Chapter 7 Elite Knight Bloodbeard Frederick

As it turned out, Count Suna's view of Su Li was obviously slightly different from reality.

Ordinary people simply couldn't hold their temper and bide their time at such a crucial moment. But who was Su Li? A perpetually oppressed office worker! Constantly under pressure to submit work reports, the pressure had driven him to sudden death! After all, with so little work to show for it, how could he possibly submit a work report? He could only delay it for a day!
Having already died once, Su Li was now in a very calm state of mind. So after venting his anger on the little maid, Su Li, feeling refreshed, rested his head on Avril's cool legs and prepared to take a nice nap.

He rubbed his head against Avril's round, smooth legs for a few comfortable circles, and sighed with pleasure, "Women's bodies are truly wonderful. Why are their legs not only smooth and delicate, but also slightly cool? It's so comfortable!"
Before falling asleep, he reminded the little maid, whose body and mind had already taken on his own shape, "Avril, wake me up at half past three to meet Knight Frederick."

Avril was gently pressing Su Li's temple with her slender fingers to help him relieve the excitement after the intense exercise. Hearing this, she asked curiously, "Knight Frederick? Young Master, you seem to be paying a lot of attention to him recently. You've mentioned him twice in a row."

Su Li was slightly surprised. She had never thought that Avril, a mere maid, could possess such insight. She had been staying in Bauhinia Castle, and her secrets might soon be exposed.

However, abilities like this one wouldn't necessarily attract much covetousness. Many factions had their own prophets, shamans, and watchers.

Su Li felt that he could move closer in this direction, so he said, "Yes. I have a strong premonition that something bad will happen to Knight Frederick. How much do you know about Knight Frederick?"

After hearing Su Li's explanation, Avril didn't think much about it and said directly, "That might be because you have awakened the power of your bloodline. I heard that many bloodlines have strong premonitions of things to come. Some powerful knights can even foresee certain fragments of the future. If you have this ability, you can get in touch with Knight Frederick more."

"I don't know much about Knight Frederick. I only heard that he was a very fair and serious man who valued the honor and mission of a knight."

"As for the origin of his nickname, I heard it from other servants. You know, servants always gossip about the famous deeds of these knights when they are together."

Su Li's eyes lit up: "Do you know the origin of Knight Frederick's nickname? Tell me quickly."

This information may be more reliable than some specific deeds. As the saying goes, there are only wrong names, but no wrong nicknames.

A nickname can more accurately reflect a person's character, ideas, and even ideals and creeds.

Avril smiled and said, "Knight Frederick's nickname is Bloodbeard. Can you guess why he got that nickname?"

"Because he fought bravely and killed countless enemies, the blood of the enemies dyed his beard red?" Su Li always thought that he was given the nickname Bloody Beard for this reason.

Avril smiled and shook her head, saying, "That's not the case. Although Knight Frederick has always claimed this as the reason and is proud of it, in reality, everyone knows that the real reason is that Knight Frederick likes to interfere in trials, especially when presiding over the court of Bauhinia Castle. Any dispute between serfs that involves Knight Frederick will result in someone being hanged, regardless of the severity of the crime. For the Knight, as long as the crime is committed by a serf, there's no need to worry about the severity of the punishment."

"During that time, serfs didn't even dare seek trial in court if they had a dispute. If Knight Frederick believed the plaintiff was also guilty, both parties would be executed. In just a few months, Frederick executed countless criminals, literally staining his beard red with blood."

"But Knight Frederick is very fair. Anyone who does something beneficial to the family and the territory will be rewarded by him. Serfs who have made contributions will be freed from slavery and even be canonized as nobles. In the history of the entire empire, only three serfs have been canonized as formal nobles, and one of them was promoted by Knight Frederick." Upon hearing this, Su Li became even more interested in Knight Frederick.

This world is an extraordinary world. In the human empire, those with extraordinary powers are named knights, just like the cultivators and qigong practitioners in other worlds.

Therefore, in the field of cultivation, the level division is still very clear, divided into apprentice knight, formal knight, elite knight, champion knight, God-chosen knight, legendary knight, and sanctuary knight. As for what is beyond the sanctuary, that is not something Su Li can understand at this stage.

However, due to the extreme worship of knights, other aspects of the system were rather confusing. In terms of canonization of lords, the title of knight was also used. Any noble with a territory could be called a Knight Lord. The official empire also had a unified title for this, called the Kingdom Knight.

Therefore, the title of Knight of the Kingdom was merely a noble title, part of the lordship system, completely unrelated to cultivation level, and inherited by the eldest son. All noble sons who failed to inherit the territory, regardless of their cultivation level, were collectively called Chivalrous Knights.

A kingdom knight could even die of old age in his bed, but there were too many chivalrous knights with merit, and they had to be divided up. This resulted in the land of each kingdom knight within the empire becoming smaller and smaller. This was not because the emperor, duke, or earl had issued some enfeoffment order, but because there were too many knights and they could not be digested.

Most knights' fathers' domains consisted of a small village filled with serfs, fields for the peasants to work, and his own small castle.

When a favored heir was knighted, the domain was reduced to a small village half-filled with peasants, and the castle was more like a stone house. At this point, there was really nothing left to divide.

As a result, a large number of Chivalrous Knights, no matter how high their training level was, were stuck in the position of Chivalrous Knights and had no chance of becoming Kingdom Knights. Therefore, the Empire had to expand outward.

There are also chivalrous knights who gain status through relationships with those in power and family ties, such as Su Li. However, for the entire group of chivalrous knights, this is still a minority. After all, families with enough money to support many kingdom knights are still a minority.

Thus, the entire empire was filled with trained, highly qualified, and educated chivalrous knights who had nowhere to go and nothing to do. They could not find any kingdom knights to pledge allegiance to, or any plundering or expeditions to uphold justice.

Even the job of serving as a stable security guard for the Kingdom Knights was snatched up by a dozen chivalrous knights.

Most of them are like armed thugs, no different from the bandits running around, except that they have a horse, which makes them even worse than horse bandits.

In short, this is a country closely related to knights. It may be a little chaotic, a little desperate, but the honor and status of knights are indeed supreme.

The nobles of the empire could only become knights, starting from an apprentice knight, then making meritorious service to become a kingdom knight/pioneer knight, and then becoming a baron, earl, duke, elector, and the supreme emperor.
