“But you clearly have the Crystal Stone that directly connects to Lord Paryen.”

The Bow Knight reprimanded,

“Why do you have to come to find me and relay a second-hand message?

Is that somehow delightful?”

“Mainly because I had agreed with the Lord last time that I must not disturb him directly unless it is a major issue, so I have to follow the proper procedures.

I need to go through the process and schedule an appointment in advance to avoid the Lord having any issues with my rash actions.”

Murphy somewhat excessively explained,

“Also, I really didn’t see what you wrote just now…”

“Shut up, Your Excellency the Governor!”

Lionea put down her short sword, expressing her dissatisfaction,

“As this is official business, let’s handle it officially.

Please state your request, and I, as the Vanguard Commander, will forward your request into the application process of the Knights Group.”

“Um, it’s like this.”

Since Lionea had asked about serious matters, Murphy could not linger on the past matters.

He spoke about the importation of Burning Gold, and Lionea, massaging her temples in distress, said,

“I know you are young and not very familiar with the Blood Covenant Knights Group, but hasn’t Lady Triss told you?

The internal dealings of the Knights Group with the Dwarf race have always been managed by our Second Lord, Hether Hoffman, who is a Golden Heavy Shielder of the Brass Dwarves herself, and the Blood Covenant Shield Guard she commands is the toughest mobile fortress on the frontline of the Dark Mountain Range.

Such matters really do not need to involve the Lord; he would not personally intervene just for the benefit of one party, as he guards his own reputation as a bird protects its feathers.

Thus, you only need to contact the Second Lord directly.

She is responsible for directly importing Burning Gold supplies from Brass Castle for our daily operations as part of the Knights Group.

If you can persuade her, I believe there wouldn’t be any major issues.”

“Wow, does this Second Lord have such extensive connections among the Dwarves?”

Murphy exclaimed, but then added with confusion,

“But the ‘Hoffman’ surname does not seem to come from a prominent noble family among the Dwarves, at least I have not heard of it.”

“They are indeed not traditional Dwarf nobility; however, the Hoffman Family owns the ‘Emerald Mine,’ which is currently one of the most important Burning Gold mining sites of the Brass Dwarves.

Lady Hether was the former head of the Hoffman Family.

She joined the Knights Group and became a vampire due to a series of accidents during the Fourth Black Disaster, but she is different from the other Lords.

Perhaps it is the obstinate nature of her Dwarf lineage influencing her, allowing her continued connection with her family despite the change in her form of life.

It is precisely because of her connections that the Knights Group has a sufficient reserve of Burning Gold, so the Lord turns a blind eye in this matter.”

Lionea explained,

“Furthermore, Lady Hether also serves as the Quartermaster of the Knights Group.

She is responsible for the logistics and procurement of the Knights Group, and her inherent mercantile savvy and shrewdness from her Brass Dwarf lineage enable her to perform this task very smoothly and perfectly.

Therefore, as long as your offer is right, Lady Hether should have no reason to refuse to help.

The best part is, the forces currently stationed on the fixed defenses along Wasteland Mountain under the Second Lord are easy to contact if you can clear the paths through the Polluted Swamp.”

“Hmm, this is indeed very important information.

Thank you for your reminder, Lionea.”

Murphy nodded contentedly.

This was indeed good news, and Lionea had been very helpful, but the Governor soon realized another issue.

He stroked his chin, asking,

“When I first heard the First Lord, Lord Palano, describing the internal rules of the Knights Group, saying that you must not possess lands, lovers, or power, and must fulfill the Knights Group’s mission throughout your lives, I thought your family was a group of stern monks.

But as I came to know more about you, I gradually realized that my impression of you had a slight deviation.

The indulgence of the Third Lord and the mercantile nature of the Second Lord made me realize that your daily lives are quite interesting, but from Lady Hether Hoffman’s story, I see more of the Lord’s flexible baseline in internal rules…”

“What are you trying to say?”

Lionea, with her arms crossed, said,

“Are you suggesting the Lord is hypocritical?”

“No, no, no, I am pleased to see this, because it means that the Lord might turn a blind eye to some special matters concerning some special people.

As long as he is not a rigid adherent to the rules, it means we can negotiate with the Lord on many issues.”

Murphy shook his head subtly, looking at the Moon Elf Bow Knight with a very delicate gaze.

After a few seconds of silence, he asked,

“So, you have actually fallen for my ‘Monster’ Maxim, haven’t you, Lady Lionea?”

“Please do not say that!”

The Bow Knight, suddenly flustered, immediately rebuked,

“I am a Blood Covenant Knight!

I cannot have a lover, it would make me weak and indecisive, and I would not be able to muster the courage needed in the face of eternal silence!”

“You can keep deceiving yourself…”

Murphy shrugged, saying,

“But the expression and mindset of loving someone can’t deceive anyone.

I admit that your relationship with him may not yet have reached the stage of expressing love, it’s at most a mutual admiration.
