Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

That was the real reason why she told Ozwald to come here this time.

"Someone reported to me that the directors of the Business Federation have begun to draw up a future business contract with Linguangjia, and this will be after the Major Championships."

With her hands folded on her lap, Ioletta was observing the reaction of the red dragon in front of her while telling the information given by the informant.

It is well known to everyone in Casimir that the Chamber of Commerce is watching the profits from the famous Linguang family as if they can never get what they want; but now, the active planning of these insects who only have profits in their eyes has failed. There have been many things that happened, and I even acted so impatient... I guess I should be somewhat sure of success.

Judging from the current state of the Linguang family, there is no doubt that it must be the result of the tacit approval of Ozwald, who is Snitz's close friend and takes care of the elders of his family.

As for the character and temperament of this red dragon, the Grand Knight, who has been observing it intermittently for more than ten years, is willing to give it a rating that is much higher than the standard. He is convinced that there is no way he can do anything that would disregard the friendship he had in the past. , the despicable act of secretly making peace with the business federation.

But as a comrade who had crossed the most severe battlefield of the Tenth Uqa War with Cyril Linguang, Lao Tianma's children have always been the thing she cared about most besides her motherland Casimir.

So even though Ioleta felt at ease, she still couldn't help but ask unnecessary questions:

"The creed that Cyril has been adhering to since then, I think you decided to let the child (Maria) make this change after careful consideration."

"I can't guarantee you anything about that, ma'am."

Regarding Ioletta's inquiry, Ozwald's answer was quite candid.

"Frankly speaking, my interaction with Mr. Cyril is really limited; I only met him when he was still in his old age, we had not many conversations, and we did some trivial things... Such me, said I don't think I'm qualified to judge what such a hero believes.

However, it is recommended that Maria accept some of the contracts from the Business Federation and obtain the resources that are indispensable for the continuation of the family... In this way, without violating faith, morality, and pride, use a method that suits you to make the real The continuation of important things, I think, is also necessary. "

After all, everything must be people-oriented.

In an era that is constantly moving forward, even if we do not talk about adapting to the changing trend, if we cannot even maintain our own food and clothing, we can only usher in decline and destruction... Then such a pride is as far away from reality as a castle in the air. ], it is really difficult to set an example for others to follow. On the contrary, it will make everyone turn away from it.

As for whether this change is good or bad.

There is no way, who said that the current Linguang family really lacks a serious pillar?Otherwise, there is no need for Maria, who is only 16 years old, to worry about these livelihood things.

Of course, Ozwald did not expect Maria to be gifted at such a young age and master the ability to control the greedy jackals of the Chamber of Commerce, and skillfully drive them to earn wealth without being backlashed.

"So I am willing to let Maria use these funds to slightly improve the Linguang family's situation, and then support it for a few more years. When she is more mature, she can turn to the Supervisory Committee or fight for the Knights and Silver Spear Pegasus. These."

At this point, the expression on Ozwald's face looked somewhat helpless; with a particularly obvious hint of complaint in his voice, he said to the Grand Knight Commander again:

"Margaret, who was originally trained as an heir, has already entered the palace. With the combination of champion and glory, her reputation has increased and she has reached the peak of her career. If she hadn't been exiled, how could she have such a problem today?"

After returning to Casimir for so long, Ozwald has basically figured out the reason why Margaret was exiled.

As a classical type that is now considered a rare species in the country of knights, Margaret once fiercely opposed the commercialization of the Casimir Knights Tournament.

Originally, this was nothing. As the new champion of Casimir, she already had the right to influence the law to a certain extent, let alone Margaret or the new long knight of the Linguang family; in this dual identity, she had the right to influence the law to a certain extent. With the power coming, even if Margaret cannot stop the trend of commercialization in the end, the Business Federation will never have the slightest ability to cause any real damage to her - it is only her fault that she was accidentally infected with the ore due to an accident. sick.

Finally, under the influence of tremendous pressure, the rising star of the Linguang family was forced to leave Casimir.

Ozwald scoffed at this.

The so-called "People cannot accept an infected person as Casimir's future leader" is just an excuse to incriminate.

The reason for Margaret Linguang's retreat was always due to disagreements in the temple and criticism of this roadblock, not because she was infected with ore disease.

What's more, what if she is an infected person?

Just like Police Officer Chen of the Longmen Guards Bureau; those who hold power and resources have many ways to conceal the fact that they are infected with ore disease, and then continue to hold high positions and hold important positions.

Perhaps the upright Margaret Linguang would never choose to deceive; but as the chief of the Supervisory Committee and the Grand Knight of Casimir, Ioleta and other old friends of Cyril Linguang are also able to do so. Knight Yao himself deceived her; giving her a "normal" medical examination report to make her mistakenly believe that she was not infected.

So the red dragon couldn't understand why Ioleta was unwilling to lend a helping hand to Cyril's granddaughter in this regard.

At least that's what he would do if it were him.

"Because... what you see now is the result of me responding to my old friend's request for help."

After quietly listening to Ozwald's complaints, Ioletta answered his question in an understatement.

"Margaret Linguang has never been infected with ore disease."

Knights of the Round Table, fight to the death!Knights Major: 26 About Linguang

"Make no mistake, young red dragon; that child Margaret has never been infected with ore disease from the beginning."

It's not that [Margaret Linguang needs a false health report], but [Margaret Linguang, as a healthy and normal uninfected person, needs to forge a report of being infected with ore disease].

This is the truth about Banished Linguang that is unknown to the world.

What I want is to wait until one day, when Casimir has been lost in the prosperous night, this pegasus that explodes like a thunder will once again make [Linguang] the sun that all the people of Casimir are chasing. ; Let Casimir once again become the true country of knights known to the world.

"Although the incident at that time was indeed very dangerous, and the lack of infection was purely a fluke; but it was precisely because of this almost impossible luck that we were able to disguise the child Margaret as an infected person."

Facing Oswald's slightly widened eyes at this unexpected answer, Ioletta picked up the tea on the table and took a few sips to moisten her throat, which was always thirsty as she got older. , just then continued: "After all, she succeeded too easily and quickly, which really made us worried; so in the end, Cyril took the lead and made such a decision."

At a young age, he made his debut as an independent knight without relying on the aid of any plutocrats or families. Using the most unpretentious high-quality spears, swords and armors, he won the No. 20 Second Casimir Knights Championship in his first competition. .

With these achievements, and the trust and prestige accumulated by the Linguang family for hundreds of thousands of years, Margaret Linguang, who had already begun her official career at that time, became the youngest face in the National Council.

And youth means lack of experience and character.

It is too easy to succeed. After living a smooth life for too long, the failure will often be particularly miserable. Although Cyril has full confidence in his granddaughter, he is not afraid of ten thousand; fortunately, Simply take advantage of the atmosphere where Margaret criticized the commercialization of knights and seize the opportunity to get her away from the limelight. On the pretext of expelling the infected, let Margaret Linguang go to the wider world outside to broaden her knowledge and knowledge. Connections... It just so happens that I still have some time with my old bones, so I can help my eldest granddaughter, who is too straightforward and lacks some thought, to stabilize her career.

Of course, if Margaret, who was "infected with the ore disease", was expelled by Casimir and smoothed her edges in the turbulence of the world, mastered the way of compromise in dealing with others, and became smooth and calculating, then she would After returning to Casimir, he can perfectly succeed Ioletta Russell as the chief of the Supervisory Committee.

And if Margaret can carry out her family's ancestral motto of not fearing hardship and darkness to the end, and remain unwavering despite the wind and rain, just as she once adhered to the honor and pride of the knight; then Pegasus, who has been tempered by suffering, will become more and more tenacious. After returning to Casimir, she will use her unswerving faith that has passed the test to overthrow the rotten Business Federation and many members of the National Assembly...even the laggards, including her, the Grand Knight Commander. Inject new blood into Casimir, who is declining like Ursus, eliminate the sick and retain the good.

No matter which outcome, Cyril and Ioleta are happy to see it happen.

It's a pity that something went wrong

——In the body of Manna Linguang, who also inherited the name of Linguang and was the son of a hero.

Originally, according to Cyril and others' assumptions, after there was no news from the eldest son and daughter-in-law, and the new heir Margaret was exiled in the name of hardship, the Linguang family, which lacked long cavalry, would face a huge crisis, but as a way to save the country, A hero, the highest-ranking war knight, a descendant of the ancient Pegasus empire, plus the attention of the current Chief of the Supervisory Commission, Ioletta Russell, and all the Silver Spear Pegasus... A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, no matter what, it should be able to support a person. Ten to 20 years is the right time.

And this time is to give Margaret time to grow, become mature and powerful without being disturbed by troublesome things such as the Business Federation.

But the result was that he couldn't even persist for five short years.

Almost from the second year after the death of Cyril Linguang, it has been heading straight down the road of decline, ushering in the damn results of the family bankruptcy and the aristocratic title being banned.

Even if the entire business federation tried its best to plot this magnificent achievement, it could only be strangled in the cradle by a few silver spears and horses. However, one person did it alone.

Whenever she thought of this, Ioletta felt sincerely helpless: "Have Cyril ever thought about this? Let's put it aside for now; at least I came here because you were able to persuade that bastard with Snitz. Misjudgment.”

Saying that, Ioletta tapped Ozwald twice with her fingers in the air.

To be fair, the Grand Knight Commander really didn't expect that the red dragon in front of him could actually allow Maena, who had always resisted the competitive knights and even Casimir's official, to enter the competition.

Although the latter adopted an irrational strategy in the round of 16 against the defending champion Black Knights and withdrew from the game with a cheating stroke that was not considered cheating; but at least from that time on, Ioletta felt that Ma Enna Linguang probably had the intention to change his ideological attitude.

Of course, in a sense, Maena did change his previous attitude towards doing things, but not in the better direction that the Lord Knight Commander thought.

"I don't even know if he is involved in some kind of gambling in a place where even my eyes can't search."

The Lord Knight said this to Ozwald with great annoyance.

However, Ozwald knew that the target of this anger was not him; but in order to avoid getting into trouble, he wisely did not say that he had not changed Maena's mind at all back then, but only used physical means to make him Just stepped onto the field.

So, after playing two haha, Ozwald acted in the spirit of "Although it is my fault, I will not apologize!" 】Principle, change the topic:

"In the final analysis, it's because Snitz, who was originally the commander-in-chief, can't shoulder his responsibilities, right? I heard that he and Sister Yolanta have left Casimir for many years, and they didn't even come back when the old man died. You Where did they arrange for them to go? Ms. Ioletta."

"You can make some guesses about this, young Arthur. After all, the location of Snitz's mission is related to you to a certain extent."

"what?"

Red Dragon raised his eyebrows in surprise.Then he stared at Ioletta, trying to find any change in expression on her face that could be used to prove that it was a joke.

The result is of course needless to say.

So he had no choice but to bite his fingers and began to seriously think about where the knight captain said he was related to.

"Victoria should be eliminated first; there is absolutely no connection between the two parties; what about Ursus? Well, considering that they have long-standing grievances like Britain and France, it is not impossible..."

But the problem is precisely because of this strong grudge that is too old to be resolved; once the identity of the Linguang couple is exposed...even if there is only a little suspicion, the internal guards who rushed to smell the smell will never let it go. A target capable of destroying Casimir's solid pillars.Even if [-] people are killed by mistake, it is impossible to relax for half a second... The Emperor's Blade exists like this.

Therefore, even if there was any mission, it should not be to send Lin Guang deep into Ursus. The risk would be too great, and Casimir could not bear such a loss.

"Then Rutland... Well, it's really hard to imagine that there is any need to send Linguang to guard the place where those fun people are. It's not even a place where they are happy to preach, and it's just a territorial enclosure. It can't be said that they are stealing. As for the core technology of firearms... this thing is not easy to use without Sakota blood, right?"

Great inflammation?That's further than Sakota.

Sammy?It’s a ghost place where evil spirits wander around even when birds don’t poop.Although there is a presence in the Cyclops Royal Court, instead of tracking them, it would be better to track Tracys, the dog basket who is preparing to borrow chickens to lay eggs, and a few of his military council members.

"Then where else have I been? There's no way it's... me!"

The moment a certain concept emerged from his mind, Ozwald's eyes widened, and the expression on his face was as if he had eaten shit: "Wait a minute, it can't be Letania?!"

"uh-huh?"

Ioletta made a noncommittal twang.

"It seems that you have not forgotten your true nature as a young man who is good at [art]. But I still have to admire your attitude in giving such an object with strong symbolic meaning to Viviana."

Ioletta refers to the scepter once wielded by the Witch-King.

After all, she was born during the Battle of the Four Emperors. She had heard and experienced the terror of that crazy magician king.

Maybe after seeing Viviana once or twice, I still can’t think about it in this regard; but as time goes by, the number of times I see Viviana increases, and Viviana is the illegitimate daughter of a noble from the Leitania Tower. , the place where they met, the red dragon’s extraordinary spellcasting level when he was a boy...

So many elements are already there, but what is missing is just a playful thought divergence after dinner and when there is nothing to do; then you can start to make associations and go further, and obtain evidence and seek the truth with little difficulty. .

After all, when opportunities tend to be infinite, the results are inevitable.

"I won't tell you what the specific mission is. After all, you are not qualified to know as you are... Of course, I am referring to Lord Casimir Knight Albatarian."

"You only need to know one thing about this - the relationship between Casimir and Letania is not friendly, and in order to prevent something that may happen, we can only send Snitz Linguang and Yolan Ta Linguang asked the couple as husband and wife to go there in an unofficial name.

[Because only this couple from the legendary knight family barely has enough ability to resist the situation that may worsen]. "

"......"

Ozwald fell silent.

After all, according to some of the knowledge he had learned through history as early as last week, there are many considerations of how a country should stand in a chaotic chess game, but there is one sure thing. It is very concise and clear knowledge.

Make friends from far away and attack from close quarters.

With Ursus, a powerful enemy with war strength who can compete on the mainland, still having trouble with Letania... No matter how he thinks about it, in Ozwald's view I just feel that it is a rather unwise choice... well, just stupid!

Very stupid!

If you can't say that this is a grudge that existed long before the Four Emperors' War, then it's really hard for Little Red Dragon to agree with this approach of "a few allies and many enemies".

But it is a pity that although Oswald was willing to listen attentively to the great knight and continue to express his high opinion, Ioleta did not talk too much about the country's secrets with this outsider who would eventually leave Casimir. Xin's plan.

Now these are all because Hong Long asked him proactively and because everyone has an old relationship with Lin Guang.

So when faced with Ozwald's thirst for knowledge, Ioletta just waved her hand and dropped the topic.

"Has the round table made a decision about the participants in this major tournament?"

"Yeah. There are seven of us here participating."

Ozwald counted the numbers with his hands, and then reported the names of the people who would compete at that time.

In addition to Viviana, Sapphire (Black Knight) and Oswald, the three people who were there when it was first established; there are also the newly added Tristan, Lan Mallock, Geraint, and Lancelot .

There is no need to go into details about the first three names, and Ioletta has never heard of three of the last four names, but after seeing the performance of Geraint as Maria's temporary partner in several games, the Grand Knight Commander I preconceptionally judged that the other three people should be at the same level in this range - basically considered elites among the Silver Spear Pegasus, probably.

"To put it this way, this year's Major will be more exciting than ever; I'm looking forward to what kind of surprises you and your young rookie knights will bring me. Ozwald." with a smile on his face. , Ioletta Russell said with great anticipation.

"Don't worry, we will definitely live up to your expectations of us, Ms. Ioletta. My knights and I will definitely bring you unexpected surprises beyond your imagination."

Ozwald also smiled and answered humbly yet confidently.

However, unlike Ioletta Russell, who smiled simply because she was happy imagining a wonderful showdown; this red dragon's happiness came from the "voice" in his heart that only he could hear.

[I never said that everyone, like Geraint, is a newcomer who lacks training~~~~]

Ozwald has full self-confidence - even if he can combine the previous 22 champions with the [-]th, he can easily defeat them. This is his ultimate fish-fried lineup ()

Knights of the Round Table, fight to the death!Cavaliers Major: 27 of the best times

Generally speaking, if you want to participate in knight competitions, except for those who can participate as independent knights with a little freedom; knights formally registered in the knight association need to go to the association headquarters in person with the leader or agent, and go through The application will be completed only after detailed review and confirmation of the applicants and approval.

This is a bit troublesome for the current round table; after all, there is a high probability that a certain Sarkota, who is also one of the essential participants (fish frying), has to rush to Kavale at the tail end of the opening ceremony of the Major. Liaki.

There was no other way. Who told the lazy Red Dragon to make another trip to a sophisticated workshop in Victoria to pick up a courier to save trouble?It can only be said that it was a good thing that Ozwald knew the chief of the Supervisory Committee.

The Grand Knight Commander said that for the sake of the Linguang family, he could open such an insignificant little back door for Ozwald, who had been taking care of Maria, so that he could not even register as a member of the Knights. "Lancelot", who is far away in Victoria, can compete without hindrance.

After all, if we really look into it, even if Ioletta doesn't do this kind of thing, the final result of this year's Knight Major is already determined.
