Zongman: People in Chaldea, all the group members are wives

How to describe it?

Maybe it’s the clay statue in the temple?

"The ideal king."

She lowered her eyes, and her slender and thick eyelashes cast a large shadow in the light, covering the girl's bright holy blue eyes.

"Can I really become the ideal king?"

Touching her own destiny, the faith in Altria's heart was uncontrollably shaken.

She is not afraid of death, hardship, or difficulty.

The only thing I am afraid of is that I haven’t done well enough, and I am afraid of the people’s accusatory gestures and disappointed eyes....

The ideal king cannot make mistakes.

And won't make mistakes.

The pressure was so heavy that it made Altria breathless.

in particular....................

After the appearance of a young man named "Zoe", the invisible pressure on Altria became even greater.

Because there are always people who subconsciously compare "Zoe" and "Altoria".

Who made her the crown princess and the future king of Camelot?

This is as it should be.

I have endured too many eager eyes and too many sincere expectations.

However, Altria thought that she was not worthy of such expectations.

She even thought to herself more than once, "It would be great if the King of Camelot was Zoe instead of me."

In this way, I won't have to bear this heavy pressure anymore.

You can do what you want to do.

Yes.

Altria didn't want to be an ideal king, and she never thought of it that way from the beginning.

The so-called "ideal king" is just an identity imposed on the girl by others.

What she really wants to be...................

"what is it then?"

Altria thought about it and came up with the answer.

Just a knight, perhaps?

A knight who can help the weak and fight against the strong.

This is enough.

bang bang bang-

There was a not-too-loud knock on the door, waking up Lin Yi, who was already awake.

He got out of bed and opened the door.

As expected, I saw the blond girl's awkward smile with a hint of embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, Zoe. I know I shouldn't bother you at this time..."

"It's okay. I didn't sleep anyway. Besides, didn't I promise you before? If you want to talk to me, you can do it anytime."

Looking at Altria's smile which was as pure as a lily, Lin Yi subconsciously reached out and rubbed her little head which felt so good.

"Come in, it's a bit cold outside."

After putting the girl into the room sideways, Lin Yi immediately closed the door and added a handful of dry firewood into the stove.

This is the only means of keeping warm that can be used at present, whether it is officers, knights, or the most ordinary soldiers.

They all relied on the stoves sent by the Cretaceous City to endure one cold night after another.

Otherwise, at this temperature, I'm afraid we don't even need to

As soon as Tigen took action, all the people on the Camelot side were frozen to death.

Altria stood quietly aside, waiting for the boy to make the fire in the stove burn vigorously, then she asked curiously: "Zoe, I remember you once said that the bad climate is also one of the effects of the decline of the Age of Gods, right?"

"That's right, Lily. You have a good memory. But the bad climate is only one aspect. The subsequent reduction in grain production and loss of soil fertility are the most fatal."

"Then do you have a solution?"

"Let's assume there is. Isn't what we are doing in the City of Cretaceous intended to cope with the impact of the fading Age of Gods?"

After saying that, Lin Yi looked at Altria suspiciously.

He always felt that the girl was a little strange tonight.

"Lily, why are you asking all this suddenly? Are you in any trouble?"

"No."

Sitting gracefully in the chair, Altria looked at the flickering shadows of fire on the wall.

I always feel that this shadow is a little bit similar to myself.

She burst into laughter.

He said with emotion, "I just feel that you are really amazing, Zoe. You are amazing in every aspect! Even if I want to catch up with you, I don't know how to do it!"

This is...................

Falling into emo mode again?

Although he is a psychologist, Lin Yi still can't quite understand the thoughts of a young girl like Altria.

Girls of this age are always sensitive and sentimental.

You may be crying one second and laughing so hard that snot bubbles come out the next.

It is impossible to judge it with normal logic.

Therefore, Lin Yi used the old method again. He encouraged Altria first and fed her a few more bowls of chicken soup to see the effect!

It turns out.

Lin Yi's approach is very effective when dealing with people like Altria.

The girl's emotions became visibly high, but soon returned to her normal state.

She pulled her chair closer and sat next to the boy.

They are almost sticking together.

Don't get me wrong, Altria doesn't have any unhealthy thoughts.

She just wanted to get back the feeling they had when they were talking by the river.

That was how it was back then.

The boy and the girl sat side by side, talking about their ideals and their future.

How wonderful!

It’s a pity that we can never go back.

Life is like a rushing river, it can only flow forward, not backward.

The beauty of the past is hidden in the fragments of memory, and we can only look forward.

The flames flickered and the wind howled.

In the small wooden house, Altria was staring at Lin Yi seriously.

Her holy blue eyes reflected the boy's exceptionally handsome face.

Lin Yi felt a little uncomfortable seeing this.

"Why are you looking at me like that, Lily? Is there something dirty on my face?"

"No."

Altria retracted her gaze and suddenly talked about something else: "Zoe, I'm actually a little confused now. I originally thought that as long as I defeated Vortigern, all problems would be solved. But now it seems that things are not as simple as I thought."

"........................"

Lin Yi didn't say anything, and didn't know what to say.

This heavy responsibility should not have fallen on a girl who was only fourteen years old.

This was something that was wrong from the beginning. Lin Yi didn't want to comment on it, nor did he want to use Meli's so-called "ideal king" statement to trick Altria into a dead end.

silence.

After a while, Altria spoke again: "Zoe, what should we do after we defeat Vortigern? I...I have never thought about these things. In fact, just now, I was still wondering if Vortigern would do better if we lost the battle...

The girl spoke incoherently in words that even she could not understand.

This is not something difficult to understand.

after all.

——Altoria is only fourteen years old this year.

She was not yet the future King Arthur who had gone through twelve battles without being defeated and was known as the Undefeated King.

Lin Yi's arrival changed everyone's fate.

This forced the immature Altria to face all this despair prematurely.

According to normal calculations of human history, the girl had to face these problems only after she was at least in her twenties and successfully defeated Vortigern.

Can't blame her.

It's not her fault either.

"don’t worry."

With his warm big hand, he gently held the girl's slender but not tender little hand.

Due to years of intensive swordsmanship practice, Altria's hands are not as delicate as those of a well-maintained noble lady.

On the contrary, it is slightly rough, and you can even feel the calluses at the base of the thumb.

But Lin Yi didn't care.

He simply held the hand tightly, trying to comfort Altria as best he could.

"I will be by your side and help you all the time."

His ink-black eyes, with a serious look, met Altria's holy blue eyes.

The distance between the two was so close that their noses were almost touching.

But there is no trace of ambiguity.

In Altria's sight, the firelight illuminated the boy's profile, casting a hazy mist over it.

He said firmly but gently in his ear: "Just like what I have done all along. I will help you until you can be truly independent and become the true ideal king."

"We agreed on this before, didn't we?"

Yes.

We agreed.

In a corner that the boy didn't notice, the emotions in Altria's eyes changed slightly.

It was a mixture of guilt and uneasiness, and the coexistence of relief and relief.

A very complex emotion.

Sorry Zoe.

I may...

Sorry to disappoint you.

It still seemed like endless snow.
