Chapter 32: Fortunately, He’s on Our Side

    Su Nan watched the scene before him with an indifferent expression.

    Normally, a middle-aged knight, even if not an opponent for the Infiltrator, wouldn’t be killed so quickly.

    The key was that he didn’t understand the Infiltrator’s abilities at all, and didn’t even realize the Infiltrator’s existence from the beginning, so he was killed in the first encounter.

    Information disparity could sometimes be fatal.

    Withdrawing his gaze, Su Nan turned to look at the Black Sword Knight.

    Meeting Su Nan’s eyes, the Black Sword Knight instantly felt a chill run through his body.

    He could see that the terrifying beast was being controlled by Su Nan from behind.

    This was the power of a Wizard?

    As rumored, it was truly uncanny!

    With the death of his companion, the situation had become extremely unfavorable for the Black Sword Knight.

    In a flash, he made his decision, transforming into a blur, darting towards Su Nan like a ghost in the night.

    As long as he killed Su Nan, the beast would likely fall into chaos. Even for just a moment, he could escape.

    Seeing the assassin rushing towards Su Nan, but the giant lizard still tens of meters away and unable to provide timely support, Kei’s face turned pale, and he instinctively wanted to rush forward to stop him.

    However, he then saw Su Nan’s calm and composed expression, and his footsteps abruptly stopped, halting in place.

    “Die!”

    In a blink of an eye, the Black Sword Knight had charged forward a hundred meters, his black sword slashing down violently. Where the blade passed, a crescent-shaped sword energy formed out of thin air, piercing the void with lightning speed, attacking Su Nan.

    Emitting Martial Energy!

    A long-range attack technique only mastered by Great Knights!

    Seeing the sword energy about to strike Su Nan, a hint of joy flashed in the Black Sword Knight’s eyes.

    But the next moment, his expression froze.

    In the astonished gazes of everyone present, the sword energy seemed to collide with something invisible, and with a hiss, it dissipated and vanished.

    The impact force rippled through the air, vaguely outlining the shape of a tower shield.

    “!!!”

    The Black Sword Knight widened his eyes in shock.

    What in the world was that?!

    Before he could recover, Su Nan had already raised his hand, holding a shimmering red gemstone between his extended index finger and thumb.

    Under the moonlight, the blue and green patterns on the gemstone surface flickered with a beautiful brilliance, exceptionally eye-catching.

    The next second, Su Nan threw the gemstone violently.

    Boom!

    But they were all second-rate.

    Let alone a Great Knight-level assassin, even an assassin guild that could find a knight was considered a top-tier organization in the assassin world.

    At least Kei and Su Nan, both born into noble families, had never heard of any assassin guild with Great Knight-level members.

    Su Nan thought for a moment and said, “Owen certainly doesn’t have the power to do that. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had to endure it until after our father died before tearing up the agreement. I guess it’s most likely the connections of Duke Goldenrock.”

    Kei’s eyebrows twitched, and the more he thought about it, the more he agreed with Su Nan, his face growing even more solemn.

    He could still handle Owen, but if Duke Goldenrock interfered, then things would be troublesome.

    After all, the latter was the actual ruler of Goldenrock Province, with an army of tens of thousands.

    Blackstone City was just a slightly larger ant in his eyes.

    Seeing Kei’s changing expression, Su Nan calmly said, “Don’t worry, Duke Goldenrock didn’t intervene directly before, which means he still cares about the rules between nobles. He wouldn’t personally take action to seize the territory of his vassal. We just need to be wary of the killers he sends.”

    Kei thought about it and realized this was true, a sigh of relief escaping his chest.

    Coming to his senses, seeing Su Nan’s calm demeanor, he couldn’t help but feel secretly ashamed.

    Even though he was the lord, he was less calm than Su Nan when faced with problems. It seemed his temperament still needed to be honed.

    Little did he know, the reason Su Nan was so calm was that he didn’t really care much about the territory.

    He had already survived the most difficult novice stage. Even if the territory was taken away, he would only lose a stable source of income.

    He could simply take Kei to the Rose Thorn Duchy and lay low, waiting to return and eliminate his enemies after becoming a Wizard.

    As for making money, he had countless ways.

    Of course, it would be even better if he could keep the territory.

    After all, having his own power base made it much easier to make money and gather resources.

    However, he wouldn’t say these words to Kei.

    Not far away, Jordan was asking Brad about what had happened.

    After listening to Brad’s account, Jordan couldn’t help but widen his eyes and look around.

    A ten-meter-long lizard that could easily crush a Great Knight, this was too unbelievable, it was like listening to a knight’s novel.

    Seeing Jordan’s gaze darting around, Brad said impatiently, “Don’t look for it, it’s been said that the giant lizard can hide. Even a Great Knight couldn’t detect its presence, how could you see it?”

    Jordan scratched his head, saying sheepishly, “I’m just curious. By the way, Lord Su Nan is too powerful. The giant lizard was only at the peak Knight level before, and it’s only been a few months since he captured it to train it. It can actually kill a Great Knight now, which is incredible!”

    The surrounding knights all nodded in agreement.

    Who wouldn’t say so.

    Every time they witnessed Lord Su Nan’s fighting techniques, they felt like their worldviews were being refreshed.

    Thank goodness such a powerful person was on their side. If he were their enemy, just thinking about it would give them chills.
