After Taken as a Prisoner of War, the Vampire Queen Turned Me Into a Vampire and Made Me Her Daughter

Chapter 18: Choice

What? The Chivalric Order of the Moon? Ji Bai slowly put away his dagger as he sized up Lin Tuo with a flabbergasted look.

How about it? Do you feel flattered that a renowned group such as ourselves has given you such a high evaluation?

I have never even heard of your group before. Ji Bai shrugged spilling his innermost thoughts.

Cough! Cough! You you little youngster! Even if thats the truth; theres no need to be so straightforward about it alright? Life is hard enough as it is theres no need to burst someones bubble like that got it? Lin Tuo coughed a few more times to cover up his embarrassment and gave Ji Bai a nasty look.

Im sorry but I have never heard of this organization before. Does such a chivalric group even exist? Dont tell me Is it an illegal organization? Ji Bai tilted his head as he asked. The catgirl who was by his side shook her adorable ears; She had a clueless expression on her face that looked like a =A=. However in Ji Bais case on the other hand the glance he shot towards Lin Tuo was turning weirder by the second.

This assumption didnt come from Ji Bais prejudice or the lack of it. If this was a chivalric group that even he himself had not heard about then it was probably an unofficial group that was uncertified and unregulated by the Sacred Martial Association. To put it bluntly and simply such organization was a type of secret society that was likely founded by a group of dubious individuals meaning they would frequently do things that violated the law.

As he thought up to this point Ji Bai narrowed his eyes staring at Lin Tuo with a trace of vigilance.

Someone dressed in this western-style attire with a pretentious air around him was generally a dodgy person let alone the peculiar actions of the other party. Ji Bai felt that he was obligated to fulfill his duty even as a retired knight to catch this prick and send him to the relevant authorities if he ascertained that any of his actions were out of line.

Eh??? How can you have such thoughts youngster?! If anything else just look at this amazingly dignified and gentlemanly face of mine! How could I possibly have the slightest connection to those [derogatory terms]? Lin Tuo said with an eloquent yet forceful tone. At the same time he gathered whatever reputation he had left and moved his aged face closer to Ji Bai.

Thats enough you go to the corner. As expected a cracked bell cant ring well. Seemingly unwilling to watch any more of this pathetic excuse of a man the uncommunicative Lan Yi began to pull Lin Tuos arms and drag him to a corner. She then walked towards Ji Bai and met his gaze.

Like you just said we are indeed an uncertified and unregulated chivalric group. We are truly indeed seen as such in the eyes of the current government.

So You want to rope me into this ridiculous association? Are there any benefits? Will I be given old-age dental unemployment industrial injury and childbirth insurance with housing funding after I join? If all of these arent properly explained Im sure any sane individual would just blow you off instead. Dont you think so? Ji Bai bluntly and impolitely replied with a harsh tone.

Mhm however youre missing something. A sane person wouldnt treat a paralyzed demon in a small alley. Lan Yis eyes were as tranquil as a calm spring. The collective thought that all demons are considered evil has already been deeply rooted in everyones minds. I believe that the first response a sane person will do when they see a demon is to flee as far as they can. Following after they would hastily contact the Sacred Martial Association.

How do I know if your group isnt similar to those evil cults out there? Ji Bai looked at the little cat beside him; She was sitting with her knees bent and her legs beside each other a QAQ expression was on her face. He then averted his gaze towards Lan Yi.

We have already told you what our ideology is. Other than that our other creeds are no different than that of a knights. Also dont just go thinking that were so short on manpower that wed just randomly invite anyone without thinking. Quality before Quantity has always been our policy when it comes to recruiting any newcomers. Had your replies deviated by even a hair in the earlier test we would have quickly failed you. Yi Lan coldly replied.

I see in that case do you believe yourself to be a knight?

As I said we follow the knights creed.

But you do not have the knights certification that the Sacred Martial Association issues out dont you? After a moment of silence Ji Bai unhurriedly replied.

Is your understanding of a knight merely limited to its smaller than a palm-sized certificate? The edges of Lan Yis mouth formed into a sneer.

A knight who possesses an official knights certification that commits evil and oppresses the people. A commoner who possesses a sincere heart that willingly sacrifices himself during times of trouble to help the people. Which one resembles a knight more? Lan Yi said. It was rather unclear whether she was interrogating Ji Bai or talking to herself now.

As the tyrannical scenes of the four young knights flashed past his mind Ji Bai was lost in thought for a moment.

To tell you the truth I personally dont want you to join us.

Eh? Ji Bais gaze revealed traces of bewilderment. Lan Yi hadnt made any sort of excessive explanation. She bent down and stroked the small head of the shy catgirl.

If more people like you existed on this planet there would definitely be a lot less conflict. Lan Yi left that meaningful sentence behind before she turned around to inform Lin Tuo that it was time to leave.

I have a question.

As long as it doesnt touch upon any classified information and is within my circle of knowledge. Yi Lan didnt turn her body back.

Where are you bringing this little cat?

We will seek her opinion regarding this. We can send her back to her homeland Dont be so shocked we do indeed have that ability. Or If she is unwilling to return she can also choose to stay at our headquarters. We wont mistreat her anyways its up for her to choose.

Is that so?

Well then youngster. Make your choice. Its already late. Yi Lan turned her head back and looked back at Ji Bai who was behind her.

I must refuse. After a brief period of hesitation Ji Bai still chose to refuse Lan Yis proposal. This was the result of careful deliberation.

He was no longer suited to be a knight after being cursed by a vampire. It would have been the same even if it was an uncertified chivalric order Ever since Ji Bai left the vampire castle the place where light never shines he had only given thought of wanting to find a job and be a commoner for his entire life. Occasionally he would maybe become a part of the special forces or even a summoner however he would no longer cause any trouble for mankind. As a knight that was already considered deceased by society this was the last thing that only he could do.

As I thought~ Lan Yi smiled. She then waved her hands signaling to Lin Tuo that they were leaving after doing so she crouched in front of the catgirl. Follow us. Theres no need to be afraid well send you to your hometown safely.

Lan Yi who always had a cold expression on her face revealed a tender smile at this moment.

Nyauu~? The little cat tilted her head. She looked at Yi Lan that had a kind expression on her face before switching her gaze towards Ji Bai who was silent. In an instant she withdrew herself behind the leg of Ji Bais trousers.

This young woman seems to like you a lot.

Ji Bai was somewhat helpless as he looked at the cat-eared girl who was grabbing onto his trouser leg refusing to let go. He couldnt remember when he was popular with small animals.
