The old oven behind the counter let out a crisp beep, and the bearded old bartender put down the clean wine glass in his hand and turned back to the oven.
The bald bartender wore a black eye patch over his right eye, and his two old arms were covered with scars and sword marks. His whole body was not stooped, but the T-shirt was filled with tight muscles, making him look extraordinarily strong.
At first glance, it looks like a veteran who has been trained for many years and has fought with real swords and guns—or a competitive knight.
He is the owner of the tavern and the only bartender, as the sign outside the door says, and the regular customers who come here like to call him Bald Martin.
Martin is kind and knows how to do business. Although the location is remote, many old knights from the previous era like to come and drink - including the two people in the center of the tavern.
Without wearing anti-scalding gloves, relying only on the calluses of his hands, the bald Martin took out the baking tray from the oven, scooped out the bubbling cheese slices, and sent them to the wine table closest to the bar.
"Old man, your grilled cheese—maybe I should have taken the opportunity to change the mechanical arm at that time. Now the calluses are too thick, and it may not even respond to pressing the touch screen."
"Come on, Martin, don't get cheap and be good--Why hasn't Maria come back yet, can't something go wrong?"
Picking up a slice of cheese and cooling it in the wine for a while, an old Kuranta sitting on the wine table gave Martin a blank look.
He was wearing an armor that seemed to belong to a knight, but it was not a Casimir-style plate armor, but more like the armor of the Eastern Yan Kingdom of Taila.
"Who knows, those bastards from the company won't attack an applicant in advance - it's still the fault of you old bastard, Maria's mechanical talent is so good, she will definitely become a top craftsman after studying with me for a few years , why do such a dangerous thing.”
On the other side of the wine table, a thick, furry arm stretched out and snatched the grilled cheese from the old knight's plate.
"Last time, she drew a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the old man's armor, and sent it to Rhodes Island—that is, you have been around her all day long, talking about the old glory of knights, That's why she wants to sign up for some kind of knight competition."
The person who spoke was a humanoid white bear—to be precise, it was an old Ursus ancestor who was still old, and he was also wearing a light power armor, which was the standard equipment for craftsmen's followers.
"Fart, I'm just a second-level knight with no military achievements. Maria can still be inspired by me-you still don't know whose fault it is? Margaret back then and Maria now are both Who are you studying?"
The old knight kicked the old craftsman's leg violently under the table, and the two disagreed with each other, and soon got into a fight on the table.
But Martin was not surprised by this-as long as the furniture was not broken, these two old clowns could somewhat stir up the atmosphere of the tavern.
But soon, Martin knew that tonight's business could not be done.
bang——
There was a loud noise, and the old wooden door shattered.
"This is the first time this month, and who is it—Maria?"
Martin looked out the door with a professional and gentle smile, but found that the barrage was not the imagined drunk and hooligan, nor was it some bluffing Kuranta woman. The remaining one eye was slightly widened.
"Old Falcon, Kowal, going to close the store—look who's here."
It smashed the door of the store, and a slender blond girl walked in, carrying a Zarak girl who had passed out as a knight, and the sportswear was stained with blood.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Martin. After much deliberation, I can only come to your side. If I find out that I brought someone home, Uncle Manna will definitely scold me to death!"
The blond-haired girl didn't stop, and directly carried the pink-haired girl on the table in the bar.
Beside her, a black-haired man and a blue-haired girl with long horns also came in carrying the dizzy little knight.
"Long time no see Martin, sorry to bother you."
"Hey, I'll go, Old Wang!"
The old Kuranta and the old Ursas on the table immediately stood up excitedly and ran forward to help.
"It's a nice place—you know them well?"
Effortlessly carrying the little knight in plate armor, Chen Huijie trotted all the way over without even breaking a sweat. The little dragon girl who usually had a lot of drinks with Shi Huaiya and Xingxiong appraised the old man immediately. bar.
The conclusion reached is - not bad.
"The scope of Rhodes Island's work covers the whole world. At that time, I happened to come to Casimir to do business, and with Linguang's relationship, we naturally got to know each other."
Wang Qi shrugged, not as anxious as the pony beside him.As an employee of a pharmaceutical company, she can still see the priority of a patient's condition.
"Who cares about this, I only care about whether you have a few more 'confidantes' somewhere - this little Kuranta looks good."
After giving Wang Qi a blank look, Chen Huijie put the Flametail Knight on the stool opposite Li, and helped him take off his armor one by one, while teasing Wang Qi.
Compared to Li, who had fainted, Flametail Knight was just not used to Wang Qi's Originium skills, and he was overtired, so he vomited.
"Shhhhhhh, what are you talking about, Maria will only come of age on her birthday in July this year, so don't talk nonsense in front of others."
The old man blushed, Wang Qi quickly reminded Sir Chen, picked up the medical kit, ran to Li, and checked the young lady's injuries.
Wang Qi knew something was wrong when he solved the pursuit and found the golden brilliance shining in the sky.
Sure enough, the young lady in charge of the joint, Sister Li, was attacked by the enemy. If there is no accident, it should be the Wuzhou League.
"Well... the wound has healed."
Lifting up Li's slender arm, when Wang Qi just arrived, there was still a silver-white feather arrow stuck in Li's arm, flowing with juicy blood, but now, it is intact as before, and the new skin is like a child's. The skin is generally delicate.
Immediately afterwards, the tall and energetic blonde girl rushed over with the first aid kit in the tavern.
"It's okay, it's okay, miss, please wake up, don't sleep, if you fall asleep, you won't be able to wake up again—Brother Wang Qi, let me go!"
Finding that Li was completely unconscious, the girl also forgot to use the honorific name for Wang Qi, and rushed over to easily knock Wang Qi away, her slender but powerful arms bowed left and right, and began to slap Li's cheeks.
Wang Qi patted his forehead and smiled helplessly with the old men around him.
"Did you forget that your Originium skill can not only heal people, but also make people stunned—Maria?"
"what!"
The blond Kuranta girl was taken aback for a moment, looked at the swollen cheeks under her hand, and stuck out her little tongue at Wang Qi in embarrassment.
"...Eh heh?"

Section 239 12. Farewell and cooperation.
Maria Linguang is not yet full this year, but according to Casimir's tradition, she is already an adult Kuranta.
She is the Linguang operator, that is, Margaret Linguang, the younger sister of the reliable Yao knight.
Linguang seldom mentioned her past to others, but whenever she mentioned her sister to others, she could always say a lot more than usual.
Different from the sister who has gone through many hardships and witnessed the suffering of the earth, she has become calm and resolute, Maria—the Flawed Knight known to Wang Qi, is more innocent and active.
Of course, to be precise, this pony, who has rarely been beaten by society, has a more... cheerful personality?
"Yes yes yes sorry!"
Standing in front of an old wine table, Maria in sportswear suddenly bent down, and the twin ponytails on the back of her head and behind her little butt suddenly raised, sincerely apologizing to Li in front of her.
"No need to be like this, Miss Maria, you saved me from the assassins and healed my wounds. There is no doubt that you have inherited the glorious oath of the Linguang family who is not afraid of hardships and darkness. I will tell my master the truth. reported."
On the other side of the wine table, Zarak Knight Li still had a gentle smile on his face—although her originally pretty face was swollen visible to the naked eye, it still did not affect her calm expression.
"Hey, I could have expected Master Wang Qi to be a hero to save the beauty, but in the end, I was saved by a passing knight, so I don't have any reason to make a promise with my body—hiss!"
There was a sudden chill on Li's cheeks, and when she looked up, she found that Wang Qi had pressed two ice balls used to chill wine on her face.
"Forgive me, sister, you were hunted down just now, so you can't be a little bit formal. I can't guarantee that Hui Jie won't kill people—thanks, Martin."
Returning the remaining ice cubes to the bald boss, Wang Qi carefully looked at Chen Huijie aside, and found that she was not staring at him, but was helping the flame tail knight to treat the wound, so he patted his chest reassuringly.
It is said that the tigress is the scariest, but Chen sir is much scarier than Shi Huaiya, she can't really kill people, but once that loud voice starts to scold, Wang Qi's SP will increase steadily.
"What a big deal, anyway, except for these two old guys, there is no one in the bar today, but the snacks have already been sold, so there is nothing to entertain you."
The bald Martin shook his head with a smile, poured Wang Qi a glass of wine on the table, and returned to the bar to continue wiping the dishes.
"It's rare for you to come, Wang Qi. Is it the 'holiday' arranged by your boss?"
"Don't talk about it, have you heard about Longmen? My vacation has already passed in the battle with the integration movement. This time I came to Casimir for a real business trip."
Wang Qi sighed, took a sip of mulled wine, and complained about a certain black-hearted bunny in his heart-he can hold the biggest boss in Rhodes Island in his arms and knead at will every day, but he can't add a little bit to himself. real vacation.
The work pressure is getting heavier, and the girls from the Guard Bureau and Penguin Logistics will come to the door every now and then. If he is not strong and exercises every day, he may not be able to withstand it.
"And obviously, this time we're at it again."
"Ha, Old Wang, you don't want to be idle in this life. Believe me, you will never have idle time."
On the other side of the wine table, the old knight also smiled happily at the moment, raised his wine glass and touched Wang Qi.
"I knew that you must intervene in such an important matter as the Knight Tournament—especially Maria's return this time."
"Cough, cough, drink and drink—Old Wang, last time you asked me to copy the design of the old man's armor. How is the effect? Are you satisfied with Linguang?"
With a light cough, the old craftsman on the opposite side quickly stopped the old knight from continuing to speak, and changed the topic.
"Let me tell you, that suit of armor was strictly guarded by that kid Manna, and Maria traced the various armor components with a pencil by herself. This girl is definitely a talented craftsman."
When the big white bear said this, Wang Qi immediately remembered Linguang's new armor that the black snake couldn't even cut through. Even Tallulah praised Linguang and ACE, two excellent operators.
"Don't worry, the Vulcan operator in our equipment department also praised you, Margaret has used the new armor, she is very satisfied - she even asked me to come and see her favorite sister."
He was used to calling Linguang who was on the island, but now facing another Linguang, Wang Qi was not used to it for a while.
"Hey hey, I'm not that good anymore, I'm far behind Uncle Koval."
Maria is a naive girl who is full of emotions and doesn't know how to hide her heart. After being praised by everyone, she immediately covered her face in embarrassment.
"However, my sister is usually so boring, and she keeps everything in her heart, so she definitely won't praise me so easily—Brother Wang Qi must have added the last sentence!"
Sure enough, the pony was just a child.
"Ha, believe me, she is much more frank now, and she is the idol of many boys and girls on the island."
Patting Maria on the head, Wang Qi could tell that she was deliberately concealing something he already knew.
"Compared to this, Ms. Li, can you explain what happened to Hui Jie and me tonight—you put your partners in danger. This doesn't seem like a business attitude?"
After saying hello to a group of old acquaintances, Wang Qi turned around and looked at Li, who was covering his cheeks, and sat across her table with a smile.
"Or, is all of this expected by the Supervisory Council?"
"Oh...how should I say this, maybe half and half?"
Rubbing his aching cheeks, Li still showed a nearly perfect smile.
