hero?it must be me

As for those who can no longer be knights, they will be sent to do some black work like slaves. Miners and porters in the source stone mines, those jobs that are exposed to dangerous environments all the time, non-infected people are almost I won't think about it.

But, for Casimir, these jobs have to be done by someone.

And if it is worse, people who are injured and can't even do these jobs...

They'll disappear from Lot Zero, disappear from Casimir.

As for how to disappear...

In short, for Rhodes Island who had just arrived in the Great Knights Territory, they thought that Lot Zero was a hospital; for the unaware infected knights, they once thought Lot Zero was a cage.

But in fact, this is not true.

There, the infected were washed away their dignity, stripped of their value, and finally sent to the chopping block to be slaughtered.

Plot zero is an exquisite slaughterhouse.

This is what the Commercial Federation has been planning for plot zero—the contents of the plan for plot zero are a strong proof of this inside story.

During the power outage, one of the two important documents that Sona stole from the Union Building was the plot zero plan.

As for Rhodes Island, because Zheng Qi, who had learned the truth about Plot Zero through the Red Pine Knights, came to contact him, the doctor quickly selected the best solution from his original plans for this situation. suitable solution.

Therefore, on the Rhodes Island side, the division of the federation should cooperate internally and externally, and Zheng Qi put heavy pressure on the federation from the outside, especially the Wuxu League, and after Hongsong successfully stole the plan for plot zero, the supervisory association was finally able to Through powerful evidence, he intervened in plot zero openly.

Ms. Russell's role in this is to make the Supervisory Committee never forget to "return the favor".

Now that Rhodes Island is able to formally establish the Casimir branch in Lot Zero, the support provided by Rhodes Island by the Supervisory Committee represented by Ms. Russell is the key.

Officially speaking, the current Rhodes Island is an official partner that the Supervisory Committee values ​​very much.

All in all, for the infected, the current plot zero must be better—at least, it is no longer a slaughterhouse.

As for the future...

"It's always going to get better."

As Sona said, her eyes couldn't help falling on the portrait again.

Looking at Zheng Qi's smile drawn by the master's hand, which seemed to be close in front of her eyes, the girl couldn't help muttering in a low voice.

"Even if it is a small step, it is indeed a step forward... right? Zheng Qi."

-

"What's the matter, I'm out of my mind."

Hearing McGee's voice, Markowitz woke up suddenly when he was distracted.

"Ah, nothing..."

Seeing Markowitz like this, McKee sighed.

"Don't put too much pressure on me. The meaning of that phone call is beating and conniving."

Banging and... pampering?

Markowitz couldn't help but recall the experience of that day.

After Howe Knight and Yao Knight went to the championship wall together, and caused a lot of trouble at the award ceremony and honor ceremony, he and McGee received a phone call.

Answering the phone is nothing unusual for them as spokespersons.

But Markowitz felt that the call he received that day would probably be remembered forever.

On the other end of the phone is a reporter.

To be precise, it was a person called a [reporter].

——Chairman of Rose News United Newspapers, [Reporter] Kane.

He has many identities, for example, he is McGee's father...

For example, he is one of the most powerful figures in the board of directors of the entire business association.

It was this person who spent a lot of money to "buy" Markowitz from Meshko Industries, turning him from an ordinary man into a spokesman for the Federation.

This person is currently in Colombia. In his eyes, compared to Victoria and Ursas, Colombia, which is developing rapidly, poses a greater threat.

Not only that, Mr. Kane didn't care too much about what happened in the Major.

And the words he said made Markowitz feel that the world was turned upside down when he listened——

【Those knights... the supervisor thinks they have earned enough face?Heh, face, honor, they can give them as much as they want. Time and the people are on our side. It only takes a few games and a few new topics, and the people will forget what Yao Knight and that Hao Knight brought. The impact of the impact, re-devoted into a new round of consumption and entertainment. 】

[For them, paying attention to "which knight is stronger" is much more important than paying attention to how much dross we have left. 】

[Casimir has long been inseparable from the economic foundation provided by the federation. Those knights who fought, sadly, who knows how many of them have voluntarily surrendered to us? 】

[Now, Markowitz, you have a chance to choose. 】

——These words are still in my ears to this day.

do you choose...

Markowitz, closed his eyes.

This time McGee didn't interrupt Markowitz's thinking.

Because he actually has some troubles.

Looking at his watch, McGee still couldn't make up his mind about the bouquet of marigolds he ordered again, so he went to deliver the third bouquet by himself.

I don't know if she will accept it...

-

"Please don't embarrass us. If you reject it, it will be very difficult for us..."

Hearing this, Viviana looked at the bouquet of marigolds.

There was no signature, and the florist's delivery man also said he was anonymous.

With the reputation of the Candle Knight, gifts like this can be said to be common.

Or maybe it was another gift from the fan who found her place?

In any case, Viviana was used to rejecting gifts like this.

When it comes to giving gifts, she still prefers to give them in person.

Of course, whether to accept it or not is another matter.

At least, Viviana would be grateful for such a nameless gift without a reason, but would not accept it rashly.

Seeing Viviana's insistence, the staff of the flower shop had no choice but to bow their heads and say "excuse me", and left with the bouquet of marigolds in their arms.

"...If you send it in person, I won't accept it, McGee."

Seeing the staff walk away with the flowers in their arms, Viviana sighed: "At least, for you now, I don't want to accept it."

After saying a few words to herself, she closed the door and returned to the house.

The lonely childhood experience in the past not only gave her a hobby of reading, but also gave her the habit of talking to herself when she was alone.

After all, if it wasn't like this, maybe after a long time, she wouldn't even be able to remember how to speak.

Since no one was talking to her, naturally she could only talk to herself.

Looking around the room a few times, Viviana, who was alone at home as always, took a step and turned on the beautiful gramophone along the way.

Melodious music came from inside, it was an ensemble of Qin and flute from the Yan Kingdom.

In the midst of this music, she came to the bookcase and moved her fingers along the spine of a book, as if she was looking for her favorite target for today.

Not long after, her fingers landed on a martial arts novel written by Yan Kingdom.

Gently pulled it out, came to the table, with a cup of steaming black tea, Viviana held the martial arts novel, stared blankly for a moment, but put the book on the table again without opening it.

Then, she reached out and took something from her waist.

It was a sachet.

Of course, the Casimirs don't have this habit. This is a custom product that Viviana just took home yesterday.

Staring at the sachet, after a moment of silence, Viviana gently opened it, then carefully inserted her fingers, and took out the contents.

It's a candy.

What Viviana took out with gentle movements as if treating a priceless treasure, seemed to be just a cheap candy that can be found everywhere.

Leaning back into the soft sofa, Viviana looked up at the candy in her hand.

"It's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. The old saying of Yan Kingdom is really good."

"I used to read these martial arts novels of the Yan Kingdom, and I only felt that those heroes who traveled thousands of miles alone without looking back were chic and carefree, but now I understand that when they leave, the people left behind are also part of the story..."

"Really, after seeing you, I can't see anything else."

she muttered to herself.

"...See you next time. Be sure to tell me your new story, Zheng Qi."

-

"……what?"

Xintraya showed a rare look of astonishment, looking at Roy, Monique, and the store behind them.

"Storefront? You...opened a store?"

"How is it, not bad."

Roy said with a smile.

Monique rolled her eyes: "Are you not blind, can't you see?"

"No, but..."

Xintraya double-checked the signboard of the store.

"Selling hand sanitizer?"

"[Original Stone Cloud] is the most popular daily necessities brand in recent years!"

Roy raised his finger: "As for Origin Stone Cloud, there are three bosses in total."

"you……"

Cinderella was thoughtful.

"Yes, this is just to join the group. In the final analysis, killers and mercenaries need so many, just to take a life-oh, your master doesn't count, and the boss seems to think that he does not belong to the category of [person]."

Hearing Roy's words, Xintleiya frowned.

"But why are you still staying in Casimir? Didn't you go to Rhodes Island with your family?"

"...Sir, he is just one step ahead, and I will catch up soon."

"That's good."

Roy nodded seriously: "There are too many open and secret fights in this ghost place. It's better to leave early. Anyway, with that person, you won't be bullied no matter where you stay in this land."

"At least, it won't be as sad as working under our hands."

"really."

Xintraya glanced at Roy, then turned around.

"Then I wish you a prosperous business."

"Thank you for your blessing."

-

"It's unprecedented for two champions to go to the championship wall together! Moreover, the knight Hao directly threw the championship trophy to the audience at the award ceremony afterwards, which is undoubtedly a kind of blasphemy!"

"However, now in the exhibition hall of the Champion Wall, there is already that unique portrait belonging to the knight Hao..."

The voice from the TV echoed in the old remote bar.

"It's been so many days, I didn't expect the topic level to be so high."

Koval put down the empty glass that had been drained, and said.

"If you want me to say, this is what you should do!"

The old man blew his beard and stared: "Anyway, I have torn my face, so what face is there for me!"
