Hellish Affairs

Merlin said, and at the same time directly stated the number of [-] soldiers gathered near Baishan, just like a satellite radar.

Looking at the map in the void, Joyas quickly wrote it down, because he had never been to the north.

"But these are not important, because as Joyas, you can easily reach Castle Black." Merlin said, "There are about [-] people in Castle Black, which is a complete opposite of Camelot." city."

"The deepest part of Castle Black is where the humble king lives."

"As soon as you arrive at Castle Black, let's do it." Merlin waved his staff again, took back the map, and at the same time said teasingly to Joyas: "Aren't you very good at this kind of thing? Morgan's Eagle City was smashed by you. "

"But Eagle City is just a small city, and Castle Black is a city with [-] people, even larger than Camelot." Artoria pondered.

Merlin shook his head, "This is not a problem, my lord, the real problem is that the entire Castle Black..."

"There are no living people at all."

"What did you say?!" Artoria opened her eyes wide and said in disbelief.

Joyas said nothing, not because he didn't want to say it, but because he didn't know it at all.

"All [-] people have been turned into something similar to magic dolls by the humble king... This can be regarded as a piece of information from the humble king, anyway, the people in Castle Black are already like specimens..."

Artoria and Joyas froze for a moment, they didn't expect that the lives of [-] people had already been killed by King Bei.

Joyas took a deep breath, this Castle Black is really a bit like the specimen Camelot in FGOChapter 6.

"Damn it..." Artoria clenched her fists, even in the territory of Castle Black, they were all British people.

"There's no way to sneak in there..."

"...No, Joyas can sneak in, probably." Merlin said cautiously, "It's about going in with a legitimate name, just like I said, the kind where a son meets his father."

There are two more chapters, why did I update so late recently, shit!Tomorrow I must update early, get up early!

Chapter 038 The Long Winter

"There are monsters there, I'm afraid the humble king has given up on being a human..." Artoria said heartbroken.

"The King of Bei has long given up being a human being, but the puppets in the castle still have self-awareness, probably." Merlin said, "Even I can't see through what magic the King of Bei used..."

Joyas was silent. He was a time traveler. He knew almost nothing about the past of his own body, but he had scattered relationships with many people, whether it was saving Britain or making Britain a look back at the Age of Gods. , or to understand his past, he must meet the king.

As long as the king of the humble is mentioned, Joyas Pendragon will feel that there is something hidden and gradually draw him closer. The king of the humble will be the one who will solve all the mysteries.

Merlin slowly raised the corners of his mouth, took a deep breath, and said:

"Then, my lord, please order...

This wild and hopeful plan to save Britain..."

As the king of Britain, Artoria got up calmly, her brows still unfurled. She was a person with pain in her heart, and Joyas would not appreciate her, because admiring her was not a real recognition of her.

In this era, there is no one more suitable to be a king than her.

"Mr. Meilin, Mr. Joyas, as the King of Britain, I would like to offer my highest thanks to both of you."

"Then, I agree with the plan to save Britain."

Artoria stood in the middle of the lake, wearing a yellow windbreaker and automatically——

"Thank you, Holy Sword Maker."

……

……

Riding on the tall black steed [Ambtansir], Joas Pendragon, wearing a blue coat, was blown by the ice and snow, and his hair fluttered around. In his memory, he had never He has seen so much ice and snow, but he is used to it after five consecutive days of traveling.

The black elf horse under his feet traveled extremely fast, but the further north he went, the more serious the ice and snow cover, as if the snow had not melted for years. This kind of Britain made Joyas feel a little exaggerated.

Logically speaking, Britain is in the temperate zone. They haven't reached the northernmost point yet, but the cold winter has already approached here extraordinaryly, and it seems to want to completely kill the people here.

The eyes are all cruel white, and the whole world seems to be frozen by ice and snow.

It wasn't until the sun rose completely that Joyas Pendragon led his guards to the vicinity of the so-called Castle Black.

"...His Royal Highness, after turning over the misty and shadow forest in front, you will find Castle Black." The guards behind him followed them all the way from Baishan to this place.

"What's the matter, Sir Quinn."

Quinn Lista is the knight commander of a lord under King Bei. After Joyas was arrested, King Bei issued a decree that had not been issued several times in ten years, and he sent troops to the northern border Near the White Mountain between Camelot and Joyas.

As Merlin said, he is the only son of the humble king, do he need to sneak in if he wants to go home?

"His Royal Highness..." Quinn hesitated to speak, "You also know that the front is the place where the king rests, and we are not allowed to enter casually. Are you planning to let us in?"

Only then did Joyas Pendragon realize that, according to what Merlin said, Castle Black is full of magic dolls, and there are no living people... It seems that even ordinary people cannot enter.

Joyas didn't speak, but quietly waited for Quinn Lista to speak, not because he wanted to pretend to be cold, but because he didn't know anything about the situation.

"Do you have an order from the king? Let us enter together?" Quinn Lista said tentatively.

"No, I'm here to see my father." Joyas said calmly, and when the snow touched him again, it was melted by the boiling dragon's blood.

A hint of surprise flashed in Quinn Lista's eyes. He had never seen His Royal Highness, but his White Dragon Heart and Holy Sword could never be deceived.

Ever since Merlin told about Joyas pulling out the holy sword, under the witness of many knights of the round table, the legend of Joyas Pendragon pulling out the holy sword and becoming the guardian of the planet has been written into this The unique propaganda method of the times - poetry.

In addition, Arturia has not made any great achievements since she came to the throne. Instead, in order to defeat a few invaders from the south, she squeezed a few villages. Although this kind of thing must be done, it is undoubtedly It's discrediting her throne.

Now the public has completely forgotten that Joyas Pendragon actually had the crime of being an undercover agent by the king's side, and now they are overwhelmingly praising his reputation as a holy sword user.

"I'm afraid you haven't been here for ten years, so I don't know. His Majesty the King does not allow non-elected people to enter his castle." The smile on Queen Lista's face froze.

Joyas glanced at the castle behind the foggy forest, and then said:

"I see, then you go, I will go with my knight entourage."

"……Yes."

Just as Quinn left, he suddenly turned around and looked at Joyas Pendragon.

"Your Highness," he said, before rolling off his horse and kneeling—

Quinn Lista looked up at Joyas, and there was a trace of compassion in the arrogance and dignity of the prince's eyes.The prince, who had never been to the northern border, was bestowed the title of Lord of the Northern Territory by King Bei.

There was an unmistakable sympathy in his eyes for the winter that was raging in the North, and it gave Quinnlista a glimmer of hope.

The boiling dragon's blood clearly shook everyone, surrounding his silver armor and dazzling holy sword.

They felt in Joyas' body, similar to the power of the humble king.

But it is much more merciful than the humble king.

Maybe he never knew that he, who was called the "Lord of the Northern Territory" by the humble king since he was born, is the hope of the entire northern border, and they have been looking forward to his return——

"How?" Joyas looked at Quinnlista, the middle-aged strong knight, suspiciously.

Quinn Lista plucked up her courage and said:

"Your Highness, I hope you can take a look at the northern region. Since five years ago, the severe winter has been prolonged. Now, except for three months of spring, the rest of the year is cold winter. We really can't It's time for the next winter..."

The knight accompanying Joyas who had been with him since Camelot took a deep breath and held the reins tightly.

"I see, I will tell my father the king."

Quinn nodded, and left with his subordinates. The five-day guard was officially over, leaving only him and his own guard.

"You can also feel the love of your subjects. Your Royal Highness." The knight entourage said in a slightly heroic voice, and there was no lack of sadness in her tone. She silently watched Queen Lista's troops slowly Disappeared in the ice and snow.

Although these people are loyal to Joyas Pendragon, Arturia still regards them as the subjects of Britain.

Chapter 039

The entourage with blond hair tied into a bun is much shorter than the average knight, and has a unique but very common face for northerners. There is a pink ribbon tied around her wrist, and Joas Pan A blue ribbon is also tied around Dragon's armored arm.

This is the ribbon tied to the magician's Merlin staff, which actually exists as one with the wand, and they can quickly find each other through this ribbon.

And this knight who turned into a follower was of course none other than Artoria.Merlin used illusion to change Artoria's face.

"I don't want to be king." Joyas shot back at Artoria.

The whistling wind echoed in my ears. When Artoria spoke, the white air she exhaled condensed instantly and was blown away immediately. The golden hair around her ears kept blowing in front of her eyes.

Of course, Arturia also knew that Joyas could not be king. Although he had sympathy, he did not have the love and responsibility for Britain like Artoria.

Joyas whispered to the real king in front of him, "Winter is always approaching."

The retreat of the Age of Gods is actually a slow thing.

Beginning with Solomon, the mysterious age of so-called mysterious creatures began to fade away, and new humans who survived with technology and wisdom have also been born. This is a smooth and gentle process comparable to human evolution.

But this is not the case in Britain. It seems that if the country is closed to the outside world, it will definitely be beaten. Britain is being beaten now.Because it is far away from the mainland, it has not caught up with this era of smooth evolution.

Now it is undergoing drastic changes, the natural environment has begun to become more and more harsh, and new human beings from the outside world are constantly knocking on the door.

"If you follow what those people said before," Artoria saw Quinn Lista fading away in the distance, and then whispered to Joyas:

"If permission is required to enter the inside, then we can't enter directly... But if we sneak in, the inside is full of monsters. When we go in, it's as conspicuous as lighting a candle in the dark."

"And we're getting closer and closer to the king..." Artoria's voice stopped abruptly.

"Indeed..." Joyas said slowly, and then an ominous premonition suddenly came to his forehead. He subconsciously looked at Arturia, and Artoria also looked at him with wide eyes ——

Relying on her rich experience and this familiar intuition, it was the signal of battle, and Artoria immediately raised her hand, converging her magic power, and rushed towards Quinn's troops who still had shadows before—

At the same time, a dazzling silver-white spot of light suddenly flashed across the sky, and there was the sound of sharp cannon fire, and a huge light cannon was directly approaching.

"Damn it! Humble king!"

Looking at Quinn's troops in front, the light cannon condensed by powerful magic was obviously swept from Castle Black behind the forest.

"Wait a minute, Arturia! You can't use the Holy Lance yet!" Joyas kept calling her Artoria, which was inappropriate.

Gritting her silver teeth tightly, Arturia made a beast-like sound from her throat——

"Joya..." Before Arturia could finish, Joyas Pendragon had already pushed Artoria behind him and rushed towards Queen Lista's troops.

The black horseshoes crushed the frozen ground in an instant, Joyas Pendragon lowered his body, and the magic power of the light cannon spread above his head, like a sun covering the sky.
