No one knows King Arthur better than I do

"I'm really surprised, Caesar. I thought you would join other people to deal with me as usual, but I didn't expect you to surprise me just now."

Hearing that there was something in Romulus' words, Karl suddenly laughed.

"After all, the last time I lost in the end, so no matter how outrageous it is, I still have to try it if I can."

"Otherwise, if you just read it from the books, you won't be able to win!"

For a moment, if it wasn't for Romulus, he could already be sure that the person in front of him was Lucius, and he thought it was really Caesar.

But at the moment when he was stunned, Karl broke out with all his strength, came to Romulus at a high speed that Caesar would never burst out, and punched him out.

——This is Karl's full blow!

Then, in Karl's field of vision, he saw a flash of light, and then Romulus' hand directly blocked his fist, and Karl took advantage of the opportunity to touch and split, and directly distanced himself from the opponent.

With just one punch, Karl probably knew how difficult the opponent was going to be.

So just when Romulus felt that the strength of Lucius (Carl) exceeded his expectations, and he planned to get serious and test how strong the guy in front of him was.

Karl straightened his back and raised his hands confidently.

"I abstained from the emperor's battle—so I won the Nero Festival this time, right?"

……

17. Karl and Artoria's special tacit understanding

First three out of four, and then two out of three—this was Karl's planned victory from the very beginning.

And in fact he really won.

There is nothing to say about winning the ancestor!

Although he was punched and the opponent surrendered on the spot before he could fight back, Shenzu still laughed slowly after being dazed.

"As expected of you, you surrendered so well!"

Is Roman an adjective?

Karl didn't quite understand the 'Rome' that Romulus said, but he still smiled and nodded to him at the moment.

The host only reacted at this moment. While the audience was still a little confused, he raised his hand high and made a loud noise.

"This Nero Festival, the final winner is - Julius Caesar!"

"This is the first victory of Julius Caesar since the Nero Festival was held, and it is also the first defeat of the ancestor of God since the opening of the Nero Festival."

"And this time the Nero Festival is different from the previous ones. Caesar fully demonstrated his exquisite tactics."

When it came to this, the host's voice became agitated in one breath.

"—this is Rome without a doubt!"

When the host said this, the audience in the audience also shouted together.

Carl was stunned when he heard such a loud voice.

so...

– Rome is really an adjective in Rome?

☆

The winner of the Nero festival appeared, and the whole celebration ended early.

Although this time the Nero Festival was mostly due to tactics, many games that could have been fun to watch ended in a crushing trend, but the audience watching this Nero Festival was still very excited.

After all, the emergence of a situation where one side can crush the other is also evidence that Rome as a whole has become stronger.

And Caesar's tactics are really wonderful!

It's definitely not that I'm happy because it ended early so that I didn't have to listen to Emperor Nero sing for two more days... Poof, hahaha, it's all about Julius Caesar's tactics!

Karl doesn't care about the feelings of these people.

After the awards ceremony was over, Karl took the prize money from this Nero Festival and put it into the space ring while counting, but when he thought that the god ancestor was as strong as a monster, Karl transferred the money to in the system space.

——It's finally safe now!

It didn't take long for Karl to clean up here, and then Artoria came to find him.

"Carl, when are we leaving?"

Hearing Artoria's question, Karl shook his head at her.

"In addition to the prize money and next year's share, the winner of the Nero Festival will also have a chance to step into the secret realm and watch some future rewards-up to two people, so we have to collect this reward before we leave. Row."

Artoria was stunned for a moment when she heard Carl's words, but she quickly reacted.

"So it's up to the two of us to attract the attention of the ancestors and Rome, and then take advantage of the trend to buy time for your retreating team in Gaul, right?"

Although she is stupid when she thinks for her own sake, Artoria is definitely a genius when it comes to thinking for others.

"It is indeed like this."

"The key to retreat is in the final analysis how perfect it is to retreat—if it's the two of us, I think it should be fine to escape even if we are surrounded."

"And I asked Skaha to meet us. Under her leadership, the evacuation team from Gaul will definitely not have any problems."

"So you, I think it's a better choice for the two of us to attract attention here in this situation, but if you think it's too dangerous, you stay with Nero and wait for Scarha It seems that there will be no problem if the two of you suppress Nero together after coming here."

In the emperor battle of Nero Festival, Karl has more or less figured out these emperors in Rome.

That Lucius doll is trash.

The God Ancestor is as strong as a monster——for Nero, if Artoria and Scathach join forces, she won't be able to stop her at all.

But this also involves a problem.

That is, in case Rome still has a backup, after being blocked by the ancestor of the gods, it is very likely that Artoria will not be able to escape.

——You must know that his main purpose this time is to save Artoria.

so...

Although it was a bit dangerous for her to face the ancestors with him, but with him, Karl had the confidence to protect Artoria and let her leave.

After all, the Scarecrow, he has already given Scathach.

"No, the two of us are still together."

Artoria's thoughts are surprisingly consistent with Carl's.

Karl thought that Artoria was by his side, and that he would be able to protect her from leaving in the end—and Artoria also felt that if she really made a mistake in the end, then she would definitely die even if she tried her best. Will get Carl out safely.

They both thought so, so their plans were surprisingly consistent.

"In that case—then let's go to the ancestors to apply for entry into the secret realm."

"Ah."

☆

"So that's it - except that I went to the secret realm after we won the first victory, King Arthur, as our future Queen of Rome, I think it's just reasonable to take her to see it."

Heroic spirits cannot see the future from the secret realm.

——Because Heroic Spirits have no future.

But for the first time to win the Nero Festival, it would be a little unreasonable for the emperor not to go in and see it in person-the ancestor of the gods went in for a while when he won the Nero Festival for the first time.

So this time Carl proposed such an idea and was not rejected.

——After all, the ancestor of God had figured out Karl's identity a long time ago, so he felt that there was nothing wrong with asking Karl to see the future.

——It would be best for Karl and those ministers to see the gap in strength between him and himself, and then become smarter.

"Okay, then you two go in."

When Romulus said so, Karl nodded, then patted Arturia on the shoulder, and then led her to the secret place built in Rome.

And Arturia also leaned forward when Carl patted herself.

When the two of them stepped into the secret realm and were separated in the secret realm, Artoria held a piece of Karl's hair in his hand, and Karl also held a piece of Arturia's hair in his hand.

In this secret realm, not only can you see your own future, but you can also see the future of others.

Neither Arturia nor Carl is interested in their future.

——So they both thought that the other party was a better king, and they both thought that at the end of this trip to Rome, they would send the other party back no matter what.

This time their thoughts were no different from the previous ones.

——They both chose to watch each other's future.

......

18. I, Artoria, am King Arthur!

Carl walked into this so-called secret place, and then saw blue light flickering on this deep path.

Countless elves came out from all directions after Karl walked in, and the one who was the leader walked around Karl a few times before finally knelt down in front of Karl excitedly.

"Wang, we are finally waiting for you!"

Ok?

While Carl was still wondering, the elf who was the leader spoke directly.

"You don't know, long ago, a sage once said this to the survivors of the Age of Gods all over the world-the afterglow of the flame will not dissipate, and with the flame, the burning king will eventually rekindle the fire of the Age of Gods ignite!"

"We, the survivors of the Age of Gods, should have gradually disappeared with the disappearance of the Mystery of the Age of Gods."

"So what can stand up in this situation and save us in this situation - is our hope, our light, our courage, our faith, our savior - our king !"

Hearing the elf's exaggeration, Carl quickly waved his hand.

"Sorry, you have the wrong person."

He walked into the depths of the secret realm on his own, and while waving his hands at them, he didn't intend to accept the expectations they gave him without reason.

"I'm not your king, and I don't intend to be any king."

As Carl said that, his voice gradually disappeared in the depths of the secret realm.

Several elves came to their patriarch's side in this situation, with a little bit of confusion and bewilderment.

Only their patriarch shook his head.

"We don't misunderstand people—for us, this mysterious and declining world is a deep darkness, and your existence seems to be the only light in this darkness."

"Maybe you don't know it now, and you don't think you will become a king, but you don't have to be anything—because you were born to be a king!"

"We will be waiting for you until you disappear, great king."

With Carl's hearing ability, he could clearly hear the elf's last words.

But he couldn't care less about it.

He didn't want to be a king. From the very beginning, he wanted to be a local emperor. Now he just wants to save money that he can't spend in his life, and find a good place to live in seclusion with people who are willing to follow him, and live a peaceful life. life.

Carl's thinking hasn't changed much since the beginning.

He is lazy, afraid of trouble, and will feel uncomfortable when the pressure falls on him. He has no consciousness, afraid of pain, and will not take the initiative to do some troublesome things.

muddle along.

These four words can completely explain Karl's current life goals.

It's just that he already felt that he seemed to have embarked on a path completely opposite to these four words without knowing it.

He felt irritated when he realized this.

Now that the elves said that, he became even more irritable.

So he plans to speed up the progress now.

Hurry up to the secret realm to check the situation, and when he leaves the secret realm, he will take Arturia back to Britain, and then directly take Morgan to live in seclusion...

Get up at eight o'clock in the morning and go to bed at ten o'clock in the evening, and live a stable, stable life without danger and excitement.

With this thought in mind, Karl went to the depths of the secret realm.

There is a huge stone in the depths of the secret realm, and Karl put Artoria's hair on the stone according to the method the god ancestor told him before.
