Artoria wants to read people's hearts

Arturia smiled and accepted the other party's favor, and then politely opened her mouth to tell the location of her stronghold.

The two communicated with each other about this, and finally reached an unusually friendly consensus.

After saying a few more words, Rick suddenly seemed to remember something and slapped his thigh suddenly.

"By the way, I have something to tell you."

He said to the blond girl, "Some time ago, I got information that there was a goblin military base that was recently destroyed not far from the south. I think I should be able to get some useful information there. .”

He smiled, and Artoria heard the other party's voice in the night wind.

"I plan to go there to investigate in a few days, how about it, do you want to go with us?"

Goblins, again goblins.

Artoria raised her eyebrows, feeling a little helpless and amused by this, but this little emotion did not affect her acceptance of Rick's invitation.

"In that case, I'll go with you."

She blinked her eyes, and then added, "The agreement we have reached, I will tell our leader after I go back this time, and if there are no accidents, there should be someone who will go with me to the place you talked about." I don't know if you would mind this matter?"

"What's this."

"After all, it's the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two strongholds. You should report to the leader when you go back." Shaking his head, Rick's purple eyes flashed a smile, and he instructed, "But don't follow too many people. , as you know, the more people there are, the easier it is to expose their whereabouts."

After he finished speaking, he said that it was the location and time of the meeting, and the two finally finalized the matter.

"It's getting late." Rick looked up at the still dark sky, "The night can hide my figure, so I have to hurry back before daytime."

He put the hood on his clothes, stood up and said goodbye to Arturia.

"Don't forget our agreement, at last...."

Rick stared at the blonde girl in front of him with the purest eyes.

"...all for humanity."

Seeing this, Artoria had a solemn expression, she turned around and solemnly performed a knight's salute in response.

"——everything is for human beings."

Chapter 14 Dumb Hair Exuding Confusion ([-] in [-])

Now that she has decided to have a showdown with Mr. Warren, Artoria is not as eager as before when she returns.

She even said that in order to let others know that she had gone out tonight, she deliberately slowed down, just to let others witness the scene of her return from the outside.

The purpose of all these actions is to add credibility to her next statement.

So, around 7 o'clock in the morning, Artoria entered through the gate and returned to the stronghold.

She didn't hide her figure, so everyone who got up early saw the blond girl coming back from the outside, and then hurriedly walked in the direction of the leader's house.

What's going on here? "

With a look of astonishment on her face, a woman wrapped in a headscarf asked the little sister beside her.

"I don't know either." Her little sister couldn't help shaking her head after hearing this, with a puzzled look on her face.

Did not get an answer from the other party, and the woman didn't care much in her heart.

She looked left and right first, and after seeing that everyone noticed this matter, she couldn't help but start to itch.

She has a gossiping nature, God knows how much she wants to follow up and take a look at this moment.

but........

Looking down at the farm tools in her hands, the woman finally sighed, then pulled her little friend back and walked towards the vegetable field that the two of them were in charge of.

The sky is big and the earth is big, and the work is the biggest.

In their stronghold, there is nothing more important than their own work at hand.

After all, other people who gossip can get nothing but happiness, but the vegetable field is different. The vegetable field can really let them get the harvest of labor.

You know....compared with momentary gossip entertainment, not being hungry is the most important thing in this world.

Seeing the two of them walk away, the others couldn't help but look at each other.

After staring wide-eyed, everyone turned around and scattered in a tacit understanding.

In the same way, everyone knows that work is a big deal, so it is the most important thing to finish the work at hand first.

Counting the time in her mind, Artoria arrived at the door of the leader's house.

Before she could start knocking on the door, the wooden door in front of her creaked and was opened from the inside out.

With cloudy eyes and a vicissitudes of life and a mature temperament, it was the leader of their small stronghold—Mr. Warren.

"??!"

When he saw Artoria standing in front of his room door, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and after he realized it, he hurriedly asked.

"Pendragon, did you come to see me this early in the morning for something?"

"Indeed." Nodding slightly, Arturia said to him, "Because of some emergencies, I have something to report to you, Mr. Warren."

emergency?

Hearing this, the leader couldn't help frowning.

After pondering for a while, he stepped aside, "I understand, but the outside is not a place to talk, so come in first and then talk."

"If that's the case, then don't bother me." Nodding, Artoria didn't refuse, and walked into his room directly.

The house is not big. Although he is the leader, Mr. Warren lives in the same log cabin as the others.

With uniform specifications, she can see the whole layout of the whole house at a glance.

Arturia stood in the room and smiled, and then asked, "I really feel sorry for coming so early, has Mr. Warren had breakfast?"

"Used, used."

Looking at her tall and straight figure, Warren couldn't help shaking his head and sighing with emotion.

"I'm old and can't sleep. I wake up at about 5 o'clock, so the time to eat is also early."

As he spoke, he led Artoria to sit at the only table in the house, "Sit down for a while, and I'll get you a glass of water."

"Thank you." She nodded and sat down obediently on a bench in front of the table.

Not long after, Warren came over with a bowl of warm water and placed it in front of her.

"Drink some water, I think you are dressed like this, you should rush to my side before you can go home."

As he spoke, he also sat on the opposite side of the table, and looked up at the girl who was drinking water with a small sip.

He is not a fool, nor is he blind.

The other party's attire looks like he just came back from the outside.

Although he didn't know why Pendragon went out quietly at night, but based on his trust in the girl, he believed that she would never do anything harmful to the base.

Warren wondered, if Pendragon came to him early this morning, was he going to talk about her going out alone last night?

Sure enough, Arturia admitted this matter very simply.

"Mr. Warren is really discerning." The girl tilted her head, with a slight smile on her lips, "I knew this matter could not be hidden from you, as you said, I did not come back from the outside not long ago. .”

With a gentle smile, a delicate face, and an attitude of admitting it frankly, this kind of Pendragon really makes people feel uneasy at all.

"You child."

Smiling helplessly, Warren chose not to dwell on this matter anymore.

"Tell me—" he raised his eyes to look at the other party, "—what is the purpose of you coming to me?"

Seeing that the conversation had come to the point, the hair on the top of Artoria's head trembled, and her face became a little more serious.

"It's like this." As she spoke, she took out the two machines from her small satchel again, and then handed them to the middle-aged man in front of her, "Didn't we find a goblin species a while ago?" The ruins of , where we found these two machines."

After she finished speaking, she paused, and then added in a disguised way, "I found one at the time, and I got the other one from Barry."

Barry, the young, pockmarked member of the hunting team.

As a small stronghold with less than a hundred people, all the people in the stronghold, Warren, as the leader, are familiar with it by heart.

He nodded, accepting the other party's statement.

Seeing this, Artoria continued to speak, "You know, I was...a traveler before."

There was an imperceptible pause in the lie, but Warren didn't notice it.

"As a traveler, I have some experience in traveling all over the world, so when I saw the two machines, I felt that there seemed to be something in it."

"As expected——" Artoria sighed softly, "—maybe the energy inside hasn't dissipated yet, after I fiddled with them, they were actually able to open."

After all these years, they still work? !

This is really a rare thing.

Warren's eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't help lowering his head to carefully look at the two small, square machines in his hands, but he didn't see anything carefully when he looked left, right, left, and right.

Seeing this, Artoria quickly stretched out her hand and tapped it symbolically a few times.

After entering the magic power, the screen on the machine naturally lit up.

Under the faintly lit light screen of the machine, there was suddenly a figure outlined with countless simple lines.

This is definitely a map, Warren concluded with just one glance.

"So you looked for it...?"

He raised his head in doubt, his tone was a little unbelievable.

"Yes, I just went looking for it last night."

"Huh—!" He couldn't help taking a deep breath after hearing this, "——Pendragon, you are really amazing."

Half of it is admiration, but the other half is disapproval of the other party acting so boldly.

"Do you know how dangerous it is?"

Squinting his eyes, he seemed a little annoyed.

I'm sorry, sir. "The blond girl lowered her eyes, avoiding the brown eyes of the other party.

She hammered her fist on her chest with her right hand and bowed slightly to Warren.

"My behavior was indeed somewhat reckless, please forgive my immaturity."

She knew that she was not afraid of danger, but the other party didn't know, so she wasn't actually angry at the other party's accusations. After all, it was a kind of elder's concern for the younger generation, wasn't it?

"........"

According to Warren's vision, he could only see the blonde girl's forehead hair and trembling eyelashes at the moment.

"Hey......"

With a long sigh, he couldn't get angry at Arturia's overly straightforward attitude of admitting his mistakes.

"Forget it." Shaking his head, he tapped his hand on the table with a serious expression, "Pendragon, promise me, you won't be allowed to do this kind of thing a second time."

"Well......"

Her eyes fluttered for a moment, and Artoria finally nodded and agreed.

"I understand, I won't put myself in danger next time."

"That's right." Nodding his head in satisfaction, he continued to ask, "So, did you find anything there?"

"No." Shaking her head, the blond girl gave a negative answer, "However, I met a young man named Rick Dora there."

"Humanity?"

"Humanity."

Strange, how could human beings appear there?

Before he could continue to think about it, Arturia directly explained to him the news she had received.

"That's how it is."

Finally, she made a final conclusion for her explanation, "Because the incident happened suddenly, and the situation at the time did not allow it, so I responded to these things on the spot."

After a pause, she raised her eyes to look at the leader who was in deep thought at the moment.
