Chapter 279: Shengba
Lu Xiao noticed Lucius' surprised and scrutinizing gaze.
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't conjure food for no reason, I just transformed the soil vitality contained in the earth into shape, you see."
Lu Xiao pointed to the feet of the two, the dry and cracked land that could barely be condensed was gradually desertifying.
"As for this heavy rain."
Lu Xiao shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "It's just the right time, I'm just bringing the gathered water vapor down from the sky." ”
Lucius smiled and praised, "Even this is already remarkable, these grains and rain will ensure the survival of these people for at least 1-2 weeks." ”
"Maybe during this time, the future of this world will take a turn for the better."
Lu Xiao nodded noncommittally: "I hope so...... By the way, can you eat this thing you baked? ”
"Of course, please believe my years of wandering survival experience."
……
The peculiarity is the abscess that should not exist in human history, the seven wedges planted by the Demon God King in human history.
Fujimaru and Matthew were originally located in 2016, which had been burned by the Demon God King's treasures, but in order to truly complete the human relic, the Demon God King still needed one last process, and the seven peculiarities were the medium he chose.
The development of the Sixth Axiacy exceeded Gaithia's expectations, and made it much more difficult for the Chaldees to recover the Holy Grail to remove the source of the anomaly.
The root of the change of this era is in the Holy Capital, the Lion King who sits high on the throne.
Although the sources of information obtained by Lu Xiao and the Chaldean trio are different, the Assasin Order and the Pharaoh invariably point the culprit of the peculiarity of this era to the Lion King.
"Oh~ It's quite spectacular."
Standing on a small hill, Lu Xiao raised his eyes and looked into the distance.
The Santo Camelot is a typical European-style circular city layout, with the outermost part of the city protected by high walls.
The manor's austere walls are at least 10 meters high, and the sleek exterior walls are completely impossible, making it impossible for even Hassan, who is extremely athletic, to climb over them with his bare hands.
There are a number of humble tents set up in front of the gates of the Holy Capital, and the people who live here are full of hope for the future, and they are much better spiritually than the refugees in the wilderness.
At first glance, about 1,500 people are scheduled to attend the Holy Bath.
While Lu Xiao was observing the crowd, Lucius set his eyes on the majestic city, and there was a look of nostalgia in his eyes.
'Saint Camelot, sure enough, was almost exactly as I remembered it. ’
Due to the delay in rescuing the refugees along the way, when Lu Xiao and Lucius arrived in front of the Holy Capital, there was only less than a day and an hour left before this Holy Bath.
Although it was not yet dawn, the people outside the holy capital had already gotten up early to wait.
Lu Xiao can see three conspicuous golden logos in the crowd through Eagle Vision, which are the Chaldean trio.
However, at this time, the distance between those three people and Lu Xiao and Lucius was too far, and it could be said that they were one east and one west.
After thinking about it, Lu Xiao decided not to make peace with the Chaldean trio for the time being.
With the personalities of Fujimaru and Matthew, after learning the truth about Shengba, they will definitely do their best to lead the refugees to retreat, and the dispersal of the action will allow both sides to share some of the pressure. ’
There was still some time before the start of the Holy Bath, and Lu Xiao and Lucius temporarily stationed themselves on the outskirts of the Holy Capital.
As the time of the Holy Pull approached, the refugees were surrounded from the outside by a large number of unsheathed knights, and many heavily armed archers could be seen on the walls, making the scene look like a mere ritual.
"Lucius, what do you think?"
Although he was not very famous compared to other knights, "Lucius" was also a man of many battles, and he could see at a glance the target of the array inside and outside the Holy Capital.
"Not good."
Lucius frowned, and subconsciously clenched his only flesh-and-blood left hand.
"This formation is aimed at refugees, and it is extremely aggressive, is that the Lion King planning to have a massacre?"
"Congratulations, even if you don't win, it's not far away."
Lu Xiao tightened his hood and checked the various equipment on his body.
"I don't know what you think about the Lion King and his Knights of the Round Table, at least I'm planning to be the enemy of the Lion King, and you'd better be mentally prepared in advance to avoid hesitation on the battlefield."
Lucius took a deep breath, and his somewhat fluctuating emotions calmed down again.
"Your Excellency Lu Xiao, I am a knight with a sense of honor, and I can't watch a massacre happen in front of my eyes."
"I will also act with you, I just hope that Your Excellency will not dislike my low strength."
Lu Xiao's figure gradually disappeared from Lucius's eyes.
"Then please help me attract the attention of the Knights of Solemnity, echo the riots that broke out near the eastern wall, and leave the Knights of the Round Table at the main gate to me to contain."
Without waiting for Lucius to concentrate on Lu Xiao's traces, the originally dark sky lit up in an instant, and there was no excess of dawn at all.
There was inevitably a slight commotion among the people near the camp, and Lucius's gaze was fixed on the leader of the heavily armored knights who slowly walked out.
It was a sturdy young man with flaxen-colored tousled hair, dressed in heavy silver armor and holding a glittering unsheathed sword in his hand.
"The Sword of Victory, the Sword of Victory, the Sword of Victory, the King's Pact, is the Sword of Victory."
Lucius subconsciously touched his metal prosthetic leg, then looked up at the blazing sun in the sky.
"It's not good, Gao Wenqing will become more brave and good at fighting in the sun, and even Lancelot, the chief of the Knights of the Round Table, will not be able to defeat him in the daytime."
That's right, this young knight standing proudly in front of the city gate is none other than one of the most famous knights of the Knights of the Round Table, Gawain the Knight of the Sun.
Gawain was blessed by the Holy Being, and when the sun shines, his strength will increase by three times that of normal state at its peak, and with him guarding the city gates during the day, it is almost impossible for an intruder to break into the Holy Capital head-on.
Lucius's ultimate goal is to meet the Lion King in person, but Gao Wenqing's presence has become the biggest obstacle for him to meet the Lion King.
"Please be quiet."
Gawain's voice resounded through the camp in front of the gate of the Holy Capital, and the panicked crowd gradually regained their calm under the soothing tone of his calm tone.
"This is the 'never night' blessing that my king has bestowed on me, please don't be alarmed by this."
Many people recognized Gawain, and some people who didn't know the truth were attracted by the shining holy sword in Gawain's hand, and they all began to raise their hands and cheer.
But some of those who knew what was going on were getting more and more nervous, and the nearby Knights of Solemnity were shrinking the encirclement, and the unsheathed weapons in their hands were obviously more than just good-looking.
Lucius's gaze was suddenly drawn to another heavily armored knight who appeared at the head of the city.
The other party was wearing ornate armor and a helmet carved into the appearance of a lion on his head.
Although he couldn't see the appearance clearly, Lucius instinctively recognized the person, and a very complicated look appeared on his face.
"Holy Bath has officially begun."
As Gawain, who was in charge of presiding over the ceremony, announced loudly, the lion-headed knight at the head of the city raised the glorious holy spear in his hand.
Different from the spiral metal spear that Lu Xiao had seen before, the holy spear at this time was already in a state of liberation, and from the outside, it looked like a cylindrical pillar of light in the form of energy, and its power was even more amazing than the unsealing state that Lu Xiao had seen in Dongmu.
Turn on the breath to block Lu Xiao, who was hiding in the crowd, narrowed his eyes, "The thirteen seals are completely lifted?" No wonder she has the power of a god. ’
The energy body of the holy spear emitted a dazzling golden light when the Lion King held it high above his head, and most of the people present began to flash golden light in unison, and Lu Xiao and Fujimaru Rika were no exception.
The people looked left and right for unknown reasons, completely confused by what was happening at the scene.
The Lion King put down the holy spear and ordered Gao Wen under the city in a flat tone: "Only three people have passed the Holy Pull test, Gao Wenqing, recover them, and the others will be disposed of on the spot." ”
"Your will, my king."
Respectfully saluting the Lion King who turned to leave, Gao Wen's eyes gradually became colder when he raised his head again.
"Correct the knights, do it, the king's ideal country does not need people with impure hearts."
Fujimaru Rika understood the Lion King's plan first under the reminder of Leonardo da Vinci, and when he saw Gawain raise the holy sword in his hand and slash at the refugees in front of him, he immediately shouted with a drastic change in his face: "Stop!" Matthew, save them! ”
"Yes, Master!"
Lu Xiao was also hurrying towards Gao Wen, but he didn't have time to save the first person who was attacked, he was split in half by Gao Wen's holy sword from his shoulder.
Looking sideways at Fujimaru Rika, who was full of anger, Lu Xiao sighed softly: "The will is commendable, but the strength is insufficient." ”
"Willpower alone can't protect anything, Rika Fujimaru."
