"I have been using his power to fight and protect along the way. I can understand that this is a noble heroic spirit."
Matthew put his hand on his chest and said seriously to Annuo.
"This is a noble and beautiful emotion. That's why when I see the battle between the Knights of the Round Table at the gate of the Holy City, I feel angry and sad. This is the emotion of the Knight of the Round Table who gave me power. It’s my emotion.”
"Since I have accepted this gift of power, it is natural for me to bear it along with my emotions. I have... prepared myself for it."
The shadows in the impression gradually overlapped, and Annuo's eyes were no longer serious, but instead cast an imperceptible layer of crystal clearness under the moonlight.
He looked normal and walked forward, not to touch Mashu's head, but to bend down towards Mashu.
"I would like to express my respect. Even without the power given to you, you will still be an excellent knight, Miss Matthew."
"As I said before, even if his true name is already revealed, I will not tell you here. It is something that you should discover by yourself. When that day comes, you will truly obtain this Noble Phantasm. the power of."
"...the name of Emmath Gilead."
Matthew nodded.
"I will."
The two knights looked at each other and smiled.
"Mr. Annuo called us here, probably not just because of this matter." Fujimaru Ritsuka interrupted the conversation between Mashu and Annuo at the right time.
Annuo's eyes turned to Fujimaru Ritsuka, and he nodded gently: "Yes, there are indeed other things."
"I asked a question before, asking if the hostility with the Lion King was not necessary, would you still join us in fighting against the Lion King? Mashu has already answered me, so as the Master, what is your answer? ?」
"We..." Roman's communication came in at some point, as if he wanted to say something.
"Doctor, shut up." Fujimaru Ritsuka hung up the communication in less than a second, and then said to Annuo without hesitation, "Mashu and I have always been on the same page. My thoughts, Matthew’s thoughts are also my thoughts.”
"It's not about being submissive to each other, but it's about being able to think of a certain point."
"You are a tacit understanding partner. I am very happy to see this." Annuo smiled, sat down, and his expression returned to normal, "What I will talk about next will be a matter of stance."
"King aside, I, Bindu, Bedivere, Percival and the other four Knights of the Round Table have the same goals and positions."
"The white dragon has not yet taken off, the knights have not tried their best, and the king's power cannot detect the reality at all. There are many more dangers in the Holy City than imagined. The root cause of the deterioration of this singularity is still far away from being found out. There’s a long way to go.”
"The three of them are my juniors. They are willing to discuss with me and communicate with the Lord of the Mountain in order to obtain enough combat power to fight against the knights of the Holy City again."
Annuo looked at his left arm with a complicated expression, clenched his fists, frowned, and spoke in a heavy tone.
"...Killing the Lion King and killing King Arthur is the task that the four Knights of the Round Table and I must complete."
"No, it should be said...a long-cherished wish, or obsession."
"Then, as a Knight of the Round Table, I should also regard this matter as my goal." Matthew took a step forward and looked into Annuo's eyes.
Roman seemed to want to say something, but after looking at the atmosphere and Fujimaru Ritsuka, he still didn't say anything.
He originally wanted to express his determination to Annuo, but Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to have overfulfilled this task.
No, it would be better to say that this is the bond that Ritsuka and Mash formed from the beginning, and it just blossomed here.
"This is not an idea based on this spiritual foundation, but my own idea."
"The Lion King's behavior...should be corrected. This is the best apology to this land and its people."
Listening to Mashu's firm and resounding words, the ones who were most deeply moved were not Fujimaru Ritsuka and Roman, nor Annuo, who was standing opposite Mashu.
But...
Hassan, the Cursed Arm, leaned against the mountain wall and used his breath to conceal his aura.
"Really..." He sighed.
"Although eavesdropping is not a good habit."
"But...how can I refuse this..."
"...You absolutely can't refuse, right?"
...
Dongzhi Village originally had not many villagers, only a few hundred people.
Now there is a sudden influx of a large number of new residents, and the originally empty village has become a little crowded in an instant, but it can still be accommodated after all.
The four people at the round table were arranged in the same room. It must be said that a small bedroom dug into the mountain wall was not suitable for four relatively strong men...
"Annuo Qing, if you lean closer to the wall again, can't you take off your chain mail..." Bindu was squeezed between Annuo and Percival, feeling a little desperate.
"No, this is already my biggest concession." Annuo huddled in the corner, looking at the ceiling quietly and dismissing Bindu's grinning opinion.
"Ahaha... As long as I can stay still for one night, I can sleep relatively peacefully." Bedivere said with a smile. In order to ensure that he could get a relatively good rest, he put Da Vinci The prosthetic leg made for him was temporarily removed and placed next to it along with several weapons.
Can't move for one night...
Although the four people have different personalities, this can be achieved relatively easily. The knights are a group that knows how to use their will to endure difficult environments. They have all experienced their own strong journeys.
You can fall asleep by closing your eyes and have a peaceful night together.
In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, four knights, no, it should be six knights, opened their eyes and sat up almost at the same moment.
"...Huh?" Mashu suddenly sat up. He was a little confused. He looked at his hands and was a little confused about the situation.
The time...probably four in the morning?
Next to her, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Da Vinci were still sleeping. Fufu lay on Da Vinci's face, and Da Vinci looked like he was about to suffocate.
After hesitating for a while, Matthew did not continue to sleep. He got out of bed quietly and walked out of his room. As soon as he left the room, he saw five other knights who had already put on their armor, including Storm. King Arturia.
Several knights looked at each other and smiled.
"Good morning, gentlemen." Arturia greeted as usual, her voice was very soft, because the villagers of the East Village were still asleep.
"king."
Matthew looked at the five knights and felt completely different from yesterday.
