There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

"Hey! Is this the surrounding area?"

Standing in front of the counter, Lafiela looked at the dazzling array of goods inside, and her eyes almost lit up with stars.

Before coming to Casimir, she thought it was similar to Dosores, but after actually seeing it, she realized that the two were completely different.

The heritage of a country is totally incomparable to that of a tourist city like Dos Soares. Here, La Fiera saw many new things.

The billboards all over the streets are filled with posters of competitive knight contestants. The strong atmosphere makes this ancient country of knights show its charm.

“Okay...the stuff here is expensive and the quality is not that great..."

After dragging Rafiela out of the store, Talina whispered to her.

Although she didn't want to destroy her hometown, Talina didn't want to see her friends being deceived.

These shops outside can only fool tourists from other places, and it is still difficult to cheat her as a local.

"Eh? But it looks really nice..."

Rafiela looked at the little toy that was getting farther and farther away from her, feeling reluctant, but due to Talina's professional opinion, she could only look away.

"When I have time, I'll take you to the venue to buy good stuff. The stuff there is all genuine."

Patting Rafiela's head, Talina comforted the little Liberi.

"Hmm... then can you take me to see the knight competition? I could only watch it on TV before..."

Raising her hands to her chest, Rafiela pointed her index fingers at each other and looked at Talina expectantly.

"I..."

She subconsciously wanted to say no, but Rafiela's pitiful expression made it impossible for Talina to say no.

Looking at the watch on her hand and confirming that there was enough time, Talina nodded in the expectant gaze of Rafiela.

"Uh! Thank you!"

Giving a big hug, Rafiela hung her whole body on Talina.

After the two reached an agreement, Talina brought Rafiela to the knight competition venue.

When passing by the outside of the field, Talina unconsciously glanced at a staircase, and then looked away.

After successfully buying two front-row tickets from a scalper, Talina took Rafiela into the auditorium with ease.

The thunderous cheers came, leaving Rafiela, who had never seen such a scene, stunned.

Colorful colors flashed in the audience seats, and the cheering crowd made La Fiela experience for the first time what real excitement was like.

"Huh? Wasn't it two against two? Why is it two against one?"

On the other hand, Talina, who was used to this kind of scene, did not indulge in it, but instead discovered a strange place.

When they bought the tickets, the scalper told them that this was a 2-on-2 match and would be more exciting than other matches. This made Talina make up her mind.

But now she only saw three people on the stage...

Could it be that one contestant has already been eliminated?

"Wu! The Knight of Decay and the Knight of Corruption are truly twin brothers! Their clever coordination has forced their opponent into a desperate situation!"

Above the stadium, a commentator in a flying vehicle was flying around the field, stirring the emotions of the audience with his exquisite eloquence.

In the competition field, the golden knight holding a sword and shield was in danger with the cooperation of two Sarkaz knights. His petite body kept dodging, and he was caught in a dilemma, looking very embarrassed.

Looking at the petite figure, Talina always felt that she looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who she was for a moment.

Casimir...

blond...

Just as Talina was thinking, the commentator surrounding the field said a name that she was very familiar with.

"Is this the limit for our rookie?! Is he going to have to leave with regret, carrying the family's glory with him?!"

"As a descendant of the Golden Pegasus, Miss Maria has brought us countless wonderful battles! Let us look forward to her bringing us miracles again!!!"

The passionate voice spread throughout the stadium through the loudspeaker, giving Rafiela goosebumps with excitement.

"Ms. Talina, you said..."

She was so happy that she wanted to share her joy with those around her, but when she turned around, she found that Talina had disappeared from her side.

At the same time, there was another commotion in the already lively audience seats.

"Is this... Miss Maria's late teammate?!!!"

Volume 7: Chapter 3: Never Changed

The arm holding the shield hurts, as if the bone is broken...

The same goes for my sword hand; it hurts like hell, even more than when I first forged it...

Maria lifted her almost exhausted body and rolled on the ground, avoiding the attack of the enemy in front of her.

One-on-two...

This was an unfair match, but she had no choice. Even though she knew it was a match against her, she had to stand on the field.

Because she has no way out.

Without a long-term cavalry, it means that the family has no successor, and all the glory can be reasonably taken away.

The despicable ones have already turned their spearheads against the increasingly desolate Lin Guang, trying to strip away their past glory and trample it under their feet.

And Mainna's indifference made them even more aggressive.

A few years ago, Zofia, a member of a branch family, tried to seize the glory and continue the Linguang family's legacy. Unfortunately, she met an opponent who targeted her and could only suffer in vain.

Now, she encountered the same difficulties that Zofia had once told her about, the deliberate revenge of a group of dirty people.

A pair of Sarkaz infected people who were deliberately raised by the Business Federation became her opponents.

The teammate that Zofia was looking for her, the Farfang Knight, was attacked on the way here. She was caught up in the attack and had no choice but to withdraw. So, she could only face these two people who were in tune with her alone.

The combination of the sledgehammer and the bow and arrow perfectly suppressed Maria. The Corrupted Knight's sledgehammer just restrained her sword and shield, forcing her to face the enemy head-on again and again.

The Withering Knight's bow and arrow perfectly blocked her evasive route, forcing her to dodge in a panic.

Her strength was different from the two people in front of her. She should have lost the game long ago, but for some reason, she was unable to leave.

It was as if... he was playing a trick on her.

Yes! It's just a joke!

It was like a cat and mouse game, and since the outcome of victory was already determined, they had plenty of time and evil spirits to play with her.

Because she is Lin Guang, this reason alone is enough.

"Drink!!!"

Maria raised the shield in her left hand with all her might and lifted it above her head to block the Corrupted Knight's hammer.

Its legs had lost feeling, but it still insisted on fighting. Its arms made cracking sounds, but it still raised them in front of it.

Even if you have to leave, at least you can do it in a decent manner instead of being thrown off the stage like a stray dog!!!

His right hand, which had long lost its strength, swung the sword and hit the Corrupted Knight's hammer weakly, creating a small spark.

An arrow shot from a distance, causing Maria's arm to make a sound again.

The vision in front of her eyes gradually became blurred, and Maria was fighting almost on instinct.

Block, attack, block, attack...

Maria repeated over and over again the methods of fighting the enemy that Sophia taught her, and the cheers of the audience outside the stadium rang in her ears. The inspiring shouts made Maria a little irritated.

So noisy...

Shaking her head, the sound of whistling wind came from in front of her again. Maria raised her shield to block as before, and then swung her sword.

Eh?

The sword missed and there was no pressure from the shield, which briefly sobered Maria, who was almost paralyzed.

Are they...preparing to kill themselves?

In a trance, Maria could hear the cheers outside the stadium becoming more and more enthusiastic, as if they had seen some surprising scene.

Is it some exciting combo skill?

A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Even at this desperate moment, Maria still maintained an optimistic attitude.

A stronger wind than before blew across her shield, passed by her ears, and blew up her sweat-soaked golden hair.

Scorching flames ignited from her side and surrounded her.

In a trance, Maria heard a familiar voice.

It seems like the sound of childhood memories...

But isn't she on the other side of Terra now?

Could it be that I was hallucinating?

Maria put down the shield and wanted to see the scene clearly, but suddenly found a familiar face.

Maria's pupils suddenly widened, and she turned her head to look at the surrounding environment, then looked at the passionate audience, rubbed her eyes, and made sure she was not dreaming.

"Why...are you here?"

Maria spoke with difficulty, her lips pressed together.

She had imagined countless times where she and Talina would meet again, but never once had she thought of a place like this.

"No... No! It's dangerous here! Stand behind me quickly!!!"

Maria's face suddenly became nervous. Realizing that this was not a place for reminiscing, she quickly put Talina behind her.

Just like before.

Protecting the weak is also part of the Linguang family's motto.

That's how the Cavaliers should be.

But she forgot why Talina could appear here safely, and why Corruption and Decay were stagnant.

"...Don't worry, I'm here."

A slender hand rested on Maria's shoulder, and a soft white light penetrated into the scarred body, healing the pain left by the battle.

Talina soothed Maria's pain with the purest healing power, sweeping away her physical fatigue.

Strength surged back into her limbs, and Maria clenched her sword-holding hand several times.

"I'm not the person who needed your protection anymore..."

Gentle words rang in her ears, and a white hand passed through Maria's shoulder and pointed at the flames.

"They don't dare come because they are afraid of us. They don't have the courage, Maria. They are not as brave as you."

Talina stepped out from Maria's protection and stood shoulder to shoulder with her, the energy core in her chest flashing with dazzling light.

Under her feet, the ground gradually began to crack, spreading outward with her as the center, and golden-red light surged in the cracks.

That was Draco's flame.

A fire powerful enough to melt the earth.

"Now, I am your companion, and we can defeat them together."

Flames surged in the ground, lifting up the land, and small pieces of magma erupted from time to time.

Unlike the healing flame of Ravshini, this is a flame furious enough to destroy everything, the blade that Talulah once used against Ursus.

Now, that flame has reappeared in Casimir, being used by Talina to deal with these dirty tricks.

There is no difference between the two.

"I..."

Maria felt mixed emotions as she watched her former playmate now standing side by side with her.

It turns out...she's not the only one growing up.

Now that Talina has become so strong, does that mean she no longer needs my protection?

"Shh~ If you want to have a good chat with me, then please win this game~ If you win, I can grant you a request~"
