While Artoria and the others were tidying up in their respective rooms, Merlin came and found Lobai.

Sitting across from Luo Bai, Merlin asked thoughtfully, "Luo-kun, Artoria's situation is a bit special. Could you tell me about it?"

Volume 1: Chapter 632 Dinner, Three Servants (2/2)

Did you notice?

Luo Bai took a sip of tea, and then, without hiding anything, told Merlin about his previous experiences.

After listening, Merlin nodded in understanding: "I see. So there was a suppressor involved. No wonder her aura changed when I saw her again after discovering that Artoria's fate had ended. She's no longer a Heroic Spirit of this world. But that's good. She can completely break free from the past and start a new life under the name Artoria. Luo Jun, I'll leave Artoria in your care from now on."

Luo Bai smiled and said, "Of course, I would have done it even without you telling me."

At this moment, Artoria came downstairs after tidying up the room and looked at Luo Bai, saying, "There aren't enough rooms, Luo Bai. I'll sleep in the same room with you tonight."

"kindness?"

Luo Bai paused for a moment, glanced at Artoria's normal expression, and nodded, "Okay, it's settled then."

Then Artoria saw Merlin smiling at her and frowned.

"I forgot to ask before, Merlin, how exactly did you get out?"

"Of course I was summoned~" Merlin said with a smile. "This matter is very big, and even I have to come out and take action. Don't worry, I won't just stand by and watch this time. You can call me anytime if needed."

Artoria remained somewhat wary of Merlin and sat down next to Luo Bai.

"I hope you will do what you say."

Luo Bai chuckled and patted Artoria on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Merlin is still pretty reliable now."

"What do you mean 'now'? I've always been reliable!"

After a while, the others arrived one after another. Siduri also brought over a group of people with the dinner she had prepared.

Compared to lunch, the dinner was indeed more plentiful, with various meats paired with special sauces, emitting a wonderful aroma, and a variety of vegetables and bread, which were also very delicious.

As dinner began, three special people arrived.

The leader was petite, dressed in samurai attire, but her waist, abdomen, and chest were quite sexy, and she wore a long ponytail.

Rider, Ushiwakamaru.

The other two were dressed as warriors, one with a headscarf covering his head, and the other with a red hood and a gold helmet, clearly in Spartan style.

It was Lancer Benkei and Lancer Leonidas I.

"Three Servants?"

Upon seeing the three of them appear, Merlin happily remarked, "King Gilgamesh is quite swift; he has already summoned his Servants."

After the two sides greeted each other and got to know each other, Luo Bai invited them in to have dinner together.

Leonidas was also very surprised when he saw Medea. He took off his golden helmet and bowed to Medea.

"I never expected to meet the legendary Princess Kolsky."

Medea nodded gracefully: "Leonidas I, after learning about the history of later Greece, I also know you. You are an excellent king and warrior. From now on, let us fight side by side."

Then, she also looked towards Luo Bai.

"If we had known the King of Sparta would be summoned, we should have brought that big guy Hercules with us."

"Hercules?!"

The mere mention of this name stirred excitement even in the composed Leonidas I.

"Could it be that Hercules has also been summoned?"

Luo Bai took a sip of his drink and nodded, saying, "That's right, he's another girl's Servant from our side, his class is Berserker, but right now, the Berserker's Berserk effect has worn off."

They've recovered. However, because the child still needs treatment, we didn't let them come over.

Leonidas I suddenly realized: "I see. Legend has it that Hercules killed his own child because of Hera's curse, so he must have a deep attachment to children. He would probably do everything in his power to protect his Master as well."

After learning all this, although he felt a little regretful, he did not say anything about wanting to meet Hercules.

As everyone continued eating, Luo Bai noticed that Anna, wearing a cloak, was very interested in the food. With each bite, a joyful expression would appear on her usually calm face.

After a while, once all the dishes were served, Siduri brought out a plate of cake.

"Today, we've also prepared a butter cake. Please enjoy!"

Anna's eyes lit up the moment she saw the cake. She grabbed a piece and took a bite.

"Mmm! Delicious!"

As soon as she spoke, Anna noticed everyone's envious gazes and quickly lowered her head.

Luo Bai smiled, picked up a piece, tasted it, and nodded in satisfaction: "Wow, amazing! It's unbelievable that I can eat such a delicious cake here in Uruk."

In ancient times, regardless of the country or dynasty, sugar was a very rare ingredient, and desserts were among the most precious foods.

It's quite a surprise that people in Uruk, dating back to before Christ, can enjoy delicious cakes.

After taking a bite, Shirou Emiya exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, this is amazing! Butter cake... Hmm, I think I could do some research on it."

Even after becoming a pseudo-Servant, she still retains her chef side.

Siduli said confidently, "This is our top-grade dessert. Everyone, have as much as you want!"

Their words were filled with pride in Uruk's abundant resources.

After taking a few more bites, Anna said to Siduri, "Can I save a piece for later?"

Siduly smiled and nodded: "Of course, but you have to eat it before noon tomorrow, otherwise it will spoil."

As the atmosphere of dinner grew more lively, under Merlin's persuasion, Leonidas I finally drank some wine and quickly became intoxicated, starting to ramble incoherently.

The scene was incredibly joyful.

Around nine o'clock in the evening, dinner ended, and Siduri said goodbye and went back to her room to rest.

Luo Bai didn't go back to his room, but went to the rooftop and looked at the neighboring building.

Anna is sitting here right now, looking up at the sky.

Noticing Luo Bai's appearance, Anna thought for a moment and then jumped over.

"We don't know each other, so why do you have my scent on you?"

Luo Bai couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"How could they even detect that?"

How could Medusa leave such a strong scent after only visiting him for two nights? Or was it that only Medusa herself could detect it?

Volume 1: Chapter 633 Merlin's Invitation (1/2)

After thinking for a moment, Luo Bai said, "Regarding this, besides Hercules, we also have a Heroic Spirit named Medusa who was summoned. She is Sakura's Servant, Rin's sister, and she didn't come this time either. Speaking of which, you are indeed the same person, just in different forms."

Anna wasn't surprised at all. Looking at Luo Bai, she said, "You recognized me? Well, it makes sense. After all, you have the same aura as me, so it's normal to recognize you. Now, can you tell me how I'm doing these days?"

"of course can."

Then Luo Bai briefly explained the situation of Medusa in his hometown. After being summoned, she was brought back by Rin along with Sakura. She didn't experience any battles or anything, but just stayed with Sakura and lived a peaceful daily life of reading books and shopping.

After hearing this, Anna also showed a hint of envy.

"That kind of life is really nice."

Seeing Anna's expression, Luo Bai raised his hand and placed it on her cloaked head, saying with a smile, "Envious? After things are over here, do you want to come back with us? Although you were summoned with a mission, given my relationship with the Counter Force, helping to save a Singularity and taking a Servant with you is still possible."

"You even know that?" Anna's eyes widened slightly, and she shook her head, saying, "Let's talk about those later. Let's deal with the crisis that may arise next. I'm going back to rest. Good night."

"Well Goodnight."

After Anna returned, Luo Bai received another guest.

Merlin appeared out of nowhere, accompanied by the special effect of flower petals at his feet, and came to Luo Bai's side, putting his hand on Luo Bai's shoulder.

"You seem quite enthusiastic late at night. How about we go somewhere fun?"

"interesting place?"

Luo Bai raised an eyebrow and looked at Merlin. "Where?"

Merlin whispered, "Brothels, there are lots of beautiful young ladies there~~ And don't worry, in Uruk, they have a very high status there, and you don't have to worry about it being dirty or anything. Not just anyone can go there."

Upon hearing this, Luo Bai remembered that in the original story, Merlin had arrived in Uruk first and spent his days lingering in these places, but in the end, he was complained about to Gilgamesh.

I don't know if he kept harassing the girls there, or if he was just really bad at the game.

Even if this guy's stamina is only E, it's still not something an ordinary person can compare to.

Shaking his head, Luo Bai said, "Forget it, I have a family."

"Haha, you can't say that. What's wrong with experiencing something while we're out and about?" Merlin said enthusiastically. "Don't worry, it's on me!"

However, Luo Bai still refused, broke free, and walked into the house.

"Forget it, Artoria is still waiting for me in the room. Compared to the girl over there, she's more attractive to me."

"Oh?"

Merlin raised an eyebrow, stroked his chin, and smiled, "I see. Then I won't insist. I hope you can give that child a life that a girl should have again."

After saying that, he disappeared from the spot, presumably off to seek out women.

Luo Bai shook his head, walked into the house, and went to his and Artoria's room.

The room was small, containing only two oil lamps, two wooden beds, and a thin blanket.

Artoria had already taken off her armor and put on a white dress, which she had bought when she went shopping with Yukino and the others.

Seeing Luo Bai return, Artoria smiled and said, "I sensed Merlin's presence on the rooftop just now. Did he come looking for you?"

"Oh, they chatted with me for a while and even invited me out."

Luo Bai had no intention of covering for Merlin; he betrayed him directly, telling him everything.

After hearing this, Artoria shook her head helplessly: "That guy, he's been like this ever since I met him, a lecherous fellow. It seems that besides doing business here these past few days, he's basically spent all his time there. But didn't you go with him to check it out? I'm not that strict about this; sometimes it's necessary to let loose."

"Relax a bit."

Luo Bai sat down on his bed and said with a smile, "Artoria, what do you take me for? I don't need a place like this to vent my energy. Besides, even if the girls over there are pretty, can they be as pretty as our Knight King?"

Under the candlelight, Artoria's golden hair, fair face, and delicate features made Luo Bai unable to look away.

Upon meeting Luo Bai's direct gaze, Artoria, unusually shy, couldn't help but turn her head away from him.

"No, don't look at me like that."

Unfortunately, these words were spoken in a weak and ineffective manner, lacking any real deterrent power.

Luo Bai chuckled, moved over and sat down next to Artoria, boldly reaching out to hook her chin and forcing her to look him in the eye.

"You're shy, Artoria. That expression is really cute."

Artoria glared shyly at Luo Bai, trying to shake her head and break free from his grasp.

Luo Bai then released his hand and took Artoria's hand instead.

Although she is a knight who wields a sword all the time, whether in the era of King Arthur or in the current era of Heroic Spirits, Artoria's hands have always been exceptionally, unlike those of a knight.

Moreover, it was tiny when held in one's hand, completely enveloped by Luo Bai's large hand.

Taking Artoria's hand, Luo Bai looked at her and said, "You told me before that you wanted to try living a completely new life, and it seems like the change is going well. I just wonder if I'll have the chance to take our relationship to the next level?"

Artoria paused for a moment, her eyes filled with shyness and surprise as she looked at Luo Bai.

"Me? I really can't understand what qualities I have that you would want to pursue. Over the years, I have completely abandoned my identity as a woman and acted as a man, without any of the qualities that a woman should have."

"No, no, no, you can't say that." Luo Bai shook his head and said softly, "In my opinion, Artoria, you have a charm that is second to none. Just looking at you in this long dress is already very attractive to me. Besides, I didn't ask you to accept me right now. Our fates are already intertwined, and we have a long future ahead of us."

After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed the back of Artoria's hand before returning to his bed.

Our Knight King was left behind, blushing as he looked at Luo Bai.
