"Elina, long time no see." A gentle voice sounded out.
In front of Adil and the others, a tall and mature woman was walking towards Elina and the others.
She wore a pure white robe and had a tall crown on her head. Her delicate and beautiful face had a gentle smile, and her posture was elegant as she slowly walked towards Elina.
"Sister Dolores."
Looking at the mature woman in front of her, Elina also revealed a faint smile. "Long time no see."
"It has indeed been a long time." In front of her, Dolores lightly nodded. Her gaze was a bit judgmental. "I haven't seen you for half a year, and you feel different."
"How does it feel to leave Katutan City for half a year?"
"It's alright. At least I can still stand here and talk to Sister Dolores." Elina's smile did not change as she calmly replied.
"You." Dolores shook her head, then said, "Let's go. Brother Angele is already waiting inside."
After saying this, she brought Elina and slowly walked into the palace.
The palace in front of them occupied a very large area, and there were often many knights and soldiers patrolling around. Occasionally, they would look at Elina and Dolores, but they did not show much of an expression, and they did not even salute.
This situation caused some of the knights beside Elina to frown, but in this situation, it was not good for them to say anything.
Not long later, they walked to the door of a building, and there, a few people were standing there.
"Welcome, Princess Elina and Princess Dolores," a voice sounded out in front of the palace.
It was an old man wearing a black form-fitting suit, and he looked very dignified. Seeing Elina and the others walk out, he led some people forward to welcome them.
He looked at Elina and the others and said politely, "His Highness Angele is already waiting inside."
"Lead the way." Elina nodded, and her expression returned to its usual indifference.
The old man in front of her did not say anything, but he maintained a polite smile as he led Elina and the others forward.
They came to a hall, and melodious music sounded out, accompanied by the smell of fresh flowers and perfume.
Clap clap clap …
A wave of applause sounded out from the hall, followed by the figure of a handsome man.
"Long time no see, Dolores and Alina."
Inside the hall, a handsome young man walked out, wearing a black robe.
He had a gentle face and a handsome appearance. His entire person seemed to be graceful and had an elegant and extraordinary temperament.
He was the fifth prince of the Malan Empire and also Alina's half-brother. He had a high reputation among the nobles of the empire.
"Name: Angele. Strength: 15.6 Agility: 16.5 Constitution: 16.8 Spiritual Power: 3.1 "
Angele's data appeared in front of Adil's eyes.
"Another character who pretends to be a pig to eat a tiger," Adil thought to himself as he looked at the data.
Back in the Malan Empire, when he decided to seek refuge with Alina, he had also investigated the princes and princesses of the Malan Royal Family. Among them, Prince Angele, who was known to have the best reputation, was the most important.
From the information he had gathered, it was said that Prince Angele's strength was only at the peak of a Great Knight and had not reached the level of a Heavenly Knight.
However, from the looks of it, this prince had probably advanced to the level of a Heavenly Knight for a long time. His true strength had already reached the level of a Conferred Knight and was even above Alina.
Relatively speaking, among the three members of the royal family, even Dolores, who was the weakest, had reached the peak of a Great Knight and could be considered to be extremely talented.
He didn't have time to think too much. After a while, the banquet officially began.
During this process, Adil was very low-key and followed beside Alina the whole time. In the end, he sat quietly at the side.
He was not sitting alone. Beside him were the other Knights that Alina had brought with her. At this moment, they were all surrounding him, with him as their leader.
Not far away, the Knights under Dolores and Angele were also seated. The three groups were clearly separated and could be seen with one look.
Sitting on a chair covered with silk, Adil looked at the two groups in the distance.
Among them, the Knights under Dolores were led by a middle-aged Knight. He looked somewhat old and weathered. After sensing Adil's gaze, he smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand towards Adil.
As for the Knights under Angele, they were led by a young Knight.
It was a young man dressed in a black robe. He looked rather handsome and young, and he looked rather arrogant.
"Name: Unknown. Strength: 13.1. Agility: 13.7. Physique: 11.5. Spiritual Energy: 1.8. "
"Name: Unknown. Strength: 12.8. Agility: 12.4. Physique: 13.9. Spiritual Energy: 1.6. "
Sitting on the wooden chair, the data of the two people in the distance appeared before Adil's eyes.
Both of them were quite strong. As the trusted subordinates of the other two princes and princesses, their strength had reached the level of a Heavenly Knight.
Comparatively speaking, the middle-aged Knight was slightly stronger. However, due to his age, his physical strength might not be as good as that of the young Knight.
Adil thought to himself as he silently ate his meal and looked at the data of the two people.
The banquet ended quickly. In this place, the Knights of the three parties were rather restrained, and nothing unpleasant happened.
After the banquet ended, Alina walked out of the hall and led Adil and the rest into the distance.
"How do you feel?"
While riding on the road, Alina suddenly spoke while looking at Adil.
"Hmm?" Adil turned around in confusion, not understanding what she meant.
"Those two Knights just now will also be participating in the competition. They can be considered as your potential opponents." Alina looked at Adil and casually said, "How about it? Are you confident? "
"A little." Riding on the horse, Adil nodded lightly. "In terms of strength, if nothing goes wrong, those two won't be my opponents."
Although his tone was calm, his words carried a sense of firmness and confidence. Alina could not help but nod. "It's good that you're confident."
"Oh, right." Seeming to have thought of something, she waved her hand and added, "In this competition, try not to expose the fact that you've already condensed wings of fighting energy."
"It'll be best if you can get first place as a Heavenly Knight, but it doesn't matter if you can't."
"Yes." Adil lowered his head and respectfully replied.
Time flew by, and another few days passed.
Under the expectations of countless Knights, the conferring ceremony finally began.
The venue for the competition was a huge colosseum outside the palace. Gladiator competitions were often held there, and the scene was large enough.
All Knights who signed up to participate in the competition had to first enter this colosseum and defeat some magical beasts or even organized gladiator slaves as gladiators. Only then would they be qualified to advance further.
In a sense, this could also be considered as a screening mechanism. After all, the conferring ceremony that was held once every five years had tens of thousands of participants from various countries. Many of them were not even knights. Naturally, they could not waste too much time on it.
And this filtering mechanism could filter out the true elites, making the competition more intense and interesting.
Bang!
A longsword flew across the sky, leaving a long silver sword aura in the air.
Standing in the middle of the colosseum, Adil put away his sword. He did not look at the gladiator slaves that had fallen to the ground, but turned around and looked in another direction.
In another few colosseums, similar battles were still going on. One of them was an acquaintance of Adil.
It was the young knight under Prince Angele. At this time, just like Adil, he was facing a dozen well-trained gladiator slaves alone.
However, compared to Adil, his methods were much more ruthless. Even though he was facing a group of ordinary people, he would kill them. With each swing of his sword, he would cut down a slave, turning the place into a bloody mess.
This method was undoubtedly more bloody, but it also made the surrounding spectators feel excited, and they kept cheering and shouting the Knight's name.
"Gaco! Kill those slaves! "
"Haha, well done!"
Waves of cheers came from all directions.
Hearing the spectators' shouts, Adil lightly shook his head and put away his sword before leaving through the exit.
When he reached the exit, his footsteps paused as he sensed a figure appear at the side.
At the other entrance, a young man wearing a clean gray robe stood out from it.
He had a longsword at his waist and wore gray clothes. He did not look outstanding, but his eyes were very bright. At this moment, he looked at Adil.
Their gazes intersected and then looked away.
After taking a glance at Adil, the young man withdrew his gaze and lightly nodded before walking out. His footsteps looked very steady.
"The Prince of Guno does not look like a simple person."
Looking at the young man's back, Adil thought to himself.
This young man was the Prince of Guno, and his name was Henus.
As a Prince of the Guno Empire, he had not only signed up for this conferring ceremony but had also personally fought against the gladiator slaves to prove his strength.
"The peak of a Great Knight. Considering his age, this is not bad."
Looking at Guno in the distance, Adil thought to himself before continuing to walk forward.
Soon, he reached the end of the entrance and came out.
