Ark pigeon mode, activated!

Camilla turned and left. He jumped directly to the roof of another building more than ten meters away from the back of the building, kept running, and quickly disappeared in the distance.

Compared to his strength, his body is too light, only 30 kilograms.

After leaving Manning Street, Kemira called a carriage to take him back to... the foundry.

Krafko could take the blame, but he wouldn't underestimate the criminal investigation methods of this era of supernatural powers, so the probability of tracking him down was very high.

Some people will not give up and are likely to take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Therefore, he had to come up with a reason that would allow the authorities to ignore his crossing the line and those knight families would not dare to investigate further!

On the surface, the foundry only has two buildings facing the outside and a closed park surrounded by high walls. It is difficult for outsiders to know what is going on in the park. They only occasionally see huge steam armor being delivered.

Camilla walked into the foundry building, randomly found a free staff member at the front desk, and spoke softly.

"Please arrange for me to meet with the director of your branch. I would like to discuss the disposal of a set of steam armor with him."

Because he came to check information two days ago and introduced himself, the staff knew that he was from the Stuart family and indeed owned a set of steam armor, so they did not dare to neglect it and quickly went to inform the minister.

Camilla waited here for a while, and then someone came to lead him into the foundry.

In the reception room on one side of the park, Camilla met the director of the Foundry Branch, the titled Knight Adrian Rafdan.

This is a tall and thin man with pale skin and prominent bones, but his eyes are extremely bright, as if they can see through people's hearts.

He was wearing work clothes with some stains on them, as if he had just taken a break from some work.

"Nice to meet you. Camilla Stuart sends his greetings, Knight of the Blue Flame."

Camilla greeted politely.

One should still be in awe of such a strong man who can beat him into a pulp with one slap.

Adrien nodded and spoke gently.

"You came to me to decide what to do with your steam armor?"

"Yes."

Camilla nodded, her expression becoming serious.

"I want to apply for the Trial of Valor!"

"Oh? Are you sure?"

Adrien asked with interest.

The Trial of Valor is a special rule established by the Foundry.

Applicants must own a steam armor, and then mortgage the steam armor to be temporarily taken over by the Foundry. Applicants need to win the top three in the knight competition before they can get the steam armor back!

The prizes for the top three in the knight competition were originally steam armors, but here, they will be replaced with high-specification modifications to the mortgaged steam armors!

Some terrible modifications are worth more than two or three sets of steam armor!

However, this trial only allows one to participate in one knight competition. Once failed, the steam armor will be confiscated by the foundry!

Titled knights who already possess steam armor rarely have the courage to participate in this trial.

If you succeed, you'll get a huge promotion, but if you fail, you'll lose your steam armor and be demoted to a full-fledged knight. Who can accept that?!

Moreover... of the knights who have participated in the trial throughout history, only a small number can pass.

"I'm very sure. Also, I feel... Kemlot is still a little slow. I hope to continue to strengthen its speed advantage."

Camilla said seriously.

"Okay, wait a moment. Your situation is rather special. You're not yet a formal knight. I need to contact the headquarters for advice."

After confirming Camilla's intention, Adrian temporarily left the reception room and used some means to contact the Foundry Headquarters far away in the capital.

There are no telephones or telegraphs in this world, and long-distance communication relies on some unique spiritual technologies.

Many of the technologies researched by the Foundry are closely related to the spiritual world.

A moment later, Adrian came back and said with a smile.

"They've agreed, but there are two additional requirements. The first is to test your strength. Modifying steam armor consumes a lot of resources, and not everyone is qualified to undergo the trial. You must prove your excellence. The second is... you must participate in a knight competition before you turn twenty. That's seven years. Is that okay?"

"No problem, but I do have a small additional request."

"Oh? What is it?"

"To renovate Kemlot, we need to transport it back to the main Foundry. We'll pass through Sudetenland on the way, and I need to go to the Knights' Academy for further training. Would you mind giving me a ride?"

Hearing this request, Adrien couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

He realized that this was the real purpose of Camilla's request for the trial. Camilla wanted to use the power of the Foundry to avoid something!

but……

"Of course, it's a trivial request."

He doesn't care.

……

Chapter 11: Blade Master Tower Scraping and Hitting!

After the negotiation, the next step is to test the strength.

Adrian was not busy at the moment, so he decided to take charge of this part himself.

Under his leadership, the two went to the training ground inside the park.

The training ground is very large, and the ground is covered with a layer of hardened material similar to obsidian. It is usually used to test the performance of steam armor, and knights rarely clash with each other.

Some people from the foundry who were temporarily unemployed gathered around and watched with great interest.

Their minister is considered a top-tier warrior among the titled knights, and it is rare to see him in action. Even though he is not operating steam armor, it is still worth watching.

Adrian went to get a mechanical eye-like instrument and began to debug it.

This is used to record the battle process.

Camilla looked around and her brows gradually furrowed.

"Did you find it?"

Adrien said softly.

"Well, there's a space issue. The entire park is much larger than it looks from the outside. Is this... the Fusion Zone?"

Camilla guessed uncertainly.

"That's right, a special fusion zone between the spirit world and reality. However, it wasn't born naturally, but was artificially created. Remember the aura of the fusion zone. Naturally born fusion zones contain good things... Alright!"

Adrian patted the eyeball instrument.

"Go all out, use weapons, and show off your might! The stronger you are, the more willing those old guys up there will be to invest!"

He took off his work clothes, which were not much different from those of an ordinary worker, and was only wearing a gray-brown vest. His thin body was muscular and tight.

Just wave your hand casually.

Snapped!

The air suddenly exploded.

A formal knight has achieved a leap in life level. His physical strength is quite exaggerated. Coupled with his well-honed martial arts, he does not even need to use his spirit to crush all apprentice knights!

When Camilla saw this scene, her pupils shrank slightly.

In his memory, he had seen many official knights, but they were all in ordinary states, not in combat, and he had never even seen them in training.

I know that official knights are very powerful, but today is probably the first time I have felt that power personally!

He thought for a moment and gave up the idea of ​​using weapons.

Adrian wanted him to show his strength, not to defeat him. It would be fine if he showed strong enough strength!

He took a deep breath, cleared his mind, stepped forward, raised his hand, and assumed the starting stance of the White Lion Fist.

Although it is called boxing, when practicing it, people basically do not clench their fists. Serious martial arts do not clench their fists because attacking with a clenched fist will easily injure the hand and cause contusion and fracture, serious deformation of the fingers, and then disable them.

If you observe carefully, you will find that boxing mostly uses palms to attack, and the blows are like whips.

Camilla didn't use her spirit either. She suddenly rushed forward, making repeated gestures with her hands, and like a phantom blooming, she hit Adrian madly.

clap clap clap! ! !

Intensive strikes continue!

"Good! Solid foundation!"

Adrian blocked casually and nodded.

Any of Camilla's moves was enough to bend steel bars, which showed that he had practiced hard.

The White Lion Fist is followed by several sets of steam armor combat skills. The more solid the foundation, the better!

Moreover, this speed is not something that an ordinary apprentice knight can possess!

In battle, being 10% faster is already a huge advantage. He is almost twice as fast as other apprentice knights!

At the same level, I’m afraid few people have the ability to fight back!

After fighting for more than a minute, Camilla began to use her spirit!

He had just become an apprentice knight and didn't know many tricks, the most practical of which was the trick enhancement!

When he used his spirit, his speed increased dramatically again, and he completely turned into a phantom, and his attacks were like a torrential rain!

The spirit energy consumed in dealing with Ashe and the other three people had already been fully recovered. The attack at this moment was an attack with a charged effect!

Amidst the violent storm of attacks, Adrian took a step back for the first time, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.

The strange impact that came with Chimila's attack caused him to misjudge a little. Of course, he just took a step back and remained as steady as a rock. If it were an enemy fighting a life-and-death battle with Chimila, this would be fatal!

The high-intensity attack lasted for nearly a minute.

After consuming more than half of her spirit, Camilla stepped back, withdrew her hands and stood still, taking deep breaths, her chest heaving violently.

Such continuous attacks were obviously a huge burden on him.

In a normal fight, his opponent would have been beaten into pieces by him.

Adrian casually pulled off his tattered vest and nodded.

"Very good, you have this level of strength at the Apprentice Knight stage. You've basically passed. However, your accumulated spiritual power is too little, which is a disadvantage. Find a way to improve it as soon as possible!"

He knew that Camilla had been rejected in the selection for the Knight Academy. Logically speaking, it was impossible for Camilla to become an apprentice knight at this stage. There must be some special circumstances.

If this opportunity could not help him continue to accumulate spirits quickly, with his original qualifications, even under the training of the Knight Academy, he might not be able to become a formal knight within seven years.

After a few instructions, he started to operate the instrument in the shape of a mechanical eyeball and transmit the battle process to the main foundry institute.

Camilla stood there lost in thought, he understood what Adrian meant.

He was just wondering...how much does this guy weigh!?

While I was daydreaming about this, the reply from the Foundry Institute came quickly.

Passed without any surprise.

Next, it is time to establish a spiritual contract to ensure the normal progress of the trial.

Under the witness of the spirit world, no one dared to violate the contract.

The contract was made in triplicate, one copy was kept by Kemira, one copy was kept at the Foundry branch, and one copy would be sent to the Foundry headquarters along with the steam armor Kemelot.

As she walked out of the foundry with the folded contract, Camilla looked at the street, the people coming and going, and the setting sun in the west, and she let out a long sigh.

The problem with the steam armor was solved, and he could temporarily avoid the bronze knights and cursed demons and go to the safe Knight's Court to gain some development time. He couldn't help but feel relieved.

What a pleasant day!

As he was leisurely looking at the street scene, a man and a woman, both dressed warmly, came up to him and asked cautiously.

"Little brother, are you interested in learning about the gods?"

The dog is sneaky, and its missionary work is almost like a pyramid scheme. The Church of the Three Gods is being suppressed by the knights.

"...No! Goodbye!"

Camilla turned and left.
