Looking forward to another world.

Chapter 1128 Negotiation (×) Fighting (√)

Edinburgh is a city built on a rocky mountain range.

As the territory of the royal clan, Edinburgh is not very famous in the whole of Britain.

Because this city was only founded in the 400th year of the Queen's calendar, although it has a history of more than 1600 years, compared with those cities that have a history of thousands of years, the history of Edinburgh is not long at all, and it is not even as long as the abandoned city of Londinium.

This is because, before 400 years of the Queen's calendar, although the King's Clan settled in the north of Britain, the clan's lifestyle was more like that of a nomadic people. They generally would not stay on a certain piece of land, nor would they build cities, and had a habit of constant migration.

It was not until 400 AD that Queen Mab founded Edinburgh, and the royal family had a fixed residence.

In Edinburgh, there are not only fairies from the north, but also many fairies from the south who have fled and drifted to the north.

Queen Noknaree agrees with Queen Mab on this point. They will accept the exiled and fleeing fairies, the fairies who are abandoned because they cannot pay the existence tax, and even humans in distress. It is said that they will give humans jobs and allow them to stay in Edinburgh.

This strategy is undoubtedly somewhat different from the rumors.

"Didn't you say Noknalei hates humans?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka asked this question in confusion.

This is what Habertlot replied to this.

"To her, dislike and value are two completely different things. Even if she doesn't like humans from a personal standpoint, humans are still important to the elves as they can motivate them. So she will hire humans with normal treatment, you know?"

When they heard this, the people from Chaldea immediately had a good impression of Noknara.

"What? Isn't this a good person?"

Leonardo da Vinci even made such an evaluation, which made Mashu nod frequently.

"What good guy? How can that arrogant guy be a good guy?" Artoria seemed to be provoked. She jumped up and shouted, "This must be a show! That's right! It's a dirty trick to win over others!"

At this time, Altria did not act like a negative and self-abased country girl, but more like a jealous girl whose competitive spirit was aroused by her childhood friend.

She even tried to seek Lige's consent.

"That's what Liger thinks, right? After all, you've always said fairies are hopeless, right? There are no good fairies, right?"

Facing Altria's hopeful eyes that seemed to be looking for a like-minded person, Lige's answer was extremely cruel.

"I'm just saying that the fairies in Britain are hopeless. The King's Clan, who are northern fairies, are an exception, right?"

The King's Clan is different from the original six fairy clans. It does not come from the original six fairy clans, but from the grace of Albion.

It and the fairies of Britain are two different systems. Although it is now one of the clans, it is completely incomparable with those fairies with original sin.

If there is any fairy clan in Britain that Lige would like, it is undoubtedly the King's Clan.

This clan has been taking in abandoned fairies since the time of Queen Mab, and has always treated humans kindly, never treating them as slaves. Even Noknare, who claims to hate humans, will not deliberately target them, and will even give them shelter and proper treatment.

From this point of view, Queen Noknarei is undoubtedly a good person, just as Leonardo da Vinci said.

Moreover, he is a goody-goody who is comparable to Altria.

"I can only say, no wonder you two knew each other so early and became friends in such a short time."

Liger patted Altria's shoulder and said this.

"Friends?"

Ritsuka Fujimaru, Mashu, Da Vinci and Habertlot were stunned.

"Who is her friend?"

Altria muttered something under her breath but made no rebuttal to this statement.

"Okay, we're almost there, let's get ready to land."

Lige suddenly spoke, causing everyone to shift their attention and look in the direction of Edinburgh.

At this time, Edinburgh is already within sight.

As the name suggests, it is more like a large castle than a city.

The medieval-style castle city is located on top of towering mountains, surrounded by a moat and a high bridge leading to the city gate and neighborhoods. Combined with the unique low temperatures in the north, it gives people a feeling of a Nordic ice and snow royal city.

If you look down from mid-air, you can still vaguely see the bustling streets and prosperous scenes in the city. The fairies from various clans taken in by the King's Clan can be seen among them, whether they are the handsome fairies from the Wind Clan or the rough fairies from the Earth Clan, you can see them moving around in it.

"Is that Edinburgh?"

Those who came to Edinburgh for the first time couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"It feels freer than Salisbury, more prosperous than Norwich, and more lively than Londinium!"

Mashu was inspired.

"Although the fashion capital of Gloucester is also very prosperous, compared to Gloucester, which has a strong commercial atmosphere, Edinburgh's prosperity seems to be more inclined towards the atmosphere of life, and it is not decadent at all, and it seems full of vitality!"

Leonardo da Vinci's mood became somewhat high.

"I think I saw a giant! That was a giant, right?!"

Even Altria, who was originally reluctant to come to Edinburgh, was attracted unconsciously. She looked reluctant and amazed, which was quite awkward.

"There really are giants..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little dumbfounded.

In Edinburgh, some giants whose heights far exceeded those of ordinary goblins and humans were walking back and forth, seemingly on patrol. Some giants were standing guard, holding huge, thick spears in their hands. The oppressive feeling they exuded was no less than that of goblins with extraordinary powers, and some even surpassed it.

"It has become so prosperous... Hasn't the King's Clan changed so much in the past two thousand years?"

Finally, even Habertlot was stunned.

Her impression of the King's Clan still remained in the Fairy Calendar period. She only wrote down what the King's Clan experienced after the Queen's Calendar as a point of knowledge, and had never seen with her own eyes what the King's Clan looked like today.

Therefore, even though she knew that the current King's Clan had been transformed and had a fixed residence, and even the Queen Mab had been replaced, and the current queen of the King's Clan had become a little girl over a hundred years old, she did not expect that the King's Clan had changed so much.

Only, there was a transparent luster in his eyes, and he was paying attention to the dark appearance of Edinburgh.

In his observation, this prosperous northern city was just like the Jade Throne in the Camelot Palace, absorbing the magic power from the outside world all the time.

The difference is that the Amyrlin Throne absorbs the magic power of all the fairies in Britain that have been engraved with the Command Seals, while Edinburgh absorbs the magic elements from the earth.

"The Earth... Albion?"

Li Ge guessed in his heart, and used the transparent world more deeply, and saw more things.

In his vision, not only was Edinburgh itself shrouded in rich magic, but the fairies in Edinburgh also emitted unusual magical fluctuations.

That magical fluctuation obviously did not belong to these goblins.

This is because the fluctuations of this magical power are too consistent, and one can tell at a glance that they come from the power of the same individual.

"That is the nature of the King's Clan, right?"

Li Ge narrowed his eyes, thinking back to the final fate of the King's Clan in the original novel, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Mashu spoke with a hint of urgency.

"A sharp rise in magic power has been detected! We've been discovered!"

After hearing Mashu's voice, everyone realized that the carriage pulled by eight-legged horses had entered Edinburgh and arrived above Edinburgh at some point.

The flying carriage flew into the city of the King's Clan in a dignified manner, immediately attracting the attention of the fairies and giants on guard.

They seemed to be startled as well, and then seemed to regard the carriage as an invader into Edinburgh, and they approached one by one.

Then, everyone saw that the giants raised their spears and threw them into the air without saying a word.

“Swish, swish, swish, swish—”

Suddenly, accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking through the air, long spears as thick as stone pillars cut through the void, forming a gun curtain, and shot towards the carriage in the air in a mighty manner.

"Attention! It's shooting!"

Mashu shouted as she raised her shield, her whole body glowing with a faint light.

"Buzz!"

In front of the running eight-legged horse, a magic barrier flashed out and blocked the rain of bullets in time.

“Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang—!”

The javelins, as thick as stone pillars, landed on the magic barrier one by one, causing explosions like artillery bombardments.

"Oh my, I'm considered an enemy."

Habertlot said this in a voice without any tension.

"Land quickly! Don't escalate the conflict!"

Da Vinci quickly put on his backpack and looked like a paratrooper about to jump.

"What? Aren't we going to attack the royal city directly?"

Altria seemed eager to try, holding the Rod of Selection in her hand, her eyes glowing.

"No, no, no! We're not here to fight, are we?"

Ritsuka Fujimaru was surprised by Altria's eager look and almost thought that he and his companions were not here to negotiate but to attack Edinburgh.

"Snapped!"

Liger didn't waste any words. While radiating the cursed energy, he snapped his fingers and activated the "Unjust Game" technique.

"Shh!"

The eight-legged carriage suddenly disappeared in mid-air, causing the subsequent rain of bullets to fall directly into the air, fly out of Edinburgh and shoot out of the city.

"Shh!"

The next second, the carriage appeared out of nowhere in a main street of Edinburgh and continued to move forward without slowing down.

"Stop them!"

"Keep them away from the Cathedral!"

"Where's the messenger? Go and inform Lady Noknalei!"

Not long after, a group of goblins gathered from all directions and blocked the eight-legged carriage.

"Stop!"

"Stop it!"

Many goblins took action, either throwing spears or shooting arrows, some even went so far as to chop directly with swords. It looked chaotic, but in fact, no one interfered with anyone else's actions, and they cooperated with each other tacitly, obviously having been trained.

"【Wall of Arrows】."

"【Reject the Cocoon of Life】."

Suddenly, a calm voice sounded in the carriage, and a green barrier and a stream of air appeared out of thin air around the carriage.

Under the influence of that airflow, flying props such as arrows and javelins were disturbed and lost their accuracy. The goblins that were flying and wielding swords were also kept out by the barrier and could not get close to the carriage at all.

"Oops!"

"We can't stop each other!"

"That, that's Queen Morgan's magic...!"

"Is it really the Queen's Army that has arrived?"

The goblins shouted anxiously, but soon they were all stunned.

"Da da--"

The eight-legged horse carriage, wrapped in the green barrier and chaotic airflow, suddenly stopped slowly until the sound of horse hooves completely disappeared.

It did not move forward, nor did it take any other action. It just stayed there quietly as if it had arrived at its destination, allowing the fairies in Edinburgh to surround it.

The eight-legged horse seemed to be unsatisfied and wanted to fly into the air again. It kicked its hooves a few times and snorted a few times, but it did not continue running or fly into the air. It continued to stay where it was.

Soon, the carriage behind the white eight-legged horse was opened, and the people inside got out one by one.

"who are you?"

Among the goblins of Edinburgh, a man of high status questioned loudly, causing the goblins who had reacted to become alert, raising their weapons and aiming at the group of people.

The group of people looked at each other, and then turned their gazes to focus on one person.

Stare...(each_each)
"........."

Feeling the focused gazes of her companions, Altria's body stiffened.

"Go."

Lige was standing behind Altria, looking at the fairy girl with his arms folded and smiling playfully.

"Go say hello to your friends."

There is no doubt that among the group, Altria, the child of prophecy, is the obvious leader.

Whether for public or private reasons, she should come forward at this time.

"…I really want to escape."

For a moment, Altria wanted to quit.

But when she thought that "that guy" might be looking at her, Altria took a deep breath and stood up.

"I'm Altria Custer! I'm here to negotiate on behalf of the Round Table of Londinium!"

Altria's voice echoed throughout Edinburgh.

"Come out now! Noknalei!"

Listening to this unfriendly shout, everyone had only one thought in their mind.
