Swordsman Returns from Another World

Then, she solemnly folded the paper and placed it in a golden envelope, raised the seal at hand, and matched it with the heated scarlet wax.

On the envelope, press the shield emblem engraved with Pegasus and stars.

"Sister Zofia, I have decided to become a jockey." She whispered as she looked at the envelope.

This answer did not seem to be beyond Sofia's expectations. She clenched her left hand slightly, and then loosened it because of the pain.

"...I know. I went to Old Martin's place and saw the armor being prepared." Zofia's words were emotionless: "Do you understand what this means?"

"What do you think a knightly competition is? It's just that you prepare your armor, sword and shield, walk onto the stage, and fight with others with real swords and guns, and that's it?"

"Schedule arrangement, points acquisition, intelligence analysis... How many people have risked everything for this? What about you, Maria?"

Zofia's eyes showed reluctance: "Why do you think you have to take this responsibility?"

Maria sat at the table, silent.

After a long while, she looked at the envelope in her hand and whispered, "If we don't do this, the Linguang family will be deprived of their qualifications as knight nobles because of bankruptcy."

"A knight family without a long knight will not be recognized. Ever since my sister left Casimir and my grandfather passed away... my uncle has never thought of participating in the knight competition again."

"I understand why my uncle hates the Knight's Tournament, but I don't want the name of Lin Guang... the name that has accompanied Casimir for hundreds of years to disappear just like that."

"Sister...Grandpa...the things that everyone has been protecting may not disappear because of bankruptcy, but I want to try to protect them and understand my sister and grandpa, and what everyone insists on."

Just when Sofia was about to say something, suddenly, there was a sound coming from the door in the hall.

A tall middle-aged man opened the door and walked into the room. He was wearing a black business suit with gold accessories and looked like a well-dressed office worker.

But he wore a knight's arm armor on his right hand and a gorgeous golden sword on his waist, declaring his identity as a knight noble.

When he saw Zofia sitting at the desk, a look of obvious indifference flashed across his tired eyes.

Maria turned her head and looked at him, her uncle, Mainna Linguang.

"Uncle..." There was guilt in her words.

Ma Enna was silent for a moment, then whispered, "I forgot to bring something when I left for work, so I came back to get it."

"Don't worry about me, just continue." He lowered his head and rummaged around in the shoe cabinet.

Maria was caught off guard by this answer. She was a little surprised, wondering when her uncle became so easy to talk to.

Maybe something to make him happy?

Sophia said, "Maena, don't you want to say hello to me?"

Maenna found a badge from the shoe cabinet and gently put it into his coat pocket. Then he turned to look at Zofia and said in a deep voice, "Good afternoon, Zofia... Knight."

He emphasized the word "knight", and I don't know what he was implying.

Sofia remained silent, staring into Mainna's eyes for a long time, then sighed.

"…Maena, don't you want to say something to Maria? I don't believe you know nothing."

Maenna paused, then responded coldly: "What do you want me to say to stop her stupid behavior?"

"The Linguang family does not need the current Casimir. The glory represented by the name Linguang...Casimi is not worthy of it."

"And now, she wants to go on stage and become the one who attracts attention but overestimates her own capabilities, to cover the last glory represented by the name of Lin Guang with dust."

Chapter 551: Maenna Lives in Bengbu

Mainna's words sounded too straightforward. Not only did they show contempt for Casimir's knight competition, but they also contained a denial of Maria.

Sofia frowned immediately.

"Maenna...Zofia just wanted to protect..." She tried to defend herself.

"The name of Linguang does not need such protection!" Maenna interrupted her, holding his head high, with only fatigue in his voice: "The current Casimir and the current knight competition... are not worth the Linguang family's efforts."

He gently grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist with his left hand, wondering what he was thinking about.

Then, he pursed his lips slightly, as if swallowing back what he was about to say.

Zofia stared at him with a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

"...Maenna, you shouldn't be like this." She whispered.

Shouldn't it be like this?

What should Manna Linguang look like?

The Pegasus Knight covered in glory in everyone's eyes, the man who was once most qualified to become the new great knight, is dead. Mainna is very clear about it.

Casimir, who was protected by Pegasus, killed Pegasus with his own hands.

Unlike Margaret Lingguang, the knight on horseback in Mainna's heart had long been thrown into some corner by him.

Mainna's hand that was tightly gripping the hilt of the sword slowly loosened.

He responded in a deep voice: "The glory of the Linguang family will not only last in the era of war, but now, Casimir does not need it, that's all."

The glory represented by the name Lin Guang is still engraved on Casimir's monument, but now, people no longer need a living Pegasus.

The business association composed of countless companies controls the economic lifeline of Casimir. No matter where they go, the huge companies seem to have put reins and bit on the people of Casimir.

Even the most brutal and violent horse could only groan and lower its head.

It was for this reason, and because he had seen clearly the unstoppable growth momentum of the Chamber of Commerce, that Mainna had chosen his current path, integrating into it to the minimum extent that he could accept, becoming a part of it, even at the cost of suppressing his own nature.

All I ask for is one thing, to protect the last bit of purity of Lin Guang's name.

As long as he doesn't participate in the knight competition, as long as Lin Guang is just the Lin Guang in the history books, he won't be tainted by the smell of money...

In Mainna's eyes, there are no real knights in the current knight competitions.

"I should go, Maria. Your foolish behavior... If you want to try, go ahead. You are not your sister." Mainna shook her head with contempt in her tone, as if she wanted to use this alienation and hostility to make Maria give up on her own initiative.

"You can't win."

He turned around and tried to open the door.

But a sound came from outside the door before him, it was the doorbell.

Ma Enna was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand and slowly opened the door.

There were two girls outside the door. They seemed not to care at all whether they would disturb others and were chattering.

"Skadi, you have to be more obedient, okay? We have caused a lot of trouble when we entered the city. Do you know how many phone calls I made to solve these troubles?"

"I see, Grani... Honey cakes, any more?"

"Alas... there's nothing we can do about you. You have to eat sparingly. But let's go to the office later. The partners there will surely prepare a lot of delicious food for us..."

Mauna behind the door frowned at the two people in front of him.

One was wearing a uniform similar to that of the Victorian Mounted Police, but without any visible signs of any faction.

The other one was dressed like a hunter or a traveler, with a huge black sword on his back. He exuded a dangerous aura, but was about the same age as Maria.

"Excuse me, who are you...?" Mainna narrowed her eyes, realizing that these two people might not be her business partners or something like that.

Rather, he came here for other things.

Grani looked up at Mainna. The tired middle-aged man in front of him had exactly the same information as the doctor provided. It was hard to imagine that this man, who had been tortured by the Chamber of Commerce and had lost his luster, was actually... a member of the Linguang family.

Granny nodded and saluted, and said in a gentle manner, "Hello, sir, is this the Linguang family?"

"We are the field operators of the pharmaceutical company Rhodes Island, Grani and Skadi."

company?

Upon hearing this word, Mainna subconsciously perked up, which was a habit she had developed as a corporate slave.

But then he realized that Rhodes Island... that is...

Margaret...

Mainna's face changed instantly. He wanted to close the door, but Skadi stretched out his hand in advance and pushed against the door.

It was just one hand, and it was located at the root of the door where the force was most difficult to exert, but it made it impossible for Mainna to save even a little bit.

This strange power...

Mauna narrowed her eyes, with a look of vigilance in them.

Grani seemed to be completely unaware of the exchange between the two. He chuckled and took out a letter written on golden yellow paper from his coat pocket. He said, "We are here to deliver a letter. I guess you are Mr. Mainna? I thought I wouldn't be able to see you on a weekday."

"I brought a letter from Margaret Lingguang addressed to you and Miss Maria."

Looking at the two letters in Grani's hand, Mainna's breathing paused for a moment. He let go of the door, but hesitated and did not rush to take it.

Sofia walked over quickly and took the letter before Mayenna.

Then, she smiled kindly at Grani and said, "Thank you so much for taking the trouble to come all the way here. Please come in. Did you have a smooth journey here?"

She gently and warmly welcomed the two into the house, as if she was the owner of the place, leaving Ma Enna alone in a daze at the entrance.

Maria also came to the sofa with a smile on her face.

With Grani, the enthusiastic little pony, the four of them quickly became familiar with each other. After some thought, Mainna turned around and came to the sofa.

He wanted to walk over and say something, but was stopped by Zofia who stood up.

Zofia held the letter that belonged to him, pressed it against his chest, and whispered, "Maena, don't you have company matters to attend to? Then don't stay here, go and do your thing."

"...Don't make things any more embarrassing." Sofia's words were filled with advice.

Maenna held the letter in her hand and remained silent for a moment.

Margaret's letter to...

Mauna instinctively wanted to make a sarcastic remark and say something to continue to hide the turmoil in her heart.

Until I heard Maria's scream.

"What?! My sister has a boyfriend?!"

Maenna choked and coughed slightly.

That Brilliant Knight, Margaret Lin Guang... found a boyfriend outside? !

Chapter 552: In the Name of the Suffering

Not to mention Maria and Zofia, even Mainna lives in Bengbu.

Although Margaret had always been critical of Margaret's behavior, even he had to admit that Margaret was a true knight.

Again, if Margaret and Mary had not lived in such an era, they would have become the glorious ones that illuminate the earth.

Therefore, all along, Mainna didn't want Margaret to return to the present Casimir, and she would never let her fall into the quagmire that tarnished the name of knight.

But... uh, has the world outside Casimir changed you so much? !

How come you found a boyfriend without saying anything? !

Maina walked quickly to the sofa and reached out to Maria, wanting to take the letter.

But then he realized that this was not a good idea and his hand stopped in the air awkwardly.

Maria saw his unprecedented surprise and smiled. She waved the letter in her hand and said softly, "Uncle, do you want me to read it to you?"

Mayenna slowly withdrew her hand, stood there pretending to be reserved, and nodded slowly.

Maria looked at the letter and read it softly.

"Maria, when you meet Dr. White Glaze, you will definitely agree with me... He is indeed someone worth following."

"It's not limited to the knights wearing glory. In Rhodes Island, there are all kinds of people... They all gathered here because of a sincere wish, and they are willing to sacrifice their lives for it. This noble goal is so shining that even I am willing to move forward together."

"Rhodes Island's goal is to cure the infected, but my lover Baiyou has a much greater ambition than this. At first glance, you might even think it's the ravings of a madman."

“We want to heal the world.”

"Natural disasters, gods, and the disasters that have occurred on this land, whether they are caused by God or man... all of these are standing in the way of Rhodes Island."

"You may not understand what I am saying in the letter, but this is the path I have chosen, and I believe that both you and uncle will agree with it."

After reading this, Maria raised her head and looked at Maena, hesitantly saying, "Sister said at the end... First, I must let you read the letter for you."

After hearing this, Mauna suppressed her curiosity and anger and sneered, "You just left Casimir and embarked on the futile journey of a doctor. How much self-satisfaction can you get from it?"

"Healing the world, such an arrogant goal is nothing but a lie to attract supporters..."
