Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

At this time, Rennes had already begun to think about countermeasures as a competitive knight, and then he could only regretfully find that he didn't seem to have any means to deal with a player like Li Ang.

That kind of exaggerated power cannot be underestimated even with bare hands, maybe the only way is to avoid getting close and use spells or crossbows to hit it from a distance?

"My strength should be enough, right?"

"Enough is enough, with this strength alone, no one under the senior knight will be your opponent." Ren sighed, Li Ang's strength does not need him to worry at all, he should think more about himself now good.

A fifth-level knight... As long as he works harder, he can be promoted to a fourth-level knight. In this way, even if he has touched the threshold of a senior knight, he can bring more income to his family.

"Actually, I'm better at Originium skills, but my venue here is relatively small, and I'm not very good at controlling the power of spells..." Li Ang said.

That's right... How could I forget this just now.

Ryan couldn't help feeling a little complicated. He was still thinking about how to defeat Li Ang just now, but he forgot that he was also a warlock.

If there is a spell confrontation in the middle distance, it is still a matter of who suppresses who.

Li Ang's strength is very strong, completely beyond Rennes' expectations, he can even draw up a contract instead of the boss, and his boss will not have any opinions at that time.

But Ren is hesitant now, because he doesn't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

On the bright side, since Li Ang has this level of strength, even if he really steps on the stage of knight competition, he doesn't have to worry too much about his safety.

But an overly dazzling performance also means trouble. If Li Ang gets into the eyes of the senior executives of the business alliance, then it is not something he can control whether to sign or not... At that time, things will become very difficult.

I heard that there are rumors that the business union will attack the knights who refuse to cooperate. I don’t know if it’s true. Those legendary knight killers...

"Come on, I'll take you to see my boss."

On the other side, Sarah also brought Adele to a very old manor.

"Here we are, ah... Aiyafala, this is the manor of the Linguang family."

No.16 Linguang Family

This is a manor that looks old. The outermost wall is already covered with moss and cracks. In the gaps of the ivy, an old house appears and disappears in the sunlight.

Sarah stopped at the gate of the manor, turned around and looked at Adele, and said, "Are you really not thinking about it? You can find a better job, and there is no need to do it for me. "

Adele shook her head lightly, and replied, "That will bring you trouble."

In fact, it was because they did not run far enough. Although Casimir and Letania did not directly border each other, the distance was not too far away. There were many exchanges between the two countries.

If they are now in distant countries like Colombia and Sargon, they don't have to worry about these details.

Adele was going to find an unremarkable job to save some money before thinking about becoming a messenger of natural disasters.

It just so happened that Sarah was unable to continue her previous job because of her pregnancy, so Adele planned to replace her first and help finish the work for the past few months.

"All right……"

Seeing that Adele was so determined, Sarah stopped persuading her, "Then I'll take you to meet the owner of this manor, Mr. Manna, and I made an appointment with him to meet today."

Unlike the talented Adele, Sarah's talent can only be said to be ordinary, and it is not enough to support her to study at William University.

Like those thousands of ordinary people, Sarah found a very ordinary job after she got married as a maid in the Linguang family's manor.

Hmm... But to be honest, there is no one to take care of in this manor. Including the owner of the manor, Manna Linguang, there are only two people living in this manor.

Although she is a maid in name, Sarah thinks the title of 'gardener' is more appropriate.

In addition to cleaning the rooms where no one lives at all, Sarah's most common job is to clean up the overgrown weeds in the manor. Although it is not very easy, the owner of the manor treats her very well. No matter how you say it, it will not push Adele into the fire pit.

The manor was huge, but it was a bit too desolate. Adele didn't see anyone along the way. After passing through the deserted courtyard, the two came to the house in the center of the manor.

Here, they met the owner of the manor - Manna Linguang.

It was a haggard middle-aged man from Kuranta. Although his body looked strong and powerful, there were a pair of big dark circles on his face, as if he would die suddenly due to overwork at any time.

His expression looked extremely indifferent, as if he didn't care about everything.

"Ms. Kuhn, what is the reason you came to see me this time?"

Seeing Sarah walking in, Manna asked.

"It's about the next job. I have something I want to discuss with you," Sarah replied, and then she pushed Adele out behind her, "This is my sister Aiyafala. I'm afraid I won't be able to continue working, so I hope my sister can do the job instead."

"That...Mr. Linguang, hello, I'm Aiyafala." Adele said a little awkwardly, and Manna gave her the feeling that she was not very easy to get along with.

Hearing Adele's greeting, Manna frowned, and said with some displeasure, "...just call me Manna, I'm not qualified to use that title yet."

"So, what is the specific reason?" Manna looked at Sarah quietly and asked, "Ms. Kuhn, you have also worked here for a long time, and I can trust you, but regarding this matter, I still I hope you can give a suitable reason."

"Because I'm pregnant." Sarah replied frankly.

"So that's it... Congratulations." Manna seemed to easily accept Sarah's words, and did not doubt whether Adele was qualified for the job at all.

He sighed and said, "Just do as you said, but Ms. Kuhn, I also know how long I can employ you."

"Maybe in the next year, maybe in a few months, I might sell this place."

"You want to sell this manor?" Sarah covered her mouth in surprise.

Adele is considered a foreigner, so she doesn't understand what it means for Manna to sell the manor, but Sarah has lived in Casimir for a long time, and she knows very well that the word "light" is used in Casimir. What does Mill stand for.

That family of knights with great military exploits and well-known to everyone, is so destitute that they want to sell their ancestral manor?

Manna nodded and said, "It is difficult for me to maintain this huge manor alone."

Although he said so, Manna's mood was far from being as calm as it appeared on his face.

For a manor of this size, the annual maintenance cost alone is not a small expense, and ordinary working-class people simply cannot afford this level of expenditure.

Sarah originally wanted to say that as long as she became a competitive knight, she wouldn't need to sell this centuries-old manor, right?

But thinking of what happened at Linguang's house three years ago, Sarah shut her mouth again.

She was also one of the witnesses of the turmoil back then. It all started because the eldest daughter of the Linguang family disregarded her family's dissuasion and participated in the Knights Championship three years ago as a competitive knight, which triggered a follow-up incident. series of events.

Old Tianma also swallowed his last breath because of this incident.

After the death of Old Tianma, the Linguang family, which could survive for a while, fell into the abyss in an instant, and the property under their name was split up by others. Now their heirs can't even keep their ancestral manor.

"It's been hard work for you all these years, Ms. Kuhn."

"This... this is what I should do."

Sarah couldn't say anything more, but she had to think about what to do after losing her job.

"However, I'm afraid I will continue to trouble you during this period of time. I won't ask more about your sister, as long as she can do her job well." Manna took a deep look at Adele. , said.

Just as Sarah was about to say something, the door of the room was knocked open with a bang.

A blond young figure broke in from the outside, shouting in a voice full of anger, "Uncle! Are you going to sell this place?"

"Sorry, I made you laugh." Manna subconsciously apologized to the two, then changed her previous kindness, and sternly reprimanded the person who broke in.

"Maria!"

"Now there are outsiders watching here, how decent is your current appearance?"

No.17 Chapter Maria

The one who broke in suddenly was a girl who was about seventeen or eighteen years old and slightly younger than Adele. Her face was still full of childishness, and her appearance was somewhat similar to that of Manna. Similar, he should also be a member of the Linguang family.

It's just... Her current attire is really unflattering, no wonder Manna scolded her for being so decent just now.

The girl did not wear colorful and beautiful clothes like her peers, but a very rustic gray-blue suspenders, which were stained with a lot of black oil stains. It looked like she just came from that house Like the workers drilled out of the mechanic shop.

It's hard to believe that this is actually the eldest lady of the Linguang family, but after thinking about how her uncle is also a social animal who works overtime, he doesn't think it's so strange.

At this time, the girl named Maria was waving a wrench in her hand, angrily arguing with her uncle about the manor, without paying any attention to Sarah and Adele next to her.

However, this is also in line with her age characteristics. Children of this age do not consider such consequences when doing things.

"Uncle! This manor is a symbol of our Linguang family! How can you sell it?"

Looking at the girl in front of her, Manna suddenly felt a headache.

Manna knew that this would happen. He didn't intend to tell Maria his plan at all, but he didn't expect her to come back at this time and just heard what he said just now.

It's... troublesome.

"The symbol of the Linguang family? Hmph, when did the Linguang family become so reduced that it needs to be represented by this kind of thing?" Manna said with a cold snort.

"But you can't just sell it like this!" Maria argued, refusing to back down an inch.

"So, what's the point of keeping this old house?"

Manna asked coldly, "Now the entire Linguang family, including your collateral aunt, there are only three people in total. It is useless to keep this old house."

"Maintaining such a vain decency is meaningless. The Linguang family has fallen, that's a fact. Maybe the Linguang family will be deprived of their noble status by the Knights Association in the near future, but even so, the family will not lose the glory."

"Isn't it all because we don't have long cavalry?" Maria couldn't listen to the other party's words at all, "As long as the family has a long cavalry recognized by the Knights Association, the association will not deprive the Linguang family of their noble titles, and we will There is no need to sell this place."

"Vanity! The glory of the Linguang family... When will it be those people's turn to admit it? ="

Manna only felt that his brain was swollen for a while, and he was already under enough pressure at work, and now he had to argue with a rebellious little girl about this kind of thing, which really made his spirit a little overwhelmed.

What makes him even more troublesome is that this kind of rebellious kid can't listen to other people's words at all, and will stubbornly think that everything is right for him, and adults who disagree with him are all idiots, and he is the only one in this world a wise man.

Who hasn't had such a time?

It's better to coax him first, after all, there are other people present now, and some family affairs are too embarrassing to discuss in front of outsiders.

Just when Manna was about to soften his attitude, he saw Maria suddenly throw the wrench in her hand on the ground, and shouted angrily, "That's not because you rejected the association's invitation, Uncle! Otherwise It's not like our family doesn't even have a knight."

"Since uncle, if you don't want to, then let me go! I will win the title of knight in the competition just like my sister!"

Maria yelled like this, as if she was about to turn around and leave.

Hearing these words, a string called 'reason' in Manna's brain was broken at this moment, and the negative emotions accumulated for a long time finally turned into anger at this moment.

"Enough!! Do you still think Linguang's family is not shameful enough?"

The turbulent evil spirit turned into a substantial storm, sweeping across the small room in an instant.

Everyone present felt as if there was a sharp sword on their throats, and their skin felt slightly tingled because of the sharpness, and they couldn't breathe in this real-like aura.

Fortunately, this situation only lasted for a short period of time. Manna soon realized her gaffe, and quickly curbed her gaffe.

As if nothing happened just now, he said calmly to Maria, "Don't forget what happened to your sister, now the Linguang family doesn't have so many connections to help you deal with the mess."

As if frightened by Manna's sudden outburst, Maria silently picked up the wrench from the ground and stopped arguing with his uncle. As for whether she listened to Manna's words just now, I'm afraid only she herself knows.

"I'll just say it's too much. Before doing something... think carefully about the consequences of doing so."

The quarrel between the uncle and nephew finally came to an end.

During this process, Adele has been staring at the girl closely. Although her face is a little dirty now, Adele can still see that her appearance is somewhat familiar.

Maria... Maria... Isn't that the name of the female knight she and Leon met in Casimir some time ago?

What's more coincidental is that the appearance of the two people is also very, very similar. The appearance of the female knight is almost the appearance of this girl when she grows up. This is probably not a coincidence...

After thinking about it, Adele felt that it would be better to tell them about this matter, and her intuition told Adele that this should be a very important matter.

"Sorry, I made you laugh just now." Taking a deep breath, Manna walked up to Sarah and the others, and said, "Just do what Ms. Kuhn said just now. I can't sell this manor, and there are still many procedures to be dealt with, so I will continue to entrust you to you during this time."

"Well, no problem, just rest assured, then we will leave first...Aiyafala?" Sarah turned around and wanted to take Adele away, but she saw Adele standing where she was. Action, a pair of hesitant to speak.

"That...Mr. Manna."

Adele said nervously, "Actually, half a month ago, when I first entered the territory of Casimir, I met a person who looked very similar to Miss Maria in an inn there."

"She said she was also called 'Maria'".

The movements of Manna's hands stopped suddenly, he stared at Adele, and asked each word after a while.

"What did you say?"

Chapter 18 Dilemma

"What does that person you see look like? Who is she with?"

Adele was taken aback by Manna's violent reaction.

She thought just now that the knight she met at the border should also be a member of the Linguang family, and it is very likely that she is the sister of this 'Maria'. She should tell her relatives out of her own feelings and reason. Just one sound.

But I didn't expect... Manna would have such a reaction.
