Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

Of course, this understanding refers to the period before time travel.

Moreover, Bai Ye knows her, but she doesn't know Bai Ye.

Bai Ye tried to ask, "Are you...the Black Knight?"

"...As expected, you recognized me." Jian stood up from the sofa, brushing a strand of blonde hair behind her ear, exuding an aura of power. "You recognized me the moment we met, didn't you?"

“That’s right. I’ve seen your picture on the Casimir’s Champions’ Wall. Nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, you won the Casimir Knights’ Tournament for three consecutive years.”

Of course, I saw it in Kazimierz before I crossed over.

Bai Ye, of course, wouldn't say the second half of the sentence.

Speaking of which, among the portraits of the champions on the wall of the Kazimierz Knights Tournament, the Black Knight is quite the most eye-catching one.

She won the championship three times in a row, which meant she dominated that arena for nine years.

"It's all in the past..." Jian, also known as the Black Knight, shook his head indifferently.

In her opinion, these things were not worth mentioning.

"She's dominated the Major for so many years, and she doesn't look old at all... What a powerful bloodline!" Bai Ye couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the handsome blonde woman with a heroic face in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Jian laughed: "So this is the kind of thing you're interested in..."

"That's just the kind of person I am; I never seem to drift off without realizing it... Speaking of which, I'm quite curious about what exactly happened back then."

After winning his third championship trophy, the Black Knight disappeared from Kazimierz. The next champion was the Radiant Knight of 1092, who is now an operator on Rhodes Island, Nearl.

Bai Ye was actually quite interested in what would happen if the two of them competed on the same stage.

Unfortunately, the Black Knight never appeared on the battlefield of knightly competitions again.

"Do you really want to hear it?" The Black Knight looked at White Night.

"Let's get something to eat and talk while we eat," Bai Ye nodded. "Perfect timing, I'm a little hungry."

As he spoke, he pulled out a bottle of wine from somewhere: "I have wine, you have stories, a perfect match."

Both of them are very simple people, so in the end, they chose to... order takeout.

“Here, food delivery is still a relatively new thing. Back in Kazimierz, they were already using drones for delivery.” As an outsider, Jian was clearly very familiar with the process.

She took out her terminal: "What would you like to eat?"

"It doesn't matter, any of the specialties from Sherag will do." Bai Ye wasn't particularly interested in food.

In his eyes, all foods that aren't sweets are the same.

After hearing this, Jian nodded and found the restaurant he frequented.

"To be honest, the internet is still quite new in Shelag, but the network infrastructure here is quite good."

Bai Ye smiled and said, "Because the place is small."

The land area of ​​Shelag is estimated to be about the same size as Tongliao. Because there are no natural disasters, the only thing that can threaten the base stations is blizzards. Therefore, the intercity local area network here is very well built, and the signal strength is quite impressive.

"Sherag cheese fondue, braised meat, and salty milk tea, how about that?" Jian casually ordered some things, then showed Bai Ye his terminal screen.

"Wow, it looks good." Bai Ye naturally had no objections.

"And what kind of wine do you have?" the blonde woman asked curiously.

"Ah, I found it in Chernobog, and it seems pretty good. I originally intended to give it as a gift, but I haven't found a good opportunity to give it to someone."

Bai Ye also found some good things in the core city of Chernobog, but he didn't care much about them. After all, they didn't directly improve his combat power, so he usually just glanced at them.

After waiting for a while, the restaurant delivered the food the two had ordered. Jian opened the Sherache cheese fondue, and the room was immediately filled with a delicious aroma.

"Actually, my story is quite simple."

While eating, the martial artist in front of him finally brought up a topic that Bai Ye was interested in: "I keep winning championships, so the audience finds it a bit boring. The big shots in the league are also not very satisfied. In their view, a dominant champion will indeed attract a lot of admirers, but an overly inflated individual show is not conducive to the development of the entire sports industry in the long run."

"Therefore, they were prepared to kick me out."

“I made a fortune for them, and in the end, the number of people who openly and secretly wanted to exclude me could fill an entire arena.”

"Even the Black Knight couldn't withstand the overwhelming power of capital..." Bai Ye sighed.

"Yes, but fortunately, the boss spent money to solve the problem for me in the end. After that, I changed my name to Jian and stayed here to 'retire'."

The Black Knight smiled and said, "The environment of the Snow Realm is similar to my hometown. Apart from being a bit backward and primitive, there's nothing wrong with it."

In fact, Jian doesn't like to talk about his past, but Bai Ye is SilverAsh's honored guest and very important, so Jian can't refuse his request.

"So that's the reason... I've learned something." Bai Ye said thoughtfully, then asked, "Could you tell me more about Kazimierz?"

"Are you very interested in that area?"

Bai Ye nodded.

In his plans, Kazimir was unavoidable, whether it was the arena or intelligence about Agor.

Skadi found a key there.

Moreover, before crossing over, Bai Ye received a message that a knight from Kazimierz was wandering in the deep sea region of Agor.

Although Bai Ye's time travel wasn't the deep-sea version, this rumor is probably true.

Now, Bai Ye is practically tied to Isamara and Skadi. He needs to find a way to gather intelligence.

Of course, Jian had no idea that Bai Ye was thinking so much. She just shook her head and said, "That's not a good place. Knight competitions are becoming less and less pure."

“With capital involved, things can indeed become less than ideal,” Bai Ye nodded.

"So, what do you think will happen to Sherag after this?" Jian asked.

As modernization continues, new and old things will inevitably clash, and traditional beliefs will change. The answer is unclear.

Bai Ye shrugged. Don't ask him that question. He only cares about dealing with the players; let SilverAsh worry about the rest.

Chapter 86 The Girl on the Eaves

"Boss, he recognized me."

After dinner, Bai Ye returned to his room to rest, while Jian, also known as the Black Knight, began to contact SilverAsh.

As mentioned before, although SilverAsh had placed almost all his hopes on White Night, the only "undead" expert, he still kept some necessary backup plans.

To ensure Bai Ye's safety, and also for a certain supervisory purpose, he assigned the Black Knight, the strongest fighter in the Snow Kingdom, as Bai Ye's bodyguard.

Providing routine feedback to SilverAsh is also one of Armor's tasks.

SilverAsh was in his office when he heard this and chuckled: "It's normal. You used to be so famous, it's not surprising that outsiders would recognize you."

"I can't figure him out. I've never met a researcher who likes to live in a safe house before," Jian couldn't help but complain.

The place Bai Ye chose to stay was neither a luxury hotel nor a high-end villa; it was just a two-story cottage.

Moreover, this house was originally intended to be a safe house, so apart from the basement, the other rooms were decorated very simply.

However, Bai Ye really liked this kind of accommodation.

It looks quite strange to me.

"Perhaps it's because of a lack of security. Can you tell how strong he is?" SilverAsh continued to ask.

Jian hesitated for a moment: "He doesn't seem like a martial artist. His posture and eyes are very relaxed and casual. Moreover, I shook hands with him. His palms are smooth and without any calluses. He doesn't seem to know much about weapons, and his fist skills are probably not up to par."

"Hmm, but you still think he's not as simple as he seems on the surface?" SilverAsh raised an eyebrow.

“Yes, that’s right. He always seems so relaxed and confident.” Jian nodded, then speculated, “Perhaps he has some special Originium Arts. After all, most scholars and researchers have a few special skills. Isn’t Nosis like that?”

SilverAsh was silent for a moment, then gave the order: "Just protect him. If he's not a threat, there's no need to worry too much or keep an eye on him all the time. He's our honored guest, so we can't be too rude. Just take the most basic precautions."

Clearly, SilverAsh still retains some trust in White Night.

Not much, but enough.

-------------------------------------

While Jian was secretly communicating with Yin Hui, Bai Ye went to the balcony attached to the guest room.

Bai Ye discovered long ago that the different countries and political entities on the continent of Terra all vaguely corresponded to the Earth he used to live on.

Kjerag Snowland blends elements of various civilizations from the Himalayas, Scandinavia, and the Alps.

When Baiye arrived in the snowy realm, she discovered that the traditional dwellings there had a Viking longhouse style.

Bai Ye had never been to Northern Europe in his previous life, but he had played an old game called Assassin's Creed Valhalla, so it looked quite familiar to him.

Standing on the balcony, Bai Ye looked outside.

Unlike the brightly lit modern mobile cities, the nights here are quiet and poorly lit.

Apart from the developed areas where there is relatively good lighting, other places only have a few scattered lights.

Bai Ye raised his head and looked in the direction of the sacred mountain that Jian had mentioned.

After the aircraft arrived in Sherag, Bai Ye had a vague feeling that there was a pair of eyes watching him.

At first, Bai Ye thought it was Silver Gray who had applied the eyeliner.

No matter how he tried to sense it, Bai Ye couldn't find it.

Moreover, even after meeting the Black Knight Mace and waiting for him to be alone in his room, this feeling of being spied on did not disappear.

Bai Ye had realized that unless the Sherag Snowfield was filled with hovering loops, this sense of being watched could not have come from a human.

Even if there is a lingering loop, Bai Ye, who controls the power of air and wind, can still perceive it completely.

Besides humans, there are also gods in the snowy landscape of Shelag.

Bai Ye looked up at the night sky.

The two moons orbit the planet.

Because of the lack of modernization and dim lighting, the night sky is exceptionally bright.

"It's beautiful here, isn't it?"

A voice rang in Bai Ye's ear.

Bai Ye nodded: "Yes, it's beautiful. However, after seeing the real starry sky, I can no longer be interested in fictional things."

Before transmigrating, Bai Ye learned a rather interesting piece of information. In the "game setting," the starry sky of this planet is fictional, and something is obscuring the starry sky beyond the dome.

Bai Ye lost interest in such falsehoods.

As he spoke, Bai Ye looked up.

Then he saw a girl sitting on the roof.

The girl was of medium height, with short black-blue hair, fair skin, and wearing traditional clothing from the Shelag region.

In the darkness, Bai Ye could see her deep blue eyes clearly.

"You are... Hiss—" Bai Ye opened his mouth, gasped, and looked somewhat surprised. When he met the girl's eyes, a mysterious feeling welled up in his heart, and the girl seemed to begin to blur.

However, the next moment, Bai Ye felt a slight warmth in his chest, dispelling all the unusual sensations.

What was once a hazy, indistinct view has now become clear to Bai Ye, who has seen through her true nature.

"As expected, you are no ordinary person."

The girl was swinging her legs on the roof, looking very relaxed.

Bai Ye lightly leaped onto the roof and sat down next to the girl.

In a short while, Bai Ye adjusted his emotions and suppressed his surprise.

"You've finally shown yourself. How long have you been watching me?" Although they had never met, Bai Ye spoke to him as if he were a familiar old friend.

“I noticed you the moment you stepped onto the snowy landscape.”

The girl carefully examined Bai Ye, then looked up and met his gaze.

“Stranger, you are not of my kind, nor are you human... Moreover, in your right arm dwells a visitor from the sea.”

"How strange, there are actually beings like you in this world?"

The girl seemed troubled, as if she couldn't quite figure out what Bai Ye was. She had no idea that such a strange creature existed outside the Snow Realm.

"Because I was so surprised at first, and I didn't understand your intentions for coming here, I secretly observed you for a while," the girl explained with a smile.

"So, in your eyes, I am harmless right now?"
