Fairy Britain, they all want to raise me?

Gently nudging his companion with his elbow, Gareth complained softly.

Soon, the companions around him retorted unconvincingly:

"Please, do you think I made several trips between Londinian, Gloucester and Edinburgh last night in order to communicate the time for simultaneous attacks?! Mules also need to rest, okay? I've been here for so long It’s hard to stay awake now without sleeping!”

"Isn't it normal to stay up all night? Artoria and I also worked all night yesterday to make this magic costume. You see, Artoria didn't make any mistakes!"

"Of course I know that Artoria was busy making magic costumes last night, but what are you doing, Gareth? Does she also need your help in making magic costumes?"

"Me? Of course I was looking at Artoria..." When he said this, Gareth's voice suddenly became quieter, and after a few seconds he continued:

"—I did a good job of standing guard for Artoria all night long!"

"Are you kidding?! What's the point of being a sentry when you live in Murien's mansion? Do you really think that Murien's protection is just a decoration? And it's obvious that you were not awake even once when I went back three times!"

"That was an accident, an accident! I stayed up all night, but I just couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep at that time!"

"-Shhh! Stop arguing! My head hurts! If you keep arguing, the guards will come over again! The combination of the invisibility cloak and the stone hat can make it difficult for others to notice, but it can't cover you. the sound of!"

After glaring at these two unreliable companions angrily, Arturia turned her attention back to their route.

After all, the main force of the coalition forces all have their own tasks at this time. Now there are only three of them going deep into Oxford. If they are discovered by the other party during such a stealth mission in the other party's hometown, there will be a big problem.

[Using the "Homemade Magic Costume·Invisibility Cloak" and "Homemade Magic Costume·Stone Hat", you and your friends successfully bypassed the guards at the Oxford Lord's Mansion and entered the Bell Ringing Hall. 】

[Before the bell-ringing hall, the powerful fairies of the Fang Clan are waiting. 】

[In order to prevent the battle with the opponent from attracting other guards, you used "homemade magic props and timed fool bombs". 】

[After estimating the time, you threw the time fool bomb into the bell-ringing hall. 】

After a strange "bang~" sound, the guards of the Fang Clan who heard the sound quickly looked in the direction of the explosion... only to see slanted eyes, crooked noses, and swollen corners of their mouths. They were dancing and jumping towards their colleagues, giggling as they jumped towards them, as if they were crazy.

"what are you doing?!"

"Let go! Don't rub your snot on my fur!"

"Stay away from me! I'm not a gay!"

Then, when all the guards were restrained by their colleagues who suddenly went crazy, Arturia and her group had quickly bypassed them and entered the hall.

[The goblins of the Fang Clan who were blown up by your timed fool bomb began to do all kinds of stupid things due to the influence of the timed fool bomb, and there was a commotion at the door of the bell-ringing hall. 】

"No matter how many times I see it, I am still amazed...the magic costumes and props made by Miss Artoria are really amazing."

Looking at the chaotic Fang Clan guards, Gareth couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes..." Even Oberon on the side nodded with a complicated expression:

"This can only be said to be a genius idea, although the effect is abstract in every sense... It is hard to imagine that the teacher who taught her magic in the past saw that she could actually make magic-related costumes and props. How will you feel when you get to this point..."

"Uh...well, yes, yes..."

Not sure whether Oberon's words were a compliment or a sinister expression, Arturia looked away with a guilty conscience.

At this moment, a certain skill is displayed in her personal skill box:

[Intrinsic Skill: Taboo Refining·A]

[This skill is sublimated from your personal legendary event "Murderous Chocolate" as an anecdote. 】

[You have extremely excellent ability to make props, and because of your innate talent in taboo knowledge and your production style that is very in line with the principles of taboo refining, the gift props you make will have higher level. 】

[Moreover, the gift props made by your hands will have a chance to randomly come with some additional new abilities, and may even be sublimated into a living magical life form. 】

["Being able to turn chocolate into a murderous monster is a terrifying talent in a sense, right?"]

[——A certain magic teacher who was knocked down by the work submitted by his students]

I have to say that although this skill is as abstract as the magic teacher said...but in a sense, it is really useful.

For example, Artoria and the others were able to sneak into the Bell Ringing Hall so smoothly just now, relying on the magic costumes and props made with this skill:

[Homemade Magic Gift: Invisibility Cloak]

【rarity:? 】

[(Because this gift is made by the player relying on the inherent skill: Taboo Refining·A, the specific production process contains many taboo principles that are difficult to evaluate, such as "I think this should be possible", so the system cannot use this gift. The rarity is evaluated, and the same applies to homemade magic props made with this skill.)]

[This cloak is a magic product made by chance by a magician with low magic power. As long as it is covered over the head, the user's figure will automatically disappear. 】

[Homemade magic costume: stone hat]

【rarity:? 】

[This hat is a magic product made by a lucky magician with a slap on the head. As long as it is worn on the head, it can greatly reduce the presence of the wearer, just like the stones on the roadside. Easily ignored. 】

[Homemade magic props: timed fool bomb]

【rarity:? 】

[This bomb is a magic product made by mistake by a magician who lacks magic foundation. As long as the delayed detonation is set and the bomb is thrown out, it will detonate after a period of time, and the magician will be killed. The chaotic forbidden knowledge of the master was released, which had a great psychological impact on the people around him, causing them to do all kinds of stupid things like fools for a period of time. 】

Although this kind of inexplicable explanation always makes people seem inexplicably angry, and the effect is also inexplicable, but considering that it is unexpectedly useful in certain special occasions, over time, Artoria likes to start relying on her more and more. Use your skills to tinker with new magic costumes and props.

[Riding on the commotion, you successfully entered the bell-ringing hall and successfully rang the prophecy bell. 】

[Due to the reward of ringing the second Pilgrimage Bell, all your attributes except luck will be improved. 】

【Strength C→B】

【Durable C→C】

[Agility D→C]

【Magic D→C】

"Oh, as the entry says, it won't move after it reaches C."

Seeing the results of her attribute improvement, Artoria couldn't help but sigh a little.

This was not the first pilgrim bell she rang, but the first bell she rang was actually the Bell Hall in Gloucester.

And if we want to talk about how she reached cooperation with Murien... we have to go further back, to the day of the "Norwich Disaster".

——On that day, Arturia and the others tracked down the kidnapping cases that occurred one after another in Norwich, looking for the mastermind until they found Guinevere, and they started fighting after the negotiation failed.

Then, they lost.

The defeat was clean and miserable. Guinevere took down Artoria as easily as he was beating a child.

Guinevere has changed, he is no longer the Guinevere he remembers.

Artoria should have noticed this earlier...even at that time, when Guinevere stood on Tristan's side and put the sword on Artoria's neck. , she still didn’t realize this...

Although she should have noticed it in her heart, she still didn't want to admit it... At that time, the only thing that lingered in her heart and occupied all her thoughts was the fact that Guinevere was no longer her companion.

Because...after all, at that time, he still didn't want to do anything to himself, right?He was still Guinevere who pleaded for them in front of Tristan and let them go, so he should still be that gentle person. Even if he planned a kidnapping case, he must have his own reasons... ..

However, Artoria's naive thoughts did not last long.

She finally realized it when she saw Guinevere burning the innocent people with heavenly fire without hesitation, as well as the heroic soldiers fighting the disaster.

Realizing that that person has changed, he is no longer the gentle person in her memory, but has embarked on a path that she cannot allow and has become someone else.

At that time, she stood blankly among the ruins blown down by the howling heat wave, but she only felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Because she can't do anything.

In the past, she was unable to keep him by her side because of her weakness.

Then, because she was weak, she was still unable to stop his transformation.

But now?

She was weak, and even though she couldn't agree with what he was doing, she was completely powerless to stop him.

She felt she should do something, but what should she do?What else can be done?

Arturia was confused.

At this time, she heard noisy sounds coming from the distance, and saw the Knocknare army who was seriously injured and about to fall into coma, and was surrounded by his subordinate soldiers and escaped from Norwich.

Then, naturally, out of concern for the safety of her best friend and out of escaping from the current situation, she and her companions blended into the fleeing Noknare army, and left Norwich with them, heading straight to Edinburgh.

What happened next became more and more natural.

After Nokenale woke up, Arturia went to see Nokenale at the instigation of Gareth Oberon and Redela.

But even if everyone doesn't encourage her, she still wants to see her. After all, that is her good friend. No matter what, she should care about it... However, because the following things seem to have already Some of them met, but Arturia didn't want to take that step.

Because she could already predict the future direction of things.

[Because you feel threatened by the disaster demon "Guinevere", Knocknare invites you to form an alliance with her to discuss matters against the New Darlington Army. 】

[Under the watchful eyes of your friends, you agreed to Noknare’s alliance proposal. 】

She had no way to disagree, and no reason to disagree... Even if she wanted to refuse because of a little selfishness, surrounded by her friends, she couldn't refuse.

Because everyone around her gathered around her because of her, because they deeply believed in her as the child of the prophecy. They fought desperately for this, and now she couldn't say anything that she couldn't agree to because of selfishness.

Then, as if she was being coerced, she mechanically performed the following series of actions:

[After allying with Noknare, Noknare quickly held peace talks with Oberon, the actual leader of the Round Table Army through you, and the Northern Fairy and the Round Table Army reached an alliance. 】

[With the help of Oberon as the intermediary, Knocknare was able to contact and negotiate with Murien. Later, after learning the rumors that Woodworth was about to surrender to New Darlington, Murien agreed to form an alliance. 】

[Under Oberon's suggestion, through Percival as an intermediary, you contacted his sister, the fairy knight Lancelot, and further successfully negotiated peace with her, reaching an alliance to jointly protect Britain and fight against disaster. 】

[After the British Guardian Covenant was reached, and after the leaders of the various forces exchanged opinions, everyone unanimously came to the conclusion that the New Darlington Army should be attacked first, especially its leader, the Elf Knight Tristan, and the actual leader, the "Calamity Demon". "· Guinevere's conclusion. 】

Chapter 41 Encounter!Gun Demon Guinevere!

In this way... It can be said to be inexplicable, it can also be said to be logical. The so-called British United Front was inexplicably established under the promotion of Arturia, the child of prophecy... .Although she herself was just involuntarily carried to this point.

Really inexplicable.

Artoria felt a little ridiculous, but also couldn't help laughing.

It was because of that person that she decided to save Britain in the first place...and now, you're telling her that to save Britain, you have to defeat him?

what is this.

Arturia was confused.

At this time, she was extremely envious of the free and easy nature of Noknare, her friend.

Seeing the depression in Artoria's heart and the reason for her depression, Nokenale also comforted her like this:

"Why do you always look so depressed? I don't even know what you are struggling with."

"You don't agree with what he did? You can't agree with it? That kind of ruthless behavior of killing people at all costs to achieve their goals, and even saying that sometimes they will still kill the killer even if it is not necessary."

"As the saying goes, people with different paths don't work together. Since you can't agree with his approach, then you are naturally an enemy, right?"

"And since he is an enemy, what is there to say? Instead of being caught in the middle and making yourself look depressed and miserable, it is better to just think about how to defeat him."

"The winner will get everything as a matter of course. As long as we defeat him and capture him, what to do with him is not our own business? After that, how to convince him and how to make him one of our own or... How to win his heart back is a matter for the next stage. Then you can think about it slowly..."

"——The most important thing is that no matter what, we must defeat him now."

"Your way of thinking is too simplistic..." When she heard this, Artoria couldn't help but retort in a low voice, but Nokenale said calmly:

"Is there anything wrong with that? Fight, win, and then dominate. Is there any other way besides this? Otherwise, it's like you? Can you frown him back if you frown here every day?"

Although she was not completely convinced by Nokenale's answer... Artoria couldn't find any reason to refute it.

So after that, she picked herself up and took action again.

Yes, we are not fighting to defeat Guinevere, but to bring him back to the right path... Although Artoria feels that the path she is taking is the right path. It was too arrogant, but no matter what, she could not admit that Guinevere's bloody methods were correct.

So, now that you have done a good job of psychological construction, everything else will fall into place.

She passed her own level and decided to find ways to make herself stronger. Therefore, even the "taboo refinement" that she had particularly disliked before was naturally included as a key focus of her attention.

Continuously testing this ability, although she produced all kinds of waste products in batches, including strange and dangerous life forms with consciousness, there were also a large number of useful props among them.

Using all of this to arm herself, Artoria set foot on the battlefield again.

After persuading Murien to form an alliance with Knocknare, Murien opened up the use of the bell hall in Gloucester to them, and then Artoria directly rang the first bell.

What surprised her was that, seemingly because of the entry "Magic Pig Princess", her strength and endurance attributes had already been raised to D before the bell rang. After the bell rang, she The durability attribute, which had never exceeded D in previous simulations, has also reached C level.

Although it was a pity that the durability did not continue to improve after ringing the second bell... But looking at the "Strength B" floating in the status bar, Artoria nodded slightly.

"Yeah! Now, even if I rely on only one person, I can knock out a queen knight with my staff, right?"
