Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

"Seriously, Oz; I've been thinking about it before you came.

As long as I find out that Tallulah did not save the Dragon Gate, but destroyed it like Chernobog; once I find out that she deceived us infected people, or secretly designed a conspiracy that is detrimental to the infected people... I will Fight her - she must know the price of betrayal!

Countless battles with Ursus have cleansed my mind and honed my abilities.

I can clearly say that even if I can't defeat her, I can let death take her, her crazy beasts and myself away from the earth... This is the last thing I can do for infected people like me, What you can do as a member of the Northern Guerrillas. "

"[The so-called meteor is a flash of light passing through the sky that can bring hope of tomorrow and survival to people in desperate situations!]"

Shuangxing said word by word, his words were sonorous and powerful.

"I will let the infected people who have been lost in the whirlpool know what they are really worth pursuing."

"...I no longer know whether it was good or bad that I told you that story to make you what you are today, Yelena."

"In my opinion, it's a good thing. Brother Oz, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be like this." Shuangxing stood up from the chair with a smile, walked behind the sighing red dragon, and gently kissed him Rubbing his shoulders:

"——Protect the weak and become the hope they chase and expect. I am proud of who I have become. And I hope to do better...such as getting the integration movement back on track, using my last light and heat, or Talk coldly (laughs)”

“But I don’t think Bodro Kasti would allow this to happen.

He invests a lot of affection in my kindred, just like he does you, Yelena. "

Ozwald put his hand on Froststar's and looked up at the latter.

"You two are his irreplaceable daughters, so he stopped for this and gave up some of his pride."

"Huh? Who makes him dare not acknowledge you, the [eldest brother] who is highly respected by everyone."

At the mention of Bodro Kasti, Froststar snorted quite dissatisfied.

She was still brooding over the fact that the Patriot didn't find anyone to inform her of Ozwald's return - an extra penalty!

"But just like what you said, Brother Oz, the old stubborn will not agree with my idea. He has been fighting for too long, and his old age is driving him to a path that only involves sacrifice.

In the eyes of his enemies, he is a black hammer that destroys fortresses; in the eyes of his friends and family, a patriot is a shield that isolates all dangerous blades, and once he thinks he should protect these people, he must face the dangers of these people. Reality, as well as the various emotions he projected onto him... This made the powerful Bozokasti weak and hesitant. "

"I don't think it's shameful to become weak because of love. It's a different kind of strength. This is what distinguishes humans from beasts."

Ozwald defended the patriots, and at the same time comforted Froststar.

"You can't do it for an old man, oh, although he is in the prime of life according to Wendigo's age - but in short, I don't think there is anything wrong with his objection to letting his two daughters kill each other."

"Similarly, as a daughter, I don't want to see my stubborn old man die because of this 'weakness'. I think this is natural. I hope that he will always be the invincible Bozoka in my memory, who made the bad guys frightened. Siti, not the old stubborn now."

Since there were no outsiders and the person involved in the topic could not hear this, Froststar spoke frankly to Ozwald what was in his heart.

But even if you take away the personal matters and emotions between fathers and daughters and families, the 'corruption' of the integration movement is still terrible in all aspects.

Whether they are infected who have heard about the deeds of the integration movement and joined, or they are infected who feel that all their actions can be condoned... Those with hope will only end up in despair; the beasts who crave violence and destruction are becoming more and more serious in their crimes. .

While it seems to have grown into a force that cannot be underestimated, the integration movement is rapidly dividing and degenerating, becoming a nest that breeds evil and demons... However, our leaders have done nothing and even acquiesced in the occurrence of these actions. , happy to see its success.

This is a clear betrayal!

She betrayed the trust of the northern guerrillas and the ideals of the [Integration Movement].

"Brother Oz, if you ask me these things, you are going to attack Tallulah, right? Then take me with you, I will question her face to face, and then - this time she will not try to melt my heart like she did in the past. It’s freezing!”

Shuangxing said coldly, the cold mist swirled around her body, and the Origin Stone skills were revealed due to her strong will.

But it was quickly dispersed by the red dragon.

Ozwald ordered the interior of the tent, which had begun to cool down and become frosty, return to normal again.

"Think too much, I will not take you there. I will not allow you to return to the battlefield again unless your health improves, Yelena."

"Huh? Then Tallulah... that's right. Brother Oz, your strength is enough."

Froststar was about to argue with Ozwald's decision to refuse to take him with him, but after a second thought, he accepted the argument.

After all, according to the "rumours" that had been circulated within the integration movement, the leader wanted to be the vanguard to participate in the plan to attack Longmen on the day Kiri Castle fell. Unfortunately, he was blocked by a certain peerless master whose identity was unknown, and he fought with him for hundreds of people. Round, he suffered serious injuries, so he had no choice but to stay in the core city to train - now it seems that the so-called master is the Red Dragon King in front of him.

And with his power, as long as he takes action personally, he can blast Tallulah down from the core city.

Easily, absolutely!

Froststar has such absolute confidence in Ozwald!

"Okay, the old guy probably won't stop you anyway. Tallulah can't be your opponent one-on-one."

Shuangxing waved his hand and said that if he had no other requirements, he would wait here for the red dragon to bring the old man back.

Looking at her confident face, Oswald thought for a while but still didn't say it... She said she would not stop her patriots. If there was no accident, she would have to stand in front of them. He had to fight the patriots with all his strength first. , will go to fight Tallulah.

After all, it is important not to make the patient undergoing surgery too angry.

Therefore, he avoided the important and took the easy and said the result.

"For now, I probably won't kill her (Tallulah)."

"... Seriously?"

Shuangxing was surprised at first, then frowned, and returned to the front from the back of the red dragon to look at him.

She didn't think Ozwald was joking.

Shuangxing knew very well that the man in front of him had always been the type who would make light-hearted jokes that seemed like jokes but were actually serious decisions... no matter what others thought.

Although I can't say he was careful, there was nothing wrong with taking what Oswald Artolis said seriously.

"Why. Why not kill her." After taking a deep breath, Shuangxing opened his eyes again and asked the red dragon why he made such a decision.

"Because she is a member of your race?"

"Because I know just one more aspect than you."

Ozwald made two casual gestures to Frost Star, and then slowly spoke with a strange expression in her eyes:

"If I tell you, Tallulah may not have changed. She is still the same person you know. And the current tyrant of the integration movement is actually another person?"

"?!"

The Legend of King Arthur of True Terra - The Last Days of Kiri Castle: 69 About the Black Snake

The Tallulah in his memory may not have changed. She was still the kind and strong leader who worried about everyone.

And the current tyrant of the integration movement is actually another person?

Could such a thing really happen?

Could it be that there is actually a twin sister in Tallulah who has never been told to anyone?And the other party took advantage of this to turn the integration movement into what it is today? !

"She has a younger sister, but it's not a twin. It's the result of her mother's remarriage."

After reading her rough guess from the changes in Shuangxing's facial expression, who was silent due to her own words and whose expression became increasingly serious, Ozwald kindly reminded her, which helped her recover from her increasingly skewed fantasy.

Later, in order to prevent Frost Star from diverging his thoughts, Red Dragon, who did not wait for questioning, simply and directly told the former about Tallulah's current situation and the plans he was making.

"Tallulah has been usurped by the evil god of Ursus, the Black Snake. For this reason, I need to try to dispel her and return her to normal. I am asking you to collect information about her past as preparation. This is It helps me profile her so that I can prescribe the right medicine."

"Huh? Usurping consciousness? Are you kidding me? Ozzie."

"Even if I am joking, I will only tell the truth - even if the truth is exaggerated enough to be unbelievable, I will use it as a joke." Ozwald held his chin: "You know I am like this Human, Yelena.”

"I believe I don't need to go into too much detail about Tallulah's past and present changes. Those of you who have been with her longer than I should have already seen it."

"There was once a clear-cut organization and clear goals, working hard for the survival of the infected; now it has become increasingly chaotic and disorderly, full of violent integration movements - these are two completely opposite situations that occurred under the leadership of Tallulah as the leader. appearance.

I don’t think that’s something that can be explained by [changing her mind as she grows older]. At least she’s not yet at the crazy stage that would appear at the end of her life. "

"...Black Snake...? Tallulah's consciousness has been usurped...?" Froststar couldn't help but mutter to herself. These words were too shocking for her.

Listening to Ozwald's words, I couldn't believe it for a moment...but it seemed to feel...incomparably...reasonable? !

In fact, this is exactly in line with what she and some northern guerrillas imagined. Tallulah is now only controlled by bad people, and everything she does is the result of being ordered by others.

"As I said before, I encountered similar things when I was a child. Although the methods were different, the essence was to take away a person's body, suppress and occupy his mind - in a sense It can be considered similar to the concept of craftsmanship.”

After all, the principle of Origin Stone Technique is that the human spirit acts through energy objects, thus affecting the world as a result.

As for the reason that led her to this situation, it may be a coincidence, or it may be the inevitable result of human nature. There is a crucial "node" that has been destroyed.Ling Shuangxing's original impression of the leader who led everyone forward to find hope became a tyrant under the control of Black Snake.

Based on the chaotic and excited state Tallulah showed when they met with Chernobog that day... the red dragon generally judged that she should still retain a certain degree of self-awareness and would surface at certain times.

What else supported her in the end...the emotions given by something she had believed in, worshiped, and created in the past.

In other words, it encompasses the past of the [Northern Guerrillas] including Ozwald.These were the last few pillars in Tallulah's heart that kept her from completely collapsing and falling into the abyss——

Therefore, if Black Snake wants to completely defeat his own consciousness, then Frost Star and Bozokast, who prompted Tallulah to establish the source of the integration movement, are the targets he will definitely choose to cleanse.

Considering the physical ability of the Patriots that is about to coexist with ore disease, there is a high probability that they will start with Frost Star.

Sooner or later she will be sent to the battlefield where she will die, right?Even with his physical condition, it would be too much for him to fight a few more times.

By then, Froststar will have died due to the ore disease and the draining of his body by the Origin Stone skills. No one can blame the leader; even for the patriots who value the rules, it will be difficult to mediate - everyone is infected, why? Can your daughter not go to the battlefield?She is obviously much stronger than everyone else, isn't she?

This is a bad situation in every sense of the word.

Both for Froststar, the Patriots, and Tallulah herself.

"So, you probably understand, right? Yelena."

"This……"

These words gave her an unreal feeling of fainting. Recalling every bit of Tallulah in the past and some of Tallulah's actions now, she felt an inexplicable feeling deep in her heart. Trust what Ozwald said...

After a while, the snow monster princess calmed down her expression of shock and sluggishness due to being stunned. After sorting out her thoughts, she looked at the red dragon and asked.

"...Brother Oz, you said that Tallulah's body was taken away by that black snake. How...are you sure about this?"

The Red Dragon had experienced the torture of the Witch King's remnants in his early years, and was almost turned into the second crazy Tower King by them. She had already heard about this matter.So Froststar was somewhat aware of the fact that some spells in the world could distort people's minds - but Tallulah had never been to a powerful witchcraft country like Letania.

So Ozwald replied: "I found someone who is suspected to be older than Black Snake, Ursus' will. Let's call it the result of positional killing."

Kelsey's survival time is unknown, but it is definitely frighteningly long. Perhaps because of her lack of desire and motivation, she is in a "bad" state most of the time and will not take the initiative to seek change. This makes people suspicious of this green girl. What can a lynx do?

However, as a person appointed by the Creator as a "narrator" and "teacher", the intelligence he reveals in terms of pure information and information has a very high degree of credibility.

"…Um…"

Also based on trust in Ozwald himself, Froststar no longer questioned, just thought about it for a while, and continued to pursue the answer to the black snake matter.

"What exactly is that black snake? Why can it usurp Tallulah's consciousness?"

"According to a more formal statement, it is a malignant god that exists as the collective consciousness of the Ursus Empire and acts in accordance with the currents of thought in the hearts of the Ursus people. What does it look like specifically? Wait until I get possessed too, or I will soon You knew it when you killed him.”

As for how he completed the possession of Tallulah...Oswald had some speculation in his mind.But considering that it was a bit difficult to explain this to Shuangxing, it would not be possible to explain it clearly in a short time and it had not been demonstrated clearly, so in order to avoid trouble, he used a simpler reference.

"Because he is awesome. Just like the patriots killing all of you indiscriminately on the battlefield, he is a patriot in this field (convinced)."

"That's it, okay. However, I think Old Stubborn is better than you..."

After a few small retorts, Shuangxing continued.

"The old stubborn old stubborn should also know, right? If the black snake is the evil god of Ursus, he said that he was following the emperor of Ursus, so he must also know... Besides, you have met him before... so , if this is the case, why doesn't he take action? Tallulah is obviously..."

At this point, Shuangxing's brows instantly furrowed.

"...something's wrong?"

She realized what the problem was.

——You know, according to the Red Dragon himself, the fact that Tallulah was possessed by the black snake was the result of the investigation that was launched after being reminded by the Patriot.From this point of view, the first person to have doubts about this should be the latter.

Even if the Patriots don't have the same connections as the Red Dragon to locate and kill, they should be able to verify this based on their past experience...or at least as a master of the same superb Sakaz spell, they can detect it. Tallulah is mentally strange.

But how come she (Yelena) never saw him make any move, or even mentioned it at all! ?

"The matter here is huge, and besides, his role in the integration movement is still Tallulah's subordinate. He should not be careless in rashly investigating the possibility of committing a crime."

Ozwald can still understand, after all, patriots are the type who clearly differentiate between the superiors and subordinates of kings and ministers, loyalists and loyalists.

This has nothing to do with his thoughts or not, but his personal character.

“What’s more, the Patriots regard you and Tallulah as their own daughters.

In this case, if you ask him who has already lost everything to make another choice among the family members he finally gained, or even fight against each other... he will definitely hesitate.

"So he waits, thinking there is still a chance to recover."

Generally speaking, it can be regarded as caused by... um... fear caused by the loss and recovery.

It's quite understandable, and there's nothing worth criticizing.

"This……"
