The Strongest Knight

In the living room of a house.

The deceased remained sitting on the bench, his whole body leaning back and his head hanging silently behind him.

His abdomen was a bloody mess, with a large piece of flesh missing, as if it had been forcibly taken away by something.

Blood flowed down his body drop by drop, and because too much time had passed, a dark red streak of coagulated blood had formed vertically downwards.

Chief Henry of the Red River Valley Police Department glanced cautiously at the long-legged female knight beside him, "What do you think?"

Amy frowned, holding the hilt of the long sword at her waist and said, "Digging out the soul of the knight does seem like the work of a fallen person, but I really don't sense any evil and corrupt aura left."

The deceased was a knight apprentice in his forties who lived in the Red River Valley. He embodied two knight souls and made a living as a mercenary. He was well-known in the mercenary world of the Red River Valley.

It was because an extremely powerful Fallen One had appeared in the battle of the Mithril Mine a few days ago and killed a powerful elder-level man in Huangyan City. So after seeing the cause of death of the deceased, the police station felt it was extremely difficult and reported it immediately.

Finally, Holm came forward to ask for help from Grey Knight Castle.

The Fallen have another name, called Knight Monster. To outsiders, the Fallen and the Knights are of the same lineage, and the only ones who are good at dealing with Knight Monsters are the Knights themselves.

"So..." Sheriff Henry asked tentatively.

"I can't help you for now. Please follow the normal process to investigate. If you find any suspicious targets, please notify me."

After saying this, Amy walked out of the crime scene holding the hilt of the sword.

The knight's apprentice has sharp senses, but at the crime scene, Amy didn't detect any scent of the murderer. Something was a little strange.

Regardless of whether this murderer is a Fallen or not, he must have a way to conceal his own aura.

Since they couldn't be of any use here, Amy didn't make a fuss and led the cavalry back to Grey Castle directly.

In the main castle hall, after Giroud's report, Amy met Gray on the top floor of the main castle.

"Teacher, you seem a little tired?" No matter how powerful Amy is, she is still a woman, and she has a delicacy that other disciples cannot match.

Gray rubbed his forehead. Amy's feeling was very accurate. He was indeed a little mentally exhausted. The difficulty of helping Jon to exercise his blood was beyond his imagination.

The intensity of Gray's corrupted energy far exceeds that of ordinary corrupted people. Just a slight trace of it is enough to cause the ancient blood in Jon's body to boil.

The negative emotions contained in the corrupted energy made Jon completely lose his mind and fell into a state of rage.

If Gray did not take action, even if John activated the ancient bloodline, he would be completely devoured by the ancient bloodline, and combined with his own negative emotions, he would become a brutal and corrupted monster.

Fortunately, Gray anticipated the worst and quickly activated the vitality of life.

This kind of anger is the nemesis of corrupted energy and negative emotions, and has an excellent restorative effect on the body.

Sure enough, after the anger entered Jon's body, he began to gradually regain his sanity and independently fight against the negative emotions that filled his body.

Gray controlled the output of his vitality, on the one hand allowing the vitality to assist Jon in the awakening of his ancient bloodline, and on the other hand preventing the vitality from completely eliminating the corrupted energy and maintaining the stimulation of the ancient bloodline in Jon's body.

This is a very exhausting process.

For Jon, every moment is like a hell of training, but the longer he persists, the more benefits he will gain.

Fortunately, Jon was very determined and the whole process lasted for ten minutes without giving up. Although he failed to activate his bloodline in the end, once his spirit recovered, he should be able to successfully use the bloodline energy after two or three more attempts and become a formal bloodline practitioner.

"It's okay, go ahead." Although he was tired, he couldn't complain like his disciples, so Gray regained his composure and spoke.

Amy didn't waste any time and immediately recounted what happened in the case today.

"If the Fallen One we encountered in Huangyan City sneaked into the Red River Valley, then we would be in trouble. It is a terrible monster that can kill a knight even when being besieged by five knights." Amy said worriedly.

Gray certainly knew the true situation of the fallen monster in Huangyan City. He coughed dryly, rubbed his chin and thought for a while.

"Amy, don't worry about this for now. Go take charge of the mithril mine and find Anderson and Chris to find out the mission status." Gray said.

If there really are Fallen lurking in the Red River Valley, Amy is not strong enough to deal with them.

Now that Grey Knight Castle has no shortage of resources, disciples led by Amy are suitable for carrying out some relatively minor tasks, and then using the abundant supplies to improve themselves as much as possible.

Gray always finds various excuses to reward his disciples with training supplies. With sufficient supplies, Amy herself is about to break through to the level of a mid-level knight apprentice.

Since I have nothing to do recently, I decided to go and take a look myself.

"Yes, teacher." Amy bowed and left. She never questioned the teacher's decision.

Watching Amy leave, Gray called Giroud to give him some instructions.

After changing into a simple white cloth, Grey put on a golden wig to cover up his iconic bald head and mask, and left Grey Castle with his maid, Gasa, amid the surprised salutes of the castle guards.

Now that Gray is one of the leaders of the Red River Valley, his portraits are all over the city. It would be troublesome if he was recognized as soon as he went out without some disguise.

"Sir, where are we going?" The maid Gasa, who had not left the castle for a long time, was very excited.

"Let's go to the crime scene." Gray smiled and walked towards the destination with a surprised Gasa.

Holm's urban development in the Red River Valley was more based on the cities built by the mages in the southern region.

Broad and clean streets, green belts, convenient and unobstructed sewers, and uniformed police officers passing by on the road are not much different from modern cities.

As the Red River Valley councillors led by Gray won the battle of the Mithril Mine, the Red River Valley's reputation in the surrounding areas began to rise, and more and more people chose to settle in the Red River Valley.

Gray combined his knowledge and experience from his previous life and issued preferential support policies for business travelers from the Kingdom of Dru and other places in the vast Central Region.

It can be predicted that the Red River Valley will usher in a small period of rapid development in the future.

The Red River Valley’s positioning as a trading city cannot be abandoned, but the development of other industries must also keep up.

Gray has recently visited Holm in person to talk to him, asking him to recruit several magicians from the Southern Territory. Perhaps some of his ideas could be realized then.
