Chapter 168: 168、【Plot Self-Determination】Function_1
Translator: 549690339
In the 16th phase of the main storyline, Su Yu follows Tina to the camp of the Unicorn Knights.
The knight’s camp is located 5 kilometers north of Orleans City.
The Unicorn Corps has a history of nearly a hundred years. After a hundred years of development, a large town has developed on the south side of the camp — Unicorn Town.
Su Yu has been to Unicorn Town a few times; the streets of the town are bustling with cars and horses, the buildings are dense, and its prosperity is not inferior to Orleans City, just on a smaller scale.
At the entrance of Unicorn Town, Grace, the commander of the corps, stands solemnly on a somewhat old unicorn, ready to welcome Tina’s arrival.
Eight female officers follow her. These eight female officers are all senior members of the Unicorn Knights, ranging in age from 20 to 40.
The expressions of the eight female officers vary.
Some are stunned, some are puzzled, some are indifferent, some are envious
Despite their different reactions, they all face the direction where Tina is coming from with serious expressions.
Soon, Tina, dressed in shiny golden armor and riding a unicorn, appears at the end of the road.
Following her is Su Yu, riding Dima.
However, compared to the imposing Tina, Su Yu seems somewhat insignificant.
Upon seeing Tina, Grace, the commander, was immediately energized and began to guide her unicorn to meet Tina.
The other seniors hurriedly followed.
Midway along the road, Tina and the senior officers of the Unicorn Corps formally met.
“Tina, you’re finally here!” Grace greeted Tina, with a warm smile on her face.
“Madam Grace, and other senior officers, I’m honored to meet you!” Tina quickly greeted the senior officers.
She had met Commande Grace many times, but she was meeting most of the other senior officers for the first time. Even though she was about to succeed as the commander, she still had to observe the necessary etiquette.
“Don’t stand on ceremony, just call us by our names from now on!”
Grace warmly patted Tina’s shoulder and introduced the senior officers behind her.
“This is Fiona Windsor, deputy commander of the Knights, and the one I originally designated as my successor.”
Fiona Windsor was a mature woman in light silver armor with short red hair.
Fiona didn’t speak, she just respectfully bowed to Tina.
As Grace’s once-designated successor, it was impossible for her to not have any opinion on Tina’s surprise appointment as commander.
But Tina’s appointment was the will of the Guardian God, and she could only suppress all reluctance and accept reality.
Grace continued to introduce to Tina:
“This is Camilla, also a deputy commander of the Knights, responsible for logistics ”
Over the next period of time, Grace introduced all the senior officials present one by one.
Tina shook hands with each of them, thus getting to know them.
After the introductions, the senior officers of the Knights gathered around Tina, enthusiastically asking:
“Tina, what is your relationship with the Guardian God?”
“Are you his student?”
“Tina, you became a fourth-tier powerhouse at the age of 16, so young and promising!”
After all, Tina was appointed by the Guardian God, and the senior officers of the corps wanted to build a relationship through Tina, or at least not to elicit any displeasure from her.
Even Fiona, who was unwilling in her heart, dared not show any dissatisfaction on her face.
When Tina had chatted with the senior officers enough, Commander Grace clapped her hands:
“Alright, let’s continue our discussion back at the camp. Tina, the succession ceremony will officially begin at three in the afternoon. I will formally hand over the command of the Unicorn Corps to you then, prepare yourself well.”
“Understood, General.” Tina answered solemnly.
Until three in the afternoon, General Grace and all the senior officers accompanied Tina, introducing her to the basic conditions of the Knight Corps.
For instance, how many people are in the Knight Corps, how many infrastructures there are within the Corps, the financial situation of the Knight Corps, the personnel structure and so on.
Su Yu followed the group silently at the back, without interrupting, just walking quietly.
At three in the afternoon, a grand succession ceremony was held in the square at the entrance of the camp.
On the viewing platform, under the gaze of more than two thousand unicorn knights, Grace took off the emerald ring symbolizing the command of the Corps from his index finger and put it on Tina’s right index finger.
“I hereby declare that Tina Garcia officially becomes the 15th Commander of the Unicorn Corps! Tina, I hope that in the days to come, you can lead the Corps to glory and magnificence!”
“I will do my best!” Tina clenched her small fists.
The area below the viewing platform burst into cheers and applause.
Unicorn Knights cheered, congratulating the new Commander on her ascension.
But many knights betrayed their deep concern in their eyes due to Tina’s youth, lack of experience, and weak strength.
But within the context of celebration, no one expressed this.
Apart from the Unicorn Corps, senior officials from Orleans City and the city mayor, Claude Strathrow, also attended the event.
Claude Strathrow went on stage personally and pinned the Unicorn Cross Medal onto Tina, praising loudly:
“Tina Garcia, at the young age of 16 you have become the commander of the Unicorn Corps. You are the pride of the Empire, and on behalf of the people of Orleans City, I am proud of you!”
“Thank you, Mayor.” Tina saluted respectfully.
But deep inside, for some unknown reason, Tina became increasingly uneasy.
The succession ceremony continued until nightfall.
At midnight, Su Yu was suddenly summoned by Tina and went to her room.
Even though it was already midnight, Tina was still neatly dressed, staring blankly at the moonlight outside the window.
Seeing Su Yu entering, Tina forced a smile, “So you’re here! Nemesis.”
“Yes, I’m here.” Su Yu sat on the small sofa in Tina’s room. The sofa still held a remnant of Tina’s scent, indicating she must have been lying on it quite recently.
“What did you want to discuss?”
“It’s like this.” Tina sighed and explained, “I always feel that my life has been flowing a bit too smoothly.”
“Smoothly? Is smooth not good?” Su Yu shrugged.
“It’s not that it’s not good, but because it’s too smooth, it makes me feel extraordinarily uncomfortable.” Tina sighed again and continued to gaze at the moonlight outside the window:
“Ever since I started practicing, I became a fourth-order powerhouse in just over a month, got the favour of the Guardian God, and became the commander of the Unicorn Corps.
All this happened too quickly and too easily, making me feel unreal. This feeling makes me especially uneasy. This unease has been bothering me for the past few days, I haven’t been able to sleep every night. Nemesis, what should I do?”
Meanwhile, Su Yu received a system prompt:
“Ding, your main storyline [Saint of Orleans City (16/100)] has been updated.”
“Ding, detected that [Tina Garcia]’s favorability towards you is at [Enthusiasm stage], do you want to activate the [Autonomous Plot Determination] function?”
“Once activated, you can autonomously determine the plot direction for the event 16-25 of the main storyline [Saint of Orleans City] and acquire rewards based on the difficulty of the storyline’s direction.”
