To everyone's astonishment, the enormous feathered serpent flicked its tongue and spoke in human language.
"Manager, I saw it all clearly from heaven. It's nothing out of the ordinary – murder and robbery."
"Wait, sir, we mean you no harm."
The hunter, who seemed to be the leader, quickly spoke up. Although he couldn't figure out Bai Xun's background, the sight of that huge winged Phidias made his hair stand on end and cold sweat pour down his back.
They're not to be trifled with!
So he decisively admitted defeat.
"If you just let us go, we'll give you all the spoils we've gained..."
Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, the feathered serpent's thick tail whipped out with a powerful gust of wind, turning him into a cloud of blood mist.
"What are you talking about? Even if I kill you all, aren't your things still mine?"
Bai Xun waved his hand impatiently.
"Quack! It's a pro! Everyone, back off!"
The other bounty hunters turned ashen-faced at the sight and scattered in panic.
But Bai Xun simply raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The power of the Herrscher of Flame manifested at that moment, and scorching blood flames rose up fiercely, burning the flesh and blood of ants as fuel, completely incinerating them.
"Not a single monster was missed; this skill is really good at clearing out mobs."
As Bai Xun effortlessly dispatched all the enemies, Horhaiya had already regained her usual demeanor amidst the surging wind and thunder, and together with Bai Xun, turned to look at the gray-white Liberi girl who had fallen to the ground behind them.
"You, who are you?"
Justina still gripped her crossbow tightly, her face full of surprise and uncertainty.
The scene before her was somewhat beyond the comprehension of this simple girl who had grown up in the countryside.
"Just a hobbyist firm manager. You can call me Bai Xun, and this is my assistant, Holheimia."
Bai Xun looked at Justine and felt that the petite, greyish-white Liberian girl looked familiar, but he couldn't quite place her.
Justina, however, still couldn't accept Bai Xun's explanation and huddled on the ground, whispering...
"A firm? The manager? What firm manager would be so skilled at killing people?"
He descended from the sky riding a ferocious beast, killing ruthlessly and with terrifying methods; he was clearly an extremely terrifying being.
Shivering~
"That's nothing. I also know there's a pharmaceutical company in Terra whose KPI requires killing 500 people every day."
"Ok?"
Bai Xun's words stunned not only Justina, but also Horhaia.
She originally thought that Rhine Life, a pharmaceutical company that secretly collaborated with the CCP to conduct human experiments and killed dozens of death row inmates every month, was already a leader in the industry, but she never expected that there were even more experts out there!
It seems I am still far too ignorant.
Bai Xun, unaware of what Horhaiya was thinking, reached out to Justina, who had fallen to the ground, and continued to explain.
"If you don't understand, you can think of me as a Sun Knight passing by. There's nothing wrong with a Sun Knight being helpful, right?"
"Are you a knight?"
Upon finding the keywords, Justina's wariness vanished almost instantly, replaced by a look of utmost reverence as she gazed up at Bai Xun.
"That's right, I am the Sun Knight, and this is my mount."
As expected of a knight, descending from the sky on a handsome steed, highly skilled and always ready to help others—he is clearly a true knight!
Justina's attitude towards Bai Xun instantly changed 180 degrees. Clutching the wound on her waist, she got up from the ground and bowed respectfully to Bai Xun.
"Greetings, Sir Knight. I am Justina. I was on my way to the Great Knight Territory to participate in the Knights' Tournament, but unexpectedly..."
Justina?
Bai Xun frowned slightly upon hearing the name, completely ignoring what Justine said next.
Instead, he stroked his chin and examined the petite, greyish-white Liberi girl in front of him, finally matching her with an operator whose presence was very faint in his mind.
"What? It's Justina. I thought she was our second strongest six-star marksman, one of the three gates of the Nine Gates, with a second attack speed of +7 and a third skill with unlimited range but only able to hit a straight line. She's like the class monitor of the middle cup of elementary school."
Justina, who had not yet received the name "Far Fang," blinked in confusion, indicating that she had no idea what Bai Xun was babbling about.
At this moment, Bai Xun was completely at peace.
Operators like Far Fang, who lack strength, story, and artwork, are definitely not easy to think of right away.
The rabbit head is used to measure intensity.
The big head is used to remember the plot.
The small head is used to record the character portrait.
Yuan Ya doesn't fit any of these criteria. If she weren't still the second strongest six-star archer in our Ark, Bai Xun would probably have completely forgotten about her long ago.
I played the game "Ming Dynasty" for four hours and successfully wrote a short essay to get a refund. This game is just too amazing!
Chapter 120 Old Man Huang, Do I Look Human to You? Fat Snake: Master 4k
Farfang, once the strongest six-star marksman in the entire Arknights game, has fallen to the second strongest after Remy's debut.
Moreover, it can be expected that when the third six-star marksman is released, our poor Yaya will drop to third place.
After all, the requirement that the third skill can only hit a straight line is too demanding, making it difficult to find a place to use it.
Even if there really is a perfect straight-line map, why not just put my invincible little fire dragon on it?
In short, it's the worst of the worst, and there's no hope of even renaming the module.
Putting aside the strength aspect, Bai Xun doesn't have many memories of Yuan Ya in the plot. She only knows that she is an infected knight, but that's enough. At least it allows Bai Xun to know her current location.
"Holy crap, I just teleported straight to Kazimierz?"
Bai Xun slapped his hand in surprise, then flipped out the Terra map to take a look.
I actually skipped Kazdel and Ursus's territory and crossed half of Terra to get to Kazimierz. No wonder I felt so drained of energy—if the portal had been opened any further off course, I could have gone straight to Sami Rogue to fight the demons.
"Sir Knight?"
The little Liberian girl called out to Bai Xun hesitantly, finally bringing Bai Xun back to his senses after his thoughts had wandered.
"Justina, is it? You're heading to the Great Knight's Territory?"
"Yes, I want to become a knight with a noble and kind soul like yours, but..."
Justina nodded firmly, but the next second her expression visibly fell into dejection as she looked down at the wound on her waist, which she was forcibly stopping the bleeding with torn strips of clothing.
"But I'm afraid I've already contracted Oripathy."
An infected person cannot become a knight.
Justina didn't finish her sentence, but she knew that her dreams and life might have been completely destroyed the moment she contracted Oripathy.
Looking at the lost and dejected Liboli girl before him, Bai Xun couldn't help but shake his head.
"Who says you can't become a knight if you're infected with Oripathy?"
Your purity is far too low!
"But..."
Justina looked up, and murmured absentmindedly.
"According to the regulations issued by the Knights Association, infected individuals are not allowed to participate in knight competitions. Even Lord Shining Knight was expelled from the country because of his infected status."
"What does being a knight have to do with knightly competitions?"
In the eyes of the Liberian girl, a glimmer of light appeared as if she had realized something. Bai Xun, as if he had heard a joke, spread his hands and laughed.
"So according to your logic, and according to Kazimierz's logic, Radiant Knight Nearl is also an infected, then she can't be considered a knight?"
"No, of course not."
Justina shook her head vigorously, while Bai Xun, unusually serious, spoke up.
"The name of a knight should be forged by virtue, responsibility, and courage, not by the fame gained by pandering to the world like a jester."
"Speaking of which, little one, do I look like a knight?"
As she spoke, Bai Xun straightened her back and drew the Jizo Soul. A blazing fire ignited on the black straight sword, and the falling sparks illuminated the white-haired girl's eyes.
The dashing knight who descended from the sky with a flaming straight sword to save her from danger—at this moment, Bai Xun was like a perfect knight straight out of a knightly novel in Justin's eyes.
His eyes were full of longing and anticipation, and he nodded earnestly.
"You are like... no, you are the Knight!"
"I can't be called a knight yet; I'm just a little knight who knows a bit about the five arts."
Humility is also a virtue of chivalry!
Bai Xun's humility only increased Justina's respect for his status as a knight.
Bai Xun continued speaking.
"What if I said I was also infected?"
Are you infected?
Bai Xun didn't care about the straight man's surprise; he just wanted to comfort the little Li Boli in this way.
Although, according to the subsequent plot, Justina still adhered to her beliefs and became a very outstanding Infected Knight, fighting against the behemoth, the Commercial Federation, in Kazimierz for the rights of the Infected.
But according to the original plot, that should have happened three years later, and the current Justina has not yet become the resilient knight known as "Farfang".
Right now, she's just a little girl whose dreams have been shattered after being infected with Oripathy.
"..."
Justina did not disappoint Bai Xun's expectations, or rather, she was an exceptionally strong girl to begin with.
Even after experiencing such a cruel ordeal, she did not choose to give up hope. Instead, she regained her confidence after being comforted by Bai Xun's example, and a determined look returned to her eyes.
"Yes, Lord Shining Knight also said that a knight is a noble being who illuminates the entire land. As long as I practice the way of the knight, I can become a knight without anyone's authorization!"
"Okay, very spirited!"
Seeing the gray-white bird perk up again, Bai Xun nodded in satisfaction, then turned and called out to Holhaya.
"Fat Snake, the plan has changed. We're preparing to win the championship!"
"Ok?"
Even though she had spent some time with Bai Xun, Holhaya was still somewhat bewildered by Bai Xun's sudden remarks.
He sighed with considerable helplessness.
"Manager, although I know your human quality is decreasing every day, could you please speak like a human being?"
"You fat snake spirit, how dare you question my human content?"
Bai Xun was instantly displeased after Horhaya said that.
Although his physical body is now a high-level blood demon fused with demons and dragons, and his soul has been completely fused with the demonic energy of fire, making it impossible to find any trace of humanity in either his body or soul, he still feels that he is more human than Horhyah, the feathered serpent with the Originium enhancement mod.
Even if he's not human, he's still more human-like!
"You audacious alien! When I get to the Warhammer world, I'm going to meet the God-Emperor and have him decide whether you look more human or I do!"
Look, the store manager is quite self-aware.
They're talking about who's more human, not who is human.
Holhaya opened her mouth, but ultimately did not utter another word of complaint.
He simply smiled, sighed silently, and thought it was absolutely wonderful.
Bai Xun was just saying it casually and didn't dwell on the matter any further.
After all, he was somewhat unsure about this matter. If he were to actually travel to the Warhammer world and meet the old man, he was afraid that before he could even ask, "Do I look human?" the guards would be shouting "Alien invasion!" and shooting him and the Fat Serpent all at once.
"Ahem, what I mean is, let's not go to Kazdel for now. We're here in Kazimierz anyway, so let's just stay here and have some fun."
"Kazimir is also 'Ka,' there's no difference."
