hero?it must be me

Watching Tolan lead the two brothers withered and corrupted into the darkness one by one, Tuola raised his head and looked at the night sky again.

On such a good day, his interest was disturbed again and again.

He wants to meet someone.

"...Where are you? Zheng Qi."

Tuola lowered her head, carrying a long-handled sword, and continued her journey.

Chapter 240 Chapter 70: Zheng Qi, what are you?

"In the end, this is where you said it was?"

With an expression on her face that she felt that she had been deceived, Sona looked at Viviana who insisted on walking side by side with Zheng Qi: "Wall of Champions exhibition hall?"

"As you can see, it's been cleaned up, no problem."

Viviana said with a smile: "However, this is a private meeting after all, so I hope you guys can keep it a secret after this and don't say anything."

Sona looked around.

As Viviana said, the current Champions Wall exhibition hall, or near the Casimir National Stadium, is empty.

This is actually normal.

Immediately after the major power outage, the arena staff organized the evacuation of the personnel. After so much time, the spectators, participating knights, and staff in the arena had all been evacuated.

After all, the National Stadium does not have the function of a shelter under special events.

If there is a mess like tonight, this place will not be used as a public place for temporary maintenance of law and order.

only……

Sona frowned as she looked at the exhibition hall of the Champions Wall, which seemed to be still lit and so eye-catching in the night.

It appears that, like the Union Building, there is also an emergency power supply.

In the deep night brought by the infected, the Champion Wall exhibition hall, which symbolizes the supreme glory of the competitive knights, is still burning like the Union Building, avoiding the shadow of the night.

Cavaliers, and Federation...

Sona recalled what Zheng Qi had said.

Her voice inevitably became a little low: "Which knight wants to see us?"

"The knight... indeed, he is a respectable knight and wants to meet you."

Hearing Viviana's words, the expressions on Grenadi's and Sona's faces were not very good-looking.

"Don't worry, it's an older lady who wants to treat you and is kind."

Viviana didn't seem to care about the cautiousness revealed on the faces of the little girls.

She stopped outside the exhibition hall.

"You go ahead."

"Aren't you coming?"

Sona asked.

"It's a little embarrassing to say, she may be one of the few people in Kasimir who makes me feel a little scared."

"Wow?"

Hearing this, Sona raised her eyebrows: "Even the famous Candle Knight is afraid, can we do it?"

"This...it's not the same after all."

Viviana lowered her head slightly: "After all, in name, she can be regarded as my half adoptive mother."

"what……"

Sona scratched her head. Normally, she would jump up and ask about this explosive news, but now, she is more concerned about what to do next.

The girl took another look at the Champion Wall exhibition hall.

"It's all here, isn't it?"

She muttered, and then walked in first.

Grenadi followed closely behind.

Zheng Qi was about to follow, but was stopped by Viviana softly.

"Mr. Zheng Qi."

Zheng Qi turned to look at her.

Facing Zheng Qi's gaze, Viviana seemed a little hesitant.

But after a moment of hesitation, she continued to speak.

"For a while, please... don't blame her too much, after all, she..."

"I see."

Zheng Qi turned around.

"see you later."

"……it is good."

Relying on his long legs, Zheng Qi, who was a step behind, caught up with Grenadi and Sona who went in first.

Just a few steps after entering, there was a person who slowly entered the sight of the three of them.

"Flametail Knight, Sona."

"Grey Knight, Grenadi."

"And... Would it be better for me to call you Zheng Qi directly? Young man."

Seeing the person coming, Sona and Grenadi's eyes widened.

"You, you are—!"

Sona couldn't help but exclaimed.

Grenadi couldn't make a sound for a while, but just stood there in a daze.

Only Zheng Qi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Just call me that, Your Excellency the Grand Knight Commander."

That's right.

Waiting for Zheng Qi and the others here is Kasimir's Grand Knight Commander.

Ioletta Russell.

The elderly Ms. Kuranta stood alone under the dim light in the exhibition hall, facing Zheng Qi and the others with a kind and elegant smile.

She looked more like an elder from a scholarly family than a knight.

Time has left clear traces on her appearance, and faintly, it seems that I can still see how high-spirited and outstanding this lady was when she was young, and it seems that it is still buried in the strands of her face. Depths of texture outlined by the years.

Of course, time also gave her gifts.

There was genuine kindness in her dignified demeanor, and this lady looked at Zheng Qi and the others with extremely gentle eyes, as if she was looking at children with promising futures.

Grand Knight Commander, Ioletta Russell.

There is no doubt that this is an elder who makes people want to get close to him unconsciously.

"Don't be so cautious, I'm not here to see you on official business."

The Grand Knight Commander said with a smile: "I heard that there was... a deal between the Infected Knight and the Correctional Council."

As soon as this remark came out, Sona and Grenadi's expressions suddenly became a little nervous.

"Member of the Knights' Association and the Proctor, Demian."

"In order to survive in the Grand Knight's collar, the infected people agreed to carry out today's operation with his cooperation."

"The four cities are divided...the Supervisory Committee has tacitly allowed this kind of thing to happen again."

Russell turned sideways, looking at the wall with portraits of past champions.

"Look at them... on this wall, these brave knights, they should be heroes, not attracting attention with such a gesture."

"Don't you feel... sad?"

"...of course sad, ma'am."

After taking a deep breath, Sona replied: "It's just that I grieve for the infected who still can't be treated fairly to this day, for those who are greedy for pleasure and indulge in desire, and for those who Sad for a Casimir who struggles to live but is still struggling."

This passage is categorical.

Obviously, it wasn't the first time Sona wanted to say something like this.

"Excellent inaugural address, Squirrel."

Russell turned his face and showed Sona a smile that should be called satisfaction.

Immediately, she looked at Zheng Qi.

"What about you, Zheng Qi?"

"How do you feel if you don't belong to this land?"

"Your question, Viviana has already asked me."

"So how did you answer?"

"Then let me be straightforward."

Zheng Qi said calmly, "I did it to save face for Sona and Margaret—that building, and this arena, there are many reasons why I didn't crush them tonight."

"But the only thing is, it's not because I have a crush on a group of nobles who call themselves knights and a group of businessmen who have tried their best."

"Of course you look different, Ms. Russell."

"It's no wonder that Viviana looks like that, it seems to be due to you."

Zheng Qi nodded, as if approving, but also as if affirming his guess.

"You kept her candle."

"You made me a new friend."

"From that point on, I quite like you, Ms. Russell."

"Oh? I'm honored then."

Russell laughed happily.

It could be seen that she was not being sarcastic or perfunctory, but was really happy to hear Zheng Qi's answer.

"but--"

Zheng Qi and Russell looked at each other: "One size fits one size."

"We have finished the matter, and it is your turn to pay the reward."

"It's natural."

Ms. Russell nodded: "Procedures, official documents, and legal documents approved by the National Council, all of these will be handled by the Supervisory Committee for you. This is the promise of old Demian, which is equivalent to the promise of the Supervisory Committee. We will not break our word. "

"But what about the origin stone crystals on your body?"

"..."

Sona and Grenate were slightly taken aback.

But this is not the kind of trance caused by recalling the forgotten things, that look, it looks more like some things that he doesn't want to think about, are dragged to the table helplessly.

"I appreciate you, Red Pine Knights, but fighting for the infected means that you will face more... vague problems."

"My mother likes a sentence very much, so she often uses this sentence to motivate me."

Zheng Qi suddenly said: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

"No matter what, if you don't do it, no matter how you look forward and backward, it's the same, nothing will be achieved."

"I told you so, Sona."

Zheng Qi raised his hand and patted the little girl's head: "You are right."
