Artoria wants to read people's hearts

Everything is beautiful, the sky is clear, with a few white clouds dotted in the blue.

That kind of blue is shallow, like a piece of blue crystal, it always feels so pure and refreshing.

Looking at it, little Kunti's heart seems to be empty, and finally only the blue sky in front of him is left.

"It turns out...it's really so beautiful."

Na Na talking to herself, suddenly, a line of tears flowed down from the corner of her eyes.

Such a beautiful sky, she really wants everyone to see it together.

Arturia controls the operation of the magic, and she looks up at the little girl with a lot of emotion in her heart.

If she could, she swore that she would do everything she could to help the humans here.

only because...…..

It's not just Kundy alone, she also wants to let more people show such happy smiles.

Tonight's sky is dark and the wind is howling.

But inside this small cave, there is thousands of miles of blue sky, and visitors from another world have compiled a grand dream for the seedlings of human beings.

Not only the blue sky, Arturia also let little Quinty see the sky full of stars, the Milky Way, and the huge river flowing into the sea and passing through the town.

I saw the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers in spring, the cicadas in summer did not know the snow, the harvest of grain in autumn, and the freezing of thousands of miles in winter.

It was a dream-like scene, perhaps in this life, the little girl would never forget what she saw today.

Chapter 6 She Has That Ability (Two in One)

Over the mountains, Artoria took little Quinty back home.

In a huge pothole dug in the ground, the little girl and her parents hugged each other and wept.

This was a very touching scene, but Artoria shifted her attention to other places at the moment.

There are rolling mountains nearby, and the human stronghold to which Little Kunti belongs is built on the halfway of one of the peaks.

However, they are not standing on the mountain, they are just living and expanding in the original karst cave inside the mountain.

The cave is generally three or four floors high, but the space is not very large, but even so, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

Artoria can see the area similar to a residential area, with various buildings of different heights scattered around, the ones built on the ground, and the ones inlaid on the rock walls......

She even saw an undercurrent not far away that was artificially excavated, and the bubbling spring water finally formed a pool for people to live and drink, as well as several acres of Susukida that were opened up and cultivated.

Deeply cultivated, beautiful and peaceful, everything looks good so far.

But is this really the case?

It was dark, and at a glance, it was full of loose and ill-fitting clothes.

The rough workmanship of their clothes, the large patches and rough fabrics seem to be very telling.

What's more... the human beings living in this stronghold, each of them has a numb feeling of being wasted by life on their faces.

Day after day, the machine lives without pursuit, it is a kind of deep confusion without any hope, without knowing where the future and the road ahead are.

She frowned slightly, and a glimmer of darkness flashed in her eyes.

"Master Traveler, thank you so much!"

The trembling voice caught her attention, and when she turned her head, she saw a rather strong but slightly aging middle-aged man.

His eyes were slightly cloudy, but he could feel the mature and steady aura held by the other party from his temperament.

With just one glance, Artoria had a guess about the man's identity in her heart.

Sure enough, his self-introduction also confirmed the thoughts in her mind just now.

"My name is Warren, and I am the leader of this small stronghold now."

He pursed his lips, then raised his eyes to look at the Kunti family who were telling each other how they missed each other.

"My lord, we originally thought that Little Kunti would never come back again, but we didn't expect such a big surprise today......Really, we really thank you very much. "

While speaking, he reached out his hand to wipe away the tears flickering from the corner of his eyes, and this generous middle-aged man smiled awkwardly at Artoria.

"Sorry, I made you laugh, I was really emotional just now."

"It's nothing—" Shaking her head, Artoria said gently to the Warren leader, "——the feeling of emotion is uncontrollable, it's a normal thing, isn't it?"

"Plus..." She paused at this point, her eyes swept deeply over the faces of the people gathered here one by one, "...I can see Everyone’s joy at this moment comes from the heart, and a scene of unity and friendship like this is what I sincerely hope to see at any time.”

When saying these words, the blond girl couldn't help showing a very soft smile.

Seeing the smile on Arturia's face, Mr. Warren followed her gaze and landed on everyone who was in a warm atmosphere at the moment.

With a smile in his eyes, he sighed with emotion from the bottom of his heart.

"After all...everyone is a good person."

The blond girl and the vicissitudes of life, the two people with very different appearances just chatted one after another.

On the other side, the three members of Kundy's family finally smiled and wiped their tears, and came to Artoria surrounded by their companions.

Before she could say anything, there was a "plop", and the thin father directly pulled his wife and daughter and knelt down towards Arturia

"!!!"

Arturia hurried forward to help them up, but Kundy's parents shook her head and refused.

"Master Traveler, if you saved our daughter, you saved the lives of our family!"

Kunti's father and mother showed gratitude. They had nothing good to repay, and this was the only way to express their gratitude at this moment.

While speaking, the father even wanted to bow his head to thank Artoria.

Now Artoria was completely unwilling, and no longer cared about their wishes. She directly stretched out her hand and pulled the three of them up with brute force.

"I accept your thanks, and I know that your love for your daughter is hard to hold, but kowtowing is really unnecessary."

Loved ones, family members, the pain of leaving in front of her eyes, she knows this feeling, after all, she also has family members.

Pain, resignation, reluctance....

That feeling is not good......

"Children are the future of the race, and no one will care if they see it." She smiled when she said this, and then reached out and patted the father's broad and solid shoulder lightly.

The pillar of the family has long been tortured by the previous blows to be extremely fragile, but now, having lost and recovered, he has straightened his back again.

"As a human being, I just did what I should do."

Artoria's words touched the heartstrings of everyone present, and their expressions showed emotion, as well as their heartfelt approval of the words just now.

"Yes.......Yes......" Muttering to himself, the vicissitudes of life father nodded, and looked at his daughter with extremely gentle eyes. "...Children are our future."

Wiping away the crystals from the corners of his eyes with his fingertips, Mr. Warren stood up with a smile upon seeing this.

"But even so, you have done us a great favor by saving little Kunti."

As he spoke, he reached out and rubbed the girl's soft hair, "As you can see, my lord, our stronghold has a small population, so every member is extremely important to us. .”

"So, Master Traveler—" he raised his head, his cloudy yellow pupils met the girl's clear lake-colored eyes, "—in any case, please let us treat you well."

Travelers refer to those lone ranger-like existences wandering between various strongholds.

Although not as good as other races, compared with ordinary humans like them, the travelers all have extraordinary skills, and everyone has sufficient experience in hiding and hunting.

For these travelers, every human stronghold welcomes them very much.

Just because travelers will bring information about other strongholds to the stronghold, and at the same time bring some props that can improve life.So they dissociate among the crowd, and what they do is only for the better continuation of human beings.

And this human stronghold led by Warren is really not big. After all, the total population is only less than a hundred people.

At the 'grand' dinner they set up tonight to thank Arturia, the blond king gnawed on dry-stirred black bread and soaked in bean paste soup, listening attentively to the information that the leader told him.

She listened so earnestly that she couldn't see any other emotions from that handsome face.

"Miss Pendragon, do you know?" Warren patted the table with a bitter expression as if he was getting sad, "Five years ago, when I first took over as the leader, our stronghold was full of people. More than 300 people."

"But, but..." The man was obviously middle-aged, but the man choked up and said at the moment, "...Because of a war, we were affected and died at that time I have acquired so many companions, but until now....... I don't even know which two races the two sides in that battle are."

This is a very helpless and sad thing. The two sides in the war are fighting to the death, but the weak human beings are hiding in the ground, but they can't even detect who caused the tragedy.

"Our surviving people left their previous shelters and hid for more than half a year before finding this cave to settle down."

Sighing, he looked at the people sitting around and chatting and eating with each other at the moment.

"For five full years, I took orders from the dead former leader, and everyone worked together to build this place. I only hope that this time...we can be stable for a few years."

When he said this, he suddenly stopped talking in silence, and just quietly looked at the happy scene in front of him.

Although she was silent, Artoria could see the enormous weight on those broad shoulders.

It was something she was very familiar with called responsibility.

The blond king looked at him, then turned his head to look at the crowd, he couldn't help but clenched his knuckles secretly.

If it was a few days ago, she would not be so sure......

But today....

Now.......

She understands the world and recognizes the human condition.

And she... also has this ability.

Artoria's green eyes flickered for a moment, and she silently ate the last piece of black bread on her plate.

"Mr. Warren." She shifted her gaze to the other person, and her attitude became serious. "I like this place very much. If I can, I also hope to contribute to everyone's smile."

Under the surprised gaze of the man, she said so.

"So, may I join you?"

Chapter 7 Arturia Broke Her Heart for Humans ([-] in [-])

With everyone's happy welcome, Arturia finally successfully joined this small stronghold with less than 100 people.

After all, the number of people here is small, so every addition of new blood is something that everyone is happy about.

So, a week later.

During this period of time, Arturia, relying on her extraordinary skills, naturally blended into their hunting team,

He even pretended that his original weapon was lost, and got a combat dagger from their small inventory in embarrassment.

This is something that can't be helped, after all, the appearance of his vowed victory sword is too eye-catching.

Even if she used the hammer of the upper wind king to cover the blade, but she was fighting with an invisible weapon, which would also make them uneasy.

Because in this world, human beings will never own and use these magical weapons at first sight.

The relationship between people is strong but also extremely fragile, and doubt is always easier than trust.

Although it is said that the most valuable quality of a person is to be able to realize wisely what not to believe, but in this era of grass and trees, Arturia does not want to use such things to touch their already sensitive emotions.

Based on the above considerations, in the end, she had no choice but to choose to suppress her power to the point where no one would be suspicious.

As for what's next... Let's take another step and see.

At least for now, what she has to do is to join them instead of letting them fear and exclude her.

Concentrating the complicated thoughts in her heart, Artoria raised her eyes and looked at the empty space that suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

This endless mountain range is not only a good hiding place, but also a food-rich hunting ground.

Now their hunting team was chasing a wounded prey, all the way north, and the beast brought them here in a panic under fleeing for their lives.

"That is?!"

Team leader Victor's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes suddenly burst into light, with some faint surprise......

He... saw a magnificent valley!

This is a deep canyon, the cliffs and the bottom of the valley are covered with architectural relics of all sizes.

There are ordinary masonry buildings, and there are also criss-cross mine car tracks, which are densely packed and extremely shocking, and the tallest dilapidated minaret is even nearly [-] meters!

The style of all the buildings is goblin style, but here seems to have gone through a long time. It has long been covered by black moss, and the damage is quite serious. The tone of the entire ruins is a depressed black-green.
