"As long as you are determined, the knight within you will answer your prayers, and the shield in your hand will never let you down. The greatness of humanity lies in its emotions, which can produce miracles beyond all imagination."

 "It seems... you have finally made up your mind?"

 The girl's voice slowly reached everyone's ears.

 "Ms. Zieg!?"

 Mashu turned around in surprise and looked at the girl who appeared silently behind everyone.

 Sieg nodded to Mash and then continued to look at Bedivere.

 "Yes... I've truly been thankful for your care. Please dispel the healing magic completely. This pain is what I, as a sinner, must endure..."

 "In that case, your body?"

 Bedivere shook his head slightly.

 "That's why you should follow my advice and remove the magic from me. Only then can you see the transcendent power and possibilities of humanity."

 "Ms. Zieger..."

 Mashu stepped forward and wanted to say something but Bedivere stretched out his silver arm to block her.

 "This is proof of my sins and the punishment I deserve..."

 "Holy Sword..."

 The girl frowned slightly, and a ray of light flashed in her scarlet vertical pupils, seeing through all the hidden magic above, and seeing the holy sword emitting light.

 "All right..."

 Sieg sighed helplessly and removed all the healing magic cast on Bedivere.

 The moment the magic disappeared, the pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow and seemed to burn the body from the inside out was transmitted to the brain.

 “This pain!”

 Bedivere subconsciously stretched out his right hand and tightly grasped his left arm, breathing heavily, and cold sweat dripped down due to the intense burning sensation.

 After waiting for a long time, the other party seemed to get used to the pain and slowly stood up with Mashu's support.

 "Let's continue without worrying about me..."

 -

 "In other words, the biggest problem with this singularity is no longer the Sun King Osmanthus, but the surviving Lion King, formerly King Arthur?"

 "That's the case at the moment, and there are still huge problems within the Holy City... The Lion King's current spiritual strength has surpassed the level of a Servant and reached the level of a God, so he can bestow the protection of the Knights of the Round Table."

 Romani Akiman paused slightly as he listened to Zig's description.

 "One more thing. Our previous belief that the chosen ones live within the Holy City has been disproven. There are no signs of human life within the Holy City. It's practically a dead city..."

 "This situation is really..."

 Da Vinci waved his hand and spoke with a helpless tone.

 King Arthur, who survived death and became a god under the blessing of the Holy Lance, was summoned again and became a Knight of the Round Table who had once abandoned his reverence for life...

 Everything is leading this already crumbling world into the abyss.

 "Excuse me...everyone..."

 Just when the discussion among the crowd came to a halt, a trembling voice came from behind them.

 "That...we all saw it..."

 For a moment, several eyes were focused on the leading man, making him a little nervous.

 "We have no ill intentions... We just want to express our gratitude to you for taking us away from that hell, but..."

 The man said this with a hint of embarrassment on his face.

 "We are so sorry... We really can't be happy, but this gratitude comes from the bottom of our hearts..."

 The moment he met Long Tong's eyes, the man felt his knees go weak, as if

 199

 It was as if everything about him had been seen through by the gorgeously dressed girl in front of him.

 Nervous cold sweat began to slide down my cheeks.

 "Want to know how long we will protect you?"

 "It's like this. We can't provide you with adequate compensation, nor can we participate in the battle. In every sense, we are an existence that should be abandoned..."

 A woman walked past the man and looked at Zig, with a child beside her.

 "The greatest reward I can offer is to help you gain the trust of the people of the Northern Mountains... and to thank you very much for the food you gave to Rushde that day..."

 The girl blinked, looked at the woman in front of her in silence for a moment, then turned to look at Bedivere and the Chaldean group.

 "I agree. We and the northern mountain people are two different races, and we also have an inexplicable relationship with the knights. If we bring them along, we might be able to gain their trust..."

 "Doctor, and dear Da Vinci, do you have any suggestions?"

 Leonardo da Vinci smoothed the ends of his hair.

 "As far as gathering intelligence and avoiding pursuit are concerned, I agree with Bedivere's opinion. After all, Hassan, who excels at assassination, must be quite capable in hiding. We might even be able to obtain even more important intelligence from this opportunity..."

 "What about the doctor?"

 Mash listened to Da Vinci's opinion, nodded, and looked at the screen.

 “I think this is a good choice too…”

 Romani Akiman echoed Leonardo da Vinci's words while looking at the information on the screen. His eyes became more and more solemn, and his eyes kept scanning Bedivere's body.

 No matter what, as a Servant, this data is unqualified.

 But what if we change our perspective and view the other person as a human being?

 "..."

 Sieg nodded to Mashu, then gently bent down and picked up Fufu. Then, using Fufu to block everyone's view, he secretly made a gesture to Romani Akiman.

 "Then we agree to this deal. We will do our best to protect you until we reach the mountainous area. But we'll ask you to act as middlemen and build bridges. What do you think?"

 "No problem, I will be responsible for negotiating with the old man in the mountain..."

 The woman nodded slightly and tightened her grip on the necklace around her neck.

 "Thank you all... Thank you so much! I'll go gather everyone and explain this matter now!"

 The man nodded and trotted back to the gathering place, the excitement on his face no longer concealed.

 A moment later, the gathering place that was originally shrouded in despair and silence suddenly burst into life.

 As long as there is hope, there will always be people moving towards that light...

 This is true for humans in any world.

 The girl narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the crowd in the distance.

 In this case...

 "Fu..."

 The little white animal rubbed Zig's fingers gently, and there seemed to be a layer of worry on its cheek.

 "It doesn't matter..."

 The girl reached out and rubbed Fufu's head with her fingers, then squatted down and put it back on the ground.

 "Don't worry about me..."

 After all... I am the one who deserves the most gratitude from the human race and is the one who has committed the most heinous crime...

 Because I took away humanity's salvation...

 This time, it will be the same.

 Even if it angers the gods...

 Fairy Knight: 9. Departure

 "Then let's put aside the matter of confirming the situation for now. Since Bedivere-kun, as a Knight of the Round Table, has sided with us, can we assume that not all Knights of the Round Table are willing to follow the Lion King?"

 Da Vinci straightened his clothes and led everyone to sit by the fire. While they were warming themselves and resting, he asked Bedivere.

 "What Leonardo da Vinci said makes no sense. Even if the Knights of the Round Table, who were loyal to King Arthur, saw the other side commit such atrocities, they would surely rise up in resistance or try to persuade them..."

 Mash nodded after hearing Da Vinci's question and looked at Bedivere with anticipation.

 They are in urgent need of support now. If there really is a knight who has chosen the same path as Bedivere, it will be a precious opportunity for them.

 If Sieg is really locked in a fight with the Lion King and can't spare the time to support them, they might be completely defeated in a single encounter with the Knights of the Uprightness and the "blessed" Knights of the Round Table.

 "Regarding this...I think it's unlikely..."

 Sieg spoke softly as he listened to Mash's words.

 "The Knights of the Round Table all came into this world as Servants, and the opponent's Master is still the Lion King. And judging from the previous encounter, the opponent is not human, but a god. The way of thinking is beyond our comprehension..."

 Sieg stroked the fur of the white beast in his arms, and a glimmer of light flashed in his red dragon eyes.

 "He will not allow any changes, even to former knights. I believe the Knights of the Round Table have been classified from the moment they were summoned."

 The girl looked at the dancing flames and continued speaking:

 "Aside from the knights who sided with the Lion King, I'm afraid the other Knights of the Round Table have long been killed by their former companions..."

 Deathly silence enveloped everyone.

 The knights swore allegiance to the king, but what if the future king took the wrong path, a path that even they could not understand?

 Would he stand by Dazhong like Gawain and Tristan, and continue to follow the king? Even if his hands were stained with blood, even if it was against his former self, would he still stand by the unjust Dazhong?

 Or like Bedivere and the other dead Knights of the Round Table, for the sake of justice, for the path chosen by the former king, he left the king and became his enemy, still insisting on the path he believed was right, standing on the side of disloyalty to justice?

 "The Knights of the Round Table are supposed to be knights of high moral character..."

 Mashu lowered her brows, her clenched fists trembling slightly.

 "Yes... The strongest and proudest knights who graced the Arthurian legend with their brilliant colors, gathered at the Round Table, were indeed torn apart by the Lion King, even to the point of fighting each other..."

 Listening to Romani Akiman's words, Fujimaru Ritsuka blinked, and recalled the words that Osmandis had said to them.

 "Is there any hidden secret behind this?"

 "Well..."

 Romani Akiman was silent for a moment and then continued with Fujimaru Ritsuka's words.

 "Although this is just my speculation... this singularity was supposed to be caused by the Crusades ravaging the Holy City, leading to a never-ending holy war. After all, if the war over the Holy Land continues unresolved, humanity will collapse."

 "Does that mean we were supposed to fight the Crusaders?"

 Sieg tilted his head and looked at Romani Akiman. The silver waterfall behind him emitted starlight under the moonlight.

 Romani Akiman nodded at Ziggy.

 "Yes, based on the history of that time, it was speculated that Chaldea's mission was to fight the Crusaders who had obtained the Holy Grail. However, as we have seen, the Crusaders who were supposed to obtain the Holy Grail were destroyed before we arrived, destroyed by the Lion King who wanted to "protect human law."

 "And because of this reason, the distortion at this particular point has become even more severe. This is because the Lion King, the Knights of the Round Table, and the Holy City have already dominated this era..."

 "Instead of saving this burning land, they chose to maintain the prosperity of their city. But now it seems that this plan has also been invalidated."

 Bedivere nodded slightly.

 "That's true. If Miss Sieg's information is correct, and there really is no one living in the Holy City, then the so-called Holy City is not just about selecting qualified people. Servants are just shadows of the soul and cannot exist forever..."

 The time that the world can allow heroic spirits to exist is very short, and the earth is what the current humans can hold.

 "The Lion King should understand this, right?"

 Mashu frowned.

 "But Miss Sieg just said that the other person's inner being is no longer the human King Arthur, but a divine being. If he is a divine being, perhaps there is a way to solve this problem?"

 "The explanation is simple, miss..."

 Bedivere spoke softly, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes. But then it completely disappeared, replaced by an extremely determined look.
