The Strongest Knight

"What do you mean by unanimously agreeing that I am more suitable to be in charge of contacting the envoys of the Canyon Mage Group?"

Gray glanced at the file and rolled his eyes.

Continuing to read, Holm actually wrote down the reasons one by one.

The interests and demands of the Red River Valley have been discussed in Holm's study, and the four of them have bottom-line estimates for both the high and low points.

The same should be true for the Canyon Mage Corps. The envoys came with their own profit distribution plan, so only one person needs to negotiate with the envoy of the Mage Corps one-on-one, and finally hold a full-staff meeting to confirm the details of the battle.

Angelet, who was arrogant and had no idea what to do, was excluded.

The fishman Min has a high IQ and a calm and delicate personality, but he is a foreigner. If Min comes forward, the arrogant mages will think that the Red River Valley does not take the Canyon Mage Group seriously.

Holm himself was originally a good candidate for negotiations, but the envoy sent by Candy Canyon had some conflicts with him, so he had to choose to avoid it temporarily.

This leaves Gray as the only candidate left.

Gray has a knight's sense of justice, a tough yet beautiful appearance, and a high IQ. He can attack the enemy head-on, but can also secretly lay down plans in the dark... He is truly the perfect choice for negotiating cooperation plans.

At the end of the document sent by Holm, there was a burst of praise for Gray.

Even though Gray was calm, his face turned red and he couldn't help but spit, "Bullshit!"

Gray had some doubts that the words at the end were written by Angelet.

"Sir, what's going on?" Giroud came up and asked considerately. He rarely saw Gray lose his composure.

"It's okay, um...you should get ready tomorrow, there are guests coming to the castle." After thinking about it, Gray decided to take on this responsibility.

Although Holm and the other two threw this task to him without his knowledge, on the other hand, after a long period of cooperation, the three of them had full trust in Gray and believed that Gray would not let Red River Valley suffer any losses.

"According to which level should it be arranged?" Giroud's eyes lit up. This was the first time that Gray issued a task involving a formal visit from a guest.

"Top-notch... Never mind, let's save some money and go for the next level." Gray touched his bald head, thinking of the cost of arranging a top-notch banquet given by Giroud, and decisively downgraded a level.

I think given the mages' tradition of hard work, they won't pay too much attention to these details.

"I understand, sir." Giroud immediately took his leave. The cost of the next level welcoming banquet was also about 30 gold coins, so he had to start preparing it immediately.

"A member of the Mage Corps, Freya, a first-level mage." Gray's eyes fell back on the information of the envoy sent by Candy Canyon.

Freya, 45 years old, is a first-level fire mage with a hot temper.

"How should I deal with an aunt with a hot temper?" Gray carefully looked through his own memories, looking for ways to deal with it.

......

In the early morning, the increasingly prosperous Red River Valley city is bustling with people.

According to statistics, the population of the Red River Valley has increased by nearly 210 in the period after the Battle of Mithril Mine, and the total population has reached million.

Driven by the increase in population, the urban edge of the Red River Valley continues to expand to the surrounding areas, expanding the urban area even further.

At the southern entrance of the city, two graceful figures in white robes entered the city and walked along the street, taking in the surrounding environment.

"The Red River Valley is becoming more and more prosperous!" The older-looking of the two figures couldn't help but sigh.

She has red hair and her facial features appear to be around twenty-five or twenty-six, but if you look closely you can see the wrinkles around the eyes and neck and the maturity in her eyes.

This person is a member of the Candy Canyon Mage Corps—a first-class fire mage, Freya Modina.

Freya remembered that eight years ago, when she arrived in the Red River Valley, the streets here were not so wide and the people in the city were not so vibrant.

Eight years later, not only has the urban population of the Red River Valley doubled, but people here are also clearly living a more affluent life.

After experiencing the Battle of the Mithril Mine, the confidence on the faces of the residents of the Red River Valley was almost written all over their faces.

"Holm, he's quite capable." Freya muttered silently in her heart.

"Teacher, why are there so many alien races in the Red River Valley?"

Beside Freya, a smaller, brown-haired trainee wizard looked at a long-eared rabbit man walking by with surprise and spoke softly.

"...Red River Valley is a commercial city. It's normal that the people coming and going have complex races. Moreover, the political center of Red River Valley is different from ours. Even among the four members of the Red River Valley, there is an alien fishman serving as a member of the council." Freya said.

The beautiful brown-haired female trainee mage covered her mouth in surprise when she heard this. "Are the residents of the Red River Valley willing to let a foreign race lead them?"

Freya rubbed her forehead with a headache. She had always been an idiot when it came to political matters.

"Shut up, Anna! You're not a resident of the Red River Valley, so how do you know they don't want to?"

Faced with a disciple who is like a curious baby, Freya has her own special way of dealing with it.

Seeing that the teacher started to lose her temper, the apprentice magician named Anna was not afraid. She stuck out her tongue and shut her mouth obediently. It was obvious that she was often scolded like this by her teacher.

"It's Lady Freya, right? My teacher has prepared a banquet in the castle. You are welcome to the Red River Valley." A heroic female figure appeared in front of the two of them.

"Who is your teacher?" Freya looked at the tall female knight apprentice in front of her and felt a little uncomfortable.

From the perspective of female charm alone, the figure of a woman who has been trained by a knight is absolutely incomparable to that of a female mage.

"My name is Amy, and my teacher is Senator Gray." Amy responded calmly, as if she didn't hear Freya's condescending tone.

Gray?

Anna, the disciple beside Freya, who had always shown a gentle face, suddenly froze.

This familiar name reminded her of a strong and determined young man.

He was the strongest person she had ever met.

It was because of the influence of that young man that she chose another path and eventually found her own opportunity. Until now, she has become an extraordinary person who is superior to ordinary people.

I wonder if he fulfilled his wish and became a Dru Knight?

With his perseverance, he should have succeeded, right?

If we meet again, I will definitely tell you my name. Will it be the encounter between a wizard and a knight?

As she thought about it, Anna couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.

"Okay, lead the way." Freya slapped Anna on the back of the head rudely, waking her up from her fantasy, and spoke to Amy.

"Please follow me, Lady Freya." Amy took a long step forward.

Anna hurried to catch up with her teacher and the female knight apprentice.

Do you want to visit the castle of Councillor Gray? It is said that this Gray is very powerful, comparable to Lord Wells, the Grand Elder of the Mage Corps, and is good at conspiracy and intrigue.

Thinking of this, Anna looked at her naive teacher and couldn't help but worry secretly.
