Chapter 2190: Exploring the Trail of Sha Lan (28)

At the same time (?), London, the second imperial capital of Great Britain, in the base of the Eastern Knights in Fort Eielsen.

"From now on, you are the Silver Knight of Great Britain. Please fulfill your duties as a Silver Knight, and dedicate yourself to the service of your country. ＂

After speaking, the Grand Duke of Parinlore, the Heavenly Knight, hung a silver snowflake medal on Daniel's collar. The silver medal was a stark contrast to Daniel's deep black armor. The snowflake shape of the medal comes from the emblem of the Northern Knights, and is not actually a medal of the Eastern Knights (the emblem of the Eastern Knights is a dragon). But Daniel was originally a member of the Northern Heavenly Knights, and although he is now temporarily transferred to the Eastern Heavenly Knights to work, his membership is still in the Northern Heavenly Knights, which is why he wears this Silver Snow Medal.

The Knights of Great Britain, who were originally bold and uninhibited in many things, were unexpectedly obsessed with ingenuity in some details. Daniel looked at the silver snowflake medal on his collar and couldn't help but think.

"Well, so be it. I don't like to be too verbose, just go through the process after the ceremony. Disband. The Grand Duke of Parinlore rose from his seat and turned to leave.

There were quite a few Golden Knights and Gaia Knights in the room congratulating Daniel, who had just been promoted to Silver Knight, but it was all their own business, and Palinlore quickly walked out of the conference room, turned down the hallway, and reached another small lounge in the side hall.

There, Elaine the White Bear was bored and sat honestly.

"I've been waiting. As soon as the Knight of the Round Table Parin Lore entered the room, he closed the door behind him, as if his next conversation with the White Bear Man would not be overheard by outsiders: "So, let's get started." ＂

"Uh-huh. Elaine climbed up from the bench. He had been sitting there for a full hour, and the bench was so hard that his legs were a little numb, and he wanted to get up and walk quickly.

"Where are you going?" asked the White Bearman, "Shouldn't it be another time to go to the beach to catch fish, to go to a dungeon or something strange?"

"Oh, wouldn't go to that kind of place. Take you to my house this time. Parin Lore said lightly.

"W-What?"

"It's the ancient residence of the Parlinlore family. There's something I want to show you there. It's not clear like that, anyway, you can follow me and see for yourself. ＂

"Okay, okay...... Elaine said confusedly.

"Before I do, though, I have to confirm with you one last time. Are you really willing to pay anything to get [power]?" asked the Grand Duke of Parin Lore with a serious face, "I took you there, and after seeing [that], you can't go back." Whether or not you can receive [power] from [that] varies from person to person, and if you don't get it right, you may lose your own life. No matter how unattainable a dream is, it is possible to live to achieve it. If you die, you won't even have a chance to make your wish come true.

------Even so, do you still want to gamble once?

------ put everything you have, even your life, on the less than 1 in 10,000 chance of gaining [power]?"

＂...... Yes, yes. He replied with a slight tremble.

Then the Heavenly Knight asked, "Even if you gain power, you may not be able to realize your dreams. The great risks you have taken, all the efforts you have made to achieve your dreams, all the pain you have suffered, can be in vain, and you will end up with nothing. ------Even so, do you want to gamble once?"

＂...... Yes. The White Bear Man's answer was a little firmer.

"What a nice look. So let's go. The Grand Duke did not continue to ask, but pushed the door open.

Elaine clenched her fists as well, silently following behind Parin Lore.

At the same time, the silver knight boy Daniel also finished politely with the other high-ranking knights, and finally got rid of the entanglement of the group of people and walked out of the conference room. He had just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he would finally be able to go back to rest (his official leave had not yet been used up), but he did not expect to meet the Grand Duke of Parinlore again after walking a few steps down the corridor. And Palinlore seems to be followed by a white bearman, an unfamiliar face that Daniel has almost never seen in the castle.

"Your Excellency, Grand Duke. Daniel bowed briefly but politely.

"Don't be polite with me. Palinlore was leading Elaine away, and he saw that Daniel didn't care, but he suddenly thought about it and stopped: "By the way, you're the young man who just got promoted to Silver Knight today, right...... It seems to be called ...... Daniel?"

"Yes, Silver Knight Daniel Young, it is a pleasure to serve you, the Grand Duke. Daniel replied.

"What about service------ Palinlore, a reckless man with only muscles left in his body, was originally very bad at using his brain, but he used his brain today: "Anyway, you just got promoted to Silver Knight today, which means you don't have any tasks on your side for the time being?"

"Yes, Grand Duke. ＂

(Sniff sniff.) Parin Lore makes a sniffing motion.

"Hmph. You have the smell of dragon steel, and the peculiar sour smell of succubi. Parin Lore thought for a moment, "Oh, I remember! You're the one in the report, who drank the dragon's blood and didn't die, and at the same time became a dark green knight?"

"Yes, Grand Duke. Daniel continued. He was surprised that Grand Duke Parinlore, the head of the Eastern Heaven Knights, would actually go to check this kind of report. He originally thought that a busy man like the Grand Duke would definitely not have time to pay attention to such trivial matters.

"Since you have dragon blood and are a dark green knight------ does that mean you have a lot of strength?" asked Parin Lore.

"Uh," Daniel was stunned for a moment, completely unexpecting the other party to ask such a question, and replied truthfully while thinking, "If you change the muscle structure temporarily...... I think I can get a lot of strength. ＂

"How much can you carry this guy?" Palinlore gestured to the White Bear Man behind him.

So Daniel took a closer look at the slightly obese white bear man. Elaine was actually one of the smaller of the White Bears------ Daniel had seen other White Bears doing all sorts of odd jobs in various institutions in Great Britain before, and he could roughly compare the differences.

"At this level, you should be able to carry it. Daniel then said.

"Huh, huh?" Elaine snorted in confusion. The white-haired and green-eyed boy in front of him looked extremely thin and thin, not at all like a strong man. What Palin Lore was talking about, he didn't quite understand.

"That's fine. The Heavenly Knight Parin Lore ignored Elaine's whispered protest and continued, "Since you are very idle and have great strength, then come along. This guy may be paralyzed and unable to move in a few hours, and if you can carry him back, then I can save a lot of trouble on my side. ＂

"Okay, okay. "Now that he's on vacation, Daniel usually refuses requests from other people in the Order. But it was the leader of the Eastern Heaven Knights, Parin Lore, who asked him, the commander of the entire Knights, and his immediate boss, how could Daniel have the capital to refuse?

"Then let's go. Luckily, it's not too far to get to your destination and you can walk there. Parin Lore said again, and at the same time looked at the silver knight boy Daniel seriously: "Also, what happened next is a secret, you can't tell it to outsiders, you know?"

Not knowing what Grand Duke Parinlore intended to do (or what he intended to do to the White Bearman), Daniel nodded obediently. It didn't seem like a task that was even a formal mission, it was just an errand, and he really didn't have anything else to do.

Ten minutes later, in front of an old house in the suburbs of London.

Looking at the small and even dilapidated mansion in front of him, Daniel couldn't help but feel a little strange. This house, which covers an area of about 100 acres even from a distance, is actually a slightly old, east-wing and even a bit of a disrepair-like old stone house. Along with the vegetation that began to grow wildly around it, the exterior walls of the old house made of stone bricks were invaded by greenery, and many creepers were rooting and extending in the cracks of the stones, wantonly absorbing the sunlight that should have fallen on the stone bricks.

The silver knight boy didn't expect that the hometown of the Grand Duke of Palinlore, a heavenly knight, would be a mansion of this magnitude. He remembered that the Palinlore family was a collateral line of the Pantoraken royal family, and the Grand Duke of Parinlore was also a figure of great social status, with no shortage of wealth and power. The hometown of Grand Duke Palinlore should be dozens of times larger than the mansion in front of him.

However, since this is called "hometown" by the Grand Duke, the Palinlore family may not live here at all now, it is just an old residence, an ancient house that has been vacant for a long time and is too lazy to repair, and only the land ownership belongs to the Palinlore family.

Moreover, there were no guards or guard handles before the ancient house, and the entire ancient house was completely empty. Daniel's guess should be basically correct. But he was even more puzzled. The Grand Duke of Parinlore, the Heavenly Knight, brought a strange young man of the White Bear Man (Daniel judged from Elaine's size, the White Bear Man was not old) to come to such an empty place, what did he plan to do?

"That's it. Palinlore led Daniel and Elaine to the main entrance of the mansion, "I'm sorry, boy. I'm going to take this bear in to do some errands, and it's inconvenient for you to come with me. Can you wait here?"

"Of course, Lord Duke. Daniel nodded.

"As I said, it's going to be a long wait. The Heavenly Knight Parin Lore added, "If you're bored, find something to do to pass the time." Your mission is just to carry this guy back while he's gone. ＂

"Yes, Grand Duke. Daniel continued, though he had no idea what he could do to pass the time in such a deserted compound.

"So, see you later. Without further ado, Parin Lore pushed open the heavy steel door of the mansion and led the white bear man inside.
