"What do you mean?"
Looking at the ink on the entry form that had not yet dried, Lupo's face suddenly darkened.
Is this... to fool yourself? ! !
There's not even a picture of it!!!
As if he had noticed the dissatisfaction of the Rupert man, or perhaps realized that his preparations were somewhat insulting, he turned to look at the subordinates behind him.
The knight in armor took out a photo from his arms and handed it to his captain.
After taking the photo, the leading knight picked up the expensive red wine next to it, put his finger in it in front of the three people, dipped some of the wine, and smeared it on the back of the photo.
"The Grand Knight Commander asked me to bring you a message..."
A deep voice came from under the helmet, and the crooked photo was "pasted" on the entry form and displayed in front of them.
"This is...an explanation to you."
After saying that, the knight turned around and walked away, exposing his back to them without any intention of hiding it.
The combination of an ancient and modern tone and an arrogant attitude makes people even more angry.
The man's chest was heaving violently, and the fragments he was holding in his hands had already turned into powder.
Looking at the "explanation" placed in front of him, Rupert's eyes turned bloodshot, his hands clenched and unclenched, and finally he calmed down completely.
The meaning attached to that light piece of paper made him dare not act rashly. It was just a piece of paper, but it made him feel suffocated.
As heavy as a thousand pounds!
Volume 7: Chapter 5: Reminiscing
"The patient is in good condition, just exhausted from overwork. She'll be fine after some rest. The fracture in her arm has been treated. I recommend she avoid lifting heavy objects for the next seven days."
Outside the ward, the doctor was holding Maria's examination report and talking to Talina, talking about the precautions after discharge.
Talina kept nodding, taking the doctor's words to heart.
After leaving the competition venue, Talina took the unconscious Maria straight to the hospital.
The other party's injuries need proper treatment. This is the most important thing at the moment. As for the rest, they can be put off until later.
I believe that other people will not say anything about this matter.
"Ms. Talina is amazing..."
Next to her, Rafiela raised her hands to her chest and looked at Talina with shining eyes, her eyes full of longing.
She had been knocked down by Talina in just a few moves in Dosoles before, and she had not seen her father being defeated, so her memory of Talina still remained at the time of the auditions.
That's just a little bit better than her.
But the scene on the field just now refreshed her cognition and gave her a deeper understanding of Talina.
Let me ask, under the circumstances at that time, how many people could rush in without hesitation?
"It's...it's okay..."
Scratching the hair beside her ear, Talina showed a little shyness in the face of Rafiela's straightforward praise.
She now understood the mentality of those jousting knights who were chasing after fame and fortune. Even if there was no money to be gained, they could still get a great sense of satisfaction from being praised by others!
With a bunch of suitors following behind him, who wouldn’t be confused?
"Hehe~ I'm really awesome, no need to be modest~"
Rafiela tilted her head and looked at Talina with a smile.
"By the way, I've been wanting to ask this for a while now. Could this person inside be someone very important to Miss Talina?"
Rafiela asked curiously, turning her head to look at Maria who was cooperating with the doctor in the treatment room.
From the moment she discovered Talina had disappeared to the moment she reappeared on the field, it was only a few seconds. To be able to save someone at such a speed...
I'm really a little envious~
"Well, friends who grew up together, like... you and Ernesto."
After finding a random metaphor that Rafiela could understand, Talina said no more.
She also needs to talk to Rhodes Island, and by the way...
She also had to inform Maria's family.
Talina opened the address book on her phone and found the contact information of her family. She paused her finger on Mainna's profile picture and then skipped it to find Zofia's.
Mainna always prevents them from participating in such competitions. Maria will probably not be much better this time, so it would be better to call Sofia over.
After all, she was the one who took care of Maria and raised her, so she should be of some use.
“Maria?!!”
Before Talina could dial the number, a familiar voice came from the end of the hospital corridor.
Although the steps were steady, the rapid breathing still revealed Sofia's panicked heart. She trotted over from the corner. After a long separation, Sofia saw the lovely person she had been thinking about day and night again.
"That saves time. Maria is inside. We can talk about old times later."
Tilting her head to the outside, Talina made way so that Zofia could see Maria inside.
Seeing that her relatives were fine, Sofia was obviously relieved and wanted to chat with Talina, but she also knew that now was not a good time to reminisce, so she nodded and walked straight in.
"Who is this..."
The impetuous Zofia left a great impression on Rafiela who was standing beside her. Coupled with her golden hair, it only took a little imagination to figure out her identity.
"Maria's aunt... um, you'd better call her sister. She's not much older than us."
After briefly introducing the elder to Rafiela, Talina recalled his somewhat odd temper and...
An ambiguous attitude towards oneself.
Should I leave now?
If you get caught, it will be difficult to escape...
With this in mind, Talina called Rafiela, who was dazed and sucking her fingers, and prepared to leave, but...
It's always a step too late.
"Let's go together. We haven't seen each other for so long, so let's just catch up. I also want to thank you for saving this guy."
Almost as Talina took her first step, Sofia came out of the ward with Maria and called out to Talina who was about to leave.
"Then... I'll have to trouble Sister Zofia..."
Sighing where Sofia couldn't see, Talina had no choice but to agree to the other party's request to go with her.
"Hehe~"
Maria, with her hand suspended by a bandage around her neck, smiled.
Aunt Zofia's words still work as hard as ever for the three of them. No matter how old they get, they are still the same child in Zofia's eyes.
The four of them walked out of the hospital, came to the underground parking lot, and followed Sofia into a car.
As a competitive knight who once made it to the top 16, even without taking on advertising and endorsements, the prize money from the competition alone is enough for Sofia to live a wealthy life.
It's just a small amount of money to buy a car.
"When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
After starting the car, Zofia glanced at Talina sitting in the back through the rearview mirror.
Hmm...I seem to have lost some weight and don't look as cute as before.
"I just came back today and brought a friend to take a look. I happened to run into him."
Talina, not knowing that Sofia was "arranging" her at the moment, told Sofia her entire itinerary.
"You mean...you're working outside?"
When Zofia heard that Talina had returned with a medical organization called Rhodes Island, she immediately realized that she was no longer the same little girl.
Ugh...time flies by so fast...
"Um...shouldn't the focus be on my sister?"
Maria, who was sitting in the passenger seat, weakly raised her still intact hand to remind Sofia of the key point.
"Huh?! Margaret is back?!"
squeak! ! !
The brakes were slammed on suddenly, and the car that had just started to move was immediately stalled on the spot by Zofia's violent behavior.
"Hiss! Aunt...sister, why don't you give me a heads up in advance..."
Covering her hand that was injured again, Maria's little face was full of grievance.
She had just left the hospital when she suffered a second injury. She even felt that it would be safer to walk back than to take Sofia's car.
Talina and Rafiela behind were not in much better condition. Talina was fine as she had prepared in advance, so she was not seriously injured. But Rafiela, who was lying on the edge of the bed looking at the scenery, was hit by a grand slam.
The little head was buzzing from banging against the wall.
"Why? Didn't Margaret tell you?"
Looking at Zofia's reaction, Talina realized that the other party probably didn't know the news.
Good man, are you keeping it a secret so tightly?
"The last time I spoke to her was a few years ago, right after I sent her out of Casimir."
After restarting the car, Sofia drove towards the old house of the Lin Guang family.
"After she won the championship, she was labeled an infected person, but this is just an excuse, just like the infected can now participate in the competition."
Sofia, who had a deep understanding of these businessmen in the Chamber of Commerce, said this with disdain.
Lin Guang was expelled simply because they saw a threat in this Pegasus, and it had nothing to do with whether Margaret was infected or not.
If Margaret can bring them huge benefits, then even if Margaret is an infected person with an infection level of 80% and is about to explode, they can package her perfectly.
It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profit.
They were not only afraid of the impact that Margaret would bring, but also because they saw the shadow of the Black Knight in Margaret.
They are worried that the Knight of Glory will become the next Black Knight!
Once the championship position is undisputed, the so-called competition becomes a formality.
Sponsorship, advertising, peripherals, and business associations that rely on these things for their development will suffer a major blow!
Besides, it would be fine if Margaret accepted the sponsorship and integrated into the group like the Black Knight. At most, they would have to bow down to them for a few years.
Make money, don't shiver.
The key point is that Margaret never accepted any sponsorship at all. She won the championship with just one hammer.
This won't work.
Volume 7: Chapter 6: Quarrel
They are more afraid of not making money than being suppressed.
This is what Talina learned during her time living in the Great Knight Territory.
To describe these guys as mercenary is a bit of an understatement.
They chatted casually along the way, and soon they arrived at the old house of the Lin Guang family.
Talina, who wanted to find an excuse to leave, finally couldn't resist Zofia's "kind invitation" and had to bring Rafiela to stay for a while.
The gate of the yard is so rotten that it no longer serves its intended purpose. It is more like a decoration.
"I'm sorry, life has been a bit difficult these past few years..."
Scratching her head and smiling embarrassedly, Maria, as the host, walked in first.
"Ever since my sister passed away, my uncle has been busy with work, so he hasn't really taken care of the family matters..."
In the courtyard, the place where the garden used to be is now withered, with some wood and iron blocks piled up, temporarily becoming Maria's small warehouse.
In a sense, Mainna is actually quite open-minded. As long as she doesn't get involved in knight competitions, she doesn't care about anything else. Even if Maria likes to be a blacksmith, Mainna remains silent.
To those who know him, this is no different from support.
