Count Aulis Castle is located on the upper reaches of the Sangheili River. It is on a high ground and surrounded by rivers. It has an excellent location.

The thick stone walls bring a sense of security to the castle, and the mottled marks highlight the sense of time.

A stone-paved road continues from the castle gate to the city below.

The city's economy, blessed by the earl, is highly developed. A large number of merchants are doing business here, and the tax money they get from them is a large amount every month.

The wide streets were covered with filth, and large numbers of pedestrians walked on them.

A man wearing tattered linen clothes, with an unkempt beard and hair covering his face was leaning against the wall, still shouting for wine.

People passing by heard the sound and looked over. When they saw it was a homeless man, they complained a few words and left.

A wanderer is not worth their time, after all, there are many such people in the city.

After a while, the man stood up staggeringly, walked crookedly on the road, and bumped into a passerby walking in the opposite direction.

The man fell to the ground, and passers-by cursed him.

"You lowly thing, are you blind? You are really looking for death."

The passerby directly pulled the man's hair, but the man had no intention of struggling and was still talking about drinking.

Just when passers-by wanted to give him a kick, the sound of horse hooves sounded.

"Get away!"

There was a sharp crack in the air, followed by the whip being thrown hard on the passerby, directly splitting his skin and flesh.

When passers-by looked up and saw each other, their expressions changed drastically. They immediately knelt down and kept shouting: "Sir, please forgive me for being rude."

"snort!"

On top of the horse is a man wearing aristocratic clothing, holding a whip in his hand and a long sword at his waist. He has a look of disdain on his face and says, "Get away as far as you want!"

The passerby immediately rolled up and rolled five or six meters away before standing up and running away.

The man riding on the tall horse looked down at the man lying on the ground, with a mocking tone, "I really didn't expect that the famous Knight Matthew would come here. I heard that you are extremely lonely, and seeing you today, you are really

in this way."

"Someone, take him to the castle."

The knight behind stepped forward and lifted the man up.

The group of people came and left just as quickly. After they left, everyone else was talking about it.

"Why did Master Wright come here suddenly and take that man away? Who is he?"

"I don't know. This man must have been here for a while. He was begging for a drink in a tavern before. He didn't even have a copper coin. How could anyone give him a drink?"

"I've also seen him find a place to lie down and fall asleep at night."

"Why did I hear Master Wright saying that he was Knight Matthew? Have you heard of it?"

"Matthew, there are many people with the same name, and we don't even know his last name."

"Down and out, knight, could he be the knight Matthew Holman known as the Red Lotus Fire?"

"What, is it true? Didn't he die under a curse?"

"I don't know, don't talk about it. I don't know what happened to the young masters who left. When will we get a fiefdom?"

"Don't think about it, you are just a free citizen, not a noble."

"Can't have a dream anymore."

In the castle, Wright, the fifth son of the earl, was looking at Knight Matthew lying on the ground. He threw the wine in his hand over.

The bottle broke and the wine spilled on the floor. After hesitating for a moment, the man took the broken pieces and poured the wine inside into his mouth.

Wright couldn't help but shake his head, "It's really useless. I pretended to be a knight and even abandoned my basic dignity."

His tone was full of disgust. In his opinion, even a lonely knight was still a knight and would never do such a thing that would cost him his face.

No wonder the knights looked down upon this man and no nobles took him in.

"The Red Lotus Fire has become a joke now." Wright sighed.

In the past, this knight who broke through to become a high-level knight at a young age and had the potential to become an earth knight mastered the power of fire and defeated countless knights who challenged him. Hundreds of monsters died under his sword.

He was extremely arrogant, and because of some minor conflicts, he refused to be appointed a nobleman and threatened that he would never become a nobleman.

No one understood that becoming a noble was the dream of countless people, but he refused. After all, even the knights of the earth had to obey the orders of the nobles. Is this what he, a high-ranking knight, could do?

When he was at the height of his popularity, some nobles still extended olive branches to him. If such a knight with great potential could do things for them, it would bring great convenience.

But unexpectedly, he was actually cursed, his eyes were having problems, his vision was becoming increasingly blurry, and even his own life seeds were constantly withering, and he could no longer break through the Earth Knight.

After hearing about it, the knights who were at odds with him went to look for him and fight with him, and were surprised to find that this was indeed the case.

Since then, the Red Lotus Fire has disappeared, replaced by a wanderer who has completely lost his dignity.

After Wright heard that he had come here, he was particularly surprised, but he didn't care. A recent incident made him think a lot.

The old immortal suddenly woke up for some unknown reason, asked about his children, and made some arrangements.

This caught them off guard, but fortunately they were confused again, giving them some time to prepare.

"Lynn, you didn't deal with me when we were in the castle. I deliberately assigned you to Ashes Town last time. You probably don't have much food by now. The old guy is thinking about you and even arranged for knights to bring things there.

, but he didn’t say which knight he wanted to bring, this is a great gift from me to you.”

Wright looked down at Matthew, "A knight without dignity only knows how to drink. He can't even fight. Not only can he not protect you, but he will also consume your food. I want to see how long you can hold on, of course."

, it would be better to die in Ashes Town."

He murmured, "I don't know what other people are like. I think it's not a good life to live in a backward territory."

"Ah sneeze!"

Linn sneezed, rubbed his nose, and thought to himself, what the fuck was scolding him.

Looking at the spices drying in front of him, he felt quite good. Just like Karis said, this is money everywhere.

However, there was still the same problem. It was not an easy thing to sell. He was thinking that if it didn't work out, he would wait until the first task was completed and get the life seeds, and then he would personally carry the spices to the town to sell them.

"Master, Master!" Karis ran in from outside with a panic look on his face, "Oh no, something happened."
