1:149 The Chapter of the Western Heavens (Beginning) Exploring the Ancient Capital (I)

The next day, Arthur woke up to find that it was already noon.

"Why don't you call me?!" Arthur hurried out of the bedroom.

The sun was shining outside and it was a beautiful day. Arthur saw Bedwell and Tristan practicing swordsmanship outside the house, and the boys were sweating profusely.

"However, Arthur was so tired yesterday that he planned to let you rest a little longer. Bediwell paused and said. (Tristan's wooden sword then slams into Bedi's head.) "Bastard, didn't I tell you to leave early today to go to the ruins of Camelo?!" Arthur said angrily, "What if you leave late and Zuihou falls into the night?" "Then don't you go? rest for a day, and tomorrow—" Before Bediwell could finish speaking, Arthur received a heavy punch on the head.

"Whew. Don't knock, you'll be stupid if you knock so much. The werewolf boy protested.

"You're already stupid, maybe a few more knocks will make you smarter in turn. Arthur quipped, "After changing my clothes and having lunch, I will set off immediately." "Arthur, you haven't eaten anything yet—" "I've already eaten my portion." Arthur pointed to a table of lunch (breakfast) that had been swept away in the room.

"Say," asked Bediwell, chewing the bread very hard, "Arthur, you have drunk the dragon's blood again, aren't you afraid of another problem?" he couldn't help but shudder at the thought of Arthur, who had turned into a stone statue.

"I've already asked Greenway for her opinion. She also said that I will drink the right amount of dragon blood if my body can withstand it, so I will drink it. Arthur said, and then he suddenly remembered the engagement to Greenway, and a subtle look crossed his face.

"Huh?" Tristan smiled weirdly as he caught the expression on Arthur's face for a moment, and suddenly thought he had figured something up.

"Alright, I'm done. Bediwell devoured his lunch, then picked up his gear and stood up.

"Don't waste food, eat the carrots in your bowl. Arthur said coldly.

"Aren't you in a hurry?!" Bediwell cried.

"That's why I want you to hurry. Arthur said.

"Bedi, it's not okay to be a picky eater all the time, it's going to never grow taller. Tristan said with a sneer.

"Why are you pretending to be teaching me a lesson, but you keep putting green beans in my bowl?!" the werewolf boy said angrily.

"It's noisy, I'm allergic to green beans, and there's no way around it. The Fish-Man Prince said.

"This lame lie only believes you!" said Bediwell, angrily.

Then Arthur rewarded the two teenagers with a punch each.

"If you don't hurry up, I'll shove these turnips and green beans out of your noses!" he said angrily, making a 'neck-wiping' gesture.

2 p.m.

"Oh, it's finally here. Patrick the Platinum Griffin waited at the entrance to the library, "Stinky boy, my arm still hurts when I bit me yesterday. I'll settle this account with you later. "I'll talk about that later." Can I go in now?" Arthur said nonchalantly.

"Let's go inside. Leon Dickens is waiting for you. "The Platinum Griffin gets out of the way.

As Arthur and his party walked over, Arthur suddenly mischievously opened his mouth towards the platinum griffin and made a "bite" gesture. The griffin jumped back in fright, and Bedi and Tristan, who were following Arthur, couldn't help but laugh.

After a long walk through the damp and musty passageway, the crowd went underground, and the space around them became dry and comfortable. The Grand Duke of Lyon, dujens, was waiting in front of a huge door.

The Heavenly Knight looked very good, except for the bandage on his right hand that could not be used for the time being, he didn't look like he had experienced a life-and-death battle yesterday.

"Grand Duke of Leon Dickens, is the hand on?" Arthur greeted.

"Okay, Greenway said that it will heal after a month of rest, don't worry about it. Leon Dickens, the Heavenly Knight, said, "Now, come in." As if inviting guests into his home, Leon Dugens gently pushed open the ancient door with his left hand, and the smell of books and wood greeted the crowd.

This massive underground structure seems to have a very long history, and its decline has been accelerated by the destruction of the First Imperial Capital, Camillo. But the library is guarded by some kind of magic, and although it is dilapidated, it is not damp or moldy.

"There's no youkai living in here, is there?" asked Tristan, huddled behind Bediwell's back.

"The library is protected by an enchantment, and monsters can't get in. "Heavenly Knight Dao.

"So...... Grand Duke, you turned out to be the administrator of the First King's Black History Library?" Arthur asked tentatively.

"Black History Library?" Leon Dickens immediately woke up as if he had heard some funny joke, and his laughter echoed through the silent and empty library.

"This so-called black history library is just a superficial effort. What's really important is buried deeper down here. I don't manage any library, I only manage [that place]. This is a responsibility and mission that has been passed down from generation to generation in my family. Arthur seems to have heard this rumor. It is precisely because of a certain "mission" that the family of Leon Diggens has been able to prosper so much.

"Yes. Arthur replied quietly, only lightly. From the weight of the other party's tone, it could be seen that it might be a very important [mission], so he planned not to delve into it, pretending not to care, and just passing it away.

"Hmm, don't you want to know what it is?" asked the Grand Duke of Leon, seeing that Arthur had not taken the bait.

"Don't tell me. I don't want to know. Arthur said, "I'm just here looking for a book, and when I find it, I'll leave." As for what is still buried deep in the ground of this place, leave it to those who play with the government and politics every day to worry, and small citizens like me, who have nothing to do with politics, do not want to touch the darkness of this country. "Hmph, do you think it's some secret weapon or something?" "Heavenly Knight Leon Diggens sneered, "You guessed wrong. That's not some dirty, ugly murder weapon. It is the greatest legacy that the ancients left to us. Liliang who borrowed it can even change shijie in an instant-" "I just said that, I don't want to know. Arthur saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly interrupted.

"Well, you'll know when you should know. Seeing that the fish did not bite the hook, Leon Dickens threw out a new fact: "When you have defeated Palinlore, come here to find me again." I'll tell you everything then. The secrets of this place, and what your father, Uther Pantoraken, has been guarding all along. "Is it my father again?" Arthur said absentmindedly, he felt that Leon Dickens was really despicable to use his father to hang his appetite, "You say as if he used nuclear fusion to blow up the entire imperial capital, not to protect the fleeing people, but to protect the 'thing' buried deep in the ground here." The Heavenly Knight Leon Dickens sighed and said mysteriously, "Arthur, Arthur, do you really think that Uther blew himself up to cover the fleeing people, and if you think so, you are too stupid and naïve!" Arthur stared at Leon Diggens in surprise and incredulity as if he had been stabbed with a dagger.

(This is not true.) "My father used fusion to cover the crowd that had fled from the city at the time. My father was there to protect me, and I was running away in the crowd at that time. Arthur insisted.

(No!Don't speak ill of my father!) "Uther is not as great as you think. He was just a knight of the heavenly ranks, fulfilling his mission. The only reason he blew up Camilo was to prevent [that] from falling into the hands of the enemy. Grand Duke Lyon Diggens sneered, "He himself only intends to fight until Zuihou and launch the nuclear fusion technique." The timing of the fusion had nothing to do with the fleeing people - I knew what kind of person Uther was, so he didn't care about the lives of the fleeing people!" "If you don't have time to escape, I'm afraid you'll be caught up in the explosion of the fusion." At that time, I am afraid that there will not be a son like you who admires his father like a hero.

Come on, this is not a novel, do you think this kind of vulgar plot will appear in reality?" Leon Dickens said coldly, "It's cruel, but it's true. This is the [black history] sealed in the ruins of the imperial capital. Arthur stopped talking. He couldn't refute it, and he couldn't do it. Something was slowly crumbling in his heart, and he felt an indescribable grief.

(It's not me that my father is protecting with his life, it's something stupid buried deep in the ground.) (Did he really love me?) (Or did he abandon me a long time ago, just like he abandoned his mother?) (Am I just a burden to him?) "Arthur, Arthur?" Bediwell shook Arthur in a daze.

"Hmm, hmm, what's wrong?" asked Arthur, coming back to his senses.

"Found it! There's a very old book hidden in the darkroom, and I think it's the second volume of the Holy Sword War Secret Record you're looking for. Bediville said.

"Got it, here it is. Arthur said, and followed Bedeville.

Leon Dickens, the knight of the heavenly position, looked at Arthur's back in the distance.

(That's right, abandon your kindness and become ruthless, King.) Only in this way, Pantoraken no, humanity can be saved. Leon Dickens looked at the orc boy's back again.

(You kid is the one who made the king weak.) One day you will be eliminated, and the king himself will get rid of you. Only by throwing away a shred of kindness from zuihou will the king become a true king. Leon Dickens was convinced of it at the time.
