On the endless grassland, a small sun suddenly appeared without any warning, breaking into the pleasant scenery suddenly and destroying the tranquility here.
"call--"
With a gentle but powerful breath, the flames that formed the sun gradually faded away, allowing a swordsman to appear here.
"Click..."
The swordsman first put the unsheathed black sword back into its scabbard, and then put down the girl in his arms who had not yet reacted.
"It should be okay to get here, right?" The astonishing aura on Li Ge disappeared, as if he had retreated from the extraordinary to the ordinary, and said: "Even if we return to Yaling, without knowing where we are,
, and it is unlikely to be found here immediately.”
After saying that, Li Ge looked at Artoria who was put down by him and asked.
"So, are you okay?"
This question did not immediately yield an answer.
I saw that Artoria was still looking at Li Ge blankly, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Li Ge frowned, raised his hand, waved it in front of Artoria, and said, "Maybe he was scared to death, right?"
"...You were so frightened that you were stunned." Artoria finally came to her senses, and while looking at Li Ge with complicated eyes, she said, "Have we escaped now?"
"Absolutely." Li Ge always felt that Artoria's attitude was a bit strange, but because he couldn't see anything, he could only say: "Although I still want to try that puppy's skills again, now that things have developed like this
The situation has reached a point where a temporary retreat is not unacceptable.”
Hearing this, Artoria looked at Li Ge with more complicated expressions.
"It's my fault." The elf girl said with some dejection: "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have given up the great situation and chose to retreat."
In the battle just now, Li Ge clearly had the upper hand. If he continued to fight, he might really win.
To be able to defeat the clan leader of the Fang Clan and defeat the strongest warrior who is hailed as a brave man by the fairies of the Fairy Country is an extremely brilliant achievement and honor.
But because of himself, Li Ge had to give up the fight and choose to retreat. This fact really made Artoria a little depressed.
However, Li Ge didn't think so.
"I was the one who brought you into that battlefield. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have encountered such danger. In this case, it is only natural that I will be responsible for your personal safety." Li Ge said very
He said calmly and without arrogance: "Besides, do you really think that if we continue to fight like that, I will win?"
Hearing this, Artoria became confused.
"Isn't it?"
Artoria was sure that she was right. In the battle just now, Li Ge had an advantage.
As long as he keeps suppressing Woodworth like that, until Woodworth can no longer defend himself, Li Ge will be able to win in one fell swoop and defeat the clan leader of the Fang Clan.
Arturia was too naive when she thought like this.
"Although I temporarily suppressed the puppy by continuously using the twelve sword-shaped combat methods of Breath of the Sun, but even if I keep suppressing it like that, I will not be able to win the final victory."
Rige shook his head and told Artoria this.
"No matter how many times I cut him or how many times I slashed him, the layer of protection on his body was always intact and not shaken at all."
"In other words, I didn't hurt him from beginning to end, let alone break his defense."
"His kind of defense is not a skill, but an inexplicable mysterious power that has always existed. In this case, unless I find the right method, the best I can do is to tie with that puppy, and I will definitely win.
Can't win."
Otherwise, Lige would not have chosen to retreat.
Although he liked exciting and exciting scenes, he could not break his opponent's turtle shell, which made the fight a bit boring. In addition, Artoria was really not suitable to stay there at the time, so Li Ge simply took his people with him.
Retreat together.
He has basically made up his mind.
"If I want to defeat that puppy, I have to find a way to break through the layer of protection on his body first." Li Ge said: "Otherwise, even if we meet again next time, the outcome will still be indistinguishable.
"
Artoria nodded in understanding.
"Perhaps that is the protection of the great goblin level?" Artoria said to Rige: "Fairies are naturally mysterious creatures, and sometimes they also provide protection to others, allowing them to gain certain special abilities."
Li Ge nodded.
The protection of fairies is nothing unusual, at least in this world.
If nothing else, let’s just talk about King Arthur in the British legend. The invincible knight king has the protection of the lake spirit and can walk freely on the water.
Artoria also possesses special protection as a Paradise Fairy, which is a protective power that can bless life and protect the destiny of the object from all kinds of filth.
Just now, the reason why this silly fairy girl was not affected by Li Ge's time magic may be because of this protective relationship.
As a Huiyaling, Woodworth will be protected by some kind of great fairy-level power, which is normal.
"In the original work, that layer of protection seemed to be able to withstand even a full blow from the holy spear, right?"
Li Ge thought silently.
"Finally, how was that layer of protection broken?"
It seems that he was poked casually by a certain goblin with a special identity, and it was revealed in the end, right?
In other words, in the original work, the layer of protection on Woodworth's body was inexplicably broken.
"How do I break through that layer of protection?"
Rige couldn't help but fell into deep thought, and was awakened by Artoria after a while.
"Although you didn't win, it's quite impressive that you were evenly matched with that Woodworth!" Arturia seemed to have cheered up again, and smiled happily: "Maybe
Maybe you can suppress that Lancelot!"
"Lancelot?" Li Ge narrowed his eyes and didn't know what he thought of. He suddenly smiled and said, "I will try it if I have the chance."
"Yes, really?" Artoria was immediately confused.
I just said that, but you still have the idea to try it?
Are you really a fighting maniac?
"Let's not talk about the puppy. I will slowly think about how to take care of him." Li Ge looked around and said, "Now, let's think about what we should do next."
Artoria suppressed her smile slightly and looked around as well.
What comes into view is the endless prairie, with nothing but grassland.
"Where is this place?"
Arturia said with a confused look on her face.
"I don't know." Li Ge said irresponsibly: "I just teleported several times in one direction. As for where we were teleported to, I don't know at all."
It would be better to say that even if it was clear, Li Ge might not be able to distinguish it.
He had just arrived and had no idea about the topography of the Fairy Country, the location of the cities, or how the country was specifically distributed.
"I can only tell you that Tintagel should be in this direction."
Rige pointed to one side of the grassland and told Artoria.
"Tintagel..."
Arturia looked in that direction, as if she was seeing the village where she had grown up, and her mood took a turn for the worse.
Seeing this, Rige knew that Arturia was remembering the stupid cannibalism that happened in Tintagel.
"I said, don't you think that the village became like that because of your own fault?"
Although he thought it was unlikely, when he thought that this woman still had a certain attachment to that kind of village, Li Ge couldn't help but ask this question.
If Artoria really thinks so, then Li Ge can only say that she is no longer a bad person, but a true holy mother.
Fortunately, Artoria hasn't reached that point yet.
"I'm just thinking, why can we kill people who have lived together for so many years?"
Artoria showed a confused expression again.
To be honest, Artoria's confused look looks quite similar to Liz's.
Therefore, Li Ge unconsciously reached out his hand and touched her head.
"I said, this is the goblin." Li Ge said calmly: "The thinking of the goblin is incomprehensible to normal people."
"You mean, I'm a normal person like you?" Artoria said happily, "I'm obviously a fairy too."
"Who knows if you fairies from the paradise think the same way as the fairies in this fairy country?" Li Ge narrowed his eyes and said: "However, as far as I know, you and another fairy from the paradise think the same as this country.
Compared with the goblins in it, it is indeed different."
These words made Artoria open her eyes wide.
"Another fairy from paradise?" Artoria looked at Rige in shock and said, "Aside from me, are there other fairies from paradise?"
This is really a very shocking thing.
To this, Rieger could only say.
"If you want to ask me if there is anything, then I can only answer you, yes." Li Ge said lightly: "As for who she is, you will know later. Telling you now will only make you feel more confused.
."
After saying this, Li Ge changed his tone.
"Let's get back to the original topic." Li Ge looked at Artoria and said, "What are you going to do next?"
"Do you want to go where you want to go?"
"Are you going to go on a pilgrimage as planned?"
If possible, Artoria really didn't want to think about this question.
Because, she has begun to wonder what she should do better.
"...I have always thought that when I turn 16, I will leave the village and embark on a pilgrimage." Artoria whispered: "Now that I have finally left the village, should I go on a pilgrimage?"
Going on a pilgrimage trip, I really don’t know.”
In the past, Arturia wanted to embark on a pilgrimage, not because she wanted to save Britain and the Fairy Kingdom, but because people around her expected so.
Everyone wants her to go on a tour.
Everyone wants her to ring the six pilgrim bells as the child of prophecy.
Therefore, Artoria complied, and that was it.
But now, those who wanted her to embark on the pilgrimage have disappeared together with Tintagel, which was reduced to a sea of fire. In this case, is it necessary for her to ring the pilgrimage bell?
Artoria really couldn't understand.
Under such circumstances, Li Ge suddenly said this.
"If you really don't have a plan, why not try ringing those pilgrim bells."
When these words came from Li Ge's mouth, Artoria was stunned.
"Why?" Artoria said in great surprise: "Didn't you say that the fairies in the Fairy Kingdom are not worth saving?"
"That's right." Li Ge did not change his statement, but said: "But ringing the pilgrim bell and saving the goblin country Britain are two different things."
Li Ge, who is familiar with the original work, naturally knows what the pilgrim bell is.
"Ringing the pilgrim bell is actually a ritual that releases your power as a fairy in the paradise."
Li Ge's words made Artoria hold her breath.
"Liberating...the power of the fairies of Paradise...?"
Arturia murmured.
"That's right." Li Ge nodded and said: "You are not born with amazing power like other fairies. Instead, like humans, you can become stronger with age and exercise.
"
"But this doesn't mean that your strength can only be improved through exercise."
"If you can ring the Pilgrimage Bell, you can gradually release your power as the Fairy of Paradise."
"Therefore, the Pilgrimage Bell is actually a prop used to make you stronger. The more bells you ring, the stronger you will become."
Rige told Artoria about this.
"Is there such a thing?" Artoria felt as if her knowledge had been subverted, and after coming back to her senses, she looked at Rige in surprise and said, "How do you know these things?
"
Speaking of which, the mysterious human being in front of me has shown that he knows some secrets several times before, right?
Does he know a lot of things?
He seems to know everything about the Fairy of Paradise, the Pilgrimage Bell, the Pilgrimage Tour, the Son of Prophecy, the Savior, etc.?
why is that?
Arturia subconsciously stared at Li Ge, and the vision in her eyes was reversed.
However, the moment he was stared at by Artoria, Li Ge made a move without hesitation.
That is, flick her forehead.
"Crack!"
The bent fingers hit Artoria's smooth forehead hard, causing the girl to scream in pain.
"You were almost ruined by those eyes, but when you have questions, you like to stare at others with those eyes. Isn't this a good habit?"
Rige rolled his eyes at Artoria, causing Artoria to cover her forehead and glare at Rige with tears in her eyes.
Li Ge ignored the goblin girl's silent accusation, pursed his lips, and said this.
"Actually, like you, I was not born in the fairy country of Britain, but came from somewhere else."
As soon as these words came out, Artoria took a breath.
"You, you were not born in the Fairy Kingdom?"
Artoria was really surprised this time.
"Yes." Li Ge nodded calmly and said, "So I know a lot about this country, and I know a lot about you, and I also know a lot of dirty things about goblins."
"Of course, you know what you know, but that's not why I'm here."
"My arrival has nothing to do with your mission, your identity, or this country. It's just an accidental trip."
"You don't have to worry that I have ulterior motives. My encounter with you and everything that has happened so far is really an accidental and natural development."
In these words, Li Ge left a lot of suspense.
But that's not important.
The important thing is that Artoria can see that this is not a lie.
"Do you need me to tell you more?"
Looking at Arturia's eyes that gradually became complicated but brightened, Li Ge smiled slightly and said this.
"...No, no need."
Arturia stroked her forehead and smiled after a while.
"Just knowing this is enough."
That's right, just knowing this is enough.
"Okay." Li Ge nodded and said, "Maybe you are still a little confused now and don't know what to do. This is not surprising."
"However, no matter what you want to do in the future, you must first find ways to improve your strength. That will definitely not go wrong."
"Whether you want to save the Fairy Kingdom and defeat the queen in the future, or you don't want to do anything but just want to live and not be implicated by your identity as the son of the prophecy, you need to have the strength to guarantee it."
"Without power, even if you do nothing, you may be punished by people sent by the Queen in the future, such as Woodworth."
In this way, Rige expressed his thoughts to Artoria.
"I think you can ring one or two pilgrim bells first to give yourself a certain degree of strength and understand the country to a certain extent, and then decide what to do in the future."
"Of course, this is my idea, just a suggestion."
"What you want to do is ultimately up to you."
After saying that, Li Ge said no more.
"…………"
Arturia also fell into deep thought and stopped talking.
Both of them became quiet. Although they stood facing each other, their eyes were not on each other.
After a long time, Artoria asked Rige.
"What about you?" Artoria looked directly at Lige and said, "What are your plans next?"
Li Ge suddenly blinked and smiled.
"As for me, as long as someone can fight with me, I will be satisfied."
Having said this, Li Ge raised his eyes and looked at the other end of the horizon.
"If possible, I would like to go to Camelot to meet the queen and those fairy knights."
