Episode 212. What do you want (2)
The first convocation of the knights after the death of the saint and the declaration of disbandment of the knights of light.
The eyes of the knights who had lost their belief in light were filled with anxiety, distrust, and suspicion.
Hundreds of knights gathered in the central auditorium.
When the news first came out, some of the shocked knights decided to leave the group ahead of its official disbandment, but they have not yet gone to the extent of losing their original form.
However, if things continue like this without any action or plan, it is inevitable that more drivers will leave the group in the future.
Someone had to step in and coordinate it.
An old man came up onto the towering platform in front of the confused knights.
“… … !”
Some knights who knew the old man’s face were amazed.
Jereon Alkin, former leader of the Knights of Light and the actual leader of the knights.
He appeared within the Order for the first time in several decades.
What he said to the knights when he got up to the podium was very simple.
The Knights of Light were reorganized, not disbanded.
He said that the existing original form will be maintained as is, but as times change, the role that the knights must play will also change.
In line with their changing role, they are simply trying to no longer use the name Knights of Light.
It was said that it would change into the name of a new organization that follows a new order.
Its name is Redeem. That is, the Knights of Salvation.
Jereon confidently said that what we must do now is to save all the people on this earth who are crying in despair in the name of salvation.
So the Knights of Light,
We are reborn with a new name, the Knights of Salvation.
In later years, people called this day the day a new order began.
“It was a really great speech. “The lingering feeling still hasn’t gone away.”
Eshel approached Jereon, who was coming down after finishing his speech.
“It seems that the knights were also deeply moved by Jereon’s speech. “The anxiety that was eating away at their hearts must have now eased a lot.”
“I think I’m mistaken, so I’ll say it again. I said I would help you, not that we would be together.”
Jereon immediately drew a line and denied it.
“I know. He just said he was curious about what kind of order we were trying to establish. But I dare say that Jereon will soon follow us. A new order, not light… … .”
Jereon gave a strange look in his eyes when he heard the words “new order.”
“Isn’t the new order you talk about ultimately encompassing all beings who previously denied light?”
“of course. We will lead them in a way that will no longer lead them to overthrow or judgment, but to salvation.”
“As I have a certain relationship with your father, I will give you one piece of advice.”
Eshel smiled, folding her hands neatly as if welcoming her.
“Changing the order is not as easy as you think. Not only will the hearts of those who followed the existing order grow, but the resistance of those who did not even follow the existing order will increase. “It will take quite a long time to change even those minds.”
“I know what your concerns are. But if we don’t do this, we won’t be able to defeat them. Doesn’t the leader know this too? The dangers of beings of fog… … .”
Jereon did not respond in particular.
“We have to mobilize everything. Even if it means pursuing something outside of this world.”
Eshel was tightly clutching the pure white long sword at her waist.

The surrounding area was very noisy due to the official notices that had been spread throughout each city and territory since morning.
Although I wonder if this is some kind of lame pun, there are more than a few things that are somewhat annoying.
New order.
Knights of Salvation.
We abandon the existing notions that have persisted for a long time in this land and re-establish new notions.
I still don’t know how many dirty ties are involved in this matter, including the imperial family.
There is no denying the fact that they will be involved.
And soon, they will reveal their true purpose, which they have been trying to wrap their heads around for years.
Of course, the purpose will be towards me and Mist.
It’s safe to say that he’s looking at bigger things.
Do you know what the best way to foil your opponent’s plan is?
simple.
This means finding out the other person’s plans in advance.
For me, a second life is perhaps the best weapon I have against this world.
However, I may have been overconfident with that weapon so far.
I thought I could handle whatever they did.
However, the story changes when they take in unknown information that even I do not know.
And the key to that unknown information is,
Right now, right before my eyes, you are chewing a piece of hard bread,
This must be for an elf who can’t speak.
‘The bread is really soft! ‘I’ve never had bread this soft in Pruina!’
I don’t know if this is empty or sincere, but that’s a very hard bread that feels like your teeth will fall out if you take a bite.
To avoid crowded places, I went to a random place that could at least serve as a restaurant, but I ended up in a really random place.
I never thought I’d end up in a place where they couldn’t even serve bread properly.
This elf eating it because it’s delicious only makes it funnier.
Records of the old times.
This is truly unknown information that no human living on this earth knows.

Saint Nephrodite tried to take it from Hastia, and the fact that she tried to take it means that it was information that those who shared her cause also wanted.
At the very least, it was enough to approach the foolish princess with just one knight.
‘Sian?’
Now that you think about it, why did Princess Arin come to Aquizel alone?
Were you planning on secretly taking records of the old times?
‘Sian?’
Now that I think about it, I think there were more than one question I should have asked, but I was really out of my mind at the time… .
‘Sian!’
“… … !”
Blue eyes that seemed to be filled with some kind of sadness were looking at me clearly.
Rather than reacting to a psychic response, I couldn’t help but react as he held my face with both hands to ask me to look at him.
‘What are you thinking that you can’t respond when I call you?’
“Do you have anything to say?”
‘just. This soup is delicious… … .’
She held out the steaming soup to me proudly.
It is a soup made by steeping animal bones without any ingredients.
If I could say that this was delicious, I felt pity once again, wondering what on earth they were eating in that barren Pruina.
There was a time when I would just let her go coolly, wondering what was going on, but now the reason I have her by my side again is simple.
Because I decided it was safer to leave it next to me.
Are you planning on looking for records from the past?
At least if I keep it next to me, I can prevent others from coveting it.
I don’t want to believe in such absurd things as divine protection.
In other words, isn’t there something that the supreme gods want to hide, to the extent of protecting them?
This is the so-called weakness.
I can’t help but watch it, even if it’s just to achieve my crazy financial dream.
‘But you can’t see Demon Sword?’
“… … .”
‘Are you sleeping?’
“I think so.”
Since there was nothing useful to think about deeply, I just ignored it.
Hastia seemed to tilt her head, but just as she was about to resume eating,
‘Someone’s coming!’
He spoke, raising his ears hidden under his hood as if detecting some kind of presence.
Has it finally arrived?
It feels a bit late, but I think it came to the right place.
“Woah, you are here. young master!”
“A little late?”
“Ooh, I guess I was unlucky. After searching all over this area, the last place I came to was this place… … .”
“You had a hard time coming, sit down.”
“Yes, master… … .”
As he was about to sit down, he suddenly noticed Hastia sitting right in front of him and his eyes widened.
“young master. this person is?”
“I’m just a white elf who’s going around with me because I have some work to do.”
“Woah, white elf?!”
It’s a really cool reaction when you say you saw something great.
‘Sian, who is this?’
Hastia also asked me who he was, as it was my first time meeting him.
“Brian is my squire.”
“Sir, my name is Brian Kendrick, serving Master Xian!”
Brian bowed his head and introduced himself.
That foolish disposition doesn’t seem to change even after several years.
‘You’re a master?’
“don’t mind. “I’m just calling you by the name you used in the past.”
Hastia blinked in confusion as if she did not understand.
“Did you check the security of the house?”
“yes! I did a final check before leaving. Unless Nana goes out on her own, I don’t think there will be any major problems… … .”
If you can’t continue your conversation right away, it means there’s something else going on.
“It seems like crews have been coming and going around the house a lot lately.”
“The crew is coming and going?”
“yes. He appeared more often than usual and kept hanging around. I wasn’t really conscious of it, but I felt like I was checking to see if the Master had come… … .”
Did the head of the family really want me to take Nana for a walk?
Well, the head of the family probably wanted me to be quiet in a quiet place,
Unfortunately, I don’t have the heart to do that.
They must have heard about what happened in Aquizel by now, so they’re probably looking for me in every way possible by now.
I guess I need to erase some more traces of myself.
“I’m going out for a moment and coming back.”
I left the two of them and left the restaurant.
* * *
Xian just left without saying where he was going.
There was a strange silence between Hastia and Brian, who were left behind.
-Sigh
Hastia carefully handed the food she was eating towards Brian.
“Oh, it’s okay! Even if you don’t care… … .”
‘I heard you looked all around to find us? ‘Aren’t you hungry?’
“… … ?”
‘Ah, you really can’t sense the spirit?’
Unfortunately, Brian was not skilled enough in mental magic to be able to sense the spirit.
As most of the people I had met so far were able to telepathize easily, Hastia was able to telepathize naturally as well.
However, Brian could not accept this and just kept his eyes open.
“Oh, are you saying you can’t speak?”
Hastia nodded cautiously.
“Uh, then are you able to communicate like this?”
Without any hesitation, Brian immediately started expressing something in the air with both hands.
It was a visual language or sign language that communicated with hands.
‘… … !’
Hastia, who understood Brian’s sign language, responded in the same sign language as Brian.
“Ah, so you’re saying that hearing is possible. Well sir.”
By chance, they found a point of contact and before long, they quickly became closer.
Hastia told Brian the whole story about how she came here with help from Xian in the Garam Kingdom.
“I see. Although our master appears blunt, he is very affectionate. “I think Master probably called me to protect Hastia.”
While we were spending time talking about Xi’an,
-Squeak
The door to the restaurant opened and two more men and women came inside.
“There are many other restaurants, so is there a reason you come to a place like this?”
“I don’t really like crowded places, and this old restaurant just smells vaguely familiar.”
Right behind Hastia and Brian.
After hearing the woman’s voice, Brian’s face suddenly became as hard as stone.
It was a very familiar voice for some reason.
As a result of quickly tracing my memory, this was very similar to the voice of a woman who often visited Xian’s room when he lived at the academy.
Not only that, the same person who helped them from the Garam Society when escaping from Brenu… … .
‘Lunav?’
