Swordsman Returns from Another World
Page 312
The so-called simplicity means that anyone can participate as a contestant as long as they come to the registration point and submit their information. They do not need to be a knight. This has become the dream road for many Casimirs who come to the big city for the first time to succeed.
As long as you make a name for yourself in the knight competition, you can gain wealth and glory, and you may even become a member of a new class of knights!
As for the complexity, it refers to the intrigues between the Business Federation and the knight competition. They recruit all successful knights, let those knights sign contracts with different companies, fight and compete with each other for their own companies, and create greater commercial value.
This also leads to the fact that in today's knight competitions, there is almost no so-called "lone wolf knight".
The most famous lone wolf knights in history are the Black Knight Mace and the Brilliant Knight Margaret Linguang.
The knightly competition has no room for true knights.
"Name?"
The judge of the knight competition paused, raised his head, and looked at the girl in front of him.
The girl pushed her triangular hood down, her eyes were indifferent and arrogant, and she said softly: "Skadi."
"Skadi... that doesn't sound like a Casimir name. How old is she?"
"……eighteen."
"Well, where is your hometown?"
Skadi tilted her head, looking a little silly, thought for a moment, and said softly, "Dripping Water Village."
"Dishui Village...Okay, the registration is complete, but little girl, I have to advise you." The examiner put down the pen in his hand, looked at Skadi, and said earnestly: "It is not a good idea to participate in the knight competition at this time. The initial points competition has ended. If you join now, you can only participate in the points melee with your initial points."
"That's not an easy win." The examiner frowned. "In previous years, the most people were injured at this time. Some people even became disabled for life due to untimely medical treatment. I advise you to reconsider."
Skadi didn't seem to care at all. She just pointed to the application form on the table and said, "Can I take it?"
The auditor sighed, pushed the form in front of him forward, and said softly, "Okay, take the form, turn left and go to register. Also, a friendly reminder... ignore the company employees at the door. They just want to sign some unequal contracts with you."
Skadi took the form back, looked at the examiner in front of him, nodded slightly, and then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "You are from Casimir, right?"
The examiner raised his eyebrows. What kind of question is this?
"Since you are from Casimir, do you know the story of the last knight?" Skadi whispered, "The knight who will defeat the sea?"
The examiner paused, then nodded, with a puzzled look in his eyes, and asked, "Almost all the people in Casimir know this story. What's wrong?"
Skadi replied quite seriously: "My lover said so."
"The Business Federation is like the ocean, but every knight here is the last knight."
"So, the knights of Casimir are more powerful than the ocean here."
Her expression was so firm when she said this that the examiner seemed to see the faith that appeared on her face when she first heard this sentence.
She firmly believed everything the man said and felt that Casimir's ocean would be conquered, just like the other ocean in her heart.
"Uh, your lover..." The examiner was confused and asked, "What you said is quite...philosophical?"
Skadi nodded firmly, looking silly and cute: "Yes, he is the best."
"Thank you, goodbye." She stood up, holding the form, and nodded goodbye to the reviewer.
"Uh, ah, well...bye."
After seeing off the strange girl, the examiner paused on the table and fell silent.
He looked at a bookshelf beside the table, where the reports for his daily work were placed. Under the dim light of the desk lamp, they were covered with a dim glow.
As if possessed by a ghost, he reached out and pushed aside the reports on the bookshelf, revealing a book at the back that had been placed there at some point in time.
The book was covered with a thin layer of dust. He loved reading it before he started working.
I just don't know when I let it go.
He reached out, took the book down, placed it on the table, and blew gently to blow away the dust on the book.
It makes the tall knight standing in front of the waves on the cover, riding a horse and holding a lance, more vivid.
"They are all the last knights..." He murmured, and his hand ran across the gold-embossed cover words. The dust was wiped away, revealing the original shining golden appearance. Even the eyes of the knight on the cover seemed to light up through the helmet.
He was silent, flipping through the book in front of him. After a long moment, he let out a click of his tongue and muttered softly.
"I should have signed myself up, too."
………………
"Grani, Grani! Here, here!" Carol raised her hand and waved.
The short mounted policeman who was rejecting other company employees in the crowd not far away turned around, and after seeing Carol's figure, he raised his hand in response with a smile and ran towards her quickly.
"Korol!" Grani put his spear on the ground, raised his hand and patted Korol's shoulder, his face full of joy: "How was it, how was your journey here? I was wondering if you would get lost!"
"It's okay. This place is really big... I almost took the wrong road." Carol smiled.
"I see you are very popular?" she asked curiously.
"What do you mean by popular? They are just a bunch of dog-skin plasters that want to deceive newcomers." Grani raised his head. "These guys like to deceive those who are about to participate in the knight competition. They use a set of obsolete equipment to deceive people and sign some unequal contracts to hinder others."
"Let's not talk about that. Have you finished your work?" Grani asked anxiously.
Carol nodded confidently. Although there was a hint of trepidation in her words, the smile on her lips made her look eager to try.
"Of course, I have already registered the company... The business license of the shop in Dishui Village can also be used as proof here, which is a pleasant surprise."
"Now, as long as you and Miss Skadi sign a contract with me, you can become knights with a registered company..." She took a deep breath, put one hand on her chest, and said nervously, "But can this really succeed? It's up to us to save the sister of Miss Margaret Linguang?"
"It's more than that, Carol, it's more than that." Grani held Carol's hand, his voice full of confidence and excitement.
"We still have a lot to do. The waves that belong to us in this city have just begun to rise."
Chapter 606: Viviana
Grani and Skadi are going to take part in this knight competition, and relying on Kroll's registered capital, they can avoid being troubled by salesmen from major companies.
We are already the company's contracted knights, and everything is done in accordance with the rules of the Chamber of Commerce. Does the Chamber of Commerce have any reason to be unhappy?
Or do you want to play business with me?
I'm sorry, the knight's treasure in Dishui Village is a huge sum of money. Although it is not as big as some large companies, those treasures are real capital that can be invested, not the company's working capital that cannot be taken out immediately.
Do you understand the value of our Dishui Village’s ancestors’ wealth? (Shaking his head)
All in all, for Carol and the other two, their situation is currently the best. They are recognized by the Chamber of Commerce and will not be targeted by any suspicious forces until they come to prominence.
Jian and Lin Guang have left Plot Zero and are moving forward in the city while hiding their whereabouts.
Maria and Zofia are speeding up their research on the next game, and the infected knights in Plot Zero have also begun to take action.
The white glaze restrained the white gold, and also attracted the attention of the Chamber of Commerce.
After drawing away the most important attention of the city, Baiyou's backup plan could finally be carried out without any scruples.
The Shining, stepping quietly, forward.
It was morning now. She was wearing a long black dress, dressed like someone who had just attended a funeral. She was holding a staff in her hand, but the top part of the staff looked more like the hilt of a sword.
She made an appointment to meet someone in a cafe.
Shining walked into the coffee shop on the corner with an expressionless face. The coffee shop looked very quiet and was located at the end of a street with few pedestrians. At this moment, the sunlight outside the window poured into the city through the large glass windows, falling on the bookshelves and green plants, creating a drowsy and peaceful atmosphere.
Shining continued to move forward, passing by empty tables and came to the place deep in the cafe. At this time, there were people sitting on the sofa there.
A person with deep and ethereal eyes, as if they can see through people's hearts, and with a face full of confusion and ignorance.
Blonde hair, big horns.
Gorgeous clothing in black, white and red.
It was one of Casimir's famous knights.
Candle Knight Viviana.
At this moment, she was looking down at the books on the table, with a cup of warm tea beside her, and she looked very focused.
"Good morning, Ms. Viviana." Shining said softly.
Viviana, who was reading, suddenly raised her head. After seeing Shining, she was stunned for a moment, and then smiled gently: "Good morning, Ms. Shining."
"You can just call me Operator Shining. I am communicating with you as an operator of Rhodes Island."
"Oh, okay..." Viviana nodded and watched Shining take his seat quietly.
After Shining sat down, Viviana said softly, "Operator Shining, please, may I ask, is the doctor here?"
Shining nodded, recalling what Baiyue had said to her before the action.
Baiglaze was connected to the Viviana line quite early.
Long before Baiyou left Longmen, the operators of Rhodes Island took the lead in finding Li and the great nobleman behind Li and gained their initial trust. At this point, even Shining had to admire the social skills of this "Babel Tower Evil Spirit, Rhodes Island Doctor, Savior of the Infected". No matter who the person was, even if it was just a correspondence, Baiyou could quickly gain the other party's trust.
After consolidating his social connections with Li, Baiyou immediately established contact with the Candle Knight with the help of Li.
This Candle Knight is no ordinary person. Even Shining has heard of her deeds. This knight is a rare type of person in the current Casimir Knight Competition. She has the code of being a knight and possesses powerful strength.
Bai You had a pleasant conversation with her. The girl who loved poetry and books quickly recognized Rhodes Island and was very happy to contribute her own strength.
So now, the Shining came to her.
After choosing his words, Shining said, "The doctor is here, but he has to deal with some other things now and cannot meet you for the time being. You and I will work together to complete all the details of this mission."
Viviana nodded. Although Baiyou didn't come, which made her long-awaited expectations a little disappointed, but as long as this mission could be completed successfully, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Margaret's visit...
Also, Dr. White Glaze.
When Viviana thought about what she was going to do next, she felt as if... she was in a poem, a legendary epic.
"What is the task assigned to us?" Viviana asked softly.
Shining lowered his voice and whispered, "Let's leave here first. Let's talk while walking on the road. This way the chance of being monitored is less."
Viviana looked embarrassed: "But, if I go out, maybe fans will come to disturb me from time to time."
Shining thought for a moment and frowned slightly.
Until now, she still doesn't quite understand why Baiyou wants to work with such a famous person.
But perhaps a celebrity would be more beneficial to the next plan.
After thinking about it, Shining compromised and said, "Okay, let's talk about it here."
"Right now, there are many forces in this city, which are intricately entangled with each other."
"The day after tomorrow will be the points melee. The first step of our plan will be implemented during the points melee."
Viviana nodded to indicate that she was listening.
Shining continued, "Your goal with me is to stop some people outside the venue... I need to tell you in advance that this matter may cause you to offend the Business Federation."
"...I have already promised him, so I will not go back on my word." Viviana smiled and said softly, "Bai You has told me the pros and cons of this many times in his letters."
"I believe in the miracle of Qie City, and I also believe in Lungmen's transformation of the infected. I believe in all the changes that Rhodes Island has made to get to where it is today. Therefore, I approve of Dr. Baiyou's plan." Viviana's words were filled with unquestionable firmness. Obviously, she was ready.
Although Shining had only met Viviana for the first time, she felt in a trance that the person sitting opposite her was a person whose brilliance was slightly less than that of Margaret Linguang, but equally passionate.
...As expected of the person chosen by the doctor.
Shining nodded and said, "Okay, it's decided then. We'll take a day off and then do what we should do."
"There is only one thing we need to do, and that is to stop the people sent by the Business Federation and the Wuzhou Alliance when Margaret shows up during the points battle."
Chapter 607: Mauna, you too?
The so-called points melee was just a background in the original plot.
But in fact, the so-called Flame Blade Melee is the cruelest battlefield in the entire knight competition.
In the original plot, Maria and the infected knight Flametail actually met each other in this battle, and it seemed that there was nothing special about the melee.
But in reality, the situation is different. Not everyone has eyes like spotlights that can lock on the real protagonist on the stage.
Not everyone can become the protagonist, and not everyone can hear and see all directions in such a melee.
Most of the newcomers who participated in the knight competition for the first time, or many knights who were capable enough but lacked the ability to respond, would be defeated in this battle where there was no identification of friend or foe.
Many knights would form alliances in advance and unknowingly besiege an enemy they disliked during the battle.
With the skills of this group of experienced knights, they could even make it possible for several people to surround and beat one person without being noticed by any spectators.
