Morning in the Tower of Swords
Page 241
After all, the real crux of Casimir has never been the exaggerated knight performance that discards glory, nor is it the extremely commercialized national industry, but the capital group that manipulates all these crazy bloodsuckers.
If one day this country faces a life-and-death war again, they will never be able to repay their wealth, they will only transfer assets in advance and then continue to suck blood from another country.
So even if Qiao Ge uses the "magic" of capital to deal with "magic", as long as it belongs to procedural justice and the goals achieved are rooted in the rights and interests of the general public, then it must be good "magic"!
However, the problem that arises from this is that, with the presence of the Knights of Glory, there are obviously more fans of wife lovers who are not afraid of the majesty of the knights with wrists. Quoting to pursue Linguang, the invitation to the duel was even handed over to Jogo.
Jogo: "..."
Damn it, where are there so many Cao thieves? !
Qiao Ge didn't intend to pay attention to this group of people, because most of them probably came here to provoke trouble deliberately, some were sent by the Chamber of Commerce to seduce him for off-court fouls, and some were clearly pursuing Linguang, but in fact they wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble. Howe Knight has a duel to prove that he is unrivaled in sliding shoveling.
But it was the small number of real Cao thieves that made Qiao Ge vigilant. It wasn't that he didn't have confidence in his wrist strength and charm, but that he just heard that the beverage company under the Chamber of Commerce had recently launched a "sleep" drink , known as helping people with insomnia to sleep peacefully, or helping alcoholics find the feeling of drinking to gradually quit alcoholism.
But in fact, how could such a lie deceive a top medical company in Terra like Rhodes Island?People with insomnia should not use drugs to fall asleep, and try to use natural conditioning methods to restore normal work and rest. It is really a pathological reason, so they must follow the doctor's advice. How can they anesthetize themselves with a bottle of unknown ingredients?
As for abstaining from alcohol, the real addicts are alcohol dependent. If they don’t drink alcohol, they will be "all over the body", and they can even drink medical alcohol and antifreeze on a rusty nail. There is an essential difference between falling asleep directly.
If one could really quit drinking with the feeling of drowsiness, Gavial would have already been a master of sobriety.
Therefore, the actual use of this drink is obvious. It is nothing more than the drink that Warfarin tried to trick him into drinking one by one. Drinking a whole barrel of the dose, as long as a golden radish can immediately return to normal.
But what about loli, young girls, royal sisters, wives, young women, queens, and...boys who were harmed by this drink?Will they have magical props like golden radishes, or will they have a powerful hero to save themselves?
Of course it is possible!
"In such a filthy city, when the law cannot punish the evil, there must be an avenger hidden in the dark night to make the evil fearful, make the lawbreakers pay the price, and make the badge of justice in the night sky bright forever! Invite our lone... lone dark hero, Platinum Sintraya!"
Smack slap slap slap slap!
There was warm applause in the hall of the manor. Platinum, who was enjoying such treatment for the first time, seemed a little uncomfortable. He twisted the bowstring on his chest with both hands in embarrassment, pretending to lower his head to adjust the equipment.
Some of the people below were booing after Qiao Ge, such as Xia Guang and Auntie, and some people were unaware of this, such as the two little Song Xu knights who let the former assassins of the Wuxi League single out the entire Wuxu League, Can this kind of combat really work?
Even though she used to be a platinum leader, the Wuzhou League still has three black irons and two green golds who are stronger than her, doesn't it?Not to mention that during the past six months of her disappearance, the vacant Platinum position must have been filled by others.
Platinum didn't know that the Red Pine Knights had doubts about her, and she just waited quietly for the applause to subside before voicing her question to the doctor.
"Is it really necessary to add so many prefixes, doctor? Do I have to show them before I launch an attack?"
"Although you don't need to approach them in person, since you are the avenger in the dark night, you must make your name a fear in the hearts of the Wuzhou League. Aren't there many ways to make an appearance? For example, holographic projection equipment, and Your soon-to-be assistant... 'Robin'."
Platinum looked up following Jogo's pointing, and saw a balloon floating around on the ceiling. At first she thought it was deliberately placed by the doctor to enhance the atmosphere, but now she realized that it didn't seem to be a balloon. because……
It flew directly through the wall to the outside, and then flew back through it and flew to this side, staring at Platinum with a pair of small red eyes.
It is the "Robin" of the ghost + flight department, a wind-following ball commonly known as ghost balloon or ghost balloon.
On the night after the opening ceremony, a high-end dinner was held in the "Wall of Champions" exhibition hall. In addition to the directors of the Chamber of Commerce, representatives of various companies, celebrities from all walks of life, and the news media, there were highly popular special guests The guest foreign knight of Letania, "Candle Knight" Viviana Droste will also be invited to attend.
The ridiculous thing is that the Wall of Champions is clearly a place to display the portraits of the champions of previous knight competitions. Except for Candle Knight, none of the people present are current or previous competitive knights, and the value of Candle Knight here is basically limited to Her business role, not the game record.
Even the champion Yao Knight, who had her place in the portrait on the wall, was excluded from this group of people. It can be seen that the competitive knight has no honor and status in the eyes of this group of business directors, and is just a tool for making money. .
When you have opened a car repair shop and achieved success, so you want to entertain your friends to share your joy, and try to get more business by the way, you will bring your whole set of car repair tools to the wine table ?Of course not, and apparently the same is true for business federations.
The reason why Candle Knight is an exception is because she is a nobleman from Letania, and making her show off is beneficial to certain trade agreements that the Chamber of Commerce hopes to reach with Letania. Of course, the image of Candle Knight itself is also extremely important.
It was a kind of beauty that cannot be described in words. Her eyes only reflected her own intoxicating candlelight. Tonight, flowers will also bloom for her. This is the beauty and elegance of ordinary people when they first see Candle Knight. When thinking about it, the thoughts generated in the brain will be automatically Tomified.
Of course, such a "star-studded" formation is also a great pressure for the Wuyu League personnel in charge of the dark sentinel, especially after being frightened by the "Pegasus drone" in the arena during the day, they now look up at the sky Each of the stars looks like a bomb that Rhodes Island is about to drop.
But in fact, both the directors of the Chamber of Commerce and the black iron and green gold killers understand that it is only a psychological effect. As a pharmaceutical company, Rhodes Island, no matter how powerful it is, cannot do such a thing, because it is no longer a business. Instead of a dispute, it represents an enemy of Casimir's entire country.
But... do you think that Rhodes Island really dare not do it?
-------------------------------------------
"Miss Drost, regarding the matter I mentioned to you about the association's arrangement, a director will come to ask for your answer soon, and I want to remind you one last time..."
In the guest lounge on the second floor of the exhibition hall of the Champions Wall, McGee, a spokesman for Candle Knights sent by the federation, leaned forward and blocked Candle Knight Viviana who was about to attend the banquet, just like her manager He tried to persuade her that way, but Candle Knight didn't seem to intend to change his mind.
Because what the federation wanted her to cooperate with was to make her turn a blind eye to the competition team's frame-up of Yao Knight on the field, so that she could defeat Yao Knight and make her lose.
"No need to mention it again, McGee, I will not agree. Two knights meet in the arena, hoping to have a fair and just contest. Isn't this something unreasonable?"
"...No, you are quite right, but... under the control of the federation, the final result will never change, so the defeat of Yao Knight by your hands is already the best choice I can get, At least your kindness will ensure her life."
In fact, the reason McGee said is typical capital hypocrisy, but he did not lie about one thing. In order to win the "honor" for Candle Knight to defeat Yao Knight, McGee did put in a lot of effort, because He is the son of Kane, the chairman of the Rose Newspaper Group, and one of the second-generation children of the directors of the Federation.
Even the job as Candle Knight's spokesperson was an opportunity for McGee to "fight" among a bunch of Candle Knight admirers in their second-generation circle out of love for Candle Knight.
But at least McGee is not the kind of second-generation ancestor who is simply greedy for other people's bodies. Instead, he sincerely shares the worries of Candle Knight with his excellent professional quality. He just takes advantage of this opportunity to get to know her better by the way, and then tries to do what he likes. .
Although so far, he still hasn't really understood the Leitania poems that Candle Knight likes.
"Good intentions? Is it good intentions to let a knight lose the honor that is more important than life? Do you even support their decision, McGee?"
"In order to prevent the situation from getting worse...in order not to give the Correctional Council any more excuses, yes, I must support this decision."
Although McGee couldn't bear to say such words to Candle Knight, he also knew that his personal feelings could not change the decision of his superiors. His status as a second-generation child had already determined that he had to unconditionally support the Federation.
And now the priority of suppressing Rhode Island is obviously far higher than all other proposals within the federation.
"I'm very disappointed in you, McGee. When I was young, I used to think that my hometown and Casimir could accommodate the coexistence of romance and glory. Now it seems...even you can't tolerate it... You can leave first, I will continue to think about it."
"...Yes, I understand, Miss Drost."
McGee, who has a high EQ, knows very well that Candle Knight will probably not change his mind, and just give him a step to leave this embarrassing situation, but McGee doesn't want to leave in his heart, because he knows that once he leaves this room, the two will be together forever. When we meet again, there will only be business relationships left, not even friends.
But McGee had no choice, because everything he had was endowed by the Federation, and he couldn't be the hero in a romance novel who broke up with his family and eloped with his lover for love, not to mention Candle Knight's feelings for him were also different. It has not reached that level, and now it is only at the level of appreciation and it has been declared over.
After the spokesperson McKee left, Viviana leaned on the soft seat rather weakly. Under the bright moonlight from the window, her figure was more like the sad and delicate beauty in the oil painting, rather than a figure. A vigorous knight.
"In this era, is it destined that there will be no glory of knights? Just like the beauty of poetry is also destined not to be understood by most people, perhaps because of its impracticality.
There are no heroes in this world who can save the world, let alone knights of justice who break the darkness with their own power, there are only stronger than them, intertwined desires that cannot be resisted, dimming the candlelight until it goes out..."
Boom!
Just when Viviana was anxious about the current situation, and at the same time she was suffering from Wenqing disease every day, talking to herself about her distress, there was a soft sound like a straw puncturing the plastic film cover behind her. A feathered arrow that seemed to be made of black ice slanted into the red wine table in front of her.
But what is surprising is that there is only a small arrow-shaped hole on the window glass made of ordinary materials, and the rest of the window glass does not even have a trace of cracking. Draw out slowly.
Even though Viviana's reaction was extremely quick, she had pulled out the sword at her waist and turned around when she realized that there was an archer, but someone still pointed a sharp arrow at the back of her neck.
"Don't move, Miss Candle Knight."
"...Are you the killer sent by the Federation to deal with me?"
"Federation? It's not anymore! I'm white... Cough, cough, um, let me officially declare that I am the incarnation of flying revenge, to make evil fearful, to make lawbreakers pay the price, and to make the badge of justice in the night sky eternal Bright night undead, Platinum Star!"
Although these words sound childish and ridiculous at first, the voice from behind is like a mouthful of old phlegm stuck in the throat... Ah, no, it is like shrouded in a horrible swamp fog, and it is impossible to distinguish between men, women, and children. It is a human or a ghost, giving people a full sense of crisis.
It seems that as long as you dare to laugh out loud, there will be something cursed in the shape of a bat inserted into your waist.
"Star, Platinum?"
Viviana has also heard of the title of star knight or something, and of course she has heard of the platinum leader of the Wuzhou League, but what kind of stitching monster is the platinum star?
And that long list of prefixes, don't you really think that you are some kind of chivalrous night thief?
Although deep down in every woman's heart, she hopes that her dreams will come true, but she has already been hit by reality too many times, and just a moment ago she was still talking to herself that there would be no righteous heroes in this world, and the next Flying Revenge and Dark Undead, who claimed to be preaching justice, appeared in seconds. Wouldn't it be too coincidental?
Therefore, Viviana is more willing to believe that this is still a trap of the Chamber of Commerce, but it is not to assassinate her, but to use other methods to force her to submit.
Of course, there is also a slight possibility that the other party is her admirer and broke into the room just to create a dramatic "encounter" with her, but Weiwei Anna personally thinks that this is almost impossible.
Because the Candle Knight is not a guard or heavy armor like other foolish knights wearing full armor, but a high-level magician educated by the noble elite of Letania.
Although it doesn't have the same power as the Lamb's toilet water volcanic eruption, its operation is more delicate and skillful, and it is a high-end actual combat technique that can be matched with its own swordsmanship. It is very different from Eyjafala's origin stone technique, which basically belongs to the academic school.
As McGee said before, this is not the first time he has mentioned to Candle Knight about framing Yao Knight, and it is not the first time Viviana has expressed his refusal. After learning that the Federation may take some action against him In such a situation, she, a practical magician, would of course take precautions.
The four corners and the wine table in front of her each had a candle inserted in a candlestick. The flickering candlelight made the whole room look quite romantic, but at the same time it also made it look like a typical Sarkaz Gorefiend's castle.
The reason why the word typical is added is of course because the Rhode Island guys are extremely atypical, and the concepts should not be confused.
And the candlelight of these candles is exactly the casting unit of the Candle Knight, and even the candlelight scattered all around is also an early warning mechanism set up by her. Once someone without her permission is cast into shadow by the candlelight, it will be automatically triggered, but None of these measures had any effect on the "Platinum Star".
Therefore, Viviana believed that this is a top assassin with superb concealment skills. If her admirer really has this quality, is there still a need to play this kind of trick?It is estimated that any official organization in any country can win a higher actual status than her, right?
However, Viviana never seems to have considered a question, what if the other party has no shadow at all?
"I suggest you stop thinking about it, Ms. Candle Knight, the target of my trip is not you, but I just hope you can cooperate with me to answer a few questions. First, are the directors of the business association all in the exhibition hall downstairs? "
"...You don't want to attack them, do you?"
"Stop talking nonsense! I ask you to answer, don't try to delay!"
"Well, although theoretically all directors will attend tonight's banquet, most of them just come to let the reporters take a picture and then leave. If you go down and watch now, it is estimated that there are less than one-third of the board of directors. present."
Although Viviana is telling the truth, her statement is obviously considered carefully. She just doesn't want the "Platinum Star" behind her to launch an attack on these directors. It is not an act of justice.
And even if it’s useless to just kill the directors, they have heirs, at most they will only temporarily delay the pace of the federation, and in the overall situation, state agencies such as the Casimir National Council and the Supervisory Institute will have to cooperate with the federation. They will stand on the same stand and unanimously oppose KB doctrine, and there are more capital shady operations in it.
"Very good, the second question, the group of hangers from the Wuxuan League... Cough, how many of the Wuxuan League's Xuantie and Qingjin are here?"
"This is not something that a little knight like me can know. After all, Wuyumeng is a famous knight killer."
"...Forget it, anyway, I don't care, so the last question, Ms. Candle Knight, I heard that you have some troubles recently. Instead of lamenting the times here, the charity that spent a lot of money was slandered by unscrupulous media. Hundreds of male favorites, are you interested in doing something meaningful?"
Sure enough, Viviana sighed in her heart, the other party had spent so much effort, and finally revealed her true purpose of wanting to test her. If there is a problem with the answer, maybe she will do it directly, right?
"Then what is a meaningful thing? And how can I conclude that what I am doing is meaningless? My value is in my heart, not in those newspapers that don't know what to say."
"I see, I understand..."
boom! !
Just at this time, there was another movement from the window behind him. Unlike the quiet volume before, this time it was a loud noise that the entire glass was shattered. A feathered arrow shot straight at Platinum's back, as if wanting to To kill her on the spot.
Although it is more than one layer behind Platinum in terms of concealment, the power of the skills wrapped around it cannot be underestimated at all. Even ordinary thick knight armor probably cannot block this arrow, let alone a person with only thin clothes on his body. platinum.
But Weiwei Anna didn't know the reason, she subconsciously thought it was a signal of "Platinum Star" violently attacking, so she turned forward vigorously and pulled away the arrow on the back of her neck, and In mid-air, he took advantage of the situation and slashed backwards with his sword.
But when she looked back and saw Bai Jin's young and beautiful female face and the pure white Pegasus features, her face froze for a moment, but she couldn't take back the sword she swung.
Platinum became the cheese caught in the middle in an instant. If it had been the position of Platinum before, this would have been her fate, but now, she just showed a rather weird arc from the corner of her mouth.
Using the words the doctor taught her to describe, this is called the appearance of the dragon king, and it is usually a sign that she is about to start pretending to be aggressive.
The blade slashed across Platinum's abdomen obliquely, while the arrow's point pierced her back. The two attacks passed by without any sense of flesh blocking the bone, not even a bit of "blood" flower beer splashed out. It just picked up two waves of hazy and illusory mist, like the messenger fragrance that the lady of Leitania liked to use in the room.
