Swordsman Returns from Another World
Page 314
This opportunity is not as simple as simply opening the cage.
Instead, he would be thrown off a high cliff like a young eagle, letting him witness with his own eyes an unbearable pain, and making him understand that the two children of the Linguang family no longer needed his care, so...
Allow him to shine without restraint and worry.
"...Uncle, Maria and I have grown up." Lin Guang murmured in a low voice, as if he was talking to himself, or rehearsing something.
Li didn't hear her mumbling, and said, "By the way, I've already settled our identities for today, come and take a look?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Guang turned around and walked to the table, looking at the three sets of identity cards on the table.
"Well... this one with Ark Knight written on it is yours." Li handed an identity card to Lin Guang.
Lin Guang took the ID card. There was also a set of equipment on the table, which was a yellow cloth strip and some identification items used to identify oneself in knight competitions.
"And this, Mace, your set is... Snow Knight?"
Li looked up, holding Jian's ID card, and looked up and down at Jian, who was dressed in black. "Excuse me, what does this outfit have to do with snow?"
"I like Shelagh's snow." Mace took the name tag and nodded.
"Well... okay, then I'll explain it now." Li clapped his hands, his pink ears trembled, and he seemed to be looking forward to future plans.
"These three identities will allow us to join the Sun Blade Melee Tournament in the next two days as strangers. There won't be many famous opponents in the Sun Blade Melee Tournament, but due to some operations, the schedule will soon change. Many well-known old knights will also participate in this Sun Blade Melee Tournament to earn points."
She glanced at Lin Guang: "Maybe you'll meet your former defeated opponent or something."
She turned her head to look at the mace again: "Oh yeah, yours too."
Jian sneered slightly. She still remembered everything that happened back then.
"We have only one purpose in going in, to mess up the Flame Blade melee competition. It would be best if we could knock down all your acquaintances in the melee, and then make a grand appearance. Well... it's best not to reveal your identity before the final appearance or before the real fight." Li shook his finger and instructed: "It would be boring if we make an appearance too early. We must make an appearance when there are only a few tough opponents left."
"This will definitely shock the entire Knight Territory, and it will also make it easier for us to escape after the fight. If we are exposed in advance, we might have to face a bunch of Silver Spear Pegasus when we leave the arena." Li looked at Jian: "It's okay for Lin Guang to be expelled, but you were chased all the way out by the Business Federation. Although the Silver Spear Pegasus don't belong to the Business Federation, they will not miss the opportunity to catch you."
"Well... that's all I need to explain. Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. We have to protect Maria's life in the arena. It's best not to let her get hurt."
Lin Guang nodded deeply.
The story is slightly different from the original one. As Rhodes Island's influence expands and Margaret frequently appears in Rhodes Island's external news, Casimir is afraid that he will be criticized for expelling Margaret, and he is also unwilling to see Maria become the new Margaret.
So, he decided to stop Maria in advance, and even wanted to solve the problem once and for all.
The Chamber of Commerce is too domineering, because they have the capital to be domineering. In Casimir, as long as it does not involve the high-end administrative system represented by Silver Spear Pegasus, they are the absolute overlords.
Instead of waiting for Margaret to come to Casimir and become a new trouble one day in the future, it is better to... cut off the other trouble first.
Anyway, getting injured in a knight competition and then retiring is a perfectly normal thing.
Lin Guang frowned slightly and asked softly, "Besides that?"
"What about Plot Zero?"
Hearing that Lin Guang was still thinking about Plot 0, Li smiled. She raised her hand and gently stroked her identity mark, saying softly, "Don't worry, the people of Plot 0 can take care of themselves until we can save everything."
Lin Guang nodded slightly and continued to ask: "We are done showing off? Are we going to run away? This doesn't seem to be the style of a knight."
Li didn't rush to answer him. She just raised her hand to open her terminal and looked at the several messages sent on it. After seeing the last one, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"After our debut, we have other places to go."
………………
An office in the Rose News Building.
"Hmm... Are you from the Columbia branch? You want to get first-hand information about the Flame Blade Melee Tournament, so you're here to dispatch vehicles and live broadcast rights in the name of the branch?"
The man sitting behind the desk looked up at the person in front of him.
The field operator put on a friendly smile and showed his press card certified by special companies and regions such as Black Steel International, Rhine Life Science, and Xiosta.
By the way, he took a suitcase to the table with his other hand. After confirming that there was no one else in the room and no surveillance, he opened the suitcase and pushed it towards the man across the table.
The shining golden light seemed to blind the man.
The man's eyes widened. He raised his hand to touch the money in the box and swallowed. It was too late for him to figure out whether the field operator opposite was an employee of his company's branch.
"...Okay, okay, no problem! During the Flame Blade Free-for-All Tournament, you can use the advertising rights on the big screens throughout the city!"
"Oh, that's really helpful..."
Chapter 610: Platinum is flustered
There are still two days left, but everything has been done and all preparations are ready.
White glaze can't help but feel a little boring.
Tsk, how come I’m so good at operations? Now that I’ve done everything I should do, what should I do next?
Bai You pursed her lips and looked at Bai Jin who was sitting upright next to the sofa.
With Platinum around, it is obviously not appropriate to do anything related to the Chamber of Commerce. Now is not the time to break up with the Chamber of Commerce. The Flame Blade Melee Tournament in two days will be the prelude.
Baiyou yawned and an idea popped into his mind.
Sooner or later, he would take Platinum with him anyway, so he might as well let her get familiar with Rhodes Island's style and the reasons why Rhodes Island... moved forward.
Thinking of this, Bai You stood up and stretched, causing his pajamas to become a little loose. When Bai Jin shyly shifted his gaze over, Bai You raised his hand and tightened the belt around his waist, blocking Bai Jin's sight of his body.
Bai Jin blinked, his face turned a little red, and he twisted his body, seeming a little at a loss.
"Wait for me here, I'll go change my clothes first, and then we'll leave here and go out." Bai You said softly, not caring whether Bai Jin heard it or not, and walked towards the bedroom.
Only after Bai You entered the bedroom and closed the door did Bai Jin feel a little relaxed. She stood up and moved away from the sofa where she had just been sitting.
Looking back, she could still clearly see the four dents on the sofa, the marks left by Valeria and Milana kneeling on it.
Swallowing his saliva, Bai Jin instinctively stepped back, away from the sofa, and gradually moved closer to the floor-to-ceiling window.
But when she moved to the floor-to-ceiling window, she was stunned again.
There are two handprints, one on the left and one on the right, on the huge glass of the floor-to-ceiling window!
The handprint seemed to be left by a sweaty hand holding up the glass. The fingers were long and slender, and the hand shape was symmetrical and beautiful.
The palm prints and details were not clear, because although the two pairs of handprints looked very obvious, they randomly smeared a blurry shadow on the glass, as if the palms were sweating and moving against the glass non-stop, as if...
The man holding the glass twisted his body.
Bai Jinqing couldn't help but stretch out his hands and compare them. The two pairs of handprints were so large that the owner of the palms must be a tall being, and there were two of them...
And judging from the position, if it was really left by a tall person, then this person must have been holding the glass in a nearly 90-degree bow. Thinking of this...
She swallowed, and the figures of Valeria and Milana, two tall Ursus women, flashed through her mind. They were so well-built and tall...
What on earth had happened in front of this glass that made him lean over like this and put his hands on the glass, moving his hands around?
The moment her fingertips touched the glass, Bai Jin felt the coolness of the glass piercing her fingers like an electric current, causing her to suddenly retract her hand.
No...I can't think about it anymore!
What are you thinking about?!
Bai Jin took a deep breath, but felt that his mind was filled with the smell of the white glaze he had just come into contact with.
"Mr. Huaiyou, what on earth are you..." She muttered softly, raised her hand to open the window, and the breeze outside the window blew into the room, making Bai Jin feel that the smell in the air was a little lighter.
She glanced at the two handprints on the glass, swallowed, forced herself not to think about it, and paced in the living room.
But even pacing in the living room became a torture. The soft white horse ears on her head twitched slightly, catching the sounds coming from the bedroom that was separated from her by a door.
It seemed like a woman's clingy and coquettish voice. A slightly hoarse and low voice, full of mature charm, rang out: "Husband? Are you going out?"
Then Bai You responded in a deep voice: "Well, I'll go out for a while. Bai Jin is here and she will go with me. You don't have to worry about my safety."
I will protect his safety? Bai Jin couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. She wasn't a very powerful person, at best she was a fourth-level knight. Could she really protect him?
But he trusts me very much... Huh, calm down, Xinteleya, why are you so happy about yourself?
Bai Jin calmed down and continued listening.
"Well... okay, I believe you, husband, but before you go... come, give me a hug."
"Milana, why are you so spoiled?"
"Yeah...yes, I just love to act like a spoiled child. If we can do nothing, I would rather stick with you all day. Okay, go ahead. Be careful on the road."
"Wait, Master...I want one too, please, please hug me."
Another slightly clearer voice joined in, which was clear but also had a strong sense of shyness.
Platinum's eyes twitched outside the door.
Those two women, one called him master, the other called him husband, what kind of game is this? It's really... unbelievable!
"Well, go to sleep for a while, Valeria, and stop making trouble."
A low humming sound came from behind the door from Valeria, which seemed to be an agreement with Baiyou's words. Then Baijin heard the sound of Baiyou getting dressed, the rustling of her clothes, and no more conversation.
The one or two words that she overheard just now made the blush on Bai Jin's face spread to her ears. She really couldn't imagine what Bai You had done last night.
After waiting for a long time, Baiyou put on his clothes, took a short stick as a support, and walked out of the room.
Today, Baiyou still has his original posture that is rarely seen. He looks thin, and although not weak, the deep dark circles under his eyes make people think of overwork and other causes of fatigue.
Before today, Bai Jin might have thought so, but after seeing those unconcealed traces in the living room and eavesdropping on those two loving whispered instructions, Bai Jin no longer had this idea.
The dark circles under his eyes must be caused by a woman!
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Bai Jin, let's go." Bai You said with a smile.
"...Okay, Mr. Huaiyu, please be careful and I will try my best to protect you, but my abilities are not something you can show off in this city."
Baiyou Yile: "If you, a Platinum Lord, can't even hold your ground, then the Wuzhou Alliance is too weak."
When Bai Jin heard the name of the Wuzhou Alliance coming out of Bai You's mouth, he choked and felt a little embarrassed.
Mr. Charney even told him about the Wuzhu League? They only talked for a few hours, why did the spokesman trust Mr. Huaiyou so much?
"Let's go, Bai Jin." Bai You continued, leading the way out the door.
"I'll be right there, Mr. Huaiyou, but where are we going?" Bai Jin took the bow in his hand and followed closely beside Baiyou.
"Oh, you know, I'm a businessman from Longmen. Longmen is recently implementing a policy to improve the treatment of the infected. I want to go and see how the infected people in the city of the Great Knight live. If possible, I can recruit some cheap workers."
Chapter 611: False Hope
Plot Zero.
Normally speaking, it is a place that most people in Casimir stay away from, but Baiyou, as a "distinguished guest" in the eyes of the Chamber of Commerce, wants to come and take a look.
Charne did not stop it because to him, it was just like... a merchant selecting goods.
It's always been like this.
Take Colombia for example. The great pioneering of Colombia attracts countless infected people. Even endless corpses are still very attractive under the dream of pioneering.
Because the status of the infected has already been as low as it can be. If slave owners regard slaves as their own commodities and ensure their health in order to preserve the quality of their commodities...
Then in many countries, infected people are even worse than slaves. Not many people will risk being infected and hire infected people, which means that infected people have no income!
Without income and being shut out of society, infected people can only turn to evil ways, such as violent resistance or deception.
Therefore, there are so many infected people who long for the dream of pioneering in Colombia, longing to become travelers in the wilderness, looking for a piece of land that truly belongs to them, looking for a piece of...
A place where you can live as a human being.
But most of the time, even if the infected people believe in Colombia's pioneering dream, they do not have enough physical strength and funds to support the journey to Colombia. To be honest, if they leave the mobile city, they will die of hunger or various sudden diseases within a few days, not to mention the threats such as robbers they will encounter along the way.
It is fortunate for the infected to be born in a modern mobile city, because they can at least find food by rummaging through garbage cans, and at least build a shelter in the slums.
But is this also a misfortune? They have no savings and no human rights. If they leave the mobile city, even the last bit of convenience for survival will disappear. They have to drag their sick bodies to face the cruel land of Terra, which will further deepen their tragic fate.
Colombia knows that the infected are a pain to other countries, and that the infected are an existence that other countries avoid talking about but do not want to let go. So, just like the oldest Sargon slave trade, Colombia sends caravans to various countries, bribes them with money, seduces them with beautiful visions, and takes away the infected who are a headache for other countries.
Victoria will give jobs to infected people, but the pay is greatly reduced.
Casimir allows the infected to become knights, but it is more like a charity.
Colombia promised the dream of pioneering, but most of the infected people who happily went there were buried on that vast, desolate plain.
As part of the dark side of the Business Federation, Platinum actually knows something about these things.
So when she heard Bai You say that they were going to Plot Zero, her eyes looked a little dim.
