Chapter 22: An Unexpected Surprise

Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info "The Cresters?" Leo crossed his hands and moved his body slightly to make his sitting position more comfortable, and after thinking about it, he decided to reveal some strength a little

"I'm sorry, I don't know much about them, you know, in my hometown I am only one of many kingdoms, many noble lords, in my limited memory, there is no famous noble family with the surname Crest, but if you mean strength, Swan Knight? Hehe......"

Speaking of this, Leo was a little distracted, and his mind went back to the days when he was obsessed with Pande day and night, the towering winged helmet, beautiful silver armor and horse armor of the same texture made novices who played Pande for the first time feel amazing, but in terms of combat power, they were far from the Falcon Knight, Dragon Knight, who was also Winston

Compared to the vase, it can't compare to Lyra and Rose, the riding spear can't compare to the falcon, and the hand-to-hand combat is not the opponent of the Dusk and Dawn Knights, and its attributes are crushed by the Lion Knight and the Dragon Knight, and it has been at the bottom of the competition with the Valkyrie Knight for many years......

I don't know what kind of courage did that traverser have to choose them, or because of some accident? Because in Leo's opinion, even with the blessing of the system after the materialization, the swan knight is much stronger, but in the face of his own punishment and dawn, I am afraid it is still vulnerable

Retracting his thoughts, Leo organized his vocabulary slightly, looked at the two dukes who were a little anxious, and replied slowly

"As for the Swan Knight, in Pande, we jokingly call it the 'Civilian Knight', and the strength can only be said to be unsatisfactory, as for the comparison, ......?"

Speaking of this, Leo made an apologetic gesture to the duke, turned his head and shouted to the two captains who were drinking and chatting not far away

"Come over dear Keith, oh no, no, Finn, all you need is Keith himself, and you can continue to enjoy your wine"

As the somewhat unknown Keith approached, Leo smiled and proudly introduced the Duke of Lancaster and Peyton, who were also confused

"Honorable Excellencies, this is Keith, one of the three leaders of my direct Knights of Discipline, and he will probably be able to answer our questions!"

Turning his head, Leo squeezed his eyes narrowly at Keith, "Keith, Your Excellency the Duke wants to know the strength of the Swan Knight, can you please explain?" ā€

"My lord? Are you referring to the swan knight? The one of our Panders? Keith's tone was a little uncertain

"That's right, that's it"

"Well, if you want me to answer" Unable to complain about his lord's bad taste, Keith nodded slightly at the Duke and shrugged his shoulders

"Mass-produced knights with simple training and no characteristics, in Pande, only an earl or baron will use a large number of swan knights, any famous knight order on the continent can easily crush them, well, if Lord Leo is willing, we only need a few dozen punishment knights to scatter hundreds of them without any losses, that's it!"

"That's it?"

After listening to Keith's description, the Duke of Lancaster was not convinced and deeply shocked, the legendary swan knight who is not afraid of death is such a low-level existence in Pander?

You must know that in the empire, all the nobles who know about that period of history regard the existence of the Swan Knights as the main force in the rise of the Crest family, and this result makes him a little dizzy and unbelievable

However, years of experience have made him unable to see any exaggeration or lying in Keith, and when he says this, it seems as casual as saying what to eat for dinner, and he does not even bother to reveal his contempt

What does this mean? The strong swan knight in their minds can't cause any trouble at all in the eyes of these people, and they may have to re-evaluate Leo's strength......

Finally calmed down, the Duke politely thanked Keith for his explanation, and only after the other party touched his head and left inexplicably, the Duke sighed to Leo

"Leo, your hometown is really a desirable place, I really hope that one day I can see this continent full of magic and magic with my own eyes, and see what kind of power can create such a great noble ...... as you and the ancestors of the Crest family."

Reserved and polite to the duke's admiration, Leo took a sip of wine and said with a smile

"You don't have to be so surprised, the continent of Nice has its own unique charm, I love this vibrant place very much, and besides, Keith and the others, even in Pande, are among the top knights, and they can only be cultivated by extremely harsh and even terrifying training for a long time, and I am only lucky to have their recognition and allegiance."

"You're a lucky man, but speaking of knights, I have a little piece of information to share with you," Peyton took over with the duke, who was still a little excited

"Oh?"

Extremely pleased with Leo's obvious curiosity, the Marquis spoke slowly

"We have learned that His Excellency Li Aldo, Grand Master of the Imperial Glory Knights Order and the lifelong honorary president of the Continental Knight Guild, may invite you to visit the Imperial Knight Academy recently, of course, this may only be at the behest of His Majesty the Emperor......"

After finishing speaking, the Marquis of Peyton glanced at Leo who was in deep thought, and did not disturb or urge, pinched a grape and peeled it carefully, but the corners of his eyes looked at it from time to time, as if he wanted to see something from the other party's face

After thinking about it for a while, Leo, who couldn't figure it out, had no choice but to give up, if the news brought by the Marquis was true, he could only make a judgment and decision after meeting His Excellency Lealdo, who was famous in the continent

However, from the bottom of his heart, Leo was still inclined to the great aristocratic forces represented by the two in front of him, after all, Bernadotte I's reaction made him a little dissatisfied, and after coming to the imperial capital for so many days, the emperor did not even have any sign of summoning him

Although it was also considered that there might be some problems within the royal family, Leo was still extremely angry about this, and Elena's appearance made the duke's bargaining chips even heavier......

Thinking of this, Leo raised his head and said meaningfully

"I have often heard about the deeds of His Excellency Lealdo, and if I can receive an invitation from His Excellency the Celestial Knight, I will be very happy to attend the appointment, although this also arouses my sadness, I don't know when His Majesty Honorable Bernadote I will have time to receive my audience......"

Leo deliberately expressed a little dissatisfaction with the royal family, which made both of them extremely satisfied, after all, no one wanted to see a half-hearted ally, of course, the Duke of Lancaster and they also understood Leo's current situation

Even with the approval of the House of Nobles, if they want to obtain the identity of the actual controller of the Northern Territory, they still have to obtain the permission and order of His Majesty Bernadotte I, so from this point of view, they are all in favor of Leo to maintain good relations with the royal family for the time being

Since it was a public banquet venue, and several people were meeting for the first time, many things could only wait until the later time, and then slowly communicate, and roughly estimated the time, the Duke of Lancaster said to Leo

"Leo, next week there will be a big auction in the Imperial Capital, many treasures and even historical collections will participate in this auction, I hope you will join us, there may be items that you are interested in, at least I have heard that there is a gem that is rumored to be handed down from the Crest family, and it will also participate in the auction......"

"Huh?"

The duke's last words made Leo a little surprised and ecstatic, if it was really as the Duke said, the Crest family, who had been confirmed by him as a traverser, would have passed down the gem that was most likely the 'Dragon's Tears' that he also owned

Suppressing his excitement, Leo promised

"Of course, Your Excellency the Duke, I am very willing to participate in this grand event, and I am also willing to have further exchanges with your family and the Hohenzollern family......"

Hearing this, the Duke of Lancaster and the two stood up, and just as they were about to say goodbye and leave, the Duke suddenly seemed to remember something, and smiled at Leo

"One more thing, Elena will stay in the imperial capital for a long time, if Leo you want, you can come to the Duke's Palace to find her at any time, and with you by your side, I don't have to worry too much about this child being too boring here......"
