The Strongest Knight

The residence of the alien councillor of the Red River Valley, the Murloc Lord Min, is located in the southern part of the Red River Valley.

This is a huge walled area called Fishman Paradise.

The circular wall, which is more than ten meters high, is covered with poisonous vines. Inside the wall, artificial sand and an artificial lake created by guiding the water flow of the Red River each occupy half of the area.

Gray and Angele walked in through the main gate together, and saw a group of sea creatures performing a messy show on the artificial lake, while Min Zheng and Mage Councillor Holm were lying on the lounge chairs on the sand, enjoying the show and basking in the sunset.

"My lords, please come this way!"

A female fishman walked over with Gray and Angele.

Amy and another wizard apprentice that Angele had just subdued stayed where they were and waited.

"Gray, you fought against two half-knight monsters alone! You are so awesome!" Holm flattered him from a distance.

"Please pay attention to your wording. A fallen monster is a fallen monster. Don't bring up the word knight. Also, I need an explanation." Gray said with a straight face.

"Explanation? What explanation?" Holm pretended to be confused.

"It seems that the so-called mutual assistance contract is just empty talk." Angelet said coldly, crossing his arms.

Holm's face tightened when he heard that. The mage's mental power and the wizard's mental power seemed to be engaged in a silent battle in the void.

"Okay, okay." Min came out to smooth things over.

He stood up, his two-meter-five height looked quite imposing, but neither Gray nor Angele showed any sign of abnormality.

"After all, Holm and I have never seen you take action in person, and we lack understanding of your strength. This time we chose to watch from the sidelines. Although it is wrong, it is also reasonable. We need to have a chance to see your strength with our own eyes." Min said.

"Two half-body level knight monsters... oh no, fallen monsters. Ordinary regular knights can only choose to retreat. Gray, you can injure both of them and force them to flee. I definitely recognize your strength now."

Gray shook his head. "Since we have signed a contract and established an alliance, we should help them instead of sitting back and watching the fight under the pretext of testing their strength. Moreover, this happened in the city of Red River Valley, and it is not my responsibility alone. If Angele had not arrived in time, the result would be unknown."

"You disappoint me so much. If the four Red River Valley councilmen cannot work together, this place will be occupied by others sooner or later." Gray shook his head and sighed.

"Angel, let's go." Gray turned around and said.

"Let's go!" Angelet cooperated and floated up.

"Wait!" Min said hurriedly, "Didn't I invite you here this time just to apologize to you?"

"Holm and I still hope that everyone can get along sincerely in the future!"

Gray grinned slightly from an angle that no one could see, then turned around and returned to his expressionless state: "How do you want to compensate?"

"I heard that Gray is going to recruit a large number of knight students recently? This will cost a lot. Holm and I will each support you, Gray, with 100 gold coins as a small token of our apology. What do you think?" Min said.

One hundred gold coins? The bonuses of the councillors were not much different, with Min and Holm also receiving between 500 and 800 gold coins each month.

A mere one hundred gold coins is indeed too little.

Gray frowned. "There are more and more spies in the Huangyan City area recently. I'm afraid a war is going to happen. I just inherited the position of senator. I can't afford too much military expenses if a war breaks out. You two should gather 500 gold coins for me just in case."

"Five hundred? Do you want me to starve for the next month?" Holm jumped up.

Gray shrugged. "No way. Unless you're willing, we can all do our own things in the future. Don't think of asking me and Angele for help when you encounter a crisis. If you want me to calm down, five hundred gold coins are indispensable."

Angelet secretly gave Gray a thumbs up. After today's commotion, no matter whether the 500 gold coins could be obtained or not, if similar things happened in the future, these two would definitely not stand idly by.

Just like the two fallen monsters escaped today, as long as Min and Holm took action to intercept them, even if they suffered minor injuries, these two monsters would definitely be captured alive.

A few minutes later, Gray and Angele walked out of the Fishman Paradise side by side.

Gray was holding a bag filled with 400 heavy gold coins.

Min and Holm finally reluctantly paid 250 gold coins each.

Gray didn't have the habit of eating alone, so he generously gave Angele a hundred gold coins.

After leaving the Fishman Lei Courtyard, Gray got on the carriage and Amy drove it north back to the castle, while Angele floated east back to the mansion with his young wizard apprentice.

The Red River Valley can actually be divided into four areas.

With the Red River as the vertical line and the river square in the center of the Red River as the horizontal line, the upper left is the jurisdiction of the Mage Tower of Mage Holm, the lower left is the jurisdiction of the Murloc Lord Min, the upper right is the jurisdiction of the Knight Castle where Gray is located, and the lower right is the jurisdiction of the Angele Wizard Academy.

Although there is no explicit regulation for this division, a tacit understanding has long been formed in the dark.

For example, apprentice mages prefer to live in the area governed by the Mage Tower on the upper left;

When aliens enter the Red River Valley, they also like to move around in the area governed by the fishman lords on the lower left;

The area on the upper right is where people who aspire to become knights gather;

Several wizard families gather in the lower right corner of the Red River Valley.

There are no landmarks dividing the four districts, and the U-shaped commercial street directly runs through the four districts. People who have just arrived in the Red River Valley will definitely not be able to tell the difference between the four districts.

"Now that the situation has stabilized, it's time to send a letter to the teacher."

There had been no news sent back for a whole week, and Fielding and others in Birch Castle must be getting anxious.

In the carriage, Gray took out a pen and paper and began to write briefly.

Gray had just finished writing when they arrived at the arch bridge in front of the castle. He leaned half of his body out of the carriage and summoned Black Feather.

With a crisp cry, Heiyu's huge body appeared in front of the arch bridge, gently flapping its wings that were more than ten meters wide.

"Heiyu, go back." Gray stuffed the letter into Heiyu's mouth and said.

Heiyu understood what Gray meant and chirped in response. Then he circled into the sky, flew towards the north, and quickly disappeared from Gray's sight.

"Sir, who is your knight companion?" Amy asked curiously from the coachman's seat.

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask." Gray replied indifferently and returned to the carriage and sat up straight.

"I understand." Amy replied obediently and continued to drive the carriage through the arch bridge, into the Grey Knight Castle, and stopped in the open space in front of the main castle.

Gray got off the carriage and went straight to the top floor of the main castle. He wanted to see what effect this so-called divine stone had.
