Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

It was an Iberian town whose name you cannot find today, whether on maps or history books.When there were still people living there, it was called Chao Shi Town.

The bishop of Tidestone raised a young Sakota.A Sakota...grow up here, study here, spend the best years of your life here.It was austere and barren, but a pious life would not have required much.

It's just that in Iberia after the Great Quiet, no matter how hard people try, life will always be fragile.A plague, a famine, and a premeditated infiltration are enough to defeat everything.

In order to save his hometown that was not his hometown, Sakota came to the holy city of Lateran and asked for some trivial support.The answer he got was simple: you are one of us, they are not.

When Saccota returned to Iberia, that "hometown" no longer existed.Even everything was erased and smoothed, as if it had never existed.Like a grain of sand disappearing in the desert, a drop of water melting into the waves.

After a long journey, Sarkota returned to Rutland, broken and broken, like a wandering ghost.He went to a chapel to consult a canonized bishop, seeking answers and guidance.

Even a sage can only remain silent in the face of so many doubts.

He sat on the bench and sat there from dawn to dusk.

Fiametta, that was the first time I met Andorn

………………………………………………………………………………

This is Ozwald's first meeting with the Lord of Lateran in a strict sense.

Instead of relying on the rare able-bodied people to convey their voices to others, they stand on the ground by their own will.

The dazzling and eye-catching figure is completely cast by the light that will not turn your eyes away.

He constantly changes his appearance, from a contemporary pope sitting on the judge's seat, to a heavenly minister like Gabriel and others, to even the most ordinary passerby Sakota... He brings together Sakota's beliefs and The unified God who descended from the heart naturally possesses the myriad faces of Sakta.

Now, He looked sideways at this farce that he considered inappropriate and did not even convey his true intentions.

"You hate the smallness of Paradise. Andorn, you blame Rutland's inaction for the tragedies of outsiders.

But have you ever known how difficult it is for such a small paradise to exist on this land? How many sacrifices and time have the ancestors of your tribe spent to create this small paradise? What is the narrow pure land in your eyes?

Have you ever thought that there are real people in paradise?What reason do you have for using paradise as your firewood to ignite your [anger] that is destined to be extinguished?"

Speaking with the face of contemporary Pope Evangelista XI, the Lord of Lateran's voice was deafening, hitting Andorn's soul like a heavy hammer, causing countless ripples.Peeling away the true emotions that he does not want to admit and that are buried deep in his heart from under the surface of a believer...

"Real? Firewood? There are real people living in Lateran, and the lives of people outside Lateran...is it fake?!"

Touched by the reluctance to tell others, Andorn looked at the god in front of him, even temporarily forgetting the reverence and admiration that he naturally had in his heart as a Sakota, like a person who had lost something important. Like a child, he asked angrily:

"Those believers who believe in your form but cannot survive in Lateran because of the narrowness of paradise. They are not the ones in Sakota who have hope in their hardships. They believe in the covenants and laws. They believe that life can be changed. They expect their efforts to be rewarded.

Aunt Barron at the Bitter Salt Grocery Store, Randy the aide at Waves Chapel, little Sagre who twisted the rope for the ring... If Sakota's prayer is true, then their belief in the doctrine and What's wrong with hoping?

"Please tell me, merciful and almighty Lord...Why is my hometown, Tidestone Town, worthy of destruction? Is it just because believers other than me are not Sakota who can receive your blessings?" ?!"

Answer.

problem.

Andorn could clearly feel the moment when he sternly questioned the gods, an act of great disrespect in the eyes of his fellow tribesmen, and was impulsively carried out.

The shackles that had bound him for a long time were broken at this moment.And as I screamed, I just felt relaxed.

It was as if I was bathing in the salty afternoon sunshine of my irretrievable hometown.

He finally understood.

It turned out that this was the answer I wanted.It turned out that this was the question I wanted to ask.

It is not based on any lofty ideals, nor is it a passion for the salvation of those who suffer on earth.

I just don’t accept it, I just express my anger as the Lord said... Why did Rutland’s power only save him when Tidestone Town collapsed? Why was there so many people in that town who also believed in the light of the Lord? There are many people who are far more pious and kind than themselves, but in the end only themselves are saved.

Just because he and Rutland are basically the same, they are both Sakota, and they are all different ethnic groups? !

"Yes, because they are not Sarkota."

The pope's face disappeared in the light and shadow, replaced by the sharp blade of judgment; then, Lord Lateran gave Andorn a desperate answer with a cold and ruthless voice.

Based on the existence of empathy, the Sakota family blood makes each other naturally have emotions similar to family members.

That’s why Rutland would not hesitate to accept your hope when facing Andorn, who traveled across mountains and rivers to come here, and risked the suspicion of causing conflict with Iberia to travel thousands of miles to save his hometown of Chao Shi Town;

Therefore, when the destruction of Tidestone Town could not be prevented, the troops responsible for the rescue protected Andorn, who was only Sakota, when they were unable to do anything.

Therefore, faced with the loss of their homeland, the confused and desolate foreign city of Sakota, Lemuan and Mostima did not hesitate to lend a helping hand when they met for the first time and became close friends.

——Just like when a natural disaster strikes, no matter where people are, most of them will subconsciously save family members they are more familiar with first, rather than strangers.

This choice may not be worth advocating, but there is nothing wrong at all and no one can blame it.

"Why...Lord; why..."

As if struck by lightning, Andorn's body trembled slightly, and he spoke slowly with a dry and hoarse voice.

"Why, your kindness is only partial to Sakota; why...the same devout believers, you are not willing to favor them and offer even a small amount of salvation..."

"I have never favored any mortal, Andorn."

[Gabriel] looked at Sakota in front of him and sighed.Revealing to him the origins he had wanted to know.

"It's not that other tribes don't get my favor, it's that only your tribe (Sakota) chose to connect themselves to me with blood and bones."

"The victims who longed to live despite being killed, the saints who did not give up hope in desperate situations, are the source of the blood flowing in your body;

After countless prayers and hundreds of sacrifices...the redemption (me) of that cold and lightless night was finally forged, and you were reshaped and linked together...based on the reins of the law, in order to make you The ethnic group can continue.It has been like this in the past, and it will be like this in the future. "

Perhaps in Andorn's view, faith is the cornerstone that determines the existence of Rutland and even the Sakota tribe, but for gods, faith is faith;

It is a light that persuades people to do good, but it does not dispel the darkness; it is a candle that guides the way forward, but it does not bring warmth... Faith is just faith.

In the end, the material things that will bring you salvation and make you happy must be obtained by people with their own hands.

As a god, all He can do is to provide a place for these victims who long for peace and tomorrow to rest and return.

At this point, there is no difference whether it is Tripoli, Drak... or even Sakaz; everyone will be sheltered in this small paradise... This is the case for them all in existence.

The only difference is that because of the actions of the Sakota ancestors, the commandments penetrated into the soul and blood of the ethnic group, allowing the ethnic group to hear his voice, so they received the so-called 'apocalypse'. In addition, Nothing else.

He desires nothing, and naturally He is impartial to nothing.

"In the final analysis, it is impossible for everyone in the world to 'become Sakota'. This desire to force other races to lose their differences is the most disgusting existence in itself."

"Then can it be that those ethnic groups who were unable to be born as Sakota and unable to receive your guidance can only lament their misfortune and grieve at the unfairness of their fate?!"

Andorn looked at the Lord of Rutland in front of him in despair, unable to accept this fact.

Why...if the road never existed from the beginning, what could be found in the nothingness?

There is no light, no future, the sufferers must suffer, and the sad ones only have sorrow... There is no salvation at all, Rutland is only a paradise for a few people, and cannot be a relief for the entire continent.

If the tiny torchlight that exists in this bitter cold night is actually a shadow... No, it's not a shadow... The paradise called Lateran does exist... It's just not as good as people want... ...there has never been light...so how can we talk about illuminating...

"Unfair? I can't understand why you would say this, Andorn."

[Raphael] shook his head slightly;

"Felin with his quick feet, Pelo with his keen sense of smell, Ruper with his family and community, Wendigo with strong body, Drac who controls life... They also have their own abilities that are only 'given' to them as their own race, you Such natural gifts that Sakota does not have, or even cannot reach. When it comes to whether it is suitable to live on this earth, wouldn't those practical talents derived from the body be easier to come by than Sakota? Why does the body Why doesn't the weak Sarkota crave their strength?

When you regard the talents that are innate in life, like limbs, as gifts given by illusory faith, you have already gone astray.

What's more, even we so-called gods don't dare to judge the talents of mortals. We are arrogant and foolish to think that we can always be above mortals like you and live forever... and abandon our colleagues and think that Their lives are too arrogant compared to your great wishes, Andorn. "

Even if the people around you who have shared weal and woe, known you for many years, and deeply trust you are unwilling to love and cherish you, how can you provide guidance and salvation to the world? ; The great righteousness and ideals spoken by such people are just excuses for self-satisfaction.Even if it attracts some followers for a short period of time, it will eventually be abandoned and abandoned in the so-called more "grand" plan and become a new victim.

In the end, no one can save such a person, and no one will be saved by him.

"But if you really think that the lives of the dead are more meaningful than yours, then take their share, bear the weight of the dead, and show your own possibilities. In this way, there may be some merit.

Rather than insisting on letting others help the victims in your eyes, walk forward honestly and bear the burden, seek true knowledge through suffering, and learn from the monks who live in heaven and earth again, Andorn. "

ps: The Lord in my book (tentative), before the founding of Lateran City, the Sakota who were killed by Sakaz wanted to get a peaceful home, and they were constantly wandering and fighting. , out of the peak desire gathered in one place, the god Lateran was formed (that is, referring to the shaman sacrifice in a certain version of the Emperor's origin) and the birthplace of this god is Lateran.

Just like the snow-capped mountain god Yeragund, essentially Jehovah has been a completely independent individual since his birth. Things in this world have no influence on him; but because Lateran is his hometown and the place he identifies as Family, and those ancestors of Sakota can be converted into his parents, his children, and his family, so they should be protected as a matter of course.

There is still a big machine in the basement of the Papal Hall (Lethe River), but you can understand that Jehovah found a computer from a pre-civilization in order to facilitate the Sakota people to live a better life and unite together without being affected by the passage of time. Or after the energy storage is transformed and used in combination with the mottos (commandments) issued by the Sakota ancestors to Jehovah, it has the function of gathering the spiritual power or belief power of the Sakota race, and this has continued for thousands of years. The spiritual sea that gathered together with the expansion of the Sakota race was ultimately used to give the new Sakota children empathy, maintain the commandments, and strengthen them after taking office as the Great Tensi... and so on.

In addition to using these to eliminate natural disasters that Lateran will encounter, Jehovah will only use them for major events that will affect Lateran. At other times, he will basically take nothing or nothing (after all, he does not need this kind of external force)

Ah, of course, if one day, although Rutland has no need for Wangchuan at this stage, if one day it can develop a mental skeleton, then the reserves of Wangchuan can create three unimaginable weapons for the final decisive battle. ()

Glorious Rutland, Gunfight Unstoppable: 36 Ozwald Hated Tragedy

With the departure of the Lord of Lateran who came here, the local time that only the two people allowed to be exempted resumed its flow.

But as Sakta, who has a connection with the gods, except for Mostema, who has fallen to heaven and is broken from empathy, the people in the hall are also more or less aware of the arrival of the Lord.

Or chanting prayers in a voice as thin as a mosquito, or bowing slightly towards the direction of the cathedral.

"It seems that we don't need to debate any more. A verdict that is difficult for the criminals themselves to argue has been handed down..."

As he said that, Pope Evangelista XI cast his gaze on Ozwald, seeming to already know that he had been opened to the door by the Lord in the still time and space just now, and he could move freely and watch. Everything is like that.

It was precisely because of the Pope's actions that, except for the lost Andorn, everyone's eyes gradually focused on Ozwald, including Fiametta, who was not Sakota, and the fallen man. Mostima, both of them looked over as the crowd followed.

It wasn't until Ozwald couldn't stand being stared at by everyone that he nodded to the Pope with a tigerish face. This was able to end this somewhat embarrassing status quo.

Although they knew that Oswald, as an outsider, would never be able to speak on such an important occasion and time, based on the importance that the Laterans believed in God, they still subconsciously sought confirmation from him about God. The fact that he had just arrived and confronted Andorn had gone through the proper process.

So the final verdict is - Andorn, the sinner who betrayed his compatriots, will not be put to death.

Because death has no meaning to him now, the man named Andorn has never felt that death would be a punishment for himself. It can even be said that based on the incident in Tidestone Town, he already felt that he was a person who deserved to die. people.

Death cannot repay the damage he caused to the other three teammates, and it cannot undo the drastic changes they suffered as a result and the difference between their original bright future... The happiness of others taken away by Andorn must also be taken away by him. Take [retribution] for your own suffering

"Therefore, please help me, Lord Metatron."

"Yes, according to the law and the will of God; now the guilty are punished."

Standing up from his position, and after performing a religious etiquette to the Pope and the archangels, Metatron stepped to Andorn's side;

During this period, as he raised his dominant right hand and made a virtual grip with his five fingers, the Yang Yan condensed and spread in Sakota's hand, turning into a long sword made entirely of light.The blade of the sword burned brightly, emitting a divine aura, as if the sun was shining here.

Metatron held the Sun Flame Blade and slashed down at Andorn, who seemed to have noticed something and raised his head to look at him.

After the sword was slashed, in front of people's eyes, Andorn's halo and half of the light wings as Sakhota began to burn with raging flames and were burned; it was at this moment that Sakhota The sympathetic link that the Ta tribe must have subsequently dissipated, and the feeling of helplessness and loneliness that followed was like being in a whirlpool in the sea, causing him to suffer pain that was equivalent to falling from heaven.

"Starting from today, Rutland will issue a wanted order for the Winged One named Andorn to all the countries of Terra, and reveal to the world your betrayal and harm to your comrades... In the rest of your life, you will suffer a lot. The contempt and scorn of the outside world, being chased by hunters who are hunting for the money that your head represents, until your life comes to an end... this is your punishment, spend your whole life to repay it. .”

But at the same time, this is also a relief - if he can regain his wishful thinking after being destroyed by the truth that [Sakota's "faith" is a racial talent and not really a gift of "faith"], and think from the bottom of his heart For people, faith is so important that it can change, save the suffering people, and enjoy paradise. So in such a desperate situation, it is an excellent opportunity to implement and verify your long-cherished wish.

Experience the worst pain in the world, taste all the pain and hostility, let others accept you again, and truly accept others... Even if you cannot save the world, the salvation of yourself as a human being is not far away.

Of course, if he couldn't regain his faith and let the bounty hunter cut off his head in such self-destruction, that would be his own choice.Rutland no longer cared about the death of such a fellow.

——Such a verdict, for the Sakota people who know how terrible it is to lose empathy, will agree with the horror that is worse than death; but for Fiameta, this is not the Sakota Tripoli , even though he accepted the sentence that Andorn would have to suffer for the rest of his life, he still felt that it would be more satisfying to kill him directly.

In general, the benevolent sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom.

And after Andorn was crushed by the gun cavalry, the next person to be judged was another sinner.

"Fallen Angel Mostema, although you have now been cleared of your grievances and proved that you were forced to shoot and stop Andorn in order to protect Lemuan; but one code after another, your fallen angel is still It is an undisputed crime, and Rutland must punish it to serve as a warning to future generations... Do you have any complaints?"

"No, Your Holiness."

Facing the Pope's question, Mostima calmly shook his head.He was not at all dissatisfied with the fact that he had to be executed because Andorn caused his fall to heaven.

She had already thought about a lot of things during the time in prison when Wu Lie was imprisoned and awaiting sentencing... For a guy like this, she didn't need to be an important friend, and it was not worth being angry with him.In this way, after the deconstruction was completed, Mostima no longer felt any grievances, and had the indifference of a bystander towards his fall from grace. He even felt happy that he could finish things earlier so that he would have to endure less loneliness in the future. .

After all, from Fiametta, who often came to visit, she had already learned the news that Lemuan had been treated and improved, which was enough to make the big stone that had been hanging in Mostema's heart finally fall to the ground.

Currently, the only thing that can be called hope or regret for Mostima is Fiameta's side - because of the violent resistance to the arrest of the fallen angels, the Preparatory Gun Cavalry can become a full-time soldier. It was said that he was in trouble; in the future of his life, perhaps the captain of the garrison would be the pinnacle that Fiameta could reach.

Considering the unlimited prospects that the three of them had, the result was so terrible that they would regret it for the rest of their lives. .

But this matter may not be without some improvement.

You know, for fans like them who often watched the games and news back then, [the leader of the Knights of the Round Table was a very kind-hearted classical knight who would basically always respond to the weak who came to ask for help. This has long been known; especially in this incident, it can be seen from the fact that he, who has nothing to do with Rutland, actually participated in the treatment of the unconscious Lemuan.

With the way he is now on good terms with the great celestial beings, and with the right to speak that is valued by the Lord, if he can say a few words for Fiametta, then the Pope and Lord Ullie will definitely be kind to him. Go ahead and turn a blind eye and let Fiametta become the official gunslinger - after all, even if there is a small stain, the first Tripoli gunship is a choice that has great benefits for Rutland. .All I have to do is find a way to redeem myself and make meritorious deeds, and my year-end performance must be twice that of others.

And thinking about it, even if Rutland had no tolerance for fallen angels in the past, he should still have a chance to explain his funeral affairs to relatives like Fiametta before he died; when the time came, he would definitely leave it to others. He explained this matter in his last words, and also asked Lemuan to supervise her to prevent Fiametta's character from causing trouble again.

Well, even though he deceived a gentleman for the sake of his friend's future, it still made Mostima feel a little bit sorry.

"I'm sorry, Captain. Although you have helped us so much, I have switched my fans from Snitz to you, but now I really don't have time, so I can only repay you in my next life..."

She thought to herself, and nodded to Fiametta, who was next to her with her mouth tightly pursed and her eyes even more foggy; then she turned her head and showed an apologetic smile to Ozwald, who was watching the show with his hands folded. The little red dragon was a little confused, and subconsciously tilted his head and said a small "Huh?" 'Voice.

Why is this blue-haired Sakota bitch smiling like this at me?It made it seem like she was about to send it.

At the same time, the sound of Pope Evangelista XI's verdict on Mostima was already echoing in the hall.

"...It is pronounced that due to his unforgivable sin, the fallen angel Mastima will never be allowed to set foot in the city of Lateran again, except with the permission of an emergency recall. Every firearm used in his future actions, It must also be used with the permission of the accompanying supervisor!"
