"Suduo?" Salu stroked his beard, and a figure suddenly flashed in his mind, "Who is Viscount Suduo of Ice Rock City?"

"It's my father." Colin recognized his new father without changing his expression.

Ever since he discovered that the leader of the Fire Fox Mercenary Group in front of him was not easy to fool, Colin understood that if he continued to lie, he would have to be more skillful, and not like the old mercenary he found for twenty copper coins. Not reliable anymore.

Karn Sudol is a real person.

Of course, Colin was not familiar with this guy at all. He only learned about his name and his recent experiences from a recent letter from his sister Caitlin.

The reason why Colin chose to impersonate this person was because of Kahn's recent tragic experience, which made it reasonable for him to appear as a knight in a place like the Bearded Tavern.

"I heard that Ice Rock City was attacked by trolls three months ago?" Saru naturally thought of the news he had heard before.

"That's right." Colin nodded with some disappointment, and at the same time, his eyes showed reluctance, hatred, anger... and other appropriate emotions. The acting skills that broke out at this moment surprised him.

Saru seemed to have been deceived, and sighed: "I heard that your father would rather die than retreat, and die with the city... He is indeed a respectable knight!"

"Thank you." Colin seemed to be holding back tears and asked with red eyes, "Do you know my father?"

"Oh, no. I have just admired Viscount Sudor for a long time."

Colin breathed a huge sigh of relief.

A real viscount and a mercenary captain, these two people are not from the same world at all. If they both know each other, then Colin feels that he is really unlucky.

"Then, Mr. Saru, can I follow your mercenary group to Fallen Eagle City?"

The reason Colin wanted to go to Eaglefall was because his sister, Caitlin Angelet, was there.

In the current crisis-ridden situation, only blood-related relatives can make him trust him.

And because his father was still fighting on the front line, Colin had no choice but to seek help from his biological sister.

"Of course." Saru finally believed Colin's fabricated identity.

Moreover, he even thought he had guessed the reason why Colin went to Fallen Eagle City: "I remember that the wife of Count Uman, the lord of Fallen Eagle City, is the sister of Viscount Sudo, so you are going to join your uncle this time. ?”

"That's right."

In fact, Colin learned from his sister's letter that the real Karn Sudor had already arrived in Fallen Eagle City and became a knight under Count Uman. He was currently discussing with the count how to regain the Sudor family's fiefdom. .

But obviously, Salu didn't know the news.

He now had no doubts about Colin's fabricated identity.

A down-and-out knight who lost his fief, his family was ruined and he had no other options, wanted to go to Fallen Eagle City to seek help from his uncle.

This makes sense.

"At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, the caravan that hired us will gather in front of the Bearded Tavern."

"Okay, I'll show up on time."

"Haha, now, respected Knight of Karn, let me buy you a drink of wheat bar!"

"my pleasure."

The second day.

The weather was gloomy and the gray fog made the road in the wild more difficult and dangerous.

This is actually the reason why Colin had to find a caravan to accompany him. Otherwise, with the strength of his knight apprentice, if he went alone, he would have been killed by a group of thieves or wild beasts in the wild.

I don't know if it was because of the large number of people in this team, or because of the reputation of the Firefox Mercenary Group, but in short, there were no surprises on the first day of the trip.

At night, the experienced Captain Salu found a place to camp against a hill and not far from a water source.

Colin built a fire, boiled some water, soaked the hard bread and stuffed it into his stomach.

He couldn't taste the food now anyway, so it didn't matter whether the food was good or bad.

The kitten disappeared long ago and probably went to hunt its own prey.

Sure enough, after a while, I saw it coming back with a mouse in its mouth.

At this time, Colin had already taken out the parchment he carried with him and added another sentence on it:

[Human blood can help advance. 】

Yes, Colin found that he had advanced, from a knight apprentice to a first-level knight.

You know, it took Colin three years to pass from apprentice to formal entry!

As for the reason for the sudden advancement, Colin now very much suspected that it was the blood of the assassin he had sucked the night before yesterday.

After drinking blood that night, Colin noticed that his body began to feel slightly warm, but because of the critical situation at the time, he did not pay too much attention.

The fever continued for the next two days and did not stop until noon today.

Later, he found that he had advanced.

Because there was no such fever reaction when drinking deer blood, Colin guessed that it was human blood.

Of course, he had another guess.

Carter, the assassin who was killed by Colin, was a first-level knight, so perhaps only the blood of professionals would help him advance.

In short, this speculation needs to be further verified.

"Is this Elvish?"

Colin turned around and saw a fat middle-aged man standing behind him, staring at the words on the parchment and making a self-righteous guess.

"Yes." Colin felt a little unhappy when he saw the other person poking his head, so he put away the parchment and said casually.

He recognized the fat man as the owner of the caravan, named Oliver.

"I didn't expect Knight Karn to be so knowledgeable and even proficient in Elvish!" Oliver immediately flattered him, and then sat down next to Colin very familiarly.

"I just know a little bit." Colin frowned slightly. He didn't have a good impression of businessmen like Oliver.

In his opinion, these profit-seeking businessmen are too purposeful in doing things, and they must have some agenda to please themselves now.

"Is this your pet?" Oliver looked at the kitten struggling with the dead mouse and started to find something to say.

"Yes."

"You have a real interest in life!" Oliver's face smiled like a chrysanthemum, "Does it have a name?"

Colin was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't think it was necessary to name this "mobile blood bag", but then he said on the spot: "It's called Xiaobai."

"Xiao Bai?" Oliver looked at the pure blue short-haired cat next to the fire. The smile on his face obviously froze, and then immediately returned to normal, "What a good name!"

"Mr. Oliver." Colin also smiled, "You are so hypocritical."

"Thank you very much for the compliment!" Oliver didn't take it seriously at all, and his shamelessness was amazing.

The two chatted for a while, and after they became a little more familiar, Oliver suddenly lowered his voice and said:

"Knight Karn, if you want to regain the Sudo family's fiefdom, I may be able to provide you with some help!"

Colin, who was originally drowsy, suddenly became energetic and turned his head to look at the fat businessman next to him with a half-smile:

"Do you know what you're talking about?"
