A month later, far away from Roland and Ingier, in the branch of the Knights' Council in a landlocked country, a dusty teenager was leaning against a wall and pretending to sleep.

"Sir, are you Mr. Knight, Mr. Ed?" asked a staff member who pushed aside the crowd in front of the task panel and walked straight to him.

"Yes. ”

"Please show proof of your identity. The messenger said politely, in Ed's feelings, the other party is also a complete ordinary person, but compared to the people who are extremely numb to Ingill, the other party is more like a "person".

After thinking about it, the young man took out the badge that was pinned on the inside of his placket and handed it over.

"Thank you, please wait here for a while, and if it is verified, we will be able to meet your request and turn on the telecommunication function. The messenger stretched out his hands and solemnly took the small reserve member badge, as if it weighed a thousand pounds.

The adventurers who gathered around to choose the task issued by the Knight Guild looked at Ed in surprise and muttered to each other.

"Absorbed by the knights belonging to the Knight Association at such a young age, it must be an elite from a big family!"

"Hey, don't be envious, isn't there a rumor recently that the Northern War has expanded again, and at this time, joining the Knights may be transferred to the battlefield one day, you think it's a good thing!"

All the whispers around him were in Ed's ears, but he didn't react, and his heart was like stagnant water.

After a while, the waiter reappeared, returned the badge, and invited him into the inner room, where there was another person to receive him.

"Your Excellency, we are about to turn on the telecommunication device for you, and there is already a big man waiting on the other end. The well-dressed staff led him into a secret room. In the center is a large hexagonal clear crystal, supported by a large star crystal underneath. Ed estimated that the pedestal alone was worth a lot.

Ask Ed to do it on the seat directly in front of him, and the staff turns on the crystal. Eddard followed his instructions by placing his hands on the ends of the crystal and began to infuse it with psionic energy.

"Okay, we will be able to connect soon, and the last thing to remind you is that although the total amount of psionic energy you have is large enough to maintain the energy consumption generated by communication, the quality of this communication crystal in front of you is only two stars, and it can last no more than a quarter of an hour, after which it is likely to be damaged. We also hope that you will pay attention to any errors or omissions in your communication process. ”

After speaking, the other party bowed, turned around and retreated.

Listening to the other party's meaning, even if he uses this set of communication equipment that seems to be of high value, it doesn't matter, he doesn't need to bear the loss, but more importantly, his communication may have problems, which makes Ed once again understand the meaning behind the badge that Carmen gave him in the first place.

But he didn't have time to sigh, as psionic energy continued to enter. The crystal began to resonate with the distance, and gradually a vague figure appeared inside.

"Ed, is that you?"

The voice of the little witch Sheryl came, and the young man's heart was relieved. A faint disappointment followed, "Shiryl, I'm in your branch of the association. I'm here to get your help. ”

He threw out all the plans he had thought of in advance, and the other side was silent for a while. "Okay, I got it. I'll report to the eldest sister when she comes back, you wait for our news in the same place, there's nothing else, right?"

Without waiting for the boy to answer, the input of psionic energy stopped there, and the image gradually dimmed, and at the end Ed faintly heard a small mutter, "I said it wasn't for women, hum!"

Walking out of the hall of the Knights' Guild, he was greeted by his companion who was waiting outside, "Ed, how are you talking?"

The voice was crisp and beautiful, like a oriole, but the bouncing figure was not the previous Chesterton, but the long-lost Qili.

"Well, wait for the message to reply, let's go back first. ”

The little girl staggered around him, looking at the goods in the surrounding shops, and then taking out the small bow that Ed had given him to play with.

"You're going to make me dizzy!" Ed looked at her happy appearance, and his heavy mood couldn't help but improve a little, and the corners of his mouth faintly showed a long-lost smile.

"Ahh

A few days ago, Ed came to this small town where traffic converged, and visited the secret junction of the Knight Guild branch and the Nemesis Church, and happened to meet Qili who had returned to report on her work at the latter.

It's not necessarily a coincidence, the other party told him his origin at the beginning, and this time he also came to find it with the mentality of trying it out.

If you ask for help, Qili alone obviously can't play a big role, Ed values the organization she belongs to, since an old businessman can issue a task, then he can naturally too, but the content of such a task against the church is obviously not suitable for the sun, so the Nemesis Church, which specializes in dealing with secret affairs, is a good choice.

Approaching their hotel, Qili was much more restrained, because there was a high-rise of her living inside, and an old woman stood at the door to greet them.

"Mr. Eddard is back, I wonder if things are going well?" the old woman asked at once, and at this time, like a mouse meeting a cat, the little girl obediently shrank up, and hid behind the woman and tried to pretend to be a good girl.

"Almost, just wait for the other party to send someone!" In front of the collaborator, Ed regained his cold appearance, and his tone was much harder.

"That's good!, with the help of the Knight Guild, the grasp is much greater, of course, even without them, our Nemesis Church can do it alone, and dealing with those papal seekers who deceive the world is what we are good at!" The old woman nodded, obviously not wanting to rely on the help of others other than Eddard to make things happen.

"I hope!" the boy winked at Kiri behind the woman, and got up to return to his room.

Although the Nemesis organization to which Qili belongs is hostile to the Mainland Church and covets each other's territory in Ingier, this alone and his friendship with the little girl still can't move this organization.

The key is that there is a huge bounty for this mission he posted, and most of the rewards he received from Roland were used by him for this bounty because of his outstanding performance in the war, land, real estate, and a large amount of deposit.

The boy was not distressed, the rest and enough money for him to spend were still left, and if they could rescue Delia, they wouldn't need so much wealth to travel together. (To be continued......)
