Chapter 1809 The Glory of the World to the Sun (15)
At the same time (?), somewhere in the ghetto of Edinburgh, Great Britain.
Knock, knock. The sound of knocking on the door woke Daniel up from his sleep.
"Hmm..." The young Black Iron Knight covered his head that was so painful that it was splitting. He got up from the shabby bed and walked heavily to answer the door.
As soon as he opened the door, he was a little dumbfounded, because the person who knocked on his door was none other than his colleague in the Knights of Great Britain - the Black Iron Knight Jefferson.
"Is it you...?" Daniel responded vaguely. The last time he acted with these knights was during the mission to wipe out a branch of the Starscream Thieves. After that goodbye, there had been no such formal meeting for several days.
Communicated.
"What [is it us]?" Jefferson looked at Daniel with a long face, "Do you know what time it is? Do you know that everyone in the Knights is looking for you everywhere like crazy?!"
"What?" The sleepy Daniel suddenly woke up. He turned around and looked at the shabby big clock in the house. The hour hand on the clock was pointing at the eight-character scale.
Eight o'clock in the morning! The boy of the Black Iron Knight felt cold. He had obviously promised to report back to the Knights this morning and give a detailed report on yesterday's situation! However, he did not return to his dormitory in the Eastern Sky Knights.
Instead, I came back to my hometown and overslept. Isn’t this terrible?
"I'm going to change my clothes right away--" Daniel hurriedly turned around and walked into the house: "Don't stand there, come in and sit down."
"Then I'm not welcome." Jefferson followed suit and looked at the dilapidated house as he entered. He grunted twice: "This is really abject poverty. Even the knights
It’s not as good as a dormitory.”
"Hahahahaha..." Daniel smiled perfunctorily a few times. He had already entered the room, picked up the armor that he had taken off all over the floor, and was about to put it on. He suddenly thought of something, and asked casually:
"So, what's going on over there in Neverland?"
"Nowhere?" Jefferson didn't seem to understand. "I don't know what mission you took. I'm just responsible for taking you back to Elsenburg."
"Oh..." Daniel thought that he almost leaked the secret mission of Great Britain, and quickly stopped: "That's it, it's nothing."
Over in the living room, the Black Iron Knight Jefferson was still hesitating whether to sit on the shabby and rather dirty sofa. The room was so dirty that he felt uncomfortable.
"Well...are you okay yet?" Jefferson, who was already a little restless, became impatient after waiting for a while.
"Wait a minute." Daniel then put on the armor around the waist of his trousers and was working on the buckle of the breastplate. This armor was originally modified in a hurry for Daniel, the new Black Iron Knight, and it was not very suitable for the young man's figure.
It is still a bit loose when worn, and even more difficult.
"By the way," Daniel had to wait for a long time before he could go out, so Jefferson chatted as if to pass the time: "Did you do something great yesterday? That guy Vincent is looking for you everywhere like crazy.
."
"Vincent...?" Daniel didn't realize at first that this Vincent referred to the Golden Knight Baron Vincent. He thought he was the Baron's son. The other little Vincent ------ often
The little Vincent who was picking trouble with him. So Daniel snorted slightly mockingly: "That guy Vincent seems to have successfully become the Black Iron Knight, right? What are you doing to me? Does he deserve a beating?"
"Wait, which Vincent are you talking about? Of course I mean Baron Vincent?" Black Iron Knight Jefferson looked at Daniel in confusion and emphasized: "Golden Knight Baron Vincent."
"Oh." Daniel quickly shut up and offended his superiors by talking nonsense. It would not be a joke if this kind of thing spreads out.
"Hahaha, let's see whose dark history I discovered." Jefferson seemed to understand something, so he burst into a malicious laugh: "I see, your boy has a grudge against the father and son of the Vincent family. That's great."
of."
Daniel had just finished changing his armor and looked at Jefferson with a long face.
"Vincent kept mumbling something [that guy was just lucky to find the fragment], maybe he is jealous of you?" Jefferson obviously didn't know much about the task of finding the Holy Grail fragment, but he got the gossip from other places.
: "He should be operating in the west wing of Elsenburg at the moment. After returning to the Knights, I suggest you avoid him. That's all I can say."
"Okay." The Black Iron Knight boy rinsed his mouth with water. He hadn't eaten anything since last night, but he didn't feel hungry at all. He didn't seem to need to clean his teeth properly.
"Then------" Jefferson, who seemed to have a mysophobia, was eager to leave this dilapidated and dirty house as soon as possible. Seeing that Daniel was ready to go, he ran outside the house in a few sprints.
Parked outside the house is Jefferson's cavalry, which is ready. Generally speaking, newly appointed black iron knights will not be assigned cavalry. They will only be assigned to the cavalry when they have made military exploits or are responsible for performing certain important tasks.
Only then could he be assigned a cavalry. It seems that Jefferson had not been in office for long, and his military exploits were even more unimaginable, so the cavalry he drove over to pick up and drop off Daniel must have been borrowed.
"Oh, it's brand new." Daniel looked at the shiny iron cavalry and couldn't help but said with admiration: "You borrowed a good tool."
"No, it's not brand new, it's a refurbished product that has been retired from the front line." Jefferson jumped on the cavalry and patted the back seat of the cavalry: "And this cavalry assigned to you by the Knights is not borrowed by me.
"
"What?" Daniel was a little confused: "Mine?"
"Anyway, it's because you did something terrible yesterday that the Knights treated you so well, right?" Jefferson looked jealous, "I don't care what you did. But you see, you haven't accepted it yet."
You’ve been trained to drive an iron cavalry, but you don’t know how to drive this thing, right? So I’ll be your driver for the time being. There’s no time to explain, so get in the car!”
"...I always think this sounds bad." Daniel muttered and jumped onto the iron horse.
Whoosh------The photon explosion engine of Daniel's cavalry began to operate. It was not brand new, but you could hear that its parts were well maintained and the engine was rotating smoothly at full speed, no less.
It is a brand-new product. Or, in other words, because the engine has been used for a period of time and has passed the running-in period, its performance is more stable than that of a brand-new iron bike.
"It's great. I hope I can have my own iron cavalry one day." Jefferson said sourly as he touched the metal shell of the iron cavalry as if caressing his beloved wife.
"...I'll lend it to you for fun. I don't know how to drive yet, so I need some guidance." Daniel followed Jefferson's instructions and said perfunctorily, "Speaking of which, Mr. Jefferson, how come you know how to drive an iron horse? Have you ever used it before?"
"Similar machinery has certainly been used before." Jefferson, the black iron knight, grinned and said, "Of course it is not as good as the iron cavalry used by the Knights of Great Britain."
Whoosh! The iron cavalry that took off in the air accelerated and flew out in an instant, drawing an arc of light in the air.
The distance between Edinburgh and the Eastern Sky Knights' base is not too far, and it can be reached in an instant if you use the iron cavalry as a means of transportation. However, Daniel, who was sitting behind the iron cavalry, suddenly fell into deep thought. What happened to him last night?
Walking back to his hometown from Elsenburg?
Daniel's memory was a bit fuzzy. Yesterday's battle made him extremely tired. He even felt that the miasma from the Seat of Greed was continuously eroding him in his body. This poison had not yet been completely eliminated from his body.
He only remembered that after he left the base of the Eastern Sky Knights, he walked for a while in the neighborhood and entered the forest on the outskirts. Just walking like that, he arrived home. The process of getting home was also a mystery.
"Uh-huh..." Daniel's head hurt again.
"Have you been drinking, kid? Is this a hangover?" Jefferson then asked, "What kind of alcohol do minors drink?"
"It's not like he was drunk." Daniel replied depressedly. But his head hurt so much that it made him dizzy for a while, and he didn't respond to Jefferson's feelings.
"Okay, okay." Seeing Daniel's painful look, Black Iron Knight Jefferson stopped disturbing him. "There's still a while to get to Elsenburg. You can close your eyes and sleep for a while. I'll take care of myself when we get there."
I'll wake you up."
"I'm sorry..." Daniel, whose head was still throbbing crazily, rested his head on Jefferson's back (more accurately, on the armor), closed his eyes and rested. He didn't know what kind of trouble he would have after arriving at Elsenburg.
Things are waiting for him, and he just hopes that he can cope with it. Even if there is an eventuality, he can probably use "he breathed too much miasma yesterday and feels unwell" as an excuse to at least take a day off, right?
Having said that, I wonder what has become of the situation over there in Neverland? Only he knows that Daniel defeated the Seat of Greed, and after taking away the Holy Grail fragments, the Miasmic Forest in Neverland seems to be...
No longer surrounded by miasma.
But there are other areas in Neverland. According to this logic, do other areas also have area guardians, and are there more Holy Grail fragments hidden in them?
Daniel defeated the Seat of Greed and retrieved the Holy Grail fragments without anyone watching, but he was unable to prove how powerful he was, so people like Baron Vincent said he was just lucky. What if?
If there is a chance, next time Daniel must defeat the other guardians and recover the Holy Grail fragments while his colleagues are watching. In this way, his promotion will definitely not be a problem.
(I really want to be promoted to a Silver Knight soon...)
Daniel thought in a daze.
(I really want to meet Ms. Vivian as soon as possible...and then use her connections to find the enchantress Morgose.)
(Only by doing that can Bart be saved.)
(Bart………………)
Daniel's head became heavier and heavier, and he gradually fell asleep on the back seat of the cavalry.
