Chapter 167 Platinum: Want to Run Away

At the Linguang family, the tall, blond, handsome but melancholy Kuranta man covered his father Cyril with a blanket, then walked out the door and returned to his room. Then, looking at Tolan lying on his bed without any scruples, he silently put his hand on the sword.

"Tolan, this is not your home."

"I know this is your home, but I feel like you don't love it as much as I do, Mauna."

Tolan sat up from the bed and stretched, not taking Mainna seriously at all. He knew Mainna would not really chop him to death.

Mainna Linguang, Cyril's second son, was once a ranger known as the Lightless Knight, but now he is just an employee of a Casimir enterprise. Tolan felt deeply moved as he looked at his old friend. Many people commented that the high-spirited ranger of those days was eventually worn down by life, but only Tolan knew that Mainna was just too disappointed with the current Casimir, and this country did not even have the qualifications to make him angry.

Tolan knew Mainna too well. His heart had never lost its former sharpness. He just turned himself into a sword and restrained all the sharpness. But if it was really necessary, he could still put the tip of the sword against anyone's throat.

"How is old man Cyril's health?"

Since he met Roya that day, Cyril's condition has gradually become worse. Although his complexion and physical condition are better than before, he sleeps longer and longer, and his breathing becomes weaker and weaker. Even the doctor can't understand why.

The Chamber of Commerce and the Supervisory Commission also said today that they would send people. Everyone can guess that Cyril does not have much time left. The death of this legendary Casimir will inevitably lead to a new round of turmoil in Casimir.

Mainna was silent for a while, and finally sat next to Tolan, with a hint of loneliness in her tone.

"Probably... I won't make it through this spring."

Although he acted like he no longer cared about Casimir, it was impossible for Mainna not to value his father. He was not pessimistic about the fact that Cyril was about to die, but he hoped that his father could live longer, at least to see that Casimir had hope, so that Cyril could leave with peace of mind.

Tolan was silent for a long time. He knew that Mainna did not need his comfort. He was also sad about Cyril's impending death. When they were young, they had seen with their own eyes how high-spirited Cyril was. He led more than 40 people to annihilate 3,000 enemies, called on the entire army to command the battle, and single-handedly reversed Casimir's defeat and repelled Ursus' army.

But now, this legendary Casimir can only lie in bed, waiting for the day when his life comes to an end. Even his eldest son and granddaughter are not by his side when he dies. How can people not feel sad?

Thinking of this, Tolan looked at Mainna's melancholy and haggard face. In fact, he also wanted to punch Mainna now, but he knew why Mainna gave up his former high-spirited self, so he chose to loosen his fist.

"Do you want me to bring Margaret back?"

Margaret Linguang, the previous champion of the Casimir Knight Tournament and the granddaughter of Cyril Linguang, was once praised as the new dawn of the Linguang family. However, she was deported because of her identity as an infected person and her whereabouts are unknown.

Mauna raised her eyes and glanced at Tolan, with complicated emotions in her eyes.

"Can you find it?"

"When she was expelled from Casimir, who do you think helped her deal with the assassins who intended to ambush her?"

Tolan chuckled. Margaret Linguang was at the height of her fame back then. She had touched upon the bottom line of the Chamber of Commerce's interests and brought herself into a lot of trouble. On her way to deportation, she was ambushed by assassins from the Chamber of Commerce and the No-Heroes Alliance. Tolan accompanied her the entire way. It was not difficult for her to find information about Margaret by relying on her intelligence network in the wilderness.

"Some of my men saw her in Victoria a while ago. She was with two Sarkaz."

"You mean... two Sarkaz?"

When he heard the word Sarkaz, something flashed in Mainna's eyes. Even if Tolan didn't see clearly, he knew what he was thinking. It was nostalgia and disappointment, but not directed at Margaret but at Mainna himself.

"It's very similar, isn't it? Just like us in the past, you, me and that person. We were also like that at that time, the three of us walking in the wilderness, and he taught us a lot."

Tolan glanced out the window. When he received the news, he subconsciously recalled the sad past just like Mainna. One Lin Guang and two Sarkaz were so similar. The only difference was that the two Sarkaz following Margaret were not hornless.

Mainna quickly came to her senses and shook her head to indicate that it was not necessary and it would be better for Margaret not to come back.

"Why, you can't even let her see her grandfather for the last time?"

"She cannot return to Casimir yet. My father would not want her to come back."

Mainna and Tolan actually knew the truth about Margaret's expulsion. With Cyril's identity, it was impossible for him to fail to protect his granddaughter, but he was too old. He could protect her for a while, but not for a lifetime, so he could only expel Margaret from Casimir. Even Margaret's identity as an infected person was false news fabricated by Cyril.

This is not only a protection for Margaret, but also a hope that she can embark on the path of self-improvement. Mainna knows that it is too early to call Margaret back to Casimir, which will only waste Cyril's kindness.

"Okay, say goodbye to old man Cyril for me. I probably won't show up for a while. It's not that easy to get rid of the No-Hair Alliance... Oh, the No-Hair Alliance."

Watching Tolan climb out the window and leave, Mainna walked to the window and wondered whether she should lock the window or put a few mousetraps on the windowsill next time.

But when he thought of the Wuzhou Alliance, Maenna felt a little uncomfortable. Didn't he miss the past when he was full of vigor and thought that this land was not so bad?

But they can't go back. Today's Casimir is no longer the country of knights in people's stories. No, after all...how much better are the knights of the past than the current Commercial Federation?

..............................

It has been many years since Xintela joined the Helmetless Alliance, but she became the Platinum Leader only last year. After her master, the predecessor Platinum, sadly fell in love with their target and was shot to death by Xuantie's arrow, she naturally became the next Platinum.

According to normal people's thinking, there is only one Platinum who should be the leader of the Wuzhou League. Even before joining the Wuzhou League, Platinum herself thought so. However, she later learned that the power and responsibilities of the Wuzhou League were distributed in an inverted triangle, headed by three Xuantie masters, two Qingjins were responsible for major tasks, and one Platinum was responsible for team tasks. In other words, Platinum had the most work.

Unfortunately, Xinteleya is a person who doesn't like to work. Although the platinum position has a considerable salary and power, she is just lazy, which makes the Kuranta man with black hair in front of her feel helpless.

"Xiao Baijin, I've told you so many times that it's okay to take leave, but isn't it a bit too much to take leave eighteen times in one month?"

"Can't you?"

Bai Jin's eyes were particularly lazy, which made the black-haired man helplessly cover his face and shake his head. Forget it, although this girl is indeed lazy, she is a rare and capable person after all, and she is indeed worthy of the title of Bai Jin.

"This time it really doesn't work. I have a task for you to do. It's from Xuantie."

"Mr. Roy, I suddenly feel very unwell. Please..."

As soon as she heard that the order came from Xuantie, Bai Jin could guess without even thinking that it must be a very troublesome matter, but she hated trouble, and trouble from the Wuzhou Alliance often meant danger.

"This is not okay."

Roy shook his head rudely, with a cunning smile on his face, but Bai Jin only declined. She knew in her heart that the order from Xuantie could not be refused. Even the Qingjin Roy in front of her had a higher status in the Wuzhou League than her. Others said that Bai Jin's position was high, but she just wanted to run away now. She was worried that one day in the future she would be like her master, and no matter how many contributions she had made to the Wuzhou League in the past, she would not have a good ending in the end.

"This mission isn't that dangerous. It just asks you to monitor someone."

"Could it be Maenna Linguang?"

Most of the time, the mission of the Helmetless Alliance is to deal with certain disobedient knights. If it is necessary to let the Platinum Lord be responsible for surveillance, then the other party's identity must be no simple matter. Now, the most likely thing for Casimir to cause trouble is the death of Cyril Linguang. His second son, Mainna, is undoubtedly the object of everyone's secret attention. Even though Mainna has been hiding his sword for many years, no one dares to say whether Cyril's death will become the fuse for him to stir up trouble.

"No, I'll be in charge of monitoring Mainna. You're no match for him."

Roy waved his hand casually. Although the Platinum Position was a level above Casimir in terms of strength, what was essentially required was the management ability to handle any situation and any situation. His strength was definitely not as good as Mainna's.

Hearing Roy say this, Bai Jin didn't know what to say. After all, she was a platinum queen. If she couldn't beat Mainna, could she not escape?

But it is a good thing that there is no need to monitor Mainna. However, Bai Jin doesn’t know who else she can monitor for the time being. She thought about it and found that the current Grand Knight Lord does not have... Um, that’s not right, it seems that there is someone who is not a Grand Knight Lord.

"Are you talking about the man named Luo Ya from that day?"

"It seems that you are very smart. You can guess this."

Roy nodded approvingly, but Bai Jin couldn't help rolling his eyes, thinking that it would be better to monitor Mainna's movements. At least if she couldn't beat Mainna, she could still run away, but if she met Royana, it would be a real death.

"I see... I understand. Does this mission require me to commit suicide..."

Even Monique had no power to fight back in front of Roya. Bai Jin really didn't think he could get anything good. However, Roy was very optimistic and was used to Bai Jin's character of working for three days and drying the net for two days.

"Don't worry, I won't let you commit suicide. Xuantie said that the man named Luo Ya has a good personality most of the time and won't make things difficult for you. Just don't make him angry."

"What if you get angry?"

From her first impression, Bai Jin felt that Luo Ya's personality should be easy-going and not easily angered, but she didn't expect Xuan Tie actually knew something about Luo Ya.

"Well, I did, and you weren't going to like the answer."

Obviously, angering Roya would bring terrible consequences. Bai Jin covered his head helplessly. Couldn't someone else do this kind of thing? For example, Monique would rather work overtime for a month than deal with Roya. It would be terrible if she lost her life.

But the mission from Xuantie could not be refused. No matter how much Bai Jin resisted, he had to do it, otherwise the position of Bai Jin in Wuzhou League would be replaced by another person the next day.

"Sir Roy, does Black Iron... really exist?"

This is something that Bai Jin has been very curious about since joining the Wuzhou Alliance. There are hundreds of killers in the Wuzhou Alliance, but no one has ever seen the three Xuantie standing at the top. No one even knows whether they are male or female, or what race they are. If anyone has really seen the Xuantie throne, it can only be Roy, who has been in the Wuzhou Alliance for many years.

But Roy just shook his head. He came to Casimir from Bolivar and joined the Helmetless Alliance for many years. This problem also bothered him.

"To be honest, I haven't seen it either. I only heard that the Black Iron throne has changed twice. Now it is the third generation of Black Iron. Only one of the three Black Irons has been there since the establishment of the Wuzhou League. I have only heard... that's all. These are all false news heard from others and are not worth mentioning."

Knowing some things might not be a good thing. Platinum understood that Roy was protecting himself in disguise, so he did not ask any more questions. There have always been many legends about Xuantie. Some said that he was a famous Sarkaz legendary mercenary from Casimir decades ago, while others said that he had cut off his horns as a Sarkaz.

But no matter who Xuantie is, it has nothing to do with Bai Jin now. She can only carry out her mission with grievance and pray that Luo Ya can really maintain a good temper.

Only Roy stared at Bai Jin's back, then sighed helplessly. It would not be so easy to get out after joining the No-Hero Alliance. This girl was still too naive.

"But her platinum throne has white hair and white clothes, and Monique's cyan throne has cyan hair and clothes. Hmm... should I dye my hair too?"

While muttering, Roy took out his communicator and dialed a number. This was the first time he took the initiative to contact Xuantie. All of Xuantie's previous calls were one-way contacts and the numbers were all disposable, but this time Xuantie allowed him to call back.

It didn't take long before there was a response from the other end of the phone, a deep and hoarse voice came from the other end.

"How about it?"

"She doesn't have the courage to refuse, but is it really okay to just give this mission to her?"

In fact, from Roy's point of view, it might be more appropriate for him, Qing Jin, to monitor Roya. Although he was unwilling, such an arrangement was indeed unreasonable.

“The surveillance of that man was only done for the Chamber of Commerce to see. If he really wanted to do something, no one in this city could stop him.

"Cyril will die soon, and he will be in a bad mood. It will be good for us to let the Business Federation get into trouble."

Now Roy understood that the Wuzhou League's surveillance of Roya was just to show the Chamber of Commerce that "the Wuzhou League is working hard", but it was obvious that Xuantie didn't really want to offend Roya, so it was most appropriate to let Baijin go. After all, even if something happened to Baijin, it would not have much impact on the Wuzhou League.

However, over the phone, Roy subconsciously wanted to ask Bai Jin the same question just now. Although there are three great Xuantie in Wuzhou League, only this one has been coordinating tasks with him for so many years. What kind of people are the other two Xuantie?

If his guess was true, that Roy was one of the former Black Iron, a powerful immortal, then it didn't match what he had secretly heard about the first generation Black Iron trio being the same as the second generation, with a Kuranta and two hornless Sarkaz.

Who is that guy called Luo Ya?

Chapter 168 Luo Ya's Ecstasy

"The Infected Knight from Minos, Dikaiopolis, single-handedly stood out in the collective elimination match today and eliminated all the other dozen contestants. In view of the strength and excellence of this Infected Knight, the Knight Association decided to make an exception and award him the title of Blazing Axe Knight!"

On the street led by the Grand Knight, Roya sat quietly on a bench listening to the news coming from the big screen on the street. He estimated in his heart that this was happening faster than he thought. It seemed that the Chamber of Commerce was really anxious to find a typical infected knight, and Dikaiopolis was undoubtedly the best candidate they could find at the moment. This group of guys even made an exception and recognized the knight title that Dikaiopolis had casually given himself. This was really strange.

But this is not surprising. Most of the infected people are not qualified to participate in the competition, and it is even more impossible for them to have the support of any large knight order or individual. Dikaiopolis only relies on his own strength. Roya and Tolan just created an opportunity for him. Even the armor on his body was made by Roya and Tallulah. They wanted to make it better, but finally chose to make it a rough product to avoid suspicion from the Commercial Federation.

However, the axe in Dikaiopolis's hand was an absolutely sharp weapon. It was imitated by Roya based on Xiaoke's axe. It had traces of traditional Minoan forging and was very smooth to use.

"It seems that the Chamber of Commerce is really anxious. Well, although the living environment of the infected in Casimir is not as bad as that in Ursus, it is not much better. Currently, only Da Yan and Columbia are tolerant of the infected, but Da Yan has a strict management strategy, and there must be many dangers in the development of Columbia.

"It's not easy to find a place for the infected people on Terra, and the most important thing is to find a way to solve the mineral disease."

The Integration Movement has to face too many things. Luo Ya is always worried that this fragile organization will collapse and decline after he leaves. His blood is limited, and using it directly to curb the oripathy will bring unimaginable consequences. This kind of thing cannot be done too many times.

At this stage, there are still many things to deal with. The most important thing is to obtain the technology of mobile cities. Even if Roya regards Kazdel as the ultimate goal of the integration movement at this stage, he himself cannot say how the Sarkaz people will treat the integration movement. After all, because of the thousands of years of bad debts, the Sarkaz people have developed an extremely xenophobic character, and Roya does not really want to use the identity of a patriot. He knows that the patriot has a complicated feeling towards his hometown.

But it would not be appropriate for Roya to seek help from Kal'tsit and her Babel. After all, Babel, led by the current Demon King Theresa, and the Kazdel Military Committee founded by Tracy were in the midst of a civil war, and the Integration Movement should not be involved.

"I have to go to Kazdel myself, and I have to go back to Victoria. After I go back, will Abrana let me go?"

Thinking alone about the various possible consequences if he returned to Victoria, Luo Ya subconsciously touched his waist and pelvis. His current strength was much higher than before, but he was worried that Abrana would not let him go. He remembered that several of the Zhuying he trained seemed to have been sent to Casimir, and he wondered if he could contact them from here. He also didn't know how the task he had asked Kal'tsit to do was going.

The more he thought about it, the more troubles he had. Luo Ya helplessly discovered that he really never had any free time, and that his blindness did cause him a lot more trouble, so he had to rely on Hong Xue for help.

Feeling a familiar consciousness approaching, Luo Ya reached out and took the ice cream handed to him.

"Has the car not arrived yet?"

Sitting next to Luo Ya with an ice cream in his hand, Hong Xue glanced at the street not far away. It seemed that the target they were waiting for had not appeared yet.

"There are still a few minutes left. I can already feel it. Are you getting too close?"

Hong Xue is now almost leaning on Luo Ya, but he remembers that the girl used to keep a considerable distance from him.

"It's so cold, and it's just right for you to have ice cream because it's warm next to you."

In fact, Luo Ya really wanted to ask why the girl didn't think the snowfield of Ursus was colder, but he felt that if he asked, he would be recorded in his notebook, so he decided not to care too much.

"Is it okay for us to stay here? Will someone notice anything, like the No Helmet Alliance you mentioned?"

"No, the monitors of the No-Heroes Alliance are behind us. Even if they can read lips, they can't see our faces. Besides, we won't do anything later."

With Roya's perception range, it was not difficult to detect that Bai Jin was hiding 300 meters behind. The surveillance of the Wuzhu League was expected, but sending such a small number of people... was probably just to deal with the Commercial Federation. Xuantie probably didn't want to make Roya unhappy.

But for Hong Xue, the thought that someone was secretly watching her from behind made her feel uncomfortable, mainly because she was so close to Luo Ya now, what if people misunderstood that she and Luo Ya were in that kind of relationship? Oh no, Hong Xue found that she didn't seem to reject this.

While Hong Xue was daydreaming, Bai Jin, who was sitting in a milk tea shop 300 meters behind them, was drinking milk tea while thinking about the figure of Hong Xue that he had just seen. He subconsciously glanced at his ordinary washboard and felt particularly unhappy.

"Why are all the women around him so big? Don't they think they are a burden?"

Since receiving the mission yesterday, Platinum has started to monitor Roya, and then she found that this mission was really torturous for her, because whether it was Hongxue or Ghost Shark, they looked about the same age as her but had good figures, which made her want to bite them, not to mention Skadi. Platinum spent the whole night last night trying to figure out why someone could grow so big.

This made the already boring surveillance life even more uninteresting. Bai Jin summarized Roya's behavior patterns and found that this guy just accompanied women shopping all day long. Damn it, doesn't he have to go to work?

Jealousy has changed Miss Platinum beyond recognition. She also wants to go shopping and buy all kinds of delicious snacks and beautiful clothes. Although she is a killer, she mostly maintains her hobbies as a girl. But now she can only watch others go shopping and she has to report her movements all the time.

The worst thing is that if Luo Ya really causes any trouble, she will definitely be blamed. Xuantie and Qingjin will definitely throw all the responsibility on her, saying that she is incompetent.

"Please don't cause any trouble for me."
