The Strongest Knight

late at night.

In Grey Castle, in the room of the wizard who is still unaware that his disciple has been kidnapped.

Freya closed the doors and windows.

Sensing that no one was eavesdropping, Freya took out five magic stones from her storage bag.

Arrange the holographic communication array according to the pentagram formation.

After typing in a specific communication code, energy ripples connecting the two began to appear in the middle of the magic circle.

After lasting for more than ten seconds, there was a humming sound, the ripples disappeared, and a ray of energy rose from the magic circle and condensed into a human figure.

The figure was a man with gray hair, looking quite old, but with his neatly combed back hair and sharp eyes, he had a very powerful aura.

From the communication array, it can be seen that he is in a laboratory-like location, with experimental instruments placed behind him.

"Lord Wells, the councillors from the Red River Valley are so abominable!" Freya said to the figure who answered the holographic communication. It turned out that this person was the supreme leader of Candy Canyon, the second-level wizard Wells.

Freya made a series of negative comments to Wells about Gray's performance during the day.

This Gray sees things very clearly. In the laboratory, Wells sighed.

Forget it, let’s win over the Red River Valley first and resolve our own crisis.

"Let Congressman Gray present his benefit plan. As long as it is not too outrageous, we can accept it." Wells spoke directly without too much thought.

"What? Sir, why do you have to give in?" Freya was a little confused.

"Just do as I say." Wells frowned and said.

Freya gritted her teeth and said, "I am also one of the six members of the Mage Group. I have the right to know the significance of your decision!"

Wells shook his head. "It was a wrong decision to send you to the Red River Valley, my disciple. Even if you didn't notice anything, don't you still trust your teacher?"

Freya raised her head stubbornly: "Teacher, I want to know everything!"

"Okay." Wells was a little disappointed with the performance of this disciple. He was not young anymore, so why was he still so stubborn?

"Not only the Longnei Highlands, but also the wizards in the Merry Mountains to the south are ready to attack us."

"You are not so naive as to think that those wizards invited us to hold an apprentice competition last month in order to promote the future progress of both regions?"

"Kanti Canyon has been attacked from all sides!"

"So, now that you know everything, do you still have the confidence to fight for the interests of Candy Canyon when facing the councilors of Red River Valley again? My disciple, Freya!"

Freya hung up the holographic communication in a daze. It was already late at night, but she had no desire to sleep.

......

In the early morning, Freya's eyes were a little red after staying up all night.

She was now somewhat dazed.

On the one hand, I am worried about the current situation of Candy Canyon.

On the one hand, she really didn't know how to face Gray.

Candy Canyon is already so dangerous. We have already come to the Red River Valley for help. How can we still be qualified to talk about the distribution of benefits?

As expected, I am not a qualified leader. It is right that the teacher only lets me be responsible for training and teaching students. Freya sighed.

Freya wanted to talk to her cute, naive disciple.

She asked the maid about the room where the disciple was, but was told that Ms. Anna was waiting in the dining room in the side hall.

Freya, who was a little tired, did not notice the change in the maid's way of addressing Anna.

The maid was very considerate and led the way, taking Freya to the side hall.

Freya suddenly frowned. She found that her disciple was chatting and laughing with Senator Gray while tasting the food on the table. Moreover, the distance between the two was too close...

"Anna!" Freya raised her voice.

Anna finally noticed Freya's presence and said with a smile: "Teacher! Good morning!"

"Come here." Freya looked unhappy.

Anna finally noticed the abnormality in the teacher's expression. She glanced at Gray, and at the latter's slight nod, Anna stood up and walked towards Freya.

Freya noticed this detail, which made her look even uglier.

"What's wrong with you?" When Anna came in front of her, Freya frowned and asked directly.

Anna blinked her eyes and said, "Teacher, I'm fine!"

Freya stared at Anna for a few seconds, then turned to look at Gray who was still sitting in his seat.

"Councilman Grey, are you trying to deceive my apprentice?"

Gray's face was calm, but he was already angry. Deceiving?

Is this old woman crazy? Why is she showing off so early in the morning?

Don’t say that I knew Anna earlier than you. Even if I didn’t, do you still have the right to interfere with your disciple’s freedom of marriage and love?

Anna saw Gray's anger and quickly blocked the teacher's sight: "Teacher, you misunderstood, Gray and I actually knew each other before."

Freya didn't even dare to call the man by his name, but her disciple called Gray by his name so naturally.

This made Freya even more certain that her disciple had been deceived by this man who appeared gentle on the surface but was actually sinister at heart.

"Don't be ridiculous, Anna. Have you ever been out of Candy Canyon in the past two years since I brought you out of Drew?"

"Or did you, Senator Gray, come to Candy Canyon just to meet a trainee wizard who is not even an apprentice?" Freya turned her head slightly, walked around Anna, and looked at Gray with a mocking look.

"Wake up, Anna. What kind of power and status does this man have? Why would he like you? He is just playing with you! Come with me! You need to wake up!"

Freya took Anna's hand and tried to take her away from here so that this disciple could wake up!

Anna shook off Freya's hand without hesitation.

Last night, she confided to Gray what had happened over the past two years.

Gray also selectively revealed his experiences over the past two years.

Anna's experience is very common. She is a person with magical talent hidden among the people. A distant relative brought her an opportunity. She mustered up the courage to take a talent test and then changed her destiny.

Gray's experience was more complicated. Gray selectively revealed some things. Anna was not as naive as he looked. She immediately realized that Gray's identity as a native of the Dru Kingdom must not be revealed.

So now when she faced the teacher, she found herself unable to explain.

"Teacher, I have decided to stay in Grey Castle." Anna couldn't explain too much in order not to bring danger to Grey, so she could only say this.

Freya looked in surprise at the well-behaved disciple whom she had carefully nurtured for two years.

What happened this night?

The well-behaved disciple actually chose to turn to a stranger he just met after one night?

For power and status? No, Anna is not that kind of person, otherwise I would not have accepted her as my disciple.

Freya looked at Gray again: "I warn you, no matter what method you used on Anna, you must untie it now."
