I, a mercenary, became a beautiful silver-haired boy

Go out?

Elena raised his eyebrows. If he wanted to go out, he definitely wanted to go out. Even if he could stand loneliness, who would be willing to stay in such a dark place?

If you work hard for nothing, you are either a traitor or a thief. Looking at the other person's black hair, Elena couldn't help but think of this saying that is popular in the East.

Elena and Xiaoyue were not related. The other person showed good intentions right away without any preparation. It was hard not to think that the other person had other intentions.

"No."

Elena turned his head away, looking uninterested. He was not in a hurry at all. Anyway, he would be able to go out sooner or later, and there was no need to owe others a favor.

"Elena, I know what you are thinking. Judging from your expression, you must think that you will be able to get out sooner or later, right?

I can tell you clearly that we will not keep you locked up forever. You can say that you are innocent and we will not charge you with any crime.

Although we will not charge you with any crime, it does not mean that we will like your behavior. You did defeat the wanted criminal, but apart from that, your behavior is also trespassing."

Xiaoyue squinted and said seriously. She was negotiating terms and naturally had some bargaining chips in her hand. She was still very confident that Elena would accept her proposal.

"To be honest, you can't get out in the short term. We are ready to lock you up for more than half a year. Apart from that, we will not embarrass you. We will just lock you up as a warning to prevent others from following suit."

Hearing that he would be locked up for half a year, Elena had to admit that he was a little shaken. He thought that he would only be locked up for a month at most. If it was longer, he would feel a little dissatisfied.

The other party didn't seem to be trying to scare him. Just now, they saw Xiaoyue sitting on an equal footing with the warden. They could come to their cell and sit alone. It was reasonable for them to know some news.

"I know you are a person who can endure loneliness, but sister, let me remind you that there is a kind and beautiful sister waiting for you at home. She is different from me and really cares about you. You shouldn't think of letting her sleep badly every day because of you, right?"

Before coming here, Xiaoyue had obviously done a good investigation and was very clear about Elena's status in the orphanage and her relationship with Sister Weiwei.

As soon as she opened her mouth, she directly hit Elena's soft spot. Not seeing her own sister Weiwei for half a year was a very torturous thing for both him and Weiwei.

"What do you want me to do?"

Elena was silent for a while and no longer ignored Xiaoyue intentionally. He had to face the conditions proposed by others. If it was not something particularly reluctant, he would consider accepting it.

After all, it was a bit of torture for him to stay here for half a month. It was okay if he was alone, but he was really worried about Weiwei.

Stanford was dead, but the people behind Stanford were still active outside. Who knows if they would have any ideas about the treasures of the God of Light left in the orphanage, and whether they would send people to harm the people in the orphanage.

"It's a bit complicated to say it. To put it simply, I need you, we need you. Join us, Elena, the Red Lotus Knights welcome you."

Seeing Elena waver, Xiaoyue showed a familiar smile again, and stretched out her hand to the silver-haired boy with expectant eyes.

"Red Lotus Knights?"

Elena frowned when she heard the word Knights. Although it was not accurate to say so, most of the people who called themselves Knights in the Kingdom of Solens were official personnel, and they basically worked for the kingdom.

To put it bluntly, Xiaoyue wanted to recruit Elena and let him work for the Knights or the kingdom behind the Knights.

"Why me?"

Ilaina was a little puzzled. According to his little understanding of knights, it was not easy to join a knight order.

Since the knight order was called the knight order, most of them called themselves knights, and their own professions were mostly knights.

The assessment of knights was quite strict, more difficult and more clear than the assessment of other professions. There were very few cases where lucky people became knights.

Even the weakest lower-level knights basically grew up holding swords and learning knight etiquette. Strength, knowledge and even family background were the criteria for assessment.

Being able to become a knight in this country was a very glorious thing, just like the profession that was called an iron rice bowl in the previous life, and most people wanted to become one.

The more people wanted to be, the fewer people could really become knights. After all, it was impossible to let knights be everywhere, right? The kingdom had to maintain the impression of the existence of knights.

Even if most people set knights as their goal since childhood, only a small number of people really realized their dreams, and the others could only be calledAs a knight apprentice, you can't even get a knight's professional certificate.

Generally, in this case, you can only become an adventurer and use your knight skills to get a warrior's professional certificate.

Now Xiaoyue is clearly letting Elena bypass various assessments and directly become a member of the so-called Knights.

Of course, it is not as a knight, but to perform another duty in another profession. After all, not everyone in the Knights is a knight. There are also magicians and priests, and occasionally archers who are good at long-range combat are needed.

Elena couldn't figure out why this person named Xiaoyue was optimistic about him. He had just made trouble in the kingdom, and now he wanted to pull him into the Knights. This was not in line with the rules.

"Why you? It seems you don't realize it. An adventurer who went from a wooden card to a bronze card in just two months, who captured a wanted criminal and killed two other wanted criminals alone, and countless bandits died in your hands. The guilds and adventurers in the South City District all praised your strength. Why do you think we want you?"

Irina's puzzled look made Xiaoyue laugh. To be honest, with the strength Irina has shown now, no matter where she goes, she will be welcomed.

Even the Adventurer Guild in the North City District wants to win over Irina for development.

If Irina hadn't been imprisoned here, I'm afraid someone would have come to persuade her long ago. As for whether Irina can continue to maintain her popularity in the future, it is not something the Adventurer Guild in the North City District will consider.

If Irina can maintain her outstanding performance, the North City District will give appropriate support, but if she accidentally fails, don't expect them to support her or cultivate her intentionally. They don't plan to give her any more.

It is true that Elana is outstanding, but what this era lacks the most is genius. A genius who has not grown up is no different from a weakling, at least in the eyes of those snobby guild members in the North City.

Putting these aside, with Elana's conditions, most knights would still welcome her to join some smaller knight orders.

Just like the Knights of Inquisition who brought Elana here, if Elana is willing, they will most likely give her a way out, but the necessary assessments will still be required, and there will not be many concessions that can be made.
