Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

"Sorry, I'm late."

Beichen quickly sent Margaret back to the bar, and Zofia, who had been waiting for a long time, had already begun to get anxious.

"Margaret! What happened? Why do they say you were taken away by the Candle Knight?! What did that woman say to you? Did she threaten you? Could it be the Business Federation............!"

Zofia's worries were not unreasonable. After all, on the surface, Candle Knight was definitely on the side of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Alas, Zofia, if I hadn't brought Margaret back, she would have probably..."

Beichen shook his head and sighed.

"What?"

Sofia rushed to Margaret's side, wondering if she was injured.

"I'm afraid I'll just have to stay there and have a candlelight dinner with them face to face."

Beichen shrugged and said the second half of the sentence.

"...............Um?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, Beichen? You are just avoiding reporters and the media."

Margaret held her forehead helplessly, don't explain it in such a way that might cause misunderstanding.

"Really?"

Sofia's eyes were still full of suspicion.

"What nonsense? Didn't you notice the look in Candle Knight's eyes? When she looked at you, her eyes were almost threaded. It was obvious that she was interested."

Beichen retorted somewhat unconvincedly, it was outrageous that Margaret couldn't see that.

"........I'd love it if my next opponent was you."

Margaret stood there in silence for a long time before she uttered these words.

"Well, Candle Knight Droste has always been an unpredictable person, but I don't have a bad impression of her."

Fogwald commented that in terms of the entertainment value of the game, he still quite liked watching the Candle Knight's games.

"But in terms of popularity, she is probably in the top three levels of knights in Casimir. The amount of water she generates every year is enough to build a fortress."

Koval once accidentally learned of this outrageous number, which was really jaw-dropping.

He has top strength among competitive knights, but on the other hand, he crushes all idol knights. This is all natural.

"What kind of knight is she? I want to hear your opinions."

Margaret was also very curious about this. If possible, she really wanted to chat with Candle Knight for a while longer, but now there was no chance.

"So there's not much time left before the official competition, and you don't even know your next opponent, but instead your opponent pulls you over and studies you carefully?"

Sophia said unhappily.

"Aren't you guys here?"

"Humph, smooth talk is useless to me."

After a pause, Zofia began to talk about what she knew about the Candle Knight.

"A super star, a one-of-a-kind existence. Some even call her the second 'Black Knight'."

Such a high evaluation? Maybe it is indeed a bit fan-filtered, but it also proves that her strength should not be underestimated.

"From Leitania, with a terrifying talent for magic, aristocratic upbringing, beautiful looks, and an amazing record in battle."

However, is there a possibility that the Candle Knight was originally a noble, although few people in Casimir knew about this?

"Coupled with the mystery of her origin, Candle Knight became one of the most well-known knights in Casimir almost overnight. To this day, the media is still digging into her private life as a topic, and whether it is true or false, it can always set off a wave of discussion."

"But she's definitely not a show-off."

Margaret recalled the meeting just now.

"I have seen many talented magicians during my wanderings and in Rhodes Island. Even compared to the most outstanding magicians on earth..."

Having said that, Margaret's gaze inevitably turned to Beichen.

What are you looking at me for? I don't want to be the magician of this game.

"Ahem, she may not be a fighter, but she is definitely not to be underestimated."

Margaret quickly withdrew her gaze. There was no point in comparing anyone with this guy Beichen.

"Speaking of Leitania, we can't avoid mentioning the Black Knight. The Leitanian, who doesn't know any magic, seems to be a natural warrior."

Who says the mace can't cast spells? Just hit the staff until it casts spells on its own (sure)

"And the Candle Knight is the complete opposite of her, a very standard Leitanian knight who fits all of Casimir's audience's imaginations of another country."

“Although we don’t know what the core of her Originium skill is, the ‘candle’ does come from her equipment shape and combat style.”

But don't be fooled by her fancy appearance. The more special effects she has, the higher the damage.

Of course, except for special circumstances.

After saying this, Zofia looked at Margaret with a suspicious look and asked.

"What's with that smile on your face?"

"Smile, is there? Hmm............"

Alas, this time it won't really be a two-way journey.

"In terms of talent, she is one of the ten youngest great knights in history. In terms of strength, she is still steadily improving."

I feel like this sentence can also be used to describe Margaret.

"Did my aunt and sister also prepare for the special tournament like this before?"

Maria, who had been silent all this time, finally found the opportunity to ask a question.

"before?"

Thinking about what happened in the past, Sofia was still a little angry. She glared at Margaret fiercely and spoke.

"Some people disappeared after the competition. Not to mention not coming to the celebration party, they even secretly went to Maenna to practice swordsmanship while recovering from injuries."

"When we found her, she was dragging her injured body in the yard trying out Originium skills. I wanted to ask at that time, don't you feel any pain?"

"My Originium technique can relieve pain, so......"

Margaret said a little embarrassedly.

"That's not real treatment after all, otherwise what's the value of modern medicine?"

Hearing this, Margaret subconsciously looked up at Beichen again.

"I don't deny that, but I do know many amazing doctors, and thanks to their amazing skills, saving others is no longer an unattainable idea, either physically or mentally."

Margaret retracted her gaze again and said so.

"Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals? Or those two Miss Sarkaz?"

"All of them, they are all people who are struggling with suffering."
