"Alina, long time no see." A soft voice sounded in the place.
In front of Adil and the others, a tall, mature woman was walking towards Alina and the others.
She was wearing a pure white robe, a high crown on her head, a delicate and beautiful face with a soft smile, and her posture was elegant as she slowly walked towards Alina.
"Sister Loris."
Looking at the mature woman in front of her, Alina also showed a faint smile on her face: "Long time no see."
"It's been a long time indeed." In front of her, Loris nodded slightly, with some scrutiny in her eyes: "We haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and it feels really different."
"How does it feel to be away from Katutan City for the past six months?"
"Fortunately, at least I can still stand here and talk to Sister Loris." Alina said lightly with the smile on her face unchanged.
"You." Loris shook her head, and then said: "Let's go, brother Angele is already waiting inside."
After saying this, she slowly walked towards the palace with Alina in front of her.
The palace in front of me occupies a large area, and there are often knights and soldiers patrolling around it. Occasionally, they look at Alina and Lolis, but they don't have many expressions, and they don't even salute.
This situation made some knights beside Alina frown, but in this situation, it was hard to say anything.
After a while, they walked to the door of a building, where several people were standing.
"Welcome Princess Alina and Princess Loris to visit." A voice sounded in front of the palace.
It was an old man, wearing a black fitted dress. He looked very majestic. When he saw Alina and others walking out, he led others to greet him.
"His Royal Highness Angele is already waiting inside." He looked at Alina and the others in front of him and said politely.
"Lead the way." Alina nodded, her expression returning to its usual indifference.
The old man in front of him said nothing, but always had a polite smile on his face, and walked forward with Alina and others behind him.
Arriving at a hall, a burst of melodious music came from inside, along with the smell of flowers and perfume.
Bang bang bang...
A burst of applause came from the hall, accompanied by the figure of a handsome man.
"Long time no see, Loris, and Alina."
In the hall, a handsome young man walked out, wearing a black coat.
He looks gentle, handsome, and has a graceful and elegant temperament.
This is the fifth prince of the Malan Empire and Alina's half-brother. He has a high reputation among the nobles of the empire.
In front of Adier's eyes, Angele's body data appeared instantly.
"Another character who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger." Looking at these data, Adier thought silently in his heart.
In the Malan Empire, when he decided to defect to Alina Mo, he also conducted an investigation on several princesses and princes of the Malan royal family, among which Prince Angele, who was known as the most famous, was the most important.
Heavy.
From the information he investigated, it was said that Prince Angel's strength was only at the peak of the Great Knight, and had not yet reached the level of the Sky Knight.
But now it seems that this prince has been promoted to the Knight of the Sky for a long time, and his true strength has reached the level of a titled knight, which is still above Alina.
Relatively speaking, among the three royal members present, even Loris, who has the lowest relative strength, has reached the peak of a great knight in terms of strength, and can be regarded as having outstanding talents.
Without having time to think too much, after a while, the banquet officially began.
During this process, Adil behaved very low-key, following Alina throughout the whole process, and finally sat down silently aside.
He was not sitting alone. Beside him, there were other knights brought by Alina. They were all surrounding him at this time, with him as the leader.
Not far away, the knights under Loris and Angele were also sitting down. The three groups were clearly distinct, and the differences could be seen at a glance.
Sitting on a chair covered with silk, Adil looked at the two groups of people in the distance.
Among them, the knights under Loris were headed by a middle-aged knight, who looked a bit vicissitudes of life and old. After noticing Adier's gaze, he smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand towards Adier.
Dier raised his hand.
As for the knights under Angele, they were headed by a young knight.
He was a young man wearing a black robe. He looked quite handsome and young, and his demeanor looked a bit arrogant.
Sitting on a wooden chair, the physical data of the two people in the distance all appeared in front of his eyes, and they were observed by Adil.
The strength of these two people is very good. As subordinates that the other two princes and princesses rely on, their strength has reached the level of the Knights of the Sky.
But relatively speaking, the middle-aged knight is stronger, but due to his age, he may not be as strong as the young knight in terms of physical strength.
As he ate his meal in silence and looked at the data of the two of them, Adil thought to himself.
The banquet ended quickly. In this place, the knights from the three parties were relatively restrained and nothing unpleasant happened.
After the banquet, Alina walked out of the hall and walked away with Adil and others.
"How does it feel?"
While riding on the road, looking at Adil, Alina suddenly spoke.
"Huh?" Adil turned around in confusion, as if he didn't understand what she meant.
"The two knights just now will also participate in the competition in the future, and they can be regarded as your potential opponents." Looking at Adil, Alina casually said: "How do you think? Are you confident?"
"I'm a little sure." Adil nodded lightly as he rode on the road: "In terms of strength alone, if nothing else happens, these two will not be my opponents."
Although his tone was calm, there was a sense of firmness and confidence in his words, which made Alina beside her couldn't help but nod her head: "It's good to have confidence."
"Right." As if she remembered something, she raised her hand and added: "In this competition, try not to reveal that you have condensed the wings of fighting spirit."
"With the strength of the Sky Knight, it would be best if you can get first place, but if you can't get it, it doesn't matter."
"Yes." Adil bowed his head and said yes respectfully.
A few days passed by in a flash.
With the anticipation of countless knights, this time the canonization ceremony finally officially began.
The scene where the competition was held was in a huge Colosseum outside the palace, where competitions between gladiators were often held, and the scene was huge enough.
Any knight who signs up to participate in the competition must first enter the Colosseum, defeat some monsters as a gladiator, and even become an institutional gladiator slave before he can obtain further qualifications.
In a sense, this can be regarded as a screening mechanism. After all, the canonization ceremony held every five years has tens of thousands of participants from various countries, and a considerable number of them are not even knights. Naturally,
Don't waste too much time.
This screening mechanism can screen out the real elites, making subsequent competitions more intense and interesting.
bump!
A long sword flew across the sky quickly, creating a long silver sword energy in the air.
Standing in the center of a field, Adil put away his sword and turned around to look in several other directions without looking at the slave gladiator lying on the ground in front of him.
On several other grounds, similar confrontations were still going on, and one of them was an acquaintance of Adil.
That was the young knight under Prince Angele. At this time, like Adil, he was facing a dozen well-trained gladiator slaves alone.
However, compared to Adil, his methods are much more ruthless. Even when facing a group of ordinary people, he will always kill him. Every time he strikes with a sword, he will cut down a slave and turn the place into a bloody mess.
.
This approach was undoubtedly more bloody, but it also made some of the surrounding spectators feel excited, cheering and shouting the knight's name.
"Gakdo!! Kill those slaves!!"
"Haha, good job!!"
Waves of cheers came from all directions.
Listening to the shouts of these spectators, Adil shook his head slightly, put away his sword and left from the exit.
When he reached the exit, his steps paused and he felt a figure appear beside him.
At another entrance nearby, a young man stood out, wearing a clean gray robe.
He had a long sword on his waist and was wearing gray clothes. He didn't look outstanding, but his eyes were very bright. At this time, his eyes were fixed on Adil.
The eyes of the two people intersected for an instant, and then separated.
After glancing at Adier, the young man withdrew his gaze. After nodding lightly, he walked out, his steps looking very steady.
"The prince of Gounod doesn't look like a simple person."
Looking at the young man's back, this thought flashed through Adil's mind.
The young man in front of him is a prince from Gouno, named Henus.
As a prince of the Cournot Empire, this prince not only signed up for this canonization ceremony, but also personally fought against gladiator slaves to prove his strength.
"The peak of the Great Knight, considering his age, is pretty good."
Looking at Prince Gouno in the distance, Adier thought silently in his heart, and then continued walking forward.
After a while, he walked to the end of the entrance and came to the outside world.
There, Alina was standing there with Anum and others. After seeing him come out, a smile appeared on her face.
