Volume 12: Cafe Heroes Chapter 37 Epilogue The Eve of the Medal Award
If one had to give this meeting a label, Li Lin felt that the word awkward was the most appropriate.
An archbishop with a mohawk, surrounded by holy keyboards, holy guitars, and holy bass tunings, felt that something was wrong no matter how he looked at it. The man on the other side was also staring closely at the marks on Li Lin's body, as well as the insects crawling up and down transformed by his magic power, with a subtle expression on his face.
What was surprising to Li Lin was that the Archbishop of Holy Light he saw was actually a strange person whose magic power was even condensed into rock instruments.
Compared to Li Lin's subtlety, the other side was probably terrified. The insects crawling up and down and making constant noise had nothing to do with the holy light.
Although both of them wanted to show an expression of "You are also holy light", but out of courtesy, or the instinctive judgment that both sides felt that something might be wrong, Li Lin and the Archbishop maintained a superficial brotherly smile, and in the first few dozen minutes, they looked like guests and hosts were having a good time. You said that your strength is outstanding, and I said that my judgment is unique. Both sides have lines that support each other, which is not easy.
And with George there to smooth things over, the scene looked pretty good. The Archbishop readily went to a space that was folded into countless layers and took out some solids and books storing data and gave them to Li Lin.
While Li Lin was checking the data, the entertainment-loving archbishop said with a smile:
"Let's take a look at the situation on the scene now. Our vanguard officers have used their avatars to protect the idols. Now it's time to see what those people have accomplished."
Being able to connect to any venue at any time is their privilege. The Archbishop happily turned on the TV, while Li Lin was holding the data and constantly copying the data on it, so that the task progress bar was gradually filled. The two of them, or together with George who was serving tea and water, the three of them did not expect what they would see next.
Seeing the two figures on the TV screen moving persistently from one victory to another, Li Lin felt that his brain was about to solidify.
At the beginning, Li Lin believed that the White Knight was a trustworthy summoned creature, and Angel was a trustworthy person. Although they looked a little problematic, they had at least received formal education and had no mental problems.
The White Knight is the symbol of invincibility, the embodiment of not failing. No matter what he does, as long as it is related to winning or losing, he will never fail. This is the magic power that the White Knight carries, and it is also his own intention. And compared to the Red Knight who is the embodiment of pure killing, the White Knight is still somewhat intelligent. At least he knows what tactics and strategy are.
But watching the White Knight on the screen answering questions frantically and racing through brain teasers, almost the sum of the total scores of more than a dozen people, Li Lin really felt a deep shock and a long tremor, as if he was hit by a strong electric current. This shock was so strong and terrible that Li Lin looked at the White Knight on the screen, and his mental channel was open for a long time, but he didn't have time to say a word.
'My Lord, is there anything you can do for me?'
"……"
"Ah, I see. You want me to win, right?"
Faced with Li Lin's silence, the White Knight seemed to have received some orders. He turned around and faced everyone on the screen with a smile.
That face, which looked exactly had an arrogant and indifferent expression, like an emperor on earth. There was a mark of invincibility surrounding him, and the whole person looked sacred and noble.
"I am the incarnation of invincibility. No matter what means you use, I will not fail. My master has conveyed the order to me. He needs me to win and requires me to win this victory. I will definitely win, no matter what kind of victory it is, no matter what kind of victory it is."
Pale magic wrapped around his body, and the mark of victory was faintly visible on his white robe. The White Knight shook his robe and showed a confident smile to everyone.
"Come on, I won't refuse any challenge. I've already completed the other challenges, and there's only one left. Who else wants to come and guess what you want?!!"
“…”
A long silence doesn't mean you should continue, it means 'Oh my God, what are you doing', you know?
Li Lin took a deep breath and immediately cancelled the White Knight's power of appearance. The idiot who was explaining why he won in front of the TV turned into countless feathers of light and dissipated in that space in the next second. At the same time, Angel also received Li Lin's angry summons and returned to Li Lin across time and space in the blink of an eye.
"I'm sorry, I tried to stop it, but failed." Angel, who arrived at the scene, did not blame others or anything else, but said honestly: "Everything went smoothly when I was invisible at the beginning, but the host said, 'So everyone present has lost this event? Everyone present is a loser?' After saying this, the incarnation began to act on its own. This is my dereliction of duty as an eternal follower, I am really sorry."
"…No, it's nothing. The main problem is not you."
I'm afraid it would be my fault if I relied on the intelligence of the summoned creature.
Li Lin couldn't say anything about Angel's fearful look. He could only wave his hand generously and forget everything.
After watching the whole operation, the archbishop on the side touched his Mohawk, showing a somewhat relieved expression, then turned serious and nodded to Li Lin.
"... Well, I look forward to seeing you again at the swearing-in ceremony. By the way, give my regards to the history professor. He has been very kind to me over the past period of time."
"Well, I'll tell him."
As if nothing had happened, time resumed its flow. Li Lin and the Archbishop comforted each other for a few words, and then their figures gradually disappeared in the blue light of the transmission. The magic power tore open the space and pulled the location to the place that Li Lin was most familiar with.
A breeze blew up in the corridor of the university again. Under the rather dissatisfied eyes of the university professors, Li Lin walked out of the blue light with a strange look on his face, waved awkwardly to his colleagues, and became honest. Then with a melancholy expression on his face, he casually threw the report written by George into the upload module, took a deep breath, and walked quickly in a familiar direction.
