Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

"That's not necessary. It's a bit too much to reach out to a girl you don't know yet. And I was very happy to relive the process yesterday. Anyway, I just thought it was fun and doing it would make me happy. Goal It has been achieved.”

"...Surprisingly, you have a classical character. I guess this has something to do with your family's long history, right?"

Viviana sighed softly.More and more, I feel that the hidden identity of my traveling companion may be far beyond my expectation.

Regardless of whether it was the words "Giving yourself the status of a noble so that you can beat your father with an equal title" when you set out, which sounded like a joke but didn't look fake at all, this kind of ability... is not It's as simple as just being qualified to enter the palace, but it's something much more ancient and once had a considerable degree of power...

And even though she could be given a noble title to a stranger at will, she was still faced with the worry that she couldn't even tell her name and race. In this situation, Viviana, who is passionate about poetry and novels, couldn't help but make some related associations. .

"It can't really be...!!"

Thoughts and thoughts emerged in my mind, but before I could go any further, I was interrupted by external forces.

Viviana felt like she wanted to burn herself to death, and the fiery gaze of a giant beast fell on her.

And when she raised her head, her eyes met a pair of burning pupils.

There is no doubt that these are the eyes of a dragon.

"You're guessing my identity, aren't you. Viviana Droste."

With an expressionless face, the red dragon raised his head and neck, looking down at Elafia in front of him.His excellent intuition allowed him to immediately detect the latter's active thoughts and the hidden danger to himself behind this thought.

"It's not too late to stop now. Viviana Drost; if you dig too deep out of curiosity, I will have to kill you."

He called the girl by her full name for the second time and spoke threatening words in a cold voice that was different from any time since they met.

"...From your tone, it doesn't sound like it's a joke, sir."

"Because doing so is my responsibility, an obligation that is firmly tied to the name; and I don't intend to abandon them yet."

As the oldest royal authority in Victoria, the Grand Duke of the Red Dragon.Ozwald has been the most watched target of Aslan's court until now. Over the years, assassins have never stopped targeting his life - because only by removing this most threatening individual can Aslan be able to Make sure no one threatens what you do below.Only then are they qualified to slowly deal with other opponents who have certain legal principles but no power to claim.

And as long as Aslan's royal court's eyes are still on him, as long as he is still the enemy that the big cats must eradicate; then anonymous red dragons like Edward can live smoothly... even if he has no way to judge and eliminate the heir. At night till now, after so many years, there are still a few lucky people alive.Even the only Edward Astorius he knew had never actually met, and the source was out of date five years ago.But as long as one person may still be alive, he cannot gamble.

[Artolis], while the name of this ancestor brings glory and power, it also means the danger and responsibility of being the leader of the clan.

"...It looks like you are having a hard time, Mr. Albatrine."

"That's why I said that I was very happy last night. Compared with this happiness, any reward is slightly inferior."

In this land where tragedies are everywhere, where killing and being killed are simple and disgusting; abandoning those unpleasant trivial matters and identity, sitting by the campfire and sharing with others, I thought that there would be no one else but myself. What's wrong with having a story that a second person knows?Shouldn't true happiness be so simple and unpretentious?

"But I will not stop this exploration, Mr. Albatarian. Even if you have given me a warning that enough is enough."

Looking directly into the eyes of the red dragon without fear, facing the oppressive and scorching gaze; Viviana said sincerely and solemnly:

“Because for a true knight, [making worried friends believe that they are trustworthy partners who can tide over difficulties] is also an extremely important part.

Since you, Mr. Albatarian, helped me in my most difficult time, there is no way I can stand by and watch when you encounter difficulties. "

"...You have read too many novels. Viviana; knights in reality are not as noble as you think."

"But becoming such a noble knight is definitely not a wrong thing, right?"

The girl responded, her smiling face was as beautiful as ever, not tainted by reality.

"Haha, maybe that's true; then just try your best."

With a meaningful last look at the young knight who seemed to be shining with light at the moment, the red dragon calmed down his temper and returned to his original lazy look.Turn around and leave:

"Pack your things. We will be on the road in an hour. We will set off at nine o'clock. You said this yourself last night; the knight must do what he says, otherwise don't blame me if you are left in the wilderness."

"Of course ~ I always keep my word, please rest assured, [Your Highness]."

Elafia held the hilt of the sword with one hand and put a fist on her chest with one hand.But then looking at Oswald's retreating back, she seemed to suddenly remember something she had forgotten, and hurriedly asked.

"As for tonight's conversation, if possible, could you please, Your Highness, stop talking about the Knight of the Ring..."

"Okay, okay, then this time we won't talk about the Knights of the Ring, but an orthodox love story where a hero and a princess get married; is that okay?" Without looking back, the red dragon waved his hand.

"grateful."

But she would never have guessed that this was also part of Ozwald's calculations.

Because the so-called story about the marriage between the hero and the princess told by Red Dragon is called "The Ring of the Nibelung"

In order to avenge Siegfried, the hero in his heart and his only husband, he destroyed everything and devoted himself to the love of fire.

Well~~ If we talk about works that cultivate sentiments and improve body and mind, then Master Wagner’s operas must be the best among the best, the art among the arts~

O deer from Leitania (Elafia), I order you to taste more immediately, to taste more the glory of civilization like our naked apes! !

——By the way, when Viviana gives up the princess and the prince again because of the "happy ending", then she can euphemistically call her "I don't like classical music, and I don't like knights either. Her Highness is really difficult to maintain." , then this time I will tell you a gorgeous opera that unfolds on the stage of the world above the Origin Stone layer."What?What is it, you ask?That is of course "Space Knight"!

Look!From ancient mythological poetry to medieval knight epics, and then freed from the shackles of gravity to become a space opera performed by free souls... It is as if we have witnessed the history of evolution from apes to humans. What a beautiful thing it is~ ~~

"To be honest, I am not a human being if I do such a thing (convinced)!"

Oh, yes, buddy, I am a Drak now, a red dragon born with an evil alignment, so that’s okay (laugh)

............................................................

Two weeks into the trip, Viviana had completely given up on hearing any stories from the red dragon named Ozwald.

It's okay, the stories are all good stories, but they always make me feel sad.

The Black Knight Wants to Obtain the Arima Memorial 1: 7 Quests and Adventures in the Knight’s Journey

Two months have passed, and the three-man Geta team, whose bond has grown so strong that they can use bushi, travels to Casimir territory.

When Ozwald looked at the traces on the ground left by the moving city, he told his teammates the fact that he discovered the human habitation and the subsequent situation after finding the city. At this moment, everyone suddenly discovered asked a question.

Just, how should I put it?It seems that my group of people... seems like they are not out of money?

Or to be more precise, no one of them has prepared a national currency that can be used in Casimir; which is why they may be able to rely on Viviana Drost's noble birth, plus No one with the identity of an infected person can enter the mobile city without any obstacles, but after that, it is impossible to choose accommodation or replenish supplies - except for the high value of a single currency like the Victoria Pound, which comes from the background of being a leading power. , and Dragon Gate, a currency that is relatively cheap but more commonly used as a trading city; although the currencies of various countries have exchange rates, they are basically only convenient to use within their own borders.At most, the border cities between the two countries are relatively close in this regard because they are too close.

In other words, Leitania's denomination currency is a bit unworkable in Casimir.At least not until you find an exchange office that can only be found in medium and large cities.

"After all, why is there such an oversight? As a seasoned adventurer, Your Highness Albatarian, shouldn't you have reminded me earlier to buy some currency when we were in Leitania?"

"Yeah... the main thing is, I really haven't thought about it."

Well, first of all, look at this; Oswald was originally caught and trained by the Witch King's remnants for more than half a year, so he had no extra income and was in a tight financial situation. When purchasing supplies for the journey, he also tried to maximize the use of existing resources. There would be no spare money to exchange for Casimir currency.

And with the addition of Viviana Drost, a noblewoman, to the team, the originally tight funds suddenly became abundant, and the worries about the supplies needed for the journey completely disappeared; from [trying to ensure that it is necessary] Suddenly it switched to [Consider the optimal upper limit].

After all, according to Red Dragon's plan at the time, he planned to fill up the fuel after renting the small land cruiser, directly run all the way to the Knights of Casimir, and then directly use his own abilities in the Commercial Federation there. The Trust Fund of the Red Dragon Archduke. Before this, it could be said that no one entered other cities for additional supplies during the entire journey.

As a result, who would have expected that the administrator of the mooring place would not dare to rent it to them because of Viviana's exile. The red dragon, who was furious and resigned to the situation, argued with the others for a long time on the spot.In the end, he decided to go to Casimir on his legs out of anger.

"Although it may indeed be my fault, I will never apologize! So I think it must be because of Viviana that you are holding me back (no mercy)."

"That's too much! Your Highness! You actually use other people's difficulties to shirk responsibility. How do you have no bottom line now to do such a thing!"

With her cheeks slightly bulging, Viviana clenched her fist angrily and hit Oswald's back several times.

However, all joking aside, the problems that need to be solved must still be solved.

"If we don't go into the city, will our supplies really be enough?"

"can."

Compared to the inexperienced girl knight, Red Dragon, who has nearly seven years of solo experience, gave a definite answer.

Needless to say, the equipment such as knives is well-made and is more than enough to last two or three years.The red dragon in the water source can ensure sufficient attack, and as long as the food is not wasted and the daily travel distance is increased, the same hunting as before is completely sufficient.There is no shortage of wildlife in the outskirts of Terra, and even something as seemingly inedible as an Originium Worm has a fairly clean innard after removing its outer shell.

"The only trouble is that there may not be enough salt, but we can reduce consumption and extend the time by drinking the fresh blood of the prey; so it is not a big problem."

"That means you have a plan, that's good."

Viviana breathed a sigh of relief.But when she heard what Red Dragon said about taking in salt by drinking blood directly, she couldn't help but frown.

"...But drinking raw blood, isn't this a bit, a bit...barbaric? It seems like what the Sakaz blood demons do."

"That's what survival is all about. It's not up to you to choose."

Anyway, Oswald can accept the leftovers in the trash can or digging for bugs in the soil when necessary... After all, he has been doing this for a while.But don’t tell me, he really misses that experience now, the pearl emerald cabbage soup, tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk. Can be expected~~

"Of course that's what I say. When you can enjoy the blessings brought by the progress of civilization, there is no need to force yourself to engage in such activities as drinking hair and blood."

Red Dragon said.While judging the elapsed time from the moving city tracks on the ground so that he can calculate the distance, he took out the current distribution map of Casimir's mobile cities that had been purchased by the Black Knight when he was still in Leitania from the bag on his back.

——In addition to getting a relatively stable place to repair, entering the city can also update the map information of various cities in Casimir to avoid the problem of not being able to find the city due to information failure.As for the problem of lack of currency——

"...If there is no exchange office in this city, I will go and see if I can get some work."

"Oh?! That means your highness is finally going to take on the identity of a bounty hunter~"

Viviana seemed a little surprised by what Oswald said about taking over the job, but more surprises followed.

During this trip, she had seen more than once the hunter's nameplate that the latter had registered to earn money during his previous travels from Oswald who was packing his bags.Although in essence this is not something too rare.

——In fact, for the vast majority of capable Terrans, even if they do not formally register an identity like the homeless, they still occasionally make part-time guest appearances to take orders to earn some money. Extra money.The only difference between formal hunters and part-time hunters is that the former have been engaged in this path for many years and will have more experience when encountering emergencies.

The truth is this, but after all, you can't resist the girl's enthusiasm for the three essential elements in the novel.

A handsome knight, a beautiful princess, and most importantly [adventure]

When I thought of this, Viviana, who had already gradually settled down among the relatively boring journey and the many sad stories deliberately created by someone, immersed in the sea of ​​pain, once again regained her vitality when she first set out on the road, and couldn't wait to ask the red dragon. He asked repeatedly: "What kind of mission do you plan to take on? Is it to conquer the terrifying monsters that plague the citizens? Or to unearth ancient lost ruins? If it is the latter, can we find the treasures left by our predecessors?"

"I want the safest one, the one that doesn't require any use of a knife."

"……All right."

Such an answer was like a bucket of cold water being poured on his face. His originally hot heart was smashed into pieces, and a pair of soft deer ears drooped on his head in despair.

Seeing Viviana's dream shattered, Red Dragon thought for a while and decided to offer some words of comfort:

"Actually, if Viviana you really want to get some ancient weapons or something like that, I suggest you find a large cult to join, find a way to destroy it and take away their ancestral magic weapons. In this case, the probability of encountering it will be higher.”

"Is there... such a statement?"

"Yes, of course there is, and generally speaking, the functions are pretty good; but that situation also means good luck and bad luck, because cults with this kind of equipment are generally not small characters that can be easily dismissed. .”

For example, there is a staff wrapped in cloth lying on the back of the red dragon.

Good guy, I no longer regard myself as outside of normal civilization, and I feel that being regarded as a civilization is a kind of insult... Ah, the ingredients are getting higher and higher, Sakaz people.

Then, combined with the plot of Lateran, Terra was killed by Sarkaz thousands of years ago when it had no concept of a country. It was also attacked 1000 years after the founding of the country. Even now, they are Sarkaz mercenaries. The Rutland caravans were robbed every day... The persecution never stopped, and the higher-ups actually had plans to resolve the conflict between the two races.What a living angel - and then, the timeline of the Summit of Nations is after Victoria, that is to say, even if Tracy declared King Terra, he still thought of peace as the most important thing before he actually took action.

Rutlan, who has been suffering all the time, can still think about living a good life. All he can say is, don't bark like a dog, you demon!

ps: If some people say that this is just the words of the upper echelons of the Order and the Laterans to beautify history, then the so-called persecution of the Tresis and the Sakaz people is just their own beautification, and they harm others for the sake of their reputation. A good excuse to position myself

The Black Knight Wants to Get the Arima Memorial 1: 8 The Bounty Hunter Bully Who Wanders Casimir

Unlike other countries, which are scattered and relatively difficult to scale, and buildings such as bars or hotels can barely serve as gatherings and tasks for bounty hunters; Casimir must have a very complete system in this regard, and almost The specialized union buildings in each mobile city make it not only a country of knights, but also a base camp for bounty hunters.

As soon as they entered the large hall of the union, Honglong and his three-person team attracted the attention of many people, and provocative whistles came one after another.After all, Viviana's appearance is the focus of attention no matter where she is.

However, when the hunters' lustful and aggressive gazes moved down from the girl's face and saw the well-made and gorgeous armor, the cold metal immediately made many hunters who were originally interested in giving up trying to talk to each other. The plan - long before entering the city, the Red Dragon had already asked Viviana to put on her original silver-white armor again; in this way to show her identity, she would reduce the number of exploiters and bounty hunters needed to enter the city. Potential Harassment Within Unions.

The vast majority of people in the bounty hunter profession are just money-oriented. These snobs who can dig out the tombs of deceased knights without any bottom line just after hearing a rumor. Basically no one is willing to risk being stabbed. The risk of piercing the forehead with a sword and no one collecting the corpse is to tease a knight...Who knows how many flower protectors this young lady who seems to be here to experience life has in her daily life who longs for a kiss?

"Has the employer left any contact information regarding this relic protection mission? I would like to discuss the details with him." After selecting and intercepting one of the many commissions with ease, the red dragon walked to the metal counter. Ask the staff at the exit.

And he soon got an answer.

"Of course, just go to the waiting room No. [-] on the second floor, where Mr. Pyrrhus will rest."

In order to facilitate the negotiation of details between the employer and the bounty hunters who received the mission, formal union buildings usually have a place for the two parties to discuss or wait for rendezvous.

Of course, under normal circumstances, both parties have to contact and wait in advance before they can actually meet; it’s just that this time, the employer did not leave to do his own things after releasing the task, but continued to stay in the union, which is a bit rare. …

'It's obvious that he plans to leave as soon as possible. '

Red Dragon thought to himself, then reached out and knocked on the door.After getting permission to enter, he began to discuss the details of the mission with his employer.In order to avoid differences in understanding between the two parties due to lack of information exchange, leading to a final break.

According to Pyrrhus, the researcher who issued this mission, his purpose this time was just to investigate the internal data of an ancient civilization relic; since the original location of the relic was a document library, there would probably not be anything too great. Even he could deal with the dangerous security system by himself; but for safety reasons, to prevent important information from being destroyed, and for some personal concerns, he decided to hire a few people.

And such a mission is in line with Red Dragon's positioning of not being too dangerous.But considering that in addition to the security work, he would inevitably be asked to help find information, he still planned to ask first.

"Can you tell me the direction of your data selection this time?"
