Hello, Arknights

Chapter 296: Those who came with you; Return to the competition venue

"Marks...Casimir currency? Where did you get them?" Before Lukasech could even shake off the dust from the journey, he discovered that a Sarkaz had brought back a bunch of currency after making a few rounds in the nearby villages.

"As a person, there are always a few 'friends' who happen to be found when I want to find them. It's just a little bleeding."

"It's really miserable to be your friend..."

"It's good enough to be alive. You are all pitiful creatures who hide your head and show your tail. What's the point of keeping money?" W wiped the dagger and laughed when he heard what he said.

"...Forget it, this is your own relationship, I won't interfere - how do we determine the location of the white dove?" Lukasech is different from Wu. He is no longer at the age of getting angry. Along the way, he just asked W about her actions to make sure she would not give him a big job, and he did not interfere in anything else.

W put away her weapon and looked at the vaguely visible moving city on the distant horizon. She knew that guy was there, but... simply observing would not help her solve the confusion she had been facing... But she really had no choice. She remembered a lot of things, the vague memories of her childhood, the time when she struggled to grow up, and becoming a mercenary. She remembered everything very clearly, but her memory was missing a piece, and it was a very important piece. She still remembered many scenes, which were unforgettable, but she just couldn't remember who was by her side at the time, and why. She just simply remembered that this happened.

She also didn't remember the day when she woke up and found two swords and a note beside her. The note told her to deliver the two weapons accurately to a young man with black hair and black eyes in Qicheng Town, whose exact race could not be identified.

The note was unsigned, but she knew it was a note from an important person, and it must be someone very important in her memory. The handwriting was soft, and every time she looked at the words she seemed to remember what she had forgotten, but it was all in vain.

She followed the instructions on the note, for no other reason than that the note also stated that she wanted to know the truth, and the key lay in Ling Dengxian.

But W couldn't be more certain that this guy knew nothing and was too weak to be a powerful character.

But she didn't expect that within a few years, this guy seemed to have grown to a level that she couldn't afford to offend. Are you kidding? Even cheating is not as outrageous as this guy.

She just thought that she had misjudged him at the beginning. She had walked out of the field of life and death. The wilderness could indeed train Ling Dengxian into a no longer immature warrior, but his growth rate was indeed somewhat different from that of ordinary people.

She knew it when she witnessed "him" fighting the terrifying blood demon on the Ursus Ice Field. Although it was obvious that his condition was not right and seemed abnormal, it was enough to prove that her guess was correct. Ling Dengxian was not really the harmless creature that she could easily control with a small knife.

As long as a bomb has the potential to explode, it cannot be used as a fire poker.

"He must be in the Territory of the Great Knights of Cavalleriachi, but there's no point just finding him and staring at him."

"Didn't Wu ask us to confirm his condition?"

W turned his head and smiled: "He is in the Great Knight's territory, alive, and with a woman. Isn't that enough confirmation?"

"..."

"Besides, the purpose of my temporary cooperation with Wu is to solve the mystery surrounding me. Now I have to think of other ways out when I have time."

"For example?" Lukaszech was also thinking about what he should do. To be honest, he never quite understood who the leader of this loose organization was... He felt like he was on a pirate ship.

"Look for someone who knows part of the truth... If I remember correctly, that rigid bastard Duval has already returned to Casimir. He went there to rescue people a while ago. That guy must know something."

W didn't look for him before because she thought Ling Dengxian could help her solve her doubts quickly, but later his ridiculous navigation system really screwed her over... Plus, this guy was clueless and now she couldn't beat him...

The second reason was that she couldn't beat Dua, and Dua wanted to protect him at that time. After being warned, she still beat Ling Dengxian, so she didn't dare to show up.

But now, I think there should be no problem, after all, the person is still alive and well.

"... Duva, sounds so familiar, who is he?" The name brought back some memories for Lukaszech.

"Ah..." He raised his voice at the end of his voice and smiled again. "Oh, I almost forgot. You are from Ursus, and an elite soldier. Aren't you nervous coming to Casimir?"

The former Ursus striker was silent for a moment, sighed, and did not answer.

"The answer is very important. Duva was once a mercenary in Casimir's self-defense counterattack, and later served as a guerrilla for a period of time... If you can't make up your mind, the meeting will be 'very unpleasant'."

The "very unpleasant" that W said had a hint of blood.

"...Sword of the Wind Duva, I remember now. I remember that he once led his companions to launch a surprise attack on the Third Army during the Ten-Year War of Uka, and eventually succeeded in delaying the Third Army's offensive, buying time for the evacuation of civilians in an area." Lukasech said expressionlessly.

"Oh, you don't remember every battle in every war, do you? Could it be that you are one of those rare all-rounders in the old days?" W teased.

"No, I was involved as a member of the army at the time." Lukaszech said calmly, "It's just that no one has mentioned it for a long time. And, if I remember correctly, he and his companions were killed and wounded in a melee soon, and then disappeared. Is he still alive?"

"I'm not suitable to meet him. Soldiers coming off the battlefield are very sensitive to smells, and I can't hide it from him." Lukaszech sighed, "It's best not to meet him at all."

"So tense? Are you planning to separate?"

"Find a way to contact me when we need to reunite. I'll be on standby near the Grand Knight's Territory." Lukasech shook his head and didn't intend to go with them.

"Then be careful, you might meet the Silver Spear Pegasus, haha, it's very interesting to think about it." The fluttering figure turned and left without any hesitation. It had been a long time since she had acted alone, and she even doubted whether she was still a mercenary who could stand on her own.

Lukaszewski was silent for a moment, because... although W was just joking, to be honest, the possibility was low, but not impossible.

"I've really gotten on a pirate ship..." He somewhat regretted his original decision. He was so old and still pretended to be a teenager and had faith and hope...

Well, I've already charged it, so it's okay to go crazy for a while.

Cavalerian Arena, Cavalerian Arena.

"Dear audience, long time no see. I am your old friend Big Mouth Mob! How have you been this week? I think it must be very uncomfortable without the knight competition to enrich your life! But don't worry, we will enjoy an interesting game today - please welcome the rookie who was so brilliant in the last melee, the white flame that seemed to be shining like the light, the Platinum Knight!

"And, from the orthodox Linguang family, who has defeated many old rivals, the gentle yet tough Tianma, the Flawless Knight!"

There was a burst of enthusiasm in the audience.

"Oi fake Lin Guang! Don't lose! I really want to see how interesting it will be when the real one loses to the fake one!"

"Knight of the Flawed Light! Use your light to blind the impostor's eyes! Show him who is the rookie king!"

"I'm going all in on you, Platinum Knight! There should be more dark horses in the knight competition!"

……

Ling Dengxian really didn't like this kind of atmosphere. He seemed to smell a smell of... rust. The crowd was shouting at the top of their lungs for a sense of morale, but their purpose might not be to truly support him.

Although he didn't need such support.

With the mask on, Maria couldn't recognize him. It seemed that Margaret did not tell her sister about her specific situation.

"Okay, I won't admit defeat!"

Looking at the Pegasus with high morale, Ling Dengxian said nothing, cut the sword and scabbard of the Devourer into the ground, and then grasped the hilt of the white sword with both hands.

"At this moment, both sides are ready for battle. So, don't be stingy with your gold coins and banknotes, just as the knights are not stingy with their sweat and blood. Let's get started and let the knights feel your enthusiasm! The game begins!"
