Chapter 371: The Lich King and the Knight King

"You...... Will you mock my royal ways? Alsace! Feeling the other party's real killing intent, Artoria subconsciously held her hand on the hilt of her sword and said sharply. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Iskandar and Gilgamesh also looked at Arthas with puzzled eyes, and they were also curious as to why Arthas's reaction was so great.

Among all the people present, Nightfall was the only one who vaguely guessed the reason why Arthas was so excited, after all, Nightfall had also played Warcraft and World of Warcraft, and the two characters he liked and were most obsessed with, one of which was the fallen prince of Lorentan, the Lich King Arthas, and he also knew the experience of Arthas's life.

"Taunt? No, I'm not mocking you, if anything...... "Arthas calmed down, restrained his murderous aura, and his eyes faintly revealed a deep silence and a hint of self-deprecation," ...... It's probably just a narrow-minded villain, and she can't see that others are better off than her! ”

"Are you jealous of me? Why? Artoria was a little incredulous, she could not think of anything to envy the Lich King in front of her, she was nothing more than a dead king......

"Why? Why? Why? Arthas muttered softly, sighed, and glanced up at Nightshade, who was sitting beside her, with a strange glint in his eyes, and then quickly withdrew his gaze, as if he had made up his mind.

Nightshade is a little strange, I don't know why he always feels that the other party seems to know him, but soon he takes this feeling as an illusion, he knows Arthas because of the game, how can this mother-in-law Arthas know himself, I guess I think too much.

"Do you know why I'm called the Lich King?" Hearing Arthas's question, everyone shook their heads, expressing confusion.

Alsace smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "My ideals are just like you, Artoria, I want to put everything I have into the countries and people I protect, to protect them, to dedicate everything to them...... Hearing what Arthas said, Artoria couldn't help but feel happy that someone had the same royal path as her.

"I used to be the prince of the Kingdom of Lorentan! As the heir of the king at that time, I received the cheers of my subjects in the arms of my father, and according to my father, they said that my birth was blessed by the whole world! And destined to take on a huge responsibility! I've always thought so, and I'm willing to take all the responsibilities that I have to bear.

I grew up under the influence of the excellent teachings of my predecessors and a good family education, and gradually I grew into a good prince and a perfect paladin. Kindness, Passion, Integrity, Courage...... At that time, I was living with the Paladin's Creed, and I could really be said to have almost all the good qualities that the world possesses. This is what my father and my teachers and my subjects have praised me. ”

Speaking of this, Arthas paused, and there was a hint of longing in her eyes, if she could, she really wished that time could stop at that moment, so that there would be no aftermath.

Artoria listened to Arthas's faint narration, only a few sentences, but she was already able to sketch a perfect knight image in her heart, just like Lancelot's perfection! Even I can't help but feel jealous......

"And after that?" Seeing that Arthas didn't continue, Artoria couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in her heart, especially looking at Arthas's pitch-black armor, the magic sword at her waist, and the cold and death aura that naturally emanated from her body, she seemed to have guessed something......

Arthas didn't continue, she raised her head and looked at Artoria opposite, and said, "I've heard your story, in order to protect your people, you drew the sword in the stone, and became a knight king from a penniless bastard!" Accept the cheers and love of everyone, shed blood for his people, and give everything he has! Right? ”

"Well, that's right." Not knowing what Arthas meant, Artoria nodded in reply.

"Sure enough, we are really similar, but the ending is completely opposite, it's really a trick." Arthas sighed, looked up at the sky, and said, "In order to protect my people, I pulled out the magic sword Frost Grief, and from the perfect paladin loved by everyone, I became an evil death knight that everyone shouted to kill, killing teachers and fathers, and my hands were covered in blood!" In the end, he became the eternal lonely and cold Lich King! …… Well, is it the exact opposite? ”

"I......" Artoria was speechless, and in order to protect her kingdom, she ended up destroying her own country and became a dehumanized death knight herself?

She's jealous of me? Are you jealous of me, an incompetent monarch who has failed to protect his own country?

"From you, I feel like I saw my past self, and it really makes me a little jealous."

"I ...... I still don't quite understand. Artoria's face showed a bit of bitterness, "Also as a king of the dead country, I can't understand what I need you to be jealous of!" In terms of results, we are actually no different, strictly speaking, we should be sympathetic, right? ”

"Freemasonry ??!!"

Arthas's face was furious, "You guys really dare to say it! If I allowed, I'd love to kill you with a sword! From the first time I saw you, I knew it...... Only you, if you encounter it, you must be killed with your own hands! I have everything I desire, I have always guarded my country, and I am still loved and believed by my people until I die, and this faith can even be gathered into my own strength...... Obviously such a life without regrets and complaints, but in front of me, a person who has almost nothing, showing that disgusting look of regret, are you here to sarcastically mock me? Are you here to laugh at people like me, who don't even have the right to regret it?!!! ”

The vanishing killing intent reappeared, and his fingers rested on the hilt of Frostmourn's sword once more, and Arthas looked at Artoria angrily.

"I ...... I really regret it......"

Taking a deep breath, for some reason, Artoria, who could fight with both the conquering king Iskandar and the hero king Gilgamesh, was a little weak in the face of the lich king Arthas in front of her, and she defended: "I didn't want to show off anything in front of you, I really regretted it...... Even to death, I have not been able to protect my country! I have pursued the Holy Grail to make up for my regrets! (To be continued.) )
