Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 319: Future Knights

After hearing the contents of the note, Malu understood why Levi gave him this secret mission.

The Shrike was killed by Levi and him "working together". With this achievement, Levi's reputation in the Paladin Order reached its peak, and he sidelined the leader Martin. Millipede also transformed from a rookie knight into a master.

Now there is a possibility that something might go wrong in this matter, and the people who will be affected include not only Levi but also Malu.

The two of them are in the same boat, so it is reasonable for Levi to arrange him to secretly investigate the matter.

Unfortunately, Malu didn't care about the master's identity as much as Levi imagined, and Levi was quite unkind. He asked him to investigate the case but didn't let him bring the witch.

Although witches are not a necessity in the city without the threat of animated plants, knight armor is enough to deal with most enemies. If all else fails, the Knights can ask for help. Moreover, from the perspective of confidentiality, acting alone will undoubtedly make less noise.

But the millipede was still unhappy and planned to get rid of it.

But he still had to put on an act, so he randomly picked a few lucky passers-by on the street and pretended to ask them about the drinking party.

As expected, these people said they had never heard of the name.

Just when Malu was thinking that he had almost lived up to Levi's cultivation of him, he suddenly heard a voice behind him.

"Drinkers' gathering? I know, I know, it's a place where a bunch of uncles drink."

"Who said that? There are big sisters there too," another voice said, "beautiful big sisters."

"How did you tell this to others? Didn't Uncle Hal tell us not to spread this around?"

"But the other party is a Knight. The Knight represents justice, so there will definitely be no problem."

"Well, that's true..."

Malu turned around and found that they were all familiar faces. They were the group of kids he had met on the street before who were chasing him for his autograph.

Malu had let them sit on his shoulders before, but now that he had changed into new armor, those kids probably wouldn't be able to recognize him.

But the admiration in their eyes did not diminish. In fact, most boys in this city fantasized that one day they could become handsome knights, put on armor, and defend the Temple City together with the witches under their command, and defend the last civilization of mankind.

Malu turned around and said, "Do you know where the drinkers' gathering is?"

"Of course." One of the boys who looked like the leader of the children said proudly, "They are always changing places. One of our games is to find their new gathering place, hehehe."

Next to him, a little boy who was a little thinner and looked like a dog-headed military advisor also said with his hands on his hips, "Nothing that happens around here can be hidden from the eyes of our future knights."

"Not bad, not bad. You two are obviously cut out to be knights."

The millipede gave a thumbs up, and the group of children became even happier. Someone shouted, "I'll lead the way for you, Sir Knight."

Unable to refuse their kindness, Malu had no choice but to follow them to a shoemaker's shop on the next street.

Before Malu could speak, a child rushed up and knocked on the door, saying, "Uncle Hal, open the door quickly, we have brought a knight!"

"What?" A scream came from inside, followed by chaotic footsteps, accompanied by the sound of something being hit and the sound of a wine bottle breaking, but at this time a voice suddenly said.

"Why are you panicking? Today is a celebration day and you can drink."

"Oh, that's right." The others also reacted at this time, and after a while, the door was finally opened.

A man with a red face and drunkenness stuck his head out from behind the door. He glared at the group of children outside the door, then looked up at Malu.

"My Lord Knight, what are you doing in my shop? Today is a celebration day, and my friends and I had a few drinks. If you want me to make shoes for you, you'd better come tomorrow." "No, I'm here to look for someone."

"Who are you looking for?" The man became alert when he heard this.

"Do you know Goethe?"

“No… I’ve never heard of this name.” The man’s eyes dodged and he subconsciously turned his neck to look behind him. He quickly realized that something was wrong and stopped.

This poor performance left Malu speechless.

If he could act more convincingly, Malu could have taken advantage of the situation and ended the investigation. However, this guy was obviously drunk and his brain was slow to react.

In front of so many people, Malu could only say, "I want to go in and talk to Goethe."

"Uh..." Hal was still racking his brains, trying to find a reason to stop the millipede from entering the shoe store.

But the millipede had already pushed past him and walked straight in.

There were about a dozen people in the shoe store, most of them men, with red faces like Hal. The only woman was about thirty years old, with a plump figure, and was playing cards with two men.

Without exception, they all smelled of alcohol, but there was no alcohol in the house.

Malu looked around and asked, "Who is Goethe?"

No one answered.

After about half a minute, Malu nodded and said, "It's okay... I have plenty of time."

After saying that, he turned around, closed the door, pulled a chair and sat at the door.

This was a new way that Malu had thought of to slack off. On the surface, he seemed to be working hard to investigate the case at an important location, but in fact, he was just staring blankly here to kill time. When the time was up, he would call it a day.

But Malu didn't rest for too long before he heard another voice, "I am Goethe. I wonder what you want to talk to me about, Sir Knight."

The speaker was a man with thin cheeks and a wide-brimmed hat.

"No, you're not! Sit down." Malu didn't want the investigation to proceed so quickly, so he retorted directly.

A look of astonishment emerged on the man's face when he heard this. He wanted to say something else, but at this moment, the only woman in the room suddenly put down the cards in her hand and stood up.

"Since Sir Knight already knows that I am Goethe, why do you still ask me this question?"

Malu sighed, wondering if today was some kind of International Crime Investigation Day, and why so many people here were so busy turning themselves in.

Goethe continued, "I know why you are here, and I can answer your questions, but I need a promise from you."

"What promise?"

"After I confess everything, guarantee my safety and do not pursue the crimes I committed." Goethe said, "I am just a small information dealer. I don't want to get involved in the struggle between those big men."

"Okay." Malu nodded.

"Then let's go upstairs and talk." Goethe said, and took the lead to walk upstairs.

There was no ambush upstairs, which Malu could see from the chessboard map, so he followed.
