Chapter 31: n Support, The uingWar


    <strong>The uing</strong><strong>War</strong>


    "You! When didyou be a sixth-level knight?!"


    Albert''s eyes widened. This time, he couldn''t remain calm and directly stood up from his seat.


    n smiled upon seeing the Earl lose hisposure. "That''s right, I''m already a sixth-level knight."


    n''s voice was strong and confident.


    Albert stared at n''s face for a long time. Finally, he returned to his chair with aplicated expression.


    "So, what did you want to do when you came back this time?"


    Albert understood that his useless son had changed. As for why he had changed so much, Albert did not know, nor did he want to know.


    For him, n''s change was a good thing.


    In the world of nobles, only those who were outstanding and strong could continue to prosper.


    n''s change was only good for him and the whole Thorn Flower.


    Now that n had reached the sixth-level knight, he couldnot treat him as a waste.


    There was profound meaning in Albert''s tone.


    n knew that his ability and potential had been recognized by the Earl.


    Now that the Earl had acknowledged him, he should be able to gain the support of the Thorn Flower n. This was a good thing for him and one of his goals.


    "First, I want to hand over a baron from the Blue Moon Principality to you. I heard that I can ask for a ransom from the Principality? As you know, my territory is too poor. Hey, it can''tpare to Elon''s territory "


    n sighed as he spoke and showed a sad expression.


    Earl Albert''s mouth twitched. Of course, he knew what n was thinking. This guy was hinting that he should give him somepensation.


    Albert didn''t refuse either. He nodded and said, "The ransom? Leave this matter to me. I''ll contact the Raging Bear Earl of Blue Moon Principality and give the ransom to you. I''ll alsopensate you with gold coins. As for the amount, how about fifty thousand gold coins?"


    Albert''s words surprised n. He did not expect his cheap father to agree so easily.


    It seemed that he still underestimated the Earl.


    In the eyes of this old man, the n was the first. As long as n showed his value, he would give him great support.


    "Damn! If I knew it, I would have told him the news of bing a Knight earlier!"


    n was speechless, but he was also very satisfied. After all, he had obtained fifty thousand gold coins as well asthe support of the Thorns Flower Family.


    This was not a small amount.


    "Alright, that noble is down there. I''ll have someone hand him over to youter. There''s one more thing. I think that the conduct of the Blue Moon Principality is very odd this time"


    n slightly frowned. He had to pay attention to the Blue Moon Principality because his territory was close to the sea.


    Albert was silent for a moment, but then he said, "It''s a little strange. The Blue Moon Principality seems to be very active recently. Some people have spected that the Blue Moon Principality might want to start a national war."


    Albert''s voice was calm, and a glimmer of light shed through his eyes. Speaking of battle, the Earl was extremely good at it.


    He had gained his current position by following Duke Lane on the battlefield.


    "What? National War?!"


    This time, it was n''s turn to be surprised.


    "That''s right. You should know that the Blue Moon Principality is a country on the sea and it''s made up of inds. They don''t have much resources,nd, or poption."


    "As a grand duke, it''s impossible for the Duke to be willing to stay on the sea. He''s always wanted to stay on the maind because the maind has a richnd."


    "It''s just that he has already failed once. After the founding of the country, he did not have enough strength to gain a foothold on the maind, so he was driven away and he had no choice but to build a kingdom at the sea. It seems that he is now prepared to make aeback."


    Albert indifferently spoke, as if he already knew everything.


    n was shocked. "You already knew?"


    "I just received the news not long ago. At that time I just had a guess, but it seems that this guess is extremely likely to be true. However, this war will not break out immediately, so you still have time."


    Albert gave n a meaningful look. "n, you should know what the national war means."


    Military achievements, glory,nd, resources, wealth, power!


    A few words shed through n''s mind, and at the same time, he could not help but feel a trace of passion in his heart.


    Originally, he was still thinking about how to obtainnd, poption, resources, and so on after his territory developed to a certain level.


    Now, he did not have to worry about this. As long as war broke out, he would have countless chances to obtain all these things.


    "Of course, I know what it means, father. But right now, I want to talk to you about something else."


    n took a deep breath and said in a calm voice, "Father, I need people. I need some talent."
