The ancient dragon of Arknights

Chapter 155 Graduation

In the early morning, the rising sun slowly rose from the sky, the darkness gradually receded, and Londinium became active again.But today it seems to be more lively than usual. The reason is very simple - another group of students from the Royal Guards College have successfully graduated.

Neltharion's senses gradually recovered, and he heard the footsteps gradually ringing in the dormitory. They were chaotic, but every sound revealed anticipation and excitement.

He turned his head and looked - there was no one on the pillow, leaving only traces of a messy bed.

The golden hair is the most striking feature of its owner, and the few drops of blood and moisture on the bed sheets indicate the absurdity of last night.

The windows that were originally closed have been opened long ago, and the breeze blowing from outside makes the curtains flutter. Today will be a nice sunny day, perfect for a grand graduation ceremony.

Neltharion got up from the bed, ready to welcome his new life.

......

Boom!The originally heavy door was obviously so fragile at the moment. Rita didn't control her strength carefully in her panic. Konoe was very strong in terms of strength.

The blond girl escaped again in "embarrassment". Her appearance this time was even more "miserable" than yesterday. Yesterday, she still retained the most basic dignity.

Today, her hair was messy, her clothes were neat, and her body even had a vaguely unique smell.

She jumped out of the window and fled Neltharion's room as soon as she woke up. How dare she stay there for too long?

"Yo...you're back."

Rita and Losili's dormitory was not in the first place to get light, so the rising sun had not yet illuminated the place, and the whole room seemed dark and lonely.And in this environment, Losili stood up from the shadows.

"Losili? Why are you here..."

Rita, who was caught, suddenly felt panicked for some reason - this was probably the fear after doing something bad.

"Why? Haha... Because I was worried that you would hit the wall again, I sat there waiting for you to come back so that I could comfort you as soon as possible. As a result... the sun set, the street lights went out, and everyone took a rest, my good Best friend, good sister—but she hasn’t come back yet.”

Losili finally walked up to Rita - although her clothes were clean and tidy at the moment, her mental state was extremely poor, and her originally pretty face now had dark circles under her eyes.

Although Rita is a little sloppy now, if you look closely, you will find that she is radiant as if she has been nourished by the spring rain.

Losili's keen attention as a spy quickly observed Rita's condition - her lips were slightly red, there were dark red hickeys on her neck, and there were teeth marks on her slightly exposed chest...

If possible, Losili really wanted to curse: "Asshole!"

But the person in front of her was her best friend, and more importantly - she was the one who promoted all of this!

"Eat this, then go take a shower and have a good rest."

Losili took out the packaged pills from her pocket and handed them to Rita.

"This is?"

"Emergency measures. You don't want to take a long vacation as the first thing after joining the Stormtroopers, right?"

"Um...sorry."

The atmosphere was extremely awkward. Rosili lowered her eyebrows and Rita turned her face away. Both parties felt extremely complicated at the moment.

The graduation ceremony is important, but attendance is not required. If the graduation certificate is not picked up by the owner, it will be temporarily stored with the instructor.

Therefore, Rita's instructor witnessed the first absence of his beloved student at the graduation ceremony - neither Rita nor Roselli attended the graduation ceremony.

This incident was regarded as an interesting thing among the classmates. Everyone said that the top student lady was not perfect for once.

In fact, what she did was more rebellious. Standing in front of the crowd, Neltharion silently recalled yesterday's experience in his heart.

After the graduation ceremony, the crowd disbanded - usually, even if they were leaving the venue, they had to abide by the strictest formation rules, but this time they no longer had to abide by it.

Many small groups gathered together, some of them were celebrating because they would still have the opportunity to gather together in the future, and some were crying because they were about to be lost in the sea of ​​people.

The reserve officers who have survived various rigorous trainings are somewhat sad at this moment.

Neltharion was walking among the crowd. He was not as confused or sad as the classmates around him; on the contrary, he was terrifyingly calm at the moment.

The Victoria military may have already taken action, and the plan against him may have been finalized... Thinking of this, the fire in his chest became hotter, and a strong wind suddenly blew in the originally clear sky.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, a familiar exclamation sounded behind Neltharion, and it was Fiona's voice.

Turning his head, sure enough - Fiona and Chen were walking towards him in neat military uniforms.

"Oh! Nana! Congratulations on graduation."

"The same goes for you. You can't be so reckless when you join the army."

"Hmph, how can you say I'm rash? Teacher Angelia thinks very highly of me!"

This is no lie. As a Victoria soldier, Fiona is indeed an elite level - she has mastered all the necessary tactical skills, and when facing battlefield situations, she can show a calm and reassuring attitude. Literacy.Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to follow Rita to Victoria's elite troops.

"But Nana, do you have to go to Colombia?"

"Yes, my sister is still there. You can't abandon your hometown, can you?"

Don't say what you shouldn't say, getting Rita involved was already a mistake.

"That's it...Okay then, if you come to Victoria to play in the future, don't forget us!"

"By the way... doesn't Chen want to go back too? Why don't you keep her?"

Neltharion brought the topic to Chen aside. This dragon girl seemed to have a lot of background. Although she was not as active as him, Chen definitely had a lot of things hidden in her.

"Chen Chen and I are roommates. We have said it a long time ago. Chen Chen's dream is to return to Longmen and make it better. I support her very much!"

"A very ambitious goal, Chen - I wish you success."

Neltharion reached out and patted Chen's shoulder. His attitude was sincere and full of emotion; for a moment, Chen didn't know how to deal with it.

"Why do you make it look like we're parting? We just graduated and separated, it's not like we'll never see each other again... If you go to Longmen in the future, remember to contact me and I'll protect you!"

"Chen Chen is shy!"

"*Longmen swear!*"

Chapter 156 The Eve of Heavy Rain

"But why didn't the captain come today... Nana and Chen Chen, you two are leaving. I don't know what she was thinking."

Fiona rarely expressed her opinions on Rita. In her opinion, Rita went too far today. The two friends were about to be separated thousands of miles apart. It would be difficult for them to get together again in the future. As the most respected captain, she But he didn't show up or anything.

"It doesn't matter, Rita told me a few days ago. The two of us... are very similar, so we had a great time chatting at the time."

Chen had a very good impression of Rita and was even a bit of a confidant.Nessario felt from the beginning that they were the same kind of people - they were both born into wealthy families, they both had conflicts with their elders, and they also had very lofty ambitions; in terms of personality, one was more upright than the other, but Chen was a little confused. Green, Rita is smoother.

"Same here, Rita Scamanderos - I'll remember that name for the rest of my life."

When Fiona and Chen saw Neltharion's serious look, they naturally believed that the friendship between him and Rita was a pure and sincere friendship; and Neltharion also had respect for Rita.

But in fact... Neltharion remembers Rita as the love of his life.

In the end, the three of them folded their hands and separated after a joyful "Graduation!"; they would still have the opportunity to meet in the future, Fiona and Rita were active in Victoria; Chen settled in Longmen - although Tyra couldn't help it It’s possible to reach the other side of the world within an hour, but there are still ways to move quickly.

......

Just when Neltharion thought this was his final farewell, he suddenly remembered that he still had a close friend whom he had never said hello to.

"That kid Fischer doesn't know what's going on..."

"I'm fine, congratulations on graduation."

As he spoke, Fischer emerged from the side. He had been watching from the side for a long time. He waited for Neltharion to finish chatting with his teammates before coming forward.

"Same for you...what happened to you yesterday?"

"That's what I'm saying. Neltharion, come here."

so mysterious?

Neltharion calmly approached Fischer, and the two walked side by side, slowly getting away from the chaotic crowd, until their words could only be heard by the other party.

"In these few days - there will be a Duke launching an attack on Londinium. The news is accurate, and no one knows what will happen when the time comes. If you plan to do something... this is the best Good opportunity.”

"!"

The Duke attacks Londinium! ?Wouldn't that mean...the whole of Victoria would be in chaos!

Rita and the others will leave Londinium quickly today, so it probably won't matter... But the Elu cats are still here, and Neltharion needs to take some action.

"Fischer...you know my identity, right? Why did you do this? Whether I live or die has nothing to do with you."

"..."

If other people and Nessario have various reasons, then Fischer is actually the one who lacks the reasons the most.

It is true that Nesario and he are roommates, but they are not as inseparable as Fiona and Chen; and the relationship between interests...Fischer has given Nesario a lot of care, and Nesario's Giving back is nothing compared to what others have given.

Neltharion originally thought that Fischer probably invested in it in advance because of his identity as Drac, but he thought it would be profitable, but looking at it now... he really regarded Neltharion as a friend.

"Neltharion, do you think I will have a chance to make friends in the future?"

"...Probably not."

Thinking of Rosili's occasional complaints, spies and secret agents are definitely the two identities furthest away from friendship and trust.

"So... you are my last friend, and I am not that cold-blooded yet. Take it into your own hands... See you again in the future if you have the chance."

"Fischer, you won't spy on me in the name of a friend in the future, will you?"

"Who knows."

The blue Vaifan turned around and walked towards the crowd. His movements were chic and casual, revealing his handsomeness.This is probably one of the few moments when he reveals his true feelings. From now on... he will have to face his own battlefield.

Neltharion smiled as he watched his friend gradually being covered up by the crowd until he disappeared.Then he walked towards the school building - he originally planned to launch a quick escape operation after the graduation ceremony, but after the information provided by Fischer, Nesario found a more suitable time.

......

Outside the school, Nessario walked towards the Glasgow gang in a familiar manner. He was holding a bag in his hand - it contained some things he needed. He had received his graduation certificate and completed all graduation procedures; After gathering the things together and burning them all, he officially left the Royal Guards College.

"Hum hum--"

Although this street may be completely destroyed in street fighting in a few days, what does that have to do with Neltharion?Responsibility and compensation should go to those dukes, they are all responsible for the trouble.

"cough--!"

In a remote box, Neltharion suddenly heard a painful cough. Who was it?

Originally, Neltharion would not be interested in this kind of body, but he smelled the smell of blood and it was a wounded person... In such a sensitive matter, when meeting a wounded person in a remote alley, he always felt like smelling a conspiracy.

Neltharion put down his things and walked towards the depths - after pushing aside several stacked old boxes, a film girl was sitting on the ground in embarrassment.

She has long black hair that seems to be cut from the night, and dark golden pupils shoot out from the hair, like a sharp sword piercing through the chest; these are not the most eye-catching, the most conspicuous thing is her body Wearing armor, slightly retro but solemn armor.There are also many Origin Stone circuits and new technologies set up above it, but most of the armor has been damaged, and there is still blood stains on it.

"A wounded... Tower Knight?"

After living in Londinium for so long, Nessario also recognized many unique characteristics of Victoria - among them was the existence of "Tower Knights".

Tower Knights - have a long history. They were originally set up by the Red Dragon King. At their peak, they numbered over a hundred. Their function is to guard the safety of the king's royal family to the death.

After the Red Dragon's crown was taken away by Aslan, the Tower Knight's allegiance also changed from the Red Dragon to Aslan.

However, this legendary organization fought to the death to protect the old king and the rebel army 20 years ago, and only a few dozen tower knights survived.

Without royal protection, the Knights of the Tower's reputation in Victoria suddenly fell.

And now, a living Tower Knight appeared before Neltharion.

Chapter 157 Dagda

"Get out of here or you'll get involved."

Seeing Neltharion's figure, the injured knight did not ask for help immediately, but asked him to leave quickly; the blood stains on her body were still fresh, most likely left not long ago.Her enemies have not yet been completely eliminated, and may even be heading here.

"Answer me, are you a Tower Knight?"

Neltharion was not afraid of the other party's stern tone at all. He did not retreat but advanced, slowly approaching the black-haired knight.

"What do you want to do!?"

The injured man was wary of everything around him, and thought he was just an ordinary citizen, but as Neltharion approached, the threat emanating from him made the knight's alarm bells begin to ring.

Thinking of the arrogance of the enemies who attacked the Tower Knights, it was obvious that there were traitors in Londinium. Could this guy in front of him be one of the traitors? ?

The blade was instantly pulled out of the sheath, and it was instantly knocked away before it could be aimed at its enemy - Neltharion's tail was extremely flexible, and it was not easy to disarm the weapon in the enemy's hand.

At this moment, he stood in front of the knight who was helpless to fight back.

The sharp and terrifying tail, six black horns like a crown, and the hot breath constantly exuding from the chest - the Tower Knights are after all an organization established in the Red Dragon Era. Although they have now defected to Aslan, they are the ones who dare not forget the Red Dragon. That group of people.
