The immortal black snake just wants to live simply

"…pleased to accompany you."

"Okay! But I can't bully a novice, so let me give you a hand."

Zofia took out the whip blade she carried with her right hand and put her dominant left hand on her waist.

"Don't feel slighted, unknown Minos... After all, before I retired, I was [under one man] in the knightly competition."

Chapter 175 Zofia: You irresponsible guy!

"...My opponent in the next match, Margaret Linguang?"

"Blood Knight, are you sure? The other party has defeated... that person before."

"..."

"We didn't question your intention. If you hadn't won the championship and accepted us, I'm afraid we would still be like rats crossing the street and unable to live a normal life... However, your condition is not optimistic."

"This is already the best result. I would rather fight against that knight than that one... I don't want to take action against my mentor."

"Uh... But that shining knight seems to be somewhat related to the other one. Is that okay?"

"...It doesn't matter, I will win this."

'Even if I finally meet that person, I will try my best. '

……

A Minoan man named Deceopolis was defeated.

Even though Zofia was not even using her dominant left hand, she easily knocked away the giant ax blade made of Minoan craftsmanship in the Blood Knight's hand.

"...As expected of the [Whipblade Knight], one of the former champion candidates."

"Sigh, but it's not like I lost to that guy...if I met him in the final, my results should be better."

Zofia pretended to be calm in her answer, but it was obvious that her slightly twitching ears proved that she still liked the compliment from Dicaeopolis.

Champion candidate!How nice it sounds!

Zofia felt very helpful.

In fact, after four years of knight competition, Zofia has grown up at an amazing speed.

Except for Arthur, other competitive knights really dare not say that they can definitely beat Zofia.

This is under the premise that Zofia has always insisted on fighting in an 'open and aboveboard' way.

No... It can even be said that Arthur actually has a little difficulty facing Zofia today.

After all, compared to Zofia, Arthur will hardly grow at all.

[Arthur] will not grow.

Only [Black Snake] can.

In the four-year duel between the two, in order to maintain his own personality, Arthur would not take advantage of equipment as long as his opponent, like Zofia, did not rely on the assistance of sponsors and companies.

Unfortunately, there are not many competitive knights who rely on themselves like Zofia.

And even if she relies on herself, there are very few knights as strong as her.

When most competitive knights find that it is much more difficult to fight against Arthur and give up sponsors and corporate sponsorship than to accept it, not many people will choose to win 'above and above board'.

After all, at least the difference in equipment will bring a slight possibility of victory, right?

Arthur didn't care.

After all, besides Zofia, a 'dumb idiot', who else would persist?

You must know that sponsorship from sponsors and companies is itself a part of knight athletics.

If you don’t agree, don’t participate!

……

'As expected, that fool still went to train those infected~'

'Hehe, it's quite fun to tease this funny Kuranta...'

'It seems that the branches of the Linguang family are not inferior to the main family~'

'But this Kuranta's growth rate is really fast. Does he really want to defeat me? '

'What a pity! The moment you quit the knight competition, I will never fight you again! '

'It's very difficult to pretend that Yun Danfengqing defeats you... [Arthur] can't suppress you anymore. '

'If you persist for a few more years, I may have to break [personality] and use off-field assistance. '

'...'

'But quitting is a good thing for this little golden Kuranta. '

'After all, not everyone wants to be like [Arthur] and be able to fully accept knightly competition~'

'I just have to go take commercials these days, so I'll bother that stubborn little Kuranta. Anyway, she's so free without competition... Well, she's probably enjoying it anyway~'

Arthur is different from a competitive knight who has nothing to do after retirement. As an active champion, he is very busy.

……

"These basic things can only allow you to barely gain a foothold in the knight competition. You need to explore your own strengths."

'...Why does this guy Arthur only teach them such basic things? '

Zofia, who was holding a whip blade in her right hand, looked at the infected knights lying around, feeling a little confused in her heart.

Because what these infected knights learned from Arthur were only the most basic things.

Although it is very important to lay a solid foundation, Zofia discovered from what was just called a competition, but was actually just a one-sided killing, that their foundations were very solid, and it could even be said that they were too solid.

But the battle was completely unsystematic, relying entirely on wild instinct.

These infected people are all guys with no previous combat experience.

"Didn't Arthur teach you anything else?"

"No, that person only occasionally supervises and guides our training... Is there any problem, respected Whipblade Knight?"

Dicaeopolis, who was half kneeling on the ground and struggling to stand up, panted heavily and replied.

Now, he is just an infected knight who has just participated in the knight competition. He doesn't even have much combat experience in the knight competition.

How could it be the opponent of [Whipblade Knight]?

'...that guy. '

Zofia was a little dissatisfied with Arthur's perfunctory attitude of only teaching the basics, but she didn't say anything.

After all, Arthur noticed the pity of these infected people earlier than himself and reached out to help earlier.

For these infected knights, Arthur who came to help so early must have an extraordinary status.

"Your foundation is very good, but if you want to get a better ranking in the knight competition, you'd better form your own fighting style and tap into your personal advantages... By the way, how long has Arthur been teaching you? "

"...Four years, Your Excellency."

"..."

Zofia found that she could no longer understand her former 'destined' opponent.

If the other party really wants to help the infected, then why only teach them superficially?

If the other party is indifferent to the infected...then why implement the infected knight system, and even try to teach the infected some knowledge about knight competition and the basics of combat as early as their debut?

……

In the following months, in the camp of the infected, there was often a blond Kuranta woman holding a whip blade, scolding some knights in worn-out armor, and even some 'scavengers' holding wooden sticks as weapons.

Among them, a tall Minos completed his training most seriously.

"Can't hear it, can't hear it at all!"

"You still want to be a competitive knight so quietly? A competitive knight who cannot leave a deep impression on the audience is undoubtedly a failed competitive knight!"

"Arthur is Arthur! You are you! Don't imitate blindly, but know how to explore and use your own advantages!"

"Can't you learn something so simple? Try again!"

'...'

'Arthur, you irresponsible guy...where did you go? '

Chapter 176 Black Snake: Zofia and I taught you very well!

"What a coincidence~ Why are you here, my defeated enemy? Are you not going to continue enjoying your idle retirement life?"

"..."

"That's really weird. I remember that I obviously lost to you~ You have no reason to stay here to teach these infected people... You weren't being harsh, right? Ugh~ The face-saving [Whipblade Knight] is really disgusting Oh~"

"To shut up!"

"I won't! The Laughing Knight will never lose his hearty smile!"

"...Where have you been in the past few months? Are you just leaving these people alone?"

"As the Light of Casimir, the most popular knight, and a two-time knight champion, I am very busy ~ fan meetings, advertising sponsorships, and participating in large and small competitions... Oh ~ sometimes it is really I envy you, a retired veteran knight~"

“Don’t always stress about my retirement.”

"Why? It's not because calling you that makes you look very old, right?"

"...Arthur, you are really good at making people angry."

"No, no, no, I actually prefer to make people laugh~ By the way, the 'Glory Knight' who has become famous recently is your niece."

"I'm very young! That's just a distant relative!"

"Okay, okay...Hey! It's a joke, don't do anything!"

"Take up your spear and put on your armor. I know you carry them with you in the shadows... Let us fight again openly."

"Haha, do you really want to fight me again~ But I refuse! Now I have no need to fight you, so I'm just standing here empty-handed. If you can, just whip me with your whip blade~ Bully empty-handed A weak person is not a knight~"

"...Arthur!!!"

Zofia looked at Arthur who raised his hands and smashed them, and became very angry.

After all, she didn't draw the whip blade towards Arthur's handsome but smiling face, even though she knew that this guy who paid attention to his image would definitely not be caught without mercy.

It's not in keeping with her chivalry.

But she was still so angry!

So she put the whip blade back to her waist and rushed over.

No matter what she said today, she would have a fight with this guy who deserved a beating.

……

The tall Minos looked at Arthur and Zofia who were wrestling together, and wiped his ax blade silently.

'...It seems that sometimes the information on the red wine newspaper is not groundless. '

Dicaeopolis saw that the relationship between the two was very natural.

In front of Zofia, Arthur was as bad as a child who likes to play pranks.

Not the [champion] who always has a confident sunshine and a bohemian smile under the spotlight.

This made Dicaiopolis feel that Arthur's originally illusory image gradually became real and full.

And what about Arthur?

He was just enjoying his [experience] in Casimir.

Black snakes have never resisted contact with short-lived species, nor have they resisted 'making friends' with short-lived species.

He does not hesitate to interact with every individual that interests Him.

After all, Black Snake never believed that all individuals could be concluded with the simple words short life and long life.

Although Black Snake planned and called on the immortals to unite and jointly dominate the short-lived species, he never believed that there was any absolute difference between the two.
