Type-Moon, a human love simulator

People always have to eat!

"I understand!" Artoria suddenly realized: "As a king, what I need to learn is not those hypocritical ways of kingship. I want everyone to live a good life that they long for, and a good life means filling their stomachs!"

Altria's words hit the nail on the head: filling your stomach is a good life, which is the so-called living and working in peace and contentment.

The people's needs are simple, but unfortunately, few rulers of all dynasties understand this.

Kelar was startled for a moment, then he clapped his hands and laughed, "Yes, that's it! You have learned how to be a qualified king, Lily... you will definitely become an excellent king!"

As they were talking, they had already walked out of the endless deep mountains and old forests and officially entered the territory under the command of the humble king Futigeng.

It's funny to say that although most of the people under Vortigern's rule were Ansa, most of the lords under Vortigern were Celts. Not only were there very few Ansa lords, but they were all taken away by Hengist in one wave before.

Nowadays, these lords were either sent back by Kelar and beheaded by the furious Vortigern, or were undergoing reform in Delin Prison.

Vortigern really lacks love and recognition from the Celts. Even though he is such a powerful dragon of disaster, he just longs for the recognition from those Celtic lords of average strength.

As long as there are Celtic nobles coming to seek refuge, no matter whether they have noble blood or not, they can do well under Vortigern.

This behavior is just like that of our countrymen. I can only say that the thought processes of people who lack love are really incomprehensible.

Kelar pulled the hood behind his head and said to Altria, "Be careful. Our purpose is to travel. It is best not to take action if possible."

"...Kai, shouldn't I be the one saying this to you?"

Altria said speechlessly: "Just stop interfering."

"It's okay. If something really happens, we can just close the door and let Fufu go!" Kelar touched the little thing lying on his shoulder. Fufu hid herself out of habit, otherwise such a cute and strange creature would definitely attract the attention of most people.

"Fufu!" Fufu stretched out her little paws to protest. Kelar rubbed her ears and said, "Then you can use 'comparison' to eat their emotions!"

"Fufu! (That's all right!)"

Fu Fu even began to expect someone to be so blind as to cause trouble in front of Kelar.

Damn it, this guy Kelar took advantage of her and not only didn't let her do anything, he actually treated her like a kitten.

Chapter 45: To bear the weight of the crown

While the two were talking, a group of knights covered in rare and expensive iron armor were rushing through the streets. Kelar pulled Altria and dodged.

Although these knights were charging around, there were actually not many people on the streets. A large number of young and middle-aged laborers among the Ansa people were lost in Maple Ridge, and those who were sent back were ordered to be killed by Vortigern. The Ansa people were fleeing every day, and their population was already very small.

The two knights dismounted, stood in the center of the town, struck something like a gong, and then began to announce: "By order of His Majesty Vortigern, this territory has been divided to Sir Al."

"Sir Al's first decree was to kill any Ansa who attempted to flee the territory."

"Article 2: The tax rate will be increased by 10%. Effective immediately, the daily payment will be changed to a monthly payment!"

"Be thankful. The merciful Lord allowed you to borrow money from him to pay taxes so that you would not starve to death..." Another knight said, "The interest rate is very low, increasing by only 1% every day. Let us once again be thankful to the merciful Sir Al."

"Article 3: We will collect grain and salt from the territory. From now on, everyone must buy and sell grain and salt in the store opened by the lord. Anyone who trades privately will be killed!"

After issuing several tyrannical decrees, the arrogant knight left.

After listening to these tyrannies, Kelar looked at Altria and pursed his lips and said, "Now you know why they want to kill the people who are about to flee in the first place, right?"

"Now these people would rather go to the deep mountains and old forests to be with tigers and monsters, and perhaps they are not willing to stay in this territory."

What tyrannical king? Britain doesn’t have Bane to protect you!

Altria frowned, holding the lance in her small hand, and said, "We should rescue the people of this territory, because they will be my people in the future."

"Don't worry about it. You are not a king yet, so don't put the burden of a king on yourself." Kelar touched Altria's little head and smiled, "But I am the lord of Maple Ridge, I can help!"

"Honestly, even Hengist couldn't make such a perverse and expensive thing. I really want to meet him."

Kelar held the edgeless sword at his waist and said, "My sword is not bad either!"

"Your sword is clearly unsharpened!"

Altria shook her golden head to free her ahoge, and then sighed, "Kai, now I understand what a tyrannical government is more ferocious than a tiger... In fact, the good life that the people want is really simple, but why are these lords so greedy?"

Although Britain's Age of Gods has faded, it is still possible to maintain the country's prosperity if people are willing to work hard to cultivate the land and allow the people to recuperate and barely get enough food and clothing.

After all, Kelar never kept his knowledge to himself, and the techniques he used in Maple Ridge were not blocked, so even the lords under Vortigern could learn them.

No matter friend or foe, Kelar sincerely hopes that the oppressed farmers and people at the bottom of society can live a better life.

However, the lords under Vortigern had no intention of learning technology and developing their territories. Instead, they deliberately forced their people to go bankrupt and become slaves, and tried every means to force them to go to war with the Celts.

The Angsa people under the rule of King Vtigen could only survive by relying on looting.

Kelar nodded slightly: "The truth in the book is false even if you repeat it a thousand times. The facts seen with your own eyes are better than any eloquence!"

Originally, Kelar was going to go up and pull out the lord of the nobles in this territory and beat him half to death to punish him, but Artoria's sigh made Kelar want to test him.

So Kelar smiled and asked, "Lily, let me ask you, do you believe that bad laws are also laws?"

A bad law is still a law. The deeper meaning derived from this is that the worst order is better than disorderly chaos.

At the same time, this is also a rhetoric used by the brutal rulers to whitewash the situation.

A truly benevolent person would never accept the so-called "bad law is still the law". Otherwise, there is no need to resist, after all, a bad law is still the law!

Kelar wanted to know, after so many years of his teaching, whether Artoria would agree with this sophistry that sounded reasonable?

"Bad laws are not laws!"

Altria was silent for a long time, then shook her head and said, "Kai, I know what you mean. You are worried that I will think from the perspective of the ruling class, or even empathize with the cruel rulers."

"Kai, you underestimate me, Artoria Pendragon!" Artoria's holy blue eyes were bright and shining, flashing a light that was no less than Kelar's: "I am the Red Dragon of Britain! I am destined to be the King of Britain!"

"I want to be a king, not to become a new oppressor to rule over the people and ride on everyone's heads and domineeringly act like a king!"

"I, Artoria Pendragon, became king to shoulder the weight of the crown for all the people of Britain. I am here to benefit all the people of Britain. In my heart, Celts, Ansas, fairies, and all races belonging to Britain are my people!"

Altria looked at Kelar and said, "I want to become a monarch who surpasses all the kings of Britain and even all the emperors of Rome. If possible, I also want to become 'Arthur the Great'!"

I think Kelar will never forget this day, when a little twelve-year-old girl said in front of him, "I want to be King Arthur," with the light flashing in her holy blue eyes.

Kelar rubbed Altria's golden little head vigorously, and even pinched her hair. He retracted his hand when she was about to be bitten: "Then you have to work hard. The title of 'Emperor' is not given by yourself."

"Kai, let's go!" Artoria raised her lance and said, "You hold the sword, I'll carry the flag, we can go to Britain!"

"Where did you come from, Li Er?" Kelar shook his head: "You little girl should learn from their deeds, but not from their pretense!"

However, there is nothing wrong with what he said. With Kelar here, even if Vortigern himself comes, it will be no problem for Artoria to retreat safely.

Do you understand Kelar’s ​​50-50 level? It’s hard to say whether he will win or not, but he will definitely not lose.

"Lily, I once said that war is the most ominous thing in the world and it is not a benevolent way."

Kelar drew out his edgeless sword and said, "But I want to tell you the second half of this sentence, or the premise of this sentence..."

"All matters in the world are only public and private. I will fight those who fight for their own selfish interests!"

"Fighting for the public, fighting for the people, this is great benevolence, justice, virtue and courage!"

"Haha! Lily...Altria Pendragon, I tell you - "Evil laws are illegal"!"

Kelar's voice was calm: "Listen, everyone here. I am Kelar. In the name of Kelar, I declare that the lord of this place is guilty. If you are willing to listen to my reasoning, then follow me!"

The territory was quiet, no one followed, and everyone was watching.

Chapter 46 Whoever they help will win

Even though they knew that Kelar was a British saint who could defeat 70,000 people on his own.

However, the survival experience summed up by these oppressed people under the oppression of countless brutal lords has made them despicable and cunning, cautious and cowardly. To put it bluntly, such people are a group of rats.

However, Kelar was willing to fight for them, willing to fight for them...

The opportunity for future generations to become humans, not mice, but humans.

Altria's face turned red with anger: "Kai, these people are ignorant and don't understand the principles of being a human being. We are here to help them deal with the cruel lord...but they will only help whoever wins!"

"No, Lily." Kelar said calmly, "Whoever they help will win."

The 'they' that Kelar mentioned seemed to be referring to the ignorant and numb people in this territory, but it also seemed that he was not just talking about them. Sometimes, Artoria found it difficult to understand Kelar's obscure philosophical thoughts.

Before Kelar and Altria arrived, the people here had already suffered from oppression. When Hengist was here, the lords of Ansa collected taxes according to Hengist's rules. Although they were also very greedy, at least they could still make ends meet.

Now these Ansa lords and tax collectors were gone with Hengist, but there would not be a power vacuum. Vortigern sent a large number of Celts and Germans who had just crossed the sea from Europe as lords.

This Ai'er was the Saxon who had just crossed the sea from Europe and joined Vortigern. He was also the founder of the later Kingdom of Sussex.

But strangely, this Al does not believe in Christianity, but the Roman Pantheon.

This belief is very interesting. The Romans were very tolerant and recognized all the gods in the world. Even if they defeated the enemy, they would not destroy the opponent's mythology, but would absorb it into the Roman mythology system and worship it more devoutly.

The Romans' logic was very simple: you worship gods to bless your country, and we Romans worship your main gods more devoutly than you do, so your gods will in turn bless us Romans.

So when Al first arrived in Britain, he began to learn the mythology of the British Celts. It seems that he also wants to believe in a British god to bless him...

After all, the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager, and the Roman gods are too far away!

"There are no barbarians in the world who cannot be civilized."

Kelar rode his horse and clattered along: "I will teach them right away."

"Okay!" Altria nodded, tightened the lance in her hand, and followed Kelar again. It really felt like the two of us were invincible.

The streets were quiet. Kelar made sure that his voice could be heard by everyone. But no one knew whether it was because of Kelar's name or because they were frightened by the cruel lord of this place. Although no one responded to him, no one stood in front of Kelar either.

However, Fu Fu's eyes lit up. The drastic changes in human emotions were food for this beast of comparison.

Long before Kelar came to this territory, Ai'er had already ruled here in fact. Now he has only become legal after being canonized by Vortigern.

There is no power vacuum. Hengist is dead, and all the people he took away will never come back. It can be said that Hengist's foundation has been completely eradicated, but the essence has not changed...

Vortigern is still here!

Since the superstructure did not collapse, even though Hengist's death created a huge power vacuum, someone was able to fill it.

Al was the biggest beneficiary after Hengist's death. The territory he and his cronies occupied was even enough to establish a kingdom again.

At this time, Al was indignant in the castle: "Vortigern is a fool with a bubble in his head. Doesn't he listen to what he is saying?"

Al gnashed his teeth and said, "This White Dragon, whose head is filled with muscles and who only knows war, actually asked us to prepare. Next year... oh, or the year after next at the latest, he will invade Maple Ridge again!"

"My old friend Hengist led 70,000 Ansars to Maple Ridge with great ambitions. What was the result? You saw it, right?"

Al couldn't stop complaining: "Don't care who it is. We came to the British Isles to enjoy life, not to die... Let Vortigern, who is also a monster, deal with monsters like Kelar!"

"But what about His Majesty Vortigern's order?" His trusted subordinates complained, "He just killed dozens of us with a wave of his hand. If you hadn't immediately made a decision and knelt down, I'm afraid I don't know how many more people would have died..."

"If you don't complete Vortigern's orders..."

"What are you afraid of?" Al glanced at him and said, "At worst, we can take a ship back to Europe. There is no way a corpse-guarding ghost like Vortigern can leave Britain. Even if he rots to death, he must die on the British Isles!"

"A few good days are as good as a few good days..."

El finally said: "Well, emmm, the battle between the Celtic white dragon and the red dragon, and the flawless saint Kelar..."

"I don't think this British Isles is a place to live for long. Before we leave, everyone should make as much money as they can. When I say we're leaving, everyone must remember to listen to me and not be greedy!"

"Then we won't be able to leave..."

Before they could finish discussing, they heard a gentle and calm male voice: "I am Kelar..."

Al only heard the first few words, as for the rest?

My mind went blank. I couldn't remember anything and didn't know what Kelar said.

He only knew one fact—Kelar was coming!

"*Angsa swear*!" Al cursed, then said in a panic: "We can't stay here anymore, let's go!"

In fact, El's strength is also very strong, and he has the strength of a first-class heroic spirit, but he has never thought about competing with Kelar.

He was well aware of Hengist's strength, and naturally knew that even if Kelar was alone, he would be easily dealt with if all of them rushed forward.

If you don’t leave now, you won’t be able to leave later!

Al's panicked escape did not escape the eyes of the people of this territory. Somehow, seeing that Al was afraid of Kelar like a mouse seeing a cat, these people who had not dared to resist before suddenly gained unlimited courage.
