"Fan, it's been an hour." After a long time, Artoria said weakly.
"Really? Only a few minutes." I pretended to be stupid.
"Fan, it's not good to lie." My king said this, but he was not angry. Instead, there was a faint blush on his pretty face.
"Okay, I'll hug you next time." I let go of Artoria, took a few steps back, and looked her up and down.
The spotless pure white King Arthur knight suit, worn on her body, was like a white snow lotus. Even this dark brown land could not stain her with a trace of mud and dust, but instead highlighted her nobility and purity. beauty.
However, outside the armor, that delicate face, which is one of the best among the elves, has a touch of earth color, and her bright, willful eyes cannot hide her feeling of fatigue at this time. At first glance, He seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
Seeing this, I feel very sad.
"Artoria, you have lost weight." I reached out and wiped away the dust on her pretty face.
"Really?" The golden hair rotated slightly, and my king tilted his head slightly, as if he didn't realize that he looked a little embarrassed now.
"I don't think so. Although I'm a little tired, apart from worrying about things in the clan, my life has been quite fulfilling during this period." As he said this, my king gently touched his hand to his waist with a hint of excitement. translucent sword of victory.
"Do you know how long you've been here?" I asked, dumbfounded when I saw my king's oblivious state.
"How long has it been?" She frowned slightly, and the golden hair on her forehead turned violently, she said to herself uncertainly.
"Probably...I guess it's been more than half a year."
"This time, plus one year is about the same." I pointed out a finger and waved it in front of her eyes.
"Wha... what? A year and a half?" My king was startled, and even his golden hair stood up straight, and he beeped an alarm.
"It's been almost three months since you left me in the third world."
After being stunned for a long time, my king suddenly showed a look of shame.
"Sorry, I must have caused a lot of trouble to everyone and made everyone worried."
"Everyone is quite worried, but seeing you in high spirits now is better than anything else, isn't it, Karen?"
"Yes, it's great that Your Majesty is fine." Standing behind her, Carole's eyes were already wet and red. She looked at Arturia as if they were sisters reunited after a long separation. They were all moved.
"Colgate, are you okay?"
"Okay, Your Majesty, I'm fine, and everyone is fine too. I just miss you so much." Caroline came to the king and was about to kneel down on one knee to salute, but she was supported by the king and hugged her gently.
"I'm sorry for making you worry." Arturia, who rarely showed her true feelings, gently touched Carol's head, and her voice was choked with sobs.
"As long as your Majesty is fine." Carole kept wiping the corners of her eyes and was speechless.
I quietly watched this heartwarming scene. In terms of emotions, the sisters Artoria and Colgate, who have been together since childhood, must be deeper than my king and I, so I can especially feel their inner excitement at this time. .
After a while, the master and servant, who had a better relationship than sisters, finally calmed down. Carolie immediately entered the state of a maid, constantly greeting her, and wanted to do something for Her Majesty the Queen, who had been trapped here for a long time.
"Let's talk inside first." Artoria stepped aside and let us enter the cave.
The light in the cave is dim, but under the light of Arturia's magical costume, it feels a bit like a dream. In addition, if conditions permit, my king is not the kind of person who likes to treat me badly. Therefore, gems are inlaid on the walls of the simple cave, and the light seems to be a little brighter, making it feel even better than outside.
After walking diagonally downward for a hundred meters, we finally came to the bottom, a spacious and flat cave, a table, a few chairs, and a bed. That’s all. Not to mention the simplicity of Her Majesty the Queen of the Elf Tribe. , a level that even an ordinary person would find difficult to accept.
But my king has spent more than a year here, and he seems to be quite happy. He has even forgotten the time. Thinking of this, I feel even more distressed.
"How do you live here, and how do you solve the food problem?" I asked after taking a glance.
"The food I brought has been eaten up long ago, and I can't find any food source here, but I don't know who will bring me food on time, so I won't be hungry anymore."
"Could it be the Twelve Knights?" I guessed.
"I guess so. Apart from the tests, the only soul fragments left here are the soul fragments of the adults." Artoria nodded in agreement, then showed a confused look.
"But why don't they want to show up and meet each other?"
"I'm afraid I think it will disturb the test."
"That's the only way to explain it. It's a pity. Apart from guessing that there may be the soul of the Knight of Blue Laroch here, I still don't know who else is there."
"When the test is completed, they will definitely show up."
"At that time, we can only see each other for the last time." Artoria looked a little sad. Probably like me, she thought of the wife knight and bear spirit lolita she met during the first test.
"Don't be sad. They must have disappeared with smiles on their faces. This can be regarded as a relief for them." Facing the sad Arturia, I could only offer words of comfort.
"Yes, I should cheer up." My king's eyes were determined.
"Well, let's complete the test as soon as possible and let them fulfill their wishes." I nodded in agreement, and told my king some of the current situation of the elves. After letting her put aside her inner worries, I finally asked about the content of this test.
But before that, first of all, I have to understand something.
"Artoria, how did you find the entrance to the test?" I looked at my king with admiration, and even had the idea of giving her the golden title of Maze Runner.
"That is indeed a waste of effort." Hearing this, even my king, who had never cried tiredly, showed a wry smile.
"But fortunately, with the guidance of the Sword of Victory, it took me nearly half a month to find the right place." As she said that, she gently stroked the translucent knight's sword in her hand, full of gratitude.
It turned out to be guided by the Sword of Victory. Let me tell you, with so few clues, how could she get to the right place?
With tears in my eyes at the time, I complained to Artoria about the crimes of the Little King. It was this little guy who was so confused that he couldn’t even remember the test place he had set up. I was in debt and went to In the third world, I still don’t know how to be manipulated by Raphael like a cow or a horse.
"Lord King Arthur is here too?"
"Well, if she doesn't come, we can't get in. After all, the Sword of Victory is the only key."
"That's right." My king suddenly nodded.
"Then where is Lord King Arthur now?"
"She went to find the souls of the other twelve knights guarding here. Let her go and reminisce about the past."
"Um."
Thinking of the deep relationship between King Arthur and her twelve knights, and also thinking that the twelve knights left their master who was like a family member in this way, Arturia and I both sighed with sadness, and then at the same time, we cast our sharp eyes on On Caroline.
This kind of thing will never be allowed to happen a second time!
Even if she was determined in her heart, she couldn't help but feel restless when faced with the "malicious" gazes of the two masters at the same time, as if she was trembling like a little frog being stared at by two snakes at the same time.
"By the way, Artoria, what happened to your test? What went wrong? Is it really that difficult? It can trap you for more than a year." After reminiscing, we finally got to the point.
"There seems to be something wrong." Hearing this, my king's brows furrowed slightly.
"As far as I know, the final level of this test should be the gatekeeper of the Stoneman King's City."
"Little King Arthur also said this to me, isn't it?"
"But, I already tried every means to defeat it half a year ago."
"In that case, haven't you already cleared the level already?"
"That's logically true, but..."
"But what, what happened?"
"However, after defeating the giant stone man, the stone man king appeared."
Caroline and I were stunned.
Then, I wanted to find the Little Little King immediately, roll her petite and cute figure body into a ball, and play bowling or something. I also said that I would not cheat my heir, and that the final test would be just a stone giant. Jiang, deceived us in the blink of an eye.
I was so frightened that I quickly came to Artoria, squeezed her arm, and looked at her whole body. It wasn't until my king turned red and embarrassed that I came to my senses and smiled.
"I'm afraid that something will happen to you. According to the little king, the Stoneman King is the strongest person in the world. How could she take such a deceptive opponent as the final test?"
"Fan, I understand your worries." Arturia nodded gratefully, her golden hair gently spinning with tenderness, and then she frowned.
"The most powerful person in the world is an invincible enemy to me now. Does King Arthur have any deep meaning in this move?"
"No, no, no, there's no deep meaning. She's just trying to catch one by one." I immediately waved my hand and responded with a lot of resentment towards my opponent, the King.
After thinking about it, I asked again: "By the way, when did you pass the level of the giant stone man?"
"I can't remember clearly." My king tilted his head slightly. After all, she didn't even know how long she had been here. She thought it was only half a year.
"About half of the time now." She said with certainty after recalling for a moment.
"Half of the current time, that is, about six to eight months, which is more in line with the time it takes for a test, if the Stoneman Giant General is really the last level." I gritted my teeth in anger, and I was already in purgatory. It's so difficult. What is the little king thinking in his head?
"Fan, don't be angry. I still feel that even if something goes wrong here, it's not King Arthur's fault."
My king has great trust in her senior. As a victim, she actually comforted me. How kind this is. I was so moved that I almost cried. At the same time, I wanted to crush the little king into a bowling ball.
After thinking for a while, I clenched my fist and said, "Okay, Artoria, you go take a rest and recharge your batteries. Let's go together. I want to see how powerful that stone bump is."
"Fan." Artoria's soft little hand gently pressed on the back of my hand and shook her head.
"This is the test given to me by Lord King Arthur. I can do it."
"Artoria, don't be brave. The enemy at the pinnacle of world power is too powerful. Besides, didn't we work together in the first test?"
"The first test is not so much a test for me as it is the reincarnation ceremony of King Arthur. Without it, there is no way to succeed. Now, I hope to use my own strength to gain the recognition of King Arthur." I Wang shook her head stubbornly, and at the same time looked at me with longing, hoping that I would let her continue to struggle and try.
"Okay, give me a reason to convince me, and I'll let you try again alone." Knowing that my king has a stubborn temper, I won't force it, I just hope she won't be reckless.
"Is there a reason? Maybe there is one. When I defeated the Stoneman Giant last time and the Stoneman King came, I seemed to see the Stoneman King City behind it. There was a conspicuous entrance not far away. King Arthur would never Arrange an impossible test for me. I think this clue is the breakthrough point. It does not ask me to defeat the Stone King, but tests my strength, wisdom, courage and determination as a king, allowing me to bypass the Stone King's blockage. , reach the destination.”
"Really?" I was deeply doubtful. How could Wang think so far?
"Fan, trust me."
Looking at Artoria's determined eyes, I was convinced by her.
"Well, if you can pass the test with your own ability, then it will be perfect. However, as the Stoneman King is the pinnacle of world power, it is difficult to escape, let alone getting around it. Extremely, you have to be extremely careful.”
"Fan, don't worry. Although the Stoneman King is very powerful, compared to its powerful state, its speed and flexibility are disadvantages. Because of this, I was able to escape from it several times."
"In that case, you can give it a try." I pinched my chin and thought for a moment, speed and flexibility? This is a big flaw, and with Artoria's powerful [all A] attributes, she might be able to bypass it.
"But Artoria, let's make an agreement first. You only have three chances. I don't want to force you. Time is really running out. You also know the current situation of the elves. You have been away for more than a year. Although the clan is still stable thanks to the efforts of Grandma Yalandlan and everyone, after all, you are the backbone, leader and flag of the entire elves, but you have not shown up for more than a year. The elves have always felt that I am so panicked that I must go back as soon as possible to appease people.”
"I understand, just do as you say. I will definitely be able to do it after three chances." Arturia lowered her head and thought about it, and felt that she had to go back as soon as possible.
"Then let's set off now."
"No, let's do it tomorrow." I said unexpectedly, having always stressed that time was tight, and then turned back to look at the maid serving beside me.
"Colgate, do you still have the food we brought?"
"Yes, Your Highness, the food reserves are quite sufficient."
"Then I'll trouble you to show off your skills once. Make some of Artoria's favorite food, let her have a good night's rest, and test her in the best condition tomorrow. The skills of the Twelve Knights may be good, but they are definitely not as good as yours. This maid who has served Artoria since she was a child is very good at it."
"As you command, Your Highness, I'm going to get ready." When I said this, a sense of sacred mission suddenly burned in Carole's body, and she stood up without Artoria's consent and prepared to go. .
"Fan, thank you." Seeing my attentiveness, my king was a little touched.
"Anyway, we are husband and wife." I blinked, smiled slyly, and wagged my finger in front of my king.
"Besides, I have selfish motives. Although it is important to go back and appease people's hearts, since we are reunited after a long separation, we must give some time to talk about our sorrows."
"Fan Zhen... his mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter." Seeing what I said so openly, my king, who is not good at expressing emotions, felt a little shy.
"Really? But I'm telling the truth." I crossed my arms and fell into deep thought.
Indeed, as an otaku, I used to passively deal with love. I seem to have made some progress over the years, and I must make some progress. After all, I am already the husband of four wives.
He has become more proactive towards his wives, but has become more passive and resistant towards other girls [outside the clutches of the harem elders], and his heart can no longer hold any more love.
