Chapter 533: Chapter 272: The Knights’ Repentance (Part 3)

"He joined the Night Whisper Guild a long time ago, and he was of great help during the interrogation of Kotaron."

Kent immediately bowed deeply to Roddy,

"Honorable Baron Roddy,"

Kent’s voice carried a hint of nervousness, "Your servant Kent offers you his highest regards."

Roddy glanced at him indifferently and nodded slightly.

Vika continued, "Kent’s physical condition is somewhat lacking, but his sword skill is superb, able to easily slay opponents even when surrounded by three guards."

As he spoke, Vika knelt on one knee, "He has great potential. I wish to ask for your help to make him a knight."

Kent hurriedly knelt down, pleading, "Baron, I beg you to help me, this is my only wish!"

"In return, I will pledge my lifelong allegiance to you."

"With Vika vouching for you, it’s not a difficult task."

Roddy nodded slightly.

Roddy had no strong foundation in Red Griffin Castle and needed the service of young men like Kent; it wasn’t too late to cultivate the Breathing Technique.

"But remember your promise today, or you shall pay with your life."

Roddy warned.

Kent nodded repeatedly, "Please rest assured, I will always be loyal to you, your will is the essence of my existence!"

"Close your eyes, do not resist, accept wholeheartedly."

"Yes, my lord!" Kent immediately obeyed and closed his eyes.

Roddy wasted no words and concentrated to implant the seed of nature into Kent’s body.

Soon, Roddy took out a wooden jar containing the Knight Roar Potion,

"Go back and adjust your condition, drink this potion, and endure the pain it brings."

Roddy reminded, "Endure it, and you shall become a knight."

"Thank you for your grace, my lord!"

Kent trembled as he accepted the potion, his face full of excitement,

"I swear, I will serve you with my life and honor!"

"Alright, go quickly."

Roddy waved his hand casually, "After you become a knight, I will have many tasks for you to assist me with."

"Yes, my lord!"

Kent respectfully saluted again, stood up, and exited.

Vika didn’t leave, continuously expressed gratitude to Roddy, then reported,

"My lord, Kotaron in the dungeon suddenly came to his senses after Susanna’s death."

"He said everything he did before was a result of Susanna’s bewitchment, causing him to lose reason and judgment."

"He is still loyal to the Red Griffin Family."

"Oh?"

Roddy chuckled softly, stroking his chin, "That’s quite a convenient explanation."

"It’s not just Kotaron; the other knights who followed Susanna are also repenting."

Vika continued, "They all claim they were under the influence of a Charm Spell, and they are now fully awakened."

"Everyone is begging for forgiveness, hoping to regain the chance to serve the Red Griffin Family."

"Hmm, given Susanna’s capabilities, this might indeed be true."

Roddy pondered.

"But we can’t judge the truth of these words, so let the Earl of the Red Griffin handle it."

"After all, betrayal is betrayal, regardless of the reasons behind it."

Roddy did not know these people, unsure if the knights were truly bewitched or just weak-willed.

After all, many knights weren’t bewitched by Susanna.

"Let’s maintain the status quo, there’s nothing for us to worry about."

Roddy instructed, "Focus primarily on personnel expansion, quickly develop our people in the noble territories of the Red Griffin Family."

Roddy couldn’t stay long at Red Griffin Castle, nor could he leave anyone to guard it.

To conveniently manage affairs in the future, Roddy needed his own eyes and ears in various places.

"Yes, my lord."

Vika responded respectfully, then withdrew to convey the orders.

In the following days, Roddy had Vivian accompany him around Griffin City.

Roddy mainly sought out some goods and reliable merchants in preparation for establishing trade routes later.

In the future, Griffin City needed to connect with the Northern Wasteland; a caravan was an essential link.

With some initial impressions, he let the Night Whisper Guild investigate secretly; if suitable, then they would approach and win them over.

After being busy for three days, on the morning of the fourth day,

Roddy was enjoying toast spread with honey at the table when the old Count entered spiritedly.

His complexion was rosy, and his steps were steady and vigorous.

He had recovered from being a frail old man to a normal middle-aged man, only with some wrinkles on his face.

"Roddy!"

The Earl of the Red Griffin exclaimed excitedly,

"Look at me, I can walk!"

"Eleven years! For eleven whole years, I haven’t felt this lightness!"

The Earl of the Red Griffin was no longer calm and composed, tears glimmered in his eyes, his voice trembling with excitement,

"Previously, the nightly pain robbed me of sleep, and now I’m finally free from this nightmare!"

He quickly walked over to Roddy, gripping his shoulders firmly,

"My child, my good child! Please tell me, what do you want!"

The Earl of the Red Griffin raised his head, his eyes burning with sincerity,

"Gold coins? Land? Or weapons and equipment?"

"Anything I have, I can give to you!"
