Chapter 496:
"Ah, I feel very sad. I clearly said that this is not possible. It is so careless that I can't move a single step. My demon string Philnot doesn't need arrows, it's just a flick of order. Cut through the enemy's sound blade. Even if you can't move, you can't draw a bow—you can cut your body with one breath."
"No! Help - please let me go!"
The refugee begged for mercy to the red Archer, but he didn't hear a single cut off the refugee's head.
"Stupid old man in the mountains, you should say something like, 'Please don't move a finger'."
…
"It's so strong. But why do you want to fight against an ordinary person who is defenseless? Has he lost the glory of a knight? He still has the glory of a hero, why do you do this?"
Bedivere next to him whispered, his voice trembling slightly, making people hear anger faintly.
"What are you still doing here? Do it, you guys!" Li Xiang roared in a low voice, and when she finished speaking, she had already stood up from the hidden position.
Of course, the people around him did not hesitate. Assassin committed suicide beyond everyone's expectations. If they knew what she was thinking, they would definitely stop Assassin's suicide. But seeing the red Archer slaughtering refugees, they couldn't take it any longer.
"assistant!"
What everyone didn't expect was that the first person to scream was Matthew.
More than anyone else, she rushed forward and erected a huge cross shield behind one of the refugees. Then only a dull crash was heard, and the cross shield in Matthew's hand trembled slightly, and then returned to silence, apparently blocking the red Archer's attack.
"How careless is this, my attention was taken away by the stupid old man in the mountains. But it's really lucky, you avoided my perception, you didn't choose to kill me by sneak attack, but chose to walk in my In front of me, is it worth giving up the chance to kill me and saving a meaningless life?"
It was a handsome man with his eyes closed. Lixiang and the others never turned their heads after they appeared. Obviously, he no longer uses his eyes to see things.
He has long hair that is as red as flames, and his handsome face has a touch of melancholy, like a sentimental poet. Perhaps he should be holding a beautiful harp instead of a life-threatening longbow.
"It's pointless?" Matthew glared at Archer angrily, "I don't know why, when I saw you kill these people with your own hands, I felt incredible. Seeing their lives being taken away by you one by one, I My heart aches, even if I know it's dangerous, but I must stop you. Archer, why would you do something to ordinary people, they are just refugees, even a hostile nation, you shouldn't do it, Where has your chivalry gone?"
Matthew sent out an angry question, leaving the red Archer speechless.
"...This is a sad interrogation. I am ashamed of my actions, unable to face the words of a little girl. However, there is no way, the creeds of knights are always various, and when the creeds of knights fall into contradictions , the knight will have to face the torture and choice against his will. This is my choice, little girl, choosing to kill these people violates the creed of protecting the weak, these are my will. Yes, kill the people of the mountain , this is my choice."
The red Archer's words were a mouthful, but the Mona Lisa instantly understood what he meant: "You mean, when faced with a choice, you chose to kill the Mountain People. But if you don't , would also violate other knightly creeds, right?"
"You must be a wise sage, that's exactly what I mean. I have a choice, I can even run away cowardly, but I chose to kill the weak mountain people in the end. What a sad choice, even to kill Even if the enemy is dead, the sadness cannot be reduced."
After speaking, the red Archer's body moved. He violated his agreement with the old man in the mountains. The old man in the mountains cut off his head in exchange for the two feet and right arm that moved.
"Let's go, I think this is your purpose... If they can leave, I think this is the completion of the agreement of the old man in the mountains." The old man in the mountains sacrificed himself in exchange for the red Archer's two feet and one hand, just to give The refugees are fighting for a chance to live, and the red Archer simply allows the refugees to leave, and this agreement is completed.
However, things were not so simple, and the murderous aura from the red Archer became more intense.
The red Archer abandoned these refugees, intending to target Lixiang and others. They appeared at this time, and the purpose was very clear, so there is no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides. Compared with them, what are these refugees?
Only one person dares to stay and fight?
I don't know whether the red Archer is confident in himself or arrogant, but recalling the warning that Olga Marie warned before, "comparable to the demon pillar", it is obviously the former.
Where is this hero from?
"No, you still have a choice."
Bedwell walked from behind to the front, his face was very ugly, but his eyes were very determined.
"The moment you take this mission, no matter what you choose, it will go against your knightly morality. But from the very beginning, your choice was wrong. Knight-Tristan, you know that the king's order is wrong, and the king's choice is wrong. Going against the way of a knight, at that time, you should have persuaded the king, telling her that this was a wrong order, and begging her to withdraw the order to kill."
"What an offensive and rude remark that dares to slander the majesty of the king!"
PS: No responsibility to push books, well, I just update it for the sake of pushing books.
"The Lost Me and the Chaos World" is a book by one of the readers. As for why there is no responsibility to push the book, it is because I have not read it. As for why I have to push the book even if I haven't read it, you should be considerate of a writer who can figure out how many readers he has.
Chapter 783 Chapter 301 The Son of Sorrow
Bedwell's words obviously angered the red Archer, his handsome and melancholy face showed a fierce color for the first time, but then he was suddenly stunned.
"You are... how?"
The eyes that I thought they could no longer use suddenly opened, and the bright eyes were full of wonder, and Bedwell's figure was reflected in them.
"How could it be you? Lord Bedwell, why are you here."
Like surprise, like questioning, the red Archer-Trista muttered absentmindedly.
Facing Tristan's shocked gaze, Bedwell turned his head slightly, as if he didn't dare to face him. But soon, he met Tristan's gaze: "Long time no see, Lord Tristan, I didn't expect us to meet here... It's not just me, I think everyone thinks so. Look, everyone here... Have you already Forgot them? Merlin-sama and…”
"Merlin..." Tristan followed Bedwell's gaze towards Magician S, his equally shocked gaze fell on him, but he soon recovered his calm. He glanced at Mash who was standing in front of him again, his doubtful eyes became clear, and then he closed his eyes again.
"What a gaffe this is, I really didn't expect us to meet here, so that we are right in front of us, but we have been unable to recognize each other. I thought the person who should come out has already come out... Yes, we are enemies, right? , Lord Bedwell, in this case, you really shouldn't be there. How sad it is, the knights who once fought side by side are now facing each other with swords and bows. Nothing is more sad than this. . But I have to say: Sir Bedwell, it is too late. It is too late, and nothing can be undone, if you had been called earlier, if you had appeared earlier in With my king, this tragedy will not occur."
Tristan uttered his words of sadness again, and the atmosphere instantly infected everyone, even Rika, who knew nothing about it, became melancholy.
The murderous aura that seemed to be fragile silently subsided, Tristan's murderous intention has completely disappeared, and he doesn't seem to intend to stay here anymore.
"Hey, where are you going?"
Tristan's footsteps paused, and he turned his head to "look" at Rika: "Are you the Master of Chaldea? I heard your name in the King's Holy Word, Fujimaru Rika. If you want to restore people Li, then we will definitely meet again, but at that time we will not die, I will wait for you in the holy city."
…
"ran away."
Unexpectedly, Tristan would suddenly decide to leave, and everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Tristan, whose spirit base is comparable to the Demon God Pillar, is not as easy to deal with as the Demon God Pillar. Everyone already has very skilled experience in fighting the Demon God Pillar, but the function of the Demon God Pillar is not for fighting, they were originally just a familiar created by the King of Magic to handle affairs. Tristan is now like Joan of Arc and Black Saber, a knight who possesses the power of the Demon Pillar but is good at fighting.
"I didn't expect it to be Tristan, the son of sadness." Mona Lisa was also shocked that the red Archer turned out to be a Knight of the Round Table, "I'm chasing the people of the mountain, do you think he is from the Holy City? So, the Lion King in the Holy City ...No, I'm not sure yet, after all, Tristan is just a summoned Servant... But, there seems to be no one other than the king who can make Tristan execute orders that violate the way of chivalry."
To be honest, in the work of "The Death of King Arthur", the knights and deeds in it are more gathered from various legends in the Middle East and the West into one book. It may be that unrelated characters from different eras are put together, but they can't stand it. The popularity is high, and you can read several different legends in one book. This multiple happiness makes people unable to extricate themselves.
However, the knights who are "noble" in the setting are full of various black spots in the works. The perfect knight and the loyal and protective queen have an incestuous love; the loyal knight can say such absurd words as "the king does not understand people's hearts"; the pure knight takes the Holy Grail but gives up, completely forgetting that it is actually handed over by the king His task... All in all, this is a work that constantly overturns the settings in the book. Although character conflict is one of the readability of the work, it allows people to define the characters in the work.
"You seem to have said 'Merlin' just now, right?" Lixiang began to recall the conversation just now, although those words made people confused... No, it should be said that it was because of the confusion, so the part that he could understand was particularly obvious. , "Could it be that you know each other?"
…turns out it’s time for literacy again.
Knight Tristan is a member of the Knights of the Round Table, known as the Son of Sorrow. His parents died when he was young, and he was raised by his uncle, who served as a knight. Tragically, however, Tristan fell in love with his uncle's love, Isolde, and was expelled from the court by his uncle's jealousy.
He later married a woman named Isolde, but his memory of the past Isolde grew day by day. Later, in a battle, he was poisoned and fell down. In a dying state, he prayed to meet Isolde and said to his wife: "If she comes, she will pull up the white sail, and if she doesn't come, she will use the black sail. ."
Tristan's wife, Isolde, deceived Tristan, who was waiting for the other Isolde's boat, to tell him that it was the black sailboat.
Ultimately, Tristan gets to the point under the lie of his own wife.
The tragic love story of Tristan and Isolde spread widely, and so did the fame of the Son of Sorrow.
"That is to say, that Archer is actually King Arthur... Artoria's subordinate?" The answer obviously surprised Lixiang. After all, the upright Artoria is a somewhat rigid knight, and logically speaking, her subordinates are not It would be too far off. "If Arturia knew that Tristan was so cruel, would he vaporize him with a flash of a cannon?... You said, the Holy City should be..."
Lika's words were not spoken, but the meaning was already obvious: Could the Lion King in the Holy City be Arturia?
No one took this sentence, and their faces were not very good, because from Tristan's words, this possibility is very high. And the reason they couldn't be sure was their understanding of Arturia, King Arthur was indeed a noble king of knights like the legend. If the lion king in the holy city is Arturia, then she can't give Tristan an order to "kill the refugees".
"Thank you very much, you saved my compatriots."
"This is... a shadow coming out of Assassin's body, is it a ghost?"
Matthew noticed this change, and she erected a shield to block the black shadow.
"No, this is a shadow follower." Mona Lisa shook her head, she couldn't see any hostility in the shadow, "It's Assassin's last obsession, she wants to see her partner get out of life. Even if Regardless of her, it won't take long for her to dissipate because she loses her magical support. Of course, if we didn't show up, it might be another scene."
Unexpected changes have taken place in this land, and the concentration of magic power has exceeded the level that history should have. It is not surprising that any changes occur. The birth of the Shadow Servant is similar to the ghost, but the difference from the ghost is the strength of the soul and magic.
"Exactly. If you didn't show up, my compatriots would be killed by that knight, and I would be affected by the resentment of my companions and my own obsession, and eventually become an evil spirit controlled by hatred. So thank you very much. Showing up in time not only saved my compatriots, but also freed me."
The shadow follower Yamanaka-san seemed to be bowing, and she sincerely thanked everyone.
Matthew, who was in front of the old man in the mountain, said shyly, "No, you're welcome, we can't watch the killing ground incident like this."
"Although this may trouble you, but... can I ask you one thing? Please take my compatriots to find other old people in the mountains, they will definitely protect my compatriots, because we are from the same clan. I My compatriots know the location of the other old people in the mountains, but I am worried that I will be attacked by other knights. This is the last request of a mortal person. I have no reason to ask you to do this, and I can't pay any price, but... please ."
"this…"
Unable to make a decision on this matter, Mash couldn't help but look back at Rika. Everyone didn't say anything. At this time, Lixiang should really decide.
"We promised you." Li Xiang didn't make everyone wait long, and didn't disappoint everyone. Looking at the group of refugees who may die on the road at any time, no one can be indifferent, and as people with spare capacity, they should do something more.
"We will protect them from the knights."
"Thank u-"
The old man in the mountains gave his last words of thanks, and then disappeared.
"Then next." Since he accepted the request of the old man in the mountains, it should be done. Although this request was contrary to their purpose and disrupted their plan to go to the Holy City, no one would stick to the original plan. Compared with human life, delayed execution of plans that are not yet uncertain can be put to the back.
"Shouldn't we really plan to bring these people to the positions of other old people in the mountains?" No, there is one person who disagrees with this plan, and that is Olga Marie, who is far away in the control room of Chaldea.
It's just a prelude sentence, everyone can already imagine Olga Marie's next rage.
"What the **** are you thinking?! Can't you prioritize? Are you too involved in the drama or are you busy with your own business? They are just passers-by in the singularity, no matter what you do to them, the singularity repair It will return to its original state in the future, and this memory will all disappear. In comparison, how to repair the singularity is a serious matter."
Mona Lisa nodded: "It is undeniable, Director, you are very reasonable."
Mash also nodded: "But ah, as expected, it still has to be like this. If it's a senior—"
"Director, what are you thinking about? Aren't we just saving mankind? It's the same anyway, the people of the mountain and the holy city are the same. Sooner or later, we need to go there once. This time it's on the way, and someone will show us the way."
It has to be said that Li Xiang's statement is the most reasonable. Whether it is morally or theoretically, it would be more convenient to go to the camp of the people of the mountain to find the old man in the mountain at this time. Anyway, the holy city is in Jerusalem, even if it is delayed, it will not change. But the old man in the mountains seemed to be hiding in a very secret place, and if there was no one to lead the way, he would probably have no clue.
The reason why Olga Marie objected was not that it was unreasonable, but that their actions were too "chaotic". There is no plan to speak of, do whatever you want, and do whatever comes to your mind, which is absolutely impossible for a decision maker. No matter how well-planned the plan was, it would be completely subverted and broken by the executors. Olga Marie was restrained by not letting Rika stay in Chaldea forever.
I always felt that Olga Marie would explode in place one day, maybe she laughed coldly when she succeeded in saving Ren Li, and then said in a vengeful tone: "You are no longer worth using, just give me all of them. Disappear with the King of Magic."
-Then the chain fell off due to various reasons, and was beaten by Lixiang who returned to Chaldea.
Trust me, that last possibility is really great.
In the end, Olga Marie was persuaded by everyone. To be precise, Olga Marie, who was far away in Chaldea, had nothing to do with everyone in the singularity. She was probably the most dignified director in the history of Chaldea.
However, Lixiang accepted the request of the old man in the mountains and "convinced" the director, but she did not expect that she would be rejected by these refugees.
"What did you say?!"
"Give up, we won't take you to the old man in the mountains."
"You may not know what you're talking about, I'll give you another chance now."
"No matter how many times you say it, I will never betray our compatriots and take you to the old man in the mountains."
That's right, after persuading Olga Marie, Lixiang was planning to protect the group of refugees to the base of the old man in the mountains, but was rejected by these refugees.
His kindness was rejected, and Lixiang couldn't help but get annoyed. "Don't forget, you were saved just because of us, otherwise, you would have been killed by Tristan long ago."
Li Xiang, who was angry, looked very terrifying, and the refugee in front of him obviously felt shivering, but he still refused to give in an inch.
"Did you and that knight know each other? I heard what you said just now, not only the knights you know, but also the same marks on the armor and shield, so you didn't fight. You must be trying to find out through us. The hidden location of the old man in the mountain, and then inform your companions, and then take the opportunity to destroy our compatriots."
Chapter 784 Chapter 302 The Lion King
Considered to be a wicked person.
The refugees' lives were saved by them, but not in their eyes.
Before Lixiang and others appeared, the old man in the mountain just died, and Tristan retreated because of their appearance, and the whole thing was full of strangeness. In addition, this group of refugees has long been frightened, and it is normal to have great vigilance against any stranger, and to have distrust of them.
But what really makes refugees hostile to them seems to be the "marks" on shields and armor.
Leaving aside Matthew's shield for the time being, Bedwell's armor bears the same markings as Tristan, which is easy to understand, because they are both members of the Knights of the Round Table. Simply put, these marks are the marks of the Knights of the Round Table. After all, the Knights of the Round Table are all over Britain, and it's completely normal if they don't know each other. As long as they encounter this mark, they will know that the other party is one of their own.
Obviously, these refugees also regarded Rika and others as Tristan's companions, and they were unwilling to trust them no matter how they explained.
After all, they are knights who have killed an unknown number of compatriots. If they are brought to the hideout of the old man in the mountains, they are likely to become sinners who bring disaster to the people of the mountains.
"Okay, Lixiang, there is no need to continue."
Magician S put his hand on Lika's shoulder, preventing her from continuing. Speaking of this time, Lixiang is even angry. She is not a patient person, and she has a bad temper. She wants to convince this group of "knights" who put them on the side of the "enemy" from the beginning. "The people of the mountain are simply impossible. In their eyes, Lixiang, who was getting more and more excited, had probably become an angry knight who planned to kill someone. Magician S has seen them retreating continuously, while Lika shows signs of approaching step by step.
Continuing, the hostility of the people of the mountain will only deepen, it is better to let them calm down and communicate with each other after a period of time.
After all, Magician S still doesn't know if they will make contact with the people of the mountain.
"We respect your decision. If you want to leave, go as soon as possible, here is water and food, I think you still need it. We will go in this direction, and maybe meet the knights who are chasing you. During this time, you is safe."
The refugees were surprised to find that they did not insist on "protecting" them, and then looked at the supplies with hesitation. But soon there were bold people who picked up the supplies, especially those with old people and children. They knew that going to the mountain people's stronghold in their current state would most likely die on the way.
After finding that no one was stopping them, they quickly divided the supplies and left.
