Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

The Black Knight Wants to Get the Arima Memorial 1: 24 The Black Knight's Arima Memorial Tournament Outside Hazama

The chief of the Supervisory Committee, Grand Knight Commander Casimir, Ioletta Russell.

Compared to her comrade Cyril Linguang, who once worked side by side with Ursus on the battlefield and established great deeds and meritorious deeds, but is now too old to hold a sword, Ioleta's age is also close to that of her race. She is old, but just by looking at her strong and vigorous steps when walking, you can tell that this former high-level combat knight has not neglected exercise at all because of her increasing age and being in a high position away from the battlefield.Even more so, the sword is a bit more restrained in its sheath.People who confront her can feel a certain kind of courage that is not angry and self-defeating.

"Please take a seat, guest from Victoria."

As a matter of course, Ioletta held her position as the host and greeted Ozwald to sit down.After the red dragon complied with the wishes of the Grand Knight Commander and sat opposite her, Viviana took action, walked to her adoptive mother's side and sat down respectfully, with her back straight, waiting for the Grand Knight Any instructions the commander may give.

Even though she had a very good relationship with Oswald, and Ioletta treated her as if she were her own child, they were just getting along in private; and in an environment where serious matters were about to be discussed at this moment, she just couldn't participate. The junior in the conversation between host and guest.

"First of all, let me congratulate you on your victory in the first battle, Mr. Ozwald. Your Caprini is indeed an excellent knight with extraordinary skills and force. I hope he can win you a knight." A satisfactory result.”

With a gentle smile on her face, Ioletta raised her hand and applauded Oswald gently.

Just like Snitz can roughly judge whether the Black Knight can win the championship after seeing the contestants; as the Grand Knight Commander and the Chief of the Supervisory Committee, Ioletta Russell has more power than the Linguang family. , no matter which contestant's resume she wants, she can have it at her hand in detail within a few minutes.Because of this, she can more accurately judge who can stand at the end in this competition where talent is scarce due to various factors - but Ioletta is not like Pegasus and Ozwald after all. I have a good personal relationship, so I won’t speak too bluntly.

But it's obvious that she is optimistic about the Black Knight.

According to Casimir's tradition, if you achieve excellent results or even win the championship in the Knights Athletics Championship, you are fully qualified to form a knight team of your own.Even if the champion is a person without any power background, there will be some powerful people who take the initiative to help fund its establishment out of interest considerations.

However, as a contestant who has already "got his wife", the Black Knight obviously does not need and will not consider other people's choices.

"So the reason for your visit this time is to ask me about matters related to the formation of the Knights in the future?"

The Grand Knight Commander asked the red dragon.She also said that because of the good relationship between the latter and her adopted daughter, she could provide Ozwald with some advice about the Knights in a personal capacity.

"Although this is also an important matter, before discussing this... I am here to apologize to you; madam."

"Oh? Why did you say that?"

"My knight did not abide by the rules of the competition and killed his opponents on the spot. This is an indisputable fact; and from this point of view, it is natural and reasonable for you to cancel my results. ." Red Dragon said sincerely: "But you made an exception and allowed our promotion. This really cannot make me unthankful."

"But having said that, the person who hinted you to do that is me, the Grand Knight Commander..." Holding the tea cup, Ioletta looked at Ozwald with a playful expression: "You smart little kid The guy just read my mind and followed it. If there is anything wrong, it must be my fault for wanting to use you as a gun to beat the Federation of Commerce, isn't it?"

"No, what's the matter? You are the master here, I am just a guest who comes to Casimir to watch the battle and visit. Even if there is a problem, it is naturally the guest's fault. How could it be you? What’s the master’s fault?”

He shook his head vigorously, with a stern look on his face, and said righteously in a resolute voice: "The hero who saved the country with Cyril Linguang, Her Excellency Ioletta Russell, could make a mistake? Absolutely impossible! She clearly has her whole heart. Just for Casimir!”

"...Haha, that's very well said, young Draco; as the Grand Knight Commander, I have the full power to consider Casimir without any selfish motives. So today's farce is indeed the wanton act of a brat like you. That’s all.”

After taking a sip of the sweet tea in the tea cup, Ioletta looked at the red dragon with extremely satisfied eyes, and the smile on her face became gentler and kinder.

"But you let me watch a good show after all, so I can take over this trivial matter.

Now, let's talk about what kind of knighthood you plan to form after winning the championship. "

"Actually, I thought about this knighthood on the way here. I plan to form a [round table]."

"Knights of the Round Table... um~~" After deconstructing it in Victorian and imagining the resulting scene in her mind, Ioletta raised her eyebrows: "It looks like There’s something parliamentary about it, is that what you’re thinking?”

"Yes." Red Dragon bowed slightly: "And this is also the reason why I want to apologize to you again."

"Although it's still named after knights, based on the composition and management methods in my plan, if I have to say...compared to the knights who exercise their strength, it is actually more appropriate to use [restaurant]."

No matter whether they are former opponents in the competition, or whether they are from a noble family or not; without boring identity constraints, there is no need to consider the level of status. Around the round table without edges and corners, everyone can put aside troublesome communication and enjoy happiness. and delicious food.

...This is probably what a restaurant for everyone should be like.

Of course, the reason why Ozwald made such a choice is partly because he really likes the happy atmosphere where everyone cooks and eats together; on the other hand, it is also based on his consideration of the current reality.

Even if the incoming Red Dragon Grand Duke valued Casimir's composition and set up funds here to recruit teams... But the Supervisory Committee is not a commercial alliance after all. As long as the money is in place and it is profitable, he can pretend to be blind and do anything. I don't care if I don't know; the Jianzheng Committee will really intervene.

Even if it is within the rules for the winner of the Major Tournament to form his own team of knights, once this new knights group will be stained with the colors of another country other than Casimir, there is a high probability of huge disputes; Then they would never sit back and watch such an incident happen - the red dragon named Ozwald Artoris was obviously among the ranks of such important embankments.

You don’t even need to do that kind of overt or covert suppression. You just need to “accidentally” publish in the news that among the interpersonal relationships behind the [-]th Major Champion Black Knight, there is a man named [Oswald] characters are enough.The rest of the work will naturally be done by some guy who came here with the smell.

——Just like what a certain Duke of Ursus and Emperor Dayan did a few years ago.The former, who had a certain plan, and the latter, who wanted to attack his brother, reached a tacit understanding invisibly and obtained a suitable sharp knife from Victoria.

"Just, that's what. I know it's against the rules to open a restaurant in the name of the Knights...but isn't that why I came to discuss with you, Ioletta?" I scratched my head. Scratching his head, the red dragon pretended to be silly and smiled: "Please, please be accommodating!"

"Although it is indeed against the rules, it is harmless. After all, how a knight order is run has nothing to do with Casimir's officialdom.

To be fair, I personally still hope to see a new and excellent knights lead the stagnant Casimir to regain its vitality.Casimir needs rising stars like this who can become role models for everyone. "

He drank the last of the warm water in his tea cup.Grand Knight Commander Ioletta looked at the naive red dragon with eyes as if looking at a wayward junior, and chuckled helplessly and dotingly:

"But that Caprini is your knight after all. If you, as its owner, really insist on doing so, then of course there is no need for us to ask any more questions. Do you understand?"

"That's enough."

Holding the teacup in his hand high, using the tea as a substitute for wine, Ozwald said respectfully:

"I would like to thank you for your indulgence, Your Excellency Ioletta Russell."

"People are in Rutland, but they can travel through time"

ps: In short, what Oz and the Grand Knight asked was not whether the Round Table Restaurant was legal, but whether he could live in Casimir honestly without making any small moves.

The "We won't ask any more questions" from the Grand Knight Commander, who represented the Supervisory Committee, was a tacit consent.

After all, he is a guest who has been exiled to Casimir, and he always has to take the host's likes and dislikes into consideration when doing things. ??

The Black Knight wants to get the Arima Memorial 1: 25 The Black Knight’s Arima Memorial is the first of the four

There was a huge crowd and a buzz of people.

This is the center where several great knights unite, and is the scene of the finals of the [-]th Casimir Knights Tournament, a night of championships to compete for the best of Casimir's contemporary knights.

Long before the referee and commentator announced the official start, the enthusiasm of countless spectators and fans had turned the place into a "sea of ​​fire" in another sense, and thunderous shouts continued in the arena.

And it is natural to have such expectations.

——"Casimir has never faced a challenge in hundreds of years"; "The dark heavy armor is enough to defeat the opponent without any Origin Stone spells"; "He is the one who has reached the pinnacle of martial arts"...

As the Black Knights used their simple but overwhelming power to win one game after another, from the top 32 to the top [-], the top [-]... until today's finals.More and more names are being applied to Caprini from Letania.

Whether they were watching the game live or getting to know her through the recording after the game, the audience responded with anticipation and enthusiasm for her appearance.

Even in the [-]th Special Championship, which had become more and more accident-prone due to the many bloodthirsty Autobots, the game about the Black Knight was the only one that would not have any interference from drones - the one she was fighting against The giant sword on the shoulder is better than any tripping thunder or arrow. No matter how much you ignore the rules and hold back, it will still cause terrible damage to the attacked person.Under the premise that it is easy to break bones and ravage flesh and blood, any unnecessary interference will greatly reduce the effect of this performance that satisfies everyone's bloody needs.

And the more important point is that even if he is wielding a giant weapon of that level, he can use his wonderful skills to perfectly parry the rapid-fire combos of agile opponents, and find the opponent's weakness and flaws in the pleasant sound. , defeating the enemy with one strike.

Such a combat method that combines violence and technology, is real and bloody, and is full of oppression is so satisfying for onlookers!

——The Black Knight, as the instigator, understands this very well.

On the final stage of the game, you are in the center of thousands of eyes.

When fighting the last obstacle on his way to winning the championship; even though he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the sword and can no longer tolerate extraneous objects, the Black Knight can still feel the "waves" that are constantly rising and falling around him. .

Every time his sharp blades and shields fell and hit his opponent's body, these "waves" would always experience a violent increase.

——Cheering for the overwhelming power she showed in battle, and excited for the scream when her blade tore through the human body, and the sight of blood flying in the air.

And when she used the familiar giant sword as her own arm to smash the opponent's shield and armor, she completed the expected bone-cutting and flesh-cutting.Later, the defeated were sent for treatment by a team of doctors who had been preparing for a long time.After a moment of silence, the Black Knight slowly raised the giant sword high above his head, showing the posture of a winner. At this moment, the wave of millions of emotions reached its peak as if the water and the sky were rolling in reverse, surrounding She is the center of the arena and reaches into the night sky.People enthusiastically cheered her presence.

From this moment on, [Black Knight], which was originally only a code name for the competition, will also become her unique title in the future.At the same time, it will become the only figure that people in Casimir will associate with when they see the corresponding pure color.

The Black Knight from Letania won the championship in his first competition. This Caprini will become the history of the country of Casimir and become someone who will be remembered by dozens, hundreds... or even hundreds of years later. A "story" that is mentioned and therefore fascinated and regarded as a goal.

But when the Black Knight stood in front of the spotlight of the winner, holding the championship certificate in his hand, facing countless reporters and admirers, she only felt noisy.

It is true that she will be satisfied with winning the championship, but that is because it proves that her efforts so far are not in vain, and it is the result that she deserves to reap.

Even though the people of Casimir call themselves a master of martial arts who reach the top without even using the Origin Stone skills and have unfathomable strength; only the Black Knight knows how far she will go in order to achieve this achievement. How much effort was expended.

As the Black Knight has known and understood a long time ago; those who worship and approach her because of her power will also stay away because of this power.

It was really difficult for her to feel even a little bit of pure joy at the praise from these guys who had only seen the highs but never the lows.

But she knew her reasons for fighting.

She knew where in this strange land she could find a place where she could feel at ease.

After the boring and cumbersome award ceremony, Caprini looked at the back of the red dragon with the trophy spinning in front of him and walking as briskly as a child.

"My lord."

"Aha?"

"Am I qualified to be a [Sword] that can help you now?"

"Ah? Girl, what are you talking about? When I left those stinky SS soldiers, how would I have lived without you?" Looking back, Ozwald looked at the Black Knight with a strange look on his face: "Haven't you always been? Or are you saying you won't play with me anymore?"

"That's right...I'm sorry, my lord, I seem to have asked a stupid question."

She smiled.

Yeah, I asked myself a stupid question.As early as a long time ago, she "has been", "has been" to this day, and "will always be" the trusted king's sword in the future.

Blessed by this simple answer, deeply satisfied.

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

[A giant round table large enough for hundreds of people to sit down and dine together]

As a celebration of the Black Knight's victory, it was also the first banquet of the future "Knights of the Round Table (Restaurant)".That night, Ozwald received this gift from Viviana's adoptive mother, the Grand Knight Commander Ioletta.

Of course, because he knew a certain classic Celtic myth and legend, when the red dragon saw Viviana and the big table that was dragged over by her people, after the initial 'confusion', the red dragon was immediately frightened. He even immediately stumbled backwards and fell to the ground.

"It's broken, it's broken! I'm going to be bullied! Why is there such a trivial matter?! I've obviously changed it into a restaurant, but I still can't escape this fate?!"

But everyone has already pulled the table over, so why not ask people to pull it back?

Therefore, under Viviana's strange gaze, the red dragon muttered, "It's so unlucky, it's really unlucky." At the same time, he ordered people to place the table into the place he purchased through his money ability. It was used as the center of the hall required by the knights and became the seat for the upcoming banquet.

——Today is, after all, the night when the champion of the Major is born, so even though it is already after two o'clock in the morning, there are still many invited guests gathered here.

Snitz, who was wearing a suit and ties, was talking about Casimir's future with several fellow Silver Spear Pegasus comrades who were also wearing regular uniforms;

With a smile on her face, Yolanta and Ioletta teased their little daughter Maria, who was just starting to bab in her arms;

The civilian craftsman who built the D[-] steel greatsword and full-body armor looked proud and repeatedly told the knights who had lost to Caprini, most of whom were still wearing bandages, what their "children" had shown in the competition. Heroic.

The Black Knight dressed as a housekeeper is distributing the filling and generous mashed potatoes she made by herself, which are perfect for dealing with food shortages, but her face is full of sadness because of the mostly negative reviews she received.

The introverted Margaret's tail was waving wildly out of fear, but she still pretended to be calm like a little teacher, telling the children in the nearby orphanage the children's story written by Red Dragon for them - from her Judging from the three-cornered hat on his head, it turns out that the person responsible for this job should be some kind of free red dragon.

Even three black iron and one lapis lazuli figures in the Wuzhou Alliance were invited here because they were hired to train black knights in the past; they leaned against the secluded corner and raised their hands when they saw the red dragon. The wine glass in his hand gave me my salute and congratulations.

Just as the red dragon said at the home of the Grand Knight Commander that day.

Whether they are former opponents on the field; or knights and commoners; around the round table without edges, everyone can put aside troublesome communication and enjoy the pure joy of food and social interaction.

"This kind of scenery makes me feel like I'm in a book; only those poems can have such scenes."

While using her Origin Stone skills to light a candle for the huge cake, Viviana whispered to the red dragon who was holding the chair below.

"You'll be a king that many people will love, Oz."

"Forget it, what do you think you can get at the top of power? It's just loneliness and suspicion; and there's still a lot of work to do... When you wake up every day, you have to take care of millions of mouths, haha... "

Hearing Viviana's words, the red dragon's head shook like a rattle.

"In my life, as long as I can find time to box a few times like this, eat happily with everyone, wait until the smelly cat gets old, find an opportunity to shovel his head twice, and then go fishing in Xista It’s very satisfying when you touch it until it explodes~~”

ps: The first championship will be relatively simple.After all, it has been said that many powerful knights are not interested in participating this time. It is up to the black knights to arouse the desire to fight, and then some famous people will appear in the next time. (However, I wrote six chapters inside and outside the game, which is almost enough if it’s not about hydrology)

In addition, due to the plot demand for readers’ subscriptions when it is released on Friday, I am considering whether to speed up the story a little and omit some gentle conversations between the parties.The fight for the second crown will start soon, what do you think?

The Black Knight wants to get the Arima Memorial 1: 26 Spokesperson

If there is a cause, there must be an effect.

As the Black Knight won the championship of the No. 19 Casimir Knights Tournament, there will be certain funeral events corresponding to the title of champion that cannot be escaped.

Generally speaking, what you will encounter at this stage is nothing more than solicitations from major knights and investments from business federations that smell money - but the Black Knight obviously does not need to consider the former.

After all, anyone with a bit of vision can see that the expensive equipment of the Black Knight is obviously not of a level that a true lone wolf would possess; there must be a hidden support team behind the scenes.Especially when the host asked politely during the post-game awards ceremony whether he would like to join any knights in the future, the Black Knight responded with a clear and expressionless expression that he already had the decision.Afterwards, the "Round Table" formed by the Red Dragon, called the Knights, was actually a restaurant, which further confirmed this point.

Under such circumstances, the only ones who would take the initiative to come to discuss cooperation are those guys from the Federation of Commerce who have no profit and can't afford to do it early.

It was almost three months after the competition ended and the "round table" operation started to get on track. The guests holding briefcases opened the door of the restaurant.

"Thank you for accepting my appointment, Your Highness Ozwald."

In view of the nature of the round table, he ordered a table of sumptuous dishes as soon as he entered the door to take care of business. The middle-aged man in a suit just introduced himself to the red dragon: "My name is Charney. I am an ordinary man." Civilian staff of the Federation of Commerce...you can call me whatever you like."
