Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 89 Soul Devouring Crystal
The energy in the black crystal continuously flowed into his body, his magic power fluctuations became stronger and stronger, and the surrounding air seemed to be distorted by this power.

Black lines appeared on his skin, like some ancient runes, flickering with the flow of magic.

Suddenly, Kajiani's body shook violently, his eyes suddenly opened, and a dark light flashed in his pupils.

His magic fluctuations reached its peak at this moment, the air around him seemed to solidify, and then a strong energy fluctuation erupted.

"Finally... a breakthrough!" Kajiani's voice was filled with excitement that was hard to conceal.

He slowly stood up, feeling the surging magic power in his body.

The energy of the black crystal allowed him to successfully break through to the level of a first-ring wizard, a realm he had dreamed of for many years.

Now, he is no longer the small character who can only hide in the shadows. He has initially acquired the power to compete with the Wizard Council and the Dark Wizards.

"Robin Gabriel..." Kajiani whispered the name, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "Do you think you can escape? You are just my scapegoat."

Kajiani walked to a corner of the secret room and opened an ancient wooden box, which was filled with all kinds of strange items - scrolls, potions, magical instruments, and even some bones emitting a strange smell.

He took out a tattered map from the box, on which were marked several important locations.

"Stanf College..." Kagany's finger slid across the map, finally stopping at the location of Tutankhamun City. "Robin, it's useless for you to hide there. The Wizard Council can't protect you, and the dark wizards won't let you go. And I will be the ultimate winner of this game."

A sneer appeared on Kajiani's lips, then he put the map away, turned around and left the secret room.

His plan has entered the most critical moment.

The energy of the Soul-Devouring Crystal gave him enough power. Next, he only needed to find Robin and kill him to cover up the secret of the Soul-Devouring Crystal.

At the same time, Robin, who was far away at Stanford College, had no idea that a conspiracy against him was quietly unfolding.

Robin sat on the edge of his bed in his Stanford College dormitory, clutching a gold coin inscribed with strange symbols, his brow furrowed. This coin, which he had retrieved from the secret chamber of a northern noble lord, was his only remaining clue. Although the Wizarding Council had imprisoned him here, ostensibly for his protection, he knew full well that he was merely a pawn, ready to be discarded at any moment.

"We must find out the secret of these gold coins as soon as possible..." Robin muttered to himself, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

Just then, there was a slight knock on the door.

"Roy, are you there?" a deep and familiar voice came.

Robin's heart tightened, and he quickly stood up and opened the door. Standing outside was none other than Old Cat. His figure was hidden under his cloak, and his face was unusually serious.

"Old Cat? Why are you here?" Robin asked in surprise, while looking around the corridor vigilantly to make sure there was no one else.

The old cat did not answer, but walked directly into the room, closed the door, and whispered: "Time is running out, I must talk to you."

Robin nodded, feeling vaguely uneasy. He knew that since the old cat had come to him personally, it must be something serious.

The old cat pulled out a gold coin from his pocket, the very same one that Robin had given him earlier. He whispered, "I've already found out the true purpose of these coins."

Robin's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "What are they?"

The old cat took a deep breath and said solemnly, "These gold coins are the carriers of the 'Soul Devouring Crystal'. Each gold coin contains a soul sealed by the Soul Devouring Crystal. The Soul Devouring Crystal is an extremely dangerous magical item that can devour life force and soul, providing the user with powerful power. Dark wizards and the Wizard Council are searching for them because their power is enough to change the entire landscape of the wizarding world."

Robin was shocked after hearing this. He had never imagined that these seemingly ordinary gold coins could hide such a terrifying secret.

"Then... why are these gold coins so easy for me to get?" Robin asked in a low voice.

The old cat shook his head. "I don't know the specific reason, but it's clear that you've been dragged into this huge conspiracy. The dark wizards and the Wizard Council are both looking for these gold coins, and you are their target."

Robin clenched his fists, his heart filled with anger and helplessness. He knew that he could no longer stay out of this.

"Old cat, are you looking for me for these gold coins?" Robin asked, looking straight into the old cat's eyes.

The old cat nodded, his tone pleading. "Robin, these gold coins are too dangerous. If you continue to hold on to them, not only will you be in danger, but it may also lead to a greater disaster. Give them to me, and I will handle them properly."

Robin was silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Although the old cat acted secretly, it never harmed him. On the contrary, it helped him many times at critical moments.

These gold coins are his only clues at the moment. If he hands them over, he may never be able to uncover the truth behind them.

"Old cat, if I hand over these gold coins, can you guarantee that they will not be used for evil?" Robin asked in a low voice.

The old cat nodded solemnly: "I promise you that these gold coins will be completely destroyed and will never fall into the hands of dark wizards or the Wizard Council."

Robin took a deep breath and finally nodded: "Okay, I believe you."

He took out the remaining gold coins from his pocket and handed them to the old cat. The old cat took the gold coins, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Robin, you made a wise decision." The old cat whispered, "Next, you must be careful. Neither the dark wizards nor the Wizard Council will let you go easily."

Robin smiled bitterly: "I know. But I have no choice."

The old cat patted his shoulder, with a hint of comfort in his tone: "You are not alone. I will continue to help you in secret. Remember, no matter what happens, don't trust the people of the Wizard Council easily."

Robin nodded, his trust in the old cat becoming even stronger.

The old cat put away the gold coins and turned to leave. However, the moment he opened the door, a cold voice came from outside.

"Odis, it's you."

Robin and Old Cat looked up at the same time and found Lina standing outside the door, holding a staff in her hand and staring at them coldly.

"Lena..." Robin's heart sank, knowing that the situation was irreversible.

The old cat sneered, quickly stepped back a few steps, and whispered to Robin: "Remember my words, be careful of the Wizard Council."

After saying this, his figure suddenly turned into a ball of black mist and disappeared into the air.

Lina did not pursue, but looked at Robin coldly: "Roy, you are indeed in collusion with the old cat."
