"What's wrong?"
Caroline expressed confusion at my hesitation.
"No...it's nothing, I'm just a little surprised. I didn't expect you to be so young."
I shook my head slightly and dismissed the title Loli from my heart. No matter how you look at it, the Colgate sisters only meet this condition in terms of age. For a senior geek, this alone is not enough to meet the requirements of being called Loli. In fact, Age is not a big issue, body shape, personality and attributes are important. A typical example is my Sarah. Unfortunately, neither Jeluka nor Colgate possess any of them.
"From your human perspective, this age is not too young. Isn't His Highness the Prince only in his early thirties? Starting from scratch and reaching this level in less than ten years, doesn't His Highness the Prince feel that it is better than Since you have directly inherited the power, your own deeds should be more surprising, right?”
"Yes...really?"
I was startled by Jeluka's words, and I couldn't help but lower my head and think deeply. In the eyes of others, could I be a more surprising existence than Jeluka? If I think about it now...
"Um……"
"Can you only remember some stupid past events?"
After pondering for a long time, Jeluka, who couldn't help but feel lonely, interrupted.
"Nonsense... nonsense, how is this possible? Hahaha, I, the druid Wu Fanke... have never done anything like a fool."
I looked stern and said sternly, but in my heart I fell into the infinite OTZ mode. Yes, Jeluka was right. As she said, no matter how I recall my past experiences, I can only think of them. Some of the past events of Idiot and his experiences over the past eight years can be written into an epic masterpiece about how I became an Idiot, and I won’t be able to find any elements that would surprise me.
Could it be that...my life is very sad?
Probably because she saw me curled up in a dark corner like a wounded dog, licking the wounds of the past that I couldn't bear to look back on, Carole rarely used her poisonous tongue to ridicule me, silently tossing the fire stick in her hand. The bonfire fell into silence for a moment.
"Ah, speaking of which, the topic completely went off the rails not long after the beginning."
I suddenly realized that I initially asked about Jeluka's equipment, which seemed to have some purpose. However, I was surrounded by this dirty maid, and unknowingly, I started to go in the opposite direction. Even the topic of age was actually originally... Not scheduled.
"Can you use this Heart of Griswold?"
As I said that, I placed the green gorgeous armor that the Undead Skinner exploded on the ground. Suddenly, the gorgeous armor with simple shape and graceful lines, the unknown dark gold metal that made up the body of the armor, and the green equipment appeared. The unique green light, these lights mixed together, eclipsed the bonfire next to it.
Speaking of which, this Heart of Griswold was originally revealed by Jeluka. At that time, it was just a temporary move for me to accept it. I thought it would not be too late to give it back to Jeluka after I settled down. I asked Jielu The equipment on Ka's body was also intended to surprise her, but it went off topic later, and now it can only be mentioned in this very rustic way.
"I do not need."
Jeluka, who understood my thoughts, said this.
"Even if I want it, I can't wear it."
"What do you mean? You're welcome. Anyway, you were the one who exposed these clothes. As the head of intelligence, you don't know how high my level is. It's useless to stay here. Although you have already With the equipment inherited by the Twelve Knights, the attributes will definitely be better, but look at these days, which adventurer doesn’t keep a few spare sets just in case.”
"His Royal Highness hasn't fully understood what I mean. It's not that it's unnecessary, but that even if you take it, you can't put it on."
Jeluka explained calmly.
"What's going on? Oh, I understand, why didn't I expect it? It hasn't been long since I inherited the inheritance of the Twelve Knights. Your level must not be high now, right?"
After thinking about this, I suddenly realized, what, it turned out to be the same as my current situation, high score and low ability... Oh no, high strength and low level.
Unexpectedly, Jeluka still shook her head and denied my statement.
"It seems that either His Royal Highness is too stupid, or he didn't listen carefully to what I said from the beginning."
"..."
Coach, can you give me a better choice? No matter which one to choose between these two, it seems very difficult.
"There is no other way. I will cooperate with His Highness the Prince and explain in detail. The inheritance methods of our Twelve Knights and Her Majesty the Queen are different."
"different?"
Wait, by the way, what do you mean by cooperating with me? What exactly do you want to cooperate with me? Could it be that while I was silent, this pornographic maid had secretly pressed the "1" option for me?
"Yes, for example, Her Majesty the Queen's Knight King profession. This is a special and unique profession inherited by King Arthur. It cannot be obtained through any other form of job transfer. Only those who inherit King Arthur can obtain it. Of course, including the two sets of King Arthur equipment. , are only qualified to wear them after inheritance. These are probably the substantive things Her Majesty the Queen has obtained through inheritance."
"What's the difference between you two?"
"Of course it's different. In addition to inheriting the titles and equipment of the Twelve Knights, the twelve of us also inherited the power left by the Twelve Knights. When we consolidated this power, each of us already had a pseudo-domain. With super strength, as we continue to integrate with this inherited power, we will eventually reach the peak level of the Twelve Knights in the past. Otherwise, how do you think the twelve of us can protect the [young] Her Majesty the Queen? If it is with Her Majesty the Queen Likewise, if you have to rely on yourself to improve your level and realize your realm step by step, wouldn't the sacrifices of the Twelve Knights back then be meaningless?"
"In this way, wouldn't your inheritance be even more powerful?"
I was suddenly shocked. This is not a big deal. The Twelve Knights are taking the lead. How should you make the dead King Arthur feel so embarrassed?
"Logically speaking... maybe, after all, it is the secret inheritance of the twelve adults who sacrificed themselves."
Jeluka tilted her head slightly in confusion, as if she was in a dilemma over which of the two inheritances was better than NX.
"In that case, if King Arthur passed it down in the same way back then, wouldn't Artoria's strength soar without even having to practice? By the way, how strong were the Twelve Knights and King Arthur back then?"
"His Royal Highness is really... a complete idiot. Although the idea is good, didn't I just say it? This kind of inheritance requires people at the peak of their strength and golden age to perform secret rituals. The twelve pillars that supported the entire Elf Kingdom - the Twelve Knights - died because of this. If King Arthur, who is the backbone, does this again, won't the Elf Kingdom, which has finally been united together, collapse instantly?"
"That's right, haha, I'm sorry, go ahead." I smiled sheepishly.
"Although it is indeed good to be able to directly inherit the strength, there are still some shortcomings."
Jeluka suddenly said something that surprised me. It was probably because of these shortcomings that she was just confused about which of the two inheritances was better.
"That's... because the equipment is inherited together with the power of the Twelve Knights and integrated into the body. The two have been completely integrated and inseparable. In other words, except for the equipment of the Twelve Knights, it is no longer possible for us to use any It’s equipped, but Her Majesty the Queen is different. She has been recognized and inherited the equipment, so there is no problem even if she uses other equipment.”
"Actually, this is not a big deal, right? Even if the equipment left by the Twelve Knights is not an artifact, it is not much different. Although the backup equipment is very important, it is also in the absence of a very good main equipment. If you have an artifact, who can use it? Care about spare equipment."
"Well, as His Highness the Prince said, it's either [even if it's not an artifact, it's not much different], it's a full set of artifacts." Jeluka corrected him calmly, as if what he owned was not a set of artifacts but a set of artifacts. It's a blank slate.
"..."
These damn equipment nouveau riche, I, a nouveau riche, are really shabby compared to them. No wonder Akara often envies the elves for their rich heritage. Just look at King Arthur and he left two sets of artifacts, and the Twelve Knights have twelve sets. , that’s all on the surface. The entire Elf race has hundreds of thousands of years of history, and there are definitely more than just a few outstanding figures. It’s not maybe, but there must be other Elf artifact sets.
Looking at us humans, all we know is that the genuine suits of the Seven Heroes are artifacts, and most of these artifacts are still lost. Such a comparison is simply a matter of clouds and mud. No wonder people say that being born is not as good as being intelligent. I am now I can feel this feeling a little bit.
"Although we are in a somewhat similar situation to Her Majesty the Queen. We have not yet integrated all the power and cannot exert all the power of the artifact. Even so, excluding combat experience, the equipment I am wearing now is enough to compete with those who are junior in the field. Against the enemy, this is the proof that we can protect Her Majesty the Queen."
"A divine weapon is a divine weapon, hahaha..."
At this time, my mood can only be described as envy, jealousy, and hatred. These guys are the protagonists. These guys are the protagonists, bastard. Why are they all full-body artifacts? Everything on my body is like junk. Luka is now pseudo-advanced in the field, and can fight against the junior in the field by wearing equipment. What is the concept of this? You must know that there is not only a gap in strength between the two, but also a gap in realm. Seattle and Carlos, who were at the peak of their pseudo-domain, wanted to resist the pressure of the Hell Fighting Bear's domain, but they vomited blood after holding on for a few minutes. This is Do you know the difference in realm?
"Based on this calculation, wouldn't it be possible for Carolie, who has reached the domain level, and the top master to put on the equipment of the Twelve Knights and compete with the enemies of the power of the world for a while?" I discovered another amazing fact. .
"..."
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
"It's nothing. His Royal Highness is so good at arithmetic. I am so impressed that I am speechless."
"you flatter me……"
I always feel like I’m being criticized, is it my imagination?
"The inability to wear other equipment does not cause much trouble to us. The biggest shortcoming of this inheritance is... our future growth has almost been washed away by the power of inheritance. We who have inherited this power, my twelve This is very different from Her Majesty the Queen and other adventurers. There is no specific data such as level attributes. The only thing we can do is to continue to integrate this power. When it is completely integrated, our future will be bleak, and …”
At this point, Jeluka lowered her head and hesitated for some reason, feeling like she still had unfinished words. In the end, she shook her head and changed the topic.
"Compared to us, Her Majesty the Queen, who is moving forward with her own strength, although she is weak in the early stage, has the possibility of surpassing King Arthur. This is the difference in inheritance between the two."
"Um...can I ask another question? I seem to have asked it just now."
Being cautious rather than a little frightened, I raised my hand and asked.
"How strong was the peak power of the Twelve Knights back then? And how strong was King Arthur back then?"
"Well..." Jeluka hesitated for a while.
"Although it cannot be fully verified, the strength of the Twelve Knights back then should have been at the level of an advanced World Power."
After a pause, Jeluka's next words once again made me feel a little hot and my whole body was filled with smoke.
Her words were: "Without counting the equipment."
Without taking into account the equipment, it has the strength of the World Power. I finally understand why it is said that the elves had the strength to sweep across the entire continent. If King Arthur is included, I am afraid that the power of these thirteen people alone can do it. The entire continent will be surrendered, unless the Dragon Clan, which has become an expert in the world at that time, intervenes.
"As for King Arthur... There are different opinions on this. Some people say that she has surpassed the power of swallowing the world and reached a transcendent realm. However, according to the information I summarized from the Royal Library, King Arthur should have been strong enough at his peak. To keep pace with the current three demon gods, in the final analysis, the superhuman realm is probably the limit set by God for our lives in the Dark Continent, how can it be so easy to break through."
"No, even if it has the same power as the three demon gods, it is enough to surprise people."
I am seriously speechless about Jeluka's statement. What a greedy and dirty maid this is. Isn't the power to swallow the power of the world enough? Is there anything else you're not satisfied with? Although Tarasha was able to seal the Three Demonic Gods back then, and seemed to have reached or even exceeded the strength of the Three Demonic Gods, those of us who have access to more secret information know very well that Tarasha's strength back then was not even close to that of the Three Demonic Gods. Far.
The reason why Tarasha was able to seal the three demon gods was firstly because of the power of external objects. At that time, with Tyrell's [accidental financial support], Tarasha obtained an incredibly magical soul stone. The three demon gods are so courageous that they even came to the first world to enjoy the breeze and take a walk even if most of their power was weakened. When the power is less than one-third of the total victory period, combined with the above factors, some luck must be added. , and finally were successfully sealed one by one by Tarasha, which painted an everlasting mark of humiliation on their old faces.
It can be said that Tarasha's glory was completely passive, or, to put it in a more suspicious way, it was the result of a huge conspiracy. No matter which theory seems to have reliable elements.
"How long will it take to fully integrate the power of the Twelve Knights?" After thinking about it, I couldn't help but ask.
"It varies from person to person, but even for the first knight, if there are no accidents, it will probably take at least ten or twenty years to fully integrate. I hope I can still catch up..."
Jeluka murmured quietly.
"Catch up with what?"
"It's nothing, His Royal Highness Prince Qing doesn't need to mind."
If you don't want me to mind, don't murmur, you bastard! !
"So, this Heart of Griswold has absolutely no value to me, and now as His Highness's personal maid, what I drop should naturally belong to His Highness, so please don't mind."
"Okay, you're welcome then. Although I can't put it on, I can just take it back to tease those people. Thanks, Jeluka. I'll ask Vilas to make you a cloak another day."
"As long as it is not the style of His Highness, I will accept it with gratitude."
"..."
This dirty maid definitely said something outrageous just now.
"But speaking of it, your mission is to protect Artoria's healthy growth (this statement seems a bit weird, but let's forget it). According to what you just said, one day she will surpass you. When the time comes, you should what to do?"
"..."
Hey, could it be that I asked a very strange topic? I just suddenly thought of this and said it casually. Why did this dirty maid look a little ugly just for a moment?
"Indeed, in that case, our mission will be completed. In fact, when Her Majesty the Queen's strength reaches the level of world power, the twelve of us will be able to retire."
"Then what are your plans then? Grandma Yalandan will never let you plant flowers and grass..."
"Your Highness, do you still remember the oath of the Twelve Knights that I said?"
When I said this jokingly, Jeluka suddenly interrupted.
"Protect King Arthur's successor to grow up, that's probably what it means." I answered carefully for fear of misremembering.
"That's it. Her Majesty the Queen is the heir of King Arthur, but not the last heir, so our mission is not over until..."
Having said this, Jeluka silently entered the drinking mode and stopped talking.
Jeluka, what does this mean? Artoria is the heir, but not the last heir, which means that in the future, there will be others who will continue to succeed her. At that time, the Twelve Knights...
Well? !
I suddenly understood what Jeluka meant.
After completing the mission of protecting Artoria's growth, these twelve people may... no, it is definitely, they will definitely sacrifice themselves like the Twelve Knights back then, and continue to pass on the power of the Twelve Knights, using Come to protect the new generation of king's successors...
If that's the case, it's really not a wonderful inheritance. Doesn't it limit the lifespan to only a few decades? Knowing that he must die at his golden age, why can Jeluka remain so calm?
These chapters can be regarded as an introduction to the overall hidden strength of the elves. After all, the alliance has super masters such as the old drunkard and the hairy leg fairy, not to mention the elves with hundreds of thousands of foundations. This will save readers from asking questions. Why do these masters suddenly appear? V
