C18 A Bad Omen in the Dark

CHAPTER 18. THE WARNING TO THE DARKNESS.

Northernmost Knight Organization Base, number? Mechanical Warehouse.

"So —" Lancelot looked at Arthur with a terrifying expression that seemed like he wanted to kill someone, then threw down the screwdriver in his hand. "You're letting him find me?! "

"I'm sorry." Arthur apologized absentmindedly, but he kept thinking of all sorts of excuses to persuade his.

"Didn't I tell you it was a secret between us?" Why did you solemnly promise me that? Always retorting over and over again? "The Golden Haired Boy became even angrier.

"It's only the second time." And Kay knows about you. So, it shouldn't have been the last time, right? Arthur pretended to be innocent and looked at his friend with his big black eyes.

"The question is not [how many times]!" Lancelot's face had turned red.

"I won't tell." I promise. "Besides, who would believe the nonsense of a lowly orc?" "

"Stop interrupting!" "Lancelot was furious, he even cursed Bedivere, who interrupted his.

Werewolf Boy, who was frightened out of his wits, fell onto the ground with his butt, raising a pile of dust on the ground.

"Cough, cough …" Lancelot was really fierce, bullying even the children. Arthur pretended that it was none of his business. "Why is he so gentle towards animals when he's young?" Didn't the puppy that he raised cry for three days and three nights? "

Annoyed and embarrassed, Lancelot shot Arthur a fierce glance: "You! — I will settle this score with you in the future! Then he looked at Werewolf Boy on the ground. "Kid, how old are you?" "

"Ten …" Twelve years old. Bedivere stammered in reply.

"Isn't this just a little kid?" I thought you'd be older. Forget it, the Huns are taller than humans, maybe I should take this into account … "

As Lancelot was muttering to himself, Arthur went closer to Bedivere's ear and whispered, "From now on, it's all up to you. However, remember one thing: No matter what, do not inquire about Lancelot's background. The word "father" was forbidden in front of Lancelot, if you didn't want to die, then be careful.

— — Well, I'll go first. There are some things to deal with in the team. "Arthur prepared to leave.

"Going back to those boring system tests?" I thought you wouldn't last a week. Lancelot interrupted.

"There's no other way. No matter how boring the work is, someone has to finish it." The reward was good, so there was nothing to complain about. Arthur replied casually.

Bedivere felt that the two's conversation was slightly out of place, but he decided not to pursue the topic further, in case it brought about more trouble. Since he was young, he had lived in the human world for a long time. Werewolf Boy knew this much about the human world.

In the dusky room, Heavenly Stage Knight sat on his big chair by himself as he swirled the wine cup in his hand. Ice made a crisp sound in a glass filled with whiskey.

"Drink at work?" The young knight stepped into the room and looked at the Heavenly Stage Knight through the dim light of the stove.

"Without this, how could we survive this damned winter?" His voice was light with the influence of the alcohol. "Have a drink?" "

"I'm not old enough." Arthur suppressed the disdain in his heart and coldly replied. "What's more, it's only the beginning of autumn right now." "

"Oh, I almost forgot." "But you are very cold." Leave the little kid behind? You didn't need to tell him about the collar beforehand? You can be his guardian for now, but if he dies, you have to take responsibility. "

"Have you decided my business yet again, Your Grace?" "

Heavenly Stage Knight took a sip of the wine, the alcohol in his mouth spreading in the air. He said slowly, "The Order has always had the rule that you must be responsible for the last person you save." However, you really did pick up something troublesome and came back. Some seal, some key fragment, some Universal Wall. — Does this mean we are going to have a full-scale war with the Huns? "

"There's nothing we can do about it. No matter what kind of scenery we see after the Universal Wall opens, it's still a disaster for this world." Was it because the monster behind the Universal Wall was more terrifying? Or was it more terrifying to receive sunlight and have the Beastmen army resting and growing stronger? "

"Indeed." The Grand Duke took a sip of his whisky. "So you must keep an eye on the little boy and not let him fall into the hands of the Huns." "

"I'll kill him myself if I have to." The young knight had a cold, murderous look on his face.

"When it's necessary." The creed of a knight is [justice]. Your actions must not go against the creed, or we will be no different from pure murderers. No one innocent can be sacrificed unless it is by the sacrifice of one person that all can be saved. "

The expression on the young Silver Knight's face subtly changed.

(This is called justice.) It was just an innocent thought that only idiots would have.)

(How inefficient, stupid creed.)

(No wonder you're going to be the loyal dogs of the Council.)

"In accordance with the teachings of His Grace the Grand Duke." Despite his disdain, the young knight saluted and left the room.
