Chapter 7: Luke's Challenge
On the other side, the blonde girl came to Bath, she came to look for Yu Han, although he was a little cold, and he didn't want to follow him by himself, but the girl was really worried that he would die halfway, and how could the dignified knight king let his companion go alone, and if he didn't agree, he would knock him out and take him away.

The naΓ―ve blonde girl came to Bath with such a thought.
With a clang, the heavy door of the mercenary's tavern was pushed open and slammed against the wall, and the noisy atmosphere inside suddenly fell silent.
The drunkards who drank red ears and the mercenaries who were full of the famous barbecue in this tavern and talked and laughed loudly subconsciously turned their heads to look at the door, and found a handsome blonde girl walking in slowly, in fact, it is a girl, not necessarily, but if you take off this man's clothes, it must be a big beauty!!
She was dressed in neat blue light armor and carried a gorgeous golden sword on her back.
"Another aristocratic lady who was poisoned by heroic stories and dared to come out on an adventure with a ceremonial sword." A drunkard said, shaking his head.
But the mercenaries didn't think so, and the blonde hair, the sword in the stone, and the handsome boy who looked like a woman more than his daughter all told him that this was Artoria, Artoria who was rewarded with 10,000 gold coins by Lord Luke Hodge.
"Excuse me, have you ever seen a 16-year-old boy with a bow and arrows on his back and gray-white hair named Tosaka Hahan?" The girl looked around curiously, and then asked the group in a voice as clear as water.
But no one answered, but the girl felt a strong hostility.
At this moment, the drunkard walked up, raised one hand and wanted to put it on the girl's shoulder, but the girl was immediately flashed, but the drunkard's mouth was full of wine and the girl frowned.
"Can you kill a chicken? Hahaha! Come and have a drink with Uncle Ben. The drunkard laughed heartily.
"Bang!"
The powerful coercion accompanied by anger was released from the girl's body, and the hotel was like a violent wind, and the drunkard closest to the girl was directly overwhelmed by the coercion and fell to the ground, directly unconscious.
Cold sweat!! Feeling the coercion of this humanoid tyrannosaurus, the mercenaries gave up their plans to capture her, "Fuck, is she a monster?" β
The girl looked at the silent crowd, sighed weakly, has been looking for hours and still has no news, and then took out a piece of parchment given by Merlin from her bag, and seriously found the information of the mercenary union.
"That's it," the girl carefully found a sign of thorns and swords, and then walked to the courtyard at the back door, but she didn't notice that the eyes of the few people sitting in the back were scorching again.
"Wow!" The wooden window was immediately opened, and from inside came a Filip's voice: "What's the matter?" β
"Find someone!" Artoria whispered as she stood in front of the window.
"Do you have any information?"
"Well, yes, it's a man named Tosaka Hahan, sixteen years old, with a bow and arrows on his back, with gray-gray hair, who is not seen nearby." The girl succinctly said what she knew, and her tone was serious, as if she was looking for her lost child.
"What do you do?" Filly is a little impatient, I don't know how many times a year I have to take on this small task of finding someone.
"Magician!" The girl replied crisply and forcefully.
"Ahh Surprised, the owner of the voice leaned his head close to the window, looked at Artoria seriously, and looked at it carefully, before asking, "Isn't it a third-order archer?" β
"Do you know this person?" Now it was Artoria's turn to be surprised.
"Yes, he came here an hour ago and took on a mission here." After a brief answer, there was a sound of something flipping inside.
After a quarter of an hour or so, Fili said again, "But are you sure he's a magician?" β
"Well, he said he wasn't, but my teacher told me he was about the same as a magician."
"Alas!" Hearing the receptionist's tone, Fili couldn't help sighing, where did this stupid girl come from, it's really sloppy, it's almost the same, it's just no, it seems that the kid didn't lie to himself.
After taking a closer look at Artoria, Fili's eyes lit up, and then he pretended to be very natural and said, "Ten gold coins, I'll tell you about his mission!" β
The girl nodded earnestly, took out a beautifully embroidered lambskin bag from her baggage, and then took out ten gold coins from a pile of precious stones, and handed them to Fili, who was already starry.
"Perhaps, you can also send a bounty announcement, after all, he may also have something urgent and give up the task halfway." Having picked up almost ten gold coins, Filly continued to recommend new services to the girl.
"Three-day period!" The girl thought for a moment, took out a gem from her body, and handed it in as a deposit. In fact, the girl has no other choice, and who knows where that guy will run to a little later, although the bounty announcement is hopeless, but it is better than nothing, if it doesn't work, it will be found again, it really can't be found, and it can't be wasted here.
Shortly after Artoria walked out of the tavern, a polite young man appeared beside the girl.
I saw that he suppressed the nervousness in his heart, and said to the girl seriously: "Your bounty task in the Mercenary Guild has been accepted, and I hope to meet with you." β
After the young man had successfully delivered the message and left, Artoria hurried to the restaurant.
Since the sun had set, the tavern had already had quite a few more people. When the girl walked into the restaurant, the eyes of the people glanced at the girl, and then turned their heads to continue laughing.
The girl walked in through the back door, this time in the room on the left. Pushing open the door, there was already someone waiting inside, one of the few people who had been in the tavern before.
"Hehe, my name is Luke, and I am very honored to meet the Venerable Knight King." Seeing Artoria, the man who called himself Luke hurriedly stood up and said hello.
Luke looked like an honest middle-aged man, a little rustic, with a jagged beard on his chin that hadn't been trimmed for a month, but the heavy broadsword he was carrying behind his back told Artoria that the person in front of him was a swordsman worthy of his respect.
"Hello Lord Luke, let's talk about the person I'm looking for first!" Artoria thought for a moment about Aktor's admonition (you must be careful in the face of strong people you don't know), and then said bluntly.
"Don't worry, let's eat and talk, I think after a day of walking, you're already hungry." Luke said with a smile, then waved his hand.
Plates of sliced cooked lamb were served, fragrant, and although the smell was strong, it was in Britain after all, and such food was the best Artoria had ever tasted.
"Let's eat together, the knight king is not polite, the Duke of Ector is my respected senior, and you, as his adopted son, are my brother." Luke boldly invited Artoria and took a thick piece of lamb and put it in his bowl.
Then the two began to talk about the details of Yu Han, and Luke answered them one by one.
Judging from this person's words, it is indeed very similar to seeing Yu Han. Especially in some details, it is not something that people who have not really seen can make up out of thin air.
Half an hour later! The table full of mutton had been eaten, and the two of them finished chatting in a polite tone.
"Let's go! You're leading the way, and I can't wait to teach that bastard who dares to leave his companions behind. After repeatedly confirming that Luke was not a commission-coveting liar, Artoria stood up and said.
Presumably, the naΓ―ve Artoria would think that this one wanted to covet the commission.
Luke walked ahead, also out of the restaurant, turned into a rough path, and began to advance towards the square in the city, and after half an hour, the two had reached the square surrounded by spectators.
A good place to compete, Artoria said.
"Lord Luke, is Yu Han here?" Quietly, Artoria looked around and asked Luke.
"Hehe, your companion may be a little far away, you have to wait before coming." After Luke finished speaking, he then changed the topic and asked, "I don't know what the Knight King thinks of this place!" β
Probably didn't expect the plan to be so simple and smooth, which soothed Luke's heavy mood a lot. Looking at Artoria beside her, who was exhaling like an orchid, she couldn't help but start to feel complacent, don't worry, Knight King, after I defeat you, you will be mine.
"Ahem, I said, Honorable Knight King!" Luke stopped, and at the same time stretched out his hand to stop Artoria, then looked around, saluted Artoria, and said loudly: "Honorable Knight King, since your companion may not come until a while, I wonder if I, Luke, can challenge you!" β
Luke's heroic voice resounded in the square surrounded by the audience, and suddenly a high-pitched shout rang out.
"Knight King!! Knight King!! Knight King!! β
A great cry of enthusiasm sounded, stirring up the pride in Artoria's heart, the cry of the people she wanted to protect.
"Of course it's a fair fight! I'm looking forward to it. Artoria replied earnestly and politely.
A member of the people around Artoria was even more enthusiastic when they heard Artoria's positive words, and shouted loudly, "Fight, tremble, tremble!" β
I am very proud and looking forward to it, this is the knight king who pulled out the sword in the stone, and was prophesied by Merlin ten years ago to bring Britain to the light, today I can finally witness the heroic appearance of the knight king, the king's words, it should be very easy to defeat Lord Luke Hodge!
When the crowd heard the shouts of the people, they also responded enthusiastically, "Tremble, tremble!!" β
A huge sound resounded in the sky!
Returning to his original line of sight, Yu Han finished the battle and began to collect the loot, first putting the long sword, gold coins, and rings on Merry's body, and then taking out a black soul gathering banner from the ring, injecting his own spiritual power, and with a shake, he sucked out a pale white soul from Merry's body and entered the flag.
Merry's soul is very powerful, probably the strongest pure spirit in Yu Han's hands, and because of his faith, Merry's soul has the attribute of light, which has a restraint effect on undead creatures like the Dead Apostles, which makes Yu Han plan to refine a few special arrows to prepare for the subsequent northward journey.
Retracting the Soul Gathering Banner, Yu Han looked at the time for a moment, and then planned to quickly move away from Buzz, when a continuous sound came from the direction of Buzz.
"Knight King!" "Fight!"
Intense uneasiness came out of Yu Han's heart, how could Artoria be in Bath, shouldn't she go back to Lundinium!!
