The Lone Wolf of Tomorrow's Ark

Chapter 410 The Shadow Named 'Bright Knight'

"call--"

Taking a deep breath, Phoenix's mood improved a lot. Then, he stared at Manna who was shocked by his own sound just now, and continued:

"Since I came to Kavaleriaki and met Maria, I don't know whether you are intentional or unintentional, no matter whether you are familiar with Maria or not, you will always hang that 'Bright Knight' on Speaking of it, yes, Maria is indeed the younger sister of the 'Bright Knight', and then what? No matter what she does, as long as it has something to do with the knight, you will always go to put her on the "Bright Knight" Go compare! Don't tell me that you don't mean it, and shut up and listen to me..."

Seeing that Manna seemed to want to refute, Phoenix directly criticized him, and forced the stubborn uncle back, and continued:

"You don't think you have any, but what about Maria, the younger sister of the 'Yao Knight'? Have you ever thought about her feelings? My older sister has got the grades that everyone envies, so what about her younger sister? What can I do? ? For the sake of the family, she participated in the competition at all costs, and what did she get in the end? It was just "give up" out of good intentions one after another!

Do you know what she wants? !She just wants to prove herself!It proves that she is also from the Linguang family!But since when, because of your influence, did she think that if she couldn't reach the level of her sister, she didn't deserve the name of being in the light? ! "

Hearing this, Manna and Maria seemed a little surprised, but what surprised them was not Phoenix's words, but Maria's own character.

Maria lowered her head slightly and looked at her hands, feeling a little unbelievable in her heart:

'Am I really, getting as paranoid as Phoenix said? '

It seems so... Just like what Zofia said when she persuaded Maria to give up for the first time, it was obvious that Maria's original intention was to save the reputation of the Linguang family like her sister , instead of continuing to watch it fade from the sight of the people of Casimir.

This has nothing to do with fame and fame, it's just a sense of honor that belongs to the knight. However, as the competition started and progressed, Maria's original intention seemed to be subtly changed. I'm going to keep winning until now.

What influenced Maria?It's not her sister, Margaret's glorious deeds that people talk about, this girl who has just grown up is afraid, she doesn't want to let anyone down, she wants to achieve a level that can be recognized by her relatives Height, like her sister.

Therefore, when faced with the cooperation of the enterprise, she refused; when faced with a powerful opponent, she fought; when faced with an invisible black hand, she did not back down, just because she felt that if her sister could do it, she must be able to do it...

This is also the reason why Maria still chose to continue when faced with the persuasion of her closest relatives, because in her heart, apart from her original intention, she was already shrouded in the shadow of a "Knight of Glory" up.

And Manna looked at Maria, whose eyes seemed to be a little out of focus, with her head down. The anger in her heart also calmed down, and a sense of sadness began to spread.

Now, the entire Linguang family is supported by his salary from working in the enterprise. All kinds of pressure and busy work have made this once kind elder restrain his smile, and his words have also begun to decrease. Be cautious in everything you do, and when facing Maria, a junior, you can only persuasion and sigh with a cold face.

Manna originally thought that the reason why Maria chose to continue the competition was because she was dazzled by the victory, thinking that she could win the final victory like her sister, but unexpectedly, Maria was not Arrogant, she just doesn't want to disappoint anyone...

After finishing those questions, Phoenix fell silent, took a sip of black tea, and wanted to see if Manna, an old man, would wake up from his scolding, but probably the atmosphere was really inappropriate, and none of the three spoke. Just when Phoenix was about to speak in embarrassment, Manna's communication suddenly rang:

"Buzz..."

"Huh? ... ... Manager? No, I just have some personal matters ... No, personal matters are of course not as important as work ... Project meeting? Today? No, I didn't forget ... sorry, very sorry, sorry, yes ... ...I'll be there soon...what? No, he didn't know the progress of my project...yes, sorry..."

After connecting the phone, Phoenix didn't hear what the other party said because Manna's voice was not very loud. However, according to Manna's face and words, it was probably his superior on the other side, and because of work The question caused Manner to scold him.

It has to be said that the current Manna really seems to have been smoothed by life, and the words of apology are almost instinctively popping out of his mouth. Phoenix and Maria don't know what to say.

"Then...please ask him to attend for me...yes, sorry...the task of the person in charge? This...yes, I promise this time will be the last, there will be no next time...please next time Rescind me, yes, sure, I promise, sorry manager."

As the current pillar of the Linguang family, Manna's combat power is not low at all. It can be seen from the perfectly polished saber that he never leaves. Just by feeling, Phoenix knows that Manna can completely fight alone. Defeat those experienced old knights with one hand.

However, even though she has the strength to bring the Linguang family back to the aristocratic circle, Manna would rather work hard under the top management of the company and be a mediocre social animal than participate in the knight competition, just because the Linguang family His chivalry, disdain for this kind of tainted competition, and this made Phoenix feel a little unsure whether to say that he abides by his heart or is rigid...

After hanging up the communication, Manna breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head slightly to look at Phoenix and Maria, seemed to want to open her mouth to say something, but held back, then stood up, not noticing the communication slipped from her pocket to the sofa implement, walked and said:

"Excuse me, I don't have much free time, let's take a step first, and Maria..."

Hearing Manna calling her, Maria trembled first, then turned her head abruptly, as if she didn't intend to look at him, which was a sign of determination, but Manna didn't say anything this time, just frowned , sighed, and walked towards the door without saying a word, but before leaving the living room, he still said three words:

"Be careful……"

....................................

"Hmm...Maria? Uncle Manna has already left? Don't you come back?"

"Uh 5555...I want to come back too, but I just twisted it too hard! Phoenix, please help me... woo woo woo... 〒▽〒"

"Forehead…………"

Looking at the crying pear blossom and rainy Maria with a stiff neck, Phoenix found that he still underestimated Maria's natural dullness that destroyed the atmosphere, and then turned her head back gently, and said:

"I can be regarded as... reluctantly fulfilling the obligation of a friend, and successfully persuaded your two parents, right?"

"Pfft...hahaha...almost."

Looking at the complacent Phoenix, Maria couldn't help smiling, and the bad mood of being reprimanded by Manna just now was swept away, but at this time, Phoenix's words made Maria's heart ache. Jumping wildly:

"By the way? Is there no one else in your family? Just the two of us now?"

"Yes... yes, now the Linguang family is not as powerful as before..."

"Ah, sorry..."

"nothing……"

After finishing these two paragraphs, the two seemed to be in an awkward situation where they had nothing to say. However, Maria's state was obviously more interesting. She lowered her head, her cheeks were slightly red, and she was gently kneading her body. Hem of the clothes he was wearing, and whispered:

"That... that, Phoenix, didn't you say that before. You've fulfilled your friend's duty by doing this... right?"

"Huh? Yes, what's wrong?"

"It's... that's the one, I hope... can you fulfill one more obligation?"

"Okay, let's talk."

At this time, Phoenix probably didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and after he said this, he saw Maria take a deep breath, then stood up suddenly and threw herself into his arms, and then said in a muffled voice:

"Then... let's raise our friendship to boyfriend and girlfriend!"

"Huh?! Since when did you become a boyfriend and girlfriend in friend duties? No, you mean you... like me?!"

Being hugged by Maria like this, Phoenix's first reaction was to complain about Maria's words first, and then he realized what Maria meant. After he said it, Maria's face turned red instantly, but Still hugging Phoenix, without speaking, just nodded slightly.

"Uh... this... But, I have always treated you, Maria, as my younger sister."

This is the truth. Phoenix's 'Azash' energy made him always regard Maria, who was younger than him, as his younger sister. Now... the family relationship has deteriorated? !

"That... that... Actually, it seems that I probably... don't mind sibling love..."

Hearing Phoenix's words, Maria seemed to be broken, leaning her head sideways on Phoenix's arms, nodding her fingers shyly, while Phoenix said with embarrassment all over her face:

"No, let's have a serious talk first."

"Oh."

She agreed with her mouth, but Maria still didn't get up, she just straddled Phoenix's lap, facing Phoenix face to face in a very lewd way, seeing Phoenix raised her forehead, but she still stabilized immediately, and asked :

"Are you sure you really like me?"

"Well, 100% sure!"

"When did it start?"

"Just now! Phoenix is ​​so handsome speaking for me, just like the hero in Kazimir's storybook!"

Looking at the eyes of Maria 'Bling Bulling', Phoenix scratched his cheek helplessly, and said:

"Then let's do it all over again, as if I never said those words, and leave."

"No! You've said it all! You even stole his heart! Don't play tricks!"

Phoenix never thought that a girl like Maria, who is naturally dumb, would be so straightforward after falling in love with someone. She jumped directly on Phoenix, hugged him tightly, and would pester him if he didn't agree. In the end rack.

"Crack..."

But at this moment, the sound at the door froze Phoenix and Maria. Then, in the eyes of the two, Manna, who had just left, came running back in a hurry, as if ignoring him. Like the ambiguous two, they directly picked up the communicator that they left on the sofa, and trotted out of the living room.

"Huh? Uncle... didn't you notice?"

After Maria said this in surprise, Manna poked her head back suddenly, looked back and forth at the bewildered Maria and Phoenix, and said quite calmly:

"Maria, pay attention to your image. There is a box of two gold coins in the store outside. Don't have children before you get married."

After saying three sentences, Manna left in a hurry, hiding her achievements and fame so deeply that she didn't even hear Maria's outburst of complaints afterwards:

"Uncle, did you see it? By the way, how do you know that I took the initiative?! Why do you know the price so clearly, what do you say is so expensive?! What does the last sentence mean?! I am not a leftover girl who hates to marry !!"

It was the first time he discovered Maria's talent for being a complaint position, and Phoenix couldn't help but be a little surprised, but when he saw that there seemed to be a broken can in Maria's eyes, he immediately said:

"Okay, let's pause first, let me ask one thing, Maria, you should know...Zofia likes me too, right?"

"It doesn't matter! Whether it's competition or sharing, I just need to be earlier than my aunt! This is what my mother taught me!"

After confidently uttering some image-destroying words, Maria supported her well-developed chest from bottom to top, and said:

"Besides, I have only just grown up and haven't matured yet. I have the confidence to be bigger than my aunt's!"

"Don't put your confidence in such a place! And you go down first! I have a lot of questions!"

"It's okay to talk about the question later, it's still the first thing to do..."

"What do you want first~ Xiao, Ma, Li, Ya~?"

"Alas?!"

The female voice suddenly sounded from the door, and Maria, who was going to attack her sweetheart directly, shuddered. When she raised her head slightly, she saw the man leaning against the wall with a terrible smile, and his right hand was already on the hilt of his sword. The...Zofia!

"Aunt...Aunt...why are you here..."

Seeing this elder who was imposing and stabilizing her head, Maria was scared away by the courage that had just arisen in her heart, while Zofia smiled and said:

"It turned out that I was worried that you might quarrel with Manna, so I came here to take a look, but it seems that I disturbed your good business... Come here for me! Little girl! Today I will teach you what an elder is. majesty!"

"No!!!!"

Chapter 410

"Forehead……………………"

In Martin's bar, because it's getting close to the night now, there are not many guests here, only Lao Fu, a few old knight regulars, and Phoenix, who is smiling a little awkwardly, and lying on the table, just bored for a whole day A cup of coconut milk, Maria with a look of lovelessness...

"So... this is the whole story of the girl's current appearance?"

With an unknown smile on his face, Martin looked back and forth between Phoenix and Maria, wondering what he was thinking.

Just 5 minutes ago, when Phoenix helped the exhausted Maria to come in, Martin thought they were being attacked, but he only found out after asking, it was only because Maria blatantly wanted to snatch Zofia's picture. Boy, so it's just that he was out of strength after being trained.

It has to be said that this kind of plot trend is much more interesting to these old knight audiences than the clichéd romantic dramas on TV. Even Lao Fu and Koval are happily drinking together, but after a few rounds, the two enemies There was another quarrel:

"Old man! Just persuade others to drink! What about you? How many drinks is this now?!"

"Stop yelling, old guy! I can transfer the firepower with my ability! Anyway, the girl finally found a good friend today, why don't I treat you! Don't get drunk and don't go home!"

"That's about the same... Ton ton..."

Hearing Koval's treat, Lao F didn't even quarrel, and started pouring wine with side dishes, while Koval laughed and scolded:

"You're so impolite, old guy, cut... By the way, girl, when did you fall in love with Fei boy? Master, I'm very curious."
