Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 127 Infiltration
Lena's peaceful life was soon broken.

The power of the Wizard Council gradually penetrated into every corner of the city of Obedi, and they began to suppress and persecute the noble families in the city.

"The Wizard Council has set its sights on our family's wealth and influence, and is trying to control the finances of Obedi City by controlling us." Lena's voice was filled with anger. "They first sent someone to secretly threaten my father, demanding that he hand over the family's financial power. However, my father refused their request."

A trace of pain flashed in Lena's eyes: "The Wizard Council did not give up. They began to spread rumors, accusing our family of colluding with the enemy country and trying to overthrow the rule of Obeidi City.

Although Marquis Sonata trusted my father, under pressure from the Wizard Council, he had to temporarily deprive our family of its power."

The Wizard Council's persecution did not stop. They sent a high-level wizard, Morris Black Crow, to sneak into the West family's mansion and cast a terrible curse magic.

"That night, shrill screams suddenly rang out in the mansion." Lena's voice trembled. "My mother, brother, sister, and all the servants were corrupted by the curse and transformed into mindless monsters."

A tear flashed in Lena's eyes, but she quickly suppressed her emotion: "My father tried his best to protect us, but he was no match for Morris. In the end, he fell in front of me, and before he died, he only said one sentence to me: 'Live and avenge us.'"

With her father's help, Lena managed to escape the mansion. She hid in the city's slums, leading a life of wandering. Once a daughter of nobility, she was now a homeless wanderer.

"During that time, I spent every day in pain and hatred." There was a hint of coldness in Lena's voice. "I knew that the Wizarding Council would not let me go. They wanted to completely wipe out the existence of our family."

Lena was not defeated by hatred. She began to secretly contact other families and forces persecuted by the Wizard Council and formed a resistance organization - "Silver Fox".

"We have been waiting for an opportunity to completely overthrow the rule of the Wizarding Council." Lena's voice was firm. "As long as you can provide support, we are willing to cooperate with you."

"It's Morris again."

After listening to Lena's story, Robin felt a strong surge of anger and sympathy in his heart.

The crimes of the Wizarding Council were far worse than he had imagined.

"Ms. Lena, I'm deeply saddened by your experience." Robin said solemnly, "We at the Minerva Knight Academy will fully support you in our fight against the Wizard Council."

A hint of gratitude flashed in Lena's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure: "Thank you for your support. However, the Wizard Council is very powerful. We only have one chance to attack. If we fail, there will be no chance again."

Robin nodded: "We understand. Next, we need to formulate a thorough plan to completely defeat the Wizarding Council."

………………

At night in the city of Obeidi, the moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, and a light mist filled the streets.

Acton quietly appeared in a remote abandoned warehouse in the east of the city.

He wore a dark grey robe, the hood covering most of his face, revealing only a pair of eyes that shone with a dim light. Inside the warehouse, a man in a black robe had been waiting for a while.

Acton took off his hood, revealing a stern face with a faint smile on his lips: "Morris, I didn't expect it to be you who came to meet me."

The black-robed man was Morris Black Crow, a First Ring wizard of the Wizard Council and an old acquaintance of Acton. Upon hearing Acton's words, his face darkened, and he spoke with a hint of displeasure, "Acton, stop teasing me. I heard you suffered a great loss at the hands of Count Feblin a while ago."

Acton chuckled, a hint of teasing in his tone, "I'm not as unlucky as you. I heard that a few little guys ruined your business and even lost the Soul Devouring Crystal?"

Morris's expression darkened, and his tone was filled with annoyance. "Don't mention it. Why are you so anxious to contact the parliament? What's the problem with that old man Sonata?"

Acton's expression grew serious, and he nodded. "When I visited the old man today, I noticed a lot of new faces around him. They were all from the Minerva Knight Academy."

Morris's brow furrowed slightly, his tone carrying a hint of caution. "Minerva Knight Academy? Why would they suddenly get involved in the affairs of Obedi City?"

Acton shook his head, his tone solemn. "I don't know either. But those people from the Knight Academy are clearly not here for sightseeing. Their goal is clear: to protect Marquis Sonata."

A cold look flashed in Morris's eyes. "It seems they've discovered our plan. If the Minerva Knight Academy gets involved, things will become very troublesome."

Acton nodded, a hint of worry in his tone. "That's right. Those guys in the Knight Academy are quite powerful, especially that young man named Alan Wilk Wolft. His talent and potential are terrifying. He's already a great knight at such a young age."

Morris was silent for a moment, then whispered, "We must act quickly. If the people from the Knight Academy disrupt our plan, the losses to the Council will be immeasurable."

A hint of coldness flashed in Acton's eyes. "I have already placed spies in the mansion, ready to monitor Marquis Sonata's movements at any time. However, we need more forces to deal with the people from the Knight Academy."

Morris nodded, his tone firm, "I will ask the parliament for support and dispatch more high-level wizards. No matter what, we can't let the people from the Knight Academy succeed."

Acton's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a sneer. "Don't worry, Morris. Marquis Sonata's mansion is already under my control. As soon as the people from the Hand of Forth arrive, we can take action immediately."

The Hand of Firth is the black glove of the Wizarding Council, specializing in dealing with shady matters.

As Acton left, Morris's face darkened.

Not only was the Soul-Devouring Crystal lost, but the Knight Academy was also captured that time because of that illegitimate son of Alan Wilk Wolft, and now he has appeared again.

"This time, if I don't kill you, I won't be called Black Crow anymore." Morris didn't say anything about the loss he suffered at the hands of Robin. After all, this was also his scandal.
