Chapter 474: The Headquarters and Deputy Head of the Patrol Knights (4/3, ask for a monthly pass~)
Although it was very calm as he passed through the compound, Ian felt a lot of prying eyes...... There are even more than the backyard of the Marquis of Batun's house, which is really a bit difficult.
- Is it the custom of the Knights of the Patrol Order that a group of people hide and peep?
"Rookie report?"
Ian came to the workbench, and the civilian staff in charge looked at Ian's armor and age, and immediately understood: "Who is your recommender?" Have you been assessed? This knight, give me the documents first. ”
Her tone was gentle, and she obviously knew that Ian could be a patrol knight at his age, and no matter what she thought, there was someone behind her.
"Southridge, Port Harrison. The recommender was Viscount Grant, Marquis of Barton. ”
Ian handed over his knightly papers, a letter of recommendation signed by the Marquis of Barton.
After handing over the paperwork, he asked, "This is the secret letter entrusted by the Marquis of Batun to deliver it to the headquarters of the Imperial Patrol Knights. Pls where should I go to deliver it. ”
"Huh?"
The civil servant, who had been reminded of the name of the Marquis of Batun, raised her head, she looked at Ian in shock, and felt that the documents in her hands were hot: "This kind of secret letter should be delivered directly to the person the Marquis wants to deliver...... I don't know much about this......"
She panicked, as she had never dealt with such an incident on a regular basis.
"It was delivered to me."
A tall figure walked into the registry of the archives,
It was a middle-aged man who looked a little decadent, he had a resolute appearance, a helmet with an insignia in his hand, a matte silver full-body armor, his dark blue straight hair looked very hard, and his face had four strange black metal lines that passed through his eyes and the sides of his cheeks, and finally disappeared into a layer of metal that enclosed the sides of his cheeks and jaw.
"Deputy Commander!"
This is a people of iron. As soon as he entered, everyone in the archives straightened up and stood up with a serious expression.
Ian also turned to look at the tall knight.
- The Lord is coming.
"Don't talk nonsense, keep working, you don't usually see me."
The man who was called the deputy head of the regiment glanced faintly in front of him, he raised his hand, and everyone returned to their original positions and continued to work.
And he lowered his head and held out his hand to Ian, "Bardon's letter, isn't it?" It should be for me. Give me the letter, little one. ”
Out of the corner of Ian's eye, he noticed Tress standing outside the courtyard behind the deputy head of the regiment.
- Is it this deputy head of the regiment that he turned to? And if you can find me as soon as possible, behind this deputy head of the regiment should be the second prince......
The young man had expected this for a long time, and he nodded, "Sir, I need proof. ”
"Proof?"
The man with long dark blue hair was stunned for a moment, he didn't get angry, but muttered to himself: "Proof ...... Oh, I see. ”
He raised his eyebrows, the metal lines on his face flashed slightly, and looked at Ian: "Batun told you that as long as you bring the letter to the imperial capital, you will complete the task, and you don't say who the recipient of the letter is, right?" You dare to lie to me to prove it, it's really bold. ”
"Don't dare, sir."
Ian replied earnestly, "It's the Shogun who didn't say anything, so I need to prove it!" ”
"Hmm. I see, you are indeed a good seedling that he personally allowed to pass. ”
At this time, the deputy head of the regiment withdrew his hand, he laughed, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and his tone was much softer: "I will prove it to you, and the letter will be deposited with you first." ”
"I'll let you know when I get the certificate, and then you can come back to me and give me the letter."
With that, he simply turned around and left, and Tress followed behind the other party.
Ian didn't even know his name, just stared at the other man's back, his silver-blue eyes flashing thoughtfully.
- Dark Silver ...... Fourth Energy Level High ...... It's a bit of a struggle.
- Sure enough, the real fourth energy level is already my limit. If it weren't for the Soul Extreme Domain brought by the goblins, I'm afraid this deputy head would be able to make my observations backfire.
"Do you want a secret letter in the open...... "Gasping tiredly, he secretly said in his heart, and now he is really vigilant: "This is a signal." It was a signal that the Marquis of Batun had chosen the power of the Second Prince, or a signal that the deputy head of the Patrol Knights had expressed his attitude. ”
"Am I being used as a tool to make a statement? No, I guess I knew that I had already noticed the 'label' and tried to enter the imperial capital alone, so I chose to increase the weight. ”
"And...... I'll see him when the time comes......"
Whether it is the Marquis of Barton or the deputy head of the mission, for Ian, it is essentially one thing.
That is, he has been labeled a much broader and more massive label.
This is the collective label of the camp of the two princes.
But such a label is much heavier than the Marquis of Batun alone or the Ellen family, which is exactly what Ian wants.
"Take a stand with an open and honest statement. It seems that the struggle within the imperial capital is much heavier than I imagined...... Is Emperor Axel out of business? ”
Turning back thoughtfully, Ian smiled and said to the civilian staff at the reception, "Sorry for interrupting work." What should I do next? ”
"Don't dare, knight, I should work. Please follow me. ”
The effect of the label is obvious, not only the gaze that bets on Ian has changed from curiosity and doubt at the beginning, to abruptness and solemnity.
Even the attitude of the civilian in front of her changed significantly, and she led Ian to a separate soundproof cubicle: "Your name...... Ah, sure enough, it's already registered. The next step is for you to sign the formalities so that the Imperial Capital Headquarters will leave you a registered identification......"
Everything that followed was smooth, and all Ian had to do was sign the documents here at HQ one after another.
"Knight, here is a list of your merits that you haven't received your payment yet, please make sure it's correct."
When Ian had almost signed, the clerk fetched another stack of papers, and she politely asked, "If there's anything missing, please let us know." ”
Ian scanned the paperwork and found that from assisting the Eren family in exploring the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea, to repelling the Flameland agent organization on the alchemy train, it can be said that all the things that have been related to the empire since the serious activities have been recorded on it.
Moreover, all of them have become the credit of the identity of 'Patrol Knight'.
- Good fellow, it turns out that I have been a Knight of the Patrol for a long time, and in this capacity, I assisted Ethan and Master Gosai in exploring the Great Labyrinth of the South Seas...... Hey, even the revelation that the redwood natives around Port Harrison had been infiltrated by Flamelands agents was only stopped by me, the Patrol Knight, who was keenly aware of it and dealt a blow!
- I have so much credit? I can't imagine it. Is this the power of someone behind it?
Ian felt that not only was there no less, but there was a lot more strange credit on the table...... He shook his head slightly, but still signed his name: "What can these credits do?" Promotion? ”
"Your Excellency, you're joking. If there is merit, you can get a reward. ”
The civilian chuckled, apparently thinking that Ian was joking, how could he not know about this: "We Patrol Knights have independent budgets, logistical channels, and funding flows, and each knight needs to form a squad for his own - merit is used for this, my lord." ”
"Potions, weapons, armor, tomes...... The Knights never hide from their knights. ”
With that, she glanced at Ian's form and made a rough estimate, "According to your merits, Lord Knight...... It is enough to award a badge of honor and a five-year salary. You already have armor and weapons, you can convert this part into this, so ......"
Raising his head, the civilian said with sincere envy: "You can at least exchange for the complete second-level potion recipe, or two second-level potion materials!" ”
