The Frost Knight Awakens / A Clash of Will and Strength

Zofia waved her hand, letting Suika go play by herself, while she continued to deal with the series of negative consequences that followed Suika's rescue.

She was worried that those who had been knocked unconscious by Suika might have left some kind of backup plan on the Frost Knight, or that Suika might be discovered when she left with the Frost Knight.

Fortunately, none of these apply.

When those people awoke, half of them went insane, while the rest claimed that it was the Ursus people who brought terror and cold and took away the Frost Knight.

When these people's confessions reached the Armorless Union, the Armorless Union was horrified. They then reinforced their troops in the Ursus direction and sternly warned Ursus to keep their Internal Guards in check and not to cause any more trouble in Kazimierz's territory.

Zofia, who had been following the news closely, was very curious about how Suika had managed to make the Armorless Union mistakenly believe that the Ursus Internal Guards was behind it.

However, this was after the Knight's Tournament had ended, Suika had already left Kazimierz.

Now, after saying goodbye to Zofia, Suika returned to the hotel, leaving behind a letter before leaving.

Then tell Zofia that if the Frost Knight doesn't want to stay here and has nowhere else to go, give him this letter.

This is a letter of recommendation, and the destination is Elisa Swire in Victoria.

Chapter 257 The Awakening Frost Knight

The reason for Suika Swire also a well-thought-out consideration.

First of all, as a wounded soldier, the doctors here said that even if he survives, he will basically be disabled, so we can't let him go too far.

Of the few factions he knew that could accept him, Lungmen Rescue was too far away, so he didn't need to consider it at all.

Rhodes Island could accept this person with a letter, given the little rabbit's kindness. But putting aside Rhodes Island's unpredictable whereabouts, what could this person possibly do there?

Don't let Rhodes Island's small size fool you; it has everything you need.

Without the ability to fight, the Frost Knight have no place on Rhodes Island.

So when you get there and can't do anything, the idea that you're a useless person will become even more deeply ingrained.

Once this idea takes root and cannot be alleviated, the ultimate outcome will either be self-destruction or madness.

This was a double loss for Suika, who had originally intended to give him a second chance.

So, among all the people Suika knows—who are close enough to accept this disabled knight, and who can also help him with his eyesight and experience—only the Swire family is suitable.

Moreover, there's another advantage to Swire: if I have the opportunity to summon a doctor like Yagokoro Eirin again, who can restore me to my peak condition, then at least when facing Elisa, I won't need to explain too much.

But Kal'tsit and Warfarin would definitely trace the origins of this thing that brings flesh back to life and bones back to its original state.

Therefore, to avoid trouble, unless there is a special reason, Suika would definitely not be recommended to Rhodes Island.

The next day, Diarmuid woke up and was surprised to see the unfamiliar ceiling.

He thought his life had ended in such an unclear way, but he was actually brought back to life.

However, the intense pain in his limbs upon waking up made him frown.

As he tried to raise his hand, he found he had no control over his clenched fist.

"I'm useless."

This was his first instinctive reaction.

"Oh dear, are you awake!"

Zofia, the patient, has woken up.

"Don't move. The tendons in your hands and legs have been severed. Although they've been reattached, you definitely can't continue to compete in Knight's Tournament in the ring."

A woman's voice came from behind him, and he was stunned when he saw Zofia push open the door and enter.

The light illuminating Zofia's blonde hair reminded him of the two Pegasus Knights he had met when he was young.

In that instant, his childhood memories began to overlap with his present, and the blond-haired knight Kuranta saved him from the brink of death twice.

He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say to Zofia.

"Frost Knight Diarmuid, do you remember me?" Zofia looked down at the man on the hospital bed.

"You... you are Whiplash Instructor?" As the filter of memory faded, Diarmuid recognized the woman in front of him as Whiplash, who had served as a female knight instructor at the Knight Training Camp for a period of time.

"That's right, it's me..."

I thought you found a powerful backer after leaving the training camp, but it seems that backer doesn't want you anymore...

Zofia looked into the other person's eyes and spoke calmly and coldly.

Hearing her words, Diarmuid pursed his somewhat dry lips. He wanted to say that he was as loyal to his master as ever, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

After all, the person he thought would be the one he could protect had turned him into the cripple he is today, and was even planning to kill him.

Although he didn't know why he was here, he was well aware of the reputation of the person in front of him.

She was definitely not that person's friend; on the contrary, those self-proclaimed knights and nobles of the Armorless Union were her and the Nearl Family she represented from the very beginning.

"Thank you for saving me..." Diarmuid wasn't bothered by Zofia's almost sarcastic words, because she was stating the truth.

If he still possessed a shred of knightly pride before last night, his former master, who crushed that pride, made him realize that in their eyes, he was not even as good as a Cloud Beast that could amuse them.

"I didn't save you; you were found by someone else, rescued, and brought to me as trouble..."

There's no need for you to try and repay a debt of gratitude, after all, you are now...

Zofia didn't say anything more, but the three people present understood what she meant.

"The people who saved you hope to heal you, but given your injuries, all we can do is ensure you can move around like a normal person again."

As for the others, perhaps only certain research institutes in Columbia might have something that can restore you.

This is the letter that person left for you.

She said, "If that guy wakes up and doesn't think about revenge, isn't so dejected as to go back to his hometown to wait for death, and has nowhere else to go, he can use this letter to go to the address inside and stay there for a while."

After she finished speaking, she placed the letter next to Diarmuid's bed.

"Don't overthink it, just focus on recovering."

Given your current condition, you won't be able to get out of bed for at least six months.

If you really do as she says, then it's not too late to check the address on the letter.

Get some rest!

After saying that, Zofia nodded to the doctor and the two walked out.

Diarmuid tilted his head to look at the letter on the bedside table not far away, then looked down at his own hands, which could only be raised and lowered, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Is there anyone who needs someone like me?"

Meanwhile, Suika, having done another good deed, returned to her hotel in Kawaleriel with satisfaction.

After she returned, the clone inside the room nodded to her and then disappeared.

Suika then learned that the hotel staff had come looking for her while she was away rescuing the Frost Knight.

The reason, of course, was that the other party asked Suika if she had any plans to go to the Knight's Tournament again, and left a quote for seats at the venue.

There were seats available from VIPs to regular VIPs, and the prices were half the cost of what Suika had heard from Tony's family and the Terrifying Martin Bar.

The clone took it upon themselves to book a few games for Suika in the front row of the regular seats for tomorrow noon.

And among those matches, there happened to be the Candle Knight, in addition to a match between the Rust-Copper Knight and the Blood Knight.

The latter, being the most dazzling match of tomorrow, is undoubtedly the focus of attention.

Many believe that the Rust-Copper Knight is capable of becoming a solo knight, and tomorrow's battle against the Blood Knight is seen by everyone as an important match for him to prove his identity.

However, based on what Suika knows, this Rust-Copper Knight will still have this name in the competition held a year or two later, so he will undoubtedly lose badly in this battle to prove his skill.

Chapter 258 A Clash of Will and Strength

Being unexpectedly charged money by a clone is certainly not a pleasant experience.

But on second thought, this is also a good thing.

At least the staff here can vouch for me that I stayed in my room all night and didn't go out.

Thinking about this, Suika was quite happy.

When I woke up the next morning, I saw a waiter standing properly at the door as soon as I opened it.

Only after I opened the door did they respectfully hand over the noon ticket that my clone had bought the night before.

After getting her tickets, Suika asked about a few more landmarks in Kawaleriel, preparing to visit them.

Since I'm already here and have done a good deed, I'd feel bad if I didn't reward myself.

The waiter then marked the locations of several places, including the city square and the knight statue, on his tourist map.

Picking up the map, Suika walked out of the hotel with satisfaction.

First of all, eating and drinking are the most important things in life. Just thinking about that hamburger yesterday morning Suika my mouth water.

First, I went to that shop and ordered two burgers that looked unfamiliar. Why did I order something I hadn't tried before? Well, it's all about exploring (pfft) the new experience of tourism. What's the point of eating the same thing every day?

Of course, Sami's Pickled Fowlbeast is an exception; she never wants to touch such a thing in her entire life.

After finishing my meal, I looked around and didn't see Maria today, which was a bit of a disappointment, but also quite normal.

She took out a map and looked at it. Considering that she would be going back to watch the game later, she decided to go to two nearby landmarks.

This visit went very smoothly. Suika was just like any other tourist, taking photos at the tourist attractions and buying an expensive meal nearby.

It was almost 11 o'clock when we finished visiting the second location.

She then hailed an intercity carriage to take her outside the stadium.

Upon entering, a series of cheers erupted like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down.

Upon entering, I discovered that the Candle Knight's match was already underway.

One side is the Candle Knight, and the other side is also...

The other side is also a knight.

However, he's called the Netherflame Knight.

Considering that both sides are involved with fire, and it's broad daylight, the venue thoughtfully set up a barrier between the competition area and the audience to prevent flames from burning them.

"I will continue to bring victory to my supporters." On the field, the host handed the microphone to the Candle Knight. His voice, which was not as gentle as a knight's, was filled with firm belief, which made the audience cheer once again.

"Destruction! The Netherfire will bring destruction to my opponent!" Compared to the other knight, the one on the other side was undoubtedly much more arrogant, raising his hands and shouting arrogantly.

Then another round of cheers erupted.

Given the commotion he's making, the battle that's about to unfold is sure to be quite exciting.

After the two were introduced, and with them standing on either side of the arena, the competition officially began.

Just like in the last match, the Candle Knight did not attack first, but instead raised his weapon and waited carefully, probing his opponent's fighting style.

From the sidelines Suika looked at the Netherflame Knight with his flowing red hair and felt a strong sense of déjà vu.

He then picked up a list of introductions for both teams from the sidelines, and upon reading it, he suddenly understood.

This Netherflame Knight possesses some Nightmare bloodline; although his bloodline is not pure, it still brings him great benefits.

For example, his flames contain a power that can erode willpower, which is why he is invincible—his opponents are burned by the flames both physically and mentally, and ultimately cannot bear the pain and lose to him.

As always, he charged toward the Candle Knight with raging flames.

In his view, the woman in front of him was only fortunate to have a single-word title.

Compared to herself, her strength was negligible.

He not only wanted to win, but also to utterly crush his opponent, so that more people would cheer for his well-deserved victory.

However, as soon as they exchanged blows, he sensed something was wrong.

The opponent looked delicate and frail, with thin arms and legs, but her seemingly fragile rapier actually blocked the two-handed sword that was coming down on her head.

Even under the blazing sun, the candlelight in her hand remained dazzling, forming a dense protective circle around her within a two-meter radius.

Its own flames tried to get closer several times, but were pushed back by a tenacious force.

After several unsuccessful attacks, the Netherflame Knight prepared to regroup and look for an opportunity.

After all, this round of fierce attacks looked powerful and visually appealing, but it was undeniable that it also consumed a lot of his energy.

But the instant he retreated, the Candle Knight's rapier followed him with lightning speed, penetrating every crevice.

The Netherflame Knight clearly hadn't expected his opponent's attack and defense to change so quickly. He was caught off guard and his defense was a beat too slow. Countless gashes instantly appeared on his body, marks left by the rapier.
