Roy stretched out his hand, pulled out the long sword that was stuck in the ground, and with a graceful turn of the sword, he inserted the first sword into the sheath at his waist.

He raised his hands around him and smiled brightly.

"Hello everyone--"

"According to the decision of the organizing committee, Cavaliers player Roy is deemed to have voluntarily forfeited his qualification for the competition due to his lateness." The voice from the commentary desk interrupted Roy's greetings, and the cold announcement brought the warm atmosphere of the venue to a standstill.

"?"

Not only Mai on the glass, but almost all the audience had a question mark in their minds.

Late? Disqualified?

I thought you were giving me a surprise, but you didn't let me leave for a long time. When I finally left, I thought you were just trying to whet my appetite, but it turns out you were really planning on doing this?

"You were the one who announced Roy's participation, and you were the one who disqualified him when he showed up. You have taken over everything in love, right?"

You can't take back a fart you've let out, and you can't cool down a volcano that's about to erupt. Mai took off his monocle and threw it on the table, smashing Sven to the ground, and yelled savagely at the commentary desk:

"*vulgar Victorian slang*, quit the competition? Are you worthy of us?! *vulgar Victorian slang*, give me your money back!"

One call and a hundred responses!

Volume 1: Chapter 42: The Art of Passing the Buck

"Why don't you let Roy compete? You are a shady guy! A shady guy!"

"When did our Casimir Special become like this? It's really heartbreaking! Question for the finals!"

"I'm just a passerby. To be honest, Roy was indeed late, and it's understandable that the organizing committee disqualified him from the competition."

"You're a reasonable person, right? I'm targeting reasonable people like you. Special invitation, special invitation, do you know what a special invitation is? It's the people who are invited by the special tournament, not the people who want to come! Now that Roy has put on such a cool debut for free, how can you still say that you disqualified others?"

"It's true, no exaggeration."

"Then what should we do?"

"What to do? Return the money!"

"This eating style is so ugly, even Victoria isn't this dark!"

Looking at the noisy audience on the projection screen, the executive chairman of the organizing committee's face darkened and waved his hand helplessly: "Turn it off, turn it off."

His eyes looked around the empty hall, and he cast his gaze towards the other people present, spreading his hands: "What should we do?"

Someone immediately spoke up, "This is clearly the spokesperson's fault. As a special guest, Knight Roy was approved by the joint meeting of the Business Federation. How can his qualifications be revoked just like that?"

The Executive Chairman glanced at him and asked, "So you mean, it won't be cancelled?"

The man nodded as a matter of course: "Of course not, not only that, we should replace the spokesperson to ease the emotions of the audience now!"

The Executive Chairman chuckled and said, "Do you know who that spokesperson is? Lestin, McGee is the prince of Rose Press. Do you want to replace him?"

The committee member named Lestin immediately lost his temper when he heard that. He glanced around and found that everyone around him was looking at him with mockery. He could only say stubbornly, "He is only the prince of Rose Press, not the prince of the Chamber of Commerce. He can't possibly prevent us from making money." Then he said no more.

The Executive Chairman shrugged and looked away.

He also knew that what Lestin said was right. Even if McGee had an extraordinary background, the Business Union was not founded by Rose Newspapers alone. If McGee really hindered the overall interests of the Business Union, given the character of the "reporter", it was not impossible for him to do something to gain the upper hand over his relatives. But the problem was that the Business Union's affairs were the Business Union's affairs, and their organizing committee was not the Business Union. Reporter Kane could not do anything to the Business Union, so wouldn't it be easy to deal with them?

The Executive Chairman was not sure whether they would be removed tomorrow if McGee was removed.

That’s why I hate people who bring money into the group. It wouldn’t be so troublesome to replace them.

Silently cursing the people above him in his heart, the Executive Chairman pondered for a long time and said:

"Let Charney handle it."

"Charne?" The committee members looked at each other. "Charne is indeed a talent, but how to deal with him? Should we help McGee or Roy?"

The Executive Chairman glared at the member who asked the question in embarrassment, deliberately raised his voice and scolded: "You still need to ask me about this matter? Then why do I need you to come here? Let Charney handle it, he knows what to do!"

You're just passing the buck. If this goes wrong, it's Czarne's problem, not yours.

Lestin sneered and rolled his eyes.

Even so, you still have the nerve to scold him.

...........

Special Championship scene.

McGee already felt a little regretful.

The originally grand opening ceremony is now full of twists and turns. The huge venue that can accommodate nearly 200,000 spectators is filled with angry shouts. The intercity network is now at a constant pace and the heat is soaring!

The internet trolls that were hired to hype up the topic of the special championship obviously did not expect such an accident to occur at the competition site. The marketing they originally used to hype up the popularity has now become the last match to ignite the fire. By the time they came to their senses, the fire had already exploded. It has become impossible to control public opinion in a short period of time.

The contingency plan made by the Chamber of Commerce obviously did not anticipate that a spokesperson would make such an imprudent move at the opening ceremony. All the contingency plans were aimed at the venue. The only contingency plan made by the Knights, which was aimed at the spokesperson, could not be used - that plan first required the spokesperson to be fired and then the Helmetless Alliance to be sent to kill him.

No matter how much he planned, McGee never expected that a little knight who had just debuted would have such a status in everyone's hearts. When the Knight of Glory was declared an infected person and expelled from Casimir, there was far from such an uproar in society as there is today. Why was it that an ordinary knight who used the name of the Knight of Glory, but had no title or prominent family background, was the one who brought him down?

"It's because Roy is now a civilian."

A voice sounded behind him, and McGee turned around and looked at Charney who was taking off his gloves. The person nodded to him, stretched out his hand, shook his hand, and explained:

"Knight Yao was born into the Linguang family. She has fame and status, but she is a noble after all. The young Knight Yao's fight for her own feelings has raised her reputation infinitely. There is always a considerable distance between her and the audience of the competition and the general public. Therefore, her peak is just a statue of the nobles, not a role model for the people."

“She couldn’t unite all the people, nor did she realize that she needed to unite all the people. So when she was declared infected after winning the championship, no one questioned the result. Guided by public opinion, people thought that this was a revenge by a down-and-out knight noble against the Commercial Federation, a private vendetta with ulterior motives that was eventually exposed.”

Charne paused and said:

"But Roy is different. Your father once said something like this - the supervisors will learn their lesson. They hid Roy's identity and made him debut as a low-level competitive knight, gradually creating a story of a small-time man's counterattack. When he encountered injustice, so many people would stand up and speak for him. Because, in this war of public opinion, we are the powerful persecuting party, and Roy is the dreamer who is suppressed."

McGee opened his mouth, unable to find the words to refute, and could only say, "I didn't treat him unfairly."

But Charney just smiled.

When he received this difficult task, he had investigated what happened today. He was fully aware of McGee's little moves.

But he knew it all but didn't say it out loud. For someone in his position, offending a young master would be more trouble than it's worth.

Seeing that Charney had no intention of ruining the show, McGee's expression eased a little and asked, "Now that you're here, what should we do next?"

"Well... before that, I want to confirm a question with you. Are you determined to stop Knight Roy from participating in the competition?"

McGee was stunned. "Does it make a difference? I just want to resolve this farce quickly."

He had already planned to resign from his duties as spokesman for this special tournament. After messing up tonight's opening ceremony, it would be almost impossible for him to wear this outfit again. Rather than being forced to resign by the Federation, it would be more decent for him to give it up on his own initiative.

He still has a lot to learn and can continue to be an ordinary spokesperson. If nothing unexpected happens, the next spokesperson for the special tournament should be Czarne.

Therefore, he just wanted to solve this trouble quickly and then leave. He no longer wanted to care whether Roy participated in the competition, nor could he care.

Although Viviana was important, she was not important enough for him to anger his father and lose the power and status he had so happily obtained.

Charne nodded: "I understand. This is much easier. Leave it to me without any worries."

He walked up to the commentary desk, took McGee's microphone, and coughed lightly twice.

The noise at the scene was still noisy, but people had all turned their eyes to the commentary desk, as if waiting for an explanation.

Charney's voice was neither hurried nor slow, steady and serious:

"After investigation by the 23rd Special Tournament Organizing Committee, the reason why Knight Roy withdrew from the tournament has now been determined."

"The Knights Association was unable to look up Knight Roy's background information in the system, so it was unable to send a system notification to Knight Roy, resulting in Knight Roy not receiving the invitation to the Special Championship in time. This was due to the lack of consideration by the organizing committee and the dereliction of duty of the relevant personnel of the Knights Association. The organizing committee immediately launched an investigation after learning of the relevant situation. It has been found that the relevant personnel of the Knights Association were temporary workers recruited due to the shortage of manpower in the Special Championship. They have been expelled and investigated. The relevant case has been reported to the National Council for record. For this behavior that damages the reputation of the Knights Association, the Federation of Commerce, and the Casimir Knights Competition Special Championship, we will continue to investigate and punish them severely!"

"At the same time, after an urgent discussion within the Special Tournament Organizing Committee, we decided to set a precedent and contact the person in charge of the Knights' Information Archives Management of the Knights' Association to supplement Knight Roy's relevant competition information and conduct a qualification review on the spot. At the same time, Knight Roy will be awarded the honorary knight title of Meteor. Please ask Knight Roy to come backstage to prepare. At the same time, on behalf of the Special Tournament Organizing Committee, I would like to express my sincere apologies to all the audience who have lost time, money and joy due to this extraordinary situation. After the opening ceremony, all the audience can receive a free special tournament limited knight medal souvenir bag. The audience in front of the TV and computer can also log in to the official website of this special tournament to participate in tonight's welfare lottery."

"Casimir's 23rd Knight Competition Special Tournament Organizing Committee - Spokesperson: Charne."

As Charne's voice came to an end, the noise at the scene gradually quieted down, leaving only some whispers.

"I can't find any information about Knight Roy. What the host said is true."

"Yes, I find it strange too. I've been a fan of Roy since he debuted, but he doesn't even have a social media account. I thought I didn't find it, but it turns out he doesn't have one."

"His identity is unknown. In that case, it is understandable that he was disqualified. Who would dare to let someone with an unknown identity participate in the competition? What if he is infected again?"

"Don't talk nonsense. We have checked it out clearly. It was the temporary worker of the Knights Association who failed to register all the people. We are re-registering them on the spot now. How could he be an infected person?"

Walking through the passage under the audience seats and into the backstage, Roy listened to the discussions coming from around him and frowned slightly.

This Czarnet is quite capable. He just made a bland apology and got rid of the blame, and stabilized public opinion. No wonder he was able to serve as a spokesman for so long, until the end of the 24th competition, when he stepped down because of the second four-city partition.

But now comes the trouble.

What kind of background should he fill in?

PS: It was released on Friday. I should have updated it quickly, but I felt really uncomfortable after it came out.

I have a severe cough and sleep for at least 12 hours a day. I hope I can get better soon.

Volume 1: Chapter 43 Caller ID

Casimir, Kavaleriya, legendary arena.

【You are born to be a legend】

Roy walked under the cool light sign and entered the room. In front of him was the figure of Charne, who was sitting in the room, a little tired but still at ease. Next to Charne, another young man wearing a spokesman's uniform and with a long beard also attracted Roy's attention for a moment.

Although his memory was a little fuzzy, Roy still vaguely remembered the man's name and identity: spokesperson McGee, the son of "Reporter Kane", one of the board members of the Business Federation, and also a suitor of Candle Knight Viviana.

The moment he saw him, Roy felt a bit amused. He knew who was the person who didn't send him an invitation and wanted to disqualify him for being late. However, looking at McGee's figure, he suddenly felt a little unreal. Maybe it was because he had been in Terra for too long, or maybe it was because the people he met on weekdays were too high-level, so he didn't realize that if you want to embarrass someone, you don't need a complicated reason or a profound calculation.

The land of Terra is not full of riddlers like Black Iron, Black Snake, or Old Lynx. There are more ordinary people who are constantly struggling with fate to satisfy their hunger, fight for love, and earn wealth. Roy had just fought a battle of wits with the air, thinking that this was another conspiracy of the Business Federation, or a chess game manipulated by an ambitious person like reporter Kane. As it turned out, it was really related to Kane, but the one playing chess was his son, an overly kind and indecisive spokesperson who was far less difficult than his father.

Compared to him, Charne, who was sitting on his work chair, was obviously in more trouble.

Putting away the distracting thoughts in his mind, Roy pretended not to know McGee at all and asked Charney directly:

"Mr. Charney, where are the people from the Knights' Association? Didn't they ask me to provide more information?"

Charne nodded with a smile: "Sorry, I have already informed them, but it will take some time for them to arrive. Before that, can we talk alone?"

Roy glanced at McGee: "Alone?"

Charne stood up and introduced, "This is Mackey Kane. He is the spokesperson for the special tournament appointed by the Business Federation. Sir Mackey, this is the Knight Roy you have been talking about recently. How is he? Is there anything I can help you convey?"

Tell him to stay away from Viviana?

McGee frowned. He had very little contact with Viviana until now. The Candle Knight might not even remember him as a spokesperson, let alone doing such a thing. What was his reputation and in what name?

The Knight's Code is not the Lateran Code, but there is no such rule as not being able to marry, not to mention that the Lateran Pope himself has abolished that rule. How could the Association of Knights of the Tournament, which is controlled by the Commercial Federation with a progressive reputation, adopt such conservative suggestions?

Moreover, he was also able to hear the hidden meaning in Charne's words.

To convey, means that they don't want him to be there. In the past, he would definitely not agree to such a suspicious reason, but Charne had just helped him a lot, and it was difficult for him to refuse. He could only snort, glare at Roy, and turn to walk out the door.

"Dangdang!"

The door closed loudly, as if it could cover up the emotions inside.

Roy looked puzzled and shrugged at Charney:

"What's up with him?"

"Maybe he just broke up with his girlfriend recently. It's none of my business anyway." Charne raised his eyebrows at Roy with an expression on his face as if he was trying to hold back a laugh.

"Rather than this, how about we talk about business? Sir Roy, you completed your mission very well." Charne praised with satisfaction, "The Blood Knights did not encounter any assassination that night, and did not even see the shadow of the Helmetless Alliance. It's hard to imagine, how did you do it?"

Roy patted his chest and said proudly, "That's right. With just one word from me, would the Wuzhou League dare to take a step forward?"

boast.

Charne saw through Roy at a glance, and with just one sentence, the No-Horn Alliance dared not to move forward. Just kidding, according to the gossip he got, the price offered by Rebirth Pharmaceuticals was enough for the No-Horn Alliance to send Platinum or even Blue Gold to deal with the Blood Knights. Those cunning assassins were in the situation where their true identity was unknown, and even the upper echelons of the Business Federation were afraid and did not dare to say that they had complete control. How could they be scared away by your words?

It is said that the strength of the Platinum Grandmaster is enough to deal with any competitive knight in Casimir, and the strength of the Blue Gold Grandmaster is enough to hunt down any regular unit of Casimir in a 1v1. No matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than Blue Gold?

But after all, they are allies now, so Charney did not expose Roy's boast. He just said:

"Great. So, can we talk about that statement you made last time?"

His expression became serious and he asked,

"Can I regard that as your token of allegiance? Former Knight Roy?"

That sentence, which sentence?

Roy was stunned and searched his mind for the memory of his last conversation with Charne, but he couldn't find a single word that matched what Charne said.

Former war knight, when did he become a war knight? Did you find the wrong person?

I, Roy, have never been associated with the word "war" since I became conscious, not to mention adding the word "before" before the word "war". He has never joined the army, so when was he forced to retire?

Shouldn't this give him a retirement allowance of more than ten years?
