Ark, after I died, the operators started to love me.

Mike first went to buy a hot drink. There's nothing better than enjoying a hot cocoa on a cold winter's day.

Kazimir's geography is located towards the north of the land, and the temperature in early November is close to zero. If they travel a little further north, they will be able to see this year's snowfall.

The street loudspeakers were enthusiastically promoting this year's Knights Tournament. The excited young man believed he could achieve the life he wanted through his own efforts. As Mike passed by, he heard the announcement that Shining Knight Nearl would be a judge, and a smirk involuntarily crept onto his face.

After winning the championship, Lin Guang devoted all her energy to this mobile city. It's unknown how much of her past dreams she has achieved.

Mike remembered something else: since the Victoria incident, Shining and Nightingale seemed to have settled in the Grand Knights Territory. Would the trio of apostles remember their past travels across Terra?

Unlike Londinium, the Great Knights Territory attracts many people seeking opportunities every day, but even more leave dejected, and some, driven to despair, choose to end their own lives.

If this can still reveal their identity...

As Mike turned around, a Kuranta was standing in the bubble tea shop across the street, and she seemed to be casting curious glances at him as well.

His fingers involuntarily loosened, and the hot cocoa almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he reacted in time to prevent an accident.

Too much.

That's really going too far.

How did a top-tier Platinum member become a milk tea girl?!

Oh right, after Nearl returned to the Grand Knights' Territory, the Unarmored Alliance disbanded, and assassins of both the Iron and Blue Gold ranks fled one after another, so the Platinum rank was naturally useless.

But with so much savings, how could Bai Jin possibly become a "milk tea girl"?!

In the milk tea shop across the street.

Hinterlea was bored, propping her head up with her hand. At this hour, nobody was drinking milk tea. While she was slacking off, she saw a strange person.

Why do I say it's strange?

The former Platinum-ranked individual possessed keen observation skills. Reflexively glancing at that person twice, he felt as if he had seen them somewhere before.

The reason is also very simple.

His walking posture was familiar, and his back view also seemed familiar. Most importantly, he lost his composure when he saw himself.

16. I'm your fan!

This is a perfectly normal thing.

I can't resist beautiful women, I'm easily attracted to someone at first sight, and I lose my composure when I see something surprising.

Hinterlea subconsciously thought this was someone who knew her identity, and perhaps because of the huge contrast with her previous self, she almost dropped the drink she was drinking.

She couldn't think of any other possibility.

Actually, this wasn't the first time Cintraya had encountered this; similar incidents had happened several times before.

Some people were so scared that they paid a lot of money for milk tea and ran away without asking for change.

ridiculous.

Can that little bit of money really buy a life?

Hinterlea really wanted to complain, "Why don't you just use your brain? With the radiant Radiant Knight watching from above, who would dare to lay a hand on the Grand Knight?"

Besides, even though she was a working-class woman, she received special care and certainly wouldn't want to kill anyone.

White Kuranta can choose to leave the Great Knight Territory; no one will stop her, and she can find a place where no one can find her.

She had thought about it before, and she had indeed found a good place to spend the rest of her life.

But an accident happened, and the person she cared about died.

It was so close, so close...

If it weren't for my plan to sneak back and surprise him, if it weren't for the alliance agreement with my so-called sisters, if it weren't for...

There are no "what ifs" on this land.

Just like when she was forced to join the Unarmored Alliance, didn't she regret it?

Regret is possible, but it's useless.

The path you choose, you must walk to the end, even if it brings tears to your eyes.

After that person passed away, Cintraya suddenly lost her center in life.

She has plenty of money and no life-threatening situation; all she wants is to find someone she likes. Why is that so difficult?

"Ah, it's gone, it ran so fast."

Hinterlea narrowed her eyes slightly as the man across the street quickened his pace and ran away.

Let them run away.

She's not the only one who's afraid of her.

How boring. When do I get off work? What should I eat after get off work? What show should I watch tonight?

……

"This is terrible. When did my luck get so bad? I can see former operators just walking on the street."

Mike ducked into a small alley and finished the rest of his hot cocoa in one go, which calmed his nerves a little.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't be so worried, but that person is a Platinum. Hinterlea is a Platinum Grandmaster, and even though she is the lowest-ranking member of the Unarmored Alliance, she is still much stronger than the average person.

The key point is that she has a chance of seeing through her own identity.

That glance just now must have aroused suspicion.

Mike was avoiding Platinum for another reason.

Back when he was at Rhodes Island, there were some operators who had very close relationships with him. Apart from male operators like Phantom, Platinum was among the remaining ones on the list.

Facing an assassin who knew him so well, Mike was naturally nervous.

"We must proceed with extreme caution until we are safely out of the Grand Knight's territory."

I originally thought Kazimierz wasn't as dangerous as Victoria, but now it seems I was careless.

Hopefully, Andorn will act quickly.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

A young woman's urgent shout came from behind.

Mike turned his head and saw a knight with fiery red hair charging straight towards him with vigorous strides.

Her movements were incredibly fast, like a red shooting star.

In the blink of an eye, he passed by Mike and ran out at the other end of the alley.

Not long after, seven or eight knights in special armor came running from the direction the red meteor had come from. One of them saw Mike standing there and shouted, "Did you see a red-haired knight just pass by?"

"I saw her! She ran off in this direction and bumped into me. Who is she? I need to find her and get my medical bills!"

Mike pointed to the third exit of the alley.

The knights had no doubts and sped off, leaving no one to answer Mike's earlier question about medical expenses.

Damn it.

Mike's forehead was covered in sweat.

He was absolutely certain that the red shooting star that had run past a few minutes ago was none other than Sona, the leader of the Red Pine Forest Knights, the Red Squirrel, whose eight seconds was still too short for a squirrel.

The man was both amused and exasperated, and began to wonder if coming to the Great Knight's Territory was a mistake.

"Hey, why did you help me just now?"

At some point, Flametail Knight Sona reappeared behind Mike, her elusive appearance startling him.

"Are you walking without making any noise?"

"well enough."

Sona looked down at her metal boots and gently stomped her feet twice on the ground; the sound was indeed very quiet.

"It might be my racial talent... Wait, don't change the subject. Answer me first, why did you help me?"

"They were chasing you just now. If I'm not mistaken, you guys are probably having the Knights Tournament. May I ask if it's being broadcast live?"

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Sona's face: "That was true just now, but not now. The drone just flew by, and this alley is not yet in the audience's sight. You can answer me now."

To dispel Sona's suspicions, Mike suddenly laughed and said, "I'm your fan. You're the leader of the Red Pine Forest Knights. I know you; you're a big shot."

"So that's it."

Sona laughed; it was exactly as she had guessed.

As the leader of the Knights, he had achieved considerable success in competitions, so it's normal for him to have some fans.

Do you want me to sign your autograph?

"I've thought about it, but I didn't bring a pen with me today. How about next time?"

"Then we have an agreement."

The red squirrel nodded, turned its petite figure, and continued running forward.

Her battle is not over yet, and she cannot stop now.

She didn't expect to run into a kind fan on the street; it seems today is her lucky day.

……

Finally left.

Mike secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The girls in the Red Pine Forest Knights are not difficult to deal with. They are young, lively, and full of energy. As long as you sincerely help them, they are easy to persuade.

If it were a Radiant Knight or a Candle Knight who appeared before him today, he would be in big trouble.

However, he heard that the Candle Knight had retired and was no longer a competitive knight, so he probably wouldn't participate in the Knights Tournament.

"I'd better keep a low profile and leave as soon as possible."

With that thought in mind, Mike took out his phone and pulled up a partial map of the Great Knight Territory.

His target was the office of Rhine Life in the Grand Knight Command.
