Chapter 1227 Rest and Reconciliation in Silent Night (4)
In the restaurant on the west side of the Eastern Sky Knights base, the children had just found a seat to sit down when Huskey looked around curiously and asked: "Hey, why didn't Brother Daniel come over?"
"He has his own official business to attend to, so of course he can't follow us all the time." The evil star deceived him smoothly.
"Oh---" Husky seemed to notice something from Uncle Evil Star's expression.
"Forget that. What do you want to eat? The strawberry cake here is delicious. Do you want to try it?" Juliet asked with a smile.
"Okay, Hal wants to eat strawberry cake, meow!" The leopard boy also agreed with a smile.
"Husky wants to eat chocolate-flavored ice cream, it's super sweet!" the dog boy said, wagging his tail.
"Huhu, okay, wait a minute." The girl smiled and walked away, busy ordering food.
"Uncle Evil Star doesn't eat cats?" Hal looked at Xinghui Dragon with his big watery eyes.
"I don't like sweets." Xing Huilong was thinking about other things, a little absent-minded: "And I'm not as greedy as you two brats."
"Hey, Uncle Evil Star is afraid of tooth decay." Husky said with a mischievous smile: "It doesn't matter, as long as you brush your teeth well every morning and night, there will be no tooth decay!"
The evil star then grinned at Husky like a mischief, revealing a row of white teeth: "There are generally 372 teeth in a dragon's mouth, and each one is as huge as one of you. What do you think I should do?"
What is better to use to brush your teeth?"
"Uh, don't make fun of Husky!" The dog boy laughed happily and got behind Hal, pretending to hide.
"Don't worry, with your small bodies, you can't even pick my teeth." Xinghui Long said with a cruel smile.
The faces of the two teenagers changed drastically: "Uncle Evil Star is so scary! (Meow)!"
"Chirp!~" Balloon Fish Pochi ran out of the iron tube around Hal's waist and shouted in protest at the evil star.
"Wow!~~This is a balloon fish?! So cute!!" Juliet came back with the children's desserts and screamed when she saw Porky. Then they started playing with the pet fish together, making Porky laugh.
You have to circle around everyone quickly.
"So I can't stand women and children..." Faced with the playfulness of the little devils, Xinghuilong could only cover his forehead and muttered.
Husky ate his ice cream quickly while playing around, then suddenly jumped up from the chair and covered his stomach and shouted: "Ouch! My stomach hurts so much!"
"Little fool, who told you to eat in such a hurry------turn left when leaving the bathroom." Juliet covered her mouth and smiled.
"Ouch ouch ouch ouch------" Husky covered his butt and ran out in a hurry.
Of course, this is all just acting. The dog-man boy ran into the bathroom and walked around in a circle before coming out.
Taking advantage of the fact that he was not being watched by adults, he took a careful sniff.
"Brother Daniel..." The dog-man boy glanced into the distance worriedly, and immediately followed the smell and ran towards the end of the corridor.
About ten minutes ago, Daniel, led by Knight Pariston, arrived in front of the cryo-sleep laboratory of the Eastern Sky Knights.
As soon as the door was pushed open, a chill hit his face, making the young knight apprentice shiver.
Under the soft, almost dim light, twenty cryo-sleep chambers are neatly arranged in the ice-shrouded laboratory, about half of which are already occupied by volunteers.
Since the technology of cryo-sleep chamber is still in the stage of small-scale clinical trials, not many people use this equipment, and the possible side effects it may bring are not yet clear, so there are certain risks in its use. The anxious Daniel did not have any
Considering these possible risks, he just wanted to jump into the cryo chamber as soon as possible, get a full sleep, and wake up at night to hunt nightmares. If he succeeded, he would be approved for promotion by the Knights, and he would be able to mobilize funds immediately to operate on his mother.
.
"Yours is cabin No. 7." The knight said without emotion: "Take off your coat and lie down in it."
"Understood." Before the glass cover of the cryogenic chamber was opened, Daniel had already quickly taken off his coat, leaving only a pair of underpants to prepare. He lay down in the cryogenic chamber and was stung by the bone-chilling cold air.
Shivering.
"This is a clinical trial disclaimer, please sign here." Knight Paris handed over a document.
"Okay." Daniel signed without even looking at it. At the same time, he asked worriedly: "This...does it really work?"
"There is sufficient medical research to prove that people can recover more energy from deep sleep under cold conditions. But this is only a mental recovery, and physical recovery is difficult to guarantee."
"That's enough." Daniel muttered to himself, and found a comfortable position to lie down in the cryogenic chamber.
"Then, please have a sweet dream." Pariston agreed and pressed a button on the control panel next to the freezing chamber. The glass cover of the freezing chamber immediately closed, completely trapping Daniel in the slightly cylindrical chamber.
In the glass cabin, ice mist surged from all directions in the freezing cabin, making the young trainee knight a little scared. But he didn't even have the time to struggle, his body was seized by the rapidly spreading cold, and his eyelids looked more like
He suddenly buckled it down like a lead, and could no longer lift it up. He fell into a deep sleep within a few seconds.
Regarding the efficacy of this cryo-sleep chamber, the ever-smart Juliet Rutherford made a miscalculation.
Yes, this cryo-sleep therapy can indeed quickly restore energy, which has been fully verified in many clinical experiments.
But that's for adults in their right minds.
For teenagers like Daniel, whose minds have not yet fully developed, the sudden coldness and forced sleep will only bring uneasiness and panic, and the panic before falling asleep will bring ------
Nightmare (nightmare).
While sleeping, Daniel began to be tortured by dreams and fell into a cold and dark hallucination.
At first it was just longing.
My father is a knight, a very powerful knight.
My father went out on patrol to eliminate violence and protect the country. He was a hero.
This idea has been rooted in Daniel's heart since he was a child, so he hopes that one day he can become a knight and a hero like his father.
------Until the day when the dream is completely destroyed by the cruel reality.
"Dad...isn't he coming back?" The child looked at his mother and asked curiously.
The woman put down the letter with a haggard look on her face. Despite this, she tried her best to pretend that nothing had happened, and gently advised the six-year-old child: "My dear, your father is going to a very far away place."
During the mission, he may never be able to come back to visit us again. But you have to remember that your father gave everything for this country. The sacrifices he made were all for the people of Pantuolaken--and for us--
--Be able to live and work in peace and contentment. Your father is a hero. Even if he can never come back to take care of us, you must respect him."
"Yeah!" The child nodded laboriously, believing everything his mother said was true.
In fact this is not the case.
Time continued to pass, and the child grew up to be a teenager, and he naturally joined the Knights of Great Britain. When he asked if there was a knight named Yang in the Knights, no one in the Knights remembered this person.
The fact is that his father, Black Iron Knight Dan Yang, was just a low-level patrolman.
He accidentally encountered a bandit during a patrol mission a few years ago and was killed in the battle. At that time, the knight Yang was just a little-known bronze knight (apprentice knight). He was over thirty but did nothing and was unable to be promoted.
He was a Black Iron Knight (regular knight) until he died in the line of duty and was reluctantly posthumously named a Black Iron Knight.
The fate of the little man was extremely bleak. Even if he was posthumously made a regular knight, the pension received by Knight Yang's family was only enough to bury him.
The fact is that the idea that his father was a hero is just an out-and-out lie.
The fact is that Daniel's father is not only not a hero, but also a loser, the kind of mediocre person who doesn't feel any pity at all when he is casually treated as an abandoned son.
Baron Vincent, the black iron knight who commanded the patrol at the time, asked Daniel's father to sprint at the front of the team to attract the firepower of the bandit army. However, the idiot regarded this as an opportunity to make a meritorious deed and rushed too far. As a result,
, his heavy and outdated armor could not stop the bandits' spears at all. The sharp spears penetrated the worn armor effortlessly and stabbed directly into Knight Yang's heart. As a result, this mediocre man died.
life.
------At least, this is what is recorded in the old files of the Northern Knights.
There was no honor in Knight Dan Yang's death. He was just a reckless man who refused to obey orders and took the initiative to die.
Daniel collapsed the moment he read the file. The father he had longed for since childhood turned out to be just a nobody.
His father was no hero at all.
The chase was just a lie, but the dream must continue. His mother's physical condition was deteriorating, and the apprentice knight boy could only rely on ten times the efforts of ordinary people to get promoted as much as possible so that his mother could live a good life.
However, can this dream really come true?
"It's that kid again..." The mentors responsible for training young knights would occasionally have discussions, and Daniel, who was hiding in a corner of the castle and working hard on chores, would occasionally hear the mentors' discussions.
"Obviously, he is unable to use magic due to physical problems. His reaction is still so slow, his IQ is average, and his physique is even worse than that of people of the same age. All physical data are only up to standard."
"What a headache. Can this kind of guy really succeed?"
------Can this kind of guy really succeed?
Over and over again, that was the question he kept hearing. That kind of doubt stung his nerves, poisoned his mind, and constantly destroyed his self-confidence. The trainee knights in the same period also kept asking
He distanced himself from him and believed that Daniel was a hopeless loser.
However, he has no way out. Even if he puts in more than ten times the effort of ordinary people, there is still no result. Even if the future is bleak, he must bite the bullet and persevere in order to allow his seriously ill mother to live a good life.
As a result, we have reached this point.
Lying in this cold and dark glass cabin, making a last struggle to fight against fate.
The invisible weight choked him out of breath in the nightmare.
Help------
In his deep sleep, he shouted silently, but no one could hear him.
