Chapter 35: A New Beginning
"Let's build the Knights!"
Alice's large, jade-like eyes shone brightly, and she clenched her little fists as she made such an aggressive proposal.
And the reason for the above conclusion is that just now, her sister Ariezel took out the cache data stored in Shirda's body and used the magic crystal to play the whole video of the encounter with three knights and the bitter battle not long ago.
For some reason, while watching the video, Alice's eyes lit up and she became extremely excited, as if a fire in her chest had been ignited.
She jumped up from her seat in high spirits, and her mouth kept muttering to herself: "Wow, handsome! Where are they the protagonists?
"Sister Alice, please calm down and watch the material......"
Sophia, the youngest of the triplets, hurriedly grabbed Alice's shoulders, fearing that her sister would be too excited to destroy the magic guide used for playing.
To summarize Alice's point succinctly, this is how -
She wanted to form a medieval Order of Saber Knights in Celestia as well, but the reason was confusing to her sisters, especially Sophia, who couldn't understand what her sister was saying.
Alice keeps advocating the royal way, romantic, and handsome...... Although it seems to put forward some standards for "combat effectiveness", the description of "dick and domineering" is too vague, which only makes Sophia more and more confused.
"Ah~~~ It's really worthy of the empire, there is such a powerful legion, have you seen it! Whether it is the calm and calm swordsman, or the righteous young man, or the upright big sister, they are all the protagonists who appear in fantasy novels! And they are so strong! [Moment of slashing] What, so handsome that I have goosebumps all over my body! I really want to shout some nirvana when I make a move!"
From an objective point of view, the performance of the three knights is really remarkable, and as soon as Lovely Lisi became excited, she obviously forgot that the three of them were baremonies who tried to kidnap their sister not long ago.
"Although the name is exaggerated, in general, I guess I'm faster. β
"No, no, Sophia, the crux of the problem is not here, but the overall feeling he gives people!"
"Feeling ......?"
Unable to understand her sister's aesthetics, Sophia tilted her head.
"Look at him, he is young, heroic, with sterling silver armor and snow-white robes, and not only that, but his face is full of strong determination to 'my companions are guarded by me'!"
"But I'm younger than him, and I'll protect my sister's safety......"
"Sophia, it's not the substance, it's the expressiveness! To put it bluntly, you're doing something so inconspicuous! I mean...... We in Silia need to cultivate talents like them and form a similar army!
"Wait......"
This sentence made Sophia puff out her cheeks, and retorted rarely, "Sister is, you underestimate the so-called army too much." A real warrior is not an actor on stage, but rather an actor on stage, what is more important than his appearance is his actual combat ability. β
"But you see that their combat ability is not weak!"
"Uh-huh~~I also agree with this~~ Those knight brothers and sisters didn't use their full strength~~ They should still have something hidden, after all, from the armor and weapons, they can sense some very peculiar, creature-like magic ripples~~ Although in terms of ability, the elder sister and the younger sister are a cut above them, but if they show their hole cards, the actual victory or defeat is difficult to say~~"
"Look, look...... There's a special move or something. I guess it's going to be a powerful move that will pay some price...... A dangerous power that can only be gained by sacrificing one's companions in a moment of crisis...... Wow~~ It's so desirable!"
"However, sister, the so-called combat effectiveness of the army is not reflected in the outstanding combat performance of individual personnel, but in the overall coordinated combat ability, as well as reasonable, efficient, low-cost, and easy-to-mass produce standard equipment. On the battlefield, rather than being eye-catching, those troops that move quickly and are inconspicuous are often more lethal. I appreciate the efficiency of the fighting system more than the silver knights, such as the 6th Chasseur Brigade in Austria, the SAJ in Serbia, the Norwegian Polar Company, or the 74th Armored Mechanized Battalion in Slovenia......"
"Ahhh~~ Why doesn't the little sister understand the romance of men! After all, this is the world of medieval civilization, and she puts on special forces or something at every turn, isn't it incompatible with the whole world view!"
"No, sister, what's wrong with using weapons more advanced than the enemy to occupy a superior position at the tactical level, there are countless similar examples in the history of the earth. Originally, the development of weapons was also an important link in warfare. After the actual war, don't think that the technical advantage can be maintained for too long, the enemy is the same person, it is impossible to be beaten unilaterally, they will evolve in defeat, and they will unconsciously get the same strength as the opponent. β
To put it simply, Alice and Sophia's conception of the Legion is not on the same channel at all.
Alice wants to build a glamorous and invincible army, and the intention is just to pretend to be ...... It is to put on a dazzling show in another world, which is also the dream and romance of all travelers.
Sophia's logic for the city defense system focuses on actual combat performance. If you put aside the performance power of "Crossing Another World", objectively speaking, her point of view is correct.
"Hmm~~~Okay, okay~~ That's it, sister and little sister tell me what you think, I'll compromise and plan~~"
When there is an endless argument, you need a smart and calm companion like the current Ariza to coordinate it.
So, the first to speak was Alice-
"Knights! First of all, don't be too old, hot-blooded boy...... Ah, no, since it is a corps, then it needs teenagers and girls with very different personalities, who support each other and run in. Moreover, each has their own specialty, complements each other, cultivates camaraderie and thrives in battle. In terms of equipment, of course, it is in accordance with the unique habits and characteristics of each of them. If you can!Beautiful boys and girls are even better~!With shiny metal armor and wielding all kinds of cold weapons, the whole line looks like on the battlefield...... Ah, I get goosebumps all over my body just thinking about it!In short, try to attract attention as much as possible~~!Finally...... The atmosphere between each other should be harmonious and friendly, not lifeless!"
"Uh-huh, I see, what about the little sister~~?"
"Members need to be physically fit and mature adults, and in fact the physical training of the garrison uncles has been quite effective. Be obedient, familiar with all kinds of passwords and gestures, and faithfully carry out orders. The training methods and armament should be unified, and several sets of special equipment are also needed to match different tactical objectives, and of course, everyone must learn how to use all the equipment to respond softly to emergencies and replace personnel at any time. I don't have any requirements for the appearance of the soldiers. In terms of armament, light camouflage uniforms are selected according to the terrain, heavy fire position batteries, portable assault rifles, and melee pistols and knives are used to minimize combat risks and improve efficiency. Finally, military law should be strict and rigorous. β
It was a polar plan that couldn't be hit by eight poles, and Alize actually smiled brightly, "Uh-huh-" and kept agreeing, and finally, like a waiter who repeats the menu to the guests, she said:
"Compromise to summarize that's it~~ The physique is mature and full of enthusiasm, there are personal characteristics and unified planning, there are unique fighting methods and familiar with various standard equipment, and the appearance is not required by the little sister, so let's follow the standards of Sister Alice's beauty~~ If you are armed, it is both light and practical, both dazzling and concealed heavy armor, and the whole field of firearms based on swords, focusing on appearance while reducing risks and improving efficiency...... That's probably it~~I understand~~"
β......β
β......β
Arizzel listed the unreasonable demands that were extremely contradictory, and then gave a refreshing response without hesitation, leaving the two sisters speechless. The two of them couldn't help but worry about whether the mandatory "spiritual suggestion" had not been lifted.
"Can you do it......?"
"Sister Alize, please don't push yourself too hard......"
"Eh, I didn't force myself~~ It's not a difficult design. β
Arize's relaxed attitude aroused the curiosity of the two sisters, and they wanted to know what kind of miracle this bottomless genius in front of them would come up with-
Let's talk about the demon dragon that suddenly came into the world, since it appeared, there has been no movement.
The panicked townsfolk of Celestia have become accustomed to the dragon sitting in the distance after a week. Not only did it not attack the town, but it didn't even bother to move, and if there was any movement, it was only to the extent of yawning every day, and even made people wonder if the demon dragon was such a docile creature in the first place.
Since it didn't cause harm to the town, no one would take the initiative to provoke it, and in fact, Alice liked the dragon quite a bit.
The reason, of course, is - too beautiful.
She even spends at least an hour a day galloping out of town, sneaking to the foot of the mountain where only the scorched pit remains, to take in the dragon's awe-inspiring form.
Steely but soft, the dragon's scales reflect the pale blue of ice crystals in the sunlight, sharp and vicious thorns protrude from all over the body, and some evil but handsome heads, inlaid with golden pupils that glow faintly.
The dragon in front of her is simply an incomparable work of art, and Alice's straightforward idea is that she really wants to pick it up and keep it at home.
Dragons - in the original earth is a product of utopia, whether in the East or the West, there is no shortage of dragons in mythology. Whether it's worshipping them as gods or passing them on as demons. Dragons are always powerful and awe-inspiring creatures, and for Alice, who is familiar with various fantasy novels, its existence has risen beyond "romance" to a "faith"
"Sister Long, Sister Long, you are so beautiful, I don't know what you like to eat, I will help you polish your scales every day, so can you come to my house as a pet." β
Alice stared at the dragon in the distance with enthusiastic longing, and involuntarily let out a flirtatious declaration.
And why is it a sister - do you still need to ask? The dragons who appear in the story are mostly women, not to mention such a beautiful body, how can they be boys?
- My name is Kukratio Gulakias, and my magic comes from nature, and I don't need to eat. But...... Pet...... What is it?
"Of course, pets are small animals kept at home, the treatment is very good, no need to work, as long as you eat, sleep and sleep every day, and properly sell cute to the owner, you can get 24 hours a day pampering, it can be said that the most relaxed and happy work in the world. β
- Selling cute, what is it?
"It's just putting on all kinds of cute postures, clinging to the body and being coquettish. Forehead...... Then again, where are you...... Who's coming?"
It seems that in areas other than martial arts, Alice's reflex arc is more than a beat slower than that of ordinary people. Only then did she realize that she was alone, and the voice was ringing directly in her head.
- My name is Kukratio Gulakias, haven't I always been in front of you?
With that, the dragon in the distance lifted its long neck, and it turned its head to face Alice with its lizard-like golden pupils.
"Eh...... eh, eh, eh!?
"Yes, you're talking to me...... you?"
- Speaking? It's different, I'm just communicating my consciousness to you through magic. My current posture is incapable of producing a human voice.
Only then did Alice suddenly realize that the source of the words was the scaly dragon in front of her.
Although I keep calling me "sister", I can't tell whether the voice in my head is male or female.
"Hara, so it is...... Is this the legendary [Induction] or [Transphony]...... It's so mysterious......!"
- Fantasy?
"Fantasy refers to that, swords and magic, or fictional stories like cultivating immortals. β
I'm not fictional, magic actually exists, I don't know what you mean.
"Hahaha, don't care about these details~~~ But a dragon who can talk...... Although the irrational destruction giant beast is not bad, but it is still wise and praised, I feel that Sister Long, you are more handsome than just now!"
- Huhu...... What a strange little thing, for the first time in thousands of years, a human has praised me......
"Thousands of years...... Although there are many such settings in the story, it is actually super long, and the history of human civilization on the earth is only a few thousand years. Anyway, Sister Long, why did you suddenly appear here?"
- Hmm...... My body is sealed here, hidden in the 'Illusory Realm', but unfortunately, I can't remember the reason for the long run...... But even without this seal, I have no intention of leaving the nest.
"Eh, why ...... it, isn't it lonely to stay here all the time?"
- Loneliness...... I can't understand it.
"That's right...... Haha, it feels like you're like a little dragon girl who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, if you're like the dragons of other stories, you must be able to transform into a human form and ...... a super temperamental big sister!"
- Little Dragon Girl...... turned into a human form, why did she do such a thing?
"There are all kinds of reasons, basically it depends on how the author sets it, but the dragon turns into a beautiful girl, all for the sake of falling in love with the protagonist~!"
- What is ...... in love?
"This ...... I don't know how to answer you when you ask me so seriously...... In love, this question is difficult...... Suddenly, it rose to the height of philosophy. β
- Hmm...... So let's tell me the story of the 'little dragon girl'?
"Huh, if you're interested...... But ......"
- Hmm......?
Think about it, the 'Little Dragon Maiden' is from the Condor Heroes, in fact, she is just a human at all, and Alice, who is compared to it, is just casually talking, in fact, she can't beat the real dragon clan.
So she pondered changing to other online novel stories, but after thinking about it, those vulgar plots really didn't have any highlights. If you say it casually, it may affect your taste.
In this case, it is better to reinvent the masterpiece appropriately, as long as the central idea of the story is expressed to the opponent.
"Ah, it's nothing, it's an earth-shattering love story......"
Then Alice began to tell the story of the classic novel that has been filmed many times in a TV series.
Of course, she doesn't have the memory to memorize the whole story, the storyline can only be roughly narrated, and the worldview has been drastically transformed beyond recognition.
Yang Guo became the son of a down-and-out knight, and the little dragon girl became a giant dragon sleeping in a certain body.
The master-apprentice love, which was spurned by everyone, has also become a cross-racial taboo. As she spoke, Alice became more and more compiled, and even felt that she had the talent to become a novelist.
From beginning to end of Alice's story, the scaly dragon didn't interject, it just listened quietly.
By the time she had finished the story, it was already dark.
In the end, the two of them were far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and they lived together in seclusion in the mountains, where they were nowhere to be found...... Congratulations~~ How's it going, isn't it interesting?"
- Uh-huh...... It's a very interesting story, and it's a little bit of what I yearn for. However, is the so-called 'love' such a turbulent behavior? In this way, I do not have the confidence to imitate and overcome.
"No, no, no, how is it possible, what was just a story just now, and love in reality is more prosaic...... Probably. β
At this point, Alice herself has no experience, and she can only hope for the plot of the story.
In fact, in reality, there will not be so many perfect "little dragon girls", nor will they experience ups and downs in the plot, and the saying that they look together and grow old is constantly decreasing in terms of probability (refer to the trend of global divorce rates in recent years).
- Hmm...... I see.
The dragon said meaningfully, Alice certainly didn't know what it "understood", and most likely just casually responded.
"Helloββ! whoa, whoa...... It's getting cold...... It's so late...... I'm going home today......! Ou?"
- Kukratio Gulaqias
"Huh...... Kukelao, Rachi......"
- Huhu...... It's okay, you can call me whatever you want.
"Then Sister Laqi~!I'll come to play with you again when I'm free!"
- Hmm...... What's your name, little thing?
"Alice~!Alice El Crusnell! See the town not far away?
- Hmm...... Understood, I look forward to you bringing me a new story.
Just like that, Alice made a new friend on this continent.
However, she didn't know what a terrifying monster this behemoth with a calm personality in front of her was in the eyes of the world.
