Chapter 1227: Rest in the Silent Night (4)
In the cafeteria on the west side of the Eastern Knights' base, the children had just found a place to sit down, and Husky looked around curiously and asked, "Hey, why didn't Brother Daniel come with him?" "He has his own business to do, of course he can't follow us all the time."
"Oh-" Husky seemed to sense something in Uncle Badstar's look.
"Don't mention that. What do you want to eat? The strawberry cake here is delicious, why don't you try it?" asked Juliet with a smile.
"yes, Hal wants to eat strawberry cake meow!" the leopard boy agreed with a smile.
"Husky wants chocolate-flavored ice cream, the super-sweet--stuff!" said the canine boy wagging his tail.
"Huhu, okay, wait a minute. The girl smiled and walked away, busy ordering food.
"Uncle Evil Star doesn't eat meow?" said Hal looked at the Starlight Dragon with a pair of big watery eyes.
"I don't like sweets. Xinghui Long was thinking about something else, a little absent-minded: "And I'm not as greedy as you two little ghosts." "Hehe, Uncle Evil Star is afraid of tooth decay. Husky laughed mischievously: "It's okay, as long as you brush your teeth well every morning and evening, there will be no tooth decay!" The evil star grinned mischievously at Husky, revealing a row of white teeth: "Dragons usually have three hundred and seventy-two teeth in their mouths, each of which is as big as a whole person, what do you think is better to brush your teeth?" "Uh, don't brush Husky!" The canine boy grinned and got behind Hal and pretended to hide.
"Don't worry, with your small body, it's not enough to even pick your teeth. Starlight Dragon smirked.
The faces of the two teenagers changed drastically: "Uncle Evil Star is so terrible Wang (meow)!" "Chirp!~" Balloon fish Pochi ran out of the iron cylinder on Howl's waist and shouted at Evil Star in protest.
"Wow!~~ This is a balloon fish?!so cute!!" Juliet came back with the children's dessert and screamed at the sight of Poki. Then they teased the pet fish together, amusing Pochi so much that he circled the group in a quick circle.
"That's why I can't stand women and children the most," Xinghui Long had no choice but to cover his forehead and muttered in the face of the frolicking of the little ghosts.
Husky frolicked and ate his ice cream quickly, then suddenly grabbed his stomach and jumped up from his chair and shouted, "Wow! my stomach hurts!" "Little fool, who told you to eat so quickly--turn left when you go out of the bathroom." Juliet covered her mouth and smiled.
"Whoa, whoa—" Husky grabbed his ass and hurried out.
Of course, this qiē is just acting. The canine boy ran into the bathroom and came out in a circle.
While he wasn't being watched by the adults, he sniffed carefully.
"Brother Daniel" The canine boy glanced worriedly into the distance, and immediately followed the scent, towards the end of the corridor.
About ten minutes ago, Daniel, led by Knight Pariston, went to the frozen dormant room of the Eastern Heavenly Knights.
As soon as the door was pushed open, a chill rushed over his face, making the apprentice knight boy shiver.
Illuminated by a soft, almost dim light, the misty room is lined up with twenty refrigerated dormancy chambers, about half of which have been occupied by volunteers.
Because the technology of cryo-dormancy chambers is still in the stage of small-scale clinical practice, not many people use this device, and the possible side effects of it are not clear, and there are certain risks in its use. The anxious Daniel didn't think about these possible risks at all, and just wanted to jump into the freezer and sleep well, wake up at night to hunt nightmares, and if he succeeded, he would be approved by the Knights for promotion, and he would be able to mobilize funds to perform surgery on his mother.
"Yours is the seventh chamber. The knight said without emotion, "Take off your cloak and lie down." "Got it. Before the glass cover of the freezer could be opened, Daniel had quickly stripped off his coat and was ready with only a pair of pants. He lay down in the freezer, shivering from the bone-chilling cold.
"This is a disclaimer of clinical practice, sign it here. The knight Pariston handed over a copy of the paper.
"Okay. Daniel signed without even looking at it, and asked worriedly, "Does this really work?" and "There is ample medical research that proves that deep sleep in cold conditions can restore more energy." But this is only a spiritual restoration, and a physical recovery is difficult to guarantee. "That's enough. Daniel muttered to himself comfortingly, and found a comfortable position in the freezer to lie down.
"Well, please have a good dream. Pariston agreed, pressing a button on the freezer's side control panel. The glass cover of the cryopod was immediately closed, trapping Daniel completely in the slightly cylindrical glass cabin. Ice mist was surging from all sides of the cryopod, making the young midshipman a little scared. But he didn't even have the strength to struggle, his body was grabbed by the rapidly spreading cold, and his eyelids were suddenly buckled like lead, and he couldn't lift them up again. He fell into a deep sleep in a matter of seconds.
Regarding the efficacy of this cryo-dormant pod, Juliette Luxford of the first century had a miscalculation.
That's right, this kind of cryodormancy therapy does provide a quick recovery of energy, which has been fully proven in many clinical practices.
But that's for adults in their right minds.
For a teenager like Daniel, whose mind is not yet fully developed, the sudden cold and forced sleep will only bring uneasiness and panic, and the panic before falling asleep will bring nightmares (nightmares).
As he sleeps, Daniel begins to be tormented by dreams and falls into a cold and dark hallucination.
At first, it was just a dream.
My father was a knight, a very powerful knight.
My father went out on patrol to eliminate violence and peace, protect his family and defend the country, and was a hero.
This idea was ingrained in Daniel's mind from an early age, so he hoped that one day he would become a knight, a hero, like his father.
Until the day when dreams are completely destroyed by the harsh reality.
"Isn't Daddy coming back?" the child asked curiously, looking at his mother.
The woman put down the letter, her face haggard. Still, she pretended to be as casual as she could, and gently persuaded her six-year-old child: "My dear, your father is on a mission far away, and he may never come back to visit us." But you have to remember that your father gave a lot to this country, and he made sacrifices so that the people of Pantolaken - and for us - could live in peace. Your dad is a hero, and even if he can't come back to take care of us anymore, you must honor him. "Hmm!" the child nodded effortlessly, believing what his mother had said.
In fact, this is not the case.
Time passed, the child grew into a teenager, and he joined the Knights of Great Britain as a matter of course. When he asked if there was a knight named Yang in the Order, none of the people in the Order remembered him.
The truth is that his father, Dan Young, the Black Iron Knight, is just a low-level patrolman.
He stumbled upon bandits during a patrol a few years ago and was killed in battle. At that time, the knight Yang was even just a little-known bronze knight (trainee knight), who was over thirty years old but did nothing, and was never able to be promoted to the rank of black iron knight (regular knight), until he died in the line of duty, and was reluctantly posthumously awarded the title of black iron knight.
The fate of the little man was extremely bleak, even if he was posthumously named a regular knight, the pension received by the family of Knight Yang was only enough to bury him.
The truth is that the claim that his father was a hero is just an out-and-out lie.
The truth is that Daniel's father is not only not a hero, but also a waste, the kind of mediocrity that is not at all regrettable to be treated as an outcast.
Baron Vincent, the Black Iron Knight who had commanded the patrol, had Daniel's father charge at the front of the line to attract the fire of the bandits. The idiot took this as an opportunity to make a meritorious deed, and rushed too far. As a result, his bulky and dilapidated armor could not stop the spears of the bandits at all, and the sharp spear effortlessly pierced the worn armor and stabbed directly into the heart of the knight Yang, resulting in the life of this mediocre man-
At least, that's what is recorded in the old archives of the Northern Heavenly Knights.
The death of the knight Dan Yang had no honor at all, but a reckless man who did not obey the order and took the initiative to lead the death.
Daniel collapsed the moment he read the file, and the father he had longed for since childhood turned out to be just a small person.
His father was not a hero at all.
The back of the chase is a lie, but the dream must go on. His mother's health deteriorated, and the apprentice knight boy had to rely on ten times the best effort to get promoted as much as possible, so that his mother could live a good life.
However, can this dream really come true?
"It's the kid again" The mentor in charge of training the young knights would occasionally discuss, and Daniel, who was hiding in a corner of the castle and doing odd jobs, would occasionally hear the mentors discuss.
"Obviously, I can't use magic because of my physique, and my reaction is still so slow, my IQ is average, and my physique is even worse than that of people of the same age. All physical fitness numbers are just a matter of meeting the mark. "What a headache. Can this kind of guy really become a talent?" -- can this kind of guy really become a talent?
Over and over again, it was the same question he had been hearing. The kind of questioning that seemed to be there pricked his nerves, poisoned his mind, and constantly destroyed his self-confidence. Contemporaneous knights also distanced themselves from him, believing that Daniel was a hopeless scrap.
However, there was no way back. Even if he tried more than ten times as hard as ordinary people, it still had no results, and even if the future was bleak, he had to endure it in order for his seriously ill mother to live a good life.
As a result, it has come to this point.
Lying in this cold, dark glass cabin, in order to fight against fate, make one last struggle.
The invisible weight choked him out in the nightmare.
Help--In his sleep, he uttered a silent cry that no one could hear.
Who's coming, help me!!
