Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 175 Pavel Continent

Even the old cat who brought Robin to the West didn't know that he had mastered the dragon-eating breathing technique.

Lady Aisha seemed very satisfied with his reaction, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. "Don't be nervous. I'm just curious. Why would a 'wanted criminal' who was exiled from the South appear here?"

Robin's throat tightened, but he quickly calmed down. He whispered, "Since Madam knows my identity, she should understand that I have no interest in Duke Hawke."

"Oh?" Lady Aisha raised an eyebrow. "Then what are you interested in? Viscount Brian's sword? Or... me?"

Robin was silent.

He couldn't tell her that what he really cared about was the account books of the Wilk family in the Duke of Hawke's Mansion.

Outside the shadows, the Grey Knight's patience seemed to be running out.

"Ma'am, this is my last warning." His voice was as cold as ice, "Hand over Robin, or else!"

"Otherwise?" Lady Aisha chuckled. "Otherwise, the Knights Guild will declare war on me? Can you represent the Knights Guild?"

Her tone suddenly became dangerous, and the shadow area suddenly shrank. Robin could even feel the darkness around him become sharper, like countless tiny blades moving around.

"Don't forget, Grey Knight," she said slowly, "this is my territory, not the training ground for your Knights Guild."

The Grey Knight was silent for a moment.

Then, Robin heard the sound of chains rubbing against each other, which was his broken blade gathering power.

"Then try it."

Before he could finish his words, the shadow realm was suddenly torn apart!

A blinding white light struck the darkness like lightning. Robin subconsciously closed his eyes, but the expected pain did not come.

Because Lady Aisha had already pulled him back three steps, her skirt billowing like a living thing, forming a dark barrier in front of her.

"Tsk, what a hassle." She sighed softly, then turned her head and whispered to Robin: "Get ready, my music master, we should go."

"Leave?" Robin was stunned. "How do we leave?"

Mrs. Aisha did not answer, but took out a black feather from her sleeve and blew it gently.

next second.

The shadow exploded, and countless ravens emerged from the darkness, covering the entire night sky!
Robin felt his feet go empty and he seemed to fall into a bottomless abyss.

In his last consciousness, he heard the Grey Knight's angry roar and Lady Aisha's faint laughter:
"Next time we meet, remember to return this favor."

Then, the world fell into darkness.

When Robin opened his eyes again, he found himself lying in an unfamiliar forest.

The moonlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, illuminating a dilapidated wooden house not far away.

A familiar figure stood in front of the door of the wooden house.

Wind chimes.

She played with the pocket watch in her hand and looked at him with a half-smile:
"Oh, the lady really likes you very much. In order to save you, she is willing to go against the Duke?"

Robin: "..."

Robin slowly rose from the ground, brushed off the dead leaves, and glanced around warily. The forest was eerily silent, not even the chirping of insects. Only the ticking of the pocket watch between his fingers was distinctly heard in the night.

"She didn't save me." Robin's voice was slightly hoarse. "She just didn't want the Grey Knights to run wild in the territory of the Raven Family."

Feng Ling chuckled softly, and with a flick of her finger, the metal cover of the pocket watch snapped shut. She tilted her head, her amber pupils gleaming with a cat-like cunning in the moonlight. "Really? But as far as I know, Lady Eshar would never use the Raven's Shadow for anyone insignificant." Robin didn't respond.

He certainly knew what "Raven's Shadow" meant—it was the life-saving trump card of the Crow Family's matriarch, and every time it was used, it would consume ten years of her lifespan. Lady Aisha would not have paid such a price for him without reason.

Unless... she has other intentions.

"So, what does she want?" Robin stared at Feng Ling. "Are you and her in cahoots?"

Feng Ling blinked and pretended to be innocent: "Oh, were you discovered?"

Robin: "..."

He should have thought of it earlier. Feng Ling could accurately predict his teleportation point, and appeared so quickly, she was definitely not just an ordinary maid.
"What are you looking for?" Feng Ling suddenly asked.

Robin narrowed his eyes, "I don't know what you're talking about?"

"Don't play dumb." Feng Ling's smile faded a bit. "The Wilk family's account books contain key evidence of their illegal mining of mithril mines over the past twenty-two years. Wasn't that the reason you broke into Duke Hawke's mansion? But which force sent you here? The Round Table Council? Or the Knights Guild?"

Robin's breathing hitched slightly.

She even knows this?
Feng Ling took a step forward. The moonlight outlined her slender figure, but made her eyes look particularly sharp. "Robin, we are not enemies. Lady Aisha saved you because we need your 'Dragon Devouring Breathing Technique'."

Robin's muscles tensed instantly.

The Dragon Devouring Breathing Technique is his biggest secret, even the old cat who helped him escape from the southern border doesn't know it!

This ancient secret technique originated from the descendants of dragons and can devour magic power and even temporarily steal the opponent's domain ability.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to break through to the Order Knight so quickly. The system was one aspect, but the Dragon Devouring Breathing Technique also played a crucial role.

But now, Feng Ling said it lightly.

"What on earth do you want to do?" Robin's voice was low and dangerous.

Feng Ling sighed, took out a gold-embossed letter from her bosom, and handed it to him: "Read it yourself."

Robin took it and unfolded the letter in the moonlight.

There was only one line of text on it: "The passage to the Pavel Continent will soon open."

"What is the continent of Pavel?" Robin asked puzzledly.

"You're really a frog in a well. Compared to the Pavel continent, our continent is just a larger island."

Hearing this, Robin couldn't help but gasp.

Robin's fingertips felt slightly cold, and the handwriting on the letter paper glowed with a strange silver light in the moonlight.

"The continent of Pavel..." he repeated in a low voice, scattered records in ancient books flashing through his mind - that was the legendary "Land of Dragons", the birthplace of magical civilization, which had severed ties with the human world thousands of years ago.

But now, the channel is going to be reopened?
"What do you want me to do?" Robin looked up, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

A mysterious arc appeared at the corner of Feng Ling's lips. She gently turned the hands of her pocket watch, and the air around her suddenly rippled.

"It's not that 'we' want you to do something," she corrected. "It's that 'we' need you. I heard that a big shot will come here to pick you up in a year."

As she finished speaking, the pocket watch clicked open, and a holographic map appeared on the dial.

When Robin heard the name of that big shot, he immediately thought of Melinda.
