Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

"There's no need to put on such a frightened expression, young man."

Seeing the red dragon leaning back, with almost all the hair on his body standing on end, the angel god smiled and waved his hand, releasing an emotional pulse that made him involuntarily relax and calm his mood, and then slowly explained to him, saying: "Terra Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of the birth of new gods and the death of old gods.”

And every time new compatriots appear, they are aware of it. Old people like Rutland and Yelagande who have stockpiles can only make a little observation of unfamiliar individuals they don't understand, and follow the river called time. Determine whether the future is an enemy and whether it can be resolved; and if it is not an enemy, then there is no need to know it - just like an emperor of the Yan Kingdom, it is impossible to say that he must travel across mountains and rivers for the red dragon or big cat born in Victoria. Make friends with it.

Even mortals who value power and interests cannot do this, and the free gods who have nothing to do with mortal power will not even care.

"Although the evil god, the enemy whose contradictions cannot be resolved, has followed his vague instincts and personally wielded a sharp blade or extended his tentacles towards you... But the former was used by you because of the knowledge that no one has yet understood. Words confuse the target and lead to other places; the latter is left to your own willfulness and strength to survive the long night and usher in the dawn - from now on, it is limited by other factors, and any further attempts to take it away have gradually When you grow up, your life becomes very difficult.

As for me……"

At this point, God Lateran paused for a moment, turned his head slightly, and looked at the window in the distance, looking at the birthplace that he had protected and lived in for thousands of years.

This is indeed a majestic and glorious city that can be called a holy city. Under the dazzling white lights around it, the precious stones that reflect the luster are piled together with unconstrained ingenuity, one after another. , built as the majestic Lateran; the church with its tall dome complements the simple but beautiful private houses, and among them are various dessert shops, and those walking through it, looking at it all The quite active Sarkotas, who wore halos and carried light wings, and Liboli were among them from time to time.

The people living here exude a lively atmosphere. Even those who don't have a smile on their faces seem to be smiling in this atmosphere.

And in the streets and alleys, you can see mobile stalls selling snacks and pastries suitable for filling your stomach and other snacks everywhere. They have a dazzling array of everything, but it seems that the majority of shops are all kinds of dessert shops. Even today, It is still open late at night.

——This is a city that you will never find on Terra. Its atmosphere, vitality, and splendor make him so convinced and proud of it.

"...I don't deny that the reason why Metatron's child went to the northern border of Ursus to wait for your arrival was because he planned to use your power to fight against a storm that would affect Lateran in the future. Let Rutland and the people inside live in peace. But this is what you would have done, Oswald. I have not forced you here, so you can rest assured."

"……do not understand at all."

With an indifferent expression on his face, Ozwald shook his head; it was as if he had returned to the time when he was watching Kelsey tell riddles and he could only click and pronounce ellipses.

What's the difference between this kind of conversation, where there is almost only one-sided understanding, and the amount of information obtained is completely unequal, and listening to a book from heaven?

"There is nothing we can do about it. God's vision is different from that of mortals after all."

God Lateran was not angry at Ozwald's answer. He just nodded normally and slowly explained to him: "Most of us who have become perfect bodies after thousands of years can see the flow of the future. Possibilities born of choice... Even the few who can't do it still have the intuition or instinct to achieve the same result, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. This is something you still can't understand and do in your embryonic stage. thing."

"...Tsk; to be honest, I'm still a loser. It's hard to resist... You'd better just tell me what you want to do, and I'll consider whether to do it or not, Master of Rutland."

"I don't need you to do anything, compatriot... In other words, you just need to do what you like, refuse when you hate it, and follow the way you have lived in the past. In this way, your destiny will flow and make everyone happy. and satisfactory direction.”

"...The ending of HE that makes everyone happy is already considered a miracle, right?"

"Yes, but just because it is a [miracle], you can do it; Ozwald, this is something that only you can succeed, and only you who have such power are the most suitable."

"what?"

Hearing God Lateran mention power again, Oswald's confusion became more apparent; he had never experienced such a high-level thing in so many years.

"In fact, your power is always effective, leading to the realization of [miracles] at less cost."

"what?"

“In words that are easier for people to understand, it is [possibility].

When you make a decision and take action; then during the result presentation, the originally slim probability will be increased as much as possible, combining several existing random numbers, thus achieving a [miracle] that should not have happened. You've shown it so many times. "

"..."

Subconsciously, Ozwald touched his forehead. Although he was slightly relieved because there was no horn that would automatically separate after entering a rage, but when he thought that he did have red mode, he collapsed again. Make a little dragon to criticize your face.

——Broken, now it has become the beast (dragon) of possibility

Radiant Rutland, no one can stop the gun battle: 18 True Gods & Mortals

"[Possibility] Nie...and it's still in effect all the time, right? Why didn't I print-ah!!"

With his arms folded and his cheeks constantly puffed up, Ozwald began to follow the Lord of Rutland's prompts and thoughtfully reviewed his life experiences so far.

His original intention was to refute the "Camus" who lent his body to everyone.

But with the beginning of introspection, I put aside some trivial matters that were too long ago when I was a child. Among the few events that left a deep impression, it seems that when I look back on the past now, it does seem a little bit...

Just, look, I just arrived in Letania almost 11 years ago, right?If Oz remembered correctly at that time, he was thinking of using Miss Black Knight's luck to evade the pursuers, right?Then within a few days, he was directly involved in the dispute between the Witch King's remnants and the Twin Queens... Then the assassins of the big cats really couldn't be found, right?Then, in the end, the biggest chance for me to escape, who was enjoying the experience behind bars in the hands of the Witch King's remnants, happened to be the Black Knight who found the messenger and returned safely, right?

Then when I met Viviana, it was the same over there... When supplies were scarce, I wanted to find a way to quickly reach Casimir, so I "happened" to meet the same person who was discovered to be an illegitimate daughter and was exiled. I happened to end up in that building. Viviana, who lives in a remote town, "happens" to be faced with the difficulty of having resources but no teammates, making up for the lack of money on hand... Multiple events eventually led to the result.

Even at the beginning of the year, driven by the feeding instinct, starting from Crazy Carters, it was a bit difficult for the veteran internal guards to fuse the flesh and blood of the demon with the power in his body. The methods were extremely barbaric and highlighted a gambling face, but Unlucky yet successful...

At that time, I figured out the principle but didn't figure out how to succeed. Now after what the Lord of Lateran said, it can indeed be explained according to [possibilities], so it is correct... Well, wait a minute,

No no no!

This is wrong! !

"Even if the results are random, are there still unlucky ones?! For example, in Leitania, the remnants of the Witch King took their meals. How can this be called a miracle!!"

The red dragon said angrily.

But in this regard, God Lateran seemed calm.

“[Miracle] originally refers to an event with extremely low probability that is impossible to happen, rather than a beautiful result for people.

Even if you control the possibility, you can't directly change the flow of the material world. You can only get the expected result by splicing multiple random numbers together based on the existence of existing things - after all, the result is good. Bad or not, this uncontrollability is also a part of [possibility]. "

"It sounds like this so-called [power] is not very stylish..."

"So don't rely too much on it. It's enough to know that you have it and use it as a reference for future actions."

God Rutland nodded slightly, and then added a little knowledge to Ozwald that only gods knew.

——Oswald is not the only so-called budding newcomer whose abilities are a bit weak. Basically all the existing big guys are like this.

For example, as the angel god worshiped and believed in by countless Laterans, His [power] is to be able to hear the prayers of every believer, and to add commandments that must be obeyed by Sakota who has sworn to himself, such as May. The kind where Tatron seals the sword and doesn’t kill;

Yeragond of the Snowy Mountains is a little better. She can move freely regardless of space in any land she was born in and named Kjerag. However, if there is a solid body beyond her understanding at that location, it will be easy to get stuck. .

As for the once most powerful Sui Beast on Dayan's side... it has nothing at all!The power possessed by the twelve existing fragments was simply acquired through practice.

"There is a so-called power that can violate reality like those enemies of civilization. It is a good thing that can only be seen in dreams~~~"

Just like an elder waving his hands to expose the unrealistic fantasy of a child and reveal the reality before his eyes, Rutlan God taught Ozward earnestly and sincerely: "If you really want some powerful ability, be honest." Like us, anyone who lives for two to three hundred years or a thousand years will have it."

That's what I said...

It's not so much the ability that makes you strong, but rather the fact that the person with that ability is already strong enough.While possessing a certain amount of innate power, and having experienced hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation of experience and knowledge, the huge quality and quantity can naturally accomplish almost everything in the eyes of mortals...

"Usually there are no exceptions to this, but there are some cases that have lived for a long time and are still very weak... Although it is considered to be a legendary level of strength that is unique among mortals, but... Far from what it should be, you know, Ozwald."

"Ah? Is it true? Have you seen it?"

"Yeah, there are some, I'm not going to lie to you. Oz"

Anyway, thousands of years ago, the green-haired Felin was there when He and Yeragond first appeared, and although we don’t know how long she lived, it was guaranteed to be more than seven or eight thousand years at that time; but even with such a long lifespan , gods and even many mortals who come to the fore can still kill her quite easily...

However, it is precisely because of the existence of such a powerful (big boo) film that it is difficult for gods like Rutland and Jeragond to conclude that people must be powerful if they live long, which is strange.

As for the Rutlan god, who had a look of emotion and lamentation on his face when he said this, Ozwald was basically at a loss for words except for a few echoing um um ah ah ah.

After all, he only knew the general plot of the first five chapters in last week's episode. He never skipped any activities, and never looked through character files. He just looked at the character drawings every day and let Niu Niu decide who to show to hundreds of videos...

All I can say is that Yj probably played some new role after that.Ozwald thought so.

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

“But speaking of you having lived for thousands of years, I have something to ask you.

Ore sickness, is there a cure for this thing? "

Ozwald pursed his lips, and after hesitating for a moment, he still asked a question that he was very concerned about when he was playing games, and now that he is living on this land, he can no longer ignore it.

But the Lateran god's answer surprised him.

"It is not a disease, but a gift from the world, giving mortals a convenient path to coexistence with the world and almost eternity."

In this world, the nearly inexhaustible Source Stone, created by the surging power after the raging natural disaster, was used as a high-purity fuel for the operation of machinery and cities, bringing the energy needed for people's daily life and technological progress. In addition, the Source Stone also contains energy and can resonate with the magic formulas triggered by the spirit of the living body, becoming an extension of the body or will when needed, allowing people to complete anything directly or indirectly... This makes the Source Stone almost can be equated with everything.

But at the same time, as the Source Stone is used and demanded, people who are in contact with it all year round or perform large-scale wandless magic will also grow due to the increase in the Source Stone particles in the body in a high-concentration environment. When it reaches a special concentration , or being scratched by active Originium and causing its components to enter the body, there is a very high probability of a terminal illness that will mineralize the body. Although there are ways to alleviate it, it is impossible to cure; and as the final stage of progression, Orestone Disease Patients will also die due to the explosion of the high-energy characteristics of the Origin Stone, which will harm the people around them and also have a high probability of triggering a new round of infection... This makes it deeply hated by the people of Terra.

“It can resonate with people’s will and be used by them. The Origin Stone appears due to the power of the world such as natural disasters, and its essence is the blood of the world.

"Its growth will bring pain, but like natural wind and rain, it is a necessary challenge before the rainbow appears... It will take you to get through it and get used to it. The blood of the world growing in your body will It truly becomes a part of you, replacing your organs, flesh, and bones, and giving you greater strength than usual.

And if you can still stick to your will and train yourself in the future, so as to keep up with their growth and not be left behind...then they will let you get rid of the weaknesses that you have as a weak flesh and blood body, such as the heart, lungs, Even if your intestines are completely destroyed, it will not affect you at all.With an ore body, you can still fight, think, and talk.

Finally, when you are tired of such a long lifespan and choose to die, you will become like them as the blood of the world, rising to the sky after being released from the land, turning into natural disasters that show the wrath of nature and returning to the earth again. "

"But having said that, the vast majority of people cannot accept this form of immortality. Everyone still prefers a healthy body."

"So for mortals, it is a terror and a disease; it is not a gift in my words; after all, it is just a different concept of cognition."

The god Lateran said casually.

If you don't like the eternity that this world bestows on everyone, and want to achieve immortality through the extravagant method of having both your cake and eat it too, the difficulty will naturally increase accordingly.

"Now that we've talked about this, let me ask a little more, Ozwald; have you done similar research before? Is it the kind that is extremely difficult to use the Origin Stone to test life without being infected? Or something else? of"

"It's not assimilating with the Source Stone, nor is it the life-extending method; I use another way of thinking."

During Casimir's more peaceful days, Ozwald made similar experimental attempts.

This is not to say that he is afraid of death, but that he is simply curious about some hypotheses proposed by late Homo sapiens, and he happens to have enough materials at hand, so he tries it.

The conjecture about the regular rejuvenation of lighthouse jellyfish - although subsequent studies have proved that they simply change directly between the polyp and the jellyfish body, and do not reset the age of the organism, this does not prevent Ozwald from using Drac to control The source stone technology of life phenomena, and its development in accordance with this idea.

Although the final result was not ideal, I found that the more powerful the body is, the more troublesome it is to reverse it, and because the degradation of the body as a container is really limited, it cannot even be maintained... There is no guarantee whether it can continue forever. , and there is a very high probability of an endless loop of "training strength for the next degradation, and then starting the next degradation after practicing strength", which is basically cerebral palsy behavior.

Generally speaking, it is still a feasible idea. If there is any hanging person who lives just to live...

"Okay, look at the time, we've almost finished chatting. Let me ask you one last question, young compatriot; although it's just an impromptu idea I came up with after meeting you today, I still hope you can answer it well.

There was a slight light in his eyes, and the Lord, who had protected the Holy City of Lateran for thousands of years, stared at the red dragon in front of him, and said with great interest:

"Look at the remaining prayers and thoughts on your body, Ozwald... You should have sheltered countless lives far beyond mine before, right? In a world different from the covered world of Terra.

In this case, why do you want to give up your past of sitting in the sky, participate in the story on the ground, and still be so weak that you can't protect yourself?

Do you like mortals that much?my fellow countrymen. "

"If anything, it's just bad luck..."

Regarding the question of the Lateran god, Ozwald smiled and scratched his chin.

After all, he couldn't tell the leader of all Sakota in front of him that he stayed up all night and squirted until he passed out due to cerebral palsy due to Terra's many settings, and he came here as soon as he opened his eyes, right?

And if there is a choice, why would a ghost come to such a shabby place... In the past 27 years, there are only a handful of years to live a good life, and nearly [-]% of the time has been running around... Until these two years, it has been a little bit... At other times, it can only be described as joy in suffering.

How can you say this kind of thing... When you look at the misunderstanding on the other side, it says 'You are so brave' and 'I have lived for thousands of years and I don't dare to play like this' written all over your face.

So I just kept all these grievances in my stomach.

"However, you are right about one thing -"

After thinking for a moment and organizing his words, Ozwald said sternly to the Rutlan god in front of him:

"——That's why I really like the stories that everyone on this earth weaves together; this will never change no matter how much time passes. I like to see the stories they tell with their lives, although there are always There is sadness, but there is never a lack of hope and laughter... So if possible, I also hope that they can live a better life, suffer a little less, and get a little more happiness..."

"...Haha, what you said is absolutely true."

God Rutland chuckled, and nodded slightly in deep understanding of what Ozwald said.

"Although they are clumsy and may be driven by their emotions to act irrationally, they work so hard to survive, and for this they glow; even if they are stained with blood and mud, their faces are still resolute... … They are indeed a group of children who can’t help but feel affection after seeing them.”

Therefore, even though He had blessed Lateran for 1000 years, He did not feel the slightest regret.

For this reason, even if He had to protect Lateran for another 1000 years, He would not complain at all.

Because this is the warm and joyful home that He and all the Laterans built together.

Radiant Lateran, no one can stop the gunfight: 19 Conversations among humans outside the gods

"We haven't seen each other for a long time, Mei."

After Gabriel took the initiative to announce the end of the dinner and took away Ozwald, although the three current or upcoming Datians, Ullie, Raphael, and Sariel, had left one after another, due to the need to wait Because the Red Dragon was returning home together, Metatron remained in front of Gabriel's mansion for the time being... and it was precisely because of this that he met a different kind of acquaintance as he sobered up.

It was an old man from Sakota who wore round and big silver-framed glasses, with beard and hair as white as snow, and whose face was very similar to the image spokesperson of a certain Drake's famous global chain brand "Ken Da Chicken" last week.

However, because the weather is too hot, he is wearing a white vest bought from Yanguo Longmen next door, and he looks more like an old man out for a walk on a summer night than Harlan Sanders - the only one The difference is probably that the hands of a normal old man may not be as powerful as his.

Even though there is no tension and he is just bending to hold the water glass normally, the muscle outlines on the exposed hands and arms of the old Sakota can still be said to be sharp and angular, making people think of him at a glance. Li must be a frequent visitor to the gym and certain sports.

And now he was at the door of Gabriel's house, eating his favorite cactus tart with a smile, while chatting awkwardly with Metatron without realizing it:

"There is no gap in jobs or positions like this. You are eating snacks and blowing the evening breeze. Do you still remember the last time?"

"That probably dates back to when the tenth life was still alive."
