hero?it must be me

So, this blanket and milk...

"Please wait!"

Seeing the back of Zheng Qi who was about to leave, Bedivere shouted almost instinctively.

Zheng Qi stopped and turned his head slightly.

"you……"

Facing those black eyes, Bedivere moved his lips, then lowered his head and whispered, "Have you noticed it?"

"..."

Zheng Qi didn't speak.

"...Maxiu, Your Excellency Zheng Qi, although this is a bit shameless, can you please sit down... I have something, I want to talk to you."

Zheng Qi walked back in silence, and sat cross-legged beside Bedivere.

Mash was a little surprised, but still responded softly, and sat obediently beside Zheng Qi.

"...Finally, it's time to start, the battle to conquer the holy capital."

After a moment of silence, Bedivere spoke first.

He looked at Matthew: "Are you okay, ma'am?"

This question made Matthew stunned: "Ah... well, everything is ready, but you, Mr. Bedivere... Well, was that the sequelae after using the treasure just now, or..."

Bedivere's silver arm will impose a great burden on himself, which has been analyzed by Da Vinci and the Grimoire before.

"If it's because of Tristan, please don't blame yourself so much, just like the senior said, you have done a good job!"

Matthew comforted.

Hearing this, Bedivere shook his head with a smile: "As for the sequelae, I have been fully rested, and there is nothing serious about it. Besides, I have lost feeling in my body for many years, so it's okay. As for Mr. Tristan, let him It's a pity to escape, but I also understand that he is not an opponent that can be easily defeated."

Lost feeling for years?

Matthew blinked, puzzled.

"Just now... because of fear."

Bedivere lowered his head, half of his face buried in the shadow of his hair hanging down.

"My spirit is actually not particularly strong... At this time, I was so scared that I didn't even have the courage to raise my head... That's why I found a place like this where no one can see, and tried to Vent this fear..."

"Are you afraid?"

Matthew said unexpectedly: "Actually, I am afraid of fighting even now, but... I thought that Mr. Bedwell, like Mr. Zheng Qi, is a person who is used to fighting, and he would not feel any fear of fighting. .”

"Aha..."

Bedivere turned his face halfway, and smiled a little reluctantly: "I'm sure I can't compare with Your Excellency Zheng Qi, but what I'm really afraid of is not the battle itself. I just, um..."

"I'm just, terrified of what I've done."

"I'm worried about whether I'm doing the right thing, whether I've done something wrong, I... I'm really scared, and I can't help feeling scared when it comes to the choices I make."

"Are you afraid of seeing The Lion King?"

Zheng Qi suddenly made a sound.

"Yes...it's only now that I'm afraid of the Lion King."

Bedivere's voice became difficult: "Ms. Matthew, you are also one of the Knights of the Round Table, so... there should be hesitation in your body."

Matthew was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Well, I'm actually... afraid too."

"I'm afraid that I may not be able to fight, I am afraid that I will not be able to help the senior... I am afraid that my failure will make everything in vain..."

Saying that, immersed in the worries that surged up, Matthew couldn't help but look at Zheng Qi, who had never changed his expression.

"Mr. Zheng Qi, have you ever experienced this kind of experience?"

"... want to hear the truth?"

Matthew and Bedivere nodded together.

"Of course there is."

Zheng Qi put down the teacup that he had taken out from the magic tome space at some point.

He looked at the moon in the sky.

"Because you will be confused, you will be firm. Because you will be afraid, you will be brave. It must be easy to move forward without knowing anything, easy to walk, easy to die, no matter what the flood after death. But when you The more you know, the more you understand, the more you will bear without knowing it, then this road will naturally become more and more difficult, and the burden on your shoulders will become heavier and heavier."

"My mother used to say that."

"People live a lifetime, there are always some winners and losers, [I want to win] is useless, it must be [I will win]."

"As for me, as her child, I just need to fight for these unrelenting victories—similarly, there are only such victories, and I absolutely cannot back down."

"What about you?"

Zheng Qi looked at the two of them.

"I... I'm afraid there will still be times like this in the future."

Ma Xiu raised her face and said seriously: "But, I will muster up the courage! For this trust, and for this miracle!"

"Miracle?"

Bedivere asked softly.

"...I died once."

Matthew closed her eyes: "There was a huge explosion, and ruins fell from the sky. I was hit from the waist down and completely lost consciousness. I could tell that I would die in less than 2 minutes... To be honest, I was a little Fear."

"Not only because I will die, but also because I tried to stay awake, thinking about what else I could do with the remaining time, but found that there was nothing to do..."

"But someone rushed to my rescue."

Mash opened her eyes, her gentle face brightened with a smile.

"In the flames, someone held my hand. Even though she knew that I was definitely hopeless, she still held my hand tightly. Even if she was so afraid that the terrible environment around her would take her life away, she would She still smiled at me, her knees were trembling, she just hoped that at the last moment, it would be easier for me to leave..."

"If the senior who cared about me like that died because of me - as long as I think of this, I can't help but have a far more intense fear than before."

"And then, with that came thoughts that were stronger than that fear."

"Now that I think about it, it must be courage... The warmth of senior's palm awakened my courage, and also awakened that heroic spirit."

"I understand now that that heroic spirit is not the only one who recognizes me, he also believes in the senior, the kindness and courage in human nature."

"I was not only saved, but also entrusted."

"so--"

Matthew said firmly: "Even if I'm afraid, I will persevere!"

Bedivere stared blankly at Matthew, and after a while, his expression relaxed.

"Sorry, Ms. Matthew, I used to think that you are the same as me. This is an insult to you, sorry."

"How, how could it be!"

Matthew shook her head and waved her hands, blushing.

"When I heard that you were a subservant, I thought that you, like me, were a fake. Heh, as a Heroic Spirit, you may be distorted, but your inside is undoubtedly the real thing. I Bedivere can guarantee that."

"That, no, but, the fake is...?"

"Ah, ha, it's a metaphor. My treasure is fake, it was made. I said this before. I am Bedivere, Knight of the Round Table. There is no doubt about it, even if I really want to escape from this name. No. Then..."

Bedivere looked at Zheng Qi, and found that Zheng Qi still seemed to be admiring the moon, and lowered his eyes: "I have committed a crime, an unforgivable crime."

"In order to achieve my goal, I started traveling, and I have come to this point today. I have sacrificed a lot for this along the way... When I was at the main gate of the Holy Capital, well, you know what happened at that time , I... even though so many innocent people were massacred, I never raised my head, just thinking about how to take the opportunity to infiltrate the holy capital and achieve my goal..."

"Until, Matthew, you guys started to fight."

"Until I witnessed His Excellency Zheng Qi's heroic appearance."

"I was indeed awakened at that moment, but then... In the following days, in fact, I have been using you all to achieve my goal... How can I say that this kind of me is the same as you?"

Bedivere clenched his palms tightly: "I didn't start to fear until now, fear of the end of this journey, fear of death... Obviously, this is why I have lived to this day, this difficult journey... No, it is because of the hardships , so if this kind of journey fails to obtain the salvation I want at the end, I..."

"...When I think of this, I tremble all over with fear, so scared that I can't help but cry—"

Suddenly, a hand grabbed Bedivere's shoulder.

Then, a force that Bedivere had no time to resist brought him to the side.

"Matthew, turn around, or go back and find Lixiang."

The huge body covered Bedivere, said Zheng Qi.

It was sudden.

But Matthew didn't say much, just stood up, said goodbye to Zheng Qi and Bedivere softly, and left.

"Your Excellency Zheng Qi?"

"I'm not looking at you."

Zheng Qi raised his head and looked at the moon: "The moon is much prettier than you, so—"

"If you want to cry, just keep on crying."

"This time, no one will see."

"..."

The silence, together with the resurging tears, flowed under the moonlight.

5 minutes passed, or 10 minutes?

When the tears gradually disappeared in the wind, Zheng Qi raised his hand and handed a cup of hot tea to Bedivere.

"Sorry, Your Excellency Zheng Qi..."

"The Lion King, I will blow you down."

Zheng Qi finally stopped looking at the moon.

Letting go of Bedivere's shoulders, he lowered his head, looked into Bedivere's eyes and said, "When I peel off her godly skin..."

"At the end, it will definitely belong to your salvation and happiness."

"If you don't believe in yourself, then trust me, Zheng Qi."

"..."

Bedivere met Zheng Qi's gaze in a daze.

After a while, he smiled.

"it is good!"

Seeing this, Zheng Qi nodded silently.

It seems that Bedivere doesn't hate drinking milk, but I'm overthinking it.

Thinking of this, he turned away and continued admiring the moon side by side with Bedivere.

I don't know when the magic tome appeared on Zheng Qi's shoulder, but he shook his head as if sighing, jumped on top of Zheng Qi's head, and lay still.

At this moment, under the moonlight, it is the joy of the banquet and the tranquility before the war.

Everything is finally coming to an end.

Chapter 411 Chapter 110: I will lead the charge!

The coalition army set off on the second day after the formation.

As Lancelot said, with the current momentum of the coalition army, it is impossible for the Holy Capital to be ignorant, and the Lion King's plan has entered the final stage. For the coalition army, speed is the most important thing.

In terms of distance, the coalition army marched all the way and could covertly rush to the edge of the wilderness near the holy capital.

But that's the limit of invisibility.

Around the holy capital, there are no environmental conditions that allow troops like the United Army to hide.

Not only that, with the marching speed of the coalition army, even if it is a quick march, it is impossible to cross this empty and flat distance at night and surprise the holy capital.

There is a high probability that they will set off from the edge at sunset, and arrive at the city of the holy capital at dawn the next day.
