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

Chapter 77 For this reason, I will send blessings to you who embark on the journey
Without taking a long break, King Arthur decided to go on another expedition and continue to expand the territory of Camelot.

But this time, the opponent took Gao Wen away, leaving Menechel to guard the capital.

Although there was no evidence, Menechel's intuition told that Merlin definitely told Artoria the news of his illness.

"This old man likes to talk outside when he has nothing to do."

Stretching out his right arm, Menechel looked at the oozing black cuticle on the skin. Although it had receded a lot compared to the beginning, the sharp black flakes still retained considerable coercion.

Suddenly, Menechel's ears moved, and before he could put on the arm armor, he covered his right arm under the wide cloak, and turned around, and Menechel faced the direction of the door.

The next moment, the door was pushed open.

After seeing the person entering the door clearly, Menechel slowly moved his left hand away from the sword hilt, but his small movements could not escape the girl's eyes.Looking at the blue eyes that rolled with her fingers, Menechel was a little embarrassed.

"Afriel, why are you here?"

Didn't he send the girl to go to Agguiwen to study? Even if she finishes her studies, she should go to train instead of coming to him with the character of a girl.

"Master Brother, Master Agguiwen is temporarily busy, so I left first."

It was only then that Menechel remembered that Arturia seemed to have stuffed Agravin into his knight order.

Could it be that Agguiwen is busy with training soldiers now?

"Brother, are you injured?"

Menechel blinked his eyes, his heart couldn't help sinking, he had already made the worst guess in the rolling of his eyes - now everyone in Camelot City already knew that he was injured. thing.

"How could it be? I have been staying in Camelot for the past few days. I can't guarantee it in other places, but in Camelot City, there are not many knights who can injure me."

Menechel wanted to struggle symbolically, but Afriel mercilessly opened her mouth and said, "My lord brother usually uses his right hand, but just now he grabbed the sword with his left hand."

As for the possibility of misplacing the sword, it may be in line with Menechel's carefree personality, but Afriel is very sure that her brother who wears armor and keeps the sword at hand even when sleeping will definitely not Make such a low-level mistake.

The expression on Menechel's face relaxed. Fortunately, rumors that she was not injured had already spread.

"Observation is quite careful, but it's just a small injury, and it will heal in a few days."

Feeling slightly better, Menechelle praised Afriel.Ben just put this picked up younger sister by his side for easy care, but Afriel is indeed very pleasing, and after studying with Agguiwen for a period of time, she has been able to share part of the work for Menechelle.

She even provided Menechelle with some refreshing drinks when she stayed up late to catch up with work—although she had repeatedly emphasized the uniqueness of her body to the girl, Afriel still insisted on the same routine as him .

Avril does not have the super high battery life of Minechel, and even her physical strength is a bit weaker than ordinary people. For this reason, Avril even helped Minechel cure his habit of staying up late for many years.

"It's nothing, there are rumors that my brother was assassinated again, and the injury must have been left from that time." Although Avriel's expression remained unchanged, she clearly felt the worry from the bottom of her heart: "In the future, my brother should Bring more guards."

Assassination?

I tried my best to recall the experience of the past few days, but I couldn't think of anything about it.In other words, since he was awarded the title of [First Knight], almost no assassination incidents have occurred.

"Guard? Do you think there is someone in Camelot who can protect me?" Menechel was not in a hurry to deny it, and those nonsense words became an excuse for Minechel to prevaricate at this time, saying , Menechel shook his head: "When the time comes, there will be too many people, but it will affect my actions."

It seems that the elder brother was seriously injured this time, and he didn't even hesitate to use such a lame excuse to hide it.

Camelot never left word of Menechel's assassination.What's more, in the past few days, Menechel went out and Afriel was with her.

Avriel pursed her lips, she clearly remembered the scene when Menechel met her not long ago when she just returned from the front line.

At that time, the elder brother was already stroking her head with his left hand.

And Menechel, who didn't know that he was seen through, still maintained a carefree sitting posture, and pulled the cloak with his left hand.

"But you shouldn't come to me just because of this matter." Sensing that her words were wrong, Menechel slowed down and said remedially: "Could someone bully you?"

Afriel shook her head.

Menechel's move to save Avril even under the pressure of huge public opinion made those people see clearly Minechel's attitude towards her righteous sister, and naturally no one would be willing to jump at this time. Come out and challenge his authority.

Such an obvious attitude also made the nobles and patriots in the city less defensive against Menechel, at least this invincible and frightening first knight also had a weakness.

Of course, it is not ruled out that this is the possibility that Menechel did it deliberately.

"I have received an invitation to the dance, so I am here to ask my elder brother what should I do."

"It's just a dance. If you're not interested, just drop it. Of course, if you're shy, I can accompany you."

But no matter how I think about it, I know that with Afriel's character, she won't feel afraid of others.

"It's an invitation letter from the Speda family." Afriel continued to add, and she analyzed it in the simplest possible terms: "My brother is in a very bad situation now. If the king leaves the capital at this critical moment Contacting a nobleman can easily attract suspicion."

In Avriel's conception, Menechel can only gradually clear up her suspicions by maintaining hostile relations with nobles and knights at this time, and by continuing to remain alone.

The new nobility.

Menechel slightly raised the corners of her mouth.

He still remembered that just a few years ago, when he had just defected to Artoria, he dared to destroy the deep-rooted old aristocratic group with his enthusiasm, which of course triggered a series of follow-up rebellions, even to the present , Camelot is still in the aftermath of this impulsive act.

But now, Menechel, who holds a knight order and is known as the first knight, has lost the confidence and leeway she had before.

Menechel couldn't help thinking of the former king's city steward who was killed by Kai, and his eyes couldn't help drifting to Afriel beside him.

Because of his own reasons, the girl's fate is closely linked with him, Afriel's deeds are all laced with a strong political color, and even the girl's survival itself has become a kind of capital.

Speaking of which, the estrangement between him and Artoria began after he took in the girl.

But since Afriel called him "brother" and truly treated him like a brother, he couldn't treat the girl like an ordinary beast.

This emotion, never felt before, fermented in Menechel's heart.

It may be stupid to look at it rationally, and if you are not careful, you may be accused of unwarranted crimes, remove your title and take away your military power.

But so what, he, Menechel, didn't work hard to get promoted for this kind of limited power. The promotion was just a incidental thing, and if he became tied up for this kind of bonus, the gain would outweigh the loss.

"Don't worry, you only need to do what you want to do." Menechel said, closing her eyes lightly: "The king is very wise, as long as you declare in advance, nothing will happen."

In fact, maybe Arturia will still be very supportive, and the pressure brought about by such a big event as [Menechel shows favor to the nobles] will accelerate her integration of the old and new generations of knight groups.

As for the crisis of trust that Artoria may cause, it's not a big deal.Therefore, the important choice in Avril's prediction that may cause Menechel to fall into the abyss if she is not careful is actually not very important.

Of course, the only possibility of damage is that the reputation of Minechel, who is cheap and unwilling to contribute, may hit a new low among the nobles.

Although Afriel misunderstood the situation because she didn't know the important information that Menechelle had a good personal relationship with King Arthur, the perceptive girl still smelled something unusual in Minechelle's few words.

"Forget it, I'm not very interested in the gathering between the young master and the young lady."

"What are you talking about, you are the most orthodox rich lady in the whole of Britain now." Minechelle rubbed the girl's hair, and a comfortable smile appeared on the girl's expressionless face, which made Minechelle's hand feel a little overwhelmed. For a moment.

But seizing the opportunity, the smile on Avriel's face suddenly disappeared, and she said like a robbery: "Then can you please take care of yourself, brother?"

Menechel paused for a moment.

"Brother is amazing, but occasionally he has to live for himself."

Rubbing her head against Menechel's hard gauntlet, Afriel said so.Although she was unable to repair the fragmented shell since she said "Follow me" last time when she said "Follow me" in Menechelle, she has not lost her ability to perceive words and emotions.

Afriel even made a series of preparations to ensure that she would not delay Menechelle's affairs.Because of this, she could clearly see Menechel's exhaustion.

Afriel didn't know what the powerful elder brother was still chasing, but it was because she had the same experience that she could clearly understand how exhausting it was to live for others.

"Let's take a rest once in a while." Afriel straightened her upper body and held Menechel's gauntlet with her own hand. Even though she was separated by a layer of armor, she could clearly feel the sudden tightness of the other's body.

An absurd thought rose in Afriel's heart.

Could it be that my elder brother hasn't had in-depth communication with the opposite sex yet?
Although Avriel's expression gradually became strange afterwards, the previous tenderness still made Menechel somewhat shaken, and the warm feeling seemed to surge into her heart through the gauntlet.

"Forgive me." But Menechel still pulled out his hand, and his half-joking tone became serious again: "Now, I don't have time to rest."

　The longer the delay, the greater the gap between the two. Minai knew this, so he said that he had no time to rest, and Artoria also realized it, so he rushed to fight.Only by breaking away from the vortex of power as soon as possible can we end this temptation to each other at the cost of consuming emotions
