Chris and Joelman hung out until about nine o'clock in the evening, and then went back.
After washing, go to bed early.
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the window, Chris woke up.
"Good morning, Mr. Chris." Joelman brought breakfast, a glass of milk and two slices of bread,
Chris smiled and responded: "Morning."
Joelman said: "The captain said that after you finish eating, go over to him and he will take you to see the deputy captain."
"Okay." Chris picked up the bread, dipped it in the milk, and put it in his mouth.
The taste is very average and has no special characteristics, just like the taste produced in small countries.
Chris now misses the jam produced at home, but unfortunately it is not sold to the Empire of Light.
After Joelman put down his breakfast, he left.
······
Chris had no appetite, so he ate a few bites casually, and then went out to find Jeffrey.
Jeffrey looked a little surprised: "Hey, Chris, you came so fast?"
"Well, take me to your deputy captain."
"Please come with me."
According to Jeffrey, there are six embassy missions under the Holy Knights, and each mission has its own office area.
The two of them turned around and entered a four-story building.
They climbed up to the third floor and came to the door on the left. There was a sign hanging on the top that read: "Deputy Commander Powell's Room."
Jeffrey knocked lightly on the door three times.
"Please come in." An old voice came from inside.
The two opened the door and walked in.
The room is about fifty square meters and the furnishings are very simple.
There is a gray round table placed against the wall in front. Behind the round table sits an old man with gray hair, his face is covered with wrinkles, and he is wearing a set of old-fashioned armor, which is slightly shabby.
The old man exuded a touch of coercion, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
In front of him, there were three jet black animal skin sofas, which had been wiped very clean.
Chris didn't expect that the deputy leader of the dignified Holy Knights, a ninth-level low-level strongman, would be so poorly dressed.
If placed among low-level knights without titles, they would look very inconspicuous.
Powell showed a kind smile and said: "Please sit down."
Chris and Jeffrey sat carefully on the animal skin sofa, close to each other.
"I already know your reason for coming." Powell said straight to the point, "Can you tell me how you discovered the traces of the Black Dragon Palace?"
This question is very important, related to the authenticity of the incident and whether the young man in front of me is worthy of being a newcomer.
Chris did not hide anything, he told the truth directly: "I saw it with my own eyes. I have a warning tree that can fly in the sky. I originally wanted to see what was at the end of the sea, but I saw a certain event being held on Crescent Island.
A black magician who performs rituals."
Originally, Chris didn't want to expose the god-level warning tree. He thought of several reasons on the way here, such as accidentally bumping into it while exploring overseas, or his own merchant ship passing by Crescent Island and accidentally discovering the trace.
But these cannot withstand scrutiny and can easily be seen through.
Moreover, he has caused such a big commotion in the northwest of the mainland, and he can learn about the Blazing Dragon Kingdom with a little inquiry.
Therefore, lying will only make the other party suspicious, so it is better to tell the truth.
Jeffrey was the first to ask, "Why haven't I heard of a variety of warning trees that can fly in the sky?"
Chris rolled his eyes at him and said, "Can't you just carve a floating magic circle into the ground under the tree roots?"
Jeffrey wanted to refute again, but Powell raised his hand to interrupt.
The deputy captain knew that raising the warning tree into the air would not be possible with a simple floating circle, but now was not the time to dwell on this.
Powell looked at Chris and said, "Tell me, what did you see with the warning tree?"
"OK."
So, Chris described what he saw that day in as much detail as possible.
Powell and Jeffrey listened quietly, and no one said anything.
Both of them looked surprised because what they heard was completely unheard of.
"Okay, that's all." Chris talked endlessly all morning, and his mouth was dry.
In addition to describing what he saw, there are also some speculations discussed with Andulu.
Jeffrey froze on the spot, unable to recover for a long time.
Powell held his chin with his right hand, frowned, and looked very heavy.
Chris leaned back and lay down on the sofa, giving the two of them time to digest the information.
After a while, Powell said: "You suspected that there was a secret base of the Black Dragon Palace inside Crescent Island, so you came all the way to pass the news to us so that we could attack it, right?"
"I'm just here to deliver the news. As for whether you want to go or not, it's up to you." Although Chris did think so, he didn't want to be labeled.
What if the attempt was in vain and there was nothing in Crescent Island, and all the efforts were in vain, then whose responsibility is it?
Powell pondered and said no more.
The whole room became very quiet and you could hear a pin drop.
"I've brought the news, let's go back first." Chris stood up and prepared to leave.
Being here will affect their discussion, so it's better to leave first.
"Walk slowly." Powell was very polite, without the airs of a deputy captain or a ninth-level warrior.
After Chris left, they were the only two people left in the room.
Powell raised his hand to release his surging fighting spirit and soundproofed the room.
In this way, even if people outside put their ears to the door, they cannot hear their conversation.
Powell asked: "What do you think about this?"
Jeffrey smiled bitterly and said: "Based on what I know about Chris these days, I don't think he is a liar, but the incident he described is really incredible."
"What we have to think about now is not the authenticity of this matter." Powell said seriously, "but whether this is a trap designed by the Black Dragon Palace. When we take people there, we will be attacked by a large number of enemy troops.
ambush."
"Do you suspect that Chris is a bait sent by the Black Dragon Palace?" Jeffrey looked surprised.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
"I think it's unlikely." Jeffrey said solemnly, "Chris defeated Moulton head-on yesterday. If he is from the Black Dragon Palace, he will definitely be well protected with his talent and become a palace official in the future.
The successor of the Lord, instead of letting him risk entering the royal capital of the Empire of Light."
Powell said: "So, I need to know all his information before I decide whether to send troops to Crescent Island."
