Volume 1 Chapter 81 Familiar and Strange People
"Kiki!"
Lux, who sensed my intention to hug her tightly from my actions, suddenly burst into tears in her sapphire-like eyes, and then these tears could not stop flowing down her white and smooth cheeks, and the pain in her heart made Lux cry out hoarsely for the name of her beloved......
On our side, Kong Wanying, who reacted before Alice, looked at the car falling from the sky in horror, and was stunned for a while; Alice, who was dragged by her to the ground, also turned over at this time, and at first glance, she naturally saw the car falling from the sky, which made her can't help but let out a piercing scream; Only Reed, when he saw the sedan falling from the sky, his face also couldn't help but change, and then he glanced at me and Lux, who were less than two meters away from him, although he knew that it was too late, but he still kicked his feet and pounced on us, not caring about his life or death at all, but unfortunately Reed's speed of flying could not catch up with the speed of the car falling after all......
The Mafei S320 limousine that was overturned by the explosion finally fell with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, just when Lux thought that we were all going to inevitably die under the pressure of the car, a gust of wind suddenly blew past us, it was so gentle, like the hands of parents, gently soothing our pain......
"What is this?"
Through the crack in my neck, Lux saw a figure suddenly appear behind me, she didn't look tall, she could even say very small, she just stood there quietly and motionlessly, as if she had been there since the beginning. But Lux clearly remembered that she had only appeared here just now, just after the wind had blown away, and before that, it had only been the car that was about to fall.
Thinking of the car that was about to fall, Lux couldn't help but raise her eyes slightly, and then the scene that met her eyes made her froze......
The sedan that fell from the sky with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai was firmly supported by a slender white little hand that seemed to break at a break!
That hand is so slender, that sedan is so huge, slender little hands, huge sedan, this extreme contrast, this very visually striking scene, makes Lux fall into the petrification of thinking in the next moment he sees this picture.
She couldn't imagine what kind of huge force she should have to be able to support the car falling from the sky, which weighed nearly 3 tons! (The weight of the body plus the impact of the explosion) What's more, the other party still looks very relaxed and simple, and that ordinary appearance makes people have to wonder - is she still a human being?
I didn't see this amazing picture with my back to the car, but Kong Wanying, Alice, and Reed, who had just rushed towards us, who watched the car fall, saw this amazing scene. They all froze like Lux, and their minds were also in a state of inability to think at this moment, until a slightly magnetic and pleasant voice sounded in their ears, "Are you all right?" β
The flames that stained the sky red gradually shrank and extinguished, and the wind caused by the explosion gradually disappeared, and when I heard this familiar voice, I slowly stood up while holding Lux, and at the same time raised my head to look in the direction where the voice came from, and a face that seemed familiar and seemed very unfamiliar suddenly met my eyes.
Her golden hair, which was as dazzling as the sun, was tied behind her head with a blue ribbon, and the breeze blew a small tail of the blue ribbon to a slight undulation, and the golden bangs that fell on both sides of her cheeks also rippled slightly, and on her head, a golden silly hair that stood up and fell as if watching me, swaying up and down.
Her willow eyebrows are thin and delicate, but they look like sword eyebrows, heroic and compelling; Looking at us is a pair of green eyes like a lake, which are clear and translucent, and imply concern for our safety; Beneath the delicate, small nose is a cherry-like pink and charming mouth; Coupled with her melon seed face that does not apply fat powder and is as smooth as jade, the first impression is quiet, gentle, dignified and beautiful.
She wore a simple white shirt on her upper body, a blue bow also tied with a blue ribbon on her graceful and straight chest, a blue knee-length skirt under the slender waist, slender legs wrapped in smooth black stockings, and a pair of brown flat shoes on her small and delicate feet.
Although her dress is simple, no matter how simple her clothes are, she seems to be born with a noble temperament, even if she just stands there quietly, even if she only slightly curls the corners of her mouth, revealing a gentle smile, she looks like a noble girl in the European court, that is, gentle and elegant, but also noble and charming.
This simple and familiar dress, as well as the strand of golden dull hair that symbolized the identity of the other party, made me stunned, my lips opened slightly, and an almost inaudible voice suddenly blurted out: "Al...... Tolia ......"
"Huh?"
She didn't seem to hear my murmur, and her gentle green eyes looked at me quietly with a hint of doubt.
"No...... It's nothing...... Thank you for the prompt rescue. β
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar face, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar dress, my heart was filled with thoughts, as if I had a lot to say to Artoria. For example, how did you exist in this world? For example, are you really the Artoria I remember? For example, do you have the Sword of Victory of the Oath?
But at the end of the day, I didn't know what I should say, after all, my knowledge of her only existed in anime, not to mention that this was just the first time we met each other? In fact, I had no idea that I would meet her in this world, as Artoria Arthur Pendragon......
"Lux, are you alright?"
After suppressing the surging thoughts, I immediately paid attention to Lux's condition, although I had already held Lux in my arms, but I was not sure that this would save Lux from harm, so I naturally nervously checked Lux's physical condition.
"Hmm...... It's okay, Kiki, but I feel some pain in my back, maybe Kiki hit the gravel when he knocked them down just now. β
Hearing this, I went around behind Lux to examine it, but I couldn't see a single wound, not even the clothes were intact, at most a little dust.
At this moment, Reed, who was stunned by Artoria's astonishing act of propping up the car, and fell to the ground in the middle of the flight, easily stood up with a lazy donkey rolling, and then he walked slowly towards us. As he walked, he looked back and forth with strange eyes at the sedan on Artoria's head, and her slender jade hands holding it.
Kong Wanying, who also came back to her senses, tried her best to pick up Alice, who was still in a frightened state, and also came to our side step by step.
"Thank you for saving us......"
Kong Wanying and Alice, who were not far from us, came to us before Reed, Kong Wanying's eyes widened, staring at Artoria with rude eyes as if she had seen a monster, and after thanking us, she asked in a caring tone in a low voice: "Then...... That one...... Aren't you tired of holding a car? β
Kong Wanying's ridiculous inquiry did not make Artoria angry, her eyes were still gentle, and after looking at me and Lux with strange eyes, Artoria turned her gaze to Kong Wanying, only to see a shallow smile on her beautiful face, and then replied seriously: "Not tired." β
Artoria's answer was obviously beyond Kong Wanying's expectations, which made her embarrassed, and her already charming and charming face was set off by the flush, adding a bit of bewildering charm.
"But it's really inconvenient to hold it like that."
After saying that, Artoria's little hand holding the chassis of the sedan lifted upward, and then the car, which had been tilted at an angle of forty-five degrees, as if pushed by an invisible monster, actually bounced upward, until it showed a ninety-degree angle, then it stopped and no longer swayed. This seemingly light but amazing scene naturally made us stunned for a while.
"This big sister, I don't know what to call you?"
Lux, who didn't know what to say about the other party's behavior, looked at Artoria carefully after checking her physical condition and making sure that there was no problem. Because she had obtained my memories, it was naturally impossible for Lux not to recognize who the big sister in front of her was, but she still asked knowingly like this, after all, this is the first time the two sides have met - in fact, Lux also did not expect to meet the Artoria I remember, which was completely unexpected.
"You can call me Artoria......"
Lux and I were both slightly stunned to hear the exact same name as I remembered, but we quickly came back to our senses, after all, we were already mentally prepared.
Later, Lux also took the opportunity to introduce us to Artoria, "It's Lux Klein; This is someone's fiancΓ©, Chi Klein; This is the housekeeper, Alice Flass; This is Kong Wanying; He's someone's bodyguard, Reed Noahs. β
"Then, thank you Sister Artoria for saving our lives, in the future, if Sister Artoria needs anything, she can contact her home directly, and the contact number is ......"
Lux finally confirmed that Artoria in front of her was the 'King Arthur' I remembered, but that didn't stop her from thanking Artoria for saving her life.
In fact, if Artoria hadn't appeared in time, I'm afraid that our group would have died under the oppression of the car, and this great kindness would not be repaid! - Although Lux didn't think Artoria would be missing anything, she still gave her contact number seriously.
"It's just a gesture...... Artoria smiled modestly, and then her eyes fell on me, she looked me up and down, a little puzzled, and asked as if to confirm something, "Are you strange?" β
Strange inquiry, at least that's what Lux and I thought, but I didn't know why Artoria asked like that, so I naturally smiled and replied, "Well, I'm Qi, Chi Klein." β
Artoria nodded as if she had finally confirmed something, then turned to look at Lux and asked an equally strange question, "Are you Lux Klein?" β
Lux, who didn't know what was going on, looked at Artoria suspiciously, but Lux, who also couldn't understand why Artoria asked this, could only reply with a sweet smile in the end: "If people remember correctly, there shouldn't be a girl with the same name and surname as someone else in the world." "The name Lux may be repetitive, but if you add the surname 'Klein', it is enough to make it unique, which is why Lux is so sure.
"Hmm...... With pink hair and big eyes as beautiful as sapphires, I don't know if she was born on February 5, C.E. 55, but I think it's right to think she's right...... After all, there is a boy named 'Qi' beside her. β
Thoughts swirled through Artoria's mind, though she couldn't really confirm if he was 'him', "Lux, could you please tell me the contact number again?" Maybe there's something that needs your help in the future. β
In any case, since they bumped into each other, and the possibility of 'him' is very high, Artoria naturally has no reason to let it go easily.
"Huh? Good. β
Lux, who didn't understand what Artoria's plans were, saw that Artoria really seemed to need her help with something, and Lux, who was very happy that she could repay the other party, naturally did not hesitate to repeat her contact number again.
"Hmm...... I remembered. β
Artoria carefully wrote down the contact number that Lux had given her, and she even repeated it once to strengthen her memory, before she smiled and said gently: "I saw a fire suddenly burning here on the other side of the river, and after a curious look, I saw that you were in danger, so I rushed to the rescue...... I can't sit idly by and watch two children die...... And I'm glad to be able to help you get out of danger. With that, Artoria glanced around and asked, "I wonder what you're going to do next?" Strange, Lux, can I call you that? β
"Of course, Sister Artoria."
Naturally, Lux would not object to Artoria's slightly affectionate title, and she was also very curious about Artoria, but after hearing Artoria explain the reason for her arrival, Lux, who felt strange, looked up into the distance and asked curiously, "The other side?" β
"Well, that's it......"
Hearing Lux's question, Artoria smiled and held out her hand, pointing to another island in the distance.
Lux looked down where Artoria was pointing, and could faintly see a dark shadow the size of a tailfinger, and from its vaguely discernible outline, Lux concluded that it should be an island.
"I'm afraid it's not less than a few hundred meters from here, right?"
If it is more than a kilometer, Lux will definitely not be able to see it, and based on this, Lux has come to the conclusion that it is not less than a few hundred meters away from us in a straight line, of course, I don't know more specifically.
Kong Wanying, Alice, and Reed, who were also looking at the place where Artoria was pointing, had also estimated how far away the island was, although it may not be accurate, but no matter how you look at it, such a distance is beyond the reach of human beings, and this discovery made their expressions strange for a while.
"Well, it's about six hundred meters."
Artoria said the data with a breezy face that made us all gasp.
600 meters is not 60 meters, 6 meters can be crossed in a moment, even if we take the Mafei S320 limousine at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour, it will take nearly 18 seconds to complete this distance, and this is still a straight line distance!
"Uh...... It's far away. β
Lux didn't know what to say, the distance of six hundred meters from discovery to arrival seemed to be more than ten meters at Artoria's feet, and it was not difficult to guess that this distance was nothing to her from her relaxed tone.
"Well, no matter what, we're finally out of danger anyway......"
Thinking about it, Lux, who was sincerely happy, showed a smile of joy, and even her big beautiful eyes smiled like two crescents, which looked really cute.
