Chapter 561: The Scheme of the Nobles

Kant easily noticed the strangeness in their words. A drop of his blood could create a grand knight. Kant himself knew this, and the system had mentioned it when it analyzed Kant’s Power of War.

That was the strangeness. Since they were here to ask Kant to compensate them for their losses, who would voluntarily lower the compensation for him? Moreover, they lowered the compensation at a great degree. One way was to ask him to compensate 1,200 grand knight-level powers. This meant 1,200 Swadian Royal Knights, the Sarleon Lion Knights, or the mages of the Enfath Empire. On the surface, this was far more than the value of Kant’s 500 drops of blood.

500 drops of blood could only produce 500 grand knights, and they had to provide their own soldiers at the pinnacle of knight-level.

This was too strange. With their way to force Kant to cooperate with them, there was no need for them to do this. According to them, the God of War provided them with 120 divine stones in a year, which was equivalent to 1200 drops of Kant’s blood. 1200 drops of blood was too much if Kant lost it all at once, 500 drops was just the right amount.

However, they could choose to let him pay 500 drops first, and then pay them monthly like the God of War, Edmund. If they succeeded in extorting him this time, Kant believed that these guys would not give up on keeping him as a fat sheep like Edmund to harvest the wool on a regular basis.

But this was obviously not the case. They only mentioned that Kant would pay for their losses for a year and did not mention anything about the future. Perhaps in their eyes, Kant did not have a future.

A year’s time was precisely the time when Kant’s real name completely sank into the bloodline, which meant that Kant’s bloodline could already inherit his real name. If Kant had a descendant and Kant died, his descendant could completely awaken his real name, ‘Lannister Tolia’, continue to control the rules of war through his real name, and ascend to become a new world noble, become another ‘Isaiah Lannister Tolia’.

Some thoughts appeared in Kant’s mind.

Four top counts of the Dukedom of Leo and Viscount Karl. Cameron stared at Kant, wanting to know Kant’s choice of the two compensation options they offered.

There were five world nobles — including the world’s most powerful noble Baron Tyr Isai Maud stood behind them. They did not have much doubt as to whether Kant would agree to their compensation options. The only worry was Kant’s choice. However, in order to ensure that Kant would choose to use his own blood as compensation, they had already given a huge “discount”, so they didn’t have much concern.

Kant, who was sitting high in the main seat of the hall, finished the sweet and delicious drink in the exquisite ceramic cup in his right hand. He carefully stared at the four top-notch counts and Viscount Carl. Cameron suddenly said, “I’m very curious, are 500 drops of blood enough to change one’s bloodline?”

As Kant spoke, there was a flash of panic in the four top-notch counts and Viscount Carl. Cameron’s eyes.

“Impossible. How did Baron Kant know about our plan!” Count Cody. Maud roared loudly in the depths of his heart. At the same time, he cast a suspicious gaze at Viscount Carl. Cameron.

The other three counts did the same.

Viscount Carl. Cameron shook his head slightly, indicating that he himself did not know what was going on. The four top-notch counts naturally would not believe Carl at this time. In their eyes, the interaction of Viscount Carl with Kant just now seemed to be a deliberate act, deliberately showing a ruthless act of brotherhood so that Viscount Carl. Cameron was cleared of the suspicion of betrayal. Of course, this was what the four top-ranking earls thought on purpose.

They would not suspect Grand Duke Cameron, because although Grand Duke Cameron was Kant’s biological father, he had already signed an agreement with the world noble families of the four top-ranking counts, the signature was his full real name. After he signed his name, his real name had disappeared from the parchment of the agreement. However, when he signed his name, the aura of rules that blossomed from the pen could prove that he had really signed his real name.

The agreement that he signed with his real name showed that he really wanted his biological son, Kant, who had already become a world noble, to die. Otherwise, the backlash from his real name would not be a joke.

But in any case, Kant had the blood of the Cameron family flowing in his body. In the eyes of the four top counts, perhaps Viscount Carl. Cameron had a different idea from his father. The four top counts unanimously thought so. At this time, Kant’s words undoubtedly showed that he already knew their plan — to use Kant’s blood to create a new world noble. In the eyes of the four top-ranking counts, this was undoubtedly due to Carl. Cameron’s betrayal. In fact, they did not really trust Carl. Cameron would betray, but this time their operation was destined to fail, so they had to find someone to take the blame, right?

Kant’s eyes flashed with a trace of coldness, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, but this smile had no warmth at all. Kant looked at the four top-level counts and Viscount Carl. Cameron said, “It seems that the five world nobles of the Dukedom of Leo want to kill Kant!”

At this moment, Kant was 90% sure that his guess was true. The five world nobles of the Dukedom of Leo wanted him dead, and at the same time, they wanted to use his bloodline to give birth to another world noble.

“The peaceful time of this year is because they are waiting for my real name to completely sink into my bloodline, so that my decedent can awaken from the bloodline after my death.” Kant thought, the curse-like words of the God of War before he died seemed to echo in his ears.

“You guys shouldn’t have given me a year!” Kant felt regretful for mentioning the five world nobles of the Dukedom of Leo. They had missed the best opportunity to deal with Kant. At this moment, Kant’s eyes revealed a coldness. He suddenly raised his head, and the complicated dark red patterns in the depths of his eyes slowly appeared. The world perspective suddenly changed to the rule perspective. After his real name was completely immersed in his bloodline, only then did Kant have the ability to condense his real name in his eyes and able to enter the world of the rule perspective.

At this time, the world of the rule perspective was different from when he had just become a world noble. Because at this moment, no one was standing on the countless different colored chains of the rules, and no divinity emerged from them and was penetrated by the chains of the rules. So, when he became a world noble that day, all the world’s nobles and gods gathered together, was it to witness him becoming a world noble?

Kant’s real name, which was formed by the deep red complicated patterns in the corner of his eye, had completely receded, and his perspective returned from the perspective of the rules to a normal perspective. As Kant had expected, the four top-notch counts and Viscount Carl. Cameron did not answer Kant’s very straightforward question at all. But from their frightened eyes, Kant still got the answer he wanted. Some answers, especially when one wanted to confirm an answer, did not necessarily need to be clear and specific.

“Harde, send the guest out!” Kant stood up from his high seat in the Hall of the city lord mansion and ordered the Swadian Royal Knight who was standing beside him. After saying that, he walked out of the hall. He wanted to go to the side hall of the to re-analyze the war situation. The enemy suddenly became much stronger. He had already confirmed that he needed to insert the flag representing the five noble families of the Dukedom of Leo into the sand table and insert it into the castle model of their only South County!

“Baron Kant… you… you’re not going to kill us?” Cody. Maud’s voice was filled with disbelief. As a qualified noble, it was necessary for him to be ruthless. At this time, Kant already knew that the five noble families of the Dukedom of Leo wanted to kill him. If they were in Kant’s position, they would definitely kill all five of them. This would weaken the enemy’s strength, not only were they five supreme grand knights, but they were also the leaders of the five families. Killing them would severely hit the morale of the five families.

Kant stopped walking and turned to look at the four top-ranking counts and Viscount Carl. Cameron.

The four top-ranking counts and Viscount Carl. Cameron’s heart suddenly tightened when they saw Kant suddenly stop walking. They could not help but look at Count Cody. Maud started to complain — would you die if you shut your mouth? However, it was useless to complain now. They quickly checked Kant’s expression. After all, they were now in Kant’s territory, and they were facing Kant, a man who had already become a world noble, their fate could be said to be completely dependent on Kant’s whim.

However, the gaze they saw in Kant’s eyes was an indifferent and lofty one. Compared to when Kant sat high above them in the main seat of the city lord mansion, this feeling was even more intense.

“Kill you? Is there a need for me to do that?” Kant calmly answered, “You’re just five slightly stronger bugs!”

After saying that, Kant turned around and left. Completely ignoring the reddened faces that had been humiliated by his words. The five nobles who could be said to be standing at the peak of the Dukedom of Leo, other than the world nobles, and who thought of themselves as having an incomparably noble status, could be said to be filled with endless fury.

“Four guests, please!” the Swadian Royal Knight, Harde, used a standard knight’s salute to make an inviting gesture. However, this could only mean that he was extremely well-mannered and did not really respect the five people who Kant regarded as “strong bugs”. From his words, it was obvious that he no longer regarded these five persons as distinguished guest and did not have any honorific titles. Baron Kant was the only distinguished person in the eyes of these soldiers who came from the system. Since Baron Kant had already expressed his disdain for these five persons, Harde naturally followed, he immediately reacted from his words.

“Baron Kant… If you don’t kill us today, I swear that I will definitely make you regret it! I, Cody. Maud swore that in the future, I will definitely make you kneel in front of me. At that time, I want to see if you, Baron Kant, still dare to be so high and mighty like today!” Cody. Maud shouted loudly at Kant’s gradually disappearing back.

Harde heard Cody. Maud dared to claim that his noble Lord Kant would kneel in front of him. A golden light suddenly appeared in his hand, and he punched at Cody. Maud smashed his face. “You, a worm, dare to be disrespectful to Lord Kant?”

Cody. Maud was the descendent of the most powerful baron among world nobles, Tyr. Isai. Moud. He even did not put Grand Duke Cameron, who had not awakened his real name to become a world noble, in his eyes. He had always regarded himself as the most noble person in the Dukedom of Leo. Today, when he was looked down upon by Kant, he was filled with anger, seeing that a small guard under Kant dared to provoke him, a jet-black light flashed on his fist, and he fiercely smashed it towards the fist of Harde.

“I am an elite at the peak of grand knight level, and the attribute of extraordinary power is controlled by my ancestor, Tyr Isai Maud. How can I be inferior to you, a mere guard by Kant’s side?” Cody. Moud, who was extremely angry, immediately used his full strength.

“Count Maud, please hold back!” the three top counts and Viscount Carl. Cameron shouted at the same time, “We are still in Baron Kant’s territory, you must not act on impulse!”

However, it was a little too late for them to warn him. At this moment, Harde’s fist that was suffused with golden King’s Power had already collided with Cody. Maud’s fist that was suffused with pitch-black destructive power.

Boom!

The entire city lord mansion shook.

Creak!

The flagstones under their feet suddenly made a sound. The three top counts and Viscount Carl. Cameron who heard the sound looked down at their feet and could not help but feel extremely shocked. The flagstones under their feet were already densely packed with cracks — this was the extremely hard “flagstones”, it was the same type of bluestone tiles that could withstand the pressure of four to five tons of horse-drawn carriage laid on the East and West Main Road of Lionheart City, yet the two of them was able to create densely packed cracks by stepping on it.

However, what made them even more surprised was that this guard, who looked very valiant, was actually able to block Count Maud’s punch that was full of destructive power without any damage. They did not see many people in Lionheart City who dressed like this guard.

It must be known that Count Cody. Maud’s combat strength was ranked first among the five of them. Among the five families, there were only a handful of peak grand knights who could fight against Count Maud directly. Those who could fight against him, most of them had to rely on their superior combat skills to block Count Cody. Maud. None of the peak grand knights could fight Count Cody. Maud head-on.
