Looking Forward to Another World

As Artoria said earlier, although Salisbury has no special features other than the Great Cathedral, it has everything and lacks everything.

There are a wide variety of commodities, various buildings, beautiful scenery, and leisure places, such as fountains, small streams, gazebos, gardens and other facilities, which make every fairies who come here feel like they are in the world. Just like a vacation, people come and go with smiling faces at the same time, and you can tell that the happiness index is not low at a glance.

In such a city, Li Ge and Arturia are just two insignificant individuals in the crowd, without any elements that can attract the attention of others.

At least, this is the case for Li Ge and Artoria who have used illusion to disguise their real faces. No one can find their abnormality, and no one can cast their eyes on them.

The two of them were also like the most ordinary tourists, wandering around the city without doing anything conspicuous at all.

The most conspicuous thing the two of them have done is probably only shopping here, right?

"The map of the whole of Britain is enough for two people to eat food and water for a month, replacement clothes and toiletries, and some convenient tools that may be used on the road. Have you bought all of these?"

Walking on the street full of leisure, Li Ge asked Artoria who was walking beside him while confirming the supplies he had put into the storage space of the Dimensional Rubik's Cube.

"I-I've already bought it." Arturia shrank back a little bit, and even said cautiously: "Isn't it necessary to buy mine as well?"

No wonder Arturia would say that.

She is a goblin, not a human being, and she didn't need to eat, but Li Ge bought food for two people. In Artoria's view, this is undoubtedly a waste of money, let alone Li Ge bought it as soon as she bought it. A whole month's worth of servings.

In addition, Li Ge also bought clothes for Artoria, which are far from the village girl's clothes I am wearing now. Although they can't be regarded as very gorgeous, for a country fairy, they are also It is already a very luxurious style.

In addition, Li Ge even bought all the toiletries and so on for Artoria, which made Artoria who had never paid once from the beginning to the end feel very embarrassed.

Of course, Artoria was more shocked by Li Ge's arrogance than embarrassed.

After all, the act of throwing gold no matter what you buy is really too impactful for a village girl.

To this, Li Ge smiled.

"It's definitely right to buy it first, who knows if it will be used later, and will there be a chance to shop like this in the future?" Li Ge said indifferently: "You don't have to think so much, gold is not very important to me. For valuable things, I was still worried that Britain, the goblin country, would not be able to trade gold, but luckily goblins also like gold and silver treasures, so we were able to buy them so smoothly."

"But..." Arturia still looked a little unacceptable.

"Take it as if you picked it up." Li Ge said to Artoria like this, "Didn't the goblins in Tintagel take away the treasures around you in the same way?"

Arturia stopped talking for a moment.

Li Ge didn't say anything to Artoria, he raised his eyes and stared forward.

There, a majestic building sits, exuding a solemn atmosphere different from the surrounding buildings.

"That's the Cathedral, right?"

Li Ge spoke out as if talking to himself.

"...That's right."

Like Li Ge, Artoria cast her eyes on the magnificent church-like building, her tone was surprisingly complicated.

"That is the center of Salisbury and the Bell Ringing Hall, the oldest gigantic building in the Fairy Kingdom of Britain—the Great Cathedral of Ash."

—— "Ash".

This is a very meaningful name for Arturia and all the fairies in Britain.

In the distant past thousands of years ago, another savior appeared in the fairy country of Britain.

He has eradicated many calamities and saved many goblins.

He has prevented war and made peace.

He, like Artoria who holds the Staff of Selection, is a fairy from Paradise, and possesses a "gun" with the same nature as the Staff of Selection, and has made a lot of contributions to the Fairy Kingdom of Britain in later generations.

In order to pay homage to this savior, the first huge building erected in the Fairy Kingdom of Britain, the Great Cathedral in Salisbury, was named after the savior, called the Great Cathedral of Ash.

As for the Hall of Bells mentioned by Artoria, as the name suggests, it is the hall where "bells" are stored.

"Clock" refers to the pilgrimage bell.

The five pilgrimage bells that still have a clear whereabouts are located in the Bell Ringing Halls in Salisbury, Gloucester, Norwich, Oxford and Orkney.

The Great Sanctuary in Salisbury also serves as the Bell Ringing Hall, and at the top of it is the pilgrimage bell kept by the Wind Clan.

The savior of the previous generation and the bell of the pilgrimage, when these two existences are related to the great cathedral, it is no wonder that Artoria's tone becomes so complicated.

"【clairvoyance】."

Li Ge secretly activated the magic.

This is a sensory enhancement magic that can make the eyesight leap forward and see the scenery in the distance.

With the effect of this magic, Li Ge's eyes seemed to be looking into the distance through the lens of a telescope, and his field of vision suddenly jumped up and pulled towards the front.

After a while, Li Ge saw the gate of the great cathedral.

There are soldiers in armor and holding spears standing guard.

"Human?"

Li Ge saw the identities of those soldiers.

That's right, they are not fairies, but humans.

Salisbury is the only city in the Fairy Kingdom of Britain where human beings enjoy the right to independence. Humans living here do not need to be loyal to any fairies, but only need to obey the clan head of the Wind Clan.

The Clan Chief of the Wind Clan also incorporated humans in Salisbury, forming a human-based guard team.

Unfortunately, this does not mean that there are no human slaves in this city.

The only ones who can gain autonomy are the humans living in this Salisbury.

And the owner humans brought from other places by other goblins naturally don't have such good treatment.

"Hurry up! You lowly human being!"

At this moment, a more ornately dressed goblin happened to pass by Li Ge and Artoria, scolding the humans around him as he walked.

"It's not good to ask you to help move some things. It's a waste of my time to walk so slowly!"

"Hurry up! Hold on! If you break a thing, I'll send you to Oxford!"

"What a useless guy!"

The human beings who were treated so cursingly could only carry the luggage that was too heavy for themselves in fear and respect, while sweating profusely and trying to keep up with the pace of the master, panting like a cow with exhaustion.

"..."

Li Ge, who canceled the use of [Clairvoyance], watched this scene silently, with a blank expression on his face.

"Lige?" Artoria had already sorted out her mood at this time, looked at the expressionless Lige, and then looked at the scene where Lige was watching, as if she understood something, said in a low voice : "Don't you like it?"

"...It doesn't count." Li Ge was silent for a while, and then said lightly: "If it's just this kind of scene, I've seen quite a few."

There is still slavery in the continent of Akasha, and the world of the king of the undead is not a world that attaches much importance to human rights. Therefore, Li Ge has seen many similar scenes.

But whether it is the Akasha continent or the world of the king of the undead, although there are slaves, they are not all.

On the other hand, in Britain, the country of fairies, humans who are not slaves are a minority, and humans who are regarded as slaves account for 99%.

Even Li Ge had never seen such treatment where almost the entire race was reduced to a slave group.

Thanks to this, Li Ge, who remembered many of the treatment of humans in the original book, unconsciously let his voice turn cold.

"Being dominated by elves like this, it would be better if there was no human race in the first place."

Regarding Li Ge's speech, Artoria smiled wryly.

"Fairies will not allow human beings to perish?" Arturia said: "If there were no humans, there would be no Fairy Kingdom today."

Why do you say that?

the reason is simple.

"The goblin is the spirit of the planet. Not only is it long-lived, but its vitality is also particularly tenacious. It does not need to eat, let alone consume any resources to survive. As long as it does not lose its name, its will, and its own value of existence, the goblin will be able to survive. survive forever."

"That is to say, goblins are existences that don't require enjoyment, entertainment, or hard work to survive."

"They are omnipotent like this, but they don't deliberately work hard and grow up. Therefore, no matter where they go, goblins don't have their own civilization."

Arturia looked around at the exquisite buildings around her.

"The reason why such a goblin can build such a city and get a lot of entertainment depends on humans."

"Although human beings are full of weaknesses, are short-lived, will not heal their wounds, need to eat, and will die immediately if they are attacked, but precisely because of this, human beings have almost tried their best to survive and prosper."

"In order to fill their stomachs, human beings will farm, go to the ground, gradually accumulate rich farming knowledge, and grow a lot of food."

"To keep out the rain, to keep out the storm, they build houses, build buildings, and finally study aesthetics."

"Therefore, human beings can create a prosperous civilization and create a lot of entertainment, satisfying both physical needs and spiritual needs."

"Leprechauns don't have to satisfy physical needs, but they want to be entertained and have spiritual needs."

"Thus, human beings can survive in this country."

In a word, goblins are a group of creatures who have nothing but strength, but they have a heart that wants to relieve boredom and play in the world.

They don't have much entertainment, and they can't make decent entertainment, so they need humans who can make it.

Goblins raise humans to entertain themselves.

Whether it is torturing them, listening to their screams to please yourself, or training them to make interesting things, even if the attitudes of goblins towards humans may be different, the starting point is the same.

To the elves, human beings are just a hobby to pass the boring time. Even if they are not slaves, they are also a kind of goods, not equal lives.

For this reason, the queen has put human beings under control, even controlling the population, and distributing them to each city according to a certain ratio. This is undoubtedly an act of distributing supplies.

The cities in the Fairy Kingdom of Britain may not have been created by humans, but they must have utilized human imagination and creativity.

Including this Salisbury, every building here is full of the style of human society. You don't need to think about it, how the goblins squeezed humans to make them come up with the design of these buildings Come.

That's the role of humans in this world.

This is the positioning of human beings in this world.

Can be something interesting.

Can be the object of violence.

It can be a toy for play.

It can also be a tool to be used.

Even, it can be nutrients for eating.

"Salisbury is doing very well here, at least the patriarch of the Wind Clan has given humans the right to independence." Artoria whispered to Li Ge: "If it is humans in other cities, the treatment is not so good alright."

For example, in Gloucester, humans are commodities that can be sold or even auctioned.

For another example, in Oxford, a part of the human body is a substance that can be put on the table and eaten by people.

Li Ge, who knew the original work, naturally would not be ignorant of such things.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that.

"Sure enough, goblins are not worth saving."

Leaving aside such an indifferent comment, Li Ge turned around and left.

Artoria quickly followed.

"Don't mess around, Li Ge." Artoria observed Li Ge's face, and advised him cautiously: "I can understand your mood, but even if you make a big fuss here, human beings The treatment will not change."

"I know." Li Ge said with the same indifferent tone, "I didn't want to make a scene."

"At least, not yet."

Leaving behind such disturbing words, Li Ge continued to move forward.

Arturia just followed silently.

But following along, Artoria suddenly noticed something was wrong.

"That..." Arturia said weakly, "Isn't this the direction to the Great Cathedral?"

Arturia began to have an ominous premonition in her heart.

"This is the direction to the Cathedral."

Li Ge actually admitted it frankly.

"You, you want to go to the Great Holy Church?" Artoria said with fear: "What are you doing in the Great Holy Church?"

Could it be that he wants to meet the head of the Wind Clan?

For the humans in this city?

Arturia began to think wildly.

This is also to avoid the most correct answer.

Artoria, who has fairy eyes, has already vaguely seen through, seeing through Li Ge's purpose of going to the Great Cathedral.

Sure enough, Li Ge said something that made Artoria's uneasiness explode.

"Isn't that the Bell Ringing Hall in Salisbury?" Li Ge said lightly, "The tour bell is there. I'll take you there to ring it."

This relaxed tone, as if saying "I'll take you to see the scenery", made Arturia turn her head and run away without even thinking about it.

"Snapped!"

Li Ge quickly grabbed Arturia by the back of the neck and brought her back.

"Don't!" Artoria struggled and shouted, "Let me go! Let me go!"

Shouting like this attracted the attention of many passers-by.

"What are you running for?"

Li Ge stared at Artoria with half-closed eyes.

"Can you stop running!?" Artoria yelled as she struggled, "You definitely don't want to enter the Bell Hall in a formal way!?"

"Isn't that a matter of course?" Li Ge said bluntly: "You know with your knees, the people of the Wind Clan will not let strangers like us get close to the bell of the tour, right?"

The tour bell is a symbol of the major clans, and is closely guarded and protected by the major clans. How can ordinary people approach it casually?

Not to mention, ringing the bell of the pilgrimage is a necessary condition for the awakening of the savior. Whether it is the current Artoria or the savior of the past, the missions of both need to be completed by ringing the six bells of the pilgrimage.

Especially Artoria, who can overthrow Queen Morgan's rule by ringing six tour bells. Which queen can bear such a thing? Will the clan chiefs who are loyal to the queen watch?

In view of this, it is impossible to ring the pilgrimage bell without the permission of the clan chief who guards the bell.

That being the case...

"Can't we just teleport to the bell of the tour?"

Li Ge proposed an extremely effective and extremely simple customs clearance secret in a sense.

"You have seen my teleportation magic, right? As long as there is no way to hinder the teleportation in the great cathedral, I want to send you to the bell of the tour, but it is a breeze."

Indeed, as long as he knew the location of the tour bell, it would be no difficulty for Li Ge, who could use teleportation magic, to find it and ring it.

"But in this way we will offend the Clan of Deathwind!"

Arturia is still protesting.

"We have already offended the Fang Clan, so what if there is another Wind Clan?" Li Ge said disapprovingly: "Besides, I may fight the queen in the future, and you may follow the mission to overthrow the queen in the future. If the queen is against you, then we are against all the goblin clans loyal to the queen."

"In this way, what's the point of offending one or two clans in advance?"

Hearing this, Artoria choked immediately.

"That's the deal." Li Ge said decisively: "Let's go and find the tour bell."

Saying that, Li Ge activated the teleportation magic and disappeared on the street.

At the same time, two armies successively came to Salisbury.

"snort!"

Looking at the goblin knight opposite him, Woodworth snorted coldly and led the team into the urban area first.

"Follow."

Gao Wen said something lightly, and then led a large army into the city.

The vibe in Salisbury changed.

It became tense.
