Swordsman Returns from Another World

Baiyou smiled helplessly, nodded slightly, and moved aside so that the kids outside could see the water pump in the water room still working normally. Then he said, "Look, the water pump is intact. Nothing happened. Kids, I said I meant no harm."

"Do you know Flametail? Flametail of the Red Pine Knights, she's my friend." Baiyou's words seemed to be naturally friendly, and as he explained, the few little guys outside the door seemed to have put away some of their malice, but they still raised their weapons as if reflexively.

"Friends of Sister Flametail...?" The boy hesitated. The Red Pine Knights were one of the stars of Site Zero. Unlike the Blood Knights who had a somewhat cold aura, these members of the Red Pine Knights were more like the sisters next door in Site Zero and were very popular with the kids.

"Yes, I came to visit them today and happened to be out for a walk. I heard a mechanical sound inside and thought it was something strange working secretly, so I broke in to take a look." Bai You had a wry smile on his face and raised his hand to scratch the back of his head. "It seems that I have caused trouble for everyone. I am really sorry. I will pay for the repair of the lock in the future, okay?"

The boy frowned and thought for a moment after hearing this, then raised his hand in a very adult manner and said, "Well... okay, I'll believe you for now, but we have to go and ask Sister Yanwei to see if what you said is true."

Baiyue reached out her hand: "Of course! You are absolutely right, how about we go together?"

Bai Jin keenly realized the reason why white glaze was popular.

With his strength and his image in the eyes of the Red Pine Knights, he could easily overwhelm these children in front of him with a tough attitude. He didn't need to explain his actions to a group of children. Even if he knocked these little guys to the ground and taught them a lesson, there would be nothing wrong with that.

But Baiyou treated these children as a group of mature people and communicated with them in an absolutely equal manner. Hmm...

Is this guy so gentle to children?

No wonder...

Bai Jin looked at Bai You's shoulder, thoughtfully.

After Baiyou's explanation, several children believed Baiyou and took him out of the alley. During this time, Bai Jin also noticed that these children even asked several of their companions to stay in the water room to continue guarding it, obviously they were well aware of the importance of the water room to Plot No. 0.

Bai You was leading a group of children, smiling happily. The thin boy looked non-threatening and approachable. Surrounded by the group of little ones, he looked like a kindergarten teacher.

Just the short walk from the bathroom to the street was enough to let the little ones down. Bai You led them into a store on the corner, and when they came out, each of the little ones was holding a lollipop in their hands.

Bai You also greeted the shop owner. The owner, who was smoking a cheap cigarette, waved his hand and said with a smile, "Please tell the Flametail Knights for me, Mr. Huai, to wish them a triumphant return from the Flameblade Melee Tournament! Don't get hurt!"

"Don't worry, old Mr. Adam." Baiyou waved his hand and led the children away with a smile.

This scene left Bai Jin stunned.

No, it’s been less than two minutes since you brought the child in, and when you came out, they were already familiar with each other?

Baiyou raised his hand and rubbed the head of the boy who had pointed a knife at him five minutes ago, and led them forward happily.

"Platinum, follow me." As he passed by Bai Jin, he waved, still chuckling.

Bai Jin was speechless for a moment and just followed behind silently.

When I arrived downstairs at the Red Pine Knights workshop, I happened to run into someone coming downstairs looking for the white glaze Flame Tail.

When Yanwei saw Baiyou being protected by the children, he laughed out loud and looked at Baiyou with his eyes shining.

Baiyou rubbed his hands, came forward, and asked slyly: "Yanwei, I accidentally broke the lock of the bathroom just now. How much does it cost to compensate for this? Who is the most suitable person to ask for help?"

Yanwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at the man in front of him who was being acted like a spoiled child with his legs and arms entangled by a child, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

She suddenly felt an emotion she had never felt before, different from the two words "white glaze" mentioned in the newspaper, and different from the always energetic figure broadcast on the news.

At this moment, there was some mud on his black windbreaker, and the corner of his clothes was pulled by a little girl with a runny nose. The little boy next to him was holding his hand and eating a lollipop. He looked like a good brother next door who helped take care of the neighbors' children.

There is no more nobility, no more sense of oppression like a leader, no more alienation and coldness as if everything is under control.

He was right in front of him. He had just given him the life-changing medicine and contract more than ten minutes ago, and now he was getting along with these infected children so easily.

This made her feel relieved.

Yanwei swallowed, looked at Baiyue's smiling eyes, and squeezed out the tone from his throat that he didn't have the courage to use more than ten minutes ago.

Relaxed and happy, with confidence and relief.

"…It's pretty easy to buy a lock. Let's go buy it together later, Doctor?"

"But to appease the little ones, I think it would be better for you to change them yourself."

Seeing Yanwei's attitude, the boy before also realized that Baiyou was really a guest of the Red Pine Knights. He blinked and looked at Baiyou.

He seemed to want to apologize for pointing the knife at him, but Bai You saw through his intention and said with a smile, "Then, can this dedicated vigilante Lupo forgive my previous actions?"

The boy choked and then snorted, and the furry ears on his head twitched.

"Well... okay, the misunderstanding is resolved, I consider you not guilty!"

Chapter 619: Let's get started, Casimir

After changing the lock of the bathroom door and seeing the little ones off, Baiyou returned to the workshop of the Red Pine Knights.

"You are really welcome, and those little guys are more conscientious than I thought."

Baiyou walked to the window and overlooked the street in front of him. Although the buildings on Plot Zero were so identical and had always been under Casimir's strict supervision, he could still feel the pursuit of life by every infected person.

Before Yanwei could speak, Huimao spoke first: "Because this is the only way we can do. Even if we are children, we must protect the only homes we have."

"…Even though there are very few supplies in Plot Zero, and even though our lives are very difficult, we can still survive. It just requires all of us to contribute."

"Not to mention, we have to deal with the attacks from the Wuzhou League from time to time..."

She glanced at Bai Jin. Bai Jin didn't say anything. He just sat quietly on the sofa, staring at Bai You's back, as if he was the only one in his eyes.

When Baiyou heard this, he hummed heavily and thought about it.

Given Rhode Island's current economic situation, it is not easy to fund Plot 0, but it can be done if you really want to.

However, such long-term funding for Plot Zero is not a good solution. We still need to find ways to generate income for Plot Zero. For example, the original refugee camp could use the abandoned city plot on the wasteland as a treasure chest, create income by scavenging, and get through the initial unstable period. When the construction of the refugee camp and the new Longmen plot is completed, we can exit this operating mode at any time.

However, Plot Zero is located in one of the most important Grand Knight Territories of Casimir, and is itself an oppressed existence. The entire Plot Zero is like a huge cage that imprisons the infected.

Unable to escape, and unable to create more profits, the only thing to do is to live like this, which seems like endless internal consumption.

It is not easy to break this cage. Baiyou had previously prepared a way to expose the suffering of Block Zero, but he had not yet figured out how to make Block Zero generate income.

Knights' Contest...

Infected Knight...

star……

Baiyou frowned and looked at the plot number zero in front of him, and a plan gradually took shape.

………………

night.

Baiyou brought Baijin back to the hotel.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Valeria and Milana wearing cool gauze pajamas. The two tall women were leaning on the sofa, watching TV boredly. Two pairs of white long legs that seemed to be as long as Platinum's chest were placed on the table, on which were various strong liquors such as tequila whiskey, as well as a lot of snacks.

It seems that the day Baiyou came out, the two of them stayed in the hotel all day. It was obviously Milana's idea.

"Hey, husband, you're back? How's everything?" Milana crossed her legs on the table, showing her graceful and captivating leg lines.

Valeria quietly retracted her legs, and the cool pajamas on her body melted into thick black mist. In less than a second, she turned back into her serious appearance in a black windbreaker.

There was just a slight blush on her face.

The inner guards who have been transformed by white glaze are no longer the same as before. They no longer need to be bound by the black windbreakers. The clothes are just condensed from the power released by the evil core. While they can provide protection, they will not arouse evil thoughts like the so-called "not wearing anything".

Therefore, by changing to a cool posture, your body can really feel the coolness. Clothes are just clothes, nothing more than that. They just have the property of being able to change at any time.

Baiyue nodded and said softly: "The situation is not bad, not good, but still... relatively positive."

"The mental state of the infected people here is pretty good. I think it's worth a try." Baiyou continued, took off his shoes at the door, put on slippers, walked into the room, picked up a bottle of whiskey from the table, and looked up.

"Gudu, Gudu..."

After taking a few gulps of strong liquor, Baiyou felt like there was a fire in his stomach. He put down the bottle, let out a long sigh, and his eyes were full of gloom.

Milanna noticed that his mental state was not right, so she stood up and went to help him.

Valeria and Bai Jin also noticed that his mental state was not right and came over.

Bai You was helped by Milana to sit on the sofa. He leaned against the back of the sofa dejectedly, and with the anger in his stomach, he whispered, "I'm very unhappy."

"…very, fucking, unhappy."

"...Stupid Casimir, stupid Business Federation." He stared at the ceiling in a daze, the pendant on his ear lit up and then quickly went out.

"Plot Zero is similar to a prison. It seems that the entire Casimir is relatively open to the infected, but in fact, the work of the infected is greatly restricted, and the influence of the infected knights is not enough."

"It's disgusting. Education and medical care are too much of a luxury for the infected, but it is this luxury that sets this group apart from the modern Casimir."

"...I kind of hate Casimir. How about we find a way to burn this city down?" He raised his hands, rubbing his face as if he was a little depressed.

"Does your stomach hurt?" Milana raised her hand and gently placed it on Baiyou's belly, stroking it, her words full of worry.

The Ursus woman didn't know what difficulties her lover had encountered, she only knew that she believed her lover could do it.

"It's okay... I'm fine. After this plan, the situation should improve a little."

Baiyou lowered his head, looked at Milana, then at Valeria, and finally set his eyes on Baijin.

He stared into Bai Jin's eyes and whispered, "Bao Jin, I need you."

Bai Jin shuddered all over. She wanted to say something but stopped herself, frowning slightly. In the end, she didn't dare to look him in the eye and turned her head away slightly.

"...Then what do you want me to do?" Her voice was so soft that Bai You almost didn't hear it clearly.

"For the Flame Blade Melee Tournament, I want you to accompany me to meet Charne and make sure Charne has no chance to disrupt my plan." Baiyou took a deep breath and continued, "I want to start changing Casimir, starting from now, right at this moment, in this knight competition."

Bai Jin looked at Bai You and replied, "Are you really sure? Just relying on us? Two Ursus women, a Sakota musician, you, and me?"

"Your Rhodes Island is thousands of miles away in Xiosta. What do you want to do? Can you guarantee that you will get out of this unscathed?"

Baiyou stood up, picked up the whiskey on the table again, took a sip, and staggered towards the window.

He drew aside the curtains and looked at the brightly lit city in front of him, which looked as dazzling as glass. He shook the bottle of wine in his hand, and the entire city was reflected in his pupils.

The lights reflected vaguely in his eyes. They didn't look like lights anymore. Instead, they looked like flames connected together.

"...More than that, all of Casimir, anyone who has read the Knight's Tale is our companion."

"The Business Federation made a big mistake."

"They think that by packaging the name of Knight with stars and commercials, they can distort the true meaning of these two words."

“I know that’s not the case, so I know I can succeed.”

Chapter 620: Flame Blade Melee Competition Begins

Generally speaking, there are few star players in the Flame Blade Melee Tournament, nor are there particularly strong opponents. Most of these opponents have their own knight orders or companies to back them up, and there are also special planners who are responsible for arranging the game plans. They usually choose those newcomers who are in the limelight or the famous old knights as opponents, and after a few games of mutual support, they will earn points from some of the newcomers to participate in the championship.

There are too many uncertainties in the Flame Blade Melee Tournament, so they will not participate, but that doesn't mean they won't watch it.

Especially since Maria Rinko is participating in this competition.

One night later, at the Flame Blade melee competition.

Bai You, holding a cane, walked slowly along the corridor that was almost completely white due to incandescent lights.

Behind him, followed Platinum.

Even through the thick walls, I could hear the sound coming from the conference hall. It was deafening cheers, as loud and violent as a tsunami, rushing straight into my ears.

But in the corridor before him, there were only the footsteps of Baiyou and Baijin.

"Bo...Mr. Huaiyou, we're almost there." Bai Jin said.

The two stopped in front of one of the doors in the corridor. Bai Jin took a step forward and pushed open the door in front of Bai You.

What appeared in front of me was a room facing the stadium. The room was filled with pleasant aromatherapy scents. On the sofa table in front of me, there was a bottle of high-end wine produced by Victoria and a high-heeled glass.

The other goblet was held in Charne's hand. He was standing in front of the French window. When he heard the door open, he turned around and looked at Baiyue.

"Good evening, Mr. Huaiyou." He nodded slightly, politely.

Baiyue smiled back and said, "Thank you for inviting me to watch the knight competition, Mr. Charney. As a spokesman, you hold an important position. I am honored that you can take the time to accompany me."

"No way. It is my duty as the spokesperson of the Chamber of Commerce to invite guests from afar to watch our Casimir's most distinctive knight competition." Charne laughed, and there was a lot of hypocrisy in the words of the two.

Baiyou picked up the wine glass from the table, casually raised his hand to pour himself half a glass, shook the glass, walked to the window, and looked at the bustling stadium in front of him.

The Flame Blade Melee Tournament was held in the city's largest stadium. After nearly a month of preparation, the arena had been restored to an area with a variety of mixed terrains, from yellow sand to grasslands, to complex urban areas... It was as if all the terrain on the territory of Casimir had been reproduced in the size of a block, and no matter how skilled the knight was in combat, he could find his main battlefield in it.

There are countless spectator seats surrounding the stadium. The distance from the farthest and highest seat to the center of the stadium can probably be calculated in kilometers. At this moment, the spectator seats are already full. Small vendors selling snacks and drinks are walking around hawking their wares, carrying backpacks full of beer and pushing snack carts.

Because the stadium is so large, there is a large screen standing tall at intervals in each auditorium, on which the game videos of all the knights participating in tonight's event are scrolling.

Baiyou noticed that many spectators had begun to form cliques. They changed into clothes of the same color, waved light signs with the knights' names engraved on them, and shouted the names of their favorite knights in unison, with their voices deafening.

These spectators who support different knights will also have friction with each other. Even though the game has not yet started, the atmosphere has already reached a certain level of tension.
