Before long, on Golden Feather Avenue.

Platinum changed her appearance before going on the mission, wearing a hat to cover her neatly styled platinum blonde hair and a mask to conceal her beautiful face.

Although this makes her stand out a little, there's nothing that can be done about it.

After all, from a generally rational point of view, Platinum is indeed too good-looking. She used to be an idol knight, and she belongs to the type who can make a living based on her looks.

Her striking appearance can sometimes be a burden on her work.

"This is such a hassle, which is why assassination missions suit me better."

Simple, efficient, and fast.

All you need to do is lock onto the target, then find the right moment to pierce her heart with an arrow. No one will notice her, which is infinitely better than this troublesome task.

However, in order to enjoy her short holiday, Platinum had no choice but to endure the discomfort and start working.

She didn't immediately follow Bai Xun directly. Instead, she planned to investigate his residence while he was out, hoping to find some interesting clues.

"Two Liberians arrived in Kazimir at the same time as him. One of them is an infected person who has joined an infected group. There is not much to note about him."

Another woman named Horhysya, seemingly his lover, is living with him in an extremely close relationship and also acts as his manager. She has not demonstrated any combat ability or Originium Arts.

Recalling the intelligence gathered by the Wuzhou Alliance, Bai Jin had already quietly infiltrated the hotel room where Bai Xun had been staying these past few days.

"Da~ Da la da da da la~ Da da la da da la da~?"

The room was filled with melodious and ethereal music. The plump and elegant feathered serpent was sipping her own cocktail, her slender tail curling up another thick book and placing it on her lap.

With a gentle breeze turning the pages, the feathered serpent, dwelling in history, savors the history contained within these books borrowed from the Casimir Library.

These days, Horhaya has been living a very comfortable and fulfilling life. Apart from working hard for Bai Xun during the day and being worked hard by Bai Xun at night, she basically spends her time at home listening to music and reading books. This is the time she has enjoyed the most in her life so far.

In the past, when I read books, I was burdened with a heavy responsibility, so I never felt as relaxed and at ease as I do now.

The platinum figure, perfectly blending into the shadows, observed the elegant and magnificent feathered serpent from the darkness. Its gaze lingered for a moment on her full breasts, and it clicked its tongue inwardly with displeasure.

Tsk, how despicable.

Luckily, I don't have such big breasts, otherwise the bowstring would definitely lie on my chest, and my stealth would also be affected.

Yes, my figure is still the most perfect!

Even though she was in the same room as Horhaya, Platinum wasn't nervous at all. After all, she was a ruthless person who could order a pizza while infiltrating someone else's house. This level of infiltration was a piece of cake for her.

This big-breasted, brainless Liboli will never discover her infiltration in her lifetime.

In an era where three-red berserkers are posing as assassins everywhere, it's truly remarkable that Platinum, a traditional stealth fighter, still exists.

But this Horhaia... why does she have Fydia's tail when she's clearly Liboli?

Bai Jin was a little confused, but since it wasn't part of her mission, she didn't dwell on it too much.

Instead, he planned to bypass Horhaya and sneak into Bai Xun's room to see if he could find any useful clues.

But just then, Holhaya, who had been sitting quietly on the sofa reading, suddenly stood up, stretched, and displayed her full and alluring body, showing off her beautiful curves to the fullest.

At the same time, he said softly, as if talking to himself.

"Little Pegasus, what specialties does your Kazimierz have?"

"Ok?"

Platinum's pupils suddenly contracted, and his body stiffened as he stealthily moved forward.

Is this Li Boli asking her?

When did she discover herself?

"Being too quiet isn't good, little one~"

The serpentine whispers returned, making Platinum realize that she had truly been discovered.

Almost simultaneously, Platinum drew a specially crafted longbow from behind him and instantly extended it, the arrow gleaming with a cold light, ready to be released, pointing directly at Horhaia, who was smiling.

But that's all the platinum can do.

Time seemed to stand still, holding the white-haired Pegasus in that moment of kneeling on the ground, bowstring drawn taut.

"What a beautiful little guy."

Holhaya walked up to the platinum-colored ponies, which looked like sculptures, and carefully examined them.

As the feathered serpent, its forked tongue flicking, approached, Platinum struggled with all its might, but it didn't even have the strength to lift a finger.

It wasn't a time-stopping ability that could be used to create a book; Horhyah didn't have that power. She could only compress and solidify the air around Platinum at a high intensity.

Like creating a specimen, the platinum was frozen in time.

Unfortunately, although this little Pegasus was highly skilled, it did not have enough power to break through her air wall.

Holhaia pinched Bai Jin's chin, lifted her head, and nodded in satisfaction as she looked at her beautiful face.

"Oh my, look at me! What else could be the specialty of Kazimierz? Isn't it a beautiful little pony like you?"

The owner will definitely love it!

Wow, there's even time stop.jpg

Chapter 127 Can You, a Mere Arena Knight, Bear the Burden of Maria's Life? (4k)

Before meeting Haku Xun in person, Marna actually had a fairly good attitude towards this recently famous Sun Knight.

Although he believes that the knightly honor of knightly competition is nothing more than a game of capital, it is neither honorable, nor knightly, nor competitive.

But Marner also knew that he could see all this clearly because of his rich experience, rational thinking, and suppressed anger, and he couldn't expect young people like Margaret and Bai Xun to be like him.

They are still young, their passion is still burning, and their rationality has not yet been clouded.

They deserve anger, they deserve to shine, and they should try to raise a flame to illuminate suffering on this land of suffering and darkness in their own way.

After all, I was like that back then...

So when he heard that there were pure knights like Haku Xun in Kazimierz, he felt a little relieved, in addition to sorrow and helplessness.

Although the young man didn't know why he had some kind of ambiguous relationship with his cousin Zofia and visited her mansion every day on days without knightly competitions, he thought that Zofia was getting on in years and it was time to talk about marriage.

If it is such an outstanding young man, even the competitive knight Marna, whom he does not agree with, will respect and bless Zofia.

but!

but!

Marna gripped the sword in his right hand, a sword that had not been drawn for many years. A deep, twilight-like halo flowed around the hilt of the sword, revealing that this patriarch of the Lin Guang family was not as calm as the rigid Marna.

“Maria, I need an explanation.”

He originally thought that Zofia was taking advantage of a younger man and getting together with Bai Xun, but now it seems that it is more like the relationship between Maria and Bai Xun is somewhat abnormal.

It doesn't matter what Zofia does, Maria has only just come of age, and given her naive nature, she'd actually help count the money if she were fooled.

He vowed to protect his brother's two daughters. Margaret's exile had already dealt him a heavy blow, and now, seeing that the only one still alive, Maria, was about to be lured away by this white-haired knight, Marner simply couldn't calm down.

Maria is still in a daze when her uncle suddenly shows up at her door.

At the same time, it also brings the anxiety and fear of children who have made mistakes and are caught by their parents.

With a stiff little face, she hid behind Zofia, her thin lips barely moving as she tried to call for her aunt's help.

"Zofia, what should we do? What should we do?"

To Maria's surprise, Zofia, who had so confidently declared she was on her side, frowned, then pulled Maria to her side and said emotionlessly,

"Little Maria, this is something you have to face yourself."

A knight's mind should be clear; if he were to explain things to Maria first, it would only make Marna more disappointed in Maria.

Knowing Marna's personality, Zofia knew that now was not the time for her to speak up for Maria.

"sensei?"

Little Maria turned her head to look at Bai Xun with a sad expression, but the latter only gave her an encouraging look.

Maria finally gave up her illusions, took a deep breath, clenched her little fists, and prepared to explain her decision to her uncle.

"Uncle, I just... I just admire Mr. Bai Xun's chivalrous character and martial arts skills, that's why..."

Hey...

Sure enough, Maria, at the age when she is just beginning to experience romantic feelings, is most easily attracted to someone like Bai Xun. She doesn't have the same strength as her sister; her kindness and innocence become her weaknesses.

Hearing this, Marna had a general idea of ​​what was going on, but could only sigh helplessly.

While Marna was still pondering how to begin, Maria had already mustered her courage and continued.

"So I asked my aunt to find Mr. Haku Xun and asked him to be my teacher and guide me in the knight competition!"

"Oh, so you're here as a teacher instructing you in the Knights' Tournament? I thought you were talking about... no, participating in the Knights' Tournament? You!!"

Marna had just breathed a sigh of relief at Maria's sudden change of tone, but the next second she realized something was wrong.

What do you mean Maria is going to participate in the Knights' Tournament?!

This *Kasimir* swearing is worse than dating Haku Xun!

Under Marner's increasingly cold gaze, Maria revealed her true thoughts to this dignified and composed uncle for the first time.

"Uncle, the Linguang family is about to be stripped of its noble status. I know how hard you work to support your family, but I feel that this is not enough."

I want to help too. I want to protect the honor that the name 'Nearlight' represents, to protect the light that my parents and sister left me!

Maria felt her heart pounding, realizing for the first time that she could speak to Marna with such a loud voice and such unwavering determination.

But Marna remained completely unmoved by Maria's genuine feelings, only responding with a cold sneer.

Even if stripped of his noble title, Lin Guang is still Lin Guang.

You are not worthy to stand on the stage of the Knights' Arena, and the Knights' Arena is unworthy of the name of Nearl!

"But..."

Maria tried to explain further, but all she received in return was Marna's cold voice.

"No buts! Before you embarrass yourself on the arena, end this farce!"

"..."

"Maenna!"

Seeing Maria hanging her head in disappointment and sadness, even exuding an aura of tears about to spill over, Zofia could hardly stand it.

But before she could berate Marna, the person who had been observing the family conflict from the sidelines spoke first.

"Although it's not good to meddle in your family affairs, I am, after all, Maria's teacher now, and there is an old saying in our Great Yan: 'A teacher for a day is a father for life.'"

“Your statement is quite offensive, Mr. Bai Xun.”

Marner's brow furrowed even deeper, completely forgetting about the manager's task.

Do you really know what you're saying? What does your behavior mean?

The Linguang family has its own philosophy. You may think you are helping Maria pursue her dreams, but in my opinion you are just harming her.

Once this child steps onto the stage of knightly competition, public opinion and capital will come crashing down, dragging her and the Nearl family into an abyss of no return. You, a mere knight of competition, can you bear the burden of this child's life?

"Sure, how many do you want me to carry?"

Compared to Marna's bitter and resentful expression, Bai Xun laughed in an almost flippant manner.

“I can bear Maria’s life, and I can bear Zofia’s too.”

"Hey, what's this about me?"

Ignoring Zofia's voice, Bai Xun continued counting on his fingers.

"Even if you add Margaret and Marna's lives to the mix, I can still bear it all, so what?"

"Utterly absurd."

Bai Xun's frivolity and ignorance almost made Marner laugh in exasperation.

"What do you carry with you, your sword and your martial arts?"

Young man, the age of knights has passed for Kazimierz; individual bravery cannot stop the decline of an era.
