The ancient dragon of Arknights

"Am I...in the hospital?"

When he opened his eyes, he saw an unfamiliar ceiling. This was the first time Neltharion had experienced this.

He looked around - and found that Rita, Fiona, Chen and Losili were all waiting around. They were either already asleep or drowsy and fishing with their heads hanging down.

"..."

Neltharion sat up while ensuring silence. He pulled away the hospital gown on his body and found that there were almost no injuries on his body. There were no Originium fragments, bone spurs, or bloody holes. An extremely healthy body.

'I don't know if the hospital has detected any abnormality in me. It would be okay if nothing is found...but if it is found. '

Although Colombian officials have always preached that human nature is the bottom line of science, and the Ministry of Information has continued to criticize matters related to human experimentation; Nesario has been wandering in a gray area since he was a child. Although gangs and human experimentation are incompatible, he still occasionally finds I got a few fragmentary clues.

Human experiments are the fastest way to obtain results from various experiments. It can eliminate most clinical trials and obtain results in a leap.

In the history of the Terran countries, wars have never ceased. Although large-scale wars have not directly broken out in modern times, the continuously upgraded weapons and equipment have long demonstrated the ambitions of various countries.

Human enhancement - what a fascinating word.What kind of combat effectiveness can the originally powerful army unleash after being strengthened?

Neltharion can only look forward to it now - although Victoria is one of the powerful nations of Terra, its industrial focus is on the purest Originium mechanical engineering.Steam knights that drive huge armors, high-speed battleships that travel through the wilderness and destroy city walls; those rumbling mechanical behemoths are common in Victoria, but high-end gadgets such as biological experiments and human medicine are relatively rare.

At present, the companies and research institutes that are best at this field are probably in Colombia; Nesario's choice to leave his hometown to study now seems to be a smart decision.

"Neltharion? How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Rita was the first to feel the movement and wake up. Her voice randomly woke up the others. In an instant, a group of unique warblers surrounded Neltharion's bed.

"It's okay, it's okay. I feel very good now. Don't worry. Are you all tired? Leave me alone and go rest first."

"How can it be okay? You have been in the high concentration of Source Stone dust for several 10 minutes! The hospital has injected you with blockers, and now you need to rest."

During the on-site investigation after the war, the investigator quickly ran out after entering the pipeline. According to him, it was filled with high concentrations of Originium dust - "Are these demons crazy!? They were actually in this kind of situation." Detonate the Source Stone bomb somewhere!"

As a result, people wearing chemical protective suits entered again, and then they saw the broken limbs and flesh and the damaged and leaked Source Stone mixture deep in the pipeline.

It is said that a newcomer was brought with him to accumulate field experience - but he was so frightened by the scraps of meat that he vomited in his helmet. It is not clear whether he will regret entering this profession in the future. Nesario can only say sorry. .

"Now that place has been strictly sealed off, the high concentration of Source Stone dust and the leaked Source Stone mixture have caused serious pollution. The aftermath will probably be very troublesome. Of course, this has nothing to do with you Nana, you just need to rest and recover. , and then just wait for the medal.”

"Will I still have a medal?"

"Why not? One person destroyed the mercenary's conspiracy. If all the Source Stone mixtures were leaked, one or two city districts might be destroyed."

Chen's tone was full of praise. She had dreamed of being a hero since she was a child. She sealed this dream away after she learned about the risks and burdens of being a hero when she grew up. However, this did not stop her from admiring everyone who came forward.Neltharion really did something heroic this time!

"Actually, all the trouble was caused by me. Let's just clean up the mess..."

After talking for a while, Rita suggested that Nesario should rest, and they were going to take a rest.

After a day of cooperating with the investigation and care after the high-intensity exercise, Iron Man could hardly stand it any longer.

The three of them left the ward, and Rita was the last one. When she walked out of the room, she looked at the same corner—Losili was standing there, and she didn't seem to intend to leave.Losili had already approached Rita beforehand and asked her to spend some time alone with Neltharion, as they had something to say.

Rita was a reasonable person, and she didn't blame Rosilie for deciphering the cipher text—the responsibility wasn't on her, so she didn't blame her roommate for anything.

Same goes for Chen and Fiona, but now - it's Rosilie who's to blame.

"So, is there anything else you want to say?"

When the footsteps of Rita and the others gradually faded away, Nessario looked at Rosili with interest. Her usual smile that looked like a successful prank was completely gone at the moment, and the expression on her face was very low.

"......sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

"I shouldn't have asked you to investigate that secret text. If I reported it directly, there wouldn't have been so many things. I even almost let you... Anyway, I'm sorry..."

Neltharion was now filled with peace and even some satisfaction; the worry and fatigue after the deadly battle had somewhat dissipated at this moment.

Because he found that he was quite good at making friends - the friends he made were all trustworthy guys.

He had caused such a big trouble on his own, and as a military-related personnel, it should be particularly difficult for Losili to do so. In the end, she did not sell herself out or clean herself up immediately, but waited quietly, and then immediately Apologize.

Rita, Fiona, and Chen also did not alienate themselves immediately, but regretted that they could not support Neltharion immediately.

In fact, Neltharion felt that all the responsibility for this matter lay with him - it was because of his greed that the matter developed to the worst situation, and even involved many people.

"I am entirely responsible for this. You have no responsibility whatsoever. On the contrary - I am sorry for involving you."

The black horns slowly lowered, and Neltharion lowered his head.

"Huh? This...what is this? You...I...pff-sorry."

Rosili had never encountered such a situation before, where both parties apologized to each other... She couldn't help but laugh out loud, and shed tears along with it.

"So, this matter is over. Let's all forgive each other, okay? Rather than this, let's think about how to deal with it in the future."

Neltharion waved his hand and motioned for Rosili to come over. He first wiped away the glistening water from his green eyes, and then whispered, "Is there any bugging in this room?"

Losili's expression suddenly became serious, and she immediately began to look around the room, believing that there would be no omissions with her anti-reconnaissance ability.

"No."

"Good, I need to know what was discovered during the on-site investigation. This is about my future freedom..."

Because there were so many things to discuss, Nessario had no idea at the moment - where are the three big cats from the Glasgow Gang?

Chapter 1 Collusion

Royal Victoria College of Guards - Drawing Room.

Indra was lying on the sofa bored. Although this place was luxurious, she couldn't stay any longer. The group of nobles came from time to time to interrogate them, and then they were not allowed to leave.She was getting bored to death!

"Be quiet, Indra. We probably won't be able to leave until this matter is over. Instead of complaining there, you might as well ask them to send you some equipment to practice for you. At least you have something to do."

Morgan was reading a thick book in her hand, and there were several other books piled around her. It seemed that she had been reading without stopping.

It's no wonder that Morgan was called the brains of the Glasgow Gang by Vina, and everyone cheered for her to say so; although she always said that she was just a little smart.

But behind the scenes, in order to be worthy of the title of the so-called "team brain", she has worked hard and learned about business management, teamwork, and many other things.

Now - Victoria's most precious palace of knowledge is right in front of her, and she is studying like crazy now just to make herself a step further; right now, she can be said to have no thought of food and drink, and can't wait to eat all the books in her stomach.

"Master, what about you? Aren't you bored?"

"It's okay. These books are really interesting."

Vina is also holding a book, with the words "Victorian Calendar" visible on the cover.Other Victorians might read this book with a sense of pride and glory, but for Vina...it's weird because a lot of things in it are "family matters" to her.

"Vina, from the Glasgow Gang, come for a visit."

"Ah, here we go again."

In the past day, people from Victoria's military have come several times, but Wei Na and the others have already told them everything they know. What else are they dissatisfied with?

"I'll be back when I go."

Vina walked out of the room and followed the officer to the interrogation room.

It was said to be an interrogation room, but there was no dark enclosed space or dazzling white lights; a separate reception room was used as an interrogation room, so it seemed somewhat comfortable during the period.

Vina entered the room, and there was a person waiting in the room in advance.

He was wearing a Victoria officer's uniform, and his military cap was placed on the table. His blond hair was already a little white, and even the hair on his animal ears was beginning to become loose.

But what is different from this old look are his eyes - piercing and piercing, like an eagle. This is not a simple officer at first glance.

"The leader of the Glasgow Gang, Vina. Or...Victoria's Crown Prince - Her Majesty Alexandrina Vina Victoria?"

"..."

Wei Na was not surprised at all, she didn't even feel surprised at all.This was to be expected, and she knew that her crude disguise could not hide anything.

"Don't worry, this room is very safe. There are no cameras, no bugs, and no Origin Stone array."

"So what? A name means nothing, whether you compliment me or intimidate me. Victoria won't change anything, it won't stop just because of a little gang leader."

"Haha... You are joking. I am just confirming my identity. After all, it will be helpful for the follow-up work. So - what is your relationship with Neltharion?"

'Sure enough, you still can't escape? '

Vina was not worried about her own safety at all. Aslan's existence was still necessary. Even if she was exposed, someone would suppress the matter or cover it up.

But Neltharion couldn't do it - Vina knew that most of the nobles were her enemies, but there were many people among them who could unite.But not Drac - Drac is completely extinct in Victoria.

Now that Drak is extinct, it is not appropriate to have one more Drak on the board.

"It was just a simple investment relationship - he funded the activities of the Glasgow gang and we helped where we could."

Vina deliberately led towards the gray area. She hoped that the matter would stop there. Nesario's identity must be kept secret. It was better to be targeted by the police than to be tracked by a killer.

"I'm afraid that's not the case. He can defeat a full team of fully armed Sakaz mercenaries with one person's strength. This strength is not to mention ordinary students. It is difficult for even the Tower Knight to do it. Do you think this is normal? ?"

"The Glasgow gang didn't break the law, and neither did Nessario. Would Victoria convict a man of excessive ability?"

Vina knows one thing very well, that is, there must be a decent reason for doing things under the sun; because of the king's inaction and stupidity, the people can hang him on the execution platform.

Now that Nessario's case has come to light, Victoria must have a reasonable name if she wants to arrest him.

Even if you plan to do it secretly, that will happen in the future.

"Your Highness Vina, this is no small matter. The appearance of Drake will bring huge turmoil to Victoria!"

The officer in front of him suddenly became excited, and he addressed Vina with respect - but even so, Vina remained indifferent.

Loyalty is never something that can be expressed through words. "Your Highness" means nothing.

"If Neltharion were Drak, I would kill him immediately. I know Drak's threat better than you!"

rage!

Vina was like an enraged lion at this moment, mentioning Draco in front of Aslan, this was the biggest offense!

"...I hope your judgment is correct."

Who saw through whose disguise?Not sure, but Vina did her best.

What followed was a serious confession about the incident. Vina recounted the entire process and after confirming that it was consistent with the previous content, the officer also left.

At least the military has not confirmed Neltharion's identity yet, but when he fully recovers, some tests will certainly be required.

'Take care of yourself, Neltharion. '

......

As for the protagonist of this incident?

Neltharion now knew that his future would be ill-fated. After a confrontation with Losili, he decided to minimize the impact of the matter.

After discovering and interpreting the cipher text, the two of them made a mistake in judgment, and then they ran into the Sakaz mercenaries together with the Glasgow Gang.

As for Neltharion's record afterwards... I can only answer truthfully.

"My sister can use the Originium Technique to control calcium elements. Those bone spurs can be regarded as the product of my Originium Technique."

"But don't you have the talent for Origin Stone skills?"

"This is the best point to manipulate. Listen to me carefully..."

Chapter 1 Lies

Three days later, Nesario finally left the hospital. He recovered quickly and had no external injuries. Three days later, after an examination found that there were no abnormalities in his body, he was naturally released.

Of course, the most critical mineral disease is also not infected.Neltharion himself believed that he must be infected with oriosis, but no matter how many times he checked with instruments, the content of Originium particles in his body was lower than that of normal people. The doctors praised him for taking good protective measures, and he looked like he would live a long life. of health.

"Haha...praise a dragon for its long life...I will take it as you are praising me."

Nesario returned to campus immediately. Instead of returning to class, he approached Angelia.

"You caused a lot of trouble this time, but what's even more troublesome is that you solved it."

"Isn't that bad?"

"Haha, you don't know how many people are paying attention to you. One man killed an entire team of heavily armed Sakaz mercenaries with his bare hands. Neltharion, do you think I could achieve this feat in the army? "

"With ease?"

"Absolutely impossible. Although Sakaz has been ostracized, only by fighting against each other will you know that these guys are born warriors. So, tell the truth later - if you are found out after hiding it, it will be terrible. That’s troublesome.”

"Yes, sir."

After entering the office, there were already three people in officer uniforms waiting in the room.

Neltharion straightened his back and saluted, then took his seat after receiving permission.
