Chapter 18: The Kingdom Rerises (10/60)
There was no one in the king's tent at this time, only Artoria and Char. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Looking left and right, this is really the king's tent that has not changed at all as in memory. However, two years have passed, and this once comfortable and slightly ornate royal tent seems to have changed a lot, and there are still holes in some places that look like they haven't been repaired for a long time.
The round table in the king's tent was still in its original position, and there were scattered scattered papers and incomplete sand tables on it.
To the right of the tent were scattered weapons and a few solitary oil lamps. On the left, there is a simple bookshelf with a lot of books, but some of them look like they've been turned over, and the pages are quite missing.
Artoria is really trying to learn, she is desperately trying to absorb and understand all the knowledge she lacks, and at the same time she is strict with herself not to be extravagant. The noble posture of serving the country and the people, the figure who is serious and persistent, and clumsily desperately tries his best to complete his dream...... No matter how many times I watched it, Char was deeply fascinated.
The pen and ink on the table also said that he gave it to her last time?
By the way, that seemed like two years ago.
I don't know why, Char's heart suddenly swelled with a vague sense of tyranny. At this moment, the Noble Alliance, the Buckle, the Duchy of Tedus, the Viking Forces, and many other possible enemies of Great Britain in the future came to mind. There are so many enemies, so many intractable enemies may be far beyond Artoria's original fate.
But maybe that's why I'm here to help her...... Perhaps, my destiny is destined to protect her dreams and happiness. Char didn't deny that this thought made him feel happy, and even the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked to reveal an irrepressible smile.
"Hey, did Char hear me!?Explain your army to me!"
Suddenly awakened from the memory, what appeared in front of him was Artoria's flushed face, and she poked her finger at her armor with a dissatisfied expression and said. That girlish coquettish posture is so rare, even Char took about thirty seconds to slowly come back to his senses.
If you think about it, it seems that this kind of thing has happened many times in the past two years. But no matter that time, I was like an idiot, and I was stunned on the spot, and then it took a while to slowly regain my senses. It's a shame, but I have to admit that I enjoy the feeling of being relied on by Artoria.
Just like now, the side that will never appear in front of outsiders is completely unconcerned to show to himself, this trust and dependence really makes Char feel from the bottom of his heart that it is really good to be able to live in this world. And then - the death of Tedes and the League of Nobles was even more miserable.
"Hmm, I'm sorry I'm distracted......" Char shook his head, feeling his resistance to Artoria getting weaker. I don't know if it's because the blood of the two is the same relationship, this unconscious feeling of wanting to be close makes Char have a premonition that it may gradually get out of control.
Of course, it's fine if you just want to be close, but once you think that Artoria's posture at this time is seen by both men and women other than yourself...... Hmm, I feel as if I will become a great demon king, where does this jealousy and annoyance come from?
Two years ago, it was just a matter of having a good impression of the other party, but now this feeling is getting stronger and stronger. Is it true that it has anything to do with dragon's blood or the connection of Avalon? But these are the products of magic and mythology, and there is absolutely no function to affect human feelings.
Artoria is basically used to Char's sudden distraction as she speaks.
To be honest, compared to Char's poisonous tongue, this kind of distraction is not a problem at all. And usually, Char would not make such low-level mistakes, but occasionally he always likes to look at himself like this.
"Really, Char is always like this, and when it comes to the Puren Royal City, he always hides it. Don't forget, O you, you were my property before you were the lord of the Puron King's City!
With a snap, Artoria flicked a finger on Char's forehead, who let out a painful cry.
"Hmm...... How dare you flick my forehead!?" Char said with the corners of her mouth twitching.
"Stupid~ This is the last time I gave a return gift. Artoria said with a smile. Speaking of which, Char teased her like this last time in front of Lancelot and Bedi Well. As a result, she herself was nothing but ashamed and angry, but the two knights of the round table directly drew their swords and rushed forward!
"Dare to call me Draco in this world. D. Char is a stupid woman, I'm afraid you are the only one in the world. Char touched his forehead and said with a helpless expression.
"Stupid, stupid!!!Don't mention gender!"
This is probably the equivalent of Artoria's taboo and the like. Anyway, Char stepped on the tail of the little lion very unceremoniously, and a certain stupid king who was stimulated on the spot went crazy.
- A golden sword that broke through the sky.
But Char hit Artoria's wrist with a backhand, grabbed the opponent's wrist with his right hand, and inserted his left hand between Artoria's fingers, and snatched the golden sword with a forceful flick and held it in his hand.
In just 1.5 seconds of confrontation, the winner was decided.
Char grinned wickedly as one hand grabbed Artoria's wrist, and with the other hand, he held the golden sword and placed the blade on the slender neck of the other party. Powerful dynamic vision, near-invincible speed, and the power bonus of the Red Dragon's Blood have created a king who has reached the peak of both strength and intelligence.
“...... Hmm, it's faster than last time. Artoria ignored the holy sword around her neck, she was not worried that Char would hurt her at all, but she complained a little about the other party's growth speed was too amazing.
Char smiled softly. "No matter how strong I am, I am your thing. You can use this power to your heart's content, and I'll take care of the rest. ”
"I know, I know Char...... Your feelings for me. ”
Artoria suddenly took a step forward, and fell headlong into Char's arms.
Artoria's sudden bold move frightened Char and quickly waved his hand away from the holy sword, after all, he didn't want to hurt Artoria, but who would dare to hurt her? Don't think that death can be regarded as the end, he is not yet the king of Puren's heart to this extent!
“...... Ahem, Artoria isn't a good one, if anyone sees it, I feel like it's not just Lancelot's bastards going to cut me. ”
However, at this time, Artoria, who had taken off her guard and completely revealed her tired and tired side, could no longer hear Char's complaints. She just wanted to pamper herself a little for a moment.
Recently, there have been rumors among the Knights of the Round Table and among most of the noble upper echelons that Char is not good. ”
Char was stunned when he heard this, and he felt Artoria's body in his arms trembling slightly, and a pair of arms tightly hugged his shoulders, as if he wanted to integrate her whole person into Char's body.
Normally, Char would be very happy to continue, but now this abnormal expression made Char feel an emotion that had never appeared in Artoria's heart, that is, evasion. Something that makes Artoria very painful and helpless wants to escape, and makes her tired heart a little easier.
"The crumbs...... What good things have you done!" Char frowned. If necessary, no one would question Char's decisiveness in rushing to kill them all.
The development of the royal city of Pulun is really fast, although the lockdown order was issued as early as half a year ago, but before that, many things did not shy away from the royal capital. Naturally, the great achievements of the Pulen King City have also attracted the attention of many people, and many of the technologies are ahead of their time and feel extremely terrifying.
The simplest example is some of the weapons and equipment inside the Pulon King City, not to mention the repeating crossbow and some of the weapons of the D series that have been exposed, to put it simply, the Gundam.78 series of city defense guns on the city gate tower can't be hidden if you want to.
But this is only in terms of armament, and the development of the city is getting worse day by day. Many people find it hard to believe that the prosperity of the inner city of Pleon is a new city built in two years, but they have to admit that they have developed at a level that definitely exceeds that of the whole of Great Britain.
The Puren Kings City has done extremely well in all aspects, but the relative problem also comes.
All of the technology in Puren King City was high-end secret, and it was never considered to be shared with anyone. From Char's point of view, he would rather believe that there is peace in the world than in the level of intelligence management in Great Britain. Refuse to disclose all information to the royal capital and Great Britain, and take strict precautions against everyone, including the Twelve Knights of the Round Table.
Of course, this kind of thing was taken for granted by Char, because he didn't trust anyone other than King Arthur at all. In fact, the C.I.A. is embedded in virtually every department under his supervision, including the military and commercial organizations. This is one of Char's strengths to completely control the entire Puron Royal City.
But on the British side, it feels completely different. The city of Pullon grew rapidly, and the merchants of paper, glass and porcelain earned almost more in half a year than the taxes of Great Britain in five years combined, which made many people red-eyed.
But red eyes are red eyes, and what is even more worrying is that the military development of the Pulun royal city is faster than the development of people's livelihood. This had to make some of the Knights of the Round Table wary. After all, the Pulun Royal City is no longer the Wuxia Amon of the past, and if the Pulun Royal City really wants to mess around, the defense system of the capital may not be able to stop it.
