The immortal black snake just wants to live simply

His hands hung down weakly, leaning on the wooden board at the back of the bed, and gradually became silent.

Tears blurred Maria's vision.But her sister Margaret just clenched her fists and said nothing.

But I don’t know if it was Maria’s illusion. She seemed to vaguely see a human-shaped silhouette standing next to him, motionless.

……

"Dong dong dong."

In the manor, there was a knock on the door that was familiar to Zofia.

"Maena? Why have you been so free recently..."

Zofia muttered, but quickly opened the courtyard door.

Ma Enna has been coming back very frequently in recent times, and she is indeed giving guidance to Margaret.

Although Zofia roughly guessed what made the stubborn Maena change her mind, her attitude towards Maena also softened.

After all, for Zofia, who valued the surname "Linguang", she had no small objections to Maena, who obviously had great strength but was unwilling to serve as the "Langqi" of the Linguang family.

Of course she knew that Ma Enna was under a lot of pressure... but Ma Enna never said anything.

He is cold and mean towards his family and groveling towards his boss.

Zofia doesn't like Ma Enna... Such him will undoubtedly dishonor the glory of the Linguang family.

But the recent changes in Maena have softened Zofia's attitude.

Since the last sparring session, Ma Enna has given Margaret strict instructions and rushed home after work every day (unable to be harassed by her annoying boss), all of which have been seen by Zofia.

'...Huh~ I didn't expect that the appearance of that guy would actually make such a stubborn guy like Ma Enna change. '

"I'm coming."

Zofia opened the door, and as expected she saw the familiar face of "bitterness, great hatred, deep hatred".

"Really, who do you show your bad face every time?"

Zofia complained and turned to leave.

But she didn't know if it was her imagination, but she always felt that Ma Enna's face was uglier than usual.

And the opponent's hand was always on the sword.

'It seems that Ma Enna is in a bad mood today...'

But what Zofia didn't know was that her complexion would soon be as bad as Maena's.

Because a voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar to Zofia came from behind Maena.

Arthur poked his head out from behind Maena and greeted Zofia with a smile.

"Yo yo~ Isn't this my defeated general? Why, don't you want to say hello when you see an acquaintance?"

"!"

Zofia turned around and pulled out the whip blade from her waist with her left hand.

She is left-handed.

She looked at the smiling blond Phedian man hiding behind Maena with a complicated expression.

The other party's smile was so familiar, but it made Zofia feel so strange.

"…You are not welcome here, Duke of Cosiche."

"Don't be so cold to your old friend~ And I'm not that pretentious Duke, I'm just a knight who wants to bring you laughter... What's more, I came here after receiving an invitation from the master~"

"...Maena."

Zofia looked at Maena, whose expression was extremely different, with an unbelievable look, but did not utter a word to refute.

"...This is a family matter of the Linguang family, Zofia. As an outsider, you have no right to interfere."

Maena said with a mean look.

He didn't want Zofia to get involved in this matter.

After all... what's the use of adding Zofia?

"Hey, hey~ Maena, how can you talk to Zofia like this? As far as I know, Zofia has done a lot to take care of your niece~"

Arthur began to feel sorry for Zofia.

"Otherwise, with the wealth in Zofia's hands... you won't be able to keep the surname [Linguang]~"

Chapter 168 Black Snake-chan wants flowers and cheers

'...Thank you for being willing to let them see me for the last time. '

'So, are you willing to [be] me? '

'Don't you know very well that you have deeply eroded me? '

'...'

'A person like you is not aloof, but you still have goodwill towards this earth, and a sentimental attitude towards our lives that are fragile compared to you... This is the blessing of this earth'

'Are you judging me?Do you think you can pretend to understand me with the little memory you linked, which is insignificant compared to my vast experience?Cyril Linguang, I admit that it is remarkable that your declining spirit carried by your body on the verge of collapse can persist until now...but that's all. '

'...'

'Don't think you can understand me... The only person who can truly understand yourself is yourself. '

'You are right... but you are at least more kind and kind than most people in this land, and that is enough. '

'This tone is really unpleasant, but I have always been very tolerant towards the dead.Your broken will can't last long, and I don't like to eat leftovers... Therefore, I hate speaking my true feelings every time I deeply seize others. I must change this condition! '

'But if you don't talk, where will your loneliness be relieved? '

'Oh my God!I came here just to pick up the leaks, not to listen to a little guy nagging, don’t you understand the simple truth that others are hell... Your soul will disappear on this earth forever, just like many natural things Like dead insects.Guys like you don't deserve to be devoured by me. '

'…Thank you for your kindness. '

The pale shadow looked at the dissipating wisp of white smoke in his hand.

Cyril Linguang died.

He resisted the erosion of the black snake, rejected the black snake's bewitchment, embraced his own beliefs, and ushered in his own death - death from illness.

The former war knight, the most outstanding Silver Spear Pegasus, Pygasus, completely disappeared from this land.

'...So, you little guys are really fun. '

'It's much more interesting than sea heirs, demons, spirits... and things in the sky. '

……

Zofia has always had a secret...a secret that she kept deep inside her heart.

This secret is known only to Maria, who is almost a sister to her.

Although in reality, Maria should be called her aunt.

But in that case, wouldn’t it make Zofia look too old?

She is still very young and has not even been married!

……

Time goes back to the time when Zofia just participated in the knight competition.

Even as a branch of the Linguang family, Zofia's strength should not be underestimated.

Although she is left-handed, her hard training day after day and her outstanding fighting talent make this Kuranta girl very confident in her own strength.

Eventually, she participated in the knightly competition as an escort to the Linguang family.

She does not reject the knight's competition itself, or at least she can accept the existence of the knight's competition.

And because of the reputation of the Linguang family and Zofia's considerable strength, she has been favored by many companies.

They skillfully threw an olive branch to Zofia, because even though the aloof old antiques of the Linguang family were unwilling to participate, the identity of the Linguang family's escorts could also attract audiences who had an inexplicable yearning for the Linguang family.

After all, as a family of war heroes, no matter how displeasing and fearful they may be in the eyes of the upper class, those past achievements still demonstrate the glory of the Linguang family to the audience.

The connections of Cyril Linguang, who is still alive, and the people's admiration for him are not something that the Business Federation can easily control.

……

Zofia accepted an olive branch from the Chamber of Commerce.

It would be better to say that she had already realized this from the day she participated in the knight competition.

But she did not bow to sponsors and companies.

For Zofia, she can accept participating in competitions to get bonuses, or she can lend her name to sponsors for advertising.

But she insisted on conducting the duel in an aboveboard manner.

No matter how coerced and induced by sponsors and companies, she never changed her decision.

And her own strength made up for the equipment gap to a certain extent, and she reached the top sixteen.

But soon she meets her biggest enemy in the game.

Participating as an independent knight, he is famous for his contagious smile and enjoys accepting sponsor advertisements... [Laughing Knight].

Arthur Pendragon.

This is Arthur's first appearance at the Knights Arena.

This is also Zofia’s first time participating in a knightly competition.

……

"...This beautiful lady, are you sure you want to wear such equipment to fight me?"

The blond Ferdia man had a hearty smile, but there was confusion in his eyes.

This is the first time Black Snake has participated in the Knight Championship as a competitive knight.

'It feels quite different from traditional knights. '

Black Snake also served as a traditional knight for a while.

During the period when knightly competition was gradually becoming more popular and the old knights were declining, there was once a black-haired Kuranta knight wandering on the grasslands of Casimir.

The blood of the gods flows through his strong body, giving him the speed to charge; the skilled combat skills are hidden in his indescribable soul, allowing him to cope with difficulties with ease; and the powerful Origin Stone skills allow him to To be able to leave in style and do good deeds without leaving a name.

Just like the knights described in the knightly novels that Black Snake smuggled into Cyril Linguang's library.

Punish evil and promote good, help the weak, despise money...not seek fame.

But then Grumbo got tired of it.

To be precise... Black Snake was tired of playing.

In the grasslands of Casimir, in the wilderness, and in the villages, Grumb has learned too much... He has completely understood the concept of a 'traditional knight'!

As for the knights who oppressed the common people and ruled the territory...

Squeezing is not as efficient as [Boss], and rule is not as stable as [Duke]. What is the need to experience it?

The Cavaliers Championship under the big spotlight is obviously not suitable for the 'traditional knight' Glenbeau.

It doesn't fit the image of a 'traditional knight' who doesn't seek fame or fortune.

So the person who likes lights and flowers, loves performances, and chases the shadows of existence—"The Laughing Knight" appeared.

The black-haired Kuranta wandering around Casimir is like an illusion, completely lost in everyone's memory.

Glenbeau has always been a traveler, right?

Chapter 169 The top of the knight is proud of the world. Only with me, Black Snake, can we have the world! Stupid talk

Time goes back to when Zofia and Arthur fought against each other in the Knight Championship.

"...I don't need your pretense, Arthur."

Zofia, who was holding a sword in her left hand, said calmly to Arthur, who was taking off his heavy armor.

She's watched the other team's games.
