CH 14

「There are recruitable knights nearby.」

「Number of people: 1」

‘Huh? A recruitable knight?’

Cadel's head turned at the system window that popped up out of the blue. However, because there were so many people on the street, it was impossible to find out who the knight was.

“What's the matter, Commander?”

Van asked, wondering at Cadel's sudden behavior of looking around. Instead of answering, Cadel held onto his arm and began scanning each passer-by with his eyes lit.

The knights in 「Hero of Knights」 were extraordinary in appearance, regardless of their rank. Just looking at Van next to him right away, it was like that. It was natural for such a tall young man to stand out among people, and Cadel was confident that he could guess the name of the knight at once.

Shortly afterward, Cadel found a tall man standing alone among the crowd.

‘Even if you put on a hood, you can't hide that handsome silhouette. He's a new knight.’

Cadel, who raised the corners of his mouth slyly, looked up at Van standing in bewilderment.

“I think I've found a good place. Let's go.”

It would have been difficult if the new knight candidate had entered the inn or headed to some back alley, but fortunately, the place he headed was a tavern called 'Emily's Hood'. He didn't know if the food was delicious, but he could see that most of the people who filled this place were knights or mercenaries. If he wasn't just a regular here, the new knight candidate also seemed to want to get information about Hermel City.

Cadel, who deliberately preoccupied a seat close to him, smiled at Van, posing as an ordinary guest. However, Van's expression when facing Cadel was not very good.

“Since when did you become a drinker, Commander? It hasn't been long since you got better. It's a pub again. In times like these, you need to eat well and healthily.”
