Knights Gather Like Clouds

No more than a year and a half later, Saine returned to Grant Territory. →

This time, Saine didn't plan to stay Saine's side the family for long because his experiment had reached a critical stage, and the experiment was about Azure Fire Body Tempering.

The former Grant Territory has expanded beyond its original territory.

This was the result of coordination by the vast majority of nobles in the Lisia Alliance. Since the Grant Family has greatly increased its strength in recent years, their territory size and status should naturally be elevated accordingly.

As Level-1 Magician, Saine knew a little more.

He knew that the reason some minor nobles were willing to relinquish some territory and annex it to other noble families, including the Grant Family, was because their Old Ancestor above the first rank might have run into trouble.

Plane War are no child's play; in the Poison Fire Green Flame World War, hundreds of Formal Magician perished in the Azure Source Holy Tower.

Meanwhile, Knight of level one or above from many human kingdoms surrounding the Lisia Alliance seem to have recently been mobilized by the Knights' Hall to participate in a Plane War.

Even Saine's ancestors Ulysses and Jeremy, only returned after the war ended.

An invisible power struggle and reshuffling is taking place in several surrounding human kingdoms, including the Lisia Alliance.

Thanks to the well-established rules of the Knights' Hall, this reshuffling and upheaval did not cause any trouble for the lower echelons of the Wizard World. →

In fact, the fall of over Formal-Ranked Magician at the Azure Source Holy Tower will inevitably weaken the Magic Family of many surrounding human kingdoms.

However, so far, there has been no major upheaval, which is enough to prove the comprehensiveness of the current system.

The Ferrell Family, to which Saine's Mother belonged, was once glorious, but its current state can only be attributed to bad luck. Hopefully, it can rise again in the future.

The Grant Family was not a wealthy and extravagant noble family; at least, Saine felt that the three Knight of the family who were first-class knights or above were very frugal.

At the horse farm behind the Earl's mansion, Saine, who had just returned, met a group of Knight of level one or above from the surrounding human kingdoms and the Knights' Hall.

There was a reason why Old Grant and the others chose to hold the banquet here.

Because only this vast space can accommodate so many people.

There were at least two hundred Knight of the first rank or above present, not to mention that some Knight brought many attendants and squires.

Besides the massive figure of the Level Super Magical Beast Reverse Feather Lion King, appearing on the lawn, Saine also saw at least dozens of ferocious creatures of varying appearances.

These enormous level one and Level-2 Creature must be the mounts of the Knight present.

Not all Knight ' mounts are magical beasts from the Wizard World. On several of the strangely shaped giants, Saine sensed a distinct aura of Alien Plane creatures.

Of course, compared to these level one and Level-2 Creature that had become mounts, Saine was more concerned about the more than two hundred Knight on the lawn banquet grounds.

To be honest, Saine never expected that his great-grandfather Ulysses and Jeremy could summon so many Knight of the first rank or higher.

If it were Saine hosting a celebration party, he would definitely not be able to invite more than ten "friends," and most likely only five at most.

Saine's appearance instantly made him the most eye-catching presence at this open-air banquet.

After landing from the sky, Owl Little Qi carrying Saine flew towards the direction where the level one and Level-2 Creature mounts were located.

The Grant Family had prepared a large number of maids and waiters there to provide ample food for these first and Level-2 Creature with enormous appetites.

Fortunately, the Grant Family received a lot of gifts during this opportunity; otherwise, these dozens of Big Eater alone would have been enough to make the Grant Family pay a hefty price.

At such a celebratory banquet, the Grant Family would naturally not serve any ordinary beef or mutton. Even the flesh and blood supplied to the mounts were from Magic Beast Blood Meat or Alien Plane creatures with good taste.

After landing, Saine walked straight toward the center of the banquet where Old Grant and the others were.

However, the first to raise a loud voice was the Reverse Feather Lion King, who was originally feasting.

"Our Grant Family's Level-1 Magician has returned!" shouted the Reverse Feather Lion King.

Saine's status as a mere Level-1 Magician naturally wouldn't attract much attention from the surrounding Knight, not to mention that there were quite a few Level-2 Knight among them.

However, it was Saine's other identity that piqued the curiosity of these Knight.

Normally, given the Grant Family's connections within the Knights' Hall, they wouldn't have attracted so many Formal-Ranked Magician to come in person.

At most, the families of these Knight would send an envoy to offer their greetings and present a not-too-small gift.

But a few years ago, the Reverse Feather Lion King carried Ulysses back to the main hall of the Knights' Hall. After it made a great scene in the Knights' Hall with its loud voice, it was hard for the other Knight not to know the True Details of the Grant Family.

After first nodding to his father, Old Grant, Ulysses, the great-grandfather standing next to Old Grant, introduced Sain to a burly Knight standing beside Saine.

This Knight, who was over three meters tall, had thick, reddish-brown fur, and was exceptionally strong, was one of the focal points of all the Knight present.

This is a Level-3 Knight, and currently the most distinguished guest of the Grant Family.

"This is Snap Knight, from the Ok Empire, a lifelong friend of our Grant Family," Ulysses' great-grandfather said to Saine.

When his great-grandfather introduced the Level-3 Knight to Saine, the first thing that came to Saine's mind was his father, Earl Grant, who, in his youth, had led the army of the Lisia Alliance to resist the invasion of the Ok Empire's legions.

It seems that the nickname "Bauhinia Flower Earl" was earned by Old Grant when he led his legion to counterattack and break into the territory of the Ok Empire.

Despite Saine incredibly young age and reputation as a genius, his Laozi was no slouch either.

At least in the realm of Knight, Old Grant was an outstanding elite in the Lisia Alliance back then, otherwise his two great-grandfathers wouldn't have placed such high hopes on him for promotion.

The thought flashed through his mind in an instant; of course, Saine couldn't possibly mention his father's past achievements to the Level-3 Knight in front of him.

Disputes between secular human kingdoms are rarely involved in the social circles of those at level one or above.

Under the constraints of the Knights' Hall rules, everyone at least outwardly behaved respectably.

"Greetings, Snap Knight," said Saine with a mage's salute.

Snap Knight was clearly familiar with Mage etiquette; he smiled and nodded, saying in a friendly tone, "Hello, Saine Mage. You are indeed as young as the rumors suggest."

"I've had several dealings with Enpei Li, the dean of your Azure Source Holy Tower. I heard you just ended a Plane War?"
