Chapter Two Hundred and Forty-Eight: Artoria of Brittany
A day later, Li Ji took Marda to say goodbye to Joan of Arc.
"I'm sorry Joan of Arc... I have to trouble you to stay in the Vatican, I understand that this is the place that is ostensibly the closest to the Lord, but also the place where there are countless hostile people to you. β
Li Ji faced the girl with a completely reassuring attitude, "But I believe that in the past, you were able to stand up bravely and fearlessly, lead the troubled French army out of the encirclement, and defeat the British army, and now you will only do better than then." β
Joan of Arc fell silent, her heart seemed to be illuminated by the warm sun, and a relieved smile appeared on her face: "Thank you, sure enough, the Lord let me touch you... I will hide my identity, wait for a hundred ships to be fully recruited, and immediately cross the strait and go to Rabul to stand by. β
Marda, who was standing on the sidelines, encouraged the girl: "Miss Joan, you have the Holy Scepter and the Holy Clothes, these two things that the man left behind, no matter what, the bishops will not dare to do anything to you, if they dare to do so, please also ask you to make a holy judgment, let the Lord decide whether they should go to heaven or hell." β
Looking closely, what is surprising is that at this moment, Joan of Arc is wearing all of Marda's equipment, holy clothes and holy staffs, I don't know because the two girls are similar in stature, after exchanging equipment, they fit unusually well.
In the same way, Marda put on Joan of Arc's silver armor, carried the holy flag, and wore the holy sword at her waist, but the girl didn't like this kind of equipment very much, and her fists were empty, swinging unconsciously, making it look like she was going to hit people at any time.
Of course, the condition for this is that the Heroic Spirits agree with each other to achieve such an exchange, and after the exchange, whether it is ordinary armor or even a treasure, it will completely run to another Heroic Spirit, and will no longer appear in the hands of the original Heroic Spirit.
As for the benefit of this, it is undoubtedly that Joan of Arc will receive an identity that cannot be denied, and that the sacrament handed down by that man is the highest holy relic in the Catholic world, and to deny its authenticity is to blasphemy, let alone to act against Joan of Arc in such a heinous manner.
In this way, Li Ji can rest assured that he can take Marda with him, anyway, he believes that Marda, who does not have the holy clothes, will be happy with this arrangement, and can justifiably evade that person's teachings to him, free his fists, and persuade the enemy through physical means.
Then they said goodbye to Joan of Arc, set out on Tarask, left behind the magnificent city of Rome, and galloped through Florence, Lucca, Genoa, and Savoy into France, not rushing to Orleans or Paris, but to the Loire of Brittany, which borders the Atlantic Ocean and the English Channel in the west of France.
The Duchy of Brittany, an independent state sandwiched between England and France, was relatively low-key during the Hundred Years' War, only appearing in the first half of the war, although so far it seems impossible to fight...
Li Ji came here for a purpose - to find the lost Artoria, Morgan, and Matthew.
Just crossed a few days ago, let Morgan be free, and now he has been laid out in the direction of the Pope's state, and it will naturally be the turn of the three of them later.
On the streets of the Loire, the Hundred Years' War seems to have nothing to do with the country at all, and it seems very lively.
βmasterβ¦ I wonder why Matthew, Artoria, Morgan are here? Marda asked.
"On that note... It is rumored that Brittany has a name called Little Britain, which was caused by the great migration of Germanic peoples into Britain in the fifth century, when the original Celts fled the island, mainly from Cornwall. β
"So in a way, Brittany has a lot to do with King Arthur, and if Artoria and Morgan are returning from their honeymoon and thinking about saving the world, it makes sense to come here."
After Li Ji explained, he also sighed, and then found the tavern according to the information that Matthew secretly provided to him.
The tavern was noisy, and to his surprise, everyone gathered around the two girls, shouting loudly.
On either side of the large round table of steel, Artoria and Matthew, respectively, were already stacked with empty plates and bone shelves.
A rich man who looked like a hotel owner jumped up and down and shouted: "Very good, it looks like our two young ladies are about to reach the limit, who will win in the end in this competition?" β
There was a frenzied cheer, cheering on the side they were supporting, and at the same time, there seemed to be unspeakable gambling going on on the other side.
"Now, let's send the final challenge, a dead bipedal wyvern the size of a house, has been processed, toxin-removed, barbecued, whoever eats the most will be the final winner!"
Artoria looked calm, already seeing the result: "What about the toxin?" As a king, how can you be afraid of such a thing! β
Matthew confronted, "I, a pure knight, am not afraid of any poison, Miss Artoria, this time I will win no matter what, please understand my determination." β
The two girls just wanted to eat.
"I shouldn't have bothered you, did I?" Li Ji's faint voice sounded.
The two girls came back to their senses from their state of devotion.
"Senior, I'm sorry, I just wanted to get Artoria and Morgan back sooner, and I had to participate in the game." Matthew couldn't help but blush when he saw that he would be so seriously involved in such a shameful thing.
"Master..."Artoria explained without blushing at all, "I've been thinking about saving the world, but when I see my dinner table and feel my empty stomach, I can't help but walk in and plan to have a full meal. β
"This young man, you didn't come at the right time." Morgan, who hid aside and watched his beloved King Arthur confront Matthew, walked out with a smile on his face, as if he was watching his own joke.
Li Ji turned his head, only to see that the onlookers had all their eyes on him at some point, and shouted angrily: "Hey! Alien, who are you, dare to interrupt such a good show! β
There are also some people who simply move their hands and feet under the impetus of drunkenness, wanting to beat themselves up and relieve their anger.
"Master, please leave it to me!" Marda seems to have endured a long period of suffering and is eager to try.
"Hmm!" Li Ji nodded, believing that the girl would not make a move on ordinary people.
The maiden shouted, "Hallelujah! Come to my senses, you sinners! β
With a bang, one of the walls of the tavern was pierced by the girl, and the high wall fell down, and the building collapsed, and then buried everyone inside, probably because the original building was loose and collapsed, and no one died, at most a few unlucky people broke bones.
Li Ji took the opportunity to take Marda, pulled up Matthew, Artoria, and Morgan to escape, quickly disappeared from everyone's field of vision, and came to a safe and secluded place.
