474 "Ash no Chapel"

As Artoria had previously said, Salisbury had no features other than the Great Church, but it did have everything, and there was no shortage of everything.

There are a wide variety of goods, a variety of buildings, beautiful scenery, and leisure places, such as fountains, streams, gazebos, gardens and other facilities, so that every goblin who comes here feels like they are on vacation, and people come and go with smiling faces at the same time, and you can see that the happiness index is not low at a glance.

In such a city, Rig and Artoria are just two insignificant individuals in the crowd, and nothing can attract the attention of others.

At least, Rige and Artoria, who had disguised themselves with illusions, were like this, and no one was able to detect their anomalies or cast their eyes on them.

The two of them were like the most ordinary tourists, wandering around the city without doing anything conspicuous.

The most conspicuous thing that the two of them have done is probably only to buy and buy here, right?

"The map of all Britain is enough for the two of them to eat food and water for a month, a change of clothes and toiletries, and some handy tools that may be used on the road, all of which have been purchased, right?"

Walking down the casual street, Rig asked Artoria, who was walking next to him, while confirming the materials that he had put into the storage space of the dimensional Rubik's Cube.

"I've already bought them." Artoria cowered a little, and even said cautiously, "Isn't it a little unnecessary to buy my share as well?"

No wonder Artoria would say that.

She was a goblin, not a human, so she didn't need to eat, but Rig bought food for two, which was undoubtedly a waste of money in Artoria's opinion, not to mention that Rig bought a whole month's worth of food as soon as he bought it.

In addition, Rig also bought Artoria clothes, which were far from the village girl clothes he was wearing now, although they were not a very flashy type, but for a country elf, they were already very luxurious.

In addition, Rig even bought all the toiletries for Artoria, which made Artoria, who had not paid once from beginning to end, feel very embarrassed.

Of course, Artoria was more shocked by Rige's trench than embarrassed.

After all, the act of throwing gold directly no matter what you buy is really too impactful for a village girl.

Rig smiled.

"It's definitely right to buy it first, but who knows if you'll need it later, and if you'll have the opportunity to shop like this in the future?" Li Geman said as if he didn't care, "You don't have to think so much, gold is not a very valuable thing in my place, I was still worried that the fairy country Britain can't trade gold, but fortunately, the goblins also like gold and silver treasures, so we can buy it so smoothly."

"But......" Artoria still looked a little unacceptable.

"Treat it as if you picked it up." Rig said to Artoria like this, "Didn't the goblins of Tintagerri take away the treasure from you in the first place?"

Artoria suddenly stopped talking.

Rig didn't say anything more to Artoria, but raised his eyes and looked ahead.

There, a magnificent building sits and exudes a serious atmosphere that is different from the surrounding buildings.

"That's the Great Sanctuary, right?"

Rieg spoke as if he were talking to himself.

「.….… That's right."

Artoria, like Rige, set her sights on the church-like grandeur in a surprisingly complex tone.

"That's Salisbury's heart and bell, the oldest megastructure in the Elven Kingdom of Britain--- the Great Sanctuary of Ash."

--- "Ash".

It's a name that means a lot to Artoria and all the elves in Britain.

In the distant past, thousands of years ago, there was another rescue in the fairy kingdom of Britain

Lord of the World.

He has uprooted many calamities and saved many goblins.

He has stopped wars and created peace.

Like Artoria, who holds the Chosen Staff, he is a fairy from Paradise and possesses a "gun" with the same nature as the Chosen Staff, making many contributions to the future fairy kingdom of Britain.

In honor of this savior, the Fairy Kingdom of Britain. The first mega-building to be built, the Great Cathedral of Salisbury, was named after the Savior, known as the Great Church.

As for the bell hall in Artoria's mouth, as the name suggests, it is a temple where the "bell" is stored.

"Bell" refers to the bell of the pilgrimage.

The five pilgrimage bells, which still have a definite whereabouts, are located in Salisbury, Gloucester, Norwich, Oxford and Orkney's bell halls.

Salisbury's Chapel doubles as a bell hall, with the Celestial Bell at the top of it housed the Celestial Clan's pilgrimage bell.

The Savior of the previous generation and the Bell of the Pilgrimage, when both of these beings were associated with the Great Sanctuary, it was no wonder that Artoria's tone had become so complicated.

"Clairvoyance."

Rig secretly unleashed his magic.

This is a sensory enhancement magic that allows you to leap your eyesight and see the scenery in the distance.

With the effect of this magic, Riege's eyes seemed to be looking into the distance through the lenses of a telescope, and his vision suddenly leaped forward.

After a while, Rig saw the door of the Great Chapel.

There were soldiers in armor and spears in hand.

"Human?"

Rieger saw the identities of the soldiers.

That's right, they're not goblins, they're humans.

Salisbury is the only city in the Elven Kingdom of Britain where humans have the right to independence, and the humans who live here do not have to be loyal to any elves, but only obey the head of the Wind Clan.

The head of the Wind Clan also co-opted humans in Salisbury to form a predominantly human guard.

Unfortunately, this does not mean that there are no more humans in the city who exist as slaves.

The only people who can get self are the humans who live in this Salisbury.

And the mastered humans brought by other goblins from other places naturally did not have such good treatment.

"Hurry up! You lowly human! 「

At this moment, a fairy, dressed in a more beautiful way, passed by Rige and Artoria, cursing the humans around him as he walked.

"It's not good to ask you to help move something, walking so slowly is a waste of my time!"

"Hurry up! And hold it firm! If you dare to break something, I'll send you to Oxford!" 「

"What a useless fellow!"

Humans who are so scolded and scolded can only carry their luggage that is too heavy compared to their own in fear, and at the same time sweating profusely trying to keep up with their master's pace, and they are so tired that they are panting.

「.........」

Lige, who had canceled the use of [clairvoyance], watched this scene silently, with an expressionless face.

"Rige?" Artoria had already sorted out her mood at this time, looked at the expressionless Rieger, and then looked at the scene that was being watched by Rieger, as if she understood something, and whispered, "Aren't you used to seeing it?"

「…… I don't count." Li Ge was silent for a while, and then said lightly, "If it's just this kind of scene, I've seen a lot."

There is still slavery in the Akaxia continent, and the world of the King of the Immortals is not a world that attaches great importance to human rights, so Li Ge has seen a lot of similar scenes.

But whether it is the Akaxia continent or the world of the King of the Undead, although there are slaves, they are not all.

On the other hand, this goblin country of Britain is not a slave

Humans are in the minority, and humans who are considered slaves occupy nine out of nine.

This kind of treatment in which almost an entire race was reduced to a slave group, not even by Rige, had never been seen before.

Thanks to this, Riege, who remembered many of the human treatment in the original book, unconsciously let his voice become cold.

"If you're dominated by goblins like this, you might as well not have a human race in the first place."

Artoria smiled bitterly at Rige's remarks.

"The elves won't allow humanity to perish, right?" Artoria said, "If there were no humans, there would be no Fairy Country."

Why?

The reason is simple.

"The goblin is the spirit of the planet, not only longevity, but also the vitality is particularly tenacious, no need to eat, let alone consume any resources to survive, as long as the name is not lost, the will is not lost, and the value of its own existence is not lost, then the goblin can survive forever."

"In other words, goblins don't need to be enjoyed, they don't need entertainment, they don't need to work hard to survive."

"They are omnipotent, but they don't deliberately work hard and grow, so no matter where they go, the goblins don't have a civilization of their own."

Artoria looked around at the beautiful buildings around her.

"The reason why such goblins can build such a city and get so much entertainment is because of humans."

"Although human beings are full of weaknesses, short lives, do not heal their wounds, need to eat, and die immediately if attacked, it is precisely because of this that human beings have almost exhausted all means to survive and thrive."

"In order to fill their stomachs, human beings will farm and go to the fields, and they will gradually accumulate a wealth of agricultural knowledge and grow a lot of food."

"In order to keep out the rain, to keep out the storms, they build houses, they build buildings, and finally they study aesthetics."

"Therefore, human beings can create a prosperous civilization, and they can create a lot of entertainment, which can satisfy both physical and spiritual needs."

"Elves don't need to meet physical needs, but they want entertainment and have spiritual needs."

"That's why humanity was able to survive in this country."

In a word, goblins are a group of creatures that have nothing but strength, but they have a heart that wants to relieve boredom and want to frolic in the world.

They don't have a lot of entertainment, they can't make any decent entertainment, so they need humans who can make these things.

Fairies raise humans for the purpose of entertaining themselves.

Whether it's torturing them, listening to their screams to please themselves, or nurturing them to make things interesting, the goblins' attitude toward humans is the same, if it may be different.

For the elves, humans are just hobbies to pass the time of boredom, if not slaves, but rather than equal beings.

For this reason, the queen controlled the human race, even the number of people had to be controlled, and distributed to various cities according to a certain proportion, which was undoubtedly an act of distributing materials.

The cities in the Fairy Kingdom of Britain may not have been created by human hands, but they must have used human imagination and creativity.

Every building here, including Salisbury, is imbued with the style of human society, and it is needless to wonder how the elves oppressed humans to come up with the design of these buildings.

That's what humans do in this world.

This is the position of human beings in this world.

It can be something interesting.

Can be the object of violence.

It can be a toy to play with.

It can also be a tool to be used.

It can even be a nutrient for eating.

"Salisbury's side is already good, at least the Wind Clan Leader has given the humans independence." Artoria low

He said to Rige, "If it were a human from another city, the treatment would not be so good."

In Gloucester, for example, humans are commodities that can be sold or even auctioned.

For example, in Oxford, a part of the human body is a substance that can be put on the table and eaten by others.

Naturally, Lige, who knows the original work, will not be unaware of such a thing.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that.

"Sure enough, goblins aren't worth saving."

Throwing down such an indifferent comment, Rieg turned and left.

Artoria hurried to follow.

"Don't mess around, Rige." Artoria observed Rige's face and cautiously advised, "I can understand your feelings, but even if you make a big fuss here, the treatment of human beings will not change."

"I know." Rieger's tone was still indifferent, and he said, "I didn't want to make a big fuss."

"At least, not yet."

Leaving behind these unsettling words, Rieg moved on.

Artoria followed silently.

But as she followed, Artoria suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

"The ......," Artoria said weakly, "isn't that the direction to the Great Sanctuary?"

Artoria began to feel a sense of foreboding.

"This is the direction to the Great Sanctuary."

Rieg even admitted it calmly.

"Y-You want to go to the Great Church?" Artoria shuddered, "What are you doing in the Great Sanctuary?"

Could it be the clan leader who went to see the Wind Clan?

For the sake of humanity in this city?

Artoria began to think crankily.

This is also to avoid the most correct answer.

Artoria, who has fairy eyes, has vaguely seen through Rige's purpose for going to the Great Sanctuary.

Sure enough, Rig said something that made Artoria's uneasiness explode completely.

"Isn't that Salisbury's Bell Hall?" Riege said lightly, "The bell of the pilgrimage is there, and I will take you over to ring it."

It was as relaxed as saying, "I'll take you to see the scenery," and Artoria didn't even think about it, so she turned around and ran.

"Smack!"

Rige grabbed Artoria by the back of the neck and pulled her back.

"Don't!" Artoria struggled and yelled, "Let go of me! Let me go!"

Such a shout attracted the attention of many passers-by.

"What are you running?"

Rige stared at Artoria with half-squinted eyes.

"Can you not run!?" Artoria struggled as she exclaimed, "You definitely don't want to enter the bell hall in a regular way, do you!?"

"Isn't that a matter of course?" Li Ge said bluntly, "I know on my knees that the people of the Wind Clan would not let a stranger like us approach the Pilgrimage Bell, would they?"

The bell of the pilgrimage is a symbol of the major clans, and it is closely guarded and protected by the major clans, so how can ordinary people casually approach the past?

Not to mention, ringing the bell of the pilgrimage is still a necessary condition for the awakening of the savior, whether it is the current Artoria or the savior of the past, the mission of the two needs to be completed by ringing the six bells of the pilgrimage.

Especially Artoria, ringing the bell of the six pilgrimages can overthrow the rule of Queen Morgan, this kind of thing, can the queen endure? Will the clan chiefs loyal to the queen watch?

In view of this, it was impossible to ring the bell without the permission of the clan chief who was guarding the bell.

Case.....

"Shall we just teleport to the Pilgrimage Bell?"

Rieger came up with a recipe that was in a sense extremely effective and extremely easy to clear the level.

"My biography

You've seen magic before, right? As long as that Great Chapel doesn't have the means to hinder teleportation, I think it's easy to get you to the Bell of the Pilgrimage."

Indeed, as long as you know the location of the Pilgrimage Bell, it will not be difficult for Rig to find it and ring it, which can use teleportation magic.

"But then we'll offend the Clan of Deathwind!"

Artoria is still protesting.

"We've all offended the Tooth Clan, so what about one more Wind Clan?" Rieg said disapprehantly, "Besides, I may fight the queen in the future, and you may also follow the mission to overthrow the queen in the future, if you oppose the queen, then we will be up to the fairy clan that is effectively loyal to the queen."

"In this way, what does it matter if you offend one or two clans in advance?"

Hearing this, Artoria was choked up.

"That's it. Li Ge immediately said, "Let's go, go find the bell of the pilgrimage."

With that, Rig unleashed his teleportation magic and disappeared into the street.

At the same time, two armies came to Salisbury one after the other.

"Humph!"

Looking at the fairy knight opposite him, Woodworth snorted coldly and took the lead into the city.

"Keep up."

Gao Wen said lightly, and then led a large army into the city.

The atmosphere at Salisbury has changed.

It became tense.
