183 A statue
Looking at Artoria, who was dressed in full costume, Lei Zhe said, "You guys go down first." ”
The maids who surrounded the girl saluted and left the room, and soon the room was left with Reezhe and Artoria.
Walking in front of the girl, Lei Zhe raised his hand to help her arrange her cloak, and then straightened the other party's slightly inclined crown, this was the first time he showed such an intimate gesture to the girl, and Artoria also let Lei Zhe's movements, silent.
"Now that you've made your choice, don't regret it in the future." Lei Zhe rearranged the girl's clothes, took two steps back and looked at the other party and said.
"I don't regret whatever happens in the future, because it's my own choice." Artoria replied to Reizhe, her green eyes looking at the black knight who had been by her side for a year, and her heart became not very calm.
"If one day in the future you are confused, you can no longer hold the sword in your hand and you can't hold your beliefs, so you will drop the sword and leave everything you are carrying, and enjoy your life, not as King Arthur, but as Artoria..."
Is it as simple as dazzling? Perhaps, I will never forget it for the rest of my life... Reich pushed open the door, and there were already many people waiting outside, including the twelve Knights of the Round Table, Merlin, and Artoria's adoptive father, Sir Eckert, Reezer stepped aside and said to Artoria, "The beautiful bride is waiting for you, my king..."
Artoria looked at Lei Zhe with a complicated gaze, to be honest, she didn't know what this sword spirit was thinking until now, and she didn't understand everything he was doing.
From the very beginning, the other party did not accept his ideas and practices, but he just did not accept but never thought about changing, he would instruct himself how to change when he needed help, and when he didn't need it, he would stand aside silently, whether it was war, politics, or governance, he only gave advice, and did not force himself to do what he had to do according to his opinion.
Just like this somewhat ridiculous wedding, he was silent afterwards and said, "You'll regret it." He doesn't say why, as if he always did.
Walking up to Reizhe, Artoria stopped and said in a voice that only the other party could hear, "What the hell are you thinking?" ”
“… Who knows? Even I don't know what I'm thinking. Lei Zhe's spiritual power was transmitted directly into Artoria's mind, and then he stopped talking.
Artoria stared at Reezer for a few seconds, then stepped away, a smile on her face, though it didn't seem to come from the heart.
Looking at Artoria's back, Lei Zhe closed his eyes, and many images appeared in his mind, which was in a burning palace, and the long sword in his hand penetrated the girl's chest, but she smiled, smiled and touched her cold helmet and said 'thank you'... This prophetic image kept coming from the moment he woke up, and even though he didn't need to sleep, it would appear every time he closed his eyes, making him distraught.
Would you do that yourself? Kill Artoria with your own hands, this, this girl who is very important to herself?
"What are you thinking?"
Lei Zhe opened his eyes and looked at Merlin beside him, he shook his head and said, "... It's nothing. ”
Merlin stared at Lei Zhe, and then a smile appeared on his face, he patted Lei Zhe on the shoulder and said, "The future can change, you have power now, don't you?" ”
“……”
Changed? Strength? When I don't have power, I crave power, but when I do have power, I find that it's not that important to me, why do I think this way? Why?
…… Artoria took Gnavel's hand and walked up the steps step by step, petals falling from the sky, and the two walked to Merlin, who was officiating at the wedding, with the blessing of the people.
In the crowd of spectators, two girls stood on tiptoe and kept searching, as if they were looking for someone, the younger girl pointed to a knight in black armor in the distance and said, "Sister Saya, is that person the person you are looking for?" ”
Following the direction pointed by the girl, Saya saw a black knight, looked at the other party's side face Saya shook his head: "He's not, I don't know him,"
"Really? There were only a few people wearing black armor present, since they were all wrong, could it be said that the information was wrong? The girl frowned, with a look of pity, it seemed that the person Saya was looking for would not appear.
The words of the two attracted the attention of a knight next to him, who turned his head and said with a smile on his face: "Two beautiful young ladies, are you here to find someone?" I'm familiar with the situation here, and maybe I can help you. ”
Hearing the knight's words, the slightly younger girl slapped her forehead and said, "We are so stupid, why didn't we think to ask someone here?" This knight, do you know a black knight named Lei Zhe? ”
Hearing the girl's words, the knight's expression stiffened slightly, and his face became not very good-looking, and even the crowd around them looked at the two girls at the same time, and their bodies involuntarily took a few steps back, and the knight asked with a wry smile: "This, are you two looking for Lord Lei Zhe?" ”
"We don't know if this Lei Zhe is the person we are looking for, but their names are indeed the same, is there this person here, Lord Knight?"
Yes, how could it not? Who in this city doesn't know the silent black knight beside the king? It's just that no one wants to mention it, although Lei Zhe has never shown his strength, but that kind of aura that is darker than darkness and more terrifying than hell will not be forgotten as long as he experiences it, in the eyes of everyone, it is more appropriate to say that he is not so much a knight as a demon king who ran out of hell.
Eighty percent of the entire kingdom only King Arthur would accept each other, right?
The young knight raised his finger to one place, and Saya and the two looked in the direction of his finger, Saya's body trembled, and the wolf-tailed girl grabbed the corner of Saya's skirt, lowered her head and bit her lip and trembled.
The corner seemed to be a forbidden area, no one was standing there, and the light of the sky could not illuminate the area, and the corner was filled with black smoke, and the red light flickering from inside stared at King Arthur and Queen Gneville.
When the three of them looked at this black mist, the red light inside moved, although it was just a gaze, but the three of them took a step back at the same time, and the young knight lowered his head and said: "That is Lord Lei Zhe, I don't know if he is the person you are looking for, but I advise you not to approach him at will." ”
The wolf-tailed girl tugged at the corner of Saya's skirt and said, "Sister Saya, is that really the person you are looking for?" How is it completely different from what you say? The other party is so scary! ”
Saya looked at the black mist, the red light in it had moved away from this side, she just looked at it, and then shook her head: "No, he is not the person I am looking for, and the breath of thunder should not be like this." ”
"Isn't it? What should we do then, Sister Saya? ”
"Let's see when they leave, let's go." After speaking, Saya took the hand of the wolf-tailed girl and left the crowd, and at this time, Lei Zhe turned his eyes again, looking at the backs of the two with some doubts, the girl with dark green long hair gave him a very familiar feeling.
But he quickly shook his head, shaking the inexplicable feeling out of his head, and his gaze fell on Artoria again.
In Merlin's blessing, to the cheers of the commoners and knights, Artoria kissed her bride Gnavier, her eyes shifted, and Ryzhe looked at Lancelot, maybe there should have been......... Everyone else was laughing at the evening feast, but Lei Zhe was still standing in the dark corner as usual, he never fit into the group, and no one invited him, as if two parallel lines could never intersect.
At the banquet, many nobles offered their congratulatory gifts, including money, collectibles, and legendary swords.
And in the middle of the feast, Artoria's adoptive father, Sir Eckert, gave his own gift, and when this gift was given, everyone was silent, and many people's eyes fell on Rayzhe, looking at him with strange eyes.
Eckert's gift was a marble statue, this statue is very well preserved, and it is very detailed, both in clothing and expression, this statue is from Rome, and the person who carved it is named Nero. Claudius. Drusus. Romanicus, Rome's most famous female tyrant!
Lei Zhe looked at the statue in a daze, he was really stunned at this moment, because the statue was carved by himself, and he was also himself in the era of the Three Kings, with a familiar smile on his face, a cigarette in his hand and a familiar military uniform..."There are twelve statues in total, but half of them were destroyed in the Roman fire, and the rest were damaged for various reasons, this is the most perfectly preserved one, and it is also the only one engraved with a message among all the statues! Eckert said, his gaze constantly looking at Rezhe, he was already stupid when he first received the statue, and he suspected that this Reezer was not the current Black Knight, because it felt too different.
"Lei Zhe, the love of the rest of my life..."Artoria said softly, and then looked at the black knight in the corner, her mood indescribably complicated.
Lei Zhe walked into the venue, and everyone's eyes were focused on him, and everyone wanted to know what the Black Knight was going to do. Squatting in front of the statue, Lei Zhe's hand slowly brushed over the short message, and the words disappeared as his hand moved, and when everything was over, Lei Zhe turned into black smoke and disappeared in front of everyone.
Nero, what right do I have to make you love...
