Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

Move the pool water: 41 I can’t watch the second episode of Wave V, and I’m too lazy to name it.

"If I remember correctly, it has been almost a year since the last meeting at Longmen, right?"

At the same time that the tail wrapped around the upper cable tube was released, Ozwald adjusted his center of gravity and fell back to the ground.

Then he raised his flaming index finger and flicked it at Vina, letting the small plasma pass over her cheek as if to demonstrate.This caused clusters of flames to light up on both sides of the pipe like lanterns, bringing light to dispel the darkness.

And precisely because the pipe was illuminated, Wei Na ignored the discomfort of being in a dark environment for a long time and opened her eyes wide. She was extremely shocked to find that she was now in this secret pipe that was heading to the tomb of the Royal Victoria family. The walls were covered with a silver-gray substance at some point... From where Ozwald stood in front of him to where he came from, the endless area was covered in this color. The original cold and ancient dim tone of the mobile city base was eliminated.

——Before leaving the medical company where she had stayed for several years and returning to Victoria last year, Wei Na heard from a certain lynx that the red dragon had built a sacred royal city that was as pure and dazzling as silver.If we use this as a basis to make reasonable inferences, the silver-white areas we are currently in...the total area of ​​which is unknown must have become the property of the Red Dragon Emperor Ozwald Artolis just like that city. private domain.

Perhaps this was why they had previously noticed that there was no longer an echo in the pipes.

"...Long time no see, Ozwald."

With thousands of thoughts running through her mind, Wei Na hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth with some anxiety, returning the red dragon's previous greeting.

At this time, behind Aslan, the Grass gang members who were already unable to resist had been pushed to the ground one by one by monsters twice their size, with shapes swaying like black mist, and no longer had the strength to resist. ——However, although several people inevitably suffered certain injuries due to the physical laws of object collision during the battle, it was basically just a few small cuts from the claws and some bruises. No one was unlucky to be injured. bone.

Obviously, this is the result of the monsters deliberately keeping their hands.

And at this point, even if there are thousands of things that are difficult to understand in Vina's heart, she still has to believe that these legendary monsters with long "ears" and completely opposite reputations among the residents of Londinium and the Sakaz group will He is a servant of the emperor who takes orders from the red dragon in front of him.

Although she didn't understand where the red dragon caught and tamed these monsters that seemed to be extraordinary beings.

"They are not real living things, but are made by assimilating various substances based on trillions of machines and using local materials. They are the same as the pipes you see in front of you."

As if he was aware of the confusion that was bound to arise in the hearts of the people in front of him, Ozwald was not in a hurry to immediately question the goal he had been looking for for some time. Instead, he explained to her leisurely and elegantly:

"The image is based on a certain monster that I killed in the ice field that specializes in eating and hunting living people. It caused me a lot of suffering at the time, and it was a very difficult guy to deal with.

It just so happened that those guys chased me every day and they were annoying me to death, so I decided to give these Sarkazi brats who were beaten to death and unwilling to join normal human society, a little bit of the shock of the ice field.Let them see what it means to be an [enemy of civilization] that is truly different from human beings in the way they exist. "

Of course, these mimic creations do not have the kind of surreal power that the real Crazy Carters possess because they are the products of evil spirits and can forcibly arouse fear in human hearts. Nanomachines as technological objects cannot do it no matter how hard they try. of.

But in Ozwald's opinion, this is actually a good thing.Because the demonic power is both convenient and distinct. Judging from the long history of the Sakaz clan, Tresis, the King of Scavengers and the Shapeshifter Group (Maharaja) must be aware of their existence; this is This makes it impossible for the real evil to bring any effective panic.

So Ozwald changed his mind. After all, he had always been proud of his free mind.

The nano-creations were not allowed to exist in a solid form like when the cities of Britain were built. Instead, they were connected in a more loose and uncertain cloud and mist, and only roughly constructed an intermediate state that was both biological and non-biological.This can also appear in any narrow, unimaginable space... It doesn't even matter if there is no space, just launch the attack from the fused wall like when attacking the Glass Gang.

Through the set programs, the tiny nanomachines will make them operate when attacked by solid weapons, avoid the weapons in any range that is imperceptible to the naked eye, and appear as if they are cutting "flowing water" or even attacking "air". "Same [no effect].This expounds the sense of powerlessness felt by the Sakaz when fighting against them.

It doesn't matter even if guys like the Blood Demon take action and kill a few of them with even greater power.What highlights the proliferability of nanomachines is that they can be replenished by simply assimilating Sarkaz's corpse or inorganic matter elsewhere.

——In the novel that Ozwald borrowed from a classmate in junior high school last week and later bought himself, a certain seal-designated puppet master with the title of Red of Pain once said that there are three major monsters. law.

[First, monsters that attack humans cannot speak.Second, the monster must not figure out what it is until the end.Third, the monster must be immortal. ]

In this way, like now, one can see the form but does not understand its true meaning. The emotion caused by facing the "unkillable" monster with only a half-knowledge is the purest sense of fear unique to intelligent creatures.

In addition to the quality of the [monster] itself, Ozwald also paid great attention to the details of the action strategy.

Through a method similar to eleven killings, a limited number of but completely random hunts are carried out in the Sakaz group to continuously exert pressure; and occasionally, through observation for a certain period of time, the nanomachines create the uncanny valley of the specious appearance of the deceased. The effect... can be an effective blow to their morale.

"Isn't it just that he, a bloodthirsty demon, doesn't talk nonsense all the time [Don't judge him based on normal people's civilized ideas, otherwise it will be the most terrifying slander for him]? Then I want to see what this stupid dog is being I used the psychology from the summary of civilization to beat Hongru's subordinate Ma Zai hard. The progress of the project was dragging him down as if he was rushing to reincarnate. When he was running around catching rabbits and whacking moles, could he put it aside anymore? I’m so scummy! Humph!!”

Ozwald said this to Vina in front of him.

He has already thought about it. After a while, he will install a giant god code on the nanomachines. Once the Blood Demon is lured out, he will blow it up into the sky and intercept the shameful moment, and then report it to the whole of Lundinium and even All in Terra!Ah, civilized people will kill the demons in seconds!A must second! !

Turning the Pool: 42 An Invitation That Cannot Be Rejected

"Among the people on the other side, in my opinion, the Blood Demon guy is the one who knows the least about it, you know? Metatron told me about this. I used to think that he was just hacking people out with colored glasses. The reason is that after doing this for a long time, I still haven’t unjustly accused this hairy guy, hum! Sure enough, flies don’t bite seamless eggs!”

"Relying on the fact that I have some strength, every time I meet, I know what to say that Victoria people are not worth mentioning, and I make it look like it's true, but so what? I can beat the crap out of you! Come out and fool around. , What you want is power, what you want is background~~~ What about him? Can he have a hundred people under his command in total? At this level, in the final analysis, he is just a little loser!"

"I tell you, Vina, sooner or later, one day, I will nail that pretentious guy like Blood Demon to the pillar of shame in history, and severely, ah, torture him! Lock him in a cage, with some kind of sign hanging on it. My tour of Britain!”

The red dragon told Aslan in front of him about the trivial things he had encountered since his solo raid on Victoria, and told others about the difficulties caused by the encirclement of the kings.And the words he uses are like chatting with friends after tea and dinner, which makes people laugh and is extremely humorous.

It's just that the happier he is in his mood and the more easy-going his tone of voice is, the more it supports the living environment of the surrounding environment where the few people are currently living, the silver-gray walls that are crawling like life, and the imitation "" that suppresses the Glass Gang. "Long-eared" creations... have an increasingly huge absurd contrast.

Therefore, no matter how Oswald seemed to be talking easily, Vina in front of him remained silent, tensing up her nerves with her pounding heartbeat that was about to jump out of her chest, not daring to say anything. of laxity.

After all, if Oswald Artolis just wanted to chat with him about his plans and interesting stories about fellow Victorians fighting Sakaz based on the feeling of meeting again after a long separation, then there was no need for him to block all sounds and voices first. Possible means of leaking information and then releasing the creations he calls "technology" to attack the Glass Gang.

And if he was limited to preventing the naive fools from relying on numbers to show their power, then after showing the initial threat of force, he should not have allowed those creatures to maintain the suppression of the Glass Gang until now. A person is comparable to a prisoner under the rank - hidden in those seemingly casual words is the Dragon Emperor's sharp and hawk-like scrutiny that has never left him since he appeared.

This feeling of sitting on pins and needles, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, whose life and death are controlled by others, really makes it difficult for Vina to really regard Oswald's words as real gossip or reminiscing about the past.

She started to regret it a little.

If there was a chance to do it again, Wei Na, who knew that she would encounter the red dragon in such a sensitive area, would never let her three friends embark on this path to the origin of Victoria... Perhaps the dilemma would still be unavoidable by then, but that way at least when the worst happened, she would be the only one who died here.

But fortunately, at this moment, the red dragon's heart was more filled with the existence called [Question] than the desire to kill.

"——Speaking of which, Alexandrina, you seem to have been in a lot of limelight recently? You have repeatedly foiled the plots of General Manfred of Sarkaz who oppressed the people of Londinium to build the Shard, and even used Explosive bombs injured members of the royal court several times through ambushes... Tsk, tsk, tsk, awesome!"

He took out a newspaper he had prepared from his pocket and flicked the front page of the extremely eye-catching statement in which the Speaker of Parliament denounced "terrorists". Ozwald asked Vina with interest: "What do you think would be a better name for the bomb maker to apply for a patent? How about Ozwald?"

really!

However, she had already analyzed that the Sarkarz people's plan to push her to the forefront in such an overt and covert way was just to provoke conflicts, but when the other party who was "provoked" came to question her. When she heard the red dragon's words, Wei Na couldn't help but trembled in her heart, and hurriedly spoke:

"I did have a few conflicts with Sakaz, but those were just because I was trapped in Londinium and couldn't leave, and I was forced to protect myself after the encounter. Other than that, most of them These are all remarks made by Tracys who have the right to speak. He just wants to use this to provoke conflicts between you and me, or between you and other nobles--"

"——Don't worry, I know this..."

Ozwald interrupted Vina's defense, but not because he didn't trust the other party.

He was not a fool, and of course he could see why Traces suddenly started to publicize the news related to Vina, and to strengthen the impression of Crown Prince Aslan in the hearts of Londinium and even the people of Victoria. What was his purpose.

After all, even if Aslan's crown prince really forgot the agreement they made during the Qicheng incident, and developed ambitions that he shouldn't have in more than a "long" year, then at least there should be The prerequisite is the support of die-hard Aslan supporters such as the Earl of White Wolf and the Duke of Cumberland.

Or no matter how bad it is, it still has to be as good as that guy from Abrana, right?Otherwise, Glass will help this big kitten remember four of them, and take turns buying breakfast every day, which is still short of three for a week - well, I don't mind the pressure on my neck that is too taxing, so I just plan to use this Opportunities come lightly and easily, and you arrive at the end of the long road of life early, right? !

Therefore, what Tracy is doing is not so much provoking the conflict between the red dragon and Aslan, but rather provoking the group of careerists who have a sneak peek at power; by allowing these people to pretend to be confused, opportunity, a way to raise another flag of Victoria's righteousness, and Britain, ruled by the red dragon, began to compete for Victoria.This is used to kill energy and delay time.

This technique is not too clever, but it highlights the idea that those who are willing to take the bait will get it themselves.

But again, it is possible for people in high positions to be fools, but it is impossible to be fools.

Even if we really want to fight for power, we must first eliminate the Sakaz who are entrenched in Londinium to avoid the possibility of being missed by this group of demons who are unwilling to join mainstream society and eliminate the weakest one. The competitor said later.Besides, using this method that is widely recognized by the world to gain some reputation will also help to compete for the right to speak among the people in the future, right?

On the other hand, whether Tracys had high hopes for this, or he just made a casual move... Putting aside these things for the time being, Ozwald, who was only the parrying party, also It's not that it can't be stopped.

The prerequisite for "putting on a yellow robe and setting up a new mountain" is that there is a person who can put on the yellow robe and the time for his name to spread.

It just so happens that the red dragon is also in Londinium now. As long as he can find Wei Na at the forefront of the storm in time; then no matter whether he uses any peaceful or non-peaceful method, by taking her away from the center of this incident, causing Those who have deep thoughts lose their goals, and everything will naturally drift away in the wind like rootless duckweeds.

Of course, with the character of Red Dragon, he is more inclined to solve the problem in a peaceful way that is good for everyone.

But today's sudden encounter made the red dragon, who had already made up his mind, frown again.

——After all, Alexandrina Victoria, Aslan’s counterpart to Drake and sharing Victoria’s royal power, was also the only daughter of the previous emperor; Ozwald believed that she must know!Know what lies at the end of the road we are all on now.

That being the case...

"It is not an emergency escape from being chased by Sakaz to a desperate situation, but you are able to come here in a relatively stable state. I can regard it as having had a fierce ideological struggle before this, and based on this thinking We finally made this decision, is that okay?”

"…so to speak. Ozwald Artolis."

Taking a deep breath of the somewhat hot air, Vina suppressed the uneasiness and wavering in her heart, looked at Ozwald in front of her with her head held high, and said seriously: "I want to go to the King's Tomb and bring all the kings together." Bring the national sword of Breath out from there, because Victoria needs it now."

“very well~~”

The sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and a rather playful and thought-provoking happy smile appeared on the red dragon's face.

A huge, oppressive force as heavy as the overturning of the sky erupted from the Dragon Emperor's body, but it only lasted for a short moment and then dissipated.

"I'm not in a hurry to ask you such unnecessary questions as why you asked for the Breath of Kings. Vina."

Calling each other affectionately for the first time since they met, Ozwald took a deep look at Aslan in front of him, and then waved his right hand.

This action caused the creation that originally suppressed Dagda and the others to loosen its confinement and return to its basic form and return to its original position.

At the same time, the nano-metals on the left and right sides that had been assimilated to the original wall position also began to vibrate in a more powerful state, just like the sushi placed on the revolving belt for customers to choose from in a high-end restaurant in Dongguo. There are many supplies transported in the storage room.

Dry cheese, fruits and vegetables, bacon, sausages, chocolates, biscuits... enough food for a small banquet is spread on the walls of the passage, and there are even more than a dozen bottles of wine stored in the Victoria Palace.

"Except for the drinks that I brought here for a leisurely drink, these are basically the thank-you gifts given by the residents of each district when my constructs hunted Sakaz. You may or may not have heard of these legends. It doesn't matter.

And seeing that the women of the Glass Gang have been fighting bravely against the Sakaz who have seized our home, they will not mind offering food as a token of their gratitude to provide a resting place for three such brave and righteous ladies. Use; I also hope that everyone will not disappoint the expectations of the people of Londinium and continue to defeat the enemy in the future. "

After sending an apologetic look to Vina for being temporarily unavailable, the last king of the Drake family spoke enthusiastically to the three films, praising their achievements so far without hesitation.Even if they immediately retreated vigilantly after being released from control, or moved forward to grab Weina and escape.

The nanomachines followed his will and built independent seats and dining tables in front of and behind Indra, Morgan, and Dagda, making Crown Prince Aslan's followers understandable in a way that would never allow anyone to refuse. Be seated immediately.

"Everyone who is exhausted physically and mentally, please take a good rest during this period... You're welcome."

He said word by word.

"As for the journey to the royal mausoleum (power) from now on, it is the fate of only two successors."

Stirring the Pool Water: 43 Comments, How do you get in if you don’t have a key?

After passing through the last section of the long, narrow and deep corridor, with a sudden sense of space, the resting places of all the kings of Victoria can be seen.

The ancient and huge door spans the underground space, and there is no sound except the breathing of everyone.

——Yes, that’s how it should be.In the tombs of kings where death is thick, there should be absolute silence.

But... something seems to be echoing in this space.

Is that the murmur of waking up from a dream, or the moan of exhaustion?

They are watching themselves.

"Victoria" is watching her.

When Aslan's crown prince felt this clearly, a kind of irritability arose in her heart.

What are they expecting?What kind of future are they envisioning for themselves?

She had long been tired of being chased by these "shadows of the past"; just as she had also ignored the call of the creature with a mane like gold for a long time.

Ever since she left the palace, ever since she lived on the streets; during those noisy and peaceful days of keeping warm with everyone in the Glass Gang, Alexandrina had almost forgotten many, many things... She also thought that she would completely bid farewell to the cumbersome and heavy past.

However, today proved that this was just her naive fantasy.

Many things have already been determined.

From the moment she was born, from the day she went to play without telling her father, who was discussing business in the Duke of Cumberland's garden, from the day she held the sword of state in her chubby little childish hands and was called Gawain. Since that "person" has been brought into the national horizon with much attention——

So at this moment they are urging and telling.

As if trying to convey some words of hope or despair, those sounds gave her a splitting headache. She subconsciously pressed her temples with her hands and gritted her teeth.

Wei Na couldn't tell whether these sounds were just real phenomena or just an illusion caused by her emotions, but perhaps the former was more likely.

This is not unreasonable

Before leaving Rhode Island, Wei Na read the identity information that Ozwald had left behind regarding the need for cooperation funds. Among them was Red Dragon's description of a certain "voice"... This couldn't help but It makes people think; as Victoria's heir, can he hear this dreamlike voice like himself?Is the echo in his mind the truth he can hear?

Thinking of this, Crown Prince Aslan couldn't help but put his eyes on the other party.

However, it is regrettable that Ozwald only looked at Vina with interest, covering her head with her hand and looking embarrassed, and that was all. Then he quickly moved his gaze to the front of the huge door of the Royal Tomb. On the scene, a whistle was blown.

——Blood stains.The winding blood trail crawled all the way to the crack in the door at the end of the road, or it crawled out from behind the huge door.

They have long since dried up, leaving only dark red twisted stains covering the broken masonry.

Also covered were damaged arrowheads, fragments of swords, and deep pits left by spell bombardment.

There are also some more huge marks, like scars that can tear apart the silence here, exposed on the sacred door.

Although not a single body was left nearby, anyone who has experienced the battlefield can easily imagine what happened here.

"Sarkaz?"

Also seeing these dark red scabs, Vina walked up to Ozwald and asked in a statement.

"A very normal result. Whether Sarkaz is out of banditry or because of longer-term political plans... there is no reason for them not to do anything about the legends and historical facts that all Londinium people know. Order something.”

Ozwald made a few casual guesses and was not very interested in delving into the truth of that year.

He just rubbed his hands enthusiastically at the fire or physical scars scattered all over the Vajra Gate, admiring how much effort the craftsmen who built it had put into it to finally make it so solid and reliable that it could hold everything together. The disturbances of those who came after us were completely isolated, allowing the kings to enjoy a peaceful utopia.

There are only two keys that can open this place.

One belongs to Drac and one belongs to Aslan.
