Chapter Seventy-Two: Meeting
The autumn equinox has passed, in the primeval forest, the same is full of depression, the wind rolls the leaves, with a whining hum, the dry bark is swept up by the wind, if it hits the face, it will be hot and painful, the feet are on the uneven dirt road, and occasionally the vines will be mixed with a heel, just in such a deep mountain old forest, a young man and a girl of about twelve years old staggered forward.
"Master, this thing is so beautiful." Every few steps, the girl who followed behind would let out such an exclamation, and at this time, she was holding the cheese card in the pizza box in her hand, and she couldn't put it down.
"Save it." Lin Xiu looked at the compass, confirmed the direction again, and continued to walk forward, C.C. behind him could only sigh, carefully put away the card, what would it do, she herself was not very clear, but she believed in her master, since the master said to let her keep it, then she must put it away.
"By the way, C.C. do you know where Avalon is?" Lin Xiu was a little distressed, this name seems to be only mentioned in the mythological stories of Artoria, but where is the specific location? Merlin must know, but where to find Merlin? This is just.
"I don't know, is the master's home in that place called Avalon?" C.C. was concentrating on calculating the remaining pizza in the box, using her immature little hands to calculate how many pieces were left until dinner, and she didn't have much interest in Lin Xiu's question, the two had been walking in the forest for two days, and gradually, C.C. was no longer afraid of Lin Xiu like that, but had a sense of dependence.
Have you forgotten what the old man said? Your answer is there. Don't you want to be reminded of your own memories? Or why do those people call you a witch? Lin Xiu was a little helpless, although C.C. with amnesia was innocent, her IQ really couldn't be compared with her after living for a thousand years.
"The answer? Did the master say I was the witch? C.C. asked sensitively, pausing in his tracks.
"Uh, don't you want to know?" Lin Xiu didn't know how to explain to her, so she continued to ask. It stands to reason that no one doesn't want to know about their past.
"Will the master dislike me as a witch?" C.C. blinked, looking pitiful, although Lin Xiu knew that this appearance was completely her disguise, but it was not a witch. He really didn't care, a person who dared to sign a contract with a demon would rather fall into hell forever, would still dislike something related to demons?
"Hehe, I'm a veritable demon king." Lin Xiuwan smiled and counted his answer.
"That's... Master. Let's not go to the place called Avalon, shall we? Anyway, you're so good, and you can conjure up a lot of food, it's the same everywhere we go. C.C. boldly suggested to Lin Xiu, she was sure that she didn't have any amnesia, what if she was debunked when she got to that place called Avalon? So whenever Lin Xiu mentioned this issue, she was very worried.
"No, it's not just important to you. It's very important to me. Lin Xiu refused without hesitation, there was no room for negotiation at this point, his lover. His teammates are still waiting for him, how can he choose to stay here forever, and all this may just be an illusion of the C world, whenever he thinks of this, Lin Xiu's heart is very anxious and worried, and he turns around and continues to walk forward.
Some aggrieved agreed. A small face is pitiful, but in her heart she is not as weak as she appears on the surface. 'You must find a way to make your master forget about those things and keep him by his side.' But how can you stop him? What are your advantages? Thinking of this, C.C. looked at his small breasts, which had not yet fully developed, and became even more annoyed for a while.
The sun was constantly shortening, and before he could completely get out of the forest, the sky was dark again, and Lin Xiu looked at the path that could be vaguely seen in front of him, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, let's rest here for the night, and tomorrow we will go into the city to get a map." Lin Xiu grabbed out the tent and prepared to enter the city at dawn, his ignorance of the plane of this world made him have to be careful when doing things, C.C. saw Lin Xiu take out the tent, and wanted to come over to help, but after being stopped by Lin Xiu, she sat on the stone while eating pizza while watching Lin Xiu work, hoping that such days would never end.
"Huh?" The movements of Lin Xiu's hand suddenly stopped, and before C.C. could ask, he turned around and kicked the fire around him away, turning into a little spark and disappearing, making a silent gesture to C.C., and quickly climbed to the edge of the mountain, from where he could clearly see everything on the road, although it was night, it did not affect Lin Xiu's transformed eyes.
"Master, are you the bad guys who came to catch C.C.?" C.C. curled up and hid beside Lin Xiu, gently leaning towards his body, the weather was getting colder, and getting close to Lin Xiu's body made C.C. feel warmer psychologically, and Lin Xiu's attention was all on the road now, and he didn't care about C.C.'s small actions at all.
"No, it looks like someone has been arrested." Lin Xiu looked at the lineup of the team below, there were about 100 people, a prisoner car in the middle, although it was wooden, but there were many iron chains hanging on it, the wooden wheels pressed on the ground, making a creaking sound, the escort team was very special, and the guards Lin Xiu saw in the city were obviously different, there was also a slight deviation in appearance, and the skin was a little red, but it was not very obvious.
The man in the prisoner car had long blond hair, although some mud was stained on it, and the hair also covered most of his face, but Lin Xiu could still feel that the other party was a handsome man, and the strong aura exuded by his body did not restrain because he was trapped in the prisoner car, on the contrary, like a lion ready to attack at any time, Lin Xiu's words were not very clear, and it was difficult to understand the meaning of the other party's words after listening carefully.
"Ah, they're Saxons." Since the distance is not very far. It's just that it's hard for people to find out through the shadows of Lin Xiu and C.C. at night, so it's not difficult to hear the other party's conversation C.C. clearly, and when Lin Xiu was still struggling with the other party's words, C.C. had already blurted out the other party's origin.
"Huh? Can you understand what they say? Lin Xiu asked C.C. suspiciously.
"Well, the previous owners often traded with the Saxons. Therefore, his slaves also need to learn their language, and C.C. has learned a lot so that he can understand what they are saying. C.C. said to Lin Xiu with a little pride, there was a smug look between his eyebrows, and the more valuable the slave, the less likely it was to be abandoned. This is true, although C.C. is very young, the living environment in which she lives has already matured her heart in advance.
"Oh, what did they say?" When Lin Xiu asked this sentence, he was already about to turn around and leave. Whether it was a Saxon or a Germanic, the battle between these people was nothing more than a repetitive history for him, and he had no interest in meddling, and he had a lot to worry about.
"Say what... The king who drew the sword in the stone is nothing more than that... What Knights of the Lake... It seems to be called something... Lancelot? C.C. was not able to translate all the words, but with her words, Lin Xiu, who was already about to stand up and leave, was like a lion ready to attack at any time. Quickly crouched down, and the quick movement obviously startled C.C., but fortunately, Lin Xiu's hands were fast. A handful covered C.C.'s mouth.
"Listen, stay here and don't move, I'm going to... Save that person. When he said this, C.C. felt that his master suddenly seemed to have taken a fancy to some stunning beauty, and his eyes jumped with excitement.
"Hey, Lord Lake Knight. Would you like some water to drink? Hahaha, what do you say about the Knights of the Round Table. What a hero, that's all. I heard that you guys are some kind of king or chick? Haha, you fools, can you still win by following women to fight the world? A soldier in escort mocked Lancelot in the prisoner van.
"Heh... Water... Not really... For a while... I'm going to drink your blood! At this point, Lancelot's eyes-covering hair suddenly flew in the wind, revealing his handsome and resolute face, and although there was still a little blood on his face, the blue eyes like the bottom of a lake could definitely shock the heart of any enemy.
"Enemy attack!" As if it was a pre-arranged script, just as Lancelot's words fell, the soldier on horseback in front of him suddenly shouted loudly, however, he could only let out this shout, and then, a big head flew up in the air, and the rapid sword light only left a round and a half moon in mid-air, and then I saw a blue figure on the horse's back on tiptoe, and flew towards the second soldier again, and the same could only see a sword light, without even the slightest pause.
"It's... Artoria! Stop her, kill her! Although the soldiers shouted like this, their voices were still full of fear, although it was a woman, but all Saxons understood how powerful this woman on the battlefield was, and that her own strength had left too many shadows and nightmares in the hearts of Saxons.
Artoria was silent, like a hard-working lumberjack, carrying patches of blood in her pass, but she was still a hundred steps away from Lancelot, and she needed to be faster.
"I can't stop it, cut Lancelot first!"
"Yikes...!"
Seeing that Artoria is unstoppable, the commander around him can only make this decision in a hurry, even if he dies here, he will always tear apart the lineup of the Knights of the Round Table and lose a Knights of the Round Table, which is tantamount to attacking the next castle for the Saxons, and the other armies of the empire are not afraid at all, only the Knights of the Round Table led by Artoria are their dream demons.
"Get out of the way!" Seeing that Lancelot's situation was critical, Artoria screamed, flew the sword in the stone with one arm, drew out the full moon, and the body fell down, and a full moon seemed to rise in water, tearing the more than ten soldiers around her in an instant, but even so, it was still not enough to save Lancelot.
"My king!" Lancelot knew that he was already dying, and roared angrily, with unwillingness, with anger, but he wanted to break free from the shackles on his body, but it was still a little insufficient, and the heavy plate axe had been raised above his head, and he slashed down with the power of Tarzan.
"No!" Artoria let out a cry of grief, she couldn't bear the loss of the Knights of the Round Table who followed her everywhere, they were not only her warriors, her guards, but also her dearest, her siblings, and yet, the distance of more than a hundred feet was like a horizon that she could not step on no matter how hard she tried.
"Phew!" A metal crash, like a loud horn under the night sky, the heavy giant axe illuminated the moonlight, swaying on the earth, flickering in the light, a thin man, holding a short sword, stepped on the prisoner cart with one foot, like a silent appearance of death, scanning everything around, time seemed to stop at this moment, the man's appearance was very delicate, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, if it didn't appear in this way, it was easy to be a noble young master.
"His life, I bought it." Fingers flicked the short sword in his hand, as if declaring the ownership of a treasure, but there is no need for any bidding, just domineering possession, as long as the strength, there is no need for reason.
"Who are you? Why save me? Lancelot's posture, he could only barely look up at the man standing next to his shoulder, this posture made him very uncomfortable, but at the moment his body was full of shackles, so that no matter how uncomfortable he was, he could only endure it.
"Thank you for the rescue, today's grace, he will be rewarded tomorrow!" Artoria's heart was finally completely put back into his stomach, although the other party is now surrounded by many soldiers, although there is a suspicion of sneak attack, but he can kill into the belly of the enemy so quickly, and he is calm, naturally he is also a master with a sword, Lancelot's life must have been saved, although she is a daughter, but she has the same sassy as a man on the battlefield.
Lin Xiu glanced at Artoria with a complicated expression, just in the Holy Grail War not long ago, it was he who destroyed the other party's dream with his own hands, maybe the apostle space will make everything happen unspeakably, there is a miracle or a spoof of the general encounter, but at this moment, looking at the figure with a blue skirt and silver armor, Lin Xiu's psychology still swayed a little apologetic, if fate is not arranged like this, maybe there will be many endings, but... Now that it has been so arranged, the only thing that can be done is to struggle to move on.
"Huh!" In a flash of silver light, Lin Xiu's figure was gone, and a sword in his hand jumped down from the prisoner car, and the sword in his hand was like a silver dragon rising into the sky, splitting the shackles on Lancelot's body and the prisoner car in two at the same time.
"Good swordsmanship!" Lancelot also had to praise Lin Xiu's shot, just a move, so that he already realized that the strength of the other party was probably above him, but looking at his age, he should be a few years younger than himself, and it is really rare to be able to have such an achievement at this age, of course, Artoria is an exception.
But why have I never heard of such a master? But no matter what, after all, the other party saved his life, and now is not the time to think about these, if the other party's identity does not have any problems, absorbing it, it will be a lot of combat power.
"Kill!" The corners of Lin Xiu's mouth opened slightly, and only one word was spitted out, Artoria understood, and the corners of her mouth rose gently like a tacit understanding, for some reason, as soon as this man appeared, she had an indescribable sense of intimacy.
As Lin Xiu's words fell, there seemed to be three whirlpools on the battlefield, and they began to spray blood crazily, Lin Xiu's sword was fast, and the angle was unimaginable, often before he could parry, he was already in a different place, and Lancelot was open and closed, often one move was an attack, and Artoria was a complete sword expert, with the flickering of his body, he drew beautiful sword flowers one after another.
After a few seconds, there was no one left standing except for the three people standing on the field, and the corpses of Saxons were strewn all over the place.
Lin Xiu pulled a sword flower, nodded at Artoria and Lancelot, and turned to leave.
"Please wait a minute." Artoria's timely voice stopped Lin Xiu's footsteps from continuing to move forward, however, she couldn't imagine that the man who turned around had a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth at this moment. (To be continued)
