The King of Knights in a Different World

"Have I been taken offence? Speaking of it, it should be considered that I actively disturbed your peace." Lucifer walked slowly to a tree, he put his hand on the trunk and said calmly.

His words seemed to be speaking to Robin Hood, and he seemed to be speaking to this forest, and even to the elves in the distant forest.

"It's great that Wang is so sensible. I thought I was going to be forced to join the army again."

"I see something called will in your eyes. Human actions are meaningless without the support of will. Since you choose to fight in your own way, I don't want to force you to do anything."

Lucifer's words seemed to have a penetrating gaze, causing Robin Hood to fall into a long silence.

"..."

Yes, he is fighting in his own way, although it is different from the knight fighting style he learned before, but he has never forgotten the knight's heart he once learned. It's just that now he is no longer recognized as a knight.

Lucifer saw this, yes, at that moment just now, that look was like that of the former Falan Undead Team. The group of knights who swore by wolf blood and swung their swords to prevent the abyss from spreading were eventually swallowed by the abyss because they were too close to the abyss.

When Lucifer lit three beacons and opened the gate, the members of the undead team had only a dozen captains left because of mutual executions, and the hall was filled with corpses. They raised their swords to pay respect to Lucifer, the new member of the undead team, and at the same time asked him to kill them as the final test.

According to the tradition at the time, I seemed to be the last member of the undead team.

Thinking of this, Lucifer withdrew his hand, and he turned and walked towards the direction of his camp. Before leaving, he left a message for Robin Hood.

"This land has been stained with too many flames of war. The knights behind me are fighting for the motherland they love, at the expense of their lives. If I lose the battle, this place will soon be ignited by the flames of war. At that time, please use yourself Continue to guard this forest in the same way, knight."

The knights took a last look at the former knight, and they withdrew their swords and followed the king's steps and left together.

It was not until they disappeared for a long time that Robin Hood came back to his senses. He leaned against the big tree and looked up at the fallen leaves in the quiet air.

"Knight..., am I still qualified to be called a knight?"*

no.21 scabbard

On a moonless night, after the rapid march during the day, the soldiers were a little tired, so they built a camp and began to rest. The tents were clearly arranged according to Lucifer's order, and the largest one in the center of all the tents was Lucifer's king's rest room.

Inside the tent, Lucifer finally arranged things properly after giving instructions for a long time. At this moment, he was about to ask Arturia who was guarding outside to go down to rest first, but suddenly, he felt something coming from the air in the tent.

His eyes were filled with flames, and Lucifer saw an intruder, or an acquaintance in front of him.

"Oh! A third-rate magician who likes to peep, if you continue to show off your illusions in front of us, I think something regrettable will happen later. However, this time it is not as simple as burning the robe " Lucifer said while sitting back in front of his throne, supporting his cheek with one hand.

"It's the second time. Can you tell me that, how did you break my illusion?" Merlin's expression was a little embarrassed.

This was the second time that Lucifer saw through the illusion, and he was a little embarrassed.

"Is it important?"

"Of course it is not important to you, but it is a matter of life and death to me. The magic I am best at is illusion, and now it is cracked, and I don't know why. In case I meet someone like you next time Man, I might get killed for it."

"Next? Killed? Oh, I understand. It seems that you were a scumbag before, to the point where enemies all over the world want to kill you." Lucifer intentionally misinterpreted Merlin's meaning.

But if you think about it carefully, you might have a lot of enemies with this bastard's personality. He is best at illusion. Once he loses this trump card, he might end up dead on the street next time.

"..."

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not a demon. I'm not that unreasonable because you helped me before. My eyes can see the flames burning in the living beings. In other people's eyes You are a human being, but in my eyes, you are burning with fire, well, your flame is colored with conspiracy."

"Flame. The fire of guilt?"

"I take back my preface. It seems that you are not as useless as you imagined. At least your brain is not bad. How about it, scum magician, join me, and I can give you the position of court magician or even a sage." Lu Syfel extended an invitation as he had done to Robin Hood before.

These words sound a little random. However, this can't be helped. As the new king, I don't have any background behind me, and I don't have my own team. In the future, if you want to manage this country well, you must find some useful talents.

"It sounds pretty good. But if you think about it carefully, I'd rather forget it. I was originally entrusted to train a good enough king for this country. Your appearance made everything in the world unpredictable. I didn't stay The next reason." Merlin's refusal did not hesitate at all. If the girl knight king standing here now, he would definitely agree to stay and train her.

But Lucifer in front of him no longer needs to be taught as a mentor, so he naturally has no reason to stay. Both of them understood this point, and Lucifer didn't expect too much from the invitation just now.

"So, you came here today to say goodbye to me? There's no need for that, our relationship is not so good as to cherish each other." Speaking of this, Lucifer waved his hands jokingly, as if he was trying to drive away some pests.

"Your attitude is still as bad as ever. Even if you treat it differently, it's too bad. If it was the cute knight girl outside, you definitely have a different expression now." During the words, the corners of Merlin's eyes twitched.

After all, he is also a great magician, why doesn't he have any status now.

"You also said that you are a cute knight girl. Isn't that natural? If you now say that you are a magical girl Meili instead of a magical scumbag Merlin, I will change my attitude. So if you want to blame it, you will be born as a man." you."

Lucifer gave his reasons. And this reason made Merlin's face darken.

"I suddenly wondered if it was a wrong decision to hand over this country to you."

"Whether it is or not, you don't have the ability to stop me now. The only thing you can do is: wait and hope."

"Wait, and hope..., I love that line."

"A man said that all the wisdom of life is written in this sentence."

Although he didn't know if there was an earl in this world, Lucifer still used this sentence directly.

"Okay! Although you have treated me badly, for the sake of this sentence, I will give you back the gift I was about to take away just now. Take it and you will become the real king, the undefeated king At this point, Merlin finally got to the point.

He didn't come here this night to chat with Lucifer, but to prove that he is the last king.

He took a gorgeous scabbard from his cloak, and put it on Lucifer's table. The main body of the scabbard is blue, which is at the same level as the holy sword in terms of craftsmanship. You can feel the powerful magic power emanating from the scabbard just by touching it.

"Very beautiful, this scabbard." Lucifer slid his fingers over the scabbard, his gaze seemed to be looking at a work of art.

"The person who owns this scabbard will have the ability to go back in time. From then on, you will not age, get hurt, die, suffer from illness, or be troubled by time. It is better than the holy sword. A more precious treasure."

"A miracle of time? Thank you, magician." This time, Lucifer put away his joking attitude before, and formally thanked Merlin.

"I have done what I should do, and it is up to you, young king. I will witness everything in this country, including everything in you, from the tower on the other side."

After leaving these words, Merlin's figure disappeared before Lucifer's eyes in a burst of petals.

The Flower Magician has fulfilled his final duties, and there is no reason to stay anymore. He will return to his tower to witness everything in this world from the perspective of a bystander.

Thousands of years ago, the only empire on the mainland was divided, and after years of fighting, there were finally nine remaining. For hundreds of years, nine countries have been mutually restraining each other from fully annexing each other, and now, an unexpected factor has joined the list.

On the barren cliff, Merlin stood here looking at the British camp from a distance. He sighed in the wind.

"What kind of changes will you bring to this world? That Jin Yingying will be very distressed in the future."*

no.22 Heavy Rain (ask for tickets, ask for flowers)

On the third day of the march, it was raining heavily, just like what Lucifer had said to Gawain before. The heavy rain slowed down the marching speed significantly, but due to the previous rapid march, the overall speed did not slow down. Taking advantage of this weather, the army had more rest time instead.

It rained heavily for one day, and it didn't stop completely until the fourth day, Lucifer led the army to move on. The road was turbulent, and when they walked along the avenue to a river, there was a figure in the middle of the road.

He was the Robin Hood I had just met before. The water beach on the side of the road hadn't dried yet, and Robin Hood didn't hide his figure, but stood there directly.

"Stop there!"

Lucifer raised his hand to make a gesture, and the army behind stopped one after another. He led Gawain and Artoria out of the crowd, and rode up to Robin Hood.

"It's you again! This time it's much more upright than last time, so you don't need to be invisible?" At this moment, Lucifer looked around and found that he was indeed the only one.

"I don't want to be misunderstood by your knight again. Don't talk about me. The reason I came here now is to tell you not to move on. It's better for you to forgive me."

Robin Hood's words could not help but remind Lucifer of what might have happened in the journey ahead.

"What happened in front?" He asked.

"The heavy rain yesterday caused the water level of the river to rise suddenly, and the only bridge that can go across the river has been washed away. Although the water flow is much calmer now, the water surface is much wider than expected. Without the bridge, it will be difficult for you to move on. No river."

The news brought by Robin Hood surprised all three of them. The bridge in front of them was the only way they had to pass. If the bridge had been destroyed, it would undoubtedly delay their march.

"The bridge collapsed, so you can't cross the river? Leah, map! Gawain, take a few knights to the front to check the situation of the river."

Said so on the surface, but Lucifer didn't completely believe Robin Hood's words. While asking Leah to bring the map, he sent Gao Wen to confirm the situation.

"Look!" Leah took out a cylinder from her horse, and there was a map rolled up there.

Gao Wen returned to the queue and set off quickly with a few knights. He needed to confirm the authenticity of the news as soon as possible. If true, determine the condition of the river.

After Gawain left, Lucifer kept looking at the map, observing the nearby bridges and even the terrain. in order to find alternatives. If the bridge in front is not destroyed, or can be repaired, these plans are naturally unnecessary.

But if the worst happens, an alternative means of crossing the river must be found immediately.

"Currently, the nearest bridge to here needs more than half a day's journey, plus the time to recover the original road later, it will take another day." Lucifer murmured.

"Do you want to make a detour?" Liya immediately said a possible plan.

"No, we need to wait for Gawain to come back to confirm the situation. If the damage is serious, we can't be sure whether the bridge is intact. If it is the same as the previous one"

Soon, Gawain came back with the knight. He got off the horse and came in front of Lucifer, truthfully explaining the situation ahead.

"Wang, the water in front of the river has risen a lot, and the bridge... the bridge has also been washed away."

"Notify the troops to rest in place. Let's go there together, and I want to check the situation at the scene myself."

Hearing this, Lucifer immediately ordered Gawain to stay, while he brought dozens of knights and accelerated forward together.

Soon they came to a river, and at the end of the road they could see a destroyed bridge. The piers are still only partially submerged in water, but the central part is long gone.

Under such circumstances, it is basically impossible for the army to cross the river. Although the river has calmed down a lot, it will still wash away people. Lucifer picked up a stone and threw it into the water, and found that the depth of the water was far beyond the height of an ordinary person. In addition to the tens of meters of river surface, it was impossible to cross the river without a bridge.

The knight followed Lucifer's footsteps to the river, saw his own shadow reflected on the water surface and fell into silence. There was no problem for the previous three days, and even their king even considered and took advantage of the heavy rain, but no one thought that what should have been just a small river blocked their way forward.

Lucifer kept calculating the time and feasibility in his mind, and finally his gaze was fixed on the climate and a forest not far away.

"Robin Hood, are there elves in this small forest?" Lucifer asked the ranger beside him.

Compared with the previous forest, this forest can only be regarded as a small forest, but it does not mean that there are few trees in it. Lucifer calculated the distance on the river, and found that using them to build a bridge is enough.

"This is a deserted forest. The magic power in the leylines has long been exhausted. The elves will not live in this kind of place." Robin Hood looked at the distant forest and said the answer.

The place where elves live is usually accompanied by leylines, and there is no magic power in the leylines here, and naturally there cannot be elves.

"That's good."

"What do you want to do?"

"Building a bridge requires materials, doesn't it? Originally, I was still thinking that if there are elves here, I should discuss with them about borrowing or buying some trees. After all, it is not very moral to disturb people's peace."

"Ah? You still care about these?" Robin Hood had a new understanding of Lucifer.

In his opinion, as a king, he just took this forest away if he liked it. This is what nobles and even kings did before. Although this country is famous for its knights, there are very few people who really preach the principles of knights.

"Of course, historically, elves have existed in this land much longer than humans. Besides, since they live in this land, they are my people and part of this country." Lucy Phil spoke his mind.

"You..., if you really have such an idea, I support it. I have heard the elves complain about the impact of humans on their lives more than once. It just so happens that this land currently has no owner, so you can cut it down as you like. "

"There is no master. The former master died in battle?"

"It's true that the former owner died. But he didn't die in battle, he died in a duel. He also has no descendants. According to the current British law, this land will be taken back to the royal family."

After Robin Hood finished speaking, Lucifer suddenly felt that his luck was not bad. Of course, even if there is a lord in this piece of land, Lucifer will still cut it off, but he will follow a procedure and give that person some compensation. But since there is no, it also saves some trouble.

"Oh! That means it's mine now."

Lucifer's current status is king, so naturally, this land is also his territory. While the official paperwork may not be on the record, at least in name.

At this moment, Robin Hood realized that it seemed to be the same as what Lucifer said.

"That's true. I just want to remind you that even if the bridge is built immediately, it will still take a lot of time. Instead of wasting time and energy building the bridge, it is better to take a detour."

"Normally, you're right. But if it's just a one-off bridge, I have a special method."

"Special method?"

Lucifer did not say what the special method was, but walked towards a certain purple knight among the many knights.

"Mr. Lancelot, I heard from Tristan that you are good at logging?" Lucifer asked a delicate question.

"Logging? If this is what the king expects." Lancelot was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the meaning of cutting down trees. Although he didn't know what the king wanted to do, he obeyed the order.

"It doesn't need to be too neat, just cut down those trees in the fastest way. Then throw them into the river in rows to fill them up. Can it be done?"

"Yes! But if I want it as soon as possible, I need more people."

"No problem. Leah, go tell Tristan and ask him to bring another 300 people over. Focus on selecting those who can grow with strength."

"Obey!"

Leah went fast and came back fast. Not long after, three hundred knights appeared in front of Lucifer's eyes. He temporarily handed them over to Commander Lancelot, and then they started a massive tree-cutting campaign there.

Although they had many doubts in their hearts, since it was the king's order, they could only carry it out. About an hour later, they took the cut trunks and quickly cast them in the upper reaches of the river not far away, and the trunks floated down the river.

Just when they were still wondering why Lucifer didn't use these things to build a bridge, but threw away these tree trunks, Lucifer had already come to the river. He pulled out the holy sword from his waist.
