Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 44 Letter

"This is the knight-level breathing method!" Robin muttered subconsciously.

He seemed to have opened a door to a whole new world and felt unprecedented energy surging in his body.

Then, without any hesitation, he drank the two bottles of apprentice breathing secret medicine in one breath. The strong smell of the medicine spread in his mouth. He quickly adjusted his state and closed his eyes to practice.

The apprentice-level secret medicine is of great use to him now, but it is still much faster than practicing alone at ordinary times.

That night, Robin was immersed in the world of cultivation, and time passed quickly.

The two apprentice-level secret medicines were incredibly effective, allowing him to practice until dawn.

When he slowly opened his eyes and checked the results of his practice, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the Earth Dragon Breathing Technique had increased his experience points by a hundred in one breath.

This significant improvement makes him full of confidence in his future strength growth.

He felt his body. Although he had gone through a night of high-intensity training and taken secret medicine, fortunately the impact was not significant. His body was still full of energy and he could still work normally.

After completing his daily training, Robin went to the blacksmith shop as usual.

He tied on an apron, picked up the hammer, and began to work hard at ironing.

The fire burned brightly, illuminating his resolute face. He knew that a major change might be imminent, and he had to forge the two weapons he had in mind before then.

In the eyes of others, Robin may have been hit hard by Lily's death, and from then on, he only did three things every day.

Training in combat skills, blacksmithing, and breathing techniques.

Thompson also began to follow Eric to carry out missions, but it had become a normal thing for Eric to hang out in Lord Valentine's camp from time to time.

"Father, that stinking knight is here again!" Tevez's face was filled with rage. He paced back and forth in the room, his voice full of arrogance and impatience. "He's just a lowly civilian knight's apprentice! If I had known earlier, I would have killed that knight too."

Whenever he thought of Eric, he was so angry that his teeth itched. That guy was like a sticky candy that he couldn't get rid of. He kept hanging around nearby every day, making him very irritated.

Lord Valentine sat in his chair, his brows knitted into a "川" character, his face full of annoyance, but now that things had come to this, he had no other choice. "What do you know!" He glared at his son and said unhappily,
"The enemy is already a full-fledged knight, not some knight's apprentice who can be easily manipulated and killed and then paid a small sum of money to settle the matter. If we really do that, it might trigger a war between the two lords, and then we will be in big trouble!"

Lord Valentine knew clearly that Eric was wandering around outside the territory for ulterior motives. He was clearly waiting for Tevez to appear so that he could find an opportunity to challenge him to a knight duel.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Tevez had just arrived at the Cavaliers and was not strong enough to crush Eric. If they dueled, if that guy went crazy and exchanged injuries for injuries, any mishap would be more trouble than gain.

"How about sending some capable knights to drive him away?" Tevez rolled his eyes and offered an idea.

"You're overthinking it!" Lord Valentine interrupted before he could finish. "Eric has other knights watching him. They'll stop us the moment we show up. Also, I have a feeling that Grand Knight Damia has been watching us from the shadows. If we're not careful, the situation could get out of control."

Tevez deflated when he heard this. He slumped down in his chair, muttering, "What should we do? Just let him wander around right under our noses?"

Lord Valentine remained silent, his own mind agonizing over how to resolve this thorny issue. A knight hurried into the room, his steps light but his expression tinged with nervousness. He bowed slightly and spoke cautiously, "My Lord, someone has delivered this letter with the family crest on it."

Hearing this, Lord Valentine's already irritable mood became even more suspicious, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

The family crest signifies that the letter comes from within the family and has a reason.

He reached out to take the letter, and the texture of it made him realize that it was unusual.

Lord Valentine slowly opened the parchment envelope and pulled out the letter. As soon as he glanced at a few lines of words, his expression changed drastically.

He stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, the muscles on his face twitched slightly with anger, and he looked terribly gloomy.

"This... this was a beautiful move that fooled everyone!" Lord Valentine said gritting his teeth, his voice full of uncontrollable anger.

The contents of the letter were like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart hard, making his already difficult situation even more complicated.

Tevez was startled by his father's behavior. He quickly stood up and walked over to him and asked, "Father, what's wrong? What's in the letter?"

Lord Valentine did not answer immediately. He just slammed the letter on the table and paced back and forth, thinking quickly about how to deal with the situation.

The news brought by this letter may completely change the current situation, and he must make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise the entire family may be doomed.

The next morning, before the first ray of sunlight had completely dispelled the morning mist, Lord Valentine rushed to Lord Blot's mansion in a hurry.

"Blot, something terrible has happened!" Lord Valentine rushed straight to the point as soon as he entered the room, without even a moment's greeting. "I've received reliable information that wizards are active nearby, and there are suspected to be two wizard apprentices among them!"

Lord Blot was still feeling a bit lazy after waking up in the morning, but upon hearing this, he instantly woke up and his expression became extremely serious: "Wizard? Are you sure?"

"Confirmed! One of them has reached the rank of third-class wizard apprentice, and his strength is comparable to that of a Grand Knight." Lord Valentine's voice was low and rapid. "Add to that the wizard's unpredictable fighting style. Without the siege of four Grand Knights, he would be impossible to defeat."

Lord Blot's brows were twisted into a knot, as he knew very well how terrifying wizards were.

Those strange spells and abilities beyond ordinary people's imagination can turn the tide of battle in an instant.

If those remnants really reach the level of third-class wizard apprentices, his territory will face an unprecedented crisis.

"We must organize a joint force to encircle and suppress them as soon as possible!" Lord Blot ordered decisively, "Call all lords and hold an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures. This matter cannot be delayed. If the wizards are allowed to grow stronger, the consequences will be disastrous."

Lord Valentine nodded in agreement. "That's what I meant. However, gathering sufficient forces will require time and coordination. We must act quickly, but at the same time, we must be cautious and not alert the enemy."

The two looked at each other and saw deep worry in each other's eyes.

However, when Lord Valentine left with his back to Lord Blot, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and the coldness in his eyes was hard to conceal.
