"Don’tgo!"

"Youbelongtome,youaremine!"

"Why,King,doyourefuseme!"

"Iamthestrongestknightamongallthetesters!"

Morrislookeddespairinglyattheseveredneuralconnectionsthathadabandonedhim.WithouttheseblackwiresextendingfromtheKing’sinterior,anyknightdreamingofcontrollingthemagicarmorwassimplydelusional.

Andthemeasureofthesynchronizationrateisdeterminedbythequantityandperfectionoftheconnectedblackwires.

Now,Morrishaslostthequalificationtobeconnected.

ThismeansthatthemostpowerfultitledmachineoftheLeviathanEmpire,theBlackKing,hascompletelyrejectedhisrequesttodriveit,anddoesn’tevenconsiderhimworthyofbeingitsknight.
