Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 140 Northern Territory
Robin finally agreed to Elena's request.

Just as Viscount Wilk said, the Knights Guild stood behind Elina.

After Melinda left, Robin seemed to have been forgotten by both the Knights Guild and the Round Table Council.

They no longer assist themselves and provide resources for cultivation.

Instead, it was my own parents who joined the Round Table Council.

After dinner, Robin stood alone on the balcony, looking out at the night sky to the north.

In the direction of Frost Fortress, an unnatural aurora could be vaguely seen - it was definitely not a natural phenomenon.

"Master." Chamberlain appeared quietly and handed over an unsigned letter. "Someone just delivered it."

There was a gear emblem printed on the envelope, which had been deliberately blurred with sealing wax, but Robin could still make it out - it was the symbol of the Mechanicus.

He opened the letter and found only one line of words inside:

"The remnants of the Mechanicus have gained new strength. Watch out! Be careful! —Melinda."

The night wind suddenly blew, and Robin's Tang sword made a low humming sound.

Robin shook his head helplessly. He had just had a year of peace and quiet, and now he was busy again.

If there is still half a year, he is confident that he can use the Dragon Devouring Breathing Method to break through to the Order Knight.

Viscount Wilk's territory borders the North. After meeting up with the people brought by Elena, they marched a hundred miles north to reach the North Wind Fortress at the border between the North and West.

The towering walls of North Wind Fortress are like a giant iron beast, stretching across the border between the West and the North.

On the black stone city walls, patrolling soldiers wore cold armor, and crossbowmen patrolled back and forth between the embrasures, keeping a tight watch.

Robin pulled the reins and squinted at the flags flying above the fortress - the Black Wolf Flag of the West was side by side with the Griffin Flag of the Royal Family, but more often on the city walls were the ice-blue battle flags of the Frost Eagle Family of the North.

"It seems the rumors are true." Elina rode closer and spoke in a low voice, "The Frosthawk Family has been very active recently, and the Grand Duke of the North doesn't seem to be paying attention to the orders from the capital."

Robin didn't answer, but just silently observed the deployment of the fortress.

Too strict.

This didn't look like a typical border garrison; it looked more like a state of war preparation. As Robin's group approached the city gate, a group of Northern cavalry stopped them.

The leading knight revealed a pair of sharp blue eyes under his helmet, and spoke in a cold and hard voice:

"People from the West? Pass."

Elina frowned and took out the Knights Guild badge: "We are the investigation team sent to Frost Fortress by the king's order."

The Northern Knight sneered, "The king's order? Here, we only recognize the orders of Grand Duke Frosthawk."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The knights of the Western Knights Guild behind Robin subconsciously pressed the hilts of their swords, while the spears of the Northern cavalry were slightly raised.

Just as the conflict was about to break out, a lazy voice suddenly came from the city wall:

"Oh my, so lively?"

Everyone looked up and saw a young man in a gorgeous fur robe leaning against the battlement, playing with an ice crystal ring in his hand.

He looked down with a smile, his eyes lingering on Robin for a moment.

"Let them in. This is the 'Legendary Lord' of the Wilk family."

To be called a legend is not a legend, but it will become a legend in the future.

The Northern Knight's expression changed, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally gave way reluctantly.

After entering the city, the man in the fur robe was already waiting at the city gate. He performed an exaggerated ceremony:

"Allow me to introduce myself—Alger Frosthawk, the good-for-nothing youngest son of the Grand Duke of the North."

Robin regarded him calmly.

Alger looked to be in his early twenties, with a handsome face that was almost feminine, and a cynical smile always on his lips.

But deep within those icy blue eyes, there was something sharp.

"I heard you're going to Frost Fortress?" Alger leaned closer and lowered his voice. "What a coincidence! I'm going there too. How about we come together?"

Elina frowned warily: "When did the Frost Eagle family become so enthusiastic about investigating the royal family?"

Alger laughed heartily. "This beautiful lady has misunderstood. I just..." His smile suddenly faded, and his voice grew colder. "I wanted to see if you could come back alive."

Chamberlain behind Robin suddenly burst out with his momentum, but was suppressed by Robin's hand in an instant.

Alger glanced at Robin in surprise. The method that could suppress a great knight in an instant, even if it was not a legendary knight, was at least the peak of the great knight.

Alger secretly admired: "Legendary Lord Alan Wilk Wolft, his reputation is well-deserved!"

"You're too kind!" Robin shook his head and said, "I just don't want to do it. Otherwise, none of the knights here will leave alive."

Alger couldn't help but burst out laughing.
