Is It Really Ark of Tomorrow?

Chapter 12 Homework

(Because the plots related to Platinum and all kinds of light whip blade are full of time bugs and description conflicts, so here I will do some sorting and deletion on the timeline. If there is a timeline error, it is basically me Reworked.)

This year is the year when the knights compete for the championship.

The triennial knight athletics conference will come to an end this month, and the publicity themes for the streets and alleys have already begun to be laid.

Is it the Shining Knight who shines like a shooting star and is able to break out of numerous obstacles, or the Silver Knight who finally breaks through the shackles and wins the championship? On the opposing LOGO, the heroic Knight and the calm Silver Knight complement each other.Glittering LED lights illuminate Casimir's neighborhood with colorful lights.

But none of this has anything to do with passing by on Street View.A melancholy man with blond hair walked in the darkness, gradually sinking into the alley with no lights, as if he was avoiding the flickering light.

Those monitoring sights in the past have disappeared, and those figures that are about to move have also disappeared in the darkness.

Just like a real path that gradually walked into silence, Manna felt the emptiness around him for the first time, and walked towards his home with some complicated emotions.

Walking on the road, the hellish picture scroll played in my mind over and over again.

Fourteen people were killed on the spot, seven were seriously injured and 14 were slightly injured in the explosion at the Knights Hotel.The Chamber of Commerce was subsequently attacked by retaliation, 11 stores were attacked by two-dimensionalization, and the products of all stores were flattened.The entire operation lasted from morning to afternoon, ending with the surrender of the Chamber of Commerce.

During the whole process, Manna felt like he was in a dream. He saw a roaring dragon hovering over Casimir, looking at the rotten land with contempt, and burned out a territory full of lava with a mouthful of flames.

For a moment, really only for a moment, Manna also wanted to stand in front of the corruption of the Chamber of Commerce once again and show her light.

But, he didn't.

He is not Li Lin, he has a family.

He still has things to do, stop his ridiculously innocent niece from doing something completely pointless.

The reason why people become weak and incompetent when they are bound is because once these things are caught by the enemy, they are real weaknesses.Emotional chains bound him, so that he could only struggle to survive in this area.

This is the biggest difference between the two.

He thought Aiden, the man who called himself the Guards Officer Corps, was as incompetent as the Chamber of Commerce.

The people Aiden recruited were either spies or scum.Or it is an incompetent person like himself who is bound by guilt and family.

But now he has a whole new perspective.A kind of inexplicable panic.A kind of fear spreading from his heart prompted him to return to his home again, wanting to confirm whether his family members were alive again.

Walking through the quiet alley with slightly dull steps, he saw the profound and simple mansion of Linguang's family at a glance.The door with mottled rust patterns was still creaking, and there was a toothache sigh when it was pushed out, as if it was welcoming the return of someone who did not exist.

Looking at the two golden figures, one big and one small, who were competing with each other in the courtyard, Manna subconsciously tugged on his collar and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they are still alive.

Looking at the two girls who were concentrating on playing—perhaps it was serious exercise for them—Mana once again put on a straight face and knocked on the courtyard door.

Hearing the dull knocking sound, the two girls were startled, their ears trembled, and they raised their heads in surprise to look at Manna who looked indifferent.The originally happy and cheerful smile quickly disappeared on his face, turning into aggrieved and dull.

"Uncle... I just came out to train..."

"Maria. Go back to study. Margaret, come with me."

"..."

The two girls looked at each other, and the youngest walked towards the study with a face full of tears.The older one hesitated a little, but quickly followed behind the man with a firm expression.

The footsteps of the two people echoed in the lonely courtyard. In the increasingly dilapidated and lonely courtyard, Manna looked at the once magnificent, but now dilapidated, and it is very likely that it will be sold soon. Going out to the courtyard land, I closed my eyes in some pain.

But immediately he turned into a cold and rigid attitude, looking at his poor niece who was naive and ignorant, trying to play with others within other people's rules, and also wanted to get honor and recognition.The pure and stubborn amber eyes were high-spirited, looking straight at his uncle, as if waiting for another advice from him.

And Manna did not disappoint her niece.

"Quit the Knight Tournament now, your game is over."

"Do not."

"How long do you want to mess around?"

"I'm not fooling around. I know what you want to say, uncle, but we have never been the only ones struggling in this world."

"Maybe I should really ask you to do something serious to let you experience what struggle is?"

"But I've heard it all! That Li Lin, that Li Lin who scolded the regent is here!"

"You don't know anything about this world. Go back."

"Uncle! At the same age, he can even criticize those darkness and injustice across the world, why can't I!"

"I said, don't ask any more, and don't try to get anything from me. You sisters just keep working hard and studying hard. It's enough to grow up well. Don't do things with an illusory sense of honor. That was the most stupid move."

"But that Li Lin has come to us now! Many of us plan to meet him. He is the leader of the Guards Officer Corps. As long as we show the honor and demeanor of knights, as long as we ignite everyone's heart Light, not only us, but everyone who wants a just world must—"

"...Ignite the light in my heart? The honor and demeanor of a knight? Just rely on that man?"

"Uncle...have you met him?"

"..."

"You've already met him, haven't you? Please take me with you, I know that such a person will never sit still."

"..."

Looking at the stubborn niece, the corners of Manna's eyes twitched, and she suddenly wanted to draw her sword and smash this rebellious niece on the bed, it's best not to go out forever.

So can you touch it?Margaret Linguang?Is that a man you can touch?

Manna, who finished handling the scene, even now feels a burning sensation in his lungs.

When violence is displayed in front of everyone in a pure way, there will be a feeling of tingling in the scalp and stopping the beating of the heart.

Especially when the tyrannical gaze turns to him, and his life is taken away, the more arrogant the person with his own thoughts, the more he can feel a kind of fear that goes deep into the bone marrow.

That Li Lin is an unscrupulous lunatic.

He must never expose his family to such madness.

"...Want to see him? It's also very simple."

Looking at her stubborn niece, Manna took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.

The raw stone technique that has not been used for a long time is agitated in his body, gradually condensing a bright light in his hands.

It was a much calmer and more sophisticated color than the radiance displayed by Yao Knight today.Although the shining white light never pierced the dark sky, it still danced and flickered in the courtyard.

In the interlacing of light and shadow, Manna's expression became more and more distressed and compassionate.

"Face me, Margaret. If you can beat me, I'll let you meet her."

Chapter 13 Rusty Dragon

There are rumors that a beam of light once flashed in the old city at night, but it only flashed for a second or two and then disappeared, which became some rumors in the streets and alleys.Claiming that the Yao knight is practicing some nirvana, trying to cut the silver knight under the horse.

Everyone likes to hear such rumors, so before the noon of the next day, Yao Knight's winning rate was slightly raised by one percentage point, and he had an unknown amount of money thrown at the dealer.

Manna was walking on the road, looking at the still shining signboard, staring at the niece with a bright smile on the billboard, and touched her cuff unnaturally.

There was a trace of undetectable marks on the neat suit.Although it has been repaired as best as possible, some dents can be seen.

Stretching out his hand to cover the broken part, Manna still had that melancholy look on his cheek, walking through the streets of Casimir Mobile City, walking towards the company in a lonely way.

Maybe he was really old, and even Margaret could meet him unexpectedly.

Although I was surprised that Margaret actually dared to attack me at the time, and I didn't react for a while when I saw her light, so I was touched by the cuff, but when I was touched, I was touched.This made Manna, who thought she could teach her niece a lesson without injury, feel sad.

Is this gratification for the growth of my niece, or is it a worry about her future?

No, it should be more of a lament for his own powerlessness.

I am an incompetent person, unable to realize my ideals, and make my family restless. I can only watch the people I care most about fall into crisis.

There is no relative who is more incompetent than oneself.Even now, he still acts like a parent to coerce her.But what if you don't?Could she really weather that storm?

The chaotic emotions in his mind were constantly churning, Manna walked into the company building, nodded to the frightened little spy of the Wuhad League, waited for the elevator to send him to the work station, and continued his boring work. one day.

But before he could sort out his emotions, the elevator door slid open to the left and right with a ding.The red-eyed tyrannosaurus stood in the elevator, looked at the two people outside and showed a friendly smile, and the shark-like sharp teeth reflected a penetrating white light in the sun.

"Oh, it's late at work today, Manna. Have you gone out to relax?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li Lin. There are some small things at home, and they will be dealt with quickly."

"It's okay, the family is the main thing. After all, I don't have a family, and I envy you who have families."

"..."

Looking at Li Lin who seemed to be waving his hands indifferently, Manna, who was physically and mentally exhausted, was even taken aback for a moment.

How to take this?

The boss is right?Why does this feel like a curse?

You say so boldly that you have no family, how can you let other people pick up on you?

Not only Manna froze in place, but also the trembling little white horse beside him, looking at Li Lin with red pupils in astonishment, not knowing what to do.

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay, I said something wrong. But the family relationship must be handled properly, otherwise you will definitely regret it. At least you have a chance to make up for it. I don't even know who my family is."

"It's just that my niece is a little naughty and insists on doing some dangerous things, just teach her a lesson."

"The head of the feudal family doesn't want it. If necessary, you should talk to your niece in detail. We are all a family, so what's the point? It's nothing more than boring self-esteem and even more boring obsession. But I'm just a Outsiders, just listen."

"I'll keep that in mind, boss."

"When I was working, this sentence usually means that if you hear it, you will fart. But anyway, in Casimir, you are also my important employee, so it doesn't matter."

Li Lin yawned and waved towards the elevator.

Several forms that looked exquisitely bound and detailed floated into his hands, and then delivered them to Manna's palm with his faint smile.

Those were several anti-counterfeit checks that could be cashed in the banks of the Chamber of Commerce.Or rather, some kind of proof of property protection.With it, you can withdraw the amount in the bank at will.The number is even beyond the imagination of normal people.

"Here is their first compensation, use it well. By the way, if those people who bought the money are rich, go to Chanel and ask him to give money to executives and talented people from all walks of life. Something, if you can draw it over, draw it over."

"Don't you want to send those poor people away? In this way, we can get more support and related bodies."

"Ha, my kindness hasn't reached that level yet. Are you also deceived by those rumors?"

Waving his palm, Li Lin showed his sharp teeth and smiled happily.

"I couldn't even save a child, and Rhine failed in the life struggle. I have long since seen it through. In the end, the weak preyed on the strong, and this world has always been like this. I just came to bully and bully. I have no ability and real power. .To those civilians? What are they for? What can they create for me? Or is it that I’m so rich that I don’t even care about money?”

"..."

"Now this society depends on them after all. It's good to have ideas, but if you don't have power, you don't have power. It is indeed a way out to expect a saint king or something from the sky, but I'm sorry, I have never had such a thing. I don't know which bastard put this kind of rumor on my head. But it's really thanks to them, otherwise I wouldn't have so many surprises. But surprises are surprises, and surprises are surprises. Don't let me down too much."

The corner of his mouth curled up in a disdainful arc, and the evil dragon sneered, and patted Manna on the shoulder.
