Hellish Affairs

At this time, Quinn's troops have already discovered what the meaning of this sun-like light cannon is—

Can't even escape, is this the holy punishment that King Bei used to kill them?

Obviously they are not close to the territory of King Bei...

"—Garden of Avalon!!"

Joyas roared, he had never used it, the scabbard of the holy sword——

It should be fine, please, help me block this blow...

As if responding to Joyas' call, the strongest defense given by the fairy surrounded the Cangyin knight in an instant, and the magic power provided by the dragon's blood opened the barrier representing Avalon.

The concentrated silver magic cannon was hundreds of times stronger than Morgan's——

Avalon's defense with the scabbard of the Holy Sword turned into a glass-like layer, collided with the artillery fire, shaking the surrounding ground into pieces as if conducted.

Something like a mushroom cloud rose up in an instant, but Arturia found that she was not injured at all—she raised her head and found that a layer of light had formed.

The so-called strongest defense that humans can think of, what Avalon can reject is all damage.

"Joyas..." The guy who said he didn't want to be a king stood up as a protector, faster than anyone else.

"...cough cough." The vibration from the ground almost caused Joyas to fall off his horse, but Avalon's defense was indeed powerful. This luminous cannon was instantly transformed into Nothing, but still produced a huge vibration and loud noise.

And Quinn's small army was already stunned by the powerful magic power before the light cannon touched Avalon's barrier.

Fortunately, one life was saved...

The humble king...how could it be so strong?This was the first thing Joyas thought of.

Castle Black, the holy city that was used as a human body specimen, more than [-] undead puppets, and the Bailongbei King Vutigeng entrenched in it, fired light cannons that destroyed heaven and earth casually for no reason...

The humble king must have some kind of magical power source, just the man who was extremely old, it is impossible to have such a powerful power...

——Could it be that this is a singularity made by Getia?

It was only then that Joyas discovered that they had really underestimated the humble king before. Let alone sneaking in, it would be very difficult to enter even with the holy spear and holy sword Kai Wushuang...

"... My dragon son, are you here?"

A dragon roar came from a mountain in the distance, hitting his eardrums. Joyas froze at this dragon-like sound. This sound was exactly the same as the humble king's voice he heard in his dream. It was powerful and Slow and aging.

Joyas opened his eyes wide, endured the feeling of wanting to vomit, and looked in the direction of King Bei's voice——

The King was not here, his voice came from far away at Castle Black.

"If you sacrifice your life, you have to block the blow from the sky for your subordinates..."

"You finally look like a king..."

Artoria also heard the same voice and clenched her hands tightly. She is not sure whether King Bei knows her existence now.

Joyas clenched his fists and heard the humble king say——

"My dragon son, come to me..."

……

Chapter 040 Artoria Pendragon

Merlin has already said that it is basically impossible to sneak in. It seems that he is not deceiving me.

Joyas wore a hood and sat on a stake in the forest, looking down at the burning bonfire. Merlin gave them the magic of shielding their breath so that they could hide in the foggy forest to get rid of the humble king. tracking.

Let his so-called Heaven's Punishment never touch Joyas and Artoria.

According to Quinn, who has been guarding the northern border for a long time, Beiwang does not use this kind of sky-flying shells very often, and most of the Beiwang attacks are foreign enemies. penalty.

The northern border is under the extremely high pressure of Beiwang, coupled with the continuous bad weather, it has reached the bottom line of survival.It is this kind of high pressure that has kept the northern border from causing excessive chaos.

The humble king in the history of Xingyue colluded with foreign enemies, but now he has not, and is just letting the people die.

And the cannonball dropped from the sky by King Bei is comparable to the goddess Lungominiad in FGOChapter 6.

The scorching sensation generated just by being close to the ground is enough to burn out a large number of soldiers, and they can only be resisted with Avalon's ability to shield damage.

Where did he get so much magic power?

This level has reached the point of God's punishment, right?

The dragon's chant with magical power penetrated into the ear, enough to break the eardrum. Such an existence must be unimaginable, and for ordinary people, it is simply not in the same dimension.

The king's words reached his ears, and just as Merlin expected, Joyas could enter the castle openly.

He says--

【Longzi, come to me...】

Come on, do you use a light cannon to greet your son?

"Maybe..." Arturia objected, sitting opposite Joyas, with burning flames in front of her eyes, "Maybe he knows you can withstand that shell, so that's why it happened."

There was a crackling sound from the flames, dancing continuously, reflecting on Artoria's face, her Nordic-style face was reflected very softly, and her golden hair was illuminated into a deep yellow.She hugged her knees and turned the flame from time to time to make it burn more vigorously.

Artoria looked up at Joyas, "He said, you look like a king, maybe he wants to pass the throne to you."

Joyas glanced at Artoria. Arturia, who was wearing a cloak and a coat hat, was softer than usual. In the holy blue eyes, except for the flames, was the shadow of Joyas.

She was not a person of noble birth, and she even worked as a groom and patrol soldier before. As Merlin said, she didn't even enjoy a single day.

"It doesn't make sense to pass the throne. The King of Bei is already with the island and will never die or live. It is really unnecessary..." Joyas said.

Artoria frowned, looking at Joyas who was thinking hard, with complicated eyes——

Joyas felt his gaze also look at her, but Artoria immediately dodged his gaze, and raised his eyebrows slightly——

"Do you want to ask if it is really reliable for me to draw my sword against my father?"

"Uh..." Artoria was dumbfounded for a moment, but then she said logically: "Sorry, giving allies the necessary trust is the law of alliances, and I haven't done it, but since you have already said it, then let's cooperate with each other." Be honest."

"I do have such doubts." After being found out, Arturia was not too embarrassed.

Those who are good at backstabbing can prevent others from backstabbing.She followed Joyas to the north, and was escorted by others along the way. Arturia, who pretended to be Joyas's knight entourage, didn't have time and opportunity to interact with Joyas.

But Arturia firmly believes that Joyas Pendragon, who was chosen by the holy sword, is a glorious person, and the talent possessed by the person who pulls out the holy sword may bring about a turning point for Britain—

"I have one more thing, I also have doubts, Mr. Joyas." Artoria straightened her body and said solemnly: "Because when I asked you for the first time, you didn't agree to me. matter."

"But after Mei Linqing came, she agreed. Do you have a good relationship with Mei Linqing?"

Merlin?What does that have to do with that scam?Joyas didn't have good or bad comments about Merlin, he just wanted to pull him over as a crutch.

"I didn't agree before because Britain couldn't be saved at all," Joyas looked at the flames, then reached out to pour the hot water on the flames into a cup, and continued: "But then I thought it might not be impossible, So go do it."

For Joyas, he would do anything that was a little bit of a possibility.Before drawing the sword, I didn't think that I could draw the sword, but there is always a little possibility, so it is worth fighting Morgan desperately.

Even if there is even a slight possibility...

"If there is no possibility, no matter who asks me, I will not do it."

"..."

Artoria held the hot water that Joyas handed her, and looked at Joyas Pendragon with wide eyes. The holy blue eyes were full of complex expressions.

White water vapor rose in front of her face, making her face softer. There was a rustling sound of snow in the distance, and everything was pure white. It was as if snow was falling when she spoke.

The air was so quiet that even the sound of melting snow and burning fire echoed clearly.

Artoria took a deep breath, and slowly closed her holy blue eyes—the steam of hot water floated onto her long eyelashes, making it look as if she was crying. Under the light of the gray sky, her hair color slowly changed to a platinum blonde similar to Morgan's.

Joyas didn't know what he said wrong, and it seemed to make Artoria a little unhappy. It stands to reason that what he said was not bad...

"...Actually, I have always known that Britain will perish." Artoria looked up at Joyas, and said with suspicion of whitewashing herself: "I am not as stubborn as you. "

Joyas looked at her in surprise, Artoria said calmly, the water vapor slipped from her eyelashes - she would explain, because someone hated her, it was enough to surprise Joyas.

"I knew it a long time ago... Merlin has told me about the so-called future since I pulled out the sword in the stone." Artoria raised her hand, grabbed a lump of snow at will, put out the fire, and looked To the city of humble kings—

"When I draw the sword, everyone is laughing. I don't think I did anything wrong. I just want everyone to smile."

"I just want everyone to leave this world with a smile, and Britain to be destroyed with a smile... But now, I can't even do this."

"However," Arturia extinguished the flames, called the horse over, and said, "Compared to me who has been holding that Britain will be destroyed and not doing things that will destroy the world, I am really not worthy of being a king." .”

"Although I keep hypnotizing myself that Britain will not be destroyed, I regard that kind of line as a taboo, and I will punish whoever says it, but I can't punish Mr. Joyas. If you talk about Britain in my ear every day, you will die immediately." It was going to be destroyed, but it made me get used to it."

"I should have taken it easy like this."

As Artoria said, she seemed to find it funny, so she started laughing——

"In your eyes, I'm good at belittling myself, but I really admire Mr. Joyas."

Artoria got on the horse, but Joyas didn't answer her, and then climbed on his black steed - it was getting late, and Joyas was about to enter the city according to the king's order.

"Let's go, Mr. Joyas, I can't follow you on the road ahead, but if you encounter anything, please work hard with the little possibility of the British Isle."

"Don't get hung up on our alliance, just do what you feel is right."

Chapter 041

Arturia took a deep breath. She rarely spoke out what was in her heart, as if she had accepted Britain and her own destiny when she drew her sword intellectually, but she didn't at all in her behavior.

Others are saying that King Arthur is an absolutely rational, fair and virtuous king.

But only Arturia knew that she was a lunatic.

But she is just a lunatic. Although she is an upright king and an absolutely correct king, she actually doesn't have enough courage at all. While thinking about saving Britain, she accepts her fate calmly.

The future unfolding in this way could only lead to a tragic and chaotic end for Britain.

Died in civil unrest?Died of betrayal?Died in resistance?All in all, it must be an ugly ending.

She wanted to be like Joyas, mustering up the courage to overcome difficulties to find a little possibility, and she also wanted to give up on things that were completely impossible like him.

Such a decisive and bold, persistent and determined person——

I really admire you, Mr. Joyas.

Now that Artoria said this, because she didn't have any of her subordinates around her, she didn't have to live in those expectant and reverent eyes——
