Chen Huijie, I am not a good person anymore!

Hongxue glanced at Laurentina and Arturo who were picking up food for Roya, and then thought about Froststar and Tallulah of the Integration Movement. She complained in her heart that this guy was really good at seducing people, but when she thought about how she seemed to have been kept by him without knowing it, Hongxue couldn't get angry.

Laurentina became interested immediately when she heard Hong Xue's words and looked at her with a sly smile.

"What, are you jealous?"

"I..." Hong Xue wanted to say no, but when she saw Laurentina hugging Luo Ya's arm after saying this, she was so angry that her tail was straightened, "Let go of me now."

The smile on Laurentina's face gradually turned malicious, regardless of the fact that Roya's tail kept poking her back. It wasn't that Roya didn't want to push her away, but the Deep Sea Hunter was stronger than Draco, and Roya estimated that he was at least on the same level as the Patriot.

"I'm not holding your hand, why are you so anxious? Besides, isn't there another side?"

Hong Xue's chest heaved with anger, which made Miss Bai Jin sad. Arturo glanced at Roya's left hand, thought for a moment, then reached out and hugged it, looking at him innocently.

"Do you like this?"

"I beg you two to stop adding fuel to the fire."

Luo Ya helplessly used his tail to push Arturo and Laurentina apart. If this continued, he would have to worry about being killed prematurely by Hong Xue with a knife when he was sleeping at night. Hong Xue had a personality that easily got angry, and these two had made her angry, one intentionally and the other unintentionally.

After having eaten and drunk his fill, Luo Ya stood up, pushed his chair away and prepared to leave. He still had some things to do.

"You guys eat first. I still have to go to Lin Guang's house. The bill has already been settled."

Seeing that Luo Ya was about to leave, Bai Jin hurriedly ate two more bites and then quickly followed him, making it difficult to tell for a moment who was Luo Ya's follower between her and Hong Xue.

The four people left stared at each other, and Arturo recalled Roya's emotions just now.

"Don't worry, he's not angry."

Laurentina and Hongxue were more or less relieved to hear this. They didn't want to make Luoya unhappy. Fortunately, Luoya didn't get angry about this kind of thing. However, what Arturo didn't say was that she felt that Luoya's emotions were full of helplessness and embarrassment, but also contained some joy. That's why she hugged Luoya's arm like Laurentina.

But Arturo thought this was normal. After all, Laurentina was the type with a good figure and a very beautiful face. No matter how much Roya resisted, he would still be a little happy. So what would happen if he could bring out this happy emotion and magnify it?

Thinking of this, Arturo's thoughts got out of control. After all, Roya only allowed her to play for her in order to prevent Arturo from causing any trouble, and Arturo would not be polite then.

Hong Xue stared at Laurentina, pointing at the two unopened bottles of wine on the table. She wanted to fight her in the Ursus way!

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

Luo Ya, who had just walked a short distance, suddenly had the bad feeling again and scratched his head in confusion.

"Why do I feel like someone is thinking about me again?"

"What kind of weird intuition is this? Is it accurate?"

After all, they have known each other for a while, and Bai Jin's attitude towards Luo Ya has gradually become casual. Sometimes she would subconsciously forget that the person next to her can at least compete with Xuan Tie and just won a helicopter race.

"Very accurate. So far, I haven't made any mistakes. And every time I have this kind of premonition, it's not a good thing. I guess I have to be more careful when I go out."

Luo Ya's tail swayed slightly. Although he said so, he basically never let down his guard in the past few days. After all, Casimir was the territory of the Chamber of Commerce and the Supervisory Commission. If he wanted to offend one side, he had to ensure the balance of the other side. He didn't believe that Platinum was really arranged by the No-Horn Alliance to be his temporary tour guide.

But since Platinum wanted to follow, Luo Ya didn't mind using her in return. If he was going to Lin Guang's house, there were some things he had to do, such as bringing some delicious food. After all, Maria was a little glutton, and there was a big glutton waiting for him.

"By the way, is there any dessert shop nearby?"

"Yes, but... how should I put it, Mr. Luo Ya, aren't you worried about the whereabouts of the Candlelight Knight?"

This was something that Bai Jin had been concerned about since daytime. Roya didn't seem to show much concern about Viviana's disappearance, but they had clearly had a good relationship before, and Roya was not the type to be indifferent to his friends' affairs.

"Don't worry, because she won't be in danger."

"how do you know?"

"analyze."

Under Bai Jin's guidance, Luo Ya walked towards a dessert shop, explaining the process of his analysis as he walked.

“I’ve heard the reports and asked Hongxue to watch the news. There were no signs of a fierce battle at the scene, but Viviana is quite strong. Even if she was attacked by surprise, she would not be defenseless.

"However, there was only a bloody arrow left at the scene as evidence of framing the Wu Zhou League, but no signs of her having fought. This proves that she left with the other party voluntarily. Regardless of the reason, at least she is safe."

Listening to Roya's analysis, which was similar to the conclusion of the No Helmet Alliance, Bai Jin also understood why Roya was not worried about Viviana's disappearance.

"Who do you think would want to take her away?"

"You can't guess?"

"I can't guess. This incident is related to me, but it is not enough to affect the entire Wuzhou League."

Bai Jin shook her head. If she could have guessed it, she would not have been so sad about this matter. But this time she was the only one to take the blame. Xuantie and Qingjin didn't want to get involved at all. To put it bluntly, if something really happened, she, the Queen, would be the one to take the blame.

"...Then it's really not easy for you."

As someone who often takes the blame, Luo Ya actually felt a little sympathy for Bai Jin. Although this girl's misfortune was due to him,

"You haven't said who it might be."

"This is a very simple question." Roya's tail tapped Platinum's head gently, "Just think about it, Viviana is involved with those forces. Who would benefit more from making the situation like this? It's enough for who hasn't shown up yet."

After being physically hit by Luo Ya, Bai Jin subconsciously thought about what he said. Aren't the ones involved with Viviana the Chamber of Commerce and the Supervisory Commission? According to Qing Jin's speculation, this kidnapping incident might have been directed and acted by the Supervisory Commission, but various signs showed that things didn't seem to be that simple.

But apart from these two, what other forces could be related to Viviana, and could make her voluntarily be taken away... Wait, Bai Jin remembered that when he was eavesdropping on Roya a few nights ago, he heard him and Tolan mention another force.

"Letania..."

Listening to Bai Jin's muttering behind him, Luo Ya knew that the most critical step of the plan was basically completed. The Commercial Federation and the Wu Zhou Alliance were basically trapped. It all depended on how the Wu Zhou Alliance would act next.

Chapter 181 The Boy Chasing the Sunset

The endless golden plain, the wind blowing the wheat waves brought ripples, the young Cyril held the wooden sword and walked through the wheat fields, and Roya's voice came from behind him.

"Cyril, run slower! If you step on other people's wheat, I'll beat you up!"

The teacher's call stopped Cyril in his tracks. He turned around and saw a hornless Sarkaz standing next to Roya, carrying a longbow that Roya had snatched from a noble servant. He looked at him with a gloomy and helpless expression. Although Roya spoke harshly, he was smiling.

"Teacher!" Cyril had a bright smile on his face, forming the most perfect contrast with the gloomy black iron. "I never knew this place was so beautiful. It wasn't like this the last time I came here."

"Why else do you think it's called the Golden Plains?"

Cyril remembered that the teacher knocked his head while speaking. At that time, he and Luoya had known each other for half a year. He also met Heitian, who cut off his own horns because he hated his identity as a Sarkaz. At that time, Cyril also smelled the fragrance of wheat, which was a smell he would never forget in his life.

But what impressed him more was the teacher's eyes. He was gazing at the endless golden ocean. The wheat was rising and falling like waves in the wind. The setting sun dyed it red. The windmills were turning in the distance. Roya's eyes revealed nostalgia and emotion, a look that Cyril had never seen before.

"It seems that the wheat has adapted to the land. This year's harvest will be very good, and there will be fewer people who don't have enough food. She will definitely be very happy."

Until now, Cyril still didn't understand who the "she" that Luoya was talking about was, but he thought that she was probably a very important person to Luoya, and then Luoya put his hands on their heads.

"Let's stay here this month and set up camp tonight. As for what story to tell today... well, why not tell the story of a fool who challenged a windmill?"

A crazy fool, a fool who cannot recognize the reality; an upright man, a brave and fearless knight who dares to charge towards everything. Cyril and Heitie learned different things from Roya's stories one after another.

On that warm and bright afternoon, Cyril picked up his wooden spear after listening to Roya's story.

"I've decided! I want to be that brave and fearless knight too!"

"Heh... is there any need to do it? You're already a fool, and now you're planning to be a fool charging towards the windmill."

Kurogane was not polite at all. He and Cyril had completely opposite personalities. Cyril was sunny, cheerful, lively, positive, full of justice and warm-hearted, but Kurogane was taciturn, introverted and silent. He had a very realistic view of everything. However, Roya never expressed any opinion about their personalities. Apart from being very smart, the biggest feature of Kurogane and Cyril was that they both listened to him.

"Tsk, that's much better than having a sullen face all day long, and who said I was going to charge at the windmill?"

Cyril put his hands on his hips with a look of disdain. Luo Ya, who was sitting beside him preparing dinner, just smiled and watched their interaction. He knew that Cyril and Heitie actually had a good relationship and could be considered enemies, but he also knew that the two would go their separate ways sooner or later. After all, their personalities were completely different. If Luo Ya hadn't mediated, they would have probably fought a long time ago.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to chase it!" Cyril pointed at the setting sun that had already half sunk into the horizon, "I want to duel with the sun!"

Cyril still remembered that Teacher Luo Ya's smile was very gratified at that time, and he also put his hands on his waist and raised his head, as if he was proud of his grand goal. Only Kurotsuchi rolled his eyes, with a tone of sarcasm and disdain.

"Fool, you didn't remember anything the teacher said. I told you that the sun is a huge fireball that can't be caught. Why are you fighting with it?"

"I don't care, I'm just going to chase it!"

As he spoke, Cyril picked up his spear. He still remembered that the reason why he chased the sunset was very simple. At that time, the naive boy always thought that as long as he ran faster than the sun, time would stop passing, and the teacher would have more time to stay with him. At the same time, it was also a way to prove himself to the teacher.

At that sunset, the boy was running chasing the sun. His teacher was shouting from behind, telling him to remember to eat as it was getting dark. His friends were worried that he would get lost in the night. That golden field was a scene he would never forget in his life.

Later, the boy chasing the sunset became the rising sun of the Golden Plains. He illuminated the night, illuminated his companions, brought hope to everyone, and became a true knight.

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

Feeling a hint of sweet fragrance in the air, Cyril slowly opened his eyes. He could no longer see anything, but he could still feel someone sitting next to him. His instinct told him that the person was Roya, but Cyril still called Roya in a low, hoarse and weak voice.

"Teacher, is that you? Sorry, I can't see clearly now..."

"I'm here." Luo Ya replied softly. He had been here for more than ten minutes and the cake he bought was placed on the table. "Are you dreaming?"

"Yeah, a nice dream."

Cyril's speech was still somewhat intermittent, his breath was very weak, and his voice was almost inaudible. All these signs indicated that he would not live long.

"What kind of dream was it?"

"I... dreamed... that I was charging towards the sun..."

“That’s what happened back then.”

Luo Ya reached out his hand and used his own flame to help Cyril to calm down. Although he could not extend Cyril's life, at least he could make him less painful. He also remembered what Cyril said.

"I still remember that time when you rushed towards the sunset, but ended up getting lost at night, and you went to ask Elida for directions. That was also your first encounter with her."

Elida, Linguang, Cyril's beloved wife. Cyril spent a lot of effort to allow her, who came from a commoner family, to marry into the Linguang family. In the end, it was Luoya who stepped in to make his parents agree to the marriage, but she passed away very early, more than 40 years ago.

"Yes...I remember, she came to see me every morning."

"It's because you were running around in the middle of the night and trampled on someone's wheat field. Isn't she here to ask you for compensation?"

Luoya knew that Cyril was not in a position to talk now, but fortunately, the memories he remembered went up to the day when Cyril got married. At that time, he also stayed in Casimir for ten years. In Luoya's memory, Alida was not actually that beautiful, but she had a very positive personality, was stubborn and never gave up, and she and Cyril were a perfect match.

“But Elida is really amazing. She dared to ask you for compensation even though she knew you were a knight noble. That girl... I can only say that she is a perfect match for you.

"I still remember that Ioletta secretly cried at that time. She liked you very much when she was young, but later she called Elida sister, which was really convenient for her."

Cyril closed his eyes. As he got older, he tended to forget many things. This memory loss became more serious during this period. Yesterday he almost forgot his lovely granddaughter, and today he couldn't even see her. Fortunately, this time it was Luo Ya's turn to help him recall the past.

He thought of the wheat field again. He remembered how he would chase the sunset and charge every day when the sun rose, how he, Black Iron and Roya would defeat those corrupt and brutal nobles and their servants, and how he would harvest wheat with Elida, who was not his wife at that time. The first flowers he gave were the golden lilies that Black Iron helped to choose.

"Later..."

Feeling that Cyril had fallen asleep again, Luo Ya suppressed the sound, slowly stood up, and left the room with the extra cake he had bought.

Maria waited outside the door for a long time, and felt relieved when she saw Roya make a gesture of silence. Cyril had not opened his eyes since lunch, which made Maria very worried.

"Mr. Roya, how is grandpa?"

"I fell asleep for now."

Roya said nothing more, but Maria knew in her heart that her beloved grandfather didn't have much time left. She said goodbye to Roya with some disappointment, and then walked towards the first floor. She hadn't eaten for a long time.

Luo Ya carried the cake to a door at the end of the corridor of Lin Guang's house, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door three times, then thought for a moment and added a sentence.

"it's me."

There was a sound from the door lock, followed by the sound of the door opening. Although he could not see anything, Luo Ya smelled a familiar smell, which was the food that accompanied him every night when he worked overtime at Longmen.

"Why are you eating instant noodles? Didn't Tolan bring you food?"

That’s right, the person in this room was Viviana who was announced missing, and what Luo Ya smelled was the smell of instant noodles.

"No, I asked Sister Maria for this. Sometimes I want to try something I haven't tried before. Mr. Tolan didn't neglect me. He asked Sister Maria to deliver all three meals on time."

Maria sent it? Luo Ya thought about it, and then immediately realized that it should be arranged by the man he had never met, Maenna. After all, Tolan's identity was special, and he couldn't ask Maria to help him. He could only ask Maenna to do this. Cyril allowed Viviana to hide in Lin Guang's house, so Maenna would not say anything, but would help instead.

However, Luo Ya really didn't expect Viviana to eat instant noodles. He was worried that Viviana was not used to it, so he bought a big cake to Lin Guang's house to avoid Bai Jin's suspicion and said that it was all for Maria.

"If he dares to neglect you, I will punish him later."

Roya's words made Viviana smile particularly brightly, but she soon remembered that it was inappropriate to let people stand at the door, so she simply invited Roya into her temporary boudoir.

"Come in and sit down. It's good to take a rest."

"Ah."

Handing the cake to Viviana, Luo Ya walked into the room under her guidance. The Linguang family's house was very big. Although this windowless room was dark during the day, there was no need to worry about being discovered when turning on the lights at night. It was just right to use it as Viviana's hiding place. Even if the Chamber of Commerce and the Supervisory Commission had ten times the courage, they would not dare to come to check the Linguang family's mansion, and there was still someone to take care of it.

Viviana looked around and there seemed to be no extra chairs, so she simply let Luoya sit on her bed. She put the cake on the bedside and looked at Luoya, who obviously didn't look very good.

"How is old Mr. Cyril?"

"It's too bad, he won't be able to hold on for much longer."
