Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

To achieve communication across mobile cities, specialized large-scale communication mobile base stations must be used.Or it may be a more mundane and common exchange of letters in the ordinary world, which takes a while.

Fortunately, now that Ozwald has the permission of the Pope, he can use the large base station in Lateran; send communication requests to Casimir and even beyond.

After the staff in Tripoli who had set up the circuit said that the communication had been connected, and based on the confidentiality and respect for the interlocutor, they exited the room and waited outside. Only then did Ozwald speak calmly to the other end of the communication. .

"wei? zaima? My Dear Lady~~"

"..."

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, why don’t you say anything, Bao’er... Do you dislike me because I can’t make enough money to buy you a little skirt... Wuuuuu, Vivian, my Vivian, Vivian...how can I live without you!"

"……Ugh."

Following the red dragon's pretentious words, the sigh of the Elafia girl came from the other end of the communication.

As the first party to be sued by the villain, Viviana, who was slightly speechless, wanted to say that although you had already negotiated a business with the Business Federation back then, so there was no shortage of funds, but these years the Black Knight has only been responsible for fighting, the Knights of the Round Table. She and the Blood Knight took care of the public relations and management...but after thinking about it, she finally gave up.

After all, it is rare to receive this direct communication from Drake, rather than a letter that I don’t know where to send for a reply. It is really a bit unconsidered to waste this time on trivial quarrels.

So she ignored the red dragon who started chanting sutras madly there, and spoke seriously in a way that was close to talking to herself about some things that were difficult to know from the outside during the period after Ozward left Casimir.

Mr. and Mrs. Snits went on a secret mission at the end of the year when Oswald ran away because of the White Wolf, and they have not returned yet; Mr. Maenna is still the same, unwilling to take up the position of the Linguang family. Last year Then he went back to acting as a ranger with his hornless Sakaz friend.

In order to fill the vacancy in the family and maintain the title of knight, Margaret plans to compete next year; but she does not hope to receive funding from the family or the Round Table, and wants to compete in the name of a personal knight.I discussed it with the Blood Knights. If that is the case, the two of them will not participate in the competition next year. On the one hand, they have no worries about their points, and on the other hand, they have to start planning their own knights. They don’t have the time and energy. After all, based on the friendship between Ozwald and the Linguang family, it would be a good thing if Margaret won the championship and entered the National Assembly as a descendant of a hero, so just treat it as a favor and give it to her.

Half a year has passed since Miss Black Knight's triple crown, and most of the contracts have expired. The remaining small number of commercial federations have sent people to express that they do not need to be enforced... Viviana guessed that they wanted to go it alone. the subsequent profits.But all in all, this also allows Miss Black Knight to leave freely without worrying about breach of contract. Besides, she also estimates that Red Dragon definitely doesn't care about this.

As for whether he should let her go to Rutland to find his master or go back to Casimir to pick her up in person, it was up to Ozward to decide.

In this way, mixed with the red dragon's responses and complaints, the time went from eight o'clock in the morning to lunch time in the chat between the two.

At this time, Viviana also mentioned a question that made the red dragon frown a little.

"But I think you'd better take some time to come back to Casimir."

At this point, Viviana's voice paused for a moment, as if she was hesitating whether to say it or not; but after much consideration, she finally said the sentence that might be slightly offensive:

"Although old Mr. Cyril's body is still strong, I always feel that he may...time is running out. Otherwise, he would not have been serving as Margaret's training guide in the past two years; and I also learned from my adoptive mother I saw their latest correspondence there.”

"That's probably... it's true."

When talking about the country-saving hero whom he respected so much and who treated him particularly well, Ozwald lost his original casualness and put on a serious look on his face.

The red dragon did not think Viviana's worries were groundless and unfounded.

At least based on his understanding of Linguang and his friends so far, Cyril Linguang, who retired from the hustle and bustle early to enjoy his old age, even if the eldest son and his wife have not been heard from due to special tasks, the position of the family leader is facing a vacancy. Even if there is a crisis, he won't have the slightest worry about it - he may watch the next generation, the growth of his granddaughter Margaret; but that should be on a sunny afternoon, when the old man lies on his rocking chair and looks into his eyes. Maria of the Stars told stories of past glory, and from time to time looked at Margaret who was training in the courtyard from the window, with a kind smile on her face, and casually corrected the mistakes in her movements... This is how it should be.

This is the life that the old man would choose.

Instead of using that old body to personally train Margaret... just for the knight competition she will participate in next year.

After all, it was just like the confession that Ozward heard repeatedly from the mouths of the father and son.

As the pinnacle of the country of knights, the Linguang family as a golden-blooded Pegasus never cared about whether they were called a knight family or not.

For Lin Guang, who abides by principles and is strict with himself, a true knight should be reflected through his own will and deeds. He should be proud of his superiors but not bully his subordinates, and be strong but not bully... Just like this generation Like an inherited skill, it shines brightly.

The so-called knight is not an honor that can be given to those businessmen who only care about money and fame, and the media that has been corrupted by them.

But now Cyril is beginning to worry about Margaret's grades.

Maybe the old man, who has gone through countless battlefields in his life and knows the meaning of death but still sticks to his faith, has sensed the coming destiny.

Therefore, he wanted to do something more for the children at home in his last little time; and then leave all the remaining experience and skills he had to these children he loved.

Thinking of this, Ozwald sighed in his heart and spoke in a deep voice.

"I know, I'll be there within a week."

"A week?!"

The Candle Knight on the other end of the communication let out an exclamation.

"Is this okay? Although Victoria's Royal Court of Aslan fell the year before last, Oz, aren't you...!?"

"In fact, the original intention of my communication was to tell you this. Vivian.

After talking to you, my next communication partner will be Colombia. "

"...Columbia, I remember you there, um, I understand. Oz, I understand, it seems you have made your decision. So what do you want me to do?"

"My plan is to take you and the Black Knight, as well as the people I have met in the past two years, to disappear from people's eyes for a while to accumulate the necessary strength for what we are going to do and the challenges we face. Just in time. It will also take time to start construction in Colombia.”

Ozward breathed a sigh of relief. When he thought about the things he planned to do and where he would go, his heart beat faster involuntarily, and his chest was filled with fear and excitement about uncertainty.

"I've said it before, this training session will be very dangerous. Vivian, you can use the strength of the bastard Ma Enna as a basic reference in the year I left, which is 1087 - this level is not even enough to protect yourself. . I don’t know how you and the Black Knight are doing now, but in short, I will try my best to protect you in the early stage, and wait until you get used to it before trying more."

"That sounds really dangerous, Oz."

"But after all, only in such a high-pressure and desperate environment that does not need to be affected by the troubles of the world can human potential be rapidly developed and we can achieve sufficient results. Isn't it?"

While gently tracing the metal shell of the communicator from top to bottom with his fingers, Ozwald nodded subconsciously.

"Of course, because it's so dangerous, I don't force you to follow me. Although there will definitely be a gap between you and us involved guys, I will still give you some ideas when I come back, so it doesn't matter. There’s no need to worry too much… In short, I’m just watching you choose.”

"Is that so..."

After saying this, Viviana on the other end of the communication became silent again.

But as two people who were familiar with each other, Ozwald seemed to be able to see the beautiful girl with blond hair through the air in front of him. In the midst of repeated struggles and choices, he closed his eyes, kept breathing in the air, and frowned repeatedly. Relaxed and wrinkled appearance.

For Viviana Drost, who is determined to become a knight in the book to protect others instead of a protected princess, this is a very important decision after all.

If she chooses to go with her, then for a long period of time, her 'weak' self will inevitably become a burden to the team and suffer accommodations that make her feel uncomfortable; but if she does not participate in the training camp, the strength gap will be further exacerbated. Making future battles a fantasy... This was not in line with Viviana's desire to stand side by side with the red dragon, rather than "relying" on its power.

Ozwald also understood this, so he did not rush the thinking girl.Just wait quietly for the other person's choice.

Time just passed by in the silence on both ends of the communication.

After nearly half a quarter of an hour passed, Ozwald heard a sigh.

"I'll stay, Oz. Just take Miss Black Knight with you."

"...Vivian."

Calling the other party's name softly, Hong Long opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say for a moment. .

But as a result, he met the other party's anger.

"What are you doing! Why do you have to look like [you are wronged to make this choice]?! I made such a decision after thinking about it seriously."

In her small castle, Viviana stamped her feet vigorously and hummed angrily.

"Listen! Oz, you need someone to stay, do you understand? If you really want to do what you plan to do, then you must have someone to ensure that the Knights of the Round Table or yourself position in people's hearts. If You take all of us away, and when you come back many years later and start taking action, all you have is Miss Black Knight's three consecutive championships, an 'old' legend that is only circulated in a small circle, you know What!"

In the three years since the Red Dragon left, the Black Knight and the Candle Knight, who were accustomed to the existence of the Round Table but could not replicate the attitude of his leader, although they still have high voices among the lower class people of Casimir, they have already lived up to 1084 It was a grand event when it was first established in the year.Especially when Mr. Blood Knight and his Infected Knights are established, a huge part will be taken away - because at that time everyone is busy accumulating strength, but can no longer help them and make them feel as before. The round table is nearby.In this way, there is no guarantee that it will not be biased towards others.

But if you want a mobile city to operate or even become viable, tens of thousands of people alone are definitely not enough.You need more people, more people who will worship you, believe in you, and gather because of you.And the shorter the gathering time, the greater the advantage.

The future Ozwald will never be short of strength.But he needs someone who can expand the story of the Knights of the Round Table and tell your hometown of Victoria, or even other places... the legend of the Chosen King.

And that's not something you can do just by adding one more powerful person to your team.

"...I know, just do what you want to do, Vivian. I will provide all the funds needed." A smile appeared on the red dragon's face: "Do it well, my Bedeway you."

"Huh? Bedivere? What do you mean?"

"It's the codename of the Knight of the Round Table~ For example, I plan to ask the Black Knight to call her Gawain."

"That's not bad, Oz. It saves her from saying that she doesn't need useless things like names every day; Miss Black Knight will never refuse what you give her."

Viviana complained about the legend who achieved Casimir's unprecedented three consecutive championships, and then returned to the original topic.

"In short, that's it. I will stay in Casimir and help you expand the reputation of the Knights of the Round Table. After all, now that Aslan's court has disappeared, the adoptive mother no longer needs to maintain the original high pressure. This will be very convenient. ; And with the melody you taught me, I don’t necessarily lag far behind you. After all, I believe that I still have some talent in music... Hum, don’t find out that I am better than you all then. ~~"

With her playful tone at the end of her words, Ozwald could imagine her winking at him.His face was full of showing off and pride.

But who is he?

That's definitely something I'm not used to.

"It will take you about 50 years to get power beyond mine from the genealogy. After all, this thing only teaches you how to better understand spells and releases, and increases your upper limit, but it will not make you stronger directly."

"..."

"..."

"This is just a statement! It's just rhetoric! Uh-huh--why don't you know how to please a girl?! If this continues, I won't help you!

Really! !How come I met you, a guy like you who pretends to be confused every day, when you need help the most? !Go back to Casimir quickly, and then stay with me for one more week!Did you hear me!If you dare to refuse you, I will announce the dissolution of the Round Table tomorrow, and that’s it; I’m going to have lunch, hum! ! "

Without giving the other party a chance to reply, Viviana quickly ended the communication.

The red dragon, whose facial features were left wrinkled together, shook his head slightly, began to greet the staff outside the door, and began to assume communication to Colombia.

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

Compared with the long porridge cooking with Viviana because they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, there wasn’t much to mention about the communication with the Colombian side. It was difficult for the two parties who lacked familiarity to communicate too closely; because it was just in person. After checking the identity and confirming the ability to pay, and completing discussions on when to start work, product details and even the withdrawal time, the communication ended after a few simple greetings.

As soon as he pushed open the door of the communication room, Ozwald saw Ravshini sitting on a metal bench.

At first he thought the girl was calling him to have lunch, but it turned out not to be the case.

This time she came to say goodbye to herself.

"I'm going back to Victoria to report to my sister, Your Highness."

More than a year has passed since she found Ozwald Artoris in late 1088; considering the initial schedule of the mission, it was not unacceptably long, but it had already reached the point where the sister she knew had arrived. The time limit that can be expected.

Even during this period of time with Ozwald, Lavshini could be said to be the most relaxed and at ease time since the night of the genocide; and Shenchi also had no concern for what she did.

But she is her relative after all.

Even though there was a clear gap in the comparison, Ravshini still held some almost fantasy thoughts and could not completely abandon her blood relative.

Because after all, she is not a real deep pool that regards blood as nothing and extracts value from her relatives; she is just a 'shadow' wearing a false coat.

"I don't want to sound like a Stockholm person, but you're certainly making me a little, or rather, difficult to deal with right now, Ravshini."

Ozwald looked at the expressionless girl in front of him and scratched his head in annoyance.

If he forcefully rejects her request, it would be contrary to his wish for Ravshini to have more, and it would appear that he is saying one thing and doing another.

But based on what he already knew about her sister, if he allowed Lafshini to go back, it would be like letting her go to the cliff, which would undoubtedly be a somewhat irresponsible behavior towards her.

Thinking about it like this, even the good mood after having sex with Viviana for a long time and settling the business deal in Colombia dissipated.

"Can you please stop giving me this kind of multiple-choice question?"

"I'm sorry to have caused you any distress, Your Highness."

"If you really want to apologize, just change your words, okay? Even if you say you're going to travel to Victoria to shovel some dirt on the grave of the stupid () King Aslan."

"I'm sorry, Your Highness."

Ravshini said softly.

As expected, she still hoped to chat with her sister again... Or maybe it was precisely because she felt the care and protection from the clan king in front of her, and after regaining the feeling of "home" that she had almost forgotten, Lafxi Nicai hopes to have something to say to her only family now, hoping that her sister can stop living in that wrong way and change.

Even though this idea is stupid and unrealistic, and she can even imagine that her future is not good, she still has a trace of fantasy in her heart.

It can also be said that she has not been completely disappointed in her sister, so...

"Think about it again, this road is going to be hell! Girl."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. But I still hope you can approve my departure."

"If you are so insistent...I will have no choice but to order you to survive no matter what happens."

Ozwald stretched out his right hand and touched Ravshini's cheek, and sighed:

"If your sister wants to do something to you, tell her what I said and tell her not to kill you under any circumstances. I can protect you for a while, and then... wait until I come back. Just deal with it."

"Yes, I will try my best to live until the day you come to take me away; please don't worry about me."

"Idiot...how could you not be worried..."

Although I wish I could parachute right in front of the female dragon who didn't know where she was hiding, grab her by the collar and confront her face to face, and then rip off the head of this woman who doesn't take her family seriously with just a few words. ,

But Ozwald endured it in the end.

For no other reason than to say that she wanted her sister to die in front of Ravshini.
