Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

"Report everyone's location. How is the preparation of supplies going? Do you need me to mobilize manpower from other places for you?"

[yes!Your Excellency Lancelot is still completing the final handover procedures in Colombia. Your Excellency Gawain has joined me and is working with Ms. Bedivere to persuade Mr. Marner to accept the title of Knight of the Round Table; and I am currently working with Ms. Bedivere. The shipment of compressed food and other supplies is being carried out outside the territory of Candlekeep. If there are no sudden small natural disasters in the process, it is expected to arrive at your side at the end of December - above! ]

"Haha, do you really deserve to be an outstanding person after graduating from the Royal Military Academy? Choosing Victoria in the first battle and poaching you from Londinium was a correct decision. The empty-framed Imperial Guards who stayed there were just like a gangster. What's the point of being a school official waiting to die? Right, Geraint."

[Please don’t mention the helplessness in the past. Your Highness, I am just your knight now. I only hope to do the work that a soldier should do by your side to free my hometown from the control of the exiled demons. Liberation... Please understand, Your Highness, I grew up in Londinium after all. ]

"Don't worry, you will get what you want, Geraint. Okay, I have to board a plane here and it's very noisy. Just hang up first."

Standing on the edge of the take-off platform of the Gantry rental helicopter; while talking to the knight on the other end of the phone, the man with four sharp angles on the side of his head and a particularly huge pair of men on top entered the cabin and gestured to the waiting crew that they could launch.

After receiving the employer's instructions, the mechanical beast was quickly launched.

The helicopter rotors roared across the sky and rotated at an almost continuous line, greedily devouring the high-purity liquid source stone and creating huge wind pressure, which also carried Ozwald towards the Rhode Island ship.

But to be honest, Ozwald had never ridden on this kind of gold-eating beast before. When he was a child, he could ride one but had no need for it. Later, even if he wanted to, he didn't have the time to do so.

After all, he was also a pure-blooded red dragon that had been officially declared extinct by Victoria officials nearly 30 years ago.The authentic Londinium flag.

Therefore, it was the first time in Ozwald's resume to see the vast wilderness below from the helicopter window, and to look down at the earth from such a perspective.

But to put it bluntly, the scenery in the sky is just like this, and it is commonplace.

So instead of continuing to 'overlook the scenery' here, the young Red Dragon King quickly turned his attention away from the boring scenery outside. After adjusting his posture slightly, he leaned back on his seat with his arms folded and entered. A short break; saving energy for a long period of work ahead.

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

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

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

Soon, as the helicopter continued to move forward, the mechanical behemoth named Rhode Island appeared, which was relatively unique for a land craft and its size could almost be called a super-small mobile city. In the red dragon's sight.

And as if to welcome the distinguished guests, the Rhode Island, which was originally traveling at high speed, had gradually come to a stop.

As the Rhode Island came to a complete stop and the helicopter approached, the helicopter pilot began to connect with Rhode Island and prepared to land under guidance.

As we got closer, we could see the people coming and going on the Rhode Island's deck, some people gathering near the landing point, and the ground crew guiding the landing.

Under the command of the responsible team, the helicopter coming from the gantry slowly landed and stopped at the landing point; then, as the rotor rotation gradually slowed down and stopped, the hired helicopter pilot also took off the headphones, He shouted to the red dragon who opened his eyes with him: "Your Excellency, you can go down now."

"Okay, thanks for your hard work."

Saying goodbye to the strangers whose names he didn't even know and who only met because of a brief journey; Ozwald then checked his belongings... But that being said, except for these clothes and some small things, Nowadays, the only thing that can be called a salute is the sword that was given as a departure gift from the hero who once saved the country. Its commemorative significance is far greater than other swords.

After taking it out of the storage rack and skillfully hanging the 'Broken Steel' that had not been pulled out for a long time around his waist, Ozwald walked towards the receptionist in Rhode Island.

Seeing Ozwald approaching, they reacted quickly. The leader, a Sakaz, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to the red dragon - this Sakaz was wearing a Rhode Island uniform. The uniform, the face is delicate and even somewhat similar to that of a woman, but from the body shape, it can still be seen that he should be a man, and his clothes are relatively simple. There are not many weapons and equipment visible on his body, only on his waist. A bone pen.

Rhode Island's elite operator, LOGOS.

(Unfortunately, the King of Rhodes Island does not have a standing painting, but the King of Power does not need to land, landing will only affect his pretense)

"I hope my arrival does not cause any trouble to you, Mr. Logos." Holding the other party's palm, Ozwald smiled at the member of the old Tower of Babel and the eldest daughter of one of the Ten Kings of Kazdaele. The demon's adopted son praised him politely.

"It is truly an honor to have the honor to shake hands and speak with you, a powerful sorcerer who is rare in this world."

"You are very complimentary, Mr. Ozwald. It is precisely because of the arrival of such a distinguished guest as you that a small pharmaceutical company like ours in Rhode Island is even more glorious and proud." logos respectfully Answer: "What's more, from the perspective of your mental fluctuations, you and I are like fireflies compared to the bright moon... I am a rare and powerful warlock in this world. I really dare not claim it in front of you."

After the polite words when the two parties met, they quickly turned into the real thing.

"Although we dare not compare with the scale and manpower of the Rutland International Medical Column, Rhode Island has always taken the treatment of infected people as its own responsibility... Accordingly, regarding the contract you proposed, Mr. Ozwald , we should be willing to help as much as we can.

However, in recent days, we in Rhode Island have our own important matters to deal with. I am afraid that this matter will not be accepted until we have dealt with our own problems to ensure that we live up to your expectations. "

"In addition, the specific method of cooperation needs to be left for further discussion later. This aspect of the matter cannot be finalized by me as a receptionist; therefore, can you also ask Mr. Ozwald to move inside the ship? Why don't we wait for the leader of our company to arrive and discuss the details with you?"

"Of course that's no problem. Mr. Logos."

For such a reasonable argument, Ozwald naturally has no reason to get entangled.

"Thank you for your understanding, Lord Ozwald. Please follow the operator. She will take you to the reception hall. If you have any needs later, you can also convey them to us through her."

logos says so.Following his words, the blond Kuranta girl in the team beside him who had been paying attention to Ozwald for a long time also came out and greeted him with a smile.

"Long years no see, Uncle Ozwald."

"Ah, it's been a long time indeed, little Linguang."

The Legend of King Arthur of Genterra - The Last Day of Qicheng: 3 on the Negotiation Table (Additional update, two in one)

They are really nostalgic and familiar faces.

This was the first thought in Ozward's heart when he saw the visitor while chatting with Margaret about Casimir, especially the trivial matters of the Linguang family.

Walking in from the main entrance were several ordinary attendants wearing Rhode Island uniforms and a petite Carter with brown hair and a pair of bunny ears that was gently swaying, also wearing a Rhodes Island uniform. s;

And standing on the right hand side of this Carters is Dr. Kelsey, the famous president of Bridge University, whom even Ozwald, a skipper, has heard of many times. Of course, more The most familiar one is probably that this green lynx is a loyal supporter of the former Demon King of Kazdare, and its Riddler, who can't speak even half a human word and can drive ghosts to death, oh, or the Eagle Whisperer label. Bar.

Or, meat pigeons & red mist environment ()

"Good day, Your Excellency Amiya. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to talk to this unpretentious visitor of mine."

While remembering the little donkey's face that was almost engraved into his DNA, Ozwald also stood up from the sofa, walked towards her, and stretched out his hand.

At this time, the Carters girl who was surrounded by the middle looked at Oswald walking over to say hello. She did not respond as a matter of course, but glanced at Kelsey almost subconsciously.

However, the expressionless Kelsey just stood there silently, only glancing at Amiya when she first looked at her, and then continued to stare at Oswald, the fingers of her hands hanging by her sides unconsciously moving gently. Hitting on the leg, it was as if he was trying to figure out how to exert force.

"Uh...well, welcome to Rhode Island, Lord Ozwald."

Carters, or Amiya, the public leader of Rhode Island, who was directly called out by name, reacted under Kelsey's gaze and quickly returned the greeting with some restraint. At the same time, she tried her best to recall that Dr. Kelsey asked her to recite it. The draft plan for receiving foreign guests: "As a medical company, Rhode Island is willing to help every mineral patient who needs treatment. We welcome you, like Mr. Ozwald, who is willing to do your best for the lives of infected people." Like-minded people."

At the same time, when Amiya was answering, she also stepped forward to shake hands with Ozwald out of courtesy.The outstretched hand is wearing a close-fitting glove, and you can even see the appearance of rings on the five fingers of the delicate little hand wrapped underneath. It is worth mentioning that the other hand has no gloves. You can directly see the five rings also worn on your fingers.

It seems that whether it is a habit or some other reason, Amiya or Rhode Island has become accustomed to being the public leader of the infected and trying to avoid direct contact with VIPs who are not ore patients - maybe it is because this kind of thing has happened before Something not so good?

"Besides, just call me Amiya."

Amiya seemed a little embarrassed when she called Ozwald. "I'm still...well, I'm not very used to other people using honorifics to me...well, I'm sorry..."

Obviously, this immature public leader still lacks training.He cannot calmly accept that he has a more noble status than nearly 90.00% of the people in this continent of Terra.

Even if in the eyes of the real people in power, it is just a laughing stock that is close to an empty shell——

But a king is a king, right?

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Amiya."

Facing the young devil's overture, Ozwald smiled and reached out to hold Amiya's hand. After shaking it gently a few times, he quickly let go... It was not that he disliked people infected with oriosis, but that Based on etiquette, I don’t have too many ambiguous contacts with relatively unfamiliar women.

Especially when the other party is only 14 years old and a minor.

"But I still hope you can forgive me."

Ozwald looked at Amiya in front of him:

"After all, at least for now, in this transaction that is likely to exceed your upper limit, I am the one asking for help; Rhode Island can refuse to accept my entrustment, but it is difficult for me to find someone. There are too many personal companies like Rhode Island that don’t have to worry about gossip... So on such an occasion, I still have to maintain respect for you."

Amiya glanced at Kelsey carefully again, but Kelsey still maintained the same posture and expression, just watching the conversation between Amiya and Ozwald, as if she didn't intend to talk.

"Well, this..."

Forced as a last resort, the young public leader had no choice but to bite the bullet on his own. While listening to Ozwald's words, he tried hard to think of what to say and how to respond next.

While making a micro-movement to Amiya saying "You can choose your words slowly", Ozwald continued to speak about the commission.

"Although I also want those people to come to Rhode Island to receive the most comprehensive treatment now, and I am willing to bear all the funds for them; but unfortunately, not all infected people can show up calmly. This The world's fear and oppression of them has caused most infected people to lose trust in others."

"And this is also the status quo that I must change in the future. But when the time comes, I hope you won't resent the number of infected people I sent. If you can accept it, I think I will work with you. You achieve long-term and dedicated medical insurance.”

"…this."

After hearing Ozwald's words, Amiya looked a little surprised for a moment; while Kelsey's eyes flickered a little, but her face remained mostly expressionless.

"...Uh, you mean, Lord Ozwald also hopes to change the current situation of infected people? And may a large number of infected people be sent to Rhode Island for treatment in the future?"

Amiya thought for a moment, and then said sincerely: "If this is the case, then Rhode Island will naturally provide full assistance. As long as it is an ore patient who does not have an excessively bad history, we are willing to provide treatment first;

and--"

Just when Amiya was about to continue saying something, she suddenly swallowed her words because she noticed that Kelsey took a step forward.

"As Amiya said, if Lord Ozwald and all your Knights of the Round Table have such ambitions, Rhode Island will naturally evaluate the specific situation and provide corresponding help."

Kelsey spoke for the first time and directly took over Amiya's words. She walked forward and stood beside Amiya. She still looked at the red dragon in front of her with the same expressionless expression.

"But, with all due respect, Lord Ozwald."

Kelsey changed the subject.

"With the power you possess as Casimir's most prestigious knight team [Round Table], and even you yourself, I question whether you really need the help of a small pharmaceutical company like Rhode Island in this regard. Doubtful, after all, I have heard... The King of the Knights of the Round Table has always been on good terms with Lateran officials, and because he has developed a variety of healing spells and sold them for free, he enjoys a high reputation among the international medical corps. In this way, you , there should be no shortage of places to treat infected people.”

"Or is this just your personal idea?"

"If you're interested, you can take a guess, Dr. Kelsey.

At least the apparent purpose of my trip is still the same as before [to seek a happy future for my friends and followers who suffer from mineral sickness]. "

Facing Kelsey's question, Ozwald kept smiling and narrowed his eyes slightly, looking quite helpless at Kelsey asking such a question.

Then, Ozwald turned to look at Amiya again and asked with a gentle smile.

"Then, according to the previous entrustment, should Rhode Island draw up the contract or should I?"

"I think it would be better for us to do it. This will make it easier for you to have a clearer understanding of Rhode Island's related matters and avoid misunderstandings. So can you please wait a moment? Ozwald gentlemen."

Amiya subconsciously wanted to turn her eyes and look at Kelsey beside her, but when she saw that the respected Dr. Kelsey had no intention of speaking, Little Rabbit was relieved in her heart after basically receiving the acquiescence, and then He trotted out of the hall and went to the archives room not far away to prepare relevant contracts.

Although this was a document that she, a public leader, should have prepared long ago and handed it to the other party to sign after the negotiation was complete; but after all, in Amiya's heart, the doctor's existence is too important to be replaced. , so she, who had been arguing with Kelsey about going to Checheng to rescue the doctor, inevitably put down all the tasks that needed to be handled today... Before talking to Ozwald, she didn't even know that this The leader of the Knights of the Round Table has arrived in Rhode Island, and even said that he would spend his own money to treat a large number of infected people.

However, this sudden panic caused by the incident was within the scope of Kelsey's needs;

Only after Amiya, the leader of the public, temporarily left due to force majeure; as just a "leader of a medical project", could she talk to the King of Drak in front of her about serious matters that were not suitable for children to know without appearing to be overbearing.

And this is why she let Amia run away and ask Ozwald.

This was the invisible tacit understanding between her and the red dragon.

"To be honest, Kelsey. You have protected this child so well; and precisely because of your presence, calling her the public leader of Rhode Island seems redundant and even a bit ridiculous."

Sitting back in the position where they first met, Ozwald rested his chin on his hand, looked at the door where Amiya left, and said to Kelsey without turning his head.

"At least you should teach her not to let her true emotions be too exposed when talking to others."

So far, Amiya, as the public leader of Rhode Island, has looked at Kelsey without hesitation several times when faced with choices, expecting to get answers and seek opinions from her.

This is extremely undesirable behavior for the leader of an organization or force, especially a being like Little Rabbit who will eventually become the devil.It will undoubtedly make onlookers question whether the boss has the right to speak or whether he is just a puppet being manipulated.

Even if you feel at a loss in your heart, your face must show that you are wise; if you don't know how to decide, then you need to say nothing - an arrogant but confident king, even if there is no idea in his heart It is far better to have a good policy than to follow others' lead.

What's more, in this kind of negotiation between two parties, the momentum and decisiveness that the leader of one party can show is very important; that can often win more benefits for one's side, or avoid more losses.

For example, when Amiya was preparing to send infected people for treatment in Ozwald just now, she was so kind-hearted that after hearing that there were still people who were willing to help the infected, she showed such a frank and almost heart-wrenching attitude... If Kelsey hadn't jumped the gun, let her continue talking.

As long as Oswald has a dark heart, there is no need to sign the contract now, and there is no need to pay even after the treatment - anyway, you, the public leader, said that you would [fully support], so in this case, here With such grand aspirations, it would be too cliché to talk about money (seriously).

"So you really should teach her these things, Dr. Kelsey."

"She doesn't need to be exposed to these nastiness, as long as we adults can help her bear it. Besides, if you are so sincere, Lord Ozwald, you can use your experience of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages in Casimir. Share it with that kid." Kelsey said expressionlessly.

"Okay, but only if you, Rhode Island, who are called a medical company but are actually Kazdaele's exile party, really have the guts to hire me~~~"

Faced with Ozwald's teasing, Kelsey didn't argue much. She just glanced at the former with a playful look and let out a vague chuckle, as if she was silently conveying, "Then just wait." ! ' means; then, she opened a cabinet in the hall with ease.

"Need something to drink?"

"It's up to you, Lord Kelsey."

Casually, Red Dragon completely left the preparation of tea for guests to Kelsey.After all, this can be regarded as an unwritten rule and etiquette among nobles - drinking the tea prepared by the host in person means considerable trust in the host; for this reason, the host must also ensure the personal safety of the guests during their stay.

Although such behavior has huge hidden dangers when the other party clearly has harmful intentions, it is undoubtedly an excellent way to express one's sincerity at the negotiation table.

And after taking a few sips of the tea he prepared in front of Kelsey, Kelsey nodded slightly in an almost imperceptible manner;

At this point, Ozwald officially entered the topic.

It can even be said that it seems a bit straightforward.

"Alexandlina Victoria, where is she?"
