Artoria slept peacefully, her even breathing rising and falling regularly.
It was so completely different from the one under Chen Xiaofeng's influence that Chen Xiaofeng couldn't help but squat down and observe this beautiful girl.
With delicate facial features, beautiful eyelashes, a small nose, and sexy red lips with seductive lines, Arturia also has a unique look like this.
His gaze stayed on Artoria's face.
Such a girl could be the King of Knights, and at the same time the King Arthur of Britain. Such a thing is unbelievable no matter how you think about it.
Chen Xiaofeng suddenly felt a desire to understand Arturia.
"Hmm..." Arturia let out a sigh, probably because she was sleeping on the sofa.
The extremely ordinary voice made Chen Xiaofeng think that Artoria was about to wake up, so he was startled, tensed his body and stood up.
However, Artoria's response was to make a mistake and continue sleeping.
"Huh~" Chen Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief.
No more disturbing. It’s better to let Artoria sleep peacefully. Thinking of this, Chen Xiaofeng picked up the instant noodles placed on the dining table...
Since he had been shopping all day and Artoria fell asleep early, Chen Xiaofeng freshened up and went to bed after eating instant noodles.
This is the first time Chen Xiaofeng slept in his own room after You and the others lived here.
Turning off the lights in the room, Chen Xiaofeng slowly closed his eyes.
…
The rays of the setting sun looked so beautiful on the grassland, but no one walking on the grassland at this time saw her beauty.
This is a strange grassland.
Different from the grasslands in northwest China that Chen Xiaofeng was familiar with, here there were tall windmills and sparkling lakes.
【Where is this...】
In the dark, Chen Xiaofeng was thinking this way.
【Is this... my dream? 】
The man walking on the grassland was walking towards here. Slowly, slowly, his face gradually became clearer.
But...just when Chen Xiaofeng was about to see the man's face clearly, the grassland in front of him returned to darkness.
【ah--】
A hollow voice appeared in Chen Xiaofeng's ears—to be precise, it was in Chen Xiaofeng's brain.
Chen Xiaofeng was somewhat familiar with this voice, and it felt a little familiar, just like the feeling that Minato brought to Chen Xiaofeng. It was warm, demure, and gave people a pure feeling of family.
【Do you want to know her?】
The female voice in the void asked.
Such a question made Chen Xiaofeng stunned. Although he did have such thoughts when he was awake before, he did not expect such a thing to happen so quickly.
Chen Xiaofeng stupidly did not respond, and the voice was not in a hurry, quietly waiting for Chen Xiaofeng's reply.
[While you are thinking...let me show you something...]
Chen Xiaofeng's dark eyes gradually brightened, and soon a virtual impression appeared in Chen Xiaofeng's mind.
A deserted street at night, a dark knight and Artoria wearing white armor. This is a battle. The black knight's attacks are aimed at the vital points, but in comparison, Artoria lags behind and barely resists.
Suddenly, the Black Knight almost perfectly threw a long pole at Artoria, an attack that even Chen Xiaofeng, who was watching from the sidelines, could not dodge...
Seeing that the long pole was about to pierce Artoria's armor...
Beep——
Like a television that suddenly tripped, the virtual influence disappeared before Chen Xiaofeng's eyes, and he soon became enlightened again.
It was still the same grassland, and the sunset looked particularly bright red.
Artoria Pendragon.
The girl who had just passed her coming-of-age ceremony was called out by people all over the country on that day.
It is not difficult to see that this was an era of war, and an empire perished - waiting to die under the invasion of many pagans.
This is the beginning.
The country lost the protection of the empire and soon split into smaller kingdoms.
Peripheral attacks by pagans, internal battles between tribes...
At this time, she was born as the king's successor. The king at that time believed the magician's prophecy and expected that there would be an excellent heir.
However, the child he gave birth to failed to live up to the expectations of the whole kingdom.
The reason is simple, it's not a boy.
Even if she is destined to be a king, she cannot inherit the throne unless she is a boy. The girl was fostered by a retainer and grew up as a child of a knight.
Although it is not a boy, the magician seems to be very satisfied with this child.
Originally, whether you are a boy or not has nothing to do with becoming a king. Even a girl can become a king.
And, more importantly, the magician believes that the fact that the girl must leave the castle before the prophesied day is the true proof of the king.
The girl grew up as his heir in the home of a simple and wise old knight.
This was not because the old knight believed the prophecy told by the magician, but because the old knight felt the same thing as his master in the girl. It was for this reason that the old knight made up his mind to raise this girl.
As a famous knight, I look forward to the girl's growth.
However, it seems that there is no need to expect anything. The girl just trains day after day just to be better than anyone else - just for this reason.
If this country, which is marching towards death, can be saved, and the only one who can do this is the king... then there is no need for anyone else to say anything, and the girl swears that she will wield her sword for this purpose.
Simple and pure reasons.
Then, the day of prophecy arrived.
In order to choose a new king, the king summoned all the outstanding lords and knights in the country. At that time, everyone guessed that since the best person was to be selected as the king, it must take many battles to decide, right?
However, what surprised everyone was that there was only a sword embedded in a stone prepared at the meeting point.
The hilt of the sword has gold inscriptions and the skin of an unknown animal. In addition, the sword is inlaid with countless luxurious gems.
"The person who pulls this sword out of the rock should become the King of Breton." Merlin, the magician of the kingdom, announced.
It seemed like a simple test! So many knights followed what was said and grabbed the sword.
But the truth is not that simple.
No one could pull it out, so the knights wanted to choose the king by fighting, that is, by force, as they had originally prepared.
But at that time, the girl was only a knight candidate and was not qualified to participate in the battle.
but……
The girl approached the deserted rock and reached out to the hilt of the sword without hesitation...
