Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

And at this time, the main ship of Rhode Island, the lower area.

Rumble Rumble -

The roar of machinery running, the clatter of gears turning, the sound of boiler burning fills this entire area, which is the base of Rhode Island, the power part of Rhode Island.

The Goliath operatives of the Sakaz are responsible for the operation of the area, and few people go in and out of the ground floor on weekdays, except for technicians and special operators.

"Hey—"

One of Sakaz poured the source charcoal of a cart into the boiler, then closed the valve and wiped his sweat hard, he was just one of the most ordinary Sakaz boiler workers here.

"Wow, seriously, you guys stay here all day, isn't it hot? Do not consider going to the bridge to blow the wind? In the current season, the evening is always particularly cool and comfortable. A

frivolous female voice came from behind them.

"Ha, I didn't expect to see you again, w, no, I should say that you will come back sooner or later, but it is much earlier than I expected."

The Sakhaz boilerman put aside the cart on one side for a while, turned to the arriving

W, and said, "Thank you for your concern, W, but this temperature is quite suitable for us Goliathers, and besides, these devices are not particularly delicate,

but someone must keep an eye on them."

"The normal operation of Rhode Island depends on the power system here, and if we run aground in the wilderness, it is not fun, and natural disasters may swallow us up at any time."

W shrugged his shoulders and said, "

Just be happy."

The Sakaz boilerman said to W:

"I was surprised that Ms. Kelsey actually let you come to Rhode Island."

W said:

"Of course, haha, guess how much insurance that old woman has prepared for me?" Although I don't have a bomb on me now.

The Sakaz boilerman said:

"I don't dare to compliment this, this is the core power area of Rhode Island, as long as you change some programs, the boilers and engines under the entire Rhode Island will all explode."

W shrugged his shoulders and responded

, "That's true,

so I'm not at all surprised that the person standing around the corner at the end of that corridor can be guess who's standing?"

The Sakaz boilerman didn't answer W's words, didn't even look back, just said:

"You're here alone, W?"

W shook his head and replied

, "But not only that, now some of my demon brothers are registering in Rhode Island, and soon you will not be lonely,

you can come to them at any time to chat or something."

W stretched out his thumb and cocked it over his head to show his intentions.

Then the Sakaz boilerman was silent for a moment and said to W:

"W, you have a mercenary's bag on you, are you leaving again?"

W smiled and said:

"Yes, Rhode Island is just a place for me to rest temporarily, you know, mercenaries are always idle, not to mention W, but now I have a safer way to make money."

W thought for a while, and then said:

"I will go to many places in this land and blow up all the bad things that look down on the demon race and persecute the demon race, Sakaz has always been free, and no one can treat us like this."

"Ah, by the way, what's your name, kindred?"

The Sackaz boilerman said:

"Raymond, the last name I forgot, is the name of a destroyed Sakaz settlement in the wilderness."

W said:

"Very well, Raymond, I have some field tasks to deal with next, and I may not be back so soon for the time being, so I will have a word with you old guys before that."

"But when I get to some place with some specialties, I won't forget to bring you a souvenir, don't worry."

Raymond looked at W, thought for a while, and said:

"... Will you go to Victory?

W immediately affirmed, saying

, "Of course, Victoria is the place marked red on my itinerary, sooner or later,

I will definitely go."

Raymond sighed and said,

"What do you want to do, we actually... We all know that you can't be persuaded, and we know it.

"But I still want to say... Victory, it's not a good choice to go to Victory, w.

"I don't think we Sakaz should..."

Forget it, I'm just a boiler worker, and I shouldn't advise you on this, when I didn't say it.

W looked at the tall Sakaz man in front of him and asked,

"I've always wanted to ask... Most of them left, why did you stay?

"With your skills, where can't you get mixed up?"

Raymond fell into a long silence this time before saying,

"... His Highness left this home for us, and we have no reason to leave. "

We... It's funny to say that we already hate the feeling of blood on our hands, and it is a very happy thing to belong compared to wandering in the wilderness and drinking blood. "

And..."

Snap -

Raymond knocked lightly on the machine beside him and said:

"What His Highness left behind will be guarded by us, which is not much different from what you will do, you understand, w, you can understand best."

W paused in tone, glanced at the boiler beside Raymond, and said:

"... Guarding a boiler? You can't always say that the boiler is your home.

Raymond waved his hand and said

, "Almost, w, I have always felt that this boiler is my mission, if it were not for the high temperature inside, I could even sleep in it, laugh if you want,

w."

W's expression was not as cheerful as before, but it seemed a little silent, and said:

"You know I can't laugh in this situation."

Raymond chuckled and said,

"We're already grateful that you can remember us, w, heck, there's the latest data on the boiler side that needs to be adjusted, and we're going to get busy for the time being."

"Good luck, w."

Raymond beckoned, said goodbye to W for a while, and went to the boiler's control room to change the data and adjust the power part, which is what they do every day.

"Hey... These people.

W looked at their busy bodies and for some reason let out a relaxed breath.

"You should go."

Suddenly, there was a sound from the shadow beside W, she looked up, but the light did not turn on, but there was always a person staring at her in the shadow.

"I know... Askalun, you actually can't hold back more than anyone, right?

"But can't you really let me see the Doctor again?" Or is it the dragon girl? I have—lots and lots of things I want to say to them both. "

Actually, W could have found Tallulah in the celebratory venue, but she didn't want to spoil the atmosphere, but rather she was afraid of Rankopel, and the consequences of her creation could be very serious.

Askaz didn't speak, and the top Sakaz assassin remained silent.

"Wow, what a cold guy, it feels like your eyes are sharper than before."

W shrugged his shoulders again and said,

"So what's the situation with Lentinum now?" Is Ines really alive?

"What are you going to do?" You used to be with Trasis—"

Askalon remained silent, only this time, an eerie aura was rising from her.

Seeing this, W hurriedly said:

"Ah, don't be like this, Askalun,

haha... Good...... To tell the truth, there are not many people who can scare me without speaking, you haven't been so silent before, it's unpleasant to see me? I'm leaving, I'm going, okay?

Askalun said,

"We cooperate for the time being."

W replied

, "Wow, 'cooperation,' although I don't think it's a cooperation, just in case,

in case you accidentally wound your enemy later on the battlefield."

"Although I am already an operator in Rhode Island, I will be outside most of the time, and I will not come to Rhode Island casually, although the eyes of those little guys are so interesting, they will have this after being on the battlefield-"

[She suddenly stopped her voice]

[She saw that the left foot of Askaron in front of her was slightly tilted forward at a small angle].

[W knows, this is an occasional habit when Askalon works, in general, say one more word, the sound of his head falling to the ground may reach Askalun's ears faster]

"Okay, okay, this topic ends here, count me afraid of you, Miss Shadow."

W quickly spoke, and then put his hand on his waist.

“！"

Askalon was on alert almost immediately.

"Wow, wow, wow, don't get excited, it's just a gift for a friend, you like this, I suspect that my hand will be caught by you in the next second, and it is a meter away from my body."

W said quickly in fright when he saw Askalun's preparatory move.

"Don't play tricks, you know the consequences."

Askalon just said coldly.

"Ha, what you said is like the gangster trading scene over there in Syracuse."

W chuckled and shook his head, pulled out a communicator-sized piece of silver metal from his waist pocket, and slowly handed it to Askalon.

"Give."

After Askalen determined that this was not a new explosive, he reached out and took it.

“...... What is it? He

said,

"So you don't know something."

However, in the next second, Askalun's cold eyes made W have to return to his previous tone:

"This is a super rare metallurgical forging material, Yejin!" Use this thing to build a weapon for the young lady named Vulcan on your island, and keep the quality of the explosion!

"This is the highest-grade product I can get from the scar market, it has spent more than half of my family base, and all my contacts have been used, please leave it to Sharp... After so many years, I always feel that I owe him too much.

"But I don't regret it, if I do it again, I will still choose to blow up those spell batteries again, instead of letting my demon brothers act as human targets to attract artillery fire."

W's tone was extremely firm at the end.

"This piece of gold is only the size of a communicator, which is not enough to craft a saber for Sharp."

Askalon looked at the silver metal block known as Yejin and said to W.

"You can rest assured, Yejin can be stretched, and only stretching can exert the best performance, this thing is almost the same price as moonshine Mithril when it comes to Letania, and there is no market, you can't buy it if you want to."

W said to her.

"...,"

Askalun silently put the gold into the storage bag around his waist.

"Okay, Miss Askaren, let's say goodbye for now."

W walked past her with a light smile, passing by, not forgetting to look back, and finally dropped a sentence.

"By the way, please remember that you are no longer my boss."

Two Sakaz passed by the core power zone at the bottom of Rhode Island.
