Chapter Eighty-Eight: The End
After being stunned for a while, the taciturn Knight Eckert asked, "May I ask if you are the teacher who has taught Artoria swordsmanship in the past few years?" β
Xiao Mengran nodded nonchalantly: "That's right." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Knight Eckert didn't care about Xiao Mengran's coldness and said, "I also want to thank you for teaching Artoria many useful things over the years. β
Xiao Mengran shook her head and replied, "I taught her just because I wanted to teach her." β
After that, the atmosphere fell silent, and all three of them didn't know what to say except for Kai, who was unconscious.
Feeling the embarrassment of the atmosphere, Xiao Mengran coughed lightly and said, "Since the matter is almost over, I'll go back first." β
After speaking, Xiao Mengran said to Artoria again: "Come to me after your body is fully recovered, and let me see how much progress you have made when the time comes." β
Artoria nodded slightly, then said, "Okay, Mr. Merlin. β
So Xiao Mengran didn't go to see the tragedy that happened in the small mountain village again, and directly used the advanced teleportation technique to return to his magic tent.
Although it was only a memory that had been sealed for three years, Xiao Mengran's personality had changed dramatically.
If it was Xiao Mengran in the past, he would definitely not be able to bear to see these tragedies, but he forgot his past alone and lived alone in another world for three years, Xiao Mengran still unconsciously became much more indifferent.
In addition, Gaia told him that the world was a reincarnation before, so Xiao Mengran would no longer feel anything about the dead villagers and knight squires.
Just like the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, these innocents no longer look like real people to Xiao Mengyan, but more like NPCs in the game.
Returning to his residence, Xiao Mengran laughed at himself a little: "So the stronger the strength, the more indifferent you are?" But also, even ordinary people will be divided into three, six, nine and so on, let alone transcendents who are far more powerful than ordinary people. I'm afraid that I don't subconsciously see these ordinary people as my own kind. β
In fact, Xiao Mengran is very doubtful about the authenticity of those previous myths and legends at the moment, he himself is just a sixth order, and he usually deliberately turns off his extraordinary vision when he looks at ordinary people.
There is no other reason, it is to spicy eyes.
This is not Kai's joke, no matter how beautiful ordinary people are, they are unbearable in Xiao Mengran's eyes, because Xiao Mengran can clearly see the pores and parasites on their faces, which is really a huge test for Xiao Mengran's psychological endurance.
Therefore, for gods or immortals, shouldn't ordinary people be synonymous with filth? After all, gods and immortals can see bacteria clearly with the naked eye.
This has nothing to do with everything else, this is the difference in the nature of life, as the so-called dragon does not live with snakes, gods and immortals can be regarded as higher creatures that have evolved from humans.
Just as humans do not think of orangutans and monkeys as their own kind, for gods and immortals, the gap between ordinary humans and them is much greater than the gap between monkeys and humans.
With a long sigh, Xiao Mengran stopped thinking about this problem, closed his eyes and continued to meditate and cultivate as usual.
At the same time, after Xiao Mengran left using the Advanced Teleportation Technique, Artoria asked with some sadness, "Knight Eckert, what should we do?" β
Looking at it, although it was not full of people, it was quite lively after all.
But now, since the villagers have already been killed, the whole small mountain village is as silent as death under the cover of night.
Hearing Artoria's question, Knight Eckert's face was also full of wry smiles at the moment, it can be said that this territory belonging to him can basically be declared over, because all the people of the territory have been slaughtered, and those production activities naturally cannot continue.
In this way, without the income from taxes and food, the territory of the knights of Eckert can be said to have reached the point of extinction.
Hearing Artoria's question, Knight Eckert waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "In fact, this territory is just to cover up your identity, Your Highness, since Your Highness has awakened the blood of the royal family, it doesn't matter whether this territory exists or not." β
Artoria was a little surprised: "Your Highness? Royal blood? β
Seeing the uncertainty on Artoria's face, Knight Eckert's face showed a look of remembrance: "There was a coup d'Γ©tat when you were born, Your Highness, and your father asked us to take you away and raise you for some reason. We have complied with His Majesty's requests, and that is why I have taken you back to my own fiefdom, and the others have returned to the king's capital a few years ago to inquire about the situation. β
"Actually, I suspect that your identity has been exposed, so let's just take this opportunity to change places to live in order to avoid the intrigues from the royal capital."
Although she learned that she might be a member of the royal family, Artoria didn't feel much, and after hesitating for a while, Artoria suggested: "Then we might as well move to the vicinity of Mr. Merlin's house, which is not only convenient, but also safe with a teacher." β
Thinking of Xiao Mengran's strength, Knight Eckert thought for a while and then nodded and agreed to Artoria's suggestion: "It's not impossible, but let's wait until tomorrow, the problem we are facing now is to quickly find a room to rest for the night, and by the way, we still need to find some food." β
Touching her flat belly, Artoria felt hungry.
So Knight Eckert carried the unconscious Kai and Artoria across the battlefield to the pantry, which had not been affected by the battle.
There was nothing good in the pantry either, just dried meats, potatoes and brown bread and strips of sausages.
An iron pot was found in a largely intact manner from the ruins, and Knight Eckert leaned Kai against the corner of the wall, let Artoria take care of it, and then carried the cauldron alone to the upper reaches of the creek to fetch a pot of water, and washed all the ingredients by the way.
When she returned, Artoria magically lit a bonfire, set the iron pot on the fire, and waited until the water in the pot was boiling before throwing the chopped sausage and whole pieces of air-dried meat into the water.
When the soup in the pot became cloudy, Artoria poured the washed and chopped potato cubes into the iron pot.
There were no other seasonings, and even the salt was not put in because of the air-dried meat, so the soup naturally didn't taste very good.
Well, this is for Artoria, who is accustomed to Xiao Mengran's exquisite food.
Kai and Eckert Knight, who were opposite the Maiden Rider, were eager to lick the wooden bowl clean, it was the most delicious meal they had ever had.
Shaking her head and smiling, Artoria broke the hard black bread into small pieces and put them in the hot soup to soften, and then she barely ate it.
