This knight is too perfect

Chapter 6 Shock
In the militia dormitory.

Rhine leaned against the wall beside the door. The bright moonlight shone through the window into the dim little house, reflecting Rhine's serious expression.

At this time, Rhine had been holding the sword for a while, and did not dare to slack off at all.

Because only by maintaining this posture can Rhine ensure that he can hit the thing outside the door with one sword the moment it opens the door and enters the room.

But if possible, Rhine didn't want this scene to happen.

Because he felt that at the age of only twelve, with a body that had been malnourished for many years and had not yet fully recovered, he would not be able to severely injure the mysterious creature that posed a huge threat to him with just one sword.

If they fail to establish an advantage in the first strike, then they will face the slightly closed environment of the militia dormitory, coupled with the opponent's crazy and distorted "voice".

Obviously, he had no other choice but to fight to the death with the opponent.

After all, that kind of thing, no matter how you think about it, is not something you can communicate with.

Perhaps he thought Rhine was asleep and he could start hunting.

Or maybe he completely lost his patience.

Rhine felt that the guy outside the door, who had been silent for a long time, finally took action.

stab.

Following a slight but crisp sound of claws rubbing against the wooden door, the tightly closed door of the militia dormitory was quietly pushed open a crack by something.

The other party's movements were very gentle, obviously trying not to alarm the 'prey' in the room.

As the door was pushed open, Rhine immediately smelled a pungent odor, like the stench of a highly decomposed corpse.

In the moonlight, Rhine clearly saw a hunched shadow falling on the floor beside the door.

'coming. ’

Looking at the half-human shadow, Rhine held his breath and was ready to use the special breathing method he had 'stole' from Knight Fergus.

Although this breathing method has great side effects for Rhine.

But at this moment, Rhine can't care so much.

But just when Rhine saw a dry claw reaching into the door, the other party suddenly stopped.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly retracted his claws.

Soon, the other party's originally distorted and crazy voice changed immediately.

The new voice no longer had the original madness and distortion, but was replaced by indescribable "anger" and "fear".

Under Rhine's puzzled eyes, the guy who was about to enter the militia dormitory suddenly left the militia dormitory at an astonishing speed.

It was as if something that frightened the guy unexpectedly came to the vicinity of the militia dormitory.

This will force the other party to flee from here quickly.

That's right, escape.

And they fled in a panic and impatient manner.

Although he didn't know what exactly happened, Rhine, who survived the disaster, was still satisfied with the result.

After all, judging from the speed at which that thing just left, even if he launched an attack on it almost by sneak attack.

The result may be that the opponent may dodge under extreme circumstances, or avoid the vital points.

After weighing the pros and cons, the current result is definitely a blessing in disguise for Rhine.

However, a dangerous departure does not mean that Rhine is safe.

Because this may very well mean that another danger, greater than the previous one, is quietly approaching the Rhine.

So Rhine did not put down the iron sword in his hand at this time.

Instead, he closed the door again and continued to wait by the door.

crunch...

When the wooden board outside the door was stepped on, a new visitor arrived outside the militia dormitory.

But this time, after Rhine was stunned for a moment, he silently put down the sword in his hand.

"You are very perceptive, strange silver-haired boy."

Jet pushed open the door of the militia dormitory and walked straight into the room.

At this time, Rhine had hung the sword in his hand on the wall and lit the oil lamp hanging on the wall, completely illuminating the originally dim militia dormitory.

"Thank you for the compliment, Master Jeter."

Under the light, Jet stood at the gate of the militia dormitory, looked up and sniffed.

Then he did not hide the disgust on his face and said in a low voice: "This damn, rotten and dirty smell, it seems that this castle is indeed as I thought, and has been shrouded in red moonlight without knowing it."

"These are a bunch of sewer rats. No matter where you go, you can see their shadows. You can never kill them all."

Red moonlight...

Rhine listened to Jet's words and grasped something keenly.

Perhaps seeing what Rhine was thinking, Jet came alone to the only table in the militia dormitory, took out a red candle from his arms and placed it on the table.

"Light it up at night, and then make sure it doesn't go out."

"Then you can sleep peacefully."

After that, Jet sat down on the chair beside the table without caring about Rhine's reaction. It was a bench that could hold three to four adults, but after Jet sat down, it made a crisp creaking sound, as if it would fall apart at any time.

Although Rhine noticed this detail, he wisely did not say it out.

After all, as early as the first time he saw Jet and his servant from afar, Rhine understood that these two people were definitely people he could not easily offend.

Because his invincible Knight's Protection, Mercy (Hearing Everything), seemed to be ineffective on the master and servant Jet.

You know, even the apprentice knight Fergus and the mysterious monster that just appeared outside the dormitory cannot isolate themselves from "listening".

And Rhine also found that he was unable to listen to the voices of the new visitors outside.

He understood that the visitor outside the door was someone he could never contend with.

Therefore, he decisively put down his weapon, hoping to convey his "goodwill" to the other party as much as possible.

And this is what Jet calls the "sharpness" of Rhine.

This is also one of the reasons why he has a good attitude towards Rhine at this time.

After all, not everyone is as smart as Rhine.

Know how to communicate with superiors and understand when to maintain the necessary humility.

Arrogance and ignorance, these are what Jet has seen most along the way.

Looking at Rhine, who was standing quietly not far from him, looking more like a noble than a slave.

Jet said, "Boy, because your hair color reminds me of many good memories, I allow you to ask me three questions."

"Remember, there are only three."

Upon hearing this, Rhine, who was good at seizing opportunities, immediately understood the importance of these three questions.

In order to maximize the benefits of these three issues, Rhine decisively activated his humility (absolute focus).

[Humility (absolute focus): If you remain humble, you will have the best learning and analytical abilities.]

After some thought, Rhine asked the first question.

"First question, Mr. Jeter, is the thing that just appeared outside the dormitory... a human?"

Without any hesitation, Jet gave the answer directly.

“Yes, but no.”

Rhine nodded and asked the second question.

"The second question is, Sir Jeter, are you... a human?"

Jeter said nonchalantly, "Not at all."

Rhine was not surprised by this answer because he had already expected it.

The first two questions are just stepping stones for Rhine to speculate about this world.

The next and last question is the one that Rhine really cares about and is eager to know the answer to.

"My third question is, Sir Jeter, is there any way to kill the monster that just appeared outside the door?"

Hearing this question, Jet smiled.

This time, he did not directly answer Rhine's question.

Instead, he walked to the door and picked up the long sword that Rhine had just held in his hand.

Then, in front of Rhine's surprised eyes, Jet slashed at his wrist with a powerful sword.

boom!
When the sharp one-handed sword touched Jet's arm, it broke on the spot as if it had hit some indestructible steel.

Jeter casually threw away the broken sword in his hand and said in a relaxed tone: "Only the extraordinary can kill the extraordinary. Mortals... cannot kill the extraordinary."

"Okay, three questions are over. It's time for you to have a good rest. After all, the night in this castle is still very long."

After saying this, Jeter walked to the door.

And when he left, he told her the purpose of his visit tonight.

"Silver-haired boy, Baron Thorn is a nobleman appointed by the Morton royal family. My lady and I have no right to interfere in his territory, which naturally includes you, a slave who belongs exclusively to Baron Thorn."

"But now that the lady has set her sights on you and is willing to grant you her mercy, you better be worthy of this mercy."

"Miss's original intention was to ask Baron Thorn to release you from slavery and let you leave the castle."

"But what the lady doesn't know is that sometimes leaving an obvious danger is not necessarily a good thing, because it may put you in another greater danger."

"I know that the lady's kindness is only limited to when you are still under her gaze, so while the lady and I are still in the castle, you'd better not walk around."

"As long as you can light the candle every night as I said and stay in this room obediently, I promise that you will not encounter any danger during this period of time."

After saying that, Jet disappeared into the darkness outside the militia dormitory without caring about Rhine's response.

As for whether Rhine would do as he said, Jet didn't care.

Because if Rhine didn't do what he said, then Rhine would be betraying Miss Lilith's kindness.

And anyone who fails to live up to the lady's kindness will be made to pay the price.
