As the chief knight of the Guard of the Kingdom of Great Britain, the chief knight's name is Pumpcre Casas. The surname www.biquge.info is inherited from his great father, Casas, the former leader of the Praetorian Guard of King Uther. Although his father had been killed in battle for thirteen years, Pumpclay had followed his father's will and had vowed to dedicate his life to the great Kingdom of Great Britain.

When he joined the British Guards Knights ten years ago, Pumpclay had already sworn an oath. He will be incarnated as a shield, and he will be incarnated as a sword, and my flesh will be the sacred barrier of Great Britain. This means that he will be the shield of Great Britain against all invading enemies. He is the sword of Great Britain, sweeping away all the enemies who invade. His body was the wall of Great Britain, and it never stopped until it collapsed and died.

This time, the Knight Captain Pumpclay was ordered to bring the awakened Char to meet King Arthur.

But to be honest, Pump Clay didn't think that there was any merit in this too young boy in front of him, as the commander of the Guards of the British royal family, he actually went to pick up such a young boy in person, and Pump Clay was still a little unwilling in his heart.

However, it was Lancelot, the First Knight of the Round Table, who personally conveyed this order. You must know that the lord is an arrogant existence that no one botheres to pay attention to except King Arthur. But even an adult as respectful as him paid special attention to this young man, so as one of the Knights of the Round Table in preparation, he naturally didn't dare to pump Clay slowly.

But Pump Clay was still a little skeptical, did the young boy in front of him really have the value that even Lancelot had so respected? In other words, was he really sixteen years old, not twelve or thirteen? His face was too young, and it was only by virtue of his overly steady and arrogant aura that he could make people realize that he was not immature and simple.

The first time I met Char was in his lounge, when Pump Clay had just arrived to knock on the door and call.

Unexpectedly, Char had already left the room fully dressed, and was now leaning against the wall with the door open, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.

Pump Clay noticed the teenager in front of him.

His face was no longer so pale compared to when he was sent. After taking off the blood-stained armor, he was wearing a simple civilian dress today, his slightly curly black hair hung down to his shoulders, and a pair of sword eyebrows were slightly raised in displeasure at this time.

Those clear eyes, which seemed to see through everything, were as sharp as eagle eyes.

When Char saw Pumpclay's appearance, he opened his mouth with an impatient expression and said something that made Pumpcrey stiffen on the spot.

Char said, "-It's too slow, you idiot. Turtles with short legs can run faster than you!"

Pump Clay: "............"

Swear to God and the esteemed King Arthur that if this little bastard in front of him is a handpicked figure by Lancelot, he must let this stinky boy know what respect is!

Obviously, Pump Clay didn't know how strong Char was after being strengthened by the red dragon's bloodline. Now even Lancelot is in full force, and Char can't help Char, Char's strength has long exceeded the scope of human beings and reached the strength of half a heroic spirit. And if he is willing to become a Heroic Spirit after death, his power will be doubled tenfold as much as he is now, and he will become a being that will make Alaya consciousness look at it.

The only person who can restrain Char is the only person, and she is the only weakness Char has now.

She is Artoria Pendragon.

The only thing that would make Draco . D. Char, this man, Her Majesty the Queen who gave everything in the name of righteousness.

........................

Pump Clay withdrew the corners of his mouth, holding back the anger in his stomach and showing a forced smile.

"Xia Yaqing, I am the leader of the royal guard, and the British royal knight Pump Clay is also. I have been commanded to bring you to the king, and I hope you will come with me at once. ”

On "Captain of the Guard" and "Chief Knights Royal", Pumpclay uttered in a voice that almost gritted his teeth. It was as if he was deliberately showing off his power and status, trying to make Char show a surprised or shocked expression.

However, the result obviously disappointed Pump Clay, and after seeing the other party's expression, Pump Clay's blood vessels almost collapsed.

Thankfully, Pumpclay endured it.

Under Char's expression of "do the right thing, idiot, delay me again, believe it or not, I'll kill you", Pump Clay gritted his teeth and turned around to lead the way in front. At this time, Pumpclay's heart is broken...... Father, this is not the same as what you said about the Knight Commander being respected wherever he goes!

The two of them walked through a long and deep hallway.

Char noticed that the corridors were made of stone on both sides, and that the ceiling overhead, although quite technologically advanced, was almost the same as that of a Roman royal palace. But it's a little different. The palaces built by the Romans of the same era can be described as exquisite works of art in every sense of the word.

Since the founding of the Roman Empire, their military technology and construction techniques have been world-renowned. Especially around 100 AD, the Roman Empire, which reached its peak at its peak, had become the only symbol of civilization on the continent of Europa. At that time, the Mediterranean had been completely conquered, and Egypt in the East, the Middle East, the vicinity of Turkey, and most of Eastern Europe fell into the territory of the Roman Empire.

And apparently this corridor has been built in the Romanesque style...... No, it should be said that the palace itself is also one of the legacies left by the Romans.

As Char walked through a corridor with plaster statues, he subconsciously squinted at the new head placed on the far side.

The avatar with a rough beard, attentive eyes, slightly crooked neck, mouth open as if giving some supreme order. That was King Uther, the father of King Arthur.

A king who was also born in a legend and ended in a legend.

“......... Hey, idiots in front. This palace must have been built by the Romans, why was it held by the British?"

Hearing the arrogant and rude words in the back, a few more hilar veins burst out of Pump Clay's brain.

However, he still tried very hard to suppress it.

"Well, I don't know much about that. However, it is said that thirty years ago, the young King Uther and his best friend, Mentor Merlin, built this territory. The Romans then gave the castle to them as a reward, hoping that King Uther would be able to stabilize the invading Highlanders (Scots) and buy time for the Romans to reorganize their army. ”

But for some reason, the Romans never returned. It was not until twenty years ago that the Romans began to gradually withdraw their troops, as if they had completely abandoned the country, and never appeared again. It seems that there is a division within their country, and there are also rumors that an extremely powerful barbarian state has emerged on the opposite continent, and the Roman Empire is currently trying its best to eliminate them. ”

Although Pump Clay was unhappy with Char, he dutifully explained what he knew.

"Extremely powerful country?" Char raised an eyebrow.

In the third century AD, there was basically no country that could go head-to-head with the Roman Empire, and this is not a YY history, and the Han Empire VS the Roman Empire appeared. According to the current time, the Roman Empire should not have entered the crisis of the third century, and from there a powerful state could have sprung up for the Roman Empire to be so hard to destroy?

In the third century AD, the Roman Empire was in deep crisis. The countryside was depleted, the cities were in decline, civil wars dragged on, and the imperial government was completely paralyzed. But this time should be in 235~284 years when the slave economy collapsed.

But the current timeline is the beginning of March of the first year of Britain (March 215 A.D.).

The last economic mentor of the Roman Empire, Yukos Kral, had not yet died (in August 233 AD), and there had not yet been a full-fledged crisis of confrontation in Roman internal affairs. The crisis of the third century simply could not have erupted.

In addition, the Roman Empire at this time period still had 270,000 field troops, 400,000 city defense troops (militia), and even the navy had more than 20,000 people, and there were 30,000 elite senate guards stationed in Rome. Who would be so blind to provoke such a huge and terrifying war machine?

"It's really an inexplicable world line...... But even the world where treasures exist, and I'm too lazy to complain about others. ”

Char said.

The two of them walked through the hallway.

Passing by the garden.

Along the way, they encountered at least six groups of heavily armed heavy infantry. That's right, it's the kind of hoplites who are like iron cans all over their bodies, and they are not affected by the weight of their armor in the slightest, and it is clear that the forging technology of this era is far beyond Char's expectations.

But this is also a matter of course, in fact, just looking at Artoria's armor and the armor of the Knights of the Round Table such as Lancelot, you can basically understand that this world is obviously a world with a bit of a technology tree.

The two stopped in front of a heavily guarded gate.

Pumpcre stepped forward to negotiate, and the guards saluted respectfully when they saw that it was the Pumpcre Knight. This scene finally made up for the damage Pumpcrey had suffered before, and his pride was slightly relieved.

"Xia Yaqing, please come in, the king has been waiting inside for a long time. ”

Pump Clay said.

However, when he said this.

Char completely ignored him and the guards around him, and walked straight inside the gate.

Pump Clay had a stiff smile on his face, his back to Char's vanishing gate.

Until the last moment......

Char Du challenged the hilar vessels of the pump Clay with a disregardive attitude.

Finally, at this last critical time.

- Poof!!

"Ahh

"Doctor!!Come on!!Pump Clay Knight is dizzy!"

Outside the door came the screams of the guards.

However, this has nothing to do with Char who walked into the house.

Because the moment he entered the room, his eyes were completely attracted by the blonde figure standing in front of the window and looking out......

————————————————————————

——！？

Aking from her thoughts, Artoria slowly turned to look at Char who was standing in the doorway.

The eyes of the two met for a moment.

Because of the special induction of blood connection, both of them can feel the wonderful feeling of each other's hearts beating.

Is this called a heart sense?

"You're awake. It's faster than I thought it would be...... Xia Yaqing. ”

"Hmm. ”

Artoria left the window and walked to a table and motioned for Char to come and sit down together.

Char was not polite, and walked over directly to pull the bench and sat down. The whole action went smoothly without a trace of hesitation and hesitation. It's as if he was born to be like this, and he doesn't mean anything about seeing anything outside at all.

[Still cheeky as always.] Artoria didn't say anything, but she sighed helplessly and laughed in her heart.

There is no doubt that Artoria has quite mixed feelings for Char. Even if the other side saved his own troops, he won a war for himself that should have been extremely difficult. If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would have already been promoted to the rank of knight and become one of her most trusted right-hand men of King Arthur.

If it hadn't been for the unexpected, Artoria would have been able to face Delack with more ease and accuracy. D. Char.

“............”

Char was silent as she looked at Artoria's face. Compared to the vigorous appearance in my previous memory, it seems to be a lot more fragile and thinner.

[Is it because of my relationship?] Char thought with a slight frown.

"I'm sorry, but there's nothing left to entertain you. Artoria shook her head slightly, a little apologetic. Although it is basic common sense to entertain guests with desserts and tea, the situation in Britain is at the extreme at this moment, and the food shortage is so severe that even the royal family has been affected.

In order to encourage the people to tide over this difficult time, King Arthur personally ordered that everyone in the entire palace must save money and eliminate food waste.

Under this order, even King Arthur himself had only two meals a day, and he still ate coarse black bread and cold water.

Well...... Suddenly I understand a little bit why Artoria has her own foodie attribute in the later stage?

"No, don't mind such a trifle. It's better to say ...... I... Hmmm......"

Char suddenly stammered a little and frowned in embarrassment.

In the end, Char turned her head very coldly and arrogantly before continuing.

"Anyway...... Thank you for your generosity, if it weren't for you, I would have died by now. In short, I will repay you for this kindness, I am not the kind of third-rate villain who is not grateful after receiving benefits. ”

"Also, I'll find a replacement for your scabbard as soon as possible. I'm a jerk at times, but I hate it when I'm slowing myself down. It's just that I don't quite understand some things in this world yet, but I promise to do my best to return this Avalon scabbard to you as soon as possible. ”

Because he has always appeared in front of everyone with a superior expression, even Char would feel ashamed to suddenly say such words of thanks at this time.

Obviously, Artoria didn't expect to hear Char say this.

The bastard who was so arrogant that he wanted to be slammed to the ground and beaten up...... Would you say thank you so solemnly?!

Artoria opened her mouth in surprise with a cute look of surprise.

The morning light shining through the window completely presented Char's face as red as an apple in front of the blonde queen.

And this scene made Artoria even more frightened to pinch herself.

Hey, isn't it just an apology or even a blush?

Obviously a bastard who doesn't understand etiquette.

It's obviously a villain who makes people angry.

It's obviously an arrogant bastard who is hateful......

Clearly......

Clearly......

Obviously, you showed a little gentle expression, it turned out to be so cute.

Artoria's gaze softened, and the corners of her mouth curled up with a slight smile.

- Huh?

- What was I just thinking?!

Artoria was startled by her own thoughts, and quickly shook her head to brush the idea out of her mind. As for the extremely rare gentle side of Char that I just saw, there is absolutely no doubt that it is an illusion!

Actually, the real Char is a bastard with no one in his eyes!...... You must think so, otherwise you will be angry with him sooner or later.

That's right, absolutely!

Artoria took a deep breath and said as she regrouped her emotions.

"Hmm. Well—after all, you're in favor of Great Britain anyway, and you've agreed to join us in Britannia before, so it's only natural for me to do these things. Although I didn't expect it to cost that much. ”

Artoria said with a wry smile and shook her head.

The next second.

Artoria suddenly raised her head and looked at Char very seriously.

"But I don't regret it – even though there were many people who stopped me from doing so, some of them were the Knights of the Round Table. But they can't shake my determination to save you. Because for me...... Char's power was something that was necessary for Great Britain. If you were there, something would have changed in my country beyond my expectations. ”

"This country is already full of holes, and with my own strength, I may really become what you said before. Countries that use too much force to maintain themselves will eventually collapse under their own brute force. You're a bastard and a hot guy, but you often say things that have the same special meaning as Mentor Merlin. ”

"That's why I'll do whatever it takes to save you, because your presence is necessary for me (Great Britain). So even if it's to repay the favor or something else, please help me save Great Britain in the days to come. Please, this is the first time I've asked King Arthur to someone else. ”

In the dark room, the girl in front of her was asking herself with a serious face.

How to put it, this sudden sense of trust and dependence.

It's unpleasant.

To be honest, it doesn't matter what Great Britain becomes, and Char has nothing to do with how many people die and when they are destroyed. This is originally a troubled time, the strong survive and the weak die. Only those who adapt to this era and live desperately can truly stand last. Therefore, Great Britain is just a temporary place for Char, and sooner or later he will leave.

So here is the destruction or the collapse and the draco. D. Char has nothing to do with this man.

......... At least six days ago.

But now it's different.

Draco. D. Char admits that he owes Artoria something very important and precious that cannot be copied once. That's his own life!

But even to Draco. D. Char has the grace of saving her life, Artoria still maintains her noble chivalry, and would rather ask for it than hold Char hostage with kindness...... Artoria was too holy in this respect.

And if you ask why you ask Char in the way of asking for help, instead of asking for it as a matter of course for the benefactor who saved her life.

Then Artoria would have replied, "It would be despicable to do that!"

In other words, Char had completely imagined Artoria's expression when she said this.

What a memorable and holy countenance......

"Whew, I see. Char took a deep breath. Raised his head sharply and looked directly at Artoria.

Then I swear to you by my own name that I will absolutely turn Great Britain into a megacity that you have never heard of and never seen. Just keep your eyes open and watch King Arthur, and one day you will be grateful for the decision you made today. Because, it brings you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

Artoria said, "Well, I believe you Char. However, it is very difficult to complete the process. On this path, there will be enemies beyond your imagination to oppose you. And not only on the outside of the country, but even on the inside, there are a large number of enemies. And it's a great pity...... There's nothing I can do about them right now. ”

"Hmph, if you can solve it all, there's no need for me to show up. Char raised his head arrogantly, and at this moment he once again changed back into the arrogant Draco who had no one in his eyes. D. Char. "What you're talking about are the nobles who always hold you back, make it difficult for you to make government decrees, and have orders that can't be done, right? But before I can do that, I need more information about the country. ”

"Whew, it's the same as Lancelot said. Everything you need has been prepared in this room, specially prepared by Lancelot and Bedwell Qing, and will surely familiarize you with everything inside the country in the shortest possible time. ”

Artoria leaned slightly to the side, then pointed to the mountain of papers on the table beside her.

"Oh, that's so well prepared. Char smiled and looked at Artoria and said.

"That's because Lancelot and Beywell basically understand Char's habits. If you are asked to do something without any preparation or intelligence, you will definitely not be able to raise your head, right?" Artoria said, rolling her eyes.

"Hey, hey, I'm right to teach a bunch of idiots who don't know how to plan for a rainy day, they should thank me. ...... Don't ask me what I mean to plan ahead, I'm too lazy to explain!"

Looking at Artoria's confused eyes, Char decisively cut off the other party's thoughts in advance.

"Anyway, you can stay here and study hard for the next few days. I'm going to hold a meeting of nobles later, and it will take a long time because it's a serious meeting. I won't let anyone bother you until this meeting is over. ”

After Artoria finished speaking, she wanted to arrange for soldiers to block the area, but Char waved her hand to stop her.

"There's no need for that. Let me know how long the meeting will be. ”

"Uh...... Thirty minutes later. ”

"Enough. ”

"Huh?"

Artoria watched as Char strode to the desk, then picked up a piece of parchment, opened it, read it all in three or two clicks, and then threw it away and picked up another one.

There are about 300 pieces of information, and Char read them all in seven minutes and memorizes them in the Times Library.

Calculate the time.

Char turned his head and said to Artoria, who was already dazed.

"Hmm...... I've written it all down, so what are we going to do for the remaining twenty-three minutes?"

............................................................................................................
