Chapter 592: Chapter 292: Do You Want to Become a Top Knight?_2

It seems the robbers really have nothing to do with Lurice.

Secondly, Lurice congratulates Luo De and Miss Avril on their union, and sends some gifts to express her good wishes.

Moreover, Lurice solemnly promises in her letter that all Red Griffin Clan caravans will pass through Eagle Ridge unimpeded, ensuring that the caravans will no longer be harassed or threatened by any Bandit Group.

"The Hawk Clan is truly... without a bottom line."

Vivian couldn’t help but laugh and shake her head after hearing this, "Earlier they were shirking responsibility, saying that the Hawk Clan couldn’t control these things."

"It’s normal, what’s a bottom line worth, a few gold coins?"

Luo De laughed and commented, "Profit is the highest rule of conduct in the eyes of nobility, everything else must make way for it."

"Lurice now wants to exchange their bottom line for peace with us and also hopes we can help her eradicate Madre."

"Huh? Really?"

Vivian suddenly burst into laughter,

"Having us eliminate ourselves?"

"Using this method is admitting weakness, so you could say pleading is a correct term."

Luo De said leisurely, "Everyone’s smart, Lurice might have guessed something, but without any evidence, she doesn’t dare confirm it."

Those villagers plundered by Madre have all disappeared without a trace.

From Lurice’s perspective, the most likely place for these people to go is the vast Desert.

This implies that even if Luo De did not support Madre, there’s a strong possibility of some secret deal between them.

Another possibility is that Madre is secretly supported by the border town.

If that’s the case, Lurice should work harder to maintain a good relationship with Luo De.

"Additionally, Lurice also requests in her letter that I send people to search for those captives taken by Madre."

Luo De slowly said, "Especially the Hawk Clan knights; she’s willing to pay a hefty ransom."

"That’s the key point, right?"

Vivian smiled knowingly.

"You’ve gotten smarter."

Luo De praised Vivian, also in agreement with this view.

The importance of a knight to the nobility is self-evident, and Lurice, not finding the body of the advanced Knight Salen, will certainly hope that he is still alive.

"So, do you intend to agree?"

Vivian couldn’t help but ask further.

Luo De didn’t immediately answer the question.

He exhaled a long breath, leaned back against the chair, and fell into deep thought.

"If I agree, Madre’s role with the Hawk Clan might end here, which seems a bit wasteful."

Luo De muttered to himself, "But by doing so, we can stabilize the eastern trade route and focus on dealing with Marquis Cold Blade."

"If you put it that way, I think accepting the Hawk Clan’s plea might be acceptable."

Vivian tilted her head, seriously suggesting: "The Hawk Clan’s power is no match for our Red Griffin Clan, but the Cold Blade Clan is different."

Luo De nodded slightly.

The logic that Vivian understood, naturally, Luo De understood as well.

If there’s a way to prevent outright hostility with Black Pine Ridge, that would certainly be ideal.

"The Hawk Clan is also a double-dealing bunch, we should also be cautious."

As he spoke, Luo De seemed to remember something and suddenly stood up,

"Let’s go to the dungeon."

...

...

The dark walls of the cave emitted a wave of coolness, and the air was filled with a damp smell.

Compared to the outside heat, the dark summer dungeon became something of a comfortable summer retreat.

For valuable captives, Luo De never deliberately tortured them. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Instead, he tried to provide a relatively comfortable living environment for them.

For valuable captives, Luo De never deliberately tortured them and would try to provide a relatively comfortable environment.

At least on the damp and cold mud floor, a few wooden poles and dry straw would be laid out as a simple bed.

Of course, the disobedient and stubborn ones received a hellish treatment.

Salen, who had been left for nearly three weeks, had long lost his previous restlessness.

Every day, apart from using his fingers to mark vertical lines on the wall to record the passing days, he spent the rest of his time lying on the dry grass mat in a daze.

Becoming more desperate by the day.

But when a handsome young figure suddenly appeared in the dark dungeon corridor, Salen’s upper body shot up from the pile of hay.

"Master Luo De!"

The heavy chain clashed intensely, echoing sharply in the narrow dungeon.

Salen, dragging his shackles, rushed to the iron bars, shouting at the top of his lungs, "I know you are Master Luo De!"

At this moment, Salen was like a drowning man suddenly clutching at a life-saving straw, with unprecedented hope in his eyes,

"Thank you for saving me from Madre’s hands, thank you for your mercy!"

"Rest assured, although the Hawk Clan doesn’t get along with Black Pine Ridge, if you let me go back, I will repay your kindness with all my wealth!"

"The Hawk Clan will surely give a generous thanks for your mercy!"

...

Salen’s voice was urgent, with his eyes burning with a strong will to survive.

But opposite him, Luo De’s expression remained serene, sitting leisurely on the wooden chair brought over by the guards.

As if he didn’t hear Salen’s excited words at all.

"Knight Salen, when did you become an advanced knight?"

Luo De dusted off the dirt on his pants, casually asking.

Salen was taken aback, clearly surprised by Luo De’s question.

He expected Luo De to inquire about ransom or political deals, but it was instead a trivial question.
