I really didn't want to burn it.

PS2: I am appalled. (I am so shocked.) From the famous scene in "Yes, Minister".

Chapter 81: All the French needed was a white sheet, a baguette, and a military salute.

The Roman delegation was unaware that a group of people had suddenly appeared in the British entourage, and that they were gathering information about a certain man from various parts of Britain.

If these people knew that Li Ang, whom they were inquiring about, was currently hiding in their entourage, the entire envoy team would probably be furious.

But sometimes fate is just that wonderful and inexplicable.

Of course, this can also be explained by the saying "the darkest place is under the lamp."

In any case, Leon and his Chaldean group continued their journey toward the Roman Empire.

Once the team passed through the underwater tunnel and arrived in Gaul, the weather immediately improved.

Sunshine is very rare in Britain during winter; often, there are days or even weeks of continuous rainy weather.

But things were completely different in Gaul. Bright sunshine was a luxury in Britain, but it was an everyday occurrence here.

This made Agravivan even more determined not to give up Gaul to the Romans, even if it was just so that he could have a place to retire in that would not cause him to suffer from arthritis every day. Gaul should not be given to Rome!

Feeling the winter sun, Agravan's gloomy mood improved somewhat.

The reason I say "a little" is because...

"Oh my, Mr. Holmes, you know so much."

"Not at all, not at all. It is a great honor to be able to explain to such a beautiful lady as Miss Morgan."

"Hehe, you're so good with words, no wonder Mashu likes you so much."

"I am over-flattered."

……

Listening to the conversation between the two adulterers behind him, Agukwen had only one thing to say.

"He—tui!"

Seeing this, Li Ang raised his eyebrows and lightly kicked Agguiwen with his toe.

"Lord Agguiwen, do you have a sore throat? I have some highly effective loquat syrup here, would you like to try it?"

"..."

Aggle said he didn't want a certain jerk to speak and really wanted to throw a little Mo at him.

"Loquat syrup? What's that? It sounds delicious."

The foodie queen, Artoria, immediately became interested.

"A medicinal ointment from the East, with the effects of clearing heat, ventilating the lungs, resolving phlegm, and relieving cough."

Hearing Li Ang's explanation, Artoria tapped her chin and said, "I feel like someone has said that to me before..."

Li Ang was startled. He thought Arthur had said something similar to his sister, so he quickly changed the subject.

“That’s a specialty from DD’s hometown. I heard it from her.”

According to Sherlock Holmes's "official settings" for his "wives," DD is the daughter of a fallen noble family from China.

In order to survive, she worked as a maid in the household of the Roman nobleman Sherlock Holmes. Eventually, she fell in love with the second son of the family, Sherlock Holmes himself, and they eventually got together.

This character setting is so absurd and full of flaws, whether others believe it or not, Li Ang himself does.

Artoria was skeptical. She still found Mash and her group very suspicious, but she couldn't figure out why. She could only attribute it to a woman's sixth sense, or the Arthurian intuition passed down through generations.

After several days of intentional and unintentional probing of this Sherlock Holmes, Artoria discovered that this self-proclaimed minor nobleman from Rome was indeed talented and had unique insights into the relationship between Rome and Britain.

The only thing that annoyed Artoria was that talking to this guy always gave her the feeling of communicating with that dead camel Lancelot.

Strictly speaking, Li Ang really did act according to the Lancelot model when he was playing the role.

After all, creating a character out of thin air can easily lead to inconsistencies, while having a template would be much better.

Lancelot and Leon were already very familiar with each other. When doing makeup, they borrowed some of Chloris's tools and modified the eye color, hair color, and hairstyle—the things that are most likely to leave an impression on people's memories—based on the other person's face shape.

As for his expression... just recall Lancelot's womanizing antics.

Every time this guy seduces a respectable woman, he uses the same expression, toning down his lewd smile and softening his gaze, making himself more confident and compassionate.

As for the tone of voice, it's even simpler: lean towards a poetic and picturesque style, and don't worry about using too much nonsense; just be as literary as possible.

Li Ang has traveled through so many worlds, and he's had countless opportunities to be a politician, so acting is no problem for him at all.

Even Chloris and DD, who were closest to Li Ang, felt that Li Ang seemed like a different person.

As a result, Chloris now forbids Leon from getting intimate with her while wearing the "Sherlock Holmes" face.

This hurt Li Ang a little, as he had to spend every night alone in his empty room.

There's no way around it; makeup takes time, and it would be troublesome if this Ms. Morgan found me in the middle of it.

Despite his slight annoyance with this third wheel witch, Li Ang remained polite.

When Miss Morgan spoke to him, Li Ang answered fluently.

“Someone like you, I think you’d have no problem getting a Knight of the Round Table title,” Artoria said with a smile. “If you’re interested, I can recommend you to Mordred.”

"Forget it, working in the same unit as Lord Lancelot is too stressful."

Li Ang wore a faint smile, but firmly rejected Artoria's suggestion.

Are you kidding me? I went to Rome to escape Morales, didn't I? Going back would be like throwing myself to the wolves.

"That's a real shame. I thought I'd found a good deputy for my daughter," Artoria said regretfully.

Agravan had to cover his mouth to hide his smile; he found it really funny to watch Leon and Artoria pretending to be riddles.

However, happy times are always short-lived. After reaching the border of Gaul, Agraven had to part ways with the team.

“Then let’s part ways here,” Li Ang said, patting Agguivin on the shoulder. “I’ve seen Gaul; you’ve done a good job.”

"Which part are you referring to?" Agraven asked. "The appeasement of the original inhabitants, or the methods used against those nobles?"

Li Ang shrugged. "Both. Xiao Mo's skill level is now on par with his father's, and he's not as impulsive as before."

Agguiwen recalled the various amazing things his sister had done, and then put on a bitter face again.

"I think Mordred will be very happy to hear such praise from you."

"No need. If he really wanted to do that, would he issue a warrant for my arrest?"

Upon hearing Leon use "he" to refer to Mordred, Agravivan gave a knowing look, as if he knew where the problem lay.

Go back and ask Merlin.

With this in mind, Agguiwen waved goodbye to Li Ang.

"I said, is this okay?"

After the delegation left, Kai appeared out of nowhere.

He asked with a worried look, "Wasn't I supposed to be going to Rome as ambassador? How did it become Artoria? And in Morgan's name no less?"

"This is what Wang herself requested, so you don't need to worry about it."

As he spoke, Agguiwen suddenly curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"This should be a good thing for you; perhaps your long-cherished wish is about to come true."

Kay is the only knight in the core Roundtable team who does not approve of Mordred becoming king.

In Kay's mind, the perfect heir to the British Empire should be the child of Artoria and Leon, not the child of Artoria and Morgan.

Although he didn't understand anything about eugenics, he was also unaware of the risks of sisters having children.

Kai simply believed that the heir to the empire should be the most perfect, with the perfect Queen Artoria and the perfect person Leon as their two children, who would meet his expectations.

Unfortunately, Kai's dream was shattered after Li Ang fled.

But now, it seems there's hope again (?)...

"My dream? Your Kai's dream is for Artoria and Leon to get married and have children..."

Kai's mouth, which had been agape with resentment, suddenly gaped open.

"No way...he...he's here too?"

Agrave patted Kai on the shoulder: "Be happy, maybe when Artoria comes back, it will be time for you to become an uncle."

The premise is that Li Ang was not stabbed to death by Wang after his identity was exposed.

Agravan didn't say the second half of his sentence, otherwise Kai would have caught up with the team right now.

If Kai exposes the truth about the two of them, then what kind of show will he still be watching?

If I don't tell them, Kai will assume that Li Ang and Artoria are on their honeymoon in Rome, and he will only try to create space for the two of them.

"Alright, everything's settled in Rome. It's time to head back to the capital and settle old scores."

Agguwen clenched his fists so tightly they cracked.

"What's so special about it?"

"Of course I'm going to find a certain magician. I'm going to make him run naked around the royal city 30 times!"

Kai said with a hint of sympathy, "In that case, Merlin will be arrested by the city management knight for being indecent in public."

Agraven curled one corner of his mouth into a Dragon King smile.

"Isn't this better?"

"..."

Kai immediately decided to wait patiently for news of Artoria's pregnancy and not get involved in these messy affairs.

A certain online fraudster, a sorcerer known for his deceptive tactics, seemed to sense something and immediately let out a loud sneeze.

"Ah."

Merlin rubbed his nose and muttered to himself with an innocent look on his face.

"Oh dear, which lovely fairy is talking about me again? It seems being too popular isn't always a good thing!"

--------------------------

Just as Agravan was storming off to confront Merlin, Leon and Artoria, who were on their way to Rome, continued their riddle-like exchange.

Because both of them had something to hide, they deliberately avoided the topic of King Arthur and Chancellor Leon, and instead discussed the vast Roman Empire.

Incidentally, Li Ang also discovered through observation that the Rome he was in was not the Rome of King Arthur's time, but the Rome he had lived in before.

"It's like forcibly chopping up two worlds and piecing them together."

Recalling the starkly different landscapes on the border between Rome and Britain, Li Ang felt as if he were in two different worlds.

[So, what does the host plan to do? Will he try to win over the leaders of the singularities as before?]

“Pretty much,” Li Ang said, looking back at the border. “I think the two Gallic territories would certainly suit the wishes of Britain and Rome.”

So you didn't even think about fighting for the French people's own country, did you?

“Nonsense, I’ve never traveled through France, why should I care if this country dies?” Li Ang declared in a judgmental tone. “The people here can survive as long as they have white cloth, baguettes, and French military salutes.”

P.S.: The new Craft Essences in the Japanese server's new event are absolutely amazing!

Mimi especially loves this picture of Raikou; it feels like she has a very strong maternal glow.

As for this picture of Issun-hime, does anyone recognize that it's Medb? 23333

Chapter 82 Merlin: Agravan has killed someone!!!

Unlike the Roman Empire during the British period, which was already weakened, the Roman Empire during the singularity period was at its zenith.
