Now, seven years later, Banato and Gallagher are watching the CCTV footage in the command room, from the time Mono met the two special forces, and now all floors of the Foggy Hotel have become battlefields. There are knights who defuse bombs in the parking lot, there are knights who find portals in the toilets, and there are knights who find that fire extinguishers have been transferred...... All sorts of things like this are happening one after another.

If it could be openly announced that "because someone is going to assassinate Princess Flomi, strict security measures must be implemented" and the security breach should be completely blocked, the situation would not be so much. However, Gallagher demanded that "on the surface, it seems that nothing is going on, and no one wants the life of the eldest princess", so the security vulnerability can only be left alone, and the whitewash is given priority.

On the TV screen, the two saw Xi Ke who was about to go back to work after eating.

"Who's that?" Gallagher asked first.

"I work in the Department of Magical Pets, my real name is Rick Tregg. Banato replied.

"This person should be careful. He is used to fighting. Galag said.

"This man can be trusted, he's pretty much one of ours. Banato said, "And he has no political or religious beliefs, and he will not be friendly one second, and the next he will suddenly say that you are an enemy of doctrine or something, and he will stab him with a knife. 」

Galag nodded, not saying anything in particular.

Banato stared at Galag's side face. From the straight nose bridge to the chin line, it gives people a feeling of rigidity, as well as the restrained temperament of typical Nirvana. If memory serves, Gallagher is a descendant of a nobleman, single and unslandered, and is the guardian knight of the so-called "marriage to the state". Usually he stays at home, does not go abroad as a guard, does not do diplomatic work, and does not attend the International Knight Biennial, which is actually rare to see him in person.

"Anyway—" Bannatu spoke, always finding it a little difficult to pick the words, "-weishenme, you're here this time?"

"Because it's an important task. Gallag's expression didn't change at all.

"Even so, yes. But Her Highness Flomi's husband was supposed to be her chief of guard, didn't he?"

"This has nothing to do with you. Gallagher faintly sealed Banatou's mouth.

Banato is not going to think in the direction of gossip, and Gallagher will not have gossip. He could only guess that there was a big reason behind it that Gallagher didn't want to mention, and it probably wasn't something that would make people happy.

Gallagher was silent for a moment, only to hear the communicator. After about a minute, Gallag took the initiative to speak, "Isolohn is the heart of the whole mission, and I'm only in charge of part of it.

"No one is going to act for the side that is destined to lose in the political struggle, except for true friends – the people who moved this time are helping because of him. 」

Banato asked, "Are you too?"

The Royal Knights of Nirvana are not like their own country, they are real political units, unlike the Holy Shield, which only has a "royal" in its name, but is actually loyal to its own justice. The political struggle of Nirvana could not have been uninvolved on the day of the Illumination.

Gallagher didn't answer, but the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

There was a long series of sounds from the communicator.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Rick works at the Magical Pets Department at the Misty Hotel.

Magical pets are a new trend that has only blown up in the past few years. Merchants call them "magic pets", which sounds like a high-end thing, but in fact they are just commercializing synthetic beasts. Synthetic beasts, which were originally only raised by mages, are now promoted by merchants to ordinary people.

Magical pets are expensive, and the price of customization is even higher, attracting wealthy people to buy them to show off. In addition to the previous pet boarding services such as dogs, cats, snakes, horses, and alpacas, the hotels that specialize in entertaining the wealthy have to increase the number of magical pet boarding services.

As a result of the rise of the new industry, mages specializing in Warcraft are in short supply, and the Magic Pet Development Company has already hunted all the talents before the students leave the campus. Xi Ke had previously obtained a Class B license in Warcraft, and with this trend, he became a sought-after commodity in the job market.

One of his jobs is "walking".

If no one had done the act, there would have been no law, so the law has always been one step slower than social change. At present, the activities related to synthetic beasts are still carried out in accordance with the provisions of the "Mage Law". The law that specifically regulates commercial synthesizers is still lying in the Legislative Yuan and slowly accepting the boycotts of all parties.

Therefore, many of these "magic pets" are not suitable for the general public at all, and some are not even close to them if they are not combatants.

For example, the synth beast that Rick is going to take out for a walk now has a loose-skinned primate face, a blood-red stripe on its nose, a wolf-like body, and a metallic, rainbow-graded fur that looks extravagant, but also implies that it is extremely expensive. It is 170 centimeters tall even on all fours, and although it was not given a claw when it was first made, Rick has seen him turn a bucket into a discus.

His master named him the Giant.

Because the people who buy magical pets lack the relevant knowledge, they simply keep magical pets like cats and dogs, so this breed that should be placed in a large enclosure with wild landscaping and watched through the railing is usually kept in a small cage and then taken out for a walk from time to time.

As soon as Rick opened the door to the enclosure, the Giant Maniac pounced. Seven of the nine crafting materials of the Giant Maniac are aggressive creatures, one is extremely aggressive, and the rest is a creature that sees and eats whatever it sees and doesn't mind swallowing it alive.

The Xike sacrificial knife was unsheathed, swung from right to left, and used the wall guard to open the animal's feet, and then took a step forward to burrow under the belly of the Giant Mania, casting a concussion spell and swinging his fist.

The giant madman wailed, and was beaten by Xi Ke and flew up three meters before falling from the side. Unscathed, it lay on the ground and whined. As soon as he approached him, he rolled over and showed his belly as a sign of surrender.

Tick put a leash and muzzle on the Giant, and it became extremely tame and obediently followed Tick out.

Xi Ke reviewed the route of the walk for the evening: first take a turn in the woodland at the back, then pass the west gate, take the landscape lake, pass the atrium in front of Building A, and then return to the animal pen.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the preparation room of the Holy Shield, Serenne eats up the cuttlefish stew. As he ate, he listened to the bamboo shoots report on the process of retrieving the cuttlefish stew, and the more he listened, the more strange it became: "How could the knight of the Holy Sun be like that?"

"But he's really a knight. Bamboo shoots said. Mono has the Holy Sword.

"Occasionally, there are knights abroad who are not in the Order, and they are just assisting the wandering sword of the Holy Day. Serenne said.

The knight system varies from country to country, and not all of them are like Sarafayido, where they are forced to join if they have a holy sword. In this country, those who have a holy sword must be in the knights, so if there is a holy sword, they are called knights, and if they don't have a holy sword, they are not knights. In Nirvana, the term "knight" refers exclusively to members of the Order, not necessarily the Holy Sword. A person who has a holy sword but is not in the knights is generally nicknamed the "wandering holy sword".

"I think I have joined the group, and I can feel that kind of temperament. Bamboo shoots said.

"The Amaterashi temperament that I know means serious, dignified, and non-fussy. 」

"It's not the superficial thing, it's something deeper—" Bamboo shoots fell into deep thought.

At this time, the knight who stood guard at the gate announced, "Teru, Mono on the day of the Illumination is looking for you. 」

"Oh. 」

Bamboo shoots Tairuo stepped forward to open the door, and before he walked out, the people in the room saw a tall beauty standing outside the door, with red hair draped like a waterfall. The beautiful woman was pulling open the collar of her shirt with one hand and tucking a knight's ID card into a black lace bra.

The red-haired beauty said to Tauro, "Will you go out for a walk with me?"

"Yes. Tairuo nodded rather calmly.

The sound of talking in the room stopped all at once, and only the sound of Tauro closing the door was particularly loud.

About three minutes later, Banatu returned, and when he opened the door, he noticed that the atmosphere in the room was strange, and he looked like he had lost a battle even though he had not fought, and quickly asked, "What happened while I was away?"

One of the knights replied, "The bamboo shoots ran away with a beautiful knight on the day of the sun. 」

Hearing this, Banato's brows furrowed, "There are no female knights on the day of the Aillumina." 」

Seren's sense of identity only then did he come to his senses: "I saw her ID card, and it was written as a man. 」

"'Special Mission'. Banato scratched at his hair, "I've heard they're good at cross-dressing. 」

The atmosphere in the room changed, from lifeless to unnatural joy. Suddenly, everyone started laughing and talking loudly at an extraordinary volume.

Banato clapped his hands to stop his men from escaping reality: "Alright, guys, if one person is snatched by Galag, you should go to work. To make up for the gap of one less person, give me extra hard work!"

The knights in the room received the order one by one and began to move, and Akouer was included in the mobile group, that is, the group that had nothing to do for the time being, so he squatted next to Bannatu and was fully armed to enjoy the coolness.

When Banato finished assigning work and the commander began to cool off and wait for the situation to happen, Akoel approached Banatu and asked in a low voice with an expressionless face, "Are you glad that the bamboo shoots have been abducted?"

Bannato, who had forgotten that Akor was beside him, made a sudden sound that caused Banato to shrink his shoulders in fright, and it took him a second before he replied, "Where?"

"Last time, the partner drove away without your consent, and you had a big quarrel with the other party; Last time, the partner asked us to support manpower temporarily, and you blackmailed a sum of money before agreeing; Last time—"

"Enough, I know what you mean. Banato said, rubbing his face with his left hand. As a commander, he always considers the resources he has at his disposal his own, and hates to be taken by others and invaded his sphere of control. Although this time it was the bamboo shoots who ran away by themselves, which is not the same as someone else casually reaching out, it is not normal for Banato to have no emotions at all.

"What didn't you tell Bamboo Shoots?"

Banato turned his eyes to the side, then turned back two seconds later and asked, "What did that guy talk to you about?"

Akorl did not move, and in turn tortured Banato in the same way that Seren.

Banneru craned his neck and looked away.

Akor's is recognized as the tightest person in the group, and even makes people wonder if the words he has heard are archived in his head, so he has become the most popular confiding object in the group, and his status is almost like that of a religious mage who accepts confessions from believers in the Cult of True God.

Although the general group members think that Akoll should have heard it and forgotten it, Bannatu believes that Akoll remembers everything and is concerned about the follow-up. For example, now, Banato thinks that the bamboo shoots must have said something to Akoer, but it is impossible to ask Akoel to reveal it, and it is much faster to force the bamboo shoots to ask.

Banato pulled Akor into the cubicle, where it was just the two of them.

"I'll admit that I did deliberately freeze him lately. Banato held up his hand and said, "But it's not because I don't trust him. 」

"Tauro wants to be your deputy. Akoel said. This is a well-known thing.

"He can do it, but this position is not the best fit for him. Banatu is a commander-type talent, and he sees the talents and strength of others very clearly: "That guy's holy sword is different from ours. I guess if he had a Sanctuary and a Holy Beast, he would be 108,000 miles away from us. You're a combat talent, Seren is an all-round type, and I'm a monster sword. His holy sword is much stronger than the three of us in fine movements, and it is no problem for him to embroider the holy sword, but the power is too much worse than ours. I know him, and I know that his consciousness will not be insufficient, so the power of his holy sword will be weak, not because he can't do it, but because the ability he needs is not this. 」

Akoll nodded, indicating that he was listening.

"When he was crusading against the Night Order before, he was seriously injured at the beginning of his attack on the Oriental Academy, and he didn't participate in all the subsequent missions. Serenian and I both thought it was careless, but the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, how could his personality be careless? If he was to be poked once, he would be stabbed twice or three times. 」

Akor's nodded, "I heard you talk about that. Akor's was sent to attack the Northern Academy, not on the same battlefield.

"The person who stabbed him looked like he was young, and he didn't hesitate to stab him, and he shouted the name of the King of the Night—a devout and dangerous cult believer. In the Oriental Academy, there are a large group of such children, and they all hold powerful magic weapons in their hands. At that time, no one in the Oriental Academy surrendered to us, because those who wanted to surrender were all killed by these monsters first—those who didn't want to fight, even their companions, would be killed by them as spellcasting materials! Seren and I cut down these guys, but the bamboo shoots shouted that he couldn't do anything, and then he was stabbed.

"If he's going to be my deputy, he's going to be able to get rid of anyone under my command. I know he's willing to be like this, but I think his persistence is different from mine.

"I'm not going to turn my surroundings into a hall of words, that would be the beginning of corruption. I want him to be more thoughtful as he is, even if he will oppose me. So I wanted to reduce my influence on him and expose him to a different environment. 」

"The Day of the Illumination. Akoel said. It's a very different environment.

Banato nodded and said, "I think he's the best person among us to be the 'bridge'. 」

Akoel smiled, "Then I won't have much to do. 」

Banato frowned, scratched his hair and said, "No, it's better to have you in charge, I'm overdoing it. I'm still not mature enough, and I can't do things well. Whatever it is, just let me know if you have any opinions, I need it very much. 」
