Ark of the Immortal

What a powerful knight. If it was a few decades ago, he would have been able to fight through these crooked guys, right? If he had appeared ten years earlier, he would have been able to compete with that black knight. It will be another unforgettable game then.”

Although Martin's words were also full of praise for the immortals, what he said now was more of regret.

Maria tilted her head, she still couldn't understand what Martin meant. But the old knight and the big white bear on the side already understood Martin's words.

Their originally happy expressions gradually subsided.

Indeed, if it were him, there is a great possibility that he would lose consecutively in the next games.

The old knight also shook his head.

What a pity.

Why?!

Maria asked puzzledly, holding a wine glass filled with milk in both hands.

The teacher is so strong, how could this happen?

The big white bear reached out and patted Maria on the head. He glanced at Zofia next to him.

What did Zofia mean by the way of nature, so she spoke up to explain to Maria.

Your teacher, he became a knight as a competitive knight supported by the company. But no matter what company it is, it will be controlled by the business alliance. If the immortal wants to participate, he has to rely on the company to arrange registration for him.

In other words, the Immortals are able to play the game all because of the company. And without the help of the company, the immortal's knighthood is likely to be cancelled.

Chengjin Company's current market is not very good either. In addition, your teacher has been wearing the same set of armor since he started playing games until now. In other words, he has not accepted a sponsorship contract from any company.

Zofia said worriedly.

If he cannot create enough value, Chengjin Company is likely to put pressure on him and force him to accept those contracts. Even under the threat of the business alliance, Chengjin Company is likely to hide your teacher in the snow. He will not be able to participate in any more knightly competitions.

This is not alarmist, this is the most real situation.

Over the past few decades, things like this have happened all the time.

The Black Knight, who has won the championship three times in a row, has won too many championships, causing the knight competition market to lose its original freshness. The business alliance, which saw its harvest decline every year, gave her a choice. Either join a company or leave Casimir and never come back.

Finally, a huge consortium from Kjerag offered a price that the Casimir Business Alliance could not refuse, allowing them to release him and take away the Black Knight, whose strength was immeasurable.

The winner of the last Casimir Major, the Glory Knight Margaret, also participated as an independent knight. No corporate sponsorship was accepted and no value was created for these companies.

Some time after the game, Casimir was expelled by the Business Alliance on the pretext that she concealed her identity as an infected person.

Now, the undead are also facing this situation.

The Knights Association and the Business Alliance maintain a fragile agreement. Although it is fragile, it is still an agreement.

If the Immortal insists on continuing to play the game with his own equipment, he is going against the entire business alliance.

When the time comes, not even Chengjin Company can save him.

This is the fate of competitive knights. Independent knights do not have enough resources to guarantee their own training, treatment and equipment. Competitive knights with corporate backgrounds will inevitably become victims of corporate interests.

Knight sports are treated as commodities and are in the hands of knight associations and business alliances.

While bringing great wealth to Casimir, it also gradually destroyed the people of Casimir's understanding of knights.

There is also a prohibition in the knight competition, that is, knights from the border are prohibited from participating.

There is no other reason, it's just because he can't beat him.

If the knights participate in the competition, 80% or even 90% of the knights will be squeezed out. Then Casimir's military took over the Knights Athletics, which was the last thing the Business Alliance wanted to see.

As long as there are enough benefits, these businessmen will not care about knights' honor and chivalry.

There is only one thing in their eyes.

money.

What should we do?

Maria clutched the milk cup in her hand, looking very nervous.

Zofia didn’t want to tell Maria this right now, but there were some things she had to say, just to dispel Maria’s desire to compete.

Your teacher is resisting in his own way, one-on-five, defeating the business alliance's conspiracy head-on.

Zofia said.

Now let's see where that knight's limit is and how far he can go.

No one would not respect a knight like the Immortal. But the question is, how strong is he? Is what they see now all he has?

If this is all the Immortal has to offer, then what awaits him is constant targeting from the Business Alliance.

And the honor of being trampled underfoot again.

At this time, the undead man was at home, staring at the bonfire in a daze.

The armor on the shoulders was still damaged, and the scratches on the helmet were clearly visible.

This is not an invincible armor. After the shield blocked most of the attacks for him, an attack finally hit his armor, causing the armor to start to get hurt.

But does the knight rely on more than just armor?

Doesn't it rely on superb martial arts and a heart to protect honor?

The undead man sitting in front of the bonfire slowly raised his head and looked out the window.

Come in, the window is unlocked.

After a brief silence, a small figure appeared outside the window. The man got in and stepped lightly on the ground.

It is truly an immortal legend, a terrifying insight.

38. Warning from the prison

Your colleagues know how to hide better than you.

The undead man whispered, and he looked at the female knight who came in from the window and landed gently on the ground.

This is the third time today. Why do you want to follow me?

It was a girl wearing a black hoodie. If it weren't for the half breastplate hanging on the chest, even the undead wouldn't be able to confirm the knight's identity.

Black knee-high socks wrapped a pair of perfectly proportioned wheat-colored legs, but the shoes on the feet were confusing.

Does anyone really wear high heels for a stealth job?

Colleagues? I don't have any colleagues.

The girl with healthy wheat-colored skin was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and denied the immortal's words.

From here to the arena. From the arena to here. Then you disappear and come back.

The undead man randomly picked a piece of firewood from the pile next to him and threw it into the fire in front of him.

Why, follow me.

The female knight couldn't help but take a step back.

She always thought that she was very good at concealing her aura, but she was easily noticed by the knight in front of her.

She thought the wind had just blown through the branches, and when she adjusted her pace, she stepped on the dead branches and was heard by the undead.

I'm very sorry, Your Excellency the Immortal. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Li, Knight Casimir.

As a female knight, Li retained the etiquette that a knight should have. She bowed slightly to the undead to show her respect for the strong knight in front of her.

The reason why I came to follow you, sir, is because my master is very interested in the behavior of Mr. Immortal.

Your home, sir.

The immortal thought for a while. He probably didn't know any master. Who could Li be talking about?

Yes, my master.

After a pause, she began to explain to the undead.

My husband is a member of the Casimir Prison. This may be an unfamiliar name to you. But it is enough for you to know that the Prison is the highest authority in Casimir.

Casimir's Prison, this should be a name that everyone in Casimir is familiar with, but Ke Li's words have already shown his understanding of the undead.

She knew that the undead must not be familiar with Casimir Prison.

You are not a Casimir. The master said that the use of those swords and shields is not a skill that the Casimir knight is familiar with.

Um.

The immortal nodded. He did not deny that he was indeed not a citizen of Casimir.

He was just a passing ghost who briefly lived in Casimir.

Prisoner, I don't like it, no, I'm from Casimir, knight?

Ah, that's not true.

Li shook her head, she said.

Casimir welcomes all knights, as long as they can bring value to Casimir.

The value she is talking about here is undoubtedly commercial value.

Li said something immediately after this sentence.

However, Casimir also needs to remember the honor. Both Casimir himself and everyone affected by Casimir must understand. The value of knights should not only be measured by business, bringing hope and driving away despair , abiding by honor itself is the core value of the knight.

? The undead man looked at the female knight who called herself Li with some surprise. He was surprised to hear these words from a female knight.

Of course, I didn't say that myself.

Li seemed to understand that the undead would be confused about the origin of this sentence, and she explained it for the undead.

This is what my master told me. These are his exact words. Let me tell you this.

Your home, master. Not bad.

The immortal nodded and expressed his appreciation for the man who could say this.

There was no change in Li's expression. It would be better to say that there was no change since entering the undead room.

She always smiles, but you can't find any emotion on her smiling face. Whether it's joy or coldness, this smile has become part of her disguise.

Also, my master asked me to ask you whether you will continue to participate in the Casimir Knights Special Championship.

Li finally revealed the most important purpose of coming here.

The undead man said doubtfully.

Of course, yes. Why, ask this.

Because it affects what you're going to face next.

Li said as she came to the campfire and asked the undead.

Can I sit down and talk? I'm a little tired from squatting outside just now.

The undead man nodded, and Li sat cross-legged next to the bonfire.

After sitting firmly, Li's two furry ears hidden in her pink hair twitched comfortably.

The warm bonfire in the house was really comforting, and she began to understand why the old-school Casimir people liked to raise bonfires and sit around them.

This is a pleasure.

Given your current strength, it is not difficult to get a high ranking in the major tournament, and it is even possible to win the championship. This is a comment made by the old man himself. Of course, he is telling When I said this, I hadn’t watched today’s game.”

Li's words also contained appreciation for the Immortal's game today.

Today's game was exciting, and I'm happy to see the ending, Mr. Immortal.

Thanks.

The undead man thanked Li for his appreciation, then nodded and motioned for Li to continue.

But the key point is that you have not accepted even a contract so far. Maybe you don't know that this kind of thing is not allowed to exist in the eyes of the business alliance.

Li explained why to the undead.

Because you may have a high enough ranking. But you will not bring even a single change to Casimir's business. During this time, those guys in the Business Alliance are already making a lot of noise. Chengjin Company Over there, there is also a completely polarized attitude because of the threat from the business alliance.”

When Li said this, she thought of the last knight champion, the Glory Knight.

She still remembered when the original Glory Knight left Casimir.
