877 The Holy Sword and the scabbard...the Different Directions of the Same Person

When the war was completely over, the rain had stopped, and Mordred's body lay flat on the ground. The long gun stuck in her chest had not been pulled out, and the blood had gradually started to solidify in her wound. The serene face It seemed to be telling others that her death was not painful.

Artoria just stared blankly, neither crying nor speaking.

"My king." A voice rang in her ear, it was Bedivere.

Maybe it was the blessing she received because of her loyalty, or maybe it was the blessing of the Creator. In the melee just now, although she was also knocked to the ground, she just lost consciousness and did not die. Aside from looking a little embarrassed, she didn't even have any injuries on her body... One has to wonder if she put all her attribute points into dodge to achieve such a record.

"Bedivere, it's great that you're still alive." Artoria's gaze finally shifted away from Mordred's body. She hadn't seen Bedivere before, and thought that the other party was also killed in battle. The grief in my heart weakened somewhat with the appearance of this knight.

"King, we should go." Bedivere called out softly. From Vivienne, she not only knew Morgan's plan, but also knew about the intricate and forbidden love. She had a deep understanding of the king's grief. .

"Yeah, we should really leave this place..." Arturia stood up slowly, and glanced at the corpse on the ground. Just one glance contained all her emotions. This life has been missed and can no longer be made up for, but she cannot be depressed because of this, because there are still people waiting for her, and she has something more important than her own life to protect.

Just the moment she stood up, Artoria frowned suddenly, and almost fell to her knees again.

"King!" Bedivere's face changed, and he supported him reflexively.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired..." Arturia turned her head and chuckled lightly to show the other party's peace of mind, "Let's go, they are still waiting for us, this time, we must not miss it."

"Yes, king, I will protect you to the end!"

The loyal knight uttered a whisper, representing her unwavering determination.

... When Artoria and Bedivere returned to the forest path where they parted from Lin Luo, they found that Lin Luo seemed to have never left, standing there quietly waiting with the baby in his arms, while Lin Luo Watching their figures fall, he didn't say anything, just smiled.

"According to the agreement, I'm back." Artoria walked in front of him and said softly, but after she finished speaking, she fell down limply as if she had lost all her strength.

Lin Luo stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and looked around, only to see bright red blood dripping from the tiny wound on the girl's forehead, dripping down her cheeks to the ground.

"King?!" Bedivere suddenly exclaimed, although she had already noticed that something was wrong with Artoria when she came here just now, and thought it was just as she said, it was just exhaustion after the battle, but now it seems... That was the injury caused by the wheel-running sword of victory!

Among the ten holy swords presented by the Goddess of the Lake, the Sword of Victory in the Wheel is not the most powerful, but it is definitely the most "insidious". Once an enemy is injured by it, even if it is only a small cut , the descending nerve in it will also be destroyed after a while, and the blood from the wound is also difficult to stop. If it was only cut on the hands and feet, maybe there would be no danger of life. Although the hands and feet are definitely useless, but if it is cut on the head, then I am sorry, the necrosis of the brain is already unstoppable, and it is impossible for gods to save it.

And Arturia was stabbed in the forehead with a sword, and the result was obvious.

"My... king!" Bedivere had a full understanding of the wheel-running sword of victory. Seeing Artoria's injury, his face turned ashen, and his knees softened, and he knelt down directly, tears streaming down his face. Although her personality did not tarnish the chivalry she believed in, but the result... In the end, she still failed to protect her king!

"Don't worry, Bedivere." At this moment, a voice that was not loud but full of power rang in her ears. Looking instinctively, Lin Luo was looking at her with a smile. I have already expected it, so I made preparations from the beginning, although I can't change the established ending, but some things can still be done."

"Then my king..." After hearing this, Bedivere immediately stood up, with hope in his eyes.

"Well, I won't let her die." Lin Luo nodded and handed the baby in her arms to her.

Bedivere took the baby and stepped aside gently.

Lin Luo, on the other hand, hugged Arturia's waist, and looked at her eyes that had lost their aura and were a little bit slack... Because considering that Artoria would not do her best in the battle, or even if she tried her best, there would be nothing she could do. He retreated completely, so Lin Luo sent the scabbard energy scattered in his body to Artoria's mouth through solidification with the power of his mind and eyes, just at the time of the goodbye.

The power of the scabbard can protect Arturia from harm, but what he conveyed is only a drop in the bucket after all. Even if a slight injury can be resolved, the injury caused by the wheel-running victory sword can only temporarily hang his life. For her to fully recover, the only way is to return the scabbard to her... There is only one way to do this.

"This moment is the time for you and me to choose. One side is the end of death, and the other side is the road of no return full of thorns. Are you willing to walk with me on that road with no end in sight?" Lin Luo He stroked the hair on the girl's forehead and asked softly.

Artoria said her answer without hesitation, "No matter when and where, no matter the ends of the earth, even if it is the end of hell, I am willing."

Lin Luo smiled slightly, closed his eyes and bowed his head, kissing her cherry lips.

"The contract of the heart is activated, and the agreement mode is launched."

Under the influence of the contract, Arturia, who was already on the verge of death, radiated an incomparably dazzling golden light that made people dare not look directly at her. Her weak eyes also became radiant at this moment. A sword and a scabbard emerged on her left and right sides respectively, rippling like a treasure.

The moment her lips parted, Arturia stared at the scabbard that she hadn't seen for a long time, smiled sweetly, and said to Lin Luo, "So, the scabbard that can protect me is always by my side."

"It's not me or the scabbard that can protect you, but your own heart." Lin Luo took a few steps back, then opened his hands and looked at the person opposite, "Then, let's start choosing, Arturia, Do you choose the holy sword that is indestructible, or the scabbard that nothing can break?"

"I choose..." Artoria stretched her hand to the right without any hesitation, "I choose the scabbard!"

Although only the power of attack can win, it may not bring happiness. What I need now is not simple victory, but to protect important people and make the man I love so much happy. This... ...Only a scabbard can do that!

"In the name of Artoria, choose the scabbard!" The girl clasped the scabbard tightly and said loudly.

At this moment, a figure sprang out from the girl's body, with blond hair and armor, it was exactly the same as her, and this person stretched his hand to the left, "In the name of King Arthur, choose the holy sword!"

"How could it be?!" Lin Luo looked at this scene without saying a word, as if he knew it a long time ago, but Bedivere was shocked, and the king turned into two people. This kind of thing is simply a fantasy!

Ignoring the situation around them, Artoria and Arthur turned around and watched the person who was exactly the same as themselves, they just looked at each other and smiled, everything was said in silence.

This situation is not a split of personality, but a difference in choice. They are all the same person, complete but incomplete. One of them chooses to advance as a human, while the other chooses to advance as a king. Each path has its own trajectory. , and the heart of the world only exists in Artoria.

Then, when the two turned around again and turned their backs to each other... "The agreement is completed, the current contractor and the contractor have reached a partnership, the current contractor has obtained the certificate of restraint - the bond of the sword, and the current contractor has obtained the certificate of restraint ——Guardian of the sheath."

Owner Lin Luo: Walker (lv2) Physical Strength: b Mental Strength: a Overall Strength: Spiritual Level Intermediate Proof of Restraint: Angel Wings, Peerless Light, Benevolence, Sword Bond Level Up: Need to complete three more times agreement.

…Contractor: Altria Physical strength: a Mental strength: a Comprehensive strength: Spirit-level high-level restraint Evidence: Sheath to protect the heart of the world: Heart of courage (number one, glorious form, original heart) After the contract is completed , Arturia regained the protection of the scabbard, all her injuries healed instantly, and the complete release of the restraint seal further improved her strength, but... King Arthur, who ran counter to her, her forehead began to ooze. The blood fell softly.

She who chooses the holy sword is not affected by the power of the scabbard, and can only wait for death.

Lin Luo supported her body, let her sit by the tree, held her slender hand and watched her.

"Don't show that expression, all this is my choice, you can't do anything about it, can you?" Looking at the apologetic eyes of the person in front of him, Wang smiled softly, and slowly stretched out his hand to caress Lin Luo. face, "We, do we have a chance to meet again?"

"Of course there is. In the future, we will definitely see each other again."

"Then I'm relieved..." Wang showed a gratified smile, and looked to the other side, "Son, let me take a last look at the child, it is also my child, right?"

Arturia carried the child over, squatted down gently, tears filled her eyes, "Of course, this is your child and mine."
