"Investigation?"
Headmaster Jackson stood in front of Fang Xingjian, looked at the two investigators, and said, "I remember that when I reported to the association, it was said that the First Prince had attacked an official Knight of our academy, right? Why are you investigating Fang Xingjian? "
"The reason why I'm here has nothing to do with the First Prince." The black-robed man pulled back his black cloak, revealing an extremely pale face with deeply sunken eye sockets.
The Knight Association's investigators could be said to be an existence that would cause all the Knights in the country to turn pale at the mention of their names. Ordinary officials were unable to manage Knights at all. Only these investigators had the authority to investigate, interrogate, and even attack them.
It was also because they did not have many people, but they had great authority. Almost every investigation they conducted was a major operation, and every Knight who was brought in for investigation would be half dead. This made their reputation even more terrifying among the many Knights.
"We've received a report that Fang Xingjian has colluded with the enemy and is suspected of committing treason." The level 1 investigator by the name of Charlie smiled and said, "Based on our investigations, we've discovered that his origins are unknown. There is no news of him in the official records from one year ago."
"So..." Charlie shrugged, "Aren't we just here to investigate?"
"Charlie, you're the newest batch of Conferred Knights in the Great Western Region, right?" the Headmaster asked. The Great Western Zhou was the region where Kirst was located. The entire Empire was divided into eight regions, and in every Regional Selection, ten people would be chosen from each of the regions.
Conferred Knights were extremely strong experts who had gone through the second transition after the Regional Selection and had broken through certain limits. Just like the Headmaster, Huang Lin, the First Prince, and the others.
Experts at this stage were extremely powerful and were far from what ordinary Knights could compare to. Even among Conferred Knights of the same level, the difference in their abilities would be like the difference between heaven and earth. It could be said that this was the level where the difference in abilities was the greatest.
The Headmaster's words were filled with coldness. "You've just become a Conferred Knight and have even gotten the chance to enter the association. You don't have any relatives or friends in the Imperial Capital, so you want to look for a backer. I can understand this very well, but are you sure that the backer you've found will be able to protect you by taking the lead?"
Charlie narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh? Senior, I really don't understand what you're saying. In any case, we feel that there's something wrong with Fang Xingjian, and now we want to investigate him. Are you going to use force to fight against the Royal Knight Association? "
Fang Xingjian was just about to step out when he was stopped by Jackson. Jackson said softly in his ear, "Don't act recklessly. Regardless of right or wrong, once you use force, you'll be going against the entire association. Trust me, at least in the academy, they won't dare to act recklessly. Just bear with it for now. I'll find some old friends and we'll settle this quickly. "
Fang Xingjian didn't answer. He just stared deeply at Charlie in front of him.
On the other side, Charlie laughed and said, "Are you done? Then please come with me. According to the investigation procedures, I have found an office in the academy. Let's start there. "
Fang Xingjian let out a cold snort and followed Charlie. The Headmaster frowned, "George (First Prince), is this your revenge?"
At the same time, the air next to Fang Xingjian's ears trembled slightly. It was the Headmaster using his Reduced Force Field to tremble the air and transmit his voice.
"Bear with it. Remember, don't say anything, and don't admit to anything."
The three of them entered a small and narrow office. There was a table and three chairs, and there was only a palm-sized window that led to the outside. It was a standard little black room.
Outside the little black room, there were over ten staff members whom Charlie had brought with him. Among them, only three were Knights, while the others were in charge of assisting in the investigation. They might not be strong, but their interrogation and investigation abilities were top notch.
"Take a seat." Charlie smiled. "We have a lot of time to talk."
Fang Xingjian threw him an indifferent glance and sat down. The two agents sat opposite him.
Charlie smiled and looked at Fang Xingjian, while his assistant took out a pen and paper, preparing to take notes.
"Alright, let's first talk about who you are. Where are you from, what country, and what race are you from? "
Fang Xingjian only closed his eyes and started to meditate on his sword arts.
However, his attitude clearly made the two agents extremely displeased. Charlie's brows twitched and said, "Haha, I'd advise you to cooperate. Otherwise, it won't be as simple as just having a conversation."
Fang Xingjian remained expressionless and continued to ignore them.
Charlie's countenance sank. Usually, with his status as a Conferred Knight and a level one agent in the association, many Knights would tremble in fear before him. Even Conferred Knights would be polite to him, a junior. When had he ever been treated so rudely by someone who had just become a Knight?
Although Fang Xingjian was a genius, a sixteen-year-old Windstorm Sword Hero, as a Conferred Knight, Charlie was confident that he would be able to defeat Fang Xingjian with just one hand. They were on two completely different levels.
He asked with a sunken face, "Fang Xingjian, you'd better answer our questions honestly. We won't let a bad person off, nor will we blame a good person wrongly.
"But if you continue to refuse to cooperate, we won't be able to help you either.
"The Knight Association represents all the Knights in the entire Empire. Even Divine level experts have the obligation to cooperate, let alone a mere first transition Knight like you. "Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you've transitioned into a Windstorm Sword Hero. The Empire follows rules and respects.
"We'd rather lose ten geniuses with Divine level potential than have one more Divine level enemy.
"Do you understand?"
Fang Xingjian opened his eyes. Just as Charlie thought that the other party was going to give in, Fang Xingjian coldly spat out four words, "No comment."
Charlie laughed coldly, "Fang Xingjian, you might not be aware of some of our rights. "In fact, as long as we're willing to, we can detain and investigate a first transition Knight for fifteen days without any conditions."
He continued, "For example, for today's investigation, we can continue on for fifteen days, until the end of the inter-class competition." He said with a threatening expression, "Similarly, this time can be at any time. For example, next year's Regional Selection?"
In that instant, killing intent surged in Fang Xingjian's eyes. The two agents only felt a flash of lightning in the office, as if countless longswords had just been unsheathed.
However, how could Charlie be bothered by the hostility of a first transition Knight? He smiled and said, "Why? Have you thought of something now? If you continue to refuse to cooperate, I can guarantee that although the Empire is big, there will definitely be no place for you. "Why? Don't you feel that this sentence sounds familiar? "
In that instant, the First Prince's words flashed past Fang Xingjian's mind.
"But if you refuse, I can guarantee that although the Empire is big, there will definitely be no place for you."
The two of them had said the same thing, not changing a single word. At this moment, Fang Xingjian looked at Charlie's complacent smile and understood that Charlie had definitely been sent by the First Prince to deal with him, or rather, to threaten him.
This was telling him that the First Prince did not need to do anything personally, nor did he need to use any powers to prevent him from participating in the Regional Selection for the rest of his life.
However, Fang Xingjian only smiled coldly, closed his eyes, and continued with his self-cultivation. For the next hour or so, no matter what Charlie said, he ignored it.
