Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

Seeing Maria lowering her head, Martin and Koval's hearts suddenly started to ring with alarm bells.

Could it be that what the two people speculated just now was true, and Maria was bewitched by that pretty boy?

To be honest, the two elders' ability to associate and their reaction to this matter are a bit too much.

到时候真到了合适的岁数，谁敢娶你家丫头啊，真不怕被揍扁了吗？

"Maria, are you hiding something from us?"

Martin asked with a serious expression, and his address changed from "girl" to "Maria".

"No, no, hey, Uncle Martin, how could I deliberately hide something from you."

Well, the cross-server communication has begun, and both sides are talking about completely different things.

"Maria, although I really don't want to say this, the knights today are no longer the same as they were when we were young."

This time, it was a lucky coincidence. Maria quickly captured the key word "Knight".

Oh no, could it be that Uncle Martin and Master Koval know that I’m secretly going to sign up for the preliminaries?

"Hey, girl, you don't have to hide it from us. We all know that you are old enough to get involved in this kind of thing."

Martin sighed and spoke earnestly.

Does this mean that I am old enough to shoulder the responsibility of the Linguang family?

Maria suddenly felt the pressure in her heart increasing again.

"It's not easy to become a real knight. Moreover, most knights are just in name only."

Koval also sighed and spoke with equal earnestness.

"Master Koval, I........."

Now that things have come to this, has everything been seen through? It seems that I have no choice but to tell it all.

"Girl, you must be very careful and cautious about this kind of thing. Don't choose the wrong path because of a momentary impulse."

"No, Uncle Martin, Master Koval, I have made up my mind to do this. This is not an impulse, but a decision I made after careful consideration."

Maria took a deep breath and then spoke.

"I want to participate in the knight's tournament."

"No, we are different..............Hmm? Knight's Contest?"

"Hey, isn't this about the knight competition?"

The three of them looked at each other.

Chapter 504 Please!

"Yuan, so that's it."

After Maria explained to Martin and Koval, they both laughed embarrassedly.

"So what did the two elders think of at the beginning?"

Now it was Maria's turn to be curious.

"Ahem, it's nothing, it's just us overthinking it."

Martin glanced at Koval beside him and complained in a low voice.

"Alas, we really thought too much and wrongly blamed that boy."

"That's what I said. That boy looks quite decent. It wouldn't be surprising if he became a knight."

Well, now you like Beichen again, right?

"So Uncle Martin, Master Koval, do you agree with my participation in the knight competition?"

Maria asked a little excitedly. He thought the two elders would refuse mercilessly.

“Oh, it’s just a knight competition… Wait, a knight competition? Maria, are you serious?”

Martin thought about it carefully and felt that something was not right. Why did Maria suddenly propose to participate in the knight competition?

Although it is much better than what they initially thought, it is not a good thing either.

Especially Martin, as a retired competitive knight, he knows too much about the crooked ways involved.

"Maria, have you really thought about this seriously?"

Martin asked, Maria usually wouldn't do anything without a purpose, she must have her own reasons for making such a decision.

Maria also explained to the two the current predicament of the Linguang family, including the fact that if no knights appeared in the Linguang family, their title of knight nobility would be revoked.

When Martin and Koval heard that the Linguang family was about to be stripped of their knightly nobility titles, they fell silent, their expressions becoming even more serious than before.

"To think... this would happen."

Martin said as he looked at Maria in front of him.

Yes, Maria has indeed grown up and is now a big girl.

Although Martin and Koval were unwilling to place such a heavy burden on Maria, they also did not want Maria to participate in the knight competition.

But they were not qualified to make decisions for Maria.

This is something she must do and only she can do.

Are you expecting Margaret to suddenly drop in on Casimir and sort this all out?

No, it seems that this is how the story ends...

"Girl, if this is your decision, we will all support you."

Koval said, and Martin nodded.

"I will definitely not let you two down!"

Seeing Maria's cheerful look, Koval sighed and reached out to tap her on the head.

"Girl, you said you were going to participate in the knight competition. You didn't make any preparations, did you?"

Are you going to go up and fight your opponent bare-handed while wearing a skirt?

"Hey, Master Koval, don't underestimate me. I prepared a set of armor in advance. After I modified it myself, it now fits you perfectly."

Maria said proudly, her hands on her hips.

When these words were spoken, both of them were stunned.

Martin looked at Koval with a puzzled look, and Koval waved his hands hurriedly and said.

"Don't look at me. I didn't teach her that."

Koval looked at Maria and asked

"Girl, what kind of armor is that? Let me see. Also, besides the armor, you will need a lot of other things. You probably haven't prepared those."

Maria said sheepishly: "In fact, I haven't even chosen a suitable weapon."

Martin and Koval both showed expressions of "as expected", which made Maria a little unhappy. She pouted and continued.

"Anyway, Master Koval and Uncle Martin will help me, right? I'll go home and get the things now."

Before the two could say anything, Maria ran out of the bar and soon even her shadow could not be seen.

"Corvo, it looks like we'll be busy for a while."

Martin began to speak.

"Hahaha, how long has it been since I used a hammer to hit something serious like this? I hope my skills are still there."

Koval opened the tool box's compartment, revealing a set of tools that looked meticulously maintained.

"It's a pity that there is no suitable place in your bar, otherwise I would show you my skills."

"Go away, go away. I can't build a forge for you in this small place. You should go back to your own home and do it."

Soon, Maria returned to the bar carrying a big bag, and she was really fast.

"I am back!"

Maria put the bag in her hand on the table and took out the contents. It turned out to be a piece of armor that looked quite ordinary.

"Hey, why aren't you talking?"

Maria looked at Martin and Koval with some confusion.

"Girl, did you buy a set of toys.............."

"Eh eh eh?"

Koval reached out his hand towards the armor, picked it up, and spoke.

"I bet you've never tried this thing on."

Koval spoke up.

"Well, there really isn't... So is it a big problem?"

"Martin, what do you think?"

Koval asked.

"Only independent knights who don't expect to get any ranking would wear this mediocre armor. The material is too cheap, it doesn't provide enough defense, and it's also very heavy."

Martin opened his mouth to answer.

"Oh, is that so?"

Maria said a little aggrieved.

"The qualifiers will start the day after tomorrow... It looks like I will miss a lot of the early games."

After all, it takes time to create a set of protective gear and weapons for Maria from scratch.

"Maria, you are not allowed to sneak away and sign up before your armor and weapons are made. The Knights' Competition is no joke."

Martin opened his mouth and warned.

"What about speed races and shooting competitions that don't involve direct combat?"

"It takes more time to build the armor used in the speed race, and it is difficult to get high scores. As for the archery competition, girl, do you really know how to use a bow and a crossbow?"

"Hehe, no."

Maria said, sticking out her tongue.

"Then you should just participate in other competitions honestly. By the way, have you told Zofia about this?"

Seeing the expression on Maria's face suddenly stiffen, Martin and Koval immediately knew what was going on.

"So you kept this from Zofia?"

"Ahhhh, don't tell my aunt, she will definitely not agree to let me participate in the knight competition. And Uncle Marner, please don't tell him, please!"

"Silly girl, even if we don't tell them, as long as you participate in the competition, it will definitely be exposed."

Martin sighed and spoke.

"Eh? Well, it seems to be true."

Maria was stunned for a moment, then continued.

"But, after I join the competition, I will already be a knight. They won't stop me from playing in the subsequent competitions, right?"

"Well, considering Zofia's personality, she might really do something like this."

Martin began to speak.

"Oh, never mind, never mind. As long as my grades are good enough, my aunt will be impressed by me. Of course, there is no reason to stop me."

Maria said confidently.

"Ah, silly girl, knight competition is not such an easy thing."
