"What happened to the fish! Did the fish eat your rice?"
The fishman opposite Nok gave Nok a dead eye. When Nok was surprised, he snatched the plate away, opened his mouth full of fangs, and poured the last dish into his mouth.
Gulu, the fishman swallowed the food in one gulp.
Nok looked at the noisy fish-man and wanted to give it a good beating.
Nok threatened sinisterly: "Hey, Xiaoyugan, you speak Common Language very well! If you dare to name me, I promise not to beat you to death!"
The threatened fishman immediately jumped from the stool to the table, stretched out his webbed fingers, pointed at Nok and shouted.
"Oh, I'm not scared! I was trapped in the city lord's mansion by that old man before, and I didn't even ask for mercy. Now this is my master's house, and you still want to scare me. Come on, I don't deserve the surname Ryan even if I raise my eyebrows. !”
The fish-man was jumping up and down on the table, looking as arrogant as he could.
The employees in the cafeteria looked unhappy.
The one being scolded was their employer, the owner of Reims Cathedral.
Just when they were about to denounce this bold fish-man, they were shocked to see Bishop Lane laughing out loud.
"Okay, okay, okay, you actually dare to yell at me, you have grown up! Oh, your surname is Ryan, you are going to heaven? Unfortunately, my surname is Ryan too."
Nok had already recognized who the fish-man in front of him was, but the fish-man obviously didn't recognize Nok.
After all, Knock has changed too much now and is completely different from what he was ten years ago.
Even though now he has shaved off all his beard, leaving only a mustache on his upper lip, and his hair is neatly styled, his face and figure are too thin, and there is a huge difference from the handsome look before.
It was understandable that the fish-man didn't recognize him.
Nok's recognition of the fish-man was also opportunistic.
First of all, he didn't know many murlocs, and there was only one person who dared to call himself Ryan.
Secondly, the long-dormant master-servant contract suddenly moved in his mind, which further confirmed the identity of the fish-man in front of him.
Blueskin, the fishman priest of Fisherman's Bay, was named Hope Lane by Nok and was contracted to become a servant.
Unexpectedly, ten years later, this fishman priest actually walked out of Fisherman's Bay and spoke fluent mainland common language.
This made Nok couldn't help but want to tease it.
After hearing Nok's words, the fishman Hope's arrogance suddenly dropped.
"You...your surname is Ryan? Are you also the master's servant?"
"No, I'm not, don't talk nonsense."
"Ah? Is it possible that you, like the eldest lady, are master's disciples?"
The fishman Hope was in a very depressed mood. Only when he came to the human world did he realize how powerful his master was.
The surname Ryan allowed him to avoid being hunted by many adventurers and successfully arrived in Lance City.
With the surname Ryan, he successfully joined the Reims Cathedral and even became the leader of the famous Shadow Wolf Knights.
Of course, this is also due to its special abilities, no one can compete with it for this position.
Relying on the Shadow Wolf Knights, it has become a very popular figure, and no one dares to underestimate it.
Even the former Pope Marcus used coercion and inducement to conquer it, and finally imprisoned it and the entire Shadow Wolf Knights in the city lord's palace, but it still did not give in.
But it knows that no matter how beautiful it is, it is all based on the master's reputation.
Without the master's banner, its knights would not even obey its commands.
Therefore, it only treats people with the surname Lane with respect.
Just like Miss Milady, even if Miss Milady wants to beat it when she has a bad temper, it will obediently stick its butt out and wait for the spanking.
This kind of behavior to please his master was something he learned a lot on his way to find Reims City.
Those who are called slaves are very good at this kind of people-pleasing method, and it benefits greatly.
Now I find that I have offended another person named Ryan. He is not the master's servant, so his status must be higher than his own.
This kind of person must not be offended, otherwise the master will be angry.
When the owner is angry, what should he do if he doesn't want it?
Fisherman's Bay doesn't have such delicious food or such exciting life.
Besides, the master will kill someone when he is angry.
Two days ago, it was released from the dungeon of the city lord's palace by the eldest lady. The first thing it did was to help clean up the corpses in the church.
The eldest lady said it herself, those were all spies and traitors killed by the master. (Milady blamed Nok for what he had done.)
It doesn't dare to make its owner angry.
The fishman Hope, who thought that Nok's status was higher than his own, knelt down on the table and apologized to Nok with all his prowess.
"I'm sorry, sir. It was Hope's fault. I shouldn't have offended you. Please forgive me for my mistake because I am a servant of the master. As the Holy Lord is my witness, I promise that I will never offend you again."
Although Hope's kneeling posture with two short legs was very funny, Knock couldn't laugh and even turned ugly.
Hope's movements were so natural that he didn't know how many times he had done it or how many times he had kneeled down for others!
The thought of his servant kneeling down for others made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Lanpi, get up, or I'll take your name back!"
This sentence was not spoken by Nok, but conveyed to Hope using spiritual magic.
After Hope received Nok's mental fluctuations, the whole fish was stunned.
"Master...Master! You are the master!"
Hope jumped up with excitement, slid down on the table, and instantly knelt in front of Nok.
It hugged Nok's right arm with its short hands and cried loudly.
"Master, my respected master. Hope finally sees you. Hope is so happy!"
"They all said that Master you are dead, Hope, I don't believe it. The master-servant contract is still there, so I know Master will be fine."
"But I didn't tell them. I only told the eldest lady secretly. The eldest lady asked me to keep it secret and didn't let me go to you."
"Master, I miss you so much!"
"Master, they are all bullying me when you are not here! Old Leo's woman secretly threatened me with a knife and asked me to seek refuge with her.
There was a very powerful old man who caught me, beat me, and even starved me, just to get me to betray my master.
But I didn't, I firmly rejected them. I know that the master will definitely come back to save me! "
"Master, Hope is finally waiting for you to come back!"
The fish-man had no eyelids, and Hope's tears were bigger than peanuts. They fell on the table with a crackling sound, which opened the eyes of everyone in the cafeteria.
The people in the cafeteria only knew that this fish-man was from the church, and that he was a more powerful fish-man than ordinary professionals.
The rest knows nothing.
Now in the whole cathedral, only Milady and Reina know the identity of the leader of the Hope Knights.
As for the members of the Shadow Wolf Knights, they all stayed in the city lord's mansion. Members of Rena's Wind Knights were responsible for providing food and clothing, and they were not allowed to show up.
The identity of the members of the Shadow Wolf Knights has always been a secret. Apart from the person in charge of the church, only the members of the Wind Demon Wolf Knights who cooperated with them knew it.
Outsiders only know that there are two special wolf riding teams in the cathedral, but they don't know who the members are.
Because whether they are members of Hayate or Shadow, they wear full armor when going out to fight.
However, anyone who has seen the Shadow Knights fight knows that the members of the Shadow Knights are extremely tall and obviously not of human size.
Only the leader was short in stature, but he was obviously not human.
Some speculate that Hope under the armor is a dwarf or even a goblin.
But after discovering that Shadow's leader actually knew magic, they ruled out this speculation.
Therefore, the new cafeteria employees don't even know Hope's identity.
But when they saw Hope holding Bishop Lane and crying, instead of feeling pity for the fish-man, they found it a bit funny.
But remembering that this fish man claimed his surname was Ryan and called the bishop his master, he was clearly the bishop's domestic servant.
Although the status of a domestic servant is equivalent to that of a slave, it depends on who is the slave!
Bishop Lane's slave, others have no chance to become him!
This fish man was indeed a fish they couldn't afford to offend.
"Okay, Hope, I don't like my people to kneel down at every turn. I don't know what happened to you before to become like this. But from now on, without my order, even if you die, you will not You must kneel down. Do you understand?"
"Yes, my master!"
Knowing that Nok didn't like him kneeling, Hope stood up from the table and jumped to the ground.
It is not tall at 1.23 meters, but if it stands on the table, it is taller than Nok.
But he couldn't let his master talk to him with his head raised.
Nok had a gluttonous meal, while sitting on a chair, he used the magic power in his body to break down and absorb the food.
While asking Hope how it got here.
Milady did not mention Hope to him, but simply explained to Nok the situation on the mainland, the current status of Nok's enemy Richelieu in France, and the general situation of everyone in the church.
After Knock came back three days ago to dismiss the church personnel, he fell into a deep sleep and had no chance to understand what had happened to the cathedral over the years.
Hope immediately studied hard at Fisherman's Bay and learned the knowledge left by Nok. He also used the opportunity of collecting tolls from the merchant ships to find out the news about Nok on the mainland.
First came the news that Nok was promoted to bishop, and then the news that Nok shocked Paris.
Then came the news of Nok's disappearance, and finally the news that the continent was invaded by the Dark World.
Unable to sit still any longer, Hope passed on his priesthood to the new priest he had trained.
In addition, the black-skinned leader has also learned how to deal with humans from Hope over the years, and there are also several fish-men in the fish-men tribe who can speak Common Language.
With no worries, Hope secretly sneaked onto a human merchant ship and smuggled into the human world.
But because it didn't know the way, it got off the ship at the northern port and was caught by a human slave-catching team by accident.
Then it was shipped to Paris to prepare for auction.
Hope was lucky and met a woman who was suspected to be the superior of the slave-catching team. After hearing that it claimed to be the servant of Nook Lane, she actually let it go, gave it travel expenses, and told it how to get there from Paris. City of Reims.
But even so, it still suffered a lot along the way.
Being chased and killed by the lord of the passing territory with his troops,
The villagers treated him as a monster and beat him up.
In the end, he disguised himself as a dwarf in a tattered cloak and finally reached the city of Reims.
After revealing his identity at Reims Cathedral, he was almost arrested again as a spy of the Dark Empire.
Finally, it remembered Leo next to Nok, and shouted for Leo to come out and identify him in person. Only then did it escape from danger and successfully joined the Reims Cathedral.
After joining Reims Cathedral, it followed Leo.
Until he met Milady and complained to Leo, saying that he could not communicate with the orcs.
Hope volunteered and stepped forward to solve the problem.
In the end, with his mental communication and deception, he succeeded in getting the group of orcs who allied with Nok and then smuggled into Lance City to obey his command.
As a result, Hope became the leader of one of the two Demon Wolf Knights.
And after learning that Milady and Nok's surnames were Lane, it immediately became Milady's secret follower and obeyed Milady's orders.
This is also the reason why Leo was unable to command the Shadow Wolf Knights in the end.
