People in Terra, governing a weird little country

The things involved behind this are too big, she dare not check, dare not ask, dare not think about it. She didn't expect Ernst to be the middleman, but she didn't have the courage to ask her.

Casimir himself has powerful enemies outside and the Federation inside. Let the Yan people solve the Yan country's affairs themselves.

They should just organize their own International Games well.

"Go down, and don't tell anyone about what happened today. I have never investigated anything about Ernst and Yan Country, do you understand?"

The spy was stunned: "What are you talking about? What Yan Country? What Prime Minister Kjerag?"

Russell nodded in satisfaction.

The intelligence officer turned and left, and the guard at the door quickly notified the next visitor.

"Grand Knight Commander, Marna Linguang is looking for you."

Russell's eyebrows raised.

Ma Enna? This is really a case of one problem after another.

"Tell him to wait in the reception room. I'll be there soon."

Standing up, straightening his clothes, and thinking for a moment, Russell took out his sword from the weapons cabinet, put it on his waist, and left the office.

A moment later, the reception room.

When Russell walked into the reception room, Maina was holding a newspaper in her hand, frowning and looking conflicted.

"What are you looking at?"

Russell asked curiously.

Maena raised her head and looked at Russell:

"Ernst Shivaash's Gossip."

Russell blinked: "A new lace?"

"With the eldest daughter of the Victoria Shi Huaiya family. The Red Wine News reported that they spent a whole day together in the hotel. When they came out, Miss Shi Huaiya's face was flushed and she looked much more mature."

Russell was silent for a moment, and suddenly wanted to turn back and call the intelligence officer back.

Your ancestors were indeed very generous, but boy, why do I feel that you probably really accepted the 500,000 marks that Red Wine offered?

Russell said calmly with a straight face:

"It's just a rumor from the Red Wine News."

"I think so too. After all, there should be another girl with Ernst."

Russell: “……..?”

Where did you get this information?

She looked at Maina in surprise, but Maina had no desire to explain.

Regarding the matter of Hinterea, although he admitted that Ernst did a great job and took advantage of the situation to the fullest extent, and did not cause him any trouble, he was still tricked anyway.

It’s not shameful to say this, but it’s not something worth talking about.

What he was really worried about was that even if there was a 99% chance that the rumors made by the Red Wine News were false, what if there was a 1% chance that they were true?

Are the conditions that I wrote down a little unsafe for Margaret and Maria?

Mainna was rarely in a state of entanglement. As a family hero, it was difficult for him to make a choice between "Kjerag, where personal safety can be guaranteed, but life safety cannot be guaranteed" and "other countries where life safety can be guaranteed, but personal safety is very worrying."

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking so much. Anyway, I'll always see him when the time comes for that disgusting game."

Mauna muttered something, unzipped her briefcase, pulled out the bound contract, and handed it to Russell.

"You promised, if you meet these conditions, I will fight."

Russell was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

When the Chamber of Commerce proposed Mainna as the trump card player of the Casimir delegation, Russell actually had no hope.

Mainna is indeed very strong, but his hope of participating in the competition is inversely proportional to his strength.

Unexpectedly, the spokesperson of the Chamber of Commerce was able to convince him, which surprised Russell a little.

As for the conditions.

Russell opened the contract, flipped through it briefly, paused at the third paragraph on the second page, and looked at Maenna as if to confirm:

"I can guarantee that Margaret's exile will be lifted. As long as the Business Federation doesn't make trouble, the exile order could have been lifted long ago."

"But...are you really going to let them leave Casimir?"

Mauna nodded expressionlessly:

"It's not that I want to, but that I have to."

"But will Margaret agree? She always says that the Linguang family motto is to not fear hardship—"

The Grand Knight was interrupted by Mainna halfway through his speech.

The blond Kuranta in front of him, with wrinkles on his eyes, dark circles under his eyes, and a tired face, had a particularly resolute expression at this moment. So resolute that Russell could hardly recognize him.

"No family motto is more important than family."

He spoke slowly, his tone firm and unquestionable.

"If Margaret disagrees, I will beat her until she agrees. If she resists, I will break her legs. If she refuses to leave even at the cost of her life..."

"Just for my brother's sake, I will carry her out of Casimir even if I have to."

After saying this, Mainna glanced at the sword at Russell's waist and turned away without any reluctance.

That sword was the one he used when he was a ranger. After his brother Snitzer disappeared and his father Cyril died of illness, he refused to succeed the Long Knight of the Linguang family and even refused to become a knight. He also handed over this sword to the Supervisory Council.

He knew why Russell brought the sword, but he was no longer the unbridled and free-spirited knight.

This time, he was not doing it for his ideals, his family motto, or some damn Casimir.

He only fights for his family.

Chapter 382: Fremont is easy to beat

"What do the Supervisory Committee mean? What do you mean they can't investigate? What can't be investigated?"

"In the land of Casimir, there is no room for such a powerful person!"

"What? If they investigate, they might be charged with aiding and abetting a civil strife? That's fine. I think Russell knows how to act and how to retreat. He's very measured!"

The joint meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was still in chaos today.

Only Charne breathed a sigh of relief.

The news of Mauna's participation was undoubtedly a stabilizing force for him. Others, whether it was the Blood Knight or the Candle Knight, if the scale of the Knight Competition Special had not been expanded, they would theoretically have the qualifications to compete for the championship. But times have changed, and the situation must change with it.

Under the existing conditions, the two "aces" Blood Knight and Candle Knight are not so aces when it comes to dealing with the strongest men in Terra.

"It has to be Maenna."

With a sigh, Charney glanced at the speakers who were already celebrating and opening champagne at halftime, and couldn't help but sigh.

Although Mainna is indeed very strong, isn't it a bit too much for you to set such a flag?

What "Maenna is from the Linguang family, her strength is not much inferior to that of Silver Spear Pegasus!"

Maenna is indeed very strong, but Silver Spear Pegasus is no pushover either. Besides, have any of you ever really seen Maenna take action?

The name of the Lightless Knight has almost been forgotten by people in Casimir in recent years. If it weren't for Charne's suggestion, how many people would remember the person named Mauna?

And you, "If we win this game, we can settle accounts with the Supervisory Committee, right?"

How can you say such a thing! Not to mention that it is too early for the current Supervisory Commission to fall out with it. Are you doing this to give others a handle so that the radicals in the Supervisory Commission have a reason to attack us directly?

And you, what are you talking about? "Is Manna really that strong? Then why did he keep his past as a social animal and not just be a ranger?"

What? Your ancestors were authentic great knights and nobles. Have you ever seen people selling ditch in the light and even pouted?

Bullshit! The decline of the Linguang family has only happened in recent years. As one of the most famous Pegasus Knight noble families in Casimir, they have been prosperous for longer than your family tree. You are still selling ditches. Let me see your work badge!

Oh, you're the representative of Red Wine News. That's all right.

Blind self-confidence, quick victory theory, capitulationism, champagne at halftime, it was simply a gathering of heroes and a meeting of carrots. For a moment, Charney didn't know what to say to stop these people from saying anything.

But then he thought, that’s not right, what does this have to do with him?

He was just an ordinary spokesperson, representing the interests of Rose Newspapers. If they wanted to celebrate, they could celebrate. After all, when the boomerang hit his face, it wasn't him who was hurt.

Give up helping others and respect the fate of others.

After figuring this out, Charne suddenly felt that the world became much brighter.

"Let's take this opportunity to look at the roster and arrange the match between Dikaiopolis and Viviana."

Charne turned around, quietly slipped out of the venue and returned to his office.

On the table was the list of contestants that had been prepared long ago.

Theoretically, the list of participants in the Casimir International Games should only be known by the Knights Association, which is responsible for knightly competitions, and the Knights Association should make the utmost effort to keep it confidential in order to ensure the safety of life and property of athletes and guests.

But theory is theory, the theory is good, but it breaks down when it comes to execution.

Because there are many people who are capable and have already obtained this list.

The Supervisory Commission has undoubtedly obtained it. They are the representatives of public power and are responsible for contacting representatives of various countries, so they naturally have to keep the list in their own hands.

The spokespersons of the Business Federation naturally got it, and not only Charne, but any spokesperson who was interested in investing in this event would pay attention to the list of participants. As we all know, although the Knights Association maintained independence on the surface, 80% of the funds they needed for operation were funded by the charitable foundation under the name of the Business Federation.

You eat and drink other people's food, and you still want to talk about independence?

Isn't that a joke.

Therefore, the spokesperson of the Federation is basically in a state of "if you want it, you get it, if you want it", so it is not surprising that he got the list.

But Casimir's systemic corruption is clearly beyond recognition. There are many more people who have received this list.

Shi Huaiya also got it. The hotel, which was supposed to be upright and keep confidential, was obviously not so principled. If nothing unexpected happened, soon, the major casinos at the next level, which had small capital that was not qualified to enter the Business Federation, would also receive this list.

They were not in the eyes of the Business Federation, and could not participate in the official opening activities of "Cheering for the Knights You Like", so they could only make a little money. But it was also because of this that their intelligence channels were even more suspicious.

How many officials are secretly colluding? How many unknown people are selling information? If something goes wrong, is Casimir still too urban?

As a beneficiary of the entire systemic corruption, Charney chose not to think about these issues.

He opened the envelope, took out the list, and began to select opponents for the Blood Knight and the Candle Knight.

In his plan, the Blood Knight and the Candle Knight could only advance three rounds at most in the International Games.

Three rounds is the limit. If we go any further, the pressure we face will no longer be limited to Casimir. By then, if Charne can't bear it, then neither can the Blood Knight and the Candle Knight.

Therefore, these three rounds must be exciting enough, preferably evenly matched, with a narrow victory. Only in this way can it be interesting enough to maintain the fan base of the Blood Knight and the Candle Knight who cannot achieve good results in the International Games.

Even if the ending has been decided lightly, making the choice is still a technical job.

He looked at the list.

The first one is Mainna Linguang, the Lightless Knight. No need to say more, pass.

Second place, Jeston Williams. Kjerag representative. This one... also passed.

Charne was also an insider of the Rose Arena competition. A warrior who could fight the Yan Nation Grandmaster on equal terms, his strength should not be underestimated. It would be too risky to let one of the Blood Knights and the Candle Knights meet him in the first round.

The third place is Zhongyue. The Yan country team also passed for the same reason as above.

Fourth place, Beatrix Swire, Longmen team.

Charne frowned and fell into thought.

This person doesn’t seem to be very powerful, but the problem is that his identity is somewhat sensitive.

But to be honest, among those who are qualified to participate in the sports games, he has never seen anyone whose identity is not sensitive.

Even if it was Jeston, as a representative of Kjerag and the person who proposed the International Games, he couldn't just arrange for someone to lose in the first round because of the social etiquette.

Well, let's check this for now. Put her in the same group with the Candle Knight.

Having made up his mind secretly, Charne took out Shi Huaiya's registration form separately.

One more to go.

Charne searched again, his eyes lit up, and he chose a person.
