Uncle, I am not an ordinary office worker.

Skadi could only frown and ask again the question she had asked several times:

"What's your relationship with the sea?"

"Nothing. If I must say, I may have some connection with those things in the sea, but not much."

Roy replied.

There is a connection, but not much. This is how Roy defines himself. There are secrets buried in the deep sea, and those secrets are closely related to the ancient pre-civilization. As a traverser with a human soul, Roy has only a spiritual connection with the pre-civilization, even if he has a connection.

As if not wanting to dwell on this matter and explain too much, Skadi noticed that Roy's face flashed with sadness for a moment, and then he immediately returned to normal and brought the topic back on track:

"After defeating the First Born, I believe you have already realized this. There is not only one First Born. Now, I can tell you clearly that there are four First Born in total."

"The Corrupted Heart (Ishamara the Corrupted Heart), the Lifeline of the Origin, the Spreading Branches (the Deep Blue Tree, the former zombie, later inherited by Shuiyue), and an unknown name. They respectively symbolize migration, survival, growth, and reproduction, and together they lead the horde."

"Then you said I was a newborn..." Skadi's expression froze slightly, as if she realized something, but the next second, her face suddenly darkened, "Who are you calling a newborn?"

Seeing this, Roy knew that Skadi had realized something, so he stopped there and said, "Don't worry, I'm just reminding you."

The person who chopped off Ishamara's head in the abyss as easily as taking something from a sack was Skadi. According to the description in Under the Tide, Skadi had long been aware of the influence of Ishamara. Skadi had not forgotten the vague mumblings and the lingering so-called "oracle" she heard from Ishamara's mouth at the last moment of defeating it, but she was just unwilling to touch upon them.

Roy just let Skadi realize this in advance, so that in the future when he is not by Skadi's side, Skadi will not be confused by the words of the beautiful brother, and finally can only resist by giving up thinking and just killing you, thus avoiding the troublesome situation like the Fool in the original plot, where the world line needs to be changed by gambling on a speech dice.

After all, a sober person is definitely harder to fool than a confused person.

"Okay, now that we've talked about the trouble, let's get down to business."

Clapping his hands, Roy called back Skadi who was lost in thought:

"At first, I told you to come to the Great Knight Territory to play a game with me. That was actually a lie."

Skadi shook her head and said indifferently: "It's okay, you don't speak much truth."

But what I just said was completely true.

Roy said helplessly: "I was actually planning to ask you to help my apprentice."

"What's the matter?"

"Help her keep an eye on this person. This person is very powerful. There are only a few people in Casimir who can keep an eye on him. Most of them are unlikely to help me. And I am not suitable to do it myself. After thinking about it, you are the only one who can do it."

Skadi frowned slightly, but soon relaxed. This task was simple. Compared with what Roy had just talked about, which could cause a major earthquake in the entire political arena just by telling Governor Agor, the difference was so huge that she wondered for a moment if there was something fishy going on.

But then she thought, even if there was something fishy going on, so what? She had seen a lot of creatures on land, whether they were bounty hunters or wandering knights, or those businessmen in suits who dealt with bounty hunters. They couldn't even build a flush toilet, and their technological level was shockingly low compared to Agor. How could they compare to the deep-sea hunters who had been transformed by Agor's most advanced technology?

"Who is the target?" she asked calmly.

Roy took out a photo and a cyan-gold coat from his arms and handed them to Skadi. On the coat was a blond figure with a frown on his face.

"Maenna."

He said,

"I will inform you of the time and location of the mission. Wear this outfit when you carry out the mission."

Skadi lifted the clothes and looked at them, then shook her head: "Not very good."

Roy blinked in confusion. Why couldn't he just change his clothes? "Why?"

"It's a bit small." Skadi said in embarrassment.

Oh, because it's Monique's dress.

Recalling Monique's size, Roy nodded subtly and took back the uniform:

"I roughly know where it is too small. I'll take it and modify it and give it to you when the time comes."

Monique, why can't you grow up?

PS: My post has been blocked again. Although I know the reason, I still feel very sad.

Now I have one less way to communicate with the outside world, and there’s no sign of unblocking. I feel like I’m going crazy.

Volume 1: Chapter 93 Come to the hotel tonight and let's talk about work

"Ah, Miss Lin Guang, are you here to watch the game as well?"

Wearing a winter outfit, Finn happily greeted the masked Knight Yao loudly. Margaret shuddered, turned around, and asked incredulously:

"You recognize me?"

But before she finished her words, the next second, Amiya, who was guarding in front of the viewing room, also noticed this side, raised her hand and greeted happily:

"It's Miss Lin Guang. I was just trying to get someone to call you. Come quickly. We have reserved a seat for you."

Margaret opened her mouth and tried to explain: "But, I..."

"Yujianye, if you lose, I will tell you that Lin Guang will definitely come to watch the game."

Bian Duan raised his head and stretched out his hand to Yue Jian Ye with a proud look on his face. Yue Jian Ye could only sigh helplessly, took out his wallet from his pocket, took out two Longmen coins and handed them to Bian Duan, then said with some complaints:

"Oh, I thought it was just a rumor. I didn't expect Miss Yao Knight actually had a childhood sweetheart. What a mistake."

"But I really didn't!"

Margaret finally couldn't stand it anymore, she tore off the mask on her face that had no camouflage effect at all, and complained with tears in her eyes.

Damn Red Wine News, what happened to the idols that were said to be time-sensitive? It has been more than three years since she left Casimir, stopped knight competitions, and faded out of the public eye for more than three years. During this period, she can't be said to be thriving, but at least she has been out of touch. Those unscrupulous reporters actually remembered her and didn't forget to take advantage of her. She really had to "thank" them.

Thanks to them, now, except for those Sarkaz who hardly pay attention to modern news and outside world, everyone else on Rhodes Island, from old ladies to school-age children, knows that she has such a non-existent childhood sweetheart. Moreover, Lin Guang couldn't even figure out whether they really believed the nonsense of the Red Wine Newspaper, or simply thought it was fun and told him every time they saw him.

What's more troublesome is that Margaret feels that she has a problem now. Although the slander is not true, Margaret can read the novels about her and Roy with great gusto while feeling ashamed. She also attends every game of Roy.

Because the competition and the novel were really good, she had been responding to inquiries from the outside world in this way, but as time went on, she felt that she was trying to cover up her mistake, which only made things more obvious.

"Well, it seems I have to find time to go back to Casimir and clarify this matter."

Margaret said silently in her heart, and then, Amiya pulled her arm and half-pushed her into the viewing room.

As the instigator of this incident, Miss Apofia, the current deputy editor-in-chief of Red Wine News, is not having a good time now.

The report in the novel "The Childhood Stories of the Shining Knight and the Falling Star Knight" was indeed in line with the Red Wine News' consistent style of false reporting, and could be regarded as the culmination of the Red Wine News' news reporting in 1094. It also directly made her, a young reporter who had been in the job for less than a year, become the deputy editor-in-chief of the Red Wine News and a candidate for the next editor-in-chief. But therein lay the problem. The influence of this report was so great that the editorial department of the Red Wine News was almost overwhelmed by the letters from readers who wrote every day wanting to read the sequel.

This is a terrible thing, because when people pay too much attention to new products, the demand for old products will plummet, so much so that in recent issues, the reading and purchase volumes of other reports in the Red Wine News have dropped sharply - not because they are not exciting enough or not topical enough, but compared to the new chapters with high expectations, other small gossips such as the Blood Knight's infection and the Candle Knight's shopping for peripherals are really not eye-catching enough.

Apofia even had no doubt that unless he came up with something as big as the gossip about the Black Knight and the Meteor Knight, the sales of the Red Wine Newspaper would continue to decline!

She could now feel the unfriendly looks from the other reporters and editors around her. If she continued like this, she would be eaten alive by them.

So the question is, since everyone is looking forward to the new chapter so much, why doesn't Apofia just write a new chapter?

The answer is simple: she can't write it.

Maria is no longer contributing.

Since the news broke, poor Maria has been severely reprimanded by Mauna, Zofia, and even the Grand Knight Commander. Although the fault cannot be attributed entirely to Maria, there is no doubt that without the stamp of approval from Maria, the "younger sister of the Linguang family", the influence of the Red Wine Newspaper report would not have reached its current height. At best, it would have been classified as gossip and jokes like those headless reports in the past, which were meant for fun but not to be taken seriously.

Maria didn't contribute, so we couldn't expect Apofia to write up the Lin Guang family's household affairs.avi by herself, right? Not to mention that she didn't have such a rich imagination, even if she did, the Lin Guang family, who had already reacted, and the Supervisory Committee would come out to refute the rumor as soon as possible - the previous article had already caused a misunderstanding, so could they let this one go?

"Alas, it's so difficult to write a news story these days."

Lying down on the chair and stretching her legs, Apofia complained while stretching lazily.

If she is not given some explosive news, her "legend of being the fastest editor-in-chief of Red Wine News and then being fired" will probably become the next explosive news.

"We have to think of a solution. How about... calling the God of Wealth?"

Apofia looked at her phone and swallowed. She hadn't dared to contact Roy since the news was published. She was afraid that Roy would scold her over the phone, and she was also afraid that Roy would find her through the phone line and teach her a lesson.

But now that her job was about to be lost, she could not care less. If Roy wanted to punish her, then let him punish her. As long as he did not kill her, even if he wanted to "punish" her, she had earned her hard-earned money through her own efforts.

Thinking of this, she picked up the terminal and dialed Roy's number.

"Drip-"

The phone was connected and Roy's voice came out:

"How dare you call me?"

Apophis laughed and explained shamelessly, "Haha, Mr. Roy, what are you talking about? We are good friends. I was a little busy recently and didn't have time to contact you. As soon as I was free, I called you immediately. How are you doing these days? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Now that you mention it, there is indeed big news." Roy said.

Apophis' eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly sat up straight, rubbing her legs, and asked impatiently:

"What's the big news?"

"Well..."

"I'm willing to do anything!" Apophi said without hesitation.

"I didn't tell you what to do." Roy smiled. "Don't worry. This matter will have to wait. How about this, come to room 23 on the 2301rd floor of the NOX Hotel tonight, and I will talk to you in person."

In the evening, go to the hotel and chat in person.

Apophis blushed and swallowed, but nodded immediately without hesitation:

"I see. Let me prepare myself."

Volume 1: Chapter 94: Scare You

Apophis dressed up nicely.

The dress, top hat, idol-style lace skirt, black and white striped over-the-knee socks, paired with the film's already excellent foundation, and some delicate light makeup, made her look like a princess from a fairy tale.

Knights have all kinds of strange habits, and the journalist industry also has all kinds of unspoken rules. Since entering this industry, Apophis has expected such a day to come. Anyway, it will happen one day or another. Roy is also a good candidate. Apart from the stories he made up, there is no scandal, which is enough to show Roy's character. As for the small rumors about the Candle Knight, Apophis knows it very well. In Casimir, all the hot knights have some rumors about the Candle Knight. This is basically a consensus. The authenticity can basically be said to be a slap in the face and identified as false. Moreover, Roy is now rich and famous, and will soon be awarded the title of a single-word knight. His future prospects are limitless, which will also help his career a lot.

Having prepared himself mentally, Apofia drove to the NOX Hotel himself the moment the time came. He ignored the strange look from the receptionist, walked straight into the elevator, and pressed the button for the 23rd floor.

The elevator soon made a ding sound and the iron door slowly opened. However, there was no light on in the corridor on the 2301rd floor. There was no light source in the dark corridor except for the fluorescent light of the house number. The number emitted a faint glow in the silent environment, which looked particularly creepy.

Apophis frowned slightly and tried stomping her feet, but the lights in the corridor still didn't come on.

"Broken? That shouldn't be the case."

This is the premier five-star hotel in the Grand Knights'. It should be impossible for the lights on an entire floor to be damaged.

Although the darkness did not affect Filin's vision, Apophis still felt an instinctive shudder. But thinking that 2301 was not far away and that she had come this far, there was no way she would retreat because of fear of the dark. She stepped out of the elevator, quickened her pace, and walked straight towards the half-open door.

"Hooah!"

She quickly slipped into the house and quickly closed the door. Apophis let out a long sigh, opened her eyes, and began to look around the house.

The headlights in the room were off, and only the dim yellow light of the night light barely illuminated the layout of the room. The quilt was neatly spread on the tidy bed, with no signs of anyone sitting on it. The TV was on, playing today's news on Casimir, about the scene of the search and arrest operation for foreign infected people who sneaked into Plot Zero. On the coffee table were peeled apples, but they seemed to have been there for a long time, and ants were already all over them. On the two chairs that were pulled apart, two cups of scarlet liquid were glowing strangely red under the reflection of the neon lights outside the window.

abnormal.

This was Apophis's first impression of the room. This was clearly not a love room prepared for a hidden affair with a reporter, but rather, more like a hotel room in some horror movie.

But there was no legend about the NOX Hotel being haunted! Besides, this was the place where Roy had arranged to meet him, so how could it be haunted?

Oh, and what about Roy? He should be the one who did all this, right?

Apophis glanced around, trying to find Roy. However, before she could actually walk out of the entrance, the sound of water splashing came from the bathroom next to her.

Apophis instinctively shuddered, looked in the direction of the bathroom, swallowed her saliva, and walked forward carefully, calling Roy's name while pushing open the bathroom door. The door was not locked, and with a slight sound of the door opening, the bathroom door slowly opened, and the sound of water came more clearly from the bathroom cubicle. Apophis stuck her head out and looked into the cubicle. There was a black figure lying in the bathtub full of water, and on the other side, the shower head was turned on in vain, and there was no figure under the shower head.

"Roy?" Apophis finally breathed a sigh of relief, took off the small bag on her shoulder, put it outside the bathroom, stepped on the overflowing hot water, and walked towards the bathroom cubicle.

"Have you fallen asleep while waiting for me? The water is overflowing, don't scare me."

Taking a deep breath and determined to not see the scenes that were not suitable for children, Apophis pushed open the sliding door of the cubicle and looked at the dark figure in the bathtub.

The person lying there was herself, or to be more precise, she was covered in wounds and bleeding profusely, so much so that her body had swelled up and overflowed from the bathtub.

"Alas!"

With a terrified scream, Apophis fell backwards to the ground, floundering backwards in the water using her hands and feet. After taking a few steps back, she bumped into the thigh of another figure.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a puppet."

A familiar voice came from behind her. With tears in her eyes, Apophis raised her head fearfully and finally met the eyes of the man she had been looking for.

"Roy, Roy, what are you doing, what is this?"

Getting up from the ground in a panic, Apophis rushed out of the bathroom like a flash, stood at the door and leaned against the door frame and asked,

"Why do you use this kind of thing to scare me? It's not fun at all!"

"Yeah, it's not fun at all. The new editor-in-chief of the Red Wine Newspaper was in trouble at work and met with a mysterious person late at night and died tragically in a hotel. This kind of news doesn't sound interesting."

Roy walked into the bathroom, took the swollen simulation doll out of the water, walked past Apophis with it, and threw it into the living room. The indescribable smell of blood immediately filled the room, making people nauseous.

But compared to the visual shock, Roy's words just now made Apophis feel more terrified. She subconsciously took a few steps back until she was blocked by the closed door. She had no choice but to stop and asked:

"What do you mean?"
