hero?it must be me

If at that time, the man in front of him didn't choose to wait for him to [get up] slowly, but chose to come up and punch him in the head, or step on his head, then there is no doubt that the match would have ended on the spot.

However, when he fell into a coma for the second time, he was never declared [defeated] until he woke up...

Titus Baiyang withdrew his gaze and looked at Zheng Qi again.

"When I was in a coma for the second time, you even wanted to eat a piece of candy as a pastime when I woke up."

"I saw your expression just now."

"That look—"

Seemingly recalling that scene seriously, Titus involuntarily revealed a self-deprecating bitter smile.

"Oh? You're already up?"

"——This sentence is written on your face so straightforwardly."

"...you're pretty sure it's over."

Titus Baiyang let go of his palm.

He knew that if he wanted to continue playing, no matter whether it was the referee's seat or the audience, no one would question him.

Even, there will be people applauding.

As long as he wasn't beaten like Ingra by Zheng Qi, the referee's seat probably wouldn't intervene, shouting that the victory has been decided.

And if he was beaten like Ingra by Zheng Qi, then the secondary purpose of the Chamber of Commerce would be achieved.

(……whispering sound.)

(Am I getting weaker?)

(If I had met this guy a year earlier, no, two years earlier, I would never have—)

(...Maybe not.)

(tsk—)

The silent Titus Baiyang raised his left hand high.

"I surrender."

(—Although I don’t want to admit it, this guy is really strong.)

The left-handed knight declared his defeat.

The entire arena was silent.

It was as if these three words had frozen everyone in the arena.

Immediately afterwards, a loud sound exploded.

However, Titus Baiyang turned around as if he didn't hear this, and limped towards the west gate where he came.

"no problem?"

Behind him, Zheng Qi's voice came.

"I can afford to lose."

Titus Poplar stopped.

He turned his head halfway: "Also, what's your hobby, toffee?"

"I don't smoke or drink, it's just my hobby."

Putting his hands in his pockets, Zheng Qi replied calmly.

"... brat."

With a grunt, Titus Baiyang turned his head and started walking again.

This time, no one could stop him.

-

"Okay, amazing..."

In the locker room, looking at the picture on the screen, Maria whispered.

It can't be said that it took a long time to decide the winner of the whole game, but this is the third time that Maria has used the word "so powerful" to express her feelings.

It wasn't that Maria couldn't speak, but that she couldn't think of a more appropriate way to express her feelings besides using the simplest and most direct words.

"Two punches."

Zofia on the side frowned slightly: "With just two attacks, I beat that Titus Baiyang into a coma twice on the spot, and it seemed that he was merciful."

She looked at Margaret who was sitting on the bench: "Margaret, what do you think?"

"..."

Margaret, who was always staring at the screen, looked at Titus Baiyang, who was leaving alone, and Zheng Qi, who was standing in the arena watching Titus leave.

"Very strong."

Margaret opened her mouth: "It even exceeded my expectations."

"...I won't ask you any more about your chances of winning. After all, according to the competition area, if he wins like this, he will definitely bump into the Blood Knight first."

Zofia tapped her temple lightly with her fingers: "Next is your first round."

"Ah."

Yao Knight nodded and stood up.

The golden Pegasus raised her sword and spear.

-

(Sure enough, no suspense.)

Looking at Margaret, who was crushed by her opponent in the first round, Zheng Qi, who was sitting on the seat of the infected knight, was not surprised.

Margaret's opponent was a veteran elite knight, not bad in strength. Although not as good as Titus, Zheng Qi felt that he was slightly stronger than the rusty copper Ingra.

However, to Margaret, this made little difference.

Zheng Qi didn't know if Titus, who fell into the loser's bracket, would still want to find Margaret for a showdown after this battle, but he was basically sure that Titus was not Margaret's opponent.

Should it be said that it is the legend of the former champion, Casimir?

[In terms of technology alone, she is above you. 】

The magic code lying on Zheng Qi's shoulder said softly.

(really.)

Zheng Qi agreed.

He has this awareness.

In terms of technology alone, he is indeed inferior to Margaret.

To put it bluntly, a character like Margaret, in that kind of martial arts novel, can already be regarded as the level that can establish a school.

However, Zheng Qi has never been the type who likes to rely on skills to fight.

After winning, Zheng Qi did not follow the normal process to exit from the championship wall to be intercepted by the reporters and media. Instead, he hugged Xinteliya who was waiting for him on the sidelines, jumped out of the field, and jumped to the There are almost no people in the infected knight seat.

This is a good place, and those reporters and media dare not rush here.

Even though, there has never been a rule like [non-infected people are not allowed to enter] here.

In fact, not only Margaret was curious about Zheng Qi's ability, but Zheng Qi also wanted to see the legend of this Casimir, what it was like to start his hands.

Of course, apart from that, he stayed because of his appointment with Margaret.

Next, they have a date.

"Let's go."

Zheng Qi stood up.

"I guess she will be blocked at the championship wall, so let's go there early and wait for her."

Section 208 Chapter 38: Casimir Album (not

The Champions Wall can be said to be an important facility of the Casimir National Arena.

Theoretically, every knight who returns victorious from the arena will walk past the Wall of Champions.

Here, there are portraits of the previous duel champions of the Casimir Major.

There is no doubt that for the vast majority of competitive knights, being able to walk past the championship wall is a powerful display of their own victory and glory.

Therefore, whenever the Wall of Champions is open for outreach, allowing visits and passage, there will be many competitive knights eager to show themselves here to the people of Casimir.

Over time, the Champions Wall has naturally become the favorite place for tourists and spectators to stay after each major tournament.

Today, it is no exception.

Crowds of reporters, crowds of spectators and tourists, the Wall of Champions looks so crowded, if not for the arena staff to maintain order, someone might have already walked down the passage first, thinking about arriving at Margaret. Stopped her before the Wall of Champions.

And just as everyone was staring at the direction of the passage, looking forward to it, suddenly, there was a little commotion from behind the crowd.

"Look, it's Candle Knight! Candle Knight Droste!"

"It's really Candle Knight! Today is so worth it!"

"But what is she here for?"

"Hush, keep your voice down, she seems to be waiting for someone..."

"Quick! Camera, maybe we can get an exclusive gossip about Candle Knight today!"

It was a woman who was slowly stepping into the exhibition hall of the Champions Wall that caused such a commotion.

Dignified, elegant, exudes an ethereal atmosphere that is incompatible with this noisy place.

Obviously she was walking straight towards the crowd like that, but it seemed as if every step she took, she would be farther away from the restless crowd.

When she stopped and watched the direction of the passage from the edge of the crowd, the sense of distance, like looking at flowers through fog, reached its peak.

Obviously she is in the same space as the crowd, and it seems that the two parties are in different worlds at this moment.

People watched her, surrounded her, and even seemed to besiege her.

But, no one dared to really go forward and disturb her.

Candle Knight, Viviana Droste.

A girl from Letania.

A real great knight.

Her arrival naturally triggered an upsurge in line with her popularity.

Until Candle Knight stood on the edge of the crowd for tens of seconds, finally, someone tried to step into her world.

"Your Excellency Candle Knight, I'm sorry, I'm far away. Who are you looking for?"

It was an arena worker.

"It's okay, I took the liberty to act suddenly, and I didn't inform you... I just want to take a look at the figure of that Yao knight."

Candle Knight smiled at the staff member as she would anyone, speaking softly.

"The game is almost over, isn't it?"

"Yes, Yao Knight just won the victory 3 minutes ago."

"……Um."

After getting the answer he wanted, Candle Knight nodded slightly, and then continued to watch the direction of the passage.

"...Are you really just here to meet Yao Knight?"

"I want to see, I want to see how different she is from the Yao Knight that the knights have passed on."

Facing the questions from the staff, Candle Knight responded without hesitation.

While the two were talking, the crowd erupted again.

"Look, that is the Zheng vessel of the red pine, right?"
