Chen Mo was only Level 60 right now. He already had trouble dealing with the Level 70 Silver-armored Knights, much less the Level 75 Golden-armored Knights. As for dealing with the Level 80 Holy Knights, it was simply impossible. Most likely, only the Black Phoenix's second form stood a chance. However, the number of times he could use the Black Phoenix was extremely limited.
Kent was right. He couldn't afford to provoke the Holy Empire just yet.
"Why are these people here?" Chen Mo asked Kent.
"Master, if my guess is correct, your territory is too well-built. They're here to extort money. I'm afraid that if you go there, they'll use the excuse that there are fugitives from the Holy Empire in the city to cause trouble for you.
Anyone who discovers a fugitive from the Holy Empire on the Holy Continent has to report it to the Holy Empire immediately. Anyone who harbors a fugitive from the Holy Empire will be severely punished by the Holy Empire.
Master, you have to let them in to search your territory. If you don't, they'll say that you're hiding a fugitive and refuse to let them in. At that time, you'll be in a lot of trouble.
However, letting them in isn't a good thing either. They'll cause trouble in your territory and only leave when you give them money and tell them to stop. "
Kent was very familiar with the Holy Empire's way of doing things. He carefully analyzed the situation for Chen Mo.
"Do they always openly extort money like this?"
Chen Mo's eyes turned cold when he heard this.
"They don't do this everywhere they go. They only do this when they meet city lords who are extremely rich but don't have any background and aren't afraid of causing trouble. So even though the knights of the Holy Empire occasionally do this, no one is willing to meddle in their business." Kent shook his head.
"Alright, I understand. Go contact them and find out how much money they want before they leave. Don't let them enter my territory."
Chen Mo nodded and said to Kent.
A wise man knew better than to fight when the odds were against him. Going against the Silver-armored Knights wouldn't do him any good. It would only make things more troublesome.
The Knights of the Holy Empire absolutely could not enter Katrin's territory. Once they entered, they would definitely request to investigate the Sky Tree. They might not recognize the Sky Tree, but someone in the Holy Empire might. If news of this spread, he would really be in trouble.
Chen Mo did not mind if he could solve the problem with gold coins. He would leave the money with the Divine for safekeeping. Sooner or later, he would get it back in double!
"Master, if there are no accidents, I think we'll need at least 5000 gold coins to send them away."
Kent replied cautiously. 5000 gold coins was not a small sum.
Five thousand gold coins, it was easy for these fellows to earn money!
Chen Mo sneered inwardly, but he didn't say anything. He just took out 5,000 gold coins and had Kent bring it over.
The Silver Armored Knights were here for money. Kent brought the gold coins out and negotiated with them. After handing over the money, the Silver Armored Knights left.
They had come here for the money. Being able to get the money was better than anything else.
As for extorting money after taking it, the Silver Armored Knights had no intention of doing so.
First of all, it was like a bottomless pit that would attract resistance. After all, the people they were extorting were all people of status. It would not do them any good if things got out of hand.
Second of all, if they went to other people in the future, they wouldn't obediently give them money. They would be doing themselves a disservice.
Of course, they didn't know that they had extorted the wrong person. Although they had the money now, they would have to repay it with interest several times over in the future.
There were only a few super empires like the Holy Empire on the Holy Continent. The matter of the Gray Wing Kingdom wouldn't be over in a short time. Chen Mo couldn't stay in Katrin's territory and wait for things to end.
After thinking about it, Chen Mo had an idea.
After equipping the Archpriest's Necklace, Chen Mo could enter into a follower contract. Chen Mo decided to enter into a follower contract with Big Fat.
This way, he would be able to summon Big Fat to his side at any time and use Telepathy to find out the situation in Katrin's territory. Then, Big Fat would use Teleport to teleport back to Katrin's territory.
Originally, Chen Mo was still thinking about whether to contract with You Ji or Big Fat.
Under the circumstances, there was no doubt that it would be better to contract with Big Fat.
However, Chen Mo predicted that even without the current situation, he would still enter into a follower contract with Big Fat.
In terms of combat power, Big Fat was still stronger. When he needed to summon a follower for help, it would mean that the surroundings were extremely dangerous.
If he summoned You Ji, You Ji would be in danger. Big Fat's life-saving ability was something that few people in the game could compare to. In addition to its powerful attributes, as long as it wanted to escape, almost no one could kill it.
The signing of a follower contract was not complicated. After Chen Mo used the Archpriest's Follower Contract Ceremony, a blue light enveloped Chen Mo and Big Fat.
System Notification: You and "Mutated Slime King" have entered into a follower contract ceremony. Mutated Slime King has become your follower!
System Notification: The strength of the follower affects the number of times the follower can be summoned per day. Mutated Slime King's ability is too strong. It can only be summoned once per day!
The follower contract was established. Chen Mo successfully entered into a follower contract with Big Fat.
The system notification appeared. Chen Mo glanced at it and saw the limit of the number of times he could summon.
"Once per day … That's enough."
Chen Mo nodded. He could only summon Big Fat once per day. If it were not for Catrin, he could not even summon it once per day.
After entering into a contract with Big Fat, Chen Mo called for Enoch and Fattila. He told the two of them to be careful. If someone came to blackmail them again, the two of them would act accordingly.
If they could not defeat them, they would just accept it and let them blackmail them. As for other things, there was no need to be courteous with them.
Enoch and Fattila nodded. Chen Mo made some more preparations and left Catrin's territory alone.
The Central Sacred Continent was in the middle of the four continents: North, South, East, and West.
To travel from the South Sacred Continent to the Central Sacred Continent, one would normally have to set off from the coastal cities of the South Sacred Continent and take a ship for half a day to reach the Central Sacred Continent.
If one was unlucky, one might even encounter pirates from the Sacred Continent.
However, Chen Mo had the Black Phoenix. The Black Phoenix's speed was much faster than a ship. It would only take a few hours to fly over on the Black Phoenix.
However, before that, Chen Mo still had to spend a few hours to reach the coast in the north of the South Sacred Continent.
There were three or four small kingdoms in the north of the Aiqin Kingdom. Chen Mo passed by these kingdoms and spent more than a day.
This was considered fast. If it were someone else, it would take at least two days.
Then, on the second night, Chen Mo arrived at the coast in the north of the continent.
Taking advantage of the night, Chen Mo called out the Black Phoenix. He sat on the Black Phoenix and flew towards the Central Sacred Continent.
Even on the Sacred Continent, the Black Phoenix was still a rare existence. Chen Mo felt that it was better to be careful.
The Black Phoenix flew over the boundless sea for nearly six hours. When it was almost exhausted, it finally flew to the Stone Man Kingdom in the Central Sacred Continent.
The Stone Man Kingdom was a seaside kingdom that was much larger than the Aiqin Kingdom. A seaside kingdom in the Central Sacred Continent was different from the Aiqin Continent. The Central Sacred Continent was the center of the other continents. No matter which seaside kingdom it was, there would be a large number of ships coming and going. Naturally, the kingdom's economy would rise. It would be difficult for the kingdom not to develop.
The Asura Kingdom that Chen Mo wanted to go to was not a seaside city. The Asura Kingdom and the Stone Man Kingdom were two kingdoms apart.
With the difference of two kingdoms, even if Chen Mo had the Black Phoenix, it still took him nearly two days to reach the Asura Kingdom.
During the few days that he was in the Asura Kingdom, Chen Mo summoned the Big Fatty every day to ask about Catelyn.
After he left, Catelyn did indeed encounter some trouble. After all, the Aiqin Kingdom was very chaotic right now. There were always people who wanted to take advantage of the situation.
However, it was not so easy to take advantage of Catelyn. If one didn't have a background like the Holy Empire, they would only become the target of a lesson.
As for attacking the Aiqin Kingdom because of a failed extortion, it naturally wasn't something that these small fries could do. So, Chen Mo wasn't worried at all.
Along the way, Chen Mo saw several kingdoms. Different kingdoms had different cultures and customs.
For example, the Aiqin Kingdom was a backward kingdom. Under the corrupt rule of the royal family, the entire kingdom emitted an oppressive atmosphere.
As for the Stone Man Kingdom, it was a seaside kingdom full of economic vitality. Every NPC there was like a businessman, eloquent and eloquent.
After arriving at the Asura Kingdom, the scene was completely different.
The Kings of the Asura Kingdom were all dressed like warriors. This kingdom revered martial arts and gathered NPCs of all professions.
Along the way, Chen Mo heard many things about the Asura Kingdom.
The Asura Kingdom was only a kingdom, and its territory was only slightly larger than the Aiqin Kingdom.
However, it was said that in the entire Holy Continent, no one dared to mess around with the Asura Kingdom. Even the Holy Empire was the same.
This wasn't just because the Asura Kingdom had the Ability Battle Tower. Most importantly, every citizen of the Asura Kingdom was a warrior. When they fought, every citizen of the Asura Kingdom possessed powerful combat strength.
Under such circumstances, no one dared to provoke the Asura Kingdom. Aside from the Ability Battle Tower, no one dared to set their eyes on the Asura Kingdom.
"Stop her!
She can't escape! "
Not long after entering the Asura Kingdom, Chen Mo arrived at a grassland. This grassland was located at the edge of the Asura Kingdom.
