Hello, Arknights

Chapter 306 Broken Rust Copper

As the day of the special championship drew closer, every fierce match of the Knights touched the hearts of the spectators who were paying attention to the event. The defeated Knights quickly disappeared from the public eye, the front page of the Red Wine News changed again and again, and the "Platinum Knight" was just a flash in the pan. After he missed the individual competitions many times and avoided fighting, the Knights Association even seriously considered whether to disqualify him because of his negative attitude. However, due to the existence of a Nightmare with an even more eccentric personality, the matter was left unresolved. But correspondingly, he gradually faded out of the hot topic.

But today's game is different.

Ling Dengxian's whereabouts have been erratic these days, as if he is worried. Even Shuangye and others are not sure where he has gone. Huang did not ask, and Texas did what he should do, assisting Yedao and Heijiao in contacting the Red Pine Knights.

Surtur was completely bored. He and Nightingale occasionally went out to buy some daily necessities, and the rest of the time he just watched the knight competitions on TV.

"Where's the white dove?"

"He left early this morning, but he didn't say what he was going to do... To be honest, I don't like the way hesitant he is now. It's not fun at all."

"So what does Surtel like about him?"

"He's usually very nice. He looks soft but is actually hard when you hit him. Apart from his annoying way of talking, he's actually a very nice person." S'Ertel turned over on the sofa where Ling had slept before, and lay on it with his legs swinging as he read a book.

"Then Miss Surtel, the type you like is quite special." Frost Leaf shook his ears and complained.

The Sarkaz girl was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage: "I mean, he's usually more pleasing to the eye than he is now!"

Shuang Ye shrank his neck: "I don't think this guy is very reliable. Although he was very timely in helping Senior Huang and Senior Dexa, I still have to say that Bai Ge is not very reassuring..."

No matter who sees his poor sense of direction, it would be difficult to easily entrust him with an important task, right? Only Dr. Kal'tsit did this, which is hard to refute, but it is indeed quite puzzling...

"Is today also his match date?" Nightingale changed the subject.

"Yes, turn on the TV and see what he is up to today... His opponent is the Rusted Bronze Knight." Surtur pressed the power button and muttered, "It's this guy, he only knows how to bully the weak, and when he encounters a strong opponent, he lets people from the same knight order take on the challenge... In fact, I'm looking forward to someone beating him up."

On TV, Olmer, who had arrived at the arena early, was staring at the entrance right in front of him. He looked down on the Platinum Knights, who clearly had the strength but still avoided fighting. Now that they were standing on this arena, did they still have to act so aloof?

"It seems that there are not as many friends in the audience as in previous periods. Haha, that's right. The Platinum Knight, who had previously shown great style, has repeatedly failed to show up, which has disappointed many friends. This is inconsistent with his previous outstanding record and is a bit strange. However, the Knights Association will pay attention to the abnormal performance of each Knight. In the future, the Platinum Knight will conduct drug tests after every game to ensure...

"The fairness and justice of our glorious knightly tournament!"

The voice of Big Mouth Mob is still as noisy as before, but the pace of those who have made a decision will not be affected by it.

Olmer felt as if he had been tricked.

What are you disdainful of? Do you think you are not a commodity with a clear price tag? Or are you just being pedantic and sticking to the chivalrous code that will starve you to death?

"Money. Without money, you are nothing."

"Background. Without background, what does it matter if you have strength? Can you be better than the Black Knight?"

Olmer threw down the battle axe with disdain. He thought of an interesting idea. It happened that the old man in his family kept complaining about him not giving him face.

His actions attracted everyone's attention. He turned to face the audience and shouted:

"If this coward still doesn't show up, then I will admit defeat! I am truly ashamed to compete with a weakling!"

"The teachings of the Ingra family told me that this is the quality a knight should have!"

Olmer closed his eyes, but did not receive the response from the audience as he had imagined.

After a moment, he realized something, opened his eyes and turned around. Standing quietly at the entrance of the track was a knight with a light build.

Watching the somewhat unreal armor slowly moving in accordance with the wearer's movements, the knight who had been absent from the game for a long time stood in front of his opponent again.

In front of the TV, Sulter was a little dazed by the surprise.

"Sarter, please move aside. I want to watch it." Nightingale hugged the pillow and stared at the TV quietly as usual, but this time she was paying special attention.

"Okay, okay... Can this guy hear me mumbling? Is he really going?" Sulter sat back on the sofa and looked at the TV.

"...Friends who came today are extremely lucky! The Platinum Knight appeared on the field again, and chose a strong enemy like the Rusted Bronze Knight! Could it be that he was not afraid of fighting before, but was arrogant?!"

Ling Dengxian walked forward step by step amid the cheers of the audience, which were gradually becoming noisy, and trampled on the gimmicks of Big Mouth Mob. The Rusty Bronze Knight cast a contemptuous look and also walked forward step by step. As the distance got closer, he found that in addition to the two swords that the Platinum Knight usually used, he also had a big sword on his back, and he felt vaguely familiar with it.

"...Tsk, isn't this...the sword of that Burning Wind Knight?" He finally recognized the weapon that he had almost smashed not long ago.

"Yes, I not only brought his sword, but also a message, greetings from the Knight of the Burning Wind."

The Rusty Bronze Knight taunted, "So you are not a dumb knight."

Ling Dengxian ignored him and smiled lightly under his visor, as faint as frost.

"*Casimir's classic swear word*." Ling Dengxian didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but the Burning Wind Knight who was recuperating on the hospital bed told him that it would be best to say it only this time.

The Rusty Bronze Knight was stunned for a moment, and finally laughed out of anger: "So you are just a clown. Tell me, how many bones do you want to break today?"

Ling Dengxian's chuckle and the order to start the game came together. The furious Olmer swung his heavy axe heavily, and the greatsword reflected the hidden edge of anger as Ling Dengxian leaned over to counterattack.

When Olmer was fighting with the Burning Wind Knight, he felt that his sword was clumsy and weak, but now, the Platinum Knight's sword made him breathless in the second round. It was so powerful and yet it could easily lock his attempts to counterattack, like a giant scale filled with power.

The Rusty Bronze Knight roared and tried to break through his suppression. He felt extremely humiliated. He once thought that the Platinum Knight was just a young man who was seeking attention and was an opponent he looked down upon; and that the big sword was just a clumsy toy, a weapon he looked down upon.

But now he can't even touch the opponent's armor!

The Platinum Knight stepped forward and slashed hard, crushing his attempt along with the obstruction of the artificial terrain. He did not have exaggerated muscle lines, so his strange strength seemed particularly unexpected. Olmer Ingla's belief in supreme violence did not help his situation at all at this moment. It was the first time he felt such "violence".

Olmer had the protection of the Ingla family. Even if he met some knights stronger than him, they would more or less give face to the Ingla family and would not let him lose too badly or get hurt too seriously. However, when he bullied the weak, he was unscrupulous.

"Bang!" The giant sword once again smashed the Rusty Bronze Knight away, and his shoulder armor was also deformed. He could hear his bones roaring in fear, and his entire arm was almost numb.

"...Why don't you say anything?!" Olmer got up from the ground and felt doubly humiliated looking up at his silent opponent. He didn't even chase him but let him buffer and wait for the injury to his arm to be under control.

"Tell me! Don't you have any idea about such a fight? The pleasure of trampling a thug like me underfoot, the joy of winning, the satisfaction of pretending to be successful! Isn't this what you expected!"

Ling Dengxian did not respond to him. He looked at the giant sword in his hand - the man lying on the bed in the hospital was also watching him through TV - and slowly and firmly inserted it into the ground. He looked at his opponent who was gasping with red eyes like a wounded beast. Suddenly, many broken pictures flashed before his eyes, the unfamiliar arena, the life-and-death slaves, and the extremely similar angry eyes. He was in a trance for a moment.

Whose memory is this?

His consciousness quickly returned to reality, he had to finish the game.

"Oh my god! What did we see, dear audience friends? This is a one-sided battle! Yes, the notorious violent knight Olmer Ingra was suppressed one-sidedly! The Platinum Knight, contrary to his elegance in the melee and his composure in the battle against the Flawed Light Knight, shattered the pride of the Rusted Bronze Knight with the most brutal fighting method!"

"Wonderful! Platinum Knight!!"

"..." Ling glanced at the audience casually. His insignificant action caused a wave of applause. They cheered for the Platinum Knight.

Almost no one bet on this game, because of his frequent absences, he could more or less hear such cheers.

However, he still had to accomplish what he wanted to do.

When he stuck the Burning Wind Knight's greatsword into the ground, it meant that he had fulfilled his promise to the knight with conscience. Next, he really wanted to vent his anger on the Rusted Bronze Knight.

Olmer had climbed up again, but saw that the Platinum Knight had stuck his other two swords into the ground and was walking towards him alone.

"At the crucial moment of the game, the Platinum Knight made an unexpected move - he dropped his weapon! Why would he give up his existing advantage? What exactly does he want to do?" Big Mouth Mob expressed the thoughts of all the confused audiences, while the Rusty Bronze Knight did not miss this opportunity and swung his axe with a wild laugh!

Ling Dengxian punched him in the face with such force that he flew up and his weapon fell out of his hand. Before he landed on the ground, he was kicked in the waist. Then an inexplicable chill swept through his body. He was unable to make an effective defense and could only endure this "violence" while wailing like a helpless hairless beast.

"Bare-handed! The Platinum Knight smashed the Rusted Bronze Knight's fine armor with his bare hands and deformed it! The Platinum Knight won the game! Quick! The referee, pull the Rusted Bronze Knight off the field! The Platinum Knight is a little irrational!"

In fact, Ling Dengxian was very calm. He stopped after the match was declared over. He looked down at Olmer, who had already passed out after the third punch, and answered his previous question:

"Because you don't deserve it."

Amid the applause from the audience as they gradually recovered from his shocking action, he took out his weapon with his hand that was beginning to feel pain, walked away from the arena step by step, exhaled heavily, and felt as if something that had been pent up in his chest had been untied.

Yes, he couldn't ignore it.

At the corner of the corridor where the light gradually disappeared, a dagger appeared in front of him just as he was about to take the next step.

He didn't do anything, he just felt someone was there.

"You looked very impressive, just now on the court." A white figure walked out leisurely with a bit of resentment.
