484 One More Thing
Thinking about it again, Gawain was no different from the last time he was in Salisbury.
He was still as tall as ever, and still looked fully armed. The only difference was that the other party no longer held the flaming sword like last time. Instead, he put the sword away and no longer looked so powerful. Aggression.
Li Ge looked at this unexpected visitor and said in surprise.
"How did you come?"
When Li Ge said this sentence, he didn't have much hostility, he was just purely puzzled.
However, Gawain doesn't seem to think so.
"This is the palace, His Majesty's bedroom. We, the goblin knights, are all allowed to come and go here as we please. What's the problem with appearing here?" Gawain looked down at him with a height that was even taller than Li Ge's. Although he didn't give people a domineering feeling, he still said aggressively: "You still don't dare to put people who have been enemies into your room casually? You must not be such a narrow-minded person, right? "
"How do you know that I am very powerful?" Li Ge narrowed his eyes and said with a faint smile, "Maybe I am just a villain?"
"There is no benefit in belittling yourself." Gawain frowned and said: "If a person can wield such slashes that keep advancing like fire, if such a person is a villain, then I would like to see him. .
"Are you deliberately flattering me? Or are you trying to promote yourself in disguise?" Li Ge glanced at Gawain and said, "Can't you also perform that kind of slashing attack?"
"That's why I became somewhat interested in you, son of prophecy." Gawain still looked at Li Ge condescendingly, and said: "You can control the fire of the sun just like me, and you can also use the sword of the black devil dog. Sir, your fighting style is really similar to mine."
In response to Gawain's statement, Li Ge said a word without even changing his expression.
"The Breath of the Sun is just one of my fighting methods, and the Three-Headed Dog of Hell is just one of my summons. I can summon them as long as I want, whether it's a lightning storm or a giant dragon and a wolf."
Li Ge sat down at a table in the center of the room and pointed to the seat opposite.
"Forget it, I'm a welcome guest. Now that I'm here, let's sit down and chat."
Hearing this, Gao Wen looked at Li Ge intently for a while, and then sat down in front of Li Ge.
"Want tea or wine?"
Li Ge opened a few cups, rinsed them with water, and asked without raising his head.
"liquor."
Gawain did not hesitate and chose directly.
"Can ale be used?" Li Ge conjured up a wine bottle like a magic trick and said, "Although I also have fruit wine and mead here, Salisbury doesn't have much stock of mead. It's considered a high-end product. I have this. There isn’t much on the side, so I won’t serve you out this time. I guess you don’t like fruit wine, right?”
"I'm not a child." Gawain frowned again, glanced at Li Ge's hand that conjured a wine bottle out of thin air with some concern, and then said: "Ale will do."
Li Ge immediately poured a glass of ale for Gawain.
Gawain did not pick up the wine glass immediately, but continued to look at Li Ge intently, and after a while he suddenly made a sound.
"Facing you face to face like this, it's hard to see how powerful you are."
Gawain felt this.
"In your opinion, what is strength?"
Saige picked up the ale poured in front of him and said with a half-smile.
"I have seen many powerful people." Gawain also picked up the wine glass and said Shiran: "There are existences like His Majesty that make people feel suffocated all the time, and there are people like Lancelot who exude... The type of atmosphere that is different from ordinary people, there are also guys like Woodworth who show themselves, but I have never seen you like this. At first glance, if you don't stare carefully, you may not even notice it. figure."
"Looking at you now, for a moment just now, I almost couldn't help but doubt you."
"I suspect that on that day in Salz
Bury has always shown fighting spirit and madness. The extremely powerful warrior who can resist me, Lancelot, and Woodworth alone, and fight until he is scarred, will be the one in front of me now. you. 「
Hearing this, Li Ge smiled.
Immediately afterwards, his whole body's atmosphere suddenly changed.
"So, does it look like it doesn't look like it now?"
Li Ge's relaxed and leisurely tone changed completely, and he became calm and indifferent. At this moment, he was exuding a terrifying aura.
"————!"
Gawain's pupils shrank, and then he showed a carnivore-like expression.
"That's right! That's it!" Gawain's calm voice seemed to start to take on heat, as if suppressing some impulse, he smiled and said: "This is you at that time! The one who has the courage to fight against the Fang Clan alone. You, the clan leader and the two strongest fairy knights!"
The chains on Gawain's hands began to rattle.
Seeing Gao Wen like this, Li Ge suddenly put away all his aura and used the method of penetrating the world's closed fighting spirit and breath to minimize his sense of existence.
"Isn't this what you came here to say?" Li Ge took a sip of ale and said calmly: "I didn't know that the lord of Manchester actually has so much free time on weekdays."
As fairy knights directly under Queen Morgan, whether it is Gawain, Lancelot or Tristan, they all have their own territories.
Gawain's territory is a city called Manchester, which is located in the north of Britain, the fairy country, and is a city very close to the coast.
In other words, goblin knights are actually considered nobles in the goblin country of Britain, and are superior goblins whose status is comparable to that of the clan heads of major clans.
Especially Gawain, she is the first fairy knight in the history of the fairy kingdom. She has been a fairy knight for more than two hundred years and is considered the oldest fairy knight.
In comparison, Tristan was only named a fairy knight about a hundred years ago, and Lancelot was almost the same. Compared with Gawain, both of them were just juniors.
But it is the junior Lancelot who is known as the most powerful fairy knight in the fairy country, which is somewhat interesting.
Gawain, who didn't know what Li Ge was thinking, saw that he had restrained his momentum. He immediately acted like a beast that had put away its fangs. He took a deep breath and calmed down.
"Your Majesty has ordered that your wedding will be held in one month. At that time, all the elf knights and the clan leaders of the major clans will be present." Gawain said: "In addition, there are thirty ambassadors and one hundred Officials, they will all attend your wedding."
"In accordance with His Majesty's will, all attendees are now making preparations and slowly gathering in Camelot."
"Manchester is not far from Camelot, and I am the original Fairy Knight, so I came first."
After hearing Gawain's words, Li Ge suddenly felt that the ale in his hand no longer smelled good.
"In other words, you are all ready to agree with Her Majesty the Queen and attend the wedding in a month?" Li Ge looked at Gawain and said: "You are actually willing to let the Queen marry an outsider? This person is still mentioned in the prophecy The enemy who overthrew the Queen's rule? "
By now, Li Ge had naturally noticed that the goblins seemed to have a huge misunderstanding.
They believe that they are the savior mentioned in the prophecy and the rumored son of the prophecy.
Where this statement came from, Li Ge could probably guess it. It was Woodworth who was just talking about being the son of the prophecy when they first met.
Li Ge did not deny it. In order to distract Arturia, he did not refute it for now.
Under such circumstances, Li Ge thought that when the first patrol bell had been rung, the people of the Queen's Army would regard themselves as enemies that must be eradicated.
Now it seems that Gawain has a different view?
This is indeed the case.
Gawain had no objection to Li Ge becoming a prince and the queen's husband.
"It is natural for the strong to combine with the strong. Both you and your majesty are strong men that I sincerely recognize, so I have no reason to object." Gawain said: "Besides, the swordsman and dominator who are transformed into the sun Queen of Winter, don’t you think these two go well together?”
"Huh?" Li Ge almost failed to understand what Gawain meant.
"...Sorry, it seems that I am not suitable for joking." Gawain paused, and then said: "It doesn't actually matter what our opinions are. The supreme ruler of Britain is Your Majesty, and her words are absolute. , no matter how many people are dissatisfied, no one will stand up to oppose it. "
This sounds very dictatorial. In fact, Morgan is really a dictator in the fairy country of Britain.
This queen has been ruling the entire Fairy Kingdom for the past two thousand years, relying on dictatorship and a reign of terror.
Before Morgan became queen, the fairy country of Britain was dominated by six clans.
Each of the six major clans occupies a place in the fairy country of Britain, and they dominate each other like six princes. They have been fighting each other for thousands of years, and no one surrenders. This is Britain before Morgan came to power.
It wasn't until Morgan was born that she launched an attack from Orkney in the north as a witch who controlled great magic, and went all the way south, defeating one clan after another. Finally, the whole of Britain was pacified and ruled by her with force. The country was unified.
After that, Morgan was crowned king in the Great Temple. While granting humans a certain degree of freedom, laying a cultural foundation, and spending two thousand years to build today's society, Morgan, like her title of witch, launched an attack on Britain. He imposed a very cruel rule, not only the quantity of human production was strictly managed, but also the fairies were controlled and forced to engrave the spell written by Morgan - the Command Seal.
The goblins who are engraved with this command spell will be forced to absorb magic power once a year. If they fail to donate enough magic power to satisfy Morgan, the goblins will be killed on the spot and die of having their magic power (life force) sucked out.
This is the tax called existence tax in the fairy kingdom, and it is the most frightening thing among fairies besides "disaster".
And this kind of Morgan would often say this to the fairies when he sat on the Amyrlin Seat.
"I will not forgive you, let alone save you. You just need to obey, hang your head, and protect this Britain with cheap loyalty."
This is Queen Morgan, a terrifying witch and terrifying dictator.
It was for this reason that Li Ge said something like "What a domineering way of ruling" in the Amyrlin Hall.
The magic power absorbed from all over Britain was stored in the Amyrlin Seat by Morgan.
Any goblins who could not tolerate Morgan's rule were dealt with.
Those who have not been dealt with have escaped from the city and fled to a land unknown to anyone.
This shows how domineering and powerful Morgan's rule over the fairy country of Britain is.
Therefore, she does not need to listen to anyone's opinions, nor will she listen to other people's opinions, other people's dissatisfaction and opposition to Morgan. It's just asking for death.
Therefore, when Morgan decided to marry Li Ge, they had to comply regardless of whether others were dissatisfied.
Li Ge, who understood what Gawain meant, suddenly asked a question after being silent for a while.
"What about Beryl Gart?"
Gawain was stunned by the sudden question.
"Beryl Gart?" Gawain was surprised and said, "Do you know that suspicious human being?"
"That's right." Li Ge nodded noncommittally and said, "Isn't he Morgan's husband?"
"Him?" Gawain immediately frowned and replied, "I don't know where you heard such a thing from, but I can tell you that that suspicious human being is not your Majesty's husband."
"Your Majesty has never mentioned such a thing. When she introduced Beryl Gat to us, she used the word "accomplice". "
These words made Derig completely silent.
Now, there is one more thing that is out of control.
As far as Rieger knows, in the original novel, Beryl Garter is Morgan's acknowledged husband.
That person had an extremely important influence on the birth and emergence of Morgan and the fairy country of Britain. Without him, Morgan, who had ruled the fairy country of Britain for two thousand years, would not have appeared, and neither would the fairy country of Britain.
For this reason, Morgan accepted him as her husband, even though there was no love between them.
But now, the plot has changed.
"Can you tell me where that guy is now?"
Li Ge tentatively asked Gawain.
"He is in New Darlington." Although Gawain was confused as to why Rige asked about that suspicious human being, he still answered his question and said: "He was attracted by His Majesty's adopted daughter, the goblin knight Tristan. , Tristan allowed him to do whatever he wanted in New Darlington, so he built a killing theater there, letting goblins and humans kill each other every day and watch their fights."
Speaking of this, Gawain's face showed explicit displeasure.
Clearly, she was dissatisfied with this approach.
"New Darlington..."
Li Ge immediately tapped his fingers on the table, looking thoughtful.
This part is the same as the original work and has not changed.
So, it's possible that the plot hasn't been changed that much.
"Will he also attend the wedding then?"
Li Ge's heart moved and he asked this question again.
...Maybe?" Gawain said with some uncertainty: "He often moves with Tristan, and the relationship with His Majesty is not as simple as it seems on the surface, so the possibility of coming is still very high. 「
"Is that so?" Li Ge smiled and said, "Then I would like to meet him."
Perhaps, from Beryl Gat, he could learn what happened to Morgan.
No matter how bad it is, through Beryl Gat's state, Li Ge can also judge what is going on in the "outside world" and when those foreign magicians who will come to help the Son of Prophecy will come to the fairy country of Britain.
Li Ge, who was thinking about such a thing, heard Gawain say this.
"...Since you mentioned Beryl Gart, let me give you a reminder." Gawain suddenly said to Rige: "Be careful with Tristan."
Li Ge came back to his senses and raised his eyebrows at Gawain.
"Tristan?"
Li Ge turned his attention to Gawain.
Seeing this, Gawain thought about his words and then said this.
"Although the nature of fairies in Britain is different, they are both harmful and beneficial existences. There are bad things and good things."
"But Tristan is different."
"She is a fairy who is only harmful. She is someone who likes to play with life and trample on the weak. Regardless of whether they are humans or fairies, she will treat them as toys."
Gawain didn't seem to like Tristan's style either, so he told Rigg.
"She could have many reasons for killing others, or she could have no reasons at all."
"Even if it's just a whim, an impulse, or even a reason like "I'm bored anyway, let's just kill him", she will not hesitate to take action against the people around her. "
"But she is still His Majesty's adopted daughter and a member of the Fairy Knights, so I have to protect her in the past. His Majesty also loves her very much and has been indulging her behavior and allowing her to kill."
"Similarly, Tristan also admires His Majesty and regards Him as the greatest being."
After saying so much, Li Ge finally heard clearly what Gawain wanted to express.
"You mean, Tristan is the only one who would take action against me when no one else dares to disobey Morgan?"
Regarding Li Ge's question, Gawain gave a half-affirmative and half-negative answer.
"Even Tristan wouldn't dare to openly
Disobeying Your Majesty, but she may indeed take action against you. 「
Gawain's words made Li Ge laugh again.
"Is she strong?"
The faint words made Gawain narrow his eyes slightly.
"What I'm giving you is just a reminder, not advice."
Gawain said these words expressionlessly.
Others didn't know what the implication was, but Li Ge was very knowledgeable.
"Thanks."
Li Ge toasted Gawain with a glass of wine.
"I just said a few more words for the sake of your strength." Gawain looked directly at Li Ge and said with stern eyes: "I hope to have the opportunity to fight you again."
Li Ge responded calmly.
"Me too."
