Chapter 942 Returning a Favor
Daxt walked around the Blue Star Federation and gradually visited the middle factions of various dark factions.
As for how to determine whether it is a firm dark faction... joke, just get a list from the Great Xia Empire, what a simple thing.
He can even pretend to say to other dark factions... everything is under the Lord's watch.
Therefore, Dust has made a name for himself in the high-level circle, because of his elusive style, he is called the Shadow Knight.
As a knight who has never appeared on the front line of the battlefield, he can get a title, which shows the shock he brought to these people.
After he walked around and returned to the North Wind Knights again, he found that the size of the Knights had expanded again.
In the space fortress, it is relatively simple to expand the area, just add a space cabin.
But the meaning here is very different.
In this regard, Dust can only say that he is worthy of being a member of the Augusta family.
The Duke's methods are powerful, and he does not object.
Anyway, he can't escape. If he chooses again, he will still go to the Blue Star Federation.
After meeting with Lister and handing over the task, Dust briefly recounted his experience, including He Kai.
Lister gave him a routine compliment, and then told him: "The North Wind Knights are preparing to expand, including the establishment of a Knight Academy. This matter is left to you. Don't let me down."
The Augusta family will play some tricks, but they will never treat meritorious officials unfairly. If you want people to work hard, you can't just rely on pie in the sky.
For example, at this time, even if Dust knew that this was a means, he was still grateful.
A scholar dies for his confidant. It is not easy to meet someone who values you.
At least he and the Jide family behind him are tied to Lister's chariot and can't get off.
Of course, this may not be a bad thing for the Jide family.
It is difficult to break through the ceiling if you force yourself to stay in the aristocratic circle of the Great Xia Empire. Their origin determines that they cannot get along well with the mainstream aristocrats.
So finding another way is also a way out.
After thanking him, Dust left happily.
The North Wind Knights are obviously positioned differently from other knights.
Lister also formed several knight groups, some to protect his safety, some to perform special tasks, and some to conduct regular combat.
But it is obvious that the Knights of the North Wind played more roles.
Including teaching, combat, external publicity, and receiving external knight apprentices.
It can be said that it is multifunctional.
Of course, more tasks are better than being unknown, at least you can enjoy more resources.
Dust’s concurrent post as the dean of the Knight Academy is an example.
The next day, detailed documents from the Duke’s Secretariat were delivered.
The preparations for the Knight Academy have begun, mainly recruiting students from the two newly occupied planetary systems of the Blue Star Federation, aiming to cultivate a new generation of guides... No, it should be a new generation of subjects.
Localized enrollment is part of the integration plan.
All students, after passing the assessment, will be diverted to serve in several knight groups.
Even if they fail the assessment, the extraordinary can join various secondary institutions, which is considered a way out.
In addition to these apprentices, the academy also accepts some special training tasks.
Dust has some understanding of his tasks, but he does not feel repulsive.
In fact, this is a good job.
Starting from the source is a good opportunity for Lister to consolidate the foundation of his rule and for Dust to establish personal connections.
Even a fool knows that the students of the Knight Academy either have a local background or have the talent to break the unspoken rules.
The former represents the local power faction, and the latter represents the future power faction.
As long as Dust does not act crazy and commit suicide, he can easily establish a huge network of people.
Of course, if it were a newcomer, such as Lyon, he might not be able to grasp the degree of it and commit suicide intentionally or unintentionally.
But the Dust family has been aristocrats for generations, and they are old-fashioned tools. They can definitely understand the Duke's intentions.
It's okay to make some connections, which is a reward.
But if you forget the Duke, you will destroy yourself.
When good things come, Dust can still keep calm and return to the Knights to handle normal affairs step by step.
Lyon even ran over to ask and expressed his gratitude.
"By the way, the Duke intends to accept a group of knights like He Kai before, and I'm going to let you do it."
Lyon is a return of favor and a thank you.
But Dust refused. This is not how favors are used.
"No, I have other things to do." Dust briefly explained the task that Lister had given him.
As expected, Leon showed an envious expression.
Of course, Leon would not be jealous, because he had clearly felt that the burden on his shoulders had become heavier recently.
Unlike the appointment of Dust, Lister added burdens to him little by little.
Everyone has a bright future, and there is no need for internal fighting for the time being.
...
Time passed, and the North Wind Knight Academy had begun to recruit students.
The apprentices from the Blue Star Federation also arrived on time.
After Dust's secret wandering, the Blue Star Dark Faction gradually deepened its ties with the Dark Empire, including sending family heirs to the North Wind Knights as apprentices.
These apprentices are not simple protons. They all have certain inheritance rights. Even if they fail in the competition, they will join the family stage as a core member of the family.
It is conceivable that the influence of the Dark Empire will become greater and greater, and it is relatively gentle and reliable.
Of course, the Dark Faction from the Blue Star Federation also brought a request.
As a representative, Li Yifei, who is also the highest-ranking apprentice, got the opportunity to meet Lister.
After completing the ritual of greeting in a procedural manner, Li Yifei chose to directly state his request: "Your Excellency the Duke, we are willing to show our active loyalty. A planetary system that is about to be conquered, we are willing to make it the Lord's pasture, please believe that our loyalty to the Lord will not be inferior at all.
However... we cannot mobilize the fleet on a large scale, otherwise it will be discovered by the cabinet."
Lister was surprised. He didn't expect these guys to really give him a surprise.
And... these consortiums are really damned. They actually hid a planetary system.
If he was the chairman of the Blue Star Federation, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.
But it makes sense if you think about it. Whether it is the Tianma Group or the Maple Leaf Mining Group, the first thing they did after discovering the new galaxy was to make a fortune quietly.
This operation is very consistent with the style of the Blue Star Federation.
In this regard, Lister can only say that he did a good job.
At least now the benefits have fallen on his head.
Of course, these guys definitely want the Dark Empire to be their thugs.
As for direct rule, without a direct interstellar channel, the Dark Empire cannot exercise rule.
But it doesn't matter. Lister doesn't care about these. It's an unexpected gain. A little more or a little less is also earned.
Therefore, without Li Yifei's request, he took the initiative to say: "You have contributed your faith, and I can't do nothing. Let us take over the task of conquering the new galaxy."
