In the Name of the Queen

The morning light kindly awakens every sleeping child.

Except for the people of Sussex.

It is difficult for them to see the morning light in winter.

As more and more factories appeared in Camden and other places, the sky in Sussex changed color.

From white mist to gray haze.

The magnificent bells awakened the residents around, including those in the church.

Adam, who had been tossing and turning in the woodshed all night, got up.

The door was pushed open roughly.

The white-robed nun put the wooden basin and towel for washing on the small wooden table next to the wooden bed with a cold face, and then took out the steaming black bread from her arms.

Natasha was about to throw the bread on the table, but thinking that the table was very dusty, she took off her headscarf to cushion it, and then threw the bread down.

She didn't say a word from beginning to end, and her fair face was as cold as the glaciers in her hometown.

But Adam knew that his sister's heart was warm.

Just like this hot big bread.

Like him, she never knew how to talk to her family gently.

After breakfast, Adam came to the main hall of the church and wanted to thank Bishop Hermann in person, but was stopped outside by the white-robed priest.

The priest told him very politely that there was no need to thank him, and he just needed to stop causing trouble for the bishop.

The priest was very kind, a hundred times more polite than his sister, but Adam felt a chill coming towards him.

Adam held his breath and left the church, walking blankly on the street.

Passing by the alley where he was attacked yesterday again, he felt a chill in his heart, and walked in to find clues.

Not long after, he regretted it.

A smart man will not fall into the same pit twice.

But he is a fool.

Just as he was rummaging around looking for clues, there were scattered footsteps at both ends of the alley.

He knew without looking up that he was surrounded.

Adam's heart trembled slightly.

He reached out to touch the dagger hidden in his trouser leg, but grabbed nothing.

His heart was chilled.

It was probably taken out during the treatment yesterday.

Without a weapon, the enemy was well prepared, so his chance of survival was much lower.

Adam closed his eyes, completely desperate.

There were seven people in front, five people behind, and two people on the roof ambushing with muskets. How could he run?

Wait!

Adam opened his eyes suddenly. How could he sense such detailed information?

His body trembled.

This time it was not fear, but excitement.

He felt the majestic power and the soul-bound card.

[Bard]

[Rank Nine]

Looking at Adam standing there, the leader who led people to ambush him yesterday laughed as ugly as a night owl.

"I heard that stupid bears always like to go back, but I didn't expect that someone is even stupider than a bear, hahaha!"

The other ambushers also laughed wildly.

They learned from yesterday's lesson. Not only did they double the number of people today, but some people also ambushed on the roof with guns.

Looking at the trembling Rurik boy, how could they not laugh.

The leader looked at Adam, and his hideous face had a few more cold smiles.

"Boy, don't blame us. You blocked the way of a certain literary giant. That gentleman doesn't like risks, even if it's only one percent."

"Go!"

"Ah!!"

The screams came one after another.

Adam had just become a superhuman, and his ability was not suitable for frontal combat, and superhumans were not supermen.

But even the weakest superhumans were still superhumans.

The weakest superhumans could easily knock down a dozen hooligans.

Adam started killing like a giant bear rushing into a flock of sheep.

He smashed the wrist of the first hooligans who rushed up and snatched the dagger.

Blood splattered and limbs flew.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Continuous gunshots.

The gunman hiding on the roof didn't know why Adam suddenly became so powerful, but he knew he had to shoot.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

After killing several hooligans who blocked his way, Adam jumped onto the roof like lightning, and the gunman had lost his target the moment he fired.

He kicked the gunmen down one by one, and fled quickly like a brown bear foraging in summer.

The leader who led the operation was stunned to see Adam fleeing from the upper room.

He was completely confused and had no idea how to command the operation.

Just as his eyes were dull, Adam, who was about to escape, seemed to have thought of something and turned back suddenly.

The last thing the leader was aware of was Adam's bright smile and white teeth.

Then he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

"Ah!"

A shrill scream sounded.

The leader, who was still worrying about how to report to his employer, was stabbed in the chest by a flying dagger.

It hit the heart accurately.

His eyes went black and he fell down.

Now he doesn't have to worry about how to report.

"Captain, there is a guy who calls himself the bard Adam who wants to see you."

"Oh? Please let him in!" Roland's voice came from the room.

The door opened, and Adam appeared at the door, followed by two copper knights with swords drawn.

Roland laughed dumbly and signaled the knights to retreat.

Looking at the somewhat embarrassed Adam, he smiled and teased: "Mr. Adam, what's going on?"

Adam flexed his wrist and said in a deep voice:

"I'm in trouble. To be more precise, we're in trouble."

He sat down opposite Roland, took the teacup, took a few gulps, and told him everything that had happened from yesterday to today.

He just mentioned the matter of becoming a transcendent, and just said that he had become stronger.

Roland's face gradually became solemn, and he paced back and forth in the room several times.

His brain was working fast, and he asked Adam several questions in succession.

After thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "Adam, are you interested in joining the Knights of the White Rose?"

"Ah?"

Adam never thought that Roland would do this.

"I, I am a Rurik."

"I asked if you want to join." Roland reminded.

"I, alas, I yearn for a free life more." Adam gritted his teeth and refused.

He needs shelter, and Roland and the Sussex royal family behind him also have the power to protect him.

But he needs freedom more.

A poet who is not free is equal to a dead person.

Roland smiled and said: "You are a special talent, of course you don't have to be like an ordinary knight. Start with the silver knight, and directly give you the gold level. Others are dissatisfied."

"I"

Roland patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "I don't care about legal freedom, but you will be a member of the Knights in the future. There are some places you must not go. Those places are not safe."

Adam didn't know that Roland was talking about the unsafe "Aiyu, Mei Shila", he thought Roland was talking about life safety.

He took a deep breath, stood up straight as if he had made up his mind, and answered loudly:

"Silver Knight Igor reports to you."

"Captain Roland, Igor is my real name, but I am still Adam now."

Roland quickly wrote a letter of appointment and handed it to Adam.

"Very good, Adam Silver Knight, go to the logistics department to collect your uniform and salary. From now on, you can move freely and perform the performance mission code-named Glorious."

Adam excitedly saluted Roland with an unstandard knight's salute, holding the letter of appointment and left.

Looking at his back, Roland's smile gradually disappeared.

The sixth return day is approaching.

Whether becoming a transcendent or advancing to a breakthrough, it must be accelerated.
