Chapter 141: Oath

"The Savoy family...it turned out to be them.

Lu He thought which family was so brave, but it turned out to be the Savoy family, this little jerk.

Every day he spent some time to understand the power and various businesses of the Soros family.

Because in a few days he will be officially canonized by the royal family of the Crescent Empire and become the new head of the Soros family, the 16th Earl of Soros.

At that time, everything in the Soros family will belong to him, and it will be the capital to help him on his road to truth exploration, so Lu He is still more concerned about these things.

As for the Savoy family, it is a new viscount noble in Xiangmu City. Intelligence shows that this family has two extraordinary knights in this generation, and its strength is at a medium level among the viscount families of the Crescent Empire.

Strictly speaking, the Savoy family and the Soros family are in a cooperative relationship .

They provide the raw materials for producing spices, while the Soros family processes them into finished products, and then lets their own caravans sell the finished spices to the southern coast of the empire.

Obviously, most of the profits on this spice profit line are earned by the Soros family.

The reason is simple, it is still the middlemen who make a profit from the price difference. The role played by the Soros family is the middleman, which not only squeezes the Savoy family but also plunders downstream customers.

The Savoy family is definitely unwilling, but the Soros family is much stronger than them. Although they are a local force, they are still suppressed by the Soros family.

Now, it should be the accidental death of the head of the Soros family that made them think about it.

"There must be other families involved in this, otherwise the Savoy family would not have the courage, not to mention running so far to come to the Highland City for assassination. "Lu He thought to himself.

Because the strength of a family is not only measured by the number of knight-level extraordinary people, but also by the foundation and influence.

Just like the Soros family, not counting the dead head of the family, there seem to be only four knight-level extraordinary people directly under them, but the number of knight-level extraordinary people who can influence and mobilize is far more than four, not to mention the number of knight attendants.

After thinking for a while, Lu He gave up, because there are too many nobles, organizations, and forces.

"Wait for Butler Jose to find out, and kill all the suspects and the forces behind them!"

"The crime is collusion with aliens and anti-humanity!" Listening to the occasional sporadic gunshots outside the window, Lu He muttered to himself.

Crack!

The sound of the broken cup interrupted his thoughts. He turned around and saw that it was the half-elf's hand that was shaking again.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not going to kill you and your tribe. You will follow me in the future, and no one will dare to bully you. "

Lu He was a little worried that his first humanoid supernatural race would be frightened, so he held her little hand to comfort her.

"Well...if your clan leader is willing, you can also cooperate with the Soros family later."

"Thank...thank you, sir." Selya's thin hands stiffened instantly, and she whispered softly.

The originally pale face began to turn pink again, but the heart that was raised was put down.

"Sir, it's just...isn't your cooperation with our tribe also colluding with aliens and opposing humanity?" Selya suddenly remembered what Lu He said just now, and she couldn't figure it out.

Lu He laughed dumbly, pinched her pointed ears with his left hand, and said seriously and seriously:

"How can this be the same! The starting points of the two are completely opposite. The Savoy family is exploiting you."

"But I'm not. I want to form a permanent partnership with your half-elf tribe, promote friendly relations between humans and half-elves, and form a beautiful situation of harmonious coexistence, common development, mutual benefit and win-win. "

"Oh oh! "Selya nodded, not quite understanding, thinking that what the adults said made sense.

"You must be thirsty, drink more water." Lu He looked at the pale little hands of the half-elf and felt that she was a little anemic, so he took another cup and filled it with hot water for her.

"Thank you, sir~" Selya was no longer afraid and laughed happily.

It must be said that the half-elf is very beautiful. When she smiles, she looks like a blooming white orchid, beautiful and holy.

It made the time-tested warrior Lu He lose his mind slightly.

Then Lu He asked some information about the alien races in the Dawn Forest and the distribution of their forces.

When Lu He learned that there were werewolves, blood clans, barbarians and other alien races in the Dawn Forest, the blood in his body began to get excited, and he wanted to kill them right now and catch all these extraordinary species into his laboratory.

It took a while to recover his excitement.

The two of them After chatting until late at night, Lu He called Nicole and asked Celya to sleep with her at night.

Before leaving, under the complicated gaze of the half-elf, Lu He drew a full tube of her blood.

...

The next morning.

After meditating, Lu He felt full of energy, his eyes were shining and very bright.

He silently sensed his own state, and then calmly got up and washed.

As he broke through to the knight level, his body began to constantly feed back to the soul, and the recovery speed became faster and faster.

He felt that at most three days, he should be able to recover to the mental level of a primary apprentice.

And after being able to use magic power, many spells can be cast, and the recovery speed will be further improved at that time.

"Master Sauron, the suspects have been screened overnight. Do you want to go and see?"

When Lu He went downstairs, Butler Jose was sitting on the sofa in the hall with a sword waiting. Opposite him were Liu Jin and Kate, who had dark circles under their eyes and yawned constantly.

Obviously, the two of them had been kept awake all night by the occasional gunshots and screams outside.

Lu He felt more at home when he saw Liu Jin's appearance.

Liu Jin's skin color was originally very white, comparable to that of a half-elf. After having dark circles under his eyes, the contrast was even more obvious, and he was extremely similar to the giant pandas on Earth.

"Let's go and see who is against humanity."

"Student Zoro, what is against humanity?"

"Zoro, shouldn't it be murder? Why is it suddenly against humanity!?"

Lu He's words made the three of them a little confused.

However, he did not explain, and asked Butler Jose to lead the way to the place of detention.

Seeing this, Liu Jin followed.

It didn't take long for the few of them to reach the central square of the farm, which was where the bonfire party was held before.

At this time, the square was surrounded by guards of the Soros family, and the center of the square was surrounded by a circle.

Most of the guards were knights with long swords, and a few were ordinary soldiers with flintlock rifles.

In addition, archers were arranged on several commanding heights around the square, scanning the entire place vigilantly.

Along the way, Liu Jin was secretly shocked. For the first time, she saw the true strength of the Soros family.

Most of these guards were knight attendants, among which there were at least thirty high-level knight attendants.

Especially the twelve black knights wearing heavy armor standing next to the square. She could feel the extraordinary sharpness and immovable momentum from a distance.

In addition, there was an unfamiliar knight-level extraordinary.

If you count the coachman Mark I saw yesterday, the white-haired butler I saw this morning, and her student Solon, there are a total of four!

You must know that the knight-level here is the same level as the fighters in Dongzhou.

Her sect, Jinghuamen, has only two fighters, and her family has only one. The two sides combined are not as good as the Soros family present, not to mention those who are not present.

"Hello, Master Zoro!"

"Master, good morning!"

"Master, good morning!"

Flitt saluted with his left hand, which was not quite standard, because his right hand was in a cast.

"Well, Flitt, you are very good!"

When Lu He heard Flitt call him the master of the family, he nodded with satisfaction and patted his shoulder to show encouragement.

Of course, more importantly, his performance was indeed good. On the way here, Butler Jose told him that Flitt had captured Elijah, the patriarch of the Savoy family, alive.

"Thank you, Master, Flitt swears allegiance to you until death!"

After hearing Lu He's words, Flitt knelt on one knee, his face flushed with excitement, and even a little incoherent.

This scene shocked Liu Jin behind him again.

Although she had heard about the chivalry of Xizhou a long time ago, this was the first time she saw a knight kneeling down to swear an oath.

Because in Dongzhou, fighters have a very high status, and they can choose not to kneel even when facing the emperor of the Eastern Empire.

"Mark swears allegiance to the master of the family until death!" Mark knelt on one knee with a sword and swore loudly.

"Swear allegiance to the master until death!"

"Swear allegiance to the master until death!"

"Swear allegiance to the master until death!"

As the two knelt down, the other knights around them also knelt on one knee and swore loudly, even the white-haired Jose butler beside them knelt down.

For a moment, the sound of swearing allegiance was so loud and deafening that it echoed endlessly over the square.

At this moment.

Lu He truly became the patriarch of the Soros family!

The only people standing at the scene were Lu He and Liu Jin, except for ordinary soldiers.

Ordinary soldiers just bowed because they were not qualified to swear allegiance.

Only those who embarked on the path of knighthood were qualified. This has been a tradition in Xizhou since ancient times.

Liu Jin felt extremely embarrassed. He was at a loss whether to kneel or not.

He wished he could dig a hole on the spot and bury himself in it.

"I accept your allegiance!"

Lu He slowly drew out the long sword at his waist, pointed the tip of the sword diagonally into the sky, and then cut it down instantly.

Tear!

A brilliant sword energy shot straight into the sky, cutting through the air, leaving behind a long, rolling white wave of air that did not dissipate for a long time.
