The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

While catching her breath, Artoria spoke freely.

Compared to her previous reserved demeanor, after enjoying the food Kiana had given her, her attitude became noticeably more friendly.

Perhaps this is the meaning of the saying: to win someone's heart, you must first win their stomach?

"Hehe, look at you eating. Don't worry, I keep my word as long as I'm still in this world."

Kiana smiled awkwardly but politely.

Although she really wanted to complain that I hadn't eaten yet, she didn't say much because she was the one who suggested treating everyone to dinner.

Overall, the meal was very enjoyable.

At least Artoria looks quite comfortable, and that's enough.

After a satisfying meal, it's time to discuss some more important matters.

For example, how to unify Britain.

"Let's stop with the small talk. I think we should discuss some important matters, such as the unification of Britain."

Kiana has her own opinion on this.

Having experienced several medieval-like alternate worlds, she knew some of the basic rules of this land.

First, to gain control of a region, one must obtain the support of the nobles, and the nobles' support must be based on sufficient evidence.

In this regard, the girl in front of me just happens to meet this condition.

Kiana looked at Artoria and noticed that she seemed to still be savoring the delicious food she had just enjoyed.

They were completely unaware of just how powerful an advantage they had gained.

Putting aside other factors, the fact that he is a runaway prince and that the Sword of Kings recognizes him can serve as the basis for his rule.

Therefore, what he told Merlin before, that as long as he raised his arm, he could receive responses from all directions, was not just empty talk.

However...

"Yes, I have my own opinion."

Artoria slowly rose to her feet, her gaze resolute.

As a knight, she has a unique perspective on governance.

Therefore, such insights are concretized as...

“We need to educate the people with virtue and benevolence, and defeat those evil adversaries on the battlefield. Although this may cause dissatisfaction among others, I believe that justice is on our side.”

"...Um, could you please repeat that?"

Kiana looked at the righteous-looking girl in front of her and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Is what she said reasonable? Yes.

But not many.

Because such an idea is simply a pipe dream to put into practice.

Just as she would be overjoyed by the deliciousness of food, with

Those who follow him will, to varying degrees, develop their own ideas due to desires.

As a ruler, it is correct that the most important thing to do is to find ways to get others to give up their own desires and work for the greater goal of the collective.

The problem is, it's far too arrogant for someone like you to think you can make others submit based solely on your own words.

At least for now, it's impossible.

Kiana is completely confident about this.

However, Artoria was by no means a mortal king in the traditional sense.

In fact, if she were no different from an ordinary king in every way, she wouldn't have been sung about as a myth.

What I mean is...

Artoria then shared her thoughts, which were largely the same as what she had just said.

In short, it feels very outrageous.

Seeing this, Kiana was momentarily at a loss for words to change her mind.

Upon closer examination, if doing this could unify Britain, wouldn't that be far too frivolous?

But she seemed to genuinely believe that doing so would unify Britain.

this...

After much deliberation, Kiana ultimately opted for a compromise.

"In that case, why don't we seek out righteous individuals to join our cause? What do you think?"

Kiana's suggestion was approved by Artoria.

"Well, I believe you."

"Thank you for your trust, but it's already so late..."

Kiana glanced at the shabby layout of the house and had absolutely no interest in sleeping there.

Artoria didn't seem to have any opinion on the layout, but she felt that she should be more polite.

So he suggested, "You can rest in bed, I just need to rest my head on the table for a while."

"Ah? This...no need, no need."

Although Artoria is very hospitable, polite and courteous.

But Kiana felt that this was completely unnecessary.

After all, she has a treasure in her hands.

"Shall I show you a treasure?"

As she spoke, Kiana took out the Dust Song Pot and let it float in mid-air.

Looking at the rather uniquely shaped pot that could float in the air on its own, a hint of doubt flashed in Artoria's eyes.

She had never heard of such a strange thing before, and had no idea how it was made.

But no matter what, she knew that this thing was definitely unusual.

"I found this in a mysterious cave."

Kiana pointed to the Dust Song Pot and said.

"A mysterious cave?"

Artoria was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected the pot to have such a magical effect.

"Yes, I found many rare treasures in that cave, including some very precious potion ingredients."

"Yeah?"

Artoria's face showed a hint of curiosity, because she didn't know much about this world and therefore didn't know about the mysterious cave, and what happened in the mysterious cave was something she didn't know either.

"Uh-huh."

Kiana said happily, "Look, this is a treasure; it's called the Dust Song Pot."

"That's a good name, but how could something like that be kept in such a hidden place?"

Artoria asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Hehe, you wouldn't understand, this is a treasure. A very useful treasure. Why don't you try touching it?"

Kiana slowly reached out her hand and offered her a suggestion.

Upon hearing her suggestion, a hint of doubt flashed in Artoria's eyes.

But she still followed her instructions and tested the treasure.

"this..."

The moment Artoria's hand touched the Dust Song Pot, a strange power instantly flowed into her body, causing a slight change in her physique.

Not only that, she then discovered something different about the pot.

The once ordinary Dust Song Pot suddenly emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the room.

In that instant, she seemed to feel a connection established between herself and the Dust Song Pot.

The next second, accompanied by a strange sensation of being enveloped in smoke.

She instantly arrived at a place with open terrain, resembling a special scene from a mythical world.

The rocks here are suspended in mid-air, beyond which lies an endless sea of ​​clouds, and at the end of the sea of ​​clouds is a dazzling, blazing sun.

And right at her feet, she could still hear the sound of seawater crashing against the rocks.

A mountain peak in the distance shimmered with colorful light under the sun.

Beside her, a clear river appeared out of nowhere and spread outwards.

At that moment, she felt as if she were watching a fantasy movie.

Her gaze fell on the rocks in front of her.

These rocks are all composed of hard rock.

Under the sunlight, these rocks gleam with a crystal-clear luster, shimmering with dazzling brilliance.

"What a nice view..."

Artoria couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. It was the first time she had ever seen such a magnificent scene. Even in mythology, this mountain range was extremely rare.

Did Kiana create all of this?

What exactly is she...?

Just as Artoria was filled with doubt, a gasp suddenly came from behind her.

"Ying, look! There's someone there!"

"Hmm, maybe they're Kiana's guests?"

Turning around in the direction the sound came from, Artoria saw a blonde girl and a small fairy floating beside her.
