Angel Son of Tomorrow's Ark

It is the city center of the Grand Knightland, which can be called the most critical heart of the entire Casimir, the Grand Knightland Central Museum.

This is also the location of the exhibition hall of the championship wall of competitive knights. During the day, tourists flock in an endless stream without stopping.

But this kind of tourist attraction will still be closed at night.

Luo Zhen followed the instructions and quietly entered through the open back door without attracting any attention.

It was rare for him to go out in secret this time, and he reported to the paparazzi all the loyal red wine, which can be said to be a great loss.

In the quiet and frighteningly large museum, only a few lights were still on, attracting Luo Zhen to go over.

In front of the classic championship wall, Luo Zhen saw the lady of the Grand Knight Commander who was still tall and straight despite her advanced age.

Luo Zhen deliberately let out a little footsteps and walked ten steps away from her:

"Thank you for agreeing to my unreasonable request, Ms. Russell. I really didn't expect that you would actually agree to see me right away."

Russell: "It's okay. I'm also in a hurry and want to chat with young people."

The Grand Knight Commander turned around, her bright blue eyes still had a dazzling brilliance no less than that of a young man.

Luo Zhen was not in a hurry to say what was the matter with him, nor was the Grand Knight Commander in a hurry to ask.

She just took a leisurely step, and her tough military boots stepped on the marble floor, making a clanging sound:

"The previous champions of competitive knights, the orbs of glory of Casimir. Holy Light Knight, have you visited here since you came to Casimir?"

Luo Zhen shrugged: "I came here once during the day, and I came with my female companion. But there were too many people in line, and my female companion also pulled me to go to all the ice cream shops led by the Overlord Knight, so I just give up."

Is ice cream more important than Casimir's Knights Wall of Champions... Even the Grand Knight Commander is a little stunned.

But she quickly reacted and laughed heartily:

"It's not just the Holy Light Knight, you are very interesting, the woman you fancy is also really interesting. Is this the gene of the Linguang family... But you should be right if you didn't come to see it."

With that said, the Grand Knight Commander walked in front of an empty painting.

After three consecutive pictures of the same female champion with ram horns in black, and before a burly male champion with bull horns in blood-colored armor, there was an obviously vacant place for a painting, which seemed a bit abrupt.

Luo Zhen could guess with his knees: this is the position of Yao Knight Linguang.

After being expelled from Casimir, her championship qualifications were also deprived, and the portrait of the champion will naturally be removed.

But this will only increase her legendary level, so six years later, people in Casimir are still talking about her meteor-like legendary record.

Luo Zhen also understood what the Grand Knight Commander meant, so he just shook his head calmly:

"It doesn't matter if you can't see Linguang's portrait. She and I are colleagues, and I used to see her every day. Seeing a real person is much more interesting than looking at a painting."

"...Really. Margaret is still healthy, so that's better than anything else."

The Grand Knight Commander didn't delve into the meaning of Luo Zhen's words, only because he heard that Margaret was still working hard, so he felt relieved from the bottom of his heart.

If you were someone else, you might think it was a deliberate performance.

But even if Luo Zhen is now in the state of the Kuranta stallion, it doesn't mean that he has forgotten Sakota's originality.

No one can lie in front of an angel, let alone him, the Son.

Therefore, Luo Zhen could understand that the great knight leader's concern for Linguang's family was sincere, and his love for Margaret was also sincere.

So he was even more puzzled, why Margaret was expelled at that time.

With this small question, Luo Zhen talked about the business:

"Ms. Russell, Maria came to join me just now. You should be aware of the current predicament of Linguang's family, right?"

"Yes, I know."

The Grand Knight Commander nodded frankly:

"Lingguang. Just mentioning this name can become the banner of the Casimir knight class. It can almost be said to be a belief. If old Cyril hadn't been bedridden for a long time at that time, he should have taken the position of Grand Knight Commander." Sit down. But no matter what the position is, Linguang is the object of admiration for the knights, a lighthouse-like existence. This naturally makes people in the Chamber of Commerce hate it to the bone, wishing to erase all traces of its existence as soon as possible."

Luo Zhen: "That's why you don't meddle in their troubles? Because it will cause conflict with the businessman?"

Luo Zhen asked the question very bluntly, in order to pry into the sincerity of the great knight commander.

Because there is no long cavalry, the Linguang family's title of nobility should be deprived... This statement is reasonable, but it can also be said to be trivial.

If Linguang's family really has a strong background, this little matter can be explained in minutes.

But the fact is exactly the opposite. It is precisely because Linguang's family is so famous that it has become a thorn in the side of the Federation.

This is not the Linguang family's own problem.

It just means that the entire knight class is almost out of the eyes of the merchants, and they can be easily bullied.

Luo Zhen can help Maria, no matter whether it is foreign affairs or internal affairs.

But he didn't intend to be Casimir's regent. If the entire knight class was going to collapse, then he would definitely not be too idle to intervene.

The Grand Knight Commander was not angry at Luo Zhen's straightforward question.

She just took a deep breath helplessly, and then slowly exhaled:

"We're not standing by, we're just powerless."

"Look at this bustling city, outstanding young knight. It is so prosperous and energetic, and the population is several times that of our time. The people have used the latest portable terminals, and they can enjoy it wherever they go. Air conditioning and beverages. Anyone working hard in a big corporation can afford to rent an apartment, wear a well-fitting suit, and even have a good meal now and then."

"These things are unimaginable in the era when knights and nobles still collected land rent and land taxes from the people. Even now, the equipment of those knights and nobles still needs the taxation of merchants to maintain."

The old man said some dejected words, as if admitting his failure.

But there was no trace of humiliation on her expression, she just shook her head calmly:

"It is the progress chosen by the times and the people, which swept the backward knight class into the dust of history. Just like Casimir's textbook, it will teach children the merits of the knights to overthrow the rule of the gods and people from an early age. In a few generations The children will probably begin to learn from the subordinates to overthrow the knights and usher in an era where they can freely choose their jobs."

Luo Zhen: "It's unexpected that the Grand Knight Commander's thoughts are so negative. So you just admit defeat, do you think the knight has completely lost to the merchant?"

The great knight commander shook his head again:

"It's not the knight who loses to the merchant, it's the old man who loses to the young."

"No matter how positive chivalry is, it is not something we old people are qualified to say. Old people will never be able to truly understand young people. This must be done by young people, so that what should be inherited, with new The attitude of the times plays a role."

"Young Roja, you asked just now, am I afraid of the Federation, so I stood by and watched what happened to Linguang's family, right? My answer is no, Linguang has not been reduced to the point where I need to protect them. Their family names may not be What can be avoided will be lost, but as long as Manna is there, the lives of the children will not be in danger. But how to survive in the new era and with what attitude, this is something they have to think about themselves."

So that's the case... Luo Zhen understood it tentatively.

Unlike the more acute contradictions he imagined, the Prison Court...or at least the enlightened faction headed by the Grand Knight Commander, clearly recognizes the changes of the times.

No matter how the situation changes, even if everyone in the Merchant Federation is killed, the era of knights will not come back.

Once people have eaten cakes and drank sugar water, it is absolutely impossible to return to the solidified class life of the past, where there is no next meal, and the end of life can be seen at a glance.

No matter how many advantages knights have and how many disadvantages merchants have, the torrent of the times is irreversible.

What people living in the present should do is to consider how to inherit the excellent spirit of the predecessors, and still cherish these virtues in the new era, so as to make the future better.

That's why the Grand Knight Commander didn't do anything, even if the Linguang family were to be deprived of their family name, that was part of the historical process.

Sooner or later, the aura of all knight families will disappear and become a simple surname.

Linguang is just one of them... Or, if you think Linguang's name is just a family name, then you don't really understand the meaning of this name.

Luo Zhen can also understand this kind of enlightenment-like thinking.

But although I can understand it, Luo Zhen didn't intend to live a Buddhist life like the Grand Knight Commander:

"Perhaps the changes of the times will not change. But Grand Master, some young people are moved by your deeds and want to follow your back and continue to move forward. Isn't this a wrong thing to be beaten?"

"If the old man is not even willing to be a role model, and even breaks the dream of adoring his own children, it is a bit too much.... For some people, if the dream is directly awakened, then But there is no other way to live."

Luo Zhen who said this couldn't help but feel a little painful, as if every word hit him.

But he quickly exhaled and switched his gloomy mood.

In any case, he benefited a lot from this conversation with the Grand Knight Commander.

It has to be said that it is a kind of luck that Casimir's Grand Knight Commander is such an enlightened person.

And most importantly, although she accepted the changes of the times calmly, she did not let others bully her completely.

The Supervisory Court has been checking and balancing with the Chamber of Commerce until today, and it has always held the most important military power. This is the best proof.

Once the businessmen are allowed to grow wildly, they will soon eat up the country and the people, and there will be no future.

There must be a degree in everything, and there must be something to form confrontation and supervision, so as not to be swallowed by the excessive torrent of the times.

Without Ursus, the eye-catching foreign enemy, the knights would have fallen into endless internal strife, and there would be no such thing as Kasimir's proud history of the thousand-year war of resistance.

The Supervisory Court and the Federation are now the targets of this kind of check and balance, and will continue to check and balance for a long time in the future.

It's just that for now, the Supervisory Court is a little bit weak, and it's a little bit defeated in the face of the fast-growing business.

So, Luo Zhen finally revealed his purpose:

"Grandmaster, I want Maria to join my knight order. During this period, I want the Prison Court to endorse me and keep the name of the Linguang family. As long as it is before Margaret comes back, it won't be too much." old."

"Of course it's fine."

The Grand Knight Commander nodded immediately.

She had expected Luo Zhen's purpose a long time ago, and she also came here with the intention of doing everything she could to help.

So after having a heart-to-heart talk with this young man, she smiled even more happily:

"Roja, you are such an excellent young man. Your strength is only secondary, but you can have such a kind and gentle heart, as well as wisdom and rationality, compassion and bravery...Really, Marn It really surprises me that Na has such an outstanding child like you."

"I thought that before helping Linguang's family, you would ask me to deal with Manna. In fact, he is also prepared. If you want, the position of the long cavalry is up to you..."

Luo Zhen: "Ah... so what, let me clarify this misunderstanding first. Sorry, I am not the illegitimate child of Uncle Manna."

......what?

This was probably the first time that the Grand Knight Commander was really surprised.

In fact, Luo Zhen came to her for an endorsement just to make an excuse not to take the position as Manna's illegitimate child.

Rumors are rumors, if I really followed this reason to become Linguang's parent rider, it would be embarrassing on the one hand, and it would be embarrassing to get along with Linguang's family in the future.

I have taken a lot of blame for that uncle who has never masked, and it is time to cleanse him.

So, Luo Zhen continued:

"This champion wall exhibition hall used to be a museum used to store the relics of heroes and heroes. There is also a file storage room in the secret room, which stores many treasures handed down from the era of the gods and people."

"...Yes, indeed."
