"So that's how it was. King Carlfer truly had resolve—he was willing to trade one arm for the lives of two enemies!" Nalant could not help sighing. Someone who could become king was no ordinary character.

"You're wrong, Nalant. His Majesty's arm was not injured at that time!" Yet just as Nalant finished speaking, Bernard shook his head.

Nalant froze, though he did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he asked curiously, "My Lord Earl, could it be that they realized King Carlfer was too formidable, so they surrounded and attacked him again?"

Bernard did not answer Nalant immediately. Instead, he cautiously raised his eyes and scanned their surroundings.

Nalant's heart tightened at the sight. There was probably some other twist to this matter.

Sure enough, only after confirming that everyone around them was five or six meters away and that no one was secretly paying attention to them did Bernard speak in a low voice.

"Nalant, this matter was not originally something minor nobles should know. But you are different! I'll tell you now, but remember—you must keep it secret, or it may cause panic!"

"Yes, My Lord Earl!" Nalant immediately composed himself, eager to hear what kind of news could make an earl like Bernard so solemn.

Having received his response, Bernard no longer delayed. "The one who injured His Majesty was not those Gold Knights, but that church Bishop Meyer!"

"Bishop Meyer? My Lord Earl, I observed him at the time. He didn't seem to have any Battle Qi fluctuations on him!" Nalant was startled.

Generally speaking, as long as one was a Title Knight, they could sense the Battle Qi fluctuations on another person.

Of course, when not in battle, those fluctuations could be concealed somewhat by deliberately slowing the circulation of Battle Qi through one's qi channels.
