29. Giants

"Found it."

Following the trail of the ground with the vision of a Heroic Spirit, Artoria came to the woods where Qi Wuce was hiding.

Yes! This is for sure!

Remembering the Knight's habit of stealth, Artoria could almost assert that the creature must be hiding in the woods.

Searching the woods with radar-accurate hearing, Artoria soon heard the faint heartbeat that was almost as slow as a dying man.

Do you want to save him?

For this knight who once betrayed and brought the end to Britain, even if she was as upright as Artoria, she couldn't help but have a trace of the thought of not being able to save herself.

Maybe without Sotfith, Britain wouldn't have come to an end, right?

As soon as a terrible thought came to mind, Artoria suppressed it.

A person's life, maybe only occasionally felt when he was young, the ending will be very different, maybe the former Sotface betrayed her, but now this is just an ordinary person who has never had contact with her.

Helping those in need was one of the declarations Artoria made when she became a knight, and how could Artoria, who had remained true to her heart until the end of her life, indifferently watch a person in need die?

Although there were still complications in her heart, Artoria's body was already moving.

Pushing aside the bushes, Artoria's gaze met those clear eyes.

This familiar face is indeed the Knight of Sotface when he was a child, yes!

"Huh?!"

Stunned, he suddenly stood upright, and the knight who found himself looking for so hard suddenly passed out, and his heartbeat suddenly slowed down by half a beat.

She scrambled to check the body of the unconscious knight on the ground, and after confirming that the other party had only passed out temporarily due to her injuries, Artoria breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of her arrival, this era has begun to change, and she doesn't want more variables to happen in this era because of Merlin's advice.

Using healing magic, which she was not good at, Artoria temporarily stopped the heavy injury from further deteriorating.

After doing the basics, Artoria was starting to have a hard time, because she didn't know what to do with the knight next.

Sotface ...... For what purpose did you betray me? This thought made Artoria forget for a moment how to arrange the helpless things.

Morgan Le Fay's figure soon came to Artoria's mind. Recalling Sotfess's relationship with her sister Morgan, Artoria quickly rejects it.

She had doubted this possibility more than once, but every time she remembered the character of Sotface in the past, this suspicion disappeared in an instant.

After thinking for a long time to no avail, Artoria could only put aside this doubt and think about what to do next.

How should he be placed?

Once again, this question had bothered Artoria for a long time.

Another thought, since traveling back to this era, because of Merlin's horrific words, Artoria had to think through a lot of things before doing them.

Eventually, as if having made up her mind, Artoria headed for the south of Britain with a badly wounded Qi Wuce.

Far away in the underground workshop of Melken at the Abbey of Carmelade, the old mage Malken and Morgan Le Fay are dismantling the corpse of a giant.

"Teacher Malken, it seems that the new junior brother you found for me seems to have a lot of ability?"

Although he had already seen the corpse of the giant in the video, when he actually faced the real thing about 50 meters long, Morgan's heart was still very shocked.

Malken, who had stripped one of the giant's legs, sat on a chair in the workshop and rested with his eyes closed, and the exertional journey discouraged him from leaving the monastery in the future.

"Morgan, if you look closely at the corpse of the giant, you can see the clues, Qi Wuce, that kid is definitely a top hunter in the whole of Britain."

Malken said, pointing to the giant's eyeball, which had only one left.

Morgan followed Malken's point, and the blunt wounds and burns left on the giant's remaining eyeballs puzzled her.

"This injury? If it were a giant, it would be impossible for a damaging magic like a magic bullet or a fire blast to inflict such damage on it. ”

Noticing the doubts of the disciple, Malken, as a teacher, naturally wanted to answer it: "In terms of the giant's magic power, it is indeed difficult for magic to pose too much threat to it, Qi Wuce, that kid should have used some special props with high explosive properties, and I have smelled some non-magical substances at the scene before." ”

"Huh? Senior brother, would he still make that kind of thing? Just using some ordinary substances, you can make items that are as powerful as magic. ”

Morgan was still shocked by the explosives, and Malcoln was already pondering whether he needed to keep the title magician.

I may not want to admit it, but it is true that humans today have successfully reproduced many things that could only be achieved with magic in the past by various means, and as time goes by, more and more magic will be replaced by those means.

Will a magician eventually become a magician......

Malcoln was relieved that he finally had a sense of identification with the self-proclaimed magicians of the Magic Association.

After taking a sip of water, Malken, who felt that he had rested enough, got up again and helped his apprentice to begin to disassemble the giant's corpse.

"Be careful, we're going to disembowel it."

As the words fell, Morgan consciously mobilized her magic to place a shield around her body, and when she first dissected the corpse of the demonic beast, she was disgusted by the spilled things for several days because she didn't perform this step.

Seeing that the apprentice was ready, Malken flew to the giant's corpse and stabbed a long and terrifying weapon through the giant's heart.

As soon as the weapon pierced, it emitted a lilac glow, and the giant's corpse was dissected.

Staring at the giant's corpse, Melken noticed a strange dark green gas coming out of the giant's chest, and his years of experience made him immediately alert.

Quickly flying to his apprentice's side, Melken chanted a spell in his mouth, and a huge shield enveloped the entire giant in it.

One, two, three, and soon the entire shield was filled with a dark green strange gas.

"Teacher?"

Morgan looked at the gas in the shield, his body trembled slightly, and the thought that he was almost about to inhale these strange gases made Morgan's heart feel a little afraid.

"This kid is really going to get me in trouble."

With a wry smile, Malken extracted a little gas from the shield and walked to the test table.
