Now it was the Knight Commander's turn to be surprised. If Miss Qin Liu was calm, he would think it was normal. After all, the other party was very strong and it was obvious that she had experienced many storms.
However, it is strange that this fragile Miss Rupert could remain so calm after witnessing the treacherous, bloody and dark inside story of bounty hunting.
No, this was not calmness. Calmness was not enough to surprise him. The other party's performance was more like a kind of calmness that he was accustomed to. He immediately accepted this rule and asked about other things that interested him.
The Knight Commander was extremely curious about Miss Rupert. Although he liked Miss Vaifan more, he also wanted to know what kind of situation Miss Rupert was that made Yumila miss her so much.
He began to explain, "More than 90% of bounty hunters have connections with knight orders. Those who are qualified will choose to join certain knight orders, or find partners to form their own knight orders. Those who are weaker will often seek protection from powerful knight orders. Once they pass the test, they can also become a member of the knight order."
"Although I'm not from Casimir, I've heard before that registration for a knight order requires a very complicated official process... Can bounty hunters really form a knight order?"
"The situation you described happened more than a decade ago. Now it is very simple to register a knight order. You only need to pay a registration fee to the Business Federation and then pay a management fee regularly, and you can immediately become an officially recognized knight order."
"Then it would be very easy to become a knight? There would be no selection process?"
The Knight Commander shrugged with a complicated expression. "Yes, it is very simple. The selection process is no longer necessary. Since the Business Federation took over the management of knights, the number of knights has increased hundreds of times in just a few years, and civilian knight orders have also been formalized. In short, as long as you have money, you are an officially recognized knight and are eligible to pay money to participate in the knight competition auditions."
"You guys aren't a civilian knight group, are you?"
"The members of Gray Fang are all recognized regular knights." The Knight Leader said with a wry smile, "This is actually meaningless. In the past, we could live a carefree life with our knighthood, but now, there are knights everywhere, and we are no different from ordinary people."
"This is not a small matter, is there anyone in the knight class who opposes the decision of the Commercial Federation?"
"Oppose? What's the point? The Commerce Union controls Casimir, and whatever they say goes. Moreover, all the knights who have the ability to resist have become guests of honor of the Commerce Union. Not only do they not oppose, they also join the Commerce Union in oppressing us. The only unlucky ones are us, the lower-level knights.
"But everyone understands. Even though they are scolded every day, if it were me, seeing that the Business Federation offers so much money and such a good position, I'm afraid I would follow the Business Federation."
The trick of cutting and dividing is always effective, Miss Bailang thought secretly, as long as the Chamber of Commerce targets the weaknesses of human nature, it will certainly not fail. Faced with such an almost unsolvable method, where can an idealist like Miss Linguang go?
Can she use the glory of chivalry to make the common people and the corrupt knights change?
What do the common people and knights really care about: glory or their own interests?
If the answer is glory, then the idealists have fertile ground for growth.
But if the answer is profit, what can the idealists use to compete with the business association?
Reality is not a childish fairy tale. There is no passionate drama where a noble knight raises his arm and attracts countless people to follow. Casimir's sadness is a kind of sadness that makes people feel helpless and helpless.
"You said you were all born as knights. Does that mean you have never recruited other bounty hunters?"
"Of course not." The Knight Leader laughed at himself. "It's funny, isn't it? Even though we are no longer special, we still miss the fact that we were once knights, which is different from ordinary bounty hunters. That's why we organized ourselves and established a 'Knight Order' consisting of only 'knights'. But look at us now, are we any different from bounty hunters? In order to survive, we must learn to be ruthless and deceitful. We just don't want to leave the past behind."
Miss White Wolf felt that she had asked about the other party's sad story, but the Knight Commander did not care about these things at all. Perhaps he was too used to them, so used to them that he was numb, so he no longer cared.
Chapter 2024: Weird Things 03-16-12 00:02:
According to the intelligence from the Grey Fang Knights, Miss White Wolf learned the inside story of the disaster zone incident, the cause of which was directly related to the Chamber of Commerce. At the beginning of the month, a big shot from the Chamber of Commerce issued a task to collect disaster ore.
The so-called natural disaster raw stone is a crystalline substance with properties similar to the purest source stone ore left after a natural disaster. It is also one of the precious materials that gold diggers flock to regardless of the risks.
Therefore, a very interesting phenomenon emerged. According to the theory of the Messenger of Disaster, it takes at least three years for the disaster-stricken area to become relatively safe, and at least twenty years to fully recover.
But long before the three-year critical point, all the usable resources in the disaster area had been plundered, and because of the gold diggers' extensive plundering, the hazardous substances left in the disaster area would be cleared away extremely quickly, making the recovery speed of the area incredibly fast.
The Chamber of Commerce seems to need Scourge Ore for energy research, but Scourge Ore cannot be obtained from mines like Pure Originium, so they decided to obtain it through bounty hunters.
Although the various bounty hunter knight groups secretly have a lot of complaints about the Chamber of Commerce, they are actually trying desperately to please the latter. Being able to take over the direct tasks of the Chamber of Commerce not only means making a lot of money, but also means that their other subsequent operations can also benefit from it.
After all, the lawless zone is a gathering place for gray industries, and the gray businesses performed by bounty hunters are all carried out with the tacit approval of the Chamber of Commerce. It goes without saying how important it is to please the Chamber of Commerce.
Nowadays, the disaster stones circulating in the black market have long been consumed. The only channel to obtain a large amount of disaster stones in a short period of time is the disaster zone, and the disaster zone in the lawless zone is one of the areas with the most promising output.
According to the estimation of the leader of the Grey Fang Knights, at least half of the knights, mercenaries, and bounty hunters operating in the lawless zone have accepted the same commission. It just so happens that the mission location is in the deep mountains and dense forests where the whereabouts are difficult to find, so it is normal for murder and robbery to occur.
The infighting among bounty hunters that Miss White Wolf saw was a battle for supplies, and in the end, the Grey Fang Knights benefited. In this kind of battle, the advantages of large knight orders are unquestionable.
The temporary camp of the Grey Fang Knights was on the north side of the disaster area, which was exactly the same direction that White Wolf and others were heading. When they arrived at the temporary camp, it was already late, so Miss White Wolf stopped moving forward and set up the tent near the Grey Fang camp.
With bounty hunters everywhere in the disaster zone, it makes sense to choose to camp near the Grand Knights, at least it can have the effect of using the power of the other side to intimidate others.
The people of the Grey Fang Knights certainly had no objection to this. Whenever they had free time, these knights would show their courtesy to Miss Qin Liu. They probably wished that White Wolf would set up their tent inside the Grey Fang camp. However, Miss White Wolf would never do that. She would feel embarrassed to set up camp nearby.
evening.
After dinner, Miss White Wolf sat on a rock in the forest and looked up at the stars. When she was a little white wolf, she liked to stare at the stars in a daze, but after growing up, she did such things less and less, and she always seemed very busy.
There was a lot of commotion going on over at the Gray Fang camp, and no one knew what happy things they were talking about. Not long after, a few knights came over and said shyly that they wanted to ask Miss Qin Liu to teach them swordsmanship.
Miss Bailang was very smart. She knew that the real purpose of these people had absolutely nothing to do with swordsmanship. On the way back to the camp, they secretly glanced at Qin Liu countless times. She saw everything.
If it were her normal self, she would probably call Miss Qin Liu out of the tent in a serious manner. She knew that Miss Qin Liu had ways to deal with these suitors.
But sometimes, bad ideas pop up inexplicably in her mind, and Miss White Wolf will suddenly become the bad Miss White Wolf. For example, now, she suddenly feels that it is very fun. She wants to see interesting things, and she wants to become happy by watching fun.
Then, the alienated feeling she had originally felt from looking up at the starry sky quickly dissipated, and she became lively and energetic. She blinked her big, shining eyes, and gave the knights a subtle expression of "Don't worry, I understand everything", then turned around and shouted into the tent:
"Qin Liu, Qin Liu, come out quickly, everyone is here to see you."
Seeing their thoughts were exposed, the knights blushed instantly, but they had no intention of leaving. They just stood there, waiting for Miss Qin Liu to come out nervously and expectantly.
Miss Qin Liu heard the conversation outside in the tent. She originally wanted to come out directly, but after hearing what Miss Bailang said, she felt embarrassed and was a little conflicted for a moment.
Then, she saw Miss White Wolf's head poking through the tent. She looked mischievous and teased in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "What's wrong, Qin Liu, are you shy?"
"No way."
Miss Qin Liu blushed, and she also realized that her face was getting hot, which made her feel embarrassed. She was best at diplomacy in the Victoria Office, so why couldn't she let go of such a small scene today? Did Miss Bailang really have a great influence on her?
She noticed Miss White Wolf's smirk. To be honest, this was the first time she discovered such a mischievous and prankster temperament in her. It made her feel that Miss White Wolf had turned into some kind of lively creature. She felt itchy in her heart and liked her very much. At the same time, she had the idea of revenge.
A knight cannot take revenge on the lord, but this situation is different. She feels that she can take revenge, and she must take revenge severely, so that the naughty Miss White Wolf will realize her mistake and beg for mercy.
She felt her body getting hot, and she was surprised and puzzled. She seemed to be affected by the inexplicable desire. It was really strange.
Under the expectant gazes of the knights, Miss Qin Liu left the tent, and then used the Victorian people's best communication skills, and in a few words, she turned the situation into a real "swordsmanship instruction".
While giving instructions, her attention never left Miss White Wolf, who was sitting on a stone half a person's height with her knees bent, her eyes sparkling with joy, her chin supported by her right hand, laughing secretly at the scene in front of her, no one knew what she was laughing at.
It didn't matter if she didn't know, because Miss White Wolf seemed very happy, so her mood seemed to be infected and became very good. She also felt that what she did was very meaningful, she made Miss White Wolf happy, and she became satisfied with herself, and her heart was light, as if she was affirmed and more valuable.
Chapter 2024 Eavesdropping Operation 03-17-12 00:02:
After all, Miss Qin Liu is an elite of the Royal Guard Academy. Naturally, her strength is far superior to that of ordinary knights. The knights who visited her were eventually impressed by her overwhelming strength. Perhaps they realized that the gap was too big, and even their desire to pursue her faded a lot. After seriously learning from her, they said goodbye and went back.
Seeing that there was nothing to see, Miss White Wolf stretched and prepared to return to the tent, but at this moment, the whispered conversation of the departing knights reached her ears.
Although Miss White Wolf had very good hearing, she usually would never eavesdrop on other people's conversations. But this time was different. The knights were discussing Miss Qin Liu in private, which aroused her interest, so she pricked up her ears and listened.
"Their strength is too strong. I think there is little hope. What about you?"
'If I'm only a little bit behind, I can still try to catch up, but if the gap is too big, I will lose confidence.'
"Oh, I really don't want to accept this. I think among the Gray Fang, only the captain has a chance."
"It's hard to say. We all know that the leader has a relationship with Miss Yumila. Miss Qin Liu may not accept this."
'No, absolutely not!'
'Why not? What's wrong with you?'
"I will not allow anyone to deceive Miss Qin Liu's feelings. If the captain dares to do anything wrong, I will tell Miss Qin Liu about his relationship with Miss Yumila."
"Brother, I support you, but let's keep our voices down so the leader doesn't hear us."
"No one can hear us. Let's hide here and talk. Who can hear us?"
"Speaking of which, Miss Qin Liu is so beautiful, just like the big stars who play knights in the movies, no, she is even more beautiful than those big stars, with a great figure, super swordsmanship, and blonde hair. How can such an ideal person exist?"
"Yeah, I think so too. It's really simple..."
Miss Qin Liu sat down next to Bai Lang and poked the latter's shoulder: "What's wrong? Why are you sitting here and concentrating so much?"
"Shh." Miss White Wolf made a gesture to keep quiet. "I'm listening to them."
"who."
"The knights I just asked you for advice."
"You actually eavesdropped?!"
"They're whispering about you."
"Oh, what are you talking about me?"
"Ms. Qin Liu is so beautiful." Bai Lang imitated her while listening, "She is prettier than the big stars in the movies, has a great figure, is very good at swordsmanship, and has blonde hair. How can such an ideal person exist?"
Miss Qin Liu is used to diplomatic work and has a strong resistance to words, but it depends on the person. The same words taste very different when spoken by Miss Bailang, and her heart can't help but pound.
"Really, nonsense...nonsense, it's not true at all."
Miss White Wolf noticed Qin Liu's panic. The more she acted like that, the more excited she became. It was fun to tease others. After trying it once, she couldn't help wanting to try it a second time. She deliberately teased, "But that's what they said. Now, beautiful Miss Qin Liu, tell me, how could such an ideal person exist?"
Miss Qin Liu's face flushed, and she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. Suddenly, she figured something out, turned her head and looked carefully at Miss Bai Lang, the fun person. Then she stretched out her right hand, touched the latter's head, and asked gently in a very restrained and patient voice:
"Well, White Wolf, look at me and I think it's fun."
The moment her head was touched, Miss White Wolf's spirit immediately withered. After hearing Qin Liu's overly gentle voice, she even began to feel scared. She hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, I didn't. Hey, they are still talking. I'll tell you."
Miss Qin Liu didn't say yes or no, she just stared at Miss Bailang.
She saw a cat-like trait in the other person, which is to tease the person first and then see the reaction. When the person is about to get angry, she will immediately run away or pretend to be well-behaved. If the person is not angry, she will continue to tease. This teasing has no other purpose, it is just for fun.
However, although it is fun, what if things get turned on? Miss White Wolf probably doesn't realize enough about her own attractiveness.
While Miss Qin Liu was thinking, she looked at Miss Bailang. She was shocked to find that while she was thinking, the other party had forgotten her previous nervousness and fear, with a mysterious smile on her face, obviously she had found new pleasure in the overheard words.
"What did you hear again?" Miss Qin Liu couldn't help asking.
"They're commenting on your body. They're so lecherous."
"Tsk, all men are like this."
"They are still analyzing the plan to pursue you. It will soon become a research project for Qin Yanagi."
"How did you analyze it?"
"Don't worry, I'll give you a summary after I finish listening."
The poor knights had no idea that the private matters they were discussing had been heard clearly by Miss White Wolf, who had transformed into a "fun person".
"I think a long sword is more appropriate as a gift. Miss Qin Liu is not like those people in the red wine newspaper. She won't like messy decorations."
"Don't make a mistake. According to the tradition of knights, weapons are given by those with higher strength to those with lower strength. You can't give weapons to others."
'How about flowers?'
'Too tacky, I think it's better to give a book as a gift.'
"Give away books? You are a bounty hunter, have you read the books you are given? Do you know how to choose?"
"I have read chivalric novels before."
'That's screwed. Why would anyone watch something that's not presentable? It has to be elegant and profound, something like that.'
"No, no, it's too difficult. I can't compete with you in terms of strength, I can't choose the gifts, and there are competitors like you. I think I should just give up. What do you think?"
'I gave up a long time ago.'
"Huh? This isn't really your style."
'I've fallen in love with someone else. When I arrived at their camping site, I realized that Miss White Wolf was my favorite. Didn't you notice that she's actually very pretty? When I saw her blink, I felt like I had fallen for her.'
Miss White Wolf's breathing hitched, realizing that the topic had turned to something she had not expected.
'She is very pretty, but her figure is not outstanding.'
'At first I thought so too, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But after accidentally looking at it a few more times, I felt it was too touching. Now the more I think about it, the more I worry about it. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night.'
'That's an exaggeration.'
'It's not an exaggeration, and her strength is very weak, almost nothing. I think it's realistic to pursue her. Can you give me some advice? "
"Brothers, please help me with this!"
"I think the sword she holds is just a showpiece. She must like pretty, flashy things."
"She went to Casimir for sightseeing, so she must be used to eating, drinking and having fun. You just need to..."
Listening to the distorted White Wolf attack plan, Miss White Wolf's expression gradually became subtle.
