hero?it must be me

"Even a small step is a step forward."

"……Hey."

Raising both hands, holding Zheng Qi's big hand that almost required her two hands to hold it together, Sona raised her face and showed a naughty smile at Zheng Qi.

"of course?"

"...Are you really from the Yan Kingdom?"

Looking at the interaction between the two, Ms. Russell's expression seemed to carry a hint of reminiscence: "You are right."

"This will be a good start. Demian will connect with you later, just trust him. Although the way he does things is a bit stupid, he has a lot of ideas."

"it is good."

Sona nodded seriously.

"Then, hurry up and meet up with your companions, my Knights are coming soon."

"in addition……"

Russell looked at Zheng Qi: "Young man, don't you mind spending a little more time with me, an elderly woman?"

"Row."

Sona subconsciously pulled the corner of Zheng Qi's clothes.

Zheng Qi lowered his head and smiled lightly at Sona.

"Speak to Xinteliya for me, I will go there later."

"Ok."

The girl was a little helpless.

She knew what Zheng Qi had decided, and it was hard to persuade him to change his mind.

Before she leaves, though, she has one last question.

There are not many opportunities to meet the Grand Knight Commander Ioletta Russell like this, so Sona felt that she should ask.

"Ma'am, can I ask you one last question?"

"of course can."

"...Knight, what exactly does it mean?"

After deliberating for a moment, Sona asked the question.

Hearing this, Russell smiled.

"Everyone has their own answer to this question, but I'm afraid you won't want to hear my answer."

She closed her eyes, as if recalling the past.

"We're old and we've walked too many old paths."

"Have you ever asked him that question?"

Russell opened his eyes and looked at Zheng Qi.

Sona twitched the corner of her mouth: "Zheng Qi...he is not a knight, nor is he a knight."

"This is also an answer, child."

Ms. Russell said with a chuckle.

There was youthful vigor in that smile, but it also looked vicissitudes due to the wrinkles on his face.

Hearing this, Sona was taken aback.

"Okay, go, little squirrel, go."

Ms. Russell stopped answering.

She just looked at Sona expectantly.

"Go and see if the rising sun in Casimir is still hot."

-

Seeing Sona and Grenate turning their heads three times at a step and disappearing after a long time, Ms. Russell opened her mouth.

"They may be lucky."

"I prefer to call it a reward for a good man."

"That's not bad either."

She turned her face and looked at Zheng Qi.

Now, only she and Zheng Qi are left in the huge champion wall exhibition hall.

"You seem to be the type who doesn't like rules and regulations, so I'll go straight to the point."

The expression on the lower part of the Great Knight's Pavilion did not change, and the smile remained the same.

It's just that this time, in her voice, the taste of exploration and seriousness is so strong.

She asked like this -

"Zheng Qi, what exactly are you?"

Chapter 241 Chapter 71: I, Zheng Qi

"...That's right, it's so lively tonight, how can you not get your attention."

Zheng Qi wasn't sure that when the incident in the third block ended, those people were spying on him secretly.

But if there is the eyeliner of the great knight in front of him, he is not surprised.

Rather, if not, he would have to think carefully about whether the lady in front of him was really a third-rate person who turned a blind eye to everything.

"If you hated it, I'm here to apologize."

"As the Grand Knight Commander?"

"Also as Ioletta Russell herself."

Ms. Russell had a helpless smile on her face: "I can understand the dissatisfaction. I also had this period when I was young."

"But please forgive me, this is also for the maintenance of basic order."

"It's okay, it's a matter of course to be noticed, and apologizing to me means that you have no intention of provoking trouble for the time being."

"I'm not going to get angry because of this."

Zheng Qi frowned slightly.

"I'm not a murderer."

"...You are so gentle, Zheng Qi."

Ms. Russell suddenly said this to Zheng Qi.

Hearing this, Zheng Qi turned his face sideways.

"We tried to investigate you, but the results were not satisfactory. It can be said that we could almost find nothing. Although this land is indeed vast, even Kasimir is just a corner of it, but even a trace like this It’s rare to find them all.”

"Especially when you are so directly involved in the issue of infected people, such a result makes some people feel even more disturbed."

As Ms. Russell spoke, she began to walk on her feet: "Come take a walk with me."

Zheng Qi was silent, but followed silently.

"When you first came into our field of vision, ah, it wasn't the time you beat up the Ingra family boy, but the time you protected the gathering place of infected people and repelled the Harmony Alliance. That was the first time you entered our field of vision. vision."

"Guess what the report of the Wuzhou League to you was?"

As if she had said something interesting, Ms. Russell had a smile on her face that seemed to be amused: "They guessed that you might be some kind of self-discipline bionic weapon newly developed by Ursus, the purpose of which is to protect you during the Grand Championship. To carry out the task of infiltrating Casimir, some people even boldly speculate that Ursus may take this opportunity to make some big moves."

"In fact, Ursus has indeed taken some unfriendly measures against us recently, and it's not incomprehensible that everyone's nerves are so nervous."

"In the beginning, I, as well as those who acquiesced in the reappearance of the Great Partition like old Demian, felt that this was nonsense, and maybe it was simply a smoke bomb thrown by the Unshakable League and the Federation."

"but--"

Ms. Russell stopped.

"Your performance tonight almost made us believe this nonsense."

"..."

"A total of 380 freelance killers under the command of the Unshackled Alliance completely disappeared from this world overnight, no, in less than 10 minutes."

"The reason is that they chose to be your enemy...but do they really have the qualifications?"

"It's like rabbits and tigers. Even if the rabbits are in groups, are they really qualified to say, can they be enemies of tigers?"

"Food, and predators."

"Will such a position change in the slightest just because of the difference in quantity?"

"Of course, these free killers are not as cute and weak as rabbits."

"but……"

Ms. Russell looked at Zheng Qi: "You are definitely not a tiger, you can be compared."

"Excuse me, but this is my responsibility...Zheng Qi, what are you?"

Hearing this, Zheng Qi did not respond immediately.

With his hands in his pockets, he looked out of the exhibition hall.

A little time has passed since the blackout occurred. With the action capabilities of the Federation and the Supervisory Committee, the city will wake up soon.

But right now, in this primordial darkness, only the Wall of Champions room behind them still shines today.

It's as if once you leave here, you are going from the only light to the endless depths of darkness.

"Someone asked me similar questions before."

"I said then, I'm just a normal high school student."

"And then, when I was on my journey, I was asked a similar question."

"I said at the time that I was just passing by and wanted to take his life. I don't care if I remember it or not."

"Now, it's your turn to ask me."

Zheng Qi suddenly stopped talking.

There was a sudden silence between the old man and the young man.

In this dark night, such silence, against the background of the surging undercurrent, seemed so rare.

However, if someone is lucky enough to stand between the old man and the young man at this moment, he probably won't think so.

Where is the silence?

It's just a low prelude to the storm.

"Zheng Qi."

Zheng Qi finally spoke again.

"If you don't want to change your name, if you don't want to change your surname, I'm Zheng Qi, and I'm right here."

"This is Zheng (Zheng) Qi (Qi)."

"So, is that clear enough?"

"..."

Ms. Russell closed her eyes.

She probably thought about her words, but judging from the natural smile on her face, she seemed to be quite satisfied with the answer.

After a moment of silence, Ms. Russell spoke——

-

"This is impossible!"

McKee nearly screamed.
