Anime: Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon, picked up by the Knight King

Altria was a little worried about Morgan - in her eyes, her sister was indeed a little weak, and she felt like she could be blown down by a gust of wind.

Morgan said nothing, just smiled.

However, when they were about to part, Morgan still gave a "big gift" to the sister he met for the first time.

Those were weapons and armor buried in a cave, enough to equip a cavalry unit of a hundred people - the kind of truly heavy cavalry, the kind that could destroy a country with just a hundred cavalrymen.

“That’s not really mine.”

"It's what my father left me, the property of the heir to Camelot—I thought it was left to me!"

Morgan smiled self-deprecatingly and led Altria deeper into the cave.

It was a very narrow chamber, barely big enough for one person to stand in. At Morgan's instruction, Altria curiously walked in and found a giant white sword inside.

The blade was very wide and heavy, almost as heavy as a two-handed sword. Magical energy was also flowing through the blade—just by standing there, Altria could feel the fiery heat contained in the magic.

【Sword of Rotating Victory】.

The holy sword that contains the power of the sun is of the highest level in terms of both strength and level. The sword holder will be blessed by the sun, and will gain three times the power as long as he stands in a place where he can be illuminated by the sun.

"Excellent! I can feel the power contained in this holy sword. It suits my attributes very well."

"With this holy sword, I will surely become even more powerful."

Some people have given extremely high praise to this holy sword.

But unfortunately, the person who made this evaluation is not the current owner of this holy sword.

Instead, it was the giant white dragon hovering in the sky, its blue eyes revealing an innocent and pure look.

"For me, this is quite advanced and very important advanced material."

"And this holy sword is not suitable for you."

"Wait, you're not going to feed me, are you?"

……

In the end, Altria did not feed the "Holy Sword of the Sun" to Shirataki.

Even though she knew that what Shirataki said was correct—the properties of this holy sword were indeed somewhat unsuitable for her, and she was unable to unleash the sword's maximum power.

But what did it matter? For her now, even with her bare hands, she could defeat most of the enemies on this island, so she didn't care what weapon she used.

What truly mattered was the weapon's significance: it was a gift from her sister, a holy sword bearing the long-cherished wish of the Pandragon clan. She would surely cherish it, and certainly not treat it as some "upgrade material" to be given to Shirataki, who was a perfect match for the holy sword.

"I don't want you to eat it."

"If you could become a human, I would definitely give it to you."

Altria said jokingly.

But the giant dragon in the sky suddenly became silent - this made Artoria a little curious for a moment. Could it really be possible for it to transform into a human?

No, it should be said that it is strange that you cannot become a human, right?

Merlin once said that gods don't actually have a fixed form. They simply appear in the world in the form that the general public understands.

The gods in those myths seem to have more than one form: the most famous is Zeus, the Olympian god, who can transform into an innocent shepherd boy, a beautiful goddess, or even a strong bull...

"No, I will not become human."

"At least, not yet."

Chapter 34: The Fairy of the Lake

Its daybreak.

The appearance of the first ray of sunlight was like a signal, allowing the world, which had been stagnant due to the night, to start moving again.

Altria managed to return to her small kingdom before the sun fully rose.

She saw the early-rising farmers and greeted these hardworking people with a smile on her face; she also saw the logging team returning from outside - the leader, Sir Kay, looked at her with a rather resentful look, as if saying, "If you don't give me a few days off, I'll run away."

"You sneaked out again last night."

Looking at the holy sword carried behind Altria, Kai suddenly said.

Sometimes, Altria really wondered if her adopted brother also had the skill of "clairvoyance" - or if he had the special ability to "judge whether his sister sneaked out in the middle of the night."

But is it really necessary to use this skill on her?

"Hmph, do you even need to ask? You exude a kind of 'so happy, I really want to see someone again' smell - no, you met more than one person last night. You should have met three people - two of them were women, and the other one should be that white dragon, right?"

Kai just sniffed lightly and made a very certain judgment.

In response, Artoria could only express admiration.

"Knowing a woman by her scent or something... Can you please use your abilities in the right place, Brother Kai!"

"I'm so sorry I can't use this ability to build this kingdom for you—did you expect me to say that? That's hilarious!"

It was just a daily bickering, but it made Altria feel inexplicably moved.

Even after she became king, Kai's sharp tongue remained unchanged - this made Altria realize that her naturally bohemian brother definitely did not follow her for the so-called "noble dream of chivalry".

"To be honest, I do think your ideal is very stupid."

"But there's nothing I can do. I can't just abandon you, right? If I run back by myself, the old man will definitely break my legs."

Kai scratched his head and pretended to be distressed.

But in the next moment, as if he had discovered something, he suddenly stood up straight - a very standard knight's posture.

"Good morning, King."

It was another knight who came out of the room.

He was wearing a suit of silver-white armor, and his attire and gait were in perfect accordance with the etiquette of chivalry, impeccable and perfect.

"And Mr. Kai, you've worked hard too. I've asked the kitchen to prepare some broth for you. You can rest for a while until it's ready."

Bedivere, the template of a perfect knight, greeted Kai with a rather friendly expression.

Kai was somewhat helpless about this, but he had to accept the knight's "good intentions".

——Hey, from what you said, you still have to continue working after drinking the broth?

Damn it! Where do all these people come from who work so hard for free?

……

A new day begins.

Just like every day before, this was actually an ordinary day.

But this kingdom grew up little by little during these countless "ordinary days and nights".

But then again.

Although it is the same day, for some "people", this day is very extraordinary.

"So, are you ready?"

Shirataki was flying in the sky, and beneath his feet were patches of black land that looked like a desert. There were also scattered "oases" of varying sizes scattered across this black desert.

This is not the real world.

This is the inner side of the world, or as magicians say, the "back side" of the world.

This is a conceptual question.

If the Earth's surface is like a piece of paper, then humans live on the front side, while fairy creatures and other fantasy creatures live on the back side. Then there are the Earth's rock and soil layers, lava layers, and core.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand this concept. You can just understand it as a different space similar to the one in “Yu-Gi-Oh! GX” where the “monster spirits” are located - that’s how Shirataki understands it anyway.

While Artoria was building her kingdom, he was also not idle. He went to the other side of this world, found where the fairies lived, and tried his best to "persuade" them to join the newly established "Holy Britain".

In the face of Shirataki's sincere request, most of the fairies cooperated - of course, there were a few who were ignorant of the current situation, but they no longer existed.

"This level... is already the limit."

Shirataki looked at the world ahead.

He has occupied most of this inner world as much as possible, but there are still two "forbidden areas" that he, now, no, it should be said that he absolutely does not want to touch in the future.

One of them was an isolated island shrouded in a gray aura and surrounded by black water. On the island stood seven tall walls, with a city at the center.

It is the kingdom of the dead, which rejects the existence of all living people - of course, the living would never want to go to such a place and suffer.

Another area was filled with black mud. It was the despair and curse that had been bred with the island since its birth. Similarly, no life would be willing to fall into such a filthy place.

“We can only expand so far.”

"Let's go back. Vivian and the others should be ready."

Vivian, the Lady of the Lake, was also the leader of the goblins—but that was in the past.

With Shirataki's powerful arrival, the lake nymph, known for her ability to conceal her whereabouts, was forced to emerge from the magical waters. She then handed over to Shirataki some "treasures" that were crucial to Britain and even the entire world.

"Lord Dragon God, please follow me."

The barefoot lake fairy walked on the soft grass and brought Shirataki to a tall tower emitting white light.

This is the first and most important treasure that the fairy in the lake is going to give to Shirataki.

The tower of light that shines at the end of the world, the pillar that anchors the surface of the world - Rhône-Méniad.

"Please take it away, Lord Dragon God."

"Only you are worthy of being its true owner."

The fairy in the lake looked at the god in front of her in the form of a white dragon with a look of great anticipation, as if she was expecting something to happen.

But, unfortunately.

Shirataki also knew what she was expecting.

"Do you think I'm easy to deceive, Vivian?"

"Or should I call you—Morrigan?"

Chapter 35: Sorry, but the atmosphere is over

There are actually two ladies of the lake.

This is a secret known to few people - but unfortunately, Shirataki, who is well-versed in "The Legend of King Arthur", really knows about it.

Vivian, representing purity and kindness, and Morrigan, representing conspiracy and evil. These two Ladies of the Lake, one bright and one dark, rule over the fairies who inhabit the dark side of the world.

In fact, Shirataki also knew that a third "Lady of the Lake" would appear after this—Morgan Le Fay. That noble Red Dragon Princess, realizing her hopeless fate in restoring her kingdom, used a mysterious technique he hadn't yet determined to abandon her frail human body and successfully transform into the "Lady of the Lake."

After that, the trinity of the "Lady of the Lake" finally achieved true perfection, becoming the true controller of this other world - the so-called "Utopia".

However, now that Shirataki rules the world, that is no longer possible.

"Hey, have you been discovered?"

Morrigan, whose identity was exposed, stuck out his tongue, with an innocent expression on his face.

This is also a common problem among the "goblins" in this world: they are not only good at, but also extremely fond of, pranks, and they are not at all ashamed of them. Even if they are exposed, they will not feel emotions such as "fear" or "shame", but will openly admit it and then wait for a new opportunity to lay a trap for you again.

Even a smart man like Merlin fell victim to such a monster.

And yet, you have no way to deal with such lake fairies... because they cannot be killed. No matter how many times they are destroyed, they can be reborn in the magical lake water.

"Why don't you pick it up and take a look? This tower is really, really amazing!"

"If we can truly control this tower, let alone rule Britain, even taking over the entire planet would be a very easy task, right?"
