The Strongest Knight

3 "Are you sure you can disguise me as a formal knight?" Gray asked seriously.

"No problem! Breath transformation is a magic I have been studying since I was a low-level wizard apprentice..."

A few days later, Gray, who was wearing a clean robe and exuding a faint breath of life, and Angele, who was still wearing a wizard's hooded robe, stood in front of the entrance of the Red River Valley.

The morning wind was already a little chilly.

People passing by would look at Gray from time to time. After all, even in the ethnically diverse Red River Valley, it was rare to see someone with different colors on the left and right halves of their face.

"I need a half-face mask." Gray said solemnly.

"Indeed." Angelet nodded.

......

Gray and Angelet stayed in that remote valley for three full days.

The main purpose was to wait for Angele to recover. He was hit by the advanced version of Abel's last mental thrust - the mental true blade. Although there was a magical weapon blocking it, he still suffered a hidden injury. It took him three days to fully recover.

Gray, on the other hand, suffered no harm. After eating a large amount of food, he recovered completely that night.

"What should we do next?" Walking out of the shop, Gray touched the wooden half-face mask on his face and said lightly.

Half of his face was covered, and although his hair was still half blond and half gray, no one paid attention to such a small matter as hair color anymore.

"Of course it was a straightforward one. The sudden disappearance of two councillors was suppressed, which was enough to show what the other two councillors were thinking."

"The interests generated in the Red River Valley region are not small. Without the four councillors in control, the remaining two are at risk of being attacked at any time."

"When the time comes, I'll explain the interests involved, and you just need to put on airs."

Gray shrugged. "That depends on your performance."

If it doesn't work, get rid of the remaining two congressmen as well, Gray added in his mind.

Angele said softly, "There is basically no problem with the two congressmen. The difficult part is the family power behind Abel and Kelu that has been operating in the Red River Valley for decades, including their Knight Castle and Wizard Academy. Should we kill them or take them away..."

Gray silently threw away the thought in his mind. Now that he had become a congressman, what he wanted was of course a rich Red River Valley, and it was not advisable to cause too much killing.

"Just talk, I have confidence in you." Gray tightened his robe and patted Angelet on the shoulder.

Angelet suddenly had the illusion that if he failed to reach an agreement, he would be killed.

"Are you really okay with your current condition?" Angele shuddered, glanced at Gray's gray hair, and spoke.

"Although there are still some troubles to be solved, it's not a big problem, enough to kill a knight." Gray smiled back, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, making it difficult to tell whether he is real or not.

The two men kept talking as they walked, and soon the Red River Valley Council Hall appeared before them.

"Stop! Who are you? You are not allowed to trespass into the city hall!"

Two tall guards came over with spears in hand. Gray looked over and saw that they were clearly two lower-level knight apprentices who had condensed the soul of a knight.

......

town Hall.

On the first four high-backed benches in the central conference room, Mage Councillor Holm and Murloc Councillor Min were having a secret discussion.

"So, he has been missing for three days." Min's expression was calm. Being able to become a member of the Red River Valley parliament as an alien, his strength was unquestionable.

Min has blue skin and a big head that is unique to the murlocs, which makes him look ferocious. As a lord-level murloc, his height reaches a terrifying two meters and five.

In comparison, the mage councillor beside Min looked petite and thin.

"Abel and his two students walked out of the gate of the Wizard Academy and left the Red River Valley at dawn three days ago. There were no witnesses from Kelu's side, but he met with Abel during the day. It is estimated that he left at the same time for the same thing."

"It is worth mentioning that Robert Gus, one of Colu's disciples, also returned to the Red River Valley today, three days after he disappeared." Holm said solemnly.

"Oh? This Robert is also involved in this matter?" Unlike his ferocious appearance, there was a gleam of wisdom in his big black eyes.

Holm shook his head. "I immediately had the police arrest him and questioned him carefully. It was basically confirmed that he had nothing to do with this matter."

"The reason Robert disappeared for three days was that he was in a bad mood that day. When he was out hunting, he was attacked and unconscious for three days and three nights."

"What a coincidence." Min couldn't help but laugh, "Did he see clearly the person who attacked Robert?"

"According to him, he didn't see anyone at all, he just felt a blow to the back of his head and fell unconscious," Holm replied.

There is something wrong with this Robert, but Holm is in charge of the police station, and Ming believes in Holm's interrogation ability.

Holm couldn't get any answers, and it would be the same if he were in his place.

The two were silent for a while.

The exaggerated traces of battle in a grove ten kilometers away from the southern exit of the Red River Valley were discovered by the merchants on the same day.

Both of them went to see the scene in person.

There were at least two beings of the same level who had fought with Kelu and Abel.

Now, Kelu and Abel are missing, and I'm afraid they are in great danger.

It was Holm who spoke again: "Members have to attend the town hall meeting every week. We blocked them yesterday, but if they don't show up again, we will be in trouble."

"Do you think someone is going to attack the Red River Valley?" Min said bluntly.

Holm squeezed the handle hard and didn't reply.

The Red River Valley area does not have any precious mineral resources such as magic stones. It was originally just an ordinary river valley. This is why not many professionals pay attention to this place.

Among the four councillors, Holm is one of the earliest councillors from the Red River Valley. It can be said that he worked hard and watched the Red River Valley develop from nothing to a wealthy area with a strong business atmosphere.

Now, has the prosperity of the Red River Valley finally attracted the attention of others?

"Senator, something bad has happened! A wizard and a knight have injured the guards and they want to see you!" A guard from the city hall rushed in from the gate with an anxious look on his face.

Holm and Min looked at each other. Here they come! "Why are you in such a hurry? If you want to see us, then let them in. Bring them in!" Holm said in a deep voice. "No need. We came in by ourselves." Along with this male voice, two figures slowly walked in from the main entrance. The young man who spoke had chestnut hair, his right eye was amber, and his left eye was indeed pure black. There was a black vortex slowly rotating in it, carrying a terrifying breath of death. The chestnut-haired young man came side by side with a blond young man, who was burly, wearing a half-face mask, and constantly exuding a breath of ice.

A dangerous wizard who has practiced special solidification magic? This is the thought in the mind of the powerful wizard Holm.

A powerful knight who has practiced the blood training method? This is the fishman lord Ming who has an extremely keen sense of blood.

He deliberately emitted the aura of ancient blood, and it seemed to have worked. Looking at the doubtful expression of the murloc lord, Gray nodded secretly.
