Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Unexpected Visitor
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“A ‘returner’ has emerged from the Samay Civilian Area, and his interview performance was quite impressive, he has reached the entrance standard.”
For a while, dozens of people in the Public Security Sub-bureau were engaged in a heated discussion.
After all, the Samay Civilian Area is considered the lowest among the four major civilian areas.
Surprisingly, a ‘returner’ managed to pass the interview and is set to enter the National Royal Academy of Knights, despite the poverty, filth, and lack of proper education in the area.
Indeed, it was a big event.
It seemed that such a thing had not happened for many years recently.
Of course, during the heated debate, the two staff members who just arrested Han Dong felt a tight-fitting feeling in their heart.
The tall one asked somewhat timidly: “Charles, could it be that the one we arrested is…?”
“Impossible, that guy’s arm was as thin as a pole, there was no pressure at all when we arrested him, how could such a person be an ‘apprentice knight’?”
“Right, if such a person can become an ‘apprentice knight’… then we should be able to do it too!”
As the two comforted each other, they also inquired information from their peers.
A few days ago, the public safety personnel in charge of the Festival Square began to discuss the unusual aspects of the ‘returner’:
“I remember! Indeed, yesterday afternoon a ‘returner’ appeared in the center of the square and was immediately taken away by the Black Rose Knight for an interview…
Although he was far away, he seemed very imposing, and the sight of his departing figure was so magnificent!”
“Yes, yes, yes! I also heard that the ‘returner’ who appeared yesterday afternoon didn’t look simple from a distance… Maybe he is a civilian prodigy with innate freakish strength!”
Hearing such descriptions.
Charles, the fatty, and Brown, the tall guy, rid of their worries, the image they pictured completely did not match the young man they arrested.
After taking a moment to rest, Sheriff Dais said:
“I’ll personally go pick up this Valen Nicholas myself to the sub-bureau for related information registration and record transfer… As for the ‘escapee’ you caught, we’ll talk about it later.”
“Okay!” (They haven’t asked Han Dong’s name yet, so they don’t even know what his name is.)
The sheriff made a personal visit, which showed the status of the ‘apprentice knight’ in the civilian area.
Sheriff Dais changed into casual clothes and went to Nicholas’s residence alone.
After all, things about the ‘returner’ needs to be kept secret to some extent.
If it is known by some people with ulterior motives, the ‘returner’ who has just escaped from the Fate Space and is injured and weak might be in danger. By checking the address registered in the file, he found Nicholas’s house.
“What!! He was taken away!?”
Upon hearing Nina details what happened, Dais immediately thought of the ‘escapee’ mentioned by his subordinates.
He was furious and sweating from anxiety.
If the ‘returner’ holds a grudge, he would be in real trouble in the future.
Dais was able to become a sheriff, not because of his family background, but because he himself was a ‘returner’.
But, he was not able to pass the interview because he only passed a one-star difficulty event of Fate by sheer luck.
Even so, it was enough for him to serve as the sheriff for over ten years in the Public Security Bureau of Samay Civilian Area.
“What a bad luck, these morons not only fail but also involve the entire bureau.
In the future, I must carefully select the public safety personnel… I hope my friend Nicholas won’t be too particular about it.”
Dais personally took out five copper coins and handed them to the little girl in front of him, while bowing 90 degrees to apologize.
“Sorry, it was our mistake! This is my personal apology, and there will be a formal apology from our Public Security Sub-Bureau later.”
Nina had never seen so much money at once, and it came from the hand of the Samay Area’s manager… after getting the copper coins with a puzzled look on her face.
Then, Dais bowed his head again to apologize, and then hurried back to the sub-bureau at the fastest speed.
At this moment, the two fat and tall men in the sub-bureau were still laughing and talking about how to indulge themselves tonight.
Just as Sheriff Dais was rushing back to the sub-bureau at the fastest speed and was just about to cross the last street, a heavy metallic sound of horseshoes came from the stone road beside him.
A metallic steam black horse, with a rose badge on its chest.
A noble knight from the Black Rose Knight Squad has arrived.
Among them was Dais, and the residents around the street all bowed their heads.
“Sir Knight, is there anything I can help with? I’m the sheriff of the Samay
Civilian Area, Dais Fordland.”
“Valen Nicholas is from your area, isn’t he.”
“Yes!”
“I want some files of him since birth, I believe your Public Security Sub-bureau should have related records in the annual census.”
“Of course… please follow me, sir.”
Dais was sweating with anxiety.
This was a member of the Black Rose Knight Squad, who has graduated from the Knight Academy and had the ability to go outside the city wall and fight against Almighty Life, a high-level knight.
In terms of level, he, a sheriff of a civilian area, was nothing.
These figures are also much more powerful than ‘returners’, Dais didn’t understand why such a figure would personally act for a returner.
“Sir Knight, is there any problem with this Valen friend?”
“It’s just my personal interest, just give me the files.”
The knight was Barton Fogs who gave Han Dong a ride yesterday, he specifically came to check Han Dong’s past life before entering the Fate Space.
The moment Knight Barton stepped through the gate, the whole bureau fell silent.
“Sir Knight, please have a seat, I will have the file room staff find the relevant files for you.”
Barton looked at the sheriff in front of him who was sweating profusely, and said:
“Are you so nervous seeing me? As a sheriff, you must be a returner as well? It’s just that your own abilities are a bit lacking, just relax, I myself am from a civilian background.”
“Haha… not nervous, not nervous.”
Dais’s smile was very stiff.
The underground detention center of the sub-bureau was holding the key person everyone was focusing on, how could he not be nervous?
If this knight came to know about it, he might lose his position as a sheriff.
The only thing Dais could do was to give Barton the materials he needed, see the knight off, and then deal with the trouble caused by his foolish subordinates.
Then, use a lot of money to try and privately settle this matter with Nicholas.
However.
Just as Knight Barton had just received the relevant documents.
One after another, screams came from the underground detention center. The noise was loud and it felt like someone had been killed.
“Oops, the civilian area is still so chaotic…”
Knight Barton sighed and got up to go to the underground detention center.
Sheriff Dais, whose eyes were red with anxiety, dared not stop him.
As for Charles and Brown, who were standing next to him, they were completely unaware of the gravity of the situation.
Both of them even had security batons in their hands, pretending to look serious, they are planning to go down and suppress the suspect who has just caused trouble, and they were eager to make a serious impression in front of this knight.
When a group of people arrived at the spacious underground cell.
The situation inside shocked everyone, including Knight Barton.
Han Dong, who was frail and frequently ill, was not tormented as people predicted, but was sitting alone leaning on the wall, resting.
However, most of the other bullies in the detention center gathered in the corner opposite to Han Dong, their eyes filled with fear… and two of them were lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth..
