Crocodile's Ark of Tomorrow

"Sorry, aunt, I was wrong!"

The ass was slapped, and little Maria looked tearful. She secretly looked at Gard, thinking that Gard was too disrespectful.

He actually betrayed her!

"It's in vain that I treat you so well at ordinary times, and you're just so promising?"

Zofia reprimanded, but in the blink of an eye, she saw Gard running to the table with the black knight's mace, holding a wine glass, and sat down.

Zofia couldn't turn the corner all of a sudden.

Isn't Gard her boyfriend?Why leave her alone and go to hook up with other girls?Aren't you afraid that she will be angry?

"Is that how you came here?"

"if not?"

Gard took the mace's wine bottle and poured himself a glass of red wine.

"I'm here to drink with you. How can I leave the Lord alone and do other things?"

Besides, I have nothing to do with her.

Although Zofia misunderstood, Gard didn't think it was a big problem.

Anyway, he won't stay in Casimir for too long. When he leaves Casimir, can Zofia chase him to Colombia?

"Humph~"

Mace gently shook the red wine in the glass, watching the red liquid in the transparent glass shake, reflecting her slightly lazy appearance.

She doesn't really care if she has someone to accompany her. Anyway, she has been here for so many years, because there is one more person sitting across from the wine table, will it make any difference?

Just a whim.

Gard and Mace sat opposite each other, but they didn't chat. The two were not close friends, especially Gard, who was dragged from the bed by Mace. It would be nice to have a glass of wine together for the sake of saving face.

The originally noisy tavern suddenly became quiet. When Zofia first saw Gard looking for a mace, Zofia thought that she was an unkind person, but this crocodile man is actually the kind of philanderer who loves the other.

But on closer inspection, it turns out that's not the case at all.

Although the two drank, they did not communicate, as if they were just strangers sitting at the same wine table.

"What's the matter with them?"

Zofia whispered, she wanted to go to Garde a little bit, but found that even if she passed, there was no topic to communicate with Garde.

Gard may have investigated her, but she doesn't know Gard at all!

For the first time, Zofia felt that her decision was a bit hasty. How could she agree to be someone else's girlfriend the third time she met? Will people mistakenly think that she is that kind of frivolous woman?

Zofia was thinking, when she suddenly heard a "squeak".

A golden figure pushed open the door of the tavern and walked in from the outside.

"Sorry, I see the door is open."

Seeing the person coming, Zofia immediately showed a happy expression on her face.

"Margaret, you are finally here!"

"Uncle is taking care of Grandpa, at least he won't have extra work today, but we have to go back before noon, are Grandpa Fogwald and Grandpa Koval here?"

"We are here, Margaret, when was the last time we met?"

The old man Kuranta and the Ursus bear man who were sitting on the table walked in, raised the wine glass in their hands, and said happily.

"It was half a year ago, when Maria and my aunt and I went to the knight workshop of the knight order."

The blond Kuranta girl smiled in the direction of the two old men.

Both Fogwald and Koval were knights who fought with her grandfather Cyril Linguang. In the past, they were all retainers of the Linguang family.

As the eldest daughter of the Linguang family, it is necessary for her to visit these retired old people during the New Year.

However, when she saw her aunt Zofia and her younger sister Maria, Margaret also saw Gard and Mace sitting in another corner.

Margaret would not find it strange that any of them appeared here alone, but she couldn't figure out how these two people got together.

"them......"

Margaret hesitated to speak, it was fine if she didn't mention it, but Zofia couldn't help but feel a little sour when she mentioned it.

"Who knows."

Zofia said sourly.

"Anyway, the two of them came together."

"Aunt, you are jealous..."

Before little Maria could utter her words, she was gagged by Zofia, stared at by Zofia's almost murderous eyes, and little Maria had no choice but to swallow her own words back into her stomach.

'Aunt, how terrible! '

How could Zofia tell Margaret that her boyfriend, whom she had just met, was drinking with other women instead of staying with her?

She lost all face as an elder!

"Margaret, I heard that you are currently participating in the knight competition?"

On the wine table, Kuranta's old knight suddenly spoke.

"Yes, Grandpa Fogwald, I want to do something. If this continues, the Linguang family may lose the name of the knight family."

"The Linguang family was actually removed from the knight family. This kind of joke is not funny. Even if those businessmen have problems with their brains, do they even have problems with their minds?"

The white-haired bear man of Ursus yelled in his own loud voice.

"Kowal, shut up!"

The old man Kuranta sternly said that now Casimir is controlled by two forces, one is the Chamber of Commerce headed by merchants, and the other is the Supervisory Council represented by the Conquest Knights and Knight Families.

The former controls the economic lifeline of Casimir, while the latter is a symbol of Casimir's force.

Since the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, the two sides have been intriguing. If the most famous Linguang family in Casimir can be removed from the ranks of the Knights, in the eyes of most merchants in the Chamber of Commerce, this is undoubtedly an unprecedented victory. .

As a victim of Casimir's political struggle, if the Linguang family does not want to lose their title of knight, they must have an official knight recognized by the National Council.

Either become a war knight and be protected by the Correctional Council.

Either become a participating knight and get a title in the knight competition.

The Linguang family is not willing to join forces with the current corrupt knights, nor is it willing to become a "clown" for people to watch in competitions. This is the dilemma that the Linguang family is facing.

However, facing the predicament, Margaret Linguang finally made a choice.

She wants to participate in the knight competition, not only to participate in the knight competition, but also to win the knight competition. With the influence of the knight competition champion, she can do things that she wants to do but can't do.

The premise is that she can defeat her opponent!

"Margaret, go and have a look."

The old man of Kuranta said.

"Leaving aside that Adacles man named Garde, that little girl from Caprini is the real champion of the three-time knight competition. As the eldest daughter of the Linguang family, since you have participated in the knight competition, you have to face To her, to defeat her!"

"I will."

Margaret took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards the wine table of Gard and Mace.

Just after taking two steps, he met Mace's gaze head-on.

Mace was willing to drink with Gard because of Gard's appearance, which indirectly saved her from the Chamber of Commerce. If she didn't want to, no one could force her.

From Mae's point of view, Margaret, who came from the Linguang family, was better than those titled knights who entered the knight championship.

But only good.

She didn't invite Margaret, so Margaret was not qualified to sit down in front of her.

However, looking at her with a mace, Margaret came to the side of the wine table and looked at Gard: "Mr. Gard, long time no see, I haven't been able to say before, thank you for healing Aunt Zofia's arm."

Margaret didn't seem to see the mace. Since the Black Knight didn't welcome her, there was no need for her to put a hot face on her cold butt. She just came to thank Gard.

"It's just been a few days, not too long." Gard said, "As for the gift, Miss Zofia has already given it."

"Is it."

There was a hint of strangeness in Margaret's eyes, but she didn't really care about the specific thank you gift from Aunt Zofia.

"If you don't mind, Mr. Gard, I would like to invite Mr. Gard to our house as a guest. In fact, I have always been curious about things other than Casimir, whether it is the prosperity of Colombia or the enthusiasm of Sargon. Things I don't understand."

"Miss Linguang, have you thought about going out to get to know her?"

"Get out, leave Casimir?"

Hearing Gard's words, Margaret was stunned for a moment. All she knew about countries other than Casimir was limited to books.

She wanted to get to know him in the past, but never thought of leaving Kasimir.

For Gard's proposal, Margaret was a little moved, but finally shook her head.

"I can't leave Casimir now."

"How do you know if you don't try it?"

Gard looked at Margaret, but did not tell her final fate.

Sometimes leaving is not a bad thing. If a person wants to grow, he must go through many hardships.

There are many things that cannot be felt without experiencing them or witnessing them with your own eyes.

Without giving Margaret any time to think, Gard changed the topic.

"However, if it's the invitation from the Linguang family, I'd be more than happy to accept it, but if my identity is known by outsiders and connected with interested people, it may not be a good thing for your Linguang family."

"Mr. Gard, what is your identity?"

"I'm the deputy director of the defense department of a scientific research company that Rose News recently cooperated with. I came to participate in the knight competition because of some interest."

Gard stared at Margaret and said.

"If someone finds out that the Linguang family is very close to people from Rose News, they will probably be mistaken for the fact that the Linguang family has surrendered to the Chamber of Commerce."

After all, as the eldest daughter of the Linguang family, Margaret participated in the knightly competitions that the orthodox knights hated.

This will definitely have a big impact on the prestige of the Linguang family.
