Chapter 317: Temptation
ๅฒๅฒๅฒยทยทยท
The gentle stepping on the ground kept ringing.
In a meadow, a group of people were walking forward on horseback.
It was a long procession, with dozens of maidens and guards in the ranks.
And in the middle of these people, Alina rode alone on a white horse, looking at the distant scenery with a calm face.
There, a manor was standing, and the gates of the manor were open at this time, and some people were standing waiting.
Several tall knights stepped out of it, and the first man looked young and handsome, and was dressed in a decent black shirt, which was very eye-catching.
He looked at Alina walking in the distance, and a decent smile appeared on his face: "Welcome, Princess Alina. โ
"I am Helot, son of Count Orris. He bowed, and was impeccable in manners.
"Where's Count Orris?" a loud voice sounded at this moment.
Beside Alina, Arnum was dressed in bronze armor and rode forward on a black horse, with wisps of red fighting aura emerging all over his body, accompanied by a unique momentum.
After Adiel's previous treatment, the stump of this Sky Knight has been connected, and at this time, although his strength cannot be fully exerted because he has not fully adapted, he can also fight face to face with the Sky Knight.
He looked at Helot like this, and his face looked a little unkind.
Alina is a princess after all, and in terms of identity, she belongs to the top group of people in the country.
Although Count Orris is an old nobleman and has a lot of strength, he didn't greet him in person in front of the princess, and only let his eldest son come out.
This kind of behavior is very disrespectful in Arnum's opinion, and naturally he will not give the other party a good face at this time.
It's just that in the face of his questioning, bearing the oppression of the vindictive spirit faintly conveyed by the other party, Helot's face remained unchanged, and he just said apologetically: "It's a pity that in the front time, my father was injured because of some things, and he had some difficulty in moving, so it was inconvenient to greet the princess in person, so I could only do it for me." โ
"What kind of situation can make a knight with a title so injured that he can't even go out to greet him?"
Regarding the other party's statement, Arnum said in a bad tone, staring at Helot in front of him.
"Forget it. At this moment, Alina's cold voice sounded on the side.
Looking at the two Arnum in front of her, she waved her hand, her face expressionless: "After all, Count Orris is an elder, since he is injured now, according to the rules, I should indeed take the initiative to visit him." โ
As she spoke, she turned to look at Helot, who was on the side: "Lead the way." โ
"Yes. Seeing Alina say this, Helot couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then turned around and walked in the direction of the manor.
Following behind Alina, looking at Helot's back, Adil looked calm.
"Name: Helot. Power: 6.7. Dexterity: 7.2. Constitution: 6.5. Mental Power: 1.8. Condition: Good. In front of me, a familiar properties panel emerges.
"A great knight, judging by his age, not bad. โ
Looking at this data, Adil commented silently, and then stopped paying attention to the other party, but paid attention to the surroundings.
Relying on his powerful sensing power, when he stepped into this manor, Adil clearly felt a deep chill, and it seemed that several pairs of eyes were faintly watching him around the manor.
"The five Great Knights, the two Celestial Knights, are all masters of concealment, and have practiced the corresponding breathing method. On the other side, in Alina's mind, the soft voice sounded as well, telling her the number of knights lurking around.
"That's all?" Hearing this amount, Alina was a little puzzled: "Count Orris is a veteran nobleman of the military, plus the Turingists, and my eldest brother, this is the only strength under his command?"
"It should just be the strength of the opponent's men. The soft voice continued: "Turingism is a cult, and the eldest prince is your brother. If these two forces want to deal with you, neither side can see the light, otherwise it will cause major consequences. โ
"If it were prudent, the power of the Great Prince and the Turing Sect might still be lurking right now. โ
The voice continued: "Even, if the other party finds something, then it is possible to do it even if you don't do it here." โ
"After all, the other party's move here is only a possibility, and it cannot be determined. โ
"Not bad. Listening to the analysis of the voice in her head, Alina nodded silently: "However, if something really goes wrong, will it be enough to deal with the knights I brought this time?"
This is not a needless concern.
Whether it is Turingism or the Great Prince, it is not an easy character to deal with, and the power that his subordinates can show is terrifying.
And this time she traveled, in order to create the illusion of defenselessness, she only brought two Sky Knights Arnum and Adil with her, and the big knight only brought five people, once she clashed with the other party, she did not have the slightest advantage.
"It doesn't matter. The voice continued: "As long as there is no knight of the level of Radiant Knight, I can settle the rest for you, and I can escape with you no matter how bad it is." โ
"That's fine. Hearing this, Alina finally nodded, and her originally tense heart relaxed slightly.
Radiant Knight, the existence of this level, can already be said to be a Zhenguo-level existence.
As one of the four most powerful countries at that time, the Malan Empire definitely had no more than ten glorious knights in the country, each of which had a legendary story and a prominent identity.
The reason why the eldest prince Solal has such a big advantage, in addition to his military support, is that he is a glorious knight himself.
With the support of the military and a glorious knight himself, if it weren't for the fact that this generation of King Maran is still very young and can reign for a long time, the successor of this generation would have been determined long ago.
A glorious knight, whose strength is terrifying, is enough to destroy a small country by himself, and his status is so high that he has won the honor that ordinary people can never imagine.
Because of this, Alina is sure that there will be no Radiant Knight this time.
A powerhouse of this level as the Radiant Knight, each of whom has a task on her shoulders, and her every move is watched by countless people, and it is unlikely that she will venture out to attack her, a princess with a sensitive identity.
On the road, the crisp sound of horses' hooves continued to sound.
After a while, they came to a hall, where a middle-aged man in a black robe was sitting, with long white hair and eyes closed, looking recuperating.
It wasn't until Alina walked to the door that he opened his eyes with a polite smile on his face: "Princess Alina, long time no see." โ
"Long time no see, Lord Auris. Looking at the middle-aged man in front of her, Alina looked very polite and said there.
It's just that, despite what she said, her face was still indifferent, and she didn't have any respect for the person in front of her.
Orris didn't care about that.
He was dressed in a black robe, his long white hair hung down, and his face looked tired, although it was well maintained, and he looked quite old.
"Who is this?"
Standing in place, he keenly saw Adil standing behind Alina, and couldn't help asking.
At this time, the people who can accompany Alina into this hall are naturally the other party's trusted henchmen, and the number is only four.
He knew the other three, and the only one to pay attention to was Arnum, who had never seen him before.
"This is my new knight. Listening to Orris's words, Alina turned to look at Adil and introduced to Orris, "He is also a knight cadet of the Maran Academy. โ
"Hello, I'm Adiel. At this time, Adil also took the initiative to speak, with a polite smile on his face, combined with his delicate appearance, which was very impressive.
It's just that for Adil to introduce himself, Oris didn't say anything at all, just stared at Adil quietly and didn't speak.
Time seemed to stand still, until the next moment, a shining sword light quickly streaked through the air.
Wow!!
A sword slashed through the air, and the pale black life energy condensed on a long sword, and finally slashed forward fiercely.
Under the incredulous gaze of Alina and the others, Oris made a bold move, and a long sword quickly slashed downward, drawing a terrifying sword light.
"You!!" At this moment, Alina had an angry expression on her face, but she just looked at the sword light that was still close in front of her, and it was too late to make a move.
Touch!!
The sound of the collision of gold and iron sounded at this moment, and the two fighting qi contained in it collided with each other and exploded directly at this moment.
The wooden table in front of him shattered on the spot, was swept away by the aftermath of the fighting spirit, and was crushed on the spot.
It was only then that Alina and the others saw the situation clearly.
At the critical moment just now, Adil directly drew his sword, and blocked the opponent's blow at that moment, and his body did not waver a step.
He looked at Orris in front of him, there was no expression on his face, but there was a powerful life energy rising on his body, faintly condensing into a fighting armor.
"Lord Orris, what are you doing here?"
Looking at the scene in front of her, Alina's face turned cold, and she looked at Auris and spoke.
Behind her, Arnum and the others were also looking at each other, and their faces looked very unkind.
As knights, they all saw the blow of Count Orris just now.
That blow was extremely sudden, and with the strength of the opponent's titled knight, it suddenly exploded, and even Alina and Arnum didn't have time to react.
If that blow hadn't been blocked by Adil in the end, perhaps a Sky Knight would have died like this, and there was no value in dying.
Just thinking about that possibility, Alina was terrified.
The Knight of the Sky is not a cabbage. On the contrary, as an existence of the same level as a formal wizard, the Sky Knight is also very rare in this world, enough to support a powerful family.
As the seventh princess, although Alina has the support of the maternal clan behind her, up to now, there are no more than five Sky Knights under her command, each of which is hardly recruited, and it is difficult to bear the loss of one.
Not to mention, Adil is still very young, suspected of being a top royal descendant, and may even be promoted to the Knight of Radiance in the future.
This kind of knightly genius with great potential, if it is folded here like this, as long as you think about it, it will be a huge loss.
"Princess Alina, don't be nervous. โ
Standing in front of him, facing Princess Alina's questioning, Auris seemed very calm, and even had a faint smile on his face: "I'm sorry, the old mistakes on the battlefield in the past have been made again, and when I see a stranger coming, I can't help but want to try it." โ
"I've already condensed the armor of Douqi, and I'm also a Knight of the Firmament. โ
As he spoke, he turned to look at Adil with the same smile on his face: "You are very good to be able to block my sword." โ
"It's just barely a little strength, it's nothing. In front of him, Adiel's face was calm, and he didn't seem to care about the other party's affairs at all: "I just don't know, if I can't take your sword just now, what will be the final result?"
"Trust an old knight's ability to hold a sword. Auris smiled: "My sword is very stable, if you don't react at the time, this sword will not continue to stab, at most it will only scare you." โ
"Really?" said Adil with a smile and nothing more.
It's just that in his heart, he sentenced Orris to death.
At that moment, he could feel that the other party's heart was clearly full of killing intent.
This is definitely not a temptation, but a real attempt to kill Adil without sparing.
If it weren't for the fact that Adil wasn't an ordinary Sky Knight, I'm afraid he would have fallen under the opponent's sword by now.
After all, the strength of the other party is not simple. As a knight of the title, the strength of the other party undoubtedly stands at the peak of the knight of the sky, otherwise it would be impossible to obtain this title.
All kinds of thoughts flashed in his heart, but on the surface, Adiel's expression did not change in the slightest, and he still wore that polite smile, as if he did not take the previous events to heart.
However, Alina and Arnum and the others, seeing Orris's face becoming more and more unkind, if there was still a little restraint in their hearts, there might have been a conflict at this time.
"Suddenly I think about it, I still have an important matter to deal with. โ
At this time, Auris suddenly got up and looked at Alina in front of him apologetically: "Princess Alina, I'll miss you for a while." โ
"Speaking of which, Helot is also a student of Maran Academy, and he is also your senior, so he can take this opportunity to exchange ideas for a while. โ
He looked at the people in front of him and said seriously, and then walked towards the door.
In place, looking at Orris's back, Arnum looked at Alina in front of him: "Princess, I also want to go out to breathe." โ
"Okay, come back early. Alina nodded directly.
Listening to Alina's words, Arnum and Adil glanced at each other very tacitly, and then walked directly out.
"How's it going, has that knight's strength been tried?"
In the middle of a dense forest, a hoarse voice rang out.
