Although he made such bold words, it was obvious that Li Ge could not go to Camelot now.
Again, he had just arrived, and he hadn’t even figured out the terrain of the fairy country of Britain. Even if he wanted to use the [Teleport Gate] to go to Camelot, he couldn’t do it. In addition, it was dark again, and Artoria was beside him.
As a country elf with limited knowledge of the outside world, Li Ge could only make a temporary plan.
"Have a rest for the night, and then go to the nearest city tomorrow to replenish your supplies."
Unlike the goblins who do not need to eat, Lige still has to replenish his supplies. Although this problem can be solved with magic, he still wants to understand the terrain of the goblin country Britain. It is best to have a map, otherwise the actions will be connected.
Problems will occur.
Therefore, first find a nearby city and get the supplies and information you want there. This has become the first important goal.
Not only did Artoria have no objection to this, she even expressed it on the spot.
"I'm with you too!"
Obviously, this fairy girl is somewhat dependent on Li Ge, and at least for now, she definitely doesn't want to act alone.
"Then let's rest here for the night."
After making the decision, Li Ge found an open space without rocks or other obstructions and activated his magic here.
"[Creation Fortress]."
When this magic was activated, the ground shook.
"Rumble...!"
Accompanied by a rumbling and shaking of the ground, a huge and heavy tower rose up from the ground.
It was a building with thick double doors, countless spikes on the wall, and a demon statue glaring at the top. It was at least thirty meters tall, like a fortress, and like a towering tree.
Seeing the towering tower that suddenly rose from the ground in front of her, Arturia was frightened and screamed uncontrollably.
"W-what is this...!?"
The legendary savior shouted so rudely that he almost deafened the instigator on the side.
"What's the ghost's name?" Li Ge said quite dissatisfied: "Isn't it just a magic trick? As for this?"
But after hearing Li Ge's words, Artoria not only did not feel relieved, but also became incoherent.
"Magic? You call this magic?" Artoria shouted: "I never knew that such magic existed!"
In this world, magic and magic are two completely different concepts.
Magic refers to phenomena that transcend common sense and is a man-made supernatural power that reproduces miracles.
In short, this is the magic of this world, the mystery that can be artificially learned, practiced, exercised and improved.
However, this world also has the concept of magic, and it is distinguished from magic.
Although magic is also a kind of supernatural power, in this world, if a phenomenon can be realized through technological means, then it will only be called magic, not magic.
Take the magic that Li Ge masters as an example. The [Fireball] that he uses more often is a third-level range attack magic. But in the final analysis, it is a way to light a large-scale flame in a certain range to burn it.
The power of things.
The same thing can be done with technology mastered by humans, right?
Under such circumstances, the [Fireball] used by Li Ge will be regarded as magic in this world, not magic.
In contrast, those phenomena that are impossible to achieve with science and technology are the so-called magic in this world.
For example, [Time Stop], a magic that can stop the flow of time in the world, is currently impossible to do the same thing with human science and technology.
Therefore, [time stopping] can be called magic in this world, because it is a phenomenon that science and technology cannot yet achieve.
When a phenomenon can be realized with certainty by spending time and money, no matter how difficult the means to achieve it are, the supernatural power that can cause the same phenomenon will not be regarded as magic, but will only become magic.
Only when human civilization cannot realize this phenomenon anyway will this supernatural power become magic.
Therefore, with the advancement of science and technology, more and more things can be done with human hands, and the amount of magic becomes less and less. As a result, the amount of magic that still remains in this era is extremely large.
They are so rare that they can be counted on one hand.
With this in mind, Li Ge called the magic he used magic so that Artoria could quickly understand it.
By the way, in this world, people who use magic are usually called magicians, and people who use magic are usually called magicians.
Thanks to this, Li Ge can no longer claim to be a magician in this world. He must either call himself a magician or a magician. This is the easiest thing for people to understand.
However, even though Li Ge was so apt, Artoria still looked frightened.
no way.
Arturia had never heard of this magic trick of making a huge tower with just a few movements.
Fairies who are born with mysteries may be able to do it with their own strength, but please forgive me that Artoria is only a fledgling country fairy. She has never seen magic on this scale.
If Arturia was just a fairy, it would be easy to say, but the problem is that she also practiced magic herself.
As a fairy who was born unique, Artoria was able to become stronger by training herself since childhood and practicing magic under the guidance of "good Samaritans".
Therefore, Artoria can also use magic.
It was precisely because of being able to use magic that Artoria felt that what Rige had done now was really amazing.
It's a pity that Li Ge couldn't understand this feeling.
"Don't worry, you will be able to do things that I can't do in the future, and you may have to surprise me then."
Li Ge said this indifferently.
"Let's go in."
With that said, Li Ge took the lead and walked towards the direction of the giant tower.
"I……"
Seeing this, Artoria stood there for a long time, and then followed Lige towards the high tower with a look of incomprehension.
[Creation Fortress], as the name suggests, is the magic used to create fortress-type structures. It is the same as [High-level Prop Creation] and other magics, and both belong to the creation-type magic.
This magic is ranked at the tenth level. Once used, a huge thick tower will appear at the appropriate location selected by the caster, which can be used to rest or serve as a stronghold to resist enemy attacks.
Since this tower is called a fortress, its defense power is naturally extremely high. Even if it is subjected to repeated bombings using attack magic that is also at the tenth level, it can surely withstand for a period of time.
In "YGGDRASIL", some players even tried to use super magic to attack this kind of fortress. The results proved that, except for the super magic specially used to destroy buildings, pure attack super magic cannot be defeated in one shot.
Destroy this kind of fortress.
Because of this, many players like to use this magic to make temporary strongholds in the wild. However, if they want to maintain this fortress, they must consume magic power all the time. If they are facing a battle situation, few people will choose it.
He has maintained such a stronghold, leaving himself in a state of insufficient magic power.
Li Ge used it without any scruples.
He has already experimented that the magic power used to maintain the fortress can be instantly replenished by the automatic recovery of "Essence Healing".
In other words, even if the fortress is maintained, Li Ge's magic power will not be consumed, and it will be restored immediately after it is consumed.
In this case, Li Ge would naturally not have any scruples and use it however he wanted.
"Rumble..."
The steel door of the tower automatically opened when Li Ge approached, exposing the internal structure to Li Ge and Artoria.
After entering the giant tower from the gate, the first thing that strikes the eye is a spacious hall.
There is a double door on the opposite side of the hall. After entering, there is a passage. At the end of the passage, there is another double door. The magic lights of "Sustainable Light" are lit around it, making it very smooth for people to walk.
After the door at the end of the passage opened, a blinding light immediately shone out from behind the door, hitting Li Ge and Artoria.
Rige and Artoria walked in together and came to a circular hall.
There are clean white floors, high ceilings, and a spiral staircase in the center leading upstairs. The interior space has obviously been expanded and is much more spacious than what is seen from the outside.
"Shall we rest here tonight?"
Looking at this ultra-luxurious hall that looked like a noble mansion, Arturia stammered.
There are all kinds of furniture in the hall, including sofas, tables and chairs, and even a tea cart. Not to mention, it does look like a noble mansion.
Especially the upstairs with the spiral staircase. Even from Artoria's perspective, you can see the doors that look like high-end hotel suites. You can easily think of these doors.
What kind of luxurious room is there in the back?
"Yes, we will rest here tonight." Li Ge pointed to the rooms and said, "You can choose any of those rooms."
Hearing this, Artoria subconsciously retreated.
"No, no, no, no! I don't live there!" Arturia shook her head crazily and shouted, "I will never get used to that kind of place!"
After Artoria said this, Li Ge also discovered the problem.
To put it bluntly, no matter how extraordinary Arturia's origins were, she had not lived a very good life in the sixteen years before that.
She lived in a stable and was treated like a horse. The goblins in Tintagel only raised her as a horse. How could she have lived in such a good place?
For Arturia like this, if there is a place where she can not feel cold in winter and won't have two toes frozen off like in the past, then that place is already very good.
Now, Rige asked her to live in such a luxurious place. As a country elf whose treatment and living conditions were worse than those of human beings, Artoria would feel frightened because of this. That was inevitable.
"I can just find a corner here to stay!" Artoria tried her best to advocate: "For example, this place is very good!"
Arturia trotted directly to the darkness of the hall and nestled in the corner without moving.
He looked very much like a terrorist, more like an autistic person.
"...Are you sure you want to stay in a place like this?"
Li Ge looked strange.
"Sure!" Arturia nodded vigorously and said, "Compared to where I lived before, even this corner is like paradise!"
Because of her excessive emotions, Artoria even exposed her unknown treatment of life.
Normally, Artoria would not say this kind of thing casually.
Li Ge wanted to give Artoria a few words of advice, but seeing Artoria's frightened look, Li Ge knew that no matter how much he said, it might be useless.
This sudden increase in treatment from living in stables and dungeons to living in mansions and presidential suites will make everyone feel uncomfortable.
"It's better to give her a process of adaptation."
Li Ge thought for a while and finally decided.
"Since you don't want to stay in the room, I won't stay either." Li Ge came to the sofa, sat down, and said, "I'll sleep on the sofa tonight."
"How can this be done?" Artoria was stunned and said quickly: "This is your place, you should live in the room!"
"The principle is this. You can let the guests sleep in the corner of the hall, while I, the master, go to sleep on a comfortable bed. I'm sorry, but I can't do it." Rige shrugged at Artoria.
He said: "Unless you also stay in the room."
"I can't do this!" Arturia almost cried, and said aggrievedly: "If you let a country fairy like me live in such a luxurious room, I will definitely not be able to sleep tonight!"
"Then don't stop me." Li Ge couldn't help but said: "If you stop me again, I will squat in the corner like you, right?"
Arturia, who could see that this was Li Ge's sincere words, couldn't even say a word.
"Okay, go to sleep." Li Ge smiled at Artoria like this and said, "So many things happened today, no matter how energetic you are, you must be tired, right?"
"Go to sleep."
"When you wake up, everything will be over."
With these words, Li Ge lay down first, slept on the sofa, and closed his eyes.
"Um...you really don't want to go into the room...?"
Arturia made a weak voice in the corner, as if she wanted to persuade Rige to go to the room.
It's a pity that Li Ge didn't say a word. He seemed to have fallen asleep, and the rhythm of his breathing and the rise and fall of his chest became even.
Artoria looked at Li Ge intently for a while, and she didn't give up until she confirmed that Li Ge had really fallen asleep and was not pretending to sleep.
"What a weirdo..."
With such comments, Artoria felt as if she had lost all her strength, and she slumped down in the corner.
The floor was not cold at all, and the wall against the back also had a faint feeling of warmth, making one wonder if some magic had been applied to the floor and walls to make them so warm.
Feeling this warmth that she had never experienced in her residence before, Artoria's heart gradually relaxed.
As she relaxed, all the things that happened today came to her mind.
He was thrown into a dungeon and rescued.
I got to know Li Ge and said goodbye to Eckert.
Tintagel caught in the sea of fire...the villagers fighting among themselves...Woodworth's execution squad...the fierce battle between Li Ge and Woodworth...the sneak attack of the goblins of the Fang Clan...Li Ge's rescue...
…
These pictures and scenes kept reappearing in Artoria's mind.
"well……"
Her mood was extremely complicated, and she couldn't tell whether it was sadness or sorrow. Arturia let out a long sigh.
"The child of prophecy...?"
Arturia looked at herself nestled in the corner and laughed at herself.
"It really doesn't look like it."
After saying that, Artoria closed her eyes.
Perhaps because she had experienced too many things today, Arturia, whose head was full of distracting thoughts, soon felt sleepy.
Not long after, Arturia fell asleep.
…………
"————"
Sound of wind.
Very strong wind.
It's not the gentle breeze, let alone the comfortable spring breeze, but a storm that can blow people away and crush their consciousness.
When Artoria came back to her senses, she found that at this moment, she was in a storm-like wind, making her tremble all over and being bruised all over her body.
This is a storm that Artoria is very familiar with...a malicious storm!
"This is the scene again..."
Arturia, who was in the middle of the storm, made a small sound.
It seemed like crying.
It seemed like a moan.
The familiar malicious storm appeared in her sleep, torturing her, crushing her, and making her almost want to scream.
But this is also a common thing.
——"The world is a malicious storm."
This has always been Artoria's understanding.
Every time other people's malice attacks her, she will see a terrible storm and suffer mental torture like this.
I wanted to cry countless times, but I held back.
I wanted to shout countless times, but stopped.
Because Artoria knew that she had to endure it.
Otherwise, in this malicious world, you will definitely collapse.
Bear!
Bear!
Bear!
The little fairy girl told herself desperately while walking in the storm.
Until, a gleam of light appeared in the storm.
"...that is?"
Artoria stared blankly at the source of the light.
That's a small sun.
The sun shines brightly in the storm, driving away darkness and purifying malice, preventing this terrible storm from getting close to it.
"…………!"
The moment Arturia reacted, she ran towards the radiant sun.
Before I knew it, the pain disappeared.
Before I knew it, the storm was gone.
The fairy girl cried with joy and stretched out her hand towards the tomorrow.
That night, the girl had the happiest sleep in her sixteen years of life.
