Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

The lioness, Serra, was indeed as the arena master had praised: robust, elegant, and majestic, truly a queen among lions.

Her limbs were strong and powerful, covered in golden fur that gleamed in the sunlight, even without the magnificent mane of her male counterparts. Her head had smooth lines, and her ears were round and alert. By lion standards, she was undoubtedly sexy.

For those who loved petting cats, she was the perfect pet. An ordinary person from my previous life probably wouldn't dare to approach a lion this closely, but now, this agile lioness was no different from a kitten in front of a group of knights.

Especially since these knights were all wearing helmets and armor, Serra cleverly chose to observe and didn't dare to resist.

So, Su Li smoothly led her out of the town and strolled towards the cemetery.

Just as they approached the cemetery, Su Li turned to everyone and asked, "Did you guys see a shadow inside the cemetery just now?"

Hillde, having just been promoted to squire, still had the mindset of an ordinary person. Hearing this, she couldn't help but hug her arms tightly and tense up. "Young Master Su Li, don't scare me. A shadow in the cemetery, is it a human or a ghost?"

Schwartz raised his steel warhammer, his expression filled with disgust. "If they're lurking around, they're either grave robbers or vampire corpse thieves, all scum that should be smashed!"

This world also had vampires, and they were a very powerful force, especially common in the area south of the Border Prince's territory, near the coast.

Unlike the traditional image of pale, blood-sucking, nocturnal humanoids with Eastern European accents, the vampires of this world were extremely fierce. They could not only appear during the day but also form armies, wearing heavy armor, wielding greatswords, and engaging human knights in direct combat.

This was because these undead lords themselves were transformed from living people who had betrayed the empire. They despised life and survived on dark magic, making them strong, swift, and eternally living warriors.

These monsters craved to plunge the entire world into darkness and despair through slaughter, ensuring that everything was under their complete control, while foolish humans were merely slaves and food. To achieve this goal, they often stole human corpses, transforming the remains of the dead in cemeteries into undead creatures under their control, including skeleton warriors, ghouls, graveyard guardians, vampire bat demons, and so on.

It could be said that vampires were one of the human empire's most valued traitors and enemies.

They slaughtered the empire's citizens, destroyed villages and towns, and desecrated the corpses of human relatives.

Every knight had fantasized about personally defeating an evil vampire in a cemetery and tying it to a stake for public execution.

William and Sophie immediately spurred their horses into the cemetery with excitement, while Friedrich asked with some suspicion, "Why didn't I see any shadow? Does Young Master Su Li have some talent in vision that surpasses even me, an elite knight?"

But Schwartz and Hillde had unwavering faith in Su Li and had already entered the cemetery to search, so Friedrich had no choice but to follow the team.

Soon, William's proud and excited voice came from the front: "Young Master Su Li, Father, I found the shadow! It's a dodging thief! He ran away suspiciously as soon as he saw us, his behavior is very suspicious."

Su Li smiled and immediately spurred his horse over. In the middle of the cemetery, several knights surrounded a hooded thief, his eyes covered with a scarf, his daggers and crossbows knocked aside, and bloodstains on his body.

Obviously, he had been subdued after a fierce resistance.

But facing so many knights and still daring to draw a blade to resist was in itself an unusual thing.

Seeing Su Li, he immediately shouted nervously, "Who are you? I am a member of the Thieves' Guild, and I am protected by the guild. You cannot illegally imprison me!"

"Illegally?" Su Li really felt a bit of culture shock from this foreign civilization. "You're a thief talking to me about the law?"

Su Li couldn't help but turn to Friedrich and ask, "How can there be a Thieves' Guild under the jurisdiction of the Zijing Town?"

He remembered that when Friedrich was a court judge, his judgments were very crude, summarized as death! death! death!

Friedrich did not deny this past, he explained: "In Zijing Town, the victims who catch thieves basically don't have the opportunity to go to court. Usually, we follow local customs and directly carry out private executions before throwing them to the guards, and the guards don't care about them. They directly strip these unlucky guys who have broken arms or legs clean and throw them outside the city or into the sewers to feed the monsters. Occasionally, alchemists who lack experimental materials will negotiate a price and sell them, anyway, the result will not be different."

"Death, death, death. Barbaric, crude, but effective. Pickpockets and petty thieves who are forced by life have indeed decreased a lot, the only problem is that organized Thieves' Guilds with official backing have grown stronger. That's the reason for their existence."

With official backing? Su Li suddenly understood, then turned to look at the thief and said, "I am the Count's son, no matter how powerful the official backing behind you is, it won't reach me. Honestly, what are you doing here? Which tomb are your companions hiding in?"

"I... I have no companions! I won't say anything."

"Break both his legs."

"Ah!" "Ah!" A scream immediately rang out, especially terrifying in this gloomy cemetery.

Looking at the thief rolling and wailing on the ground, Su Li had no sympathy, and said lightly, "Give him three seconds, if he doesn't confess, break his third leg."

Facts have proved that 99.99999% of the people in the world cannot withstand torture. He was just a lowly thief, not a noble revolutionary martyr. With just a little torture, he directly surrendered.

"I'll talk! I'll talk! It's in the largest tomb in the north."

Su Li waved his hand and said to Schwartz, "My chief knight, take people to drag out all the despicable thieves inside."

Friedrich was very dissatisfied and said, "Young Master Su Li, cleaning up these dark rats can be left to the city defense team. How can we, noble knights, do such dirty work?"

"There might be a surprise," Su Li said with a faint smile.

Friedrich could not resist Su Li's firm attitude and could only follow Schwartz into the tomb, but he was still indignant, and said angrily to William and Sophie, "Today is the most humiliating day of my life! If yielding to maintain honor is destined to make me endure endless humiliation in the future, perhaps our family should think of a way out."

Sophie advised, "Father, don't be too impulsive. Young Master Su Li might be guessing that there are vampires inside. If you chase vampires into the tomb, not only will it not tarnish your honor, but it will be an honor worth singing about."

"Oh my God! Heavens above, what have I found?" Hillde's shocked voice came from the front.

Following the direction of his finger, everyone saw the dazzling metal hidden in the pottery jar—vibranium! A large amount of vibranium! Vibranium of unparalleled value!

Schwartz instantly took a cold breath, and said in shock: "Young Master Su Li really guessed it right, we would pick up vibranium when we went out today. If I hadn't witnessed it myself, I couldn't believe it."

The anger in Friedrich's heart instantly vanished, his eyes flashing with shock and excitement, he walked out of the tomb excitedly, his voice filled with undisguised respect and excitement: "Young Master Su Li, you are really amazing! Every decision you make is so wise and brilliant, you will definitely become the greatest lord! Glory, hymns, flowers, and our loyalty will always follow behind you!"

So exaggerated? This change came too quickly, Su Li smiled and asked, "Knight Friedrich, what did you find inside?"

"At least 150 kilograms of vibranium, 50 gold coins in stolen money, and about 20 gold coins worth of stolen goods! Shall we take all of these away?"
