Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

The key belonging to Aslan's royal family can also open the door in front of him.This was supposed to be given to her by Venana's father, the last emperor of Victoria, but so far she has never seen the key.

"Why did you come here without the key?" Ozwald looked at Vina strangely: "And how did you steal it when you were a child?"

"That's why I came here...Forget it, I admit that this is somewhat unrealistic."

In fact, I had looked around when I came here, thinking that I could still see some golden figures here, but it turned out to be just an extravagant hope.Vina sighed, and without further argument, she directly offered her hand to Ozwald.

Unlike myself, the [Princess] and [Crown Prince] of the Aslan clan, who lived in anonymity until she was living in Londinium, and had no time to rise to the throne; Ozwald was led at the Victoria New Year Ceremony more than 20 years ago. He made an appearance in the palace and declared solemnly that he would inherit the name of Artoris and be the last Lord Drac.

Thinking about it, he should have the key to the royal tomb from the Red Dragon Clan.

But what Weena never expected was that Oswald actually spread his hands and said a reply that stunned the former:

"Yes! But I didn't bring it!!"

"what?!"

"It means that I have this key, but I gave it to the girl as a gift to make her happy!"

Ozwald said confidently.

After all, the person responsible for keeping the key was Edward, and he died in Longmen after sworn sworn sworn relationship with Wei Yanwu, that silly dog, leaving the key in Wei Yanwu's hands.

And although Ozwald had taken it back from Wei Yanwu after the Qicheng incident, it was precisely because of these past episodes that some... subtle "chemical reactions" occurred.

This key, while serving as the key for the Drak family to open the tombs of the kings of Victoria, can also be regarded as one of the two last traces left by Edward Atrias in this world; it became Tallulah ·Atrias’s relics to the [father] who left forever before he was born and has never seen each other—compared to the astronomical financial compensation given by Wei Yanwu, the governor of Longmen, this It is the comfort, emotional and spiritual sustenance that can really make Dragon Girl feel some waves in her heart.

Therefore, Ozwald never intended to take it back since he gave it to Tallulah, and treated it as if he had forgotten it.

"So, if we don't have both keys, how can we enter?" Vina, who didn't know the whole story, asked a little tiredly at this moment: "Are we going to break the door like those Sakaz? As Ah Slan, Drac, destroy the peaceful place that belongs to our ancestors?"

Digging the Pool: 44 Shattering Destiny

"It's not impossible, but it's not necessary."

Ozwald shrugged his shoulders at Vina's proposed attack strategy.

It is true that the gate of the royal mausoleum was built beyond imagination and even made the Sakaz invaders who wanted to break into this place many years ago helpless. However, the ancient Sakaz kings recognized it as unparalleled for thousands of years. The red dragon Bao Yanxia, ​​who was so powerful that even gods were in awe of him, only decided the length of time based on his strength.

But just like what Wei Na said; considering that in addition to the emperor of the Aslan family, there is also an emperor of the Drak family sleeping here.Directly destroying the gate is somewhat like digging one's ancestral graves to dismantle the anti-theft facilities. It comes to mind that no one without a serious mental illness would ever make such a mentally ill decision.

Besides, the reason why I couldn't get in was because I was missing two keys.

Throughout the ages, the solution to missing keys has always been to simply get another one.

So... Nano (mechanical) God of War, come out! !

Along with Ozwald's open palms, silver-gray mist flowed from his sleeves, and began to rapidly construct the essential keys to open the tombs of the Victoria kings from the molecular level.

This is not to say that the red dragon still has the design diagram of the key in his mind, or that he memorized the scan diagram before coming to Londinium... It's just that he wanted to give it to this person after being banned by Tracys. Chairman Terra was in such a violent state that he had his head screwed off, so he really didn't have time to think about it that much - so the reason was very simple, it was just like making a copy of the original version on-site like a normal key.

"But, according to you, Ozwald, doesn't that key belong to someone else? She's not here, right? And how can you communicate with her? Won't Sarkaz eavesdrop on the communication?"

"Yes, she is in Britain; uses nanomachines to write to communicate; there are no signal waves, so there is no way to eavesdrop."

Ozwald answered every question from Vina honestly.

Generally speaking, the contact scope of Terra's personal mobile terminal (cell phone) is generally limited to the mobile city, even considering that Chernobog, Dragon Gate, and Londinium exist because of their long history or important functionality. For large and super large mobile cities, the area is only about [-] square kilometers, which is only the communication area at the provincial level of most of the motherland last week.

And if safe houses are built in urban waterways and wilderness to set up communication base stations, the range can be expanded by using large communication equipment... In most cases, this is the normal Terran communication method.The remaining methods are nothing more than relying on traveling salesmen, messengers, or strange witchcraft and spells similar to lowering heads. This method is full of limitations and uncertainties.

But Ozwald is not the same as his Britain.

Because Britain is a [living city] built entirely by the fusion of nanomachines, and every corner and every brick is controlled by a red dragon; as long as he wants, he can use nanomachines to build the required symbols or patterns anywhere in Britain. ——Of course this includes words.

It is "sent" by writing on the British side by the red dragon, and the nanomachines carried by the red dragon can be "received" by temporarily opening permissions to the specific people who received the message... In this way, a kind of difference between Nowadays, in any way on Terra, a network of contacts similar to that of the Sarkota clan but more refined and unique to Britain can be completed.

In this case, if Terra captures the signals of large mobile base stations in the normal sense to eavesdrop or hinder magic, it will naturally be ineffective.

"What a convenient method." Wei Na sighed.

"...Actually, there are disadvantages to this."

Ozwald's expression suddenly turned gloomy, and he said quietly: "Because this way, no matter where I am, I will be no different from being in the High Tower Royal Court."

"What's the meaning?"

"It means... they can use this method to send me government affairs reports that need to be signed... BYD, now I am dreaming back to the days when I coded in front of the computer to sign electronic contracts!"

Ozwald beat his chest in annoyance and cried out that he regretted it.

To be fair, he obviously didn't take the initiative to mention the communication. It turned out that he just used it once to report that he was safe at home after the first battle in Londinium, like Metatron, Viviana, and Jerran. Especially like this, all the political responsibilities among the Knights of the Round Table were enlightened and they started posting things the next day... Every day they were either talking about the construction sites of churches related to Lateran or about the gathering place for messengers of natural disasters. Application processing!

You know, Brother Oz, we have defeated the invincible King of Sakaz during this period of time (big boo), and defeated the Blood Demon with no regard for his head and body (satisfied), and the result is nothing but There wasn’t even a single person outside the small tower who applauded or felt sorry for me!The silly dog ​​Sakota can only say "That's it?"

'Damn it, don't go too far, Terran! ! '

Cursing angrily in his heart, Ozwald pushed the key made from a template provided by Tallulah in Britain into the slot of the main door of the royal mausoleum, and began to conduct a tentative check in order to make further progress. Correction.

At this time, he had a little chat with Wei Na.

"At this time, I would like to ask you, Alexandrina; when you were a child, did you think about your future, such as the orders you would issue when you came to power?"

"No, I never thought about it." Aslan's crown prince shook his head, and his golden hair fluttered gently with her movements: "I was too young when I was in the palace, and I have no hope after leaving the palace."

"But I have thought about it. It was the year when I first became Lord Artoris and you just drew your sword...the year we two made our engagement."

Ozwald said as he stared at the door in front of him.

After the final debugging, the shape of the key has been perfectly adapted. Then, with a slight twist, you can push open the door to the end of the past and present in Victoria.

But he didn't do it immediately. Instead, he kept holding the key and faced the door as if facing his fate.Speak word for word in a calm and clear voice.

"Looking at it now, it's just like the Red Dragon is trying to use marriage to increase its declining voice in Victoria; Aslan controls most of the court, and you are the little princess with a 'destined destiny', but Aslan The method of still being willing to accept marriage is just a paralyzing and appeasing strategy for future large-scale actions... But at least, I thought about it seriously during that banquet. Vina.

——If I can defeat you in the battle for the throne in the 'future', the first thing I will do when I wear the laurel wreath made of Albion oak and hold the black staff is to ask you Aslan. Come up with a riddle.If you can't answer it, I will break the [Breath of Kings] and break this [National Sword] that represents the beginning of all the glorious history of Victoria and almost killed the first Dragon King of our Drak family. "

"........."

Without speaking, Wei Na quietly waited for the red dragon's next words.

"And this riddle is: How does a mute tell a deaf man that a blind man is watching a lame man dancing - this is a riddle that I liked very much after I saw it a long time ago. Can you guess what it is?"

"——I don't have the answer; Ozwald. I guess you probably want to use this method to confirm something... something about Aslan and Drac, about the future of the two races."

Wei Na speculated, she expected that with the red dragon's temperament and style, the question itself would not be to intensify the conflict between Aslan and Draco, but to be more gentle and choose to believe in the hearts of others. There will be some illusion that some goodwill survives.

It's just that she will have difficulty guessing the answer for a while, and she still needs the answer from the questioner.

"The answer is: [The mute can use his fingers to draw the shape or text of 'The cripple is dancing' so that the deaf can see it; then the mute can use his fingers to touch the shape or text of 'The cripple is dancing' so that the blind person can feel it]."

Although this riddle and its answer may seem playful, it also reflects the need for people to find different ways and means of communication, especially when facing some special situations.

In real life, people can also use a variety of communication methods and methods in a similar way to help those facing difficulties so as to better help them integrate into society.

Therefore, for Ozwald who mentioned this problem to Aslan, it was essentially used to speculate whether the Aslan family could try to help others from the perspective of others... try Next, confirm whether Drak can truly achieve the possibility of peaceful coexistence with the Aslan family.

If one person could guess an accurate or similar answer, it would be worth the trial and error for Ozwald to start.

"However, the fact is that even this opportunity to discuss was not given to me, even though I have all the possibilities..."

With the mechanism triggered by the turning of the key, the doors of the kings were finally opened.

This is much more difficult than anyone imagined. Every time this heavy and locked door moves, it will make a rolling roar, just like the fate that is about to be crushed is emitting a sad wailing. The last king of the Drac family was killed. Open as if tearing apart.

In the place where kings rest—

Victoria's thousand-year history is rushing towards her, towards Aslan who has left and returned.

Everything finally dispersed under the firelight of the Dragon Emperor who was walking on the flames.

"It's ironic."

In the darkness, who didn't know who said such a whisper.

ps: In the original work, Miss Wang was very relaxed when she opened the door, just like Victoria's destiny welcomed the arrival of the destined child; so it was particularly difficult for me when Oz opened the door, for comparison. metaphor.Drake was no longer Victoria's master and king.

To stir the waters: 45 To make a promise before kings

The black building is silent at the end of the underground space, with exquisite and complex structures arranged inside it.

Generations of the best minds in Victoria have gathered here, and they have devoted their energies to constructing it all.

But just to put the sword in it.

After all, a hero who can hold it and cut through natural disasters is rare in the world, and can even be said to be rare in a thousand years; in this case, use the wisdom of a human being to open up this shield that can withstand the storm even for those who are unable to hold the sword.

These structures, and even this building that stretches hundreds of kilometers from below, were born from this, and this is the so-called city-state era.

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

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

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

Relying on the guidance of the blood that was so overflowing that it even flowed to the outside through the tiny cracks in the door, it was not that Ozwald failed to see the body of Sakaz as their owner.

Even with the obstruction of shadows, a cursory glance revealed trees with at least a hundred people, and most likely many more.

Of course, because they have been exposed to this air for several years, most of Sakaz's corpses have decomposed, causing a lingering smell to permeate the air of the royal tomb, which is already damp and moldy. There was a putrid smell; but judging from the equipment and clothing left behind, they were all elites of the Sakaz Royal Court Army... Even Ozwald found a few sentences among these vague and indistinguishable corpses, Precious Database The records of several survivors who fought against Askaron inside the Tower of Babel during the final decisive battle of the Kazdaele Civil War recorded in For these Sakaz, even "elite" is probably an insult.

Otherwise it would not be enough to become the destroyer of Victoria's Imperial Guard-level force, the Steam Knights.

It can be seen from the arrangement of various traces left on the battlefield that the Steam Knights were the attackers in this battle, and the one who was stationed here to stop them was Sakaz; especially the ones at the forefront were almost Lian Na The mecha equipped with various weapons was not fully activated, and was riddled with holes by five or six meters long spikes projected by magic or witchcraft.

Although judging from the orderly position of the subsequent Steam Knights, it was not expected that the Victoria Guards who initially attacked would react in a very short time and spontaneously organize the battlefield formation, allowing the Sakaz Royal Court Army to attack They were caught in an extremely painful and brutal tug-of-war, which cost them several times, or even dozens of times, of casualties.

But such a result cannot change - what happened here is not a heroic story of the steam knight desperately defending the symbol of Victoria under the siege of Sarkaz; it is the fact of a trap.

These Victoria knights, who were burdened with words related to power and glory in the eyes of countless people, unpreparedly ran into the encirclement net that Sakaz had prepared long ago.

A Sarkaz siege built on the resting place of the Victoria kings.

All steam riders are here.

——Maybe because the throne is vacant, the knights who originally only obeyed the orders of Lord Victoria like the Tower Knights can be taken advantage of by others, but just like Casimir is responsible for the Silver Spear Pegasus Legion stationed at the border, all the Steam Knights can be Transferring back to Londinium is definitely not something that one or two grand dukes who are blinded by ambition can do; not Wellington, not Stafford, not even Normandy!

So those who betrayed them——

"The whole...Victoria, huh!"

He casually uncovered a long-dried dark blood scab covering the entire body of the several-meter-high power mecha, and Ozwald let out a low laugh of unknown meaning.

Although he indirectly witnessed the destruction of the Steam Knight Troops in the conspiracy, this result was not enough to make him feel too much.

After all...such a situation and ending, for the Red Dragon clan, they have experienced the pain called betrayal much longer ago.

In the night of extinction 28 years ago, in the royal war nearly a thousand years ago...

Intriguing power disputes, betrayal due to interests or not... No matter how the fields change, they will always be common as long as there is still a social structure constructed by race and civilization.

So he didn't stop here for too long, but went to find the things he was more interested in, those cold but seemingly alive statues.

As the resting place of kings, the statues of King Aslan and King Drac are displayed here.

According to the rules, these stone statues are not made with Originium technology. They require royal masons to carve and polish them for many years.With the purest enthusiasm and sense of mission, we strive to use pure manual methods to restore the spirit of the kings in their most perfect state, which represents the epitome of the Victorian era, and strive to restore the details of every hair.

The lion whose beard is erupting and possessing power without anger; the red dragon who controls the fire and hides the original explosion in the appearance of tranquility.

He watched one by one and walked past one by one; starting from the time of the Kingdom of Drak when Londinium was not a mobile city, the first Dragon King Artolis and Aslan Pasha... walked through the procession called The life of Victoria's young nation from its birth to its rise.

Finally, the Dragon Emperor of Britain stood in front of the man and looked up.

Alexandrina Victoria's grandfather, Frederick III, "Conqueror of Gaul".

Long-term vision, great talent, and foresight... Judging from his achievements in developing Victoria, all kinds of praise can be bestowed upon this man.Even in a sense, the decision to annihilate the Drak court made by him in his twilight years... may also be called [but it only removed an unstable scab on the road to Victoria's long-term hegemony] Moss] That’s all.

Even if he stood in front of this man as a drake, in addition to his undoubted hatred and hostility, he had to endure the anxiety and dissatisfaction, admitting the achievements that he had done but that he could not complete - that was not It can be denied by saying, "Because he was the emperor at the time, he could issue this order. If I come, I can still seize the opportunity."

At that time, Victoria had not yet gained hegemony. What was even worse was that due to the intervention of the then hegemonic Gallic Empire, Colombia declared independence, causing Victoria to lose a vast territory and many cities one after another. Such reckless participation in the exhibition has caused widespread resentment among the people in the country;

There is no alliance with Letania and Ursus in advance, and all actions can only be based on unreasonable "belief" and "conjecture" to establish a tacit understanding;

Not to mention, no one can guarantee that Victoria, which has been severely damaged, Ursus, whose country is unstable under the new emperor, and Letania, a second-rate country with a crazy king, can defeat the Gallic Empire at its peak hegemony... Even if Gaul can be stopped Can the destruction of Leitania, which dares to disobey him, be prevented and its further expansion prevented, but the inevitable revenge that will follow this victory?

There is almost no hope of victory, and even if you get one or two victories, you may not get any benefits, and there are huge disadvantages. In this case, some people really dare to risk their reputation and the high probability of the entire empire being brought down. Join the war?

But that man did it.

After completing his victory in one battle, he seized every opportunity and never allowed any possibility of counterattack or future revenge. He completely destroyed the hegemony that had prevailed for a while, allowing Victoria, whose position was originally in danger due to division, to advance instead of retreating and become the leader to replace the old one. The new emperor of Gaul.

Such an achievement of expanding the land is so unimaginable.So much so that even his mother, who was not a king, was able to have her own sculpture in the tombs of the kings and enjoy the honorary name of "Glory Elizabeth".

Similarly, it was the Lion Emperor who helped the building to collapse and turned the tide when it fell, which single-handedly enabled the Aslan family to have unparalleled voice and admiration in the hearts of the Victorians; the national sentiment placed on him had a great influence on him. His son carried out the natural transfer and inheritance, allowing him to surpass all competitors in the battle for the throne with an undisputed and absolute voice, and take the laurel crown made of Albion oak...Thus, he created In the past hundred years, the entire political power of Victoria has been almost monopolized by Aslan, completely crushing the Red Dragon who was still able to compete.
