Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

Looking at Maria's face, Beichen seemed to be thinking about something. It wouldn't be a good idea to try to get close to her so directly.

Although given Maria's personality, it would be easy to get closer to him by just bringing up Lin Guang's matter and chatting about it.

But this is a bit too abrupt and can easily make people feel that you have ulterior motives.

Forget it.

Beichen grabbed another handful of French fries and stuffed them into his mouth. He thought that they would get to know each other sooner or later, so there was no need to rush.

After repairing the jukebox, Maria wiped the sweat from her head and turned her eyes to the TV screen.

"Registration for the 24th Casimir Special Tournament Knight Qualifiers has begun!"

Beichen also looked at the TV screen. The news about himself had been broadcasted, and now it was about the news about the registration for the preliminaries.

But when Maria saw the news, she seemed to remember something and her expression suddenly became lost, but she quickly shook her head and the expression on her face soon became firm.

It was probably because the Rinkou family would soon be stripped of their status as a knight noble due to bankruptcy.

Knight Yao was expelled from Casimir. A certain unknown working social animal has always looked down upon things like knight competitions. Zofia is only a branch of the Linguang family and cannot represent this family.

Of course, the most fatal thing is that Maria's parents are missing, and the Linguang family is now only in name only. Many people are eyeing this seemingly glorious name, but in fact they just want to use it for commercial purposes.

Some even went so far as to want to use the name of the Linguang family to create a knight order to participate in the knight competition. Of course, these unreasonable requests were rejected by a certain office worker with the words "I still need time to think about it."

But when the status of knight nobles was stripped away, these things would be very likely to come true, and Maria felt that she had to do something about it.

For example...participate in a knight competition and get a good result?

The idea came to her a few months ago when she accidentally heard that her uncle was in contact with a certain company, and now she has to do it.

"Tomorrow, I must sign up for the preliminaries!"

Maria made up her mind secretly.

I don’t know what happened, but Maria participated in the preliminaries much earlier than in the original plot, which Beichen did not expect.

This also led to her and Beichen meeting each other many times in the following competitions, and of course, Beichen took away a lot of points because of this.

"Girl, don't just stand there, come here, I'll tell you something interesting."

Before he could finish his words, Fogwald was punched by Koval.

"Can you call her a girl, Old Fu?"

At this time, Fogwald was a little drunk. He shook his body and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Hey, you...hiccup, you didn't dare to talk to me like this when you accompanied me to the border. Back then..."

Koval interrupted him before he could finish his words.

If this drunkard were allowed to continue talking, who knows how many of their embarrassing past events he would bring up.

"Old Fu! Are you talking big again?"

"Humph, were you my follower back then? Just tell me if you were or not!"

Fogwald took out a medal of honor from his pocket. When Koval saw this, he was also stunned.

"You still have this thing?"

As Koval asked, he turned around and took out a medal of honor from the toolbox he carried with him. Although it was gray, it was exactly the same as the one he had just seen.

"Tsk, didn't you keep it too? Just tell me if this medal is also thanks to me!"

Fugwald asked with his eyes wide open.

"Come on, if I hadn't repaired your armor, you would have been shot through by that crossbow arrow."

Koval couldn't help laughing, and reached out to knock on the armor that Fugwald was still wearing.

"Yo yo yo, you were surrounded at that time. If I hadn't rushed in to save you, you would have been captured and taken back to your hometown, hahaha."

This kind of conversation was commonplace to the other people in the bar, and everyone just watched the farce with a smile.

"My bar depends entirely on you two to liven up the atmosphere, but please don't fight. If you break any cups, you'll have to pay for it."

Martin said with a smile.

"Tsk, he's been nagging for decades, when have you ever seen him beat me in a fight?"

The old knight straightened his chest, as if trying to regain the feeling of his youth.

"I won last time. You two were arm wrestling. If I remember correctly, you beat Corvo to fourteen glasses of wine in one night."

"Uh...I was drunk and had arthritis last time, so that doesn't count!"

Classic stubbornness.

"Alas, it has been several years, Old Fu, and the followers have already put on suits and become your masters."

Koval shook his head and said helplessly.

"What words! What words are these!"

"Okay, okay, please stop making trouble."

In the end, it was Maria who came out to smooth things over. She was specifically responsible for doing this.

Although he knew Maria very well, Beichen still pretended to be curious and looked at Martin and asked.

"Boss, who is............?"

After all, most people would be very curious if such a cute girl suddenly appeared in a bar frequented by retired knights.

"You mean Maria?"

Martin glanced at Beichen, seemingly wondering whether it was necessary to tell him about this.

"She is Lin... ahem. Me and the two over there, Old Fu and Old Ke, we have all received the kindness of Maria's elders. They often took care of Maria when she was a child, so she still comes to us often now."

Martin almost blurted out "Lin Guang's child", but it was not a good idea to tell strangers about this, in case the other party had ulterior motives.

"I see."

Beichen nodded.

At the same time, Maria also noticed Beichen's presence, which was something new for her.

After all, the people who come to this bar are all old guys (I'm sure), and they are all familiar with Maria. There are very few people under the age of fifty who come to this bar, except for her and Zofia, of course.

"Uncle Martin, who was the person you were chatting with just now? "

While Beichen was sitting at a table far away and fiddling with the terminal, Maria quietly walked to the counter and asked in a low voice.

"Hey, girl, you're asking that too?"

Martin said with a smile, which made Maria confused.

Also asking this.....what does it mean?
