Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 123 See Through
Robin quickly swung his sword to block, and the blade collided with the energy blade, making a harsh sound of metal friction.

He flipped in the air, avoiding Torres' attack, and then suddenly landed on the ground, with the sword pointing directly at Torres' throat.

Cut the throat with a knife.

Torres fell to the ground, the dark light in his eyes gradually fading. A trace of resentment lingered on his face as he murmured, "Why...why do I always lose to you..."

Robin looked at him coldly and whispered, "Because you have always been blinded by hatred."

With Torres's fall, the attack of the Wizarding Council was gradually brought under control.

On the streets of the grand ceremony, the flames and smoke gradually dissipated, replaced by people's weeping and sighing.

Robin stood in the middle of the street, his eyes scanning the ruins around him.

"Robin, we won." Elena walked to his side and said softly.

Robin nodded, a firm look in his eyes: "Yes, but we still have a lot to do."

Elina smiled slightly, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes: "No matter how difficult the future is, I will fight alongside you."

Robin looked at her in surprise, then smiled: "Thank you, Elena."

The knights of the academy began to organize the aftermath, treating the wounded, comforting the people, and clearing the debris from the streets.

Chamberlain walked up to Robin, his voice humbly and respectfully, a hint of fatigue in his tone: "Master, I have fulfilled my mission. This time the Wizard Council is truly insane."

Robin shook his head and whispered, "Crazy, this is just the beginning. The attack by the Wizard Council is just a signal, their real goal is far more than that."

Chamberlain frowned, a hint of worry in his tone: "Are you saying that they have a bigger conspiracy?"

Robin nodded, a cold look flashing in his eyes: "That's right. Torres is just their pawn, the real mastermind is still in the dark."

At this moment, an academy messenger hurried over and said respectfully to Robin, "Sir Robin, Vice President Melinda asks you to go to the academy meeting room immediately."

Robin and Elena looked at each other, a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Vice President Melinda is one of the three vice presidents of the college, and her summons obviously means something important.

"I'll go with you." Elina said softly, with a hint of determination in her tone.

Robin nodded, and the two of them walked towards the academy.

In the academy's meeting room, Melinda sat in a high-backed chair, fiddling with an exquisite silver pocket watch. Her expression was calm, but her eyes held a deep, unfathomable coldness.

"Robin, you're here." Melinda's voice was gentle but carried undeniable authority. "You performed very well in the attack at this ceremony."

Robin bowed slightly, his tone showing a hint of respect: "This is what I should do, Vice-President."

Melinda nodded, a hint of meaning flashing in her eyes. She slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked towards the city of Obeidi.

"This attack is just a suspicion of the Wizard Council." Melinda's voice was low and calm. "Their real target is the lord of Obedi City - Marquis Sonata." Robin frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his tone: "Marquis Sonata? He is one of the most powerful nobles in the three western provinces. Why would the Wizard Council target him?"

Melinda turned around and looked directly at Robin. "Marquis Sonata is one of the few forces in the three western provinces that can check and balance the Wizard Council. If he dies, Obedi City will fall completely under the control of the Wizard Council. By then, the entire three western provinces will be theirs."

Robin's heart trembled, realizing the seriousness of the problem. "If the Wizard Council takes control of Obedi City, their power will expand rapidly, and may even threaten the security of Minerva City and the entire West."

Melinda nodded, a hint of coldness in her tone: "That's right. The life and death of Marquis Sonata is related to the fate of the entire West. We must stop the conspiracy of the Wizard Council."

Robin was silent for a moment, then raised his head with a firm look in his eyes: "Vice-President, what do you mean?"

Melinda's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. "From today on, the battle with the Wizard Council will shift from being carried out in secret to being carried out openly. We need to take the initiative, not just defend ourselves."

Melinda walked up to Robin, her eyes scrutinizing him. "Robin, I'm pleased with your strength and wisdom. I hope you can accept an important mission—to go to Obedi City, protect Marquis Sonata, and investigate the true conspiracy of the Wizard Council."

Robin's heart trembled as he realized the difficulty of this task.

The city of Obedi is the sphere of influence of the Wizarding Council, and Marquis Sonata is obviously in a very dangerous situation.

He immediately fell into hesitation. He was just a small legendary knight. Going to the headquarters of the Western Wizard Council would be courting death.
"Mr. Vice President, I think I still..."

Before Robin could finish his words, Melinda smiled and said, "Such a young legendary knight is very rare."

As soon as these words came out, Robin's face changed instantly. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

The identity of the legendary knight is one of his biggest secrets, and he has never revealed it to anyone. How did Melinda know it?
"Mr. Vice President, what are you talking about?" Robin pretended to be calm, with a hint of doubt and vigilance in his tone.

He looked directly at Melinda, trying to read her expression.

Melinda smiled slightly, with a hint of unfathomable meaning in her eyes.

She slowly approached Robin, her breath as sweet as orchid, her voice soft but filled with unquestionable authority: "It's okay, I won't tell anyone else about this. However, if you listen to me and do what I say, I can also help you obtain the benefits that a legendary knight deserves."

Her voice brushed Robin's ears like a feather, carrying a hint of warmth.

Robin swallowed subconsciously, and his heartbeat involuntarily quickened a few beats.

His eyes unconsciously swept over Melinda's graceful figure, but he quickly forced himself to calm down.

"Something's wrong..." Robin's heart was filled with alarm. He was a skilled artisan who had seen countless movies. What kind of beauty had he not seen?
Especially in a world where artificial beauties are prevalent, he has never lost his mind because of beauty.

At this moment, Melinda made him feel an irresistible attraction.

"Vice-President, I don't understand what you mean." Robin tried to remain calm, a hint of alienation in his tone. "I'm just an ordinary knight student. How can I be a legendary knight?"

Melinda chuckled, a hint of teasing in her eyes. "Alan, no, it should be Robin Gabriel, the renowned archer from the northern Black Forest. You don't need to pretend in front of me. I can see through your strength and your thoughts. Your potential far exceeds that of ordinary people, and you've even touched the threshold of becoming a legendary knight. Such talent shouldn't be buried."
