Swordsman Returns from Another World

But they were not dirty. Lin Guang could see clearly that their clothes were not dirty at all.

Even in a town like this, there is business. As the two walked through the streets and alleys, they could see small shops with colorful lights. The things sold in these shops looked good, even beyond Lin Guang and Jian's expectations. There was nothing missing, from various drinks produced in other places to traditional snacks of Casimir.

However, some snacks are even unpacked, and the items that were originally sold in bags have been broken down into smaller units - most children cannot afford a whole bag.

Jian stopped at the entrance of a small shop and cast a curious look at the snacks on the table.

The shop owner who was fanning himself behind the counter stood up, smiled and wanted to say something, but when he saw Jian and Lin Guang's mysterious attire, he was stunned again.

As if afraid that the boss would misunderstand, Mace said softly: "We are just passing by, no need to worry too much."

The boss didn't believe it easily. He just pursed his lips, narrowed his eyes, and looked alert.

Lin Guang sighed, pulled on the cloak of the mace, and said softly, "We should go."

Jian didn't move, and seemed to hesitate for a moment. Then, he reached into his cloak, took out a small badge, and waved it in front of the boss.

The boss' eyes suddenly widened. He wanted to shout out in ecstasy at first, but he covered his mouth with his hand before half a syllable came out. It was a bit funny, like a feathered beast with its neck strangled.

Then, he looked around, his eyes wide open, and said with suppressed joy: "Oh my God, is this true?"

"I... uh, okay, never mind. Whether it's true or not, what do you want to know?"

Lin Guang was surprised at his boss's change, but didn't say much, just listened quietly.

Jianze said, "I'm curious, where do you get the goods from? I heard that Plot 0 is under strict control by the Supervisory Committee."

"It is true that we are strictly controlling it, but the Supervisory Committee does not want us all to die here." The boss lowered his voice and whispered, "I don't know why you are here, but believe me, no matter what you want to do, the Business Federation will not agree to it."

"There are some old noble knight families who have some connections with the Supervisory Council. They can send us some things... People have to live and eat."

"The Business Federation is also involved in this matter."

Mace frowned and said, "The Federation of Commerce...has tacitly approved your exchange of goods and services with other regions?"

"Of course, the Business Federation is not a monolithic entity. However, when it comes to this matter, it is thanks to an incident that happened before. You should know it best."

The boss grinned and said, "Those infected camps in Longmen are the ones that took in the survivors of Qie City!"

"The Business Federation saw the huge potential they brought to Longmen, so there was such a change. To be honest, we all have to thank that doctor from Rhodes Island."

Mace nodded.

Lin Guang, who was standing next to him, finally understood.

Baiyou was determined to properly resettle all the refugees in Qie City and was willing to establish such a deep cooperative relationship with Longmen. The impact it produced was so... far-reaching.

The best way to get an organization like the Business Federation to accept infected people is actually...

Let these businessmen see the value of the infected, and see that treating them as human beings is far more valuable than treating them as tools.

Chapter 593: Gravel

After saying goodbye to the owner of the convenience store, Lin Guang remained silent.

The mace beside him said, "Do you care a lot? Do you care about the existence of Plot Zero, or do you care about the badge I just showed you?"

That badge was the emblem of Rhodes Island. As a partner of Rhodes Island, the mace naturally possessed it. But what Lin Guang didn't understand was why he could get information by showing such a badge to someone in a special place like Casimir?

She didn't remember that Rhodes Island had such a strong presence in Casimir. Who was transmitting information that Rhodes Island could trust to these people? And why didn't she know about it at all?

Logically speaking, Baiyou shouldn't have hidden it from me.

There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing.

So, Lin Guang asked: "Who is helping Rhodes Island inside Casimir?"

Mace did not answer her directly, but changed the subject, saying, "After Dr. Baiyue returned to Rhodes Island for the first time and contacted the Kalan Trading Company during the Qiecheng incident, Enxidios reached an agreement with Dr. Baiyue. At the same time when we set out from Kjerag to Longmen to meet with Dr. Baiyue, a newly formed caravan set out on the road to Casimir."

"Although this caravan had to remain hidden due to the relationship between Kjerag and Casimir, after much trouble, we were able to contact our target in Casimir."

"People like you... Lin Guang, do you think there are few people like you in this world?"

Mace turned his head and looked at Lin Guang, his eyes scrutinizing: "Do you think there are few true knights like you in Casimir today?"

Lin Guang frowned.

"No, there are quite a few, Margaret Linguang. There are still real knights outside your family. Maybe they are not as dazzling as you who stand in the spotlight, but they stayed in Casimir, while you were exiled."

"There are people in this world who are so sharp that they attract hatred, just like you and me."

"But there are also people who hide their talents and wait for an opportunity to strike."

Lin Guang replied softly: "In Cavaleliaki, there are such people helping us?"

"That's right." Mace continued, "Didn't he tell you before he left?"

"The Chamber of Commerce buried the spirit of chivalry with gold tickets, but that doesn't mean it disappeared."

"It's like a snowfall covering the earth. You can't see any color of the earth, but when you dig through the thick snow, you'll find that the earth is still the earth."

The two men walked between the dilapidated sheds, and Lin Guang remained silent.

"We are almost there. Soon, we will find the contact person. That guy is also a knight. According to Dr. White Glaze, he is an interesting person."

The two walked through the settlement and came to another new corridor.

This corridor can avoid the inspection of the Supervisory Committee and lead to other plots, or as the people in Plot 0 said, to the "city."

Most of the corridor in front of us is hidden behind a metal building. Obviously, if we want to pass through the corridor, we have to enter the metal building in front of us. It is obvious that this is the territory of the local tyrants.

Jian arrived at the door and pushed it open. The space inside the iron building looked like an old bar that was haphazardly put together. People were walking in a hurry. Apart from those who were pulling carts to transport goods, there were all kinds of guys who looked not easy to mess with.

Lin Guang was a little wary and pulled the hood on his head.

Jian seemed to be more adapted to the environment here than her. He looked around, twisted his neck, and walked straight towards a woman standing against the wall beside the corridor with Lin Guang.

There were obviously a lot of people in the building, but no one dared to get close to there. Everyone was afraid of her without exception.

Lin Guang was a little curious. For some reason, this woman made her feel a little... strange.

Pink hair, brown pupils, big eyes, and furry ears.

The Zarak tribe?

Jian brought Lin Guang to her, but before Jian could say anything, the other party spoke first.

"You guys are a little later than expected. Did you see anything interesting on the way?"

She raised her hand in front of her chest and saluted, "My name is Li, a fourth-level knight. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Jian nodded and said, "You should know our names. Let's go now without further delay."

Li didn't turn around in a hurry. He had a gentle smile on his face, looking gentle and elegant: "Of course that's good, but aren't you two worried that I'm not the real contact person? Why are you so confident?"

Jian raised his hand and rubbed his chin. His golden eyes under the cloak looked captivating and ruthless. "If you can't even connect the heads, then you don't deserve to be our companion. You'd better go home and wait for us to finish the job."

"If you are fake, we can just kill our way out."

Li was silent for a long time after hearing this, then he sneered and said, "As expected..."

"In that case, both of you follow me."

Li walked in front and stepped into the corridor first.

Jian and Lin Guang followed closely behind.

As the noise behind them was gradually forgotten, the three of them walked quickly forward, turning left and right through several branches in the corridor, and finally arrived at a branch road where there was no other people at all.

Li also spoke again, "It's basically safe now. If you have any other ideas, you can start asking me. Of course, I also have many questions for you, so please don't refuse."

Jian had no interest in speaking, but Lin Guang wanted to say something. But before she could open her mouth, Li turned around and looked at her, asking, "Ms. Margaret Lin Guang, I heard that you have a close relationship with Dr. Bai You, is this true?"

Lin Guang choked suddenly. This was the first time that her relationship with Bai You was mentioned in front of outsiders.

No, that's not right. Logically speaking, the relationship between me and Baiyou shouldn't be known to outsiders...

Lin Guang shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean. I do have a very good relationship with Dr. Bai... but what do you mean by this deep relationship?"

"Oh, look at my mouth." Li narrowed his eyes, revealing Zarak's unique cunning, and said with a smile: "I just have a professional disease. I want to say something weird to see Miss Margaret's reaction."

"I don't know what your relationship with the doctor is, but judging from your reaction, it may be very intriguing."

Lin Guang choked for a moment, then frowned slightly.

Her intuition as a woman told her.

This guy named Li in front of me... is not simple.

It’s not about strength or anything, but the reaction when white glaze was mentioned!

It reminded her of someone, someone very familiar...ah, yes!

This guy's tone and indirect tone are very similar to that of W! That guy always felt this way when he secretly learned about Baiyue's affairs!

Chapter 594: The Morning of the First Day

Although Lin Guang did not doubt Li's reliability as a contact person.

But she would doubt this aspect of Li as a woman!

What this guy said is so alarming!

Lin Guang was a little embarrassed and evaded the question, "The Doctor and I do have a very good relationship. This is no secret."

Li didn't reply, but just looked at Lin Guang meaningfully, then turned around and continued to lead the way.

The three of them walked for a while before Li changed the subject and said, "The situation of the Linguang family is not good at the moment. Maria has already appeared in the Knights' Competition. The paparazzi and lackeys of the Business Federation are closely following all the movements of the Linguang family like dogs smelling meat."

"So, Miss Margaret, it is not suitable for you to go home right now. Conservatively speaking... you have to wait until Dr. Baiyue's plan is over."

Baiyou had already explained this to Margaret, so Margaret had no objection.

However, Jian at the side had some other ideas and asked, "What about me?"

Li paused, chuckled, and said softly, "It's the same for Miss Jian. You can't show up in public. If the Business Federation knew that you're back, it would be a serious problem."

"If Miss Margaret's return forces the Business Federation to consider sending out the No Heir Alliance."

"Then your return, Miss Jian, will make the Business Federation take action at all costs. They may even use some means to drag the Supervisory Council into the water."

"By then, maybe the Silver Spear Pegasus will show up, and it will scare people to death. If that happens, we will have no choice but to find a way to escape from Casimir."

Mace replied in a deep voice: "No, Silver Spear Pegasus will not team up with the Business Federation to deal with me."

“But they will be wary of Rhode Island and white glaze.”

It seemed that the word Baiyu aroused Li's curiosity again. She smiled and asked, "Speaking of which, what kind of person is Dr. Baiyu? You are often with him, so you should know more, right?"

Jian wanted to say something, but the more vigilant Lin Guang spoke first: "This doesn't seem to be the time to talk about this kind of topic. Let's save it for next time."

Li raised her hand and scratched her pink hair, then looked back at Lin Guang. The smile on her lips froze a little, but she still said nothing, suppressed her obvious disappointment, and continued walking forward.

Lin Guang tugged at Jian's sleeve. Jian turned around and looked at her, meeting Lin Guang's eyes, which were narrowed with a warning.

Jian curled his lips, as if to indicate that he understood.

Knight Yao...your possessiveness towards Baiyou is a little too obvious.

Jian turned his head expressionlessly and licked his lips lightly at an angle where Lin Guang couldn't see.

Ah... I miss him a little. It's a bit difficult to endure it for a week. I'll have to think of a way to find him.

………………

Noon of the first day.

Markowitz waited until almost dinner time before Baiyou finally came back with a smile. He pushed the door and walked into the room with a gentle smile, like warm sunshine.

"Mr. Markowitz, sorry for the long wait. Hahahaha... Casimir's friends are really enthusiastic. More than a dozen food companies have come. It's really exciting."

"Does the tea taste good to your liking?"

Markovitz stood up quickly, with a respectful and humble attitude. He scratched the back of his head embarrassedly and said with a smile: "Ah, it is worthy of being the good tea brought from Yan Country. The taste is really great, haha... It's a pity that I am not a tea taster."

"The tea I drank the most in the past was bottled tea from Victoria, just like drinking a beverage, just to refresh myself."

"Really?" Baiyou said with regret: "That's a pity. Drinking tea is still a very good pastime."

"But it's a good thing that this is the case, so that Mr. Markovitz can have a good taste of the tea I brought. Come on, Valeria?"

Baiyue snapped his fingers.

Behind him, a tall woman in a fur coat leaned into the room. Valeria wore a mask, revealing only her scarlet eyes.
