The Strongest Knight

This year's qualifying round gradually became dull after the match between Gray and Scott.

Occasionally there would be clashes between second-tier geniuses like Devins, but with the powerful bloodline abilities of Gray and Scott colliding in the past, these seemed a little dull.

In the end, only Gray and Prince Charles tied for first place in this round with five wins in five games.

After the top thirty contestants are decided, it will be the self-selected challenge round for those who failed to make the cut.

Gray basically has nothing to do in this round. No one is so blind as to come back and cause trouble for Gray, the number one.

After the last few knights of the thirty were defeated and replaced, the thirty people from the Kingdom of Dru who would go to the Heart of the World this year were confirmed.

Thirty people were invited into the royal palace and received an audience with King Drew. Among them, there were three new knights, including Gray, who would also receive the honor of knighthood and be awarded the medal of knighthood.

In the magnificent palace, Gray felt quite nervous.

It was not because of the luxurious environment, but because Gray sensed the auras of fifteen superior knights and three paladins who were openly and undisguisedly locking onto the royal palace.

King Drew arrived quickly without making Gray and his thirty men wait any longer.

When a middle-aged man with an ordinary face and height and wearing a crown appeared and sat on the throne of the palace, Gray was slightly stunned.

As expected, just as the legend said, Druman XXXIV was an extremely ordinary-looking man.

It is said that there are as many as eighteen candidates for the throne competing with Druman XXXIV.

And each one was more outstanding than the other, but in the end they were all defeated one by one by the current King.

There is a famous saying in the Kingdom of Dru that was created because of Druman: An ordinary body does not affect the extraordinary soul underneath the body from shining.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" At the prompting of the ceremonial officer, the thirty final winners of the qualifying round knelt on one knee at the same time in front of Druman XXXIV and performed a solemn ceremony to meet the king.

"Wake up, my geniuses." Drewman Thirty-Four's voice had an accent that could attract people involuntarily and make them listen to him attentively.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Druman's kingly temperament was fully revealed, and he was no longer ordinary at all.

"You are all great. Seeing your wonderful performances, I know that the new forces of the Drew Kingdom are still growing."

"Fate has called you to the palace in Tehran, and this is only the first step."

"Next, you will represent Drew and even the North Territory to go to the Heart of the World. I hope you can continue to maintain your current attitude..."

......

Coming out of the palace, Gray had one more thing in his hand.

That's what every official Drew Knight possesses - the Medal of Knighthood.

The Knight's Medal is a large-scale magical item created by the mages of the Kingdom of Balam in the southern region for the Kingdom of Dru.

Each Knight's Medal can detect the presence of other Knight's Medals within a 300-kilometer radius, and can communicate by leaving voice messages by consuming magic stone energy.

In addition, some larger cities in Drew are equipped with communication tools that can contact the Knights' Medals within a hundred kilometers, so that timely help can be obtained when encountering danger.

Official knights hold the Knight's Medal and can send messages to the palace headquarters over extremely long distances.

However, this ultra-long-distance transmission involves the power of time and space. Each knight medal can only be transmitted three times. After three times, one has to return to the palace to find someone to replenish the power of time and space.

"Time is really tight. The results just came out today, and we have to set off for the Heart of the World early tomorrow morning."

"But I'm really looking forward to it. The Heart of the World, the Will of the World, haha, these should be the most important things in the world..."

Perhaps they were going to set off on a long journey to the Heart of the World tomorrow, so the other twenty or so knights, including Prince Charles, were hurrying back home or to where their relatives were.

Since Gray's hometown is not in the royal capital and he has no relatives, he seems to have a lot of free time.

I returned to the Windsor Hotel with mixed feelings, but I didn't expect that a banquet had already been set up in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.

"Gray, the Windsor Hotel will be closed today to celebrate for you."

Princess Windsor changed into a nude pink princess dress today. The sweet and soft pink color eliminated most of her aggressive and tough aura.

"Let's cheer for Gray and hope he can achieve good results in the Heart of the World!" Windsor led the applause.

Then came the eight new knights who defected to Windsor, as well as some other of Windsor's staff and friends.

"Thank you." Gray said sincerely.

......

The function of the ID card has been cancelled.

Early in the morning, Gray was able to enter the palace with the personal information of the Knight's Medal.

The martial arts arena was empty today. After the thirty knights arrived, the huge arena seemed even more desolate.

None of the knights were in the mood to gossip.

There is melancholy before the long journey, and also concerns about facing the fierce competition for the identity of the Son of the World.

Everyone’s goal is to become a one in a million child of the world.

However, every year, the four major domains select as many as five hundred contestants, but only ten of them will be recognized by the world's will and become the Sons of the World.

The elimination rate is even more exaggerated than the 30 out of 300 in the qualifying round.

A figure shining with golden light flew in from outside the palace in the sky.

Gray looked up and saw that it was one of the paladins who served as referee yesterday, and also the senior inspector of the Dru Kingdom.

He also bowed and thanked the red-haired paladin with a long scar on his face.

"Lord Murphy, thank you for your help this time." As a prince, Charles obviously knew this superior knight.

"You're too polite, Prince Eleven." Murphy didn't dare to be arrogant in front of the prince.

He reached directly for the magic pet bag at his waist, a black shadow flashed out, and a huge flying fish with a body length of more than 50 meters appeared in the air.

The shape of the flying fish is a bit like an enlarged version of the catfish, but its back is slightly concave, which is just convenient for people to live in.

Its two wings kept swaying slightly up and down, and it floated nimbly in the air. Its big face had tiny eyes, and if it weren't for its huge body, it would look quite cute.

"This is my knight fellow, Fisherman. Next, Fisherman and I will take you to the heart of the world. Come on up." Murphy took the lead and jumped onto Fisherman's back.

It turns out to be a knight's companion. No wonder his life breath is so terrifyingly strong, Gray said to himself.

The strength of this fish-man has probably reached the level of a mid-level knight.

Thirty knights jumped onto the back of the Fisherman one by one. After Murphy looked back again to confirm that the thirty people were correct, he drove the Fisherman to the southeast.

Once again, Gray was surprised by the fisherman's speed.

The fish's wide wings spread out, and its flat body quickly flew forward as if there was no resistance at all, at an astonishing speed.

The journey that Hei Yu took seven days to complete could probably be completed in one day with the speed of a fisherman.

"Based on the speed of the fishermen, this journey will take about twenty days to complete." Murphy reminded the knights behind him.

Fortunately, the knights only needed a little food to survive, and could endure twenty days of continuous travel.

The heart of the world is located in the center of the Endless Sea, hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.

It is equivalent to the distance from the earth to the moon in Gray's previous life.

The grandeur of Barrow's world is undoubtedly reflected.
