The Lone Wolf of Tomorrow's Ark

"You... come out for me."

"Ugh..."

After being told by Zofia, Maria could only get up from behind the jukebox aggrievedly, lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Zofia's eyes, while Zofia looked at Maria on the head of ... and said:

"You, do you know what it means to participate in the knight competition?"

"Huh..."

"No wonder Zofia is so angry."

Hearing Zofia's words, the old knights present understood the reason, but they didn't say much. From the words just now, it can be heard that Maria should have signed up for this time without telling everyone. The Casimir competition, for old knights like them, there is actually no harm in participating in this kind of competition.

But Zofia is a person who loves her niece very much, and she also understands the inside story of the competition, so she doesn't want Maria to suffer any unwarranted disaster like Margaret back then.

"I... more or less know something..."

When she said this, Maria was quite unashamed, while Zofia continued to ask quite seriously:

"That's right, through the performance of your sister who miraculously won the title of 'Bright Knight'? Then you really know it well."

"Well... I knew it would be like this..."

"How dare you say that?! You're not Margaret!"

Hearing Maria's murmuring voice, Zofia suddenly became angry again, and directly reached out and grabbed Kuranta's ears on Maria's head.

Oh, by the way, Maria is the so-called quadraphonic Terran, who has Kuranta ears and human ears at the same time. As for why Zofia didn't pull that person's ears... probably Because Kuranta's ears are hairy, it feels better?

"Well... don't pull my ears... I, I am also for my family... Seriously, I feel like I will have no bed to sleep in next year, and the furniture is almost sold out! A family without a long ride will not be punished. Recognized, the association has urged many times..."

"Tsk..."

Hearing Maria's words, Zofia's hand relaxed slightly, and at the same time frowned, and the two little eyebrows moved closer cutely.

The so-called long cavalry is Casimir's rule. Every knight family must have a young and strong young generation to serve as the long cavalry, which is the so-called next head of the family. However, the Linguang family was expelled in Margaret. After Casimir, except for Maria, no one belonged to the younger generation at all, but Maria did not intend to be a knight, so the position of long rider was naturally vacant.

Then, families without long cavalry have to deduct taxes to maintain the title of knight family, so in the past few years, Linguang's family has been relying on selling some valuables in the family to pay taxes to maintain The name of this knight family.

However, it is impossible for the Knights Association to really keep a knight family without long knights at all, so the annual tax can be said to be getting higher and higher. competition.

"Then you won't live with me? The bath is so big that there are even two gardens, not to mention the grass field is bigger than a football field..."

As soon as Zofia's words came out, all the old knights present felt that they had been stabbed in the chest, envious and jealous.

Because Zofia used to be a knight like them. After seeing the shady scene in the competition, she quit decisively, and then started to do some investment things. The result was out of control. Zofia seemed to be blessed by a halo of luck. , relying on one person, in just a few years, they have earned the combined savings of these old guys all their lives. It can be said that Zofia is the richest knight.

"........."

After hearing Zofia's words, Maria was silent for a while and said:

"...After my grandfather passed away, my uncle still didn't want to have anything to do with the association, and my sister was kicked out of Casimir. If I can't shoulder some responsibilities..."

"Ugh…………"

Zofia didn't know what to say to Maria's words, so she could only say:

"I have a hunch that tomorrow's headlines must be something like 'A new Yao Knight is about to be born?', or 'Shocking, what the Yao Knight rookie and the arena have to say.' I guess ten out of ten will be some gimmicky title."

"Hey, as expected of my sister, many people still remember what happened back then."

"Are you still laughing?! Uncle Martin, you should know what a knightly competition is like. You are the only one who knows the best. Don't you persuade me?"

Hearing Zofia's words, Martin, who was cleaning the cup, lowered his head slightly and looked at his armored left hand. In fact, it was not armor at all, but a prosthetic limb reinstalled after the arm was cut off during the competition.

It can be said that Martin, a person who has suffered injuries, understands how cruel this competition is to Maria, but he also knows that this competition will not be dangerous because there are new participants here , and Martin said:

"Well...how about letting her try it? Maria's origin stone skills and swordsmanship are also pretty good..."

"……what--?!"

Hearing Martin's words, Zofia was full of disbelief, while Maria said happily:

"Thank you, Uncle Martin!"

"Hey, hey, are you kidding? This little guy can't even beat me with one hand. Are you sure she can do that kind of competition?"

"One hand?! Is that too much?"

Hearing her aunt's evaluation of herself, Maria immediately looked aggrieved, but she didn't dare to refute, because Zofia could really hit her with one hand...

However, at this time Koval came to the rescue and said:

"Don't say that, you have won the top [-] anyway, and you are considered a pass if you can beat you by one hand. After all, even Lao Fu can't beat you by one hand now."

"Kowal, say it again?!"

Regardless of the enemies who were quarreling again, Zofia looked at Maria who was smiling beside her, raised her hand unceremoniously and punched her on the top of the head, and said:

"What are you laughing at?! Can't you see Martin's left hand?!"

"Forehead……"

After receiving such a training from Zofia, Maria suddenly didn't dare to speak again, but at this moment, a female voice suddenly came:

"Let her go. After all, you can only understand what the competition looks like after you have seen it. There is not only the scenery of being a knight."

"Ok?"

Hearing this female voice, Zofia turned her head and saw a figure in a black robe sitting in the corner, and because she turned her head, she didn't see the meaningful smile on Martin's face.

"I'm sorry, this is considered to be dealing with family affairs. Strangers, please don't intervene. Thank you for your cooperation."

Although she felt that this person was a little familiar, Zofia was getting angry right now and didn't think much about it. She just politely told others not to meddle in other people's family affairs.

Hearing Zofia's words, Linguang couldn't help but smiled, got up, took off the hood of the black robe, and said:

"It's really not suitable for strangers to intervene, so what if I'm the sister of the person involved?"

"…………"

When Linguang showed his true face, Zofia and Maria were both shocked, and neither of them could speak, but Maria was the first to recover, with tears in her eyes, and rushed over directly:

"elder sister!"

"Long time no see, Mary... wait, here I am..."

"Boom!"

"Ah! (?ω? )"

"...and still wearing armor..."

"It hurts, it hurts... 555..."

Seeing how Maria was rolling on the ground in pain because her head hit the armor on her chest because she jumped too fast, Linguang's expression was embarrassing, and then he looked at Zofia who also returned to his senses, only Seeing that Zofia's expression remained unchanged, but her eye circles were slightly red, she asked:

"Come back secretly? How long did you stay?"

"Almost, until the end of the competition."

"I'm not writing to you to get you to come back and encourage Maria to enter the competition."

After saying this, Zofia looked at the bag covering her forehead, and Maria, who had already stood up and hugged Linguang, sighed, but Linguang said:

"If I came back alone, maybe I would stop it, but this time, many friends came together, so I am not worried. Maria's intention is good, and there is no harm in letting her go and have a look. "

"Hey hey hey..."

"Still laughing!"

"Snapped!"

"Ah! Auntie! This is a bag that just popped out, it hurts!"

"Huh? What did you call me?"

After Maria finished speaking, Zofia's expression suddenly became ugly, accompanied by a low air pressure, terribly tense, but before Maria could make a remedy, the door was opened again, and Phoenix was carrying two bags. came in and said:

"I'm back, I bought some souvenirs and some appetizers that you might like... Oh? Sister Zofia?"

"Oh? That little...little brother?!"

After seeing Phoenix, Zofia, who was still angry just now, suddenly lost her anger. She looked like a little girl in Huaichun who she had met by accident, cute and tight.

Chapter 370 Six Event Schedule

"Huh? Sister Zofia? I didn't expect to meet again, but, I repeat, don't call me little brother..."

After seeing Zofia, Phoenix was not surprised at first, but after hearing what she called him, Phoenix still couldn't help complaining, refuted a bit, and then came to the table, put two bags put it down.

"Ahaha, don't worry about it."

After hearing Phoenix's rebuttal, Zofia couldn't hold back a smile, and her mood immediately improved because of the incomparable mess Maria made just now, and after seeing Zofia's performance, everyone present All of them were stunned, because the old knight knew Zofia quite well.

Except when Zofia spends her days buying a bunch of unnecessary items, I have never seen her look so happy.

Maria also looked dumbfounded at her aunt who had calmed down for a moment, then at Phoenix, and then as if realizing something, she immediately raised her thumbs up with both hands, saying, "Brother, thank you!" ' look.

"Hey, hey, hey... no way..."

Among these people, the most shocking one is of course Linguang. As a colleague who has worked with Phoenix in Rhodes Island for a while, she knows what the people in Rhodes Island think of Phoenix:

That is a guy who exudes his charm all the time, and if you are not careful, you may fall into a trap and cannot extricate yourself, unless your will is strong enough.

If Linguang didn't believe it at first, she almost believed it now after seeing her aunt's performance, but she still asked:

"Aunt Zofia..."

"Um--?"

"Forehead……"

Before the words were finished, Zofia looked over with a death stare. Feeling this terrible mental oppression again after a long absence, Linguang couldn't help but feel a little furious, and quickly changed his words:

"Zofia... Sister... Do you know Phoenix?"

"Yeah, I met him before I came to the bar. By the way, do you even know him? Then... would you mind telling me about your relationship with him?"

After hearing Linguang obediently calling her aunt, the oppressive feeling in Zofia's smile disappeared immediately, and then she began to ask questions that she cared more about, and Linguang replied:

"I told you in the letter, this is Phoenix, my colleague in Rhode Island."

"I know this, it turned out to be him."

With a slight nod, Zofia turned her head to look at Phoenix who was sharing food and drinks for the knights, and showed an unknown smile. After seeing it, Linguang asked with a slightly subtle expression:
