Around 11 p.m., the Great British battleship, the Attack on Palamides, was in the VIP cabin dedicated to King Arthur.
"You actually made the matter so big." The King of Knights was listening to the other party's report on the phone, his face already frighteningly gloomy: "Cameron, I have told you a long time ago, I want you not to interfere too much in this matter.
Things. Did you listen?"
"But, Your Majesty——"
"The girl ran away. She is unwilling to participate in the [Deep Sea Festival]. In this case, respect her decision and don't force her to participate in this ceremony, or find someone else to replace her, right?" The Knight King continued: "That kind of barbarism
And stupid rituals have long been outdated, and are not acceptable to modern people. If we don’t hold rituals, the deep sea monster will come out to cause trouble? Exactly, I still want to meet that kind of monster. So what are you doing?
What? To persecute a girl for a dispensable ritual. To persecute a girl, to create such a big mess in Edinburgh and cause civilian casualties? Are you kidding me?
"
"In fact... the records do not show civilian casualties. They only show that residents were involved in the accident and then disappeared."
"It's a lot of nonsense." Arthur knew that those involved in the operation were unilaterally attacking civilians. Where did the "accident" come from? The missing civilians did not disappear by "accident", but were kidnapped: "The missing ones"
Where were the people sent? Tell me clearly!"
"No one knows. The troops involved in the operation only reported that some people were missing, but did not provide details." The other party replied, "And I doubt that these missing people can be found."
"So they not only have private troops, but also private secret bases. In my land, they are doing so many small things under my nose. Are these people impatient? Tell me! Who is behind this plan?
Main person in charge?"
"It's...Baron Morif."
"Isn't that guy a nobleman from the Glasgow area? What does he care about Edinburgh?"
"He has invested in the old town of Edinburgh before and owns most of the real estate in the old town."
"So you just let him take the lead in this matter and let him do whatever he wants on his own territory?"
"That's...his property. Legally, it must be handled by him."
"Fuck the law!" the King of Knights said angrily: "Listen. Now that I am not in Great Britain, I will temporarily let these guys act like monsters. But please tell Baron Morif. When I return to the country, I must follow
Let's talk about it. He has too many things that need to be explained to me."
"Of course, Your Majesty."
"I want you to find all the missing civilians without missing a beat. You want to see them alive, and you want to see their bodies dead. If Baron Morif makes any small moves in this matter again, I will take his head." Knight
Wang said in a cold tone: "If you understand, just go and get this matter done."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Cameron hung up the communication.
"I've only been away for a few days..." King Arthur also hung up the phone, covering his head and letting out a long sigh.
Of course, he had already noticed Elaine waiting outside the door of his room for a long time. The guy seemed to have heard King Arthur's rage in the room, so he was trembling outside the door (Arthur could roughly sense Elaine's actions using true vision).
, didn’t dare to knock on the door.
"Come in, Elaine." said the King of Knights.
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty." The white lion boy then pushed open the door and looked at the King of Knights who was still angry and cursing with a little panic.
King Arthur looked Elaine up and down, and what he saw was a young man who looked very similar to Leoport.
"I won't believe it unless I actually see it." The King of Knights squeezed out a meaningful smile: "Elaine, Elaine, you pervert. You became like this because of what you did with that kid.
That thing. This transformation is taken from his purest genes. You look exactly like him, Elaine."
"Hmm..." Elaine muttered as if a sore spot was touched.
"What? You look like a little white cat with long hair. You don't look like a lion at all." The King of Knights added, "If you don't have hair on your temples and jaws, you won't have the majesty that an adult lion should have."
ah."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you..."
"It's just a joke, don't worry about it." The King of Knights continued to lower his head to deal with the pile of official documents on his desk, and kept signing various documents with his hands.
"So you want to change your [wish]." The King of Knights added: "I'm very busy, please keep the story short. If you have any new wishes, you would not hesitate to give up saving your father Bors, but also let the Knights of the Round Table help you.
To realize it?"
"...Lei, Leo is still alive." So Elaine came up and said straight to the point.
"Oh." The King of Knights was almost unmoved.
"Your Majesty is not surprised at all?"
"It's expected, even though I have no evidence." The King of Knights said: "That child is so important to you, and it is worthy of your huge sacrifice to save him. If he is really dead, you should have completely collapsed long ago, maybe next time
I have been unable to move for several weeks. However, you can still appear in front of me in such high spirits, which proves that Leoport is still alive in some form. - Let me guess, is it the child's [Light Soul]?
?That thing is inside you?"
They were all guessed correctly. Elaine felt that King Arthur was a bit scary, and he nodded in fear.
"The people in the Sphinx Consortium don't know about this, and you haven't mentioned it to anyone on the Dawn, right?" the Knight King asked again.
Elaine nodded again.
"Very good. Keep it like this. Treat this matter as a secret between the two of us." Arthur said: "If people from the Sphinx Foundation know about this, it will make things more complicated. So.
, you want us to help you resurrect Mr. Leoport. Although it sounds fanciful, I think you already have a rough plan?"
"Two methods..." Elaine hummed: "Either ask Morgosi, or get the design drawings of [Master Golem]'s [Perfect Core]..."
King Arthur then stopped what he was doing and looked up at Elaine: "Where did you hear about [Perfect Core]?"
"Yes, there is wind blowing into my ears." Elaine replied.
"Ah, you little naughty boy." The King of Knights sneered: "Bedivere also talked to me before, you want to join the plan to get the [Vinland Map] hidden in the National Treasure Room of South Africa. So you want
It’s not [revenge] at all, but [rescue]. You want the [perfect core] hidden in the same treasure room.”
The white lion boy nodded again: "Yes, can you make one for me?"
"If you can help us get the design drawings, Great Britain can help you build the [Perfect Core], which can be considered as a reward for you." The King of Knights said, "Of course, no one can prove that that kind of thing can save Leo."
In the end, it is just a well-designed core of the golem. The body of the golem can naturally be made for you, no matter the cost. We already have good artificial human technology here, and we can make it exactly the same as the child's original body.
Even with flesh and blood, everything is possible. If this is what you want to change [wish], the organizer of the Round Table Trial will promise you this."
"It's so, so good."
"But if everything fails, even if the child's light soul is put into the golem, he will not be able to survive. What are you going to do?" King Arthur asked again: "If I am not wrong, Leo's
The light soul is already so weak that it may be extinguished at any time, right?"
"I...have done everything I can. If this still doesn't work, I can only accept my fate."
"That's the spirit, Elaine. Don't give up until the last moment." The King of Knights smiled calmly and said: "Go through the procedure to confirm it one last time. If you really want to change your [wish], become a Knight of the Round Table."
Instead of letting the Knights of the Round Table rescue your father Bors, they should rescue Mr. Leopold, is that right?"
"Yes, yes." Elaine nodded.
"But this can only be established after getting the [Perfect Core]. After all, I don't think that witch Morgoth can help you." The King of Knights said again: "Elaine, since you have obtained this lion-man transformation, you should
Can you also use that [virtual] ability? Show me that child's ability once."
The white lion boy nodded and tried to concentrate on activating [Void]. His body gradually became transparent.
"It's amazing. Isn't this basically a copy of that child's abilities?" The Knight King said to himself: "How long can [the virtualization] last, Elaine?"
"Hmm -" The white lion boy just wanted to speak, and his [Avatar] was lifted. I don't know whether it was because he was distracted and couldn't maintain it, or because speaking would cause the [Avatar] to be lifted.
"It seems that you still need more practice." Arthur shook his head and said: "I was originally optimistic about you, thinking that you could use this ability to pass through the heavily guarded South African National Treasure Room and steal what you want."
"I, I will work hard..."
"You can practice this move until you can retract and release it freely and it can last for more than an hour." King Arthur once again immersed himself in reviewing the official documents: "If you can't even do this, I have someone better than you, then take action.
There is no need to take you with me."
The "better candidate" he was talking about was naturally the Leopard Man Queeg. Leopard claimed that he could maintain [Virtualization] for more than three hours, and he had already practiced [Virtualization] to perfection. In comparison, the current Yi
Ryan can only be considered a liability.
"I, I can practice..." the white lion boy said, "Give me some time."
"Then you'd better hurry up, the plan will start within two days." The knight said: "I have already negotiated with South Africa to allow our mission to enter. Once this matter starts, it cannot be canceled. If you do
No, we won't wait for you. In addition to practicing [Aetherialization] well, you'd better learn to skillfully transform yourself into a human appearance. It is extremely difficult to get you orcs into South Africa.
What's more, the South African government has explicitly banned the entry of lions. If you continue to show off this face to others, you will definitely not be able to enter South Africa."
"I, I understand." Elaine replied. This is also a major difficulty. After all, he is stuck in this lion-man transformation now, and there is no way he can change back.
"Stand up wherever you fall, Elaine." The King of Knights said earnestly: "The child's death has indeed dealt a great blow to you. But you also understand that he is not completely dead yet, and there is still hope."
A living hope. If you really want to save him, you can't keep thinking about the past and his body. You can never replace him, you just have to be yourself."
Probably because King Arthur had seen through her thoughts and subconsciousness, Elaine not only felt afraid, but also felt ashamed.
"But I...can't do it." He whispered.
"If you really want to save him, you can definitely do it. You never know how powerful you can be." The King of Knights said, "People become truly powerful only when they have something they want to protect. It's not because
They have become stronger, they just used all the [power] they already possess." (To be continued)
