No one knows King Arthur better than I do

What Carl can think of, she Morgan can think of too.

But she looked at the three knights who were sitting by the bonfire eating, seriously discussing the issue of the next goblin lair, and summarizing the battle by the way, and shook her head helplessly.

"These three guys will not be persuaded by such reasons."

"And with the Queen of the Shadow Country's ability, if she really wants to do something to us, it's too late for us to escape now—so don't worry too much, we will act step by step, if there is really something If there is a problem, let’s talk about it at that time.”

Hearing what Morgan said, Carl thought for a while, and finally could only nod.

It was getting late after dinner.

They simply stayed here overnight, and it was not until the next morning that Karl was woken up by the system.

[Congratulations to the host for getting the slash (A)]

[Slash (A): After the host holds a sword weapon of a certain level (referring to at least the level of a holy sword), he can issue a flying slash to attack the opponent from a distance]

Eh--!

When I first saw this skill, Karl thought that what he drew this time was something that would allow him to wave while holding a wooden stick, but he had to hold a weapon of at least the holy sword level to use it... Isn't that just a garbage skill!

- the most rubbish ever!

If I had a holy sword, I would do this.jpg

Carl concluded that what he needs most now are actually three things.

The first is the magic light stick or something like that.

It would be very strong if it could be transformed into an Ultraman or something.

The second is the level of at least the sword of the holy sword.

The last word—it is actually the defensive ability.

His absolute defense can basically last a few seconds at most in a battle, which is not weak, but if he wants to deal with Vortigern, or possibly Skaha, then such an absolute defense is obviously not enough of.

The attack power of these enemies is too strong, if there is only one absolute defense, fighting them is like guessing fists.

And if you draw the defensive ability that can withstand the opponent's attack for a long time, then it doesn't matter even if you don't have a weapon such as a holy sword.

certainly…

The best is naturally something like a magic light stick.

Offensive and defensive.

It's a pity that I couldn't get one.

Carl, who was quite resentful about this, shook his head slightly, and went to cook according to his duties.

After all, today I have to go to the goblin's lair, which is quite far away from here, so I guess I have to start early, so the time for breakfast will also be advanced.

29. The Dying King

The three major ethnic groups in Ireland have their own advantages.

"Giants are good at frontal combat, and those harpies are good at domesticating monsters. If they are given enough space and time, these guys can easily form an army of monsters."

Morgan walked beside Carl, her eyes were looking forward, and she looked a little more serious when she talked about the goblin.

"As for the last goblins, this is a group that is very good at establishing camps, and they generally have magic. Although the location of the lair is marked on the map, it is possible that there is only a door there, and their real Even if the lair is built outside the world and exists in the form of a secret realm, I wouldn't be surprised."

Morgan explained seriously.

then…

When Arturia and the others took Carl and Morgan to find the goblin's lair, Morgan and Carl stared at what was in front of them, dumbstruck.

A circle of wooden fences enclose straw houses. Huge dead trees are located in the center of this area that seems to be a small village. Fairies live in those straw houses that are smaller than the houses that humans live in. active in between.

"This looks like an ordinary village, doesn't it?"

Karl asked Morgan beside him, and Morgan nodded first, but she quickly shook her head.

"Not necessarily, these fairies are very good at building homes, so what you see may be an illusion, and their real lair may not be in this place, so we can't be confused by the things in front of us."

Forehead…

"If this is an illusion, then Al and the three of them have already been recruited?"

As soon as Morgan spoke, Artoria, Knight Kai, and Lancelot had already made contact with the goblins in the village.

Morgan opened his mouth several times in a row, but he didn't know what to say.

It wasn't until a goblin about twice the size of a hand flew in front of them that Morgan came back to his senses.

"Come here, both of you."

Hearing what the little goblin said, Carl nodded, and then looked at Morgan.

Although Morgan still felt that the picture in front of her was unreasonable, at this moment she could only nod helplessly.

"Okay... let's go together."

☆

Because things like goblins are folklore, so before actually entering the goblin group, the goblins that Karl imagined in his mind were all wings, wearing green clothes, and being like little fairies.

But in fact, at least in this fantasy world of Ireland, fairies are fairies and leprechauns are leprechauns.

"I knew that sooner or later human beings would come to the door. After all, this is something that can't be helped..."

The one who spoke was a little old man who looked shorter than a dwarf, and he was not too strong.

In this fairy village, it seems that there are very few fairy-like fairies who brought Carl and Merlin over. Most of them appear in the form of little old men and have no wings.

If he had seen the harpies before, Carl might have found this a bit against the fantasy.

But even those harpies have been seen before, and now it is not unacceptable to find that the goblin looks like this.

"When the giant king and the leader of the harpies came to me before, I knew that this day would come. The reason why human beings can occupy the land is not only the fading age of gods, but also human beings' own advantages."

"They are smarter and know how to learn. There are many talented people who have even mastered stronger power than us. Conquering the sky, the earth, the ocean, creatures and even death are defeated."

"It's really normal for our kind of lingering group that is destined to be eliminated by the times to fail."

"So I have long guessed that such a day will come."

The little goblin shook his head, his old face was full of regret.

"But you still promised the giant and the harpy."

Hearing what the goblins said, the outspoken and venomous Knight Kai spoke directly.

"You promised the giant and the Harpy, so you guessed that we would come, and you can imagine what kind of ending you will face next."

"of course."

The goblin smiled and nodded.

"As early as our last queen passed away, the beloved daughter we protected no longer appeared - since then we should have been expelled from this land. But because we fairies hold the last flame, so We’ve only survived from that time to today.”

"As you can see, we no longer have the ability to manipulate nature, we no longer possess strange powers, and we no longer even have the qualifications to live on this earth."

"You humans have learned to get along with death in your short lifespan. At that time, we laughed at you, thinking that you were the group that was 'preferred' by death, but now those of us who are not favored by death will usher in eternity. fell asleep."

"Very few existences can escape death, and it is even more unavoidable in front of us immortal species who usually don't greet death."

"So don't be soft-hearted, just do whatever you want."

"Our last hope has long been cut off. It is the greatest luck to be able to live to this day. I thought there would be such a day long before you came."

"bring it on."

The goblin's words made the three knights headed by Arturia frowned.

Knights will not attack the weak who have no resistance!

But no matter how miserable the goblins say, they are also one-third responsible for enslaving the humans on the land of Ireland.

That's why they frown.

Morgan noticed this, looked at the goblin in front of him for a while, and suddenly asked.

"You just said that your queen died, and the beloved daughter you protected was also passed away-under such circumstances, what about the king who needs a lot of food to unify your three major ethnic groups? Served by your three major ethnic groups If the king is not on the side of the giant, not on the side of the harpies, then it is only possible to be with you elves."

"So, where is your king?"

Hearing Morgan's words, the little goblin's expression fluctuated slightly.

But after a long time, it let out a low sigh again.

Eh.

"Forget it, anyway, now we have nothing to hide, and there is no hope for us to pursue—then let me show you, our dying king."

30. Inner cloth skirt: 10②003⑦992 sharing exchange group 8①39213⑦4The last world tree

The ability of goblins to build lairs is completely absent in their own villages.

But they have worked hard to build a resident for their king.

First, led by the goblin, Karl and the others came to the dead tree in the center of the goblin village.

Then the goblin opened a door on the dead tree, and took Karl and the others in. As the magic power began to flow, Karl and the others were sent to the outside of the clouds along with the goblin with a beam of light that went straight to the sky. Above the sky where the specific location can't even be seen from the ground.

These goblins built the king's residence in the sky!

Following the light beam, Karl and the others came directly to the island located in the sky above the high-altitude clouds.

But there is no luxurious palace here.

There are no special buildings here either.

It is a simple floating island, and there is basically nothing on this island, only a big tree with few leaves left here.

Arturia, Cavalier Kai, and Lancelot looked around, and after confirming that there was no ambush, they focused their eyes on the big tree. After Morgan also confirmed that the magic trick he had prepared was fine, he and Karl turned his gaze to the big tree together.

Only the little goblin walked slowly to the front of the dying tree, turned around, and spoke when the wind blowing the few leaves on the tree fell.

"This is our king."

Its voice was choked, but it was full of pride.

It didn't seem like he was introducing some dying tree, but rather like the most fanatical believer introducing his true God to others.

Solemn, solemn.

There was also a vigorous force in that old and hoarse voice.

"We are the immortal species, our mysterious race, the king of our myriad races, the last embers of the Age of Gods—the World Tree."

Carl didn't think much of it when he saw it.

Although the name of World Tree is so big that he also thinks it is familiar, but it is like this.

But this thing was a crit to Morgan.

The more you understand, the clearer you are about what something means.

world Tree…

If there is such a tiny branch of the thing in Ireland, it is no wonder that no remnant of the Irish gods has hitherto touched the land of Ireland.

Morgan was a little dazed, Arturia and the others had heard about the meaning of this thing to some extent.

The branches of this world tree are like locks that lock Ireland, or even the remnants of the gods in the British Isles.

It is precisely because of its existence that the age of the gods in the British Isles still survives until now.

So everyone fell into silence for a while.

The goblin seemed to have known for a long time that it would fall into such a situation, so after everyone fell silent, it slowed down its voice and spoke again.

"But it's about to die... Although it was already dead a long time ago, our queen used her own life as the price to ensure that it left such a branch."

"However, that was too long ago... so long that the king has already experienced a death. That time, the beloved girl who was protected by our goblins used her own life as the price to successfully make the king continue to the present—but As far as we are concerned, even if we try our best to snatch human food and provide nutrition and vitality for the king, there is only so much we can do."

"We have no way to save the king, we can only temporarily slow down the death of the king... But all this has reached the limit."
