This knight is too perfect

Chapter 78 Dream Water

Adrian on the streets late at night.

Darren dragged his tired body and slowly walked into an old apartment.

In the dim corridor of the apartment, a large amount of domestic garbage was piled around the corridor, and some rats with red eyes shuttled through it, looking for any food that could satisfy their needs.

Such a dirty and messy environment implies that the people living in this apartment are not actually rich.

Darren ignored all this and walked all the way to the fourth floor of the apartment and stopped in front of the door of his own apartment.

Although he was exhausted both physically and mentally, Darren was not in a hurry to go in at this time.

He carefully straightened his clothes and made sure that the smell of blood on his body had been washed away. Then he patted his face and put on a sunny and cheerful expression.

"Mom, I'm back."

Darren pushed open the door and shouted loudly into the house.

After hearing Darren's words, a middle-aged woman quickly walked out of the kitchen, dragging her thin body.

Seeing my mother, whose body is so weak but still insists on cooking for me.

Darren hurried forward, forcefully took the noodles from his mother's hand, and placed them on the table next to him.

"Mom, I've told you many times that you're not feeling well and need to rest."

"Don't go to such a dangerous place like the kitchen again. I can take care of the eating problem myself."

Facing her son's reproach, Darren's mother was not angry at all. Instead, she said gently, "How can that be possible, Darren? You are now a respected knight under the Earl."

"Cooking is a trivial matter that cannot be done by a noble knight like you."

Looking at her son who had grown up and become a knight of Earl Adrian's Mansion, Darren's mother felt proud from the bottom of her heart.

When Darren heard this, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

However, he quickly adjusted his mentality, and helped his mother sit on the chair next to him, saying with a smile: "But even if she is a knight, there is no reason for her to drag her sick body and stay up late at night to cook for her son."

As he spoke, Darren lit the oil lamp on the table and took out a bag of coins and placed it next to his mother.

"Mom, look, this is my salary this month. It's more than double what I got last month."

"Now I have been appreciated by the eldest master Remi, and my salary has increased a lot."

"With this money, I will be able to pay off my father's foreign debts quickly, and take you to the best church hospital in Adrian to completely cure your illness."

"When that time comes, I will take you and Stella out of this shabby little apartment and live in a large manor with a big yard, a big lawn, and sunshine every day."

"Mom, what do you think of this?"

Hearing her son's bright future plans, Darren's mother immediately showed an expression of longing.

However, Darren's mother quickly returned to reality from her beautiful fantasy and said to Darren seriously: "Darren, it doesn't matter what happens to me, but you must not treat Stella's child badly."

"After all, she is a good girl who did not abandon us even after our family went bankrupt and has always stayed with us."

"So even if you have money now, you must not spend it recklessly, but must repay others well, understand?"

In response, Darren forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, Mom. I know everything you said. I told Stella that as long as I pay off the money my father owes and your health gets better, we will get married immediately."

Hearing this, Darren's mother immediately raised her weak hand and tapped Darren on the head lightly.

"Idiot, what are you waiting for? Pay off the money and get better."

"I know my own body condition very well, and it won't get better anytime soon."

“But if you don’t hurry up with such a good child like Stella, she might be abducted by someone else.”

"So in my opinion, it's best for you to get married right away. That way, even if I die, it can be considered..."

"mom!"

Hearing his mother say such an unlucky thing, Darren immediately interrupted her.

Then he put the 'Dream Water' he got from Remi on the table.

He changed the subject and said, "Mom, believe me, you will definitely get better."

"Look, this is the latest healing potion developed by the church that I asked for from Master Remi. With it, I think your body will slowly get better."

However, when faced with the precious potion that Darren took out, Darren's mother's first reaction was not whether it could cure her, but her heartache for its price.

"Darren, this thing isn't cheap, is it?"

"You've spent a lot of money on me over the years, why don't you..."

"mom!"

"Okay, okay, Mom won't say any more. I won't say any more."

Seeing that her son was about to talk about her again, Darren's mother finally stopped talking.

She picked up the dream water that Darren had placed on the table, and under Darren's guidance, drank a small glass.

And the magical thing is that as that small cup of dream water entered Darren's mother's body.

Her frail body, which had been tormented by illness for many years, actually regained a lot of color visibly.

The whole person's spirit and energy have improved a lot.

But during this process, Darren's mother's eyes went from clear to hazy.

It was as if I was trapped in some special illusion.

Looking at the Dream Water's immediate effect, Darren immediately showed a surprised expression.

You didn't lie to me. Master Remi really didn't lie to me.

This thing may really cure my mother's illness! With this long-lost joy, Darren helped his mother back to bed and carefully observed her for a long time.

After making sure that the mother had fallen asleep peacefully and her health had indeed improved.

Darren then returned to the living room contentedly and ate the noodles made by his mother alone.

But unlike his confidence in front of his mother, Darren could not hide his fatigue when eating alone.

He looked down at the noodles in the bowl and for some reason had no appetite at all.

In a trance, the noodles turned into bloody pieces of meat in his eyes.

And these pieces of flesh looked very similar to the bodies of the law enforcement team members that he had just torn into pieces.

Darren was frightened by this scene and pushed the bowl of noodles away.

After waking up, he grabbed his hair fiercely and whispered, "I'm not wrong, I'm not wrong. I did this for my mother and Stella to fight for a better life. I'm not wrong..."

Although he said this, Dalun's eyes became more and more confused.

At the same time, he suddenly smelled a 'fragrance' coming from the kitchen.

Driven by the aroma, Darren walked to the kitchen involuntarily.

And this fragrance came from a piece of raw, bloody beef that my mother had not yet processed.

Looking at the piece of raw beef on the chopping board, Darren didn't feel disgusted for some reason, but instead drooled.

Then, driven by instinct, Darren walked forward involuntarily, grabbed the bloody raw beef on the chopping board, and began to eat it with relish.

In the dim kitchen, Darren, who was squatting on the kitchen floor, didn't look like a knight at all. He looked like a ferocious beast who didn't know what civilization was.

Although he knew in his heart that it was a little wrong to do so, he was completely unable to suppress his inner instinct.

This psychological torment was eventually overshadowed by the wonderful taste buds, and Darren gradually became addicted to it.

What Darren didn't notice was that while he was squatting on the ground and eating, he was enjoying his meal.

A crow was perched on the eaves not far from the kitchen, watching everything silently.

Watching him gradually becoming crazy and like a wild beast.

Late at night in Silver Moon Manor, in Lilitha's study.

"Rhine, which one do you think is more forgivable: doing bad things with good intentions or doing good things with bad intentions?"

Lilitha asked as she opened the study window.

Not long after Lilitha opened the window, a crow flew in from the window and landed on Rhine's shoulder.

It was also after the crow landed that Rhine opened his eyes.

He looked at Lilisa and gave his answer without hesitation.

"Your Highness, bad things will not become good things because of good intentions, and good things will not become bad things because of bad intentions. Therefore, what you think in your heart is never important. What really matters is the actions that are put into practice."

Hearing this answer, Lilisha walked to the desk and picked up the 'Dream Water' on it.

"Yes, Rhine, human hearts are complicated and unpredictable, but the facts are set and cannot be changed."

“So it’s never important whether he has good intentions or not. What’s important is whether he is doing good things or bad things.”

After that, Lilysa placed the 'Dream Water' in front of Rhine and said, "Can you guess what this is?"

Rhine shook his head, indicating that he had never seen such a thing.

Lilith looked at the Dream Water on the table and made no effort to hide her disgust for it.

"This is a unique potion developed by the Holy Communion, mixed with 'Life Essence' and other special materials."

"After taking this potion, people will experience a unique sense of dreaminess and it will nourish the body for a short period of time, creating the illusion that the condition has improved."

"Just taking this potion for a long time is just like reading forbidden knowledge for a long time. It will cause irreversible deformation to your body and soul."

"So whether in Akkad or Morton, this potion called Dream Water is expressly prohibited by the royal family."

"But in this prosperous Adrian, I was able to get this potion easily. I think you, as a smart person, should have understood the deep meaning behind it, right?"

Rhine nodded and looked at the Dream Water placed in front of him with a serious expression.

"This shows that the Holy Communion has already reached into Adrian, and their infiltration here may be far beyond my imagination."

"Yes."

Lilysa walked to Rhine and caught the crow that was originally on Rhine's shoulder. She said, "Rhine, I have never told you the reason why I visited Baron Thorn before, but maybe I should tell you now."

"Because if you don't know the secrets, then you won't be able to truly understand how important the Thorn Territory is to me and to other extraordinary organizations."

"And if you mistakenly underestimate the value of the Thorn Territory, the consequences will be very serious."

As she said that, Lilitha walked to the window and sent the crow out.

After the crow flapped its wings and completely disappeared into Adrian's dark night sky, Lilitha closed the window again.

Then she turned around and sat back in the high-back chair in front of the desk.

And he seriously told Rhine an extraordinary secret that he had never known.

“Rhine, what I am going to say next is a secret that only a small number of Morton nobles and the Akkadian royal family know. This secret not only involves the origin of the power of the Principality of Morton and the Akkadian royal family, but also involves an extremely large but little-known secret society in the Extraordinary World.”

"The name of this secret society is... the White Tower."
