The Book of Maiden Contract

Chapter 818 Purple-Haired Girl, Is She One of Them?

Time passed quickly, and it was another half a month in the blink of an eye. During this period, nothing major happened in Britannia, but the plague in the border villages had been resolved.

Lancelot and Bedivere also returned to the royal city. The news they brought back was that Lin Luo's magic potion was very effective. The knights and the medical team took the potion before entering the village and were not infected. As for the villagers, some were so infected that they could not be rescued in time, but most of them recovered. In addition, they don't know if the plague will recur. Just in case, after bringing out the living villagers, they set fire to the village, and then resettled the villagers in the surrounding area, leaving the medical team and some knights to observe, and the others came back to report.

Artoria was very satisfied with the result, and praised it, and said that everyone who participated in this operation could advance to one level. And Lin Luo also felt that there was no problem. Since the plague did not spread out of the village at first, and Lancelot and the others burned it in time, then there should be no recurrence in the future. After all, he is still very confident in Mu Naoxiang's potion.

Therefore, Lin Luo strikes while the iron is hot, and puts forward a suggestion to find the Holy Grail when everyone is in a good mood: "Although the country is peaceful and foreign enemies dare not invade, [***] is safe, but natural disasters are hard to prevent. For example, if this plague event is not handled properly, it will cause a huge disaster. I believe everyone knows that there is a miraculous thing in this world called the Holy Grail, which is the existence that even magicians yearn for. , no disasters, no disasters, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. As a knight who protects the country and the people, I think finding the Holy Grail is the next top priority."

Lin Luo's words were full of emotion, and he was simply a minister of the country who worried about the country and the people. Although the knights have never seen the Holy Grail, they also know that the mystery of the Holy Grail is endless. If obtaining the Holy Grail can really bring peace to the country and the people, they, as knights, will naturally do their part. Moreover, being able to resolve the plague incident satisfactorily this time does not mean that it will be able to do so next time. If there is another conflict of opinion with my king, it will not be a blessing for the country.

So, after some discussions, the knights also agreed to Lin Luo's proposal, and most of the knights offered to let them find the Holy Grail. Lin Luo and Artoria did not object to this, and Artoria also decided to go there in person.

Originally, the knights did not decide that the king would travel in person, but Arturia's attitude was firm, so they had no choice but to accept it.

But the king and the knights set out to search for the Holy Grail. It was obviously not feasible to leave the royal city empty. In the end, after some discussion, they finally made the following decision: Lancelot and Gawain were in charge of the royal city. And Artoria took Lin Luo and Bedivere and set off first, and the remaining knights were assigned by themselves.

Lin Luo faintly felt that there might be problems with Lancelot and Gao Wen defending the royal city, but there seemed to be no suitable candidates other than them. After all, there was no doubt about Lancelot's loyalty before Artoria ordered Guinevere to be burned to death. Even Morgan couldn't take advantage of it. And Arturia took the initiative to let Lancelot NTR, and she set out to find the holy lake, how could she burn Guinevere to death?

Lin Luo knew that his intuition was very accurate, and even a momentary inspiration might become a reality. In the past, he probably would not let Lancelot and Gawain defend the city, but now he is a little confused, because the era he lived in was more than a thousand years ago.

If this doomed history has changed because of my own intervention, will there still be people and things I know in the future? But I have done so much, and some chain effects have occurred to some extent, and I took Artoria to find the holy lake, which has never been recorded in history. If it is to be changed, it may have already been changed... Lin Luo does not know what will happen, but he is already trapped in the vortex of history. No matter what he does, he will not be 100% satisfied, so it is better to let nature take its course.

Therefore, Lin Luo did not stop Artoria's decision, and let Lancelot and Gawain sit in the royal city. Three days later, he took Li Huazuo and Cirno, and Artoria took Bedivere, and the five left the royal city quickly.

"Have sister and Hades left yet?" Not long after Lin Luo and the others left, Morgan came to the royal city and found Mordred. After getting the exact news, she smiled.

Arturia is not there, and Morgan can't see her, so the plan will not be affected by feelings. Lin Luo is not here, and the person she regards as the biggest obstacle will not come to disrupt her actions again. The entire royal city was guarded by Lancelot and Gao Wen, and it seemed impenetrable, but that was only for foreign enemies.

At least in Morgan's view, the current royal city is too empty.

"It seems I must go and see Lancelot."

Morgan left Mordred's room and walked in a certain direction. Lancelot, Knight of the Lake? The first Knight of the Round Table? Hmph, she, Morgan, is not afraid at all. The only thing she fears are Merlin and Hades, the two magicians with both wisdom and strength. The rest are all pawns, and Lancelot is her best pawn!

"It's a pity, Hades, although you are strong and full of wisdom, and you see through what I want to do, but because of your strength, I know you don't take me seriously at all. If you are in the royal city, I will naturally be powerless, but you should never leave at this time. Do you think Lancelot can stop me? No, no one can stop me now. My wish can finally come true... Hahahaha!"

Morgan let out a hearty laugh as he walked. Merlin was already hidden and could no longer stop her. Hades had already left and was powerless to stop her. At this moment...even the world couldn't stop her!

... Lin Luo didn't know that Morgan had already launched an action shortly after he left. This doesn't mean that he miscalculated. At least he knew Morgan's ambitions very early on, but he was worried about too many things that made him unable to make a decision. Since he decided to let nature take its course, he didn't want to worry about other things, as long as he took good care of the people around him.

Therefore, even if he knew what Morgan had done, he would not interfere too much. For him, and even for Artoria, the most important thing now is to find the holy lake.

The answer they want is there!

But where is the holy lake? Lin Luo and Artoria don't know, but this is not a problem, because they have the king's sword and scabbard, both of which come from the holy lake, and are inseparably linked, as long as they rely on the induction of the two, no matter whether they are on the cliff or the cape.

When Merlin said that they were able to find the holy lake, it was not without purpose.

"Where should we go now?" Bedivere couldn't help asking after the group of five left the king's city and went through a few more villages and towns. Although she was loyal to carry out the king's orders, she was not a person without opinions, not the kind of person who would only obey orders.

Artoria swung the King's Sword, closed her eyes and felt silently. After a while, she opened her eyes and pointed the tip of the sword to the right, "There."

The Sword of the King has a connection with the Holy Lake. Artoria only knew about it half a month ago. It was the first time she used this connection, but the effect was quite good. As long as she closed her eyes and looked at the Sword of the King with her heart, a vague vein would appear in her mind. If she walked along this vein, she would most likely be able to find the Holy Lake.

"Then let's go in this direction, but I think the road is a bit difficult to walk." Lin Luo looked over and found that it was a very rugged mountain road. Judging from this situation, the holy lake might be in the deep mountains and old forests. But of course if you think about it carefully, if the holy lake appears in a place where people can easily see it, let the world know that there are two holy lakes, is that okay?

"Mountain road horses will be difficult to walk." Before everyone set off, Li Huazuo said suddenly, looking at the white horses with a trace of pity, she obviously did not forget the last time the three white horses turned into black horses.

"Well, it seems that we can only abandon our horses and walk." Knowing that she was kind by nature, Lin Luo proposed to everyone.

"That's all." Artoria nodded.

Afterwards, everyone abandoned their horses and went on foot. Of course, Qi Lunuo flew. Although Lin Luo has a more advanced means of transportation than horses, he does not intend to use it. After all, that kind of thing is too high-tech, and in order to prevent possible dangers, it is better to keep some cards in the hole.

... somewhere unknown, there was a man sitting by a pond fishing. This person's appearance is very handsome, with the determination of a man and the softness of a woman. From the face, he looks like he is only about 30 years old, but he has white hair, and his eyes are fixed on the lake, full of wisdom.

He just sat quietly by the lake, like an old monk in meditation, the fish was not hooked, and he did not make any movements.

"They have already set off." Not long after, a beautiful blonde girl came to his side and said softly.

The man nodded, and then sighed, "King Arthur set off at the right time, but I don't know if I can persist until I see them."

There was a hint of sadness in his words, as if he was going to die at any moment, the girl only felt sad when she heard it.

These two people are undoubtedly Merlin, the magician, and Vivienne, the goddess of the lake.

Legend has it that Morgan used Vivienne to seduce Merlin in order to deal with King Arthur, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"I said, you ladyboy, do you want to harm me or help me? I almost died just now!"

Just when the two were silent, a girl ran over from behind them, aggressive.

The girl is around sixteen or seventeen years old, her beautiful appearance reveals a hint of violent tendencies, her long purple hair is quite eye-catching, and a white hollowed-out ribbon is tied on her left bun.
