Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 94 The End
The old cat just looked at him coldly, the dagger in his hand flashing with a cold light.

"Kagani, your plan has come to an end." The old cat said in a low voice, and then his figure flashed and appeared in front of Kagani in an instant.

Before Kajiani could react, Lao Mao's dagger had already pierced his chest.

Kajiani's eyes widened, staring at the old cat in disbelief: "You...how could you..."

The old cat sneered, a hint of mockery in his tone: "Do you think that you can be invincible just because you have broken through to the first level of wizard? In front of me, you are still just an ant."

A trace of despair flashed in Kajiani's eyes. He could no longer resist.

When he was about to fall, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Do you think you won?" Kajiani whispered, then took out a pitch-black crystal from his arms - it was the Soul-Devouring Crystal.

"Not good!" The old cat's face changed and he quickly retreated.

However, it was too late.

Kajiani used up his last bit of strength, raised the Soul-Devouring Crystal above his head, and whispered an ancient spell.

"Sacrifice my soul, Soul Devouring Crystal, explode!"

As his words fell, the Soul Devouring Crystal instantly burst out with an intense black light, and a terrifying energy wave swept across the entire Ash Wasteland.

"Run!" the old cat shouted and rushed towards Robin, trying to take him away.

The explosion was too fast.

The black energy wave instantly swallowed up everything around them. Old Cat and Robin were blown away by the powerful impact and fell heavily to the ground.

At the same time, three first-ring wizards from the Wizard Council who came from afar were also affected by the aftermath of the explosion.

Before they could react, they were swallowed by the black energy wave and turned into ashes in an instant.

The explosion lasted for several seconds before gradually subsiding.

A huge pit appeared in the center of the Ash Wasteland. The surrounding ground was covered with charred cracks, and the air was filled with a burning smell.

Robin struggled to get up from the ground, feeling severe pain all over his body.

He looked up at the center of the explosion and found that Kajiani had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the fragments of the soul-devouring crystal scattered on the ground.

"Old cat..." Robin called out in a low voice, turning to look at the old cat beside him.

The old cat was lying on the ground, his face pale, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. If he had not protected Robin under him, the terrifying shock wave would have been enough to take Robin's life.

The old cat struggled to sit up and whispered, "I'm fine... just a little hurt."

Robin breathed a sigh of relief, and his gratitude towards the old cat grew even stronger.

"Kagani...is he dead?" Robin asked in a low voice.

The old cat nodded, his tone carrying a hint of complexity: "He sacrificed his soul to the Soul Devouring Crystal, causing the explosion. However, he also completely disappeared."

Robin was silent for a moment, then whispered: "Thank you, old cat. If it weren't for you, I..."

The old cat waved his hand, interrupting him: "Don't thank me. I'm helping you because you have something I want." Robin's heart tightened, and he looked at the old cat warily: "What do you want?"

The old cat smiled, with a hint of mystery in his tone: "Now is not the time to tell you. But don't worry, I won't hurt you."

Robin nodded, and became even more wary of the old cat.

The old cat's purpose is not simple, but now he has no choice but to rely on the old cat temporarily.

"What should we do next?" Robin asked in a low voice.

The old cat took a deep breath and stood up with difficulty. "We must leave here as soon as possible. The Wizard Council and the Fallen Angels will be here soon, and they will not let us go."

Robin nodded, quickly packed up his equipment, and waited for the old cat to put away the Soul-Devouring Crystal before heading deeper into the wasteland.

Robin followed the old cat, or Odysseus, through the depths of the Ash Wasteland and came to a hidden cave.

The entrance to the cave was covered by dense vines and rocks. If it weren't for Audis leading the way, Robin would never have found this place.

After entering the cave, Audis lit a magic lamp, and the faint light illuminated the surroundings. The interior of the cave was not large, but it was obviously carefully arranged. Some food and supplies were piled in the corner. It was obvious that this was Audis' temporary base.

"Sit down." Audis pointed to a stone on the ground and then sat down himself.

Robin looked at him warily. Instead of sitting down immediately, he asked in a low voice, "Who are you? Why are you helping me?"

Audis smiled, his tone a little tired. "My name is Audis Lehman, and I'm from an organization called the Round Table Council."

"Round Table Council?" Robin frowned. He had never heard of this organization.

Audis nodded and explained, "The Round Table Council was established with the support of the royal family. Its purpose is to ensure the royal family's transcendent status in the kingdom. Whether it is the Wizard Council or the Dark Wizards Pact, once they grow to a certain size, they will inevitably threaten the royal family's status."

Robin was shocked. He had never thought such an organization existed in the kingdom. He also heard a new name, the Dark Wizards Pact. He whispered, "What is the Dark Wizards Pact?"

Audis said: "The Dark Wizards Agreement is an organization similar to the Wizards Council. It is an organization jointly established by multiple dark wizard schools."

"Then why are you helping me?"

Robin stared at Audis, trying to get some clues from his expression.

Although Audis' explanation gave him a certain understanding of the Round Table Council and the Dark Wizards Pact, he still could not fully trust this mysterious organization.

Audis seemed to see Robin's doubts and smiled slightly, his tone carrying a hint of sincerity. "We're helping you because you possess the value we need. Not only are you a dual practitioner of knight and wizard, but you're also embroiled in a conspiracy involving the Soul Devouring Crystal and the gold coins. These events involve the game between the Wizard Council and the Dark Wizards Pact, and may even threaten the stability of the kingdom."

Robin frowned and asked in a low voice, "Are you planning to use me to deal with the Wizard Council and the Dark Wizards Pact?"

Audis shook his head and said calmly: "No, we don't want to use you. On the contrary, we hope you can become one of us.

The Round Table's goal is to maintain balance within the kingdom and prevent any one faction from becoming too powerful. And now that you're wanted by two organizations, there's nowhere else to take you in except us."

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

His current situation is extremely dangerous. Neither the Wizarding Council nor the Dark Wizards Pact will let him go easily.

I have a cold and forgot to post today. As for Sunday off, people who work in factories don't have weekends.
