Chapter 339: The Kind Commander
As for the orders conveyed to Hobart...
Michelle knew very well that Hobert still hated him because of what happened with Blavender.
Therefore, this acting legion commander will not obey his orders obediently, and there is a high probability that he will even go against him.
The key is that Michelle can't do anything to him.
After all, the Holy Knights are still in Hobert's hands.
Due to Blyvinder's major reforms many years ago, the paladins now only recognize the legion commander and the token in the legion commander's hand, and do not recognize him as the archbishop.
Last time, he paid a heavy price for asking Hobert to mobilize the Paladins to besiege the city of Rezewitt.
He gave more than half of the few faith-related props made by Blevinde to Hobert.
Michelle had no more Blavender items to bribe Hobert.
He could only irritate Hobart with his orders.
The angry Hobert would definitely not let the sub-human girl pass the review.
"Since the demihuman girl cannot join the Judge team, she will not have the opportunity to enter the Demon Realm. Naturally, Miss will not be able to get any information about the Demon Realm."
Thinking of this, Michelle finally smiled relaxedly.
. . . . .
Inside the palace, Cross stood by the window and watched Hobert and Miss leave, sweeping the dust off himself.
He had a stern face and looked angrily at the tall figure's back.
"Is there any difference between Miss and me? Why were you so decisive in helping him, when you ignored me before?"
Nobo, who was standing by, raised his wand and used healing magic to heal Cross.
Cross pressed down his wand, interrupting the spell.
"It's just acting, the injuries are just superficial."
"Your Highness, do you think Hobert will really help Miss?"
Cross's expression returned to calm, his eyes deep, "It's hard to say, after all, I don't understand Hobert..."
After leaving the palace, Miss and Petra got on Hobert's carriage.
"Mr. Hobert, are you really willing to help me?"
Hobert's smile was as kind as ever. "When we first met, I said that Nora was a junior I valued very much. Now that she's missing, I naturally have to help find her."
Miss was half-believing and half-doubting. He really couldn't figure out the acting commander of the Holy Knights.
In order to find the location of the entrance to the demon world, he originally planned to disguise himself and infiltrate the Holy Knights.
But Hobert suddenly appeared and wanted to take Petra away.
Cross mentioned before that Hobert was an outsider and was completely unaware of the God King's gambling.
Miss then decided to try to go together, maybe he could get some information from the other party, so he brought up the matter of Nora.
To his surprise, Hobart agreed without any hesitation.
It was as if a trap had been set in advance, waiting for Miss to jump into it.
The carriage went further and further along the busy streets, and finally arrived at the outskirts, the shelter area where the subhumans lived.
There are many paladins guarding here, and the security is tight. It is not easy to escape or break in.
After Hobert gave some brief instructions, the excited Petra said goodbye to Miss and went home.
Miss and Hobert continued on the carriage for a while and entered the base camp of the Holy Knights.
The base camp looked grand and impressive at first glance, but there were not many paladins stationed there.
At this time, several old acquaintances came towards us.
The Judge team.
Miss looked at the five members of the team one by one and found something strange.
The previous demi-human swordsman is gone, replaced by a new blindfolded magician.
The team consists of five people, all of whom are transformation-level magicians with magic eyes.
The current [Judge] team can win even if facing a LV6.
The five people saluted Hobert and left. Before leaving, the four old members glared at Miss.
Just after Miss followed Hobert upstairs and entered the room, the Judge team quickly turned around and returned to the base.
They entered the building with ease and found a man, someone Meese knew.
The leader of the [Judge] Fox came to the table where the man was working, lowered his head and whispered, "Lord Abed, we saw Miss followed the acting legion commander back to the base."
The man who was concentrating on writing had gray hair on his temples. He was Abed, the slave trader who raised monsters in the city of Sojer.
Abed suddenly raised his head, staring at Fox in front of him with trembling eyes, "Who? Who did you say is here?"
In the legion commander's office, Miss sat naturally opposite Hobert.
The two talked a lot about Nora.
Miss was worried that he would reveal his flaws, so he basically did not lead the topic towards the Demon Eye of the Demon Realm, but the other party's performance still left him puzzled.
Hubbard told him everything he knew, without reservation, and did not treat him as an outsider at all.
Faced with this situation, Mis was confused.
The last time they met, they had a big fight, but now they can sit together and chat calmly.
But the more this happened, the more worried he became.
“Is it really a trap?”
Miss didn't dare to stay any longer and prepared to say goodbye and leave.
But Hobert stopped him and made him alert.
"Miss, we've been chatting for such a long time, but we haven't even talked about the thing that interests you the most. Are you leaving now?"
Hearing Hobert's words, Miss's eyes suddenly became sharp, emitting a chill.
However, this chill was fleeting.
He still had a flawless smile on his face. "Mr. Commander, what I am most interested in right now is Nora's whereabouts."
Hobart turned a beautiful golden ring on his finger, looking absent-minded.
"That's not right. Why do I feel that you are more interested in the news about your sister Lishia now?"
In an instant, Miss's smile froze.
He had never mentioned Lisia since he met Hobert today.
Hobert took the initiative to bring up Licia's matter, and it was obvious that he had been prepared.
Miss's heart trembled. He realized now that Hobert went to the palace in person, probably not to find Petra.
It was totally directed at him.
"Mr. Legion Commander, Licia is on your wanted list. Will you tell me about her?"
"Miss, do you want to know?"
The two looked at each other, as if they both wanted to see through each other's heart.
Miss's expression was solemn, as if he had made some decision.
"What price do you want me to pay, Mr. Legion Commander?"
Hobert smiled slightly. "It's very simple. It's the same as last time. I invite you to join the Holy Knights Corps and become a member of the Judge team."
At this moment, Miss thought a lot.
He wanted to know what kind of benefits he could bring to Hobert by becoming a paladin.
Why does Hobart always keep picking on him?
But he couldn't think of the answer.
