Chapter 800 - 497: The Puzzling Peace, Banquet Begins
Because the chainmail gloves concealed it, the ring could not be seen.
Zong Shen suddenly stopped speaking. He took off his gloves and removed the Silver Lion Ring.
He stored it into the storage grid.
His intuition told him that it might cause trouble if Baron Bezos saw the ring.
This precaution was just to be on the safe side. He could wear it again after the banquet.
Wenresa and the others listened patiently to Zong Shen but did not show any more reaction.
Regarding Richardson, Wenresa showed a slight remembrance.
However, she didn’t have a deep impression, only recalling that he was a highly reputed Great Knight among humans.
His knightly spirit was hailed as a model among Human Race Knights of the last era.
He was a righteous, respectable, brave, tenacious, and promise-keeping knight.
Such an evaluation from Wenresa was considered very high praise.
Unfortunately, Wenresa didn’t have more information to provide, as the Silver Covenant Corps she created was of a higher tier than the Silver Lion Knight Order singularly.
The Silver Covenant was entirely composed of high elf casters, and their tier was not low.
Yet this wasn’t much of a problem; he was prepared to consult the strategy guide.
Taking advantage of the gap before the banquet, he aimed to fully understand the ruins situation.
"Please tell me the detailed information about the Silver Lion Corps Headquarters ruins."
(The ruins are located in the mountains, adjacent to a crescent-shaped lake. The changes over ten thousand years have altered the terrain significantly. The original garrison ruins are buried underground. The lake is now occupied by a group of shallow water fishmen. Excavation is required, where a batch of knight equipment, treasure chests, and some special items remain
Your Silver Lion Ring will be greatly useful in this expedition.
Besides the fishmen, there may also be Skeleton Knights infected by the Undead Calamity slumbering within the ruins.)
The Silver Lion Corps Headquarters ruins turned out to be simpler than Zong Shen’s expectations.
The marked danger factors were only two: first, the shallow water fishmen inhabiting the lake.
The second being the Skeleton Knights that might be disturbed during the excavation.
The remaining challenges primarily lay in the excavation itself.
After reading the guide tips, Zong Shen felt assured.
As the knight order’s headquarters, it was normal to retain a batch of knight equipment.
It was likely the standard equipment of the Lion Knights.
Based on the power shown by Richardson as the Legion Commander.
The Lion Knight Order he commanded during his life was surely of high caliber.
Being a Human Knight Order from the last era, its combat power and value would surely surpass the current Kingdom Knight Order.
Zong Shen estimated that it was at least composed of Tier Four and Tier Five Knights.
Perhaps even Tier Six Knights were present.
Regarding Richardson, even as a Skeleton Knight, he could chase off almost a squad of Tier Four Dragon Descendant Knights. When he was alive, with flesh and full will, he was at least an Epic Level powerhouse, possibly a Legendary Powerhouse.
Currently, Zong Shen had a general understanding of the Silver Lion Knight Order Headquarters ruins.
They were about four to five hundred kilometers away from Boss Bang.
Over three hundred kilometers of the journey required traversing mountainous terrain.
Zong Shen and his companions could swiftly reach the destination by riding Eagle, but what about Baron Bezos?
Additionally, how should the spoils found in the ruins be distributed?
Thinking of this, he regretted attending the appointment.
He should have secretly obtained the ruins details through the strategy guide module and taken the ruins himself.
But if he didn’t use this as an excuse, he would break off the connection with Baron Bezos.
Considering this, Zong Shen felt a bit troubled.
If Baron Bezos sends only infantry or relies solely on horses.
Just traveling from Boss Bang to the ruins site would take at least four to five days.
This amount of time might be insignificant for Baron Bezos, but it posed challenges for Zong Shen.
The next round of challenges would begin in three and a half days.
By then, he would need to put aside matters and return to the territory.
While Zong Shen was furrowing his brows, a butler approached.
"The banquet is ready."
"Please follow me, sir."
He slightly bowed and courteously said.
Zong Shen nodded, rose first, and led everyone following the butler upstairs.
It was still the same reception dining room as before.
This time, there were fewer people.
Only Baron Bezos, his wife, and a few wine waitresses were present.
As Zong Shen and his companions entered the dining room, Baron Bezos, hand in hand with his wife, greeted them at the door.
"Younger Brother Zong, this is my wife."
"Lu Yisabel."
Baron Bezos reached out and shook hands with Zong Shen, then pointed to his wife to introduce her.
His wife was short, with a slightly pale complexion and a faint smile on her face. She extended her hand towards Zong Shen.
It was his first time meeting Baron Bezos’s wife, in accordance with this world’s Western-style conventions.
He should also address her as "madam."
Determined, he reached out and touched Lu Yisabel’s hand.
Holding her hand back, he lightly kissed it at the lips.
"Madam, delighted to meet you."
"I am also delighted to meet you, sir."
"Welcome to the castle as our guest."
After exchanging pleasantries, Zong Shen led the warriors to take their seats.
Baron Bezos was the last to be seated; as the host, he needed to greet every guest.
Even if all the guests were Zong Shen’s subordinates, he did not make exceptions.
Once he settled into his seat, a maid immediately closed the dining room door.
The banquet was once again sumptuous, the table filled with dishes.
Nearby, the wine waiters served him wine, attending to him very carefully.
