Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

So Su Li furrowed his brows slightly and asked, ”What is Knight Connor here for?”

Could it be that just as I’m making a bit of progress in my endeavors, the family can’t wait to come and collect taxes?

This is indeed a problem. If the clan leader demands that I contribute some wealth to the family, should I fulfill my duties as a family member?

Hilude gently comforted, ”It shouldn’t be a bad thing, right? Since family has come, it’s a connection from our blood relatives. Logically and emotionally, we should go and meet them.”

Su Li nodded and said, ”Then let’s go back and take a look.”

At worst, face the soldiers with generals, and shield the water with earth.

Then Su Li whistled, and the Death’s Claw, soaring in the sky, immediately took a spiral dive, drawing a graceful flight curve in the sky, and swooped downwards.

Although Death’s Claw is large, it is quite immature at heart. As it swooped down, its wings stirred up a fierce wind, making some of the less strong Armed Attendants unstable on their feet.

The fierce wind made Su Li and Hilude’s vermilion robes flutter loudly, but luckily, Death’s Claw was swift in its flight and landed smoothly, stopping abruptly and standing steadily before Su Li.

Su Li then flipped and mounted the back of Death’s Claw, heading directly towards the castle.

His knight guards mounted their horses in unison and followed, galloping after the silhouette of the griffin.

Soon, Death’s Claw landed directly in the courtyard before the main tower of the castle, and the gust from its wings made the Moon Crown Trees in the courtyard rustle, filling the entire castle with fragrance.

This tremendous momentum and imposing aura instantly alerted all those awaiting him in the castle.

The President of the Provincial Affairs Council, and Lord Rong’en, the priest of the Sun Goddess Church in the territory, first came out of the room. He instructed two Hesse Guards to lead Death’s Claw away, then said to Su Li, ”My Lord, I have already arranged for your family’s knight order. Knight Connor is waiting for you.”

Knight order?

Su Li’s eyes lit up because, to his knowledge, the Bauhinia Clan had only one knight order, the Red Night Knight Order.

This is the elite of the elite of the family, all elite knights. When pioneering the Bauhinia Valley, clad in Blazing Soul Law Rune Armor, raising the Bauhinia Battle Banner, the Red Night Knight Order was the nightmare of all Green-skinned Warbands and Beastman Roar Beast Groups.

Could it be that Knight Connor has brought the Red Night Knight Order?

Su Li then moved towards the person standing behind Rong’en, facing Knight Connor, who looked somewhat familiar.

Although he hadn’t seen him for half a year, after seeing him, Su Li finally recalled his appearance, then smilingly extended his right hand, saying, ”Welcome, Knight Connor. Having family members visit makes us knights in foreign lands feel so close.”

Knight Connor snorted coldly and said, ”So, Young Master Suli, you still remember the family, huh? My unworthy son Stern still knows to write a few letters back to report peace. Since Young Master Suli came to the territory, apart from informing the family, there has been no news!”

”If the family hadn’t learned from the Sun Goddess Church’s priest about Young Master Suli’s heroic achievement of defeating the Divine Chosen Demon, the family thought Young Master Suli had disappeared without a trace in the Border Prince’s Territory. The Count asked me to inquire whether Young Master Suli still remembers his father and the Bauhinia Clan.”

Su Li turned to look at the Minister of the Seal, Lauren, since when did I write to the family?

When he left the family back then, he felt like breaking out of an iron cage, roaring tiger and leopard, unearthing golden chains to release a dragon; no one could bind him.

How could he have thought of reporting back to the family?

At that time, he had the heart of a young wanderer, only thinking of roaming the world, never of the bonds behind.

In this world with difficult transportation, who among young people wandering far from home in their past lives on Earth, with a world of advanced communication, would occasionally contact parents at home?

The Minister of the Seal, Lauren quietly took a step back, avoiding Knight Connor’s gaze, and secretly raised an index finger, pointing at the second floor of the main tower.

Su Li suddenly understood. On entering the territory, the people on the second floor could only have been Hilude and Avril. Avril was so innocent that if Su Li had overlooked something, she would have realized less.

So it can only have been Hilude being thorough, silently writing a letter, and sending it back to Bauhinia Castle.

She didn’t tell Su Li clearly, seeing the estrangement Su Li had towards his family.

If Su Li were a normal bloodline of the Bauhinia family, how could he never mention family matters? But Su Li was a transmigrant; he saw his nominal father only once, naturally having little to mention. Even concerning his several brothers, he couldn’t name them all. How could he not feel distant?

She, being so intelligent, had undoubtedly quietly observed everything clearly.

She actually also doubted whether the Bauhinia Earl still remembered the appearance of his son, but family bloodlines and connections aren’t swayed by emotions.

After all, blood is thicker than water. Although Su Li had some estrangement from the family, when Su Li achieved some success in his career, the family decisively extended more investment. They sent more family resources to assist him.

Su Li also clearly heard the kinship beyond the reproach in Knight Connor’s words. After deciphering Lauren’s gestures, he promptly said, ”How could that be? I always remember the Bauhinia bloodline within me, Knight Connor. Did you see that fluttering banner on the castle? I never forgot the oath made with my father.”
