After Blue Knight came in, she looked at Lu Yuan and said,
"Your performance today has caught Astrologer Grand Knight Commander's attention."
Lu Yuan froze. He immediately realized that this was the person Oden had mentioned, the one watching him from the shadows. It was probably this Astrologer Grand Knight Commander.
"And then?" Lu Yuan looked at Blue Knight. "Did you come to tell me not to catch his attention?"
Because Lu Yuan keenly sensed that something was off in Blue Knight's tone. If it were good news, she wouldn't have put it that way.
Blue Knight fell silent for a moment.
"If you face someone in tomorrow's battles, I hope you'll go easy on them," Blue Knight continued.
"I'm well aware of your strength. Other than Blanca among this group, it'll be difficult for anyone else to pose a threat to you. So in tomorrow's battles, no matter who you face, I hope you'll go easy on them and let yourself lose. Your deliberate loss won't affect any ranking rewards in these battles. So whether you win or lose doesn't make much difference."
Lu Yuan was a little puzzled.
"Why? Because of Astrologer Grand Knight Commander?"
Blue Knight hesitated slightly before speaking.
"Yes. Since you've entered Astrologer Grand Knight Commander's sight, you may get caught up in some unnecessary conflict. I'm not entirely sure where that conflict comes from. But I've been at the Northern Branch for quite a long time, and I've vaguely heard some things. Not a single person connected to Astrologer Grand Knight Commander has come to a good end. Of course, the choice is yours. You can choose to win, or you can choose to lose."
The room fell quiet for several breaths.
The firewood in the fireplace crackled softly.
Lu Yuan didn't answer right
