About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

Maena thought so.

Not long after, the Grand Knight Casimir led the Central Electric Street—

"Maria, I may not be able to protect you. If anything happens to me, remember, don't worry about me."

"Uh… Orson?"

Orson was sweating profusely as he gave instructions to Maria, who was confused about the situation behind him. He seemed to realize the seriousness of the current situation.

In front of Orson was a mysterious man who was over two meters tall, wearing a large cat-ear helmet like the headless knight Celti, and covered in a pitch-black cloak, standing like a mountain.

"Orson, come and tell me how many people you have hooked up with behind Yelena's back since you came to Casimir."

The mysterious man put one hand on Orson's shoulder and asked Orson in a low and deep voice.

29. The Spear of Ursus strolls in Casimir

Based on Orson's previous personal experience, there is a high probability that he will run into acquaintances when going out.

In fact, it’s no big deal to run into acquaintances. After all, I am an upright person. At most, I will often be blocked in a corner by a group of people.

In short, at the beginning, Orson looked around vigilantly, using all his exploration skills, for fear of running into acquaintances on the road again.

But after arriving at the destination with Xia Guang, Orsen felt much more relieved. There were no clothing, cosmetics and drug stores on this electrical hardware business street. No matter how hard Orsen thought about it, he didn't think that the girls he knew would go to such a place.

Then, Orson bumped into the old Patriot.

"Um... uh... first, could you please help me tie it to the spear?"

Orson was put on the shoulder by the Patriot who was wearing a cat-ear helmet and a windbreaker to hide his identity. He was sweating profusely and was silent for a long time before he finally uttered these words.

Afterwards, a sound similar to popcorn popping came from Orson's shoulder.

"Orson, is this someone you know?"

Xia Guang asked with some curiosity. The tall man in front of him wearing a helmet seemed to have an extremely strong oppressive force on Orson, but the relationship between the two did not seem to be hostile.

"Is... is he an acquaintance?"

Orson looked at the Patriot, and it was more like he was asking the Patriot a question than responding to Xia Guang.

"What do you think, Orson?"

The deep voice threw the question back to Orson. The only thing he could be thankful for was that he didn't see the Patriot's spear within his visual range, and because of the helmet, the Patriot's scarlet eyes that could kill people would not look directly at him.

But in fact, if you want to launch Orson, you don't need a "spear" as the only carrier. Patriots can just tear down any of the telephone poles on the street and send Orson to the gantry with their own hands. Maybe they can even catch a wild golden flash.

"Anyway... sir, how should I put it... we are, like, relatives."

Orson thought hard, then spoke of a rather ambiguous relationship.

In the past, Orson had actually discussed with Froststar about how to address the Patriot. After all, calling him "Senior Patriot" all the time sounded a bit too polite, and most of the Rhodes Island operators, led by Amiya, now addressed the Patriot in this way, which was not very distinctive.

At first, Orson tried to call the patriot "old man", but was speared to the roof of the city wall by the other party.

Although he likes to call himself a "remnant of the old times", the old patriot doesn't seem to like being called that.

Afterwards, Orson was replaced by "Captain Bozhukas", and was asked by the Patriot in surprise whether he had lost his memory.

Orson actually felt a little warm in his heart. After all, the other party's reaction showed that the old patriot actually regarded him as a "very friendly" person. If he suddenly called him so formally, the other party would suspect that something was wrong.

—It would have been better if the Patriot hadn’t then worriedly hit himself on the head with a newspaper to help him “recover his memory.”

It can be seen that the way these Ursus bears treat "amnesia" is similar to repairing household appliances.

After that, Orson changed a lot of names, but in most cases he just used voice to activate the old man's destructive form. In the end, he continued to call him Patriot Senior.

Perhaps for this last Wendigo, he himself could not figure out what identity he should use to get along with Orson.

"So you're Orson's relative? You're so tall... Hello, I'm Maria Linguang. Orson has helped me a lot recently, and I'd appreciate your guidance."

After learning about the relationship between the two, Xia Guang saluted the patriot and immediately put into use the etiquette he had learned from Orson when he was working.

The Patriot also nodded slightly. This pony who abducted Orson had basic etiquette that was acceptable, which barely increased his favorability a little.

"Well, love... Hey, what are you doing in a place like this, old Eskimo?"

Orson almost blurted out the title of Patriot, and quickly made up a nickname.

Judging from the way the patriot almost drew his spear, he probably didn't like this improvised nickname.

But there was no other way. If the people of Casimir knew that the 'Spear of Ursus' that almost defeated Casimir had run here, the entire electronics street would probably be cleared out in about 5 minutes.

"...Tallulah said I don't look like a 'dying old man,' so today I'm going to buy a disguised ventilator to pretend that the Originium infection has begun to eat away at my body."

The patriot was a little embarrassed. He never thought that he would be troubled by something like "still looking strong as hell". This was probably the distress of those who were good at health preservation.

The Patriot in the original plot was indeed in poor health and could not even speak normally. Now, due to a series of actions by Orson, the Patriot is eating well and in good health, but he has to disguise himself as the one in the original plot.

"Ahahaha... After all, if they discovered that the Patriot was still in his prime, no matter how greedy the capitalists were, they would definitely not try such a thing."

Orson smiled wryly and responded in a low voice, and the scene of the tall man bending over and whispering to the shorter Orson made Xia Guang, who was standing by, a little confused.

"Casimir's corruption is more serious than I expected—no, I'm getting off topic."

The patriot suddenly remembered in the middle of the chat that he was not here to discuss the current situation in Casimir with Orson.

I want to kill this little B Zaizhi who slept with his own snow rabbit and then ran out to pull horses' tails everywhere.

The Patriot put his hands on Orson's shoulders again and began to look around for something suitable to tie the man to and throw him out.

"Orson and Mr. Eskimo seem to be getting along very well."

Xia Guang was moved as he watched the two of them getting along harmoniously and laughing happily.

"Ahahaha...yeah, yeah."

Although he wanted to complain loudly that he was almost squeezed into a rar and asked what kind of harmony this was, Orson could only force a smile and look at the Patriot.

"..."

The Patriot looked at Maria. Although his face was covered by a large cat-ear helmet, after spending such a long time together, Orson immediately understood that the Patriot seemed to be preparing to do something to Maria.

"Your name is Maria, right? Maria, [Lin Guang]"

The Patriot asked Maria, his tone emphasizing the word "Lin Guang".

Even for patriots, the name "Lin Guang" is a name that leaves a deep impression on them.

During his recuperation in Rhodes Island, the Patriot met Margaret Linguang, who was a qualified knight.

Therefore, when the Patriot heard that the pony that abducted Orson was also from the Linguang clan, an idea came to him.

"Ahahaha... yes, although I'm not quite ready to take on the Linguang family name yet."

Xia Guang rubbed his ears embarrassedly and said.

"Maria—are you free next time?"

"Ok?"

"Ugh……"

The Patriot asked Maria this, and the latter tilted her head curiously.

As for Orson, he sighed, "It's still going to develop like this."

The old patriot who often posts all kinds of cyber electronic garbage in the group, such as "Teach you 5 ways to identify a scumbag", "20 characteristics of a scumbag", and "Judging the other person's heart by their face!", is going to start personally "testing" what kind of girl Maria is.

"As for the timing... it should be no problem! Since you're Orson's relative, no matter what it is, as long as it's within my ability, I'll do my best to help!"

Xia Guang responded seriously, without any disgust or impatience in his tone.

"..."

After hearing Xia Guang's answer, the patriot was silent for a moment, then took out a small notebook from his windbreaker and turned to a blank page with no words written on it.

[Friendly attitude, plus points]

By the way, most of the content before the blank page is handwritten tips such as "Carter's living habits", "Home cooking recipes that the elderly can also make", "How to get along with a rebellious daughter", and "How to try to get along peacefully with a son-in-law".

30. A severe test for patriots!

"You're looking for a portable ventilator, right? If so, I remember this shop has one. Are you planning on buying one for your family?"

Xia Guang, who didn't know that he had become the "surveillance target" of the Patriot, took the initiative to act as a guide after learning the Patriot's purpose, helping the Patriot find "a ventilator that can better allow him to pretend to be an old man who is about to die."

"No, I'm buying it for myself."

"Eh...but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with your breathing."

Xia Guang was a little confused. Although he couldn't see the specific situation through the cat-ear helmet, from the Patriot's fluent way of speaking, he couldn't imagine that the other party needed a ventilator to stay alive.

"..."

The Patriot was stunned when he heard this. When he was rehearsing with Tallulah before, neither of them noticed that there was anything wrong with the fact that "the old guy whose whole body was infected by Originium and even needed an external ventilator to survive, spoke very fluently and could even consider rap."

(In fact, the black snake in Tazi's consciousness noticed this immediately, but because it was extremely rare and full of fun to see Bozhukas doing these things for the captain, the old black snake didn't tell Tazi.)

The Patriot silently wrote on the paper [Bonus points for strong observation skills], then glared at Orson, saying something like, "If you can't see something so obvious, how can you become a man worthy of Yelena?"

Orson, who is at the bottom of the food chain, can only shrink his head in grievance, and miss Junjun in his heart.

"Actually... I just... took some Golden Throat... This is my way of speaking..."

Patriots learn and apply what they learn, and consciously speak with fatal punctuation.

Then, Patriot was led by Xia Guang to a store selling precision machinery and equipment. Xia Guang took Patriot to look at the ventilators one by one, while Orson was attracted by the prosthetic limbs placed on the counter next to him.

Alina originally planned to buy the most sophisticated local prosthetic limbs after arriving in Casimir or Minos.

Although the prosthetic limbs that Alina has currently been assembled by Master Ai can meet her daily needs, more precise movements are still impossible.

Orson also tried to ask the technical staff of Rhodes Island to help with optimization. As a result, although the revision of Kal'heel improved the precision, it doubled the deployment cost. It is estimated that the "prosthesis" was also counted as an operator.

Another one, called Mel, had no changes after the modification, except for the addition of a one-button self-destruct function. It can only be said that different technicians have their own outrageous ideas.

So putting all that aside...what else can I do for Alina?

As Orson looked at the dazzling array of prosthetic limbs with different functions, he remembered something Alina had once said to him:

"Don't go out of your way to do anything for me, Orson. You and Tallulah have already done so much for me. If this continues, I'll never be able to repay them in my lifetime."

"I slept in darkness for a long time, and when I opened my eyes again, all I saw were miracles."

After saying this, Alina smiled to herself, as always. After that, Orson didn't continue searching for a better prosthetic for Alina. For the fawn, the most important "replacement" should have been found long ago.

Of course, it may also be that the laser cutting mode is indeed powerful enough.

"What's going on—Wuwaa!?"

After a brief recollection, Orson came to his senses and looked for Patriot and Xia Guang, only to see Patriot with a strange thing around his neck that looked like a CPU fan.

"It feels like someone who is about to die."

The Patriot pointed at the ventilator and asked Orson, holding the freshly baked invoice in his other hand.

"I'm sorry, Orson... I advised the senior to reconsider, but after hearing my recommendation, he still bought it directly."

Xia Guang next to him said a little embarrassedly that he seemed to have introduced the product too hard, which led to the patriot placing an order on the spot.

This old man usually spends a long time calculating the difference of a few cents when buying vegetables, but when buying these things, he pays for them at the speed of light after being fooled by a few words.

Orson looked at the line of words "Excellent eloquence, extra points" on Patriot's notebook and wondered if he should also give Patriot a full evaluation, saying "Easily deceived by sales pitches, deduction of points" on the first page.

After helping Patriot buy a breathing apparatus for camouflage, Patriot seemed to be in a much better mood than at the beginning.

But one thing is one thing, Patriot still didn't end his "test" of Xia Guang. He told Xia Guang that his means of transportation had broken down and he didn't know how to get back.

Orson vaguely remembered that Patriot had posted this joke in the group chat of "Loving Family" before. The general meaning was that a filial person would personally send the person back to the destination, while a scumbag would just take a Didi and let the person go on his own.

"Really? Then can you let me take a look? I'll help fix it!"

"...??"

The patriots were confused, because the previous jokes never mentioned the character of the guy who "excitedly said he would help you fix your car".

Seeing Xia Guang so excited and eager, with his eyes sparkling with light, Patriot could only bite the bullet and point at a car on the side of the road.

"Okay, senior, please leave it to me!"

Xia Guang excitedly took out a toolbox from somewhere, pried open the hood of the car in no time, and leaned inside.
