Time poured by like water, and soon night came, and Noh woke up in the room that Anna had arranged.

I slept much more comfortably than I had imagined.

Although he is in a strange place, I don't know if it is because of the preconceived impression of Anna's team, he has some sense of belonging to the Knights of Dusk.

Perhaps there is also the credit of Captain Herman.

His steady personality and self-confidence in control made Nuo faintly impressed by his charisma.

The image of Captain Herman resembles a true heir to the chivalry of the Age of Origin.

Deep in his heart, Nuo suddenly firmly established this knightly image.

But in any case, he first needs to be tested by the Knights.

Nou quickly straightened his outfit: it was still the same grayish tunic with a pair of half-trimmed and half-mended breeches.

There were a lot of stains on his coat and breeches, and he didn't get any respite along the way, and he didn't carry any extra clothes, so he had to make ends meet.

Despite this, Nou found a clean woolen cloth in the house, dipped it in water, and tried to remove as much stain as possible from his body.

After a while, Nono pushed out the door.

Ti sat in a gazebo not far from the room.

The evening breeze blew from time to time, bringing with it a chill, and Ti couldn't help but tighten the fur clothes she was wearing.

The clothes were not taken with her when she left, but must have been lent to her by some kind person.

Ti was holding a teacup in his hand, and a little heat was coming out of it.

Ti held a cup and saluted the burly man sitting across from him, and took a sip of tea to warm up.

The man replied casually, took a sip, and then lifted the teapot to fill the teacups of the two.

The fuel lamp was lit at a distance, and it was even darker and more blurry in the quiet night.

The burly man wasn't someone Nou came into contact with often, but like Ti, his identity was recognizable by looking at his vague appearance—Herman, the head of the Knights of Dusk.

Nou walked in the hazy light and shadow, and did not make any footsteps.

After coming to the pavilion and quietly taking a seat, Captain Herman didn't say anything, and continued to sip hot tea.

Ty then noticed Nuo, and she asked with concern, "Nuo, how is the recovery?" ”

Although Ti didn't know that Nuo would extract the blood of the fused person as a conversion after the "Immortal Bird" ran out of gold fuel, she could still clearly see that Nuo was extremely weak after unbinding, which added a little to her curiosity about the original armor.

It is true that Nuo is tired due to the consumption of his blood by the "Immortal Bird" during the journey, but in fact, there is no excessive wear, after all, he has not been walking for a long time, and he has not used any movements with high energy requirements, but he is not used to it for a while, and he has not controlled his strength well, resulting in a moment of detachment.

Nuo gave a reassuring look and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm resting well." ”

After reassuring Ti, Nou turned his head to look at the calm head of the Herman group, and gestured respectfully to him.

Captain Herman did not speak, but took out another porcelain cup from the tea tray, filled it with tea, got up slightly, and put it in front of Nuo.

Noya got up, took it with both hands, and placed it firmly on the table.

The two of them looked at each other from afar, like wanderers, but the wine turned into tea.

"I know you, Beriel, Jean's bastard."

Captain Herman said coldly.

No, who seemed to have noticed it, did not move; Ty, however, was a little shocked, his pupils dilated, and he looked at Captain Herman in disbelief.

"How...... How so? ”

Captain Herman smiled gracefully at Ti.

Noo seemed to have already guessed something: "Captain Herman, you were also an upper-class citizen of the Papal Hall before. ”

"Huh."

When Captain Herman heard the word, he couldn't help but laugh.

"I haven't heard this word for a long time, 'upper-class citizens', but it is also hierarchical."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Captain Herman's words, but his tone sounded a little uncaring.

Nou nodded silently.

Grade......

In a power society, this is the most feared word.

"Captain Herman, how did you know about me? I thought it would be good enough to keep me protected. ”

Nou took a sip of tea, gently placed the cup in front of him, and let out his confusion.

Herman's expression was relaxed, and he didn't seem to find it difficult to know No's identity.

"Clear-sighted people know that let there be a secretly loyal assistant in the Holy See, handle all kinds of clerical affairs, complete them in an orderly manner, and add a lot of points to his government affairs, and people with a heart will naturally go to inquire, and they don't need to see you at all, know where you are, and use some interest exchanges to know most of them, but out of some unspoken rules, many people don't say it, after all, everyone knows it, but it's ......"

Captain Herman sold a pass.

"Jean is very cunning, your identity on the surface is just a forged 'real identity', all kinds of gold-plated inlays, which makes people feel very reasonable, so many people did not continue to investigate, and my father learned your actual true identity intentionally or unintentionally, and then something happened, whether it is related to you is also debatable."

"Something?"

Noh wondered.

Captain Herman twisted his head and recalled, "You may not know it, but I am from the Minos family. ”

"Minos? Count Minos! ”

No's brain instantly appeared on his second day in Prison Island, and the burly man he met on the way back after receiving Jean's brainwashing and indoctrination, although his strong physique was still there, it was difficult to hide the decline of his twilight years, and it must be a mental torture for a person who still enjoyed the status of an earl.

"Oh? Do you remember him? Because of the armor smuggling case that caused a sensation across the country? ”

Captain Herman became interested.

Nou shook his head: "I know about that case, but I don't care about the protagonist of the case, I know that Count Minos is purely because I had a relationship with him in Prison Island, and he taught me some truths, which is very helpful to me." ”

Captain Herman was incredulous: "I didn't expect that with your identity, you couldn't escape being sent to Prison Island in the end, which is worthy of the inheritance of the previous popes." ”

He felt something, but he didn't know whether he felt deeply or sighed for the past.

The embarrassed look didn't last long, and Captain Herman replied indifferently: "The Count of Minos is my father, but I left Kangjin City since I was a child, and went everywhere, and there are footprints I left in every place, and I didn't return to the family until five years ago, because my father was called back because of the imprisonment of the armor smuggler. ”

"After returning to my family, I spent a year in the Central Army, and my family's status as an earl has not been lost, and I am still a rich prince, and the first time I entered the army was as a commander."

"Not long after I entered the army, I joined the selection list of the next generation of armor suitors because of my strange pupils, I was asked to match the more intensive training, these are nothing, but I don't like the identity of the 'fitter' very much, I hate killing, I hate war, but now I have to use war to eliminate brutality."

Head Herman said, a hint of melancholy on his face.

"So I chose to leave the Central Army, severing my relationship with the Minoan family, and I had no sense of belonging to the city of Kangjin and the Papal States, and I had traveled abroad for many years, and I saw countless poor people who were displaced, and their experiences made me feel pain in my heart, but I couldn't do anything about it, and finally ......"

"I came to Hesse, to this den of dragons and tigers where mercenaries are entrenched, and after three years of accumulation, I established the Knights of Dusk for the knightly dream that sprouted in my childhood."

"Dusk is a metaphor for the fate of the Papal States, and I will accomplish this feat with every hardened knight of the Order."

Captain Herman drank the teacup that he had been holding in his hand for a long time, and the tea had already cooled, but it could not extinguish Captain Herman's fiery heart.

"That's my story, No, and if you agree with me to call you that, the Knights of Dusk will be determined to achieve their goals."

Captain Herman said for a long time, but in the end, it was to invite Noh to join them, body and soul, not as a refuge.

"Why?"

Nou was puzzled, even if Captain Herman knew about him, he didn't need to spend so much effort to persuade him.

"Huh."

Captain Herman smiled slightly: "The fiery red mobile armor, Jean's secret secretary, the calm brain, the ruthlessness of the young man, the Dusk Knights must need a talent like you." ”

Nou nodded silently.

The scene seemed to stand still for a few minutes, until the cold wind of the night became stronger, and then Nou spoke: "I will get the other members of the Order to approve of me, starting with the most basic etiquette." ”

Captain Herman nodded with satisfaction: "I look forward to your performance. ”

The cold wind stopped, and a bright moon lifted away the black clouds, releasing a holy glow.
