Chapter 18: The Omen of Darkness (Part I)

The base of the Northern Heavenly Knights, the first mechanical warehouse.

"So-" Lancelot looked at Arthur with a terrifying expression that almost wanted to kill, dropping the screwdriver in his hand, "you just let him come to me?!" "I'm sorry. Arthur was absent-minded, but his mind was constantly thinking of all kinds of excuses for persuasion.

"Didn't I tell you that this is a secret between the two of us? Always retort again and again?" the blonde boy was even angrier.

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

"The problem isn't [the first time]!!" Lancelot's face turned the color of a pig's liver.

"I'm not going to say it. I promise. "And who would believe the nonsense of a lowly orc?" "Don't interfere!" Lancelot was so angry that he scolded Bedeville for interjecting.

The startled werewolf boy fell to the ground, kicking up a pile of dust on the ground.

"Ahem...... Lancelot is so fierce that he bullies even children. Arthur pretended to be unconcerned, "Weishenme, he was very gentle with animals when he was a child. Didn't you cry for three days and three nights when the puppy died?" Lancelot was annoyed and ashamed, and gave Arthur a vicious look: "You!—I'll settle accounts with you later!" and then he looked at the werewolf boy on the ground, "Boy, how old are you?" "Twelve years old. Bediwell stammered back.

"Isn't that just a little kid? I thought you'd be older. Forget it, the Hungarians are taller than humans, maybe I should take that into account as well" As Lancelot was talking to himself, Arthur leaned over to Bediwell's ear and whispered, "It's up to you from now on." However, remember one thing: don't inquire about Lancelot's origins under any circumstances. The word [father] is forbidden in front of Lancelot, so if you don't want to die, be careful.

So, I'll go first. There are still some things to take care of in the Biedong team. Arthur was ready to slip away.

"Do you want to do all that boring system testing again? I thought you wouldn't be able to do it for a week. Lancelot interjected.

"No way, no matter how boring the job is, someone has to do it. The pay is okay, nothing to complain about. Arthur said casually.

Bediwell sensed a subtle sense of dissonance in their conversation, but he decided not to delve into it so as not to get into more trouble. Since he was a child, he has lived in the human shijie for a long time, and the werewolf boy at least knows this bit of sophistication.

In the dimly lit room, Leon Dugens, the knight of heaven, sat alone in his large chair, shaking the wine glass in his hand. The ice cubes make a crisp sound in a glass filled with whiskey.

"Drinks during working hours?" the young knight entered the room, looking at the heavenly knight through the glimmer of the fire.

"Without this, how can you survive this damn winter. Leon Dickens, the knight of heaven, said, his voice flirtatious from the influence of alcohol, "Shall I have a drink?" "I'm not an adult. Arthur suppressed the disdain in his heart and replied coldly, "—besides, it's only early autumn. "Oh, I almost forgot. The Grand Duke of Leon Dugens said nonchalantly, "Still, you are so cold." Leave that little hairy boy behind? You don't need to explain the collar to him in advance? You can be regarded as his guardian, and if he dies, you will be responsible. "Have you decided my business again, Your Excellency the Grand Duke?" the celestial knight Leon Digenss took a sip of wine, the smell of alcohol wafting through the air. He said unhurriedly: "The Knights have always been like this: the person you save must be in charge of Zuihou. Still, you really picked up a troublesome thing and came back. What seals, what key fragments, what Shijie Wall - in this way, won't it become a full-scale war between us and the Huns?" "That can't be helped, no matter what kind of scenery the Shijie Wall is like after it is opened, it will be a disaster for this Shijie. Is it the monster behind the wall of shijie that doesn't know if it exists that is more terrifying?or is it more terrifying to get sunlight and recuperate and grow the army of orcs?" The Grand Duke took a sip of whiskey, "So, you have to keep an eye on that little hairy boy and don't let him fall into the hands of the Huns." "If necessary, I will kill him with my own hands. The young knight had a grim killing intent on his face, and he could do what he said.

"Let's talk about it when we have to. The creed of the knight is [justice], and your actions must not violate the creed, otherwise we will be no different from mere murderers. No innocent person can be sacrificed unless only one person can save all. The expression on the young Silver Knight's face changed subtly.

(This is called justice.) It's just the naïve idea of idiots. (What an inefficient, stupid creed.) (No wonder you're going to be council dogs.) "Follow the teachings of His Excellency the Grand Duke. Despite his disdain, the young knight saluted and withdrew from the room.
