My Knights of the Round Table

"of course."

Shirley put her arms around her father's waist and said proudly.

"Then let me test you."

......

Three days passed without knowing it.

There is still not much news from Eunice, and Quetzal will come to Camelot every day on time for two days to defeat a hundred people.

Arthur wasn't in a hurry either.

The journey from here to the north alone will take a certain amount of time, so there is no need to rush.

It's just that with the departure of Eunice and Galahad, the castle became much quieter without them, which made Arthur relax a lot.

Arthur handles government affairs every day and raises Shirley, and then chats with 'Ishtar' at night, reversing her long-term loneliness and developing an awkward personality.

During the period, when 'Ishtar' occasionally sneezed, she would turn into a girl with blond hair and more conservative clothes who was completely different from Ishtar.

But Arthur still fooled it as if he didn't know, talking to her seriously and gently enlightening her.

Until the night of the third day...

Chapter 430 Chapter 29 Death of Arthur

Sneaky shadows move through the corridors of the castle.

Her whereabouts are not hidden.

Many of the maids who were watching the night in the corridors had spotted her, but she was still sneaking around thinking she wasn't spotted wearing a mask.

It's just that the maids selectively ignored her after seeing the iconic dull hair on top of her head and the blue eyes under the mask.

With blond hair, blue eyes and dull hair, who else is there for a petite girl in the castle?

After Eunice left only Arthur's other daughter Shirley remained.

And Shirley is not Eunice's temperament. Shirley, who usually puts on a cold look after being discovered, will be ashamed and angry to death.

Although Lord Arthur and his daughters are very approachable towards servants and hardly get angry, no one wants to try the consequences of making Lord Arthur's precious daughter unhappy.

Shirley sneaked into the main hall thinking she was well concealed when all the maids were blind by default.

The main hall is located right in front of the palace, and facing south is just the place to receive messengers and ministers, and Arthur will spend a whole day sitting here almost every day during this time.

Today is no exception.

Looking from a distance from the rear, Arthur was still sitting on the throne as usual, and there was no seat next to him and Ishtar.

"The vixen didn't come."

Shirley breathed a sigh of relief.

At first, I sneaked here in the middle of the night to see my father, but later I insisted on coming here every day to guard against that stinky vixen.

Seeing that Ishtar didn't come, Shirley didn't plan to go back, but quietly hid in the shadow behind a pillar and looked at her father on the throne.

Arthur was leaning back in his seat with his eyes closed.

"Is your father asleep?"

Shirley's eyes were full of distress.

She saw her father working day and night after she was born, and even if he was exhausted from work, he would spare time to accompany them as much as possible.

only...

"I can also share for him, why call Eunice and Galahad but not let me go."

Shirley felt sorry for herself for a while, and then began to peek at her father excitedly.

His eyes widened as if he couldn't see enough.

It was only after a while that she realized something seemed wrong.

"Father, it seems that you haven't breathed for a long time?"

Shirley narrowed her eyes and looked carefully.

Arthur, who was sitting on the throne with his eyes tightly closed, didn't have any ups and downs in his chest, it didn't look like he was asleep at all.

And more like...?

The admiration and suspicion in Shirley's eyes gradually turned into panic.

"No, no, Father's body is protected by the Holy Sword. Aunt Mei Li said that as long as there is the Holy Sword, no matter what kind of injury Father receives..."

Shirley kept shaking her head to explain to herself, but her voice stopped abruptly as the words continued.

She suddenly remembered an important thing.

Three days ago, the scenes in the hall during the day flashed before her, and finally the scene where Arthur put the holy sword of the star into Eunice's body was finally frozen.

Xue Li's beautiful eyes were instantly filled with despair and resentment.

"No, no."

Shirley hid in the corner and muttered to herself. She tried her best to look at Arthur on the throne to confirm several times and found that her chest did not rise and fall. She couldn't help but rushed out from the shadows.

"Father?!"

Arthur, who was sitting on the throne, didn't respond at all, and still leaned against the throne with his head bowed.

This made Shirley very anxious.

Arthur was a very light sleeper when he was young, as long as she whispered to him in his ear, he would wake up and play with her and tell her stories.

And now...

"Father."

Xue Li ran up the steps, her footsteps were unsteady and she fell down on the steps. Bloody marks were stuck on her white and tender calf. The burning pain came from her legs, but Xue Li got up unconsciously and ran to the side of the throne He put his hand under Arthur's nose.

The next moment, Shirley sat down on the ground with a face full of shock and fear, and tears rolled down her cheeks unconsciously.

"No, breathing?"

......

Not to mention the fact that after Shirley found out about Arthur's death, she hurriedly notified everyone in the castle, and then everyone started looking for Mei Li, but when they couldn't find Mei Li, they all ran to Morgan.

Arthur wandered around in the dark unconsciously.

"Is this the underworld?"

There's been a lot of debilitating fatalities inside Camelot these days.

Although under the threat of the tide of monsters, there are often soldiers and craftsmen who are too tired to faint due to long working hours, but the number of deaths is not too many.

But the number of debilitating deaths has risen sharply in recent days.

And that happened after Ishtar came to Camelot and stayed in Camelot after being gathered by him.

Combining the incident that Ishtar will become weird at night, her blond hair accidentally revealed, and her statement in the hall a few days ago that she has not joined the "Alliance of the Three Goddesses"...

"Ereshkigal?"

Arthur stepped on the dark land, and the long black land floated in the air and connected to the front.

It can only accommodate the passing of a few people.

And the two sides are completely endless deep abyss, making people wonder what kind of terrifying place they will go to if they accidentally fall.

This is a more terrifying area than Skaha's Kingdom of Shadows.

"In the end, Scathach is just a god of the underworld who is on the way. This is the real horror."

Arthur patted his head.

To be honest, he shouldn't be so reckless to let himself die by giving the holy sword to Eunice and bet on the chance of being dragged into the underworld by Ereshkigal.

If he made a wrong bet, he could only descend in his real body from the Hall of Valor.

And more importantly, the big gift he and Meili prepared for the Mother of Origins—Tiamat in Camelot would also lose a lot of power because of this.

"I haven't slept well for months, and I can't help it."

Arthur patted his head and muttered to himself.

After sleeping in the underworld, his drowsy mind finally woke up.

"Thinking about it carefully, this is just the first step, and it's already so dangerous—what kind of fanatic did I want to come to the underworld to find Ereshkigal in person?"

This is the territory of the goddess of the underworld.

It's like in Camelot, even if he met Tiamat, the mother of origin, he dared to head-on.

If Tiamat really came here, Ereshkigal, as the master of Hades, could definitely challenge her to a duel.

To be serious, the first step he took to enter Hades at the cost of his death was the safest step.

Later, I will go to the real pillar in the "Alliance of the Three Goddesses", Ereshkigal, to talk, and to win her over is a near-death step every step of the way.

Even if he held the holy sword of the stars, he might not be able to defeat Ereshkigal who was in the underworld.

What's more problematic is that he can't come here if he holds the Holy Sword of the Stars.
