When Arthur heard what Grand Duke Hall said, he was shocked at first.
"What? Impossible! The orcs just want the fragments from his body. This kind of thing only needs to be dug out and frozen in the heart. There is no reason for them to keep Bedivere alive and give him a chance to escape."
Arthur said.
"There is only one fragment on his body, Arthur." Hall analyzed, "The key fragments of the other six world walls are in our hands. If the orcs are smart enough, they will make good use of the child's life.
Maximize the benefits obtained. In other words------＂
"They kept Bedivere's life in exchange for the other six fragments." Arthur's eyes widened and he continued.
Bediwell is still alive! There is still a chance to save him!
All this may not be too late!
"...Hmph!" Arthur kicked the bunnyman away, and Ryder hit the stone wall of the prison heavily. "Dead bunny, you are lucky. If Grand Duke Hall hadn't interceded for you,
I would have chopped you into pieces a long time ago. ------ Count Cador, I will leave this guy under your good care. Don't let him escape until the matter comes to light."
"Yes, Lord Arthur." Kador, the Gaia knight on the side, agreed.
"Yes, really?!" Tristan's eyes glowed with hope, looking at Arthur. But he immediately lowered his head, "I don't have the right to be so happy. If it weren't for me singing against you, no one would
If you fall into an ambush, Bediwell will not be caught."
"That's not your fault," Arthur said, "I didn't insist on my opinion. It was my stupidity to let Bedi decide his fate by tossing a coin. It's all my fault."
"...After Bedi comes back, let's apologize to him properly." Tristan said, "Now we'd better try our best to find a way to save Bedi."
"Well." Arthur looked at Tristan and said seriously, "You know? Bediville is really lucky to have a friend like you. Please continue to be Bediville's friend and protect him in the future.
Is he okay?"
"Of course." Tristan said, wiping tears from his eyes.
late at night.
Bedivere quietly got up from the bed, glanced at Kovis, who seemed to be sleeping soundly, and walked out.
"No." Kovis's voice made Bedi tremble suddenly, "You absolutely can't escape. It only takes me ten seconds to run one kilometer. If you are confident that you can escape in an instant,
If it's several kilometers away, go ahead and give it a try. If you can't do it, just stay in bed. If you don't behave, I'll tie you up."
"I just want to go to the toilet!" Bedivere said angrily, "Unless you plan to let me pee on your bed!"
Early the next morning.
A knight knocked on the door and woke up Arthur: "The Grand Duke Hall invites you to have breakfast with him."
"Hmm?" Arthur rubbed his sleepy eyes, "Okay...I'll be right back."
It's still four o'clock in the morning. What are you doing so early!? Is Hall crazy?!
"Huh..." Tristan seemed to have been invited, but he didn't wake up at all. He was still dozing off while putting bread into his nose.
"I'm sorry, it's so early in the morning." Hall looked like he was in a hurry. He ate bacon and bread quickly, and mixed the orange juice with the food into his stomach. "You guys should eat quickly, we'll be there soon."
I'm going hunting."
"hunt?"
Five o'clock in the morning.
Arthur followed Hall out suspiciously, walking quietly in the jungle under the cover of the thick early morning fog.
"By the way, Arthur." Hall lowered his voice and said, "I watched your duel before. It seems that you have mastered your mind skills, but there is a huge loophole in the way you fight."
"Loophole?"
"You rely too much on your mental skills. You can only rely on the enemy's hostility to sense the enemy's attacks. If you do it well, you can indeed predict all attacks and make effective avoidance. But this is a passive tactic after all. If the enemy's speed
If it is faster than your body's reaction speed, or the enemy may also use the mind's eye technique, your fighting method will be very disadvantageous."
"I know that." Arthur promised, but he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, I don't want to do this if possible. But my thin body can't keep up, so I can only win through skills. This may be something I can do.
The only way to fight.
"Speaking of which, there are many animals in nature that use mind-sighting skills." Hall pointed to the swallows that were hovering in the air to catch flying insects. "These swallows are masters of mind-sighting skills. They can sense prey in the surrounding space."
They can detect the photon fluctuations caused by the enemy's hostility, and cleverly change their flight trajectories to avoid enemy attacks. If you don't believe it, try shooting them."
"Do you really want it? If you shoot them------"
"Don't worry, you won't hit." Hall said.
Arthur doubtfully raised his crossbow and shot several arrows in succession. He deliberately aimed each arrow at the swallow's flight path, and there was no reason why he could not hit it.
But the swallow really seemed to know Arthur's attack in advance, flying gracefully and skillfully avoiding the light arrow attack.
"It's my turn." Grand Duke Hall raised his light gun and fired only one shot. The light bullet hit the swallow. No, it was the other way around. It looked more like the swallow hit the light bullet head-on.
UP. It has no way of detecting Hall's hostility, so it can't avoid Hall's attack.
Arthur looked at the swallow that was stunned and falling, and asked in surprise: "How did you do it? You have to predict the trajectory of the swallow, and you have to suppress hostility and attack that place? Is it really possible?"
?"
"No, that's originally impossible." Hall said with a smile, "As long as a person has the intention to do something, there will definitely be a ripple in the world of photons. As long as there is something in the heart, there will be a certain ripple in the world."
To some extent, it has an impact on the world. What I can do is to throw away all the distracting thoughts in my heart and act based on instinct. That is the combat skill-------[heartless]."
"Unintentional?" Arthur gasped. Hall just got rid of the thoughts in his heart, and his attacks became unpredictable. Unpredictable attacks, for Arthur, were as deep and unpredictable.
In the dark world that has bottomed out, there is no way of knowing what terrible killings lurk in this darkness.
"Why are you telling me this? If you suddenly use this combat skill in a duel, I will be dead." Arthur said, "Are you telling me this to even out the gap in our strength?"
"It's to enable you to better face the battle you are about to face, but that is not necessarily the duel between us." Grand Duke Hall said mysteriously.
"What?"
"Anyway, that's all I have to tell you. I have other things to do--oh, just when I mentioned it, it came!" Hall lowered his body and hid in the grass.
Not far away, in the thick fog, there was the silhouette of a grizzly bear.
"That guy has been attacking passers-by recently. He is a heinous and murderous grizzly bear." Hall drew out his sword. "Maybe he is addicted to eating human flesh. This guy is hopeless. I am here to hunt it today."
Arthur didn't say anything. He was a noble knight, but he actually had the leisure to hunt grizzly bears. What kind of medicine was Hall selling in the gourd?
"You surround him from both sides, but don't take action. I'm going to cut off his head beautifully," Hall said.
Arthur and Tristan reluctantly followed the instructions and went around to both sides. Then they rushed out together and surrounded the big grizzly bear. Before the distracted grizzly bear could react, its head had already fallen on the ground.
On the ground.
Indeed, as Hall said, the cut is as smooth as a mirror, and the attack is crisp and clean. This cut...why does it look so familiar?
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Iceland, could you please freeze the body of this bear?" Hall said.
"Huh? Oh..." Tristan was still half asleep and answered vaguely while casting a freezing magic to freeze the bear's body firmly in the ice.
"Very good, our mission has been completed, let's go back." Hall picked up the huge ice block and said.
Arthur looked at Hall, "Grand Duke, you came out to hunt early in the morning, could it be as simple as explaining to me your combat skills and hunting bears? What on earth do you want to do?"
"No, it's just that simple." Hall denied.
"The way you cut off a bear's head is exactly the same as my swordsmanship. Why did you imitate my swordsmanship and cut off a bear's head? Is it just for fun?"
"Humph, Arthur, you are really a keen man." Hall laughed and said, "Well, since you want to get to the bottom of it, just come and confirm it with your own eyes. But you need to buy something first.
Take a slight detour."
Ten o'clock in the morning.
What Hall meant by "a little detour" turned out to be a "shopping spree" in the city. Arthur followed Hall gloomily, carrying countless shopping bags, large and small.
What's inside the shopping bag is what puzzles Arthur the most. As a dignified knight, when he goes out to the town to go shopping, what he buys is not swords and armors, but a lot of children's toys, children's clothing, and books. The clothes are also divided.
For boys and girls.
With this astonishing amount, it seemed that Hall either had more than ten or twenty children in his family, or that he was someone who doted on his children very much. Looking at this middle-aged man, Arthur couldn't help but have more doubts.
"Sorry, I need your help to get something. Is it heavy? We'll be there soon," Hall said.
It did arrive quickly. Hall stopped in front of a church-like building. While Hall was freeing his hand to ring the doorbell, Arthur realized that this was an orphanage.
