Chapter 319 The Knights of the Future

After hearing the contents of the note, Malu understood why Levi gave him this secret mission.

The Shrike was killed by Levi and him "jointly". Levi relied on this achievement to make his reputation in the Paladin Order reach its peak, and he sidelined the leader Martin, and Malu also transformed from a new knight into a master.

Now there may be loopholes in this matter, and the people who will be affected are not only Levi, but also Malu.

The two are grasshoppers on the same rope, so it is reasonable for Levi to arrange him to secretly investigate this matter.

Unfortunately, Malu did not care about the identity of the master as much as Levi imagined, and Levi was not very nice. He asked him to investigate the case, but did not let him bring the witch.

Although there is no threat of activated plants in the city, witches are not a rigid need, and knight armor is enough to deal with most enemies. If it doesn't work, you can ask the Knights for help, and from the perspective of confidentiality, one person's action will undoubtedly make less noise.

But Malu was still very unhappy and planned to show off.

But he still had to pretend to be nice. He randomly picked a few lucky passers-by on the street and pretended to ask them about the Drinkers' Gathering.

As expected, these people said they had never heard of this name.

Just when Malu was thinking that he had almost lived up to Levi's cultivation of him, he suddenly heard a voice behind him.

"Drinkers' Gathering? I know, I know, it's a place where a group of uncles drink."

"Who said that, there are also big sisters there," another voice said, "beautiful big sisters."

"How did you spread this matter? Didn't Uncle Hal say that you can't talk about it everywhere?"

"But the other party is a knight, and the knight represents justice, so there must be no problem."

"Well, that's true..."

Malu turned around and found that they were still acquaintances. They were the group of children he had met on the street before, chasing him for autographs.

Malu had also let them sit on his shoulders, but now he has changed into new armor, and those children should not recognize him.

But the admiration in their eyes did not diminish. In fact, most boys in this city fantasize that they can become handsome knights one day, put on armor, and defend the Temple City with the witches under their command, and defend the last civilization of mankind.

Malu turned around and said, "Do you know where the drinkers' gathering is?"

"Of course." One of the boys who looked like a child king said proudly, "They are always changing places. One of our games is to find a new place for their gathering, hehehe."

Another little boy next to him, who was a little thinner and looked like a dog-headed military advisor, also said with his hands on his hips, "Nothing that happens around here can be hidden from the eyes of our future knights."

"Not bad, not bad, you can be knights at first glance."

Malu gave a thumbs up, and the group of children were even happier when they heard it. Someone shouted, "I will lead the way for you, the knight."

It was hard to refuse the kindness, so Malu could only follow them to a shoemaker's shop on the next street.

Before Malu could speak, a child rushed up and knocked on the door, saying, "Uncle Hal, open the door quickly, we brought a knight!"

"What?" A cry came from inside, followed by chaotic footsteps, accompanied by the sound of something being hit, and the sound of a bottle breaking, but at this time a voice suddenly said.

"Why are you panicking? Today is a celebration day, and you can drink."

"Yes." The others also reacted at this time, and after a while, the door was finally opened.

A man with a red face stuck his head out from behind the door, first glared at the group of children outside the door, and then looked up at Malu.

"My knight, what do you want to do in my shop? Today is a celebration day, and my friends and I drank a few more glasses. If you want me to make shoes, you'd better come tomorrow."

"No, I'm here to find someone."

"Who?" The man heard this and his expression became alert.

"Do you know Goethe?"

"No... I've never heard of this name." The man's eyes dodged, and he subconsciously twisted his neck and looked behind him. Although he quickly realized that something was wrong, he stopped.

This poor performance made Malu speechless.

If he could act more realistically, Malu could also take advantage of the situation and end the investigation, but this guy was obviously drunk and his brain was half a beat slower.

In front of so many people, Malu could only say, "I want to go in and talk to Goethe."

"Uh..." Hal was still desperately thinking about a reason to stop Malu from entering the shoe store.

But Malu had already squeezed him out and walked straight in.

There were about a dozen people in the shoe store, most of them were men, and their faces were flushed like Hal. The only woman was about 30 years old, plump, and was playing cards with two men.

Without exception, they all had the smell of alcohol on their bodies, but there was no alcohol in the house.

Malu looked around, "Who is Goethe?"

No one answered.

After about half a minute, Malu nodded and said, "It's okay... I have plenty of time."

After that, he turned around, closed the door, and pulled a chair to sit at the door.

This was Malu's new way of slacking off. On the surface, he seemed to be working hard to investigate the case at an important location, but in fact he was just staring blankly here to kill time. When the time was almost up, he would call it a day.

But Malu didn't relax for too long, and heard another voice, "I am Goethe. I wonder what you want to talk to me about, Sir Knight."

The speaker was a man with thin cheeks and a wide-brimmed hat.

"No, you are not! Sit down." Malu didn't want the investigation to move forward so quickly, so he directly refuted.

The man's face showed a look of astonishment when he heard it. He wanted to say something else, but at this time, the only woman in the room suddenly put down the cards in her hand and stood up.

"Since Sir Knight already knows that I am Goethe, why do you still ask even though you know it?"

Malu sighed, wondering if today is an international investigation day, why are people here so busy turning themselves in.

Goethe continued, "I know why you're here, and I can answer your questions, but I need a promise from you."

"What promise?"

"After I confess everything, guarantee my safety and don't pursue the crimes I committed." Goethe said, "I'm just a small information dealer, and I don't want to get involved in the struggle of those big men."

"Okay." Malu nodded.

"Then let's go upstairs and talk." Goethe said, and took the lead to walk upstairs.

There was no ambush upstairs, which Malu could see from the chessboard map, so he followed.
