Deep Sea Hunter, but Deep Sea Titan

The old knight praised Amiya's way of handling things, which was far beyond her years, while also marveling at how adorable she was as a child.

"If I had a granddaughter, she would be about your age by now."

Amiya even heard these words.

The doctor observed Amiya's reaction and realized that she truly resembled a child being praised by a superior; she was really like his own daughter.

"Alright, alright, I won't disturb your rest any longer."

"I'm sorry, but the TVs in this hotel don't seem to be able to receive the Special Championship signal."

"We will urge the hotel to open a dedicated line as soon as possible."

The old knight left behind a fourth-tier warrior knight codenamed "Gravel" as a bodyguard before departing.

"Well then... I'll be right outside the door. Please feel free to let me know if you need anything."

The Zalak tribe's female warrior greeted him politely.

The doctor maintained her friendly smile, exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and then closed the hotel room door.

“Amiya, don’t you find it strange? Such a high-end hotel, yet you can’t see Kazimierz’s most famous tourist attraction.”

The doctor couldn't possibly be unaware that the old knight's attitude was like a clear indication that there were some issues with the Major and it was inconvenient to broadcast it, and that foreign guests like her shouldn't "overstep their bounds."

"It is indeed strange. The knight seemed to be saying that the current Great Knight Territory is not safe."

Amiya nodded, reaching the same conclusion as the Doctor.

Is Mr. Nautilus here as well?

Amiya suddenly realized something; with her privileges on Rhodes Island, she could indeed know that Lotin was going to Kazimierz to retrieve something.

"Could it be related to Mr. Nautilus?"

Amiya first suggested a generic answer that might need to be ruled out.

"However, the way these ladies and gentlemen of the business associations do can certainly displease him."

“Modern Kazimierz knights, especially those who are not part of the conquest knights, would probably be directly identified by him as traitors.”

The doctor was well aware of which type of people were most likely to be disliked by Nautilus. If Nautilus were to appear here, nothing would be surprising.

The lights suddenly went out a few minutes later, and the sound of orderly footsteps echoed in the streets, as a silver river converged on the roads of the Great Knight's Territory.

Their destination was the arena of the Special Championship.

Then, she saw a beam of death light shoot out from the direction of the arena.

Having watched the combat footage of the Royal Guard's defensive battle, the Doctor knew that this dangerous death ray was not the Originium Arts of the Radiant Knights, but rather the power unleashed by "Nautilus" using that Kuranta body.

"You are indeed here. As expected, you are still as unconventional as ever."

Chapter 85: How many divisions does the Business Federation have?

A stark white ceiling, a feeling of lightness, glaring lights, and intense pain all over my body.

Tora was dragged into the arena's emergency room. Lotin tacitly allowed the arena's medical staff to treat him, and he handed a bottle of life potion to the old knight who had come to the arena with Tora.

This retired veteran knight also carries a trace of Nightmare blood.

The bottle of life-saving potion was placed on the bedside table. Whether Tora would drink it or end his heavenly journey was entirely up to him.

"You brat, how dare you be so reckless as to provoke such a monster?"

The old knight with a long beard sighed helplessly by the sickbed.

"You have no relatives or friends, no one will even pay your medical bills!"

“Batbayar, I have failed. They didn’t even consider killing me.”

"Are you unwilling?"

The old knight named Batbayar broke out in a cold sweat.

“I still have shortcomings... I still have to complete the journey of heaven.”

"Giant Knight, I'm afraid Nightmare will never be able to conquer this peak again."

The nightmare is connected to the history of the entire ethnic group. While in a coma due to severe burns, Tora is once again inspired by his ancestors.

“I will travel to the far north... the north that echoes the place where my ancestors disappeared.”

Upon hearing this, the old knight closed his eyes in anguish.

In the end, his fate was still to seek death.

At this moment, the knights, their bodies gleaming with silver light, returned to the capital of Kazimierz from the front lines. No one knew why the Merchants' Union was willing to set aside its conflict with the Supervisory Council and, with an attitude of unprecedented friendliness, plead with them to send troops back to defend the capital. Otherwise, the Grand Knights would face the same fate as the Ursus Third Army.

A silver light passed through the darkness.

Citizens, forced to halt their revelry in the darkness, gazed curiously at this lavish spectacle.

The streetlights flickered on and off until the power was restored, and then the chaotic neon colors returned to the city that had just taken a short nap.

The silver-speared Pegasus looked out of place amidst the advertising lights, like a giant knight who had just entered the Great Knights' territory.

"Could that be the Originium Arts of the Nearl family?"

"Is it Lord Marna who is willing to make a comeback, or has that young Light returned to the Great Knight Territory?"

"The Silver-Speared Pegasus" refers to the elite Kazimir troops who truly crushed countless opponents on the battlefield.

The previous head of the Linguang family, Cyril Linguang, was a famous wielder of silver spear and celestial horse.

When his detachment was being hunted down by the enemy's artillery division and mobile forces, only seven knights participated in the rescue operation.

However, under Cyril's leadership, they eventually rescued more than 30 of their compatriots. After that, the knights who broke through the encirclement to the east annihilated more than 3000 enemies and wrote the legend known as "Dawn of the Golden Plain" in Kazimierz.

"No. That is not the light of the Nearl family."

“That light has no spiritual power to illuminate others or guide the way.”

"That was a terrifying death ray that heralded destruction."

The old knight waiting outside the arena for the arrival of Silver Spear Pegasus was the same one who had previously contacted Amiya and the Doctor.

Her true identity is Ioleta Russell, President of the Casimir Oversight Council and Grand Knight Commander of the Knights of Conquest.

The dazzling golden light that pierced the sky reminded her of an even more ancient and dangerous existence.

He once blocked the Khan's iron hooves like a mountain, and stopped the charge of the Tidehunter Knights and the warhorse Rosinant like a reef.

“'Nottiles, the Knight of Light'”.

In the history of Kazimierz, this "Knight of Light" is not a benevolent figure. Honor and reverence are his tributes, and what he does is help those who collect the tributes crush his enemies. The despicable traitors will be judged by him.

Some more radical theories suggest that Nautilus, the Knight of Light, is merely one aspect of a supernatural being, and that the Bronze Ghost may simply be another facet of the Knight of Light.

As the de facto military leader of Qazimir, Ioleta could not possibly be unaware of the news that the Bronze Ghost had defeated the Ursus Third Army. The Qazimir army possessed far more detailed information than the Business Federation.

"Grandmaster, you always say that Kazimierz should be handed over to the younger generation, but why are you talking about these far-fetched legends first?"

Even in the world of Nautilus, which modern Casimirians consider "utterly outdated," the Knight of Light is not considered a true historical figure.

Giant-like knights emerged from the collapsed walls of the arena, confronting the silver-lanced pegasus.

"Silver Spear Pegasus, do you also see me as a threat, just like those merchants?"

The Securities and Futures Commission stood in opposition to the Business Federation, but Loting knew that this did not mean that all of them were true knights of the past.

Before the merchants firmly grasped Kazimierz, it was these so-called "knights" hiding behind the tower of power who hanged the infected and exploited the common people.

"It depends on your purpose and whether you are a brass ghost."

Ioleta's attitude was much more sincere than that of the Business Federation. Moreover, these silver-lanced pegasus riders stationed on the front lines were among the few knights in modern Casimir who did not fail in their knightly duties.

"All."

Lotin didn't need to deliberately hide his default skin; he simply chose to focus on promoting one of Nautilus's faces in order to increase his chances of winning the lottery.

"The Business Federation not only betrayed history, but even attempted to exclude me with its henchmen."

“I have reappeared to awaken the forgotten memories of the Kazimierz people and to collect the tribute that belongs to me.”

Of course, there's also taxation.

After all, the tithe was collected by Lothing himself, not by a sea god like the Titans did, so Lothing was always very enthusiastic about collecting tithes.

"Are you angry about being forgotten?"

As she grew older, Aoleta began to have more patience for things that defied common sense. Faced with an existence capable of destroying a modern Terran nation-state, her approach was to first get to know and understand what already existed.

Some newly recruited Silver Spear Pegasus warriors were eager to make their move, but were stopped by their seniors.

The fact that the legend has been forgotten is at most something that annoys Loting, but not enough to make him kill.

The Commercial Federation's betrayal of history and the modern-day Qazimir knights' renege on their duties disgusted Lotin, who might take the opportunity to intimidate these muddle-headed modern-day Qazimirs.

Doing just these things would have been enough for Lotin to accumulate "honor points," but the Business Federation showed clear hostility towards him through the Unarmored Alliance, even implying that it wanted to "nip the threat in the bud."

“I am indeed angry, but not enough to warrant such direct action.”

Even the Securities and Futures Commission, which wields considerable power, was willing to speak with him first. How could the Business Federation, which only has an assassin organization under its command, dare to target him as a target to be eliminated?

This has nothing to do with whether he is a Brass Ghost or a Knight of Light. Xuan Tie's suspicion that he is a Brass Ghost has already revealed that the Commercial Federation's target is not the Knight of Light but the Deep Sea Titan.

Their reason for hostility was not that he was the legendary "Knight of Light," but rather that his various characteristics reminded them of the Bronze Ghost.

These merchants seized a great deal of power from the knights in a relatively short period of time, and Victoria's modern Terran Warfare completely shattered the deterrent effect left by the Protoss and other powerful individuals—at least that's how the Merchants' Guild saw it.

Therefore, they were so arrogant as to "tear off his disguise" and eliminate this potential threat.

“I have already broken their shortbows and daggers.”

Lotte has already crushed the Business Federation's last trump card, and the Securities and Futures Commission has not shown any hostility towards him.

“My tribute is neither gold nor land.”

"The honor that comes from defeating your opponents and being admired is the tax you should collect."

Ioleta supplemented the tithe details recorded in [Light Knight Nautilus], which further confirmed Lotin's belief that, like Tora, she knew the history of the Giant Knights.

"Then, I hope to reach a gentleman's agreement with you."

Ioleta proactively raised the demands of the Supervisory Council, which could both satisfy Lotin's goal of re-spreading the legend of the "Knight of Light" and achieve the Supervisory Council's original objective—Lotin forced the Commercial Federation to seek help from the Supervisory Council, and the Supervisory Council had already gained huge practical benefits from this alone.

They had no reason to be hostile to this ancient being that had reappeared in the world.

Chapter 86: Young people shouldn't be too impetuous

Ioleta Russell was not only revered as the master of the silver spear and winged horse, but also a seasoned politician and military strategist.

Loting would not easily believe someone simply because they seemed sincere.

"The silver spear and heavenly horse entering the city could not possibly be just for an unverifiable legend."

Now that the other party knows about the legend of the Giant Knight, Lotin has a lot of room to maneuver, and the situation is different from that in Iberia.

In Iberian horror stories, the deep-sea titan Nautilus is portrayed as a completely negative figure.

However, based on the tomb inscriptions, Tora's descriptions, and the Grand Knight's descriptions, Lotin can confirm that the image of [Nottylus, the Knight of Light] in the legends of Kazimierz is more neutral, or even closer to a positive image.

“Your Securities and Futures Commission, like the Federation of Industries, also want to get something out of me.”

"How about I make a suggestion?"

First, demonstrate your strength, then start to coax and fabricate stories. This is the routine that Lotin and Laurentina have summarized, and this method will only become more effective after his skin has a complete historical trace.

With less fabrication involved, the convincing parts naturally become more believable.

“I still choose to protect the land that once brought me glory and honor. Clearly, Kazimierz has embarked on a wrong and distorted path.”

"Although I can judge cowards who betray history and responsibility, just as I have in the past, I can only destroy, not create."

Luo Ting pointed to the inscription on the Silver Spear Pegasus, which was originally the family motto of the Lin Guang family: "Fear not the bitter darkness."

After that "Dawn of the Golden Plains," the ancestral precepts of the Linguang family were inscribed on the swords, armor, staffs, and shields of the forty-one Silver Spear Pegasus warriors.

"You came to thwart the Business Federation, you came for me, and you came for her."

“Margaret Nearl. You consider her an extremely precious new seedling in this increasingly crumbling land.”

Upon hearing Lotin's statement, Ioleta immediately became alert.
