The immortal death knight failed to achieve the ending of the heroic spirit

Chapter 23 Mina: Could he be my peer? (Pagoda Xuan reward added )

The River of Drakai, close to the river bank, suddenly burst out a series of bubbles.

Then, a head surfaced first. With wet black hair falling on his head, Menechel shook the water droplets off his face and moved closer to the shore. Finally, he emerged from the Drakhai River.

With his left hand holding Gareth's back collar, Arturia with her eyes still hanging on his body, Menechelle couldn't help but laugh. He patted their faces and said, "We're already ashore, no need to hold your breath anymore." .”

Gareth opened her eyes in confusion, and she spat out the sewage that had choked her mouth. Then the Dog Fairy remembered something again and puffed up her face: "There is no such thing as Artoria-sama's doll!" It’s a phantom!”

Of course, no goblin would prepare something that everyone wants in advance. It must be an illusion caused by desire - but this Drake can't even understand his desire.

Seeing that Gareth was fine, he turned to care about the other guy who never opened his eyes.

"Artoria?"

he called softly.

But Arturia didn't reply, she just hugged his waist and sat down on the river bank.

——Oops, could it be that the water got into your lungs?

Menechelle immediately lowered his head, but as soon as his head came closer, he met a pair of opened holy green eyes.

"Wake up..."

But before Menechelle could finish her words, Arturia's hands that were hugging his waist suddenly reached out, hugged his face, and at the same time brought her own face up.

From Gareth's perspective, the two of them seemed to be kissing each other. The canine goblin's eyes widened and he covered his mouth with his hands.

However, Menechelle, whose head was being held by Arturia, sensed something was wrong. Because those hands were shaking.

The girl's trembling voice whispered in his ears: "That goblin...is the goblin on the bridge still there?"

It's the wolf-headed goblin.

Menechelle immediately remembered the goblin who had been standing beside him before he jumped into the river.

He remembered that when he fell into the water and picked up Artoria, the other party was not trying to grab some non-existent hair accessory, but the first time he approached, after confirming who he was, she Hugged him.

If we rule out the possibility that I am the illusion of Artoria's desire, then there is only...

Menechelle glanced at the bridge, where the wolf-headed goblin in a crisp suit had disappeared.

"Don't worry, he has left."

He answered in the same soft voice, patting Artoria's back soothingly, but his voice quietly became deeper without even him noticing.

"do you know him?"

To make Artoria choose to jump into the river rather than stay by that guy's side, that fang fairy must have done something very excessive to Artoria.

After hearing that the goblin had left, Arturia slowly raised her head from Menechelle's arms.

After hearing the conversation, Gareth belatedly told the two guys that they were not kissing. She put down her hand covering her mouth in disappointment, and came forward just in time to hear Arturia. the words said.

"He is the leader of the Fang Clan, a hundred species of Yaling like Murien, Woodworth."

"Ah, is that Mr. Woodworth!"

Suddenly, Gareth also showed a surprised expression.

"Is it the rumored man who was able to defeat the Great Calamity on his own hundreds of years ago and who controlled the Queen's Army and the Oxford Dining Hall? Mr. Woodworth, the leader of the Fang Clan!"

Countless prefixes suddenly popped up from Gareth's mouth. Looking at Arturia's dazed but numb expression, Menechelle knew that she probably didn't know as much as Gareth did.

So, he chose to ask Gareth:

"That Woodworth, is he strong?"

"Of course he is very strong." Gareth affirmed in a matter-of-fact tone: "Although Lord Woodworth rarely takes action now due to the appearance of the Fairy Knight and his increasing age, according to outside speculation, he is still recognized as The Fairy Kingdom has the strongest combat power. If the Queen's Army is the sword of Britain, then Lord Woodworth is the "Britain's Blade." "

"And..." Gareth suddenly lowered his tone: "I heard, just heard, that Mr. Woodworth is actually deeply in love with Her Majesty the Queen."

"Haha, as a minister, I am still in love with you..." Halfway through speaking, Meneshel suddenly stopped laughing. He blinked, recalling what Gareth had just said about the experiences of the goblin named Woodworth.

The strongest combat power, surpassing all of Britain at a young age...

Britain's sword...

Fighting decreases as we age...

The role was replaced by the Knights of the Round Table...

And, the monarch who loves him...

Menechelle's pupils shrank suddenly.

——That kobold, could it be my peer in this world?

——"I" would actually be loyal to and even like that disgusting woman Morgan? Just thinking about it makes me sick.

"...Menechel, what's wrong with you?"

Artoria, who was originally listening to the Woodworth scandal, felt that the hand stroking her back suddenly stopped moving. When she turned her head, she found that his eyes were staring straight at the empty space in front of her, revealing a look that seemed to have seen the dead elf. exaggerated expression.

"No, it's nothing."

Forcing himself to calm down, Menechel comforted himself that he was not yet sure that Woodworth was him in the Lost Belt.

He stared seriously into Artoria's eyes:

"But if you just saw a powerful goblin, you wouldn't choose to jump into the river - that man named Woodworth must have done something terrible to you."

"Ah...haha, it doesn't matter. I did jump after seeing what I wanted, and how could a little fairy like me--" Before Artoria could finish her words, she saw Mi Naichelle curled her fingers at him as if to hit her forehead. She closed her eyes and hurriedly spoke:

"Yes, he burned my hometown and killed many goblins. Even Grandpa Hector..."

There was no familiar pain in her forehead. Arturia opened her eyes and looked at Menechelle tentatively.

"Why didn't you tell me just now? As long as you tell me, I will definitely help you."

"That's right." Gareth also nodded, but she showed an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, Lady Artoria. If I knew that Woodworth had done such an outrageous thing to you, I just... would definitely help You scold that piece of shit together."

"This is already very close to Camelot City. If a conflict breaks out here or with Woodworth, will it affect subsequent actions? There is no need for me..."

Boom!

The violent shudder that had not been struck before fell at this moment. Although it was very light, Arturia covered her forehead with an aggrieved expression. She didn't understand why she still had to be slapped on the forehead even though she had told the truth.

"Be considerate? Don't learn these nonsense. Can you be happy by abusing yourself?" Menechelle snapped his fingers. He only seeks transparency when doing things. Sometimes, if other people's goals can make him feel happy, then even if Even if she gave up her own plan, Menechelle was willing to help.

However, he approvingly touched the place where Artoria had just been touched by him: "Look, you are very good, you take the overall situation into consideration much better than me."

Arturia, who had her head suddenly rubbed, pursed her lips tightly and did not resist, but she still muttered: "Really, I'm not a child anymore, can you please stop praising me for whatever happens to you. "

"Next time, if you have any grievances, don't hold it in your heart. Tell me and I will help you." Menechelle smiled and ignored it. At this time, he had already used magic power to dry the clothes of the three of them. After a pause, he continued without changing his expression:

"Also, next time you see that bitch, I'll kill him for you."

However, it is a pity that it is impossible to catch up with Woodworth immediately. At this time, groups of goblins wearing iron armor had gathered beside the bridge. They were the Queen's Army.

Bad news, they sealed the bridge to prevent any goblins from coming near.

The good news is that the Queen's Army was not ordered to capture or clean up Artoria. They were just following Woodworth's order to salvage the goblins who fell into the water.

However, the Queen's Army banned everyone from passing until the salvage project was completed.

After asking about the reason, Gareth relayed the cause and effect to Menechelle.

"Then...are there other cities around?" Menechel asked.

"From the other direction of the river, you can go to Norwich by taking another bridge." Artoli said.

"Norwich." Menechelle suddenly became energetic: "Okay, let's go to Norwich first."

　The name of the River Drakai can be passed down because Drakai prefers humans. Humans who fall into the water can often come ashore before drowning, so the name can be passed down.
