Ark Traveler, I want to take a day off today too

Ice crystals covered his hands in an instant, condensing into a frosty gauntlet!

"boom!"

With just one contact, Linley’s fist shattered the Blood Knight’s spear and knocked the opponent back several steps. At this time, his words slowly flowed into the Blood Knight’s ears: “We do not represent the Supervisory Council, and we are not knights!”

"Then why are you here!" The Blood Knight roared and launched a charge!

With just one step, the Blood Knight's speed surpassed the peak speed of the Rusty Bronze, not to mention that his armor was much thicker than that of the Rusty Bronze! The battle axe in his hand once again rolled up a wave of blood and slashed at Linley!

Linley once again blocked this attack that seemed like an overwhelming force with the simplest of means!

"clang!"

The residual light remained motionless, but the blood curtain had been cut off in mid-air!

“Of course, it’s for the infected!” Linley said expressionlessly. “You can protect those infected knights and a small number of infected people, but what about the rest?”

"You hope to make those who are forced to kneel on the ground stand up straight and let the oppressed choose their own destiny, but even the original Brilliant Knight could not do this!"

"I won't do such a thing. Even if I have to do it, it will be done by the Brilliant Knight himself... All I want to do is to allow the infected to live more comfortably under Casimir's rules!"

Linley swung his sword, and the frosty sword energy attacked the Blood Knight from bottom to top layer by layer! No matter how agile the Blood Knight was, he could not avoid being hit by the extremely cold sword energy! Thick white frost covered the red armor in an instant, and the chilling cold air on it hindered the knight's movements.

“Tell me, Dikaiopolis!” The man called out the Blood Knight’s real name softly, “Are you willing to cooperate with us on this matter?” Then Linley kicked the Blood Knight back again, and the knight tapped the part covered with ice crystals and said with great nostalgia:

"It's been a long time since anyone called me by my name... It's not impossible to cooperate with you... But I hope you can prove that you are qualified to do this."

The blood flame surged around the knight's body again, and the frost receded while his momentum began to rise steadily: "You should know very well that I can't use the entire Red Lantern Knights to make this bet, even if this Knights Order was given to me by the spokesperson named Charne."

When Bai Jin heard the name, he frowned. "Charne? It's not surprising to hear this name coming from the Blood Knight... this haunting fellow."

"Oh, it sounds like Miss Platinum is very familiar with the spokesperson?" Li asked with a wry smile.

The little Pegasus snorted in annoyance and said, "Don't be so harsh on me... You should know that the spokesperson of the Business Federation has a very close relationship with our Wuzhou Alliance. Many of our commissions are issued by him."

"But even if you kill him, it will be useless. After all, he is just a spokesperson. Compared to this... you might as well pay more attention to the battle on the stage."

"Fighting? I can feel that neither the Blood Knight nor Mr. Drege has used their full strength... although this kind of strength is already a bit embarrassing for Li." Knight Zarak sighed in a low voice.

At the same time, the contest between the Blood Knight and Linley also came to an end:

At this moment, Linley once again used the power of ice shadow to create a scabbard, and then slowly put the residual light into the scabbard, while his posture was slightly tilted forward - this was the starting position of the sword-drawing technique. "Then do you think that the destruction of the No-Hero Alliance can be the proof you mentioned!"

079. Survival, only survival!

"Fake-Chi Xiao-draw your sword!"

Countless frost flowers like those frozen on glass suddenly appeared in the training ground. The Blood Knight, as the target, naturally knew that this was not something that would appear in winter, but real sword energy!

But Dikaiopolis also knew that he had no reason to retreat. It was not the behavior of a knight to retreat at this time!

Then the Blood Knight roared and stepped forward to strike hard! Blood rushed towards Linley like a rushing river!

But it was all in vain. The blood-based Originium technique was cut off by the ice crystals, and the hand holding the battle axe and the arm were frozen into an ice sculpture. Linley just slowly put the remaining light back into the scabbard.

"Ding~"

In an instant, all the ice crystals in the arena shattered into white debris, and the Blood Knight fell to the ground. But soon the Minoan Knight got up again, and from his voice, it could be heard that Linley’s last blow had not caused him too much damage, and only the outer armor was scratched:

"Uh...what beautiful swordplay...did you hold back?"

“You also said that this was a competition, but I think this battle is enough, isn’t it?” Linley said with an angry expression on his face, but his tone remained calm. “Have we reached an agreement?”

"Look at your expression and your words. It's really inconsistent." The Blood Knight sighed, "If you can deal with the No Helmet Alliance, then the Red Lamp Knights are willing to stand on your side, but please remember your words..."

"So that the infected people in Casimir can live better?"

Linley shook his head and turned away. “I understand. By the way, I spent a long time learning this technique. It was very tiring!”

"Is it over?"

Seeing Linley slowly walking down from the training ground, Bai Jin and Li immediately surrounded him, and the little Pegasus was the first to speak: “But why do you have that expression?”

"Because our Blood Knight has been under surveillance by the people of the Commerce Union, and it is impossible for the people of the Supervisory Association to come to him without attracting attention...so we fought a battle and chatted at the same time."

Linley patted the two girls on the shoulders and walked straight out of the Blood Knight’s room.

"But we have talked about everything we need to talk about. Shall we go, two lovely and beautiful ladies?"

"Of course." Li saluted once again, "Then come with me. At least those guys from the Business Federation outside won't do anything."

"After all, to them, the value of the entire Red Lantern Knights combined is not as great as that of the Blood Knight who won the knight competition championship." Bai Jin nodded in agreement.

It was not until the three of them entered the elevator that Bai Jin couldn't wait to ask, "What did you talk about with that guy?"

"Of course it's a matter of cooperation. After all, we have promised the Grand Knight that we will win this game according to the rules... Then after becoming a part of the Business Federation, we naturally need to train a knight group and sponsor a knight with great commercial value, right?"

"And you fell in love with the Blood Knight? And he agreed?"

“Of course it’s not that simple, but in a sense he did agree.” Linley rubbed his cheeks, and his expression, which had originally been as angry as a diamond, turned back into a smiling ‘Maitreya Buddha’.

"And you have to think about it, what kind of knight can better represent a company whose first goal is to treat the infected?"

"That's true. If we really want to talk about competitiveness, which knight group can compare with the Red Lantern Knights who won the last championship?"

Li laughed softly and said, "It seems that Mr. Dredge has already secured victory?"

“Who knows? Anyway, I didn’t lose anything.” Linley responded indifferently, while Bai Jin, who was standing beside him, said out of the blue:

"I thought you were going to let the Red Pine Knights take the stage~"

The man shook his head, and at the same time the elevator door opened again. His voice was stretched out in an instant: "In this day and age, there are no children or young people who are just starting out to face the storm. They need to grow up... One day they will face similar challenges, but definitely not now."

Just as the three were about to leave the Red Lantern Knights' base, the phone behind the Blood Knight rang. Without the slightest hesitation, the knight immediately walked over and answered the call. The voice of the spokesperson named Charne came out slowly:

"Dikaiopolis, the directors of the Federation have entrusted me to express my gratitude to you."

"Don't say such nonsense. I'm a rough man... What do you want to talk to me about?" The Blood Knight took a deep breath. It turned out that chatting with these guys who were only interested in profit was not as exciting as having a real fight with that guy.

The fight was over and the matter was settled. How could such a comfortable thing happen in the world?

"In view of your loyalty to the Federation, the next batch of mineral disease inhibitors will be delivered to your residence in a week... In addition, two directors asked me to ask you... Do you plan to participate in the Knights' Championship again?"

"If you can complete an incredible three consecutive championships like the Black Knight, I think everyone in Casimir will take the infected seriously, and the infected knights under your command will also..."

"There's no need to test me like this. If there's no need, I won't participate in the Cavaliers Special again."

Dikaiopolis frowned and was about to hang up the phone, but Charne's slightly frivolous tone stopped him again:

"Don't be so impatient, Blood Knight. What I just said was definitely not a test, but the true intention of some directors.... But since you don't have this intention, I can only say it's a pity... Finally, thank you for your willingness to cooperate with us. Goodbye."

“Goodbye.” The Blood Knight put down the phone and took off his helmet, revealing his dark and resolute face. If Lin Lei saw it, he would definitely think that this was a second-dimensional version of the Fire Dragon Lord.

"Don't let me down, stranger..." I haven't asked the man what his name is yet. I'll ask him next time I have a chance... If they can really do it, then I'd like to be part of them.

The Blood Knight just lay on the rarely used office chair and watched the sun setting...

After hanging up the phone, Charne was not as calm as the Blood Knight. His sanctimonious face suddenly became distorted and ferocious: "Who can tell me why there is an assassin from the No Helmet Alliance among the three people who visited the Blood Knight?"

"You should ask the Wuzhou Alliance about this matter... not us..." the spokesperson under his command said aggrievedly.

"What a bunch of good-for-nothings! But never mind, I'll go ask them myself."

080. Sorry, no comment!

"That Knight Zalak is Casimir's fourth-rank expedition knight. Although her rank is not high... her current master is the Grand Knight Commander." Roy tapped his legs, his voice revealing a casual and happy tone:

"As for her past... we only found out that the one who adopted this young lady was a long knight of the Maytree family... and that person was also a war knight."

"I know that the Knight of the Supervisory Council is difficult to deal with, but what about the man who fought with the Blood Knight? And the woman in the back, although I can't see clearly through the camera...but that person is a Platinum Lord, right? Why is she hanging out with the people of the Supervisory Council?"

Charne was already furious. How dare this Wuzhou League member who answered the phone talk to him like that? Didn't he know that the big money sponsor of your Wuzhou League was standing behind me?

"Well, our Platinum Queen is currently on paid leave. It's her freedom to be with whomever she wants. We can't control it for now."

"Can't manage it? Who among you is in charge? Let him come out!"

Charne was roaring like a raging wild dog on the rooftop, and Roy just put down his crossed legs at this time - mainly because they were a little sore from being crossed for a long time: "I'm the one in charge, you can call me Qingjin..."

"Qingjin, you Xuan..."

"The Black Iron Lord has already told us that we, the No Heroes Alliance, will not interfere in any actions related to the Platinum Lord. Even if she says tomorrow that she wants to return to the Knights' Competition and become an independent knight... we won't say anything."

"So please go back, Mr. Charney."

"Wait, can you give me the details of that man?"

Charne said this because he guessed that this man was probably someone the Wuzhou Alliance would not touch, so he chose to ask directly if he could provide some information... Since the dark side can't do anything, then he will just use money and power to crush him!

"Oh, this, of course... Let's just say that we have been investigating that man for a long time. Since the directors want it, we will naturally offer it to them... But..."

"only?"

Charney repeated it in a low voice, and at this moment a cold wind representing early spring swept over his body in an instant. Kuranta shivered subconsciously, and Roy's words were slowly transmitted through the phone:

"Be careful not to get into trouble, Spokesperson... This is out of my personal good intentions... If you want to save your life, then don't get involved too much in that man's affairs. His strength is definitely not what you see."

As Roy spoke, he recalled the battle that night. If the opponent had used the bow that killed Xuantie, would he have been killed? For a moment, the assassin couldn't help but shudder. Would that guy treat him the same way one day?

Almost in the next second, he had the idea of finding an opportunity to fake his death and leave the Wuzhou Alliance.

"Really...thank you for reminding me." Charne said as he hung up the phone. His face, which looked like a conspirator, showed a rare thoughtful expression. "Is there anything special about the man who wields the sword? I have to investigate."

Kuranta, who had been in the position of spokesperson for a long time, walked down the stairs while thinking, completely unaware of the extent to which his next actions would be hindered, but this obstacle would definitely not be today.

Bai Jin looked at Li, who was also sitting under a parasol and drinking milk tea, with a murderous look on his face: "We have already come out of the Red Lantern Knights' base, why are you still following us?" The assassin's eyebrows were raised. If looks could kill, then the female knight would definitely be riddled with holes.

You light bulb! My wonderful time together is gone!

Li shook her long pink hair, her wheat-colored skin sparkling in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the girl's brown eyes blinked silently: "But the Grand Knight Commander's order requires me to guarantee your safety, but this guarantee of safety does not say that it is only within the Red Lantern Knights~"

Hey, I'm going to be the light bulb today!

"So how long do you plan to follow us?"

"Hmm... let me think about it..." Li raised a finger, and his thoughtful look made Bai Jin feel like hitting someone. Is this something that requires thinking?

"The Grand Knight said that the time limit is until you two complete the commission and leave Casimir." Li whispered, "Before that, Li will do everything necessary for your personal protection."

"What do you mean so long! And what do you mean by personal bodyguard? Do you have to stay in our room even if he and I go back to sleep?" Bai Jin widened his eyes. Are you a walking light bulb?

Lin Lei, who was standing by, took a sip of the silk stocking milk tea and nodded seriously: “Then please give me your guidance, Miss Li.”

He stretched out his hand, and Bai Jin, who was standing beside him, took the spoon from the cup and hit the man on the head without hesitation: "Hey, shouldn't you say thank you for your guidance at this time?"

"Why not?"

Linley scratched his head. “With the presence of Miss Li, in a sense, many of the things we do can be covered with the cloak of the Supervisory Council. This can be regarded as another preferential treatment given to us by the Grand Knight Commander.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Li, and the female knight nodded with a smile, confirming Linley’s words.

"You can't have a personal bodyguard, and do you look like you need one?" The girl slapped the table, making such a loud noise that it startled the guests at the tables next to her. "And if we...if we do that kind of thing at night, does she have to watch from the side?"

"Don't worry, Li will not disturb the private lives of Miss Bai Jin and Mr. De Ruijie, and this time the Grand Knight Commander has approved a lot of funds for me." The female knight said as she put her hand into her breastplate and fumbled around. The action made the little Pegasus' eyelids twitch.

This is a move that only people with relatively large chests can do, and Platinum is naturally not one of them.

Then the girl came out with a bank card with a faint fragrance between her fingers: "Look!"

“I’m not going to see a ghost!” Bai Jin gritted his teeth in dissatisfaction, then looked at Lin Lei who was watching the show beside him and said, “Hey, are you really not going to say anything?”

"What? Are you asking me to poach your girlfriend?" The man scratched his nose and said, "I don't know when I can drink silk stocking milk tea with real silk stockings..."

"If Mr. Deruijie wants to drink it, Li can make it for you. Do you want black silk or white silk milk tea?"

"That's enough for you two!"

081. Lyudmila's Night Raid

How come two guys who have only known each other for less than a day give me such a similar feeling?

Bai Jin gritted her teeth, looking at the two 'plants' who were high-fiving each other, she wanted to eat them alive, but then she took a deep breath:

"Huh... Never mind. Does that mean you'll follow us wherever we go?"

"Of course." Li nodded, and his beautiful eyes rolled around as if he was thinking about what the Wuzhang League assassin in front of him was up to. "After all, I have to ensure your personal safety, hehe~"

"That's great, shall we go shopping later?"

Bai Jin narrowed her eyes and looked at Lin Lei who was sipping milk tea. The girl had an aura of "If you dare to refuse, I will break your dick".

This forced Linley to nod his head: “Of course I have no objection, but why do you ask Li this question?”
