About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

Orson awkwardly adjusted his clothes, put on a serious expression, and pondered, completely unaware that the real reason lay in the difference in "feminine power."

Although I always meet all kinds of girls around me, these girls of different races, personalities and responsibilities have one thing in common, that is, their femininity is not very good. Even if there are a few "gentle and virtuous" girls, they are not the type to take the initiative.

Thanks to this environment, a character like Sister Shi Le, who has "strong femininity" or is good at flirting with men, would be at the level of being killed by anyone if she were placed next to Orson.

"I've been watching your matches lately, little knight. You really always surprise me. I wonder if you can still... hehe, just kidding."

Li's words made Orson blush, and he could only sigh that he was no match for his opponent at all, and the level was too far behind.

Although Sister Shi Le was a head shorter than him, Orsen knew very well that he would be played around by her at will.

Fortunately, Li didn't really come to attack Orson this time. She just flirted with him a few times as a joke, and then took Orson to today's destination - a house that looked quite old.

After entering the room, Li led Orson into the living room, where an older man sat on the other side of the solid wooden table.

"Finally we meet, the Infected Knight, is that Orson-kun?"

The owner of the gravel greeted Orson, and then his eyes once again fell on the ring on Orson's finger.

"Hello, I just received help from your knight, Miss Li. I am very grateful."

Orson nodded to the old man and sat down in the seat next to him after receiving the signal.

Although judging from the decoration of the surrounding environment, this house is not very magnificent, let alone the castle of the Sangster family, even Maria's house that is almost stripped bare cannot compare to it.

But Orson noticed that in the various details of the room, he could see many small decorations with a sense of age. It was obvious that the man in front of him was also the heir of an ancient knight family.

"Senomi... Hehe, she didn't cause you any trouble, did she?"

"Uh... no, no."

Orson felt a little embarrassed. He couldn't admit that "your knight only took me less than 10 seconds to jerk me off."

"That's good. Although Senomi usually gives people a distant feeling with a fake smile, her overly enthusiastic personality is also a problem for those who are interested... I hope you don't mind. Then it's time to talk about business--"

The old man sighed and looked at Orson.

"First of all, do you know anyone called 'Doctor'?"

82. Instead of kidnapping horses, you’re trying to kidnap groundhogs, right?

"PhD--?"

The familiar name coming out of the old knight's mouth made Orson a little dazed for a moment.

"Do you know many 'Doctors'? Orson, if so, I can provide you with information to narrow down the list."

"Although I don't know many people who can use this title... I hope you can provide some more information."

Orson's eyes became much more serious. He never thought that he would hear traces of the Doctor here.

"Glad to be of service—the doctor you know is a woman with no racial characteristics, long brown hair, and a cheerful personality?"

"--Yes, may I ask how you know this?"

It was no coincidence, the 'Doctor' mentioned by the old noble knight was the woman he knew well, who had lived with him for a period of time in the North and who had transformed himself into a 'Chimera' in some way.

"I once saw this ring on the hand of that doctor, and I was deeply impressed by the girl who had such wonderful ideas and was willing to put them into practice."

The old knight stroked his beard while reminiscing about the past.

"A fantastic idea...?"

Orson asked intently, knowing that this was his chance to get to know the Doctor again.

"Ah, when that girl first found me, Casimir was at war with Ursus. In fact, even I was curious about how she managed to cross the Ursus-Casimir front."

—War…? When I was shopping with Natalia (Zaolu) and Sonya (Winter) before, I remember Natalia saying that the last Uka War must have been at least ten or twenty years ago, right?

Orson frowned. Just the old knight's words raised a lot of doubts, the most important of which was 'how long did the doctor wander before arriving in the North'.

"Of course, what surprised me about that girl was not only her arrival, but also the 'request' she made. She said she could stop the war between Casimir and Ursus, while minimizing casualties."

The old knight took out a dusty but well-preserved notebook from a desk, wiped the dust off gently and handed it to Orson.

The notebook contained elegant notes on how to persuade the National Council to stop the knights from continuing to deploy troops.

"These plans..."

"It sounds crazy, doesn't it? But at the time, I was almost constantly on the front lines for Casimir. I didn't want to bear witness to the deaths of my comrades anymore. Or maybe I was just crazy, so I agreed to her seemingly outrageous plan."

The old knight said this with a smile, and contrary to his complaints, he seemed very proud of having joined the doctor's armistice plan.

"..."

Orson silently flipped through the doctor's notes. The plan on it united the old knight of the "Pavel" family in front of him and Lin Guang's grandfather, who was known as the "Silver Spear Pegasus".

Not only that, the plan in the notes also included proposals for the internal structure of Casimir after the armistice, and even suggested providing the knights with manpower sources other than the ancient knight families through "selection competitions."

"Is this suggestion..."

"Have you noticed? 'Doctor's' suggestion gave rise to the initial prototype of the [Knightly Tournament], and at the time, this method did, to a certain extent, resolve the internal problems of the War Knights. However, in its later development, with the interference of the Merchant Union and the divergence of interests between the Supervisory Council and the Knights Association, the [Knightly Tournament] gradually became what you see today."

The old knight of the Pavel family no longer smiled, and his tone was mixed with a hint of mild anger.

"Let me be frank, Orson. I've had Senomi observe you for a while, and I also have some information about the pony from my old friend Lin Guang's family."

The old knight took the notes from Orson's hand and stared at him.

"Do you wish to stop Casimir's current 'other war', or do you intend to use the current chaos to gain some benefits?"

The old knight asked, and Li, who was standing beside her, also put away his smiling expression. Orson could clearly feel that the two people in front of him exuded an aura of readiness to fight.

"I... don't have the brains and plans to stop the war like the Doctor, and I don't think I can change all of Casimir's current ailments."

"But we will still resist Casimir today. This has nothing to do with 'interests' or even 'positions'. It's simply because - I cannot turn a blind eye to the injustice I see."

Orson spoke his inner thoughts without any embellishment. He knew very well that the old knight was questioning him. Was the existence of 'Orson' a targeted drug that might cause changes in Casimir today, or was it another type of cancer cell with a different nature?

"……Ha ha ha ha!"

After a brief silence, the old knight suddenly laughed.

"Come to think of it, that girl said something similar back then. Something like, 'Although your war has nothing to do with me, I feel I have the ability to help you avoid fewer deaths, so choosing not to do anything would be another crime.'" Haha, it was completely illogical, but the light in those words was impossible to ignore.

"It certainly sounds like something the doctor would say—probably."

Orson's expression was a little conflicted. After all, in his memory, the doctor once told him that he didn't want to embark on the same path as her.

But from what Rosemary and the old knight said, we can know that the "Doctor" has been traveling around the Terra continent a long time ago, helping others everywhere.

Perhaps, the time spent with Kal'tsit at the Tower of Babel changed the Doctor a little.

"You and her really look alike. Come to think of it, that doctor seemed to have mentioned that she particularly liked little shotas?"

- Don't show off your XP like a luxury watch, Doctor!

"Anyway, after meeting you, Orson, my doubts have been dispelled. In the past, Casimir was plagued by war with Ursus, and the appearance of the 'Doctor' temporarily resolved the conflict. But as time passed, Casimir once again fell into trouble, but this time the dilemma was caused by the constraints of various forces within Casimir. I want to change the status quo, but I must have a [Breakthrough] - that is you, Orson."

"So, you mean to say you're willing to help us fight the Commerce Union?"

Orson's expression became very happy. Being able to get the support of the ancient knight nobles who were on par with the 'Silver Spear Pegasus' would be of great help in the future situation.

"Hahaha! I can't help you! I'm currently awaiting trial! Look, I'm sentenced to 114514 years in prison!"

"Then why did you talk to me so much?!"

Orson looked at the National Court judgment in the old knight's hand and experienced the same kind of stroke that Miss Black Snake had before she blew herself up.

"Don't worry, young man. I once threw Casimir's rules aside to prevent the war with Ursus. Now that I think about it, that girl who calls herself a doctor really has some strange magical power that attracted me to help her so firmly—all that doesn't matter anymore. Although I no longer have the rights of a noble, there are some things that cannot be taken away by a judgment."

"I will completely prevent those old bastards in the Senate from participating in this war regarding the Commercial Federation Knight Competition. However, the Supervisory Commission will still send out knights from the families whose interests you have affected. It will be up to you to resolve these issues."

The old knight spoke calmly, words that ordinary people might not even dare to believe.

"I understand, but there's still one problem. As outsiders in Casimir, we can't directly touch the foundations of this city. We must go through official channels to personally prove that this path is wrong."

Orson raised the issue he was currently struggling with - his own camp, including the Rhodes Island Integration Movement, did not have a spokesperson who could gain a foothold in Casimir.

"The Grand Knight Commander will intervene once public opinion reaches a certain level. He has always wanted to correct the current Casimir. All you need to do is, amidst the attacks of the Knights, reveal Casimir's buried darkness in some way, allowing the Grand Knight Commander to personally address the mistakes of the past few decades."

Unlike his unreliable appearance, the old knight's logic was extremely clear. He easily told Orson and his group what they should do next.

"Thank you very much for your help. I can't promise how far I can go, but I trust my companions. The corruption that is now in Casimir can definitely be eradicated."

Orson stood up and gave the old knight a very orthodox Knight Casimir salute.

"Heh...it's been ages since I've seen a knight perform such a salute. It seems your arrival in Casimir is truly destiny, little knight."

The old knight also stood up and returned the greeting to Orson. However, at this point, Orson could not say that all these knightly etiquettes he had learned from Miss Black Snake before coming to Casimir were learned at the last minute.

"By the way, I've prepared a gift for you. Believe me, you'll like it."

"Gift?"

Orson ruffled his hair, while the old knight gave him an "I get you" smile.

————Reunion Movement & Rhodes Island Temporary Safe House————

"..."

"..."

"..."

Many people gathered in the not-so-small room, including the leader of the Reunion Movement, the top leader Fawn, the leader of Rhodes Island, the Cat-eared Knight, the two golden ponies of the Linguang family, the Knight Killer, and so on.

These people spontaneously formed a circle, and in the center of the circle——

"Everyone, please give me your guidance. Please call me Li. I am a fourth-level knight sent by Master Pavel to assist you. My hobby is to rub the little knight, and my goal is to get him into bed. Please get along well with each other in the next few days~"

The pink-haired little knight girl of Zalach introduced herself with an energetic smile.

"Everyone... I can explain..."

Orson, who was held in Senomi's arms, spoke weakly, and thought for a while about how to start the first sentence of his will.

March bounty begins

Although the cat guest has closed the comments due to some issues, the update will continue

So, the regular bounty has begun this month!

The rules are the same as before, 100 blades/10000 rewards plus one more chapter

Because it is no longer a new book, I will not consider the monthly ticket.

If there is a treasure chest, I will directly update 20! (Remember not to celebrate too much, the author will lose money) Although I don’t think there will be one

Anyway, please give me your guidance in March.

83. Miss Black Snake... My Free Master (5K5 chapters)

"We don't need to confront Casimir head-on. That stance is too radical and dangerous, and might even lead to the official designation of them as a terrorist organization. Therefore, all we need to do is to use some means to inform the public of the information within the Chamber of Commerce and the Council of Supervisors/Knights' Association. The rest will be handled by public opinion and the Grand Knight Commander... Um, Miss Li, could you please leave me alone for a moment?"

In the temporary safe house, Orson was stating the intelligence he had obtained during this period and announcing what he would do in the next stage.

However, judging by the reactions of the others around them, the leaders didn't seem to care about Orson's plan. Instead, they were all staring at the pink-haired female knight Zarak, who was clinging to Orson's arms and had just been led over by Orson. (PS: Gravel is a head shorter than Orson.)

Although Tallulah and Kal'tsit often clashed in various meetings, and although the knight/knight killer duo of Platinum and Maria didn't get along well in many ways, everyone present at this moment was in a rare moment of unity:

——We have to throw this pink-haired guy out of the room!

In the whole room, except for Platinum, who is a "pseudo-carnivore who breaks at the slightest touch", everyone else has to look away even when kissing.

If a purebred carnivore were to sneak in under such circumstances, the already precarious balance would naturally be shattered in an instant.

"Does it bother you, little Knight-kun, that I'm clinging to you like this? Hehe, that's such a cute gesture~"

——Strip her naked and throw her in the trash can!

—Pull her ears off!!

—Pull her fingernails off!!!

Li reached out a finger and gently tapped the tip of Orsen's nose, whispering in a lazy and subtle voice. The girls around them, whose combined femininity was less than a ton, instantly exploded. Their collective thoughts shifted from "how to get rid of this uninvited guest" to "how to secretly sink this thing in Tokyo Bay."

"Oh my, I don't seem very popular, little knight. Could you help me ease this awkward situation?"

After all, the king entered the fish pond and killed people indiscriminately, and Li could probably tell the composition of the people in the room with just a glance.

Basically, everyone gathered here because they had a good impression of Orson.
