About Me Being Picked Up by Tallulah for Adoption

Like... a real [knight], low-key and humble, simple and simple.

"any solution?"

Zofia asked curiously, and came up with a solution in such a short time, it must be an even more outrageous operation than her own, right?

"There is a saying in Yan Country that a friend in need is a friend. If Maria doesn't know what to do, then create a scene where she has to make a choice."

"Create a scene?"

Zofia frowned, not knowing what Orson was referring to.

The plastic knight also rubbed his eyebrows. According to common sense, he should have left this farce long ago and went back to accompany his child, but for some reason, he didn't turn around and leave immediately.

...I must have wanted to see what else this guy named Orson could do.

The plastic knight comforted himself in this way, and at the same time, Orson also revealed his "plan".

"—Huh!? Don't do it, I definitely won't do it!"

"Are you kidding...?"

After hearing Orson's 'plan', Zofia and Sekiak rejected it in unison.

——— Linguang House———

"Aha!"

Maria waved the shield in her hand in the living room, and then stabbed out the knight sword held in her right hand.

Although she kept repeating the most basic posture, Maria couldn't calm down in her heart, and even her movements revealed a sense of impetuousness.

When Wind Howl was guarding the headquarters, Maria met the current leader of the Wind Howl Knights, who had some intersections with her family.

According to that leader, he originally wanted to invite Maria to join the Howling Knights according to the order of the company boss.But the leader of the Howling Knights told Maria, "It's best to stop what you're doing now, you're just consuming the only remaining glory of your family."

The name [Linguang] has a special meaning, and these older generation of knights seem to dislike the Linguang family's meddling in knight competition.

"Uncle once said that my actions are only discrediting the family...but I obviously want to help the family to continue—"

Maria stopped exercising. She looked at the knight sword in her hand, which was once used by her sister Margaret for training, and her eyes were a little confused.

"Maria!"

"Orson? Why... um!?"

Before Maria had time to be sad for too long, Orson suddenly rushed into the room and interrupted Maria.

"It's not good, Auntie—Auntie, she was taken away!"

"……what?"

Maria blinked her eyes, and seemed a little confused about the situation for a while.

Orson took out his phone and saw a short video playing on the screen.

"--aunt!"

The light in the video was a bit dim, but Maria could still see the picture clearly.

'Whipblade Knight' Zofia no longer had the high-spirited temperament she used to have. Her eyes were blocked by blindfolds, her hands were tightly bound and she was hung in mid-air, a piece of cloth was roughly stuffed in her mouth, and she was rudely beaten. bound.

The weapons and equipment around me don't know where they went, and there are traces of blood on the aunt's white skin. All I can see around me are all kinds of horrible hardware tools, and a limited edition puppy Pello in the corner. Toy Bear.

Maria tried not to let herself think about where those hardware tools were going to be used. She looked at Orson in a panic, her eyes full of helplessness.

After all, Maria was just an underage girl, and she had never experienced such a situation with her relatives.

"Let's keep reading."

Orson motioned for Maria to calm down first, and the short video continued to be played.

"Maria Linguang—the current knight of the Linguang family."

A male figure appeared on the screen, and Maria immediately recognized the man's true identity—the plastic knight Sekiak.

"Mr. Plastic Knight? What the hell is going on...!?"

"You saw this video, right? Then you should already understand the situation of the Whipblade Knight. I don't have much time, so let's make a long story short."

The plastic knight in the video walked up to Zofia and picked up the pliers on the table next to her.

"I noticed today that you had a conversation with the Knight Commander of the Knight Order, and I am very clear about the content of your conversation—are you invited by the Howling Knight Order? Congratulations, but this is out-and-out for me bad news."

"That's not what the knight commander and I talked about! And I don't plan to join..."

"Calm down, Maria. The point now is not 'what choices did you make', but 'what did the plastic knight think you did', which made him feel a crisis about his situation."

Orson explained to Maria with a serious expression.

"In order for you to quickly gain exposure, the Knights will transfer points from internal knights to those popular knights. I know very well that your arrival will destroy all the points, contacts, resources, and status I have accumulated so hard."

"So, let's make a deal, sister of Yao Knight. Bring your competition badge to this address, destroy it in front of me, and get out of this game forever-or, prepare your aunt's grave .”

"how come……"

Maria looked a little panicked, while Orson immediately moved the phone away.

At the end of the short video, after the plastic knight uttered the word "aunt", the 'hostage' Zofia directly got up and kicked Sergiak, and then accused the other party of not being able to clean the ketchup squeezed on her.The two quarreled just like that, and Orson, the video shooter, went over in a panic to persuade the fight, and was then sandwiched between the two of them as a punching bag.

This is Orson's 'way': simulating extreme encounters.

Perhaps it was a little sorry for deceiving Maria in this way, but this was the fastest way to help her discover her true inner thoughts.

The only problem is-

After the matter is over, the guy tied up in the video will probably become himself.

And the 'torturer' next to her is Maria Zofia, the plastic knight, and depending on the situation, she might even fool Tallulah Kelsey, Rosemary and the others over...

Because Maria was confused about her goal, she stagnated and hesitated as she is now.

And Orson gradually began to feel confused about his behavior of coming to Casimir.

In the original plan, his identity would be a "mysterious and powerful infected knight", appearing from a hidden corner unknown to everyone, using gorgeous and handsome Originium skills, and maintaining a high level of "silence" from beginning to end. Cold personality.

Assaulting the throne of the knight competition with a crushing posture, and finally attracting everyone's attention at the moment he ate spinach and made a lot of money and ran at the speed of light, leaving only his brother's legend in the arena.

but now……

Orson became more and more suspicious of whether he was here to be Bi Mawen, and he was the kind who would fill up the hatred of the girls around him. "Maria, you have a pair of Pegasus pupils."

In my memory, my grandfather always had a serious expression.That was not a frown, but more like the unique vicissitudes and indifference after witnessing countless winds and frosts.

When Maria was a child, she still couldn't understand how great her grandpa was. She only knew that he seemed to have been on many battlefields and won all the time.In addition, Grandpa is also an omnipotent existence.

Whether it's dealing with people, fighting, taking care of the family business, or dealing with documents that he can't understand, grandpa can keep things in order.But such a powerful person never asked himself to "become" a certain kind of existence. He just let Maria be free to grow according to her own ideas.

After Margaret became the Yao Knight and caused an uproar, Grandpa's physical condition gradually deteriorated, and he even needed to lie in bed all day long.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry... I don't have as good fighting skills as my sister."

Maria felt sorry for the fact that she didn't have the same strength as Margaret to justifiably say the name "Linguang", but Grandpa still didn't blame herself.

"You have a different radiance than Margaret, Maria. Besides, you don't have to continue on this path. Fighting knights, competitive knights—your future can be completely different from ours."

"Choose what you want to do, remember, you are you, Maria."

In my impression, Grandpa said something to himself, but now he has somewhat forgotten it. The only thing Maria remembers clearly is the phrase "Your future can be completely different from others."

Can I...can I choose another path?

Back to reality, Maria patted her cheeks and looked at the abandoned building in front of her.

According to the address in the short video of Plastic Knight, Maria came to this building.

Buildings such as 'abandoned dangerous buildings' exist in almost every town in the world of Terra.Natural disasters strike suddenly, and the city-state moves often lead to the forced abandonment of originally scheduled real estate.

"Orson...?"

Looking at the dangerous building in front of her, Maria called Orson's name in a low voice worriedly.

"Behind you."

"Huh?! I was shocked..."

Maria was taken aback by Orson's 'sudden appearance'.The boy seemed to appear out of nowhere.

After all, when he was in Qiecheng, and when he was Zaolu's bodyguard, what Orson did the most was to secretly deal with the blind guys, so he also had a way of concealing and covering up traces, unless the opponent had anti-reconnaissance capabilities Strong, otherwise hard to find.

"Don't worry, now that you're here, let's meet this guy and see what he wants to do. I'll monitor the surrounding area as much as possible."

Orson comforted and encouraged Maria, who nodded vigorously, but her inner confusion became more obvious.

Participating in the knight competition by myself... What is it for?If it was to protect the Linguang family, then Zofia's current situation...

Although she knew that now was not the time to hesitate and be confused, Maria still couldn't make up her mind, so she arrived at the first floor of the abandoned building.

"Mr. Serkiak..."

Maria looked at the fully armed plastic knight in front of her with a nervous and confused tone.

"You actually came here by yourself—this is even more illustrative: you don't have any 'characteristics' to participate in knightly competitions at all, and your registration for the competition is a mistake for anyone."

The plastic knight fiddled with the crossbow in his hand, his tone slightly mocking.

"The leader of the Howling Knights said the same thing to me at that time... He said that I should not participate in knight competitions at all, and I don't have any characteristics of being a competitive knight... I, I am a little confused now, in short , where is Auntie!"

Maria forced herself not to think about the words of the plastic knight and the leader of the howling guard before, and there was only one thing she had to do now, and that was to ensure Zofia's safety.

"In that room over there."

The plastic knight pointed to the locked room beside him.

"Here is the knight badge you want, please release my aunt!"

Maria took out the badge that symbolized her eligibility for the competition, while the plastic knight shrugged.

"I've changed my mind. Even if you participate in the knight competition, it won't have any impact. It's better for you to die here honestly. The little girl who can't distinguish her own position, and——you have violated your own past. A promise to come, right?"

"!?"

The plastic knight suddenly raised the crossbow in his hand and pointed it at Maria. Before Maria could react, Orson's screams suddenly came from not far away.

"Cough--!!"

"Orson!?"

The black-haired boy fell to the ground in embarrassment from mid-air, and his right wrist was pierced by a crossbow arrow.
