A wooden bed, a weapon rack, an armor stand, a weapons service table, a dining table, a rocking chair, and a fireplace are all that Lancelot, the former hero of the kingdom of Ocasre, has in his living room. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Gao Long, who came with Edward, was not only not ashamed of his boss's poor room, but a little proud.

"President Lancelot is an example and role model for all the warriors of our Warrior Association, and his age and status do not affect his strength in the slightest, and he is still a hero of the Okasley Kingdom. Gao Long said proudly.

"Who are you talking to? A neutral voice walked out of the kitchen in the room.

At this time, Lancelot was wearing a chef's suit, holding a pan in his hand, and looked at Gao Long and Edward.

When he saw Edward, his eyes lit up, and he put down the pan and walked over.

"Edward Lee, brave warrior, welcome to my home. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm making dinner for myself, would you like to try my roast and home-brewed cider?"

"It's an honor, President Lancelot. Edward showed great respect for the old man who had saved him.

............

The three of them sat down and had a hearty dinner before Edward explained his intentions.

Lancelot pinched his chin and thought for a while, then said, "It's no problem for me to come forward, but our Warrior Guild and the Slave Catchers have always been opponents, and if Varik doesn't want to sell, we are helpless." ”

"There is no law in Okaslay that makes refusal illegal. ”

"And the arena is run by that old fellow of Harles, and your restoration of your freedom and the rewards you received from them have seriously damaged the interests of that group, even if I come forward in person, I may encounter obstacles, after all, I have no rights now. ”

"What then? If I can't, I'll have to force my way in. Edward said anxiously.

"Don't worry, I may not be fit to come forward, but there is one person who will surely make Harles and Varik do what they say. ”

"Who?"

"Duke Haydn. Seeing Edward's confused face, Lancelot immediately remembered that the other party did not know much about the high-level of the Okasley Kingdom, so he explained, "Duke Haydn used to be with me, and we were both His Majesty's left arm and right arm. Although he does not hold any position now, his prestige is unmatched. Ever heard of the Haydn Chamber of Commerce?"

"Are you saying that the Haydn Chamber of Commerce spread across the Western Continent is Duke Haydn's estate?"

"That's right, Duke Haydn is not only a big businessman, but also has a secret army in his hands. This force belongs to him personally and to His Majesty the King, and has been present many times in the history of the kingdom of Okasra, and has played a great role in the new king's accession to the throne, do you understand what I say?"

"This ...... Can you tell me about this?" Of course Edward understood what it meant, this unit must be a secret force in charge of intelligence and assassination, and ordinary people would not know about it.

"Whether there is a problem or not depends on your choice. Lancelot looked at Edward with blazing eyes, "Edward Lee, I now formally invite you to join the Shadow Guard. ”

"Don't be too busy making a statement, I'll give you a brief introduction to the current situation in the kingdom and the purpose of this army. ”

"Edward, our kingdom of Okasreh has reached a critical moment of existential crisis. Too long of peace has brought prosperity to the kingdom, but it has also brought decay, and most of the upper echelons of the kingdom have fallen into arrogance and arrogance, except for a few who still remember the glory of Okasre. The old king is already old, but the **** is still very young, in this case, the orcs and the abyss monsters appear frequently. The signs showed me that a crisis was approaching and that disaster was coming. ”

"The purpose of the Holy Shadow Guard is to help **** ascend to the throne smoothly, and secretly protect the kingdom from all evils, and eradicate all the black sheep that damage the interests of the Okasley Kingdom. ”

"Would you like to join such a unit?"

"I'd like to ask, who is the leader of the Shadow Guard?" Edward asked, after a moment's thought.

"It's me. Lancelot replied.

"Then I'll join. Edward didn't say much, and since Lancelot was the leader of the Shadow Guard, he decided to join.

Lancelot patted Edward's shoulder with satisfaction, wrote a letter, stamped his badge, handed it to Gollon, and said to Edward: "I will ask Gorlong to deliver this letter to the Duke of Haydn, and then you will leave this matter alone, I believe that my old fellow will easily fulfill your wish." ”

After saying that, Lancelot also winked at Edward: "Maybe when you return to Little Lake Fort tomorrow, you will be able to meet the beautiful female elf." ”

"Now, I'll take you to the Shadow Guard's station. ”

After Goulon left, Lancelot stepped on a pile of firewood in the fireplace a few times, and the wall on one side of the fireplace suddenly cracked, revealing a secret door.

Lancelot picked up a magic lantern and walked in first, and Edward followed without hesitation.

"Although you are not my Okasray, I have been following you for a long time. Your character is the main reason why I decided to let you join the Shadow Guard, and you think I'm a ...... of Grace."

"Say no more, President Lancelot, no, Your Excellency Commander, without your help, I would be a dead man by now. That's why Edward Lee will work for you!" Edward interrupted Lancelot, firmly.

"Good, looking forward to your performance. ”

The tunnel behind the secret door was very long, and Edward could see from the map he carried in the menu that the secret passage extended to the outside of the city of Okasley, to the interior of the icy mountain in the north of the city.

When the two walked out of the tunnel, what appeared in front of them was a huge cave, with magic lamps hanging on the dark gray walls, making the cave appear brilliantly lit.

"Welcome to the Shadow Guard Headquarters. The presence of the two of them caused a warning here, and although Edward could not see anyone in the cave with complex terrain and strange rocks, he could feel a lot of sight.

A gray-haired woman in black light armor, with twin swords hanging from her back, and her entire face shrouded in a black hood, jumped out from behind a pile of strange rocks and appeared in front of them.

"Let me introduce you, this is Edith Greyblade, the deputy commander of the Shadow Guard and the captain of the Capital Detachment, and this is our newcomer, our future Vice-Captain Edward Lee. Lancelot introduced.

"Welcome aboard, Edward Lee. Edith's voice was cold, and she took off her hood, revealing a pretty but aloof, face, painted with black eyeshadow and scar war marks, "I know you, Edward, I've been to all your athletic games, I'm still your fanatical hug, come, let my sister hug me." ”

The captain, who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, hugged Edward without saying a word, and licked Edward's neck - with her petite stature, her head could only reach Edward's neck.

Edward was so frightened by her actions that he took a few steps back and looked at the other in disbelief, causing Lancelot to laugh.
