hero?it must be me

There are many competitive knights, and it is not uncommon for those powerful competitive knights to work in the arena.

But like Zheng Qi, just relying on his body shape, movements, and voice, he made dozens of people present as if they were stuck in the neck and dared not move. This was the first time he saw it.

Is it really just relying on body shape, movement, and voice?

Could it really be a special Originium skill, as the journalists who have become active again say?

No one can tell.

But there is no doubt that...

"It seems that this special tournament is more lively than ever, Your Excellency the Candle Knight—huh?"

The staff turned their faces away.

But at some point, the Candle Knight had disappeared.

-

Zheng Qi and Margaret did not choose to take the conventional path.

Although Zheng Qi never cared much about his reputation from other people, he cared about Margaret.

Through what happened just now, some words that were originally only in the stage of written materials, now present the meaning in front of Zheng Qi with the most authentic attitude.

He now has a very real understanding of the evaluation of "Yao Qiqi's position is not optimistic".

Originally, Zheng Qi felt that Margaret's situation was quite...

Not to mention complicated.

But really realistic.

It was so realistic that Zheng Qi felt that this big knight leader was a bit disgusting for a moment.

"Sorry, Zheng Qi."

"what?"

Zheng Qi, who heard Margaret's words, turned his head in confusion, and looked at her who was walking beside him.

"You don't think you got me involved, do you?"

"..."

Margaret lowered her head slightly.

"Too gentle will be tiring, Margaret, I don't need you to be so careful."

"……Feel sorry."

"It's ok."

"May I ask you a question, Zheng Qi?"

"If I can answer it, I will know everything."

"Why did you decide to take part in the duel?"

"I knew you'd have to ask sooner or later."

Zheng Qi stopped.

The two were in a dark alleyway with no one at this time.

He turned around: "But before I answer, let's ask the guests in the back what are you doing?"

"it is good."

Margaret's movements are similar to Zheng Qi's rhythm.

The two looked behind together.

"……excuse me."

Facing the peaceful eyes of the two, Candle Knight smiled, held the hem of his skirt, and bowed to salute.

"Did I disturb you two?"

Section 210 Chapter 40: I don't know, I never thought about it

In order to prevent Xintraya from being too directly exposed to the flashlights of the media, Zheng Qi asked Xinteliya to go back to the red pine.

But this did not prevent him from discovering the lady behind him who had been following him and Margaret since the exhibition hall of the Wall of Champions.

No, discovery might not be the right word.

After all, the other party had no intention of hiding his tracks from the beginning.

It's not so much stalking, it's more like an aboveboard expression of [I've got something to do with you].

This is also the reason why Zheng Qi chose to stop and talk like this, instead of simply turning back with a strong hand to split the head and drag him out to accept the power of the subjugated.

"you are……"

Margaret asked a question in a perplexed but polite manner.

Unlike Zheng Qi, who has the memory of Xinteliya, she has only a short time to return home.

During those years in exile, she could only learn a little information about her hometown through limited channels.

Therefore, it is reasonable to not recognize the beautiful woman in front of me.

"...It's been a long time since anyone asked me who I am. They care more about who they want me to be than who I am."

Margaret's question seemed to affect this woman's emotions.

She was still smiling, with lowered eyebrows and eyes, but she seemed a little sentimental.

"Sorry, I haven't been back to Casimir for a long time..."

"……Ah."

The woman chuckled, "Do you think I'll be annoyed because you don't know me?"

"I can see that you are different."

"Oh, thank you for the compliment."

The woman narrowed her eyes happily.

"It seems that you are a knight?"

Margaret asked.

"Of course, my name is Vivienne Droste."

Upon hearing this, Margaret glanced at Zheng Qi calmly.

Zheng Qi understood.

"Candle Knight, Viviana Droste, a great knight from Letania."

He explained it this way.

"Thank you for your explanation, Mr. Zheng Qi."

Facing Droste's gentleness, Zheng Qi seemed to turn a blind eye to the flower-like majestic and fragile beauty.

He just asked calmly: "Follow us, what's the matter with you?"

"It seems that I did disturb the two of you."

Droste replied with a smile: "I'm very sorry, I just hope that I can talk to the legend of Casimir face to face."

She looked at Margaret, "It's been hard work, Knight Yao."

"Because of your exile, it has added a lot of mystery to the name [Yao Knight]...a knight surrounded by holy light, a majestic golden Pegasus, a hero who returned like a meteor..."

I agree with the last sentence.

Zheng Qi thought to himself.

When he was watching Princess Margaret fight in the auditorium, he really felt that two speakers should be put on the arena.

Doesn't this equip Margaret with a round shield that is both offensive and defensive?

Of course, no one except the Grimoire knew what he was thinking behind that calm face.

Droste continued her emotion.

"Looking closer today, it turns out that you are still so young, and you will be troubled by unexpected situations... Margaret is such a real person."

(...I think this girl doesn't look like she would take a bath in red wine and accept hundreds of male pets.)

Zheng Qi chattered with the magic code.

(She looked more like a literary girl.)

[Didn't you know from the beginning that those guys are like rain when they see the wind? 】

No one could notice, on Zheng Qi's shoulder, the blue cat swiped Zheng Qi's chin with its tail, as if expressing its irritability.

【You don't like this? 】

(what?)

Zheng Qi glanced at the magic tome.

(She is a bit of a riddle, and I still like Margaret for real friends.)

"... What do you want to talk about with me?"

The two girls didn't know what Zheng Qi next to him was thinking.

Regarding Droste's words, Margaret chose to get straight to the point.

"You and I will meet on the field soon."

This is true.

Margaret's opponent in the second round was the candle knight in front of her.

"But please don't get me wrong, I'm not a person who likes to communicate with opponents before games."

Droste said softly: "I just want to know, as an infected person, a person who was once exiled..."

"As Mr. Zheng Qi said just now, I am from Leitania. In this foreign country, I am living in this bustling city with an identity that I have never imagined."

"You've obviously got Casimir's approval, Miss Droste."

"But I heard that Knight Yao never recognized the current knight system, and he was exiled because of this... I want to know, do you still think so?"

"Casimir's knights are forgetting their duties."

This time, Margaret did not hesitate.

She gave her answer decisively.

"Have you ever been to the poorest place in Casimir? War, hunger, infected people... The people are suffering tremendously, but the knights are hiding in the bustling city and singing and dancing."

"The spirit of chivalry is gone, a legacy manipulated by money."

"Don't you think it's a disgrace?"

"……I see."

Closing his eyes, as if chewing on what Margaret said for a moment, Droste opened his eyes again.

This time, she looked at Zheng Qi.

"Mr. Zheng Qi."

Zheng Qi, who was playing backgammon in his head with the magic book, reacted and looked at Drost.

"I know it's presumptuous, but may I ask your opinion too?"

"What do you think of the current knight system?"

"do not know"

Zheng Qi gave the answer bluntly: "I have never thought about this question."

This answer seemed to surprise not only Droste, but even Margaret.

Seeing this, Zheng Qi scratched his head.
