Chapter 1620: Chapter 864: Black Knight Order_3
At this moment, Marquis Bolton came back, his face now transformed from a dejected look to one of pride. He said eagerly, “My wife thought I was dead, she cried until her voice went hoarse. Everyone outside says I don’t get along with my wife well, but they’re just sour grapes because they can’t have what we have!”
Qing Chen was silent for two seconds: “Marquis, let’s talk business…”
“Oh oh,” Bolton hastily replied, “My wife said there’s a Silver City Troops near here heading to the No. 5 Outpost Base, they’ve been ordered by the Kingdom to come and support, they can pick us up along the way, isn’t that great?”
Qing Chen was speechless: “Marquis, what’s so great about that? If it’s a retreating troop, that’s one thing, but this troop is heading to support the fight, are they picking us up so we can go and die together? The scale of this war will be much larger than we imagined, everyone who wants to survive will have to rely on luck.”
Bolton wilted upon hearing this.
However, the floating airship from Silver City had already arrived.
A small fleet quickly approached and landed in front of everyone.
The hatch opened, and the first young man who jumped down surprisingly was an Asian, wearing the Marquis’s eagle emblem on his chest.
Qing Chen whispered to He Jinqiu, “Can Asians become Marquis?”
He Jinqiu clearly knew more about the Roosevelt Kingdom and explained, “He’s one of the twelve knights in the Black Knights of Silver City, and all twelve knights are Asian, supposedly due to some tradition. So, Asian citizens and freemen in the Kingdom like to go to Silver City because the atmosphere of discrimination isn’t as severe there. Do you think this Black Knight might be related to your knights?”
Qing Chen asked back, “What’s their mysterious training?”
“Don’t know, very mysterious, reportedly related to magic potion,” He Jinqiu said calmly, “Silver City is the largest distribution center for magic potion in the Kingdom, and there’s a huge magic potion trade fair every year… The so-called magic potion is stuff gotten from the Taboo Forest, like the venomous fangs of a two-headed snake, the rhizomes of crystal wisteria. Of course, there are more various fruits. Sometimes national events selling potions also include Taboo items.”
There’s nothing magical about the potions, Zhi Lanxing, Immortality, Realm camellia, in the Roosevelt Kingdom’s understanding these are magic potion.
Qing Chen asked again, “What’s their combat style?”
“This is also very mysterious, it seems most who face them end up dead,” He Jinqiu said, “Roosevelt Kingdom here does a good job safeguarding their training secrets, without actually fighting them, it’s hard to know what exactly they can do.”
“Then it’s impossible to gauge,” Qing Chen sighed.
Back then, Ren He and Ren Xiaosu had been to the West Continent, he also once speculated whether the Black Knights might be related to knights, but now it seems there is no evidence to support that.
At this point, the Asian marquis walked over with a smile and said to Bolton, “Marquis Bolton, when I was stationed at the No. 2 Outpost Base, I heard your name every day, my ears have grown calluses from it. Hurry and get on the airship, I’ve already prepared fine wine and cuisine on my airship.”
Marquis Bolton’s eyes widened: “Aren’t you heading to the No. 5 Outpost Base battlefield? You still have the mind to drink?”
The Black Knight smiled and said, “Don’t worry, our fleet will just wander around the buiten edge, not entering the battlefield.”
“What will you say if the King blames you for avoiding the battle? How do you explain?”
“Got lost!”
Qing Chen and He Jinqiu were stunned, the style of Silver City is quite comical!
…
The word count today is only eight thousand four, not a full ten thousand, will make up for the missing tomorrow
