After saying goodbye to Maria, Talina went to the store again, fulfilled the promise she made to Keobe, and then returned to the bar with her things.

It was already afternoon and the bar was about to close. Talina saw Keobe holding a broom outside the door.

At this moment, she was running around the store happily, and it was unclear whether she was cleaning or playing.

Talina glanced around casually and found that Rosemary had left as she expected.

"Ceobe!"

Standing outside the door, Talina deliberately made a noise with the bag in her hand and called out to Keobe who was running away.

Hearing the familiar voice, Keobe stopped and turned to see Talina standing outside the door, or more precisely, the snacks in Talina's hand.

Talina had never thought that people could run so fast. Ober was still in the store in the previous second, but the greedy Pelo appeared in front of her in the next second.

"What happened!"

Keobe's tail was wagging behind her and her face was full of excitement.

Dou Miao, who was standing behind the counter, covered his eyes when he saw this and simply adopted the attitude of "out of sight, out of mind."

"Did you complete today's task well?"

Picking up the bag and waving it in front of Ceobe, Talina couldn't help but chuckle at the other's eyes that were capturing her gaze in real time.

"Yes, yes! The mission was completed very well!"

Keobe nodded vigorously, her eyes full of desire.

But even so, she was still able to control her claws and did not try to snatch the things in Talina's hands.

"Then these are your rewards. Here, take them."

After teasing her for a while, Talina simply handed the item over.

Looking at the big bag of snacks of various colors in her hand, Ceobe's eyes almost popped out, and she couldn't wait to start eating in front of Talina.

"Thank you!"

The tail was wagging faster and faster, and Keobe's heart was already flying away.

There are so many things, if she eats them sparingly, it will be enough for her to eat...well...it will be enough for her to eat for a long time anyway!

"I'll have to ask you for help in the future. That child is a bit withdrawn. If it were you, I believe you could do it."

Putting her hands behind her back and looking at Ceobe's cute appearance, Talina also gained some confidence in Rosemary's matter.

With such a cheerful friend by her side, Rosemary might even feel better.

"Uh-huh!"

Ceobe could no longer hear what Talina was saying. Now she only knew that the person in front of her was a good person, a very good person!

"Okay, then you go ahead and do your work. I'm leaving first."

Seeing that it was getting late, Talina didn't plan to stay here any longer, even though Kal'tsit still had her dormitory.

After leaving Rhodes Island, Talina walked alone on the street, passing through the crowd and heading home.

The Great Knight Territory at night was no different from the daytime. The excited people were still immersed in the daytime games and began to analyze how to place their bets tomorrow.

Paraphernalia related to competitive knights can be seen everywhere on the streets, and now, this has unintentionally become the foundation of Casimir's current life.

With the influx of funds from foreign tourists, they have gradually become unable to leave and have slowly begun to forget what a knight is.

The interweaving of money and power creates this magnificent scene.

Huge and unreal.

Thinking of this, Talinna took out her cell phone, opened the address book, found that name, and then dialed it without hesitation.

The phone rang briefly before being connected, and Talina put the phone to her ear.

"It's me... I need your help with something."

"It's okay, I'll take care of it. Just think of it as a trip. I've been tired all my life, so I should give myself a break, right?"

"Hmm...Okay, that's it. I'll arrange for someone to pick you up..."

The call was short, but the deal was done. Feeling confident, Talina felt a lot more relaxed and walked towards home humming.

At the border of Casimir.

The wilderness of Zwonek.

A silver torrent is running above.

They rode astride their large camels and headed towards Kavaleriaki at full speed.

The leader galloped ahead, the feathers on his helmet blown low by the night wind...

Volume 7: Chapter 29: Contradiction

In the next few days, Talina was taken by Senomi to participate in her own competitions one after another.

It's strange to say, this kind of thing should have been arranged by a spokesperson like Markowitz, but Senomi took the job and he himself got involved with Rhodes Island.

He took Rhodes Island to investigate Plot Zero and offered advice. His gentle attitude towards the infected made Talina a little unbelievable that he came from a place like the Commercial Federation.

Talina has not seen the greed in the other party yet, and based on what she has discovered, it is not enough to "convict" the other party.

But it didn't matter that Markowitz didn't come, Talina was happy about it. If she really had to stay with the people from the Chamber of Commerce all day, she would go crazy.

The competition went smoothly. Although the next few opponents were also very strong, none of them was a drug addict like Carroll.

Perhaps the audience also discovered this reason, which made the Chamber of Commerce a little cautious and had to show its real strength, but they were all resolved one by one by Talina.

The same goes for Margaret. Having already won a championship, she fought with ease. No match lasted more than ten minutes, which kept the audience excited.

In such a busy atmosphere, most of the time had passed quietly, and no one noticed that something that shouldn't have appeared had happened in Cavalleria Guido.

Except for one outsider.

Standing on the unfinished floor, the Doctor and Markowitz stood side by side, looking at the people below.

"Come on! Everyone, work harder!"

At a construction site in the distance, a group of shirtless men were working under the scorching sun, laying bricks and inserting steel, or spreading cement mortar. Although they were busy, smiles could be seen on their faces.

The sorrows of the past are gone, replaced by the joy of finding a way out.

They had dark and eye-catching "decorations" on their bodies, which made the supervisors next to them frown and actively move away.

They were infected people wandering around Casimir, living a life of hunger all day long. If they were lucky, they could find some leftovers in the garbage dump, but if they were unlucky, they could only fend for themselves in the wilderness.

Originium worms, crack beasts, rock horn beasts, these are their food, they don't care at all whether eating these things will make their infection worse.

One is to die later, the other is to starve to death now, how to choose?

But hunting also requires skills and luck, and also requires taking the risk of injury. They are not professional hunters and do not have weapons and time.

Hunting is a risk of life!

Fortunately, their luck turned and a group of people found them, gave them food and provided them with jobs, although they were just some menial jobs.

But they were satisfied.

Now, they have been in Casimir for more than three years. They have contributed a lot to the construction of the new plot and have gradually integrated into this new "home".

Although others don't like them very much and have restricted their range of activities, this is all as it should be. They are infected and a destabilizing factor.

A full meal is enough.

"Boss! Today's work is done."

After taking off the simple backpack made of a stool from his back, the leading man Lupo walked up to the supervisor in the distance with a smile on his face.

He had two scars on his face, and his smile looked extremely ferocious.

Giving the man a look of disgust, the supervisor quickly took two steps back and waved his hands in front of himself, as if he had seen something disgusting.

"You have no manners at all! Are you looking for death?!"

His right hand was placed on the stick at his waist, and the supervisor's face was full of anger.

The sticks are distributed uniformly because there have been frequent incidents of infected people causing trouble recently, so the superiors "thoughtfully" equipped them with insurance.

"Hey, it's my fault, my fault, Boss, don't be angry."

Facing the insults (swearing, cursing) from the person in front of him, there was no trace of dissatisfaction on Po Ming's face. Instead, he put on a bright smile and tried his best to please the person in front of him.

The reason is simple. The wages of all of them depend on this guy in front of them. It is a matter of livelihood, and no one would bother themselves with this.

Just curse me, as long as you pay me, you can curse me as much as you want, dignity?

Sorry, this thing is exclusive to rich people, they don’t have this right.

He is no longer in the age of passion and has a family to support. It's no big deal to just lower your head.

"Now that you're done, go back! Why are you talking so much nonsense? It's not your first day at work, why are you dawdling?"

Speaking impatiently, the supervisor packed up his things and prepared to leave.

He doesn't live with these untouchables, no one will live with them except the infected.

"Boss! Wait a minute..."

The overseer had barely started to move when Rupert called out to him.

"What are you doing? You have something to say! You have something to fart!"

Turning around impatiently, the supervisor looked at the smiling man in front of him, and an unnatural look flashed across his face.

"Um...would you mind paying us our wages? It's been almost three months, and we're barely making ends meet..."

The Rupert man bent his back, looked at the supervisor in a flattering manner, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

"Oh...this matter..."

As soon as Rupert brought up the topic of wages, the supervisor's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees.

"As you all know, the recent situation has seen several companies join in, and the competition is fierce. So, I can't allocate funds for the time being. Just wait a little longer, and I'll definitely get it next month! Definitely!"

The supervisor smiled, a rare sight, patted Rupert's shoulder, and dodged a glance, not daring to look at the faces of the people behind him.

He had long ago used the wages he received from above to gamble. How could he possibly have the money to pay these low-class people when he kept losing in gambling?

This is something they do often, and he is not the only one who does this.

Because the target is an infected person, this cannot even be considered as embezzlement of public funds. According to their internal statement, it is just a simple loan.

"Sir, our brothers are already struggling to make ends meet. If that doesn't work, could you please give us a month's supply first, so we can buy some food to fill our stomachs, and then we can give out the rest later. Is that okay with you?"

The man begged humbly, not believing the guy's nonsense at all.

They said the same thing last month, and even the month before that! It's been delayed for three months. If it goes on any longer, they'll starve to death!

The family saved all their money to buy him food, so that he would have enough energy to work. He was the only breadwinner and the only one who could earn money...

"Next month, next month..."

After saying something perfunctory, the supervisor turned around and left.

"Wait! My lord! Wait!"

The man who was bending over to pray saw that the supervisor was about to leave, so he hurried forward and took the supervisor's hand.

The next moment, the stick on the supervisor's waist appeared in the man's face!

boom!

The sound of swinging was heard, and the Lupo man fell to his knees in embarrassment, with blood slowly flowing from the corner of his lips.

There was some commotion among the crowd behind him. Several young people wanted to rush forward, but were held back by their companions.

"Trash is trash. Even after living here for so long, you're still trash who doesn't know etiquette!"

He wiped his wrist in disgust and inspected himself to see if he was injured.

"Sir... wages..."

Even after being hit with a stick, the Rupert man showed no sign of anger and continued to ask for his wages.

"Tsk... take it."

Frowning at Rupert in front of him, the overseer took out a handful of change from his pocket and threw it in front of the man.

"The extra money will be used as your medical expenses. Take the money and get out of here! Don't let me see you again."
