Chapter 469: Riege's Intentions

  "Huh!"

  On the endless grassland, a small sun suddenly appeared without warning, and suddenly broke into this pleasant scenery, destroying the tranquility of the place.

  "Whew-"

  With a soft, powerful exhale, the flames that formed the sun faded, revealing a swordsman.

  "Click......

  The swordsman first withdrew the unsheathed black knife into the scabbard, and then put down the girl who was holding it in his arms and had not yet reacted.

  "It should be okay here, right?" The astonishing momentum on Li Ge's body disappeared, as if he had returned from the transcendent to the ordinary, and said, "Even if you return to Yaling, it is unlikely that you will find this place immediately without knowing where we are. ”

  As he spoke, Rig looked at Artoria, who had been put down by himself, and asked.

  "So, are you alright?"

  This question did not come with an immediate answer.

  I saw that Artoria was still there staring at Rig blankly, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

  "What's wrong?" Rig frowned, raised his hand, shook it in front of Artoria, and said, "Isn't it because I'm scared stupid?" ”

  “…… You're just scared stupid. Artoria finally came back to her senses, and while looking at Rig with complicated eyes, she said, "Are we escaping now?" ”

  "Pretty much." Rig always felt that Artoria's attitude was a little strange, but because he couldn't see anything, he had to say: "Although I still want to try that puppy's ability again, since things have developed to this point, it is not unacceptable to retreat temporarily." ”

  Hearing this, Artoria's eyes became more complicated as she looked at Rige.

  "It's my fault." The fairy girl said with some depression: "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have given up the good situation and chose to retreat." ”

  In the battle just now, Rieg had obviously gained the upper hand, and if he continued to fight, he might really win.

  To be able to defeat the patriarch of the Tooth Clan, and defeat the strongest warrior who is praised as a brave man by the goblins of the Fairy Country, this is an extremely brilliant achievement and honor.

  But because of himself, Rig had to give up the battle and choose to retreat, a fact that really made Artoria a little frustrated.

  However, Rieger did not think so.

  "It was I who brought you into that battlefield, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have encountered such danger, in that case, it is a matter of course that I will be responsible for your personal safety." Li Ge was very calm, not arrogant and impatient: "Besides, do you really think that if you continue to fight like that, it will be me who wins?" ”

  Hearing this, Artoria became confused.

  "Isn't it?"

  Artoria was sure that she was not mistaken, and in the battle just now, Rig had the upper hand.

  As long as he kept Woodworth suppressed like that, and when Woodworth couldn't defend himself, Rig would be able to win the victory and defeat the head of the Tooth Clan.

  Artoria was naïve to think like this.

  "Although I temporarily suppressed that puppy by continuously using the twelve sword forms of the Breath of the Sun, even if I continued to suppress it like that, I would not be able to achieve the final victory."

  Rige shook his head and told Artoria so.

  "No matter how many times I cut him, how many times I slashed him, the layer of protection on his body was always intact and unshaken."

  "In other words, I didn't hurt him from beginning to end, let alone break through his defenses."

  "His kind of defense is not a skill, but an inexplicable mysterious power, which has always existed, in this case, unless I find the right way, I will at most be tied with that puppy, and I will definitely not win if I win."

  Otherwise, Rig would not have chosen to retreat.

  Although he liked the tense and exciting scenes, he couldn't break through the opponent's turtle shell, which was a bit tired of fighting, and Artoria was really not suitable to stay there at that time, so Rig simply retreated with his people.

  He's pretty much sure.

  "If I want to win against that puppy, I'll have to find a way to break that layer of protection on his body." Li Ge said: "Otherwise, even if you meet again next time, the result will still be indistinguishable." ”

  Artoria nodded as if she didn't understand.

  "Maybe it's a big goblin-level protection, right?" Artoria said to Rige, "Elves are creatures born with mysteries, and sometimes they will give others protection and give them certain special abilities. ”

  Rig nodded.

  Fairy protection is not something unusual, at least in this world.

  If nothing else, let's talk about King Arthur in British legends, the invincible knight king has the protection of the lake spirits and can walk freely on the water.

  Artoria also has a special protection that she holds as a Paradise Fairy, a guardian power that can bless life and protect the fate of the object from all kinds of filth.

  Just now, the reason why this stupid goblin girl was able not to be affected by Riege's time magic may be because of this kind of protection.

  Woodworth, as a Huiya bell, will have some kind of great goblin-level power on his body, which is a normal thing.

  "In the original book, that layer of protection seems to have withstood even the full force of the Holy Spear, right?"

  Rieger thought silently.

  "In the end, how did that layer of protection get broken?"

  It seems to be poked casually by a goblin with a special identity, and the result is punctured, right?

  In other words, in the original book, the layer of protection on Woodworth's body was very inexplicably broken.

  "How do I break through that layer of protection?"

  Rig couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and only after a moment was awakened by Artoria.

  "Although you can't win, it's a great thing that you can fight that Woodworth!" Artoria seemed to regain her strength, and smiled happily, "Maybe you can still suppress that Lancelot!" ”

  "Lancelot?" Li Ge narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he thought, and suddenly smiled, and said, "I'll try it when I have the chance." ”

  "Yes, yes?" Artoria was suddenly overwhelmed.

  As soon as I said that, you still had the idea to try it?

  Is he really a battle maniac?

  "Don't talk about that puppy, I'll take my time to figure out how to take care of him." Rig glanced around and said, "Now, let's think about what we're going to do next." ”

  Artoria smiled slightly, and looked around as well.

  What came into view was the endless prairie, and there was nothing but the grassland.

  "Where is this?"

  Artoria spoke out blankly.

  "I don't know." Li Ge said irresponsibly: "I just teleported in one direction several times, and as for where we were teleported, I don't know at all. ”

  Rather, even if it were clear, Rieg might not be able to tell the difference.

  When he first arrived, he didn't know the terrain of the fairy country, the location of the city, and how the country was distributed.

  "I can only tell you that Tintagel should be in this direction."

  Rieg pointed to one side of the steppe and told Artoria.

  "Tintagel ......"

  Artoria looked in that direction, as if she had seen the village where she had grown up, and her mood had plummeted.

  Seeing this, Rig knew that Artoria was reminded of the stupid cannibalism that took place in Tintager.

  "I said, don't you think that the village will become like that, and it is all your own fault?"

  Although he thought it was unlikely, the thought that this woman still had a certain degree of attachment to that kind of village, Rieg couldn't help but ask the question.

  If Artoria really thinks so, then Rige can only say that she is no longer a bad person, but a real virgin.

  Thankfully, Artoria wasn't there yet.

  "I'm just thinking, why can people who have lived together for so many years be able to kill when they say kill?"

  Artoria looked confused again.

  To be honest, Artoria looked confused, and compared to Liz, it was really similar.

  So, Li Ge also unconsciously reached out and touched her head.

  "I said, this is a goblin." Li Ge said lightly: "The thinking of goblins is incomprehensible to normal people. ”

  "You mean, I'm a normal person like you?" Artoria said bitterly, "Obviously, I'm also a goblin." ”

  "Who knows if you Paradise goblins are thinking the same as the goblins in this goblin country?" Rige narrowed his eyes and said, "However, as far as I know, you and another goblin from Paradise do think differently than the goblins in this country. ”

  This sentence made Artoria's eyes widen.

"Another elf from Paradise?" Artoria looked at Rig with a stunned expression and said, "Apart from me, are there any other elves from Paradise?" ”

  It's a very impactful thing.

  To this, Rieger can only say.

  "If you want to ask me if I have it, then I can only answer you, yes." "As for who she is, you'll find out later, and telling you now will only make you feel more confused." ”

  Saying this, Rieg directly changed his words.

  "Let's get back to the original topic." Rig looked at Artoria and said, "What are you going to do next?" ”

  "Do you want to go where you want?"

  "Or do you want to go on a pilgrimage tour as planned?"

  This question, if she could, Artoria really didn't want to think about it.

  Because, she has begun to understand what she should do.

  “…… I used to think that when I was 16 years old, I would leave the village and go on a pilgrimage tour. Artoria whispered, "Now that I've finally left the village, I don't know if I'm going to go on a pilgrimage or not." ”

  In the past, Artoria would want to go on a pilgrimage tour, not because she wanted to save Britain and save the fairy kingdom, but because everyone around her was looking forward to it.

  Everyone wanted her to go on a pilgrimage tour.

  Everyone wanted her to ring the bell of the six pilgrimages as the child of prophecy.

  So, Artoria complied, and that's it.

  But now, those who wanted her to embark on the pilgrimage have disappeared with the burning Tintajel, so is it necessary for her to ring the bell of the pilgrimage?

  Artoria really couldn't figure it out.

  In such a situation, Rieger suddenly said this.

  "If you really don't have a plan, why don't you try ringing those parade bells?"

  When the words came out of Rige's mouth, Artoria froze.

  "Why?" Artoria was extremely surprised: "Didn't you say that the goblins of the fairy country are not worth saving? ”

  "That's right." Rig did not change his statement, but said, "However, ringing the bell of the pilgrimage and saving the fairy country of Britain are two different things. ”

  Rieger, who is familiar with the original book, naturally knows what that parade bell is.

  "Ringing the bell of the pilgrimage is actually a ritual to liberate your power as a fairy in Paradise."

  Rige's words made Artoria hold her breath.

  "Liberation...... ...... the power of the fairies in Paradise? ”

  Artoria muttered.

  "That's right." Rig nodded, and said, "You weren't born with amazing strength like other goblins, but like humans, you can get stronger with age and exercise. ”

  "But that doesn't mean you can only improve your strength through exercise."

  "If you can ring the bell of the pilgrimage, then you can gradually liberate the power of the fairy of Paradise."

  "Therefore, the parade bell is actually a prop used to make you stronger, and the more you ring the bell, the stronger it becomes."

  Rige told Artoria about it.

  "How can there be such a thing?" Artoria had a feeling that her perception had been turned upside down, and when she came back to her senses, she looked at Rig in disbelief and said, "How did you know these things?" ”

  Speaking of which, the human being in front of him with a mysterious origin has also shown his secret side several times like this before, right?

  Does he know a lot?

  He seems to know all about the fairy of paradise, the bell of the pilgrimage, the pilgrimage journey, the child of prophecy, the savior, and so on?

  Why is that?

  Artoria subconsciously stared at Rige, and the vision in her eyes was reversed.

  However, at the moment of being stared at by Artoria, Rig did not hesitate to make a move.

  That is, flick her forehead.

  "Smack!"

  The flexed fingers flicked heavily on Artoria's smooth forehead, and the girl screamed in pain.

  "You, you're almost ruined by those eyes, but when you have questions, you like to stare at others with those eyes, isn't that a good habit?"

  Rig rolled his eyes at Artoria, causing Artoria to cover her forehead and glaring at Rig with tears in the corners of her eyes.

  Ignoring the fairy girl's silent accusations, Rig pursed his lips and said so.

  "Actually, like you, I'm not born in the fairy kingdom of Britain, but from somewhere else."

  As soon as these words came out, Artoria gasped.

  "You—You're not born in the Fairy Country?"

  Artoria was really surprised this time.

  "Yes." Li Ge nodded calmly and said, "So I know a lot of things about this country, I also know a lot of things about you, and I know a lot of dirty things about goblins." ”

  "Of course, you know, but I'm not here for that."

  "My arrival has nothing to do with your mission, your identity, and even more so with this country, it's just a trip that happened by chance."

  "You don't have to worry that I have ulterior motives, my encounter with you and everything that is happening so far is really an accidental and natural development."

  In these words, Rieger left a lot of suspense.

  But it doesn't matter.

  The important thing is that Artoria can see that this is not a lie.

  "Need I tell you more?"

  Looking at Artoria's eyes, which were gradually becoming complex but brightening, Rig smiled slightly and said so.

  “…… No, not anymore. ”

  Artoria stroked her forehead and laughed after a moment.

  "That's all you need to know."

  That's right, it's enough to know that.

  "Okay." Li Ge nodded and said, "Maybe you're still a little confused and don't know what to do, it's not surprising. ”

  "However, no matter what you want to do in the future, find a way to improve your strength first, and there will definitely be nothing wrong with that."

  "Whether you want to save the fairy kingdom and defeat the queen in the future, or you don't want to do anything, you just want to live and not be affected by the identity of the son of prophecy, you need to have the strength to guarantee it."

  "Without power, even if you don't do anything, you may be attacked by someone sent by the queen in the future, such as Woodworth."

  In this way, Rig spoke his thoughts to Artoria.

  "I think you can ring the bell or two to give yourself a certain level of strength and a certain level of understanding of the country before you decide what to do in the future."

  "Of course, this is my idea, just a suggestion."

  "What you want to do is ultimately up to you."

  After saying that, Rieg said no more.

  “…………”

  Artoria also fell into deep thought and stopped talking.

  Both of them fell silent, standing facing each other, but their eyes were not on each other.

  It was a long time before Artoria asked Rige.

  "What about you?" Artoria looked directly at Rig and said, "What are you going to do next?" ”

  Rige blinked and smiled.

  "My words, as long as someone can fight me, I will be satisfied."

  With that, Rig raised his eyes and looked to the other side of the horizon.

  "If I could, I'd like to take a trip to Camelot, to meet the queen, to meet the fairy knights."
