Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

It can be seen that even to this day, Vaifan (Drake), who once had a close relationship with Snitz Linguang, still misses his friend very much.And if the Linguang family is persuaded from his side, the Grand Knight Commander Ioletta behind the Candle Knight Viviana Drost as the agent can use this as an excuse.

"So, should we prepare the contract based on the Black Knight of that year?"

"Send someone to find out more and we'll find out."

Knights of the Round Table, fight to the death!Knights Major: 24 It’s Time to Rework Power ([-]-in-[-])

For people who are obsessed with their careers, the white horse called time always takes them to distant places inadvertently.

Therefore, when Xiao Pegasus came back to his senses, he was surprised to find that the calendar in the Horrible Martin Bar had already opened a new page; he had also played several games including the debut match without knowing it. Competition and become a competitive knight registered with the Casimir Knights Association.

At the same time, as she, the youngest son of the legendary knight family, began to be active in the competition, she attracted a lot of attention and popularity... Of course, sponsors also followed.

Each of them is a well-known large-scale enterprise in Casimir, and each of them can be regarded as a high-quality company within the Chamber of Commerce; and every time Xiao Pegasus refuses once, he will find a sponsor next time. It will bring more favorable and generous conditions.

But it is worth mentioning that none of the contract documents brought by the spokesperson has so far mentioned any intention to invite Maria Linguang, the little Pegasus, to join the knights...anything similar to a promised status None expressed or implied.

This is also of course.

Maria Linguang, the Xiaoyao Knight in the eyes of the audience, although in name she is still an independent knight who does not belong to any knighthood or company, her regular partner when participating in team battles is also the novice knight Jie from Victoria. But Lant carries an overly strong color - the Round Table, their leader's deep friendship with the Linguang family, it was almost the most talked about thing among the people of Casimir more than ten years ago after dinner, even now No fading whatsoever now either.

Retired knights or companies with a little bit of their own intelligence sources will know; for Maena, who seriously lacked talent and interest and chose to sell off the family property when he was unable to make ends meet, it was the deputy commander of the Round Table who was responsible for using specifications that far exceeded the purchase price. Viviana Drost, Knight of the Candle.The financially strapped Linguang family basically only sells real estate such as territory or manors to the Round Table. Only those parts that are too fragmented and of little value will be sold casually according to the mood of the acting family owner.

In other words, most of the industries and cornerstones owned by Linguang as a noble in the past are now in the hands of the Round Table - but among the infected and the numerous knight circles, it is unanimously believed that the Round Table is replacing the Linguang family and is no longer able to deal with these. Manage and operate the land and industry; when the time is right, they will one day be handed back in a manner consistent with a true knight.The evidence is that if this were not the case, the Round Table should have dismantled the various old facilities built during the original Linguang family period and transformed them into other more profitable existences.

Of course, there are also some people who believe that it was the Round Table that kept thinking about old feelings here to reveal the truth, which allowed an unfilial son to become more depraved, allowing him and the Linguang family to survive in just a few years after Cyril's death. It's time to go bankrupt.

In any case, the Knights of the Round Table are the existence that maintains a high degree of close relationship with Casimir and the Linguang family today; even though they have been ruined and their identity is too subtle - [the intersection of other people's opinions], this is what the leader is doing A philosophy that has been set since its founding.

So now everyone probably knows who is standing behind Maria Linguang.

"This is the company that wants to enter into business cooperation with you this time, Brilliant Shield; please take a look at it, Miss Maria."

As a skilled spokesperson, Charney had a smile on his face that would make no mistake, no matter who came. He used impeccable words and deeds to tell the little Pegasus in front of him all the details of the contract he took out of the bag. Terms; even those parts that were somewhat disadvantageous to Maria were pointed out and explained in detail.

Rather than being a salesman who came to lobby, this spokesperson was more like a professional broker that Maria hired because she was not experienced in the world to avoid the hidden traps and rhetoric in the contract.

And this is the way Charny used to show sincerity---to use frankness and empathy to exchange for Maria Linguang's trust.

And it was quite effective.

"The above is the contract for this time. How do you feel about it? Miss Maria."

After explaining as he had done six times before, Charney asked with a smile, but he was not in a hurry to rush the little Pegasus; instead, he turned to the bar owner Martin and ordered a low-alcohol cocktail. He drank while waiting with a frown. Maria, who frowned at the contract, gave the answer.

After a few minutes, Maria, who had finished digesting the information, organized her first sentence.

"Brilliant Shield... I've heard of this company."

It was one of Casimir's contractors in charge of arms. It was not small in size; in terms of level, it could barely reach the level of around T1.5.That's why the numbers they gave are quite exciting.

But Maria was still hesitant.

It’s not that he’s hesitating whether to accept it; it’s that he’s hesitating about what words to use so that he can be more tactful and not make the spokesperson who has wasted so much effort and words to explain it to him feel disappointed.

So after thinking about it again and again, Maria finally gritted her teeth and whispered:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Spokesperson. I thought about the arms and so on seriously, and I still feel that this is not very appropriate. At least for me, it is a bit... well... too scary."

He glanced at Ozwald, who was sitting not far away with a glass of wine and Zofia chatting about trivial matters. After confirming that he had no intention of speaking, he continued:

"And you see, I have only just completed a few games and obtained the approval of the Knights Association. I am far from being an excellent knight, right? In this case, contracts like these big companies...are there some, Is it too early...?

After all, frankly speaking, Mr. Charny.Rather than becoming a spokesperson for the company or doing some advertising, I feel that as a competitive knight, playing well is my job... So the most important thing for me now is to work hard under the arrangements of the Knights Association. Save up the points, then go to the Major and try to do well...that's what I think, Mr. Charny. "

Although there were some interruptions and lack of confidence, Maria still tried hard to say all the words in her heart.

Of course, this was also due to Charny not interrupting her.

Starting from Maria's initial answer, he had been quietly listening to the words of the little Pegasus in front of him, feeling her anxiety, and taking in all the tiny movements of her glance towards the red dragon... until Maria finished speaking. The meaning couldn't be clearer.

Charney did not continue to explain to Little Pegasus what the "Commercial Federation can arrange for people to give you enough points" or something like that; he just smiled after Maria finished speaking and made a look of agreement. With a random look on his face, he clapped.

"You are right. Miss Maria, try your best to play the game well. This is the job that a competitive knight should do. I have to admit that some young people nowadays are too impetuous... …The training period is only a little over two and a half years, and before even playing a few games, he is already bragging about finding sponsors and doing his best to attract money. He is simply a worm to us Casimir!"

"In contrast, although you are young, you already have a clear understanding of being a knight, which is really valuable; and this thought is the foundation of the future of our Casimir Athletic Knights!"

Although he was rejected by Maria, there was no dissatisfaction on Charney's face, and he even sincerely complimented everything the little Pegasus said.

The lobbying mission failed again, and that's okay.

Just like what the current mission goal refutes, as the arms dealer's brilliant shield is [unsuitable] as a sponsor of the Linguang family, there will always be a sponsor [suitable] for the legendary knight, and [suitable] for a 16-year-old girl. people;

And the desire to focus more on the game and get a good ranking in the special tournament is certainly the insistence of the legendary knight family not to collude with capital, but on the other hand, it may also be seen as wanting to make better use of it. It doesn’t matter if you use your results to seek higher profits...

The Federation of Commerce has never been afraid that the Linguang family's demands are too high and cannot be met. What they are afraid of is that the Linguang family doesn't even have the requirements... then there is really no hope of developing this gold mine.

And as long as there is still a little room for loopback, the directors of the Business Federation will dig in even if they sharpen their heads!A kiss and a visit to the beauty of this goddess Casimir!

"Since the contract has not been negotiated, I will take my leave now; Miss Maria, thank you very much for taking this time out of your busy schedule to give me. Next time I will come with a more thoughtful plan that suits you. I hope I can do it again in the next few minutes."

Turned around and left.

After saying words that were extremely flattering to the other person's face, Charney walked away with a smile.He came politely and went elegantly, looking like a victor who had successfully convinced the legendary knight who was 'eating the ancients' to win complete victory.

And as he moved away, the red dragon who seemed to have been flirting with the escort in front of Linguang's house, [Whipblade] from beginning to end, slowly turned around, and also restrained his disguise, but the expression on his face was more straightforward, Disdainful Zofia went to Maria's side together.

"Including today, you have rejected the sponsorship contracts brought to you by the Commercial Federation six times, Maria; although you can continue to refuse, if you want to show all of Linguang and play in the Major Championship, style, then there is nothing wrong with accepting some sponsorship from the Chamber of Commerce."

When he said this, Ozwald's expression looked particularly serious.

Such words made Maria feel a little entangled, so she asked: "But what if I just don't want to cooperate with those guys? You know, Uncle Ozwald... the Business Federation is after all..."

"Then you stop becoming a competitive knight from now on, and don't learn anything from your sister; use your grandfather's name, go to Ioletta Russell, and ask her to find you an official position in the Supervisory Committee. job."

Before Maria could finish speaking, Ozwald, who had already guessed what she was thinking, spoke directly: "I have tried my best to use the Round Table as your support on the road to competitive knighthood, to help Maria block it. Those jackals who intend to turn the Linguang family into vassals, but this is not the way after all. After all, I am not a Casimir. Even if I can help you block it for a while, I can't block it for the rest of my life. So Ruomalia, you are not willing to be with the business. If the Federation is complicit and does not gain power, then after I leave, the Linguang family will inevitably usher in the day of death."

"Ugh..."

Maria understood.

If the Linguang family follows the example of the past, adhering to the honor of additional training and classics, not fighting for fame and wealth, but only serving silently in times of peace, and shouldering the burden of the Casimir legend in times of crisis... Such behavior will indeed be able to gain recognition. Simil's respect and love are true.

But there are all kinds of people in the world, including the light-seekers who respect the Linguang family's character and love the Linguang family's perseverance; there are also wild dogs like the business federation who are eager to extract profits and let the legend be used for themselves.

Although the undisciplined wild dog will wag its tail to thank the kind person who gives it food, it cannot learn loyalty and moderation; if it desires more but does not get benefits, then the thank you will eventually deteriorate and turn into disgust, jealousy and hatred.

That's why Ozwald said, either join in the conspiracy and give it more, or seek power.

Only with the powerful, sharp and skinless sword of power can the wild dogs be feared; the Federation of Commerce, these worms who have fallen into the eyes of money and can barely remember their own names, are forced to stop. Dirty hands full of the smell of copper.

Only by having both 'respect' and 'fear' is the foundation of one's life.

No matter how much Maria resisted this frankness, she had to hold her nose and admit that Ozwald's words were right.

"I'm very grateful that uncle has always taken care of me." Lying on the table, Maria looked depressed, but said to Ozwald sincerely: "I... will think about it carefully."

"Well, it's good that you can listen." Ozwald was very pleased: "But there is no need to be in such a hurry. You have a lot of time to think about it slowly. Even if you finish this major championship, it will be too late to make a decision; there is no need to make a decision. I’m ashamed of this. After all, it’s not wrong to make certain compromises in life, as long as we don’t do anything unconscionable—”

"Don't put so much pressure on Maria here! Although I can't afford the old one, my sister can still afford the Linguang family's ancestral home at this level!" Some people couldn't bear to hear it. Zofia slapped Oswald on the face, blocked out what he had not finished, and then said bluntly to Maria: "If you are short of money, ask your sister for it!"

After scratching her head, Maria said with a sneer: "Well... Having said that, I am really embarrassed to ask you, aunt, to spend money on me all the time... After all, you have helped me a lot..."

But Zofia was not happy because of Maria's [sensibleness].

"Money and stuff! You can spend it as you want after you earn it! Look at my garden, I bought this land just for this!"

"Come on, Zofia; those things in your house are not qualified to be called [garden]. At most, they can only be called grassland, okay?"

Ozwald sneered and used his tail to pull his body back, causing Zofia, who lost her support, to fall to the ground in surprise.

"And not everyone can have financial talents like you. Or Zofia, you finally plan to acquire the Linguang family and change your last name."

——Zofia, who once debuted as an individual competitive knight; after adhering to the pride of being a member of the Linguang family and refusing to accept any solicitation from any company, she still has some fame based on bonuses and just retired. In just a few years, he can create a family business that is no less than that of ordinary nobles who have accumulated wealth for dozens or hundreds of years.

Compared with Zofia, Maena, who had a huge amount of wealth but failed to make good use of it and was on the verge of bankruptcy in just three or five years after Cyril Linguang's death, was like coming to the most prosperous society in history. The two old men, the sun and the moon, don't know what to say when the powerful creature Baishounan puts on airs and asks for his luggage!

Red Dragon commented.

"Ah ha ha……"

Maria laughed dryly and did not answer Oswald's words.

Although she used to defend her uncle at least a few words, she has become accustomed to it now.

Anyway, there is hardly a day when Red Dragon doesn't diss the second young master of the Linguang family; now it's just a routine daily check-in.

(Today’s humiliation of Ma 1/1)

"In short, I will carefully consider your proposal, Uncle Ozwald; I will try my best to keep the Linguang family's emblem and not become a vassal of the companies; after all, this is what my grandfather and parents have been fighting for their whole life. It’s [Lin Guang]!”

"Well, anyway, just don't imitate Ma Enna.",

"Ahahaha~~"

Nodding, Ozwald took out his personal mobile terminal amidst Maria's dry laughter.

[So urgent, so urgent, so urgent!Brother, how long do you have until you get to Casimir? TM buddy, you are in a hurry to join a group game. What’s the difference between signing up now and having the strength of a dog like you, Saktali?hurry up!Let’s all go to the arena and make a name for ourselves!I want to use a super luxurious lineup to open the eyes of that old woman who suppressed me! ]

[Don't rush, don't rush, I've already arrived at your kid's hometown, and it will probably be here in a month or two at most; don't rush, don't rush yet.When the time comes, let’s wrap up the Champions League and Asia Season (I’m really spoiling you)]

[Arrived in Victoria?That's a good relationship. There are still almost four months before the competition starts. Just go over there and get something for me. I sent them the drawings and materials two months ago. Now that the time has passed, the workshop should have finished the product. You Go get it now and come to Casimir quickly, I'll be waiting for inspection! ]

[not me? ?? *Rutland swears* This evil dragon deserves to be killed by a thousand cuts. Where on earth do you have the nerve to say such stupid things?It was the dog that told me that I was in a hurry just now, right? ! ]

[Dear Metatron, I have realized one thing during this period, that is, my power as the King of the Red Dragon is unlimited. I allow them to open a store in Victoria, so that they can control the situation in Drac. In the Kingdom of Guangdong, you can eat food!If I asked them to go up to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun, then they, the stinking beggars, would have to obey! ]

[ha?What nonsense are you talking about... I can't understand a word of it.Can it be in Common or Victorian?Your grandpa and I don’t understand Dayan’s writing at all, you kid, how could it be——]

——Block and shut down.

"Hee~~~"

Knights of the Round Table, fight to the death!Knights Major: 25 conversations involving visiting

After hanging up the communication with Metatron, Ozwald did not go to a warm pool to spend an unpretentious two or three hours before going to bed, as he had done most these days. He sighed and dragged his heavy footsteps sadly onto the road away from his home.

"It's just one less bath. Why put on such an expression as if the sky has fallen and there is no hope in life anymore."

Looking at the red dragon in front of him who had no energy at all, Grand Knight Commander Ioletta couldn't help laughing.

"Besides, isn't there a large bathhouse for you to enjoy in Candle Keep? In that case, why go to places that ordinary people can enjoy by spending more money?"

"That's different... ma'am, it's different."

Hearing Ioletta's words, Ozwald snored and shook his head.

Although the essence of a pool is a pool, according to Ozwald's habit in last week's episode, bathing in a pool is more about "socializing" than "cleaning".What I want is an atmosphere where there are many people and they can chat and chat.

On the other hand, at home (Candlekeep), no one "dare" to hang out with him.Even if they forcefully recruit the likes of Bodro Caster or Geraint in the name of team building, these guys will still remember the duty between master and slave... and then soon, a game that should have been nonsense will begin. , bragging about how awesome you were in the bath when you were young will turn into a serious business report and task assignment.

So there are just a few that are boring.

It can only be said that it is interesting only if it is a pool opened by others, where you can engage in political affairs or brag and spank without any identity or scruples ()

"Oh, it's up to you."

It was just because she saw his appearance that she just said it casually, and Ioletta did not intend to have an in-depth discussion on this.

After all, it is everyone's own business to choose what kind of life and entertainment they want.

As long as the law is not involved, even if someone is so cerebrally paralyzed that they leave the few fairy plants they have around them and look for wild plants of varying quality, that is their freedom.

At most, the Knight Commander of Ida would be disdainful and send a few people to ensure that those wild flowers were used up, so that the succession issue of the Red Dragon regime would not be inexplicably burned to Casimir.

——But Ioletta has no worries about this at the moment; after all, the dragon in front of her is really just looking for a pool to take a bath and then talk endlessly to the masters during the massage...especially the desire for communication, if this If you can satisfy your needs, you can replace a bathhouse or hot spring club with a bar or even a curb.

According to what her adopted daughter Viviana revealed privately, the red dragon in front of her often ran out of the house in a hurry just after dinner, and found Dao, whom she had only met three or five days ago because she forgot to bring a fire and asked him to help light a cigarette. Friends; after it was over, I had a passionate battle with this guy who couldn’t even name him in the lounge or bar of the bathhouse until he stayed up all night. When the Candle Knight found out and came to him the next morning, he hadn’t slept all night but was still in high spirits. He was eloquent... and had absolutely no trace of the manners that a future person in charge of Victoria's imperial power should have.

To be honest, this made Ioleta, who had been anxious for a long time because of her words "I want to win the championship and fuck some fans", and who was worried every day that the reputation of all the great knights since the founding of Casimir would be ruined here. I was somewhat speechless... quite prepared to find out after a long time that it was just a false alarm... annoyed.

【Poke it!How can you find someone to brag about and have sex with when you open a silver handkerchief? 】

[Physiological happiness is short-lived and false, only spiritual satisfaction is real and lasting (confidence)]

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

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

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

After briefly chatting about a few trivial matters in daily life, and after the servants of the mansion brought tea and snacks for guests, Ioletta brought the conversation to the right track.
