In this year's Knights' Election, a total of 193 graduates successfully joined the Thirteen Knights.

After the election, there will be no restrictions on the new knights who join the group, and they can go to the knight headquarters at any time to receive the basic knight equipment and the corresponding knight emblem.

The specific time for joining the group and participating in the formal training will be arranged by each order.

The stricter Knights of Lionheart and Hell only give newcomers three days of rest...... The Knights of Steam, which are relatively relaxed, will give newcomers a break ranging from a week to a month to adjust their status.

All in all, once successfully graduated, the individual was only managed by the corresponding order.

It should be noted that the Order of the Secret Word has only recruited two graduates for this year's Congress.

One is Valen, who attracted the attention of the whole city and won the first pick. Nicholas.

The other is just a relatively low ranking, not very strong in combat, but he seems to have a particularly good memory, and can quickly draw a large number of formations and spells.

According to Captain Hugo, once he comes to report to the Knights, there will be a lot of complicated work handed over to Han Dong.

Considering Han Dong's special experience and performance in the general election, there will be a lot of things to deal with after the election, so Han Dong was given a week of rest and recuperation.

Otherwise, Captain Hugo will grab Han Dong to report as soon as the conference is over and start the bald work mode of 996.

……

Next.

Knight Headquarters.

Han Dong is receiving the basic equipment and insignia of the official knight here.

"This is your knight's equipment and insignia, please keep it."

The emblem, of course, is paired with the "magnifying glass and question mark" of the Knights of the Secret Language, and is a necessary proof of identity when attending various special occasions, taking knightly missions, or going out of the city.

As for knightly equipment.

Han Dong only received a set of [Archaeological Clothing] made of "Magic Pattern Leather".

That is, a single-breasted leather jacket with gray and white intervals, a pair of trousers with good thermal insulation, and a pair that basically does not make a sound when walking, so as not to disturb the work of others in the Order.

The cloak has a certain resistance to pollution, and it avoids spiritual contamination when it comes into contact with some unknown cultural relics outside the city.

One of the main characteristics is that the outfit has the 'spirited' characteristic.

A cup of coffee a day can help a civilian staff work for 10 hours without losing efficiency.

Compared to the armor that most knights are equipped with, this kind of happy overtime is really low.

Although he has not yet reported to the Secret Whisper Knights, Han Dong is already an official knight.

To be honest, Han Dong did not reject the clerical work in the Secret Knights at all, especially from Captain Hugo, who had heard about the alien [Slate].

But when it comes to the 'research' of unknown things, Han Dong is personally very interested.

Moreover, Han Dong knew Hugo's background in advance from Mr. Black and White, and he also saw Hugo's methods at the conference.

This 'weakest' knight order, which has been at the bottom of the overall score for many years, must have an ulterior secret.

Meanwhile.

Mia also received basic equipment belonging to the [Knights of Doom] from another reporting point.

A dark, close-fitting light armor.

It not only maintains the characteristics of the armor, but also highlights Mia's figure.

"Honey, let's get out of town for our honeymoon!"

Mia had already imagined all kinds of 'wonderful' scenes of the two-person world, and couldn't help but clamp her legs slightly and reach out to hold Han Dong.

"When will your Knights officially train?"

"Hee-hee...... Deputy Head Archimedes gave me two weeks off and gave me a semi-liberal way of studying, allowing me to keep in touch with the witch teacher.

So! I can always be with my dear. ”

Mia had already changed into a dark light armor and rode with Han Dong in a special crow carriage to the city gate.

However, just as the carriage drove to the civilian area, Han Dong sensed something and ordered to stop.

"What's wrong?"

Mia is in a state of 'worry', for fear that such a great opportunity will be ruined by some accident.

"Someone is following us ......"

As soon as she heard that someone dared to ruin the 'honeymoon trip' between the two, Mia pulled out her demon knife and planned to jump out of the carriage...... But he was immediately held down by Han Dong's hand.

"I think we've been following us since I left the knight's headquarters, I'm going to check ......"

Intuition told Han Dong that the stalker's goal was clear, and it was for him.

A horse-drawn carriage that looked ordinary, but was actually embedded with a powerful steam system, stopped on the side of the road fifty meters away.

The doors are open.

took the initiative to signal Han Dong to get in the car and talk.

"Mia, follow me...... Be honest. After the matter is settled, we will go out of the city again, and it will not be long in delay. ”

"Oh......"

Mia put away the demon sword.

I don't know if it's because I've been pitted by Han Dong too many times, but I always feel that this 'honeymoon trip' is going to be in the soup again.

Step into the carriage.

The exterior looks like a wooden ordinary car, but the interior is full of regular metal lines.

At the same time, the gear imprint of the Steam Knights is also printed on the back.

A well-dressed middle-aged man in an aristocratic wig was sitting in the carriage...... Even if he wrapped his body in aristocratic clothing, he still couldn't hide the man's burly figure.

"Mr. Newton!"

The stalker is none other than the deputy head of the Steam Knights: Congreve. Newton.

When she knew the identity of this person, Mia immediately lost her temper.

The witch was dissatisfied with Mr. Black and White, and often mentioned the problem that "the Holy City would function normally without Mr. Black and White" when she was alone with Mia, her lover.

Because, there is more than one [wise man] in the Holy City, Mr. Black and White.

This man, who follows the Lord of Gold and handles all the affairs of the Steam Knights, is also a recognized wise man in the Holy City.

Although it is very unlikely that Mia will meet this person, the witch still tells Mia to be careful of this man.

"Valen. Nicholas...... Before you leave the city, I have a few things I would like to discuss with you on behalf of Lord Jin. ”

"Okay."

"This Knights' Conference, according to the plan of Lord Jin and me, should have been made by [Gully. Check the strength] to get the first place, so that we can fully promote "Steam Technology Human Transformation" to all Knights.

But because of you, you can only postpone this plan.

Of course, it is also because of you that we have discovered some shortcomings of this technology.

The Lord has also taken a great interest in you, and asked me to gather information about you in private.

I discovered something very interesting. ”

Han Dong was silent, just listened quietly.

"Since three years ago, you have been buying large quantities of building materials and medicinal materials in stages many times, ranging from one month to three months.

Combined with your personal characteristics, it is speculated that you are building some kind of large-scale [biological laboratory].

It is impossible for such a large biological experiment site to be built on the second floor or above in the Holy City...... Only possible presence in civilian areas.

But I didn't find out what you had to do in the civilian area, and you rarely go in and out of the neighborhood on weekdays, and your family has moved out of here.

Therefore, I share my suspicions with Lord Benerate that your laboratory may not be in the city. ”
