Uncle, I am not an ordinary office worker.

Mauna's frown deepened, and she couldn't help but scold out loud.

What he meant by saying this was not that Margaret should sever ties with the Linguang family. After all, they are a family, and should bear both glory and desolation together. Just like back then, Margaret insisted on going to the arena, saying it was her own decision, but the turmoil after winning the championship was all dealt with by the seriously ill old Linguang.

He hoped that Margaret would realize that she must be a responsible person and must consider her family in everything she does. Otherwise, she would never be able to support the Linguang family in the future and would only bring about her own destruction.

As long as she realizes this and learns this, then what's wrong with Maenna recognizing her and even helping her? Who dares to question the path chosen by a mature golden Pegasus?

But he didn't say these words.

Firstly, he was not the kind of person who would keep nagging Margaret. Secondly, he thought it was meaningless if Margaret did not realize these principles herself.

Thirdly, although he would definitely not admit it, he was actually quite dumb at speaking. He couldn't say anything even if he had something to say. He looked like he was saying, "I have my own difficulties but I won't tell you," which was really suffocating.

Knowing that Margaret was not yet mature, Mayenna gave up the idea of ​​continuing the conversation. She let out a breath and said:

"Okay, I know why you came back. You want to find Roy, right?"

Margaret nodded immediately: "Yes, and Maria!"

"I've spanked her butt for you. If you want to do it again, go to your aunt's house to find her. Her aunt will take care of her when I'm not in the Great Knight Territory." Maenna instructed, "As for Roy, most people speculate that he left the Great Knight Territory to look for you, but he told me some information before he left."

Margaret asked curiously, "What information?"

Unexpectedly, Ma Enna immediately shook her head: "You are not worthy of knowing now."

Do you know that it is a natural behavior to only say half of the words and keep people in suspense? Although I can't scold you or beat you, I can glare at you!

Margaret used the Stare Technique, and Mainna used the adult technique [Hold On], which invalidated Margaret's skill.

A mere glare had no effect on the time-tested social animalism tactics, and Marna had no desire to explain, so Margaret could only curl her lips helplessly.

"However, what I can tell you is that he should pass through the border area soon. If you are lucky, you may meet him and another powerful guy on the road. He is an Agor. Do you know what an Agor is?"

Maenna's voice suddenly quickened, as if she couldn't wait to explain Roy's "General Theory of the Agorians" to her niece. Unexpectedly, Margaret just nodded as a matter of course:

"I know. The place I work at now is called Rhode Island, a pharmaceutical company, and there is a special Agor who is receiving treatment there."

The reason why it is special is that in Margaret's worldview, oripathy is undoubtedly an incurable disease. When oripathy infects the nerves, it is already in the absolute late stage. Not to mention surviving, whether there is time to buy a coffin is another matter. But there is an Agor oripathy patient on the island. It is said that her spinal cord is full of high-purity Originium concentrate, but she is not only alive, but also alive and kicking, and can participate in some simple battles. Her strength is a bit abnormal.

This extraordinary event once made the Agor a focus of attention on Rhodes Island, and many operators began to pay attention to this rare race of Agor. It was not until Dr. Kal'tsit began to personally take charge of the health check and file data of the operator [Ghost Shark] that the matter was gradually suppressed.

Therefore, she had some understanding of the Agor people. She knew that most of them lived in Iberia, but their roots were actually in the sea. They had their own country, which was much larger than imagined.

This made Maenna's words stuck, and his face became even worse. He could only wave his hand, as if he didn't want to see you again, and said:

"Go along this sewer until you reach the corner and then go up. That's the exit from the city. Find a middleman outside the city and tell him Tolan's name. Ask them to take you to Tolan's camp and tell him who you are. He will send you to the Great Knight. If you want to find Roy first, go south, closer to Iberia. Roy should be going that way."

Margaret nodded: "Understood!"

PS: Transition chapter

Volume 1: Chapter 136: The Forest Ranger

Casimir, the Ranger's headquarters.

The forest ranger's base camp was built in a natural cave with a total of four exits. The surrounding area was heavily guarded. The garrison guarded each cave exit and occupied high ground to observe the surroundings to prevent sneak attacks.

Nature is indeed amazing. Even an assassin-type berserker like Roy, who prides himself on having a good sense of direction, felt a little dizzy after wandering around for more than a dozen times after entering the ranger base camp. It is hard to imagine how the ranger teams, who have to set out from the depths of the cave every day to carry out missions in various places, can avoid getting lost.

"A good Kuranta can always find the direction to move forward. This is called an old horse knowing the way."

Anbenal explained to Roy seriously, and at the same time, the signal for passage was sent from the outpost. He turned around, waved at Roy, and walked into the three-story wooden building in front of him.

This not-so-grand building built in the cave is the core center of the entire Casimir Rangers. Roy thought it should be a busy scene with people coming and going, but when he actually stepped into it, he found it was terribly desolate.

In the center of the empty hall was a small sculpture. On the sculpture was the tall figure of a ranger, holding a crossbow in one hand and a knife in the other, trampling an Ursus man under his feet. Above the blade of his sword, a tattered flag of the Ursus Empire fluttered like a rag, as if telling of the ranger's exploits.

As if he noticed Roy's curious gaze, or perhaps out of pride and the friendship between host and guest, Anbenal took the initiative to introduce Roy:

"The name of this statue is "The Conquest of Ursus". The one holding the crossbow and the long sword is the original Ranger: Robin Hood. He rose in the ninth Uka War and established the Ranger organization. Later, in the tenth Uka War, he led the Rangers to cooperate with the Knights of War to defeat the Third Army of Ursus. This statue describes the scene of him leading the Rangers to sweep the Ursus scouts during the Battle of the White Mountains. In that battle, the Ursus people stepped into the ambush of the Rangers and the Knights of War because of false intelligence, and were finally wiped out at the mouth of the Tennant Mountains."

Seeing that Anbenal knew everything, Roy nodded and asked curiously:

"Then why is it called "The Conquest of Ursus"? "

"Because no matter how many times the Ursus invasion of Casimir happens, the same result will only be achieved!" Anbennar said firmly.

However, just as he finished speaking, another strange voice came from the corridor:

"I recognize your courage, Anbenal, but I do not recommend that anyone underestimate the power of Ursus, especially at a time like this."

Roy's gaze turned towards the corridor, and an old man with a handsome face, gray hair and a pair of black-framed glasses strode out from outside the corridor. Even if it was the first time he saw him, he gave people a feeling of steadiness and determination.

He nodded to Anbenal, then extended his hand to Roy and introduced himself:

"Mikhail, Staff Officer of the Forest Rangers, nice to meet you, Knight Heng, I have long heard of your name."

Roy waved his hand. He didn't like this kind of polite and testing atmosphere. He said decisively: "Don't be so polite. Just call me Roy. I'm here to help you. There's no need to be too polite."

The old man's eyes flickered, and he nodded slightly, then turned sideways to lead the way for Roy.

"Then come over here. The other two are waiting for you in the war room, Sir Roy."

The thing that was most lacking in the combat meeting room was quarrels. Perhaps it was because Mikhail, the most stable man, had just gone out, but within just a few minutes, the two people in the meeting room started quarreling again.

A tall, short-haired, decent-looking young woman leaned on the edge of the sand table and said loudly:

"The rangers should gather together immediately and recall the teams that are still on missions outside. We should first conduct an internal review and clean up, and then make plans after finding the traitor!"

On the other side, the bearded, one-eyed middle-aged man also refused to give in:

"You absolutely cannot do this. There has never been a precedent for calling all the rangers back to the base camp! Do you know how many defense gaps will appear on our border if you do this? Do you know how many rangers who were not originally affected by this incident will panic if you do this? Do you know that if you do this and fail to find the traitor in time, the rangers may be wiped out?"

The young woman just shook her head unreasonably and retorted:

"So what? Will the things you said not happen now? More than ten teams of our people have been killed, and the gap in the defense line is too big to be filled. Those rangers who have not been attacked may be in danger at any time, and they have the right to know the truth! If we don't recall them, once the connection between the base camp and the rangers in various places is completely cut off, we will be separated, and then we won't even have a chance to resist!"

The one-eyed middle-aged man stiffened his neck stubbornly. He knew his companion was right, but it was impossible for him to change his mind because of that.

It would be too risky to recall the ranger at this time!

Standing outside the door, Roy also heard the quarrel inside. He turned his head to look at Mikhail beside him, and raised his hand to hold down his hand that was about to open the door.

"Wait, I want to know first, why are they arguing so loudly?"

It was normal for people in a camp to quarrel because of disagreements, but now the organization was in a life-and-death situation. If they couldn't unite as one, they would be courting their own destruction. Roy didn't believe that the ranger didn't understand this.

“But that’s where the problem lies.”

Mikhail sighed and explained in a low voice:

"The Forest Rangers don't have a leader in the strict sense. After the death of the original Forest Ranger Robin Hood, the Forest Rangers have always been managed by a three-person staff meeting. In order to ensure the balance of power within the Forest Rangers, the three-person meeting generally represents three forces."

"The female voice you heard was from Natasha. She represents the war orphans among the rangers. During the protracted Uka War and border conflicts, too many children became orphans. The rangers adopted them and raised them. Most of them also joined the rangers and regarded the rangers as their second home."

"And the male voice you heard was Brutus. He is the representative of the veterans in the Rangers. Just as the name suggests, he represents those veterans who were forced to retire from the battlefield due to injuries, illness, or age. They joined the Rangers, hoping to continue to shine for this country."

“And that’s the problem.”

Mikhail sighed again.

"Natasha wants to protect the family of rangers and hates the traitor to the core, so she demands that all rangers be recalled immediately to conduct an internal review and catch the traitor."

"But Brutus firmly opposed it. To him, even if the Rangers were destroyed, the organization could still be rebuilt. He wanted to firmly protect this country, so he would not allow any Ranger to leave his patrol route, even if he had to hide all of them, even if they could die at any time."

Volume 1: Chapter 137: Is there enough furniture in the staff room?

We often say that we need unity, seek common ground while reserving differences, and eliminate the impact of external factors on internal stability.

Roy used to think that it was unreasonable for a team to quarrel or even split up because of disagreements. Many times, if we just change our perspective, everyone can live well. Organizations formed for the same purpose are inclusive of all kinds of ideas. Why would someone insist on killing all dissidents?

Even the capitalists in the Chamber of Commerce knew that they had to give up some of their own interests for the sake of the overall situation, and even suffer some losses, because they knew that only by banding together could they fight against the Supervisory Council, which represented the traditional aristocratic forces. If those insects could understand this truth, wouldn't the forest ranger understand it?

However, when Roy really stood in this position, he realized that the rangers not only understood, but they understood it too well, which led to the current situation.

Natasha is a war orphan. The people she represents suffered brutal massacres in Ursus. Their parents might be unarmed peasants or experienced warriors, just like Ballot. Isn’t she the new generation of rangers nurtured by the previous generation of rangers in the war?

If you ask her if she knows the importance of defending her country and whether she is willing to sacrifice for her country, Roy is sure that this question is a humiliation to her. Ballot, who does not hold a high position, can sacrifice her life to leave information about the traitor for the ranger. She can step by step stand at the position of staff officer. Who can question the hardships she has experienced and the sacrifices she has made?

But sacrificing for the country is fine, but what about her family? Casimir doesn't have the strong sense of family and country as Yan, and the atmosphere of big country and small family. In her heart, family is as important as country. Aren't her family the people she needs to protect? How can she allow the existence of a beast like Neigui who betrayed her family, and sit back and watch the Ursus people raise the knife to kill her family who had no idea about it?

If there is a chance to protect it from the beginning, who would be willing to take revenge afterwards?

What's more, if the traitor still exists, even if we insist on not recalling the rangers, those rangers who cannot contact the central base will become scattered after losing their guidance and be divided and annihilated by the Ursus people.

To protect the home is to protect the country. Instead of delaying here, it is better to give the order immediately. Every minute saved can preserve the rangers' strength!

However, her proposal encountered unprecedented opposition, and this opponent actually came from another staff officer of the same rank, who was also her adoptive father, the former knight Brutus.

Natasha is a war orphan. It was Brutus who led the Rangers to rescue her from the village burned and looted by Ursus. Brutus adopted her and led her to join the Rangers. He has always been the person she respects the most. It is precisely because of this relationship that the relationship between the three upper-level meetings of the Rangers has always been known for its harmony. Their parents are also known as the heroic parents of the Rangers, who have overcome countless difficulties hand in hand.

Natasha clearly remembered that what she liked to listen to most in her childhood were the stories about knights fighting that Brutus told her. The most exciting time was when she and Brutus carried out a mission together for the first time. But she didn't expect that what made her most angry would be the moment when Brutus stopped her.

"We must not recall the patrols. The safety of the defense line cannot be ignored. Recalling them now would mean leaving the gates wide open, putting the knights stationed at the border and several mobile cities that have not had time to adjust their routes in danger! That's millions of people!"

"You are too impulsive, Natasha. Ever since the Forest Rangers set foot on the battlefield against Ursus, they have been ready to die. Now is the time! I have sent people on three fronts to deliver the message to the Knights of War, the Mobile City, and the National Council of the Supervisory Council. The 12th Uka War may break out at any time. Especially at this time, no one can leave their post without permission!"

"I have performed my duty faithfully and died loyally. If they want to hate me, they can hate me."

"I!"

"stop fighting!"

The door of the Operations Staff Office opened again, and Mikhail, the last of the three staff officers of the Forest Ranger, walked into the room with a serious expression and said coldly:

"Be quiet, you are making a fool of yourself. If even you can't keep calm at a time like this, the rangers will become a mob!"

Natasha, who was about to argue, was startled when she heard this, pursed her lips, and even lowered her head in shame. On the other side, Brutus also took a deep breath, closed his mouth, and cast a consulting look at Mikhail, obviously wanting him to make the final decision.

This scene made Roy raise his eyebrows in surprise, and he turned his head to look at Mikhail.

The staff officer who came out to greet him seemed to have a very high status among the three forest rangers.

Natasha is obviously a girl with a Margaret character. She does what she says without any twists and turns. She is also a person with firm beliefs (and a stubborn temper). When Mikhail yells at her, she actually gives in even when she is so angry. And Brutus, according to Mikhail's introduction, is Natasha's adoptive father, a very experienced ranger, who would also ask Mikhail for advice at such times.

Speaking of which, Roy did forget to ask, which faction did Mikhail represent among the rangers?

He is not a war orphan nor a retired soldier. What supports Mikhail's high reputation?

Putting this doubt aside for the time being and planning to ask Anna, Ballot or Anbenal later, Roy looked at the two people in the staff department who seemed a little confused after Mikhail's introduction.

"This is Roy, the Knight of Heng, the champion of the 23rd Knight Competition. He and his companions accidentally rescued two rangers who were attacked by Ursus while traveling in the wild, and helped them get in touch with the rescue team. After informing us of the situation, he expressed his willingness to assist us, and Anbenal brought him back to the camp."

"You saved two rangers?" Natasha asked excitedly, "Who were they?"

Roy answered truthfully, "An Elafia named Anna, and a Kuranta named Barot."

"Barrot, she's still alive, that's great." Natasha breathed a sigh of relief. "When she lost contact, I was thinking about how I would explain to her parents after I died. She was still so young."

A rare smile appeared on her tense face. Although she felt a little tired and bitter, she still tried her best to invite him warmly:

"If you have nothing else to do later, please come to my camp. I need to thank you for saving my family."

"Natasha, is it time to have a banquet now?" Brutus retorted, making the atmosphere that had just eased tense again. "Mikhail said that Mr. Roy came to help us. A competitive knight, oh, how capable are you? The Ursus people are not just showy fighters in the arena. If you don't have that ability, pack up and go home as soon as possible. Don't get involved in this kind of thing!"

"Of course, you saved two rangers. I will remember this feat. I will arrange two people to escort you and ensure that you can safely cross the wilderness and return to the Great Knight's Territory. How do you think?"

Roy's eyes flashed, and he had something in mind.

Miss Natasha is loyal and considers her family as her life. She is very enthusiastic about saving Anna and Ballot, while Mr. Brutus is more focused on strength and is a former knight, so he is not very friendly to himself as a competitive knight. This is in line with the personalities they showed at the beginning.

I had just arrived, and I didn't expect to be able to guess who the lurking traitor was at the first sight. However, I definitely couldn't leave.

Let me show you a little bit of my skills first.

"Mr. Brutus seems to doubt my ability, so...."

Roy was not in a hurry. He performed a martial arts opening move with ease and said:

"I'll just give a little proof."

【Zhongyue】module, loaded.

There is still enough furniture in the staff room!

PS: I accidentally poured a whole cup of hot water on the keyboard last night, and the keyboard is completely broken.

The new keyboard hasn’t arrived yet, so I can only use the laptop keyboard for now, which is uncomfortable.

Volume 1: Chapter 138: Flying flowers and plucked leaves can all hurt people!

"Boom boom boom! Boom!"

“It doesn’t matter whether it’s formed or not, whether it’s intentional or not, go back and practice again!”

Outside the staff room, a passing ranger poked the arm of the person next to him and pointed at the closed door of the staff room curiously: "What's going on in there?"
