There will be a queen, there will be a fairy knight.

Despite all these rhetoric, it is clear that Rig will not be able to go to Camelot now.

Again, he is a newcomer, and he hasn't even figured out the terrain of the fairy country of Britain, even if he wants to use the [Portal] to go to Camelot, he can't do it, and now it's dark again, and Artoria next to him is a country goblin, and his understanding of the outside is limited, so Li Ge can only make a plan for the time being.

"Rest for the night, and then go to the nearest city tomorrow to recharge a little."

Unlike the elves who don't need to eat, Rig still has to resupply, although this problem can be solved with magic, but he also wants to know the terrain of the elf country Britain, and it is better to have a map, otherwise there will be problems with the connected actions.

Therefore, first find a nearby city and get the supplies and information you want there, which has become the first important goal.

In this regard, Artoria not only had no opinion, but even said it on the spot. "I'm with you, too!"

Obviously, this fairy girl is a bit of a dependent, at least for now, she definitely won't want to go it alone.

"Then let's rest here for the night."

After making his decision, Rig found a clearing without rocks and other shelters, and cast his magic here.

"Creation Fortress."

When the spell was activated, the ground shook. "Boom, ......!"

With a loud roar and a tremor, a massive tower rose from the ground.

It was a thick double door with countless spikes on the walls, and at the top there was a statue of a demon in all directions, at least thirty meters high, like a fortress, and like a towering tree.

"Ala alas, alas——!?"

Looking at the towering tower that suddenly rose from the ground in front of her, Artoria was directly frightened and let out an uncontrollable scream.

"W-What is this.....!?"

The legendary savior cried out so rudely that he almost deafened the ears of the perpetrators on the side.

"What's the name of the ghost?" Rieg said dissatisfiedly, "Isn't it just a magic trick? As for that?"

But hearing Rige's words, Artoria not only did not let go, but became incoherent.

"Magic? You call it magic?" Artoria exclaimed, "I never knew there was such magic!"

In this world, magic and magic are two completely different concepts.

Magic refers to phenomena that transcend common sense, and are supernatural forces that artificially reproduce miracles.

In short, this is the magic of this world, the mystery of learning, cultivating, exercising, and improving.

However, there is also a concept of magic in this world, and it is distinguished from magic.

Although magic is also a supernatural force, in this world, if a phenomenon can be achieved through technological means, it will only be called magic, not magic.

Take the magic mastered by Rig as an example, the [Fireball] he uses more often is the third-level range attack magic, but in the end, it is a large-scale activation within a certain range

Flame to scorch the power of things.

The same thing can be done with the technology mastered by humans, right?

In this case, the Fireball used by Rigor would be considered magic rather than magic in this world.

On the other hand, those phenomena that are impossible to achieve with science and technology are called magic in this world.

For example, [Time Stop], a magic that can stop the flow of time in the world, is currently impossible to do the same thing with human science and technology.

Therefore, [Time Stop] can be called magic in this world, because it is a phenomenon that cannot be achieved by science and technology for the time being.

When a phenomenon can be achieved with certainty with the cost of time and money, no matter how difficult the means to achieve it, the supernatural forces that can cause the same phenomenon are not considered magic, but only magic.

This supernatural power becomes magic only if human civilization is unable to achieve this phenomenon in any way.

Therefore, with the progress of science and technology, the number of things that can be done with human hands has become more and more, and the amount of magic has become smaller and smaller, resulting in the extremely rare amount of magic still remaining in this era, which can be counted with one hand.

With this in mind, Rige called the magic he used magic, so that Artoria could quickly understand.

By the way, in this world, people who use magic are often called magicians, and people who use magic are often called magicians.

Thanks to this, Rieg can't claim to be a magician in this world, either he calls himself a magician or a magician, which is the easiest thing to understand.

However, it was clear that Rig was already so apt, and Artoria still looked frightened.

No way.

Artoria had never heard of the magic of creating a giant tower with a gesture.

Elves born with mysteries may be able to do it on their own, but please forgive Artoria for being a fledgling country goblin who has seen magic on this scale.

If Artoria was just a goblin, then the problem was that she practiced magic herself.

As a fairy born different, Artoria was able to become stronger by training herself from an early age and practicing magic under the guidance of "good Samaritans".

As a result, Artoria is also capable of magic.

It was because of her ability to use magic that Artoria felt how surprising what Rige was doing now.

It's a pity that Li Ge couldn't understand this feeling.

"Don't worry, you can do what I can't do in the future, and you may have to surprise me then."

Rieg said something disapprehantly. "Let's go, let's go inside."

With that, Rig took the lead and walked in the direction of the giant tower. "I ......"

Seeing this, Artoria stood still for a long time, and then followed Rig to the tower.

[Creation Fortress], as the name suggests, is the magic used to create fortress structures, which is the same as magic such as [High-level Item Creation], and belongs to creation magic.

This magic is ranked 10th and once used, it will create a large, thick tower in a suitable location chosen by the caster, which can be used as a rest or as a stronghold to defend against enemy attacks.

Since this tower is called a fortress, its defense is naturally extremely high, and even if it uses the attack magic of the same tenth rank to bomb it repeatedly, it can indeed withstand it for a while.

In YGGDRASIL, some players have even tried to attack this kind of fortress with super magic, and it turns out that it is impossible to break this kind of fortress with a single attack type of super magic, except for super magic used to destroy buildings.

Because of this, many players like to use this magic to make a temporary stronghold when they are in the wild, but if you want to maintain this fortress, you must consume mana all the time.

Rig used it without hesitation.

He had already experimented with it, and the magic used to maintain the fortress could be replenished in an instant by the automatic recovery of "Essence Healing".

In other words, even if the fortress is maintained, Rige's mana will not be consumed, and it will be restored immediately in the moment it is consumed.

Since this is the case, Li Ge naturally has no scruples, and can use it however he wants. "Rumble......

The tower's steel doors opened automatically as Rig approached

to expose the inner workings to Rige and Artoria's eyes.

When you enter the tower through the main gate, the first thing that catches your eye is a spacious lobby.

There is also a double door on the opposite side of the hall, and after entering, there is a passage, and at the end of the passage there is a double door, surrounded by magic lights of [Sustainable Light], which makes people walk very smoothly.

As soon as the door at the end of the passage opened, a dazzling light shone out from behind the door, striking Rige and Artoria.

Rig and Artoria walked in together and came to a circular hall.

With white floors, high ceilings, and a spiral staircase leading to the upper floors in the center, the interior is clearly expanded to be much more spacious than what can be seen from the outside.

"I—Shall we rest here tonight?"

Looking at this ultra-luxurious hall like an aristocratic mansion, Artoria stammered.

There are also all kinds of furniture in the hall, there are sofas, tables and chairs, and even a tea cart, not to mention, it does look like a noble mansion.

Especially on the upper floor, which leads to the spiral staircase, even from Artoria's vantage point, you can see the suite-like doors of a high-end hotel, and you can easily think of what a luxurious room is behind this door.

"That's right, we'll rest here tonight." Rieger pointed to the rooms and said, "You can pick any of them."

Hearing this, Artoria subconsciously retreated.

"No, no, no, no! I don't live there!" Artoria shook her head frantically and shouted, "I can't get used to that kind of place!"

When Artoria said this, Rige also saw the problem.

No matter how extraordinary Artoria's background is, she has not had a very good life in the sixteen years of her life before that.

She lived in a stable, and she was treated like a horse, and the goblins in Tintagerli only kept her as a horse, so how could she have lived in such a good place?

For Artoria like this, if there was a place where she didn't feel cold in the winter, and didn't lose two of her toes from freezing in the past, then that place would be good.

Now, Rieger had let her live in such a luxurious place, and as a country goblin whose treatment and living conditions were worse than humans, Artoria would be terrified, and that was a given.

"I'll just find a corner here!" Artoria asserted, "This place, for example, is good!"

Artoria trotted straight into the shadows of the hall, nesting in the corner and not moving. That looks like a social phobia, and even more like an autistic person. ...... Are you sure you want to stay in a place like this?"

Rieger's face was strange.

"Sure!" Artoria nodded vigorously and said, "Compared to where I used to live, even this kind of corner is heaven!"

Because of the emotional relationship, Artoria even exposed her unknown life treatment.

In normal times, Artoria would not say this kind of thing casually.

Rieg wanted to give Artoria a few words of advice, but looking at Artoria's sincere and frightened look, Rig knew that no matter how much he said, it might be useless.

This has suddenly increased from living in stables and dungeons to living in luxury houses and presidential suites, which is uncomfortable for everyone.

"Let's give her a process of adaptation." Rig thought about it and finally decided.

"Since you don't live in a room, then I won't live either." Rig got to the couch, sat down, and said, "I'll sleep on the couch tonight."

"How's that going to work?" Artoria was stunned, and hurriedly said, "This is your place, you should live in a room!"

"The truth is that the guests can sleep in the corner of the hall, and I, the host, go to the comfortable bed, sorry, I can't."

Rig shrugged at Artoria and said, "Unless you go into the room too."

"I can't do that!" Artoria was about to cry, and said aggrievedly, "Let a country goblin like me live in such a luxurious room, I will definitely not be able to sleep tonight!"

"Then don't stop me." Li Ge couldn't help but say, "If you stop me again, I'll go to the corner like you?"

Artoria, who could see that this was Rieger's sincere words, was suddenly unable to say a word.

"Alright, let's sleep." Rig smiled at Artoria and said, "With so much going on today, even if you are energetic, you must be tired, right?"

"Sleep."

"When you wake up, it's all over."

Leaving such words, Rig lay down first, slept on the couch, and closed his eyes. "That...... You're not going to ...... room?"

Artoria spoke weakly in the corner, as if trying to persuade Rig to go to the room.

Unfortunately, Rig didn't say a word, as if he had fallen asleep, and the rhythm of his breathing and chest heaving became even.

Artoria looked at Rig for a while, and she didn't give up until she was sure that Rig had really fallen asleep, not pretending to be asleep.

"What a weirdo......

With this evaluation, Artoria sat down in the corner as if she had lost her strength.

The floor is not cold at all, and the wall against it also has a faint feeling of warmth, which makes people wonder if there is some kind of magic on the floor and walls here to make it so warm.

Feeling the warmth that she had never felt in her place before, Artoria's heart gradually relaxed.

This relaxation, all kinds of things that happened today came to her mind. He was put in a dungeon and rescued.

Got to know Rieger and said goodbye to Eckert.

Tintagel in flames....... Villagers in cannibalism...... Woodworth's Death Squad...... Rieger's fierce battle with Woodworth...... Sneak attack of the Tooth Clan goblins....... Riger's Salvation.........

This sub-picture, scene after scene, kept coming to Artoria's mind.

"Alas......

Artoria, who was in a very complicated mood and couldn't tell whether it was sad or sad, let out a long sigh.

"Son of Prophecy..... Is it?"

Artoria laughed at herself as she looked at herself in the corner. "Not really."

With that, Artoria closed her eyes.

Maybe it's because there are really too many things to experience today, and Artoria, whose head is full of distractions, soon feels a sense of sleepiness.

It didn't take long for Artoria to fall asleep. 「

Wind. Very turbulent winds.

It's not the gentle breeze, it's not the comfortable spring breeze, it's a storm that seems to blow people away and crush their consciousness.

Artoria, who came to her senses, found that at this very moment, she was in this storm-like storm, shivering and bruised all over her body.

This is something that Artoria is all too familiar with...... A storm of malice! "It's the same again......

Artoria, who was in the midst of the storm, made a small sound. That seems to be crying.

It seemed to be a moan.

The familiar storm of malice appeared in her sleep, tormenting her, crushing her, and making her almost scream.

But it's also commonplace.

"The world is a storm of malice." This has always been Artoria's knowledge.

Every time the malice of others attacked her, she would be like this, seeing a terrible storm and being mentally tormented.

Countless times to think

Crying, but holding back. I wanted to shout countless times, but I stopped.

Because, Artoria knew that she had to endure it.

Otherwise, in this malicious world, you will definitely collapse. Endure!

Endure! Endure!

The little fairy girl was walking in the storm, and she desperately told herself. Until, a ray of light appeared in the storm.

「..... Is that?"

Artoria stared blankly at the source of the light. It was a small sun.

The sun shines through the storm, banishing darkness and purifying malice, so that this terrible storm cannot come close to it.

The moment Artoria reacted, she ran towards the radiant sun.

Before you know it, the pain is gone. Before you know it, the storm is gone.

The fairy girl wept with joy and stretched out her hand towards that round of tomorrow.

This night, the girl had the happiest sleep in her sixteen years of life.
