"What do I need to pay?"
In the quiet room, a gentle and calm voice sounded.
Standing beside a wooden table and looking at the black card in front of him, Adil was silent for a while before he looked at Dillus and asked.
"I like to deal with smart people." Dillus' eyes flashed with a hint of admiration.
Holding the black card in his hand, his eyes flashed with nostalgia. Silent, he sat on the bed and did not speak for a long time.
At the side, Adil waited patiently. Silent, he looked at Dillus and did not disturb him at this time.
"In this city, many people think that I only have one child."
After a long time, Dillus said with a sigh, "But in fact, other than this child, I have another child. I gave birth to her when I was young."
"Because she is a girl and an illegitimate daughter, coupled with the fact that she does not have the slightest knightly talent, I have not told anyone about this for so many years. I only send someone to send some financial information to them every few years so that they do not live in poverty."
"But now, my other child is dead. My only remaining descendant is this illegitimate daughter."
At this point, he paused and turned his eyes to look at Adil.
"So?" Adil asked in response to Dillus' gaze.
"I hope you can help me take care of her." Meeting Adil's gaze, Dillus said calmly, "In six months, I want you to protect her as much as possible."
"During this period of time, if anything bad happens along the way, take her away and settle down in a remote and safe place. If there are no accidents along the way, your mission will end here after six months. "
He looked at Adil and said, "This is my only condition. As long as you agree, this certificate is yours."
As soon as he said this, Adil's face was calm, as if he was thinking about the pros and cons.
After a while, under Dillus' gaze, he finally nodded and said, "Deal."
As soon as he said this, Dillus immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
He looked at Adil in front of him and nodded. He then directly asked Karam, who was standing at the side, to deliver a package.
"Other than an invitation letter from the Malan Kingdom, there's also a letter of introduction and three thousand purple gold coins."
"Thank you." Adil nodded lightly. Looking at Kalam, who was walking over, he gently stretched out his hand and accepted the parcel.
After that, they didn't speak again. Only the sound of Adil packing could be heard from time to time.
"Is this really okay? To entrust this kind of thing to an outsider. "
After a while, after Adil left, Kalam frowned as he stood beside Dillus, supporting him. He seemed to be a little distrustful of Adil.
"There's no other way."
In front of him, Dillus changed his clothes and shook his head helplessly. "We have no other choice."
"Our entire family has been targeted. The people we know are too big of a target, and it's too easy for them to be exposed. At that time, they may not be trustworthy."
He turned to look outside the door, as if he could see Adil's back in the distance. "After thinking about it, only this doctor is a good choice."
"He's not a member of our family, and he hasn't been out often during this time, so it's not easy for him to be targeted."
"Moreover, his strength is not bad. His character, although not to the point of strictly fulfilling a Knight's oath, is still decent. He won't lay his hands on an ordinary girl."
Standing in place, Dillus's expression was calm as he looked outside the door in Silence. "With all the conditions combined, he's the best candidate for now."
"After all, at this point, we don't have much choice."
… …
"Although I've gained something, why do I feel that I'll be involved in greater trouble?"
Returning to his room, Adil thought to himself as he packed his luggage.
Thinking of the conversation with Dillus, he couldn't help but have this feeling.
Although the other party didn't say it directly, Adil could feel the ups and downs of the other party's emotions. Combined with the tragic situation of the Elland family during this period of time, Adil was seventy to eighty percent sure that he would most likely encounter some trouble when he went to protect the other party's daughter.
However, the other party's conditions were indeed irresistible to the current Adil.
Finding a way to enter the Imperial College and learn the knowledge of this world's knights was Adil's plan. Now that he had this opportunity, he naturally couldn't miss it.
After all, under normal circumstances, without the country's great nobles coming forward to vouch for him, Adil was equivalent to an unregistered resident in this world. It was impossible for him to enter the Malan Academy, which was specially set up by the empire.
After packing for a while, Adil picked up a medicine box in front of him and walked out.
Outside the room, a man in a black robe was already standing there. At this moment, when he saw Adil walking out, he bowed slightly and gave Adil a knight's salute. "Mr. Adil, are you done packing?"
"There's nothing to pack."
Looking at the man in a black robe in front of him, Adil said calmly, "I've already prepared the medicine for Mr. Dillus, along with the instructions to use it, inside. Later, you can bring someone over to take it away."
"I understand." The man in black nodded. "Then, Mr. Adil, please come with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked directly towards the path in front of him.
Behind him, looking at his back, Adil also walked forward with the medicine box in his hand.
After a while, they walked further and further away. After passing through a basement, they walked to a small door.
Bang bang …
The sound of metal colliding could be heard.
Holding the key in his hand, the man in black opened the small door here, then walked to the side and turned to look at Adil. "Sorry, because of some reasons, we can't leave from the main door for the time being, we can only leave from here."
"I understand." Adil's face was calm, he nodded lightly, but in his heart, he was a little speechless. "Do we even need to go out like this?"
Although he didn't say much on the surface, he still didn't say much, he directly turned around and walked outside.
After walking out of the small door, what greeted him was a long aisle.
Not long after, in the distance, a light gradually came, with a low sound of insects, was heard by Adil.
He walked out of the aisle and looked outside again.
In front of him was a flat grassland, in the distance there was a long stream, the sound of the stream flowing could be heard, causing Adil to be stunned.
"Have I already left the city?"
Feeling everything around him, he couldn't help but turn around and look behind him.
Behind him, a huge city stood in Silence, it looked exactly the same as when he first came here.
… …
Ta … Ta … Ta …
The sound of carriages moving could be heard from time to time on the clean road.
Sitting in a carriage and looking at the scenery on the road through the window, Adil's face was calm, and he didn't say anything.
At this time, more than a month had passed since he left, and during this period of time, the memory of the Elland family became more and more distant. However, the keepsake and recommendation letter were still with him, so Adil couldn't help but rush to this city.
"Sir, we have arrived." In front of the carriage, a voice sounded.
The coachman was a middle-aged man who looked very honest. In this hot weather, he was wearing a short robe, and his body was covered in sweat, it seemed that he had been sunburned quite a bit.
"Thank you."
Slowly getting off the carriage, Adil walked out with his medicine box. Dressed in a clean white robe, he looked at the coachman in front of him and said, "You can leave now, come back to pick me up at night."
After giving these instructions, after a while, the coachman drove the carriage away, and Adil also turned around and walked forward.
In front of him, there was a huge building that covered a lot of land, and there was a very grand gate that was repaired.
The whole gate was black, and it looked like it was made of some kind of metal. It looked very sturdy, and the word "Malan" was written on it in the language of this world.
This was the Malan Academy, and it was also one of the few academies opened by the Malan Empire.
Compared to the other academies, this academy was the most famous in the Malan Empire. Because in this Malan Academy, there were academies and courses specially set up for knights, it was an advanced academy that could really train knights.
For the past few days, Adil was already familiar with this place, and after walking through the gate, he directly followed the route that he remembered, and walked towards a huge building that covered a lot of land in the distance.
As soon as he walked into this academy, dozens of eyes immediately fell on Adil.
At this time, the appearance and temperament brought by the Moon Elf bloodline appeared, and at this time, no matter if it was a man or a woman, at this time, at this time, everyone couldn't help but look at Adil, making him very eye-catching.
However, with this kind of attention, Adil had long since gotten used to it.
His face was calm, and his white robes didn't seem to be tainted in the slightest. His extremely handsome face looked very delicate, and he had a calm and upright temperament, leaving a deep impression in the hearts of the people around him.
After walking for a short while, he arrived at a tall building.
"Mister Adil, your application for admission has been successfully processed."
In the spacious room, a blonde woman in a black dress stood before the counter with a smile on her face. She handed a round black card to Adil and said, "This is your certificate, please keep it well."
"Also, the academy's annual tuition fee is fifty purple coins, please pay it within the time limit."
Looking at Adil, she added, "Here is a class schedule, if you need to fill in other classes, you can directly choose here, we will arrange the time."
As she spoke, she handed Adil a class schedule.
Taking the class schedule, Adil took a look at it.
On the class schedule, the names of the classes and the required fees were stated in Silence, along with a general introduction, including information about the teachers, and so on.
As for the specific classes, it could be said that there was a wide variety of classes. There were traditional knight classes like swordsmanship, archery, and other classes like perfume, floral art, and medicine.
Some of these classes were free, while others were charged. But aside from a few classes, most of the other classes only cost one or two purple coins, which was extremely cheap compared to Adil's school fees.
Of course, this was also a matter of comparison.
The academy that Adil had applied for was the most important knight academy in the Malan Academy, so the fees were naturally much higher than the other academies.
In fact, if it wasn't for the knight course, but for the ordinary classes, one wouldn't even need a recommendation letter from a noble. One could just pay the money and enter.
Looking at the schedule in front of him, Adil glanced at it, then randomly selected a few courses on it, and returned it to the blonde woman in front of him.
After doing all this and paying the fees, Adil turned around and left in the direction where he came from.
Peng peng …
Light footsteps could be heard from afar.
In Adil's sight, a young girl was walking towards him.
The young girl was wearing a red robe, her soft long hair was combed very well and tied up with a red string. Her delicate and beautiful face looked a little cold. At this time, she was walking towards Adil.
Seeing Adil, the young girl's face flashed a little bit of surprise, but soon returned to normal. Her face looked expressionless, and she directly walked past Adil.
"Almost no weaker than Dillus."
Passing by the young girl, Adil couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
