At that time, the Knights of Light at the gate maintained a serious attitude and carried out their guard and protection work meticulously. Even though this place had never been invaded, it did not make them relax!
Soon, the group of Knights of Light focused their attention in one direction, where a young boy was walking towards them step by step.
The boy looked confused, as if he were lost, or perhaps he had some other problem.
This wasn't a question the Knights of Light were considering. What they were concerned about was that this boy was someone they had never seen before, someone of unknown origin!
The presence of someone like that here warrants extreme caution, no matter what!
"Halt! Who are you?" The Knights of Light immediately shouted, looking at the boy warily.
The boy stopped and stared at the door of the room in front of him. He remained silent for a while before finally asking, "Excuse me, where is this place?"
"Where is this place? Don't you know?" The Knights of Light looked at Ye Lang and asked with a hint of disdain. Since you're already here, what's the point of asking?
"Don't know?" The boy shook his head, still staring at the door in front of him, his face still showing the same confusion.
"This is the Cloudtop Palace! You don't know how you got in here, did you take advantage of the chaos just now?" The Knights of Light frowned and surrounded the boy. They suddenly remembered the chaos just now, and even they were preparing to take the Ice Crystal inside and leave.
To be precise, they had already taken the Ice Crystal down several floors, but after learning that Ye Lang was holding off the enemy outside and that the Pope had also stayed behind, they returned here to continue their work!
Because of this, they understood the chaotic situation just now. The guards might have been caught up in the chaos, or even evacuated, leaving an open door for the boy to break in.
The boy frowned, glanced around at the Knights of Light before him, and then said calmly, "You guys are really stupid. Of course I know this is the Cloudtop Palace. I'm asking you what this place is and what's inside?"
"..." The Knights of Light were stunned, all staring at the boy without saying a word.
"If you knew anything about this place, you would know it's a restricted area and you can't just wander in," the Knights of Light said. "We'll send someone to escort you out!"
The boy was taken aback and said, "Forbidden zone? I don't know about that!"
"Now you know, we'll send you out, and someone will take over later!" the Knights of Light said politely. Even though they were inexplicable intruders, they did not use violence and treated them with courtesy.
Perhaps this is because the boy appears harmless, which is why he received such treatment!
"No, I won't go down, I want to go in!" The boy shook his head and pointed to the room, saying that his purpose in coming here was to enter this room.
"What!?"
When the boy pointed to the room, the Knights of Light tensed up. What they were supposed to protect was in this room, and someone actually wanted to go in. How could they not be nervous?
"Who exactly are you, and what is your purpose?"
The Knights of Light questioned Ye Lang and surrounded him, looking as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
"Nothing much, I just wanted to go in and take a look. There seems to be something inside that I'm very familiar with..." the boy replied, shaking his head as if he had no idea what was going on, looking completely relaxed.
"Familiar? Impossible! You should at least come up with a better excuse. There's nothing familiar inside!" The Knights of Light immediately rejected the boy's words. They were certain that, given Ye Lang's status and circumstances, it was impossible for him to have access to anything inside.
Let alone a boy you've never seen before, even a high-ranking bishop within the church might not be familiar with those inside!
"But I have this feeling, it's right here, it feels very familiar..." the boy said, pointing to the room, unaware that the current situation was very disadvantageous for him.
The Knights of Light looked at Ye Lang, and they were a little confused about Ye Lang. At this moment, why hadn't he changed and was still saying the same things? Normally, people would find a reason to explain why they could go in.
Just as the Knights of Light was wondering, one of them suddenly said, "We just received a message from our brothers down below, asking us to keep an eye out for Young Master Ye Lang if we see him, and to inform them!"
"Reply to them, we understand! That's strange, how did they manage to notify us? Could it be that this Young Master Ye Lang came to our floor?" the leader of the Knights of Light said, somewhat puzzled.
"Understood! I've already replied! They said this Young Master Ye Lang's characteristics are quite obvious; he's a confused and absent-minded young man!" the Knight of Light said upon receiving the message.
"A confused boy? Where is that obvious? Who knows if he's confused or not... Wait, what did you just say? A confused boy?" The team leaders were still confused, wondering what was wrong with the people below and why they would use such strange conditions.
Being absent-minded or confused is usually a characteristic of a person's personality, and this personality trait can only be understood after getting to know them. Using this as a characteristic to find people is a very unsuccessful method.
Simply put, even if you encounter the person you're looking for, even if you know that person has these characteristics, you will definitely miss the opportunity and won't notice them.
Because these are characteristics that take time to become apparent!
In this world, are there any people who wear their absent-mindedness on their faces...? Unless it's this boy in front of me. He looks dazed at first glance. Wait, this boy in front of me...
The Knights of Light looked at Ye Lang and asked cautiously, "Excuse me, are you Young Master Ye Lang?"
"Yes! That's me!" the boy nodded, admitting.
That's right, this young man is Ye Lang. He came here step by step by following the familiar feeling he had before, and now his feeling is even stronger. He can feel that there is something in the room that is calling to him.
"Tell them that Young Master Ye has been found, and have them come to the fifth floor immediately to take him away!!" The leader of the Knights of Light immediately gave the order, and had someone contact the people below.
This isn't for the good of the people below, or to ease their worries. They're doing it for their own benefit. Now that they know Ye Lang 'Ye Lang identity, they won't do anything to make things difficult for him!
However, this does not mean that Ye Lang will not do it. He may still make things difficult for these Knights of Light, wanting to enter this room!
To be precise, it shouldn't be said that it's possible, but rather that it's 100% certain!
