Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

Chapter 594 Candle Knight

Beichen didn't pay any attention to the two spokespersons, but when they saw Beichen, they nodded to him.

After a while, McGee left first, and then Markowitz was called away by a phone call.

Being a spokesperson is really busy, but it’s much better than being an ordinary employee.

But in fact, the reason McGee left was not because there was any work that needed him to handle.

He had someone he needed to see.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Droste.....What are you looking at?"

McGee gently pushed open the half-open door, his tone polite and sincere.

You know, it's rare for a spokesperson to speak with such sincerity.

"A collection of inferior poetry, Mr. McKee."

Droste...perhaps another name that might make people more familiar is "Candle Knight" Viviana.

She put down the poetry book in her hand and raised her hand to invite McGee to sit at the table opposite her.

There is no need to describe or elaborate on her appearance, and even less to say about her temperament.

Rather than a knight, I think it is more appropriate to describe her as a "saint".

"Ah... You have always liked these. I still remember the first time I saw you, in that arena filled with the smell of blood and rust, you were holding a book like this, as if you were out of place in the surroundings."

McGee looked at the book in Candle Knight's hand. Even the author's name had never changed. It seemed that he really liked the book.

"You seem to remember these details very clearly?"

Candle Knight asked with a smile.

"I am ashamed to say that I am also one of your fans. If you have time, please sign an autograph for me."

This is not just a compliment, McGee is indeed a loyal fan of Candle Knight.

He was already a loyal fan before he became a spokesperson and before Candle Knight received the title of knight.

There is no other unreasonable thought, just pure love and appreciation.

"my pleasure."

Before the two of them could talk further, the staff brought the wine that McKee ordered just in time.

"Excuse me, Mr. McGee, the wine you requested is right here."

"Thank you. Give my regards to the other staff members."

Soon, the glass was filled with fragrant red wine.

"Let us celebrate, Ms. Droste."

"With great pleasure."

Although I don’t know what we are celebrating, it’s right to celebrate anyway.

We talked about the poetry collection in Viviana's hand, the poetry of Casimir and Leitania, and then turned to the current cultural and entertainment consumption of the Casimir people. I can only say that we talked a lot.

Finally, after many twists and turns, we finally got back to business.

"You have something else to say to us, ma'am?"

McGee asked.

"Hmm...what is it?"

Candle Knight looked into McGee's eyes and suddenly spoke.

"Ah, your new glasses suit you very well, Mr. McKee."

"Haha.....I'm surprised that you can notice this kind of thing..."

This answer was beyond McGee's expectations.

"Well, but you shouldn't be talking about this. Let's first talk about the rumors that appeared on the intercity network and print media..."

McGee shifted his gaze to the bottle of wine on the table.

"Ah, a red wine bath?"

Candle Knight thought of this slightly funny news. At first she just laughed it off, but she didn't expect the rumor to become more and more intense.

"Does anyone really take a bath in red wine? Won't it stick to your body?"

"Huh? Maybe. I don't know. But more people will believe news that cannot be confirmed. Even if they know the truth may not be so, they are willing to get involved in these things."

As a spokesperson, doing this kind of thing can be said to be his job.

"Would it not help to clarify it afterwards?"

Candle Knight sighed and asked.

"Alas, Madam, you always think too simply about things other than knighthood. Although I have contacted the headquarters of Rose Newspapers and found out that this was done privately by the editor of a certain entertainment newspaper."

"It seems that it had already caused quite a stir when it was discovered, so it was not withdrawn immediately for various considerations."

I understand this. It was done by temporary workers and has nothing to do with the company. We have already fired the relevant personnel. If you want to hold them accountable, please target them personally.

"It's the way they work and I don't blame them."

How can this not be blamed? Why not just move the Leshan Giant Buddha down and let you sit on it?

If it were Sofia, she would have rushed to the newspaper office and slapped the parties involved in the face, and she did so.

"You are very tolerant, but this makes me feel even more wronged for you. You donated almost all of your private income to poor areas in Leitania, building schools and mobile platforms for your hometown."

"And why would those newspapers report such things?"

"It's only natural that gossip can make people feel fresh and exciting, but clarifying the facts is boring."

This attitude left McGee speechless, and it took a long time before he spoke.

"Alas, you can't just ignore this kind of thing. As the spokesperson for the Federation, it is my job to ensure that the knights are not disturbed by off-field factors."

Although he said this, McGee knew in his heart that his colleagues were the culprits who brought trouble to the Candle Knight.

He felt somewhat ashamed of this, especially in front of the Candle Knight.

"Oh, by the way, when will the schedule for the Duel Tournament be released?"

McGee sighed again at this question.

"Alas...why don't you even care about your own game? If nothing unexpected happens, your next opponent will be the Graybeard Knight, and after that will be... the Shining Knight."

When she heard the three words "Shining Knight", Candle Knight's eyelashes trembled, and a look of surprise flashed in her pupils, but she immediately regained her elegant posture.

"Are you surprised, ma'am?"

Although it was just a slight change in his eyes, McGee still caught it.

"Of course, the Knight of Glory, Margaret Lin Guang, I have heard this name many times. It is beautiful, powerful, and elegant."

When talking about the Knight of Glory, there was a hint of happiness in the Candle Knight's tone that was hardly noticeable.

It seems that this is also a loyal fan.

But, in addition to liking and appreciation, there may be some other kinds of emotions mixed in.

"The Federation wants you to win."

"But, what chance do I have of winning against 'Zhu' and 'Yao'?"
