Chapter 16 - Chapter 16

The Sword God seemed to be sitting on a fire. The longer he stayed here, the more uneasy he felt.

"Your magic is truly wonderful. I gotta hand it to you, sir."

August laughed in praise, then he immediately stood up and placed a hand on his chest.

"My student may have caused you a little trouble. I hope you will forgive her."

"This is a thank you gift for taking care of her. Please accept it."

Having said that, August took out a wooden box. Inside the wooden box is a sparkling gem, containing a powerful source of energy.

"It's okay, Alva has great potential."

Noir received the wooden box and said nothing more.

The two people's interactions were extremely strange in Alva's eyes. She wanted to say something, but August interrupted her.

"Alva, say goodbye and go home. You've been out for quite a while, so you should return to your army."

"Oh, but..."

"What? Do you want to continue staying here to bother him?"

"No…"

"Then what's the reason?"

August's voice was low, this student was still very understanding and obedient during normal days, why did she oppose him now?

Alva simply couldn't know how dangerous this silver-gray-haired young man was.

"Brenna of the Witch Association is about to become a God!"

Alva finally made up his mind and shouted loudly. The content in it made the Sword God stunned.

Brenna is about to become a God?

This is so unbelievable.

Brenna belongs to August's previous generation. An individual with good talent, but like many other Demigods, he was stuck at God's door.

Now, someone from the next generation like August has already reached the peak level of Demigod, but after so long, Brenna is still the same Demigod. It can be certain that all potential has been exhausted, wanting to set foot on God level is just a dream.

Who would believe this if he said it?

"Alva, this shouldn't be a joke."

"No, I'm not lying. If you don't believe me, then master ask Mr. Noir to know."

Hearing this, August also hesitated a bit. He turned to Noir and asked incredulously.

"What Alva said… is it true?

"Of course it's true."

"Her method of becoming a God was also guided by me."

When August wanted to take Alva away, Noir intended to stop him a bit to introduce the service. Unexpectedly, Alva did it himself first, unintentionally increasing Noir's prestige.

August was speechless, because this was too melodramatic.

Without the need for a system, at this moment Noir could still completely guess what was running in August's mind. Simply "it's unbelievable, how is this possible?" that's it.

So he added another sentence.

"Perhaps you don't know me very well, Sword God August. But I know a lot of things, more than you can imagine."

"Something that gradually moves toward chaos and decline is inevitable. Nothing is eternal, whether good or bad."

After that, Noir didn't need to say anything more. Because he thought he had hinted enough.

The reason smart people are smart is because they can read one thing and infer ten things. Noir firmly believed that the Sword God had also understood what he wanted to say, one way or another.

August remained silent.

Nothing is permanent.

The Knight Association is not a small force, it has even existed for so long that it can be counted as hundreds of thousands of years.

However, August understood his organization well.

The Grand Elder Lord is no longer there, and his combat power is no different than more than half of the loss. This transformed the Knight Association from a powerful organization respected by everyone into a delicious grilled chicken that everyone wanted to come and eat a piece of chicken. Especially for the Witch Association.

The Knight Association and the Witch Association have been in a state of opposition to each other for a long time now. The operating areas of the two sides are quite close to each other, friction and confrontation are never lacking. However, because neither side can do anything to the other side, a new war has not yet broken out.

However, if this secret is revealed, August is sure that tomorrow there will be war.

At that time, standing before a Witch Association that was still full of power. Whether a Knight Association that has lost its Grand Elder Lord can still exist or not is also a mystery.

"If you don't have anything else, I'll leave."

August spoke in a deep voice.

He knows that nothing can be kept hidden forever. While time is not yet exhausted, he must take advantage of the opportunity to find some allies for the Knight Association.

"If you step outside, you will lose your opportunity."

"In the future, when you step inside here again, the price to pay will be much higher."

Noir raised the tea cup and took a sip, speaking calmly.

"Relying on the help of others is not as good as relying on the sword at your side. A large organization disappearing is an accident to normal people. But for other large organizations, it is like a plate of cake placed in front of them."

"If the others knew that the Knight Association was weakened, then do you think they would reach out to help, or would they…"

In this world, although there is a division between good and bad, everything is only on a relative level.

In front of interests, what is good and what is bad can be completely ignored. The amount of treasures and assets that the Knight Association has stored for hundreds of thousands of years can arouse anyone's greed.

Alva also realized at this time that something was wrong. It seemed that in the conversation between Noir and the Sword God, there was another layer of meaning hidden that she could not know.

"In the end… what do you want?"

August's face was extremely unsightly.

If he had only speculated before, Noir might have known about the Grand Elder Lord of the Knight Association. But now he can consider it a definite assertion and no longer a speculation.

The biggest secret is known to strangers, even if everyone will be on pines and needles.

In August's mind, the thought of wanting to eliminate Noir appeared so that the secret would not be revealed. But as soon as this idea appeared, August heard Noir's calm voice ringing in his ears.

"Sword God, your hand holding the sword is a bit tight."
