"Kelsey, are you kidding me?"
"You ordered me to monitor Ernst, but now you want to cancel this order in less than a day. How can you change your mind overnight?"
"Shelagh is our partner, Ernst is our friend. That is why we need to know him better and protect him better. Do we have to wait for him to become like His Highness..."
Askalon's voice suddenly stopped, and the corridor fell into a strange silence. The two people who were close to each other lowered their heads at the same time, as if the question they mentioned touched on some taboo.
After a while, Askalon spoke:
"Sorry, I made a mistake."
"But, Kelsey, I will not stop monitoring Ernst. I will keep a close eye on him regardless of your approval and order. This is SWEEP's right."
Kal'tsit took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
She knew Ascalon's style of doing things. This master assassin was the type who would never give up until she achieved her goal. She would never give up on any mission as long as the mission goal had not been achieved. Even if she came forward to ask her to stop, it might not have any effect.
She couldn't persuade him.
Kal'tsit had no idea what she was feeling at the moment. She felt some regret, some confusion, and perhaps some... No, that shouldn't be the case.
She just nodded:
"I see."
"So, can you tell me what happened this afternoon?"
Ascalon paused, nodded slightly and said:
"He wanted to establish the Sarkaz nation. He negotiated with Duke Caister for this purpose, and...he succeeded."
"Ho-"
There was a whooshing sound, but this time, before Ascalon could reach out and start the first aid that she had inexplicably become proficient in recently, Kal'tsit raised her hand to stop her.
She slowly raised her head, not because of heartache or anything else.
Kal'tsit smiled with relief.
She understood, she suddenly understood, she understood Askalon, understood what Askalon understood about Kal'tsit, understood everything!
There is a man who wants to reorganize the royal court and change the Sarkaz royal court which is mainly composed of blood clans to a committee system which is mainly composed of bureaucracy.
He tried his best to win over the moderate Sarkaz, establish connections with the banshees, children of earth and stone, liches, etc., use their abilities for construction, and bring them under the committee system.
Finally, his goal is to negotiate with the nations of Terra, strive for the opportunity for the Sarkaz to establish an independent nation, strive to achieve the normalization of the Sarkaz and Kazdel, and make the Sarkaz, who are now like refugees, truly become a part of the current international order of Terra, and share a future of peace and development.
So, who is this person?
She looked at Askalon, with a hint of wisdom in her eyes.
Askalon, you are using Ernst as a meal replacement!
Unfortunately, you are still too young. There are too many differences between Ernst and Theresa. Theresa has done the above things, and Ernst has also done them. Why is Ernst making good progress now, while Theresa was blocked at every step?
It's not just because one of them is Filin and the other is Sarkaz! These two people are fundamentally different!
Of course, Kal'tsit doesn't expect to convince Ascalon now. Her attitude is very firm, and Kal'tsit doesn't want to waste her words. Let time give the answer.
At least Kelsey admits:
No one, ????
Than her,????
Better understand, ????
Ernst! ????
Chapter 426: Don’t talk about the situation with your left-hand brother!
Casimir, Grand Knight of Kavaleriaki.
The trouble came to an end, and after a few days of rest, Jeston finally had his next game.
The legendary player [Left-Handed Knight] who advanced from the Knight Competition Special will compete against Jeston.
This match was not given much attention before the match. The reason was simple: everyone felt that this was not a fair fight at all.
On one side was the Left-Handed Knight, who was always in the top 16 and could be called the goalkeeper of the Special Championships. On the other side was the emerging super warrior, Kjerag Superman, who punched out a giant bird of ice and iron, and whose deeds were still fresh in people's memory when the Great Knight and the hospital jointly presented him with a pennant. No one thought this battle would take long, including the Left-Handed Knight himself.
The Left-Handed Knight is a smart man. His own strength is not weak among the ranks of competitive knights, and can even be regarded as a first-class echelon. Although he is not as good as the T0 or T0.5 of the Black Knight and the Blood Knight, he can at least be regarded as a level below the big cup.
But despite his strength, he ended up in the top 16 every year, so much so that his peers took it as a joke:
"No one will remember a knight who is in the top 16 unless he is in the top 16 every year."
This situation is obviously unreasonable, but there is rationality everywhere in this unreasonableness.
He actually had a desire to compete for the championship at the beginning. After all, he came to play against the Cavaliers. Who doesn't come for the championship at the beginning?
There are so many benefits to being a champion. You can bring honor to your family. Many declining knight families have regained their glory by earning a lot of marks in knight competitions. And money is inexhaustible. At least in the next four years, you will be the publicity center of the Business Federation. In four years, in today's Great Knight Territory, as long as you work a little harder, it will be enough for a champion and his descendants to live a life of luxury for at least three generations!
Not to mention, there are many more invisible benefits, such as greater fame, more fans, higher net worth, which will give you great advantages in choosing a spouse, participating in politics, becoming a public figure, writing memoirs and selling them, etc.
There is no competitive knight who would not be tempted by these things.
At least that's what the Left-Handed Knight thought at first.
With such a dream in mind, Left-Handed Knight was unstoppable in his debut year. This is normal. Although a person's goal is not high-end, it is clear enough, coupled with his already good strength and unremitting spirit, it is natural for him to achieve results.
But sometimes, in addition to the 99% of hard work, a person's success really requires the 1% of luck.
The year that the Left-Handed Knight Titus Topol made his debut, another competitive knight also officially stepped onto the stage of history. Her name was Mace, and she was from Leitania. She was despised as a defective product that could not cast spells.
There was a little friction between the two. Specifically, Titus Baiyang felt that Jian was very arrogant. He was engaged in the business of competitive knights, but he was still self-righteous. He neither accepted money nor participated in activities. This hurt his narrow-minded heart. And Jian, Jian said:
"Who are you?"
In order to prevent the uncooperative knight Jian from getting too high a ranking, the Business Federation arranged for the two to face off in the round of 16, and the result was...
From then on, the Left-Handed Knight began his never-ending journey to the round of 16.
In the 19th Special Championship, in the round of , he lost to the Black Knights, who won the championship.
In the 20th Special Championship, in the round of , he lost to the Black Knights, who won the championship.
In the 21th Special Championship, in the round of , he lost to the Black Knights, who won the championship.
Except for the change in the number of games, nothing seemed to have changed. The champion remained the Black Knight, and the Black Knight remained the troublemaker who refused to submit to the Business Federation. The only change was Titus Topol.
Failing to advance to the semi-finals meant he lost the chance to obtain a single-word title, and being defeated by the Black Knight every time also made him lose the trust of the Chamber of Commerce. He was named the Left-Handed Knight, and thus became a nail in the knight competition arena.
If it were someone else, their experience at this time would probably be like this: Don’t look down on the poor youngsters! The Business Federation looks down on people. Let me take a year off, then come back and blow up the special tournament!
The next time, it's probably something like this: This is probably the limit of my life, I have to accept my fate, the Black Knight is my nemesis, so forget it, I'm discouraged and just retire honestly.
But Titus Topol is different.
He figured it out.
If he can't beat the Black Knight, how can he beat others? There's no hope of becoming the champion. The purpose of doing anything is to make money. Why not be straightforward? Doesn't the Business Federation want someone to help keep those disobedient knights out of the special championship? Why can't I be this person?
I also have rich practical experience, although I have not been successful.
In this way, the Left-Handed Knight and the Business Association hit it off and became a real tournament goalkeeper. And because of his good skills and his special record - those who defeated him eventually won the championship - the Business Association finally turned around and made an investment in the Left-Handed Knight.
This investment was obviously worthwhile. The existence of the Left-Handed Knight had obviously significantly improved the value of the Casimir Knight Competition. Those who were strong and beat him were considered seeded players and favorites to win the championship, such as Margaret Linguang in the previous competition, and Blood Knight Dikaiopolis and Candle Knight Viviana Drost in this competition. And those who couldn't even beat him had no need to come up at all.
Left-handed Knight made a lot of money as a goalkeeper. Appropriate amounts of easing the game and fixing matches could bring in extra income, and he was very satisfied.
Until this International Games.
The addition of the International Tournament above the Special Championships did give a lot of Special Championship Knights a huge shock, among which the Left-Handed Knight was the most shocked.
It was rare for him to want to give it another try.
The participants of the International Competition are all excellent warriors carefully selected from various countries of Terra, so it is of great value. Most importantly, it is fair!
The Chamber of Commerce cannot cover up everything in this series of competitions. All the cheating methods that he has seen, used, and experienced will not work in this game.
Although he also knew that this was only the minimum level of fairness, the Business Federation could still influence the results of the game by adjusting the order of the game, etc. But so what?
If you miss this opportunity, you may never get it again.
Therefore, this year's Left-Handed Knight, with an attitude of turning against the Chamber of Commerce, made it to the semi-finals.
Although he lost to the Blood Knight in the semi-finals and failed to advance to the finals, the semi-finalists were already qualified to enter the International Competition, and he had met the requirements!
"I, Titus Poplar, was born into a noble family. My family has a long history of learning and my ancestors have been knights and nobles for generations. My ancestors even followed the gentlemen of the parliament to fight against the king and ended the monarchy!"
"I'm not saying this to prove anything, I'm just telling you, don't underestimate me, Titus Topol! What I lost back then, I must get back with my own hands without leaving anything behind!"
"This time, no matter who it is, they will be defeated by me!"
After defeating the contestant from Dosores, the Left-Handed Knight successfully advanced to the second round. This record has surpassed the Blood Knight Dikaiopolis and tied with the Candle Knight Viviana. His popularity has also increased unprecedentedly.
For a while, there were widespread comments such as "The Left-Handed Knight is second in hard power", "The Black Knight owes the Left-Handed Knight a championship", and "It's not that my brother doesn't want to win, it's just that the previous competitions were not valuable, so I just don't want to win."
The Left-Handed Knight knew that he was walking on a tightrope. Either he won the match and officially became the "hard power champion", or he lost and faced the liquidation of the Business Federation.
There is no way out!
Well, let's see who I beat!
Opening the player's match schedule website, the Left Hand Knight looked at the match schedule.
Left-handed Knight Titus Topol vs. Kjerag representative Jeston Williams.
Titus Topol: "......."
He took out his phone, dialed the spokesperson's number, and the call was connected.
"Sir, no, my Lord."
"Is it too late for me to surrender now?"
"No, no, there is no such thing as cowardice. I just don't want to hit Jeston's ice bird with my face."
"Yes, I can't win, and the only way to make a living is to be a goalkeeper and bully weak players in the round of 16. Please agree, Mr. Spokesperson! I will be a goalkeeper for the rest of my life! I can do anything!"
Chapter 427: Battle of Leitania, Brilliance of Originium Skills
"What do you mean, what do you mean I won?"
In the room, Jeston was listening to the communication from the organizing committee of the International Games coming from the terminal, feeling somewhat confused.
The voice on the other end was somewhat confused and embarrassed, and could only briefly explain:
"We don't know the specific situation, but the fact is that the Left-Handed Knight had to withdraw due to physical reasons. Your opponent withdrew, so you naturally advanced."
Jeston was stunned and couldn't help but wonder:
"Can I withdraw from this competition?"
"It is indeed stipulated in the rules that you can withdraw from the competition..."
The voice on the other end of the phone was somewhat speechless. After all, this situation was indeed rare and uncommon.
Yes, the rules do stipulate that players participating in the International Competition have the right to apply for withdrawal. If you don't want to fight, who else can put a knife to your neck and force you to go on the field?
Hey, you know what, it really exists.
At least most of the time, most of the contestants do not have the situation of "not wanting to fight anymore". They either represent a country, a force or an organization. Everyone still wants to save face, especially for the country. It doesn't matter if you can't win. As long as you try your best, everyone can understand. After all, there is a certain gap in strength between the two sides. On the field, victory and defeat are common. As long as the defeat is not ugly, everyone can accept it.
Even if you lose ugly, you are not the only one who will be embarrassed. The country and organization that sent you out will also be embarrassed. At least you won't be criticized too much.
But if you retreat without fighting and surrender directly, that would be a different story.
You won’t be able to sit at the table to eat after you get home, people will point fingers at you, and people will call you a coward!
Therefore, no matter how great the pressure is, representatives of countries and organizations will not surrender, and there is naturally no question of withdrawing from the competition.
The reason for this rule is very simple, because the competition rules of the International Competition are basically the rules of the Special Championships with some changes. The changes are mainly about the scope of participation and the treatment of players. There are no changes on whether withdrawal is allowed, and no one thinks that any changes are needed.
This gives Brother Zuoshou an opportunity!
If others don't vote, why can't I vote? Even though I'm from Casimir, if you round it up, who doesn't have some Gallic blood in their ancestors?
What, you ask about the Gaul?
40-day quick pass to Paris, honest and trustworthy power leveling, no cheating!
Brother Zuoshou's surrender was also a well-thought-out decision. We can't say that Brother Zuoshou has a small vision, his vision is too big.
