I must draw my sword immediately!

Chapter 138 Knights' Alliance
Lukan looked at Sua, waiting for Sua to make a decision.

Suya was also thinking about it.

Magician, Legion.

Putting these two terms together is truly a dark joke.
However, it cannot be denied that the true power in the capital Winchester, namely the Royal Guard Knights, is currently mostly in the hands of King Perinoa, with a small portion in the hands of Gerry Freyt. Apart from the personal guard knights brought into the capital by the princes, the standing army, garrison troops, conscripts, mercenaries, and permanent militia of the capital from the third to the sixth ring are all subordinate to the former two.

It can be said that the magicians of the Clock Tower are currently the only force in the capital without a clear leader.

Furthermore, the magician community possesses an extremely high potential for warfare.

At the very least, if such an outrageous legion were actually formed, the supplies it would receive from the logistics system would be naturally superior to others!

Others would take food or weapons from the logistics department, and if they went a little further, they would only be a little more greedy.

You, the magician, step forward, first collect '30 Virgin Hearts', then '10 Spellfingers', and pair them with a horizontal double-barreled shotgun. Line them up and fire. Regardless of whether it works or not, you instantly have the aura of having a weapon a thousand years ahead of the enemy, and being able to line up and shoot anyone you see.

Furthermore, what kind of bonuses would a magician gain if he joined the Knights?
Suya couldn't help but think this way.

However, at this moment,

"Dong dong!"

There was a knock on the conference room door, and a tavern butler called softly from outside:
"Brother, there is a knight outside requesting an audience."

"Knights?" Lucan raised an eyebrow slightly, immediately realizing that the newcomers were likely the royal guards of the British princes who had gathered there since morning.

The princes' knights had been sending messengers early in the morning, asking Suya to meet with a certain prince and inviting Suya to join their camp. However, Suya was unconscious, and Lukan had no intention of having Suya join any other camp for the time being.

"Didn't I tell you to tell them that Suya isn't here?"

The white, medium-length hair, emerald green eyes, and about fifteen years old, bowed apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't stop him. That knight insisted that their prince must see Mr. Suya and asked me to deliver this title. Once you see it, you will understand what he means."

The butler entered the conference room carrying a round tray and placed the items brought by the other party on the dining table.
In the dish, a brown brick lay quietly.

The bricks and stones had nothing special about their exterior, just like any other stones you could see on the street. However, they emitted a slightly pungent odor from within.

"This is... a brick?" Lucan was taken aback.
Meanwhile, Dagonet quickly identified the source of the smell from the bricks and explained to the others:
"It contains ingredients from salamanders and frogs. These ingredients are generally used to make potions or as materials for building large magic workshops."

Sua was confused, so she looked at Meryl.

Mary took a knife from the counter and cut a corner off the brick. After examining it for a moment, she quickly confirmed:

"These are bricks sprinkled with the secret medicine of the spirit-summoning ritual."

"However, it only represents a small, almost negligible part of the entire ritual, while the complete séance ritual should be quite extensive."

Mary looked up, slightly puzzled.

"But... this level of ritual is already quite extravagant, even for summoning a divine servant. What does it want to summon?"

Suya and the others exchanged glances, their hearts skipping a beat as they recalled Baling's warning not long ago.

"Holy Grail!"

"This is the ritual brick used by King Perinoa to forge the Holy Grail."

Now, a prince from the British kingdoms has sent this brick to Sua, intending to tell Sua that they have also discovered King Perinoa's conspiracy.

So, what is their stance?
And then,
The white-haired young butler in the tavern suddenly looked at Lukan and reminded the group:

“I have seen similar stone bricks in many places, such as St. Church Street, St. Church Street, St. Priest Street, and St. Cross Square, scattered throughout neighborhoods with churches of all sizes.” “These places have one thing in common—they are all within the jurisdiction of the church’s military.”

Su Ya immediately raised his head and looked at the young deacon who had accurately reported the detailed information and addressed Lukan as his elder brother. He felt that the young man looked somewhat familiar, so he asked:
"what's your name?"

Seeing that Suya had noticed him, the white-haired young deacon was somewhat flattered.

"Oh, me? Mr. Sua, my name is Bedivere!"

Suya suddenly understood, but before she could think about the life of this Knight of the Round Table, she asked again:

"What else did the knight say? What were his distinguishing features?"

Bedivere thought for a moment and then said:

"Apart from that, nothing else was said. However, that knight should be a member of the Bearded Knights under King Rains. He is currently the personal guard knight of King Rains' eldest son, Edwin, and is the eleventh-ranked knight of the Eleven Bearded Knights, Knight Leopold."

"He had a beard of four colors, which proved that he had participated in three wars that killed kings and had offered their beards to King Raines."

Listening to Bedivere's explanation, Sua immediately recalled the four-colored-bearded knight he had encountered the previous night when he and Baring went to retrieve the Round Table.

The other person seems to be named Leopold?
Suya thought for a moment and then said, "Go and invite this knight up."

Bedwell nodded.

Soon, he led Knight Leopold, whom Suya had met before, into the tavern and to the meeting room on the second floor.

Upon seeing Suya, the knight Leopold, with his four-colored beard, immediately bowed slightly in respect, tapped his breastplate with his gauntlet, and spoke in a deep, resonant voice:

"Sir Suya, we meet again."

Suya nodded to him, then pointed to the bricks and stones the other party had brought and said directly:
"Sir Leopold, what brings you here?"

Leopold's gaze swept across the conference room, and when he saw Baring standing to one side, his beard twitched. Then, he spoke very respectfully:

"Firstly, it is naturally to ask you to assist Prince Edwin in ascending the throne. Even before arriving in the capital, Prince Edwin had already placed great importance on you and Knight Kai."

“Of course, I understand that you are currently assisting Prince Gawain, but putting that aside for now, I have another purpose for coming here—”

Knight Leopold pointed to the ceremonial brick and spoke solemnly:

"I'm sure you've already grasped the meaning behind this brick. King Perinoa has violated the code of chivalry, and his madness has led to a future that this royal selection points to that is no longer pure."

"Therefore, before the final battle is decided, we knights all face a common enemy."

Suya nodded, thinking to himself, "That's right. And this enemy is a bit too strong. I've been forced to find a way to escape."

But he quickly realized what was happening, looked at the knight before him, and asked in surprise,
You mean, you want to?

"That's right!"

Knight Leopold nodded, a murderous glint in his eyes.
Then, he handed Suya a card.

"Please go to this location at 3 PM on behalf of His Highness Gawain."

"We have united several princes to form a knightly alliance. We will discuss our plan to eliminate King Perinoa here!"
