Chapter 1937: Caught in the Lake (6)

At the same time (?), London, Great Britain.

In the evening, in front of a slightly run-down little bar in the old neighborhood.

"Well, not yet...... Daniel, the young man of the Black Iron Knight, looked at his watch, which showed that the time was eight o'clock in the evening.

He had made an appointment to meet with several other knights here, and then go together to meet the family of Dore, the black iron knight who died in the line of duty, and apologize to Dore's family.

He had even planned to go to Dore's family alone to apologize instead of joining the other knights.

But he thought of the words of the Black Iron Knight Tarcas, and if he went alone, it would probably only make things darker and darker, and anger Mr. Dore's family.

And, most importantly...... He's a little scared now.

I don't know what to do.

The thought that he would be resented by others, and that nothing could be said would resolve the misunderstanding, Daniel's heart tingled.

Sure enough, it was better to wait for the others to come, and then go to Mr. Dorey's family after the meeting.

However, he waited and waited, and waited from six o'clock in the evening until eight o'clock in the evening. His patience was almost exhausted.

Tarcas: They're not going to be delayed on official business, are they? Again?

The Black Iron Knight boy sighed.

Just when he hesitated, not knowing what to do next, a singing voice interrupted his thoughts.

"The night is long, and the silence is empty.

The night is long, and the drunken shadow disturbs the dream.

It is like shrinking, and the evening breeze is cold.

May tonight be solace and stretch out your arms. ＂

The familiar singing, like the one heard at noon today, was full of loneliness and sadness, but it was very much in line with this long night.

＂

The heart is empty and cold, and the dream shadow is drunk.

Xu was extremely sad and borrowed wine to relieve his boredom.

It is like shrinking, and the evening breeze is cold.

May tonight be solace and stretch out your arms. ＂

The little warmth that vaguely emanated from it touched the heart of the Black Iron Knight boy inexplicably.

＂

Why sigh, this body is cold.

May tonight be solace and stretch out your arms.

＂

The singing ended for the time being, followed by a cold, vague round of applause. The song came from the tavern downstairs of Mr. Doré's house, and it was sung by the girl Daniel had seen at noon to-day.

Then the boy suddenly remembered another promise for the day, that he should go and cheer for the girl in the evening when the tavern was open.

The rest of the companions hadn't come yet, and Daniel didn't have anything else to do right now, so why not?

Daniel walked slowly and quietly into the bar. It would have been easy for a young man his age to walk into a bar, not to mention that he was wearing a knight's armor. But he walked low-key enough, full enough, and the civilians in the tavern who were drinking and listening to music didn't have time to talk to Daniel, so until he found a place to sit down, everything seemed to be fine.

"So you're finally here. After an unknown amount of time, a young girl walked up to Daniel's desk and smiled in the darkness.

"I'm coming. The boy replied shyly, "Your song is very good." ＂

"Thank you. The girl leaned into Daniel's ear and whispered, "I think you should order something to drink." You've been sitting here and not ordering anything, and the boss is upset and wants me to ask you to leave. ＂

"Here, give me a glass of juice...... The boy then took out a gold coin and said.

"That's enough for a whole gold coin, that's enough juice to make you fat. "But well, I'll take care of the rest of the money, and your juice will be delivered at once." ＂

Daniel couldn't help but smile wryly.

The girl just wanted to go and fetch a drink for the boy, but Daniel suddenly thought of something and stopped the girl: "Well, if you can stay with me for a while------"

"Oh, little pervert. The girl looked at the black iron knight boy with a funny smile: "Okay." Anyway, I just changed shifts, so I can accompany you during the break. For the sake of this one gold coin, the boss shouldn't embarrass me. You honestly wait for me there. ＂

Daniel nodded.

It was only a few minutes before the girl came with a drink. Although Daniel ordered a glass of juice, he couldn't understand the inexplicable glass of juice. It looks like some kind of fruit-and-soft drink, with a crystal clear bubbling soda on the bottom, orange-red and even pulpy juice on the top, and white cream on top.

"I'm more afraid of drinking something too sweet...... Daniel grumbled as he took the glass of juice.

"It's not going to be sweet. This is my confident work, guaranteed to be delicious, you can try it. The girl sat across from Daniel and smiled sweetly. Maybe the juice soda wasn't sweet, and she needed to sugar Daniel.

At the same time, another singer's voice rang out on the small stage of the bar. Judging from her mature singing skills and voice, the singer should be a middle-aged woman in her thirties.

"So someone else is singing. Daniel couldn't help but say curiously.

"Isn't that a matter of course. If I had to sing all night, I would be mute in a few days. The girl complained.

"But she doesn't sing as well as you do. Daniel blushed and whispered, "The singing skills are very good, but, well, there is no ...... in the singing Affection. ＂

"Shhh

"Yes, I'm sorry...... The Black Iron Knight boy scratched his head in embarrassment.

"So, what are you here for?" the girl leaned back in her chair and began to ask, "You don't just seem to be here to listen to songs. I saw you at noon, and you looked like you were lost. ＂

"I'm not lost...... ＂

"Either lost or lost. The girl suddenly said something that seemed very philosophical.

Daniel couldn't argue.

"Huhu, relax, I'm not interrogating you, you want to say it, you don't want to say it, no one is forcing you. The girl looked at the boy with interest: "But this is a bar, a place for people to relieve their worries." You're a minor, and I can't give you a drink to dispel your sorrows. In that case, why don't you try to talk about your troubles and let people hear them, and maybe it will be more comfortable to say them?"

Daniel blinked, suddenly feeling that his eye sockets seemed a little moist. Fortunately, the lights at the scene were already dim, and he was sure that his dignity that he wanted to cry but couldn't cry would not be seen by the other party.

The boy replied in a low voice, "I'm a little troubled. ＂

"Tell me and hear it?" the girl continued, "but you have to make a long story short. I still have ...... (She turns her head to look at the clock on the bar) Well, there's still a five-minute break. As an outsider, maybe I can give you a little advice. ＂

"Okay. Daniel sighed: "I'm coming to this neighborhood...... In fact, it was to apologize to the family of a colleague who died in the line of duty. ＂

"Huh?" the girl looked a little surprised, but she didn't say anything, but continued to look at the boy with gentle eyes, encouraging him to continue.

"My colleague recently lost his life. It's all because of me. Because I don't have enough strength, I can't protect them...... There is no way to protect everyone. I thought that all the fighting, all the hurt, all the pain, all the pain would be borne by me. I thought that as long as they didn't show up, I could do it all by myself. And yet I failed. I can't even sacrifice myself. I can't save others, I can't save myself, and I even drag down my colleagues. I'm such a useless piece of waste. ＂

The other party has been listening attentively and has not made any comments. It wasn't until the end that the singer girl suddenly asked, "So, you think you're not good enough and killed your colleagues." So, do you think you owe it to his family?"

＂...... That's about it. Daniel took a sip of soda and replied. Even the soda, which was originally sweet, seemed to have a hint of bitterness.

"What did your colleague who died say before he died?" asked the girl again.

"I don't know. That's when I ...... Lost consciousness. Daniel was actually petrified at the time, but he simplified it for ease of explanation.

"But listen to the other companions...... He seems to be ...... in the end Well, thank me. ＂

"Thank you?"

"I don't know what the hell he thinks. Why sacrifice for me, but thank me? The black iron knight boy smiled bitterly: "Maybe it's just so that I don't feel so sad when I hear it after I wake up." He was such a gentle man. ＂

"I couldn't agree more with his gentleness. The girl whispered, "But I don't think he necessarily thanked you so that you didn't feel bad." ＂

"Perhaps. But I'll never be able to figure it out. Daniel smiled even more bitterly.

"Daniel, you've been here!" A voice suddenly interrupted the conversation between the Black Iron Knight boy and the singer girl, "Oh my God, I'm looking for you everywhere, but you're playing in a bar!

"Mr. Jefferson...... Daniel was a little surprised, "Uh, where's Mr. Tarkas?"

"He can't come. Vincent's guy seems to have received some information, he just won't let Tarcas get off work, and he has been looking for various reasons to keep Tarcas. Jefferson said helplessly, "It seems that only I can accompany you." I still disobeyed the order and snuck out. ＂

"I'm sorry for the trouble. Daniel couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Uh-huh, my break is almost over, let's talk slowly, see you later?" the girl got up from her chair and hurried away.

"I'll see you later. Before Daniel could say goodbye to the girl, she hurried away.

"Hey, that girl is very pretty, you kid has a good eye!" Jefferson looked at the back of the singer girl who was far away, and lowered his voice to Daniel Pan.

"She sings beautiful songs, she's a good listener. The boy replied casually: "But that's all, I'm not picking up girls, thank you." Let's go. It's time to meet Mr. Doré's family. ＂

Daniel picked up the juice mixture in his hand and drank it down.

"It's still too sweet. He whispered.
