Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

The structural layer and surface layer are constantly being reshaped, causing the entire city that was originally stable to become an unstable sand mass at this moment. Silver mist swirls in the air like a storm. However, when it curls up and When I came, I couldn't feel the "wind" blowing, but just blew by my face.

At the far end of sight, as far as the human eye can reach, one can see silvery white mist sweeping up like a tornado, blending into strange geometric shapes in mid-air, and the light looming in it is reflected This scene gives it a somewhat majestic and ethereal beauty.

But when the Knights of the Round Table, the Red Dragon Sergeant, and especially the Snow Monster team, except for the Red Dragon, were all amazed and talking about the unreasonable scene in front of them, a wind-like mist passed over everyone's heads. Falling behind them, the condensed structure was solid... When the nearest snow monster was still immersed in "Wow, my eldest brother's work is always new and good" and failed to react in time, he felt that he Someone patted me on the back.

The little snow monster subconsciously turned around and saw the silver-white frost star standing behind him with its brilliance flowing. There was no trace of tenderness in his fierce eyes, as if a tiger would pounce on him and devour him alive in the next second... ...The snow monster was so frightened that he immediately screamed and almost jumped up - but before he could react, the 'frost star' exploded into a ball, and then stared at the structure like a tornado, and finally transformed into Having done what their sole owner, both as a whole and as individuals, wanted in their hearts at the moment...a phone booth.

"But it seems that these new weaklings have no time to appreciate your kindness, sir." Silver-gray gravel surged up on the ground and formed a figure with long black hair and eyes, dressed differently from the current one. Nowadays, women in national costumes, after admiring the expressions on people's faces with a smile, said to the Dragon King next to them: "Of course, I am also looking forward to what you, sir, who is also seeing them for the first time, can show. It’s just that the result is really regrettable for Ai.”

"Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself; I have achieved this state 30 years ago! Otherwise, how could we dare to claim to be the freest soul in Terra? Precious."

As Ozwald spoke, he reached out and took the Dragon Scale Sword that slowly rose from the squirming ground.

Behind these two people, the Rhode Island industry that was the source of the storm had long since disappeared - instead, it was swallowing up the ark ship that represented the pre-civilization, using the keel of its true body as the base point, and constantly devouring it. The tower continues to expand, rotate, and spiral up according to the land.

“Although it is still too early to be truly completed, please allow me to say this in advance——

Welcome, my knights and followers, to the Tower of Babel where human wisdom ascends the throne of God. "

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

[——People, for a long time, you have always been afraid of patients with Originium disease, denounced them as the embodiment of disaster, and feared that they would one day be seriously ill but unable to receive treatment. Because this disease has become a bomb of flesh and blood, it has spread this plague to a wider area, making innocent people also suffer from the disease. I can understand the fear in your hearts. After all, this has been the case since ancient times. , from the time you ignorantly opened your eyes, the fathers and teachers around you taught you the universal creed. ]

[But I once read an article written by a person with great talent. In that short but thought-provoking pen and ink, there was such a question-"Is it right since ancient times"?I think, maybe not really? ]

[Indeed, diseases that harm our bodies, take away our lives, cause pain, and are easily contagious are terrible.

Yes!It is not these [sick people] who deserve to be guarded and expelled, but the [fear] aroused in our hearts by their existence and the illusion created by the current of thoughts in the brain - the only people in this world worthy of us What is fearful is fear itself. ]

[I implore you to put down what you are doing for the time being and take a few breaths to take a look around you... With the development of civilization and the advancement of science and technology to this day, we use various sources powered by Origin Stone to refine the impurity. Material is used as energy in daily life; it is used as a skill for us to fight and live; it is so close to us, how can we expel and give up?

And it is precisely because it is so inseparable from us that the ore disease can be infected regardless of race or status... When fate comes, even a red dragon like me cannot escape, In this regard, there is no difference between the people of God and everyone else]

[So, think about it, people; for us who have to work hard every day to obtain the materials needed for tomorrow's survival, and for the environment where the existence of this Source Stone has already spread to all aspects... who Can you guarantee that you will never become a disease because of such a small negligence, just a small wound, and become the monster you saw in your eyes and criticized by others?Hear from the mouth of your beloved wife, children, husband, and parents, perhaps you have also uttered hundreds of thousands of variations in your own mouth, and it is extremely familiar, "Get out! You despicable infected person"? ]

[Think seriously here, friends; [I hope my family can be happy], [I want to live a better life] [Give my child who will be born a shelter where he no longer has to endure wind and rain]... ...For these ordinary people who have ardent dreams, who can still have expectations and work diligently even if the current situation is bad, just because of accidental fate, decades of hard work have become a dream, and everything is in vain. All the efforts turned into running water.Being abandoned by your family, being alienated by your friends, being chased by your neighbors...can you really accept such a result and fate of having nothing at all with peace of mind? ]

[Just like the old man named Bodro Kasti standing next to me.He had done his duty for the country he loved deeply, shed his blood on hellish battlefields, gone deep into the eternal frozen soil outside of civilization to fight against monsters with thousands of eyes and feet... and gave all his passion to himself. His homeland - but just because he was infected with the ore disease, the laws of Ursus regarded him as a pest. Even if he made great military exploits, he could not gain a foothold in the capital;... Even he watched as he learned the language. The legitimate children who grew up little by little died in front of their eyes because of this sad prejudice and harsh rules; when everything was wasted and regretted, they had become monsters and poison in the eyes of the people who once shed blood to protect them... Expelled from the land where he dedicated his life.

Do you also hope to have that kind of result?Do you also hope that one day you will devote your passion and love and dedicate everything to the country, but you will only get this kind of future?Can you imagine the emptiness and despair in that moment?Can you understand the pain when decades of hard work and dedication go up in smoke in the blink of an eye? ]

[I do not want to exaggerate the dangers of ore disease, because it can cause pain, death, and even terminal illness to those affected. This is a fact that cannot be ignored.

So I don’t expect each of you to accept their existence, but I still hope that you can understand. That’s why I tell you here - the tolerance I am now giving to these poor and disadvantaged people is to express my gratitude to them. The relief provided by yourself who may suffer misfortune in the future; the small kindness you maintain based on kindness now may be a blessing from harm to yourself who will be tricked by fate ten years later.

The future is always born from the past.Good and bad are always closely related.

It is the seeds that are sown today that will reap the sweet fruits tomorrow. ]

[——It is true that mineral sickness is dangerous, but for this reason, we must not be blindly afraid of it and need to take an objective look at it; by maintaining drug containment and following planned and organized management and restrictions, it will Just like other diseases that may plague us in our daily lives, there is no difference. ]

[No one should be given up, and no one wants to be left behind; I firmly believe this.In my (Red Dragon) eyes, no matter you are old, weak, sick, young, infected, non-infected, other races...everything is the same.This is my creed, and it is also my promise... I firmly believe that when you and I from all over the world can sit around the round table, the beer we drink together after forgetting our worries must be the most delicious. ]

[——Mortals in this world only seek peace in their entire lives, and those who gather beside the red dragon with a common wish will surely enjoy the same tranquility in the shadow of its spread wings. ]

"——Welcome, travelers who are hurt by the shackles of the world but still unwilling to give up hope and stick to the virtues of being born...Welcome to Britain! Even if you are just temporarily here, I wish you will find it. The land of Eden in dreams.

However, I still sincerely hope that this white city can become a fertile ground for tired you to live and work in peace and contentment. "

ps: I don’t know if you have noticed it or not, but in addition to making the core setting around the allusion of "Tower of Babel", my Rhodes Island originally tended to play with nanomachines of a gag nature in the Kazdaele Civil War chapter. It’s also for the purpose of debuting here. The prototype is of course the Gray Wind of the Stars (hehe), so some of the ideas you came up with are theoretically possible~~~

ps2: After much thought, I decided to start the Victoria chapter directly from Chapter 9. After all, I re-watched the plot of the folded-eared cat. In fact, it is quite unitary. In addition, the group of people in Eagle Point are rushing to reincarnate. The ultra-short timeline of the forced nesting together is really difficult for me to insert in terms of rationality - not even the strongest dragon that is feared by gods can sprint to Carraton, a city in southern Victoria, to save a kitten. , and then rushed to Xiaoqiao County within seven days, and then in less than a month, rushed to Londinium and the head of the Trasisi Committee of the Kazdaile Military School and severely chopped off his head. It’s really too stupid, so I just pinched it()

Turn the water in the pool: 1 Xiaoqiu County

Xiaoqiu County, formerly known as the Tara area, was originally the territory under the rule of King Gael of the Drak tribe. Except for the Vaifan followers around Drak, the majority of the people in this area are Tara people.

When the ancient Red Dragon Kingdom was defeated by the Lion, Victoria, the new united kingdom, built a medium-sized mobile city here, which is now Xiaoqiu County.It is moderately far from the capital Londinium and close to Connor County. Agriculture and light industry are the pillar industries, but the connection with the surrounding counties is not close. In addition, it was once private property of the Gaelic King's Red Dragon clan, so it is in the Dragon River. The group of extinct heirs is no longer under the rule of the great nobles.

Most importantly, due to the high proportion of Tara residents in the area and the discriminatory policies that have continued for a long time, the Tara area has become increasingly alienated from Victoria.

Because of this, it is an excellent breeding ground for undercurrents.

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

5:35 PM.

As the sun sets, the non-dazzling light spreads over the land of the mobile city like golden streaks. People who have worked for a day drag their tired bodies away from the place that they don’t like very much but want to make a living. But he had to step into the factory.

Part of them will guess that when they return home and open the door, they will be greeted by the familiar smell of a babbling child or a beautiful wife. Such simple happiness belongs to someone who has already married and established a family.

And for the larger number of people who are wandering outside their hometowns, coming here to seek livelihood or for official business changes, a large number of them will choose to go to a place that can provide simple accommodation rather than the somewhat cold and narrow huts. In a casual bar, eating cheap and filling fish and chips, or even ordering a glass of fragrant ale, chatting about the world, current affairs and ancient history with fellow travelers who don't even need to know their names... This is also a good idea. It can be regarded as a rare and pleasant time.

Of course, there are many examples of people becoming more and more excited as they drink cup after cup of wine, and the conversation becomes too speculative due to the influence of alcohol.

"Just, at the end of last year, I sat on that airship, along with two brothers and a few heroes who were close to each other. We flew to the mansion of that idiot surnamed Wei and parachuted into it... Well, Airborne!... Understand, just airborne, airborne... put a rope, it will slide...'

'We parachuted down. '

'Then that Wei Laoer came with that stinky fish and rotten shrimp that didn't dare to show his face, and beat me, ah, beat me (burp), beat us... bad... for everything!That's what I do, just dodge to the left, dodge to the right... I'll hit him to death... and then I'll hit him, you know?Just hit him!Kick him in the middle! &%*￥&* (fuzzy and difficult to distinguish sticky sound)...'

"I'm going to take that mansion, Wei Lao Er's foot-picking five... just, use it, uh, to make money (burp). I'm going to make Wei Lao Er's 2 minutes in 2 minutes, 4 minutes There is no money that can be made. Then, use it to make money, you know. My operations cannot be learned in a year by the Guards Bureau. "

"They can't learn, understand? You don't understand either. If you understood, you wouldn't be in this segment... We have done big things a long time ago, we are doing big things! Man!!"

It really fits the thinking circuit of a drunkard who is unscrupulous and unbridled at the same time, like an antelope hanging its horns.

This also made the blond Luper woman, who was still pricking up her ears and almost unwilling to let go of any gossip, smiled bitterly and shook her head.

Now the commander of the second detachment of the Victoria Storm Commandos, Lieutenant Bugle, who had just received an order from his superiors to be stationed here, felt a sense of humor that he had to seek medical treatment in a hurry for even having the idea of ​​finding clues in such a place. Keep laughing at yourself.

But that doesn't work either.

Because just two months ago, a large number of illegal source stone products were stolen from the military transportation route, and finally disappeared in the Xiaoqiu County area... And it is far more than that, the surrounding counties have also been stolen in the near future. Reports of a batch of stolen Origin Stone products came one after another... As the saying goes, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.

Perhaps not every theft case can reach the scale of that military transport, but when these totals are added up, it is enough to reach a total that cannot be ignored - after calculation by specialized personnel, the total is enough to arm the army. Build an army capable of taking down a small mobile town, or blow up the very fabric that holds a mobile city together.

Ordinary thieves would never dare to do such a thing, because first of all, the risk cost is too high, and secondly, it is difficult to obtain profits; such a large amount of Victoria military supplies is not to be sold in Victoria. , even the largest Sargon black market protected by Colombia does not have the courage to provide trading channels...private arms dealers who earn local intermediate modification fees do not have the appetite and courage even more.

Therefore, the only one who dares to hold these things and avoid the military's spies is a well-trained force that is well versed in the military's operating modes.

【ghost】

This is the current temporary name for it, derived from its pattern of coming and going without a trace.

And for such a terrorist organization that does not even have an official name, in the past six months, Londinium has received reports from more than ten counties; hundreds of murders, robberies, and sabotage cases have been recorded; but After each crime, they would quickly disappear, and all relevant personnel who had seen their shadows were assassinated before the investigation team came into contact.

Therefore, it took a lot of effort to get the information that the stolen items had been quietly sent to a warehouse in Xiaoqiu County during the night.

But when members of the Second Stormtrooper Squad arrived and inspected the warehouse, what they saw in front of them was a large amount of "normal" accumulation of potatoes and other food, with no trace of any Origin Stone products...

As if everything was just a farce.

If the instrument hadn't detected some debris that couldn't even scratch the human body and cause infection.

On the contrary, this can be a strong proof that the army that looks like a ghost in the legend is in Xiaoqiu County at this moment.

So she had to catch those guys.

Before they do something even more horrific.

For Victoria, and for the lives of every innocent Victorian, she will fight desperately, destroying all obstacles like a storm until the last drop of blood is shed.

Rita Scamandros is out to prove that she's different from everyone else in the family!

Digging the water in the pool: 2 Visiting distant relatives

The hibernating mountains drag their tall chimneys,

The tracks pull my home crunching and running

I found an acorn in the gutter, next to a rusty rivet

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

Jane Willow, who was born as a guard of honor, has free time on weekdays, because unless it is an important event or ceremony promotion, the superior will always forget her existence, so this also makes her develop a personality different from that of most Victorias. The living habits of soldiers-enjoy a delicious breakfast made by yourself.

Every morning, the first thing I do after getting up is to take down the blue and yellow flag with the Victoria emblem embroidered on it from the shelf.

While waiting for the flour to ferment and the coffee to brew, Jane Willow would iron out the wrinkles on the flag bit by bit.

After baking the shortbread, you have to rinse off the flour on your body and finish today's washing; and because it takes time for your hair to dry naturally, this is a good time to maintain the flagpole and make it shine like brand new.

On a perfect morning, everything must be radiant, so as to bring happiness to herself and those around her - this is her life creed.

And when she was preparing the food to be given to Rita and Fiona, their comrades in Stormtrooper Squadron [-], Jane Willow smelled some fragrant smell in the air.

It smells like baked apple pie.The girl with her nose twitching slightly guessed as she followed the source of the smell to the half-open window.

After just a few random glances, Jane Willow found her target.

It was a Waifan (?) man wearing a gray waterproof leather windbreaker with white hair and huge horns. He was sitting on a bench not far away eating a portion that had just been baked and was still steaming. apple pie.

Probably because the taste of the apple pie in his hand made him feel very satisfied. In addition to squinting his eyes happily and showing an expression of enjoyment, the long tail covered with black scales behind him was swaying gently, and from time to time. It will bend twice...it looks like it is really delicious.

"How about asking this gentleman where he bought it? I'll buy some later and try it with everyone."

Seeing him eating happily, Jane Willow seriously thought about the feasibility of this plan.

But perhaps it was because the other party was too keen. Just when the girl was still hesitant to do so, he had already noticed the eyes staring at him and looked over.

Also because of their gaze, Jane Willow could clearly see the red eyes of the white-haired Vaifan, like two bright gems, exuding a radiant look that was not inferior to the sunlight——

[This is a person who enjoys every minute of life, lives a fulfilling and happy life, and always looks forward to the sun rising tomorrow]

Anyone would think so after seeing his eyes, and Jane Willow was no exception at this moment.

But no matter how you say it, the act of staring at others while eating is reckless, especially after being discovered by the other party, it is really embarrassing.

"Together?" Not bothering about Jane Willow's rude behavior, the white-haired and red-eyed Vaifan used his tail to hold up several other fragrances that were blocked by his body, making Jane Willow's side of the view invisible. The overflowing paper box: "I bought several copies. Is it okay to share one with you? Beautiful lady."

"Huh? Well...thank you for your kindness, sir."

Jane Willow, who didn't expect him to be so generous, blinked. She wanted to refuse but couldn't bear to let down the other party's kindness. So after thinking about it for a while, she proposed a compromise plan: "Let's do this! Sir, if If you are enjoying breakfast, then I happen to have some shortbread that is being baked here. If you want to add it, it will definitely make this breakfast richer. What do you think?"

"Wow? That seems pretty good~~~"

"In this case, sir, please wait for me for a moment!"

Jane Willow happily clapped her fingertips, and immediately left the window and turned back to the house. She carefully took out the baked butter shortbread from the oven and placed it on a plate.Then she took out the tea that her father had just sent from her hometown, brewed a pot, and then walked steadily out of the house with the shortbread from before.

Surprisingly, a small low table and stool appeared in front of the white-haired Vaifan(?).I don’t know where he came from, or maybe he borrowed it from a nearby store while Jane Willow was preparing things?

Perhaps this is what he said while blinking, a small trick is not worth too much difference.

After all, no matter what, enjoying a delicious breakfast is the most important thing~~

Of course, while she was immersed in the deliciousness of apple pie and butter shortbread, Jane Willow did not forget to ask the gentleman whom she met by chance in front of her which store the apple pie came from, so that she could put this past. Delicious meals shared with fellow Stormtroopers.

"It's just a self-employed business, and I only started selling it today, so I don't have a store." The white-haired Vaifan (?) smiled and said the answer that surprised Jane Willow: "It's a coincidence. That lady lives near here, as does Miss Janey."

"Then...is she like this? And there is a child at home who is always holding a ball? Mr. Oz."

Jane Willow, who briefly exchanged names with the other party, described the appearance of a certain woman nearby.

She remembered that the lady would sell apples in the alleys of the nearby [-]th District every morning at dawn, and she had also bought them... The apples tasted very good, although the texture was not that crisp, but they were still very delicious. Sweet, suitable for making puree and spreading on bread.

"Ah, yes! That's the one." The man nodded affirmatively: "As far as I know, that lady's husband died of ore disease six months ago. I think it's not easy for her to raise the child alone. Just a few days ago, When Tian was buying apples, he suggested to her that she should try to expand her product range, and then used her one-year membership fee to help her build a simple baking cart, which was just completed last night.

So theoretically speaking, these are my first products, Wu~~This is called the so-called first-come-first-served~~~"

"You are a very kind person, sir." Looking at the other person's side face, Jane Willow said while holding the tea cup, her voice was not loud, but it came from the heart.

Although she had not understood it before, she now understood through the summary from the person in front of her that the life of that family should be relatively tight... A small grill might not be able to completely change it, but at least it would increase it. Channels can bring about some improvements.

So Jane Willow felt lucky for her and her children, and hoped that they could live a happier life.

After all, everyone obviously lives in this country called Victoria, so [Victorians] are the right ones...

"But, having said that, Mr. Oz, judging from your accent, it doesn't seem like you are a native of Xiaoqiu County?"

"Well, I was born in Londinium; but I left when I was very young and grew up somewhere else."

"Is this because of work?" Jane Willow asked curiously in the chat.

"It's partly due to work, but the main thing is to visit relatives. I have two relatives here. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and I happened to hear that they were going to do something, so I came over to see if they were in trouble. If so, I can still give them a little help...but I don’t actually have their contact information, so I can only find them."

"What do you think? Beautiful ladies, if I can find them, how will they respond to me? Will they welcome me?"

With a chuckle, Ozwald stretched out his left hand. Some silvery white mist floated out from the sleeves and robes like overflow, and adhered to the slightly bent fingertips, gradually condensing, but constantly changing.

Sometimes it turns into a butterfly with colorful wings, sometimes it turns into a dexterous flying bird...

Finally, a black animal with four legs and two wings and scaly horns folded its membrane wings and let out a low cry with incomprehensible emotions.
