Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 126 Resistance Organization
Meanwhile, Chamberlain traveled the streets of Obeidi City, searching for possible allies. He came upon a tavern called the Silver Fox, a gathering place for intelligence dealers and resistance forces in the city.

"I heard that you are a little dissatisfied with the Wizarding Council?" Chamberlain whispered to the tavern owner while sitting at the bar.

The tavern owner was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face. He looked at Chamberlain coldly, with a hint of caution in his tone: "Who are you?"

Chamberlain smiled slightly, his tone carrying a hint of confidence: "I'm from the Minerva Knight Academy. We're investigating the conspiracy of the Wizard Council. If you have any intelligence, we can cooperate."

The tavern owner was silent for a moment, then whispered, "If you really want to fight against the Wizarding Council, I can introduce you to someone."

………………

Robin and Elena stood in two corners, which were also the locations of two windows. This was convenient for them to break out in case of accidents.

Marquis Sonata was silent for a moment, then slowly stood up and walked to the window. He gazed through the window at the distant city lights, his tone a little tired, "I've long suspected there was a traitor in the mansion, but I never imagined it was someone from the Wizarding Council."

Robin and Elena exchanged a glance, each of them slightly shaken. Robin stepped forward and whispered, "Mr. Marquis, are you saying that someone from the Wizard Council has infiltrated the mansion?"

Marquis Sonata nodded, a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Yes. My chief wizard, Acton Sith, is a first-ring wizard and an important member of the Wizard Council. I originally thought he was just a wandering wizard, but I didn't expect him to be so hidden."

Acton is the chief wizard of the Marquis Sonata's mansion and possesses powerful magical powers.

On the surface, he worked for the Marquis, but in reality he was a pawn planted by the Wizarding Council next to the Marquis.

Acton has a high level of magical attainments, especially in illusion and curse magic, and is an important member of the Wizard Council that cannot be ignored.

"Acton is incredibly powerful. His illusions can even deceive legendary knights." Marquis Sonata said with a hint of fear, "If he were to attack me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to fight back."

As expected, none of these superiors are simple characters. They know that the other party is a traitor, but they can still pretend to be indifferent. This kind of mentality is something that Robin cannot learn even if he lives two lifetimes.

A true cunning old man.

Robin's brows furrowed slightly, his tone solemn: "My Lord Marquis, we must act quickly. Acton's presence is a huge threat to us."

Marquis Sonata nodded, his eyes firm, "What do you need me to do?"

Robin said in a deep voice, "First, we need your cooperation. Pretend you are unaware of Acton to avoid alerting him. Second, we need your help to unite other forces in the city and fight against the Wizard Council together."

Marquis Sonata was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Okay, I will fully cooperate with you. But you must ensure my safety."

Robin nodded solemnly. "My Lord Marquis, please rest assured. We will do our best to protect you. Of course, we are not yet convinced enough to convince you. However, I can reveal to you that the academy has dispatched a legendary knight to protect you this time."

Marquis Sonata's eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded with satisfaction.

With the cooperation of Marquis Sonata, Robin and Elena quickly took over the guard of the mansion.

They secretly replaced some of the guards to ensure the safety of the mansion.

At the same time, Robin also arranged several reliable knights from the academy to be responsible for protecting the Marquis' safety.

"Acton's magic is extremely dangerous. We must proceed with caution," Robin whispered to Elina, "especially his illusions. We could be easily harmed if we're not careful." Elina nodded, a hint of caution in her tone, "I will remain vigilant at all times to ensure the Marquis's safety."

The next morning, Acton arrived at the Marquis's study as usual, ready to report on the mansion's magical defenses. His gaze swept over Robin and Elena, his tone tinged with a hint of doubt, "Marquis, who are these two?"

Marquis Sonata smiled slightly, his tone casual, "Oh, these two are envoys sent by the Minerva Knight Academy, responsible for helping us strengthen the defense of the mansion."

A subtle chill flashed across Acton's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "I see. With the assistance of the Knight Academy, the mansion's security will surely be even more secure."

Robin took a step forward, his tone full of respect: "Lord Acton, I have long heard of your name. Your magical attainments are admirable."

Acton smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "You are too kind. I am just an ordinary wizard, serving the Marquis."

Robin's heart trembled slightly, realizing that Acton was extremely vigilant and that he had to be more careful in his next actions.

At the same time, Chamberlain also found a reliable ally in the city - a resistance force called "Silver Fox".

In a secret base in the city of Obedi, Robin and Elena met Lena, the leader of the "Silver Fox" resistance for the first time.

She is a tall woman with a stern face and an unyielding determination in her eyes.

Her long hair was as black as the night and fell casually on her shoulders. She wore a simple black robe and a sharp short sword at her waist.

Although she was dressed simply, her former aristocratic temperament could still be seen in her every move.

Lena's eyes swept over Robin and Elina, and there was a hint of caution in her tone: "Are you from the Minerva Knight Academy?"

Robin nodded, a hint of respect in his tone: "Yes, Ms. Lena. We heard that you are very familiar with the Wizarding Council and hope to cooperate with you."

A complex emotion flashed in Lena's eyes, and then she nodded slowly: "Come in, let's talk slowly."

In a dimly lit room in the base, Lena poured two cups of hot tea for Robin and Elena.

Her movements were graceful and calm, as if she still maintained her aristocratic demeanor. However, her eyes revealed a deep sense of fatigue and hatred.

"You want to know about my past, right?" Lena's voice was low and calm, as if she was telling a story that had nothing to do with her.

Robin nodded, a hint of apology in his tone: "If you are willing to share."

Lena was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "I was once the eldest daughter of the Wester family, the most prominent noble family in Obedi City.

My father was a close friend of Marquis Sonata and the Minister of Finance of Obeidi City. Our family has served Obeidi City for generations and is deeply loved by the people.

There was a hint of nostalgia in her voice, as if she had returned to a carefree time. "Back then, I lived a life of luxury. Every day, besides studying etiquette and magic, I attended various noble banquets. I thought this kind of life would continue forever."
