This knight is too perfect

Chapter 31 Fergus's Choice

Chapter 31 Fergus's Choice
Late at night, in a magnificent mansion in the wealthy area of ​​Thorn Town.

Snapped!
Garcia, the town mayor and sheriff, angrily smashed the valuable vase in his hand.

Then he looked back and asked grimly, "Didn't you say there wouldn't be any accidents? Then why did Fergus and Ron suddenly come to the town and rush to the tavern in the slum with a clear purpose?"

"Diaz, you said with your own mouth that you would take care of everything in the castle, but what happened? In the end, you didn't take care of anything!"

The castle's butler Diaz walked out of the shadows and came to Garcia.

Although Garcia was as angry as a beast ready to eat anyone at any time, Diaz was not afraid at all.

He looked at Garcia expressionlessly and said calmly, "I can indeed handle everything in the castle and ensure that no one will notice the changes in the territory before the Baron returns."

"But the master and servant from Akkad disrupted my plans, so that I couldn't act freely most of the time and had to be as careful as possible."

"Master and servant of Arkad?"

Garcia was stunned at first, and then said with an unpleasant expression: "A master and servant from Akkad, why didn't you tell me such an important thing in advance!"

"It would be fine if they didn't find anything, but if they came to the castle after having already discovered something, how can we proceed with our next plan?"

"Can you guarantee that what we do will not be passed on to the royal family through their mouths?"

"And once the royal family knows that you and I have joined the Holy Communion, everything will be over. Do you understand? It's all over!"

Seeing Garcia, who was obviously a little confused, Diaz comforted him, "Don't worry, the master and servant of Akkad will not affect us."

"After all, this is Morton, not their Akkad."

"As long as we are careful enough, everything will still be Morton's internal affairs, and it will not be the turn of Akkad to interfere."

"so……"

Diaz came to Garcia and whispered, "...Relax, Garcia. Although there was a small accident at the moment, everything is still going as planned."

"So as long as you stay calm and do as we say, Baron Angelo will never be able to return to the castle."

"Then the title of Baron of Thorns will soon fall on you, the only blood relative of Baron Angelo."

"Is this true?"

"It's true."

After getting Diaz's assurance, Garcia's originally nervous mood gradually calmed down.

Even a hint of longing appeared on his face.

It seems that he has already begun to fantasize about the good days of becoming the next 'Baron of Thorns'.

What Garcia didn't notice was that when Butler Diaz in the shadows saw his appearance, he immediately showed a meaningful expression.

Because at this moment, Garcia perfectly interpreted what greed is and what human...bad nature is.

Diaz took advantage of this and made things go the way he wanted.

The next day, in the Baron Castle, in Lilitha's guest room.

"Please come in."

Rhine pushed the door and walked into the guest room, and unexpectedly discovered that there were other people in the room besides Lilitha and Jet, a mysterious master and servant from Akkad.

Fergus and Ron, the only extraordinary people in the castle, also appeared in the guest room at this time.

This made Rhine feel strange, and he also instinctively felt that a storm was about to come.

After all, he, Fergus, and Ron had just destroyed a soul stealer's lair yesterday.

Today, Fergus and Ron came together to meet Lilitha and her servant.

This was definitely not a simple visit. Fergus and Ron must have something they wanted to discuss with Lilitha and the others.

There was just one thing Rhine didn't understand.

That is, with four veteran extraordinary people already present, is there anything else that requires the participation of a newcomer to the extraordinary world like him?

Perhaps seeing the doubt in Rhine's heart, Fergus immediately waved to him and said with a smile: "Rhine, come and sit next to me. Don't be nervous. We were just talking about you."

Rhine nodded and sat in the empty seat next to Fergus.

As Rhine sat down, Fergus sorted out his thoughts and told him the purpose of calling him over.

"Rhine, we just discussed with Miss Lilysa the current situation in the castle and Thorn Town."

"And the conclusion we finally came to is that we suspect Garcia can't wait for the Baron to die of old age and then inherit the Baron's title."

“He wanted to speed up the process, even resorting to the help of the Holy Communion.”

Rhine was stunned, and then his brain started to work rapidly.

Soon, Rhine analyzed the results.

There is no doubt that what Fergus said is indeed the most likely and most consistent truth of the current situation.

And so...

"Teacher Fergus, do you mean... that the Baron is in danger?"

Fergus nodded, and then said seriously: "Yes, Rhine, the Baron is in danger, and it is not an ordinary danger."

"After all, although the Baron is old and not as strong as before, he is still the strongest among the bronze rank."

"Not to mention that before the Baron left, he took away his own cavalry regiment."

"And within this cavalry regiment, there is also an extraordinary knight of the Black Iron Rank."

"And it is not easy to kill the Baron under such circumstances."

"So we suspect that Garcia's plan is to trick the Baron into the town, use a large number of soul stealers to contain the Baron's Thorn Cavalry, and have the people of the Holy Communion take action to kill the Baron directly."

Rhine frowned because he found that this plan was indeed highly feasible.

However, Rhine immediately discovered the flaw in this plan and pointed it out directly.

"Then why didn't we send someone to tell the Baron in advance?"

Fergus immediately looked at the others and laughed, saying, "See, I told you that Rhine is very perceptive. He will definitely be able to grasp the key to the problem right away and come up with a solution."

Faced with Fergus's hearty laughter, the others strangely did not laugh along with him, but just looked at him with complicated eyes.

This even included Fergus's best friend, Ron. But Fergus seemed not to notice these, and continued nonchalantly: "Yes, Rhine, the solution you mentioned is also the solution we just discussed, which is to send someone to tell the Baron what happened here in advance."

"As long as the Baron knows all this in advance, he will have many ways to solve it."

"After all, the Baron is an old knight who experienced the Battle of Moonstone a hundred years ago. Garcia's little trick is nothing to him."

"But what we can think of, Garcia and the Holy Communion behind him can definitely think of it."

"So I guess that right now, he must have spies all over the Thorn Territory, and he may even have arranged many soul stealers for this purpose."

"Whether it's me and Ron, or Miss Lilysa and Mr. Jeter next to us, we must have been the focus of Garcia's attention at this moment."

"So the person who is going to deliver the message cannot be us, or in other words, the person who is actually going to deliver the message cannot be us."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Rhine nodded, indicating that he understood Fergus's meaning, and silently accepted the arrangement.

Because the person who was sent to actually inform the Baron was him.

Looking at Rhine who had a calm face and silently accepted this 'dangerous mission'.

Fergus suddenly touched his head and said softly, "Don't worry, Rhine. This matter is not too dangerous for you, because we will do everything we can to make your extraordinary source essence reach the normal black iron level before you set off."

"Besides, you are not the only one leaving the castle this time. Miss Lilysa and Mr. Jeter will also go out with you."

"They'll help you draw most of the attention from the Holy Communion, and you just have to be careful about Garcia's men."

"So, don't worry, Rhine. I believe you can handle this matter and get Thorn Territory... back on track."

"Okay, Rhine, I've said everything I need to say. Now you should go back and have a good rest. After all, I still have some things to discuss with others, and you, a child, don't have to worry about these things, because they are matters between adults."

"……Yes."

Rhine nodded, and after standing up, he looked at Fergus deeply, and then left the room silently.

Shortly after Rhine left, Ron couldn't help but speak.

"No, old man, are you sure you don't want to come with us?"

"You should be very clear about the character of the guys in the Holy Communion. Once they find out that the truth has been revealed, the entire Thorn Town and the Baron Castle will inevitably become the venue for them to hold the 'Holy Communion'."

"If you stay here, you will definitely become their primary target of attack."

"Unless you are sure you can hold out until the Baron and his cavalry arrive, otherwise..."

"What else? Otherwise, do they want to put me on the table as well?"

Fergus interrupted Ron before he could finish his words.

Then Fergus stood up and walked to the balcony of the room alone, looking at Rhine who had already gone to the training ground below.

Fergus didn't turn around until Rhine entered the training ground.

"Ron, I have made two wrong decisions, and I regret them all the time."

"Since I have made the mistake twice, I cannot make it a third time."

"Yes, if I leave too, then I will indeed be fine, but what about the others?"

“What about the maids, militiamen, slaves in the castle, and ordinary people who are still alive in the town?”

"So Ron, I can't leave, at least not now."

"I want to give Garcia and those hungry monsters in the Eucharist hope, hope that if they continue to be patient, they may be able to have a grand dinner."

"Because only in this way can they restrain their desires and temporarily give up eating these 'little desserts' that ordinary people have."

"Besides, as long as you move fast enough so that Garcia and the others can't react, then I may not be as dangerous as you say, right?"

Ron opened his mouth, then closed it again.

Because he had seen determination in Fergus's eyes.

At this moment, Fergus was unwavering in the decision he had made and would not waver.

Because this is his choice, the choice in his deepest heart.

Perhaps not wanting to continue discussing this topic, Fergus immediately changed the subject and said, "Well, we have discussed enough about this plan, so there is no need to discuss it further."

"I've inquired about it. In two days it will be Rhine's birthday. Although this is my first time teaching someone, my students are so outstanding, so as a teacher I can't help but express my appreciation."

"So everyone, I'll be leaving now."

With that, Fergus stood up and prepared to leave.

But just as he reached the door, Butler Jet called him.

"Sir Fergus, please forgive my arrogance towards you. Although your strength is not the strongest among all the knights I have seen, you are the one with the most chivalrous spirit among all the knights I have seen. You are a true knight."

"So I am here to express my highest respect to you."

Fergus smiled and waved his hand in response to Jeter's sudden salute.

Then he looked at everyone in the room, his expression as cheerful as ever, as if he was not the one who was about to face the storm alone.

"What real knight? I'm just tired and don't want to run anymore."

"Okay, I won't say any more. I'm going to ask the maids to prepare the cake. I think Rhine will be very happy with my arrangement."

After saying that, Fergus disappeared outside the guest room without even looking back, amid the complicated looks of everyone...

Just after Fergus left, Lilitha, who had been silent for a long time, spoke rarely.

"Jeter, do you think that all the knights who followed the Grand Duke of Rock in those days were like this?"

After thinking about it, Jet said uncertainly: "Probably."

Lilisha was silent for a moment, then looked out the window at the sky covered with dark clouds and sighed.

"Really? Then it seems that in that war a hundred years ago, our defeat...was not unfair."

PS: Please read my books and give me monthly votes!

I forgot to mention before that I changed the butler's name to avoid unnecessary trouble and it has no impact on the plot.
