Wizard Immortal

Chapter 607 Attitude

Splash...

The gentle hum of the blade vibrating continuously rang out, and before our eyes, a silver longsword suddenly burst forth, radiating brilliance in that instant.

In an instant, the two knights blocking Adir's path changed color, sensing a deadly crisis that could endanger their lives.

"You dare!"

Their expressions changed instantly. They steeled themselves and raised their blades, their battle aura surging and solidifying, causing Gruul in the distance to change color.

Bronze Knight!

And there were two of them.

Two bronze knights! Viscount Ashley actually possesses such power?

Before he could figure it out, the confrontation between the three of them had already ended.

A glimmer of silver light flashed, and an endless whistling sound reverberated, like birds soaring and singing in the sky.

Sitting quietly on his white horse, Adir's expression was calm. He silently swung his sword, and the blade swept through the air with a fierce gust of wind, carrying a silvery sheen. As if cutting tofu, it cleanly and neatly severed the weapons of the two knights in front of him.

boom! !

The crisp sound of the longsword breaking rang out.

Before them, the two knights wore expressions of horror, their previous ambiguous smiles long gone, replaced only by shock and fear.

In an instant, the outcome was decided. The longswords in their hands were snapped in two, and cracks appeared on their chest armor, from which drops of crimson blood seeped out. It seemed they had taken the blow head-on.

The afterglow of life energy still lingered on the wounds, continuously fighting against the power within them, causing them to lose their last bit of strength at this moment.

Seeing this, Ashley's expression changed, and then he shouted, "Your Excellency!"

whimper...

A faint neighing of horses came from afar.

Gruul looked up and saw a knight in silver armor, completely covered in armor without a single gap or mark, riding back from afar at the edge of the encirclement. The powerful battle aura emanating from his body was almost tangible as he charged forward.

"Another Bronze Knight?"

He frowned, looking at Asilah in front of him, as if he had remembered something.

In the distance, seeing the white-armored knights galloping towards him, Adir raised his head, not paying much attention, and directly swung his sword.

boom! !

The sound of metal clashing echoed from the spot, so loud that people at the far edge could hear it.

The next moment, what happened on the spot left everyone speechless.

As the two weapons clashed, the immense force was transferred outwards, causing the ground to shatter like a spider web and collapse.

Meanwhile, in the space where they stood, a scorching heat was slowly rising and gradually solidifying.

A wisp of battle aura, now solidified, slowly surged upwards, transforming into massive armor that adhered directly to the two knights, making them appear as majestic and sacred as knights reincarnated from myths and legends.

Gently raising his hand, Adir looked at the knight before him. Through the gap in the mask, he could see the astonishment in the other's eyes.

"Silver Knights! Two of them!!"

At this moment, both Gruul and Ashiri's expressions changed upon seeing the scene before them.

Silver Knights are the backbone of the kingdom. Each one is a legendary figure with a illustrious reputation, and many are even high-ranking nobles with their own territories and subjects.

Normally, even Silver Knights are rarely seen, let alone a battle between them.

"This is definitely not Ashley's own power!"

Gruul's expression changed as he stood there, a series of thoughts flashing through his mind.

Ashley was merely a viscount. While the previous two bronze knights might have been somewhat acceptable, this silver knight was someone he could never possibly possess.

Two bronze knights and one silver knight. If Viscount Ashiri possessed such power, why would he still be confined to this desolate wasteland?

"Someone instructed me." Coming to his senses, he looked at Ashley, whose face showed astonishment, and many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

"Having already been defeated and fled, escaping in a sorry state to this place, you still have a Silver Knight following and remaining loyal?"

Ahead, watching the two knights facing off, Ashley frowned, a sense of unease creeping into his heart: "And they're so young..."

Boom!!

A heavy, shattering sound rang out immediately, drawing everyone's attention.

Standing before the knight, Adir exerted force in his hand, and the gleam on his silver longsword expanded to its maximum in an instant, with faint flashes of sword light on it, as he slashed forward with the most deadly intent.

Yinhua!!

In an instant, the white-armored knight in front of him was startled. He had just raised his longsword, intending to meet the attack head-on, but he found that it was too late to deal with it.

Adir's attack was much faster than he had imagined, and the power it contained subtly broke through the Silver Knight's range, entering a deeper level.

Faced with this power, he only mentally reacted, but his actions were too slow to respond, and he could only passively defend.

boom! !

A violent sound erupted on the spot, and under Ashley's astonished gaze, the white-armored knight was directly knocked away by a sword. A small crack appeared on the silver armor he was wearing, and the battle aura armor that originally covered his body was also slightly unstable, as if it might dissipate at any moment.

This ferocious fighting power and formidable strength even startled the well-informed Gruul: "So strong?"

As a prince of the kingdom and one of the commanders of the southern fortress, he had witnessed many battles fought by the Silver Knights, but there seemed to be few who could rival Adir in strength and speed.

The power that the opponent is currently displaying is subtly superior to that of ordinary Silver Knights, almost reaching a different level altogether.

However, a Silver Knight is, after all, just a Silver Knight.

In just a moment, the knight who had been knocked away by Adir struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with anger as he glared at Adir, ready to draw his sword and fight again.

"Enough!" A shout came from afar, stopping the two from fighting.

From afar, Ashiri rode up and blocked the path between the two, looking directly at the Silver Knight and seemingly scolding him: "His Highness Gruul is our honored guest. How can you be so disrespectful to his subordinate? Hurry up and prepare a room for His Highness Gruul to rest!"

He spoke loudly, seemingly reprimanding, but actually trying to avoid further conflict.

The situation was now clear: the silver knight before them was obviously no match for the young knight, and continuing the conflict would not benefit Ashley in the slightest.

With such a powerful Silver Knight as his follower, Gruul could fight his way out of here even if he were alone; the so-called encirclement of five hundred knights was simply no match for him.

"Your Highness Gruul, I apologize. My subordinate was being disrespectful just now."

He turned to Gruul beside him, still wearing a warm smile: "Your Highness wishes to take your subordinates to rest, which is naturally no problem."

"I will have a room prepared for you, Your Highness. Please wait a moment."

"Then I thank Viscount Ashley for his generosity." Regardless of what he was thinking, Gruul smiled again at this moment, showing no trace of his previous gloomy expression.

At this moment, neither he nor Ashley would benefit from turning against each other.

With Adir, the Silver Knight, around, Viscount Ashiri couldn't do anything to him, but Gruul couldn't do anything to Viscount Ashiri either.

The five hundred knights surrounding them were not just for show.

One silver knight, two bronze knights, plus these five hundred mounted knights. With such strength, if a conflict were to break out, Adir alone would be no match for them.

Having figured this out, he turned to look in Adir's direction, a smile appearing on his face: "Yasuo, let's go."

Adir nodded slightly, glanced at the white-armored knight who had already walked away in the distance, slowly sheathed his longsword, and then, with Wendy beside him, followed Gruul's footsteps forward.

Beside him, gazing at Adir's figure, and that vaguely familiar silhouette, Ashley's smile remained unchanged, but a hint of doubt arose in her heart: "Yasuo... that name... it sounds familiar..."

Viscount Ashley's territory is located on the border of the Carlo region, some distance from the territory of the Bakuru family, but not far away.

Over the long years, the two noble families naturally had interactions, and Viscount Ashley had even seen Yasuo several times.

However, compared to Adir at this moment, Yasuo in the past was too inconspicuous. He neither showed any extraordinary talent nor was he the heir of the Bakuru family, so naturally he did not attract much attention.

Although Viscount Ashley had met Yasuo before, he had long forgotten him, only vaguely feeling that Adir was somewhat familiar.

But that's alright.

As the most powerful nobleman of this generation, Viscount Ashiri would naturally know Adir's identity as soon as he learned the name of Adir's body.

Soon, that very evening, while sitting in his study, Viscount Ashley learned of Adir's identity.

"The second son of the Bakuru family, the child of Baron Doru?"

Sitting in his study, listening to the information gathered by his subordinates, and after carefully confirming it several times, Ashley still found it somewhat unbelievable: "A mere second son of a baron, not even the next heir of the Bakuru family, is actually a Silver Knight?"

He was somewhat incredulous; when he first heard the news, he even thought his subordinates were joking with him.

"That's true, my lord."

Before him, an old man with a wry smile looked at Ashley, who was still somewhat skeptical, and said, "It has been confirmed. Whether it's the name, appearance, or some details on his body, they are exactly the same as that Sir Yasuo. It's basically impossible for it to be a coincidence."

"This is truly unexpected." Ashley paused for a moment before speaking, "The second son of a mere declining baronial family actually possesses this kind of strength. Why didn't this good fortune fall into my family..."

"However, now that he's become a Silver Knight, Sir Yasuo's past performance is questionable," he pondered for a moment before saying, "Was it Baron Doru deliberately concealing it, or was it Sir Yasuo's own idea?"

"It must have been Sir Yaso's own idea." The old man in front of him said, "You know Baron Doru's character, sir. He almost dreams of restoring the reputation of the Bakuru family. If he knew that his second son had this talent, how could he have kept it hidden for so many years?"

"Either Sir Yaso has recently had some special encounter, or Sir Yaso is at odds with Baron Doru and has not told his father anything about it."

"Oh?" Ashley looked up, a thoughtful expression on her face. "Which one do you think it is?"

"It should be the second one." The old man nodded and said with some certainty, "Strength can be obtained by external force, but superb combat skills and excellent combat awareness must be accumulated little by little to become superb."

"Just now, Lord Chris told me that Sir Yasuo is not only powerful, but also has superb combat skills, which are in no way inferior to his."

"This is undoubtedly the result of years of training."

"You're right." Ashley nodded, a slightly mocking smile on his face. "It seems this Sir Yasuo truly is a genius."

As he spoke, he placed one hand on the desk in front of him, then stood up abruptly, gazing into the distance.

"What is Gruul doing?" he suddenly asked, as if he had just realized something.

"His Highness Gruul is resting in his room and seems quite at ease here," the old man said truthfully.

"Of course he's at ease," Ashley scoffed. "With a Silver Knight protecting him, what could anyone possibly do to him in this castle!"

His head started to ache as he recalled his conversation with Gruul during the day.

During the day, Gruul and Ashley chatted "very happily," and during the conversation, Gruul naturally made a request to Ashley.

He hoped that Viscount Ashley would send a squad of knights to escort him to Tam City, so as to avoid the harassment of bandits and robbers along the way.

Ashley naturally didn't believe what he said.

The so-called robbers and bandits posed no problem whatsoever to the two men in front of them.

Even setting aside Adir, who is a Silver Knight, Gruul himself is also a top-tier Bronze Knight. Ordinary bandits and robbers really have no chance to show off in front of him.

What the other party really wants is his attitude.

Sending knights to escort the other party to the capital may seem like a trivial matter, but at this moment it is very important.

In the eyes of other noble lords, this meant a certain degree of deliberation, indicating that Viscount Ashiri had already leaned towards Prince Gruul to some extent and was about to take a stand in this struggle for the throne.
