179 Zhu Yue's invitation
At noon, the two armies faced each other in the scorching voice, Artoria rode on her war horse and looked at the enemy in the distance, the breeze blew through her blue cloak, and the red dragon battle flag that was held high was also constantly fluttering, and behind her were twelve knights in full body armor, these were the twelve most powerful knights around the king, each with a holy sword given by the goddess, and the prophecy was that they would tear apart this dark age under the leadership of King Arthur, and lead the people to find light and peace!
It turns out that it is precisely because of the existence of these battlefield aces that Artoria can end the civil strife in Britain in a year, although she did not use the power of Lei Zhe, but also because of his existence, many creatures in the inner world who originally wanted to occupy Britain withdrew from the competition, otherwise Artoria would have to go through at least many years of hard work to unify Britain, and she would have to go through all kinds of ups and downs.
"After a long period of hard work, we finally have this day, and when it is after today, Britain will usher in true light, and with your efforts, the light will shine on Britain!" Artoria drew the golden holy sword, pointed ahead and said loudly, "God is equal to me!" β
The twelve knights drew their swords and pointed their swords forward, saying, "God is equal to me!" β
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Thus began the battle to determine the true overlord of Britain on this small plain, and in the end tens of thousands of people remained here forever, the plain was stained red with blood, and even decades later it was still a piece of terracotta, and it was said that a rusty sword, iron arrow, or broken armor could be picked up by digging a pit.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the girl wiped the blood from her face, she stood among the countless corpses and looked around, and finally she raised the long sword in her hand and raised her head to the sky and roared, accompanied by countless cheers, the red dragon battle flag was raised high, Lancelot and the others ignored and smiled, and then looked at the girl who held the holy sword high.
On the hill in the distance, two men had been standing here since noon, their eyes fixed on the battle just now, and they did not leave from the beginning to the end.
"Teacher, is this really good? Paying such a big price just for a tiny British Isles? Viya stood behind Reizhe, a hint of mockery on her beautiful face, she didn't like the girl named Artoria, because she thought Artoria had robbed her teacher.
And in Viva's opinion, Artoria is too naΓ―ve, yes, naΓ―ve!
She refused the help of the Uruks, didn't she know that with the help of her own people, not to mention tiny Britain, even if she conquered all of Europe, it would be no problem? And how many people will not die in this war that Vija looks like a joke?
ββ¦β¦β
Seeing that Lei Zhe didn't speak, Wei Ya continued: "What are you going to do about her marriage? Do you really want her to marry a woman? "This year, Via is the only one who stays with Lei Zhe, Tali and Fei Wen still have things to do, and the magic tower is also handed over to Akababa, she stubbornly stays, even Lei Zhe has no way to take her, and in the end she can only acquiesce in her actions.
Viya is not a fool, of course she can feel Lei Zhe's feelings for Artoria, but it is strange that he does not show all his feelings in front of the other party, he is always acting as a bad person, well, an annoying sword spirit, he will help Artoria solve the problem, but also deny the other party's ideas, the two people's minds are constantly colliding, and the relationship is also very bad.
"There are many things that you have to go through before you know your mistakes, and I don't plan to meddle in the marriage of Artoria and Gnavele, and I won't know much more until she is hurt and remorseful in the future, and I have a hunch lately that maybe I will leave this world soon." Lei Zhe looked at the figure of the girl in the sunset, looked at her smile and said, although his words were very calm, they made Wei Ya's heart tighten.
Leave... A bad feeling appeared in her chest, and it had been felt before, when Reezhe sent everyone out of Uruk thousands of years ago.
"Via, promise me one thing, if one day I leave suddenly, please help me take care of this young girl, I don't ask her to be able to rule Europe, I just want her to live her life in peace, okay?" Lei Zhe turned to look at his student, and there was a hint of pleading in his tone at this time, which made Viya's heart even more uncomfortable.
Teacher, how would you have done this for the sake of that woman? How important does she really mean to you?!
ββ¦ I get it, I'll do what you say, I promise. Viya's gaze skimmed over Reitzel to Artoria, and finally nodded.
"Thank you." At this moment, Lei Zhe really relaxed, he raised his head and looked at the sky, just now he suddenly noticed that someone was spying on him, and he would never forget the breath of the other party, because the other party was the true god of this world, the god who hindered him in the Uruk era and killed him!
The other party has noticed himself... On Reizhe's face, which no one else could look at, his expression became distorted and hideous, and the black smoke on his body became thicker.
β¦β¦ Late at night, the castle and outside the castle were filled with laughter and singing, and they sat together with their wine glasses raised in their hands, and the smell of lamb roasted on the bonfire smelled fragrant.
The soldiers danced around the bonfire and sang songs, they were celebrating today's victory in their own way, Britain was finally united under King Arthur, the darkness was over, and they looked forward to a bright future.
Inside the castle, the knights sat at a huge round table, they talked about the war today, praised themselves for their bravery, in this moment they were not estranged, in this moment they were all equal, they were laughing the same, and then fantasizing about how strong Britain would be in the future!
Artoria drank with her courtiers with a smile on her face, and even at the end she sang the ballad of her hometown, and the sound of applause and whistles continued to flow from the castle and infect the entire town.
At the top of the castle, a black knight sat alone looking at the bright moon in the sky and listening to the laughter below, his presence made people feel very incongruous, because he seemed out of place with the world, and it was impossible to easily In this joyful atmosphere, the helmet that he never took off was placed beside him, a flask, a cup was everything he had at this time, and he poured himself a drink, silent.
A chubby figure appeared behind him, Merlin, who was wearing a red magic robe, looked at the other party's lonely back, and a touch of sadness appeared on his fat face: "Sitting here alone, why don't you go and join their party?" You're going to be very popular, because you've done a lot for Tolia. β
"......" Lei Zhe drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and said with a smile on his face: "Who said I am only one person?" β
"Oh? Isn't it? I don't see anyone else but you. Merlin walked over to him and sat down, a wine glass appeared in his hand, and then he casually picked up the gourd beside Lei Zhe and poured out the wine in one gulp, and then a smile appeared on his chubby face, full of nostalgia.
"Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes a trio, who said that there is only one person below?" Lei Zhe thought of Shixian's famous sentence, and said casually, this sentence is really suitable for the current scene.
"Heh, is it Shixian Taibai's "Drinking Alone Under the Moon"? Who are the other two in your heart? The moon or your shadow, or Gilgamesh and Enkidu...? Merlin said to himself, but the expression of Lei Zhe beside him had frozen, and the cold chill spread wildly, and the originally hot night was instantly filled with a yin wind, and this power enveloped the entire city, and Artoria and the knights, who were having a celebration, suddenly stopped all their movements and raised their heads at the same time.
"Who the hell are you?!" Although Lei Zhe was very calm, his heart was turned upside down, how did Merlin know this poem, how did he know Li Bai?! And why does he know about Gilgamesh and Enkidu?!
"Hehe, it doesn't matter who I am for the time being, look over there." Merlin smiled and pointed to the sky, Lei Zhe looked in the direction he was pointing, he stood up and squinted his eyes, the cold chill had completely changed, and it had become a naked killing intent.
A flock of crows hovered in the sky, obscuring the moon like a dark cloud, but the crows did not make a call, not even a sound of flapping their wings, they just circled, and then kept condensing.
Black feathers fell from the sky, and the crows in the sky were gone, replaced by a woman with black wings, long purple hair, perfect body curves, and a strange crow mask on her face.
"Good evening, Lord Leizhe." Black Wing Gong saluted Lei Zhe slightly, and then said.
"Black Wing Gong, I said before that if you dare to appear in my sight again, I will definitely kill you, even if your master is Zhu Yue!" Lei Zhe's voice was very cold, and the black smoke condensed behind him into a devilish face, which roared at the Blackwing Gong as if it was about to devour her.
"Lord Lei Zhe, please put away your anger, I am here just to invite you to the Moon City, Lord Zhu Yue is invited." Black Wing Gong ignored Lei Zhe's hostility, she had long known that Lei Zhe would behave like this after seeing her, after all, she used Artoria as a threat at the beginning, and it was precisely because of that time that Lei Zhe did not have a good impression of her and Zhu Yue.
"Zhu Yue... What's that dead woman up to? Just when Lei Zhe was about to say something, he suddenly paused, and the black smoke condensed on his face and turned into a black helmet, covering his appearance again, and at this time, Artoria and the others had already appeared behind him, and the girl held the sword in the stone and stared at the strange enemy above and said to Lei Zhe: "Who is she?" β
"Dear King Arthur, you can call me Duke Blackwing, congratulations on your unification of Britain..."Duke Blackwing said to Artoria very politely, and then her eyes fell on Lei Zhe, and said with a smile: "Although I have seen it many times in magic, I didn't expect King Arthur to be really good, no wonder you will pay so much for her..."
Black Wing Gong stopped before he could finish speaking, because a long sword was on her neck, and Lei Zhe had already appeared in front of her: "If you want to die, just keep talking..."
ββ¦ I don't want to, please put it, Lord Zhu Yue has been waiting for you for a long time. Cold sweat slid down her cheeks, Black Wing Gong stopped teasing Lei Zhe, she knew that if she continued to talk about Lei Zhe, Lei Zhe would definitely kill her!
"......" put away the long sword, Lei Zhe looked at Artoria, and finally he didn't say anything, but put his hand on the shoulder of the Black Wing Gong, and the two disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Teacher, what is that?" Artoria didn't know who the Black Wing Gong was, and Lancelot and the others were silent, they knew more than the girl, that woman was a powerful dead apostle just now!
Merlin looked at Artoria, then shook his head: "It's nothing, let's go back, tonight's banquet continues, it's all gone..."
