The King of Knights in a Different World
Chapter 3
"I can't beat you, I know, and I know it very well. I don't know why, but when I see you are about to become a queen, my heart is relieved. Because I don't have to bear that ruined future and relax. As a knight, I seem to have become a little selfish." At this moment, Altria was relieved instead.
If her sacrifice can be exchanged for the peace and continuation of the country, the girl will never hesitate. At this moment, she still has such firmness and persistence in her heart. However, if the final outcome is a tragedy, the country will still be destroyed, and her sacrifice will become meaningless. Or, if someone can lead this country to the future in her heart, she is willing to give up the possibility of being a king.
"Selfish? I think this kind of selfishness is pretty good."
"Not bad?"
"Someone once said that you can do whatever you are at any age. A girl like you should be the time to pursue the wind and the snow."
"But you..."
"You do not want to be a king because of the strong desire in your heart, but because only you can save this country, so even if you see the ruined future, you still choose the holy sword. This is also the best between you and the other kings. Different places. If you still have doubts, try what you should do at this age." Lucifer suggested.
The girl does not want to be king because of interest, but because of responsibility. In Lucifer's view, such a heavy responsibility should not be placed on her at least now.
"What should be done, is that sword practice? Then become a knight like my aunt." Altria was a little confused. She seemed to look forward to her aunt.
"Hey, what are you thinking in your head. I mean, try to fall in love. No matter what the final result is, it will be a good memory in your future life." Lucifer Half Suggested jokingly.
Yes, the girl in front of me is only fifteen years old, and only sixteen years old after her birthday this year. If you want to say, falling in love is probably something she is suitable to do right now.
"Love... love! This... this, me, I can't. Not at all, I don't want to." Altria's expression became very flustered, she blushed and her voice became stammered.
"Oh why?"
"No one likes a girl like me. Because of practice, my whole body is muscled, not as slender as a noble lady. Moreover, I don't even have a reliable object to talk about love." The girl fell into self-denial.
In her mind, the girl in love should be the kind of thing that aristocratic lady would do. Because of her exercise, she has mostly muscles. Whether it is personality or body, she is not a soft girl like Missy, so she has a low self-esteem.
"Yes!"
Lucifer's words made the girl lower her head even more.
"and so…"
"So think about me? Forgive me for my lack of self-effacement. I consider myself a very good knight and possess the virtues of other people. Although I don’t know the level of the world, whether it’s strategy or force, if you use a hundred In terms of points, I believe that I am at least above 90." Lucifer came to the girl, and he stopped and looked at the knight girl earnestly.
With this sentence, the atmosphere between them became ambiguous.
Listening to this hesitant confession-like announcement, the girl's brain instantly went into a crash state. From now on, without accident, Lucifer will become her king. The confession in this case, the girl is naturally very confused.
The story that the female knight and the king have to tell?
"Please... please don't make such a joke." Altria desperately denied it, and she couldn't believe it.
"Okay! Okay! It seems that I am not sensitive enough to the girl's heart, but the suggestion I just made is not a joke, really."
"I…"
Just when the girl was about to say something, another bitter voice came into their ears.
"Altria!" The owner of the voice is Lungominiad, the duke who is known as the goddess of dragon blood. At this moment, she had put on her armor, and she was still holding a silver spear in her hand.
"Auntie!" In an instant, Altria's panic turned into fear.
"You go down and rest first, I have something to tell this strange knight."
"he!"
"Go down, rest." Lungominiad increased his tone.
"Yes!" The girl reluctantly agreed, but before leaving, she seemed to be worried about Lucifer, so she added.
"Don't worry, he didn't do anything right."*
no.8 Ways to express gratitude (seeking votes, flowers)
A cold wind blows, and the girl's figure has disappeared. But don't know why, Lucifer felt that the chill from Lungominia was a little bit more.
"I always feel that there is a trend that is getting darker and darker. Let me guess, if not surprising, it should be the third-rate magician who made you hear something." For a long time, Lucifer said first.
Except for Merlin, he couldn't think of the reason why Lungominiad would come here to block himself. Merlin didn't stop him from becoming king before, but it didn't mean that Merlin did nothing.
In fact, Lucifer's illusion did not last long.
"Merlin did report a lot of things to me. It also includes the holy sword in your hand. Maybe you should regret that you didn't directly chop off his head last time."
"Did he even tell you this? Yes, the weak rabbit did not have the courage to conceal the facts when facing the lion. Is your current expression intending to inquire about it? Because the direction of this country is different from what you expected ." Lucifer's words became sharper.
Your own appearance will undoubtedly affect many people, but not everyone can accept their own influence like a knight girl. The position of the Duchess in front of her is likely to be completely opposite to that of Altria.
"As a relative, I want to thank you. From the beginning, we didn't want Altria to bear the entire country. This burden was too heavy on her immature shoulders, but at that time, no one except her could bear it. This important task. That's why I want to thank you, thank you for freeing her from the shackles of the country." Lungo Miniyad said thank you.
Her words also made Lucifer understand that he had misunderstood the knight duke in front of him.
"Sorry, please forgive me for being rude. I thought you were a steel lion king who would sacrifice his relatives for the country without hesitation. What you say now makes me feel a little apologetic."
"No need to apologize. The gun in my hand exists for this country. I can sacrifice anyone for this. It doesn't matter if the world can't explain it. I have never expected anyone's understanding." He said in a cold tone. will.
"Compared to her, you are more like a qualified king." Looking at the duchess in front of her, Lucifer felt that it might be more appropriate for her to become a king.
However, this is impossible. Without the approval of the Holy Sword, she would lose the righteousness to rule this country. Now that the Holy Sword had already recognized the Lord, even if she forcibly claimed the king, she would only be conquered by the other three dukes.
"But I can't pick up the Holy Sword, the Holy Sword didn't agree with me. Sorry!" Lungominiad's expression was very calm. She stands here to protect this country, and she doesn't really care much about who is the king.
In other words, as long as that future can be achieved, she will agree with who is on the throne. This is the same as the knight girl.
"Sorry? I don't think you need to be sorry, you..." Lucifer was only halfway through when he saw the silver spear in his eyes stab at him quickly.
With force under his feet, Lucifer had retreated for a long time in an instant. A few strands of my own hair floated in the air, which also made me now somewhat understand what the other party's just apologetic meant.
"As a relative, I will thank you. But at the same time, as the Duke of Britain, I also need to test your qualifications as a king. Even if the Holy Sword has recognized you, it is the same." Lungominiad nodded, very Satisfied with Lucifer's reaction.
"Tested in this way? Should I say that you really have your style."
"Yes! If you can't even pass my level, even if you get the holy sword, you won't be able to get the approval of the other three grand princes. Pull out your holy sword and show me its true brilliance."
"Really? So, it's rude." Lucifer pulled out the holy sword from his waist, and the light covered the entire sword. That is the brilliant sword that embodies the belief in victory. However, Lucifer did not stop there.
"May the fire coexist with me."
Accompanied by the chanting of the incantation, Lucifer swung the sword, and a flame spread along his arm to the entire sword. This time it was not the fire of sin, but the fire of the beginning.
"Very good! It is this power that radiates light in the dark, dispels the cold, and illuminates the entire dark age, so that the people can see hope and continue the fire of the entire country. Continue!"
The gun in Lengominyade's hand glowed white, and she rushed towards Lucifer.
The moment the sword hit the gun, the light shone, the air vibrated, and the earth shattered, as if it had become another day. The pressure from the air made the surrounding grass all bow their heads. At the intersection of fire and light, the battle between them has surpassed the limit that ordinary people can reach. This is a ritual of mutual recognition, and I believe in their own proofs.
After a long time, the ground was deformed, and it was in a deep pit. Lungominiad and Lucifer were panting. The clothes on Lucifer's body are still intact, compared with Lungominiad's ordinary armor is a bit dilapidated, they fell into pieces. The high-level spear holy sword shattered under the impact.
"Sorry! I seem to be a bit addicted to my previous instincts." Lucifer said with a smile after retracting the sword.
"No need to apologize, I haven't met an opponent like you for a long time, you make me very satisfied."
"Here! As the duchess, you don't seem to be in front of others." During the words, Lucifer took off his clothes and threw them to Lungominiad.
Lungominiad didn't have any expressions of shyness, and naturally accepted Lucifer's kindness. Although she didn't fit her well, she at least covered her whole body now.
"Well, did you show mercy just now?" Lengominyade asked after packing his appearance.
"It's not the same for you, and it's not a battle of life and death. It's just a test, just click as far as it is. I don't know if my knight is qualified as a sparring partner?" Lucifer was like a gentleman while talking. Spread out his right hand to Lungominiad.
"Qualified! Fully qualified. I really hope I can fight you like this in the future, but you will be crowned king tomorrow. Maybe there will be no such opportunity in the future." A smile appeared on Lungominiad's face. , Put her hand on Lucifer's hand. Accepted this helpful etiquette.
"King, for the public. If it is private time, I would welcome your visit."
"The kingly way you are heading is completely different from Altria's."
They supported each other and left here. Along the way, their conversation began to turn to a certain cute knight girl.
"Because, I am very strong. Whether it is body or mind. As for our lovely girl knight, give her another ten years, she will be strong, give her twenty years, she may reach the peak of life. But now...I will Looking forward to her growth as a knight, not a king."
"You like her very much."
"I like you too!"
Under the moonlight, they returned to the long-awaited castle together. *
no.9 The four dukes of Britain (please ask for votes, ask for flowers)
Inside Lungominiad’s castle, there were fully armed solemn knights all around. They strictly guard everything around them to prevent any suspicious persons and intruders.
At the top of the castle, this is where the castle is most heavily guarded, and the nearby knights were moved away to prevent them from hearing the subsequent conversation. There are five different figures sitting beside a white jade stone table. Three women and two men, they are the current four princes of Britain and the new king who is about to be crowned.
At the invitation of Lungominiad, the other three grand princes came here. Get ready to meet Lucifer, the new king. At the same time, this is also a ceremony of identification. If you want to be crowned, you must first get the support of the four princes. The meaning of Lungominiad is already very obvious. Although she supported Lucifer, Lucifer still needs to rely on her own ability to get the other three.
The black tea on the table has become cold, but none of the people here wants to taste it. The three justices looked at Lucifer, their eyes focused on the holy sword in his hand. The sword has been sheathed, and the overall appearance is not visible, but the luxurious exterior outside the sheath can be seen.
Lucifer changed into a formal suit rarely seen, a white armor, and a white cloak behind him. If only from the outside, it looked like Lengominyade. In fact, this armor was also sent by Lungominia.
While the three princes were looking at Lucifer, he was also looking at them. For a while, the atmosphere became a little weird.
"Hey! Is this our new king. It looks surprisingly young, and he has my appetite." The Grand Duke of the West, Semiramis spoke first.
Unlike Lungominiad, who is a sideline of the royal family for countless generations, this beautiful woman is an elf, and is said to be a direct descendant of the contract elf made by the first king. Until now, she has been regarded as the veteran of the three dynasties.
"Finally someone can stand up. I thought no one can inherit the crown." The smiling woman has long red hair and looks full of maternal brilliance. Her name is Budika, the Duke of the East. [Goddess of Victory] who has resisted the invasion of Holy Rome several times.
"Lengominiad, I don't know where you found this guy, but can he really take on the responsibility of protecting this country?" The person who spoke this time was a serious man, Joel. Jos, the Grand Duke of the South, is a family of swords who have served the royal family in the past. Because of his achievements in slaying the dragon, he was called Saint George by the world.
"No matter who he is, he drew the holy sword in the stone, and the holy sword also chose him. The one who drew the holy sword is the king of Britain. This is not only the legacy of the previous kings, but also the history of Britain. The tradition since then." The response to Giorgios was Lungomaniard, the Grand Duke of the North, the strongest knight in Britain, with many titles such as the glorious lion and the goddess of ice and blood.
Guarding the northern fortress for many years, she has achieved her fame with the blood of countless Ruths in the glacier country. At the same time, she was also a sideline of the king. Although she had been separated from the royal family countless generations ago, her bloodline was awakened in this generation and she was honored to become the North Duke.
"But he doesn't have royal blood." Saint George retorted immediately.
"Morgan, who has the blood of the royal family, is not only unable to draw the holy sword, but also unable to fulfill the responsibility of the king. If the country is handed over to her, the people will not recognize her legitimacy, let alone those aristocrats with inflated ambitions. In the end, this The country will only go to destruction" Lungominiad opened his eyes and looked at St. George indifferently.
The royal family is not without queens, but it is obviously impossible for Morgan to become queen.
"I can't agree. If you are not a member of the royal family, you want to inherit this country. In this way, what is the meaning of the country left by the ancestor."
"Oh! What's the point, do you mean that the inheritance of royal blood is more important than saving the country in front of you?" Sitting on the top, Lucifer said in a timely manner.
"I... never meant that."
"It seems that the royal bloodline seems to be more recognized by you than an unknown person like me who didn't know where it came from." During the words, Lucifer looked at the three grand princes next to him.
Although they are not direct, their expressions have already explained the meaning. After all, no matter how you look at it, Lucifer looks very suspicious, but there is a royal family member with blood, and the two are not comparable at all.
"It's not such an exaggeration, but you also said it yourself, an unknown person who didn't know where it came from. We only saw you for the first time today. If we want us to believe in you, don't you think it's too strange? ?" Semiramis's expression seemed casual, but he told a fact.
"Really, then I won't talk too much nonsense. I will only ask one question now, four dukes, are you still willing to unite under this holy sword." Lucifer got up, with the holy sword in hand. Unplug. He put the shining holy sword directly on the tabletop.

no.10 It doesn’t matter who I am (please ask for votes, ask for flowers)
The light of the holy sword shone on the faces of everyone, and the eyes of the four grand princes were all attracted by the holy sword in front of them. Yes, how could it be possible to forget that they used to fight everywhere under the leadership of the master of this sword, and the glory that led to victory can't be forgotten as long as they have seen it once.
"This kind of brilliance is really the sword. It's not wrong." Boudicka stretched out her hand to touch the sword, but took it back halfway. It seems that I am worried that I will damage its brilliance.
"I really want to agree, but..." Semiramis looked at the rest of the people around him and made a deliberate hesitation.
"..."
"..."
St. George was silent, while Lungominiad was waiting for Lucifer to deal with it. Whether one's own power, whether he can control the methods of his officials, and whether he has the ability to know and use people, all of these test whether a king is a king or not. If it can pass smoothly, there will be less trouble in the future.
"Everyone, who am I? Where do I come from? Or am I from Britain? It doesn't matter. What's important is that at this moment, this country is like a crazy beast that has reached the brink of crisis. It needs A king, a king who is strong enough to control this beast of disaster." Don't care about other things, but put everything in the king and the country itself, this is the absolute king's speech.
The question at hand is not whether Lucifer is the right candidate. But from the beginning, this country has not had too many options. It needs a king, no matter what the unknown person is, whether it is a tyrant or a virtuous king. It doesn't matter.
"Really. What if you can't?" Semiramis put her right hand to her mouth, and a cruel smile hung from the corner of her mouth.
"Duke Semiramis. Since you all have doubts about me, I will give you a privilege. If I can't do it, you can kill me at any time. Then choose a new one for this sword. the host."
Lucifer's words made the atmosphere of the scene suddenly become tense. There seems to be a tendency for a war to break out. The relationship between the Grand Duke and the new king seems to have dropped to a freezing point.
"Hey! Don't be so angry, everyone, our goal is the same, for Britain. Now there is no need to be like an enemy." Budika felt that the situation was not right, and she immediately came out to ease the atmosphere.
"Duke Boudicca, do you agree?" St. George looked at his compatriot.
"At least I have no reason to object. The country needs a king, and he drew the holy sword that no one can drew at this time. I don't think this is a funny accident. I would rather believe that this is what everyone says. fate."
