Leo glanced at the knights and said, "So, could someone come and tell me where you got this so-called demon armor?"
Peter stood there, his expression stiff.
The other knights were also still reeling from the shock they had just witnessed.
Leo walked toward Peter.
Peter quickly raised his spear and said, "Leo, don't come any closer. Just because you can kill a Sky Knight doesn't mean you can kill me, a Star Knight."
Seeing this, Leo stepped forward and swiftly brought down his knife.
Peter's head was severed in an instant.
Leo said calmly, "If I can bring you to this level, I can easily kill you once you reach this level."
Peter's death did not enrage the knights.
For centuries, the knights, who had been ridden on the heads of wizards and treated as their masters, possessed none of the pride of knighthood that the wizards spoke of.
Even after their leader was killed, they still couldn't muster the slightest hostility or hatred towards the wizard.
These knights dared to attack Leo only because they trusted the demon armor.
Now that the demon armor can no longer defend against Leo, their confidence has vanished, and they have reverted to being knights whose spines were broken before.
Leo took in the situation of these knights and said, "Besides him, do you have anyone else who can speak to you?"
Leo had forgotten Peter's name, but recognized him from his appearance as the knight he had granted the powerful physical strength.
Leo's gaze was cold, like a god looking down upon his creation, giving the knights an unparalleled sense of pressure.
"My lord wizard, I...I...I..."
Just then, a young, short sky knight approached Leo happily and said, "Wizard Leo, my name is Tuo'er. It's my pleasure to serve you."
"This Peter guy, after he got the demon armor, he became incredibly arrogant, even saying that wizards were all useless. But I wouldn't dare think that way. I only refrained from contradicting him because of his strength."
"Now that you, my lord wizard, are here, I can speak freely."
"He is a foolish knight who betrayed you, Lord Leo."
Seeing that he couldn't stop rambling, Leo waved his hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense and answer my question. Where did this demon armor come from?"
Tuo'er had originally intended to utter a long speech expressing loyalty, but upon hearing this, he knew that such a tactic would be ineffective against Leo. He quickly changed his tune, saying, "Lord Leo, this was obtained by Peter from a mysterious man. He claimed to be a blacksmith and said he had forged equipment capable of defeating wizards. He said that by wearing this equipment, we could easily defeat wizards and restore the glory of our knights. But there's no such thing as a free lunch. Defeating wizards? That's a pipe dream."
Tuo Er started talking non-stop.
However, aside from the important point mentioned at the beginning, the rest was all flattery.
Leo asked, "Can you find this mysterious person?"
After a moment's hesitation, Tor said, "Master Leo, we don't know this person's background either, but he comes here regularly every month. I can help you capture him then."
Leo hadn't expected to find anyone immediately.
Just as the second prophecy of Augusta was about to come true, this person appeared.
This person is most likely Augusta's backup plan.
It's even possible that the data on these demonic armors was leaked to Augusta by Anthony.
As for why Leo would think that way.
The reason is also very simple.
Anthony is similar to Nova; he has also constructed the prototype of a permanent defensive force field and is about to break through to the state of a formal wizard.
The biggest enemy standing in Anthony's way is Kindley, a formal wizard.
Even though Kindley's permanent defensive field is now sealed, it would still be easy for a formal wizard to deal with a first-class wizard apprentice.
Besides Kindley, other formal wizards, like Nova, would keep an eye on him, trying to absorb and improve upon his combo spells.
In this situation, the best way for Anthony to break through to become a formal wizard more smoothly is to find a wizard with sufficient ability to protect him.
Speaking of abilities, no wizard in the entire Tower of Dawn can come close to the Tower Master Augusta.
However, getting Augusta's help won't be easy.
The only thing that could interest Augusta was the fulfillment of his prophecies.
And coincidentally, the exoskeleton magic absorption equipment in Anthony's possession could enhance the effect of the second prophecy.
The knights mentioned in the second prophecy would normally be unable to threaten the wizard apprentices of the Tower of Dawn.
However, the prophecy mentions the knights' performance.
Based on the order of the prophecies and their interpretation, although the knights did not indicate in the prophecies that they had a significant advantage, they could at least cause some trouble for the wizards.
However, even if all the knights used the secret method for advancing to Sky Knights perfected by Leo, given their strength, they wouldn't pose much of a threat to the wizard apprentices.
For knights, the Sky Knights represent the pinnacle of strength.
However, in the eyes of wizard apprentices, the so-called Sky Knights could only cause a little trouble for second-class wizard apprentices. But that was all. Not to mention first-class wizard apprentices, even among second-class wizard apprentices, there were many wizard apprentices who could easily defeat Sky Knights.
If the knights want to cause trouble, they can only do what the previous noble century-old plan did: have the wandering wizards take action themselves.
However, once the wandering wizard makes his move, the prophecy becomes less accurate.
After all, the century-long plan was orchestrated by the nobles.
The knights could only stare wide-eyed as the wizards on either side went about their business.
It has absolutely no impact on the battlefield whatsoever.
In this context, if the exoskeleton magic absorption equipment researched by Anthony were equipped on the knights, the Sky Knights would have a significant advantage over second-class wizard apprentices, thus facilitating the smooth progress of the prophecy.
Of course, Leo also had no evidence to prove that it was Anthony who leaked the research information to Augusta, or that the mysterious person who gave the Glory Knights the Demon Armor was sent by Augusta.
However, this does not prevent Leo from making this conjecture.
However, even if Leo's guess was correct, he didn't care that Anthony was playing both sides.
Without Leo's help, Anthony probably wouldn't have been able to create the exoskeleton magic absorption equipment.
Moreover, compared to the exoskeleton magic absorption equipment that Anthony showed Leo, the demon armor used by these knights was obviously of a much lower grade.
"My lord wizard, we've actually captured another wizard."
Suddenly, Tor said, "Should we release this wizard now?"
Leo said, "Let it go."
