Chapter 1,172 Artoria’s request for help
"Artoria!!"
As the figure inside appeared, I couldn't help but scream.
It's so familiar. This aura, coupled with the fact that Artoria and I have already soul-linked, now that she releases her aura, there is a feeling of familiarity in her heart.
Speaking of which, why did she come out of the back room, and why did she keep hiding her aura just now?
I couldn't understand.
And with this sound, a petite but majestic figure stepped out from inside.
Wearing a large cloak, his head is deeply shrouded in the hat. Although the cloak is just a relatively common black button-down cloak with gold edges, it unexpectedly has a light and natural sense of fit. You can tell at a glance that it is from Tailor-made by the elf master.
The cloak is tied at the collar, but underneath it is slightly opened to reveal the plain clothes of a snow-white dress and a navy blue jacket. A simple sense of nobility and elegance shines through, making people dare not look directly.
The surroundings are filled with brilliance like the sun, majestic, noble, firm, confident, unyielding, and courageous. It gathers all the qualities of a king in the world. Anyone who sees it will have such an idea - this person must be God's chosen darling, the king who rules the world.
This person is Artoria, the queen of the elves, one of the mainland's twin stars.
It’s been a long time since I felt Artoria’s temperament, and I couldn’t help but sigh, and compared her temperament with that of Sister Sharna.
To put it simply, she is also a "king". Sister Sharna is an overlord. One man is in charge and she is invincible. She does not need comrades who will live and die together, nor does she need soldiers who swear loyalty to the death. Qian, wherever I pass, I will be the king, and everyone will kneel down and retreat.
In contrast, Artoria is a benevolent king, with a rigorous character like a knight, brave, upright, benevolent, humble, confident, with a firm will and lofty ideals, never confused, and of course, commanding soldiers The prestige and wisdom across the battlefield are like the sun. Although it is too far away and hot to be looked directly at, it dispels the darkness, guides the direction, and brings light and hope to people, so people gather around her. She won countless loyal warriors who were impressed by her charisma.
One-on-one, Sister Sharna is naturally invincible, but once a large number of warriors gather around Artoria, Sister Sharna can only lose with hatred. This is the difference between an overlord and a benevolent king, and also Sharna. What are the advantages and disadvantages between Sister Na and Artoria.
"Fan, long time no see, how are you?"
While I was thinking about this, Artoria, who was wearing a cloak, had already taken off the hat on her head, revealing her beautiful appearance that was no less beautiful than Rogge's three beauties.
It's just that the blond hair that is usually tied on the head is now neatly spread on the shoulders, exuding a slight moisture, as if just taking a shower, looking less majestic than usual, and a little more. Separate the softness of home.
However, the golden hair on his forehead is still sharp.
"You probably won't believe me if I say it's completely fine. Just try to do it. You'll be able to recover in a while."
I shrugged my shoulders helplessly and replied, with that dirty guy following me, in the task of collecting crystal fragments, the elves must know my actions and situation one step ahead of the alliance. I even doubt myself now. During the mission, Jelka kept a detailed record of how many times she slept and went to the toilet, and then sent a report to Arlandran and Artoria.
"Yeah?"
As if she was very satisfied with my honesty, a smile flashed across Artoria's deep green eyes. She took a few steps forward and began to look up and down on my body.
"It's fine. I'm sorry, Fan. I was late both times and couldn't stand by your side to fight side by side. As a wife, I have neglected my duty."
twice?
I tilted my head and realized immediately that it was probably the last mission to collect crystal fragments and the recent Fallen Alliance attack.
"It's okay, it's okay. The courage on your shoulders is much heavier than mine. Even if I can't help, at least I don't want to be a husband who drags his wife back."
Looking into each other's eyes, this consideration for each other made us smile as if we were connected.
Standing with the upright and authoritative Arturia, I feel like I have become a man, oh oh oh, this is the long-awaited drizzle, my dry bottle has been moisturized.
"Ahem, let's sit down and talk. It's not good to leave Akara nǎinǎi aside."
Suddenly noticing the gaze of two people, I couldn't help but cough a few times and said awkwardly, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I was so happy that I forgot there were bystanders. Now is not the time for the couple's theater."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Seeing that you can love each other makes me happier than anything else."
Akela happily narrowed her eyes into a straight line.
To put it bluntly, my marriage to Artoria is a political marriage without any emotion. Although we are known as the mainland twins and are a unique pair in the Dark Continent, it seems that we have shortened the distance a lot.
However, it does not change the situation that we have never met before, never understood each other, know nothing about each other and have no feelings for each other.
What's more, in terms of personality, Arturia and I are also far away from each other. One is a small otaku whose goal is to eat and die, and the other is a great queen whose goal is to save the continent and revitalize the elves. No matter how you look at it, Don't pair it.
Therefore, Akara probably still has a lot of worries about whether Artoria and I can get along harmoniously. Now that we are like this, it is not so difficult to understand that she feels happy.
I untied the tie on the collar of the cloak and put the cloak in Kalijie's hands. I naturally took Altria's little hand and came to Akara and sat down face to face.
"Speaking of which, Artoria, why did you stay in the back room just now and hide your aura?"
At this time, I remembered the question just now. Otherwise, with Artoria's strong aura and sense of presence, especially when the soul is still connected, I should be able to sense her from a long distance away. , instead of being as surprised as before.
"It was Bea who suggested that I hide inside and give Fan a surprise. Human men probably like this kind of surprise."
As she said that, the golden hair on Artoria's forehead tilted slightly, then automatically turned around, and she herself nodded in agreement.
Scammed! You were fooled by that little girl, you idiot
I roared in my heart and overturned the coffee table of my soul.
Because most of the time is spent on the internal affairs of the Elf Tribe and training on the ability to be a king, there will occasionally be some behaviors that are out of touch with common sense, and the side effects of integrity and self-confidence - one intestine leads to the bottom, and the common people Also known as natural stupidity, this is the best stage for Artoria to express her stupid kingly character.
Akela, why did you not stop it even though you knew it, and let that little girl come and instill some strange knowledge into Artoria?
I cast a sharp look at Akara.
Oops, don’t you feel the surprise?
Akela replied with a smile.
Then...
I'm still a little bit a little worried, not because I want to deny the surprise, but I just don't want to be tricked by that little girl Beiya.
There was no restraint. After chatting about some trivial matters, we focused the topic on Artoria’s last spectacular action.
It was when I was playing hide and seek with the crystal shards that she ran to look for the lost fragments of the King Arthur suit.
Although I learned a little bit about it from Miss Beiya and knew that Arturia's operation might have failed and failed to find the fragments, I still want to find out more from the person involved to see if this has the same problem as mine. What kind of different vigorous journeys did he go through at the same time, attracting the stupid king with a troublesome physique?
As a result, Artoria's story started when she was about to set out to join me on the road where she rescued an elf girl who was being chased by a swarm of Jungle Bees (non-venomous, an ordinary person can crush it to death with one hand, capture level lv-5). After escorting her all the way home, she accidentally found a torn treasure map in the other party's village. Because it marked that there were a large number of king crocodiles, not far from several nearby villages, Artoria was relieved. I couldn't help but want to confirm, and then I found a ruin there. In the ruins, I found an ancient elven fragment with a magic circle carved on it. The ancient techniques inside could not be deciphered even by the elven royal magician for a moment. , during the process of cracking, the mage accidentally discovered in an ancient book that it might be related to King Arthur, but in the end, he found that if he wanted to read the information inside, he had to kill a dead creature with one horn, two heads, three eyes and four eyes. Tailed wolf (capture level lv50), you can use its blood to hide the information in the fragments, and then visit a mysterious old elf mage living alone in the depths of the Kurast forest to decipher it, but you don’t want to go there. Easy, you have to wade through what is known as the Corridor of Bones along the way, a river of death where even a powerful being like King Crocodile will immediately turn into a pile of bones if you enter it, and there are tens of millions of sawtooths scattered across thousands of miles of desolation. Storm Ant Canyon and so on, finally found this elven wise man, but found that the other party's precious granddaughter was swept away by the giant swallowing python. If she doesn't come out quickly, she will be eaten...
All in all, after many twists and turns, we finally found clues to the missing fragments of King Arthur’s suit.
"It's really not easy."
Akara and I sighed from the bottom of our hearts and wiped the cold sweat from our foreheads.
To be honest, it is not easy for Artoria to live safely until now.
Compared with Artoria's experience, his battle with the Pain Worm seemed a bit insignificant.
"Originally, I wanted to arrange for Kalijie to act with you Fan. At any rate, she also has domain-level strength and can be of some help. I didn't expect that she wouldn't be able to trust me. Now that she has come here, Jelika was originally just delivering the news. , but he pretended to be her."
Artoria sighed helplessly, seemingly unable to do anything about the twin sisters.
"I'm really sorry."
Kaljie, who was standing aside, bowed at an upright ninety degrees and apologized again.
"No, it's me who should apologize. Kalijie followed me all the way and helped me a lot. Without her, I might have fallen halfway, so please allow me..."
Arturia stood up solemnly.
"Forget it, forget it, we are husband and wife, husband and wife! You don't have to be so polite!!"
I couldn't help but pulled Arturia to sit down.
"Really? Because we are husband and wife, doing this will make us look a little bit different. So that's how it is."
Arturia tilted her head and muttered to herself, apparently adding some new knowledge to her slightly lacking common sense.
"Then, have you found the fragment?"
"No." As I expected, Artoria shook her head.
"Although Kaljie and I went through many difficulties and finally tracked Harrogath in the second world and found the place where the fragments might be hidden, we still returned without success."
"What's going on?"
I suddenly became curious, was it because the clues were fake, there were no fragments there at all, or was it for other reasons?
If Artoria exerts her full strength, she should be close to the strength of the field now. As for Kalijie, she is the second most powerful field-level master among the twelve knights. The two of them join forces to fight in the second world of Harrogath. , there should be nothing stopping them.
"This matter is one of the purposes of my visit to the Alliance this time." Artoria suddenly looked at me seriously.
"Fan, I hope to get your help."
"Does it mean getting the fragments of King Arthur?"
"That's right."
"Of course that's no problem."
I patted my chest and promised, after all, Artoria is also my wife, and this is my business.
It's just that there is something that she and Kalijie can't do together... It seems that this task is not easy. If you agree, you must not get too carried away and capsize the boat in the ditch.
If there was a ranking of people that I least wanted to embarrass myself in front of, Artoria would definitely be in the top three. A
