Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

"I found some clues from the laboratory of Ball Pharmaceuticals. They have united with some foreign races and are experimenting with some very interesting medicines with the people of Casimir. I can't tell you the specifics."

The body of Master Xuan Tie was re-decomposed into countless fine particles, which slowly drifted to other places with the flow of air.

"The proving ground is also very obvious. It's the dirtiest place in the Great Knight's collar. If you're interested, you can check it out yourself. I don't think this kind of trivial matter should bother the famous Dull Knight."

"I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

His voice became farther and farther away, and when the voice fell, Manna could no longer find traces of other people's existence in the office.

……

Everyone knows that the Dull Knight saved Casimir from crisis by assassinating the squire traitor.

But what they never knew was that the Dull Knight has always been two people.

Chapter 23 Decisions

Master Xuan Tie left just like that, leaving the right to choose to Manna, without any worry that Manna would hinder his plan.

But just like what the black iron boss said, even if the enemy's enemy is not a friend, Manna will not give such a big gift to the business union. The betrayal of a black iron boss... is enough for the business union to drink a pot of.

Or did they just use a new method to show him his flaws?

Manna silently put away the rapier and hid it under the coat again.

Just like what the Xuantie senior said, the sight staring at him like a gangrene disappeared, and the members of the Wuxuan League who watched him had been transferred to other places.

But Manna did not show any abnormalities. He cleaned up the traces left by the previous battle just like when he worked overtime until late, and then returned to his station to sort out his personal belongings, then turned and left the company .

Although he couldn't feel the eyes watching him, what if the high official Xuan Tie was watching him in person?Walking on the street in the early morning, Manna thought carefully about what happened just now.

The senior Xuantie said that Boer Pharmaceuticals was involved in foreign forces. If this is true, then the Supervision Committee has a strong hand.

Normally, it is very difficult for the China Securities Regulatory Commission to intervene in the normal commercial activities of the commercial alliance, but once the forces of other countries are involved, the nature of this matter changes. Many people can vividly remember the turmoil caused by traitors more than ten years ago. Allow this to happen again.

Ball Pharmaceuticals is one of the pillars of the commercial alliance. If they can be brought down, it is tantamount to breaking a leg of the commercial alliance. The China Securities Regulatory Commission cannot let go of such a good opportunity.

However, the possibility of this being a trap cannot be ruled out.

Then... just take a gamble, it just so happens that Margaret is also going to solve the trouble Margaret brought, and his intuition tells him that Margaret may have something to do with the Ball Pharmaceutical Laboratory that was invaded the day before yesterday.

There are not many people who can do this kind of thing, and his dear niece and her two new friends are probably one of them.

Thinking of this, Manna already had a basic decision in his heart, and he couldn't help speeding up his steps, walking towards a store that he usually goes to after get off work.

It was very late, and the store owner was about to close the door, but when the boss saw Manna rushing over, he still stopped the rolling door that was just about to be pulled down, and greeted Manna, "Yo , Come back so late today? You worked hard overtime."

"What are you going to buy this time? Is it the same as before?"

"Well, with a new business, it will be relatively busy recently." Manna replied, "Same as before, give me two bottles of wine."

"It's money."

Manna sandwiched a note between several Casimir coins and put it in the hands of the shop owner. The shop owner also touched the foreign object mixed into the coins, but his expression never changed.

Stuffing the note and coins into his pocket, the boss said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go get the wine right away."

After a while, the transaction was completed. Manna left the store with two bottles of wine. The boss also closed the shutter door and went back to rest. No third person noticed the small details that happened halfway.

Sending out that note meant that Manna had already arranged all the way out, and he could let go and do what he wanted to do.

On the way back, Manna was also thinking about such a question, where is the proving ground of Ball Pharmaceuticals that the black iron man said?

Where is the dirtiest place in the Great Knights?Could it be the city's sewer system?

Although the sewers are "dirty" in the literal sense, Manna felt that things would not be so simple. Imagine the business carried out by Ball Pharmaceuticals, and Manna quickly locked another location.

"So that's it, does it mean the arena..."

The knight arena is the dirtiest place in the Great Knights, and even in the whole of Casimir.

Gambling and murder are just insignificant corners of the knightly competition. Under the glamorous appearance, there are hidden desires and sins that ordinary people can't imagine. Just taking a breath of the air there will make Manna feel sick.

"It seems that the fat pig has done a good thing." Manna couldn't help narrowing his eyes.

In normal times, it would be very difficult for him to come into contact with knight competitions in an open and honest manner. The move of the fat minister to push him away actually helped him a lot in this situation.

That blind Agor youth... is kind of interesting.

……

[Mr Gaeksky:

Margaret may have returned to the Great Knights at this time, and I need to solve the trouble she caused as soon as possible.

In addition, I have received some unreliable news. It is said that Ball Pharmaceuticals has colluded with foreign forces. I will investigate this matter together by the way.

If anything happens to me, please ask the Maytree family to take care of the last bloodline of the Linguang family.

——Mannarius. 】

At the same time, Margaret was fidgeting and pacing back and forth in the room in a very cheap third-rate hotel in the Grand Knight's house.

At this time, she looked very different from before, her long blonde hair was dyed black, and her weather-beaten armor was taken off, and she was replaced by a crude armor with a famous athlete on it. The slogan of the knight.

She looks like a little girl who is fanatical about chasing stars. Unless someone is very familiar with her, no one will associate her with the famous "Yao Knight" of Casimir, not to mention three years have passed. Jialie has also changed a lot from before.

Liz, who was in poor health, had already fallen into a deep sleep, but Margaret never felt sleepy at all, and she didn't close her eyes at all during the past two days.

Two days have passed since Shining sneaked into Ball Pharmaceutical's research institute, and there were even related reports on the news, but Margaret has never received any news related to Shining.

The Shining had an accident?Impossible.

Margaret quickly denied her guess. Shining was still stronger than her. Even if someone discovered her infiltration, Shining would still be able to force her way out before the war knights were dispatched.

With such anxious thoughts in mind, Margaret lingered for an unknown amount of time before finally a figure quietly landed beside her.

"Shining!" Seeing that figure, Margaret finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought something happened to you."

"I was entangled by some troublesome people, and I wasted some time getting rid of them." Shining gathered the robe on his body and replied.

"That company's defense is so strong?"

"No," Shining shook his head, "Besides us, there are other people who are also eyeing that company, and those people are following me."

"So it is."

Now that the Shining Spirit has successfully returned, it means there is nothing wrong with it, and Margaret didn't worry too much about it. She quickly asked, "What about Liz? Did you find what you were looking for?"

"The information has been obtained, but... this is a little different from what I expected."

"Anyway, see for yourself."

Shining took out a small chip from his pocket and put it in Margaret's hand.

Chapter 24 I'm ready

Time passed little by little.

The news of Ball Pharmaceuticals only stayed in the public eye for two days, and then it was overwhelmed by overwhelming advertisements, and there was no news about it, and the matter seemed to be over like this.

Soon, it was time for the Cavaliers Special Championship to be officially held.

The Cavaliers Special Championship held every three years is the top event in Casimir. Countless people want to rely on this event to change their lives. This is not only the goal of countless competitive knights, but also for those merchants. , which is also a very important publicity channel.

Countless people are working hard, waiting for this day to come.

During this period of time, Renn has been helping Li Ang with targeted training. Although his strength is not as good as Li Ang's, Renn has been in the knight competition for such a long period of time. With him With the guidance of Li Ang, Li Ang can avoid many detours invisibly.

The reason why knight competition can be regarded as a competitive sport means that there are certain special rules in this sport, such as points competition, team competition, sprint competition... Different competition systems also have different rules, Rennes is the most The most important task is to make Li Ang familiar with these rules.

After all, this is related to future life, so Li Ang studied very seriously, and it didn't take long for him to get familiar with these rules.

After the opening of the special championship, all the competitions in the Grand Knights will have a common "special championship points". Through the accumulation of points in the competitions of each lower division, after accumulating to a certain level, you can get the qualification to participate in the main competition of the championship .

This is not an easy task, especially for those independent knights.Large-scale knight groups can even let subordinate knights play fake matches and transfer all the special championship points to one person to guarantee the main match, while independent knights can only save points bit by bit by themselves.

It is also Li Ang's goal to qualify for the main match of the championship.

According to his calculations, even if he didn't get a place in the main race of the major, the sponsorship money he got was enough for him to spend a long time, and it was more than enough to support him and Adele to go to the next destination.

There are not many rules for the knight competition, but the most incomprehensible thing for Li Ang is that the audience can directly intervene in the competition. As long as the audience is willing to pay, the Special Championship official will use drones to deliver the materials purchased by the audience to the arena.

In most cases, what is sent in are only props such as weapons and equipment, or similar consumables. Of course, in theory, as long as the audience spends enough money, they can even directly drop a Raytheon drone into it. , directly help the player to kill the enemy.

However, there are not so many rich people watching the knight competition at this stage, and such outrageous things have not happened yet, but it is foreseeable that if Kasimir continues to be corrupted by capital, such absurd conjectures will always exist. One day it will become a reality.

Finally, the day came for Li Ang to officially participate in the competition.

……

Wearing the armor purchased for him by Ren's boss, Li Ang had already arrived at the competition venue and was ready to go in the players' lounge.

After a period of training, he has gotten used to the weight of the armor on his body. With the sea blue paint, streamlined outer armor and Li Ang's tall figure, I have to say that this suit looks pretty good. According to Ren In my opinion, if he took off his helmet after winning the game, he should get a lot of screams from young girls.

The only problem is the advertisement of 'Bell Health Products' on the back... But since the contract has been signed, Li Ang won't say anything more.

Ren also has competitions to participate in these days, so he didn't come to accompany Li Ang. Besides Li Ang, there was also the mysterious Mr. Manner in the players' lounge.

Li Ang has been with him for a while. During this time, the other party is very conscientious. From time to time, he will come to discuss matters related to knight competition with Li Ang. It seems that he has fully integrated into the role of agent, but Li Ang still can't figure it out. Find out what this guy is thinking.

At this time, Manna took the official notice issued by the Special Championship, walked up to Li Ang and asked, "Mr. Li, there is still half an hour before the start of the game, are you ready?"

"I'm ready."

"Then, in addition to the basic rules of the team competition, this competition adopts the points plundering system. What you have to do is to avoid being attacked by other contestants while killing all opponents as much as possible. If it hits, the corresponding points will be deducted."

After introducing the basic situation, Manna thought for a while and said, "In fact, such a rule is very unfavorable to you. You can completely refuse this competition."

Unlike other games where there is no penalty for losing, points are really deducted in this kind of point-grabbing game. How can a pure novice like Li Ang get points deducted?If you exit with a negative score, you will be completely disqualified from participating in the main match.

"Isn't this also an opportunity to gain a lot of points at once?" Li Ang didn't have such worries at all, "I have confidence in my own strength."

Apart from this special competition system, there is no way to earn points quickly in ordinary competitions, and one can only play slowly one by one.

However, in competitions like this, a certain knight group usually arranges for their seeded players to come and harvest independent knight points, but no matter how good these seeded players are, can there be a tower warlock?

Li Ang expressed doubts about this.

"All right……"

At this time, the announcement to inform the players to enter the arena had sounded. Seeing that Li Ang was so confident, Manna shut up and stopped talking.

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to ask you."

When Li Ang was about to go to the competition venue, he suddenly remembered something, so he took out two pure source stones from the hidden compartment of the armor, and stuffed them into Manna's hands.

"Bets are allowed in this match, right? Just bet on me to win these two pure origin stones. If I remember correctly, this kind of thing is not a violation for the first time."

Contestants bet on themselves, which is definitely a taboo in the eyes of the business union, but the only exception is the first bet on oneself to win, which can be regarded as a gift from the business union to the new star knight.

But this kind of good thing only happens once, if you don't know the fun and want to come again, you will receive close care from the business alliance, this kind of thing has already become an unspoken rule in the knight competition.

"...It's not against the rules." Manna nodded hesitantly, "However, the odds of this kind of game are very low, even if you bet all the money, you won't make much money."

"It counts as much as you can earn." Li Ang waved his hand, turned around and walked out of the players' lounge, "The competition is about to start, I'll leave this to you."

Looking at the slowly closing door of the lounge, a flash of light flashed in Manna's eyes, Qian... Is it? "

If it's money, he can actually take out a lot.

But... everything will have to wait until the dust of this game has settled.

Manna wanted to see if the strength of this Agor youth met his requirements.

Chapter 25 Preliminaries

Casimir Grand Knight Leader, Arena [-] in the Western Division.

The sun hangs high in the sky, but the sunshine does not give much warmth. The current temperature is close to minus [-] degrees, and even the bitter cold wind cannot extinguish the enthusiasm in the Casimir Center.

Even in such a fringe competition area, the auditorium is still full of spectators.

These people couldn't get tickets for the large arena, so they could only come to this remote arena to enjoy their eyesight, but even so, it was always hard to find tickets for the No. [-] arena.

All the places that can be seen on the arena are filled with advertisements and trademarks from various sponsors. At first glance, there are no gaps.

At this moment, the match was about to start. Before the knights officially entered the arena, the atmosphere in the auditorium was already boiling. The screams and yells stirred up people's nerves. Ordinary people simply couldn't keep calm in this environment.

Numerous drones are on standby above the arena. They not only need to capture every move of each player, but also shoulder the important task of delivering "support" for each player.
