People in America: My Uncle Don Quixote

Chapter 560 A Knight's Destiny is to Lay Down and Return to the Countryside (2-in-1, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Um... Don Quixote?" Levi asked tentatively.

"That's right!" Don Quixote laughed heartily, his eyes still closed, as if in a daze. "I'm glad you haven't forgotten me! It's been years, hasn't it?"

So, several years have already passed in Don Quixote's dream? Li Wei wondered.

Don Quixote closed his eyes and nimbly jumped off the bed.

With the blessing of the [Protective Beacon], his movements were much better than before.

He walked confidently to his armor, deftly removed each piece, and then put it on himself.

How long has it been since this scene last appeared? Li Wei said nothing, but stood silently behind him, watching him put on his armor.

The last time Heihiro Donquixote sleepwalked was more than four months ago, on the night he had just broken through to the Golden Knight level.

After Don Quixote put on his armor, he turned around, stood facing Livy, closed his eyes, and stood there as if he were sizing Livy up.

Just as Li Wei was about to say something, he heard Don Quixote speak: "Your aura has changed."

"My aura has changed?" Li Wei was taken aback. "How has it changed?"

"Wow, that's fast," Don Quixote said, his voice filled with surprise. "The last time we met, your aura only had a trace of divinity, but now..."

'

He stopped, tilted his head, and looked Li Wei up and down for a while. "You have almost shed your mortal body. You are just a little bit away from igniting the divine fire, ascending to the divine throne, and becoming a hero in name only, but a god in reality."

Li Wei paused for a moment, then couldn't help but stare at Don Quixote again.

"You're just one step away from success," Don Quixote said, his voice filled with pride and congratulations. "You will surely be etched in the annals of history and become immortal, and I will also be fortunate enough to be remembered by history for walking alongside you."

"Don't say that," Levi laughed. "I still remember the day we met, when I was your squire."

"Indeed," Don Quixote laughed, his armor jingling. "Coincidentally, I'm currently patrolling the villages under my jurisdiction, driving away goblins. Would you be willing to accompany me again?"

[Levi, the Golden Knight, you have met Don Quixote Cervantes]

You have received a quest: Assist the knight in clearing out the goblins.

[Task Reward: 0.1 Free Attribute Point]

Li Wei's eyes glazed over for a moment.

Helping the knight clear out the goblins seems to be the mission he had on his first day in New York, when he triggered the system and Don Quixote had his first sleepwalking experience!

"Of course!" Li Wei blurted out, "It's my pleasure!"

"Excellent!" Don Quixote laughed loudly and walked towards the door, the clanging of his armor seeming to celebrate. "Those filthy, stinking goblins who have been harassing the residents on both sides of the road can't imagine that two golden knights will be going to clean them up."

The two walked downstairs, one after the other.

As Elizabeth passed by her door, she heard a strange noise coming from outside and curiously pushed open the door.

"What the heck?!" She pushed open the door and was startled to see a gleaming suit of armor walk past her. "Honey, what's going on?"

Upon hearing the voice, Don Quixote turned around and "looked" at Elizabeth.

He immediately knelt down and said loudly, "So it is Her Majesty the Queen herself who has come. Please forgive me for not greeting her in front of the castle beforehand."

"Uncle Don Quixote, this is..." Elizabeth was completely bewildered and looked to Levi for help.

"Sleepwalking," Levi said briefly, pulling her aside. "In the dream, he was a knight, and I was his rider."

"My friend, you are the Empress."

Elizabeth glanced at Don Quixote, who was still half-squatting on the ground, with a mixture of amusement and exasperation: "So what should I do now?"

What should I say?

"Just tell him to pretend you don't exist," Li Wei said. "Don't worry about it."

"What do you mean 'don't worry about'?" Eliza rolled her eyes at Levi. "Sleepwalking is a medical condition, and in severe cases, it requires medical intervention and medication. I'll tell you, I have a relative named Vanderbilt..."

Li Wei was already used to it, and he responded to Elizabeth with a few hums and hahs.

Elizabeth sighed, carefully moved in front of Don Quixote, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Um... please get up, Knight Don Quixote. There's no need to make a fuss. Knight Livy and I came here in secret. Please continue with your business."

"Yes!" Don Quixote shouted, rising from the ground. "Then I'll go and carry out the mission with Knight Levy!"

Anya, who was in the opposite room, heard the noise from the hallway outside and came out of her room. She was also startled when she saw Don Quixote in his armor.

But she wasn't intimidated by the scene before her. Instead, she marveled and walked between Don Quixote and Livy, circling their armor and examining it closely. "Is this some kind of immersive tabletop role-playing game?" she exclaimed excitedly. "Can I join in?"

"Your Highness!" Don Quixote knelt down again, his armor clattering. "I didn't expect to see you here! It's been so many years. I wonder how the Great Lord of the North is doing?"

Anya accepted this premise in just one second: "He's in good health, thanks to Knight Levi's help."

"That would be wonderful," Don Quixote exclaimed. "Knight Livy is an upright, honorable, and selfless man." Livy coughed twice quickly. "Alright, alright, get up. We still have a mission to carry out."

Don Quixote then got up and continued walking downstairs with his eyes closed.

"What are you going to do?" Anya asked curiously. "Can I come along?"

"We're going to beat up the trash cans," Levi said casually, watching Don Quixote come down the stairs. "Are you coming?"

Anya gave a disgusted look. "Never mind, that's pointless. You guys go ahead and do your work."

"I find it quite interesting," Elizabeth said with a regretful expression, "but I haven't finished my business yet. However, I will help make an appointment with the Mellon family's private doctor. Uncle Don Quixote's sleepwalking still needs to be controlled a bit."

"It's an old problem," Li Wei said. "It's nothing serious."

"...Okay." Elizabeth hesitated for a moment, then nodded without saying anything more.

Livy followed Don Quixote into the living room and walked alongside him.

"You should have reminded me, my friend," Don Quixote complained as he walked away, "that the Grand Duke's daughter and Her Majesty the Queen were both here at the same time, and I should have been at the door to greet them before their arrival."

Li Wei smiled and changed the subject: "Where have you been traveling all these years since we last met?"

"I've been to many places," Don Quixote said excitedly. "In the eastern part of the continent, I dealt with several giant ogres."

"In another kingdom, I charged at a giant and protected the entire town."

"And then there were those predatory and ruthless robbers and nobles," he said, scoffing, "I beat them all up and took all their food and jewels, and shared them with all the people."

Li Wei listened silently as he and Don Quixote crossed the living room and headed towards the door.

Pushing open the door, the two walked through the fir forest of the manor.

The roads on both sides were paved with underfloor heating pipes and were spotless, while the snow in the nearby woods had not yet melted.

Don Quixote stepped into the snow without hesitation, making a crunching sound. "The goblins are hiding in the woods on both sides of the road. Follow me."

Li Wei followed. For a moment, the only sounds in the fir forest were the crunch of their footsteps in the snow and Don Quixote's breathing.

sound.

"That's great."

After walking for a while, Don Quixote suddenly said.

Li Wei responded with a "Hmm?"

"I still remember the days we went on adventures together," Don Quixote's voice came through his helmet, "earth dragons, Ascended Nights, dark elves, evil tigers... how many legendary adventures we went through together."

Li Wei almost burst out laughing when he heard this.

These experiences are deeply etched in his mind.

The "earth dragons" were the ones who punched and kicked the excavator. In the end, Li Wei took half a bottle of mineral water from the cab and washed his hair, treating it as a bath in dragon blood.

On the night of Ascension, Don Quixote asked Livy for help in warding off evil, and Livy spent more than half an hour swatting mosquitoes with an electric mosquito swatter.

The Dark Elves are Livy and Don Quixote beating up the robber Nikolai together.

As for the evil demon tiger, it's now Lily's adopted kitten, who just had a big feast a few days ago for Christmas.

Li Wei looked at Don Quixote and couldn't help but ask, "In your eyes, have we already experienced so many adventures?"

"Of course," Don Quixote said, turning his head left and right, looking around, "and now, there is no one on the entire continent who does not know the name of the knight Livy."

Li Wei suddenly fell silent and followed behind Don Quixote.

"From the fishing village on the westernmost coast to the northernmost desert, all the bards sing your story."

"Sing of the legendary undefeated record in martial arts tournaments that you created, a record that has remained unbroken for 500 years; sing of the legend of you and the last golden dragon."

Li Wei chuckled and shook his head. "The last golden dragon... has the news spread this far?"

Sure enough, what you think about during the day, you dream about at night.

Guillermo del Toro's publicity strategy was undeniably successful, even reaching the world of dreams.

"Shh!"

Don Quixote suddenly lowered his voice and looked into the distance, "Right there!"

Li Wei followed his gaze and immediately spotted the "goblin".

Not far from the driveway, at the end of the fir forest, a chubby Christmas goblin statue stood quietly in a corner.

This time it's not a dirty trash can; this time it's a genuine Christmas goblin.

"This is the culprit who harassed the villagers!" Don Quixote muttered.

Just as Li Wei was about to step forward, a hand pressed down on his shoulder.

"Let me do it," he said.

Li Wei nodded silently and stood aside.

Don Quixote cautiously took a few steps forward, crouched down to approach the goblin statue, then let out a low growl and charged forward, his armored calves slamming hard into the goblin statue.

With a loud crash, the goblin statue was pulled from the ground and flew to the side. The huge dent in its face showed that the knight Don Quixote was not just a name without substance.

Thankfully, Don Quixote's physique and strength had been enhanced, otherwise he would have definitely suffered a broken bone.

As if that wasn't enough, Don Quixote continued to punch and kick the deformed goblin statue, yelling, "You dared to harass the village! You dared to harass the village!"

Li Wei stood to the side doing nothing, yet saw a series of task completion notifications:

You have completed the quest: Assist the knight in clearing out the goblins.

You have gained: 0.1 free attribute points.

Don Quixote stood up, looked at the goblin, and said with satisfaction, "Now that the mission is complete, I can go back to report to the village chief."

Li Wei glanced at the deformed goblin statue, shrugged, and said nothing more.

After briefly recounting what had happened to Li Wei, Anya, and Elizabeth, they followed Don Quixote back to their room.

Don Quixote was taking off his armor piece by piece and hanging it on the clothes rack.

Breastplate, arm guards, gauntlets, helmet.

"Speaking of which," he said, his eyes still closed, his voice filled with emotion, "this is my last mission."

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "How could that be?"

Don Quixote smiled, his eyes still closed, as he continued adjusting his armor: "My friend, aren't you surprised? A golden knight, yet in a village, dealing with a goblin."

Li Wei nodded: "It is a bit strange."

"Because the kingdom is at peace now," Don Quixote's voice was cheerful. "I've traveled all these years, my purpose being to take up my sword and protect those I must protect."

"Isn't this what a knight should do?" He carefully placed the helmet on the shelf and straightened it.

"I have resolved all the injustices I encountered along the way," he said with emotion. "Now my last wish has been fulfilled. When I saw that you were just one step away from becoming a god, I knew that you were destined to become a legend. You would wield your sword and protect the Queen and those around you."

"And I," he patted his armor, "should also take a break for a while."

Li Wei fell silent, took two steps forward, and hugged Don Quixote.

Don Quixote, his eyes tightly shut, visibly froze when Livy embraced him, appearing somewhat flustered. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Li Wei said. "I will remember you, Don Quixote the Knight."

Don Quixote laughed: "Of course, how could I not remember? I'm right here."

“No, I’m talking about Don Quixote,” Livy said. “I will remember you.”

As if sensing the dejection in Li Wei's tone, Don Quixote patted him hard on the shoulder: "Don't look so down. I've wanted to rest for a long time."

"My territory, my castle," he said optimistically, "I haven't even enjoyed it for a few days yet!"

"A knight's destiny is to lay down his armor and return to his homeland," he said, stroking his armor with great pleasure. "As soon as it's light, I'll go back to my territory and enjoy myself in the castle."

"Will we ever meet again?" Li Wei asked suddenly after a few seconds of silence.

"Of course," said Don Quixote, "I will charge forward without hesitation for you, charge forward, charge forward!"

Li Wei nodded: "Then you must come to see me."

"Oh, by the way," Don Quixote seemed to remember something and walked over to Levi's side, "I want to pass on all my experience from the last few years to you, hoping it will help you with your promotion."

A dialog box suddenly popped up in front of Li Wei's eyes:

Don Quixote, the knight, wants to share his insights from his golden age with you. Will you accept?

[Accept/Reject]

Li Wei subconsciously clicked "Accept".

[Learning from experience...]

[Detected to have 1.4 free attribute points remaining to reach the Golden Knight limit]

You have gained: 1.4 free attribute points.

Li Wei suddenly widened his eyes.

"These are all my insights from the last few years," Don Quixote said. "I hope they will be of some help to you."

After saying that, he plopped down on his bed and started snoring loudly a few seconds later.

Li Wei opened his mouth, as if to say something.

But in the end, he just chuckled and said, "You really did protect me after all. Thank you, Uncle Don Quixote."

He gently covered Don Quixote with the blanket, then turned and went out the door.

"System, add points," he thought.
