Chapter 2184: Exploring the Trail of Sha Lan (22)

At the same time, Great Britain, somewhere in the ghetto of Edinberg.

"Uh-huh...... The black iron knight boy lay on the ground and struggled a few times, subconsciously wanting to wake up, but he didn't want to wake up. After drinking last night, the hangover gave him a splitting headache, and if he was fully awake, he would only suffer from this headache, and there was nothing good waiting for him when he woke up, he knew that his chance to be promoted to the Silver Knight had been lost, and it was probably a long way to climb up again from the current knight rank, and it was even possible that he would never have this opportunity.

So what's the use of waking up, it's better to continue lying on the ground and pretending to be asleep. Even if he was lying on this hard, shabby floor that smelled of earth, it would be appropriate to continue lying down.

He opened his eyes slightly, reached for the bottle that had fallen to the ground, and tried to squeeze out even one or two drops of inferior alcohol from the bottle that had already been drunk. It's a pity that he drank all the wine last night, and there wasn't even a drop of liquid left in the bottle.

That's fine. Daniel closed his eyes again. He didn't need the anesthesia of alcohol to try to sleep. Just lie down and don't move, it's pretty much the same as playing dead.

Just when he was confused and unwilling to even come to his senses, there was a faint singing sound around him.

(When you close your eyes, the world ends with you.) ）

(Thou shalt sink into a dream, and the world will dream with thee.) ）

(Thou shalt mourn, and the world weeps because of it.) ）

(Thou hast roared, and the world roared.) ）

(One is all, all is one.) ）

(Thou art the world, and thy world is with thee.) ）

(Open your eyes, boy.) ）

(Embrace despair and live in peace with it.) ）

(Give everything and let the world reset.) ）

(so ------)

(For the first time, you will find peace.) ）

"It's noisy...... He muttered under his breath.

Who the hell is singing. Is this comforting, encouraging, or is it just ------

"Hey, wake up!" his confused thoughts were interrupted by someone.

"It's noisy!" he muttered, still under his breath.

"Wake me up, lazy worm!!"

Daniel, who was still trying to sleep, was suddenly kicked hard by someone, rolled on the ground several times, and had to wake up because of the pain.

"Hmm?...... Good morning. The Black Iron Knight boy slowly opened his eyes at this time, and while scratching his fluffy and messy white hair, he looked at the other party in a daze.

"[Good morning] Fart! It's already past nine o'clock, you know?!" The Black Iron Knight Jefferson said angrily: "Don't you want to mix or don't want to mix, today there is a ceremony for your official promotion to the Silver Knight, and even the Grand Duke of Parinlore, the head of the Eastern Sky Knights, will come, and you are still sleeping here as the protagonist?!------ what is this, it stinks! Did you kid drink last night?! I know that there was a promotion ceremony today, and I still drank last night, right?!"

Jefferson's series of complaints blinded Daniel, he looked at the other party in shock, and stammered, "I, I, how ......can I be promoted to Silver Knight?" Didn't that mean that test was messed up?"

Jefferson was even angrier: "Who told you that the test was messed up?! Didn't I come to you yesterday to congratulate you? I made it so clear, after you are promoted, you may be transferred to another place, and you will no longer be able to act with us Black Iron Knights who are the first level above you, can you still understand such a clear word as something else?!

Daniel was stunned for a moment before asking, "When exactly does the ceremony start?"

"Half past nine. You have ------ left" Jefferson looked at his watch: "Ten minutes left." Damn, there's no way it's going to be in time. It took me half an hour to sneak out of my official duties and borrow their iron horses to fly here to find you. I'm going to be late to get back now!"

Daniel didn't say anything, and first took off the top full of alcohol on his body: "I'll go take a shower, and try to finish it in five minutes." Thank you for coming and telling me about this, Mr. Jefferson. You go back first, don't worry about me. ＂

"But you're going to be late, and you'll need to ride ------ back to London."

"Don't worry, I'll figure it out. Daniel said calmly, even taking off his pants and walking in the direction of the bathroom. Of course, the so-called bathroom in the broken tin house of his hometown is just a cubicle covered by a rag curtain, and there is a bucket for cleaning his body------ which is still used to collect rainwater from the outside, and it now contains less than half a bucket of water.

"I can't help you...... Jefferson couldn't say anything, anyway, according to his calculations, Daniel was bound to be late anyway, and it wasn't too bad for the ten minutes or so of bath time. There was no place he could help, so he had to leave first.

Daniel stripped naked and walked into the bathroom, not reaching for the bucket of water, but disappearing in a flash. In the next moment, he had teleported to a nearby river and stream, and plunged into the water.

The river water in early spring was still cold to the bone, but he didn't care about the bone-eating cold that hit him crazy, but instead soaked his whole body in the river water, rubbing his frozen stiff body with both hands, on the one hand, to keep warm, and on the other hand, to get rid of the smell of alcohol on his body as soon as possible. After about two minutes of soaking, he felt that it was almost enough, and teleported back to his home------ more precisely to the hall of his tin house, and his teleportation seemed to be unable to control the landing point very precisely. He couldn't help but be a little concerned that he would be seen naked, but by this time Jefferson was actually gone, and the house was empty except for him. He breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to get a change of clothes.

Silver Knight. Because he had been frozen by the cold river once, Daniel's mind was finally cleared up at this time. Why the hell. How could it be. Isn't yesterday's gaffe obvious, why does he still have a chance to become a silver knight after experiencing that level of gaffe?

But there is no point in being confused about this kind of thing now. Anyway, there's not much time left, so hurry up and change your clothes and go. He didn't even care about his messy white hair, so he casually put on his underwear and put the Black Iron Knight's armor on his body, and tried to start teleporting. Even he hadn't even thought into how he could use teleportation, but now was not the time to care about such a trivial matter.

Whoosh! The young man of the Black Iron Knight, who was still dripping with water on the tips of his hair, teleported to the main entrance of Fort Elsen.

As one of the largest castles in the City of London and the main base of the Knights of Great Britain, this stone castle exudes its same cold and * atmosphere. The knights guarding the front gate couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw Daniel suddenly flashing. But they finally recognized Daniel's face, and let him go without saying anything. The boy didn't have time to be polite to the knights guarding the gate, and ran into the city to attend his promotion ceremony as a silver knight.

Boom!

However, the more hurried he became, the easier it was to make mistakes, and as Daniel raced up the wide staircase to the second floor of the castle, he happened to bump into someone while walking without his eyes.

"I'm in a hurry!" Daniel hurriedly apologized and continued to run, without even seeing who the other party was.

"Running is strictly forbidden in Fort Eielsen. The knight who had been knocked on spat out a somber rebuke: "And what the hell does that smell like?

"Uh...... Daniel was speechless, and he turned his head to look at the other man. It's really not that there are so many people he can bump into in the castle, but he just bumps into the person he shouldn't bump into the least------ Baron Vincent, the Golden Knight.

"Heh, you kid, you drink as a minor, and you indulge so much before your promotion ceremony is about to begin, are you underestimating the British Knights?"

It's a little annoying. A bruise erupted from Daniel's forehead. He had a splitting headache because of a hangover, so he finally took a shower with cold water to relieve his headache. Now that he heard this nasty ghost arguing in a screeching voice, his headache couldn't help but intensify again.

"I'm sorry, can you teach me a lesson later?" Because of the headache and involuntary disgust, the white-haired knight boy began to speak a little unceremoniously: "I'm really in a hurry now. ------Or is it your purpose to try your best to hold me back and make me late for the promotion ceremony?

The other party's face darkened.

"There are still two minutes left before the ceremony begins. Shall I go?, or should I truthfully report to the Grand Duke of Parinlore that it was Your Excellency who dragged me that caused me to be late for an important ceremony?" Daniel looked at Baron Vincent faintly.

The Golden Knight Vincent was speechless, and could only let go: "You go, lawless little bastard!"

Daniel smiled disdainfully and walked away without looking back.

He knew that Vincent would definitely trouble him in the future------ and it might even become an obstacle to his continued promotion. But now, in the face of the vexatious vexatious of such an obnoxious guy as Baron Vincent, he chose to scold back, and that's it.

Then for the first time in his life, he felt [freedom] ------ no longer need to act according to other people's words, no longer need to look at other people's faces to be a human being, incomparably free.

And he suddenly saw through how this [freedom] was obtained.

Whether in the Knights of Great Britain or in any other organization, this will never change.

It is only explained that only those who have [power] can have this [freedom].

Only those who have [power] have the right to speak.

That's really, ridiculously.

------ pushed the door straight into the conference room, the boy couldn't calm the twisted smile that appeared on his face.

"What's so funny?" asked Grand Duke Parinlore, a celestial knight sitting in the middle of the conference room.

"No, nothing, Grand Duke. Daniel mechanically wiped the smile from his face, as if he had changed one face to another in an instant: "I just understood a truth, and I have benefited a lot." ＂
