People in Terra, governing a weird little country

Kal'tsit, who now feels relieved, would never have thought that this is only the first level.

Outside the hallway, the actual visitor looked at the head of the medical department curiously, and then looked at Amiya, who had led them here, with a puzzled look on her face:

"Ms. Amiya, the doctor you mentioned, Kelsey, is she usually like this?"

Amiya's expression was somewhat awkward and she gnashed her teeth. She could only hurriedly explain with a sense of regret:

"Don't get me wrong, Miss Shining, Miss Lin Guang, Doctor Kal'tsit...she's not usually like this!"

"Really, you believe me!"

Chapter 460: Torturing the Apostles Today

Rhode Island is a magical place. People here, regardless of race and background, healthy or infected, can tolerate and understand each other and live in harmony and friendship.

At least, that's what Amiya told the Apostles.

The name [Apostle] is actually very meaningful. If someone does not have a mission, how can he be called an apostle?

But no one knows what mission they are carrying out. Not only no one outsiders know, but no one within their small group of three knows either.

Shining didn't know Margaret's dream. She was born into a family of pardoners in Kazdel, and she couldn't imagine that there was a country in this land that would abandon their champion.

Margaret also didn't know Shining's mission. Coming from the Linguang family of Casimir, she had no idea about Kazdel, the Sarkaz, or the family of pardoners where Shining lived.

She might not even have seen the Sarkaz before being exiled by Casimir and setting foot in the wilderness.

And Nightingale Lizzie, she knew nothing.

As an artificial life, the birth of her self-awareness was just as the leader of the Absolvers, the White-Horned Demon King Quesatusta, said, a wonderful accident. To exaggerate a little, she didn't even have a basic understanding of this land. If it weren't for Shining's dedicated teaching, she would be just a pitiful and pathetic puppet.

But it was these three people who formed a team called "Apostles", traveled through the wilderness, healed their wounds, and finally arrived on a ship called "Rhode Island".

Before embarking on the ship, they all thought this would be a wonderful journey and that they would find the true meaning of their mission here.

But the result...

"Margaret, are you going to meet me like this?"

Sitting in the lounge of Rhodes Island, Mainna held a newspaper in his hand without even raising his head. His cold tone seemed to imply some kind of anger and resentment.

But what really made Margaret sweat profusely was not what Maina said, but the presence of Maina and Maria, who was hugging her and crying.

It suddenly occurred to me that I saw my uncle.

"Uncle, Maria, why are you guys here......"

"Why are we here?"

Ma Enna snorted coldly, ruthlessly interrupting Margaret's voice, and asked,

"Why, do you feel uncomfortable seeing your family in this place?"

I was so angry that I seemed to hear my uncle talking.

Margaret was a little dazed, but Mainna did not stop her sarcasm.

"Look at how embarrassed you are. Are you going to slam the door and leave again? Just like the last time you ignored your family's objections and went to participate in that knight competition?"

Well, after confirming the taste and the tone of voice, it's definitely my uncle.

Margaret turned her head away slightly, pursed her lips, and clenched her fists unconsciously.

She did not regret having participated in the special tournament, nor did she regret having won the championship. She did not feel that she had done anything wrong. As a "knight", she had to do something that others would not do or dared not do - for example, to give the Chamber of Commerce a slap in the face.

But she couldn't refute what Maenna said, because the result of her willful behavior was already there. What if she won the competition? The championship was taken away from you! What if you are Lin Guang? You forced your grandfather to lose his mind and help with the aftermath! You are fearless and fearless, and you really think that no one can cure you? It's a beautiful idea. I suggest that you continue to dream in the wilderness after exile!

But no matter what, being mocked so harshly by one's own relatives is always a wronged thing. The greetings and kindness that Margaret had just felt in her heart were now suppressed by Ma Enna's words.

Margaret sniffed, pursed her lips, and said softly:

"If you don't want to see me, I can..."

Before she finished speaking, Maria, who was holding her, let go of her hand, turned around, opened her arms to protect Margaret behind her, and said loudly:

"Uncle! Why are you scolding my sister? You obviously also participated in the knight competition!"

Mainna's grim face behind the newspaper suddenly froze.

Margaret's aggrieved expression suddenly changed!

"Uncle Maena, you too..."

"I don't!"

Maenna finally put down the newspaper in her hand and glared at Maria, the little girl who backstabbed her uncle just because she had a sister. Her lips trembled slightly as she explained with forced calmness:

"What I participated in... was not a knight's competition! That was a competitive event under the International Games. How can a sport organized by a country be considered a knight's competition?"

"But you won the championship! The Knights Association even gave you a title! Sister, let me tell you, uncle is now truly the [Lightless Knight]!"

"Me!" Mainna's old face turned red, and he swore in a low voice for the first time in his life, followed by a bunch of difficult to understand words: "Casimir has no right to award me a medal", "If those guys hadn't given me too much", "It's not a project that Ernst came up with"...

Margaret couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Frankly speaking, it was the first time she saw Uncle Manna show such an awkward expression, so she immediately took advantage of the situation and said:

"Then should I still congratulate Uncle Mahenna on his victory?"

"Margaret, tsk!"

Mauna smacked her lips somewhat unwillingly.

He had been educating and scolding Margaret for almost four years since she left, but now all of it was wasted by Maria's backstab.

You little girl, you're still laughing! I should have seen that you have a rebellious mind. Are you going to learn from your sister and become a knight in the future? !

In the end, she didn't say anything to reprimand Maria. She sighed deeply and looked at Margaret:

"Margaret, do you still think that knight competition is a good thing?"

Margaret put away the smile on her face and said seriously:

"Uncle Manna, I think there is no good or bad in knightly competitions."

"During the years of exile by Casimir, I traveled to many places. The people of Leitania love music. Even in the homes of villagers in remote villages, parents would make a violin for their children using wood and animal whiskers. The story they told most often was about a violinist from the village who played a moving melody at the music competition in Trilinterme and was accepted by the king."

"This kind of thing can't happen." Maenna said ruthlessly, "The reality is that under the rule of the Twin Queens, Leitania has a strict hierarchy. Even in a city, there are noble soldiers and sentries guarding the lower and upper city areas, and circulation is prohibited."

"That story takes place a hundred years ago, when Leithania was ruled by the Witch King."

Margaret retorted.

Mauna shut her mouth.

He had no way to refute it, because the stories of the Witch King era had long been difficult to verify, and he himself, in the early days... no, during all periods of his reign, was indeed known as a man who "promoted people based on their merits."

[The Witch King] is certainly not a "human rights" advocate like Ernst. He does not care about "employment fairness", but he discriminates equally against everyone except himself. To some extent, this is also a kind of equality.

Margaret continued:

"So, I think there is no good or bad in knightly competitions."

"Its existence is like the music competition in Leithania during the Witch King era, which gave many Casimir people something to think about. Compared to music, there is a threshold for becoming a knight, but there is no threshold for watching knight competitions."

“This is the most direct, convenient, and popular way for many Casimirs to connect with our proud chivalric traditions.”

"Even if what it actually promotes has nothing to do with knights?" Mainna said coldly.

This time, Margaret gave her response with her head held high:

"Yes! Moreover, correcting it and making it truly promote our knights' bravery, fighting spirit, unity, and more virtues and traditions is exactly what I want to do!"

Mauna closed her eyes:

"Is this the path you chose?"

Margaret nodded firmly: "This is the path I have chosen."

"Well."

Maenna took a deep breath, opened her eyes, and chuckled.

"Then you don't have to go back to Casimir."

Margaret's passionate expression suddenly froze, and she opened her mouth in surprise:

"Wha...what?"

"I said, you don't have to go back to Casimir."

Mahnana Road,

"You don't have to go back to Lin Guang's house."

Margaret panicked and shook her head quickly:

"No, uncle, this, that...we can still discuss it, there's no need."

"Huh, what's unnecessary?"

Maena shook the newspaper in her hand and put it in front of her again.

"The main branch of the Linguang family has withdrawn from Casimir. The name of Linguang in Casimir is now inherited by your aunt Zofia. The reason why Maria and I are here is because we are on our way to leave Casimir."

Margaret was incredulous: "Where are you going?"

Maenna said calmly, "Shelagh."

Margaret was puzzled: "What is that place?"

Maria elbowed Margaret's waist:

"Sister, didn't you watch TV outside? You don't even know about Kjerag? You are so ignorant!"

Margaret was bewildered.

What do you mean, is Kjerag famous?

Margaret indeed did not watch TV. To be more precise, "The Apostle" had been walking in the wilderness for a long time, doing the work of Doctors Without Borders. Sleeping in the open air was already basic operation. How could she have the conditions to watch TV?

Even if they occasionally went to the village, most of the time they would use their currency to buy supplies, so they would naturally not waste money on buying things like newspapers.

The reason why they knew about Rhodes Island was because a village they passed by some time ago was visited by Rhodes Island and had an office there. They got supplies and ate some Amway at the office, and then they knew that there was such an organization with similar ideas to them in this land, so they came here.

But Maria and Maina obviously had no intention of explaining to Margaret from the beginning where Kjerag was and why he was famous.

Maenna's voice came from behind the newspaper, saying lightly:

"I will not pursue the matter of you wearing a headset and answering my questions with your two companions."

"Margaret, I just hope you remember what you just said. Since you claim that you have found your path, Maria and I will be watching you in Kjerag. Until you show me your achievements, there will still be no place for you in the Linguang family, and I will still question and criticize your empty talk."

"Just prove that your so-called "not fearing hardship and darkness" is not just an old joke."

Margaret put down her hand that was covering her earphone in embarrassment, took off her earphone at the same time, and nodded solemnly to Mainna.

"I will, Uncle Maenna!"

.........

"Is this Margaret Linguang?"

In the control center of Rhodes Island, Ernst sat next to Kal'tsit, watching the "discussion" of Lin Guang's family on the surveillance screen with some surprise.

Well, Ernst wasn't too surprised by Margaret's character. In other games, a tough female knight would be the type that would be "cooed" out quickly. Unfortunately, this is Arknights.

What really surprised Ernst was Margaret's appearance.

So this is what you look like, Margaret.

She has a somewhat boyish voice, and more handsome facial features than pretty face. Her skin is tanned, showing some traces of weathering and sunburn from walking in the wilderness.

Margaret, a woman among men! No... a man among women!

According to Maena, she would not come to Kjerag, at least not now.

The ones who came to Shelag were Mauna and Maria, and the Linguang family was inherited by Zofia, although she claimed that she was only in charge.

There was no Margaret in Mainna's plan. It was not that he had forgotten the exiled Lin Guang. On the contrary, he remembered her very clearly.

In his negotiations with Ernst, he even mentioned Margaret specifically.

"I won't allow her to come back until she finds her own direction."
