"Heroes really come from young people."
"I remember that your name should be Pei En.”
"Becoming a Knight Apprentice at the age of fourteen, your future is truly limitless.”
"Lord Viscount, you flatter me."
" All of this is because I became a member of the viscount's guards. If I didn't have enough meat, I might still be a poor farmer.”
Pei En looked at the old man sitting in front of him and smiled humbly.
This was Viscount Tariga, the uncrowned king of Tariga's territory. Although he was old, he was a true knight.
In front of such an existence that he absolutely could not contend against, Baen still maintained his humble attitude.
"Hahaha."
"It's not a good thing to be so slippery at such a young age.”
"Since you've become a Knight Apprentice, then you must show off your abilities in order to climb to the next peak. Otherwise, you'll end up like Xilang, a high-ranked Knight Apprentice is the end of your life.”
Viscount Tariga was stunned for a moment after hearing Paine's words, and then he laughed out loud.
Perhaps Viscount Tariga's age could not compare to the age of Paine's previous and current life plus the age of his two projections, but because the starting point was completely different, Viscount Tariga's experience was still deeper than Paine's.
Even if a beggar lived for a thousand years, he would still be a beggar.
The starting point was being a noble. Before the age of 20, he was already an apprentice knight. At the age of 45, he broke through to become a powerful knight. Viscount Tarigaya, who was now 82 years old, had an exciting life.
It was far from what the current Paine could compare to.
That was why Viscount Tariga was stunned when he saw the way Paine spoke. It was because Paine's way of speaking was very familiar to Viscount Tariga.
"Lord Viscount is right."
Baen nodded respectfully.
Since Viscount Tariga had used Cyran as an example, this matter could be considered a success.
Viscount Tariga wouldn't make things difficult for a talented young man with a limitless future just because of a dead Xilang.
"I've already sent people to investigate today's matter.”
"The reason why things have come to this point is that Xilang brought it upon himself. Since Xilang has already been killed by you, Baen, then Xilang's casino will be taken over by you.”
"Thank you very much for your guidance, Lord Viscount.”
"Yes…"
"Although it might be a little useless, Paine, I still want to ask you something. Are you willing to join the Tarigaya family and become a member of the Tarigaya family?”
Viscount Tariga looked at Paine seriously.
Vaguely, Viscount Tariga was even a little nervous.
Viscount Tariga was already over eighty years old this year. Even if he was a strong knight, his peak physical strength was far above that of a knight apprentice. He had already entered the low point.
The Kingdom of Ruick had been peaceful for a long time. Other than preventing the invasion of wild beasts, there was no war. However, this did not mean that it was really peaceful.
In order to prevent the power of the nobles from expanding too much and threatening the ruling position of the royal family, the royal family of the Kingdom of Ruick did not prohibit disputes between nobles.
Just like in a fantasy novel where several families fought in a city, the Kingdom of Ruick had a similar pattern.
Every year, there would be competitions between nobles of the same level.
The winner would receive a portion of the loser's income and support for the next year, while the loser would have a two-year buffer period to alleviate the situation where the strong would always be strong.
As for the final victor, it would naturally be suppressed by the royal family.
Only when all the nobles joined forces could they threaten the status of the royal family. The strength of a single noble was completely insignificant. In any case, it would not be stronger than the royal family.
Viscount Tariga was naturally not worried about winning too many matches in a row and being targeted by the royal family. That was something that only dukes and even princes needed to worry about.
Viscount Tariga was worried about the fate of the Tariga family.
He was already old, and there was no one in the clan who could support him.
Even though Borut was already a peak Knight Apprentice and had the possibility of breaking through to a Knight, it would be at least ten years later. It might even be the end of his life.
The breathing method passed down by Tarigaya Clan could only help Berrut, who could never become a powerful knight in this life, become a powerful knight with a certain possibility.
That was why Viscount Tariga was so eager to invite Paine.
He might not have many years left to live. Recently, the Kingdom of Ruick was not as peaceful as it had been in previous years. The frequent border wars were overwhelming.
An old knight-level master like him who had a certain amount of combat power would definitely become the first batch of high-level cannon fodder recruited by the Luik royal family to welcome the possible future war.
He had to let the family have a new knight before the war started.
At the age of fourteen, he had already become a knight apprentice. His family background was very clean, and his three generations of ancestors were clearly visible. At this moment, he had come to Viscount Tariga's sight.
"Join the Tarigaya family?"
Paine looked at the slightly anxious Viscount Tariga and hesitated.
There was nothing to be surprised about Viscount Tariga's recruitment. He had already displayed such a genius. If Viscount Tariga still pretended not to see anything, he would really be a little stupid.
What Paine was hesitating about was whether he should agree to Viscount Tariga's request.
Joining the Tariga family would undoubtedly allow Baen's cultivation to be smoother in the short term. He could even obtain the Tariga family's full cooperation.
He no longer needed to spend eight to nine hours hunting every day. He only needed to focus on cultivation.
At the same time, he could also obtain a higher-level breathing technique.
There was no doubt that the basic breathing technique was just a hope given by the upper class to the lower class. It could not be compared to the advanced breathing technique passed down from generation to generation by the aristocrats.
With a higher-level breathing technique, Baen could become stronger faster.
On the other hand, after joining the Tarigaya family, they also had to consider and face problems from the perspective of the Tarigaya family.
This was equivalent to choosing a faction. The opposing faction did not care if one's heart really belonged to the Tarigaya family.
