Arknights' Lock of Heaven

This is probably the unified reaction of these high-level officials after they learned about it.

My goodness, that's amazing.

But actually, it's just that distance makes the heart grow fonder.

Kazimir and Yan Kingdom are truly far apart, and they don't usually have much interaction. Yan Kingdom's position on the continent is quite isolated, and its only trading port, Longmen, is still...

Just like the chivalric romances of Casimir, the martial arts stories passed down orally among the people of Yan are pretty much the same thing.

Everyone is glorifying those beautiful things that have been passed down through generations.

But just like the Candle Knight who grew up reading knight novels and longed for Kazimierz, only to find out that the novels were just novels when he actually arrived there.

If given time to investigate, they will surely discover that the so-called heroes are nothing more than the yearning of the lower classes for justice and fairness.

But unfortunately, there wasn't that much time, and Xia Yu's behavior was too similar to the legendary chivalrous figure...

I ask for nothing in return, only for the sake of my conscience!

At least that's how it appears to outsiders.

Isn't that a coincidence?

It's worth noting that the Major, a well-known tournament on Terra, has attracted many people from Yan Country.

Xia Yu's words back then really suited their taste!

What? Those words were completely useless? They won't change Kazimir's current situation in the slightest? And it will only offend Kazimir, isn't that a wise move?

Is it because evil cannot be stopped that we dare not even speak out?

Are you afraid to stand up just because you might offend Kazimir?

It is this spirit of "I will go even if there are thousands of people against me" that truly defines a hero!

Unbeknownst to Xia Yu, he already had a group of enthusiastic fans in the Great Knight Territory.

Although most people's attention was diverted to Margaret by the joint efforts of the Business Council and the Securities and Futures Commission, these people still kept a close eye on him.

What Radiant Knight? I'm really not familiar with that!

Even in the distant Yan Kingdom, the news traveled across the entire Ursus and finally reached the ears of the Yan people.

hiss……

Si Suitai gasped upon hearing this, then turned around and immediately went to investigate the information about those fragments without saying a word.

Especially that one named Nian! Starting with a cannon... although it's not her usual style, at least in terms of power it matches well with forging and metal!

Look at the others: the poet and the drunkard are impossible, the cook is not either, the chess player has long been obsessed, the calligrapher is gone, and the painter is still in a state of self-isolation...

After thinking it over, the only one who came close was Nian, and coincidentally, her whereabouts were also unknown.

What are we waiting for? Let's investigate!

At that time, in the imperial court, the emperor pondered and pondered, but he just couldn't figure out where this person came from.

Although the Great Yan Kingdom possesses abundant treasures and countless people, those with such abilities are not like cabbages in the field, readily available everywhere.

Any person from Yan with such skill would surely have a reputation, right? From their upbringing to their apprenticeship, how could they possibly remain unknown?

You must know, this is a ruthless person who can denounce the ills and corrupt elements of his country in front of almost the entire nation of Kasimir and still be alive and kicking!

Although Kazimir seems to be hesitant to act against the law, you still need to have the ability to make others hesitant to act against you, right?

If you replaced it with someone else, they'd never see the sun rise tomorrow.

In the end, the officials in the court looked at each other, none of them having any recollection of such a person or the name Xia Yu.

Finally, the conclusion is—it's those fragments, right? It must be, right?

So Si Suitai will have to work overtime again...

Furthermore, we plan to send someone to that company called Rhodes Island to find out who this Xia Yu really is.

To be honest, Yan Kingdom wasn't truly ignorant of the Xia language.

At the very least, Wei Yanwu knew about it.

But does he dare to say it?

Dare?

It's like being caught in a trap while sitting at home!

He knew Xia Yu was good at fighting, but he never expected her to be this good!

They can shit on someone else's head and the other country just tolerated it...

Such people... Thinking back to what he had done... Old Wei suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

Thank you, hero, for sparing my life.

Then, he was troubled again about whether or not to report the matter.

The reason is simple: Longmen's position is awkward. After all, his special status already makes him a target of suspicion, and if he were to be impeached for associating with such a person...

He's truly beyond redemption, no matter how hard he tries!

Moreover, Rhodes Island... as everyone knows, her heir, Hui Jie... she also went to Rhodes Island...

This makes it even harder to clear my name!

This has left him in a very difficult position.

Report it to higher authorities. To be honest, this is a bit awkward. Even the emperor couldn't figure out who this person came from, and you say you know...

Let's not report it... the truth will eventually come out, and what if it gets out someday...

That would be even more painful.

Wei Yanwu was in a bad mood, but Rhodes Island wasn't going to give in much.

On board the ship, Kal'tsit calmly distributed photos of Xia Yu's achievements to everyone.

Then, he ignored Amiya and sternly rejected her request.

"This is not for children!"

Those around glanced at the photo and then gasped.

hiss……

Faced with Amiya's pleading gaze, everyone agreed, acknowledging that this was indeed not a restricted scene suitable for children.

Even they, well, to be honest, found it somewhat disgusting.

"Maybe we should just let him come back..." Ascalon was so worried, "He shouldn't be out there causing trouble..."

Although it can fly,... who knows when it might cause a major scandal that even Rhodes Island can't cover up.

He can just walk away and leave, but what about Rhodes Island?

Ascalon likes to think the worst of everything.

“No,” Kal'tsit calmly refused.

“This is already dancing on the edge of the Kazimierz line,” Ascalon frowned. She was usually a woman of few words, but when it came to something this important, she couldn’t hold back.

“Even if we have a deal with the SEC, will they protect Xia Yu if this continues?”

“No,” Kal’tsit said calmly, “Perhaps you have misunderstood something. Although we have a deal with the Witness Association, it never includes Xia Yu’s personal safety.”

Ha, I'd rather worry about the safety of the Grand Knights than him.

"Wait, are you just going to let him do this...? And didn't the doctor say he definitely has bigger plans?"

"Aren't you afraid of causing a huge uproar?"

“I’ll answer that question,” the Doctor said, putting down the photo in his hand. He glanced at Amiya, who was eager to try something, then covered the photo again before saying, “I’m afraid Kal’tsit would love for him to make a bigger scene.”

"Wait, what does this mean?"

Ascalon, Warfarin, and Closure were unable to comprehend it.

Why do they want him to make a bigger scene? Aren't they afraid that Rhodes Island will never be able to leave Kazimierz?

"Although you have been asleep for a long time, your vision is still amazing."

Kal'tsit nodded to the Doctor.

Then, in the doctor's ears, her words were automatically translated as, "It's a pity that you haven't damaged your brain after sleeping for so long."

Don't blame her for making such a guess; it's all because Kal'tsit hasn't given the Doctor a kind look these days, and has been very sarcastic and unfriendly.

She's used to it.

Kal'tsit looked around and then said calmly, "It was I who suggested that he go to the Grand Knights' Territory."

"I suggested he make a scene, I suggested he become famous, I suggested he declare his existence to the world."

"As for the reason..." she looked at the doctor beside her.

"The reason is," the doctor said, tapping the table lightly, "that there will never be such a good opportunity again."

"And fame... you must understand, fame is not just a good thing, it's also a shackle, a constraint!"

"Kazimir, the Knights' Arena, the Confederation of Supervisors and the Business Federation—their conflict can no longer be concealed..."
