Chapter 474: The Headquarters and Deputy Leader of the Patrol Knights (4/3, please vote for me)
Although it was very calm when passing through the courtyard, Ian felt a lot of prying eyes...even more than the backyard of the Marquis Barton's house, which was really a bit difficult to deal with.
——Is it the custom of the Patrol Knights that a group of people hide and peek?
"Newcomer report?"
Ian came to the workbench. The clerk in charge looked at Ian's armor and age, and immediately understood: "Who is your recommender? Has it been reviewed? Sir Knight, please give me the document first.
"
Her tone was gentle, and she obviously knew that Ian could become a patrol knight at his age. No matter how he thought about it, there was someone behind him.
"South Ridge, Port Harrison. The recommender is Viscount Grant and Marquis Barton."
Ian handed over his knightly documents, a letter of recommendation signed by the Marquis of Barton.
After handing over the documents, he asked: "Here is the secret letter entrusted to me by the Marquis of Barton to be delivered to the headquarters of the Imperial Capital Patrol Knights. Where should I deliver it?"
"Huh?"
The civil servant who originally perked up when she heard the name of the Marquis of Barton raised her head. She looked at Ian in astonishment and felt that the documents in her hands were getting hot: "This kind of secret letter should be delivered directly to the Marquis for delivery."
The person...I don't know much about this..."
She panicked because she had never dealt with such an incident.
"It was delivered to me."
A tall figure walked into the registration office of the archives room,
This is a middle-aged man who looks a little decadent. He has a resolute appearance. He is holding a helmet with a emblem in his hand. He is wearing a matte silver full-body armor. His dark blue straight hair looks very hard, and there are four streaks on his face.
Strange black metal lines passed through his eyes and the sides of his cheeks, and finally disappeared into a metal structure that wrapped the sides of his cheeks and his jaw.
"Deputy Head!"
This is a man of iron. As soon as he entered, everyone in the archives straightened their backs, stood up, and looked serious.
Ian also turned around and looked at the tall knight.
——The rightful owner has arrived.
"Stop talking nonsense, keep working, act like you've never seen me before."
The man who was called the deputy leader glanced around in front of him calmly, raised his hand, and everyone returned to their original positions and continued working.
And he lowered his head and stretched out his hand to Ian: "Barton's letter, right? It should be for me. Little guy, give me the letter."
From the corner of his eye, Ian noticed Tres standing outside the courtyard behind the deputy captain.
——So it turns out that he turned to the deputy captain? And he was able to find me immediately. Behind this deputy captain, it should be the second prince...
The young man had expected this. He nodded: "Sir, I need proof."
"prove?"
The man with long dark blue hair was stunned for a moment. He was not angry, but murmured to himself: "Prove... oh, so that's the case."
He raised his brows, the metal lines on his face shone slightly, and looked at Ian: "Barton told you that as long as the letter is brought to the imperial capital, the mission is completed. It didn't say who the recipient of the letter was, right? How dare you?
It's very courageous to lie to me and have to prove it."
"Don't dare, sir."
Ian replied seriously: "The general didn't say anything, so I need to prove it!"
"Yeah. I understand. You are indeed a good candidate that he personally allowed to pass."
At this time, the deputy captain retracted his hand. He smiled, showing his white teeth, and his tone became much softer: "I will prove it to you, and I will leave the letter with you first."
"I will let you know when I get the certificate. Then you can come and see me and give me the letter."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left neatly, with Tres following behind him.
Ian didn't even know his name, he just stared at the other person's back, his silver-blue eyes flashing thoughtfully.
——Dark Silver...The fourth energy level is high...it's a bit difficult.
——Sure enough, the true fourth energy level is already my limit. If there is no realm of soul brought by the goblins, I am afraid that this deputy leader will backfire on my observations.
"Are you coming here openly to ask for a secret message..." He breathed a tired breath, and thought to himself, now he was really vigilant: "This is a signal. It is a signal from Marquis Barton to indicate that he has chosen the power of the second prince, or maybe
This is a signal from the deputy head of the Knights of the Patrol to express his attitude."
"Am I being used as a tool to express my position? No, I guess I know that I have noticed the 'label' and tried to enter the imperial capital alone, so I chose to add weight."
"And... I'll see him again then..."
Whether it is the Marquis of Barton or the deputy leader's statement, for Ian, it is essentially the same thing.
That is, he was labeled with a broader and larger label.
This is the collective label of the Second Prince's camp.
But such a label is much more important than the Marquis of Barton alone or the Ellen family alone, which is exactly what Ian wants.
"I stand upright and openly. It seems that the internal struggle in the imperial capital is much more serious than I thought... Is Emperor Axel not doing anything?"
Looking back thoughtfully, Ian smiled and said to the receptionist: "I'm sorry for disturbing my work. What should I do next?"
"I dare not do this, Lord Knight. This is my job. Please come with me."
The effect of the label is obvious, not only that the eyes that were focused on Ian changed from curiosity and doubt at the beginning to suddenness and solemnity.
Even the attitude of the clerk in front of her changed very obviously. She took Ian to a separate soundproof cubicle: "Your name...ah, sure enough, it has been registered. Next, you will go through the procedures.
Sign so that the Imperial Capital Headquarters will leave a registered identity certificate for you..."
All the subsequent procedures were extremely smooth, and all Ian had to do was sign one after another on the documents here at the headquarters.
"Sir Knight, here is the merit form for which you have not yet received your reward. Please confirm whether it is correct."
After Ian had almost signed it, the clerk brought out another stack of paperwork. She asked politely: "If there is anything missing, please let us know."
Ian scanned the documents and found that he had started from assisting the Ellen family in exploring the Great Maze of the South China Sea, to repelling the Flying Fireland spy organization on the alchemy train. It can be said that everything related to the empire since the official activities, the above
All are recorded.
Moreover, all of them have become the result of the identity of "Inspector Knight".
——Good guy, it turns out that I have been a patrol knight for a long time, and in this capacity, I assisted Ethan and Master Gosei in exploring the Great Maze of the South China Sea... Oh, even it was revealed that the redwood natives around Harrison Port were infiltrated by Flying Flame Land agents.
This was the point that I, the Inspector Knight, was keenly aware of and stopped with a blow!
——I actually have so much credit? I can’t believe it. Is this the power of someone behind it?
Ian felt that not only was there nothing missing on the form, but there were a lot more strange achievements... He shook his head slightly and signed his name: "What can these achievements be used for? Promotion?"
"Sir, you are joking. If you have merit, you will be rewarded."
The civilian staff chuckled, obviously thinking that Ian was joking, how could he not know about this: "Our Patrol Knights have independent budgets, logistics channels and funding flows. Each knight needs to organize his own information."
The team—that’s what merit is for, my lord.”
"Potions, weapons, armor, books... the Knights never hide it from the knights."
With that said, she glanced at Ian's form and made a rough estimate: "According to Sir Knight, your achievements... are enough to award you with a badge of honor and five years of salary. You already have armor and weapons, you can also use this part
Converting it, in this way..."
Raising his head, the civilian staff said with sincerity and envy: "You can at least redeem the complete second-level potion formula, or two second-level potion materials!"
