Chapter 12: The Beginning of the Journey (Part II)

Base of the Northern Knights, Conference Room 3.

"I'm sorry, I'm late" Arthur paused, startled by the group of people in front of him, "Surprised?" In the center of a conference room at Nuo University, there was a large table. At the table sat a large group of high-ranking knights. There were no less than ten of them as the staff officers of the Gaian Knights. They looked serious, as if they were having some kind of important meeting.

"Sorry, I came to the wrong room and disturbed me. Young Arthur hurriedly withdrew.

"Where do you want to run?" a big man in front of the door blocked the boy's way. Walking backwards, Arthur awkwardly crashed into the big man.

The boy looked back and looked at the man in his way, shocked and annoyed—this big man was none other than Grand Duke Leon Digens, the head of the Northern Knights, the same big man who had been [playing] Arthur before.

"Is this another joke?" Arthur asked in a low voice.

"Not a joke. Anyway, you let me in and sit down! There are so many people waiting for you, and you should sit down politely and listen to what is going on?" the Grand Duke of Leon Dickens pushed Arthur.

The young man half-walked and half-fell, and reluctantly entered the conference room and sat down, avoiding everyone's gaze. A young man who has never had fear in his heart in the face of such a terrible monster, but at this time he is so restrained that he does not say a word.

Arthur has not forgotten who he is at the moment. He was only a servant, and he was bought back from the slave market by the Knights. How humble and ridiculous this little servant is in front of these powerful people.

He never belonged to this place. And he knew he would never belong to this place, in every sense of the word.

"You're all here, aren't you? I'll cut it short. Archduke Lyon Dickens sat in the middle of the room, holding his legs.

Arthur was certain in that moment that he smelled alcohol.

"The twelve Golden Knights, the seven Gaian Knights, and I, the Heavenly Knight of the Northern Knights, Aaron Leondices, testify hereby that this Cadet Knight, Arthur D. Kelton, has been officially promoted to the rank of Silver Knight, conferred the title of Viscount, and will be incorporated into the Special Operations Force from today. Do you have any comments?" the knights in the room did not say anything, they looked at Arthur with some expectant eyes, as if they had already made up their minds. Now this [meeting] is just a superficial formality.

No one objected to such a ridiculous thing. This made the teenager overwhelmed for a while. However, only a moment later, Arthur had an idea and said, "Thank you very much for the promotion of His Excellency the Grand Duke, but it is difficult to obey my fate." "Weishenme?" the head of the Order frowned. "How many people have struggled all their lives and may not be able to climb to the position of the Silver Knight*, and you refuse without even thinking about it?" (*Note: The ranks of the Knights of the Pantoraken Knights from the lowest to the highest are:

Bronze Knight (Trainee Knight/BronzeKnight) -> Iron Knight -> Silver Knight -> GoldenKnight -> Gaia Knight -> Celestial Knight (Commander of the Order/ (CelestalKnight)) Generally speaking, knights need to pass a very strict trial every level they are promoted, and those who fail to pass the trial will not be promoted. Arthur's sudden promotion from a servant to a silver knight is equivalent to jumping three levels in a row, which is an unprecedented promotion. "I don't want to be a knight. Arthur replied firmly (coldly), still unconcerned in the face of such a great temptation: "What I want to be is a swordsman, not bound by the rules of knighthood, and only exist to be the strongest." "But aren't you in the Order now?" asked the Grand Duke of Leon Dugens, puzzled.

The staff officer on the side, Lord Carmel, immediately whispered to the Grand Duke of Leon Dickens: "Strictly speaking, he does not belong to the Knights. He was originally a slave, but because of the welfare of the Knights, Jihua bought him back and hired him as a subordinate until he paid for his worth. He is now a retinue of the knight Viscount Richard. "Tsk. The Grand Duke snorted dissatisfiedly: "What a mess of identity." The dragon really can't be tied. "Your Excellency the Grand Duke?" Arthur was stunned.

"Nothing. Archduke Leon Digenss quickly diverted the subject to hide his gaffe, "That is, you don't want to be bound by knightly rules, do you? The Biedong team is based on the principle of acting independently, and you will not be bound by the rules. Murder and arson, it is appropriate to be respectful. As long as you successfully complete the task, you can - the reward is still considerable!" At the mention of the reward, a subtle expression instantly crossed the boy's face: "I don't particularly care about the reward. "There will be very difficult tasks waiting for you, and it should be very haode exercise for you. The staff officer added.

The boy thought for a moment.

It was obviously a pit, but he had to jump into it. There were dozens of powerful people in the audience looking at Arthur. The Grand Duke of Leon Ducens offered such generous conditions, and if Arthur did not agree, the people present were afraid that they would be in trouble.

Forcing Arthur to submit with tremendous social pressure - is that what the old fox wants?

The boy sighed: "Deal." (I'll settle this account with you, Grand Duke of Tanuki Digens.) "Good. The Grand Duke smiled smugly, "Since everyone has reached a consensus, it is settled." Let's all sign here, and then the meeting is dismissed. The knights came over to shake hands with the boy, signing official documents and saying some words of congratulations. Arthur only politely agreed, managed to complete his signature, and immediately squeezed out of the crowd and left the chamber.

"It's still a monster. Chief of Staff Cameron whispered to the Grand Duke, "Do you really want to deal with such a monster? What a dirty deal." "It doesn't matter, as long as it's strong. All we need is his liliang, and if there is something wrong with his personality itself, it can be slowly transformed with time. Didn't I tell you? I'm very talented at taming monsters. "Heavenly Knight Dao.

Got the new toys and Leon Dickens was delighted.

His son was not at all happy.

Richard Leondicens, the Black Iron Knight, lurks outside the window of the chamber and learns of Arthur's promotion.

The little servant that Richard usually looked down on the most was actually promoted three levels in a row and climbed on Richard's head.

What an unacceptable fact. Richard's face was as black as ink.

If he could, he would have wanted to strangle his father, the old man who could only get drunk.
