About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

Old man, you are plotting against me!

It seems that no one can give him justice for the time being. Orson can only place his hope on these comrades who fought together and entrusted their lives to each other.

If it were them, they would definitely understand that this behavior now has no meaning at all!

We have overcome so many seemingly impossible difficulties together, so we can definitely understand each other!

“Tallulah—”

"I'm going to give you a princess carry in a moment, so don't run away."

There is absolutely no sense of mutual understanding!

"Then I declare that this year's Casimir Knights' Tournament [Special Performance] has officially begun!"

"Wait a minute--Wow!?"

Following the host's slogan, everyone rushed towards Orson at the same time.

According to later generations, the war was too brutal. Even though he was surrounded by eight beautiful girls, no one present would want to switch sides with the unfortunate boy.

"Kel'tsit took the lead and summoned something to snatch Orson away and hold him in her arms!"

"Kel'tsit was embarrassed, so she threw Orson out with a red face!"

"Maria hugged Orson! But Zofia seemed to be having an internal conflict beside her!?"

"Maria and Zofia are fighting! Are you really a family!?"

"Orson ran away! Chase him back!"

"Orson, who attempted to escape, was caught by Alina and Tallulah! Orson seems to be on fire!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Trying to kiss is a violation. Miss Li will be punished once!!"

"It seems Platinum, who had been preparing himself mentally, has finally figured it out. The Knight Slayer has joined the hunt!"

"Kitty, these opponents won't fall for your cuteness, so hurry up and act!"

"Uh... well, this is just an exhibition match, there's no need... Can someone stop them?!"

"Orson, hold on, Orson! The audience hasn't seen enough!"

"Doctor, where is the doctor!? Oh, the doctor is on the stage, then everything is fine—no, this is a big deal!"

In this way, with the audience roaring for overtime again and again, the battle lasted for a full 14 hours.

"I...I won...Pfft!"

In the end, Maria stood firm in the sea of blood and corpses. She raised her trembling hands to declare her victory.

But the next second, the final winner fell heavily to the ground before she could even finish her words. Around her were her "competitors" lying on the ground, who had been defeated and eliminated at some point.

As for our [Trophy Cup] Orson, he was lying on the side with a '@△@' expression. I guess he will have PTSD about this arena for a long time.

At this point, all those who participated in the Battle of Casimir were killed, and no one survived the tragic arena.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the Patriots were also prepared to participate in this "exhibition match" prepared behind Orson's back.

Although this elderly man kept saying "I did it for Yelena", he still missed the competition due to his gender, which is a cause for celebration.

——BAD END——

93. The Knights' Tomorrow (End of this Volume)

"That's too much, Grand Knight Elder!"

After the [Special Performance Match], in the office of the Casimir Knight Association, Orson angrily complained to the Grand Knight about his behavior of selling out himself.

"Ahahahaha! Sorry, Orson! But the citizens have just experienced such a major change. They really need a sufficiently enthusiastic 'celebration' to adjust. And I think you guys had a lot of fun too."

Before Orson, an elderly but vigorous Kuranta laughed and apologized. He was the Grand Knight Commander of the Knights' Association, a figure closer to the pinnacle of power than the Council of Supervisors or the National Council.

"It wasn't enjoyable at all. I was almost killed! My companions must have felt the same way, right, Tallulah, Dr. Kal'tsit?"

“Well…” “Hmm…”

Orson tried to pull Kal'tsit and Tallulah beside him to denounce the Grand Knight together, but the leaders of the two organizations showed subtle expressions.

Although they were a little hesitant at the beginning, later on, both Tallulah and Kal'tsit openly played with Orson and had a great time.

As vested interests, the two were too embarrassed to denounce the instigator, the Grand Knight. This was the terrifying bondage of capital!

Far away.

"Let's not talk about exhibition matches for now... In short, can you really convince the Chamber of Commerce? I'm well aware that our 'demands' will cause a certain degree of unrest in Casimir, so we hope to get your complete guarantee."

Orson decided to put aside the incident in which he was almost torn apart by a few horses and an old friend. After all, there were more important matters to discuss with the Grand Knight.

As mentioned before, although a small number of the rescued infected people have returned to their original lives, more infected people are still in a situation where they have nowhere to go.

In order to solve this problem, and at the same time resolve the reason why everyone came to Casimir in the first place, "Rhode Island's financial problems", Orson and the others came up with a suggestion -

An area was demarcated on the edge of the town of Casimir for the infected to settle in. At the same time, this area was used as a Rhodes Island agent factory to produce related medicines and sell them to Casimir.

It not only solved the problems of monitoring and housing for infected people, but also solved Rhode Island's financial problems.

After all, even if no one believed it, the potions Rhodes Island manufactured were indeed effective and practical. It was just that the lack of a formal factory made mass production difficult. If they could secure a stable supply and demand channel, even if they couldn't become a multinational giant, at least Queen Kai could continue to pick up girls (referring to treating illnesses) in the future.

"Don't worry. I'm different from those people in the business association. Agreements formally certified by both parties must not be violated. This is our country's tradition, and it's the spirit that you have protected for us."

The Grand Knight took out a contract, which contained a contract statement regarding Rhodes Island's pharmaceutical factory in Casimir.

After signing its name on it, Rhodes Island officially obtained the authority to sell drugs and operate factories in Casimir.

"As for your concerns, I won't lie. There are many unsophisticated 'companies' within the Chamber of Commerce, and Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals' official entry into the market will undoubtedly cause dissatisfaction among these companies. Of course, they don't have any legal grounds for resistance, but they might resort to underhanded tactics—just as they have done before."

"Please rest assured that the Integration Movement will provide a certain degree of assistance. We can resolve all problems that the law cannot solve."

Tallulah said this to the Grand Knight Commander, who glanced at Kal'tsit and shrugged after confirming that Kal'tsit said it was okay.

"You're all in the same group anyway, so whatever. If anything goes wrong, it'll definitely be the owner of Senomi, that old guy, who'll be the first to get upset."

The Knight of the Code family probably never imagined that the Reunion Movement and Rhodes Island were originally on the same side. But now he had plenty of time to think about it slowly in prison.

"Now that the establishment of the Rhodes Island Pharmaceutical Factory has been confirmed, I will leave first, Grand Knight Elder."

After getting the promise from the Grand Knight, Orson stood up and prepared to leave.

"Little one—get down on your knees."

"Eh?"

Orson had just stood up when the Grand Knight Commander suddenly called him and gestured for him to kneel on the ground.

Orson was stunned at first, but when he saw the sword in the Grand Knight's hand and the other's serious expression, he understood the meaning of the Grand Knight's words.

This is a knighting ceremony, and it was the Grand Knight who personally knighted Orson.

"Kneel down."

"..."

Orson said nothing more. He knelt on one knee in front of the Grand Knight and looked up at the old knight who was old but full of spirit.

"In the name of the ancient Pegasus, I command you to be humble."

The Grand Knight gently placed his sword on Orson's right shoulder.

"In the name of the eternal Holy Light, I command you to be brave."

The long sword is placed on the left shoulder.

"In the name of Casimir's everlasting spirit, I command you to hold fast to your heart."

Finally, the Grand Knight sheathed his sword.

"Stand up, Orson—[Silent Knight]. You are now an Honorary Knight of Casimir. The gates of this kingdom of knights will always be open to you, no matter when or where."

Unlike the 'competitive knight' or 'war knight', the Grand Knight personally conferred the title of 'Knight' on Orson.

Orson stood up and bowed slightly to the Grand Knight Commander, then left the room.

[Now you might not be worthy of that silly guy, my daughter?]

The subconscious Black Snake saw this scene and whispered to Tallulah.

"Knights are not popular in Ursus."

Tallulah responded calmly.

——At least I was also canonized as a noble by Kazdel.

That’s what Kal’tsit thought.

------

The specific needs of the factory in Casimir are Kal'tsit's domain, and representatives from Rhodes Island will arrive for discussions later. It would be better to say that all members of Rhodes Island will probably stay in Casimir for a long time, working together to build the first truly "infected-dominated factory/living area" on the Terra continent.

"How was the chat with the Grand Knight?"

Not long after leaving the Knights Association, Platinum suddenly appeared from nowhere, just like when the two first met.

"Became a knight."

"...?"

Orson's answer left the white pony a little confused.

"Forget it, anyway, the matter has finally come to an end. What are your subsequent plans?"

Platinum asked Orson casually, and at the same time took out a badge from his pocket. It was the badge representing the "Platinum Throne" of the No Helmet Alliance.

"As for the follow-up... I'm not sure yet, to be honest. Maybe I'll go to Colombia, or maybe go back to Ursus first. How about you, Platinum?"

Orson still remembered Rosemary's words "I've met the Doctor" at that time. Combined with the information he heard from Master Senomi, it was obvious that the "Doctor" had been operating on the Terra continent for longer than he thought, and her footprints were wider than he thought.

Although he didn't know why, Orson wished he could follow in the Doctor's footsteps and witness what she had experienced.

"I'm going on vacation first, to really slack off and take refuge. Although the two Qingjin from the Wuzhou League are dead, the organization hasn't been completely eradicated. The people from the 'Black Iron Position' are still alive. I wonder what they'll do."

Bai Jin shrugged and threw the badge in his hand into a trash can.

The inheritance of the "Platinum Throne" has come to an end with me. The previous generation of Platinum passed on the concept of "goal" to me, and I finally found my "goal".

"I think Miss Platinum has been slacking off the whole time... pain, pain, pain!"

Orson was halfway through his words when Platinum poked him in the waist with his finger.

"Before you leave, should you spread the photo of a certain maid all over Casimir?"

"I was wrong, Miss Platinum. Please forgive me for being so foolish, ignorant, and insignificant."

When Orson heard about his photos of himself in women's clothing, he immediately fell to the ground like a tiger.

"puff--"

Seeing Orson like this, Bai Jin couldn't help but laugh.

——I thought my life would just be meaningless and without any fluctuations, but this is really unimaginable.

After smiling, Platinum looked at Orson, at this decisive and gentle boy who always moved forward.

Bai Jin wants to leave with Orson, but before that, she must solve the remaining hidden dangers of the "No Hero Alliance".

Although she knew very well that as long as she told Orson the truth, he would definitely help her solve the hidden dangers that had not yet been exposed, Bai Jin did not want to hinder his progress because of her own reasons.

And... no matter how you look at it, something like 'saying goodbye' to the past should be done by the person himself alone.

"Orson, close your eyes."

"Huh? Could it be that Platinum, you—"

"Stop talking nonsense and just shut up."

Bai Jin suddenly gave Orson an order in a tough tone, and Orson, whose lifeline (referring to the women's clothing photo) was in the other party's hands, had no choice but to do as he was told.

In the pitch black vision, Orson vaguely felt his lips touching something.

Something soft, dense—pungent.

“Mustard—!?”

Orson, with mustard stuffed in his mouth, burst into tears, while Platinum, holding half a tube of mustard in his hand, showed a devilish smile.
