"Be more careful next time."
Looking at the burly man in front of him, Adil frowned. In the end, he didn't dwell on this issue. He just casually said, "In the future, if it's not necessary, don't attack these children."
"Yes, leader!" Anguli nodded stiffly, looking a little embarrassed.
At this moment, a few figures walked out of the house in front of them.
There were a total of three figures, two men and one woman. They didn't look young.
"Leader Andak, you're here."
Seeing Adil standing in the distance, the three of them hurriedly walked out, looking very respectful.
Although they didn't have much contact with him, based on the information they had, Adil's strength was very likely to be at the level of a Heavenly Knight. For them, he was definitely a big shot.
Such a big shot, not to mention in the strict order of the Turin Sect, even in other places, it would not be a problem for him to kill a few small fries like them. Naturally, they couldn't afford to offend him.
"Hmm." Seeing the three people walking out of the house and Anguli standing on the side, Adil's expression was cold, and he just nodded slightly.
The four people in front of him were his subordinates and also the core of this branch.
After all, Katutan was the capital. Not only was the city very large, but the forces and relationships involved were also very complicated.
Therefore, in this city, the Turin Sect had set up a total of six branches, each of which monitored a certain area.
After Adil saved Li Da, he was arranged to be the leader of one of the branches.
Of course, strictly speaking, with the strength of a Heavenly Knight, it was actually a waste of talent for him to be the leader of a branch.
However, Adil was only an outer member of the Turin Sect before. Now that he had officially joined, it was already not bad for him to be able to be in this position.
"Has anything special happened recently?"
After walking into the house, Adil looked at the four people in front of him and asked directly.
"Compared to two months ago, recently, there have been more and more knights gathering in this city."
Standing in front of Adil, the only female among the four opened her mouth.
She had a head of rare long brown hair, and her skin was dark. She looked a little wild. At this moment, she was looking at Adil with a very serious and focused expression. "The higher-ups have given us a mission. They want us to do our best to collect information and intelligence on the participating knights and report everything to them."
Hearing this, Adil's expression did not change. He was not surprised.
The Knight Competition was only held once every five years. It involved many things, including the competition between various forces. It could be considered a rare spectacle.
It was normal for the Turing Church to place so much importance on this matter.
However, what the woman said next surprised Adil.
"There will be quite a few special people coming to the conferment ceremony this time."
Standing in front of Adil, the woman said, "Other than the candidates sent by the Malan Empire, it is said that this time, the Guno Empire will also send people over, and one of them is a prince of Guno."
"Prince of Guno?" Hearing this, Adil was taken aback.
The Guno Empire was located further north of the Malan Empire. As most of its territory was connected to the Guno Forest, it was famous. Its citizens were warlike, and in terms of aggression, it could be considered the strongest among the four empires. It had repeatedly attacked the surrounding small countries, and every few years, it would stir up trouble.
Unfortunately, although this country was powerful, it was also facing the greatest pressure. Not only was it close to the terrifying Guno Forest, it was also guarded by the surrounding countries, and they even joined forces to resist it.
The Malan Empire in the south, and the West Mist Kingdom in the east, these countries were not pushovers. Under the situation where more than half of their military forces were tied down by the Guno Forest, it was not easy to face several large countries at the same time.
However, although the relationship between the Guno Empire and the Malan Empire was not too strained in recent years, the distance between the two countries could not be considered close. From one country to the other, it would probably take more than half a year.
This was also the reason why Adil was surprised.
For a prince to travel such a long distance to the Malan Empire to participate in the conferment ceremony, it was indeed strange.
"Which prince is coming?" After thinking for a moment, he asked.
"It is the youngest son of King Guno, he is only seventeen this year." The subordinate in front of him replied, "This prince seems to be on some mission, bringing a large number of envoys with him."
"That's right." Adil nodded his head lightly, "Participating in the conferment ceremony should be just in passing, this Prince Guno should have another mission."
"Send people to keep a close eye on him." Standing on the spot, after thinking for a moment, he said, "Send people to investigate as much as possible which Knights are participating in the conferment ceremony."
"Yes." In front of him, the four subordinates replied respectfully.
After staying on the spot for a while and settling some matters that required his personal decision, Adil left this place.
Walking out of the house, in the small alley outside the door, a few child beggars were still wailing.
A light breeze blew from afar, bringing a gust of fresh air and also blowing away the stench of blood in the surroundings.
Smelling this stench, Adil lowered his head to look at the corners of his surroundings.
In that corner, there was a corpse that had its flesh bitten to pieces lying there in Silence. The corpse had been cut into many pieces.
Beside the corpse, a few black dogs that were half the height of a human were still biting and fighting for pieces of flesh.
Looking at this scene, Adil's eyes flickered. After silently watching for a while, he turned around and walked back in the direction he came from.
… …
A few days later, in the early morning.
On this day, Eileen appeared very early. Before the sky was completely bright, she sent someone to pass a message to Adil, asking him to accompany her to the palace early in the morning.
Along the way, as Eileen's personal guard, Adil rode beside Eileen and did not encounter any accidents in this city.
As the road gradually came to an end, at the end of the road, a glorious palace slowly opened up.
This was a very luxurious and beautiful palace, decorated with gemstones and fresh flowers, appearing majestic and grand. It had a style that Adil had never seen before.
Compared to the buildings that Adil had seen in the past, this building was not the most beautiful, but it was still very special.
Of course, in terms of elegance and magnificence, this place was far from being comparable to the Wizards, let alone the elves in the Silver Fog Forest.
Compared to the different architectural styles on the surface, what attracted Adil was the things that ordinary people could not see.
There are traces of Knight sigils … Looking at the building in front of him and feeling the traces inside, Adil muttered to himself.
The so-called Knight sigils were a kind of development of the Knight's use of life energy. The effect was somewhat similar to the Wizard World's spell formations, which could be used to do various things.
However, compared to the Wizard World's spell formations, the Knight sigils in this world were much rarer. After coming to this world for half a year, Adil had only seen a part of the Turin Church's distribution base. It could be seen that the Knight sigils were very rare, far from being as widespread and complete as the spell formations.
Silently remembering this characteristic, Adil followed Eileen and continued walking forward.
