Darkening Guardian Knight

Assas stood in front of her and asked sternly, "Why are you here?"

Aier said confidently: "This is Honglan's cafeteria. Anyone who is a student of Honglan should be able to come, right?"

"You didn't get fired when something like that happened?" Assas subconsciously said, but he soon realized his mistake, "Ah..."

The only people who know about Al's relationship with Manchester are himself, Mentor Karis, and Kate.

Senior Thomson and Senior Nan probably noticed it too.

But apart from these people, no one around him knew Al's true identity.

In the eyes of those who don't know the truth at all, he is Manchester's co-worker.Even if he stayed in the Honglan School District well and didn't get into trouble, it was even less likely that Al would be expelled.

"It seems that you know the answer to that question yourself." Seeing Assas's changing expression, Al said with satisfaction, "After all, even you are fine, how can I, an ordinary freshman, be expelled from school?"

"Damn it!" Assas cursed in a low voice, unable to vent his grievances, very depressed.

At this moment, the black-haired girl suddenly stood up with the plate in her hand, and said flatly, "I'm full."

Compared to the other three who were chatting while eating, Kate didn't keep her mouth open. She sat silently and swept away the food and snacks on the table silently.

As she got up, Joey also stood up.

Royard felt a little strange, but he immediately heard Kate's voice transmission: "This girl is obviously here to find Assas, so let's not make fun of ourselves."

Hearing what Kate said, Royard seemed to understand something. He smiled and gave Assas a cheering gesture, and then stood up: "Then I'm full too!"

Seeing this, Assas was a little flustered: "Wait, I just happened to—"

"You're not well yet." Al interrupted him in a timely manner, and said bluntly, "If you really escape here, then I will assume that you have made a choice."

"..." Assas was stunned and stopped moving.

He could feel the earnestness in Al's words.Unlike the previous joke, she really came to invite herself to make a choice.If I don't respond to her positively, maybe I won't have such a good chance in the future.

This morning, Kate had reminded herself that sooner or later he would have to make a decision, but she didn't expect this moment to come so soon.

Did that black-haired girl have expected this scene long ago?

But now is not the time to lament how powerful Kate is. Assas withdrew his mind, faced the girl in front of him, and said solemnly: "Okay, let's talk."

Section [-] talk

"Ugh..."

Sitting across from the beautiful girl with ponytail who was biting onion rings and enjoying her lunch with relish, Assas looked a little embarrassed.

"Obviously you proposed to talk, but why didn't you say a word?" Al licked his powder-stained fingers and said with a half-smile, "Isn't it possible that the young master of the Brown family is The type to go into battle without preparation?"

"It's really underestimated." Assas frowned, feeling very upset inside, but couldn't think of any words to refute.

Because he really didn't prepare for this conversation in advance.

But even if he played on the spot, he was confident that he would not be too bad, so he first said: "Let me just confirm, can you really represent Manchester?"

"Although I don't know what you are probing, I can admit this question openly." Al raised the corner of his mouth and said proudly, "You can regard me as the spokesperson of Lord Manchester, and my actions represent his will."

"Did he actually give you such great authority?!" Assas felt unbelievable when he heard this, "Your magic level is obviously not high, why can you trust him so much?"

"Well, this has nothing to do with our topic today." Al waved his hand, not wanting to talk about it, "Anyway, you just need to know that I have enough right to speak in front of Lord Manchester."

Assas was very cautious, still skeptical: "What about the proof?"

"I knew you wanted to ask this." Al flicked his hand casually, and a golden thread stretched out from her fingertips, the end of which vaguely pointed to the sky. "After seeing this, can you believe it?"

Although Assas has no memory of witnessing the envoy absorbing divine power that day.

But he could feel the extraordinary from this golden thread, and he also roughly knew that this might be the channel through which Al communicated with the gods.

"Is this a kind of miracle?" He asked subconsciously.

"That's right. To be precise, it is a gift from the gods to the most devout believers in the family - the proof of union with the gods."

Al nodded slightly, and said to Assas, "It is a symbol of the envoy, and a bridge connecting the gods and the envoy."

She said, with a thought, she retracted the golden thread: "In this way, you can trust my relationship with Lord Manchester, right?"

"Oh... oh. So, Manchester really succeeded?!" Assas was stunned again, surprised.

"From the moment I appeared in front of you, you should know the answer to this question." Al looked at Assas as if he was looking at an idiot, and there was no lack of sarcasm in his tone.

Assas patted his forehead, realizing that he was really ashamed.

If Manchester failed, even if people from the New Century Organization would come to him, it would definitely not be Al.

And when that time comes, it is impossible for them to adopt such a gentle method, and they will not give themselves a chance to negotiate, but will forcibly promote the alliance between the Brown family and the New Century Organization.

But if Manchester is successful, the New Century Organization's need for the Brown family will not be so urgent.

With a genuine god sitting in charge, they can definitely attract more powerful forces to join them, and they don't have to choose the Brown family.

"Is this an olive branch thrown to us in advance..." Assas said with a wry smile.

"Since it's me who asks your opinion, of course I value your family's power." Al said seriously, "Although the Brown family is not as powerful as those behemoths, it can guide the situation. It plays a vital role. So no matter whether Lord Manchester is successful or not, your family is the one we want to win over."

"Huh, is that so."

Assas knew that Al was right. The Brown family had many intelligence channels. To build a new century, it was necessary to rely on intelligence. not too good.

"I won't bother to talk about what we can provide. You should know that there is only so much our family can do. Why don't you take out the chips in your hand and take a look. If it is good enough, I promise you will also It doesn't matter." Assas raised his hand and said listlessly, a little like giving up struggling.

Al smiled and said, "Of course we won't let you down."

She took out a handkerchief from her breast pocket, wiped her mouth gracefully, and said, "First of all, the New Century Organization will share information with the Brown family and help the Brown family form the world's number one intelligence network in the true sense."

"!!" Assas was shocked, and he didn't know how to respond to the first price offered by Al.

He is not ignorant of the intelligence network organized by the New Century.

Because on the surface, the Brown family is the most powerful intelligence dealer on the mainland, with intelligence networks spread all over the place.But they themselves know that the energy accumulated in the dark by the monster organization called New Century is no less than them, and may even be higher than them!

Now Al said that the New Century Organization is willing to share intelligence with the Brown family and establish the world's number one intelligence network, which is really beyond his expectations.

"Generally, would someone be willing to hand over the intelligence channels to other people?" Assas still felt that this condition was not true, and it was too beneficial to his family, so he was skeptical.

"Of course ordinary people don't dare, but for gods, this is nothing to worry about."

Al said, "And it's not easy for your family to fully accept the intelligence network of the New Century Organization. Otherwise, it will be reverse infiltrated by us."

"Although I knew the risk, I didn't expect you to speak up."

Al curled his lips: "I don't need to lie to you, and besides, I don't think you will be a fool who can't even notice such details."

"Well, in short, we will arrange the integration of the intelligence network on our own. But you said before that first, so there should be second, right?"

Assas continued to ask, wanting to find out how much resources Al, or the New Century Organization was willing to contribute to this negotiation.

As she said, Al did not disappoint Assas. Seeing her small hand shaking slightly, she drew out three cards out of nowhere: "The second chip is them."

"These are?" Assas took the card from Al's hand, looked at it curiously, and asked.

"It's a scroll of forbidden magic." Alsace's words moved Assas again.

The value of a forbidden magic scroll is comparable to that of an ordinary city, and Al took out three of them this time.

"In order to make my family stand in line, the gifts you prepared are a bit too generous?" Assas smiled wryly. He knew that if anyone in the family made this deal, it would only have one ending.

Al said lightly: "You think it's good to be rich, so I haven't got the answer I want yet."

"You have won." Assas sighed.

In fact, when he learned that he appeared beside Manchester in public that day, he vaguely knew the ending, but fortunately, the conditions given by the New Century Organization were far better than he imagined, allowing himself There are enough reasons to convince the family.

"What do you need our family for?"

"Two things. The first is to cooperate with the organization's intelligence work-I don't think I need to say much about this."

Al raised two fingers, "Secondly, it is to help Lord Manchester establish his faith in front of the public as much as possible."

"Establish... Faith?"

Assas failed to understand the meaning of this sentence, and Al seemed to have discovered it: "You don't need to think deeply about the meaning, you just need to know how to follow my orders."

"Follow your order... I feel like I'm being treated as a servant."

"Don't worry, you are an important partner of ours. I will be careful, and I won't really treat you as a servant." Al smiled maliciously, which gave Assas a bad premonition.

"Anyway, Master Manchester will guide us on the way forward! If you understand, then sign this contract!"

Al took out another piece of parchment from the air, on which were written all the treaties listed in this negotiation.

"You wrote this thing long ago?"

Assas looked at the various clauses in the contract that were beneficial to his family, and asked casually.

Al smiled mysteriously, and said: "It is Lord Manchester who prepared this contract. Everything is in Lord's plan."

"Really?" Assas felt uncomfortable, but facing the reality, he knew that he had to cater to the invitation of the New Century Organization, so that the family could gain a foothold in the future troubled times.

Accepting the contract can make the family stronger and look down on the mainland;

Rejecting the contract will plunge the family into the abyss, besieged on all sides.

Just as Manchester calculated, in the face of the reality that interests are paramount, the Brown family can only compromise.

Episode [-] Untitled

Al walked out of the cafeteria contentedly. Under the shadow of the street tree on the side of the long street in front of the cafeteria, the black-haired girl had been waiting for her.

"It seems that things are going well." Kate said lightly.

"Isn't it all in your calculations?" Al responded lukewarmly, "But not only did you post the intelligence network on the roof, but you even took out three scrolls of forbidden spells to buy a second-tier family, is it really worth it? ?”

"It's worth it." Kate said succinctly but firmly, "The Brown family is one of the important fragments to achieve the new century, and it must be taken before others."

Al said indifferently: "Forget it, anyway, you will be in charge of the planning, and I will be my envoy."

"Everyone performs their duties, that's very good." Kate also said flatly.

So the two parted ways with a tacit understanding.

……

Kate returned to the dormitory and found a red-haired girl waiting in front of the dormitory door.

"Kate!" The girl waved to Kate when she saw Kate.

"Flimm, have you recovered?" Kate also shook her hand as a return gift and asked with concern.

"Well, I've eased up a little bit from the shock." Flinm nodded, and then said with a little apology, "I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday, and made you worry about me."

"What happened that day?" Kate ignored Flim's apology, and asked her own question instead.

"Actually, I don't really know what happened that day..." Flimm said submissively, "I was going to go to the playground, but I suddenly became more and more sleepy on the way, mentally tired, and then lost consciousness."

"Really." Kate said casually, and responded perfunctorily to this perfunctory answer, "Then if you have nothing else to do, I'll go back and rest first."

"That's right, there's still a fourth round to come this afternoon... You should rest well, I'll go to the scene to cheer for you in the afternoon!"

Flym made a cheering gesture and encouraged Kate, "We must enter the final round!"

"Well, see you then." Kate opened the door of her bedroom from the position that Flimm gave up, and said goodbye to Flimm.

The red-haired girl looked at Kate's back, with some hesitation on her face, and slightly opened her palms, as if she wanted to keep her.

But in the end, she didn't stretch out the hesitant hand, but just watched the door close.

In the dormitory, Joey had already returned.

Seeing Kate coming in, she asked softly, "Has Miss Kate seen Sister Flim?"

Kate nodded and said, "She was waiting for me at the door and apologized to me."

"Oh, it really is because of what happened yesterday." Joey said with an expression like that, "So how did Miss Kate reply?"

"I asked her what was going on that day, but she didn't give me an answer," Kate said truthfully, "so I didn't give her an answer either."

"Uh..." Joey looked embarrassed, knowing that Flym might offend Kate.

She was about to say a few good words for the red-haired girl to resolve the conflict between the two, but Kate said coldly: "Flimm's affairs, I have a sense of proportion, Joey, you don't have to worry about it."

"Okay." Now that Kate has said that, Joey naturally has no room to talk, and can only start another topic angrily, "The fourth round of the final round of the Nova War in the afternoon, the battle mode has been set. Kate Miss, have you seen it?"

"I know." When Kate came back from the cafeteria, she saw the arrangement of the last round of battle on the campus bulletin board, "The 20 people from our attack group and the top [-] points in your auxiliary group will form a two-person team to fight in the ring war."
