Chapter 346 Challenge

"Please come in."

Hearing the sound outside the door, Adiel interrupted his thoughts, turned to look at the door, and then spoke.

The voice fell, and with a creak, the wooden door was opened, and then a maid in a red dress walked in from outside.

The maid looked very beautiful and was wearing a red dress. At this time, she looked at Adil who was watching her, a little overwhelmed.

"What's the matter?" Adil's voice sounded in place.

Looking at the young maid in front of him, Adil's face became milder and looked approachable.

"A... Knight of Adil..."

Looking at Adil, the maid said nervously: "Princess Elina asked you to go to the banquet with her."

"Are you going to a banquet..." Hearing this, Adiel was a little surprised, and then he reacted in his heart: "By the way, today is the day for the royal family to hold a banquet."

The canonization of knights, in the Maran Empire, is a grand event every five years.

After each canonization, according to the custom, the royal family will invite many nobles in the country to go to the banquet together to promote exchanges between all parties.

As a knight in the sky, and as the second place in this competition, Adil is also within the scope of the banquet, so this time he will go to the palace with Elina.

These things were all explained by Elina in the front-end time, but Adil was busy with cultivation during this time, so he forgot a little.

"Go back." Thinking of this, looking at the maid in front of him, Adiel nodded lightly: "Tell me the princess, I'll find her later."

"Yes." The maid in front of her saluted gently, glanced at Adil secretly, and then withdrew with a bit of blush.

"It's so nostalgic."

Seeing the back of the maid leaving, Adil shook his head and walked towards the room.

Because he was going to participate in the banquet next, he put on a decent black dress, put down the long sword that was usually worn on his body, and walked outside.

His residence is not far from Elina. Because of the frequent need to communicate, it can be said that it is very close.

Got there in no time.

On a platform, Elina stood there with Anum and a few other knights, and after seeing Adil approaching, she glanced at him, and then said with a smile: "Yes, you are wearing this dress today. , it makes you look better."

"Uh..." Adil didn't know how to take it for a while, but just stood there with a smile and said a word.

"Okay, let's go." Looking at Adil, Elina stopped teasing him, directly mounted a horse beside her, and was ready to set off.

Looking at Elina's movements, Adil also mounted a tall black wildebeest beside him, followed Elina, and walked slowly forward with her.

The roads along the way are very spacious and there are few people, and there is no crowded feeling like other streets.

Adil was not surprised by this.

Nobles have their own status as nobles. The entire road in front of them is a road specially set up for nobles. Except for some nobles, no one else exists along the way.

Along the way, when they saw the team of Elina and others, the surrounding nobles gave way one after another. Some people who were close to them would stop specially to say hello to Elina and others.

For these nobles who took the initiative to show affection, Elina's performance was also very kind. No matter who the other party was, she would stop and talk to the other party for a while, and she could not see the usual aloof attitude.

That's starting to change somewhere.

When she saw a group of knights galloping in front of her, Elina's expression turned cold and indifferent.

The originally spacious road began to become noisy. Seeing the group of galloping knights in front, the nobles advancing ahead gave way one after another. Some of them were too late to give way, and were even pushed away by the other party. The style looked extremely domineering.

Standing next to Elina on horseback, Adil frowned slightly when he watched this scene, looking a little unhappy.

"It's the people from Canardo." Anum said, with strong dissatisfaction in his words: "This guy is getting more and more arrogant."

"No way." Adil said calmly: "The champion of the knight competition does have arrogant capital."

"If you use your full strength, Adil, you may not..." Looking at Adil, Anum felt a little unwilling.

"Okay, I don't need to say this." Adiel smiled, but seemed very calm about it: "The matter has passed, there is no need to worry about anything."

This topic has been brought up.

Continuing on the road for a while, they came to a magnificent palace.

This is a palace with a large area. With Adil's current mental strength, if he spreads out with all his strength, he can't know the specific scope of this palace, which shows that he is afraid.

In this palace, the nobles who came and went walked each with their female relatives and walked towards one of the palaces.

"There are so many people."

Looking at the scene of people coming and going here, Adil sighed: "Didn't you say that the banquets this time are all big nobles?"

"Catutan City is a royal capital after all, and there are many nobles who are qualified to participate in the banquet." Elina said, "These nobles and those knights with good strength are all within the scope of invitation, plus these People's wives and daughters naturally appear to be many."

"Of course, although there are many people, there are also a lot of run-down nobles." She smiled and pointed to Adil: "Although some nobles have a long history, but they have been passed down to the present, there is only one empty title left. Well, it doesn't matter at all when it comes to strength."

"Speaking of which, Adil, you don't have a wife yet."

She changed the subject and talked about Adil: "Are you interested in finding one here?"

"With your current strength and reputation, I believe that many nobles are thinking of marrying their daughters to you."

Listening to Elina's words, Adiel was stunned for a while, and didn't think about this at all.

For some reason, when he heard this topic, the shadow of Edith suddenly flashed in his mind.

That was his fiancee, and she must be waiting in the Elf King's capital at this time, waiting for him to finish this experiment and go out to meet her.

"No need." He smiled, and then said, "I have someone I like."

"Really? That's a pity." Elina felt a little pity: "I originally wanted to introduce you to a few noble noble girls."

While speaking, they continued to walk forward and came to the palace where the banquet was held.

Compared with the outside, the area of ​​this hall is not too big, but there are hundreds of people sitting inside at this time.

Among this group of people, Adil also saw many acquaintances.

In addition to Angrie and Norris, the royal family members who have met, such as Claudius, are also sitting in this hall at this time.

As the prince of Gounod, despite his embarrassing status, he was indeed qualified to participate in this banquet in terms of status, so he was also invited over.

At this time, he was sitting in a corner, eating cakes alone, looking a little alone.

The surrounding nobles passed by him one by one, but they all passed by him like avoiding the plague, and no one dared to sit beside him.

Some nobles looked at him with vague disdain and ridicule, and they didn't seem to have much affection for him.

"Why are you drinking here alone?"

Seeing the loneliness of Cladis, Adil stepped in front of him and looked at him and said.

"teacher!"

Lifting his head slightly, when he saw Adil in front of him, Claudius was a little surprised and got up quickly: "Teacher, is your injury healed?"

"There is still a little injury, but it's not in the way." Adil said helplessly with a smile on his face.

"This account, I will get it back for you, teacher, sooner or later." As if thinking of something, Kladis looked at Adil with a cold look and assured him.

During the period of the end of the game, his contact with Adil has not been broken, and he often comes to the manor where Adil is for training.

Under Adil's meticulous training, his body has also changed very well, and the strength in his body is changing almost every day. By now, he has approached the threshold of a knight in the sky.

This change not only made him grateful to Adil, but also made him full of self-confidence, not afraid of any challenges.

"It's good if you have this heart." He patted Claudius on the shoulder, sensing the other party's true emotions, and Adil was also very relieved.

Professor Claudius, although he initially went for the identity of the other party's Destiny Child, he also taught himself very carefully, and some things that were considered top secrets from other knights did not hold any reservations about him.

At one time, he also regarded Cladis as his half-disciple.

"You stay here for now."

Looking at Elina behind him, he looked at Claudius in front of him and said, "Remember to be careful."

"I understand." Claudius nodded lightly, expressing his understanding.

After explaining some things, Adiel left Kladis's position and returned to Elina's side.

After a while, as time passed, the banquet began.

Around the hall, a melodious sound of music and singing sounded everywhere, with the unique low-pitched neighing style of the Maran Empire, reverberating all around.

In front of them, some well-trained dancers are dancing inexplicable dances in front of them. Many of the movements look very beautiful. With the beautiful posture and appearance of those dancers, it looks like a beautiful scenery.

In the four corners of the hall, there are constantly other shows, either the superb magic of the magician, or the delicate performance of the circus.

All kinds of programs were shown here one by one, which made all the guests watching very engaged, and the atmosphere of the banquet was warm again and again.

After the program at the banquet went on for a while, the host of this banquet also appeared in front of Adil.

It was a middle-aged man dressed in decent clothes and with a soft face, holding a scepter in his hand, and he kept explaining it on the stage.

The middle-aged man's name is Dillard, and he is the only prince in the Maran Empire who remains in the royal court. He is also the half-brother of this generation of Maran kings, and the uncle of Elina and others.

As the only prince who was left in the royal court by King Maran, this Prince Dillard was naturally extraordinary, not only his own talent was outstanding, but his knight talent was equally astonishing.

According to Elina, her uncle was already a titled knight more than ten years ago, but now, his strength may be even more terrifying.

This strength, combined with the identity and power of the other party, is definitely one of the best figures in the entire Maran Empire. Even some top nobles with radiant knights must show enough respect to this prince.

"Ya ya ya... Look who I see coming..." A low and awkward voice came from a distance.

Adil raised his head, just in time to see a tall and burly figure walking from a distance.

Canardo was wearing a wide knight's robe and holding a wine glass in his hand. He was walking from a distance, with a mocking smile on his face: "Come here, you are an opponent anyway, let me toast you."

His tone was sarcastic, and the smile on his face was awkward, which made people feel uneasy at first sight, and subconsciously wanted to stay away from him.

Sitting silently on the spot, looking at Cannado's appearance, Adil frowned secretly, but still raised the wine glass in front of him and drank the fruit wine in front of him.

"Not bad, not bad." Looking at Adil's actions, Cannado smiled exaggeratedly: "Speaking of which, we haven't finished the last battle yet."

"Exactly, this time there is a chance, why don't we just try it in this place?"

He looked at Adil, and the ridicule on his face became more and more obvious: "By the way, let the nobles who come this time appreciate the heroic appearance of our knights."

Listening to these words, Rao is also full of anger in his heart because of Adil's good temper.

No matter who it is, being provoked again and again by others will also make you angry in your heart.

What's more, the provocative person in front of him is simply an ant that can be destroyed by raising his hand to Adier.

"Cannado, don't go too far." Elina's voice sounded aside.

Looking at Canardo in front of Adil, Elina's face was cold, and her eyes were fixed on each other, as if she was looking at a dead person.
