The Man Who Defeated the Sword Saint

Karsten Villa, guest room.

"What exactly happened?"

Sitting on the sofa, Emilia's expression was full of confusion and unease.

"Why did Lady Crusch suddenly invite us to stay?"

Emilia's confusion is also the same as Fang Li and Rem's doubts.

However, Rem didn't think too much about it and, as a dutiful servant, chose to listen in.

Fang Li had been leaning against the wall since the beginning, his hand unconsciously stroking the Knight Sword at his waist, somewhat lost in thought.

Recalling how Crusch had been paying attention to his behavior in the reception room, Fang Li stood up thoughtfully.

Immediately, Fang Li murmured to himself.

"Is it because of me?"

Otherwise, there would be no way to explain what Crusch meant by that glance.

"Unexpectedly, the butterfly effect, which has had little effect since I came to this world, is manifesting itself here."

However, upon closer reflection, perhaps this is the kind of development that should have occurred?

After arriving in this world, Fang Li tried his best to restrain his actions in order to focus on the affairs of the Witch Cult, but his very existence would inevitably have some impact.

Fang Li personally dealt with people like Elsa, who came to stop Emilia from holding the Royal Selection, or the Curse Arts who spread curses in the Mezas Territory. It would be strange if he didn't have any impact.

However, Fang Li's influence does not seem to have affected the Witch Cult, or perhaps it has even suppressed the Witch Cult's emergence, which is why the Witch Cult has been operating in the shadows without any news.

However, at the Royal Selection meeting, Fang Li drastically changed Emilia's treatment in front of all the high-ranking officials of the kingdom, entering the kingdom's public eye in the most eye-catching way.

This naturally resulted in an enormous impact.

Being invited to join the Royal Guard Knights was one outcome.

The current situation, resulting from the negotiations in this mansion, is also a consequence.

"As expected, the Main God Envoy will inevitably bring about a change to a world, no matter what?"

After all, the Main God Envoy is a figure who does not exist in this world.

Just as a stone thrown into a calm lake will inevitably create ripples, once the stone of the Main God Envoy is thrown in, the original world will inevitably undergo more or less change due to the butterfly effect.

This is something that has happened in every Instance World Fang Li has experienced to this day.

"So, what impact have I had this time?"

Fang Li pondered this.

Ultimately, considering the plot of the original work and after much deliberation, Fang Li could only conceive of one possibility.

So, Fang Li raised his head, looked at Emilia and Rem, and spoke.

"I'm going outside for a walk. Don't overthink it. Just rest here today and think about how to conduct tomorrow's negotiations."

Upon hearing this, Emilia and Rem exchanged a glance, and in the end, they could only nod.

Fang Li then smiled slightly, waved to the two girls, and walked out of the room.

I walked towards the outer courtyard.

The weather is exceptionally sunny today.

Sunlight streamed down from the sky, bathing the entire Karsten Villa in golden light and illuminating the lawn that covered the ground.

When Fang Li came out of the mansion and entered the courtyard, he immediately saw this scene.

"Drink!"

With a deep shout, Wilhelm, gripping a Knight Sword tightly, suddenly unleashed a slash.

The Knight Sword cleanly sliced through the wind, producing a sharp, piercing sound that surprisingly had a pleasant quality to it.

However, such a satisfying slash is by no means ordinary.

First of all, the speed is astonishing.

It was as if only an arc of light flashed through the space. If it were an ordinary person, they might think that they were seeing things and that their eyes had just flickered.

Secondly, the force of the strike is also extremely important.

Although the wind was cleanly and decisively cut through, the atmosphere remained undisturbed, as if only the path of the Knight Sword had created any movement, without generating any strong wind.

It is easy to imagine how skillfully the person who swung the sword used to control the movement.

The essence of it may only be discerned by those who have experienced countless battles.

Wilhelm sheathed his Knight Sword, turned around, bowed to Fang Li, and said the following.

"I'm sorry you had to see this."

"Is this laughable?" Fang Li said with a chuckle. "If this skill is considered laughable, then more than half of the Royal Guard Knights would probably have to pack their bags and go home."

"I am merely honored by your high regard," Wilhelm said expressionlessly. "After all, I am just a butler, and my skills in wielding swords and spears may no longer be on par with those of today's young people."

"You're joking, Mr. Wilhelm." Fang Li glanced at Wilhelm and said dismissively, "If even the legendary ' Sword Demon ' is just a mere butler, then this world is truly too high-class."

————"Sword Demon".

In the current kingdom, this title is in no way inferior to the name "Sword Saint".

Because the person who holds this title once disregarded the existence of friendly forces in a war, rampaged across the battlefield, charged into the enemy lines, and caused the enemy army to collapse in defeat, leaving behind a bloody storm before returning unscathed, thus earning this title.

Moreover, not long after that, the person who held this title defeated the previous "Sword Saint" and eventually became the captain of the Royal Guard Knights, leaving behind amazing achievements and legends.

This man is the gentleman in front of us, who is over fifty years old— Wilhelm Trias.

That's why this old man possessed such sharp sword energy and a profound aura.

Unfortunately, Wilhelm remained unmoved.

"That's all in the past now. I've left the Royal Guard Knights and am just a deacon serving Duke Karsten."

Wilhelm raised his eyes and looked at Fang Li, saying, "You are the real expert. I could feel the killing intent that stung my skin when we first met. However, I did not expect that you would eventually join the Royal Guard Knights."

As he said this, an immense pressure began to rise from Wilhelm's body.

Then, he said this to Fang Li.

"Why don't you come up and give me some pointers?"

The implication is self-evident.

Feeling the immense pressure, Fang Li merely curled the corners of his lips in response.

"Then I shall respectfully comply."
