Chapter 476 The Headquarters and Deputy Leader of the Patrol Knights (43, 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.

——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, Marquis of Barton."

Ian handed over his knight's document, a letter of recommendation signed by the Marquis of Barton.

After handing over the documents, he asked: "Here is the secret letter entrusted by Marquis 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 heating up: "This kind of secret letter should be delivered directly to the Marquis." People...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. He 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 turned out that it was this deputy leader that he turned to? And he was able to find me as soon as possible. The person behind the deputy captain must 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!"

"Yes. 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 come and see me and give me the letter."

After 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.

——As expected, the true fourth energy level is already my limit. If it weren't for the Soul Realm brought by the fairies, I'm afraid this deputy captain would have backfired on my observations.

"Are you coming here openly to ask for a secret message..." He breathed tiredly, and thought to himself, now he was really alert: "This is a signal. It is a signal for Marquis Barton to show 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 knew that I had 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 was the Marquis of Barton or the deputy commander expressing their views, for Ian, it was 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.

"Speak openly 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: "Sorry for disturbing the 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 you a registered identity certificate..."

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, and she asked politely: "If there is anything missing, please let us know."

Ian glanced at 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 to explore the Great Labyrinth 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? Unbelievable. 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?"

"My lord, 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 grant you a badge of honor and five years of salary. You already have armor and weapons, you can also use this part Calculated, 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!"
