Chapter 278: A Chance Encounter in the Wilderness
After Lu Xiao left, one of Baixiang's clones galloped east along the rugged mountain path.
The summoned Heroic Spirits Hassan each guarded a village, among which Tremor and Shadow Strip Hassan had been killed by the Knights of the Round Table, and Quiet Hassan had been captured by the Knights of the Round Table.
Now only three Hassans are still active, Bai Maung, Curse Wrist and Drunken Teaser, of which Bai Maung and Curse Wrist are guarding the West Village and East Village respectively, and Drunken Hassan has not yet returned from going out to rescue refugees.
No matter how true the Chaldean information Lu Xiao provided today, as long as they would indeed be enemies of the Lion King, the Assasin Order had the possibility of forming an alliance with the Chaldeans.
Bai Maung passed on the information obtained from today's exchange with Lu Xiao to other villages, so as to avoid unnecessary conflicts between the people of the mountains and the Chaldeans.
On the way, Lu Xiao met a traveling knight in the wilderness area of the eastern desert who was also preparing to go to the Holy Capital, he was Lucius, who had a relationship with Fujimaru and others before.
"You ......"
When they met, Lucius's metal right arm inexplicably began to flash with magical arcs, and the knight seemed unable to perfectly control his prosthetic limb.
Lucius sweated profusely and tried to regain control, but his right arm still subconsciously stretched out towards Lu Xiao.
Of course, it was impossible to catch Lu Xiao with his slow movements, and he easily dodged the opponent's "attack" that was not from his heart by moving slightly to the left.
"Whew~Whew~"
After a few minutes, Lucius finally regained control of his prosthetic leg, his forehead covered in sweat, and he was half-kneeling on the ground gasping for breath.
Lu Xiao squatted in front of Lucius and carefully poked the other party's metal right arm with his fingers.
"Brother Knight, are you alright?"
Lucius adjusted his breath and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, it's just that my arm suddenly got out of control." ”
Lu Xiao waved his hand disappreciably: "Don't care, I'm not injured anyway." ”
"But why would you want to transplant a magic prosthetic that you can't control, it's dangerous?"
Lucius shook his head puzzled: "Here's the problem, before I met Your Excellency, although my prosthetic leg was difficult to manipulate, there had never been such a situation of autonomous movement. ”
Lu Xiao was slightly stunned, considering the body of this arm, Lu Xiao's heart immediately suddenly.
I see, the resonance of the sword and the sheath. ’
There must be a reason why Alayah threw Lu Xiao into this era, if he really just treats him as a working boy, he can arrange Lu Xiao to the more difficult seventh anomaly or the fifth anomaly.
Lu Xiao hadn't understood Alayya's true intentions for the time being, perhaps because of his relationship with the Assassin Order, or it could be related to the Holy Sword scabbard that he kept warm in his body.
Since he met "Lucius" unexpectedly, Lu Xiao took the opportunity to propose to go together, anyway, the destination of the two was the holy capital.
……
When the two of them walk together, they can take care of themselves by sleeping in the midst of the crisis-ridden wilderness.
Lu Xiao and Lucius agreed to be on duty in the middle of the night, and Lucius first went into a deep sleep to replenish his energy.
Lu Xiao sat by the fire, bored and chatting with Consus and Aletheia, who were staying in his body.
In a world without the internet, Alethea seems to be in a state of lack of interest and remains dormant most of the time.
Consus, on the other hand, has a strong desire to learn about everything in the Moon World, which is his instinct as a university scholar.
"Why was King Arthur a girl? You have to ask about the inhibition of this, maybe the real King Arthur was originally a girl, but he deliberately disguised himself as a man in the legendary records. ”
Lu Xiao's casual nonsense drew Consus's contemplation: "Hmm...... It's not impossible, after all, I haven't really met King Arthur. ”
"All rumors about him are hearsay, and in your native world, King Arthur is even just a legendary figure and does not exist in history."
King Arthur was undoubtedly real in the world of Assassin's Creed, having ruled Britain with the Sword of Eden in his hand, as is documented in the world of Assassin's Creed.
"I'm very interested in the rules of the sublimation of legends in this world, and the unnatural spirit of the Heroic Spirit has been given another interpretation in the Moon World."
The concept of Valhalla in a broad sense comes from Valhalla, a Norse mythological Valhalla.
Odin prepares for the prophesied Battle of Ragnarok in advance, and he orders the Valkyries to search for powerful human warrior souls from all over the world, and lure them to Asgard after their heroic deaths, becoming the Asaph's protoss' bargaining chips in Ragnarok, commonly known as Heroic Warriors.
Although the Heroic Spirits of the Moon World have some conceptual similarities with the Immortal warriors defined by Odin, they are all included in the constellation Valhalla after death.
However, the Noble Phantasmies sublimated by the weapons and deeds of the Heroic Spirits of the Moon World are the killer features of the Heroic Spirits, which is also an important knowledge that Consus hopes to analyze, but he has not yet found a clue.
Chatting and farting with Consus, it was soon time to hand over to Lucius.
Lying down against a large rock, he let out an even breathing sound within a minute...... Of course, it's pretended.
Since learning to meditate, Lu Xiao has spent long nights in meditation except for relaxing everything and falling into a natural sleep state in the main world.
Lu Xiao's keen five senses allowed him to hear everything around him in the dark night, and he suddenly opened his eyes while pretending to be asleep next to the boulder, and a slight sobbing sound came from the distance on the other side of the fire.
"I'm sorry, my king, it's all my fault, it's all my fault......"
Lu Xiao didn't look back, he knew who was the voice when he heard the voice, and there was no one else near the vast wilderness.
Sure enough, as Merlin said to Lucius, the longer life passes, the more fearful the human instinct becomes towards the end of life. ’
Lu Xiao didn't get up to comfort Lucius without being interested, the two had just met today, and it was the biggest taboo when interacting with people.
The next morning, Lu Xiao got up from the wilderness, stretched comfortably, and twisted his body in place by the way, as if he didn't notice what happened in the second half of the night.
Lucius didn't know where to go to catch a few small lizards, and when Lu Xiao got up, he was carefully roasting these "ingredients".
The hungry refugees who smelled the smell of meat in the wilderness gradually surrounded them, their eyes glowing red, and they subconsciously opened and closed their teeth up and down, and finally they could not resist the temptation of food and pounced.
"Boom!"
Lu Xiao suddenly appeared in front of one of the refugees and punched him in the abdomen, shaking the large number of refugees behind him with the force of hitting the cattle across the mountain.
Getting up early in the morning had the opportunity to move his body, and Lu Xiao defended the vicinity of Lucius so tightly that no matter how the refugees attacked, they couldn't break through his defensive net.
The extremely hungry refugees were only able to move briefly under the catalysis of adrenaline, and it was not long before they regained their ground, one by one falling weakly to the ground, staring blankly at the poisonous sun in the sky, quietly waiting for death.
"Hey~"
Lu Xiao finally relented, and he didn't know how many people were still struggling like these refugees in the desolate wilderness, but at least he didn't want to see these people die in front of him.
"Smack~"
Squatting down and pressing his hand on the ground, Lu Xiao extracted the little soil vitality left in the ground under his feet, and used the principle of equivalent exchange to transform them into white flowers.
At the same time, Lu Xiao gathered the barely abundant water vapor in the wilderness area, and rained cold rain in a small area.
"Oh...... Oh! It's food and water! Food and water! ”
Some of the refugees hurriedly took out various containers to try to catch the rain, while others rushed to the mountains of rice and devoured the rice in their mouths.
Lucius was amazed at what he saw, he didn't expect that the fellow traveler he met by chance would be able to conjure food out of thin air.
And the rain came at a good time. ’
