Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

After listening to Ozwald's story, Froststar didn't know what to say at this moment.

Although she barely talks about it as she gets older, Patriot has always had a figure as majestic and powerful as a mountain in her mind... She really can't believe that [Patriots are afraid of fighting]

Even this is unbelievable to other snow monsters, shield guards, and even northern guerrillas.

But this disbelief is the only answer they can come up with after thinking about it based on the patriot Bodzo Kasti they are most familiar with.

Believe it, but cannot accept it.

"Actually, what surprised me at the time was that even if I had prepared all the materials I needed, my own mobile city would be completely completed in two years... In other words, for you infected people, the ideals... Success is already within easy reach. In this situation, he still has trouble making a choice..."

Even though the old Wendigo obviously had other ideas besides hesitation, and had said that he would prepare a surprise for the red dragon as a gift - Ozwald was actually still a little unhappy.

After all, what he wants to give and what he wants are two completely different things!

"...In other words, he is really afraid..."

Shuangxing's expression twitched for a few times. She recalled everything from the time she met Ozwald to the present. She extracted the details she could understand and needed, combined them, and thought about them... until she was in her again. In her mind, she formed an answer that she absolutely did not want to believe tonight or before this moment.

Just like what the red dragon said before...that damn weakness born of love.

"...This bastard old stubborn, what happened to my mother-in-law when he is here?" Shuangxing gritted his teeth, almost crushing a pair of silver teeth: "...Is it because of me?...Or is everything just an excuse?"

As a young man, the anger gradually welled up in his heart, causing the snow monster princess to murmur as if to herself.

"... No, I've obviously said it, and he's obviously seen it... What on earth is he *Usas expletive* waiting for?!"

"What's the use of just applying to hang Mephistopheles?! Now that we know the problem and don't deal with it, how can we possibly solve it...Old stubborn, this old stubborn!"

"Outrageous! He really is an old thing that is as smelly and hard as the rocks there! He has so much free time to worry about my illness, and puts the cart before the horse, every day...!!"

Shuangxing cursed and put his hand on the meteor dagger he had given to the girl when Hong Longyan noticed something was wrong.Then he walked directly outside the big tent.

=With the fury of Frost Star, the temperature in the entire tent became lower and even began to freeze.

The red dragon naturally tried to stop this behavior. While turning over the table and lifting her up with his hands, he began to use his absolute magic power to prevent her from casting spells.

"Don't stop me! I'm going to find that old stubborn!" Froststar, who was stopped by Ozwald, yelled.

"I would like to lift off his helmet and skull to see what is going on in his mind!!!"

While shouting, Froststar kicked her feet hard, trying to break free from Ozwald's control.

The movement here even attracted the attention of some other integrated movements stationed nearby.

For example, some members of the integration movement who had nothing to do after dinner have gathered here and curiously observed the looming commotion in the big tent through the station belonging to the Yeti team outside.

Similarly, a few snow monsters also noticed the situation outside, and cautiously poked their heads in to take a look at Froststar, who was about to strike hard because he could not sit back and ignore the fearful patriots, and the coaxing children. Brother Ozwald, who also tried to extinguish Frost Star's fire of justice but failed to sing a lullaby... After much deliberation, they gave up their plan to get involved and turned around to disperse the infected who gradually gathered to watch.

After all, the daily spiritual and cultural life of infected people is very empty - although if you think about it, you will know that in their situation, they may not have much room for spiritual and cultural construction, so they will gather together as long as there is a little excitement. .

"It's gone, it's gone. My eldest sister is just angry for the first time. There's nothing to see. It's just the usual quarrel for my eldest brother. I didn't see enough during the integration movement before!" A snow monster yelled.

"Stop gathering here, go to bed. Go to bed early and get up early to be healthy." Another snow monster shouted, ignoring the bright sunlight in the afternoon and the fact that the tents where most people slept had not yet been completely set up. Just this nonsense.

But most of the snow monsters, such as D, Petrova, and Big Bear, still got together, chewing, chewing, and talking about the snacks that their elder brother stole from the small stove.

"By the way, don't you think the eldest sister is particularly irritable today? She has lost her temper several times since the eldest brother came back."

"Maybe it's because I was rejected when I courted my eldest brother. I heard that there are many people who are unable to court and then hate because of love (Zhijiang)."

"What Big Bear said makes sense." D nodded with deep approval, and poked Petrova with his arm: "By the way, sister, haven't you always had a crush on your eldest brother? When are you going to secretly give me a gift - ow!"

Before he could finish his words, he was pushed to the ground by the opponent and began to retaliate with angry punches.The things he carried in his pockets were scattered as a result.

Eating the Snow Demon's potato chips without any sense of guilt, Snow Monster No. 1, who was once given the name number [-] by Ozwald, suggested: "Next time, I'll go and confess to my big brother."

"Okay, okay, let's go together!" "Next time, let's go today! Let's go when eldest sister falls asleep!" "Why are you waiting for me to fall asleep? Let's go now!"

Ozwald: "--I can hear you, you bastards."

The Legend of King Arthur of Genterra - The Last Days of Kirijo: 70 Talking about the Past

"Anyway, that's pretty much the reason for Tallulah's change."

He gently rubbed his nose with his fingertips, which was slightly red, as if he had been hit by something.Ozwald sucked hard a few times, forcing his face to return to normal.

Afterwards, facing the frost star in front of him, he continued the topic that had drifted away before, shifting the focus of discussion that had unknowingly shifted to the patriots back to his own race, the tyrants of the integration movement.

"There's one thing I still don't understand."

"That's the point problem that prompted Tallulah to gradually transform into a black snake."

According to the information given by Kelsey, the reason why Black Snake is immortal is that he relies on the Origin Stone technique to assimilate the subject's consciousness - but this spell is different from the lingering sounds and echoes that the Witch King's remnants have studied. It has no power. words, let alone do any harm to the people who accept it.

It is even so weak that if the heir has any negative thoughts in his heart, it will not be effective. He must obey the Black Snake's own ideas, or even agree with them... Only then will the heir's own personality be regarded as his own. From the foundation comes a new black snake.

This is an extremely difficult, yet extremely simple skill.

The simplicity of it is that if a newborn is given a blank slate and is nurtured according to his own image from an early age, he will eventually be able to recover 100%.

The difficulty is that Tallulah, whom Cosiche chose as his heir, is not a blank child; she already had a relatively clear self-awareness when she was kidnapped, and she will be hostile and resistant to being a "robber" because of this. Everything in Koscchi... naturally has an extremely strong rebellious mentality.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The spirit and idealism displayed by Frost Star and the early Tallulah in their memories can be called completely opposite to Cosich as a conspirator.

So in this situation where I am on guard, prepared, and remain hostile for a long time, it is almost impossible for the snake's reincarnation to succeed.

And even if we take a step back, Black Snake Cosiche did not consider his "future self" and used methods such as brainwashing and psychological suggestion to damage Tallulah's mind and take away her body. From now on, he will also Because of this involuntary seizure, I was in a constant tug-of-war with myself...but looking back at Tallulah that day, it didn't seem to be the case.

She still chases some pillars in her heart, misses the past, and hates black snakes.

But, there wasn't much resistance.

Some were just respite based on extravagant hopes or fantasies after accepting their fate... The new black snake, or black dragon, was not worried about her resistance at all.

[Although she was a little stimulated by the sudden appearance of you, I let her come out for a walk after a long time]

[I am indeed an inseparable part of Tallulah. The only difference is that I can do more things that she wants to do but cannot]

The red dragon still remembers what Tallulah said when she showed abnormalities and faced his questioning. That was the result of the complete success of the snake's Origin Stone skill - the reborn snake was doing the original Tallulah. Resistance to certain desires.

These evidences all point to one point: [Tallulah encountered some drastic change]

Something happened once. According to Frost Star, Jean finally found a small abandoned city that could serve as a paradise for infected people to live in in the future, but because some war-weary and greedy infected people gave in, they wandered again. ; but still able to say without regret, after thinking, "We cannot let the world think that we infected people can kill a group of desperate people for the sake of a dilapidated city, and can use the blood of our compatriots to lubricate its gears." Such words.

Tallulah is a very strong person.I believe in ideals and dreams, but see reality and helplessness clearly. I am already prepared to be betrayed by those short-sighted people who "cannot understand our ideals" before success.

But such a leader, such a fighter... eventually became a tyrant.

Then there must be some despair that destroyed her.

Maybe she betrayed her ideals with her own hands, maybe she killed the most important person with her own hands - something must have happened.

"Do you remember what happened? It was the kind of problem that made Tallulah make an important decision..."

Because even he himself could not determine the reason for the relationship, Ozwald could only use such ambiguous statements to ask Yelena and try to find out the key points.

This indeed caused a lot of trouble to Shuangxing, and he gave answers that almost didn't answer the question several times.

But she finally settled on her goal.

"...Actually, there are."

"Oh?"

"There is one less person in our original team." Shuangxing's eyes flickered, and he spoke seriously and said the name:

"[Alina]."

Ozwald pondered for a moment: "I have no impression of this name. She shouldn't be a hidden person, such as the undercover agent placed by the Black Snake around you to lure Tallulah to the wrong path, right? "

"of course not."

Froststar shook his head and began to explain to Ozwald who Alina was and what it meant to Tallulah.

"I don't know much about the specific details, because it involves Tallulah's privacy issues at the time, so it's not convenient to ask more. But according to her and Alina, she fled to the north around 1088. In a small village on the tundra, she was adopted by an old farmer couple. It was at that time that Alina met Tallulah - now that I think about it, the place where Tallulah escaped should be the place you mentioned, Brother Oz. Black Snake Cosiche.”

In this unknown little village, Tallulah spent two or three years peacefully but happily enough.This was an experience she had mentioned countless times to Alina when she was still alive, and she would always smile... just like when the snow monsters played behind her big brother all day long at the same time.

And just like the problem that Red Dragon himself has experienced deeply, it is always difficult for the people living in Ursus to escape the oppression and bullying of the infected pickets.

The pickets, accustomed to being domineering, killed Ivan, an old farmer who pretended to be an infected person and surrendered to the pickets in order to protect his 'daughter', and was attacked by an angry Tallulah.Afterwards, Alina left the village with Tallulah, established the initial integration movement, and began her path of resistance.

And after that, just like Ozwald once taught the snow monsters and other northern guerrillas to read, Alina, who dreamed of becoming a teacher, became a teacher for the infected children, teaching them how to survive. Starting from common sense, fighting has nothing to do with violence... This has always been maintained even after joining the northern guerrillas led by Froststar and Patriot.

In a later year, as leader Tallulah led people to the western village to besiege the infected pickets, Alina went to the eastern village to exchange for supplies needed to integrate movement life - that is, after that time, when When Tallulah returned to the Integration Movement, Froststar never saw the Elafia who always taught children to read and write gently.

After that, Tallulah was depressed and sluggish for a long time, but eventually "picked herself up" again and continued her work as the leader of the integration movement.

Regarding Alina's death, although Shuangxing felt sad at the time, it did not last long; after all, she had witnessed the death of her parents and grandmother when she was less than ten years old... Infected people living in the North We have experienced too many partings and deaths, and we have an inevitable "indifferent" attitude after getting used to them.

When you have to work hard every day for today's food and clothing, it is really difficult to spend too many tears on behalf of the dead.

Whether it is grief or remembrance, these are the privileges of those who have no worries about food and clothing.

"However, if Brother Oz, you say there is something that Tallulah can't stand, then I think it must be her."

"Is that so..."

"Is there any help?"

"To be honest, it's difficult!"

Ozwald shook his head.Because Shuangxing was not a participant at the scene, most of the information she could tell was about Alina's benign position in the integration movement. As for the far-reaching impact she had on Tallulah, it was really unclear It’s hard to… go into details.

Not to mention the reason why Alina died, Tallulah herself has always been tight-lipped and avoided talking about it. No one has the nerve to pursue and touch the scar, so the specific situation is even less clear.

But something is always better than nothing.

"Okay! Let's do this first."

Holding his hands on the table, Ozwald stood up with all his strength.

From his actions and the words that brought an end to the discussion, Shuangxing guessed that he was about to leave.

She asked: "When will you come back?"

"Probably only a day or two."

Ozwald shrugged.

Now that all the information that should be verified has been basically dug out, Tallulah's status has been reorganized through discussions with Yelena, and she has a more detailed understanding of it.

The most that can be done next is to take a small break to prepare for the attack as soon as possible.

As for the infected people here, the general arrangements have been made by Red Dragon, and Yelena only needs to be responsible to the point of integration; anyway, as long as they can have enough to eat, these infected people will not cause trouble.

The demands of the poor are really very simple.

"...That's it." Yelena opened her mouth.

"What's wrong?" Red Dragon, who had already reached the tent entrance, noticed White Rabbit's hesitation, stopped and asked proactively: "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Yelena touched the ears on her head with her hands and said cautiously: "Just...do you remember? What happened when we first met."

When we first met?

Hearing Yelena's question, the red dragon was obviously stunned for a moment.Then he began to quickly recall the first time he saw the former, and what happened.

"I remember that it was the patriots who took me back. At that time, I seemed to have been seriously injured while hunting a rabbit."

[Nie Ma Ma Di actually chased you here! ?Quick, Brother Amei, you defend and I attack!Strike first to gain the upper hand!Fucking self-destruction realm, red dragon blasting fist! 】

"what……"

........

........

........

"I don't remember, I don't remember at all! When did it happen~~What are you referring to~~~Bao'er, why can't I understand what you are talking about?"

"You remember this reaction, right?"

Froststar sighed, ignoring the red dragon who was trying to talk about him at this moment, and continued with a face full of memories.

"You, and the people you saved. They always show special excitement when they see these ears of mine - yes, they are [ears]"

"Oh, I'm just trying to coax you."

Even to this day, when he thinks of the days and nights he spent in jail where he fought Crazy Carters fiercely for several days and nights, Ozwald still can't help but grimace.

But he still pretended to be normal and denied Shuangxing's words.
