In Xingyue, my sister Aozaki Aoko

"It's just that I thought you were going to reject me seeing how nervous you were before."

Listening to this understatement, Kai was startled and then heaved a sigh of relief.

Indeed, they were now in Vortigern's territory, and it was indeed common sense to try to avoid contact with each other.

But they have already come to the door, and the identity of the lord was exposed by the guests in the tavern. For this reason, if I refused just now, it would be either suspicious or bold.

Luckily, his foster brother thought more comprehensively than himself, Kai quietly observed the old man opposite him.

But soon, like Arturia beside him, he showed a puzzled expression while being vigilant.

Because the words and deeds of the old man in front of him are slightly different from the rumors.

"Give us five glasses of ale, and... a glass of milk."

Glancing at Rin Aozaki who was wearing a cloak, the old man greeted the tavern owner.When the boss came over tremblingly with the drink, he pushed over three glasses of ale and a glass of milk, and said with a smile.

"Drink it, treat it as my invitation to you, as compensation for disturbing you."

"Thank you, sir."

Ao Qi Rin thanked him, unlike the other three who did not touch the wine glass pushed by the other party out of caution, he fumbled to get the glass of milk, held it in front of him with both hands, and sipped a few naturally Mouth, lips stained with a layer of white milk ring.

"Sir? That's a rare address. Don't you know me, boy?"

The old man showed a slightly surprised expression, put down the beer in his hand, and looked at the boy with great interest.

"I'm sorry, because my eyes are blind, so I'm not very clear about some things. If I offend you, please allow me to apologize."

As he spoke, Rin Aozaki raised his face, revealing those unfocused eyes, which made the old man stunned for a moment and then nodded clearly.

"I see... But it's not offensive. If I really want to say it, it's because I lost my manners. And I was just curious about the address you said just now.

"However, although your outfits look like wandering knights, your boots are a bit too new. Did you just come here from other places recently?"

Hearing these words, Artoria's body tensed up subconsciously.She didn't know if the old man really doubted herself and the others, but her body was ready to fight.

"Well. In order to cure my eyes, my brothers took me on a journey, and we have been to several places."

Ao Qi Rin nodded and replied, his tone was natural as if explaining the facts.

"Really, then your brothers really love you, it's a little enviable..."

For some unknown reason, the old man paused, his eyes lingering on Artoria who was sitting in the middle for a few seconds, then he smiled lightly and shook his head.

"Speaking of which, sir, you seem to be very famous, why did you come here?"

"How do you know I'm famous?"

"Because everyone is silent now."

Rin Aozaki turned his head and "looked" around as if explaining. After all, the tavern has been dead silent since just now.

Only the old man and the boy were left, and the voice sounded like an ordinary communication between grandparents and grandchildren.

"Heh, you're quite smart. But it's not something worth hiding. It doesn't matter if I tell you. Just take it as my apology for my previous faux pas."

The old man smiled, and then said casually.

"Because next spring, there will be another war. I'm just doing a pre-event inspection."

"fight?"

"That's right. Although most of the time, war is an unjust act. But there are some things that you can only rely on to protect. So if you have such a 'thing', child, I suggest you protect it at all costs. This is... my experience as an elder."

"...Although I do not quite understand what you are saying, I will take your advice to heart."

"Hehe, it's nothing. Sure enough, I haven't talked to anyone like this for a long time, and I talked a little too much. Do you think I'm a bit annoying? If you don't mind, just chat with me for a while."

"While I'd love to, my brothers don't seem to know how to deal with a celebrity like you. Also, we're almost on our way, so... sorry."

Ao Qi Rin apologized and rejected the old man's invitation, but the old man didn't care, just waved his hand.

"It's okay. If this is the case, then you can go first.

"But I have a hunch that we should meet again soon. After all, in this country, there are not many special and mature children like you."

After chuckling a few times, the old man picked up the beer and drank it. After saying goodbye, Rin Aozaki got up and left the tavern with Arturia and the others.

As soon as she stepped out of the wooden door of the tavern, Arturia subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

But before she could completely relax, a childish and serious voice sounded.

"Our identities have been exposed, sister."

"What? But just now it wasn't..."

Recalling that the boy didn't seem to show any flaws in the communication with the old man, Arturia was confused for a while, but seeing the seriousness on Aozaki Rin's face, she knew that the boy was not joking, and this It is not the illusion of the other party.

"En, that's right, this time it's because of my lack of consideration. You may not be clear, Lily... Vortigern won't have a word of conversation with someone who isn't interested.

"The reason why that guy didn't directly expose our identities just now is probably because of En.

"After all, the 'White Dragon' and the 'Red Dragon' are both destiny and old enemies. Under such circumstances, how could he fail to detect the hidden things in your body. In short, we should leave here as soon as possible. This journey, It's going to end early."

Merlin said with a serious expression, without hesitation, he directly cast a deceptive illusion on himself and the others, and then the group of four quickly left the range of the tavern and headed towards the distant forest.

At the same time, in the tavern.

"Sure enough, have you started playing your little tricks again, Merlin? In the end, it's just a 'prop'. What qualifications do you have to inherit this island?"

With a sneer, the old man drank the ale in his glass, thinking of the boy he had talked with before, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

He could feel that the child had an attractive quality, but it wasn't because of this that he didn't directly expose Merlin just now.

It's just that he vaguely sensed that the child might be "the same kind" as him.

"My lord, are we going to let them go?"

The magician asked respectfully, as early as the very beginning, the old man had secretly signaled to him that there was something wrong with the person who was sharing the table with them, so he also read the words here to send the The army gathered.

It's just that the old man didn't answer the magician's question, but asked instead.

"How many minutes has it been since they walked out of this tavern?"

"Almost 10 minutes."

"Really? That should be enough. I have already given the opportunity, and I only gave it once. Then let me see...Merlin, is the 'prop' you chose favored by fate? It was just a ridiculous mistake."

The voice gradually became colder. The old man got up and left his seat, and walked out of the tavern.

The strong wind and blizzard blew the black cloak on his body, watching the several groups of cavalry rushing from the white wilderness in the distance, the old man only spoke a word.

"Chase."

Volume 19: Chapter 019 [-]: Which one should I choose?

"That guy really caught up, it's a bit troublesome now."

In the thick snow-covered forest, a group of four people ran quickly against the wind and snow.Merlin suddenly frowned at this moment, and his face became a little heavy.

He knew that with the character of Vortigeng, he would never let himself and others go easily.But I didn't expect that the other party would come so fast.

From this point of view, their luck seemed to be really bad, and they happened to bump into Vortigerm who was already leading an army.

"What should I do next? If this goes on, I guess it won't be long before the other party catches up. Can't you use your illusion to think of a way?"

Kai's expression was a bit ugly, and he kept walking.Even he could have heard the sound of countless horseshoes coming from a distance behind.

Judging from the sound alone, there were at least a hundred people chasing them.

What's more, among them is Britain's most powerful enemy at the moment - the humble king named "White Dragon Incarnation" Vortigern!

"If it's someone else, they can use illusion to hide it... But Vortigern is too familiar with my illusion, even if he uses illusion under his nose, he will be seen through quickly.

"And if I want to deceive that person, I need at least a while to prepare."

Merlin shook his head, cutting off Kai's expectations, knowing that what they lack most now is time.

Just as he was frowning and thinking about what was the safest method, Rin Aozaki, who had been walking with them, suddenly stopped, stood where he was and said.

"Sister, you go first, I'll take care of the rest."

"No!" x2

Arturia and Kay refused in unison, and they also stopped, obviously not intending to agree with the boy's suggestion.

"But if this continues, we will definitely be caught up. At that time, all previous efforts will be wasted."

Knowing that Vitigeng and his sister-in-law are mortal enemies, Rin Cangqi knows that someone must hold back the enemy's army, so that his sister-in-law has a chance to escape.

"Please don't worry, my swordsmanship is the strongest among everyone, even if I can't stop the opponent, I will still have a way to escape.

"Besides, Vortigern's main target is you, sister. Even if I am captured in the worst case, the other party should not execute me directly, but will use me as a threat. But at that time, My sister has already escaped, so she can find another chance to rescue me.

"So, please go with Merlin and Brother Kai first, sister."

Rin Aozaki spoke with reason and evidence, earnestly persuading the girl.

But Artoria couldn't nod at all, and said anxiously.

"No! Instead of letting you stay alone, it's better for us to fight them directly! Maybe we can directly solve Vortigern here, and things after that won't be so troublesome! After all, even If you want to break the queen, that should also be done by me. After all, the other party's goal is not me!"

The tone became a little impulsive, even though she believed in the boy's sword skills, Artoria couldn't imagine what to do if there was a slight accident.

It is true that what the boy said is very reasonable, and it is also the safest way to keep the king that the people of Britain have been looking forward to.

But if he can't even protect his younger brother well, what qualifications does he have to be king?

For the first time, Artoria felt a little rejection of the responsibility she shouldered.

But this slight rejection contradicted the ideal she had been taught all along.

Her responsibility told her that she should agree to the boy's suggestion and choose to go first for the future of Britain.

But her emotions told her that at this moment, she must not nod.

Subconsciously, Artoria remembered what Merlin said on that rainy night when the boy fell into a coma in order to protect herself.

——[I ask you, Arturia.If one day, Britain and En can only choose one.Which side would you choose? ]
