Artoria the Big Liar

The most dangerous and urgent matters are handled by oneself, which is the strategy of the father and king all along.

It seems that going to the arena will be dangerous, and it may be a trap, but the risk of going back is the greatest.

Although the landlord is willing to rent the room to us, her attitude is actually quite ambiguous.

Ignoring the assessment and review and promoting the goblin to an elf, and there are three places, I am not sure how attractive this bounty reward is to her.If she realized that her intentions were wrong, combined with her powerful arcane ability, the risk was much greater than walking on the street and going to public facilities.

Almost like a trot, I returned to the [[%

And the moment he saw the courtyard, the hanging heart immediately let go.

On the grass, in addition to the two shadow war group elves from yesterday, there were two more goblin corpses.

One is a humanoid leopard and the other is a humanoid gray wolf, both members of the Fang clan who are good at fighting.

The deadly wounds of the corpses were the same, both legs were bombarded by magic bullets, and then the heart was pierced by a beam of light.

The landlady was still reading a book in the lobby on the first floor, as if nothing had happened.

Walking into the hall, I asked her softly, "Miss Landlady, do you need help?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Mordred, those corpses made you laugh." She covered her nose with a book, with a frivolous smile in her voice: "It's okay, just ignore them. The Eternal Queen will deal with it The corpse of the elf, the island will dispose of the corpse of the elf. It is the best choice to leave it alone."

"Miss Landlord, I would like to take a moment to borrow your knowledge and wisdom, is it convenient for you now?"

"What's the problem? If it's something I'm interested in, I'll definitely say it."

"Do you know the artifact 'Pilgrimage Bell'?"

"The bell of the pilgrimage? The pilgrimage? The bell?" Hearing my question, the landlady raised her eyebrows. "Modred, I didn't understand what you were saying. This is the first time I've heard these two words combined."

"In Britain, there are six bells. According to legend, as long as they are ringing, the savior will appear, and then disappear, and the goblins will return to a peaceful life."

"This is really a strange legend, I have never heard of this before."

"A long, long time ago, before the country was established and elves hadn't appeared, there was a savior like this. Once, her name was Tona Riko. Now, her name is Morgan."

Hearing this, the landlady's pupils flickered, and her temperament changed dramatically.

In those emerald green pupils, there is the brilliance of extreme curiosity, the desire of the seeker for the unknown.

The corners of her mouth curled up and her eyes sparkled. The landlady put down her book and stared at me intently.

"If someone else said that, I would definitely treat it as nonsense. But you are different... It's really interesting. I didn't expect the Eternal Queen to have such an identity. It should be before the queen's calendar. At least 2000 years. Considering the existence of the Eternal Queen itself, the history of the Savior is at least 2000 years old... That is really unrecorded history... I really want to know what happened at that time."

"In exchange for information, Miss Landlady, can you tell me, is there any anecdote in Norwich? A legend that has been handed down from the very beginning. After all, even if the Pilgrimage Bell is hidden, it is still a strange thing in itself, It will cause a special phenomenon."

"Know. A small space, overlapping with reality."

"There is such a fairyland in the city of Norwich. I strayed into it a long time ago. After all, it is a clock, not small at all, and there is no way to hide it without space folding."

"That's it... I wonder if it's convenient for you, Miss Landlord?"

The landlady held up the book again, hiding her mouth.

However, her emerald green pupils were brighter than before.

"Mordred... is the Dragon King's child, right? That's what Ithil, the Moon Knight, said. Am I right?"

"Yes. So I hope that the landlady can keep silent." But after thinking about it, I pretended to be helpless and continued: "But it doesn't matter. Anyone who has been in contact with us knows that the leader of the patrol team has nothing to say. There is no doubt that it is me. Miss Ishir obeys my instructions. She is also the great knight of the Dragon Legion. Then, even if I cannot guess my identity by logic, I can definitely come to a pretty good conclusion."

"Then... can I watch how you ring the bell and what happens after you ring the bell?"

Saying this sentence is basically equivalent to applying to join the team.

I still don't know the strength of the landlady, nor her true intentions.

But her eyes don't lie.Although she is an arcanist and an elf, she is not a person who is content with peace, hoping to seek new stimulation outside the boring daily life.

I don't know how my father formed his first team.But according to what the father's first attendant, Bedivere, said, I can probably know that the father won't pick and choose when he strives for everyone's strength. There has never been such a thing as "my team doesn't need you".Even for the most mediocre person, Father King can give him a suitable job - suitable for the team, suitable for Father King, suitable for the individual, and will not be dissatisfied with the arrangement.

This talent is the talent of a king.I have too little experience to have this talent.

However, I know that an existence like the landlady who is simple-minded, powerful and has a good impression of the team must be the existence I have tried my best to fight for.At least it can bring wisdom and knowledge to this team of foolish knights, silly girls and immature princes, which is an extremely important piece of the puzzle.

[}【}

Thinking of this in a very short time, I responded almost immediately.

"Of course, Miss Landlady... But, is this house okay?"

"Of course there is no problem. I can pack it and take it away. I am a great arcanist. In terms of strength alone, I am not much weaker than Ithil, but her shield is too powerful and can restrain the arcanist. Take away a house It's not difficult." At this point, the landlady remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way, Mordred, don't call me 'Miss Landlady' from now on, it's not like I don't have a name."

"Ah, I'm sorry. It might sound rude, but I still haven't figured out what your name is..."

"Ottery Hegea. Is my name hard to remember? Better than 'Artoria', right?"

Oster...what's going on?

I blinked my eyes and didn't understand at all.

After thinking about it, I could only find an excuse.

"Well... this is a very special name. The so-called Miss Landlord, in order to prevent your special name from being regarded as a weakness in the team, I think it is better to call you 'Miss Landlord'? This will not only reflect Showing your identity can better demonstrate your status in the team."

"Uh... okay." The landlady seemed to be used to this kind of thing, so she easily accepted it. "Then when do we leave? I can't wait now, I really want to see what will happen on this journey!"

"First, meet Isil and Artoria..."

Chapter 63: Old Friend

◆Mordred◆

The landlady took a needle out of her pocket.

It floats in the air, and the needle points to the southeast of the city, like a compass.

This is her technique, which can accurately locate a certain existence, provided that she has communicated with the target.

This time, the target is Fairy Artoria, whom I swear to protect.

It's not that she's worried about her being in danger—Isir is very strong and has a detached position—but I don't know if Isir will temporarily decide to take a detour or something.After all, the matter of the landlady was resolved quickly.

Following the compass of the landlady, we walked on the street.There were still a lot of unfriendly glances, but this time they were restrained.The inhabitants of Norwich are more afraid of the landlady than I, who have no reputation.

Soon we meet up.My maiden was unharmed, and Ithil looked as usual.

The only problem is that the time is too short, even in the arena, the two of them have not found the source.

This is the Lost Belt, and my girl is a special person. This is definitely an illusion, so I had to ask for help from the only wise man in the team, the landlady who just joined.

"Arturia, are you sure it's that familiar feeling?"

"Well, yes." The girl replied. "I have never missed this feeling. I used to rely on this feeling to meet up with my former companions and avoid many hunts."

"Can you describe what an existence similar to this feeling looks like?"

The girl lowered her head and did not answer.The emerald green pupils were full of frustration.

I went up and took her hand.And she snuggled up to me naturally, without looking outside at all.

So, Isil raised his eyebrows, and the landlady whistled playfully.

The girl's cheeks were slightly red, but she didn't leave.She declared her identity with this action.

"Cough... Well, since it's a vague feeling, it must be someone who doesn't know who it is—but I heard that your previous companions are disasters, right? But I can't feel that there is a disaster nearby. "

"Miss Landlady, it's not a calamity, but a fairy in a more delicate state." I reminded, "This is a very important concept. As long as you join this team, you must remember it. The reason is that Artoria It has a special ability to suppress the unstable state of calamity, so that it can not only retain the power of calamity, but also maintain the spirit of the goblin. Since it will not destroy the environment for no reason, it cannot be called calamity.”

"That's it... Really interesting ability." The light in the landlady's pupils is not clear, but more curious. "In short, Artoria, most of your former companions have already died, right? The dead remains will be taken into custody by the dragon army, and the living ones will also be sent to the dragon fortress for containment. Then, can you tell me, what did you say before How many of your companions are still alive?"

"I do not know about this……"

"It doesn't matter if you don't know. Anyway, when you have free time in the future, can you tell me the principle of your ability? It's not for any purpose, but just a little curious." Saying this, the landlady's eyes fixed on Isil, Try to pull the big knight into the water. "Ithil, are you curious too? If the Dragon Legion can master this technology, they won't waste so many resources on containment."

"I'm not curious. Since neither His Majesty nor the Eternal Queen can do anything, it means that this ability is only available to Artoria."

What Isil said was well-founded, but the landlady had her own pride in her profession, and she refused to give up like this.

Arturia lowered her head, her eyes dodged, as if she was a little afraid of the curious eyes of the landlady, as if the landlady was some kind of Frankenstein in a third-rate novel, and she was ready to be sliced ​​and studied at any time.

Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes and used the Dragon's Sight to check the "existence" within three kilometers.

I didn't expect it to be really rewarding.In the residents' rooms around the small arena, there is a very special existence.His aura is quite violent, and his magic power is also very abundant, unlike an ordinary resident.

With that in mind, I held the girl's hand without saying a word, and knocked on the door of that existence.

Soon the door was opened.What appeared in my field of vision was a tall female knight.The height is close to 1.8 meters, and the figure is extremely proud, even the breastplate is twisted into a cone shape.Her muscles are quite developed, her biceps are almost as big as Gao Wen's.The blue and red eyes are very special, and the long golden hair is quite messy.

I noticed that the moment she saw Arturia, her eyes averted.

"...Bagster, why are you here? This is a city of elves, so it's very dangerous!"

The girl's eyes widened, and she immediately recognized who the fairy in front of her was.

It turned out to be the huge dog demon, which I never expected.No wonder girls feel that way.

After being recognized, Bagster did not close the door, but stood at the door with a very complicated expression.

And at that very moment, Ithil summoned his own shield and armed sword.I raised my left hand and stopped her hostility.And stared at her with his eyes, signaling her not to make the atmosphere so tense.

Exhaling heavily, Isil disarmed.But her dark purple pupils are still abnormally cold.

"Bagster the Barghest, all arcanists in Britain know your name." Ithil's voice was as cold as her eyes. "Magic-sucking, ferocious, skin harder than the best armor. Your very existence is a great threat to goblins and elves. If you grow up, you will become a catastrophe that threatens the entire island. Dragon The containment chamber of the stronghold is the best place for you."

"I don't need you to explain who I am, the servant of the Dragon Prince. The Dragon Prince has known me for a long time. And he took Artoria away from my protection." Bagster's voice was louder than the Barghest's. The shape is much softer and more feminine. "I'm just... just worried about Artoria's safety, so I want to come and see... Arturia, seeing that you are still safe and that the Dragon Prince can protect you well, I don't have any worries. "

I raised my eyebrows.I am very satisfied with the title of Dragon Prince, it really fits my identity.

However, I did not speak.Instead, he looked at the girl and told her with his eyes that it was better for her to communicate with Bagster.Bagster's strength is indeed very strong, and he has indeed protected Artoria for a long time.No matter what sins she may have committed in her past madness, as long as she is now sane, I have no prejudice against her.

The introverted girl immediately becomes talkative after meeting someone she knows.

"Bagster, it's really dangerous here. If you can, why don't you go back to the Swamp Wonderland? The landlord of any inn is a great arcanist, and any knight on the side of the road is a great knight. Giant The fortress of the Dragon Legion is very close to here. Melusin is no weaker than Mordred, and her attitude is still very tough. It’s good that I have Mordred to protect me, but Bagster, you... really, really dangerous!"

"Artoria, don't worry, I am confident in my strength."

"But no matter how confident you are, you are still alone! What should you do if you are encircled? The dragon army can suppress so many goblins out of control, not only because of their strength! A person's strength is limited after all, and there will always be You have exposed your weaknesses. Bagster, you can’t stop eating, drinking, and sleeping, right? Water and food will be poisoned, and you will be attacked while sleeping. This has happened many times!”

"I actually hid it quite well..."

"I know it's good! But I'm afraid of accidents in everything! And accidents will definitely happen!" The girl's voice became louder and higher, and she sounded almost angry. "You are different from Mordred! Mordred is the child of the Dragon King, and he is stronger than Melusin! You see, even a great knight has to obey the Dragon King's order and obey her. command!"

Isil didn't express anything in particular, and his expression was quite normal, completely ignoring the girl's words.

Bagster lowered his head, his face was a little embarrassed, but he still held on and didn't say anything.

After evaluating it in my heart, recalling Bagster's previous attitude, I made a decision.

"Then join in, Bagster."

And Isil's face froze, he opened his mouth, and finally obeyed his father's order without saying anything.

The silly girl was very surprised, she looked at me incredulously, she didn't think about this strategy at all: "Really? Mordred... is this really possible?"

"With Bagster here, you can rest assured, right?" I said with a smile, "You haven't talked much these days, and you can't let go in the team. If you have anything to do in the future, tell Bagster It’s better to say it than to be bored in your heart. Moreover, Bagster’s strength is indeed good, and he is sincere to you, and can be my companion.”

"Mordred, I need you. As a calamity on the run, Bagster is not only wanted by the Eternal Queen, but also wanted by His Majesty." Ithil said forcefully, "If Bagster becomes our companion, Our position will become very embarrassing, and it will be difficult to explain when we explain it to the outside world in the future."

"It's easy to explain, Ithil. On the bright side, I am an extra knight of the Dragon Legion, and you are a great knight of the Dragon Legion. And Bagster has also regained his rationality in his performance. Then we can declare , we are based on the instructions of the legion to test and examine the state of Bagster. Considering the position of the dragon legion, neither ordinary residents nor the Queen's bureaucrats and army will have any opinions on this."

"This is to usurp His Majesty's power! Mordred, even if you are the Dragon Prince, you cannot do this!"

"Then you should think that since I am the Dragon Prince, and I have never revealed this identity in Britain before, this means that there is a special channel of communication between me and my father. The relationship between us is not an ordinary monarch and The relationship between courtiers, but the true father-son relationship." I said something that was true but could be misunderstood, and showed my posture. "Isir, if you don't believe me, you can ask your father, is this an arrogance? But I think, asking your father about such a small matter, as a subject, is a negligence of duty——Isir, please remember your identity."

When I said these words, Bagster was skeptical, the girl was very complicated, and the landlady's eyes lit up, like those women who love to gossip on TV when they hear some shocking secrets.

Ithil gritted his teeth and finally gave in.

Monarchies—especially absolute monarchies exercised by fathers—have always been like this.

The king's words are the law, and the king's attitude is the supreme verdict.As a member of the Dragon Legion, Isil's position is different from that of her father.The glory of the dragon army and some unshakable principles that she values ​​are not important things in the eyes of the king, and can be adjusted according to the situation.

Although he is a wooden knight, Isil's political level is not particularly low.She understands the relationship between knights and kings, but she doesn't understand the relationship between heirs and kings—Meluxin is indeed the adopted daughter of her father, but she is not an heir after all, and has always been trained as a knight.This made Isil make a wrong judgment.

I can actually explain these.However, once many things are explained clearly, it will damage the royal power.That is the usurpation of the authority of the father, and that is the last thing I should say.

No matter how dissatisfied Isil's attitude is, I can only give this answer.

"So... Mordred, are you really the child of that Dragon King?" Bagster asked uncertainly.
