The ancient dragon of Arknights

Although Rita is not as depressed as Chen, she seems to have been in a low mood since we met today.This is rare. What kind of trouble can make the extremely strong Miss White Wolf feel sad?

"Yesterday, I planned to go shopping with my roommate to buy clothes. But she refused... She has her own things to be busy with, which is understandable. But - she has been like this since several days ago and has been avoiding it. I'm busy with something by myself."

"So you are dissatisfied with her hiding it?"

Neltharion silently made a move in his mind: Rita must really like the trick of playing hard to get.

"That's not it...it's just that I hope she can discuss it with me and see if there's anything I can do to help."

"Well... wouldn't it be nice if you just asked her? According to your character, you definitely didn't take the initiative to ask."

Neltharion guessed right. Rita did not take the initiative to mention wanting to help the other party because she felt it was too much.

"But isn't it a bad idea to meddle in other people's affairs..."

The education Rita received since she was a child told her that she should take the initiative to lend a helping hand when facing victims; but on weekdays, if the other party actively avoids her, then she should not interfere.

"Wouldn't it be better to follow your own inner thoughts?"

Neltharion lives according to his inner thoughts, so he doesn't quite understand Rita's forward-looking thinking.

"I will think about it."

......

What has Miss Losili, the subject in question, done recently?

She did many things, such as investigating Neltharion's past, Neltharion's whereabouts in Londinium, and what he did during his three-day vacation.

As Rita's roommate, Losili could naturally get news about Nessario from her.She was in the dark; the enemy was in the open, so the investigation process was surprisingly smooth.

"The man behind the Glasgow gang, the bully behind the robbing Dogtooth gang... and the murderer."

Is murder a felony in Terra?

It depends on the occasion.

Just like the official slang of the Yan Kingdom said: Some things cannot be weighed by four ounces, and they cannot be stopped even if they are weighed by a thousand kilograms.

Among the dignitaries of Terra's countries, and even those with a little bit of strength, who doesn't have a life or two on their hands?

But those who were killed were either wilderness thugs or extremely vicious criminals, and they were still carried out in places beyond the reach of the law.

The guy Nessario killed was the godfather of the Houndstooth Gang. This guy was definitely not a good person - but he should be tried by the Londinium City Police.

Neltharion killed him directly... Was this driven by a sense of justice, or was it to cover up something?

"What a complicated guy..."

Losili was born into a down-and-out aristocratic family. Their family was a remnant of the Gallic era and had a very embarrassing position in today's Victoria.

Having grown up in this kind of environment, Rosili has developed a strong ability to observe words and emotions. The aristocratic salons and tea parties are the battlefields where she is best at.

Fischer's style of spying on intelligence is to come forward in person and use various disguises, forgeries, and spies to obtain intelligence.

Losili has a different style. She never comes forward on her own and only adds fuel to the fire at the dinner table to achieve her own goals.

But at the moment, Neltharion's problem obviously cannot be brought up to the chat of nobles.

Rosili must take action herself...

Losili is different from other students. The gate hours that Nesario needs to pay attention to are meaningless here, because she has long been a member of the Victoria military.

Perhaps this is a top student, Fischer has become a highly trusted detective in the city police; and Losili has already taken a job in the military.

After class, Losili went to the Sadien District. She needed to check where all the things that the Glasgow Gang had dumped had gone.

There might be a big secret behind this, and Losili always trusted her intuition.This time, it's no exception.

Chapter 63 The Master of Scales

"Miss, it's getting very late. It's time for you to rest."

It was already early in the morning, but there was still one room in the Duke of Cumberland's Mansion that had not turned off the lights, and that was the bedroom of the contemporary Duke of Cumberland, Aledee Cumberland.

A film woman gently opened the door and saw Aledee, who was busy writing at her desk, and distressedly advised her to rest early.

"Elsie? It's okay, it's still early."

"It's late, miss, it's already early morning. You need to take care of yourself. You are the hope of the Cumberland family."

"I wish...that day would come sooner."

What is Alladay writing?

It's all her deductions about the current situation.

Yesterday, which was my birthday, a petty thief broke into the Cumberland house. This was nothing short of a great shame for a dukedom.

But Aledee is more concerned about who is behind her. Although the Cumberland family is in decline, they still maintain the position of duke. Those who want to attack her in the dark must also think clearly.

This was originally a good opportunity to make trouble.

But after the thief's disguise is exposed, the opportunity turns into trouble.

"I didn't expect that Draco still had some blood left behind."

"Does this have any impact?"

Elsie is just a servant who has served the Cumberland family all her life. Like Cumberland, her heart is filled with her masters.

"Of course it has an impact. Although Drake has disappeared for a long time, he still retains the right to inherit the throne. The last king was Aslan, and the new king can be a Drake. If he is found by other dukes... .”

Cumberland is completely lost, and the new King Drak will smooth everything before Aslan's king returns.

"But didn't you say that he was instructed by Aslan?"

"This sentence is probably not true. He also knows very well where his trouble is. That's why he threw such a smoke bomb to confuse me."

The old king fell so quickly that the new Duke of Cumberland, Alledee's father, was completely unprepared.

A lot of information and secrets have been broken, and Aledee only knows one thing: Aslan's crown prince successfully escaped.He managed to survive under the secret escort of the palace guards, but where did he go?

Aledee doesn't know either.

There is no way, the Cumberland family has constraints in Londinium, and the intelligence system can be said to be completely paralyzed.

The other powerful dukes knew the location of Vina, but they naturally would not tell the Cumberland family the news.

It's ridiculous that two people whose fates are closely intertwined live in the same city but never know each other's names.

"Are you going to find him?"

Elsie didn't know the dangers of these political struggles, she just hoped that her young lady could have a good rest.

"Yes, at least, I have to know what he wants to do."

"Miss, can I help?"

"No, Elsie, you just need to stay in the mansion peacefully. Londinium... is very dangerous."

Alladay had to admit that she didn't have the confidence to protect those around her outside of Cumberland.This is the situation in Cumberland.

"I'll take care of everything myself. You don't have to worry about me."

How is Alledee going to find a small Drak in the huge Londinium?

"Elsie, bring me a piece of paper. I need to invite a helper over."

"Okay, miss."

The Cumberland family was disliked in every way, and the duke never enjoyed the power he should have. The instructions he issued were ultimately ignored, and even when he purchased things from merchants, he was maliciously harvested.

But she is not completely alone. Alede knows very well that the nobles are no longer her friends, so she has supported many civilians. Now, they will all become Cumberland's help.

"A 'Waifan' with conspicuous features should be easy to find."

......

"Have the results of Scholar Meow's research come out?"

"It stayed up all night and finally determined who the owner of the scales was, meow."

The voice of the follower Meow came from the communicator, and it seemed that they had completely adapted to the convenience of scientific props.

In the Elu cats' previous world, the technology tree seemed as strange as Terra's. They had weapons that could penetrate mountains, but no simple electronic equipment.

Elu Cat was shocked for a long time when Neltharion showed how to use the communicator for the first time, and Artisan Cat even set the goal of "cracking the communication box".

"So, what kind of monster is it?"

"The king of the sky, a flying dragon, a fire dragon. Judging from the color, shape, and size, he is a male fire dragon in his prime."

"...Is it very powerful?"

Neltharion was already frightened when he heard the name "King of the Sky". He didn't seem to be someone he could defeat.

"Much weaker than Dragon Slayer."

"That's all right."

"...Neltharion, this is reality. There are no second chances."

Follow Meow's serious voice. Arrogance is the most dangerous shortcoming of a hunter, especially when facing an unknown enemy.

"Just because it's reality - I won't go hunting with a sword stupidly. All kinds of Originium explosives and weapons are enough for it to drink a pot."

"You don't have the spirit of hunting, meow!"

"A hunter must be proficient in a variety of methods, even using traps. This is what you taught me."

The argument between one person and one cat was, of course, just a joke; in fact, Meow, the follower, knew better than anyone that hunting requires flexibility and not just relying on weapons. After all, there were many monsters that cannot be dealt with by weapons.

"So, Neltharion. Do you know where this scale comes from?"

"...Can't the guide insect track it?"

"..."

The deafening silence probably refers to this situation, and Neltharion also knows how unrealistic his delusion is.

"Well, a city is really giving them a hard time."

"Maybe a whole continent, meow."

"I will think of a way. You can rest assured and study it. By the way, let Artisan Meow think of a way to hide my tail so that I can avoid the limelight when I go out in the future."

"I'll tell you, nya."

After hanging up the phone, Neltharion turned his attention to his body. His sharp claws popped out in an instant, and his blade-like tail came close to his body.

'I haven't flicked my tail all day today, it's so uncomfortable. '

The bellicose dragon-slaying and the joy of giant slalom. When these two needs could not be satisfied, Neltharion seemed to have a withdrawal reaction.

“Bloody politics, damn aristocracy.”

Nesario used to have the most glorious campus life, but now it is all ruled by the shadow of the oppression of the nobles.

Chapter 64 The Origin of the Glasgow Gang

"The Glasgow Gang has taken all the territory of the Dogtooth Gang into their own hands, plus my previous investment...why are your conditions still like this?"

Nesario doesn't understand business and operations, but he knows the most basic truth, that is, money earned must be spent.

What was the money spent on?The equipment of the gang stronghold has not been upgraded, and the dressing of the Glasgow gang members has not changed. The only thing that can be said is that the food has become a little better.But compared to what Nessario ate at the Royal Guards School, there was no comparison at all.

"We used part of the proceeds for compensation. Didn't the Hound Tooth Gang destroy a lot before? Those residents also have to live, and all they have may be that small street vendor."

Morgan waved her hands. Judging from her slightly regretful look, she probably didn't come up with this idea.

You don’t need to guess to know that such a kind and loving idea must be Vina’s idea.

This Aslan girl is not like a lion at all. You must know that all resources in the lion group are given priority to the leader.Although Wei Na is female, she is definitely not a hard-working lioness.

"..."

Neltharion also felt sorry for this. Compared to Vina, this guy was much more of a bastard.In his opinion, the compensation only needs to be enough to support survival for a period of time, which is the so-called disaster relief fund. After all, without the Glasgow Gang, these guys would have returned to the exploitation of the Hounds Tooth Gang again.

The Dogtooth Gang used to collect protection fees in this neighborhood once a week, and their daily consumption was mainly "on credit."There was no hope for those days. The Glasgow Gang even helped the street vendors during the day, and the entire neighborhood was thriving with the help of these guys.

"I'm not a fool. The value of the Dogtooth Manor is more than that. Tell me - what did you spend your money on?"
