    Baron Dn estimated the time. It was about seven o’clock in the evening. After the banquet tonight, everyone would leave under the cover of night and return to their own estate or the hotels in the Stone Pass.


    Those who could attend the banquet were not important people.


    There was not even a baron of the same rank.


    They were all small merchants, smallndlords, or knights who hadn’t been given their titles yet.


    They also included the management personnel of therge-scale trade caravan stationed here.


    It looked lively, but in fact, the quality of this grand banquet was very poor. If a real noble attended, they would probably think that the appearance of these small figures was disgraceful.


    The noble would not appear at this banquet. No matter who it was, they all chose to remain silent.


    This included Viscount Wayne and Viscount Kevin from the northern county.


    However.


    The people in charge of the trade caravan could also represent some noble.


    During this banquet thatsted for seven days, Kant himself received a lot of respect from the trade caravan’s managers. For example, he received a lot of expensive gifts.


    There was also a special envelope in the gift. There was no signature, and there was no seal to prove his identity.


    What was written on it was also ceremonial nonsense.


    But Kant was satisfied.


    The goodwill expressed in the letter was very obvious. ording to the trade caravan behind these merchants, one could guess which noble expressed their goodwill. It was like a tactfulmunication between noble families. Although it was awkward, it showed the initiative to send a signal.


    There were no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.


    Standing on the high tform.


    Many of the guests were satisfied. Obviously, they were very satisfied with this banquet.


    They had received verbal support from Kant. As long as Kant could carry out his n, it meant that all of them would be able to make a lot of money!


    This was also the result Kant needed.


    Thebination of interests.


    Even if someone tried to swallow Kant.


    But these vested interests, when their own interests were touched, they would definitely stand on Kant’s side and bounce back.


    Or when there was no greater interest that could break the interest Kant gave them, these vested interests would never betray Kant. Even if they betrayed, they would dy for their own interests, thus indirectly alerting Kant.


    It was like a big woven with benefits. Although it was simple, it was extremely useful!


    Moreover, this was not Kant’s benefit.


    The salt mine was ready-made.


    The Stone Pass belonged to Baron Dn.


    Using other people’s benefits to gain benefits for oneself, that was the best.


    For this, Kant nced at Baron Dn, who was not far away. He was sitting obediently in a corner, drinking quietly with the vassal knights who were still loyal to him. The corners of his mouth curled up into a slightly mocking smile.


    This uncle Dn really thought that he had not discovered anything.


    He seemed to have noticed Kant’s gaze.


    Baron Dn looked over.


    “Cheers.”


    Kant raised his wine ss across the crowd, paying his respects in vain.


    However, Baron Dn pretended to be otherwise, as if he did not see it. He lowered his head again and drank quietly. He looked as if he was the wolf king who had beenpletely driven out of the wolf pack. He was howling in a low voice and licking his wounds.


    Or perhaps, he was waiting for something..


    The banquet wasing to an end.


    Many guests were saying goodbye to each other.


    This kind of banquet was not only a good opportunity to get closer to Baron Kant. It was also a good opportunity for everyone to get closer to each other.


    Many merchants and squirendlords were decent people of the same level. Although they could not bepared to a real noble, they could still be considered as people of the same level. They were also living in Stone Pass. It would be beneficial for them to get closer to each other in the future.


    Especially the trade caravan controlled by the noble families, which was the target of these people.


    This was also because of Kant.


    After all, they could not reveal their purpose of cozying up to the noble families too clearly.


    If Kant left, or if it was somewhere else, these small squire andndlord merchants who were originally in the stone pass would directly stick to him. They would shamelessly cling to the legs of the stewards of the trade caravan who represented the noble families!


    Next, if those great noble families were to move into Stone Pass, then Baron Kant would have nothing to do with it.


    It would also be beneficial to cling onto the thighs earlier.


    Kant saw this.


    He was also helpless against these fellows’ moral integrity.


    However, the ridicule at the corner of his mouth was not directed at them. After all, these short-sighted fellows had their future in this ce. They would not pose a threat to Kant’s ns.


    After a moment of silence, Kant left the high tform and asked the knight who was waiting beside him, “Is everything ready?”


    “Yes.”


    The Swadian Knight nodded. “Everything is ready.”


    “Yes.” Kant smiled. What wasing next was the real banquet, the real climax, and the real ending!


    He swept his gaze across the corner.


    Baron Dn was still pretending to brood as he drank his wine.


    However, his eyes shed with a bright light. His expectant look seemed to be anticipating something.


    “Don’t treat everyone as fools.”


    Kant shook his head.


    When Baron Dn wasmunicating directly with the crystal ball, he revealed some kind of spatial fluctuation that had attracted the perception of the Lion Knight of Sarion. Almost at that time, he had officially monitored Baron Dns room.


    Although they did not enter the door and did not know the secret passage that was specially monitored, their ears were very useful.


    The ears of grand knights were naturally very strong.


    Ordinary people could not hear it.


    But they could!


    The Pande continent was a fantasy world. Even if it was already very low in demonization, the power of the extraordinary also had some special enhancements. For example, the Level-6 cavalry that had already reached the peak, these lion knights had such a set of skills.


    After all, they were constantly out in battle. If they did not have good hearing, they would not be able to hear the enemy’s advance and their own orders. That would be bad.


    There were also crucial points.


    On the Pande continent, there were the underworld demons and the Nordo Elves.


    These races still had the knowledge of ancient magic. Of course, they also had knowledge of space-rted magic.


    The underworld demons had broken through space to invade the Pande continent, while the Nordo Elves had opened up a purend space in the forest to iste the humans. They reproduced on their own in an attempt to regain control of the continent.


    Therefore, as the strongest national knights of the Kingdom of Sarion, these lion knights naturally knew some simr knowledge.


    Their enemies were not the other countries.


    They also included the demons of the underworld and the Nordo Elves!


    It was for this reason.


    Even when Baron Dn activated the crystal ball in the dead of night to ensure that the knights guarding outside were not on guard, he still could not escape Kant’s control by arranging with his allies in a very low voice.


    When he activated the crystal ball with his supernatural power, the fluctuation of space was detected as soon as it was released.


    Then, it was monitored.


    In the next six days, every night’s n was easily monitored and even rewritten into documents, which were presented to Kant continuously.


    As for the attack that was about to end at the banquet tonight, it was especially targeted.


    Hundreds of candles lit up the hall.


    There was only a piece of te or leftover food on the long table.


    A messenger, the Swadian Infantry, quickly came to Kant and whispered, “Lord Kant, Sir Firentis asked me to inform you that about 300 cockroaches havee in.”


    “Yes, tell them to continue hiding and wait for orders.”


    Kant gave a new order.


    “Yes.” The infantry quickly turned around and left.


    This was a small episode.


    No one cared. Even if they saw it, they did not think too much about it.


    However, Kant walked forward, pped his hands, and came to the high tform that was built. He smiled and said, “Everyone, the banquetsted for seven days. Perhaps it was not well-treated, but please forgive me.”


    “Merciful Lord Kant, you have served us well!”


    “There is nothing wrong with it. We love your banquet!”


    “This banquet is amazing!”


    The guests and the vassal knights cheered.


    This was not a hypocritical social speech, but a sincere one. After all, to be able toe here for free and enjoy a high-ss banquet like a noble, it was not something that they, who were not even a noble, could enjoy.


    Moreover, there was Kant’s promise to give them a pie in the sky. It was extremely tempting.


    This banquet was really something!


    Even Baron Dn nodded and nced gloomily at the merchants. “That’s right, it’s great.”


    Using the ingredients and supplies stored in his warehouse to hold a noble’s banquet was more than just great. Even Viscount Wayne of Logue Castle, the nominal supreme lord of the entire northern County territory, would not hold such banquets frequently.


    But now, he had invited a group of lowly merchants,ndlords, and country gentry!


    To use his things!


    “Damn it.”


    Baron Dn raised his head and looked at Kant with his gloomy eyes. He cursed in his heart, ‘damn that little bastard!’


    Time was almost up. He swept his gaze across the thick walls around him. ording to the n, his allies from outside the official residence of the Stone Pass had already hidden inside. As long as the time reached 7:30, they would open the secret passage and rush out.


    He would kill his way into the banquet, seize Kant, and gain the initiative!


    He was the mole.


    As a grand knight, Baron Dn had already tied a dagger to his thigh. As long as an ambush appeared in the secret passage to attract everyone’s attention, he would quickly explode his extraordinary power to approach Kant and sessfully seize him.


    This way, even if the other grand knights came to rescue him, they would have to surrender and listen to their arrangements.


    It was a perfect n.


    Baron Dn’s gloomy eyes were filled with pride.


    However, when he saw Kant’s calm face and the few guards around him, he did not know why, but his sixth sense suddenly jolted. He initially wanted to get closer to Kant, but he held back and did not move.


    He was a little puzzled. In the past, Kant, this little brat, had always had a few grand knights guarding him.


    Why did he leave today?


    And Baron Dn was also suspicious.


    The n was too sessful.


    It was so sessful that even he felt that it was simple. Even the strange bottom was really too sessful. There was no surprise at all.


    “Wait.” Baron Dn panted heavily. There was a hint of shock in the depths of his eyes. He suddenly thought of a possibility. The fear that came from the depths of his soul made him pick up the wine cup again and gulp down a mouthful of sweet malt.


    He did not stand up. He simply did not move.


    At this moment.


    “Bang –”
