Chapter 81: Picking Up a Life
"I won't let you die like this!" she said firmly, and she took a step towards Ye Mu, and suddenly all the darkness around her faded and turned into holy white. With each step she takes, the world is less black and more white.
Soon, only the white, angelic and beautiful knight in front of Ye Mu's eyes remained.
"You have to come with me!" Artoria grabbed Ye Mu's hand at once. In an instant, Ye Mu felt that his body was in sharp pain again.
"Wake me up!"
Artoria roared, raised her fist and smashed it Ye Mu's heart.
"Please......" Her tears dripped from the corners of her eyes and fell to Ye Mu's heart.
"Goo Dongββ, Goo Dong, Goo Dong ......"
Suddenly, she heard the sound of Ye Mu's heart beating again.
"Could it be ......" Artoria looked at Ye Mu in surprise who had regained his breath. At this moment, a cold hand was raised and placed on her face.
"Don't be sad, you look good when you smile. Ye Mu said this with difficulty, and grinned at Artoria.
I don't know if it was crying with joy, or if it suddenly slackened and detonated the accumulated tears, in short, Artoria sobbed and shouted "Ye Mu" and lay on Ye Mu's body and began to cry loudly.
Ye Mu was very surprised, because he never knew that Artoria still had such a little daughter's family. However, an accident is an accident, although Artoria is not serious, but it still makes Ye Mu gasp and cry out in pain.
But Artoria continued to lie on top of him and cry as if she couldn't hear him.
After her mood stabilized a little, Artoria sat on the sidelines, snorting and her eyes red.
"How did you save me?" Ye Mu asked this question that surprised him. Because he could feel that his soul had risen into the air, just when he was deciding where to be reincarnated, he was suddenly forcibly brought back to this world by Artoria.
"I gave you a streak of my blood. Artoria said, and her body lit up with six colors of blood.
Ye Mu was stunned, closed his eyes to feel the current situation in his body, and he was shocked to find that his body was surrounded by bright green light, and the damaged body and tendons were gradually repairing his broken body with the help of green light.
This green light is the light of life in the body, that is, the wood grain at work. After looking for it, Ye Mu didn't find the blood pattern that Artoria gave him, so he had to stop looking for it. Presumably, the blood pattern that Artoria gave herself has been swallowed up by the wood grain, the snow pattern, and the purple-gold fire pattern.
But fortunately, it was Artoria's blood streak that worked on her, so that she didn't die completely. This is also thanks to the wood grain, which has the effect of nourishing and repairing life.
"Thank you. Ye Mu grinned at Artoria.
Suddenly, Artoria's little face turned red and she turned her head to look away. This made Ye Mu surprised again. Because Artoria's blush was so cute, he couldn't help but laugh.
Artoria seemed to be a little annoyed by his teasing, and punched him directly in the lower abdomen. Suddenly, Ye Mu shouted in pain again, rolled on the ground with his stomach covered, and complained dissatisfiedly: "I'm a seriously injured patient!"
"Hmph!" Artoria turned her head and didn't pay attention to Ye Mu's complaints.
Early the next morning, because Ye Mu, who had been nourished by a blood pattern from Artoria, was no longer in danger of life, but he had not recovered his strength yet, and his movement was also a problem, so Artoria carried him on his back.
"Let's say it first, your hands are not allowed to touch!" Artoria warned, and said murderously, "If you dare to touch it, I will kill you." β
"Good. Perfunctory promise, Ye Mu was carried by Artoria.
It's the first time I've grown so big, and it's the first time I've been carried by a woman other than my mother, and it feels really good. Ye Mu couldn't help humming a little song when he thought about it like this.
Artoria obviously hasn't recovered yet, and every time she walks a distance, she has to stop and rest, and it seems that she has not recovered her strength and blood, just like a stronger girl.
Along the way, Ye Mu was very honest, after all, the other party sacrificed a lot to save himself. The two finally came to the bottom of the mountain, and the villagers greeted them happily.
"Two warriors, there was a lot of movement in the back mountain last night, may I ask if that monster was killed by you?" the old man asked eagerly.
Artoria stopped talking, thought about it, and decided to tell a lie. She grinned, showed a nice smile, and said, "It has been killed by us, you can bring all your relatives back." β
"That's great!" the old man shouted with joy, and summoned the other villagers to go with him to welcome his relatives back.
In order to express their gratitude, the villagers specially arranged for the two to live together in the doctor's home. Taking advantage of the fact that the villagers had not returned, Artoria suddenly said to Ye Mu: "Ye Mu, I can't accompany you to continue walking the rest of the way." β
"Is it because of yesterday's skeleton demon?" Ye Mu had already noticed. The person directly in charge of being sent to exterminate the monsters of the Great Rift Valley half a year ago was Artoria. From their conversation last night, Ye Mu could tell that it should be Artoria who gave the task of killing the skeleton demon to a cronie or a strong person in the empire.
However, the remnants indicate that the strong man who was left to execute the skeleton demon in the first place has rebelled. If a strong man in a high position rebels, it is fine if there is no power, but once a rebellion is initiated by a strong man with military power, then the whole country will be plunged into war.
Artoria bit her lip and nodded, and said heavily, "Lancet, the most powerful warrior of the royal knights, he- has rebelled. β
Ye Mu didn't know how strong the so-called royal knight was, but looking at Artoria in front of him, he could know that the blood pattern warrior of the royal knight must be the most powerful twelve people in the entire country.
The rebellion of one of the twelve people may not be nothing, after all, even a strong man at the level of a saint is destined to perish in the face of the siege of eleven demi-saints. Besides, the strength of the other royal knights is not necessarily just a demi-saint. So the threat is not really big.
Of course, all of the above is just a best-case scenario guess. Ye Mu could derive more information from Artoria's complicated expression.
"Lancet wasn't the only one who rebelled, right?" Ye Mu asked tentatively.
Artoria nodded and said, "Each of the royal knights has a Praetorian Guard composed of a hundred blood-streaked warriors and ten thousand ordinary warriors, commonly known as the 'Royal Knights'. β
Ye Mu didn't speak, just looked at Artoria. A pair of eyes that are not too deep, but they make Artoria a little uncomfortable. She thought about it for a moment, and then she said, "Lancet and the Skeleton Demon have united, and there must be quite a few royal knights who have defected, but I'm not sure who they are. β
"But if you go back now, will you be in time?" Ye Mu asked suspiciously.
Artoria stopped talking, but finally just shook her head. said: "It's too late. β
Suddenly, she said resolutely, "But I have to go back." It was the imperial capital of our empire. It is my duty to protect the peace of the Empire, and I must go back. β
