The sound of gentle stepping on the ground kept ringing in place.
On a meadow, a group of people were riding horses and walking forward.
This is a very long team, with both girls and guards in the team, numbering dozens of people.
In the center of these people, Alina was riding a white horse alone, looking at the distant scenery with a calm face.
There, a manor was standing. The door of the manor was open at this time, and some people were standing there waiting.
Several tall knights walked out of it. The first one looked very young and handsome. He was wearing a decent black shirt and was very eye-catching.
He looked at Alina walking from a distance, with a decent smile on his face: "Welcome, Princess Alina."
"I am Herot, son of Count Aulis." He bowed and saluted, and his etiquette was impeccable.
"Where is Count Oris?" A loud voice sounded at this time.
Next to Alina, Anum was dressed in bronze armor and riding a black horse forward. Wisps of crimson fighting spirit emerged from his body, accompanied by a unique aura.
After Adier's previous treatment, the Sky Knight's residual limbs have been reattached. Although his strength is not yet fully utilized because he has not yet fully adapted, he can still fight face to face with the Sky Knight.
He just looked at Helot like this, his face looking a little unkind.
Alina is a princess after all, and she belongs to the top group of people in this country in terms of status.
Although Count Oris is a veteran nobleman with considerable strength, he did not personally greet the princess and only let his eldest son come out.
This kind of behavior is very disrespectful in Anum's view, and he will naturally not look good on the other party at this time.
Just facing his shouts and the oppression of the fighting spirit that was faintly conveyed from the other party, Hailot's expression remained unchanged, and he just said apologetically: "Unfortunately, during the front-end time, my father was injured due to some things, and some actions
It is difficult to welcome the princess in person, so I can only do it for you."
"What kind of situation would lead to a titled knight being injured and not even being able to go out to greet him?"
Regarding what the other party said, Anum said in a bad tone, staring at Helot in front of him.
"Forget it." At this time, Alina's cold voice sounded from the side.
Looking at the two Anums in front of her, she waved her hands with an expressionless expression on her face: "Count Oris is the elder after all. Since he is injured now, according to the rules, I should take the initiative to pay him respects."
As she spoke, she turned to look at Herot who was standing aside: "Lead the way."
"Yes." Seeing Alina say this, Herot couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and walked towards the manor.
Following Alina and looking at Herot's back, Adil looked calm.
"Name: Helot. Strength: 6.7. Agility: 7.2. Constitution: 6.5. Mental strength: 1.8. Status: good." In front of him, a familiar attribute panel appeared.
"A great knight. Judging from his age, he's pretty good."
Looking at this data, Adil commented silently, and then stopped paying attention to the other party and turned to his surroundings.
Relying on his powerful induction, Adil clearly felt a deep chill when he stepped into the manor. It seemed that there were several pairs of eyes watching him from around the manor.
"The five great knights and the two sky knights are all masters of hiding and have practiced the corresponding breathing methods." On the other side, in Alina's mind, the soft voice also sounded, lurking all around.
The number of knights told her.
"Only these?" Listening to this number, Alina was a little confused: "Count Oris is a veteran noble in the military, plus the Turing Cult, and my eldest brother, this is the only strength of his men?"
"This should just be the power of the opponent's men." The soft voice continued: "The Turing Cult is a cult, and the eldest prince is your brother. If these two forces want to deal with you, neither side can see the light, otherwise
It will have major consequences."
"If it is out of caution, the power of the Great Prince and the Turing Cult may still be lurking now."
The voice continued: "Even if the other party discovers something, it is possible even if they don't take action here."
"After all, the other party's taking action here is only a possibility and cannot be confirmed."
"Yes." Listening to the analysis of the voice in her mind, Alina nodded silently: "But if something really goes wrong, will the knights I brought this time be enough to deal with it?"
This is not an unnecessary worry.
Neither the Turing Cult nor the eldest prince are easy to deal with, and the power their men can bring out is terrifying.
And this time, in order to create the illusion of being defenseless, she only brought two Sky Knights, Anum and Adil, with her, and the Grand Knight only brought five people with her. Once she conflicts with the other party, she will have no advantage at all.
"It doesn't matter." The voice continued: "As long as there are no knights at the level of the Glory Knight to take action, I can settle the situation for you. Even if things go wrong, I can take you to escape."
"That's no problem." After hearing this, Alina finally nodded, and her originally tense heart relaxed a little.
The Glory Knight, an existence of this level, can already be said to be a country-level existence.
As one of the four most powerful countries at the time, the Malan Empire had no more than ten glorious knights in the country. Each one had a legendary story and a prominent identity.
The biggest reason why the eldest prince Solar has such a great advantage, in addition to his military support, is that he himself is a glorious knight.
With the support of the military and being a glorious knight himself, if this generation of King Malan was not still very young and could still rule for a long time, the successor of this generation would have been determined long ago.
The terrifying strength of a glorious knight is enough to destroy a small country by one person. His high status and honors are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
It is precisely because of this that Alina is sure that there will be no shining knight this time.
Each of the strong men at the level of the Radiant Knight has a mission, and every move is watched by countless people. It is unlikely that they will take the risk to attack a princess with a sensitive identity.
On the road, the crisp sound of horse hooves continued to sound.
After a while, they walked to a hall. Inside, a middle-aged man wearing a black robe was sitting there with long white hair. His eyes were closed at this time, and he seemed to be concentrating.
It wasn't until Alina walked to the door that he opened his eyes, with a polite smile on his face: "Princess Alina, long time no see."
"Long time no see, Lord Oris." Looking at the middle-aged man in front of her, Alina looked very polite and saluted.
However, despite saying this, her face was still cold and she had no respect for the person in front of her at all.
Oris didn't care about this either.
He was dressed in black robes, with long white hair hanging down. Although his face looked well-kept, it was already showing signs of fatigue, and he looked quite old.
"Who is this?"
Standing there, he keenly saw Adier standing behind Alina, and couldn't help but ask.
The people who can accompany Alina into this hall at this time are naturally the other party's trusted confidants, and there are only four people in total.
He knew all the other three people. The only one he needed to pay attention to was Anum. He had never seen Adil before.
"This is my new knight." After listening to Oris's words, Alina turned to look at Adier and introduced to Oris: "He is also a knight student of Malan Academy."
"Hello, I'm Adier." At this time, Adier also took the initiative to speak out, with a polite smile on his face, coupled with his exquisite appearance, it was very impressive.
However, Oris didn't say anything when Adil introduced himself. He just stared at Adil quietly without speaking.
Time seemed to stand still, until the next moment, a shining sword light quickly passed through the air.
Wow!!
A ray of sword light flashed through the air, and the light black life energy condensed on a long sword, and finally slashed forward fiercely.
Under the disbelieving gazes of Alina and others, Oris took action boldly, and quickly slashed down with a long sword, creating a terrifying sword light.
"You!!" At this moment, Alina showed an expression of shock and anger on her face. She just looked at the sword light in front of her and it was too late to take action.
bump!!
The sound of the collision of gold and iron sounded at this moment, and the two kinds of fighting spirit contained in it collided with each other and exploded at this moment.
The wooden table in front of him shattered on the spot, swept away by the aftermath of the grudge, and was crushed to pieces on the spot.
Only then did Alina and the others clearly see the situation at the place.
At the critical moment just now, Adil drew his sword directly and blocked the opponent's blow at that moment without wavering.
He looked at Oris in front of him. There was no expression on his face, but there was powerful life energy rising on his body, faintly condensed into an armor of fighting spirit.
"Sir Oris, what are you doing?"
Looking at the scene in front of her, Alina's face turned cold and she looked at Oris and said.
Behind her, Anum and others were also looking at each other, their expressions looking very unkind.
As knights, they all clearly understood the blow that Count Oris had just dealt.
The blow was so sudden, with the opponent's titled knight's strength suddenly erupting, that even Alina and Anum didn't have time to react.
If Adier had not blocked that blow in the end, perhaps a Sky Knight would have simply died like this, and his death would have been worthless.
Just thinking about that possibility, Alina was filled with fear.
Sky Knights are not a big deal. On the contrary, as beings on the same level as official wizards, Sky Knights are also very rare in this world, enough to support a powerful family.
As the seventh princess, Alina has the support of her mother's clan, but so far, she has no more than five Sky Knights. Each of them was recruited through hard work, and it would be difficult to bear the loss of one.
Not to mention, Adil is still very young and is suspected to be a top royal descendant, and may even be promoted to a glorious knight in the future.
If this kind of knight genius with great potential is lost here, just think about it, it will be a huge loss.
"Princess Alina, don't be nervous."
Standing in front of him, facing Princess Alina's shouts and questions, Oris looked very calm, and even had a faint smile on his face: "Sorry, my old habit on the battlefield has happened again. I saw a stranger coming. , I can’t help but want to try it.”
"The armor of fighting spirit has been condensed, and he is also a knight of the sky."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Adil with the same smile on his face: "You are very good at being able to block my sword."
"It's just a little bit of strength, it's nothing." In front of him, Adier's face was calm, and he didn't seem to care about what he was doing at all: "I just don't know, if I couldn't take your sword just now, the final result would be how?"
"Please believe in the ability of an old knight to hold a sword." Oris smiled: "My sword is held very steadily. If you had not reacted at that time, this sword would not have continued to strike. At most, it would have only frightened you. It’s just you.”
"Really?" Adier just smiled and said nothing more.
But in his heart, he sentenced Oris to death.
At that moment, he could feel that the other person's heart was filled with murderous intent.
This is definitely not a temptation, but a real attempt to kill Adil without mercy.
If Adir hadn't been an ordinary Sky Knight, he would have fallen to the opponent's sword by now.
After all, the opponent's strength is not simple. As a titled knight, the opponent's strength is undoubtedly at the pinnacle of the Sky Knights, otherwise it would be impossible to obtain this title.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but on the surface, Adil's expression did not change at all. He still had that polite smile, as if he had not taken the previous matter to heart.
On the other hand, Alina, Anum and others looked at Oris's face and became more and more unkind. If they still had a little restraint in their hearts, a conflict might have occurred at this time.
"Suddenly I remembered that I still have something important to deal with."
At this time, Oris suddenly stood up and looked at Alina apologetically: "Princess Alina, I'll excuse you for a moment."
"Speaking of which, Hailot is also a student of Malan College and your senior, so we can take this opportunity to communicate for a while."
He looked at the people in front of him and said seriously, and then walked out the door.
Standing there, looking at Oris's back, Anum looked at Alina in front of him: "Princess, I also want to go out for some air."
"Okay, come back soon." Alina nodded directly.
After listening to Alina's words, Anum and Adil looked at each other with a tacit understanding, and then walked directly outside.
"How is it? Has that knight's strength been tested?"
