Uncle, I am not an ordinary office worker.

After all, Mainna was a famous person in the past. Even Uncle Cyril recognized his strength. With his special training, maybe he really could have a chance to defeat Roy.

"I mean, it won't take him long to hit you, so don't worry. There's no possibility of a long fight."

Maenna commented calmly, instantly shattering Zofia's dream.

Sofia stood there in a daze, looking at Mainna who was calmly drinking tea and reading the newspaper. She opened her mouth, wanting to curse, but couldn't.

How do you talk like that, tsk, office worker, so despicable!

Although she knew clearly that what Maynna said was the closest to the truth, Zofia still didn't want to admit defeat. As a knight, even if the opponent was a windmill, he had to have the courage to charge! Roy, who was only defeated by the Rusty Bronze Left-Handed Candle Knight and narrowly defeated Maynna, knew two moves of the Great Wilderness Starfall, and was only a little bit stronger than me (fingertip universe), so there was nothing to be afraid of!

"..."

Sofia was silent for a moment, took out her mobile phone, opened the search engine, and typed in:

"Can I give up the main tournament?"

Answer: "No."

Sofia lowered her head sadly.

It felt like she had no chance of winning. Roy was not only stronger than her in combat power, but also in insight. How could she compete with someone who could see through her biggest weakness the first time they met?

Just when Zofia was worried, a light voice suddenly came from the sofa: "If you really want to fight him, I can help you."

Sofia looked up in surprise. The source of the voice, Mainna, still had his head buried in the newspaper, as if the words just now did not come from his mouth.

But Zofia would not be wrong. She looked serious and answered solemnly, "I need it!"

Maenna finally put down the newspaper. Although his expression remained calm, Sophia seemed to see some hidden fighting spirit in his eyes:

"I can only guarantee that you will fight him. Your match time is very tight. It is impossible to train you to defeat him. After a fight, you will still lose. Can you accept such a result?"

"Of course. That's enough." Zofia nodded.

Fighting with a strong man is a kind of improvement for himself. It's not that he can't accept failure, but he doesn't want to end up like a supporting role.

"It doesn't matter if I lose. I just want to do what every professional knight should do. From the moment I stepped onto the stage, I had only one goal: to win the championship!"

A ridiculous ideal, but a good intention.

Ma Enna thought so, stood up and said slowly:

"Find me a sword, and buy yourself some ointment for bruises and sprains. My special training is very hard."

"understand!"

.......

[Ding——Your unexpected encounter mission has been updated, [Zofia's Future] → [Dance of the Light (Fake)]]

The task reminder that suddenly popped up in his mind made Roy confused. Could a task be changed after it was published?

However, is this Dance of the Light (fake) referring to Zofia?

Lin Guang, who was not Lin Guang, had already chosen his own path? Then why did his mission not only not fail, but was renewed?

Could it be that this task is related to me again?

With this thought, Roy seemed to have guessed something and wanted to take out his Knight Terminal to check, but was interrupted by Zero's voice.

Fergwald, who was sitting at the bar, coughed lightly. After witnessing the conversation between Koval and Roy, he seemed to have made some kind of decision and said:

"Hey, Koval, you are such a fool. Roy's next match will start in three days. What kind of broken sword can you make in three days? You'd better stop fooling him. How about this, young man? While Koval is forging your sword, you can just use my sword for now, how about that?"

As Fogwald said this, he jumped off the chair and handed Roy the sword he always carried with him, along with its scabbard.

"It's not military equipment. It's passed down from my family. It helped me kill a lot of bastards from the Ursus Empire on the battlefield. It's very sturdy and sharp!"

He said so.

Roy reached out and took the sword. The next second, a clear prompt sounded in his mind:

[Congratulations on unlocking the new collection: Kiss of Keshier]

[Ah, he comes riding on fear, like a cloud of smoke everywhere, he wraps you up, lowers his head slightly to kiss your neck, and brings you into an eternal nightmare! ]

[Armor penetration is enhanced, and the attack causes mental damage. 】

Shit, are you really here to fuck pigeons?

Volume 1: Chapter 77: My aunt is very sensitive. She will really scream if you shock her.

[Congratulations on unlocking the new collection: Kiss of Keshier]

[Ah, he comes riding on fear, like a cloud of smoke everywhere, he wraps you up, lowers his head slightly to kiss your neck, and brings you into an eternal nightmare! ]

[Armor penetration is enhanced, and the attack causes mental damage. 】

[The rougelike beta version has been unlocked, please experience it. 】

Roy stroked the simple long sword in his hand, his face was full of surprise and astonishment, which made Fogwald on the side murmur.

"Young man, what's wrong? Do you look down on my knife with that expression?"

Roy waved his hands quickly: "No, no, I'm just surprised to see this kind of precious sword. Knight Forgwald, is your ancestor a nightmare?"

Fogwald was stunned for a moment, and there was a hint of disbelief in his eyes when he looked at Roy.

Nightmare, how long has it been since anyone mentioned this term? To this day, most Terrans only regard nightmare as a description of a horrible nightmare, but Fogwald knows very well the origin of this concept, the race that brought deep fear to the entire land, and the ancestor of the blood flowing in his body - Nightmare.

"It's really strange that in this day and age, there are still young people interested in nightmares."

Fugwald murmured, feeling a bit emotional and relieved. He walked forward, patted Roy's arm with satisfaction, and said with a smile,

"In that case, I have finally passed this sword to the right person! That's right, the sword you are holding is a precious sword that was once used by a nightmare. Even though it may be just an unknown nightmare, it is enough to deal with a small scene like a knight's competition!"

Roy looked at the item introduction and nodded.

What Fogwald said was right. Although the sword was covered with dust and rust, and it didn't look as majestic as it once was, it was a piece of cake for it to deal with a knight's competition that was not even a life-and-death fight. Moreover, Fogwald was wrong in one point. This sword did not belong to some unknown nightmare. It came from a guard composed of the most elite and brave people in the nightmare, Qiexue. Tiantu was the personal army of a generation of genius who flattened the world.

It is no wonder that in the long night of the future, the Nightmare Chaser Knight with the title of "The Last Qiexue" would recognize the identity of Fogwald, whose bloodline had been diluted for countless generations, from such a distance. Perhaps what he saw was not only Fogwald's bloodline, but also the aura emanating from his Kiss of Qiexue.

Although he knew it was unlikely, since he had already obtained a collectible weapon, adhering to the principle of getting the best deal, Roy gritted his teeth and asked:

"Old Master Fogwald, may I ask, besides this knife, do you have any other heirlooms in your family?"

This made Fogwald laugh. What's the matter? Are you interested in my belongings?

But unfortunately, he shook his head and said in a very bachelor way: "My mother gave me this thing when I joined the army. Young man, weapons are after all external things. Although you can't live without them, you can't rely on them completely."

Roy could only purse his lips regretfully to express his gratitude.

What Fugwald said makes sense. Weapons can't be eaten, but collectibles can be. Just think about a coin-operated toy of the Knight's Discipline of the Golden Cup plus your own savings, which has become an astronomical figure. How fast can you cut with such a knife? And every strike of the knife brings mental damage. This is a true restoration of the game's Qingjin position.

It's a pity that it can't be cut down.

Speaking of the Knight's Discipline, Roy came back to his senses and took out his Knight Terminal.

The golden surface displayed the knight's data, and the time and place of the next game could be indicated through a projection device. There was also a website for purchasing equipment and an inbox for various information. It really looked like one of the most useful pigeon collectibles: [Knight's Discipline: New Edition]. Unfortunately, even though Roy repeatedly tapped and touched it, the collectible system did not give any prompts to obtain the collectible.

This thing doesn't work.

Come to think of it, from the Kiss of Keshiue, we can see that the collectibles are all special and even unique treasures. If any knight terminal can be used as the New Edition of Knight's Discipline, then Knight Casimir would have crushed Hai Si long ago. The Commercial Federation waved its hand and gave everyone a Knight's Discipline plus 10,000 Originium Ingots. Not to mention the Supervisory Council and Silver Spear Pegasus, even the walls of Londinium City can be dug through.

What? It’s just the wall of Londinium. Would Bounty Hunter A take action?

That's fine, Brother A, Emperor Terra, can't be compared. To put it another way, the Haisi herd can be wiped out!

The collection of [Knight's Discipline: New Edition] must be a prototype or the first officially used knight terminal, a terminal with epoch-making significance? But no matter which one it is, it must have been taken, and it is basically impossible for Roy to get it.

"Hey, Master, your next opponent is my aunt?"

While Roy was fiddling with his Knight Terminal, Maria beside him also saw the contents on Roy's terminal and made a sound in surprise.

Roy glanced at the match information on the terminal and nodded. Just now, when Zofia's mission was changed, he had already guessed this. Zofia's fate had changed. Without the barrier of the Rift Knight that seemed to be designed to target her weaknesses, she did not win the top 16 easily, but she did pass it after all.

The quarterfinals, on the stage of the Casimir Knight Competition, is a stage that countless people look up to throughout their lives. Standing on this stage means that the knight can get rid of the limiting factors such as "age", "experience", and "competition market" and obtain his own "title" that is truly certified by the Knights Association.

Today, Zofia is no longer a high-ranking competitive knight. The famous title of [Whip Blade] has been included in the list of titled knights and nobles of the Knights Association! She is nominally on par with the pure-blooded [Lin Guang], and even far exceeds Lin Guang in terms of wealth.

Compared to the original work, where Zofia made it to the quarterfinals but had to withdraw due to a wrist injury, the change now means a fundamental change in her future. Roy hoped that she could go further, but he didn't expect that life would be so dramatic. Roy helped eliminate the Rift Knight in advance, but when it came to the quarterfinals, he took the Rift Knight's position.

"Don't call Aunt Zofia. If she hears you, she'll nag you again."

Roy smiled and rubbed Maria's head. The soft golden hair felt like he was stroking warm cotton. Roy could see Maria's worried expression. He just promised seriously:

"Don't worry, I won't let her off just because she's Zofia. As a knight, I will give her my full respect."

Actually, I wanted to beg you to let her release her fluids. After all, your aunt is super sensitive. If you shock her, she might really scream.

Maria's words got stuck in her throat. Looking at Roy's firm look that said "I understand everything", she knew she couldn't say anything else.

Volume 1: Chapter 78: Monique is angry

Monique is shopping.

This may sound unbelievable, but even the Black Iron Lord has his own life on weekdays, not to mention the Qingjins.

Platinum will do the work, Black Iron will handle the big things, the Chamber of Commerce cannot be found, and Black Iron is too lazy to look for it. Only when there are things that are neither big nor small will Qing Jin take action. But to be honest, how many things can fall into the category of "neither big nor small"?

Monique now works three days a week and rests four days a week. The average working time is no more than 4 hours. The rest of the time is spent playing. It can be said that Roy really transformed the industry ecology of the No Helmet Alliance and made it the only oasis in Casimir, which has almost become a holiday desert. Monique can also benefit from it.

It's a pity for Xiao Baijin. I heard that she has been so busy recently that she doesn't even have time to watch Roy's live game. She can only stay up late every day to watch the video, and then go to work with dark circles under her eyes the next day. I'm really worried about her health. She already looks malnourished. If she continues like this, won't she grow into a child?

"The Meteor Knight's awarding ceremony will be held after the quarterfinals. Exquisite peripherals are waiting for your selection. The first 100 customers who spend over 1,000 yuan will receive a Meteor Knight exclusive mysterious gift box, with a chance to get an autograph, a photo opportunity, and a mysterious reward!! Action is worse than hesitation, what are you waiting for, come in and buy now!"

The loud speaker of the souvenir shop on the street made a loud call, which disturbed Monique's thoughts. She had no interest in such boring souvenirs. After all, she could see Roy in person anytime she wanted, so why buy his figurine? But a familiar figure in the store still attracted her attention.

As far as the eye can see, a crowded crowd is gathered in front of the store's cash register, clamoring to be the first to get the limited edition gift box at the cash register. Only one person is squeezed outside the crowd. He raises his hand as if he wants to step forward, but he can't find a chance to intervene, so he stands there in a daze, at a loss.

The girl had brilliant blonde hair and a pair of beautiful antlers that were clearly well maintained. Although she used a mask, sunglasses, and a large hooded cotton jacket to cover her graceful figure, experts could still vaguely see the warrior demeanor in her standing posture. She was carrying large and small handbags filled with various souvenirs, and it was hard not to make Monique wonder if she had chosen all the souvenirs in the store.

Although she had recognized the girl who was anxious because she couldn't squeeze into the cashier counter, Monique didn't call out Viviana's name immediately. Instead, she walked around, walked behind her, patted her shoulder, and whispered:

"Vivianna?"

"Alas!"

Startled by the sudden sound next to her ear, Viviana couldn't help but let out a cute exclamation. She shuddered all over and quickly turned around, put her finger on the edge of the mask, looked at the blue-haired woman in front of her, and said, "Keep your voice down!" As she said that, she grabbed Monique's arm, pulled her to the corner, looked her up and down, and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

"Monique." Monique said, "Roy's colleague."

"colleague?"

Viviana knew that Roy was not a competitive knight before, but she had never heard Roy talk about his previous job, let alone his colleagues. As for Monique, she did not know her.

As if she had guessed what Viviana was thinking, Monique curled her lips and said, "It's normal that you haven't heard of me. I often hear your name from Roy."

"Oh, really? Roy often mentions me?" Viviana said with some surprise. This was the first time she heard of this. Hearing that the person she liked often mentioned her, Viviana felt warm in her heart.

"So, what are you doing here?" Monique's words pulled Viviana back to reality from her fantasy moment. The next second, Viviana realized what she was holding and hid the bag behind her. Unfortunately, there were too many things, and she couldn't hide them at all with her small body.

"Are you buying souvenirs here? Judging from your reaction, is it Roy's?" Monique asked with a smile.

She had no purpose in looking for Viviana, she just wanted to have fun.

As it turned out, she really found it. Viviana was so embarrassed to be caught by an acquaintance buying peripherals. Especially among these peripherals, there were many "pillows" and "dolls" and other things. If Monique told Roy about this, Viviana didn't dare to think about the consequences.

"Don't tell Roy, okay?"

She asked cautiously, blushing.

This straightforward sincerity caught Monique off guard.

She had just been planning to have some fun, but Viviana turned out to be so natural, and now she was in a dilemma. If she told Roy, it would seem that she was too narrow-minded and had no vision. If she didn't tell Roy, she would seem a bit stupid for coming here to ask such a question.

There were a lot of dirty words stuck in her stomach that she couldn't say, and facing Viviana's clear eyes, Monique even wanted to escape.

After a long while, she finally managed to utter, "Why do you want to buy peripherals? It shouldn't be difficult for you to call Roy and arrange a meeting with him, right?"

"Well... I don't know." Viviana lowered her eyes and said embarrassedly.

Would Roy agree to meet her? She thought he probably would, but Viviana didn't want to do that. It would only satisfy her own selfish desires and would hurt Roy.

She had also read the report about Knight Yao and Roy. As one of the knights who was most poisoned by the Red Wine Newspaper, even though the Red Wine Newspaper had suddenly stopped gossiping about her for some reason, she still remembered the feeling of powerlessness and shame of being pointed at all the time.

She could choose to be open-minded and not care, but she didn't want Roy to suffer all this. Therefore, as the current celebrity, she didn't, and even deliberately avoided being in the same occasion with Roy.

"I really want to see him, but not seeing him is actually helping him. Buying some peripherals is just a way to comfort him."

Viviana looked at the Roy doll in the package and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"That guy probably doesn't care about this kind of thing at all." Monique complained in her heart. After all, Roy went to Lin Guang's house all day long. If it weren't for the pressure from the Business Federation, he, Zofia, Maria, and even Maenna would have been involved in a horse-jumping scandal a long time ago. Or a very bad rumor about a group of horses jumping together.
