Chapter 1194 The only Request
…
After dinner, Roland heard about this from Tilly.
"Because...feeling?" When the other party mentioned the reason for changing his mind, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"What, no?" Tilly said with her arms crossed.
"No, you set the rules of the Sky Knight Academy. Of course you have the final say." Roland quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm just curious. I feel like this... what does it mean?"
"It represents talent. Sure enough, you don't know anything about flying." Tilly shrugged, "For ordinary people, practice is nothing more than completing tasks conditionally according to the manual. Except for the execution of the action itself, there is nothing. The same goes for the sky. But some people can conceive the picture of every action, and before they take action, they have already seen the results of their actions."
"Uh... is it so magical?" Roland twitched the corner of his mouth. He did not deny that he knew nothing about flying. Without Tilly's help, the Sky Knight Project would have been impossible to build based on just the few drawings in the dream world. Developing a qualified aircraft is nothing short of a fantasy. Whether it is trial production, improvement, finalization, or training, it is all inseparable from Tilly's participation. If you were an ordinary person and wanted to turn the blueprints into real machines and then use the real machines in battles, this process might take decades. It's just that the airplane is a machine after all. To operate the machine, shouldn't it be enough to follow the manual and practice repeatedly?
"Because that's what I am." Tilly showed a look of regret, "You can't imagine it, which means you don't have the talent in this area. Brother, if you are also a member of the Sky Knight Academy, I am afraid you will be eliminated. That batch.”
"Ahem..." Roland almost choked on his saliva, and Nightingale's suppressed snort came from behind.
"Do you think you can master flying just by practicing?" Tilly seemed to have seen his thoughts, "It is true that some people can connect movements and feelings after practicing thousands of times, but don't forget This is a talent in itself, but it is just slightly inferior to the former. More people will never reach this point, and it is not easy to fly. Who do you think has a better chance of surviving the war? "
Roland was speechless for a moment.
Without a doubt, the answer is the gifted. By spending the same amount of time training, such people can often reach a higher level and quickly accumulate experience in war, while those with mediocre abilities can hardly even protect themselves, let alone become more sophisticated. From the perspective of cost-effectiveness of cultivation, the former can be several times that of the latter.
"But you can't confirm anything with just one statement, right?" He was speechless for a while before saying, "After all, there is still a possibility of being right."
"So you know everything after just one flight." Tilly said unconcernedly.
"...What about the other two?"
"They all chose to fly."
"Oh?" Roland blinked in surprise. Expelling Deku Knight Academy is not a light decision in this era, especially when the director of the academy is Her Highness the Princess. It means leaving a disgraceful mark on your resume and making it much more difficult to apply for other jobs later on. Secondly, the remuneration for ground staff and chores is not low. It is also a stable job, and you can also enjoy some preferential policies of the college, such as buying a house, medical care, etc. Comparing the before and after, it can be said that the gap is huge. "It's quite courageous... Don't you think it's a pity if I'm fired like this?"
After all, there are currently less than two hundred reserve pilots in the entire city of Neverwinter, and each one is extremely precious.
"The Academy of Sky Knights does not need people without talent. If Kong has the courage to face the terrifying beasts, he will just die. It would be better to let them leave as soon as possible." Tilly whispered.
Having said this, the atmosphere in the office became a little solemn for a while. Just when Roland was about to pour a drink to calm down the atmosphere, the other party took the initiative to change the subject, "By the way, I came to you to ask if you have any idea about my new plane?"
Sure enough, she didn't just come to the office to talk about work. Roland's heart skipped a beat, "I think this matter can be discussed in the long run... The formation of the Air Force cannot be separated from you, not to mention that your staying in Neverwinter poses a greater threat to the devil." big"
Tilly didn't answer, her burning eyes showed her attitude.
Roland sighed secretly.
The new aircraft does not refer to the Unicorn, but a more powerful flying weapon suitable for combat. After Ashes was sacrificed, Tilly cried in his arms for a long time, as sad as a helpless child, but that was also the last time he saw her weak side. When she woke up, she found the first words she said. In other words, I want a plane that can kill devils.
She wants revenge on the devil.
Although Roland used a bunch of excuses at the time, the other party obviously did not change his mind.
"Do you really want to do this?"
"You didn't have so many worries when ambushing Ersluk."
"That's transportation, and it's completely different from frontal combat."
"In fact, there is not much difference. I use my abilities where they are most needed." Tilly shook her head. "It was precisely because I agreed with this view that I persuaded Ashes to go to the front line. You also know this." To take back the sky from the hands of the devil, the current sky knights alone cannot ensure victory. No matter in terms of quantity or level, Neverwinter City is at a disadvantage, and only I can reverse this!"
"But the academy..."
"Of course I will shoulder my due responsibilities. As long as I train a group of qualified instructors before the war comes, they can continue to expand and pass on the team of Sky Knights." Tilly was silent for a moment, staring at Roland. He said word by word, "I know this is a bit willful, but this is my only request, brother."
Roland looked at her for a long time, and finally breathed out, "I understand."
Tilly's clenched fists unclenched, "Thank you."
"By the way, do you have any requirements on the color of the fuselage?" Roland suddenly asked just as she was about to leave.
Tilly stopped in confusion, "No, this..."
"Since there are no specific requirements, how about red?"
"What's the difference?"
"Generally the protagonists who dominate the sky use this color." Roland said softly.
"Really?" Tilly raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Then just do what you said...use red."
When the door closed, Nightingale said with a complicated expression, "Your Highness, she...is serious."
Roland rubbed his forehead with a headache, "That's what makes it so troublesome." When Tilly said her only request, he could even feel the strong obsession and hope that Tilly revealed to help her realize her desire for revenge. , no one else but yourself. If he refused and let this hope turn into despair, he vaguely realized that he might lose the other party.
"She has also changed." Nightingale lamented, "But I can understand her. If something happens to you," she paused for a long time, then shook her head as if giving up, "No, I can't even think about this outcome. Think about it.”
Roland couldn't help but be silent... He suddenly remembered a sentence, war will change many people and things, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the war itself.
To prevent this tragedy from continuing,
