Outside the royal capital.

The autumn breeze and cool breeze blew off the yellowing leaves and kicked up the grass clippings in the sky.

"Ho-ho-ho...... Call~~~. ”

The howling wind lifted Arthur's blonde hair, and the tips of his already soaked hair danced wildly against the cold wind, throwing out drops of glistening sweat.

Rapid wheezing and heavy breathing continued to sound, and the mutilated armor made a harsh grinding sound under the action of the violently undulating chest.

Seeing that Arthur was bleeding profusely, his body was covered with wounds of varying severity. Geyland stopped a group of generals who wanted to continue to attack, and stepped out of the crowd.

"How long are you going to disguise? Why not kill the hand? Just stuning the enemy won't take the slightest bit off the pressure. Or are you still naïve to see us as people? ”

Looking at Arthur, who was already in a desperate situation, Jayland showed a complicated expression.

The battle had been going on for some time, but as Jayland had said, there were no more casualties on the battlefield. Arthur knocked out the generals who were attacking her, and then kicked them far away. to avoid the aftermath of the battle to kill the unconscious.

Jayland didn't understand what Arthur was thinking. You must know that Arthur's most serious injuries at this time were suffered in order to save these people who attacked her.

It was because of this that Jayland stopped everyone's attack. What is the reason for Arthur in front of him to make such a choice? He wanted to know the answer.

Arthur, who had been given a precious respite, did not answer Jayland's question head-on. Her mind was equally confused.

"Why? Why kill both of them. Lancelor comes from the same tulip family as you, and Gwyna is your sister. I'm on the verge of success. As long as I wait a little longer, I will be able to make a wish to the dragon god to eliminate the war, make the world peaceful and beautiful, and then step down from the throne and become an ordinary woman.

Why hold me back at such a time? Is the throne really that important? ”

Arthur's repeated questioning led Jayland into an exaggerated laugh. Under the maniacal laughter, he held his stomach and hunched his waist and trembled violently. I can't wait to lie on the ground and slap the ground.

"Hahaha, this is the king of Celtic, a person who has no intention of being a king and just wants to be an ordinary woman! A man who is naïve enough to believe in legends and is full of only thinking about relying on others. ”

Hearing Jaylander's almost insulting words, Arthur, who had never shown much anger even if he was betrayed by everyone, suddenly ran out laughing angrily.

"You know what? That's right, it's true that I'm a woman. But all these years I have been fighting on the front lines and fighting bravely. Who would dare to say that I have failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a king and a man? ”

Arthur's roar, however, was interrupted by Jaylander's even greater roar.

"It's you who don't understand! Leaning on the dragon god to make a wish?

No one has been the victor in the battle of the contract for so many years. You think you're the only one special? Are you the best? Only you can conquer all the kingdoms and defeat all the dragon knights?

Laugh to death! Ha? Make a wish to eliminate war? Step down from the throne and be an ordinary woman?

Did you just say that as a king? Is that what a king should be?

As a king, you are thought to be lazy at this point in governing the kingdom!

I was a little hesitant before, but now you have made me even more convinced of my correctness. It is impossible for a king like you to lead the kingdom to a peaceful and beautiful world. ”

Arthur looked at Jaylander, who was staring at him viciously and roaring at him, and his heart was shocked. Immediately after that, he noticed something strange in the other party's words.

"What do you mean by what you just said? Isn't it possible to defeat all the dragon knights and conquer all the kingdoms to become the winner of the contract battle and make a wish to the dragon god? This is a secret in the fragments of the royal family. How could it go wrong? ”

"yes. The secrets recorded in the fragments of the secret history of the past dynasties are indeed true. But the fragment is a fragment after all, and some important information is missing from it.

The other half of the fragments about chivalric traditions, about the conditions for obtaining the sword of the dragon's body, and even about the truth about this world are kept in more secret places. Only the royal family can see it. ”

At this point, the expression on Jaylander's face had returned to normal, and he looked up at the phantom shadow of the Sword of Contract looming in the sky, and let out a long sigh rather wistfully.

"Alas, the world is a cage. It's a farm, it's a slaughterhouse. We are like crops on a farm, harvested in waves. The difference is that these wheat harvesters are too lazy to do it themselves. Rather, let the wheat sign slaughter. Eventually, the rest will continue to be sown as seeds.

If some of the wheat is good enough, they promise some reward. Hehe......"

At this time, Cohen also stepped forward, walked behind Jayland, and took over the conversation with a solemn face.

"What Your Highness said is true. Arthur...... King. The other fragment is in the custody of the successive leaders of our Dark Guard lineage. Because you are not the bloodline of the royal dragon family, I did not present it to you. ”

Jayland withdrew his gaze to the sky and looked directly at Arthur, his face gloomy and sad.

"You should know that before us, there were several great wars on the continent where the inheritance was almost severed, right?"

"You mean that only in the kind of near-extinction war can you get the opportunity to make a wish?"

Hearing Arthur's question, Jayland grinned. It's just that it's full of bitterness and helplessness.

"What do you think? Why hasn't anyone ever obtained the Dragon God's Sword over the years? Why are Contract Wars becoming more frequent? Why did the survivors of the last Holocaust establish a chivalric code and promote chivalry?

Do you think the rhetoric that rights and responsibilities go hand in hand is a lie? No!

We were trained in combat from an early age, willing to go into battle, and even willing to decide the outcome in a duel that was almost child's play.

What do you think all this is for? ”

"The contradictions between countries are irreconcilable. What you do will not bring peace, but only delay the outbreak of war. Wars will still come, and they will become more frequent. ”

Hearing Arthur's rebuttal, Jayland looked at the other party expressionlessly.

"Tut-tut. How could I not have known this? So when it comes to eradicating hidden dangers, I agree with Ming's approach. But unlike you, who are hypocritical, I am more sincere.

Look at them, why would they betray you so easily? What they need is not an example to stand high on the altar and make them ashamed! It's the leader who leads them alive.

What they need is not the same fraternity, but the people who will take them to struggle to survive and become those seeds in this fucked world! ”

In the echo of everyone, Jayland waved his hand, looking at Arthur with a slight look of downs.

"When the time comes, I will take the survivors with me to create a peaceful and beautiful world. Carve out a freedom for them that will last at least a few hundred years!

Can you do these things? Can a king who only knows how to fight, can't even completely control the royal power, and is full of naïve fantasies? “

After an impassioned series of questions, Jaylander's tone plummeted, and he answered his previous question in a low and calm voice.

"You can't do it in the current situation!"

"Maybe you're right, maybe you're better suited, or maybe I shouldn't be the king of the Celts. But I can't rest on my laurels. ”

Geyland frowned when he heard this, and he looked at Arthur, who was already holding his sword in both hands, and showed a puzzled look.

"You think you'll survive? Don't be delusional, I'm not as naïve as you are, and I won't accept your surrender. If you want to die a dignified death, I advise you to cut yourself. ”

"I understand, but I can't fall. Because someone wants me to live, I'm going to wait for him. ”

"Heh, do you want to wait for Zheng Ming's support? Stop daydreaming. ”

At this point, Jayland also lost interest in continuing the conversation, and he waved his hand at the group behind him, giving the order to attack.

"Up, don't have any scruples, kill her!"

………………

On the other side, after killing No. 12 Nameless, Zheng Ming encountered several waves of players along the way.

Among them, there are weak people who are not self-sufficient to be easily defeated, and there are also some strong people who bring Zheng Ming a lot of trouble.

After killing the last five-person squad and breaking through the layers of interceptions, Zheng Ming finally saw the end of the army from afar.

At this time, he also had a lot of wounds on his body. There are also many strange forms of energy that continue to destroy his body and hinder his recovery, attached to the wounds that are deep and visible to the bone.

"Should it be said that it is worthy of the shadow of the former throne? So many people couldn't stop you. ”

Just as he coughed up blood again and again, and wanted to continue forward, a long-haired woman with silver hair and red eyes slowly walked out of the corner in front of him.

The woman was dressed in the royal costume of the Frost Lan Kingdom, and a snow-white fur coat was chopped over her shoulders, and the red and white armor loomed underneath.

She is the current Queen of Frost Lan, a new generation of Lan, Lan Lan.

Zheng Ming's face changed several times after seeing the sudden appearance of Lan, and finally stopped at the color of iron blue full of anger.

"Britney. You think I don't recognize you? Sure enough, you players have run to the opposite side? ”

Hearing that Zheng Ming immediately recognized her identity, Britney's face was first happy, and then a trace of doubt appeared.

"Ha, I didn't expect you to recognize me like this? Sure enough, you love me, don't you? ”

"Put away your means! Are you players emotionally attached to NPCs in the game world? You only have tasks and rewards in your eyes, right? ”

Britney pressed her hand to her chest when she heard this, revealing a hurt expression that burst into tears.

"Oh, what you said is really chilling. Am I so unpleasant in your mind? In vain, I couldn't help but be overjoyed when I heard little Kuka and No. 12 say that you miss me. ”

Zheng Ming saw Britney with an unfamiliar face, revealing a flattery in her every move, listening to the familiar ambiguous tone in her ears, her eyebrows were tightly clustered together.

"Less nonsense! I'm not in the mood to joke with you. You only need to answer me one question. You're going to stand in my way? ”

Zheng Ming's rising momentum and the long knife condensed in his hand showed Britney a resolute attitude.

It was only at this time that Britney Spears restrained her thoughts about teasing the other party.

"Since you can be here, it looks like the 12th has already been killed by you? Saying that you have to fight with the strong is conducive to a breakthrough, I think he just wants to stop you. I told him a long time ago that it's useless, you are not someone who can be persuaded to give up in a few words. ”

Britney changed her previous temptation and ambiguity, and her slightly bland and lazy voice came, but it added a little more charm. However, for Zheng Ming at this time, it failed to have any effect at all.

"I said I didn't want to waste time with you here. Do you take the initiative to get out of the way, or do you want me to do it myself. “

"Tut-tut, it's so ruthless. I don't think it makes much sense, but I still want to ask in the end. Will you choose me, or will you choose her? Pick her and you're likely to die ......"

Britney, who still wanted to make a final struggle, saw Zheng Ming pointing at her long knife, and then saw the other party's cold and flickering eyes, the words in her mouth froze, and then sighed lightly and showed a pretended relaxed smile.

"Heh, do you think I really don't want anyone? There are more people who like the old lady. I just didn't want to save you because I didn't want to. Since you insist on sending you to death, then you can do whatever you want. ”

"Lan, are you lazy? Have you forgotten Jaylander's orders? I even started talking to him. ”

A female voice with blame and inexplicable hostility came from afar, followed by a figure riding a red dragon rushed here.

The people who came were none other than the Red Dragon Ralton and its lord Ainzfer.

This silver-haired woman, who also rode the red dragon, fell behind Britney, and then glanced at Zheng Ming and Britney with a suspicious expression.

"I'm still wondering where you've gone. I didn't expect you to get here in advance. You two know each other? ”

Britney ignored Einzfield's accosting, but looked at Zheng Ming and continued.

"A giant dragon, a level 40 mage with fierce high-level combat power, and me. With your wounded and incomplete energy, will you be able to withstand our combined attack?

Even if you were really powerful enough to kill us, how much strength do you have left to save Arthur? You're not thinking about dying with her, are you? ”

Seeing Britney ignoring her, Einzfeld's face suddenly turned red, and her roar at Britney became more and more sharp and piercing.

"Lan, don't get too carried away. Don't forget, with whose help you were able to become the queen. Don't think Jayland will tolerate you, you'd better be respectful to me. ”

"What I think is none of your business. Einzfel, it seems that you and Jayland have betrayed the king. Now I'm going to give you one last chance, do you let me go, or do I kill you? ”

"Jayland is the orthodox royal family, and he is the one who really deserves to be the king. And not Arthur, who usurped the throne by deception. Judging by how nervous you look, you should have an unclear relationship with her, right? No wonder she is so partial to you.

Dragon Knight? Hehe, I don't think it's necessarily which one rides which. And that slut Gwenna, just marry a woman. He also cheated on others. What I hate the most is a slut who intervenes in other people's feelings. You all deserve to die. ”

Seeing that Einzfil was out of control, he screamed again and again. Zheng Ming's narrowed eyes flickered with cold light, and the killing intent in his heart was surging.

"Wow, shrew. Oh, no, I should say that it is an abandoned resentful woman. ”

"What did you say?"

Amid the screams of Einzfil piercing her eardrums, Britney met the murderous gaze of the other party with a nonchalant expression.

"Am I wrong? Ah~~~Ah. Forget it, I gave up. It's an insult to me to fight alongside someone like you. ”

Then she turned her head to look at Zheng Ming and grinned.

"I'm a gamer, and it's a game called 'World'."

At the moment when Britney said the word "I", the vision of everything around her was static and discolored.

[Player's nickname Britney, ID2125110096.]

If you violate the game rules, you will be forced to break away.

If you violate the rules for the first time, you will be punished by deducting XP, game points, and random equipment.

We hope you strictly follow the rules of the game. 】

The cold mechanical synthesized sound came from nowhere, vaguely burrowing into Zheng Ming's ears. He looked at Britney in shock. The other party's reason is very clumsy, she doesn't want to join forces with Ainzfel, she can make a solo move. There is no need to detach in such a punishable way.

Zheng Ming saw that Britney was covered by a white pillar of light, and her body slowly collapsed from her feet into points of light, and asked urgently.

"Britney, what the hell is going on? Who was the voice just now? ”

However, his concern was met with a bright smile and a murmur that had nothing to do with it.

"You're no ordinary NPC. You are closer to us. ”

After leaving a sentence, Britney turned into a colored point of light and quickly disappeared with the white pillar of light. And those remaining points of light were condensed into Lan's previous appearance in an instant.

The surroundings quickly returned to their original appearance, and at this time, the belated roar of Einzfil finally rang out.

"I'll kill you."

"Ahh

A panicked and frightened scream came, and Einzfil, who originally wanted to attack, looked in front of him, fell to the ground and kept retreating, his face full of fear and fear, Lan, showing a dazed expression.

"You...... You...... What are you doing? What tricks do you want to play? ”

Only Zheng Ming, who was staring at the top of Lan's head, knew in his heart that the woman in front of him, who was like a frightened fawn, was no longer the queen of the Frost Lan Kingdom before.
