The Cloud-Raised Brave Man's Travels

"Actually, the people of Rhodes Island are quite supportive of your plan to improve Kazdel's land situation and rebuild the Sarkaz capital. The regular operators hope Rhodes Island can have a permanent base, and the Sarkaz operators are eager to donate all their income to support it. Lucille has been spending almost every day in the core city of Che lately. She only found time to come and visit after you returned, and now she's probably gone again."

"I won't let them down."

"I believe you, but just take a good rest today."

At night, the doctor was once again timid. Looking at Koya sleeping beside her, she thought that this was not bad. It turned out that love really needs a little accumulation. However, there was still no lack of ridicule in the chat group.

The next day, when Koya awoke, the doctor had already left for work. All the affairs of Rhodes Island now fell on her shoulders. If it weren't for PRTS's assistance and Amiya's occasional help with paperwork, she might have truly been forced to live the life of 007. But watching Rhodes Island improve day by day under her leadership, the doctor felt a sense of accomplishment, like playing a business simulation game.

Koya had nothing to do today. Cecilia's unique hybrid status had aroused the curiosity of the medical staff. Zofia, Maria, and Kusaka were familiarizing themselves with Rhodes Island under Margaret's guidance, completing their operator tests. The Mastema trio had gone to Che City to visit Exia. After meeting with the girls he had brought back at the medical department and the training grounds, Koya went to see Warfarin and Klosir, and finally headed to the doctor's office.

"Mr. Koya~~I'm a bit busy today. I saw the news about you running around on the Rhodes Island terminal."

"Ahem, stop teasing me. I'll be your assistant for a day today. Is there anything you need me to do?"

"Here are a pile of documents. Please help me deal with them."

Elsewhere, Grand Knight Casimir and the merchants of the Commerce Union were discussing the upcoming Knights' Tournament. As a major event held every few years in Casimir, the Knights' Tournament directly impacted every merchant. They all hoped that the champion would be a knight they had supported, and ideally, their armor would be emblazoned with their company's advertising.

So does winning the championship really depend on the strength of the knights who support them? That might be a factor, but the most important factor is the exchange of interests between the various chambers of commerce. If nothing unexpected happens, the champion of this Knights' Tournament will be chosen at this table, unless a knight powerful enough to break the capital blockade emerges, such as the Shining Knight, the Black Knight, and now the Blood Knight...

"What did the Blood Knight say?"

"As long as some preferential policies for infected people are opened up, he is willing to be a stepping stone for others."

"That's not bad. Infected?... Then we'll treat Rhodes Island's potions as a bonus for participating. Every infected person who participates in the Knights' Tournament will receive a free course of potions. If they make it to the knockout rounds, they'll receive a full course. If they make it through the knockout rounds and advance to the top 32 of the main tournament, they'll be treated like Casimir citizens."

"No problem. I think the Blood Knight will agree to this condition."

"Speaking of which, the Blood Knight's Originium disease should have been cured, right?"

"No, he just controlled the Originium disease. According to him, he is fighting for the infected. But if he is not infected anymore, then how can his words be convincing?"

"This guy is really a good person."

The Knights of Casimir have indeed been eroded by capital, but among these knights there are always some unique "fools" who adhere to the virtues of chivalry and fight for others. They are the ones who shine dimly in the neon lights of the Great Knights' Leader but radiate their own light.

"The Blood Knight is easy to deal with, but what about the Candle Knight?"

"According to her, she doesn't really want to participate in this competition."

"Oh, that's a shame. If she were to participate, the customer flow would be at least two or three levels higher."

"Don't have any bad intentions towards her. Even if you ignore her old adoptive mother, she is a genuine noble from the Tower of Leithnia."

"I know, I know. This session seems to be no problem. Everyone, make your bids!"

Amidst the constant barrage of bids, the meeting proceeded smoothly. The eventual champions were the Northwood Knights, one of the most prominent Grand Orders of Casimir. Under their wing were the Knights of the Bladehelm and the Knights of the Spiked Shield, an old-school competitive order that dominated the Central Division.

Even without spending money, the Northwood Knights are still the favorites to win the championship, but as the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. Even if you have the strength, you must understand the rules, otherwise other knight orders will definitely teach the Northwood Knights what the rules are.

At this moment, the private terminal of the president of the United Chamber of Commerce in the main seat rang. The old man in the main seat didn't care at all. He took out his private terminal and read the message. He knew that his terminal would either not ring at all, or if it rang, it must be an important matter.

[Information from the Supervisory Council's internal spies: Rhodes Island will soon be making an extended stay in the suburbs outside the Grand Knight's territory. Koya Constantine may participate in the Knight's Tournament alongside Margaret Linguang.]

After seeing this message, the old man placed his right hand on the armrest of the chair, tapping it lightly and rhythmically with his index finger.

"Gentlemen, let's put the champion of this tournament aside for now. Mr. Crowe, I'm sorry, but I may have to stop this transaction."

"Mr. President, I unconditionally support your decision, but can you tell me the reason?"

"Naturally... that dragon may want to participate in this tournament. If he does, then this tournament must be held in the most fair manner possible."

"That dragon... this seems like a good opportunity. Given his strength and appearance, I think he has every chance of attracting a lot of attention to our tournament."

"Yes, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity. But the problem is... we have to make sure he doesn't go all out, otherwise the Great Knight Territory will be reduced to ruin. That's why I said that if he participates in this tournament, he must ensure fairness and justice."

"That's right, that's right."

"Everyone, this meeting is suspended. We'll convene again three days after the Knight Tournament registration closes. How about that?"

"Yes, President."

Representatives from various companies rushed out of the conference room, and some anxious people even made phone calls in the corridor.

[XX, who's the most beautiful of the idol knights in our order? She's got to be clean, not promiscuous, and preferably a little smart and likable. It has to be a woman, but I'm not looking for one. Remember, make a list for me within two days and hold an internal election. Pick the most beautiful and sensible one. Got it?]

[XX is opening a job posting immediately. The only requirement is a beautiful and clean female knight. Find one for me within two days.]

Obviously, all the big businessmen in the business association knew about Keya's only hobby. There was nothing they could do... He didn't like money and didn't know much about food, clothing, and daily necessities. If they wanted to build a good relationship with him, they had to start with this only hobby. However, some businessmen took a different approach -

[XX, when you prepare the beautiful woman, please also prepare some nourishing foods. Make a list of the good things from Yan Country. Yes, the more nourishing, the better.]
