In the depths of the forest, in the dark broad-leaved jungle, it was quiet, and even the sound of insects and frogs had not been heard for a long time, and if an experienced hunter was here, he would have turned his head and left immediately, because he knew that this situation was definitely full of all kinds, and perhaps even he had never encountered a danger that he did not know how to deal with.

In the midst of such silence, for a long time, for a long time, suddenly there was a slight commotion that broke the silence of death.

Among the layers of leaves, a large bald head suddenly emerged.

To be precise, a bare-headed nezumi who are the toughest and toughest creatures in the forest, known as dwarfs.

The dwarf, with a tattered totemic mask on his face and a spear in his hand, poked his head out of the dense foliage, his eyes nervously and cleverly looking left and right to make out the direction.

But the next moment, it let out a scream, as if it was forcibly dragged by something, and its head sank into the leaf again, and the scream lasted for a second or two before it stopped in amazement, and then, as if from somewhere, there was a slight chewing sound, and drops of dark red blood fell from a high place, dotting on the green leaves, and this leaf, as if it had life, quickly sucked the blood clean, and then, a qiē returned to silence.

A creepy sense of horror arises spontaneously.

But such silent terror and death did not seem to frighten the dwarfs, whose slogan was - down, and ten thousand.

That's right, the dwarf's greatest pride is its ability to reproduce, because it reproduces too quickly. In a tribe, sometimes they even have to kill each other to reduce the number of groups and gain living space, and at the same time, they can also use this to improve the strength of the tribe.

Dwarf scouts playing vanguards. After the death of the silent terror. Suddenly, more voices were heard, and rat-man heads began to emerge from the foliage jungle, and soon disappeared again. Immediately after, from below, from the trees, from among the leaves, there was a fierce fight, and there was the squeak of the dwarfs. There were also strange roars that couldn't be distinguished.

These sounds continued for three or four hours, and did not gradually stop until the evening.

At this time, the entire quiet and lush jungle has been filled with a strong smell of blood, and when you look down at the layers of leaves, you can see mountains of dwarf corpses everywhere, lying on the ground, between these corpses. Occasionally, one or two strange monster corpses can be seen, large or small.

Blood flowed all over the ground, and Yiqiē seemed to return to tranquility, only those emerald green leaves and trees, their roots writhing, frantically absorbing the blood on the ground. It appears thicker, greener, flourishing, and gloomy.

That's when it happened. A large group of dwarfs came out again, leading the dwarf wizard. He looked at the blood-soaked scene in front of him with smugness, and seemed very satisfied.

Obviously, with their invincible tactics, these dwarfs defeated other powerhouses and conquered the land.

"Do...... Well done...... Strength...... Belong to me!! ”

In a jerky voice, the dwarf wizard shouted a cheer, and it was clear from the clarity of his words that it had the best intelligence, at least among the dwarf wizards, not to mention its own strength.

The other dwarf wizards and dwarfs also raised their weapons and let out squeaky cheers, a dwarf tribe, generally only one leader, its orders are absolute and must be followed.

"My strength...... My power...... Hurry up...... Hurry up...... I want to get ...... Powerful ......" waved the staff in his hand, the dwarf wizard ordered, and the dwarf commanded the group of dwarfs to begin their work.

Most of the dwarfs, following the route they had already familiarized, came to a large dark pit after a few miles, and they jumped into it without hesitation, and followed the pit and turned back for several miles, as if they were back in the jungle just now, but this time underground.

Then, these dwarfs worked tirelessly to dig up, and for this moment, they seemed to have been preparing for a long time, just by looking at the huge space underground, you can know that even with a large army of dwarves, this is by no means a scale that can be dug up overnight.

The dwarf wizard standing on the ground with his own personal guard looked excited, and the [noble] totem mask and feathers on his head were constantly trembling with its excited mood.

As time passed, the ground suddenly trembled, and gradually cracked, threatening to collapse at any moment.

The dwarf wizard was not surprised, but even more excited.

It has been waiting for this moment for two years.

Two years ago, a strange house (ruins) was found underground, and it asked its subordinates to dig and dig, and finally dug up here and found the main body.

But the main body is protected by a strange power (magic array) and can't be opened.

So the mentally retarded dwarf wizard thought of the most direct way, which was to hollow out the underground of the entire house (ruins) and let it collapse, so that the protective power (magic array) would naturally be self-defeating.

After nearly two years of hard work, this moment finally came, but the dwarf wizard is also mentally retarded, not to be underestimated, it doesn't want to work hard for others to make a wedding dress, so let his subordinates clean up all the enemies around him, to ensure that he alone occupies the power of this house (ruins).

As for why it is so sure that the [house] has the power it wants, it is because, a long, long time ago, one of its predecessors also discovered a similar [house] and gained great power from it, yes, the reason is as simple as that.

"Boom, Boom, !!Boom, Boom, Boom, T

With a loud sound, the ground of hundreds of acres collapsed like tofu dregs, revealing a huge deep pit, and the blood-sucking trees and jungles that they thought they could be fishermen forever were finally unlucky today, and they were all planted in the hands of these dwarves.

As the ground collapsed, a three- or four-meter-high, spire-shaped building was finally exposed. If you really hit the dwarf wizard by mistake, in the process of collapsing, the magic array could not withstand the huge collapse force, and was completely destroyed, and the entire building collapsed by a third. Revealing the mysterious side inside.

The dwarf wizard let out a cheer. I couldn't wait to jump inside and grope around.

From the eyes of humans and elves, this ruin is undoubtedly a long-abandoned ancient mage's room. There is not the slightest doubt that such a conclusion can be drawn at a glance from the broken and fallen practical utensils and conspicuous test benches.

Unfortunately, the dwarf wizard didn't know that it was jumping around excitedly, and the broken glass would be there. and shiny things, all of them are collected and treated as treasures.

Of course, this [wise] leader did not forget to get down to business, and it picked it up all the way, went all the way deeper, and finally came to the deepest part of the real yàn room.

It was a large glass jar, filled with a green liquid that seemed to have a strange metal mass wriggling inside.

Great dwarf leader. Without hesitation, he waved his staff and smashed the glass jar, if any other mage saw this, he would have to vomit three liters of blood.

A green, viscous mass erupts from the breach. Sprinkled the dwarf wizard's body, the dwarf wizard jumped around excitedly, as if welcoming nectar, and let the liquid drench itself. It seems that this will increase the strength.

Soon, the green liquor in the glass jar ran out. The dwarf wizard stopped his movements, raised his staff, and waited quietly for the change of his body and the explosion of strength in a sunny posture facing the sea.

A quarter of an hour passed, two quarters of an hour passed......

Finally, the dwarf wizard who realized that he had been deceived waved his staff in anger, spewing out a raging hellfire, burning the entire ruins, and then took out a machete, and continued to slash and slash in anger until the ruins of the minaret completely collapsed and shattered, and then left with his subordinates in anger.

A few hours ago, it was still a lush jungle of fierce beasts, but a few hours later, it had become a huge crater of collapse and sinking, and the ruins inside, under the anger of the dwarf wizard, were almost shattered, and only some traces of artificial carving could be found on the surface.

The wind blew softly, as if mourning for this ruined land.

At this moment, among the ruins in the big pit, there was a slight crackling sound.

Immediately after, a metallic glow emerged from the crack, a head-sized mass of metallic liquid, no doubt what had been sealed in the glass jar just now.

I saw this mass of metal liquid, slowly squirming, and finally, it turned into a metal dwarf wizard, if you look closely, this metal dwarf wizard, height, size, and even the totem mask on his face, are exactly the same as the dwarf wizard just now, there is no difference.

With a squeak, a thick hellfire erupted from the metal dwarf wizard's mouth, and then, with a few strokes of a metal machete, it burrowed into the forest......

……

"Unfortunately......" I sighed with a sad face.

"Why did Your Highness say this, could it be that I didn't serve well?" Kalujie, who was following behind, asked with a stern expression.

"No, no, although I don't know what a perfect maid is, you are much better than your sister." I turned around, patted Carugie on the shoulder, and burst into tears.

Anyone is fine, give me a maid like Carroujie, how about I exchange two maids? One for two, no matter how you think about it, it's definitely a good deal.

Well? What, do you really want to change? That's really good, I immediately called the goods here, hey, Sister Lina, have you changed the maid clothes for the gorilla and Mu dwarf winter melon?

I don't know when, I've learned to complain like this lonely, could it be that a strange festival is coming?

"Actually, I suddenly thought of a serious problem." Facing Carugie's stern gaze, I poured out my inner uneasiness.

"Tell me the truth, is it easy for Artoria to attract trouble?"

"This ...... It is indeed easy to get into trouble, and I think this is a test given to your majesty by God, a necessary test to become a king. Kalujie hesitated for a moment and said euphemistically.

"Well, that's the case, unfortunately, I'm like Artoria, and I'm easily tested by the heavens." I winked innocently at Carugee.

"This is because His Royal Highness, like His Majesty, is the king destined by heaven...... Uh......" Carujie said very innocently at first, and then. Seems to realize what I mean.

"Hikari was happy to be reunited with Artoria, and completely forgot what terrible things would happen to the two of us if we got together in such a place and time that could easily attract trouble." I hugged my head and said in distress.

"Your Highness...... Too much to worry about. Carrouette said in a very shaken tone and look. comforted me.

Follow Artoria all year round. There should be no one who knows better than her how strong His Majesty's ability to attract trouble is, if His Royal Highness and His Majesty are of the same rank......

So, let's get ready for battle right away.

"Kalujie, your actions don't look like they're trying to comfort people at all." I pointed at her instinctively and drew her rapier. The demeanor of the enemy with all his heart, said helplessly.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I ......" Carujie was ashamed and quickly put away her weapon. I hurriedly tried to explain, but I couldn't find any reason.

"Calm down, Carlujie, the two of us already know this strange special thing about me and Artoria, and we don't need to be comforted at all."

Walking a few steps along the wall, I turned my head again, looked at Calugie, who had calmed down, and asked hesitantly.

"That's right. You...... Do you know the inheritor of the Knight of the Flower of Ice Mist? ”

"Is Your Highness talking about the current Knight of the Flower of Ice Mist, Honeyrath?"

"Well, that's right, I just heard about it from Artoria, and I'm a little curious."

"I see, Sister Mira's words. I know a little bit. ”

"Are there any inheritors you don't know?" I looked at her curiously.

"Well, because the twelve of us didn't complete the inheritance together, there is a slight difference in time, such as the mysterious Sword of the Peerless. None of our eleven knights are very familiar, or even unknowable. Even the Majesty is the same. "I see, but the original twelve knights are the most important and intimate partners with each other, they jointly protect King Arthur, and your generation has become not completely familiar with each other, or even do not know each other, so that when you want to gather together, discuss things together, or crusade against strong enemies, if the tacit understanding is insufficient, won't it become very bad?"

"Your Highness's worries are normal, but there is no need to worry, because our twelve inheritors, even if they have never met each other, will be connected by a strong bond, and I believe that the other inheritors who can be selected must be very good in terms of ability and personality, except for my stupid sister, when the time comes, everyone will definitely be able to become close partners."

"Well, it makes sense, in that case, how do you rank your strength?"

"According to the level of the realm."

"Oh......"

"So my second, it's actually not accurate, the level of the realm doesn't determine each other's strength or weakness in many cases, Your Highness, who has defeated the world power realm with the realm realm, should know this best."

"That's right." I looked back at Carujie with a smile.

"But I think that even if you really let the twelve of you compete in one game, you will be in the same position, or even higher, in my eyes, Kalujie is a very good and hard-working girl, and she will not lose to other partners."

"Your Highness has praised it, and you can say such things, it is because Your Highness, you have not seen other knights except for your sister, they are all better, if you have seen them, you will not say this." Kalujie's face flushed slightly, and then she immediately said seriously.

"At the very least, then, until I see them, until I think they're better than you, let me keep it that way."

"......" looked at the pretty face flushed again, lowered her head, and didn't know what to say about the good Carlotie, which I thought was particularly interesting.

Probably because I spent less time with her, and perhaps I knew less about her, I felt that it was more difficult for this lady-in-waiting, who had learned Artoria's serious and strict personality, to be shy than to make Artoria shy.

"Okay, leave the rest alone, but when it comes to serving Artoria, you should be the first." Looking at the shy Carugie, I wanted to say something, so I said this.

"Then I have the courage to be self-assured, among the twelve companions, only my sister and I serve the king and prince as maids, no matter what, I don't want to admit that I am not even a lot better than that stupid sister in this regard."

"Hahaha, that's a good point." I laughed heartily.

Carujie is only so unceremonious when facing her sister, showing a sharp side, she is really a sister who has a good relationship.

However, although that stupid maid is very arrogant and has no self as a master, she can't be called a maid at all, yes, but the words of the maid really make me like it, the kind of shaking M maid attribute who is very soft all over the body and only has a hard mouth.

"Your Highness?" A soft cry from Kalujie woke me up from the nostalgia of the maid of the yellow duanzi.

"Well, by the way, where did you just come from, Miras, what kind of person is that Ice Mist Flower Knight? Carusie, can you give me a more detailed introduction? ”
