Compared with the first meeting, Lord Pedros is much older. Manda asked with concern, "Sir, what''s the matter with you?"


    The old lord smiled bitterly. It was too difficult for him at this moment. He was very sad, sad and painful, but it didn''t matter. The important thing was that he had to play the trick with Manda and couldn''t lose the demeanor of a noble.


    "My son-in-law, Baron claudesai, was attacked by robbers on the way to sell salt for the residents of the town."


    "How could this happen?" said Manda in amazement. "Is the Baron hurt?"


    "The injury is very serious and may even be life-threatening."


    "God bless the baron. What can I do for him? I know a little medicine, not witchcraft, but real medicine. I''ll visit him with you immediately."


    "No, thank you for your kindness." let Manda go to Claude''s house? That was the last nightmare the old lord wanted to see.


    "I came here today to apologize to you. Mr. munchke, my son-in-law is an irrational man. He has done some irrational things before. I hope you don''t take it to heart."


    "At this time, you still say such words. I never hated the Baron," Manda sincerely looked at Pedros and put forward the first condition. "But I think it''s too dangerous to buy salt. I know the Baron is thinking about the whole town, but since he''s injured, it''s better to give me this dangerous job."


    What else can you say? Giving up the salt business is the chip prepared by the old lord. Since Manda offered it, the old lord naturally nodded and agreed.


    Manda added, "but the Viscount entrusted the Baron with the important task of buying salt. If I jump in, I''m afraid it''s wrong."


    Lord understood what Manda meant: "I will explain to the Viscount that in the future, Mr. munchke will provide all the salt in Tieshan town."


    "I don''t know the salt merchants in blue bay. I''m afraid they will deceive me."


    "I will send letters to my friends and they will give you the most reasonable price."


    Manda looked ashamed and said, "Lord, I''ve really caused you a lot of trouble. I didn''t do it for myself, but for the residents of the town."


    "Don''t say that, Mr. munchke. It should be me who should be grateful that you have freed my son-in-law from danger."


    The old lord thought that the business was settled. With a few polite words, he got up to go. Manda got up and said, "Lord, I''ll take you back and visit the Baron by the way."


    "You, it''s very polite..." it seems that you can''t go yet. Before Manda''s price has finished, the old lord sat back in his chair and said sincerely, "you have given us great help. In return, I''d like to do something for you."


    "Why are you so polite, but I really want to ask you for help. Some friends came to me a few days ago. They are ordinary farmers. I want to make a living for them, but I can''t find a suitable job. I have to buy them some land and let them resume their old business. Lord, do you know where there is fertile land?"


    This is Manda''s second price. He also wants a piece of land.


    "I have a good field near Qixing mountain. I''ll have someone bring the title deed tomorrow."


    Seven star mountain? It sounds familiar, but Manda really can''t remember where it is.


    It doesn''t matter. Take it first. You can return it if you''re not satisfied.


    "You know, I''ve just settled in Tieshan town and I''m not very rich. I hope your price won''t be too high."


    The old lord shook his head and said, "that''s too much to see. I''d like to give you this land."


    "How can I accept such a valuable gift?"


    "This is my heart. Just don''t dislike it."


    After several concessions, Manda accepted the Lord''s heart with guilt. The Lord tentatively asked, "my son-in-law needs to rest for a period of time. I believe there should be no robbers to hurt him during this period."


    "That''s hard to say," said Manda, which raised the Lord''s heart again.


    "The world is very chaotic now. There are wars everywhere. Civilians who have lost their livelihood can easily become robbers and even commit murder in the town. I''ve met them before. It''s true." Manda looked at the old lord with a dignified look.


    "So, I think..." the old Lord didn''t know how to answer.


    "I''m willing to do my best to protect the Baron, but you know, my status is very low. If I use force rashly, I''m afraid it will break the rules of the baron."


    Lord finally understood what Manda meant. This was the third condition. He wanted to be an aristocrat.


    "Mr. munchke, you are a man of noble character and a brave and kind man. I would like to recommend you to Viscount sorense. I believe he will canonize you as a knight."


    "Really?" Manda looked at the old lord with tears. "This is my dream. I should, should prepare some gifts for the viscount."


    "Don''t bother. I''ve already prepared it for you," the old lord got up. "I''m sure I can attend your canonization ceremony soon."


    "I''m sure the Baron''s injury will recover soon. The weather turns cold and I''m not feeling well. I won''t send you away."


    The business was finally settled, and the old lord said a few polite words, bent down and left the manor.


    Manda sat in a chair, crossed her legs, and tasted the wine carefully.


    Money, land, noble status... The world is so beautiful because there are many precious things in the world. There are two most effective ways to obtain them.


    One is to exchange money, the other is to exchange life. If you choose to exchange your life, don''t hold too much hope. Your life may be very cheap in the eyes of others.


    If you choose to exchange the other party''s life, congratulations. You use the right method. You can use the fastest speed to get everything he can give you.


    Half a month later, in the Viscount''s castle, Manda was officially knighted by sorense.


    This was the first time Manda had seen sorense. He was a man of about fifty years old. The elder had a slender face, a high pointed nose and a pair of almost connected eyes.


    The Viscount was a little bald. His face looked like a vulture. He took his sword and gently knocked it on Manda''s shoulder. He asked loudly: "Craig munchke, with the majesty and glory bestowed on me by the king, let you swear under my flag that you will be kind to the weak, resist violence, resist all mistakes, fight for the unarmed, help anyone who asks you for help, swear not to hurt women, help other knights with brotherly friendship, treat your friends sincerely, and remain true to your lover until death!" [note]


    Manda knelt on one knee in front of Knight sorense and spoke the oath loudly.


    From now on, Craig munchke has entered the ranks of nobility, and Mr. munchke has become a munchke knight.


    Viscount sorense prepared a sumptuous dinner for Manda. All the nobles under the Viscount were present except Baron claudesey to celebrate the Knights of munchke.


    The banquet didn''t end until late at night. When Manda got up and left the castle, the Viscount suddenly said a meaningful word.


    "Young knight, don''t you want a title?"


    Manda was stunned. He didn''t understand sorense. According to the law of the Kingdom, he was not qualified to be knighted.


    The Viscount smiled and said, "I have some new cider here. Would you like to have another drink with me?"
