People in Terra, governing a weird little country

"Ruined!"

Cintrea pressed her chest and could easily feel her heartbeat, as if she had left her heart outside.

Obviously, she is very insecure.

Plus, the cute killer moves she had shown before...

Aaaaaaaaaah! It’s over!

Xinteleya lowered her head, hugged her head, and fell into a depressed state.

Ernst looked at her in confusion, then glanced at Shi Huaiya and said in a daze:

"What's up with her?"

Shi Huaiya shrugged and quoted a classic line from The Legend of King Arthur:

"I don't know. I don't understand people's hearts."

Chapter 418: Encounter at the Champion Memorial Hall

Ernst didn't know what was bothering Hinterea, but as soon as she returned to the hotel, she locked herself in the room and said she wanted to try a different style.

This ruined Ernst's plan.

It was a rare occasion that there was no competition scheduled for today, and he also wanted to go out for a walk with Xinteleya, go shopping or something like that.

Although Casimir is not good in this aspect compared with other countries, it has its own strengths, and its capitalism is indeed very well developed.

Compared to other Terra countries that are limited to upper-class cocktail parties, banquets, masquerade balls and other entertainments, Casimir does have more and richer goods and entertainment methods, and these goods and entertainment methods are not limited to a certain class, but are popularized to the general public of Casimir citizens.

Why is capitalism more advanced than feudalism? One important reason is that productivity has been greatly liberated. What is a major feature of the liberation of productivity? To describe it in a line from an ancient poem by Ernst in his previous life, it is "the swallows that used to fly in front of the halls of the rich and powerful now fly into the homes of ordinary people."

It was a rare opportunity, and Ernst also wanted to walk around and have a look in Casimir.

It's not all public-spirited, there are also some selfish motives.

After all, Kjerag's merchandise was not rich enough. After noticing that Hinterea envied Shi Huaiya's outfit, Ernst decided to spend some money to buy some clothes, delicacies, knight competition peripherals and the like, and bring them back to Kjerag as employee benefits.

Unfortunately, Xinteleya didn't look like she wanted to go out.

Ernst shrugged helplessly and had to go out alone.

The streets of Casimir are very prosperous. Most of the people walking on the streets are Casimir's native race, the "Kuranta", or ponies. Because of the holding of the International Games, Ernst also saw more figures of other races.

Caprini and Elafia were more eye-catching, mostly wearing dark Letania-style dresses or long skirts that indicated their identities. Some tourists from Colombia dressed more casually and modernly. Even though it was late autumn and the beginning of winter, they still wore short-sleeved cropped pants, belly-exposing hot pants, and a determination to prefer style to temperature.

Ernst admired them very much, and wondered if these people could maintain their composure if they went to Kjerag.

Tsk, I really want to pack up all these people and take them to Kjerag! So many tourists, so jealous!

Ernst pursed his lips and followed the signs to the square of the Champion Memorial Hall.

Casimir Knights Association, Champion Memorial Hall.

This is an exhibition hall commemorating the knight competition champions of all generations. The names and portraits of the knights who won the special championship will be hung on the walls for later generations and visitors to admire.

Probably to expand the influence of knightly competitions, the Chamber of Commerce has rarely stipulated that there are no tickets for the exhibition hall itself. However, if you plan to offer flowers to the portrait of the knight, you still have to buy the flowers at the front desk.

When Ernst walked into the memorial hall, there were not many visitors, mostly Leitanians.

The people of Casimir are not interested in things like memorials. When someone wins the championship, it may be lively here for a few days, and a group of locals will come with terminals to check in and linger, psing a "witness of history". But at other times, people who have free time to visit the memorial don't have that interest, and people who are interested in visiting the memorial, haha, are they done with overtime?

In contrast, the main visitors to the memorial are those who come to see the novelty and understand the historical context of knightly competitions, and the Leitanians who think that visiting the memorial is "classy".

The layout of the museum is also very clear. The portrait of the Black Knight, the champion of the 19th, 20th and 21st time, is hung on the wall that can be seen at the entrance. Obviously, as the biggest contributor to the real "breakthrough" of the knight competition sport, the Business Federation did not hesitate to give her a "tablet".

She also has the most flowers under her portrait

In the middle, the portrait of the 22nd champion, [Shining Knight] Margaret Linguang, disappeared. That was naturally removed by the Business Federation. As a sinner "exiled" by the National Council, Margaret would naturally not be allowed to have a place for people to admire and worship.

If it weren't for Lin Guang's wealth and power, which could not be erased from the history of Casimir, the Chamber of Commerce might have made the name Margaret "completely disappear" from every corner of Casimir.

There was just an empty wall anyway.

Next to it, a portrait of the Blood Knight has been hung, with a number of flowers underneath.

Ernst took a look at the Blood Knight in the portrait and found it difficult to connect the serious-looking, intimidating, and even somewhat frightening man in the portrait with the easy-going and gentle man with plump hooves.

Is this probably the character created for him by the Business Federation?

Ernst was just about to go back and look at Casimir's previous champions when he heard the sound of armor colliding behind him.

He turned around and saw a tall red figure passing by him and coming to the Champions Wall, in front of the empty seat of [Shining Knight].

Looking at the empty wall, he was silent for a while, then suddenly turned his head towards Ernst and asked:

"Where did the Pegasus here go?"

He wasn't very fluent in speaking and had a slight stutter, but one could just about make out that he was speaking Casimir.

Ernst had been cramming for a while and understood these simple words. He looked at the man in front of him, who was half a head taller than him and covered his face with a blood-red distorted mask and hood, with some surprise, and replied:

"Removed."

The voice paused for a moment, as if thinking about the words, and then continued to ask:

"why?"

"She is an infected person. She made a mistake and was exiled."

Ernst tried to speak out word by word. This time, he obviously understood faster, but he laughed unexpectedly:

"Haha, stupid!"

"Exile Pegasus, the Casimir people, how arrogant."

He looked at Ernst and asked:

"Where should I go to find her?"

Ernst blinked and wanted to say, "I don't know." But when the words came to his lips, he had other thoughts and asked back:

"Not many people want to find her now. Why are you looking for her?"

"Find her, fight her, defeat her, conquer her, and complete my journey to heaven!"

Without a moment's hesitation, the man declared to Ernst in rare and fluent Casimir.

Obviously, this was not the first time he had repeated this sentence, and judging from the fact that he had run all the way here, he was most likely either misunderstood or fooled.

"So, you know where she is?"

Ernst blinked, thought for a moment, and shook his head:

"I can't tell you."

Ernst certainly had an idea about Margaret Lingguang's whereabouts.

Rhode Island, where else?

In the few plots he knew, Margaret had shown up as an operator of Rhodes Island.

But Rhodes Island is Kjerag's partner, and Kal'tsit is his best Terran Encyclopedia. The man in front of him looks interesting, but interesting often means "trouble". Ernst has no intention of bringing trouble to his friend.

His target was Margaret, and what he wanted to accomplish was "Heavenly Path". Ernst seemed to have seen this word in an ancient book preserved in Manzhuyuan before, but he couldn't remember what it was about.

But no matter what, the words "battle", "defeat", and "conquer" clearly carry a sense of war frenzy, so after thinking about it, I decided to just forget it.

Unexpectedly, after getting Ernst's answer, the mysterious red-armored man did not ask further questions or press the issue, but remained silent. The eyes behind the strange mask stared at Ernst for a long time before finally turning his head and saying calmly:

"My name is Tora."

"If you ever want to tell me, please find me and tell me. It's really important to me!"

"Thank you."

"Goodbye."

After he finished speaking, he took a step forward and left the memorial hall amid the sound of armor clashing, which left Ernst a little dazed.

Hey, did I make a mistake?

This guy is quite polite!

Chapter 419 Kal'tsit: I choked you twice!

"Have you heard? The fight between Victoria's two representative teams was really intense!"

"Yeah, the swordsman from the Windermere team is really terrifying. I've never seen a fighting style like that. Does she really want to die?"

"But it's cool, isn't it? 'I am Windermere's sword guard, Victoria's sword! Fiona Young, a member of the Stormtroopers, from the moment you worked for the Duke of Castor, your city-breaking spear can no longer represent Victoria!', wow, it's so cool! This kind of direct denial of the other party's position, the feeling of who else but me, is much cooler than those fancy opening words made by the Business Federation!"

"He is handsome, but does anyone know who is stronger, the Windermere Sword Guards or the Storm Commandos?"

"Of course, the Windermere Sword Guards will defeat the Storm Commandos in one second!"

"What are you talking about? Didn't it end up being a draw? Fiona wasn't even serious! If she had been serious, the Storm Commandos would have defeated the Sword Guards in seconds!"

"........"

"There's no point in talking any more, let's fight!"

Seeing that the two were about to start a fight, Ernst, who was sitting by the window in the cafe, picked up the ceramic cup and took a sip. The slightly bitter taste immediately made him feel more refreshed.

These two Casimir people have no idea about the origins of the Duke of Windermere's Sword Guards and the Victorian Storm Commandos, but this still led to a hearty cricket debate, which seemed to be evolving from a literary duel to an offline solo. It has to be said that it was quite interesting.

Sure enough, no matter in which world, which era, or among which group of people, cricket fighting is our enduring hobby.

Unfortunately, Ernst was unable to continue listening to the quarrel between the two guests because he was being questioned by the terrifying old lynx.

Kal'tsit coughed, and her slightly resentful gaze forced Ernst to shift his gaze and attention from the outside world back to her:

"Please don't be distracted, Ernst, I'm asking you a very serious question!"

"Please answer me honestly, have you really been watching the game honestly during this period of time and not doing anything else?"

Ernst touched his chest with his left hand and nodded seriously:

"I haven't done anything so far, please rest assured, Dr. Kal'tsit."

Kelsey stared at Ernst in silence, her eyes seemed to say, "Since you know I'm a doctor, do you think I don't know where the heart is?"

Ernst couldn't stand her gaze, smacked his lips, changed his hand, and said again:

"I feel like I didn't do anything, really."

Kelsey nodded seriously, then sneered:

"I didn't do anything, but the Lich King Court came looking for you?"

Ernst was not to be outdone and answered with great confidence:

"Mr. Fremont said that I smell bad. Needless to say, I am helpless. Kal'tsit, you didn't tell me before you left that the Sarkaz can identify identities by their aura!"

"I......."

Kal'tsit's words got stuck in her throat.

She originally wanted to say that when I introduced the Sarkaz race to you, I should have covered the basic knowledge points.

But when I think about it carefully, she never said this.

The ability to identify the identity of the same race through their aura is actually not common. After all, most Sarkaz are not very friendly to other races and will not leave an easily identifiable "aura". Secondly, being able to accurately distinguish this information also requires a certain level of strength.

Let's put it this way, the Blood King's Court among the Ten Kings of the Sarkaz has passed down an ancient way of authenticating friends, which is to declare sovereignty to other Sarkaz by "stamping" when gaining foreign friends. You know, the blood demons of the Blood King's Court are theoretically a race that is particularly sensitive to auras, but even so, stamping is also one of their traditional skills.

Even Klothir and Warfarin of Rhodes Island, who were used to distinguishing friend from foe by their work badges rather than their auras, still had and kept their seals—although they were used as props for signing and stamping.

Obviously, if the Sarkaz's nose is really that sensitive, then wouldn't this operation be unnecessary?

Kelsey didn't mention this at first because she felt that Ernst would not benefit from knowing "too much" given his current position. Especially regarding the Sarkaz, Kelsey had always been careful when speaking. She kept secrets about the news about the Big Sarkaz and how he was the Lord of the Royal Court, fearing that Ernst would have some inappropriate thoughts about them after knowing about them.

Now it seems that she was indeed worrying too much.

Whether she said it or not, Ernst had an idea.

It feels like, looking back on it, this matter has become my problem?

Feeling a little stuffy in her chest again, Kal'tsit took two deep breaths to make sure she wouldn't faint right away.

After calming down, she gave a serious suggestion:

"The Lich King's Court is one of the most down-to-earth courts among the Sarkaz. They are not too prejudiced against ordinary people, and are relatively less dangerous. But this is only relatively speaking!"
