Chapter 280: I Will Not Get a Card

Delandus saw that Karoso did not want to discuss other backgrounds and did not think much of it; having a few secrets is normal.

In fact, even if Karoso spoke up, no one would believe him; gods cannot detect bullet comments, let alone these people now.

"Since there’s nothing else, I will take my leave," Karoso said as he stood up.

"Okay, if you need anything, you can contact me."

Delandus said that many Nature Mages are now looking for him to rush the cards, and he also wants to finish matters with Neymar quickly; otherwise, the formula will never reach him.

Fortunately, most Nature Mages are reasonable and understand that such matters cannot be rushed.

『』 is currently stuck beside Delandus, helping to create cards every day, using whatever materials she can find. Delandus has some spare supplies that are enough for him to work with.

It is clear that Karoso’s dream of being taught by two eighth-tier teachers has fallen apart; this was entirely due to his own actions.

……

After saying goodbye to Delandus, Karoso arrived at the site of the Knight Tournament.

Since Laria is a tourist city, every Knight Tournament is held here.

Due to mechanical restrictions, many people are unwilling to enter the Pande Empire, which allows Laria to comfortably handle the increase in population due to the Knight Tournament.

The Knight Tournament is held every three years, with an age limit of fifteen to thirty-five years old. By a series of coincidences, Karoso happens to meet the requirements.

While waiting in line to sign up, Karoso couldn’t help but think, what a pity this is the Knight Tournament. We can’t use warrior cards; otherwise, with Teresa’s personality, she would definitely join the fun. Her strength would surely make her a strong opponent.

Even at the same level, Karoso might not be able to beat Teresa.

[Master Karoso, I found the target. It’s that woman!]

[Aileen has come out.]

[Wow, she looks really impressive in real life.]

[Unfortunately, she has some problems.]

[She doesn’t have problems; she is just stubborn.]

[One of the main characters in this event.]

[Aileen is not that strong.]

[Aileen is not strong in the game; the story’s challenges are very high.]

[Like in LOL, the Dragon King has such a high rank; only those who use him know.]

[She is not as good as Teresa and can’t face Master Karoso directly.]

[We don’t have anyone like Teresa who can 1v1 Master Karoso in the later game.]

[Teresa fights against Master Karoso after he has already battled with a skilled player, so he is quite worn out by then.]

[Teresa has a unique strength in our group, then come the older woman, Neymar, Memet, Celica, Aileen, and who else? Story fans, please explain.]

[For now, we can’t meet anyone else.]

[Teresa can’t really be called unique; she is just above the game’s average strength. In the story, she is similar to the older woman and the others. It’s just that her fighting style is more aggressive, which makes her seem unique.]

[At this time, Aileen has not grown up yet, right?]

[This scene is from Aileen’s memoir, connected to a part of the Death Knight’s story. During this time, there is also a scene from The Tragedy of the Dark Elves.]

[Did the dark elf and High Elf appear at the underground auction house?]

[Yes, then the search for Minaret began.]

[Wait, Minaret is already here.]

[The story team and the strategy team are at work; let’s create some rules!]

[Uh… we made them a long time ago. Didn’t you see Master Karoso looking so sure? There are quite a few new people.]

Karoso’s gaze followed the bullet comment’s guidance and quickly spotted someone.

That person had a head of fiery red hair, fair skin, and bright, spirited red eyes.

She stood with one hand on her hip, wearing a full set of white knight armor, carrying a longsword, and looked very heroic.

This is Princess Aileen Ishtar of the Pande Empire. She is twenty years old and calls herself a knight. Her profession is also a knight, and she is currently running away from home.

This person has a strong sense of justice and is a bit stubborn.

All of this information comes from bullet comments, and Karoso even knows her height and weight.

[By the way, have you noticed that the characters with high story intensity are either princesses, sons of grand dukes, or high-ranking members of the church? The others are mostly long-lived elves.]

[Of course, with this system, even Marx would suggest to gather some capital. Without a powerful family, who can grow up successfully? Just finding a famous teacher is not enough; money alone won’t do. You also need status, and the costs are not small. Their cards are not like the ones we get in the game.]

[Hmm… that makes sense. Most of our clear blue skies and white clouds come from ordinary adventurers.]

Karoso walked straight up to Aileen.

Aileen looked Karoso up and down and found the child quite cute.

Why is this child looking at me like that?

Soon, Aileen figured out the reason and said, "I won’t sign up."

Then she mumbled, "What’s going on now? Are they even using children…?"

Karoso wasn’t wearing noble clothes; he was dressed in light knight armor, with a knight badge hanging on his chest.

Aileen thought Karoso was sent by some knight training academy to hand out flyers, because he looked too young to be a contestant.

As for the knight badge? Who knows if it’s real or fake.

This is Laria, the largest trading port in the Kingdom of Knights, where knight badge souvenirs cost a hundred Forged Coins each. There are plenty to go around… Even the little kids over there with lollipops have one hanging on their chests.

"I can feel that you are a strong rival," Karoso said with a smile and reached out his hand. "Can we get to know each other early?"

Aileen’s eyes lit up; she hated when others praised her status and beauty, but she loved it when they praised her skills.

"Sure!" Aileen grabbed Karoso’s hand and shook it up and down. "But, little brother, no matter how much you compliment me, I still won’t sign up or buy any classes. I’m here to compete and suggest you find some other kids."

"We are the same height…" Karoso looked very upset, "I am fifteen years old."

His growth is a bit slow. As the netizens say, he only started to grow a lot in the past two years and it will take more than a year to reach the level of a dream card.

Growth is a strange thing, especially for boys. One moment, they might be just one meter fifty after finishing elementary school, but by the second year of middle school, they could be one meter eighty.

Karoso is now one meter sixty-two, which is definitely not short, but his face still looks young.

"Fifteen years old, very good, very good, you are amazing." Aileen covered her mouth and laughed.

Karoso finds it easy to start a conversation. If Saaya were here, he would be on guard as soon as someone got close, but Karoso, being a kid, doesn’t seem like he is trying to flirt.

"Phew, forget it." Karoso shook his head, "I am a contestant, just like you, and I am very strong!"

"If you underestimate me, when we face off, I will personally throw you off the stage!"
