Chapter Seventy-Seven: "Honest Encounters"

The stars in the sky were dense and busy, and they didn't make a sound, and it seemed that the sky was bustling. A comb of the moon is like a description of a girl who has not grown up, but she is no longer shy to see people, and the light and outline are fresh and dewy, and gradually you can set off the night scene. The little insects in the small garden and grass are talking trivially at night. The frogs from nowhere worked together to boil the fire. A few stars of fireflies swim around, not like flying, like floating in the thick air, in the dark place where the moonlight is not visible, a little firefly flickering, like a small green eye on a summer night. It was the middle of the night, and it shouldn't be so noisy, so I still slept peacefully with my little eyes closed.

However, the silence was broken for a moment, and a Saxon soldier was still patrolling the city walls, which were relatively remote and the walls were so high that King Arthur's army had not moved any more, and he was lazily cheering up tonight.

The nerves that were struggling on the verge of death at any time made the little money he had take to the land of fireworks during the day, and he recalled the woman's enchanting figure, which coiled around his body like a silver snake, squeezing out his last trace of strength.

There shouldn't be anything going on tonight, as there has been news that King Arthur has been captured by them, so it can be easy to get on for a few days.

Just thinking about this, his throat suddenly tightened, his pupils dilated instantly, and the warning sound stuck in his throat only turned into a very low "Hmm", and the next moment, his body had turned into a cold corpse.

Lin Xiu took off his clothes quickly, and the next moment, the Saxon soldiers who walked into Donegal had turned into Lin Xiu, and as far as the eye could see, Donegal in the night had been covered in bruises from the baptism of war.

Occasionally, there are a few places where the lights are flickering. It also seems to be particularly depressed. A few eyes were faintly shot at him in the corner. Then he quickly hid again, Lin Xiu knew that those should be the Britons who originally lived here.

A group of patrolmen walked by quickly and neatly, Lin Xiu's skin was still a little different from theirs, his skin was too white and tender, although it had been covered with paint, he still carefully pressed the brim of his hat down, and then walked towards a tavern. After all, if he wants to know about Artoria, he can only inquire little by little at the moment.

The best way to get news is called an inn in the Celestial Empire, and here, it can only be a tavern, and in a short time, Lin Xiu has already come to the door of a tavern that seems to be the largest, despite the war and strife, occasionally some drunks who are crying and mourning the death of the country are thrown out of it. But overall, it is already the most lively existence in the city of Donegal at the moment.

The venue of the bar is not too big. The soldiers of Saxony are dancing their vulgar dance noisily, and some beautiful women are sandwiched between their bodies.

Lin Xiu found a quieter place and listened intently to some of their occasional conversations.

Drunken and drunk, the Saxon soldiers had no idea how important a piece of information could be in such an environment.

Since it is now actually under the control of the Saxons, it is not particularly difficult to find out a little bit of information.

It didn't take long for Lin Xiu to hear the news he wanted.

Soon after entering the city, the Artorian men were discovered by the enemy, but there is no information on how they were discovered.

But Artoria also reacted extremely quickly, and the more than 20 people under his command were also loyal, and they insisted on escorting Artoria from the layers of encirclement, fighting to find a way out, that is to say, the Saxons have not really captured Artoria at all.

The Saxons were overjoyed by the fact that they had been frantically searching the city for the past two days, but that it seemed that Artoria had been wounded, and that they had not blocked the news, but had expanded it vigorously, hoping to make the last of their confidence in the recalcitrant elements in the city who were ready to rise up in revolt.

Such news may be a bit of a blow to others, however, Lin Xiu's psychology is much more stable, since Artoria has not been captured by the enemy, then it is already a very good situation, but her next whereabouts will inevitably be more hidden, and it will be quite troublesome to find.

In this way, I am afraid that a week is very tight.

Lin Xiu was thinking about his thoughts, when a beggar pushed the door and walked in, his leg was already a little lame, with a dilapidated bowl, and he was begging for it everywhere.

Some Britons tried to give him some help, but they were soon stopped by the scolding of the Saxons, and the beggar was beaten violently, and instead of getting a little food, he lost a few teeth, and faded away to the laughter and scolding of the Saxons.

Lin Xiu thought for a while, smiled inadvertently at the corner of his mouth, got up and settled the wine money, and then followed the figure of the beggar.

The beggar was not an ordinary citizen of Donegal at all, he was one of the twenty people who entered Donegal with Artoria, their king had been wounded, and the whole city was now hunting them down, so they could only turn into beggars and beg for some food, but apparently they had failed again this time, and these people had been starved for nearly two days.

But worse things were yet to come, he limped not fast, and not far from the tavern, he found that he had been caught by the tail of a Saxon soldier behind him, and he did not know where he had shown his horse's feet, but it was impossible to return to the place where he had taken refuge temporarily, and that would certainly bring danger to their king.

As soon as he bit the root of his teeth, the veteran who had followed the southern and northern wars of Altoria for many years made a decision, he wanted to lure this Saxon soldier to another place and solve it silently, but his leg was already lame, otherwise, it would be effortless to solve a Saxon eagle dog.

Thinking of this, he tightened the dagger in his arms again, and at a corner, hid his figure.

It was getting dark. The pace of the other party is relatively fast. Such a surprise attack. Absolutely fatal for an ordinary soldier.

Thinking of this, his conviction was a little stronger, the moonlight dragged figure was getting closer and closer, and the Saxon soldier seemed to have no defense at all.

Just as he turned the corner, the knight, disguised as a beggar, suddenly fought out of the garbage and aimed at the Saxon soldier's vest. He was sure that although his legs and feet were not good, the opponent would definitely be fatal with a blow under such a defenseless premise.

"Click"

Without hearing the sound of the dagger entering the flesh, the Saxon soldier looked at the remaining half of the dagger in his hand in disbelief, and at the moment when he stabbed it out just now, the other party suddenly turned around as if he had eyes on his back, and actually grabbed his dagger with only two fingers.

After that, I didn't see any force, and the dagger was forced into two by him.

This cavalryman who had followed Artoria for many years. I would never have thought that an ordinary Saxon soldier would have such a miraculous stunt.

However. From the moment he failed in his assassination, he was ready, the dagger was reversed, ready to be plunged into his throat, he must not allow the Saxons to capture him alive, in that case, he was afraid that he would not bear the torture and say that their king's lock was there.

At this moment, life has become worthless.

"Dangchang"

The dagger did not plunge into his throat, and at that moment the Saxon soldier suddenly raised his kick and kicked away the dagger he was holding in his hand, not even giving him the opportunity to commit suicide.

"I'll fight you, Saxon dog!"

"Quiet! See who I am! ”

The two voices sounded at the same time, and the cavalryman's fist was about to fall, however, when he saw the side of the person who came, he couldn't wave it anymore, for Lin Xiu, the mysterious knight of the East, because he often appeared on the left and right of my king, it would be said that other people would not be impressed, but for his special appearance, every soldier would almost never forget it.

The moment he recognized Lin Xiu's identity, the cavalryman suddenly weakened, knelt on the ground and sobbed silently, because he knew that their king was saved.

Artoria lay quietly on the haystack, a relatively secluded dilapidated church, and above the dilapidated head, you could even see the stars of the moon.

Her face was as quiet as ever, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes, her armor was torn, even the blue hem was dirty, the armor on her abdomen was broken, blood had seeped out of it, and although she had bandaged it a little, she knew that her life was constantly passing.

Of the twenty cavalrymen around her, there were only three left, and although the injuries of the three of them were not as serious as hers, they could no longer move as freely as before, and the other three barely better people all went out to look for food.

It's been two days, the search of the Saxons is gradually expanding, it is only a matter of time before they are found, however, Artoria does not dare to have any trace of decadence, he is the spiritual belief of these people, once it collapses, there is really no way to survive.

Looking at these soldiers who followed her, she always had a voice in her psyche, constantly asking herself, is it really right for God to choose her to be the king?

It was at this moment that the door suddenly opened, and it was one of the men who had gone to find food, his face filled with irrepressible joy, but Artoria stared, and he saw another man behind him, dressed in the costume of a Saxon soldier.

Almost instinctively, Artoria held the sword in the stone, her first thought was that she had been betrayed, however, she couldn't raise any hatred, but she had to make a final effort, only King Arthur who died in battle, how could there be an Artoria who was captured alive?

Several other soldiers also saw Lin Xiu's figure clearly, and their first reaction was like Artoria, and they pointed at the soldier who entered first and scolded.

"Abel, you have rebelled at such a time."

"You are not worthy to be the king's knight, be prepared to die."

"Don't underestimate us, even if you only have teeth left, you don't want to hurt our king."

The person called Able was the same cavalryman who met Lin Xiu, if he hadn't reacted a little faster, he almost had his head directly split by the big sword of another knight.

That's when he remembered. Lin Xiu behind him was also wearing a Saxon military uniform. Hurry up and explain. It wasn't until Lin Xiu took off his hat that these people suddenly realized, and then fell into joy.

Since Lin Xiu appeared here, it proves that the reinforcements have arrived, not only is their king saved, but even they may save their lives to a large extent.

Artoria also had a rare smile on her face, and with the last of her strength, she slowly collapsed on the haystack. Lin Xiu naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked over, Artoria's body was now full of holes, it was really a little unimaginable, how this little girl actually exercised her will like his.

"My king."

Lin Xiu shouted with some emotion, whether it is Nero or Artoria in front of them, they all have their own beliefs to carry it out to the end, as kings. They have all abandoned everything in this direction and are steadfast in their beliefs.

Just from this point. Lin Xiu admired him very much, because he was a person who had no faith at all.

"It's not timely enough for Qing to come, has Donegal already taken it?"

In Artoria's mind, there is only one reason why Lin Xiu can rush here at this time, that is, Donegal has been taken, but I don't know who gave such an order so decisively.

Lin Xiu didn't speak, just shook his head lightly, seeing his performance like this, not only Artoria, but even the soldiers behind him who were originally full of joy also chuckled, since there were no Donegal, it meant that their form was still very critical.

"That's Qing came to save me, although it's a little embarrassing, but how many people did Qing bring? And how did you hide from the Saxons of DoΓ±gal? β€œ

Artoria frowned, such a result was not what she wanted, she didn't expect that because of one of her own mistakes, she would have to take the lives of many of her subordinates, the corners of her mouth were a little bitter, but she also knew that this was their helpless move.

"My king doesn't have to worry, I'm the only one who comes."

As soon as Lin Xiu's words came out, the other knights suddenly felt like ashes, they also knew very well that Lin Xiu was very powerful, and they had also heard of the legend of the Morning Star, but no matter how strong he was, how many enemies could he have? Can he be stronger than their king? It's full of Saxon soldiers.

As soon as Artoria heard Lin Xiu's words, her psychology began to think, and soon, her psychology had an answer, and she gave a look at those pro-soldiers, and several people quietly left the room, leaving only Lin Xiu and Artoria for a while.

"Ahem, Qing doesn't have to take it too seriously, the imperial sister is just worried about my safety, and she may have lost her mind a little, but since Qing is here, I believe there will always be a way, you have always been full of plans."

At this time, Artoria first made an excuse to his imperial sister, although she didn't know the specific content of the conversation between Lin Xiu and them, but Lin Xiu was in danger alone, so it would definitely not be a pleasant conversation.

Lin Xiu nodded disapprenosingly, and then helped Artoria's body up.

"Let's leave the rest of the matter aside for the time being, I'll help you heal first."

Lin Xiu saw that Artoria was injured like this, so he naturally wanted to use a medical kit for her, but he had to use a better excuse, otherwise, it would be difficult for him to guarantee that he would not be burned by them as a demon one day.

"Well, this is a healing method in my hometown, it's very magical, well, you can see the effect immediately after using it, don't be too surprised when your king falls."

Lin Xiu thought about it, and had no choice but to put the reason on this, and he had to pretend to look like he was healing his back in a martial arts movie.

"You...... You go and close the door. β€œ

There was a slight tremor in Artoria's voice, which made Lin Xiu a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it, walked over quickly, and closed the door.

As he turned, Artoria took a deep breath and had already peeled himself into a white and tender little white sheep.

Artoria doesn't have many scruples, after all, in her heart, she has already regarded herself as an inhuman existence, and any emotions have been abandoned, but she also knows that she is a daughter, and if she lets others see it, it will inevitably cause a lot of panic.

As soon as Lin Xiu turned around, he was dumbfounded, what the hell is going on? I just said healing, I didn't say that you should untie your clothes.

Artoria thought was also very simple, her injuries were all over her body, and no matter how magical the healing method in Lin Xiu's hometown was, I was afraid that it would inevitably have to bandage the wounds, so she took the initiative to cooperate.

"I ...... My king, I ...... How I Heal...... No need to take off your clothes. ”

Lin Xiu's face was completely red, and his eyes were closed at this time, although Artoria's white body was stained with a lot of blood, but the crystal clear skin had obviously been seen by him, although he felt a little sorry for Tifa, but he also knew that it was just a misunderstanding, and he didn't have too much guilt, but after all, he still looked at the other party's body, which made him shy.

"Huh?"

When Artoria heard Lin Xiu say this, she realized that she was wrong, but looking at Lin Xiu's flushed cheeks, two red clouds rose on her face for the first time, she didn't know that she was a daughter, she just deliberately forgot about it.

At this time, seeing Lin Xiu's performance like this, her psychology was a little happy for no reason, and the specific reason was not very clear to herself, but she just felt that she was seen by him, and besides, he was shy, that's it. (To be continued......)

PS: Today's second shift, well, I'm going to have some dinner, if I come back in good condition, I will try to add another one to everyone.

It's a little compensation for everyone.
