A man in the ark was forced to become a king

"But what about after that?"

"What will happen to the people who have adapted to the existing rules? How will the people who depend on those companies survive?"

"Reality is cruel, Margaret."

"You have to know that what ordinary people really care about is not who is above them giving orders. What they care about is whether they can fill their stomachs and live a stable life."

"But we can do it. As long as the Business Federation disappears, the knights will liberate the oppressed people, and Casimir will regain the glory he deserves!"

Margaret clenched her hands into fists, her eyes burning.

The young knight lacks experience and rich life experience. Although she has no strength, she is not yet capable of deeper thinking and cannot understand the hidden meaning of the elders' words.

Maena saw this and no longer remained silent.

"Margaret, what is your ideal knight like?"

"You don't have to answer me, I know your answer."

"Loyalty, justice, bravery, kindness, tolerance, etiquette, courage, dedication, nobility... These are the virtues that a knight should have. Knights must use their noble character to gain people's love and awe, establish order with fraternity, and restore order with awe. Justice and truth.”

"I don't deny that there are such noble people, but the reality is that that is a realm that most people cannot reach."

"You think it's the businessmen and business federations that are oppressing the people of Casimir and making this country what it is today."

"But have you ever thought about it, before the rise of businessmen who relied on the status of knights' retinues, and before the Chamber of Commerce took control of power, who was exploiting the poor and oppressing the people? Who was standing in the tower of power? At the top, enslaving people?”

"of course--"

Margaret subconsciously wanted to answer, but paused at the moment when the words were about to come out, and froze in place.

Her uncle's voice seemed to sound from the deep darkness, reaching deep into her heart, making her shudder.

Yes, before the businessman, who was it?

The answer is obvious.

However, the too clear answer filled her with fear, and an indescribable tremor crept up her body. Her long-standing good understanding of the knight seemed to have an irreparable crack.

Before the merchant, there was the knight.

In the past, the kingdom of Pegasus was overthrown by the turmoil caused by nightmares, and then the Knights ended the chaos and established a new kingdom of knights. For a long time in history, knights ruled this country.

Oppression is from top to bottom and can only come from the rulers.

In a daze, Margaret thought of the Wushu Alliance. She vaguely remembered that in the history of the family collection, the Wushu Alliance was originally a legal resistance organization composed of the oppressed. Their first assassination targets were knights.

That is to say...

"As you think."

Cyril sighed with a complicated expression.

If possible, he would prefer that the young knights understand this matter later, but contrary to expectations, it is time for his upright granddaughter to understand the truth hidden under the glamorous appearance, although it may be too cruel for her .

However, there are some things that are much better for him to know than from the enemy.

"In the so-called country of knights, how many knights were there before the Commercial Federation came into being?"

"That's a pretty huge number. Not everyone can maintain themselves under the temptation of power and wealth. There are very few people who can do it."

"Most of the knights are just stronger ordinary people. They are no different from the nobles of other countries."

"When you were born, the Federation of Commerce had gradually taken control of Casimir. There were many things you had never seen with your own eyes."

"In that era, the knights and nobles controlled Casimir's upper-level power. Ordinary people could only make ends meet by becoming knights' servants or slave workers. They had a meager income and lived without dignity. Among those knights and nobles, Under the oppression of the nobles, some of the knights' retinues united and stole the wealth of the nobles."

“That was the germ of the business federation.”

"In the beginning, they were just a group of poor people who wanted to escape oppression."

"You think that the business federation is an exploiter who rides on the people's heads. I don't deny this. However, their existence does make the lives of ordinary people at the bottom much easier."

"At least people can find a living job in the factories they open and live as human beings."

"Do you think we are powerless to stop the growth of the Business Federation?"

"No, we have a chance. At the beginning, a group of ordinary people with weak bodies, even if they can use their money to hire some good guys with good skills, cannot be the opponents of the Knights. We can easily defeat them. Even now, we can drag them to death together.”

"But that's meaningless. From the perspective of the entire country, although it is ridiculous, this is the fact - even the business federation that you think is rotten, under their management, is better than the card in the era of aristocratic rule. Simil is better off.”

"So we didn't stop them, we even helped them stop some of the trouble and proactively contributed to the current situation."

"This is the truth, the truth about Casimir, the truth about the knight."

"The kingdom of knights you yearn for did not exist from the beginning. There is no such thing, never has been."

"Why, how could this be..."

Margaret staggered back, and was supported from behind by Marner, who was well prepared. The young knight grabbed his uncle's arm, his eyes full of prayer and hope.

She hoped to get a negative answer, but Maena could only nod silently.

The tiny movement took away all the strength of the young knight in an instant, causing her to almost fall to the ground.

The mental blow and the shattering of dreams are far more devastating than the physical pain.

The so-called truth about Casimir was too difficult for a girl of her age to accept. All the beautiful imaginations disappeared, and the vision for the country of knights was shattered, leaving only ruins.

"Why is this, how is this..."

The girl's moans were like the whines of a young animal. Maena dragged her forcefully, pulled her to the bed and sat down, sighing deeply.

He also didn't want his niece to be exposed to these things prematurely. However, the old man's approach was more radical than he expected. Should it be said that it was worthy of the same bloodline?

Now, he only hopes that Margaret can be more determined, walk out of the ruins of those beautiful illusions, find herself again, and become a truly determined knight.

"The country of knights does not exist..."

Margaret murmured softly, her body trembled slightly, but she soon calmed down, she tightened her grip, her muscles tensed, her empty and confused eyes gradually became firmer, and in the depths of her eyes, there seemed to be a bright golden bloom.

"If there is a chance, if there is a chance, we can do it, I can do it..."

"Since it doesn't exist, then create one, create a real kingdom of knights!"

"Whether it is the knights and nobles of the old era or the current business federation, sweep them all into the dust of history!"

"Gold will cover the earth, and the true kingdom of knights will be born from gold!"

Chapter 43 Xuan Tie, Death

It’s over, the stimulation was so great that it drove the child crazy...

Ma Enna was shocked and quickly held down Margaret who was suddenly excited.

Good guy, originally you just wanted to overthrow the Chamber of Commerce, but now you want to establish your own country, right?

How dare you think that?

"Calm down, Margaret. I know this is difficult for children of your age to accept. You are in the best time of your life. You have something that can be called precious and you are full of hopes for the future. Longing, but the world is never what you imagine it to be."

Cyril patted Maena on the shoulder, looked at his lost granddaughter sitting by the bed, and sighed.

"Maena, are there other guests downstairs? You go down, and you must not be rude in front of the guests. Margaret will stay here first, and I will enlighten her."

"Yes."

The old man's order made Ma Enna feel dazed for a moment, as if he had returned to a few years ago.

At that time, the Linguang family was far less depressed than it is now, and they didn't need to worry about those complicated things. I really miss it...

……

"Sister, are you my sister's friend?"

"Sister, can I touch your hair?"

In the living room, the little Maria bit her fingers and stared at Shining's hanging white hair with her big bright eyes, her face full of excitement.

Apparently, this little guy is very interested in Shining's hair.

"……Can."

Shining held her sword, and her face that was used to keeping an expressionless state helped her cover up the little panic and confusion in her heart.

She is not good at dealing with children of this age. She has little experience and does not know how to contact them. In the past, she has had very few face-to-face interactions with people. Where is the opportunity to learn how to interact with children? get along?

Following the principle of doing less, making fewer mistakes, and not doing well, she simply maintained a sculpture-like posture, motionless, like a large doll, letting little Maria lie down next to her, holding a lock of her hair with her little hands.

Fortunately, little Maria didn't do anything excessive. She just grabbed her hair and rubbed it gently, sniffing it with her small nose.

'My hair shouldn't have any bad smell, right? '

His limp body lay on his lap. Shining's body became stiffer and stiffer. He didn't dare to make any unnecessary movements. He just hugged the sword tighter to avoid letting the hard scabbard touch the half of his body. little girl.

"Maria! Why did you rub yourself on the guest? It's so rude!"

Zofia, who was running in a hurry, saw this scene and quickly quickened her pace, trying to pull away from Shining's arms.

"It's okay, just let her stay here."

Shining squeezed out a few words with a straight face, hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and touched the girl's smooth blond hair.

"Big sister smells very good, like sunshine, very comfortable..."

Maria rubbed her head against the palm of her head, murmured softly, and leaned most of her body against Shining.

"It really makes you laugh."

Zofia was a little at a loss, smiling awkwardly and not knowing what to do. In her impression, Maria was not usually like this, let alone behaved so rudely to a stranger she met for the first time. .

However, the guest didn't seem to reject it, which made her very embarrassed, wondering whether she should pull this clingy little guy away.

"What's your name?"

Maena, who came down from upstairs in time, helped Zofia out of the situation and motioned to Zofia with her eyes to get some snacks, drinks, fruits and the like, which temporarily freed her from the awkward atmosphere here.

He himself sat on the sofa beside the coffee table, forcing a smile on his rigid face, which looked very unskilled.

"The Shining."

Shining twitched the corner of his mouth and responded with a smile. The two people's eyes met, and after seeing the stiff expression on the other's face, they felt as if they were looking in a mirror.

"Hello, Miss Shining, I am Margaret's uncle, Maena Linguang. She may have mentioned me to you. Forgive me, what is your relationship with Margaret?"

"We are colleagues and friends. This mission was carried out by me, her and another senior in the early stage."

"Task?"

Ma Enna pondered slightly, not surprised by Shining's answer. Compared to the relationship between his niece and Miss Shining, he was more interested in the 'mission' and the organization to which they both belonged.

"Margaret didn't mention who she is working for now, can you tell me?"

"Golden Tree, she and I are both operators affiliated with Golden Tree, but we belong to different departments."

"That's it. So, are you her superior? A person like you must have a higher position than Margaret."

Golden Tree, a completely unfamiliar name.

Of course, it could also be an organization with a prominent reputation in other countries, but he didn't know it.

After all, since that incident, he has also encountered many restrictions. The channels for obtaining information are very limited, and it is inevitable that the information will be blocked.

However, with those treasures that can bring people back to their youth, and a master like Shining, his strength is not too weak no matter how he thinks about it.

"No, you misunderstood."

Ma Enna's straightforward communication style and his own rigid social posture made Shining quite fond of him. It was as if he saw another version of himself, and he felt much more relaxed during the conversation.

"Margaret and I are on the same level, but she is an operator in the field department and I am a doctor in the medical department."

"doctor?"

The voice rose a bit, and Ma Enna's eyes stayed on the dark sword for a moment. After realizing that this was a bit impolite, he immediately moved away, but there was still a slight confusion on his face.

There is no doubt that Shining's strength is very strong, the upper limit is unknown, at least it will not be weaker than him.

A strong person of this level is just an ordinary operator like his niece?And he's also a doctor from the medical department?

What kind of place is the Golden Tree? Is it so magical?

"Yes, I am indeed a medical operator. The sword is only for self-defense. I... don't like fighting with others."

Well, you say yes.

Ma Enna decided not to dwell too much on this topic. Anyway, it made no difference to him whether he was a field worker or a doctor.
