Looking at Cadiz, who was sitting in Silence beside Count Poria, Adil retracted his gaze, doubt rising in his heart.
"Did Count Poria intentionally block the news, or is there some other reason?"
He thought to himself as he looked at Poria in the distance.
Between these two possibilities, Adil was more inclined to the other reason.
The reason was simple.
As the leader of Count Poria's personal guards, Knight Vlaar had been fighting for many years, and was definitely one of them.
In terms of status, Knight Vlaar and Count Poria had a rather distant bloodline relationship, and his status in the entire territory was second only to the leader of the Black Knights, Acadilla.
His status and relationship were sufficient. Logically speaking, there was no need for Count Poria to hide this matter from him, and there was no reason for him to hide it so deeply.
Thinking of this, Leylin could not help but shift his gaze to Acadilla, who was sitting opposite Count Poria.
In front of him, Acadilla was dressed in a form-fitting formal attire, his blonde hair draped over his shoulders. He looked handsome and cheerful, capturing the hearts of many noble ladies on this occasion.
As if sensing Adil's gaze, he put down the wine glass in his hand and turned to look into the distance.
Two sharp gazes collided in mid-air, sparks seemingly flying from the friction.
Adil looked at Acadilla, who was looking at him from afar, and a gentle and humble smile appeared on his face.
He raised the wine glass on the table, swirled it, and toasted. He then lowered his head, no longer looking in that direction, appearing low-key and silent.
The banquet went wild until very late in the night.
One by one, the drunken nobles and warriors were carried away by the servants to rest. When about seventy to eighty percent of the original people had left, only the last group of people were left to continue the banquet.
Acadilla and Count Poria also looked drunk at the moment. It seemed that they had drunk a lot, and now they went back to rest as well.
At the side, seeing the two people in the center leave the banquet, the knights who had been sitting at the side stood up and split into two distinct groups, surrounding the two as they left.
"How's the situation?"
Acadilla asked the knight beside him after walking for a long time and arriving outside the castle.
At this moment, his expression was calm, and his posture was tall and straight. Although his clothes were a little messy and reeked of alcohol, it couldn't hide his valiance. He didn't look like a drunk person at all.
Perhaps it could be said that he wasn't drunk in the first place. His drunken appearance from before was completely an act.
"The situation is still under control." On the side, a knight replied, "Count Poria has a total of seven knights under his command. One died in battle at the frontlines, and two were instigated to defect by us, so there are only four left. Each of them controls a certain number of troops."
"And of these four, the most difficult to deal with is that old bastard Pilar."
"You still missed one. Don't forget about the newly promoted knight named Adil. Counting it up, there are still five people," someone interrupted from the side.
"How can that be the same?" The person from before said disdainfully, "He's just a newly promoted Knight who's been promoted for less than two or three months. I'm afraid he hasn't even gotten used to it yet. I can take care of him with one hand."
"Don't underestimate this knight. Although he hasn't been promoted for long, his strength is definitely not weak. He might even be close to catching up to Pilar."
Standing in the center, Cadilla shook his head and said.
"How is this possible!"
On the side, the few knights beside Cadilla shouted in unison, a hint of disbelief flashing in their eyes.
"It's true. My senses can't be wrong. This child is giving me a lot of pressure, it's simply inconceivable."
Cadilla said slowly. Then, a cold smile appeared on his face, "Hehe, if I remember correctly, he'll only be 14 years old in a few months."
"A 13-year-old strong knight. This half-elf bloodline is really useful. With such talent, even I can't bear to kill him."
His expression gradually turned cold. The killing intent on his face that looked full of heroic spirit wasn't concealed in the slightest.
"This …" On the side, a knight said somewhat hesitantly, "Since Sir has taken a fancy to his talent, why don't we send someone to test him and see if we can instigate him to defect?"
"It's useless." Cadilla's expression did not change. He merely said coldly, "Have you forgotten that this child is from the same race as that old thing Poria? Why should he help us, a group of outsiders, to deal with his own uncle? "
"Also, have you guys forgotten?"
He continued, "Not long ago at the frontlines, we just joined forces with that group of Orcs to set up the allied armies of the nobles. If I remember correctly, Baron Eixlan died there. He was surrounded by a group of Orc Warriors and died a miserable death in the end."
"We just set up the death of his father, and now you're talking to me about instigation?"
Speaking to this point, Cadilla shook his head and came to a conclusion, "In the entire Northland, anyone can be instigated to defect. Only Pilar and Adil can't be."
… …
On the other side, Adil was walking alone on a long and narrow road. There was no one around him, and it seemed very quiet.
It was already midnight. The sounds of insects around him were intermittent, breaking the silence of the night.
Unknowingly, he walked to a piece of flat ground. This was the place where he had trained in the past.
There was no one in this familiar place. Not long after, Adil walked to the center of the training ground and pulled out his sword from his waist. Silence, he pondered.
'The original Knight secret techniques became much cruder after reaching the Grand Knight level. It's fine if I'm facing those at the Knight level, but if I'm facing someone at the Grand Knight level like Cadilla, I'm afraid it won't be of much use. '
Thinking about Cadilla's appearance and his terrifying physique, Adil stood where he was and thought to himself.
"A.I. Chip, create a mission. Perfect the Knight secret techniques with the current information!"
After a while, he ordered the A.I. Chip in his mind.
In an instant, a huge amount of information appeared in Adil's mind.
His comprehension and experience of using the Knight secret techniques in the past, as well as the Knight secret techniques that he had seen used by others, all appeared in Adil's mind. They served as the A.I. Chip's reference and served as the basic information to perfect the Knight secret techniques.
[Mission 1 established. Estimated time remaining: 4 days and 3 hours.]
The mechanical voice sounded in his mind in an instant.
Adil stood where he was and trained for a while before leaving.
Many days later.
One morning, the mechanical voice in his mind woke Adil up.
[Beep! Derivation completed.]
