Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

Although it sounded like she was asking, but judging from the swift movement of Viviana handing the book in front of Ozwald... she was eager to pull the red dragon into the pit and become her comrade.

Such hospitality made it difficult for Red Dragon, who could not react in time, to refuse.He had no choice but to put down the carving knife in his hand and the half-carved stone that was glowing red. After wiping his hands clean, he took the popular knight novel from Viviana and started to read it.

"How do you feel?"

"Hmm... just average."

Scanning the text quickly, the red dragon commented.

Excluding the slang and grammar that require time to chew carefully; the main line of Viviana's novel is that the orthodox knight rescued the princess from the terrible monster, obtained the treasure, and returned to the territory to live a happy life. Life can be regarded as a very conventional (old-fashioned) story.

Of course, that’s not to say that Wang Dao is not good. After all, whether a story is good or bad mainly depends on the author’s narration. If done properly, even the most clichéd story can have a huge impact on people and make people feel heartfelt. moved.

But the one I have is no good.

"The story wasn't punchy enough; at least for me it was too bland, too bland."

After all, I have experienced the era of online information like Zhoumu.For Ozwald, who has inevitably raised his happiness threshold due to the endless tasting of stories on various themes, this level is really not feasible.

Perhaps it's also because this is a matter of Viviana's own taste. She likes books that have a light floral fragrance and are not too intense.

"..."

Viviana was a little dissatisfied because the book she really liked did not get the recognition she imagined.So he was slightly dissatisfied:

"In other words, Mr. Albatarian, have you seen or heard anything better in your previous travels? Why don't you tell me?"

"Wow! Forgive me, I'm not a child anymore, why do you still want to listen to a bedtime story? Go to bed early, we have to go on the road tomorrow." Hong Long looked disgusted.Just kidding, it's already eight o'clock, how can Sumire have any reason?

"Does that mean there really is?" It was just a casual question at first, but at this moment Viviana keenly grasped the undenied information in the red dragon's words, and a different kind of brilliance bloomed in her eyes.

As a result, the excitement already high due to the first night of the trip became even higher.

"It's okay, just get up later. After all, morning is Miss Black Knight's practice time, right? We can start again around [-] o'clock."

"NO. I still need to carve stones and practice inscriptions."

"Please~"

"Impossible!"

"Please~~"

"No, Teacher Six cast a spell on me! Sleepyhead has already got on my body, that's okay! That's true!"

"...M~ No! I order you as an employer! Get up quickly, Mr. Albatrine!"

"Unfortunately, the mercenary service never includes 'telling stories to put a wayward princess to sleep', and we are not hired, but traveling companions. At most, you and I borrowed a small amount of money... Tsk!!"

Feeling that it was unlikely that he could survive, and feeling that it was troublesome, the red dragon decided to try to dissuade the knight girl from taking interest.So he made a request that he thought was excessive:

"I can tell you a story. But as a reward for telling the story, you let me touch your ears, because Elafia's ears look so interesting; how about that?"

To be honest, saying this to a woman you have met for less than 24 hours is obviously close to the level of harassment.But the purpose of the red dragon was to make Viviana quit before the difficulties - after all, after making such a request, if the girl refused out of shame, then he would naturally be free.Even if it were brought up again later, the red dragon would still be able to use today's rejection to continue to prevaricate.

But Red Dragon, who didn't get along well with the other party, obviously underestimated Viviana, who liked knight novels, for a story that might be better than her best collection.

"Oh...it's okay!!"

At first, when she heard the red dragon say that she wanted to rua her ears, the thin-skinned Viviana's face immediately turned a little pink, and she subconsciously covered the ears on top of her head with her hands.But maybe she felt that the knight should not retreat in the face of this difficulty, or maybe her curiosity about the story trumped the others... In the end, she gritted her teeth and reached out to grab the corner of Ozward's clothes who had turned around and was about to leave, -

"In contrast, you want to tell a good story that no one has heard before! Please promise me!!"

"what?!"

For such a result, Red Dragon was obviously somewhat unexpected.

And when Ozwald, who was slightly surprised, looked and saw Viviana's face after accepting her fate - Huo!That can be said to be [two eyebrows that look like frowning but not frowning, a pair of eyes that look like weeping but not weeping]

I feel pity!

"Oh...I have a headache. Okay, since you agree."

If I had known earlier, I should have made a more excessive request, so that this lady who likes knight novels and poetry collections would be able to retreat... but now I am riding a tiger with difficulty.

However, forget it.

The deal is done, and we must do what we promised.Besides, girls have risked a certain amount of shame to plead like this, so it's just a matter of words on their part.

"Then, that...ear, ear...ear...the ear is...here...please touch it...no, don't use too much force...because, because it's very..."

"Put your ears aside for now. It doesn't matter. We can talk about it later. Now let me think about which one I want to talk about..."

He waved his hand and ignored Viviana, who was a bit unable to respond to the program over there.Ozwald began to recall in his mind which story would satisfy the other party's request.After all, a space opera type like Sidnia with knights will definitely not work, because although Terra has day and night, it does not have a serious starry sky; the top of its head is a layer of Originium that is so thick that it cannot protrude.

The protagonist must be a knight, and the background should be closer to Leitania, or the Middle Ages that is easier for most Terrans to understand...

"Yes, it should be easy for you to understand the background of this, Viviana, because you often read similar novels... and the name of the story is - [Seal of Flame]."

After clearing his throat and confirming the goals of this and the next story, the red dragon said slowly:

"That was, in a country in the distant past, the king's henchmen were being ordered to carry out a vigorous "witch hunting" operation; but the person who was persecuted in this atrocity... was the hero who had always been the guardian. The Lord of the Rings knights and wizards across the land.

One of the female Lord of the Rings wizards gave birth to a baby boy while being burned at the stake, and that was a child who inherited the blood of the Golden Knight..."

However, Xu Shi has already faced despair when he arrived. This armor that protects the world contains the memories of his mother who was burned to death, and the flame mark curse (mother's eternal love) imprinted on the child's body..."

Then, six hours passed in this story called Hero——

Viviana: "Lala ╭(°A°`)╮!!!"

Ozwald: Hey~~~

ps: I’m so stupid. I set Oz’s main age to be [-], [-] years old, but I didn’t pay attention to set his birth date to [-].Damn what was I thinking?

The Black Knight Wants to Obtain Arima Memorial 1: 5 The Black Knight Wants to Become the Sword of the King

The next day.

The first person to wake up is the Black Knight.After completing a simple wash and breakfast, she dragged the big sword that the red dragon had chosen for her and left the camp, heading to the forest a little distance away.This is both for digestion after meals and for exercise.

And just a year ago, she would give everything to anyone to get this feeling of fullness, crawling humbly in the mud looking for debris. No one cared when she would die, and no one would care about her. A small thing that creates waves through death.Even at that time, she had the same attitude. Compared with whether she lived or died, the driving force for living was the burning and cramping caused by the empty stomach. In order to calm down the pain , you have to find something digestible to stuff it in.

——Not because [if you don’t eat, you will die], but because if you don’t eat, you will [starve to death]. That’s all.

then.

It's only been a year, it's really only a short year.

In an unimaginable way, in an unimaginable moment...

The man who had only foreseen less than a day, the red dragon Ozwald who claimed to be from Victoria, was sitting by a warm campfire - not because the "owner" gave the "pet" food as a matter of course; The cup is sprinkled with snowflake-like powder, giving it the color of happiness through intuitive taste, and the desire that arises from it.

[Look forward to tomorrow, look forward to the "sweetness" that comes with the sun after spending the dark night]

That was the decisive moment.

"It turns out that I am also a living person..."

That was the day her world began to change.

From the dust that does not care about life and death, it becomes a "person" who looks forward to tomorrow; after filling its stomach, it has a body that can hold a sword, the strength to live, and most importantly, it has gained its own self as an individual - —

"Black Knight", that man gave himself such a code name.I hope from the bottom of my heart that I will become more glorious as a result.

As for the number one that should be before the second name, the code name, Red Dragon also gave an answer.

[The name is a gift given by parents to their children with their blessings; if there is no name, it must be chosen by you as the audience sitting in the audience for the performance called 'Life' in which you are the protagonist. The title of the play is just right. It’s really not suitable for an outsider like me...]

Obviously the parents who brought him into this world would not bless him, but this man would; this Draco named Ozwald, even if he was trapped in the shadow of the Witch King, would still separate himself. Time to seriously consider her future.

It's amazing.Suddenly you have it all.

Even now, it still feels like an unreal dream.

But the heat in her hands from wielding the blade clearly told her that these were unmistakable facts - in a sense, this was also the reason why the Black Knight was so keen on wielding the blade.

The pain and fatigue caused by swinging the sword, this reality will dispel the illusion in the heart.

For this reason, she cherishes this rare opportunity even more and works harder than others to temper herself.

After all, all she can do now is keep waving the sword in her hand like this.Because she is so weak.

No one is more aware of his own limitations than the Black Knight, and he is aware of his decisive natural flaws that are not found in normal Terrans.

Although the red dragon had praised her talent for martial arts more than once, it was just like a certain annoying winter spirit wizard who despised her.

No matter how good your swordsmanship and physical training are, as long as you don't have the skills of the Origin Stone and the ability to cast spells, you won't be able to offset the damage of the opponent's spells by colliding with each other during the battle, ultimately making this seemingly fierce and sharp blade. It breaks and shatters before it touches the enemy's body.

Reality is not a game. When the impact and damage caused by weapons and spells on the body reach a certain level, the body will inevitably pause and sluggish, and then become even more tired in a new round of attacks... This is how it is formed. A vicious cycle until collapse.

And if it was just death, that would be okay.The most common thing for every Terran is death. The lower the existence is, the less afraid of death it will be.Same as Black Knight.

What she fears is losing the place that can bring her peace of mind and happiness - that is, the death of the red dragon named Ozwald.

This is a dependence that cannot be changed or replaced no matter how strong she becomes or how great a being she becomes.

People who admire and approach her because of her power will also stay away because of this power.When she lost the height of being looked up to and fell back into the dust, she was hidden by violence and terror, and her contempt for defective products would only double; she could not avoid it even without losing her power - this was what she learned from Hein The conclusion drawn by Rixi, the hybrid winter spirit.At that time, the Black Knight, who was still the "pet" of the Witch King and was able to travel freely in the field to find routes, heard the disdain and insults towards the former's winter spirit bloodline from the slave soldiers on more than one occasion, even though his power was No one can compare.

It is undeniable that maybe in the future there will be people who get along with each other for a long time...such as a kind-hearted being like Viviana Drost, and establish a true friendship as they get along, thus erasing the grudge against defective products in their eyes. .

But without any getting along or getting familiar with each other, the only person who would treat her humblest self sincerely at first glance was Ozward; only her king!

Now that I think about it, maybe the hybrid winter spirit named Heinrich is chasing the Witch King because of this, eager to return to the side of this tyrant who only sees strength and weakness and nothing else.

That's why when this mixed-blood winter spirit first saw her and Ozwald, his eyes showed that strange nostalgia - the mixed-blood winter spirit and the Witch King back then were just like the black knight and red dragon today.One party possesses powerful Origin Stone skills, while the other party is the type who suffers from rejection and struggles to survive.This made him feel the mirror image, and he thought that maybe it was the fate given by God. (Does anyone still remember the plot of Chapter 5?)

If that's the case, the Black Knight doesn't mind being called the [Witch King's Demonic Sword].As long as her king really needs her as a sword to wield...

However, her shallow knowledge prevented her from foreseeing the fate of the red dragon, his path, and even most of the things that troubled him were not very clear - because the red dragon was not one who would talk about his difficulties casually. A character who seeks comfort in this way.

But even if he is standing in the same place, experiencing the same events, or looking at the same people, the Black Knight can vaguely feel that there is always something in the red dragon named Ozwald... Something, and everything, seemed out of place in all of Terra.The way he treats people and the weird words he speaks from time to time are just a small part of this [huge difference]...

But she doesn't care.

Perhaps the confrontation between spells is an area that I, as a defective product, can never enter;

But at least, it must be able to block all the incoming blades for him... After all, the sword can touch the sword.

and also--

[If possible, I would also like to see the same scenery as that person sees it]

ps: It feels like if this writing continues, the Black Knight will not be Kai, but will become Gawain, King Arthur's "shadow warrior".

The Black Knight Wants to Get the Arima Memorial 1: 6 The Girl Wants to Become a Knight Worthy of Trust

"...Yawn, I'm so tired...It's all your fault for insisting on telling people some knightly stories before going to bed."

At eight o'clock in the morning, when Hong Long got up rubbing his sleepy eyes, while washing himself, he naturally complained to the culprit who had caused him to sleep late.

"I can't blame you for the cause, but after that, Mr. Elbatarian, you obviously became interested, didn't you?"

She frankly admitted the problems caused by her interest, but at the same time, Viviana also pointed out the fact that Ozwald was also enjoying it yesterday.

Moreover, she felt depressed when she mentioned the content of last night's story.

"Why did Lara die?"

Obviously the two brothers have reconciled, and Ryan has become mature and has someone he wants to protect. So after this, shouldn't it be Prince Alfonso who returns the armor to Ryan, and the two of them fight side by side to defeat the Dark Knight and the evil warlock to save the kingdom. Well? !

Why did the protagonist's sweetheart suddenly die?Will his father also have to die due to a certain incident?ah? ! !

"After all, things in the world are not always as beautiful as one would like, My dear lady (meaningful)~~"

"But this is a story! Why use a story that is supposed to bring people beautiful fantasies to do such painful things!!"

"Because a heart-wrenching tragedy is often more impressive than a cookie-cutter comedy (quick answer)!"

"I think this is revenge, Mr. Albatarian."

Thinking back to how she was tossing and turning yesterday and unable to sleep, the girl couldn't control the urge to press her right hand on the hilt of the sword.

"This is a revenge you deliberately chose to satisfy your own selfishness. You deceived the girl's innocent feelings. For this reason, I must give you corresponding punishment for committing the crime."

"Oh, that's wrong, beautiful young lady."

He stretched out his hand and made an incompetent move towards Viviana, then quietly took a few steps back and said sternly:

"You got the unknown story you wanted to hear, and I also got the joy of sharing memories... Both parties got something. How can it be called cheating if you and I agree? What's more, I didn't charge you the agreed [ reward], isn’t it?”

"...You can take it away at any time if you need it." Viviana gritted her teeth: "A knight will never make a mistake."
