Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 276 Changes
However, when they met Robin's gaze, they all lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.

Robin's powerful aura and his achievements forced them to suppress their anger, turning it into a silent resentment.

Robin didn't look back; he walked straight out of the classroom. He knew his words would cause a huge uproar, but he didn't care.

Deep down, he was already disappointed with this place that was once full of memories.

He came here with a touch of nostalgia, but he didn't expect to be met with such a cold reception, especially from Alina's resentment.

This made him feel that there was nothing left for him to miss here.

After attending a victory celebration banquet at the Marquis's mansion, Robin returned to Wilke Territory the following day.

At the victory celebration banquet, there was a wide array of fine wines and delicacies, and everyone was filled with laughter and praise for Robin's heroic deeds.

But Robin felt that all of this was a bit noisy; his heart had already flown back to Wilke's territory.

News of Robin's slaying of Salgman and expulsion of the barbarians at the border spread quickly.

The news spread like wildfire, quickly reaching every corner of the world.

People talked about Robin's feats in the streets, alleys, taverns, and inns. His name was passed down among the people and became more and more mysterious and powerful.

When Mrs. Aishar saw the message, her brow furrowed slightly. She sat in her lavish room, holding the sheet of paper containing the message in her hand, her eyes gleaming with contemplation.

"Robin's progress is too fast!" she couldn't help but murmur.

The wind chime stood silently to the side. Her posture was upright, like a quietly growing pine tree.

She knew that Mrs. Aishar was thinking at the moment, and she only needed to wait on the side.

Lady Aishar asked, "Did he have any extraordinary encounters? And what is that Power Fruit?"

Her gaze was fixed on the wind chime, hoping to get an answer from her.

After thinking for a moment, Feng Ling said, "After investigation and judgment, it should be the effect of the Dragon Devouring Breathing Technique breaking through to the second level. When killing an enemy, it can absorb the enemy's life force into a fruit."

The sound of the wind chimes was calm and steady as she truthfully reported the results of her investigation and analysis.

Lady Aisha nodded slightly after hearing Fengling's words, but her eyes still held doubt: "If this Dragon Breathing Technique is so miraculous, won't Robin's strength continue to increase? If he continues to grow like this, I don't know whether it will be a blessing or a curse for our plans."

Wind Chime replied, "Madam, Robin's growth hasn't yet shown any signs of hindering our plans. However, we do need to keep a close eye on his movements, as he has now become a force to be reckoned with."

Mrs. Aisha gently put down the papers in her hand, stood up, walked to the window, and murmured to herself as she gazed into the distance, "Robin, Robin, how many secrets are you still hiding?"

Mrs. Aisha could never have imagined that the wind chimes had already been conquered by Robin, and that Robin had already filled her heart.

Wind Chime's feelings for Robin were like a seed buried deep in her heart, taking root, sprouting, and growing strong in the little things they did together, until they occupied her entire heart.

Back in her room, as Fengling changed her clothes, she noticed the heart-shaped pendant hanging around her neck—a piece Robin had personally crafted for her. The pendant shimmered softly under the light, as if carrying Robin's boundless love for her.

Following that were her and Robin's names, meticulously carved by Robin, each stroke imbued with his deep affection. Robin had already promised her that once they reached the continent of Pavel, he would stay with her forever.

This promise was like a beacon, illuminating the softest corner of Fengling's heart.

Whenever she thought of this promise, her heart was filled with warmth and anticipation. She gently stroked the pendant, her lips unconsciously curving upwards, her eyes brimming with happy dreams.

Therefore, the information she brought to Lady Elsa was deliberately left to her by Robin.

Robin meticulously planned every step of his journey.

He knew the special status of the wind chimes in Lady Elsa's life, so he cleverly used this to convey the information he wanted the enemy to know through the wind chimes.

Lady Aisha knew that the Dragon Breathing Technique could extract Power Fruits, but she didn't know the efficiency and quantity of Power Fruits that could be extracted.

It's like she only saw the tip of the iceberg, unable to glimpse the vast portion hidden underwater.

Robin understood the importance of information asymmetry, and he controlled it perfectly, revealing some information that would attract the enemy's attention while retaining the key parts, keeping Mrs. Aishar in a state of confusion.

They were even less aware of the system Robin was hiding in the shadows. Without the system's assistance, his cultivation could not have been so fast, and the extraction of the Power Fruit could not have been so convenient and quick.

Mrs. Elsa believed that Robin was still under her control, so she continued to support him and also placed a large order for weapons and equipment with Wilke.

She sat in her luxurious study, a confident smile playing on her lips. In her eyes, Robin was nothing more than a pawn in her game. Although the pawn's power was growing, it still couldn't escape her grasp.

Those large orders for weapons and equipment were both a show of support for Wilke territory and a means for her to consolidate her influence.

On the one hand, it supports the major war in Wilke territory, and on the other hand, it meets the increasingly tense military requirements.

The situation in the western border is like a taut bowstring, ready to unleash the arrow of war at any moment.

Lady Elsa understood the importance of a strong military for dealing with war, and she carefully planned every move in this power struggle.

With the Western Frontier stabilizing internally, the war between the Westerlands and Middle-earth is about to begin in Middle-earth.

Inside the imperial palace in the Central Plains, ministers offered their advice and suggestions, the army began to be reorganized, and provisions and supplies were continuously transported to the border.

Baldr, the emperor of Middle-earth, gazed at the western frontier on the map, his eyes filled with determination. He would not allow the western frontier's power to continue to expand, and a larger-scale war seemed inevitable.

In contrast to Lady Aishar's calm demeanor, the Knights' Guild was thrown into turmoil.

The atmosphere inside the magnificent Knights Guild Hall was oppressive and heavy.

Robin's strength has seriously threatened the Knights' Guild. He is like a rising star that has suddenly emerged, and his dazzling light has stung the eyes of the Knights' Guild.

Their position is precarious until the Knights Guild can produce its own Order Knights.

The once-powerful Knights Guild is now facing an unprecedented crisis, its glory and status seemingly teetering on the brink of collapse under Robin's shadow.
