Lobotomy: Battle Master's Strongest Knight

In the ruined library, Binah looked at the popcorn machine in front of him and spoke softly.

"Roland, do you know what kind of being Angela's prototype is?"

Popcorn machine (not responding.)

After seeing Roland's reaction, Binah sized him up for a few moments before speaking:

"Oh, it seems you're thinking about something we can't know."

"Ah, me? I don't know." After hearing Binah's words, Roland tapped his glass awkwardly, then looked up at the ceiling again, seemingly lost in thought.

However, while Roland was pondering, Binah continued to speak.

"Angela is a replica of Carmen, a person who wanted to change the city. Carmen wanted to create a world where people would no longer hurt each other and could understand one another. She dreamed that humanity could enter the world of dreams."

"Carmen sacrificed herself to keep the plan going, while the similar person I'm watching created Angela in memory of her, and then pushed the plan forward."

After Binah finished explaining, Roland instantly grasped the key word "dream" in her words, then hugged his glass window with both hands and spoke with a tremor in his eyes.

"Wait, a dream? I think I had a really scary dream before. But I can't remember where those things in the dream came from?"

"Oh, with your current physical condition, it's quite interesting that you can still have such innovative dreams that aren't just memories. If you don't mind, could you share them with me?"

After hearing Binah's words, Roland looked up and pondered for a moment before speaking solemnly:

"I think I vaguely remember entering a pitch-black dueling arena, and then two terrifying humanoid figures were fighting in the arena. Those two humanoid monsters were almost beyond my comprehension."

"One of them, wearing a trench coat, instantly created 12 clones with the exact same abilities as himself, and each one was ridiculously strong. Maybe one of them could take on 10 of me."

"But even under such a beating, the white thing on the other side was blown to pieces one by one. The attack of that guy was so fast that you couldn't see the whole battle process. It was like a typhoon. Anyone else who went in would be cut into pieces."

"Oh, how interesting. Did you once cross the boundaries of human reason and witness those distant stars?"

"Hmm, this shouldn't be it." After hearing Binah's words, Roland pressed his popcorn spout, scraped it back and forth a few times, and then spoke.

"Although that thing was far beyond my comprehension, I could vaguely sense that it was human. Well, never mind, it was just a dream anyway, and that scary thing has nothing to do with us."

……

"Achoo! Who's talking about me? I don't catch a cold these days."

After rubbing his nose, Shen Yu turned around and spoke to the group of people outside the car window:

"Alright, everyone, don't rush, let's do it one at a time."

"Hehe." Just as the Queen of Abomination was chuckling to herself while fiddling with her hair, Little Red Riding Hood shook her head, then couldn't help but speak up.

"I'm telling you, that guy's already gone. If you don't leave soon, we're going to abandon you."

"Sigh, I know, wait for me." After hearing Little Red Riding Hood's words, the Queen of Hatred hurriedly followed Shen Yu and his group, then boarded the Yellow Springs Train and arrived in the city.

"Ah, the familiar taste, and the scenery is so beautiful."

After getting off the car, Shen Yu opened his arms, looked at the cityscape in front of him, and sighed leisurely.

Upon hearing Shen Yu's instructions, Zhu Hongshi, who had arrived at the designated location early to wait, scratched his head in confusion. Then, looking ahead at the city, which was shrouded in fog by the library mist and could not be clearly seen, he asked in bewilderment.

"Why do you say that, sir? Isn't the scene before us almost the same as yesterday? The air quality has even gotten worse."

"Sigh, you don't understand. Next time, I'll have Senior Little Knight take you in to see for yourself, and then you'll understand."

After hearing what the Scarlet Cross said, Roland patted the other person on the shoulder, gave him a knowing look, and walked up to the bewildered Scarlet Cross.

However, just as Roland confidently walked ahead, adopting the air of a senior, he suddenly received a phone call. Upon seeing the caller ID, Roland immediately put on a light smile and then spoke gently:

“Hey, Angelica, what’s up over there? I’m telling you, you’ll never guess what I just saw. Honestly, even after all these years, this is the first time I’ve ever seen anything so outrageous.”

"Really? You'll have to tell me all about it when you get back." Hearing Roland's words, Angelica became interested and, remembering what she wanted to say earlier, began to speak to Roland.

"By the way, Roland, since you're working at Company L now, could you please take a look at my brother's recent situation? I spoke to him a few times recently and it seems like he's having some minor issues."

"Hmm, Alga... oh no, bro? Okay, I got it." After replying to Angelica, Roland briefly checked the recent situation of Azure Echoes, then looked puzzled and confused.

After a moment of silence, Roland opened his contacts, scrolled through them for a while, and finally found a number.

After several numbers were shown as invalid, Roland's phone finally rang and was answered by a slightly soft voice.

"Hey, isn't this Roland? Looks like you've got some guts. You actually managed to get the right to live in the nest. If you could upgrade your brain too, that would be even better."

"I'm telling you, you idiot..." Roland forced back his words, then forced a smile and spoke gently:

"Dude, what's going on with you lately? Why is your status listed as wanted in our company? Did you lose your mind and attack some noble or ruin the reputation of an association?"

"Oh, no. They just said that I used my position to coerce the four associations to go to the library, repeatedly interfered with the duties of other associations, and created a terrorist organization at the level of a city star."

"Oh dear. Those guys from the First Association have already come looking for us? Forget it, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm afraid it'll affect my IQ during the fight. Also, remember to be nice to Angelica, or else you might not even have your head left on your neck?"

After hearing the disconnection tone on the other end of the phone, Roland's expression became even more serious. Looking at the contacts on his phone, he spoke with a deep voice:

"What is this guy talking about? Is he still asleep? Wait, could it be that time warp again? Speaking of which, has everyone's understanding of the First Association been altered?"
