"You want to be a Knight?" Erwin was startled for a moment.

"Of course, why wouldn't I?" Matthew feigned astonishment and said, "Wasn't it our dream when we were kids to become Knights and follow the leader? It's been so many years, and I've never forgotten. Would you be willing to introduce me to become a Knight?"

He finished speaking and looked at Erwin meaningfully with wide eyes.

Cadina's gaze kept darting back and forth between the two of them.

After some thought, Matthew added, "Of course, if you've already forgotten the oath from back then, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

With that, he turned around to leave.

"Wait!" Erwin hurriedly called after him.

At that moment, Matthew had his back to Erwin, but Cadina standing at the side saw the smile rising on the corner of his mouth.

Cadina widened her eyes and whispered to Erwin, "Don't mind him..."

However, Erwin seemed as if he didn't hear her. He stammered, "I was just thinking of introducing you guys... in fact, I've already started doing so. But I'm not quite sure if you would want to become a Knight with me."

Matthew quickly turned back: "You said you've already started doing so?"

"Yes." Erwin nodded, "I approached Bar, but he refused me."

"Wait, you said you approached him, and he refused you. Does that mean you're quite confident you can introduce us to become Knights, as long as we nod?"

"Yes."

"Then why did he refuse you?"

"Because he has to support his family and can't be without a job." Erwin shrugged.

"I don't quite understand, isn't being a Knight a job?" Matthew furrowed his brows, "Let me guess... hmm, the kind of Knight you're talking about doesn't come with a salary or land, does it?"

"Yes, it doesn't." Erwin nervously explained, "But it's a real Silver Moon Knight Order Knight, part of the Silver Moon Knight Order Fifth Squad. It was our childhood dream. You..."

He finished speaking, looking at Matthew full of expectation.

"Of course, it was our childhood dream." Matthew replied with a smile.

"Huh? You don't mind not having a salary?"

"Why would I mind not having a salary? Isn't the dream of being a Knight enough?"

"Wonderful!" Erwin grabbed Matthew's hand, "Then let's do this together! You're the fourth member of our Silver Moon Knight Order Fifth Squad now!"

"Is it that rash?" Matthew was a little dazed, then quickly corrected himself, "Oh no, I mean, I'm very willing!"

"Great!" Erwin embraced Matthew, "It's already late today, come to my house first thing tomorrow morning! Do you know where my house is?"

"There isn't a place in White City that I don't know." Matthew spread his hands and said.

...

The white moonlight illuminated the white city-state.

The cold, deserted streets were only lit by the faint lights coming through the windows on both sides.

Erwin excitedly led the horse forward.

Cadina followed behind him, trailing by about two meters.

"What's wrong?" Erwin turned back and asked.

Hesitantly, Cadina said, "I don't think you should let him join; he clearly has some special motive."

"But he was our companion from back then."

"He doesn't look like a good person at all; shouldn't Knights at least be good people? And didn't you say that faith was the foremost thing?"

"He has faith, at least he used to."

Cadina fell silent, continuing to follow Erwin quietly.

They walked on in silence for a short distance before Erwin quietly added, "If he really has changed for the worse, as a friend and companion, I shouldn't give up on him, right? I don't want to give up on anyone. Back then, all I needed to do was step outside and shout, and we could all gather together. We could do anything together; good things or bad things, it didn't matter. But now, everyone has gone on different paths; some people I might never see again in my lifetime. If I can... I really don't want to leave anyone behind for any reason."

"Is this what friendship is?" Cadina asked softly.

"I'm not quite sure how to describe it, but I think maybe it is." Erwin replied with a smile.

Meeting Erwin's gaze, Cadina gradually smiled, a lot less worried than she had been.

"Don't worry, my little princess. Now that we have four people, soon there will be a fifth, a sixth, a seventh, and an eighth."

"Yes, there definitely will be! We can definitely complete the formation of the Silver Moon Knight Order Fifth Squad!"

On the quiet street, Cadina raised her hands in cheer.

...

As they walked to the alley leading to Elvin's house, they saw from a distance a Knight standing by the doorway holding a horse.

Why was it said to be a Knight?

Because he was indeed wearing heavy Knight armor, lavishly embedded with gold, and his face was fully covered. The warhorse beside him was also heavily armored.

All the surrounding neighbors were stretching their necks to peek through their windows, while Elvin's father, Bart, stood next to him chatting.

Seeing Erwin and Cadina appear at the alley entrance, Bart immediately began to shout, "They're here! They finally came back!"

Saying this, Bart jogged over towards Erwin, "Where have you been all day? The person has been waiting for you all day!"

Pulling Erwin by the hand holding the horse, Bart dragged Erwin back quickly.

"Who is this?"

"Do you know the Fernandes family?"

Bart, out of breath, "dragged" Erwin to the Knight.

The Knight gently removed his helmet, revealing a cascade of flowing golden hair and an incredibly handsome face.
