The Strongest Knight

"Angel, right? I think you know that if a wizard breaks into the Northern Territory, no one will stand up for you even if you are killed in public." Gray stood beside Abel who was still struggling, and said coldly.

Unlike the knights in the North who are divided by country, wizards in the West often have a wizard academy behind them.

The Western Regions is a world dominated by wizards with numerous wizard academies. The nobles of ordinary kingdoms are just puppet regimes of wizards.

Angele remained calm upon hearing this, with a hint of innocence in his heterochromatic eyes. He spread his hands and said, "Of course I know, but I don't think the proud Knight Drew would attack a traveler who has no ill intentions, right?"

Gray rolled his eyes. “Abel, that damn beast slave, just called out your name, and you tell me you are a traveler?”

Gray shook his head: "Don't ever say that the beast slave riot had nothing to do with you."

Angele was silent for a while. Seeing that Gray had no intention of letting him go easily, he could only nod slightly and admit: "Money is a bit tight recently. Dozens of beast slaves are a considerable income."

So you instigated the beast slave riot just to sell them as slaves for money after they ran across the border?

Gray stomped on Abel hard, and the latter screamed under the double blow of psychological and physical pain.

"You know, because of this riot, a village was destroyed and countless ordinary people in the Drew Kingdom died tragically at the hands of the beast slaves."

Angele said indifferently, "It's just some ordinary people who died. I have no ill will towards your Knight Castle. In fact, I came here with good intentions. I also want to make some knight friends."

Gray sneered, "Is this how you make friends?"

Gray was quite moved by Angele's indifference to ordinary people: "So, you are a wizard, and I am a knight."

"Tsk, hypocritical knight." Angele sneered, but still reached into the bag at his waist.

"This is a body-hardening potion worth ten gold coins. It's my apology for being so abrupt."

A glass bottle filled with red liquid was thrown at Gray. Gray frowned and watched the glass bottle fall in front of him. A cavalryman dismounted from his horse, picked it up, examined it carefully, and then handed it to Gray.

The wizards are mysterious, and who knows what they have in their hands, it might be liquid explosives, so it's always better to be careful.

Playing with the medicine tube in his hand, Gray stared at the wizard's two different strange eyes and was silent for a while: "You can leave now."

"Your choice is right. You are the first knight I have ever met. I respect every Dru knight and hope we can establish a connection. This is my communication rune. You can come to me anytime when you come to the Central Region." Angelet placed an ordinary-looking maple leaf on the ground, and then without pausing, he silently chanted a spell and a whirlwind rose under his feet, carrying him as he flew backwards quickly towards the border.

Before standing up, Angele looked up at the deep sky with fear. In the darkening sky, a black shadow flashed among the clouds.

The Paladin Castle on the border is mainly used to deter powerful official wizards. These brave wizard apprentices dare to cross the border.

"Gray, are you just going to let him go like this?" Garu came closer unwillingly.

Gray threw the body-hardening potion to Garu, who took it in a panic.

"Stupid or not, he is at least a high-level wizard apprentice. If they really fight, with the wizard's strange methods, it is still unknown who will win or lose."

Gray also looked up at the sky and added in his mind that if his teacher's knight partner had not come with him, he might not have had the confidence to talk to the wizard apprentice just now. After all, he was only a lower-level knight apprentice now.

When going out on a random mission, one would encounter a hostile being much more powerful than oneself.

Gray's desire to become stronger grew stronger.

Mysterious wizard, chaotic Central Region...

Only by becoming stronger can we see the world more clearly.

"Gray...this body-tempering potion..." Garu said hesitantly.

After becoming a knight's apprentice and joining the Birch Castle, this lonely guy seemed to have found a home and was no longer as taciturn as before.

"Take it. You need it more than I do."

As Gray finished speaking, the surrounding cavalrymen all cast envious glances at Garu. The body-tempering potion, as the name suggests, can strengthen various qualities of the body. If the cavalrymen take it, they may be able to condense the soul of a knight.

After Garu took the body-tempering potion, he was able to speed up the condensation of the second knight's soul. The sooner the knight's soul was condensed, the broader the future would be.

As for the wizards, from the moment they chose to concentrate their magic power, their bodies had already embarked on an alternative path of transformation, and they would never be able to become knights.

Gray has not yet felt the limit of his body. He is still young and has a high probability of becoming a knight through his own training. He does not need any external help for the time being.

Finally, Gray stepped forward and picked up the maple leaf left by Angele.

It was a very ordinary maple leaf, but Gray felt that as long as he input the energy of the knight's soul, this maple leaf would change.

Keep it, maybe you will have the opportunity to go to the Central Region in the future.

The cavalrymen collected the captives and the bodies of the beast slaves. At Gray's command, the team marched across the no-man's land and returned to Stoneclaw City.

......

After Abaier's group of orcs were wiped out, only three beast slaves were left who had escaped and were not brought to justice.

These three beast slaves probably chose to escape alone during the riot. Although their traces were small, they would be easier to capture once discovered.

Two of the orcs were captured by the Stoneclaw guards, and one was discovered by villagers when he tried to enter a village to steal food. Hundreds of strong villagers wielding hoes smashed him to death in the village, at the cost of three of them being seriously injured.

When the news was reported to Stoneclaw City, the city lord Matthews did not blame the villagers for killing the expensive beast slaves. Instead, he invited the village chief to Stoneclaw City to commend him for his performance, which reflected the bravery and courage of the Dru people.

More than three hundred innocent people died in this beast slave riot. The incident was so serious that the original owners of the beast slaves, some wealthy businessmen who had requested in advance that the beast slaves should not be harmed and that they should be captured alive as much as possible, naturally had nothing to say.

After Gray killed more than half of the beast slaves, not only did no one dare to complain, but after Gray returned to the city, the wealthy businessmen raised funds to give the cavalrymen valuable items. The cavalrymen who died in the battle also received a considerable compensation from the City Lord's Mansion, and Gray was also given ten gold coins as a gift.

Gray accepted all of this with a smile, but he did not stay in Stoneclaw City for too long to accept the cheers of the people. He hurried on in the middle of the night and returned to Birch Castle with the body of the only cavalryman who died in the battle.
