Chapter 05: The Fifth Squad (2)

"So...... You have no plan at all, and you have no ideas?" Alvin hesitated.

"Why should I have an idea? I'm just here to assist you, why should I have an idea?" Simon scoffed.

"Forehead ......"

Well, that makes sense, and Alvin was speechless.

At this moment, even though the lich didn't have such a thing as an eye at all, Alvin could still feel a deep disdain from those two soul fires.

The sweat slowly fell from his forehead, and his scalp was numb, and his scalp was really numb.

"Ahem...... I thought you had been sent to guide me. ”

"You're already the captain of the fifth detachment, what guidance do you need? Theoretically, you have a higher position than me. At least in the system of the Knights of the Silver Moon. Although the White Bone Holy Light Holy See has not officially given you the title yet. ”

"Uh...... Is that so?"

"Isn't it?"

"Well, I just found out ......"

"You're already a mature squad leader, you should know how to form your own detachment. ”

"I'm just on the job...... It's only eight hours. ”

"Eight hours is a long time. Brutus took only ten minutes to complete the formation of the fourth detachment. Karl, mallet, Camilla didn't last more than half an hour. Why do you need someone else to guide you?"

"Okay......" Elwin looked embarrassed, thought for a moment, and asked seriously, "Have you seen Miss Irene?" I mean Lord Beshear. ”

"Why should I see her?" The soul fire in Simon's eyes bent into a question mark: "The formation of the fifth detachment of the Silver Moon Knights is our own business of the Silver Moon Knights, more precisely yours, she is not a member of the Silver Moon Knights. ”

"What do you mean...... I have to rely on my own strength to put the fifth detachment together?"

"Hmm...... You're not going to tell me you don't even know how to set it up, and you have to ask for help, do you?"

Not only did Alwin's scalp tingle, but he also had a chill down his spine.

Silence, silence for a long time.

The wind blew softly, shaking the green leaves on the riverside. At night, the river is sparkling.

In the distance, the child, whose mouth had been wide open because of Simon's presence, was still with his mouth wide open.

"You can think slowly, not in a hurry. Anyway, time is the cheapest thing in the world. Simon touched his bare skull with his hand and said, "But before that, will you settle me down?" ”

"Oh...... Oh, okay, no problem!" Alvin quickly put on his helmet and turned on his horse.

A gust of wind blew, and Simon floated directly to Alwin's side.

Riding his horse, Alvin began to walk with Simon towards the city.

You can imagine what it would be like for a knight to walk down a straight and gloomy avenue into the city at night, with a skeleton floating beside him.

In short, Alwin's scalp was numb, and so were the residents of White City. Every now and then, screams are heard.

In the past few years, due to the situation on the mainland and the influence of public opinion, the image of the lich has changed greatly in people's hearts. But change doesn't mean people can accept it without scruples. It's still frightening to see such a skeleton floating in the air in the dark.

Lich stuff isn't common in the first place, so you've got to give everyone a little time to get used to it, right?

So, in the middle of the night, a large crowd watched carefully through the windows as Simon entered the city.

Simon must have felt the change in the atmosphere.

You thought he would hide and undo the influence? You're wrong, you're underestimating the Lich. He chose to light two ghost fires for people to see more clearly.

Alvin was starting to break out in a cold sweat, but luckily, the heavy new armor even closed his face, perfectly hiding his embarrassment.

"Where would you like to stay? I think it's nice to live in a castle, it's a little bit better there. ”

"Do you live in a castle?"

"No, I live at home. ”

"Then I'll stay at your house too, so that I can help you. Simon replied casually.

Well, that's great news. In other words, not only does Alvin take Simon down the street, but also takes him home?

Alvin had worries, concerns, opinions, and struggles, but he didn't dare to say anything. Yes, dare not say. Doesn't it make him seem like he hates lichs?

You must know that the Knights of the Silver Moon and the Holy See of the White Bone Holy Light were both founded on the basis of lichs, and on the continent of Celtes, respecting lichs is politically correct.

There was no way, Alvin had no choice but to take Simon home. In the middle, he also diverged and walked on a small road, deliberately taking some relatively uninhabited roads, as low-key as possible.

Finally, one might even say sneaky, he finally returned to his door.

Compared to a month ago, their family is finally no longer overcrowded when they come back every day, after all, the limelight will always pass, and people will always have to live their own lives. No one will follow him endlessly every day.

However, today there is no one at home, but there is a person behind him......

It can't be helped, the lich is too attention-grabbing.

Standing in front of his house, Alvin took a deep breath before pulling out the key and unlocking it. When pushing the door, it was as light as possible, tiptoeing. After all, he didn't want to scare his father in the middle of the night.

Since you live in your own home, you always have to see each other, but it's better to see you during the day than at night, isn't it?

"Shhhh......h ”

"I'm floating in the air, and I don't have to be soft and I don't have a sound. Simon spread his hands.

"Elwin? I'm back a little late today, and dinner is on the table. Bard's voice came from the living room.

"Yes, Father. Alvin replied, "I'll eat later." ”

"I just heard someone else talking, is someone coming?" Bard's voice grew closer.

"No, father, no!" Alwyn screamed in fright.

Before he could finish speaking, Bud had already poked his head out of the living room and was facing Simon floating in the air. The distance between each other is only one meter at most.

All of a sudden, both sides froze.

Alwin, who couldn't stop his father in time, widened his eyes in horror, and Simon floated in the air as if nothing had happened.

Bard's expression began to distort at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Silence, short silence.

"Ah——!" Soon, a scream broke out: "What did you bring back——!"

At the sound of this concussion, several neighbors around them lit up their lights.

After Alvin officially became a knight, there was another big news in the Schmidt family - Alvin brought a ghost back.

Well, tomorrow there will be a topic after tea and dinner again.

......

"So, this is the archbishop...... Simeon?" Bud wiped his cold sweat endlessly, one moment sneering, the other terrified, the expression indescribably awkward.

"Yes. Lord Simon is here to help me form the Fifth Detachment of the Knights of the Silver Moon. Alvin replied with a blank face.

"Fifth detachment of the Knights of the Silver Moon?"

"I've just been promoted to captain of the fifth detachment of the Silver Moon Knights, and that's it for today. The suit I'm wearing is my new armor. Maybe it's standard armor, I don't know yet. ”

"Uh...... The news is fantastic. Bard looked at Simon and continued to sweat: "Lord Simon, to be honest, I'm still a little dizzy. I don't know what the fifth detachment of the Knights of the Silver Moon is...... What a concept. But it sounds like a good position. That's good news, great news. I'm very happy, really. ”

After that, continue to wipe the sweat.

Expressionless...... Oh no, it should be said that Simon, who could not have an expression, looked at Bard silently, floating cross-legged and motionless.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Wiping two more handfuls of sweat, Bud continued, "I know I'm not doing well ...... Not very polite, but believe me, I'm excited. Definitely not for the Lich...... A different view. Really, trust me. Do you want to drink? I happen to have some good white wine. ”

"Lichs don't drink. ”

"Do you need something to eat? You've just arrived, maybe you're hungry, and I have some pastries in the kitchen. ”

"The lich doesn't eat either, I'm a lich. ”

"Uh...... Well, sorry, really sorry. I was so nervous. The sweat on Bud's face was about to flow into a waterfall: "That...... Can I do something for you?"

Simon replied in his hoarse, somewhat eerie voice, "Prepare a room for me, I'm going to stay at your house from today onwards." ”

"Stay, stay...... My family?" Bard's voice shifted a little as he said this. It's like I'm ready to cry at any moment.

"Not welcome?" asked Simon.

"No, of course you're welcome! I'll prepare a room for you!" said Bud, who stood up in a panic and grabbed the oil lamp. Before he could touch the oil lamp, he tripped over the low table and fell to the ground with a "clang".

"Whew, who put the low table here? Well, it's me...... Oh my God! I'm sorry! I'll go now, I'll be right away! I'll be back soon! Wait a minute!"

Scrambling to get up from the ground, Bard finally got the oil lamp and walked away. As he left the hall, he slammed the door again.

Anyway, he was gone, albeit temporarily.

Simon turned his head sideways and looked at him expressionlessly, "This is your father?"

"Yes. Alvin replied with a blank face.

......

At night, the wind blew gently.

Schmidt's neighbors, behind almost every window, had a person standing secretly, looking out with trepidation. At the slightest movement, you hear a "pop"! All the windows are closed.

The atmosphere was extremely eerie.

......

The Schmidt family always had a room for visiting customers from afar. So, it's actually pretty quick to clean up.

Half an hour later, Bard ushered Simon into his bedroom.

Eighteen square meters of bedrooms, this is the largest bedroom in the Schmidt family.

A large bed with neat linens. A window facing south. A desk, a chair. A bookshelf filled with piles of books used to decorate, and a wardrobe.

A simple room.

"That's it, Lord Simon, do you like it?" Bard said earnestly while wiping his sweat, "If you don't feel satisfied, I can arrange another room for you immediately." We had a nice hostel near here. I can ......."

"No, I'm satisfied. ”

"You don't have to. ”

"I'm really satisfied. ”

Bard wanted to speak again and again, but finally could only grit his teeth and say, "If you are satisfied, then...... Rest early!Good night!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran away. When the door was closed, he tried to feed.

After a while, he seemed to remember to leave his son behind, and pushed the door open again: "Elwin, come out quickly, don't disturb Lord Simon's rest!"

"We still have things to talk about. Alvin replied reluctantly.

"Is there anything else to talk about? Okay...... Then you talk. I'm going to sleep first!Good night!"

After saying that, there was a "bang", and the door closed again.

From beginning to end, Bard's eyes didn't dare to glance at Simon.

Simon and Alvin were the only ones left in the room, and the two men looked at each other silently.

"I'm sorry, but my father was just an ordinary civilian. Alvin spread his hands and said, "I don't know if that's the right thing to say, although everyone has changed their opinion of the lich and will no longer be hostile to the lich, but there is still fear. I hope you don't mind. ”

"No, I don't mind. Humans rightly fear us, and they have been so for tens of thousands of years. We're used to it. ”

"Thank you for your understanding. He nodded, and then Alvin leaned over and pulled a chair and sat down. After sitting down, he suddenly remembered something, and quickly stood up, looked at Simon twice, and his eyes flickered.

The moonlight shone in obliquely through the window. A skeleton floating in the air in the white robe of the White Bone Holy Light Sect always had a creepy feeling.

This feeling is not just shared by others, but also by Alvin. It's just that he's trying to overcome it.

The scene is still so embarrassing.

Simon, who was floating in the air, moved slightly, and the bones of his body made a "crackling" sound, and then floated cross-legged above the bed, looked at Alwin, touched his chin and said, "Say, what are you going to do, what do you need me to support?" This is the point, I want to know what I need to do. ”

"Actually...... I haven't quite figured it out yet. It was so sudden. Alvin stammered, "I wasn't prepared for it, and I didn't know how to set it up. Especially without Miss Irene's help. I don't have enough prestige in the White City. If there's anything that has to be done now...... That's probably what you know about equipment. I don't even know what to do with it. Also, I need to know what kind of equipment can be obtained by the fifth detachment based on magical equipment. In this way, I will know what kind of people I should organize and what kind of tasks I can handle. ”

Simon looked at Alvin quietly.

Alvin continued, "That's all I can think of for the time being, I need a little time, and it may not be short. I hope you can give it to me. ”

After being silent for a while, Simon waved his hand and said, "Of course, of course I'm willing to give you time." After all, I'm here to help you. Just do what you think, I'm just in charge of assisting you. ”

Hearing this, Alvin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
