At the city's edge, several winding overpasses led directly to the ground, guiding countless tourist vehicles to diverge upwards. After passing through the Grand Knight Territory customs and border inspection, they would enter this grand event.
"This place is much more prosperous than Kazdel, I can feel it, but... danger is closer, Shining, we cannot involve Mr. Goki and Nona Skadi."
Awakening much earlier than Skadi, Nightingale still held her lantern staff in the motorcycle's sidecar, her expression grim, unlike the excited tourists. She spoke in a low voice to Shining.
"I know, Liz, but what we can do is extremely limited... doing our best is enough."
Lowering her voice, Shining nodded and looked at Goki and Skadi nearby, who were constantly taking pictures of the mobile city with a phone, seemingly in a loving embrace.
In less than a day of contact, Shining confirmed that these two, who claimed to be from Columbia and affiliated with Rhine Lab, were indeed just ordinary tourists.
Of course, they were also excellent and powerful warriors.
Mr. Goki's methods were extraordinarily subtle; his combat techniques and use of Originium Arts were unlike anything Shining had ever seen.
And Nona Skadi was purely powerful; if Shining didn't use her Originium Arts, relying solely on swordsmanship, she probably wouldn't be able to block even one of her strikes. Even the Royal Champion Blademasters of the Sarkaz Royal Court would absolutely not be her match.
At the same time, Goki could deduce her former organization, the "Absolutionist," indicating that this man possessed extensive knowledge, at least a deep understanding of politics—it should be known that the term Absolutionist rarely appeared in the public eye.
The world held great prejudice against the Sarkaz; that kind of exclusion and discrimination, even when hidden beneath smiles, could not escape Shining's eyes.
However, Mr. Goki and Skadi showed no repulsion towards the two Sarkaz, instead actively offering help and naturally treating them as equals. This sincerity came from the heart, making Shining somewhat unaccustomed.
It was precisely because of this that Shining could not betray this kindness. The matters she and Nightingale were about to undertake were extremely dangerous and could not be overcome solely by individual valor.
The enemies they had to confront and stop were formidable foes beyond Mortal imagination; even mentioning them to Goki carried the possibility of him being affected by that power.
The disaster that occurred in Kazdel must never happen again in other countries.
"Mr. Goki, thank you for your help. After entering the city, I think we should still—"
"Wow—Goki, Nightingale, Shining, look quickly!"
But just as Shining was about to speak, Skadi suddenly pointed excitedly to a super-large television screen, over ten meters long, next to the Grand Knight City's highway entrance.
"Welcome to Kawaleria, travelers, Knights! Whether you're already seated in the venue or stuck on the road, it doesn't matter—now, we will broadcast the ongoing match, the most anticipated match before the main event."
On the screen, a Kuranta female host, whom Goki didn't recognize, was excitedly reporting to the audience while hyping up the atmosphere.
"Perhaps the intensity of the qualifiers is a bit less than the main event, but you absolutely cannot miss today's match."
With a slender arm, she waved behind her, and the broadcast camera shifted to a vast and fervent stadium. The cheers from inside the arena were like a mountain tsunami, and the venue, capable of holding 100,000 people, was incredibly noisy.
"I wonder if everyone has heard these legendary stories—the Kazimierz hero who single-handedly fought against Leithanien, the Knight of No Light who assassinated the treacherous attendant, and the right-hand woman who followed the Knight King to overthrow the rule of the Gods People. They all share the same name!"
Raising her hands, the Kuranta female host drew out her words in a somewhat affected voice.
"The oldest Knight Family—Nearl! The granddaughter of that Kazimierz national hero, the Knight with the most potential to contend for the Grand Knight position, has surprisingly participated in the Knight Tournament!"
The cheers in the venue grew even more enthusiastic, and some shirtless, painted fans even tried to rush into the camera, but were quickly pulled off-screen by several security personnel.
"Let us welcome with the warmest cheers this Knight who is participating in the Knight Tournament for the first time, and as an independent Knight, without any sponsorship or support—"
The camera shifted, and on one side of the competition venue, a tall and heroic figure slowly emerged from the preparation area.
"Margaret Nearl!"
Her golden hair, tied in a ponytail, reflected the dazzling sunlight, but her armor appeared slightly worn. This Kuranta Knight's beautiful face was exceptionally calm. Holding a longsword and shield, she slowly walked into the competition venue.
The surrounding cheers did not affect her in the slightest; her expression was as calm as water, yet her Aura was as steady as a mountain.
And the moment she stepped onto the field, the brightness of the entire venue seemed to increase by several points.
She was so radiant that even Shining was silent at this moment because of this Knight.
And Goki merely smiled at the familiar stranger on the screen and continued to drive the car.
"Let's go. We can watch the match anytime. Right now, what we need to do is find a place to stay."
Hunting is a hunter's duty, but Goki felt that witnessing a legend during this time was also not impossible.
