Volume 1: Chapter 50 In order to save the Linguang family, Uncle Maenna actually...
[Joint announcement by the Business Federation, the Knights Association, and the Special Tournament Organizing Committee [Top] [Hot] [Hot Discussion]]
[Brave knights must not only be able to fight against hundreds of enemies alone on the field, but also learn to unite and cooperate! Find a trustworthy teammate as your knight companion, trust each other with your backs, compete together, advance together, and win together! ]
[This special tournament will use a new competition mechanism - doubles competition! ]
[For specific rules, please see the content......]
Roy had just used the key to open the door to Zofia's family courtyard when Maria, who had heard the sound, suddenly rushed out of the room, holding her cell phone in front of Roy, and indignantly defended Roy:
"Master Roy, have you seen the new announcement for today's special tournament? Something about a doubles match and half of the points being counted towards the total score? This is clearly targeting you, Master!"
Because the Linguang Mansion was blown up by a meteor, Maria could only temporarily live in the home of Aunt Zofia. Originally, Mainna should have moved in with her, but she was stubborn and couldn't bring herself to show off in front of her juniors, so she chose to live in the single dormitory provided by the company. This incident also surprised Zofia for a while - Mainna had been a social animal for so long, not to mention getting married, and she didn't even have a friend who could help her. It must be said that her life was pretty miserable.
As Maria's tutor, Zofia also gave Roy the spare key to the courtyard at home to facilitate Roy's teaching. She didn't give him the key to the front door, not because she didn't trust Roy's character. After all, Zofia was a virgin, and a competitive knight who had already advanced to the knockout rounds, so she had to pay attention to the impact of public opinion.
That’s right, I’m talking about you, Red Wine News!
Looking at Maria who was jumping non-stop in front of him, Roy spread his hands helplessly.
He had been notified of this by the Knights Association and the Special Tournament Organizing Committee. The reason they gave was very high-sounding, which was to innovate the competition system of the Special Tournament, increase the schedule of the Special Tournament, and enhance the highlights of the Special Tournament. But couldn't Roy see their little tricks?
If you really want to innovate, shouldn't you have already started promoting this new competition system? People always have update announcements and previews before they update their games. You suddenly added a competition system to a serious sports competition without saying anything. Do you want me to believe that you are hiding something and giving us a big surprise?
Haha, question first, question again, don’t believe it!
But he really couldn't do anything about this obvious targeting. The change in the competition system was indeed very sudden, but it was indeed within the authority of the organizing committee. In other words, they were indeed acting "within the rules", and most of the audience were indeed more willing to watch a few more exciting games for free. As for Roy, it was not time to break this rule yet.
So, he could only reach out his hand, gently rubbed Maria's soft golden hair, and comforted her: "Okay, okay, Maria, wouldn't your master know about this kind of thing? It doesn't matter, it's just a trivial trick, it can't do anything to me."
Miracle after miracle has helped Roy gain a lot of credibility with Maria. Although she was still worried, Maria still chose to believe Roy.
Since you are the master, there will always be a way.
"Who does Master plan to team up with?" Maria asked with a curious expression, "Is it the Candle Knight? Master and the Candle Knight are good friends, right? Or the Blood Knight? I heard that the Blood Knight is an infected person, and so is my sister. Master, you are also helping my sister clear her name, so maybe he will help you? Could it be the Left Hand Knight? Hmm... Although I don't like that guy very much, he is indeed very strong."
Listening to Maria's eyes sparkling as she called out the names of the famous knights one by one, Roy could only smile bitterly and shook his head.
This is also something he has been thinking about.
After receiving the news of the revised competition system, Roy immediately called the Candle Knight to ask if she had any inside information. Viviana told Roy the bad news that the big money behind her Sanhua Knights, Rebirth Pharmaceuticals, had just issued a clear ban to all the knights in all its knight groups, prohibiting them from forming a team with Roy to participate in the competition. Otherwise, their investment would be reduced or even suspended, and they would be expelled from the knight group.
If nothing unexpected happens, the knights under other companies should have issued similar bans. This means that Roy may not be able to find a knight willing to team up with him.
Obviously, what the Business Federation wants to do is not simply to "suppress Roy's individual scoring ability", they want to solve the problem from the root, so that Roy can't find teammates and is forced to withdraw from the competition!
Although Viviana expressed her willingness to break the ban, quit the Sanhua Knights, and team up with Roy as an independent knight to compete, Roy still declined her kindness.
Roy was well aware of the sensitivity of Viviana's identity. As the illegitimate daughter of a Leitanian noble, she had experienced discrimination and hardship after being sent to Casimir. She had fought hard to get to her current position, and Roy had no reason to let Viviana give up her hard-earned stable life for her own benefit.
He is a selfish person, but he is also a person who protects his own shortcomings.
As for Blood Knight, he was indeed not a bad guy. Roy's other identity did have some interactions with him. But Roy didn't think that the acting competition that morning would make Blood Knight give up his bright future. He was now carrying the interests of the Casimir infected people.
As for the left hand? Who? I'm not familiar with him. Roy suspected that he bought it. He was overstated in terms of strength. He was invisible the whole time when fighting. Roy was not a sucker and would not be teammates with actors.
He could only shake his head and said, "Not yet."
Maria was stunned for a moment, and asked innocently, "Eh? Master is so strong, doesn't he have any friends?"
Roy's eyelids twitched, and he pinched his cheek and replied, "You can ask your uncle about this question."
Maria blinked in confusion: "Why?"
Since I'm not really fit to spank you, if you ask, Mauna will do it for me.
With a malicious intention, Roy raised his head and looked at Zofia who had been leaning against the door without knowing when, raised his hand and greeted her: "Good morning, Knight Zofia."
"Just call me Zofia at home." Zofia touched her blonde hair, dodged his gaze for a moment, and finally gritted her teeth and asked, "I say, if you haven't found a teammate yet, do you want to team up with me?"
"You?" Roy was stunned.
Since she had already spoken, Zofia simply stopped hiding it and nodded, "Yes, I am also a competitive knight, and I even made it to the knockout rounds. And I am an independent knight, so I don't have any extra worries. How is it?"
Teaming up with Zofia is not impossible. Whipblade Knight was able to make it to the knockout round at such a young age, and finally lost in the quarterfinals. In terms of strength, she is not much weaker than the Left-Handed Knight who is always in the quarterfinals, quarterfinals, and top 16. If she had not encountered the Rift Knight who was incompatible with her in the round of 16, she would have a promising future.
But Roy was not inclined to let the knights who were currently playing in the special tournament team up with him. He had become the target of the Business Union. Even though the Business Union could not do anything to him because of his current popularity and strength, the people who teamed up with him might not have such strength. For example, if Zofia and he teamed up to win the doubles match, Roy was really worried that she would be targeted by the Union in the knockout round.
Seeing how desperate they were to go to Corruption and Decay to fight Maria, Roy was worried that Zofia would suffer more than just a wrist injury.
While Roy was still hesitating, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the courtyard.
Zofia and Roy looked in the direction of the sound at the same time, and saw Manna through the fence, dressed in black and looking as sullen as always. He was standing at the door, looking around nervously, as if he was afraid of being discovered. In his hand, he tightly grasped a bill.
The decoration company has sent the account sheet. It will cost at least 300 million Casimir rubles to complete the renovation and reconstruction of the Linguang Mansion.
According to his current salary, he would have to work for at least 20 years without eating or drinking! This was during the Special Championships when he had an extra high-paying part-time job!
It is no longer possible to rely on cutting costs to pay off the debt, so he has to find a way to increase the source of income.
"Zofia, are you home? I have something to ask you."
Ma Enna suppressed her embarrassment and said loudly,
“About your work!”
In order to save the Rinkou family, who were about to lose their place to sleep, Mauna decided to...
Volume 1: Chapter 51 Uncle Casimir's band officially debuts
"So, what are you going to ask me?"
The temperature outside was already a little low. Zofia welcomed Maina into the yard, brewed a pot of hot tea, poured a cup for Roy and Maina, then sat down and asked curiously,
"About my job? But I don't have a job."
Zofia is a branch of the Lin Guang family. Although she is a branch, Zofia's life is much better than that of the Lin Guang family. To say that she has no worries about food and clothing is an underestimation of her. In terms of assets alone, she is now one of the richest women in Casimir. Even Viviana may not be able to compare with her. Of course, this is also the reason why Viviana donated the prize money from commercial performances and competitions to the orphanage.
Someone even suggested to her that when the Knight of Glory was exiled, she could file a lawsuit through the Supervisory Council and the National Council to seize the title of "Lin Guang" into her own hands. Of course, Zofia refused, but this was not a fantasy. With her current financial resources and fame, it would not be difficult for her to accomplish this if she wanted to.
Of course, even though a large amount of wealth today comes from the accumulation of knightly competitions, Zofia is not regarded as a "job" by people. To some extent, she is very similar to Margaret. Her participation in knightly competitions is not so much for making money as it is for "recognizing the legitimacy of the existence of this sport, so she wants to use this up-to-date way to demonstrate the spirit of chivalry."
Moreover, considering Mainna's usual attitude towards knightly competitions, when he suddenly said he wanted to talk to her about work, she really didn't think about knightly competitions at all.
Looking at Zofia's puzzled expression, Mainna's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly. She turned her head and glanced at Roy who was standing beside her with great interest.
How come this guy is everywhere? I meet him wherever I go!
How can I have the nerve to speak when he is here?
Unlike Mainna's disgust and embarrassment towards Roy, Roy was very interested in Mainna's purpose.
He was an outsider. People involved in the matter are often confused, but bystanders can see things clearly. Looking at Mainna's embarrassed look, he could guess some clues.
But... this is really, really incredible!
That Manna is actually interested in knight competitions? Is this also a butterfly effect? Or is this a fantasy moment?
Roy's gaze moved down to Mainna's right hand which was now in his pocket. If he remembered correctly, when he knocked on the door just now, he saw with his own eyes that Mainna was holding a bill. Don't underestimate the eyesight of top assassins and archers!
Seeing the three people at the table staring blankly, Roy asked directly: "Maenna, what did you just hold in your right hand?"
Mainna frowned and glared at Roy, as if she didn't expect Roy to find out about this. After hesitating for a while, she pulled her right hand out and put the bill on the table.
"Is this the bill?" Maria asked in confusion. She took the bill and glanced at the balance. She couldn't help but gasp, "Three million rubles? Why would they charge so much? I only paid two million for this house."
As long as...
The words that Mauna was about to say were stuck in her throat. She looked at Sofia with a complicated expression, sniffed, and her thoughts became more firm.
He explained, "The Linguang Mansion was completely destroyed in that battle. After the evaluation, the renovation company replied that it could only be demolished and rebuilt. Three million is just the construction and renovation costs. Later, I have to compensate the surrounding neighbors with a large sum of money. This is all..." He turned around, looked at Roy's embarrassed smile, and said word by word, "Thanks to you."
"Hahaha, to be honest, I wasn't the first one to draw the sword." Roy laughed, indicating that he didn't want to take the blame.
It was Mainna who drew his sword first and was about to attack. I was acting in self-defense, justified self-defense.
Of course, Manna probably didn't expect that a fight would tear down his house so thoroughly. So after the incident, he didn't have the nerve to ask Roy for compensation, but just took on a few more jobs, hoping to fill the big hole.
But it turned out that his effort failed.
"What are you going to do with such a large sum of money? Do you need me..." Zofia stopped talking halfway. She knew a little bit about Marna's self-esteem. If she openly asked to lend him the money, Marna would probably not agree, and might even scold her. Wasn't that what she did when she showed concern for Maria last time?
But no matter what, they are family after all, and Zofia doesn't want to see Mayenna forced to live on the streets like those bankrupt people. After a few seconds of silence, family affection finally overwhelmed reason, and she spoke again:
"Do you need me to lend you some?"
"do not want!"
As expected, the proposal was coldly rejected by Mainna.
Sofia sighed somewhat aggrievedly. Although she had expected this result, Mainna's rigid answer and cold expression still made her feel a little sad.
Good intentions always end up in a cold shoulder.
However, before she could feel sad for a while, Roy on the side said:
"So, you want to play knight competition?"
As soon as the words came out, the temperature in the whole room seemed to drop several degrees. Sophia quickly tried to smooth things over:
"Roy, what nonsense are you talking about? Maina hates knight competitions the most, right?"
Giving Mainna a way out, Sofia looked at him with almost pleading eyes, hoping that he would back down.
She didn't want to see Roy and Maina fighting in her home again. It would be a small matter if they tore her home apart, but it would be a big matter if they got angry. She really didn't want Maina and Roy to break up completely. After all, one was a relative, and the other was... a young knight she was very optimistic about! She was in a dilemma.
Maenna stared at Roy, his frown forming a ravine. After a long silence, he took a deep breath and suddenly said, "I'll fight."
"Look, Roy, I told you, Manna is the most annoying... huh? ah? huh?"
Sofia turned her head suddenly and uttered three interjections in a row towards Mainna's face, looking her up and down with an incredible look as if she was checking whether the person in front of her was Mainna Linguang.
Is there something wrong with her ears? What did Maenna just say?
"I'll hit you." As if noting Sofia's surprise, Mainna repeated it calmly.
Sofia's voice was hollow, as if she had already left the world: "What are you fighting for?"
"Knightly competition."
Zofia turned around, grabbed Maria's hand, and said, "Maria, slap me, I feel like I'm dreaming."
However, Maria's condition was not much better than hers. After hearing what Sofia said, she didn't come back to her senses for a long time, and slapped Sofia's chest without knowing what was going on. A crisp "slap" sounded throughout Sofia's living room.
Roy and Mauna looked away, adhering to the attitude of "don't look at anything inappropriate". However, Zofia's eyes regained clarity in an instant, and her face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. The speed of her brain's operation directly evolved from the steam engine of the Industrial Revolution to a quantum computer, and the effect was immediate!
She flicked Maria's head hard and said, "Little pony, wait and see how I'll deal with you!" and drove her into the room. When she turned around, she looked at Maena and asked seriously:
"Maenna, are you serious? You finally admit..."
Maena raised her hand, interrupted her, and said bluntly:
"It's just a change of job to earn more money to supplement the family income. There is no other meaning."
Then, he paused, as if speaking to Roy, and said the second half of the sentence: "However, since it is a job, I will naturally try my best to complete it. There is no need to question this."
In terms of strength, let alone the few big cats and small cats in the special championship, even in the whole Casimir, there are few who can beat Mainna.
He said he tried his best, and that is the best sign.
Having said that, Roy was naturally very happy to go with the flow and said:
"Then how about teaming up with me? I just happen to be short of a teammate for the doubles competition."
Ma Enna snorted coldly and replied: "Where is the salary?"
"Tell me what you expect?"
"The prize money for the competition is split 37%, and the Knights sponsorship is split 28."
"All the rewards are split 50-50. Let's make friends and do it for Maria." Roy smiled and said, "You don't want Maria to be unable to go home forever, do you?"
Maenna's brows relaxed a little, and after thinking for a moment, she nodded: "Deal."

The receptionist looked up and down at the blond middle-aged man in black with a suspicious look on his face, pursed his lips in disappointment, shook his head, looked at Roy beside him, and hesitated to speak. It was not until Roy nodded at him seriously that he reluctantly picked up the pen and said as a matter of routine:
"Name?"
