Cezaire's group had returned from the evening, and by the time they returned to the Night Castle, it was already early in the morning. Although he still regretted not being able to visit Old Merlin, as a soldier, Cizer also understood the urgency of the war, and other small things had to be put aside.

And on the way back to the Night Castle, Cizer also discovered the current tension. Countless civilians were evacuating the Night Fort overnight, and even at 10 a.m., the roads were still overcrowded. On the other hand, horse-drawn wagons laden with supplies drove into the Night Fortress one after another, and the guards on the walls were at least twice as many as usual, and the aura of slaughter spread.

He even saw a flash of light from the pitch-black magic cannon, and a soldier on the side was constantly recording something, and occasionally having someone sketch something on the magic cannon.

It was someone testing the mana usage rate of the Mana Cannon, as well as the completeness of the Mana Conduction Formation. Repairing a giant cannon in wartime is not an easy task, so from the very beginning, it is necessary to make it in the best condition.

It seemed that the situation in the Night Castle was not optimistic, and Cezel's heart sank. The magic cannon is a big killing weapon, only large-scale city defense battles will appear, and at that level of war, the Night Fortress is really at the point of life and death.

If the demon invasion war really starts again, it won't be a matter of one or two hundred people dying.

That's at least 10,000 casualties!

After saying goodbye to Geer, Anna and the others, Cizer originally wanted to return to the camp to settle down and think about his next plans. But before he could get there, someone had already found him.

"Is it Private Cizer, please?" a man who looked like a secretary appeared in front of Cezel, a little uncertain.

"It's me, do you have anything to do?" Cezel was puzzled that there was anyone else who knew him, and when he was in the Legion, he usually acted alone, and rarely had the opportunity to interact with people.

"The general has an order for you to go over, and there is a special task for you. The man was visibly relieved when Cizer responded, and he wasn't to blame. If your boss asks a person three times in a row in less than an hour, you can also feel stressed.

Cizer was confused, but he followed the man towards the center of the city.

And along the way, the man also kept looking at Cizer, he wanted to see what this person who had always been concerned about the general of the day looked like.

However, to his disappointment, Cizer's appearance was still quite delicate, but not to the point of shocking the world. And he has already confirmed Cizer's combat power through the data, and the two-star cultivation may reach three stars, but this is not surprising.

In fact, this is already a good strength in the empire, and it is even enough to serve as a guard knight for some small families. But this is a military department with strong men, and four-star and five-star masters abound, and Cizer's strength is really not enough.

He felt this the most, don't look at him as just a civilian, and he is a few years older than Cizer, but he is also a real four-star knight, the kind that can block the sword for the general at a critical moment!

Confused, the man led Cizer to the door of Smith's office and slammed the door.

"Knock knock. ”

"Please come in!"

The man pushed open the office door, and Cizer behind him caught a glimpse of the man with a frown.

There was no trace of the usual documents on the desk, replaced by a map of the Northwest Frontier in extreme detail, and Cizer even glanced at it to discover the location of Graystone.

"Sir, I've brought Cizer here. The man whispered that General Smith didn't like to be called a general in the past, and they just called him sir.

General Smith, who had been thinking about it, suddenly raised his head, and was attracted at the first glance of Cezel.

Her eyes ......

The sudden heat in his eye sockets made General Smith quickly turn his back, cough lightly twice, and then say in a deep voice.

"Cheng En, let's stop here today, you go out first, I want to have a good talk with this soldier. ”

The man was a little puzzled, but he still retreated silently, and did not forget to close the door when he left.

"Sit. Smith, who turned around, gestured.

Cizer was not pretentious, and sat down at Smith's desk. It was the first time he had seen the Supreme Commander of the Night Castle, so he couldn't help but look at it with some curiosity.

With a tall nose, deep eyes, and a knife-and-axe-like face revealing a sense of fortitude, if it weren't for the gray-white sideburns, some people would believe him when he was twenty years old.

On the slender fingers, the bones are distinct, and these hands are placed on a man, which can be said to be a little weak. But Cizer not only did not dare to despise it, but also faintly sensed the power contained in these hands.

He couldn't hold up a single trick under his hands!

Calm, cold, and majestic, this was Cezel's first impression of Smith, ignoring his strength, this man was a man of high authority, and that was exactly what happened.

And while Cizer was observing Smith, Smith was also observing him.

Aside from the meeting after the coma, it was the first time Smith had seen him. With his long pale blonde hair and sturdy body looking very tall against the background of the military uniform, Smith couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity when looking at his immature and mature eyes.

His eyes.

"Like...... Smith muttered.

"What?" the voice was too muffled for Cizer to hear clearly.

"Ah...... It's nothing. Private Cezaire, I see that your file is filled with orphans, so who are your parents?" Smith didn't have the slightest fluctuation on his face as he asked this, as if it were just a routine question. But under the table, which Cizer couldn't notice, a broad palm was pressing Smith's own thigh.

Cizer only thought that the Legion was suspicious of his origins, so he looked straight ahead.

"My adoptive parents are both natives of Greystone, and my biological parents I have never met and have no impression, sorry. Cizer said word by word.

Smith got the answer he wanted, and his clenched palms couldn't help but loosen.

"It's okay, I don't mean anything else, I just want to make sure. By the way, what do you think about coming over and being my personal guard?"

"Huh?" Cizer suddenly couldn't turn a corner, this situation was a dereliction of duty on the part of the military department not to investigate him, what was the matter with letting himself be a personal guard?

Not really, right?

"Well, my position as a guard is something that many people want to grab their heads for, you don't dislike it, do you?" Smith joked.

"Don't dare, don't dare. "Naturally, Cizer will not easily offend the titular supreme commander of the Night Castle.

"Then do you say yes?"

"This ......"

Cizer quickly thought about it in his heart, and felt that this condition was still favorable to him, and at this moment when a major war was about to break out, the commander's personal guard could be said to be an extremely safe position. However, Cizer had other plans.

"I'm sorry, Commander, I might be about to disappoint you. Cizer refused.

"Oh, can you tell me why? I don't believe you don't see how dangerous the next battle will be, and you must have your own reasons for choosing it. Smith's brow furrowed, but then relaxed. He just wants to protect this child well, but in the end, his own life still has to be left to him, and he can't interfere too much.

"Yes. I think this demon invasion is an opportunity, as long as you can get a lot of military merits, you can quickly improve your status. And war is also an important way to improve strength, in the thirty years since the war was lost, the cultivation level of the empire has improved, but the strength has not risen but fallen, I don't want to be a person who has empty cultivation and can't fight. I want to be a mighty knight!" Cizer said not to prevaricate him, but to hear from old Merlin, plus his own opinion.

He really wants to be a part of this big fight!

Smith looked at those determined eyes, and when the words of persuasion came to his lips, he could not speak, so he could only find a silver ring from his pocket.

"Well, I'm not forcing you. This is my token, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me. Don't be embarrassed, I ...... I am your father's friend. ”

Cizer was still wondering just now, when he heard the last sentence, it was like being struck in the head by a thunderbolt!

In Cizel's empty mind, only one sentence echoed over and over again.

I am a friend of your father......

I am a friend of your father......

I am a friend of your father......

"You...... Know my father?" Cezel's voice trembled, his mysterious parents, as far away as clouds in the sky, for the first time he felt so close to them.

"Yes, except that I promised him that I can't tell you who he is. It is only when you become someone who can be my equal, that I can reveal to you something about him. ”

Smith's words were undoubtedly poured with a basin of cold water, and it would take more than ten years for Cizer to become a person of that level!

Cizer looked at him with a pleading gaze, and Smith shuddered at the sight of these eyes, but he still gave up his heart.

"It's for your good, it's the most basic qualification. And if you want to see your loved ones, you need more power and more strength. ”

Cizer slowly calmed down his excitement, and his breathing was no longer so rapid.

I've been waiting for so many years, if it's really so easy to meet, why don't they come to me?

Cizer had already begun to think about what kind of trouble his parents had gotten themselves into, who they were, and what position they were in.

Cezel's heart was still trembling slightly, but he could already think calmly about it.

Anyway, you've found your way, haven't you?

"Thank you, thank you!" Cizer thanked Smith with a salute.

"Hmm. Go ahead, I'm waiting for the day you grow up. Smith feigned composure.

Cizer bowed again, then left the office, leaving Smith alone.

"Vier, your son is very much like you...... The same strong ......"

The army was overwhelmed, but Smith didn't have the heart to glance at the map that had gathered countless precious information, and tears slowly rolled down his cheeks until they fell to the ground with a crisp ticking sound.

A breeze blew through the candle flame and reflected Smith's shadow, a black shadow swaying on the wall, as if dancing with a transparent figure.
