  Chapter 476 Inspecting the headquarters and deputy head of the Knights (43, ask for a monthly ticket~)

  Although it was very calm when passing through the courtyard, Ian felt a lot of prying eyes...the number was even more than the backyard of the Marquis of Barton's house. It was a bit difficult to be true.

  —Is it the custom of the Patrolling Knights to hide and peep?

   "Newcomer report?"

When Ian came to the workbench, the civil servant in charge looked at Ian's armor and age, and immediately understood: "Who is your recommender? Have you passed the examination? Sir Knight, please give me the documents first. "

  Her tone is gentle, and she obviously knows that Ian can become a patrol knight at this age, no matter how he thinks, there are people behind him.

   "South Ridge, Port Harrison. The recommender is Viscount Grant, Marquess of Barton."

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

  After handing over the document, he asked: "Here is the secret letter that the Marquis of Barton entrusted me to deliver to the headquarters of the Knights of the Imperial Capital. Where should I deliver it?"

"what?"

The civil servant who had been mentally lifted 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 getting hot: "This secret letter should be delivered directly to the Marquis. people... this, I don't know..."

  She panicked, because she never dealt with this kind of incident on weekdays.

   "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 bit decadent. He has a resolute appearance, holding a helmet with an emblem in his hand, and wearing a dumb silver full-body armor. His dark blue straight hair looks very hard, and there are four strips on his face. Strange black metal lines passed through his eyes and the sides of his cheeks, and finally disappeared into a layer of metal structure covering the sides of his cheeks and jaw.

"Deputy Head!"

   This is a man of iron. As soon as he entered, everyone in the file room straightened their backs, stood up, and looked serious.

  Ian also turned around and looked at the tall knight.

  —The Lord has come.

   "Stop talking nonsense, keep working, and act like you haven't seen me before."

  The man who was called the deputy head glanced around indifferently, he raised his hand, and everyone returned to their original positions and continued to work.

  And he lowered his head and reached out his hand to Ian: "Isn't it Barton's letter? It should be for me. Little guy, give me the letter."

   Out of the corner of Ian's eyes, Ian noticed Tres standing outside the courtyard behind the deputy head.

  —So it turned out that he was going to the deputy head? And to be able to find me in the first time, the second prince should be behind this deputy head...

  The boy had expected this a long time ago, he nodded: "Sir, I need proof."

"prove?"

  The man with dark blue long hair froze for a moment, he was not angry, but muttered to himself: "Prove... oh, so that's the case."

He raised his eyebrows, the metal lines on his face shone slightly, and looked at Ian: "Baton told you that as long as the letter is brought to the imperial capital, the task is completed, and he didn't say who the recipient is, right? How dare you Lie to me to prove it, you are really brave."

   "Don't dare, sir."

  Ian replied seriously: "It's the general who didn't say anything, so I need to prove it!"

   "Yes. I understand, you are indeed a good seed that he personally allowed to pass."

   Now, the deputy head retracted his hand instead. He smiled, showing his white teeth, and his tone softened a lot: "I will prove it to you, and I will deposit the letter with you first."

   "I will let you know when I get the certificate, and then you can come to see me and give the letter to me."

  After speaking, he simply turned around and left, and Tres followed behind the other party.

  Ian didn't even know his name, he just stared at the other person's back, his silver-blue eyes flickered, thoughtful.

  —dark silver...the fourth energy level is high...somewhat difficult.

  —Sure enough, the real fourth energy level is already my limit. If there is no Soul Realm brought by the goblin, I am afraid that the deputy head will make my observation backlash.

"Are you here aboveboard to ask for a secret letter..." Panting wearily, he thought to himself, and now he is really vigilant: "This is a signal. It is a signal from the Marquis of Barton that he has chosen the power of the second prince, or This is a signal of attitude from the deputy head of the Patrol Knights."

   "Have I been used as a tool to express my opinion? No, I guess I know that I have noticed the 'label' and tried to enter the imperial capital alone, so I chose to increase the weight."

   "And... see him when the time comes..."

  Whether it is the Marquis of Barton or the deputy head, it is essentially one thing for Ian.

   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 or the Ellen family alone, and it is exactly what Ian wants.

   "Stand up and stand upright. It seems that the struggle within the imperial capital is much more serious than I imagined... Is Emperor Axel not doing anything?"

   Turning his head thoughtfully, Ian smiled and said to the reception staff: "Sorry for interrupting work. What should I do next?"

   "Don't dare to be, Lord Knight, I should work. Please follow me."

  The effect of the label is obvious, not only that the gaze on Ian has changed from curiosity and doubt at the beginning to suddenness and solemnity.

Even the attitude of the civil servant in front of her has changed very obviously. She took Ian to a separate soundproof cubicle: "Your name...ah, sure enough, it has been registered. The next thing is for you to sign here , so that the Imperial Capital Headquarters will leave you with a registered identity certificate..."

  All the subsequent procedures were very smooth, and what Ian had to do was to sign one by one on the documents here at the headquarters.

   "Master Knight, here is the merit form for which you have not yet received payment, please confirm whether it is correct."

  After Ian’s signature was almost complete, the clerk brought another stack of documents, and she asked politely, "If there is anything missing, please let us know."

Ian glanced at the documents and found that he started from assisting the Ellen family in exploring the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea, all the way to repelling the Feiyan spy organization on the alchemy train. There are records.

   Moreover, all of them have become the credit of the identity of 'Patrolling Knight'.

- Good guy, it turns out that I have been a patrolling knight for a long time, and in this capacity, I assisted Ethan and Master Gosser to explore the South China Sea Labyrinth... Hey, even exposing the fact that the Sequoia aborigines around Harrison Port were infiltrated by Flame agents, It was also me, the inspector knight, who was keenly aware of it and stopped it with a blow!

  —I have so many credits? I can't think of it. Is this the power of someone behind it?

  Ian felt that not only was there nothing missing on the form, but a lot of strange credits were added... He shook his head slightly, and still signed his name: "What can these credits do? Are you promoted?"

   "My lord, you are joking. If you have merit, you can get rewards."

The clerk chuckled, obviously thinking that Ian was joking, how could he not know about it: "Our Patrol Knights have an independent budget, logistics channels and capital flow, and every knight needs to form a That's what the squad-merit is for, my lord."

   "Potions, weapons, armor, tomes... The Knights never hide from the knights."

Saying so, she glanced at Ian's form, and made a rough estimate: "According to your merits, Lord Knight... it is enough to award the badge of honor and make up for five years of salary. You already have armor and weapons, and you can also convert this part , so..."

   Lifting his head, the civil staff sincerely envied: "You can at least exchange for a complete second-level potion formula, or two second-level potion materials!"
