"? Moon Knights?" Ji Bai put the short sword away slowly and looked Lin Tuo up and down with an astonished look.
"How about? Do you feel surprised when you hear the Moon Knights?"
"...... Never, I never heard of it." Ji Bai spread out his hands and said his inner feelings
"Ahem ....! Forgive you, after all, you are still young ah! Even if it's true, don't say it so directly, okay? Life is already so hard, don’t break some things to make people upset." Lin Tuo coughed a few times to cover up his embarrassment, and gave Ji Bai a disdainful look without good temper.
"I'm sorry. In fact, I've never heard of the name Moon Knights. Does Moon Knights really exist? .... Is the Moon Knights an illegal organization?” Ji Bai shook his head in confusion. The cat-eared girl beside him shook his cute cat ears, a face of uncertainty, and Ji Bai was looking at Lin Tuo , his eyes turning more strange gradually.
This is really not Ji Bai’s bias. If it is the Knights which Ji Bai has never heard of , it is estimated that this knights is without formal certification. To put it bluntly, this organization is a secret social where idle people gather together and do illegal and disorderly things.
Thinking that, Ji Bai narrowed his eyes, staring at Lin Tuo with a little bit danger.
This kind of guy in a suit and dressed like a decent man could not be considered a good man in the general set. Besides, this guy behaved strange. If certain transgressions of him were established, Ji Bai thought he was obliged to do his duty as a retired knight and catch this guy and put him to the relevant agencies.
"Huh huh? Young man, how can you think like that! Other than that, just look at my handsome and elegant face! Can it have even the slightest relationship with those derogatory words?" Lin Tuo argued forcefully , but also at the same time he approached Ji Bai shamelessly.
"All right, you go to the side. You can’t say something good." Seemingly unable to tolerate this scene any longer, the silent Lan Yi pulled Lin Tuo's arm away and pulled him aside, stepping forward and staring at Ji Bai.
"As you said, we are the Knights without any formal certification according to the current government concept."
"So, you just want to drag me into this inexplicable gathering organization? Are there any benefits? Do you guarantee me five insurances and one housing fund after joining? I don't think any normal person would care about you if you don’t make this clear, right?" Ji Bai said bluntly without any hesitation.
"Well, but a normal person wouldn't save a demon in an alley." Lan Yi's eyes were as serene as a ripple-free spring. "Demon seeds are deeply rooted in normal people’s thinking. I believe that the first reaction of normal people being to demon seeds is to flee as far as possible, followed by after that, they will contact the Holy Martial Association."
"How do I know you are not some people like the cult or something?" Ji Bai looked at the cat-eared girl sitting at his feet. The lovely kitten looked at Lan Yi once again.
"We have told you about our main purpose. Besides, the rest of the creeds are no different from that of other knights. By the way, do you think we lack people so we just recruit arbitrarily without careful consideration? Just tell you, attaching great importance to individual ability is an significant criterion for us to select talents. If your response to the test just now has even a hint of deviation, you’ll fail in the test." Lan Yi said indifferently.
"So, do you consider yourselves to be knights?"
"As I said, we follow the knight's creed."
"But, you guys don't have the knight credentials handed out by the Holy Martial Association either, right?" Ji Bai was silent for a moment and slowly spoke.
"Is your understanding of knights limited to that certificate that is less than the palm of your hand?" The corner of Lan Yi's mouth hooked up a smile with a hint of mockery.
"Who is more like a knight? A knight who has a formal knight's credentials who does wrong and bullies men and women? Or an ordinary person who has a sincere heart and saves others in times of trouble?" Lan Yi seems to be questioning Ji Bai, but also seems to be talking to herself.
Ji Bai froze for a moment as the rampage of the four young knights flashed in his mind.
"But, to be honest, I don't want you to join."
"Eh eh?" Ji Bai revealed a slightly incomprehensible gaze, but Lan Yi did not make too much explanation, leaned down and stroked the small head of a certain timid kitten.
"In this world, more people like you exist, and the war must be much less, right?" Lan Yi left such a meaningful sentence, then asked Lin Tuo to leave.
"I have a question."
"Just ask something about no secrets involved, within the scope of what I know." Lan Yi did not turn around.
"Where are you taking this kitten?"
"Ask her for advice. We can send her back to her homeland ..... Don't be surprised, we have the ability to do that. If she doesn't want to go back, she can also choose to stay at our headquarters, she won't be treated badly. In short, see what she thinks."
"..... So like this?"
"Then, teenager, make your decision. It's getting late." Lan Yi looked back at Ji Bai behind her.
"...... Allow me to refuse." After a short hesitation, Ji Bai still chose to refuse Lan Yi's proposal, which was also the result he came up with after deep consideration.
After being cursed by vampires, he was no longer worthy of being a knight, even if he was undocumented ...... Now he is free from the vampire castle, Ji Bai just wants to have a job and be an ordinary person for the rest of his life, occasionally to work as a support crew, summoner or other common posts. Ji Bai doesn’t want to make more trouble to humans, which is the last thing he can do as a 'dead' knight.
"All right ~" Lan Yi smiled, waved her hand to indicate that Lin Tuo was leaving, and she crouched in front of the cat-eared girl. "Come with us. Don't worry, we will send you back to your hometown safely~"
Lan Yi, who had been cold-faced, bloomed into a gentle smile at this moment.
"Meow~?" The kitten shook its head, looked at the kind Lan Yi in front of it and then looked at the silent Ji Bai. All of a sudden it shrank down to the side of Ji Bai's trouser leg.
"This girl really likes you."
"....." Ji Bai looked at the cat-eared girl that grabbed his pants and didn’t want to go away helplessly . He doesn’t think that animals like him so much.
