Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

"This may not be something that can be explained immediately."

After sorting out his colorful feathers that were messy due to sitting for a long time, Pyrrhus, a researcher whose race is Tripoli, began to organize his words:

"Just... you have experienced this too, right? Whenever we execute something or after failure, we always subconsciously have the idea of ​​[if I could know it in advance]; using this as a derivation, by knowing this [If] the next situation happens, can we prepare for the possible failure results and avoid making unnecessary mistakes? Can we use this to improve our success rate in doing something? This is probably what I want to do. device.”

"In other words, observing parallel spacetimes?"

"You actually understand!? I thought all bounty hunters were... That's right. After all, you and your companions all seem to have extraordinary backgrounds."

Glancing at Viviana, Pyrrhus knocked his head in annoyance for his mistake in vision.However, this messy emotion only lasted for a moment, and soon he focused on the unexpected receipt of the goods:

"[parallel spacetimes]...parallel space and time...what a good name. Can I use this term in my research report? Ah, of course it will be marked with your name, sir, and you are source.

But then again, Mr. Albatlian, are you from Victoria? "While asking, Pyrrhus took the initiative to order a cup of beer, the most common drink in the bounty hunting industry, from the guild service staff for Red Dragon.

"I was born in Londinium." Red Dragon answered casually: "But I have been traveling these years and haven't gone back for a long time."

"Oh! The city that never falls. Like Colombia, it is a beautiful city full of academics and technology, but with a longer history. As a researcher, it is really a paradise that must be visited in this life... Maybe if I have a chance, I Can I invite you, sir, to be my guide and take you around Londinium?”

"Then I might as well wait a few years, because I plan to do some business with the Grand Knight to try to make more money. I can't go out and go home empty-handed, right?"

The red dragon laughed and found an excuse at random.

Just kidding, the old lion is not dead yet. As Crown Prince Drac and Grand Duke Artolis, if I dare to go back in such a arrogant manner, then I am going to make people fart in my head?Life [-] is spicy!

"That's true. You have to do something that makes your family members hold their heads high."

Although the original intention of the red dragon was just to prevaricate, perhaps these words reminded Pyrrhus of his original intention of studying so hard. Tripoli nodded with deep understanding and clinked glasses with the red dragon in front of him.

Then, he asked tentatively: "So, about the permission of nouns..."

"No problem, but in exchange; if it can really be developed in the future, then I want to try to buy this first one - don't worry, there is no need to discount, you can just pay a price that can afford your own research expenses. "

"Haha, thank you very much for your trust, sir. Obviously I am not sure whether I can succeed." After finally getting what he wanted, and at the same time congratulating the red dragon, Pyrrhus, who was in a happy mood, let out a cheerful Laughter: "But it would be great if it really goes so smoothly~"

"how you said that?"

"The main reason is that I have a research opponent. I have similar research directions to him, but we have never dealt with him..." He took another sip of the beer in his hand and wiped the foam from the corner of his mouth. Scratching one’s head:

"I think there is information in the ruins here that can help me break through the research bottleneck and I applied for funding from the society. This is something that cannot be hidden and everyone knows it. Of course, that guy is no exception - and according to his past style, I think he will probably do something to hinder it...for example, let someone take away the information I have compiled or something."

"It sounds like that guy is more likely to kill you directly."

Red Dragon responded and began to figure out how much it would be appropriate to apply for a price increase afterwards.

After all, this situation is obviously a crisis caused by external manpower, and is not a hidden danger in ruins exploration... As the mission issuer, Pyrrhus needs to pay additional compensation for this.

Or is it better to return the task directly?

"No, that won't happen." Just as Red Dragon was planning in his mind, he saw Pyrrhus shaking his head and denying it outright.

This is a bit strange to call Red Dragon.

"So sure?"

"Because about this Ping. Ping..."

"Parallel time and space."

"Yes! He is actually doing the same research on parallel time and space. So if he gets my information, expands on it and achieves results...even if he is discovered to have stolen my information, Ioannis can also excuse himself by saying that he "just made some references" - after all, I can't actually guarantee that the documents in this ruins will definitely become a breakthrough, and I don't even know if there is relevant information. So if he produces results , and it is indeed possible to quibble like this. Even I agree with this.

But if he not only takes away my information, but also kills me for it..."

Having said this, Pyrrhus paused for a moment, with a playful expression on his face.

“That proves that Ioannis is [afraid] of my success, and he [must] get rid of me before I release the results so that he can [succeed].

But in this way, no matter what achievements he achieves in the future, everyone will say the same thing when they see Ioannis from now on: "Pyrrhus will definitely do the same thing better, otherwise Ioannis will do the same thing better." Why kill Pyrrhus?It must be because Pyrrhus's talent is above him]; even if I die early and achieve nothing, my achievements will be far above his, and he will never be able to surpass me——"

"Because you are already a dead man who cannot speak. Any challenge to a dead man will only become a laughing stock for everyone." The red dragon raised his glass to Pyrrhus: "Ioannis's act of killing people and silencing him has become his Certify your guarantee of [success].”

"That's right." A happy Pyrrhus clinked glasses with the red dragon again: "He won't risk his life's future to kill me. Because in his opinion, it's not worth it."

"So you'd rather shame someone and copy the results, then kick him away and say nothing happened?"

"Yes."

"Cry~~!!"

It's great fun, really.This is called Ioannis's hanging thing, and it really makes the red dragon a little happy.

And similarly, this mission of guarding the ruins has been settled.

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

While Ozwald and the others were getting ready, after a researcher named Pyrrhus left the Bounty Hunters Guild building for a while, a woman with silver hair and red eyes wearing a strange style of tight leather pants walked into the hall.

[Evil star! ] [I'm super, this bitch is actually here, forget it, see you all at the end of the month, I'm going home first] [The task is not done? ] [Why are you still having sex with this tiger who doesn’t follow any rules at all?Do you want to be beaten again? ] [Hiss... stop talking, I got punched twice the day before yesterday, and it still hurts. ][Damn it, do those two men from Xueshan and Rutland have any say in taking over the business?If she accepts it, can I immediately bow her head to her a hundred and eighty thousand times, and then, seeing that I am sincere, a thunderbolt will strike her to death...]

"........."

As if she was deaf, the hall ignored the whines that came one after another due to her appearance. The woman with hair braided like a fishtail took out a photo and asked the counter staff who also sighed with a grimace:

"This man's name is Pyrrhus. How long has he been setting out?"

"About two hours."

Generally speaking, as a union member, you cannot expose the privacy of other tasks like this.But who is facing this kind of bitch (5) who has been complained by countless people and still has no taboos and beats others everywhere?

"Two hours..."

After getting the answer, the woman was silent for a moment, then turned around and walked with the dull footsteps of Tathagata.

"Then let's sleep a little longer..."

she thought.

"The Ark, Forced to Be Their Spirit"

The Black Knight Wants to Get the Arima Memorial 1: 9 Skadi, you fat boy!

What should I say... about the ruins in front of me.

Leaving aside what Viviana and the Black Knight thought, at least Oswald was very disappointed with what he saw.

Because these so-called ancient civilization relics did not have the exquisite machinery and gears, or classified electronic information storage methods that he imagined; instead, they were all ghost symbols carved on various walls and stone pillars - those are here recorded documents.

"I couldn't understand it, but I was shocked."

Because of this, only Pyrrhus, who was engaged in this research and could understand the meaning of these ghostly symbols, muttered words similar to an outline in his mouth, shuttled back and forth between the walls that had been dusty for many years, and enjoyed these treasures of the few.

Soon, he seemed to have found something. He squatted down in front of a wall, took out the paper and pen he had prepared from his pocket, and began to copy and translate the information recorded on the wall - presumably that was his goal.

Taking advantage of this period of time, the three people who had nothing to do started chatting.

"If you ask me, the ghostly drawings on this shabby ruins are more legible than the cuneiform characters in the Egyptian pyramids. It's really hard for the researchers who have to face them all day long."

"Egyptian pyramids? Are those also a type of ancient civilization?" Viviana looked curiously at the red dragon who was making critical comments.

"Yeah, right, but you probably just didn't have the chance to meet me."

"Because it's in Victoria?"

"It's farther away. But the essence of the pyramid is to provide a mausoleum for the king's body. If you want, Viviana, you can build one yourself before you die. But remember to ask others to bury their internal organs first. Stuffed with antiseptic spices and wrapped in bandages to make a mummy.”

"...Sounds like a cult priest."

"This is the belief of ancient people. They thought that they could obtain a different kind of eternal life."

"That's it." Viviana nodded thoughtfully, and then changed the topic: "Speaking of which, Your Highness, you said before that you wanted to purchase a device related to the research results from Pyrrhus, to ensure the success of some plan ?"

"That's not the case. I don't have any long-term plans at the moment. I'm basically taking it one step at a time." Red Dragon shook his head: "I want that parallel time and space observation device. If he can really make it...I, I want to I want to see how [my kindred spirits] live in other worlds.”

"Yes, are there other family members who have the same virtue as your Highness?" Viviana changed her words after looking at Pyrrhus who was mesmerizingly recording.

"No, it's people... forget it. It's nothing."

When saying this, the red dragon had a very strange expression on his face.But before Viviana could dig into it, he stopped the topic.

………………

………………

………………

Three hours passed in this way, with endless conversations, and Pyrrhus had roughly sorted out the information about the ruins. Logically speaking, this work is over, and everyone can start to evacuate after packing up. After returning to the city, we split the money and dispersed.

But just as Pyrrhus predicted when he discussed with Ozwald before setting off, the living bandits hired by his opponent Ioannis had already timed their way to intercept him.

"Bang!!"

Without any warning, a certain outer wall of the ruins suddenly exploded, and countless rubbles flew like cannonballs and embedded themselves in the opposite wall.The entire ruins were covered with countless dust.

"You are mentally retarded! How dare you dare to violently charge into this underground ruins? You are really not afraid of collapsing the floor and roof, are you!!"

Looking at the thousands of cracks that were rapidly expanding like a spider web above his head, the red dragon almost carried it on his back.

"..."

There is absolutely no awareness that the ruins are being destroyed.Holding a weapon on her back in one hand, a woman with long, silky white hair and blood-red eyes, who was almost a nightmare to thousands of Casimir's fellow bounty hunters, was standing there. Looking here quietly...or to be more precise, he was confirming the thickness of the information in Pyrrhus' hand.

When the bully of Casimir's bounty hunter world confirmed his target, he began to fight with the Black Knight and Viviana who were moving forward. Under the confrontation of the latter's Origin Stone skills, he pulled out the particularly unique shape. Therefore, after seeing the highly recognizable sword, the red dragon who knew its identity became increasingly confused.

"No, why is this Skadi in Casimir?"

But what is puzzling is that when it is clear that the person on the other side is the person hired by Yoannis to snatch the information, Red Dragon has no reason to let her mess around again.

After all, the walls above my head were falling faster and faster.

"That's enough! If Viviana continues to fight, this place will collapse. You, the Black Knight, and your employer will leave first."

"Then you have to be careful and don't force yourself too hard."

Knowing that the enemy in front of her was far beyond her ability, and that it was difficult to even hit the opponent with a non-full blow, Viviana did not dare to hesitate, and after the captain Ozwald gave the order, she and the Black Knight quickly captured it. Stay on the Pyrrhus side and start evacuating.

The red dragon took this opportunity to cross over in a few steps and stopped in front of the killer whale that was about to pursue.

"What's that, Skadi; ​​can you please stop rushing into it? I have something to ask you about Agor."

"...No, I'm on a mission."

Although she was increasingly wondering why the people on the ground in front of her recognized her and even knew about Agor, looking at the mission target (Pyrrhus) who was getting farther and farther away from her, she still acted quickly, wanting to kill him immediately. Break through the red dragon's block.

"Tsk!"

Seeing the other party's innocent look, who only cares about his mission, Red Dragon couldn't help but click his tongue.

Although the red dragon did not dare to use even a destructive attack due to concerns about the environment that quickly became unstable after Skadi appeared, his identity and experience as the Witch King gave him the ability to be strong enough in almost any situation. Rich selection of spell slots.

Ozwald stretched out his hand towards the enemy, and several weak beams of lightning shot out from his fingertips and hit the Agor, causing no pain except for a slight itch.But before the latter could think more, he saw that the red dragon in his eyes had already shown an unnatural distortion, and shattered around it like sparkling bubbles.

The surrounding environment suddenly changed from the dry cave environment of ancient civilization to the dark and cold deep sea. Countless seaweeds and corals began to entangle her limbs, making it difficult for her to move... At the same time, she felt as comfortable as lying in a hotel bathtub. The feeling of sleepiness comes from within.Even more than that, there are many functions such as automatic water temperature adjustment and massage... This magic power that seals all desires like a black hole makes Miss Orca unable to suppress the excitement in her heart.

"Hmm~~No, it's only eight o'clock, I can't sleep yet..."

Making a nasal sound that she was trying to resist, Miss Orca shook her head vigorously, trying to stay awake and put up a proper resistance - only to see her holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, using all the strength in her body to swing it, setting off a storm like a storm. Jian Press came to try to break through the fog of illusion that was plaguing him.

But the Red Dragon used witchcraft and its own Origin Stone skills to create such a hallucinogenic effect just to avoid a head-on confrontation.

Different from direct violent elemental attacks, spells that act on the body's nerves cannot be dispelled by using spells to counter each other and eliminate them. No matter how strong or frequent the sword swing is, it cannot be dispelled.

But even so, the consequences of this blow were enough to make Ozwald almost scream in fear:

"Don't!! This place is really going to collapse! I'm going to beg you, okay? Sister. Just hold back and hold back!! I'll blanch!!!"

Seeing that the sword on the opposite side was useless, he wanted to hit it with hundreds of swords until it turned the world upside down and destroyed all the magic with his strength. Ozwald was so frightened that he quickly stopped performing the spell to avoid this year. The ruins, which had been in disrepair for a long time, really died because they could not bear the strength of Ms. Orca.

If this is the case; Ozwald, who originally did not dare to use the Origin Stone skills because of concerns about destruction, and now cannot even use illusions, has no chance of resisting the physically superior Agor girls;

After only tossing and turning for more than a dozen rounds, she was caught up by the opponent, and with a swing of her big shovel-like sword, it hit her head. The red dragon immediately fell to the ground with black eyes.

"This man on earth is their captain. He can be used to complete the mission."

Looking at the red dragon lying on the ground, the Agor girl suddenly paid attention.He immediately raised his hand to grab it.

"Give me the research materials; I will return the people to you."

Easily, she hugged the red dragon who was still staring at stars; Ms. Orca took a strong step forward with force, and the violent impact instantly dispersed all the smoke and dust around her.

And just with this step——

【Click】

The sound of something collapsing slowly sounded from below, making the already ashen-faced red dragon even more nervous:
