"If you're buying sunglasses for this lady, I don't recommend black sunglasses."
"Why?"
"Think about it, if the Lupo tribe wear sunglasses, people might think of the Syracuse mafia. In the Great Knight Territory, it is said that many merchants do business with the Syracuse people. It would be very troublesome if they were misunderstood."
"You make sense." Miss Qin Liu nodded in sudden realization, "Then what should we do?"
"If you must wear sunglasses, you can choose light-colored ones. Our store happens to have light gray sunglasses for women. A movie star wears the same pair when shopping privately. You will never be misunderstood."
"That's the one."
“But the price may be a bit high.”
"It's ok."
While Miss Bailang was daydreaming, Qin Liu and the salesgirl completed the transaction behind her back.
Chapter 2024 Invisible Shackles04-11-12 00:02:
After changing her clothes, Miss Bailang really looks like an urban white-collar worker. If she were holding a folder in her arms, she would look like an office clerk who was devoted to her work.
Miss Qin Liu looked around Bai Lang with great interest. On the one hand, the clothes looked very novel on her. On the other hand, the slim-fitting shirt work outfit could really highlight her figure. Miss Bai Lang seemed to be more eye-catching than before.
But there is no need to worry. Almost homogeneous outfits are very effective in weakening a person's presence. Although Miss White Wolf will be more eye-catching, people who meet her will only regard her as a prettier office worker and will forget about her as soon as they turn their heads.
Miss White Wolf was very satisfied with her new work clothes. Not only did they achieve her goal, but they were also very comfortable to wear. She asked as she walked:
"Qin Liu, did you pick out this outfit?"
"The salesgirl picked it out."
"pretty good."
"They are professionals after all, but I didn't expect the quality of service here at the Great Knight Territory to be so high."
"This is the land of the rich, so it's normal that the service industry is well developed."
"Well, actually I wanted you to take a look for yourself, but you were in a daze and the shopping guide was stunned."
Miss White Wolf blushed slightly and defended herself, "I suddenly remembered something."
"What did you think of again?"
"I think to myself, many people actually live in the eyes of others, trying hard to please others every day, but they themselves are unaware of this, and instead mistakenly believe that they are working hard and are becoming more mature, more successful, and more perfect."
"Did you think about this when you were talking to the salesperson about hip skirts?"
"Well, a hip skirt is an example. Think about it, when a person wears this kind of clothing, it basically means that she has given up some of her rights and has chosen to follow the crowd and cater to the gazes of others. What she really cares about is the gazes of outsiders."
"We expanded our thinking to the point that if a person is like this, then when she puts on any piece of clothing, she is thinking about how others will see her. She lives under the gaze of others, and that gaze is invisible and exists all the time, like a discipline, a symbol, a pressure, a shackle, so people become prisoners of the gaze of others. The interesting thing is that people wear these shackles voluntarily."
"You mean, a person chooses to be watched and chooses shackles at the same time, but why is this so?"
"Perhaps it's because human values are too easily influenced by the outside world. No, human values are almost always shaped by the outside world, just like the crowded crowds on Jinyu Avenue right now. These people are busy and desperately pursuing so-called success. However, the concept of success is not defined by themselves, but given by the times, society, and capitalists. They think they are pursuing their own desires/dreams, but they don't know that they are just desiring the desires of others, desiring the desires that others have arranged for them."
"Not only them, but also their parents, friends, brothers and sisters, are all accepting the homogenized discipline of the times, with the same set of shackles of 'success' in their heads. As a result, they are forced to live under the huge pressure of gazes, which comes not only from the outside, but also from within the family. Under these gazes, they blindly desire and pursue 'success', expecting to become 'successful people' defined by the capitalists. They take the initiative to put on shackles, burn everything, and do everything they can... I wonder, when they reach old age and the fire of life is about to wither, looking back on the past, will they feel that this life-long pursuit is meaningful?"
"Will they regret it because they have seen through everything? Or will they tell themselves: He will not regret wasting his life, nor will he be ashamed of doing nothing. Of course he won't, he worked so hard, he worked so hard, he even sacrificed his entire life."
"But, what on earth is he living for? Has he ever lived for himself? The 'value' he has been pursuing his whole life is nothing but a dream woven by capitalists and powerful people. Is it really meaningful to pursue these things? But who can say that there is no meaning? Isn't the meaningless meaning still meaningful? Is a certain meaning really certain? Isn't it another kind of discipline, another kind of religion?"
"Look at it from another angle. Does the meaning of right really exist? What is right and what is the standard for judging? For individuals at a certain stage, the meaning of right seems to exist. Yes, it does exist. It exists in the hearts of different people at different stages. Everyone is sensitive and stubborn in guarding their own values, believing that they will never change. They will fly into a rage if outsiders slightly offend them. But in fact, those values are too easy to deteriorate and corrupt. And when they deteriorate and become corrupt, people will feel that they are closer to the 'truth' and the 'truth'. Human beings are such weak creatures."
It was not the first time that Miss Qin Liu had seen White Wolf in the Thinker state, but it was definitely the first time that she had heard such confusing remarks. She did not quite understand, but as Miss White Wolf's exclusive guardian knight, she wanted to show that she could understand him.
So, Miss Qin Liu nodded seriously and sighed in a contemptuous tone: "Well, that's very profound and makes sense. Humans are such weak creatures. Ah, so weak."
Miss White Wolf burst out laughing.
"Qin Liu, you are so funny, is that what I meant?"
"Yes, I understand. You said before that people are restricted by the 'gaze' and are put in shackles. I thought, this is really the case. When I was in the honor guard, my job was to be looked at, so I dressed myself up carefully every day to keep a good image. But after I left, I relaxed, completely relaxed. Later, when I met you, I started to take it seriously again, even more seriously than when I was in the honor guard."
"I know. I want you to think I'm pretty. When I'm getting dressed and combing my hair, I'm always thinking, will Miss Olicia like it? Would a different style be better? There are some little secrets I've never told you. Sometimes, when I find you looking at me, I'm so happy that I think all my efforts are worth it. So you see, I've also been put under the invisible shackles you mentioned, and I'm willing to do it."
Miss Bailang certainly understood that her meaning had been misinterpreted by Qin Liu. What the other party said was completely different from what she expressed. She should have used more profound reasoning to refute and explain it clearly.
But she couldn't do it. Her face flushed uncontrollably. She felt like she was inexplicably dragged into a war and then defeated by her guardian knight in the most unreasonable way.
Chapter 2024: My Own Arrangements04-12-12 00:02:
At the same time that Miss White Wolf was heading to Lin Guang's house.
The Chamber of Commerce, within the Special Security Department Operations Division directly under Director Durul.
All the members gathered together, talking and guessing the minister's intention in calling everyone together.
Although the knights seldom saw this direct superior who dropped in from the sky, they knew something about him. It was said that the minister was born in the League of No Heirs, and after joining the Chamber of Commerce, he had been working under Director Durul.
The most striking thing about the other party is probably his incredibly fast promotion speed, but no one has any objection to this.
If you want to ask the reason, it's very simple. Who can go deep into the Kjerag area, steal Kjerag's important business intelligence right under the nose of the Black Knight, the triple champion of the Knight Competition Championship, and hand it over to the Chamber of Commerce?
The answer is, no one.
And it is impossible for a second person to do it.
Not only that, since receiving the order, the minister has been working day and night, and is often nowhere to be found. The knights privately speculated that perhaps the quality of their people is too low, so the minister is simply unable to distribute the tasks assigned by Director Durul, and can only work hard alone.
You know, Director Durul is one of the core figures of the Chamber of Commerce and a senior executive among senior executives. How could the task assigned by him be completed so easily?
Because of this, all the members gradually reached a consensus that while they were enjoying a leisurely and peaceful life, the busy minister was carrying the heavy burden for them. In such a cold place as the Grand Knight Territory, their luck was even more precious.
After Miss Platinum arrived at the meeting hall, she first conducted a brief inspection of her subordinates. This was her first time to conduct such an inspection, but she was very skilled at it. After all, when she was in the No-Head Alliance, she often commanded assassin teams to act.
She had a total of twenty-eight subordinates, divided into four groups. The number of people was not large, but they were all fallen knight elites loyal to the Chamber of Commerce, doing all kinds of dirty work behind the scenes. To be precise, these people were a group of knights who would do anything to achieve their goals and had no honor at all. They were not necessarily much cleaner than the assassins she had led before.
All the members seemed to be full of energy, which was a little beyond her expectations, but it was also understandable. After all, these people had gone through layers of selection before getting this dirty golden rice bowl, so it was reasonable for them to want to perform actively in front of the new leader.
Miss Bai Jin was not happy about this. If her subordinates were too motivated, she, as a supervisor, would feel pressured, and that was not what she wanted. What she wanted was for everyone to slack off together. Unfortunately, the latter idea was obviously unrealistic.
The minister's serious expression made the knights nervous. No one dared to speak, and they all guessed in their hearts that the task the other party was going to assign might be very important.
As expected, the first words that Miss Platinum said shocked the knights: "Everyone, I don't have the habit of talking nonsense. This time I called everyone here to discuss the Linguang family's participation in the knight tournament."
"Linguang Family, is that the Linguang Family of Cyril Linguang?"
"Who else could it be besides that Lin Guang?"
"Interesting. I've heard that the descendants of the Linguang family have always been against us."
Miss Bai Jin pressed down her wrist, interrupting her subordinates' whispered discussion, and said solemnly: "Lord Durul believes that the Lin Guang family's action this time is intended to interfere with the normal holding of the Knights' Tournament. This morning, the tournament organizer sent us the list of participants for the main competition. Margaret Lin Guang and Maria Lin Guang are both on the list. Our mission is simple to say, that is to find a way to make them retreat when they see difficulties."
The members were silent. They were not fools and knew that this matter was of great importance. Moreover, the older of the two sisters in the Lin Guang family, Margaret Lin Guang, had won the championship in the previous tournament.
Although the title of champion was taken back and the title of Brilliant Knight was also stripped, but the champion is still the champion, which is enough to prove the terrifying strength of Margaret Linguang. Among all the people present, perhaps only the supervisor who can deal with the Triple Crown Black Knight can deal with him.
Miss Bai Jin felt everyone's gaze and realized that she had become the backbone. This was within her expectations, and she was very experienced in this kind of thing. As a leader, no matter what difficulties she faced, she had to appear confident. Only in this way would her subordinates confidently follow her forward.
"Don't worry about the reputation of the Linguang family. They are just a fallen noble family." Miss Bai Jin said lightly, "And I already have a plan. Just follow my instructions."
"Understood, sir, what should we do?"
"Let's start with Maria Linguang. According to the schedule, her first official match will be tomorrow morning. The first thing we need to do is to make her miss the match tomorrow morning."
"Do you mean to say that..."
A subordinate with a fierce look on his face had red light flashing with excitement in his eyes, and he slowly made a gesture of scratching his neck.
Miss Bai Jin was secretly surprised, thinking that the other party's thinking was even more outrageous than that of the Wu Zhou Alliance. However, her purpose was not to make big news. Unless Director Durul gave an order, she would never do such a thing, so she refused without thinking.
"How about negotiation?" Another knight who looked very literary suggested in a low voice, "If you want to negotiate, I can help you negotiate with Maria Linguang. Appropriate threats should be very effective."
"Threats are uncontrollable means, and threatening the Lin Guang family is unlikely to be effective." Miss Bai Jin shook her head again, and then said bluntly, "We don't need to make things too complicated. The way to make Maria Lin Guang miss the game is very simple, just break one of her legs. I have received news that Maria Lin Guang will be active in Jinyu Avenue from the afternoon to the evening. Find an opportunity to quietly complete the matter before tonight. Can you do it?"
"I will not dishonor your reputation, sir."
The knights signed the military order with full confidence. Maria Linguang was not a Yao Knight. The former had participated in many rounds of open auditions, and her strength was roughly known to everyone present. It would not be a problem to deal with her.
At this time, a subordinate asked another question in a low voice.
"Master Supervisor, what should Knight Yao do?"
"Shining Knight..."
The corners of Miss Bai Jin's lips twitched slightly, but she still maintained a cold expression on her face. She said calmly: "The plan against Maria Linguang is to give her a warning. If she obeys, it will be fine. If she dares to mess around, I will make arrangements for her!"
Chapter 2024: Noble Courtyard 04-13-12 00:03:
After leaving Jinyu Avenue, walk along the lush tree-lined avenue. At the end, you can see a lonely and solemn aristocratic courtyard.
The marble exterior walls are covered with ancient ivy, showing the weight of time. Statues of galloping Pegasus stand on both sides of the gate. Through the door, you can see the paved paths in the courtyard. They pass through the garden like a winding river, dotted with solemn statues of knights.
For some reason, although this is a large courtyard of the nobility, it gives people a desolate feeling.
Miss Bailang stood at the gate of the courtyard, hesitating and not daring to approach. If it was in front of other nobles' doors, there would have been waiters coming to greet them and pass on the message to the owner by now, but the Linguang family was in an extremely deserted state. Not only were there no waiters, but even the inner garden seemed to be deserted.
The door was not closed. Did he want her to go in and look for someone?
This is so...
Uh, the Ursus nobles broke into Cyril Linguang’s house to... look for his descendants?
So nervous.
What if I run into someone from Lin Guang's family? Will they be particularly aggressive?
You have to know that you are the enemy of the Linguang family, not only because of the relationship with Ursus, but also in personal relationship. After all, Senior Herag is half of his teacher, and General Patriot has a special relationship with him...
However, both Helag and the Patriot had fought with Cyril Linguang on the battlefield, and they had a life-and-death friendship.
No, there is one more point that has been overlooked.
Since the Patriot had fought with Cyril Linguang, it meant that her adoptive father was most likely involved as well. So, to the Linguang family, was she actually the enemy's daughter?
Saying.
What is the relationship between the generals of both sides fighting on the battlefield?
To say that they are complete enemies is not entirely correct. The reason why Ursus has a high opinion of Cyril, the enemy general, and rarely smears him seems to be due to General Hellagur's clear statement.
Miss Qin Liu noticed something strange about Bai Lang. He looked dazed and nervous, and seemed to be concerned about his identity.
She reached out and patted Bai Lang on the back, comforting him: "It's okay, don't be afraid, you are just an ordinary person now, you just came here to deliver a letter, and don't forget, except Miss Lin Guang, no one knows who you are. We have both met Miss Lin Guang, so there is no need to be afraid."
"Who, who said I was scared?" Miss Bailang blushed and gritted her teeth to say, "I was just observing, uh, to see what's going on in the Lin Guang family."
"Oh~ I see, I was wrong." Miss Qin Liu said with a smile like coaxing a child, "My lord is not afraid, my lord is the bravest. Now, my lord, your guardian knight will clear the way for you."
After saying that, Miss Qin Liu took the initiative to walk in front and led the white wolf into the courtyard of Lin Guang's house.
Perhaps it was because she had passed the threshold stage, after entering the courtyard, Miss White Wolf's nervous mind calmed down a lot. While searching around for the owner of the courtyard, she curiously looked at the knight statue on the roadside.
"Qin Liu, you just said that you also met Miss Lin Guang."
"Yes, when I was in Rhodes Island."
"Why didn't I hear you say that before?"
"Because I wasn't very familiar with her, I just knew her. At that time, I often went to the training ground to ask for swordsmanship lessons, and I saw her almost every time I went there, so I knew her, but she always seemed busy and didn't say much. One day she suddenly disappeared, and I thought she was on a mission. Later, after accepting your commission, I found out that she returned to Casimir."
Just as Miss Bailang and Qin Liu were whispering to each other, a serious female voice suddenly came from the flower bed, interrupting their conversation.
"Are you two reporters from the newspaper?"
Miss White Wolf raised her head in a hurry and looked in the direction of the voice. She saw that the speaker was a young lady named Kuranta. She had her brows furrowed, her right hand on her waist, and looked as if she was facing a great enemy.
"No, no, we are not journalists, we are messengers."
The frightened Miss Bailang waved her hands hurriedly, feeling extremely anxious. She was already extremely wary of the Linguang family, and now she was afraid of any misunderstanding.
"Just kidding, the reporters don't have the guts to go directly into Lin Guang's house." Ms. Kuranta suddenly smiled and asked in surprise, "Hey, are you scared, little girl from the Lupo tribe?"
"No, no, I...I'm fine."
Miss Bailang responded stutteringly, constantly guessing the other party's identity in her heart. Although this person looks very young, his temperament is mature and sophisticated. He is probably a big shot in the Linguang family.
Sofia nodded with a smile. Although she was no longer as willful and frivolous as she was when she was young, she still couldn't help but want to tease the cute little girl when she saw her, especially the shy one. But then again, why did the other party look so flustered when she saw her?
"You want to send a letter, right? Who is it for?"
"We are from Rhode Island and the letter is for Miss Margaret Linguang. Are you from the Linguang family..."
