We are from the future ark

"Therefore, we, several major companies, have worked together this time and used our true trump cards to counter the Blood Knights."

"As for Miss Maria, inviting her is more of an insurance policy."

"...Insurance?" Zofia was even more confused after hearing this. She looked at Maria who had remained silent from beginning to end, and turned her head again to ask, "What do you mean?"

"Although there is no evidence, we found that the Blood Knights' attitude towards Miss Maria is very different from that of others."

The staff had obviously prepared their remarks long ago, and said to Zofia and Maria:

"Maria is one of the few people who has had multiple encounters with the Blood Knight himself and is still unharmed. Moreover, the Blood Knight has only shown kindness to Miss Maria from the beginning to the end."

"Even in the arena, when the Blood Knight was killing everyone, he never attacked Miss Maria. Therefore, I suspect that the Blood Knight may have some special feelings for Miss Maria."

"——We don't know her, and this kind of speculation is too hard to trust." Zofia shook her head, rejected this statement, and then said:

"On behalf of the Linguang Family, I reject your invitation. Even if Maria withdraws from the competition, she will not cooperate with you."

"——Please think carefully, Miss Zofia." The staff member was obviously a little anxious, and then said to Zofia:

"The stakes we've offered this time are already very high. Moreover, as long as the Blood Knight is eliminated, from now on, in Casimir, the Linguang Family will receive the full support of our union. We will provide a large amount of resources to train the knights of the Linguang Family."

"——No need." Zofia paused for a moment, then refused: "As long as I am here, our family's knights will never need a teacher."

"I taught both Maria and Margaret. Do you think any of you know how to train knights better than I do?"

"Besides, resources and money - I don't think my financial resources are less than those of you guilds."

"Is Miss Zofia worried that Miss Maria will get hurt?" The staff member also became a little anxious, and then actually threw out some inside information that should not be disclosed:

"This time, we have united the 'Left Hand Knight', the 'Corruption Knight' and the 'Withering Knight'."

"I think Miss Zofia must also know the strength of these three people, right?"

"…Left hand?"

Zofia finally reacted a little. She had heard of this knight who was quite famous in Casimir.

Recognized as the strongest defender of the championship, countless knights who wanted to win the crown were defeated by this man. It can be said that if one wants to win the crown, the "Left-Handed Knight" is the one who must be defeated.

Now, even the defender of the championship position is going to take action, which surprised Zofia.

But... Zofia had never heard of the other two. Having been in Casimir for so long, she knew the names of all the knights, big and small, but she had no impression of these two at all.

However, considering that "Left Hand" is in this group, the strength of these two knights can be imagined.

This time... they really spent a lot of money for this Blood Knight.

“—No way.”

But Zofia still said so. This time, what she refused was not the bargaining chip, but the principle.

The principles of the Linguang family do not allow them to do such a thing. To unite these capitalists who are full of the smell of money and bring down a knight together is to take advantage of someone's misfortune.

Zofia finally pushed the man out. Outside the door, the staff and others looked at each other and shook their heads.

"…What should we do next?"

"What should I do..." The staff member pushed his glasses and said coldly after thinking for a while:

"If someone from a hero's family can't take up the mantle of hero, then we will create a hero!"

"Find a newspaper for me! Publish a news article saying that Maria is the greatest hope for defeating the Blood Knights. Publicize it!"

"Families who value the glory of their feathers sometimes won't stand up unless they are forced to do so!"

"When the time comes and the news spreads, I don't believe she will dare not come!"

……

At this moment, on another street, a knight in armor but a little drunk was walking in a dark path. He looked a little down and out.

This knight was not particularly famous. He was just a person who participated in competitions in Casimir and occasionally bullied newcomers to make a living.

However, the arrival of the Blood Knight forced his plan to make money in the arena to be cut short. He did not make much money this time, but he had no choice but to go to the bar and get drunk.

Anyway, in a place like Casimir, any knight would not starve to death. It was just that he was usually lavish, so it would be a little uncomfortable for him to suddenly have to live in poverty for a while.

"boom."

"Ugh...?"

Suddenly, there was a sound in the dark alley. The drunk knight looked over there in surprise, holding the bottle in his hand and took a curious look.

However, before he could see it all clearly, a figure walked out from the other end of the alley.

At first, he didn't recognize him, but the moment he saw the man wearing armor stained with blood, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

The knight sobered up in an instant, his legs weak and he sat down directly. The bottle of wine in his hand rolled to the side, but it couldn't help him recover at all.

"Blood, blood, blood..."

"..."

However, the blood-stained knight just glanced at him from beginning to end, and then did nothing else and left.

At the entrance of the dark alley, under the dim neon light, a thick mass of blood slowly flowed out...

At the entrance of the dark alley, flies were flying everywhere. They gathered and ate the three bodies on the ground, which had already been torn apart, the last bit of warmth left...

Chapter 59: Crazy Xia Guang, Physical Abnormality

The next day, Casimir's entire day seemed to start as usual, but a very eerie scream from the entrance of an alley immediately ruined the entire peaceful morning.

[Three knight corpses appeared in the alley, two of them were found to be Sarkaz after autopsy]

[Three knights died tragically in an alley, the murderer was cruel, suspected to be the Blood Knight]

[Privately killing the competition knights, who can punish the blood knight? ! ]

[Knight Casimir exists in name only, and no one can stop the Blood Knight]

——Reports like these began to be reported again, and almost all fingers were pointed at the Blood Knight. In addition, several "eyewitnesses" appeared later, which further confirmed the atrocities of the Blood Knight.

All of a sudden, everyone in Casimir, whether it was the knights, scholars, or civilians, all launched their crusade against the Blood Knights. However, no matter how much they cursed, no one stood up to really attack the Blood Knights like the warriors who slew the devil.

There wasn't even anyone to look for the Blood Knight's whereabouts.

Everyone seemed to have become a knight of justice, but everyone also seemed to have become a coward - no, at least the coward only knew how to protect himself and would not curse so harshly why other animals did not come to save him.

This is the inherent bad nature of human beings, or it is what humans have hoped to happen since the birth of civilization, or it is because heroic stories have been passed down for too long, and everyone has a common understanding - heroes will come to save them unconditionally.

However, when the hero does not appear, or the hero fails to perform his duties as they imagined, they will devalue the hero to be worthless.

There is no shortage of heroes in this world, but there may be fewer and fewer heroes.

However, at this moment, in the shadows, looking at the Blood Knight who once again dominated the top list in the newspaper, some people in the shadows seemed to have lost their previous panic, and instead became calm.

“…Let the newspapers publish the news.”

"The title is... [The Blood Knight is cruel and merciless, and the Little Yao Knight of the Linguang Family becomes the last hope that everyone expects]."

"This time, one of the Blood Knights and the Linguang Family must die!"

"I just don't believe that the Linguang family will not show their true trump card at this point!"

……

“Uooaaaaaa——!”

"boom!"

However, at this moment, in another place in Casimir, in a seemingly ordinary house, it has become a mess.

The woman's voice was like a roar and she kept making hoarse screams. She covered her helmet in pain and rushed around like a mad horse.

"Sister Xia Guang! Calm down!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

However, Chen Qi's voice could not relieve Xia Guang's pain even a little bit. Xia Guang tore off his helmet and threw it on the ground, creating a deep hole in the wooden floor.

Her long, dull golden hair was scattered in a very messy manner, making her look a little crazy. As Xia Guang screamed in pain, the ominous blood-red aura on her body became more and more obvious.

"Stop talking! Stop talking!"

"You are not me! You are not me!!!"

Xia Guang howled in pain, but the increasingly thick blood-red gas on her body finally brought her to the brink of collapse. She pulled out a long sword beside her and began to wave it like mad, as if she wanted to cut off something.

The sword skills were completely disorganized, as if just to vent his anger, chopping everything around into pieces.

"Sister Xia Guang?!"

"--what happened?"

However, at this moment, a sound like a spring breeze came from the second floor. Shining, who was originally responsible for taking care of Nightingale upstairs, slowly came downstairs, holding her ancient sheathed sword in her hand.

However, just as she went downstairs, she saw Xia Guang swinging his sword at her like a madman!

"Miss Shining?!" Chen Qi exclaimed. He wanted to stop it, but Chi Xiao's arrival would take time and he had no time to respond.

Watching the heavy sword chopping towards the head of Shining who had just come to his senses, Shining's pupils narrowed slightly and he subconsciously raised his hand.

"Crack!"

An extremely light sound of confrontation suddenly sounded, like the sound of thunder with little rain. The heavy sword turned into an afterimage and flew towards the wall on the other side!

"boom!"

The next moment, with a loud bang, Xia Guang, who was wearing armor, fell directly to the ground and did not come back to his senses for a long time.

"..." After doing all this, Shining returned to his usual indifference. Looking at Xia Guang who was lying on the ground and the blood-red aura surrounding him, he subconsciously frowned.

"This is... from Kazdel..." Shining muttered to himself, then looked at Chen Qi who was standing aside, and asked calmly, meeting his eyes that had just come back to their senses:

"Mr. Chen Qi, although I don't like the way this lady knight attacked, but now I seem to have some clues."

"I am very familiar with this aura. It is a unique infection in Kazdel, but the extent of this infection has almost corroded the interior."

“…She went there after all.”

Chen Qi was silent for a while after hearing this, and then shook his head. After a while of silence, Shining seemed to notice something and grabbed the arm of the unconscious Xia Guang.

Then, with a sound of disassembly, the armor on Xia Guang's arm was taken off, and Shining's arm was completely exposed.

"...lots of needle injection marks." Shining frowned slightly. Such marks reminded her of Nightingale.

At the beginning, Nightingale was under the persecution of drug catalysis. Not a single intact place on her body existed, just like Xia Guang is now.

"Mr. Chen Qi, does Xia Guang have the habit of injecting drugs?"

"...I don't remember her having such a need." Chen Qi thought about it carefully for a while and shook his head. Xia Guang had been away from Rhodes Island for too long. However, no matter how long she had been away, Chen Qi did not remember Xia Guang needing such a high-strength injection of drugs. Even those children with poor health did not have this need.

Then, Xia Guang probably picked up this habit during the years since he left Rhode Island.

"She only has armor on her body. There should be no place to hide needles and drugs..."

"…I remember she brought a small package."

Shining replied faintly, as if he had vaguely guessed something, and slowly went upstairs.

After a while, Shining returned downstairs and handed a small medicine bottle in his hand to Chen Qi.

"That bag is full of stuff like this. I think that's why Xia Guang went crazy."

"I'm not very good at medicine knowledge, Mr. Chen Qi, thank you for your help."

"...I'll find a way to get it tested."

Chen Qi looked at the crystal clear liquid in the small bottle without any instructions or labels. His expression gradually became more serious. He nodded solemnly and said:

"As for Xia Guang... I'll have to trouble Ms. Shining."

"I'll try my best." Shining replied calmly. At this moment, her eyes looking at the unconscious girl seemed to be more loving and less distant than usual.

What on earth was the reason that made this child go deep into such a dangerous place as Kazdel... and be driven crazy like this?

Although there are still many questions, Shining knows that Chen Qi may be completely confused now. These answers may have to wait until Xia Guang recovers and calms down for a while before making plans.

It just so happens that there is still some time before the next game, and they can use this time to figure all these things out.
