In the quiet room, a gentle and calm voice sounded.
Standing next to a wooden table, looking at the black card in front of him, Adil was silent for a while, then looked at Dilus and asked.
"I like to deal with smart people." A hint of appreciation flashed in Dilus' eyes.
Holding the black card in his hand, nostalgia flashed in his eyes, and he sat quietly on the bed without speaking for a long time.
On the side, Adil waited patiently, standing there quietly looking at the other person without making any noise at this time.
"In this city, many people think that I only have one child."
After a long time, Dilus spoke and sighed: "But in fact, in addition to this child, I also have another child who was born outside my home when I was young."
"Because she is a girl, an illegitimate daughter, and I don't have any talent for knighthood, so I have never told anyone else about it for so many years. I just send people to send them some financial information every few years.
So that they will not live in poverty."
"It's just that now, my other child has died, and my only remaining descendant is this illegitimate daughter."
Having said this, he paused and turned his gaze to Adil.
"So?" Adier asked in response to Dilus's gaze.
"I hope you can help me take care of her." Facing Adil's gaze, Dilu said frankly: "In half a year, I want you to protect her as much as possible."
"During this period, if something bad happens during the journey, you will take her away and settle in a remote and safe place. If there are no accidents along the way, your mission will be over in half a year."
He looked at Adil and said, "This is the only condition. As long as you agree, this certificate will be yours."
After the words fell, Adier's face was calm, as if he was thinking about the gains and losses involved.
It wasn't until a while later, under Dilus' gaze, that he finally nodded: "Deal."
As soon as the words fell, Dilus felt relieved.
He looked at Adil in front of him and nodded, then asked Kalam who was standing beside him to deliver a package.
"In addition to an invitation letter from the Malan Kingdom, here is also my personal letter of introduction and three thousand purple gold coins."
"Thank you." Adil nodded lightly, looked at Kalam walking in front of him, gently stretched out his hand, and accepted the package handed over by him.
After doing this, they didn't speak anymore. The only sound left in the place was Adil packing his things from time to time.
"Is this really good? Entrust this kind of matter to an outsider."
After a while, after Adil left, he stood next to Dilus, supporting Dilus, and Karam frowned and spoke, looking a little distrustful of Adier.
"There is nothing we can do."
In front of him, Dilus took off his clothes and shook his head helplessly: "We have no other choice."
"The entire family has been targeted. The people we know have too big targets and are too easily exposed. At that time, they may not be trustworthy."
He turned around and looked out the door, as if he could see Adil's retreating back: "After all, this doctor is the only one who is a good choice."
"He is not a member of our family, and he did not go out often during this period, so it is not easy to be targeted."
"Furthermore, his strength is quite good, and his character has not reached the point of strictly fulfilling the knight's oath during this period, but he is still decent and would not attack an ordinary girl."
Standing there, Dilus looked calm and looked out the door: "Taking all the conditions together, he is currently the best candidate."
"After all, at this point, we have no more choices."
·······················
"Although I have gained something, I always feel that I will be involved in bigger troubles."
Returning to his room and packing his luggage, Adil thought to himself.
Thinking about his previous conversation with Dilus, he couldn't help but feel this way.
Although the other party did not say it directly, he could feel the ups and downs of emotions in the other party's heart. Combined with the tragic situation of the Ellan family during this period, Adil was 70% to 80% sure that if he went to protect the other party's daughter this time, he would probably touch her.
What's the trouble?
However, the conditions offered by the other party are indeed irresistible to the current Adier.
Finding a way to enter the Imperial Academy and learn the knowledge of knights in this world was a plan that Adier had made before. Now that he had this opportunity, he naturally couldn't miss it.
After all, under normal circumstances, without the guarantee of the country's great nobles, and with Adil's status as a black man in this world, it would be a fantasy to enter a knight academy specially opened by the empire like Malan Academy, and it would be completely impossible.
After tidying up for a while, Adier lifted a medicine box in front of him and walked out.
Outside the room, a man in black clothes was already standing there. When he saw Adier walking out, he bowed slightly and gave a knightly salute to Adier: "Mr. Adier,
Have you finished cleaning up?"
"There's nothing to pack."
Looking at the man in black robes in front of him, Adier said calmly: "I have put the potion prepared for Mr. Dilus, as well as the instructions for use. You can just bring someone over to take it away later.
Already."
"I understand." The man in black nodded: "Then, Mr. Adier, please come with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked directly towards the path ahead.
Behind him, looking at his back, holding the medicine box in his hand, Adil also walked forward.
After a while, they walked further and further, and after passing through a basement, they came to a small door.
Bump...
The sound of metal colliding sounded.
Holding the key in his hand, the man in black opened the small door here, then walked aside and turned to look at Adil: "Sorry, due to some reasons, I can't leave the main entrance for the time being, so I can only leave from here."
"I understand." Adier looked calm and nodded slightly, but he was speechless: "Do you even need this kind of formation to go out?"
Even on the surface, he didn't say much, turned around and walked outside.
When you walk out of the small door, you are greeted by a long corridor.
Not long after walking here, in the distance, a bit of light gradually came, along with a low hum of insects, which Adier heard.
He walked out of the passage and looked outside again.
There was a flat grassland in front of him, and there was a long stream in the distance. The sound of flowing water kept coming from it, which made Adil stunned.
"Have you left the city already?"
Feeling everything around him, he couldn't help but turn around and look behind him.
Behind him, a huge city stood quietly, just like the one he saw when he first arrived.
·····················
Tread...tap...tap...
The sound of horse-drawn carriages could be heard from time to time on the neat road.
Sitting in a carriage, looking at the scenery on the road through the window, Adil looked calm and did not speak.
At this time, more than a month had passed since he left. During this time, the memory of the Irish family became more and more distant. However, the tokens and letters of recommendation on his body were still there, which made Adil couldn't help but rush to this city.
.
"Sir, we have arrived." A voice sounded in front of the carriage.
The driver was a middle-aged man who looked very honest. On this hot day, he was wearing a short robe and was covered in sweat. He looked very sunburned.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Slowly stepping out of the carriage and carrying his medicine box, Adil was dressed in a clean white robe and looked at the driver in front of him: "You can leave now and come and pick me up in the evening."
After giving these instructions, after a while, the driver drove the carriage away, and Adil also turned around and walked forward.
In front of him was a huge building with a magnificently restored gate.
The entire door is black and looks like it is made of some kind of metal. It looks very strong and solid. The word "Malan" is written on it in the language of this world.
This is Malan College, one of several colleges opened by the Malan Empire.
Compared with several other colleges, this college is the most famous in the Malan Empire. Because in this Malan college, there are colleges and courses specially opened for knights, and it is a high-end college that can truly train knights.
Adil was no longer unfamiliar with this place in the past few days. After walking into the gate, he directly followed the route in his memory and walked towards a huge building in the distance.
As soon as he walked into the academy, dozens of eyes around him instantly fell on Adil.
The appearance and temperament bonus brought by the blood of the Moon Elf appeared at this time. People around him, both male and female, couldn't help but fix their eyes on Adil, making him extremely eye-catching for a moment.
However, Adil has long been used to this kind of attention.
His face was calm, and his white robe did not look contaminated at all. His extremely handsome appearance looked very delicate, and he had a calm and upright temperament, which left a deep impression on the hearts of those around him.
After walking on the road for a short time, he came to a tall building.
"Mr. Adier, your admission application has been successfully processed."
In the spacious room, in front of the counter, a blond woman wearing a black skirt had a smile on her face, and she brought a round black sign to Adil: "This is your voucher, please keep it.
"
"In addition, the annual tuition fee of the college is fifty purple gold coins. Please pay it within the limited time."
Looking at Adil, she added: "There is a course schedule here. If you need to fill in other paid courses, you can choose it directly here and we will arrange the time."
While talking, he handed Adil a course schedule.
Taking the course schedule from the other party, Adil looked up.
On the course schedule, the name of each course and the required fees are quietly stated on it, along with a general introduction, including the instructors and other information.
As for the specific courses, they can be described as diverse, including orthodox knight courses such as swordsmanship and archery, as well as other courses such as perfume, flower art, and medical skills.
Some of these courses are free, and some are paid. However, except for a few courses, the cost of most of the other courses is only one or two purple gold coins. Compared with Adier's tuition, it is relatively small.
Extremely cheap.
Of course, this is actually a question of comparison.
The academy that Adier signed up for is the most important knight academy in Malan Academy, and the fees are naturally much higher than other academies.
In fact, if you just want to learn some ordinary courses instead of learning knight courses, you don't even need a letter of recommendation from a nobleman, you can just pay enough money to enter.
Looking at the course schedule in front of him, Adil glanced at it, then randomly selected a few courses on it, and then returned it to the blond woman in front of him.
After doing this and paying the required fees, Adil turned around and left in the direction he came from.
Bump...bang...
The sound of slight footsteps came from far away.
In Adil's sight, a girl walked towards here.
The girl was wearing a red robe, her long, silky hair was well combed and carefully tied up with red thread. Her delicate and beautiful face looked a little indifferent, and she was walking towards Adier.
Seeing Adil, a trace of surprise flashed across the girl's face, and then she returned to normal. Her face seemed expressionless, and she passed by Adil.
"Almost no weaker than Dilus."
Passing by the girl and feeling the aura coming from her body, Adil couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart.
His face was calm, looking no different from before, and he walked forward directly.
