【45】Another possibility
Arturia is indeed not too far away from Tony.
After entering the fantasy world, Tony found that the steel helmet on his body was missing, and he was now wearing a modern suit.
He first searched the battlefield carefully to make sure that Artoria was not seen, and then walked cautiously in the direction where he could see the town in the distance.
However, it is a pity that Tony is not a soldier after all. Without Jarvis, he would be useless in counter-investigation and pay attention to dangers. So he was caught by the soldiers after walking a little.
The soldiers brought him to a knight on a horse holding a luminous sword, and escorted him to report seriously: "Sir, we found a suspicious one on the battlefield..." As they spoke, the soldiers gave Tony a disgusted look. "Comedian."
Fuck you comedians! You are the comedian! Tony endured it and tried to pretend to be silent.
The knight on the horse raised his hand and pulled off his helmet, lowered his head to look down at Tony, but only glanced lightly and turned away: "I have been exercising for a long time...but I won't be an enemy. I am too weak."
Tony was stunned for a moment, and then became extremely angry. Hum if only my armor were here...
But calm down and analyze it carefully. Based on what she faced, this should also be a scene that Artoria feared. Then Artoria may not know this person.
The soldier next to him calls this knight "sir", so he must also be a person with a high title.
While Tony quickly went through it in his mind, the knight also waved his hand to the soldiers to take Tony down: "But for safety reasons... take him to the shelter, keep an eye on him, and make sure there is no problem before talking."
The soldier nodded, and then took Tony away without letting him say anything. Fortunately Tony didn't care, he was focused on another thing now: "Hey brother, do you know where King Arthur is now?"
Tony thought about many answers from the other party, maybe disdainful, angry, or tolerant, but the only thing he didn't expect was that the soldier looked at him strangely and said: "King Arthur? I have never heard of this king... What do you want to say? Is it King Uther?"
No King Arthur? ! How can it be? ! Tony was in pure shock, and the soldier agreed that he wanted to ask King Uther, so he sighed sadly: "King Uther is dead..."
"It's a pity that King Uther has no successor, only a princess obsessed with magic, Morgan le Fay."
What? How can it be? Tony only felt that his cognition was confused. He hurriedly grabbed the soldier and asked: "Where is the Sword in the Stone? Where is the person who pulled out the Sword in the Stone?" He could not forget the Arturia he saw in his dream. In the scene of pulling out the sword from the stone, how could such a person disappear?
The soldier looked at him with more and more strange eyes: "The sword in the stone... is the sword in the stone placed by the greatest magician Merlin, isn't it that no one can use it?"
The soldier seemed to have misunderstood what he meant: "Do you want to try to pull out the sword in the stone? Merlin said that only the future king can pull out the sword, but no one has been able to pull it out... Maybe the one who is destined to be able to pull out the sword has never been able to pull out the sword. He who draws his sword to defeat the humble king must be timid, for he has never appeared."
"It's enough for us to rely on Mr. Gawain and the others." The soldier smiled proudly but sadly.
Mr. Gawain... Gawain of the Knights of the Round Table.
This is the exact opposite of the past that Tony knows.
But he felt that he actually didn't know why it was like this - because this was a scene that Arturia was afraid of.
——If Artoria had not pulled out the sword in the stone, she would not have become the king.
Tony stopped talking for the rest of the journey. This strange contrast made the soldier look at him several times. Until finally Tony stood at the shelter, surrounded by women and children, with only a few men including him.
Tony sighed, a little confused about what to do next.
At this time, the clang of armor clashing was heard outside the door.
The women made a fuss with each other, and their eyes were fixed on the door, as if they were expecting something. Tony only vaguely heard them repeating "Al" and "Sir" many times...
Tony curiously followed the women's gaze and looked sideways at the door. The next moment the door was pushed open, and a knight with blond hair and blue eyes, whose armor was still stained with bloodshot eyes, walked in. Even though he still carries all the evil auras of the battlefield, the gentleness and kindness on his face seems to melt them away.
However, Tony stood up in shock the moment he saw the knight.
Among the group of people, the woman was about to come over, the man was still sitting, and Tony Stark stood up suddenly, which was particularly obvious. The knight also looked at him curiously, but his eyes seemed a little dazed when he looked at him.
This is Artoria.
Tony recognized the girl immediately, but just by looking at the way Artoria didn't recognize him at all, he knew that directly recognizing the person wouldn't work. Therefore, he thought for a moment and then said to Artoria with pretense of respect: "Sir, excuse me, but I have important news for you. It's something important about you."
Arturia frowned, not looking very convinced. When Tony saw that Artoria looked wrong, after thinking about it, he stepped forward and whispered: "Someone once said that there is a contract between you and me. Although I can't feel it, if it's you, you should be able to Bar."
Artoria's eyes suddenly opened wide, she took a step back and stared at Tony silently, and softly said after a while: "Come here."
Artoria is the daughter adopted by Knight Kai's parents. Although she doesn't know why, she grew up learning fighting and military skills. When King Bei appeared, she had expected who would pick up the sword in the stone, but no one could pick it up.
Did the red dragon that was supposed to appear in theory abandon Britain? Artoria couldn't believe it, but her hope gradually faded away as time passed.
Even so, Artoria still wants to save her beloved Britain, her country. So she put on her battle armor, tied up her hair, called herself "Artoria" as a man, picked up weapons, and started fighting.
Her brother Kai once touched her head sadly and apologized, saying that he could not give her a happy country and could only force her to give up her identity as a woman and fight.
But it doesn't matter. For Arturia, as long as she can protect Britain and the people of Britain that she loves, being a woman is nothing.
