“Yes, and if I remember correctly, that guy has killed several competitive knights who resisted the current system.” Zofia whispered, “But neither the Supervisory Committee nor the National Council found relevant evidence.”

“So you want me to be more careful?” Linley’s fingers gently pressed the girl’s shoulders and back. “How about the strength?”

“I actually hope you can be a little stronger… huh~ um… um… just this strength… um~”

What a beautiful and seductive music! If someone didn’t have good self-control… I’m afraid he would have already raised the flag!

“Is it really that comfortable?” he asked with a wry smile, and the girl nodded: “It seems that you have given massages to many other women… The level of massage provided by those girls in the beauty salons I have been to is not as high as yours.”

“Uh….”

“Hmph, no need to explain.” Zofia snorted, “It seems that what Margaret wrote in the letter is still a little too conservative… In addition, if you really want to deal with Charne, you must be very careful… He is a venomous snake.”

“I know, and my dealings with that guy won’t last long…” While massaging, Linley calculated how long it would take for Rhodes Island’s troops to arrive. “There will be a major power outage in the city in a few days. On that day, you and Maria should stay home and don’t go anywhere.”

“it is good.”

Realizing that Linley had stopped massaging, Zofia immediately climbed off his body—but she had no intention of getting off. Instead, she sat directly on top of him and said, “I’ve already told Bai Jin that you’re not going back today!”

“What… um…”

097.Where do you want to go?

Although she didn’t know why Miss Xinteleia had a gloomy face when she went back, when Maria returned to her aunt’s house, the girl who had read many knight novels and some miscellaneous books immediately realized what the sound in the master bedroom was at the moment.

The sound like a female cat in heat floated out from the bedroom intermittently. The sound was very ecstatic and made the little girl blush. “Well… I’d better go to bed quickly.”

When a familiar male voice came from the master bedroom, Maria suddenly realized why Bai Jin’s face was so dark. But her heart, eager to add fuel to the fire, made her applaud:

“As expected of an aunt! She has defeated Miss Xinteleya, who has been with Mr. Linley day and night!”

But when the next day came, it seemed as if everything I heard last night was an illusion.

When the girl got up, Zofia and Linley had already completed a series of steps such as getting up, getting dressed, washing, etc., and even when Maria sat down at the table in a daze, the two were already enjoying breakfast.

“Good morning, Sister Zofia and Mr. Lin Lei~”

“Good morning.” Linley waved his hand. “Did you and the King Slayer go to see those people yesterday?”

“Hmm…Mr. Lin Lei, are you and your sister helping those people?”

“To be precise, our target audience is those people.” Linley shook his finger. “After all, we are still a company. We need to make money to maintain operations, right?”

“But I feel like those people don’t have any money…”

“So we are cooperating with the government, and the beneficiaries will be those people.” The man explained softly, “But the premise for doing so is…”

“The local government must at least treat those infected as human beings, right?”

“Yes.”

Linley drank the hot milk in the cup in one gulp. His black eyes flashed with a black and red electric current. “Then tell me, Maria…what do you think Casimir thinks of the infected?”

“Building materials or just consider it as a good resource.” Maria whispered, “Whether it’s the infected people living underground or the infected knights… I’m sorry, Mr. Linley…”

“You don’t have to say sorry to me. After all, this is not your fault.”

Linley stood up and rubbed the girl’s head. “But you have a chance to get those big shots up there to change their minds. After all, both your sister and the Blood Knight have done it.”

“You mean the Knights Tournament? But my level…” The girl scratched her head: “Although you and my aunt have taught me a lot, I still feel that I am not good enough.”

“What you said can be used in actual combat, but in a sense, you already have enough theoretical knowledge and practice.” Linley nodded and pulled Zofia, who was yelling, “Maria, what did you just yell at me?” “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, after all, Maria is not wrong~”

“Don’t give me that~” The female knight rolled her eyes at him, but she didn’t continue to cause trouble for Maria. Instead, she took a deep breath and looked at the girl seriously: “Maria, we still have a choice now… It doesn’t matter if you give up this path. I will go talk to your uncle.”

“No need, but where is Mr. Lin Lei going to take me?” Maria shook her head, and at this moment, her golden eyes seemed to have a fire burning quietly in them.

“The black market, or the underground arena where life and death are not a matter of life or death.”

Lin Lei checked the equipment in his hand while comforting him: “But don’t worry, your life will not be in danger…” If the other side really wants to kill you, I will definitely take over all the black market and people for you.

“Also, that underground arena is not just filled with thugs and infected knights. The last time I went there, I even ran into the Grand Knight of the Boiling Blood Knights.”

“The Grand Knight of the Boiling Blood Knights? That Rusty Bronze… have you fought him before?”

“Yes, I stabbed him with a flying knife and he was sent to the hospital.” Linley shrugged. “That armor wasn’t as tough as I thought.”

“So it was you who caused that guy’s accidental serious injury.”

Zofia then narrowed her eyes, and her blue eyes examined the man with whom she already had an intimate relationship – how many things about this guy did I not know?

But it doesn’t matter. There will be plenty of time to uncover this guy’s secrets later.

Linley snorted twice and finished the fried eggs on the plate. “Don’t worry. In a couple of days you might see news of that guy’s accidental death.”

“Ah? You didn’t do that, did you?”

“Of course it’s me. After all, they want to fight me to the death. How can I refuse?” The man responded shyly, “But Maria, don’t worry. Most of the people who participate in the competition are there for money. They usually leave some room for error.”

“Really… That’s good, that’s good.”

Seeing Maria’s relieved expression, Linley smiled and shook his head. Those guys would indeed leave a way out for you… but that was just a way out. For example, in a duel, they would beat you half to death instead of killing you outright.

“I hope you can have the same mentality when the time comes.” The man thought so and stood up: “Then shall we rest for a while and then get ready to set off?”

“Row.”

But when Maria was ready to follow Linley, three guests came to Zofia’s house—Bai Jin, Li, and the King Slayer.

“Hey, where are you going in such a hurry~” Bai Jin asked with a sly look on his face, holding his chest with his bow on his back, while the King Slayer beside him walked forward very simply and directly:

“Take me with you.”

“And me~ Mr. Lin Lei, hehe, your name is so nice~”

Li also waved her hand very lively, with a look of regret on her face: “It’s a pity that Li can’t tell you her real name now.”

“It sounds like this is something that needs to be unlocked by gaining favorability.” Linley nodded as if he understood. “But we really can’t take you with us today, because we need to go to the black market.”

Nothing good will happen if the Knights of the Supervisory Council appear in this gray area. Similarly, as a member of the Helmetless Alliance, it is not appropriate for Platinum to go there, so the man directly asked the two of them to stay here.

Unlike what he had imagined, Bai Jin unexpectedly nodded, but then she walked forward and pecked Lin Lei on the mouth in front of everyone: “I can stay here and even help you protect her…but you must come back to the hotel with me today!”

098.Sisters

In the boundless wilderness, a number of off-road vehicles were speeding on it, and the signs on them showed their origin – Rhodes Island.

“If nothing goes wrong, we will reach the Great Knight Territory of Casimir tonight.” The bearded Fidelia sitting in the co-pilot seat whispered, “Are the other members of the vanguard team still following behind?”

“They are following us closely, but is it necessary to be so vigilant?” The guard operator who was driving asked in a low voice, “Ms. Froststar has performed very well in the recent field missions.”

ACE glanced at the rearview mirror and whispered, “Don’t have the intention to harm others, but be on guard against others. And do you think we are worried about that Frost Star?”

“Eh? Then which one should we worry about?”

“The former leader of the Reunion Movement, Tallulah Atrias, is also a member of the team.”

“Ah?! Shouldn’t that tyrant be in solitary confinement…”

The driver almost lost control of the steering wheel after hearing such explosive news. Fortunately, ACE next to him helped him steer the wheel: “I say, you haven’t fought with that Drake before, so why is it like this?”

“I didn’t fight it, boss…but I was right under the command tower at the time. You have no idea how scary that ring of fire and that ice layer were. I almost thought the end of the world was coming.”

The driver looked frightened: “Who knows how that Drijer managed to capture Drake.”

“By the way, who is the captain of that team?”

“That’s the Deruijie you just mentioned.” Lin Guang, who was sitting in the back seat, chuckled and said, “How about it? Are you still scared?”

“That’s fine…”

At this time, the blond Sarkaz who was also sitting in the back row looked at Lin Guang who was speaking with curiosity: “Hey, Lin Guang, who is this Drijer you are talking about?”

“Liz, that’s a very interesting person.” Another Sarkaz sitting next to the two said softly. Unlike Liz who looked like a fragile vase in white, this Sarkaz girl wore an extremely solemn black robe and held a staff sword in her hand.

The pair of calm eyes and long, smooth white hair easily reminded people of words like martyr and monk. At this moment, the monk codenamed “Shining” looked at Lin Guang with a smile on his face:

“Lin Guang, you look a little nervous… You didn’t react like this when we crossed the Casimir border just now.”

“Really? I’m just a little confused…” Lin Guang whispered, “I always feel like I’m not ready yet and I’ve returned to this land. I don’t know how to face my family and those who have been living on this land.”

“Don’t think too much. You are not only the Glory Knight of Casimir, but also the Glory Knight of Rhodes Island… We will help you.” ACE laughed proudly, “Nightingale and Shining, are you tired? Do you want to stop the car and take a break?”

Before the two people sitting in the back seat could answer, the driver complained again: “Boss, I think you are craving for cigarettes, right?”

“Aomame, has anyone ever told you that sometimes you’ll get beaten for telling the truth?”

Suddenly, cheerful laughter broke out in the car, and Lin Guang looked out the window while laughing softly. Although they couldn’t see the shadow of the Great Knight’s territory or the buildings, the female knight’s heart had already drifted over there…

‘Maria, how are you doing now?’

…Brighton Underground Arena…

“Ding…Ding…Ding~”

Unlike Margaret, who had a smooth journey and could enjoy the scenery, Maria wiped the blood off her face and raised her sword and shield again: “Hmm…”

Her opponent was carrying a heavy hammer and had a weird smile on his face, as if he had never seen such a cute opponent before: “Little guy, I don’t know who you are, but this place is not as easy as the competitions outside!”

“boom!”

The bald man in chain mail casually smashed the hammer on the floor of the arena, his slightly cloudy eyes carrying a hint of murderous intent: “Since you are a novice, I won’t kill you, but your limbs will most likely be lost!”

The man let out a sinister grin and charged towards Maria, dragging the hammer. The girl was sure that if the hammer hit her, she would be half dead even if she didn’t die.

At this moment, the stands were already filled with shouts. It was obvious that everyone except for two people was looking forward to the hammer coming into contact with the delicate girl. The King Slayer elbowed Linley in the chest, and there was no emotion in his red eyes:

“Hey, it looks like our little knight is going to flip over.”

“Not really. How could that top-heavy fellow be able to defeat Maria?” Linley shook his head. “It’s just that she hasn’t adjusted to the rhythm yet.”

“What rhythm?”

“The rhythm of fighting against desperadoes.” As the man explained, Maria dodged the opponent’s swinging hammer by turning sideways!

“boom!”

The war hammer collided intimately with the floor, releasing bursts of smoke and dust, and the girl took this opportunity to step on the handle of the war hammer.

“you wanna die!”

The knight roared and tried to lift his fallen hammer, but he was too slow. When he was about to exert force, Maria had already pressed her shield on the opponent’s face!

“boom!”

The girl knocked the knight over like a dump truck, but this was not enough to make the opponent lose his fighting ability, so Maria hit the opponent’s nose with the hilt of her sword without any hesitation.

‘boom! ‘

A stream of bright red liquid spurted out from the man’s head, accompanied by a scream: “Ahhhhhhh! I’m going to kill you…” Unfortunately, before the sturdy man could finish his threatening words, Maria’s third attack had already arrived.

The girl used her elbow to hit the knight hard in the face! The knight flew up and fell heavily to the ground.

‘boom! ‘

Maria silently raised her sword and slowly walked towards the opponent, the sword in her hand pointed at the opponent’s throat. The girl’s soft voice did not have any gentleness at all: “You have already lost!”

The bald man silently raised his hands in surrender.

“Ah!!!” A series of cheers came from the stands of the arena, but Maria just watched coldly and slowly left the arena.

099. Massacre

“Maria, what’s wrong… You look unhappy.”

Linley handed the fruit tea he had just bought to Maria, and the girl thanked him softly before sitting next to him: “Thank you, I’m not unhappy… it’s just…”

“Just what? Do you think such cheers are unworthy of you?”

As the man asked the question, thunderous cheers rang out from the audience again, and Maria frowned: “Mr. Lin Lei, do you know that when I was a child, I also went to watch my sister’s game.”

“Every time she wins, the crowd cheers similarly, even louder and louder than what’s happening right now.”

The girl’s voice was soft, but it was loud enough for the Kingslayer and Linley to hear clearly: “At that time, I thought everyone was doing this because they all liked my sister’s fighting, but now I feel… they are just enjoying the pleasure of fighting and the violence itself.”

“In a sense, you can understand it that way.” Linley stretched out his hand and scratched the girl’s soft golden hair. “But you also have to remember one thing… In a competition like this, only the winner has the right to express his or her own opinions.”

“I understand…so I will continue to fight.”

The girl nodded, and at this moment a very bloody scene had already taken place in the arena – the bald knight who had just been spared by Maria was now beheaded, and the one who killed him was a knight in black armor and holding a battle axe.

“Roar!!!”
