Walk through the structure of the Ark and wander on the continent of Terra

The ancestral home of the Linguang family is located in a pretty good area of ​​the Cavalliaki Grand Knights Territory, surrounded by quite prosperous areas of the city. Considering that her family is the knight with the oldest history and the most outstanding military exploits in this country. It is not surprising that one of the families owns a magnificent-looking mansion in such an area.

When approaching here, Alpha drove very slowly. She was not a will-o'-the-wisp young man who drove in the city and destroyed the streets. Whether it was out of politeness or other considerations, she did not want to leave an unpleasant impression on her friend's family. Good impression.

Stopping in front of the door of Linguang's ancestral house, Alpha rang the doorbell. After a while, a servant dressed in simple clothes opened the door.She is also a blond Kuranta, but it can be seen that she is not a bloodline of the Linguang family, but an ordinary person who works here.

"Hello madam, what can I do for you?"

"Hello, I am Margaret's friend in Linguang. I was asked by her to bring a letter to visit her relatives." Alpha took out the letter and handed it to the maid.The other party took the letter doubtfully and checked the envelope for a moment. His suspicious eyes gradually turned into an expression of surprise.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go ask."

"Okay, please." This mansion is far from as bright and beautiful as it looks on the outside. The furnishings inside are quite old. Although some people clean it every day, many places where expensive furniture should be displayed are empty. The huge There are no works of art or collections in the mansion, but there are portraits of several ancestors of the Linguang family on the walls, still looking down at the fallen family with compassionate eyes.

Alpha could see that after the maid returned to the room, she dialed a phone and said something to the person on the other end of the phone. Then she hurriedly turned back and returned to the door.

"I'm sorry, madam. Several of the principals in the family are not at home right now. Mr. Maena said he would come back as soon as possible, but it might take a few hours. The lady has been at Aunt Zofia's house these two days. I will receive training at the residence, why don’t you go there first and take a look?”

Alpha nodded. It is estimated that at this time, Margaret's uncle was still working overtime in his company. It was not for any urgent matter that he came to visit, so he would not disturb his work. "Okay, then I will Let’s go over there and have a look first.”

The maid gave her an address, which was not far from Linguang's ancestral home and was also a large house in the core area.Alpha remembered that the mansion in the plot was bought by his aunt on a whim when she was a competitive knight.If that's the case, that aunt is definitely worth a lot of money.

Alpha failed to find the two of them. When she was not far from the mansion, she saw two beautiful figures with blond hair in white clothes, driving a car and leaving the mansion happily. She heard the two people being happy in the distance. They were discussing what they should eat for dinner today, and the girl among them was holding two coupons for a certain restaurant in the city.It seems Alpha arrived at the wrong time.

……

"Aren't Miss and Ms. Zofia at home..." After the maid noticed that Alpha had returned, she tentatively asked and received a positive reply from Alpha. "I'm sorry for causing you trouble. Master said that if you don't find them, please come in and have a rest first."

"Then I'll trouble you." Alpha did not refuse the other party's kindness. After parking the motorcycle, he followed the maid into this somewhat desolate ancestral house.

"Ma'am, would you like to arrange dinner for you?"

"Uh, no, I've already eaten. Just have a cup of tea."

Alpha just sat calmly in the living room of Linguang's mansion, drinking black tea and reading the newspaper. After waiting for more than an hour, a figure with a tired face walked in.

"What should I call this lady?"

Alpha put down the teacup and newspaper, stood up politely and shook hands with him, "Just call me Alpha."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Alpha handed the letter to Margaret's uncle, the tired middle-aged man in front of him.

Before that, Alpha did not pry into the content of this letter. She only knew that this letter was just a letter home from Knight Yao to report that she was safe. She picked out some things that would not cause her family to worry about her daily work and life. I wrote down the matter on paper, thinking carefully about the words, asking about the situation of my family, and by the way, I introduced Alpha and his colleagues as colleagues.

"Ms. Alpha, my little girl relies on your care on weekdays."

"Margaret is a steadfast and reliable friend and colleague. I rely on her help in many matters at work."

Taking this opportunity, Maena had a general understanding of the situation on Alpha's side, mainly the business of Rhode Island. When he heard that Rhode Island's main business was to provide medical aid to people infected with oriosis, , his eyes flickered for a moment, but he didn't show anything.After hearing that a complete set of prevention and treatment methods for ore disease had been established in Rhode Island, he relaxed a little.

It can be seen that he is full of worry and concern for his niece who has been exiled to a foreign country.

52.Maria Linguang part.1

"Margaret often mentions that she also has a sister, Maria. How is she doing?"

When he mentioned the little princess of the Linguang family, Alpha could clearly notice that there was a hint of displeasure on Maena's face, but that dissatisfaction was not directed at himself, but at Maria. That baby sister's.

"That girl Maria...she's pretty good, but she's grown up now, has her own ideas, and is disobedient." The busy uncle sighed.

"When you didn't come back just now, I tried to visit her and her aunt at the address given. Unfortunately, they were not at home. It looked like they had gone out to eat."

"Zophia...she still dotes on Maria too much..." Uncle murmured and sighed softly, "I'm sorry, it was my poor discipline that made you laugh."

"No, no, no, it's okay. Everyone in the family is safe. I think Margaret will be very happy."

Perhaps out of lack of trust in Alpha, or perhaps out of some consideration that family scandals should not be made public, Maena did not mention Maria's recent participation in the knight competition to Alpha.After the two parties briefly communicated about the current situation of their families, they also talked about some uncle's understanding of Casimir's current situation.

Alpha could tell that this once high-spirited man couldn't hide his disappointment with Casimir's current situation, but he didn't show any anger. He just calmly recounted what he knew, just like he calmly looked at the mansion. Casimir's ecstatic neon lights outside the window.

The two chatted for more than an hour, and the uncle had a very good impression of the red-haired lady who came to visit with a letter from home.He could tell she was anything but ordinary, displaying a learned but bland demeanor no matter what was being discussed.She is by no means as simple as the self-proclaimed "Margaret's colleague". There is a natural and confident confidence in power that is revealed in her every move, but there is nothing about her that is common in Casimir. The aura and airs of a superior person.

Alpha could see that Maena was tired from working for a long time, and she didn't intend to continue to bother her. Maria and Zofia never went home. They probably went to an old friend's bar for a party after dinner and continued here. If we wait any longer, we will have to spend the night here.

She left her contact information in Casimir and said that she would visit Maria and the others when it was convenient.Ma Enna saw what she meant, so he didn't hold back. He just thanked her again and again for taking care of Margaret, which made Alpha feel a little guilty after not going on a mission with Margaret for a while.It was in Chernobog that he protected Margaret and others who were evacuating with the doctor from the black snake's rain of fire. Maena's posture made it seem like he had saved her eight hundred times.

……

When returning to the Star of Life, Ceria said that she had sorted out the schedule for the Knights Major Championship in the next few days. Public information showed that the Linguang family's youngest daughter, Maria, will face the Howling Knights tomorrow. The vanguard of the regiment, "Plastic Knight" Sergeyak.

"I have already obtained a box ticket. We can go to the game tomorrow." Ceria handed her mobile phone to Alpha. The ticket system on it displayed an exquisite luxury box ticket for the Howling Arena.

"I think it's okay, let's go join in the fun."

"By the way, Alpha, Casimir's competitive gambling industry is very developed. Are you planning to place a bet?"

"Since you need to be comprehensive to join in the fun, you must place a bet to have fun." Alpha gave a thumbs up, indicating that to play, you must play the full set.

"Who are you going to suppress?" Ceria looked at the information she had found on Plastic Knight, an experienced competitive knight veteran, and Maria, who had just debuted, as well as her own opinions on these two through previous game videos. Analysis done by people.

"If I really want to say it, I will challenge Maria on the spot." Alpha put his hands on his hips with a wicked smile, "Unfortunately, that is actually giving money to those capitalists, so I will give Maria [-] gantry coins tomorrow. "

"Are you sure you want to overpower that little girl Maria? No matter in terms of technical level or competitive experience, she is incomparable with that plastic knight."

"Trust my judgment, Ceria. If you lose, it's mine."

"You have the final say." Ceria shrugged, trusting Alpha's judgment.

……

The next day, everyone came to the Howling Arena. The box reserved by Seria was large and could seat many people. The box tickets seemed extremely expensive, but compared to the events that attracted a lot of attention, from the enthusiastic Audiences and ticket scalpers grabbed a lot of tickets for ordinary auditoriums, and it was inconvenient to get to the venue. The box tickets were actually a cost-effective choice for everyone.

There was nothing urgent for everyone at the moment, so there were a lot of people coming to watch the game. The two business cars that had been working diligently at Siesta came in handy once again, transporting everyone to the VIP channel of the Howling Arena.

Because Alpha was given too much, and there was no contact with the general audience through the VIP channel, the Howling Arena venue allowed Alpha and his party to have people infected with oriosis in their party.Ifrit, who has been curious for a long time, can finally come out to have fun.

Petrova didn't come. She didn't like too busy places, and she had no interest in knight competitions. Levi and Xiaoyang were even less interested. Compared with fancy commercial events, data and formulas were more attractive to them. .Everyone else came and filled up the spacious box prepared for the noble gentlemen.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome! I have to congratulate you in advance for coming to the Howling Arena, which is fully sponsored by the Howling Guard Company on this day! 'Howling Guard, the strong wind will also surrender to you'! "The loud voice of the host of the game, Big Mouth Mob, came from the loudspeakers in every corner of the arena.

"I wonder if you have found an independent knight worth spending your money on. If not, let me introduce it again today - it has been a month since the last flash in the pan, and the debut battle has become the center of the topic. No. You know what kind of trials you have gone through and are back again! Let us warmly welcome you! The most beautiful face in the Howling Arena, the legendary sister, the youngest competitive knight of the Linguang family! Ma——Li——Ya, Linguang—— !”

The clip girl put down the telescope she was holding just now, "Are you serious? The host of a combat competition actually emphasizes the appearance of the contestants. Is this a knight competition or a variety show audition..."

The four members of the Rainbow Team came over to watch the game with the intention of getting to know Terra, but as soon as they came on, the host gave them a slap in the face.

"Don't forget that this is a commercial competition, fully sponsored by a certain company." Ashes pushed up his sunglasses.

"Howling Guards is an industrial company that produces competition and military equipment. How is their level?" the doctor asked Seria, who was sitting next to him.

Seria shook her head, "They are a bunch of trash who only know how to copy the country. The only thing they are good at is putting something they copied with little knowledge into a shiny package. When I was still at Rhine Life, Rhine Life would talk to this small workshop every year. There will be one or two business disputes caused by copycats and false propaganda, let alone other Colombian companies, they have copied them all over, but after so many years, they are still copying, taking away any of their own achievements. Not coming out.”

53.Maria Linguang part2

Maria, a little girl from the Linguang family, walked onto the field. She was wearing pure white armor and stood on her side holding a sword and shield.Even though this was a knight's arena where a bloody battle was about to break out, she still had a sweet smile on her face, and her dazzling blond hair floated in the breeze of the arena.

"Compared to her sister, this girl always looks like she lacks some energy." Ceria commented sharply on the little girl.

"She looks sweet, but she still holds unrealistic illusions about the future. Although her eyes are firm, she still looks like a carefree girl. No matter what her strength is, at least her appearance will give people this The impression, coupled with the fact that he comes from the long-famous Linguang family. Tsk..." Alpha nodded with a smile.

Big Mouth Mob started his chat again, first introducing the Howling Guards who fully funded this arena, and then introducing the top [-] knights in the last competition sponsored by the Howling Guards - the Howling Knights, short In just a few dozen seconds, this eloquent host blew them away.

"A cheap title is so powerful? What the hell kind of title is Plastic Knight?" Shirter, who was eating ice cream and watching the game, couldn't resist the desire to complain. The humanoid Miss Natural Disaster gestured from a distance, "That plastic , Why do I feel that with just two bangs, he can be chopped down to the ground."

Skadi, who was feeding Laurentina fruit salad next to him, heard her words and glanced at the arena, which he didn't care much about. "No need to bang, just two snaps, just one pop and he will fall down."

"Hey, what are you two talking about? Isn't it just a strange ban? Let me see." Ghost Shark pouted in dissatisfaction. The location of her wheelchair is not very good and she can't see the arena clearly. situation.

So Skadi pushed her to the box and borrowed a telescope from Ashes for her.

The ghost shark raised the binoculars and looked at it for a long time, "What, didn't that plastic disappear all of a sudden? But that pony looked so pitiful. If that plastic hurt her cute little face, But it’s a pity.”

Koloff, who was sitting not far away, sniffed. What these onomatopoeia masters said was really, it’s not okay for a group of you humanoid natural disasters to bully a low-class vanguard of a small, low-class competitive knights. "Bang bang bang wu" is this person about to die?

……

The Plastic Knight was standing on the field. He seemed to be having a few words with a figure in the audience near the field. Big Mouth Mobu discovered this. The person he was talking to was the one who had been in the special hall. In the tournament, Zofia, the "whip blade" knight with the same surname as Linguang, reached the top sixteen.The appearance of the once influential figure intensified the atmosphere of the entire venue, and the audience became even more enthusiastic in this already packed game.

Seria did not pay attention to the old events of the Casimir Knights Competition. She held up the binoculars and carefully looked at the plastic knight, and discovered something, "That is Colombia's charge-enhanced battle suit technology. It looks nondescript. It's more or less a copycat, but it's no longer a poor imitation, it's more or less the real thing, but why does it feel so weird?"

"You're right to think it's strange. The fully covered polymer armor shell and the exaggerated knight's cape with all the trademarks on it. Where can the heat dissipation be placed?"

"It reminded me," Ceria nodded. She had not touched her hometown's technology for a while and was suddenly enlightened by Alpha's words. "I just said that the smell of that product is so strong. It is obviously secretly using military-standard technology and material, but it looks like a flower stand.”

"Looking at the thermal management of his equipment, it might have to be forced to dissipate heat before he even takes two hits."

At this time, the big-mouthed Mobu in the studio was still doing his best to brag about the products of Howling Guard Company, their after-sales guarantee services and modification services. Everyone who heard the conversation between Seria and Alpha felt dumbfounded. An incomplete set Defective products are not allowed to be modified in depth. Will the manufacturer maintain them? I'm afraid the thing will be scrapped just after the warranty period.

This is a competition, after all, it is not a place for advertisements and live broadcasts to bring goods. After Mobu was ignored by the audience, he finally announced the start of the competition.Two figures, one white and one basketful, then collided fiercely.

All of a sudden, various mechanisms on the field also started to operate. Flames and frosts flew together, lightning and smoke roared together. The Plastic Knight constantly switched his fighting methods, sometimes fighting at close range with a short knife, sometimes using crossbows to consume from a distance. .It seems that his actions are much more flexible than the little girl Maria, and he almost controls the rhythm of the entire game.

"My God, that arrow was aimed at the center of the eyebrow." Seeing Maria struggling to block the long shot of the Plastic Knight with the shield in her hand, Hui Jing felt something was wrong.She could clearly see the sparks caused by the crossbow arrows colliding with Maria's shield. Those were not soft-headed training crossbow arrows, but serious armor-piercing arrow clusters.

"This is not the fighting competition we imagined..." Machine Gun Brother next to him said angrily, "This is a gladiatorial arena, wrapped under the glamorous commercial cloak of modern civilization, the ancient Roman slave arena."

"Precise explanation." Alpha nodded.

"The field surrounded by eyes, two trapped beasts, fighting, blood, and death." Looking at the game, Shirte murmured, probably because this scene overlapped with something in her memory.

On the field, Maria was still being suppressed by her opponents. Plastic Knight was indeed an experienced competitive knight. He still firmly controlled the rhythm of the game, but the little Pegasus in front of him showed resilience far beyond his expectations. Although he could continue to consume her, she refused to surrender or fall.

At this moment, a waiter from the arena came in and asked everyone if they were ready to place bets.

Alpha took out his checkbook from his arms. As a large multinational financial institution, Longmen Bank naturally has its own semicolon in the Great Knight Land, the center of Casimir's business.She casually filled in the amount of 20 Longmen coins and threw it on the tray in the waiter's hand.

"20 Dragon Gate coins, push Maria all in to win."

"Okay, okay." The waiter looked at the others and saw a silver-haired woman in mercenary uniform casually taking out a few pieces of red gold from her arms and throwing them to him, "Same as her."

To the waiter's surprise, all the ladies and gentlemen in this box who wanted to place bets followed suit and placed bets on Maria, whom no one was optimistic about.Do they know something inside?Looking at these guys, the waiter didn't dare to say anything.

54.Maria Linguang part.3

"I feel like I'm back in ancient Rome." Looking at Maria on the stage, she tried to attack the plastic knight again and again, but was resolved by the opponent again and again. The arrow scratched her face, the sword blade and the bayonet collided to produce sparks, and blood Little by little, it dripped down the little girl's cheeks and arms onto the dusty field.That bit of red looked so dazzling in this entertainment-to-death arena.

"Just do as the Romans do." Alpha shrugged. She looked at the doctor next to her. This guy said he didn't want it, but in fact he still followed her to use his personal money. I wonder if Kelsey knew about it and he followed Alpha out to play. How will you deal with him when you get back?

"Any ideas, Doctor."

"If you're asking about this game, I don't have any idea, you guys are the ones who know."

"So, doctor, do you have any critical comments about the form of competition like knight competition?"
