The knight king of the otherworldly moon

"Yeah, with this kind of strength, are you a monster!" The strength from his arm made Merlin almost think his hand would break.The sword was blown away, and Merlin made his final resistance at the moment of crisis.

"I surrender!"

The sword stopped a centimeter by the side of his neck, Merlin swallowed and began to heartache for his cloak.

"Can we have a good talk now?" Lucifer smiled and looked at the 'red crutch' in front of him.

This coquettish magician does not seem to have petals opening the way wherever he goes, as he remembered.It just looks exactly the same as in the memories.What caught his attention the most was Merlin's eyes, which were said to be clairvoyants that could see everything now.

Clairvoyance, the invisible figure in your eyes, is that why you want to stop me.

"You've already said that we have a good talk, can you take your sword away?" Merlin carefully pushed the seemingly ordinary sword while speaking.

"Of course. Let's talk calmly." During the words, Lucifer quickly retracted his sword.

"What are you talking about?" Merlin looked at the ordinary sword with lingering fears, and finally looked at the trace of flame still lingering in the air.

"Like this sword."

Following Lucifer's words, their eyes all looked at the holy sword that was submerged in the stone.The legendary sword made by the elves, but it is only a legend, perhaps no one understands its origin better than this one.

"Well, since you want to know, it doesn't matter if I tell you." Merlin dealt with his blackened robe with a heartache, and had the urge to draw a circle to curse Lucifer.

"This sword was born at the end of the old empire. The last emperor of the empire forged it with an elves, and integrated the 'concept' into the weapon itself, and finally formed the appearance of the holy sword. The batch of weapons born with it is called the Arming for the concept, the emperor originally wanted to maintain the rule of the empire, but ironically, these arms became the original culprit of the empire's destruction. The sword of the oath, the original fire, the revolving sword of victory, etc. were all at that time Arms that have been handed down. Unfortunately, the craftsmanship of forging has been lost, and no one can create the same work again.”

The weapon handed down from the old empire is not only the holy sword in front of me, but also other weapons of the same period.With the destruction of the empire, these weapons were scattered to various countries, and it is said that those who possessed them were heroes without exception.And these heritages have also become one of the sources of chaos on this continent.

"Concept Armed, the holy sword forged in the old imperial era, its craftsmanship has been lost. It sounds very epic! By the way, since there is a holy sword, there should be a holy spear too."

Although there are some deviations from the legends in memory, it is natural to think that this is not the world in memory and there are some small deviations.

"how do you know?"

"Well, is there really?"

"I advise you not to have expectations for that thing. It's not a weapon that humans can master. Those who use the weapon of the gods will gradually become the shadow of the gods themselves." Merlin knew the origin of the holy spear, and that's why , he didn't want someone to liberate that kind of thing.

"Holy spear or something, I didn't have any expectations." As he spoke, Lucifer slowly walked towards the holy sword.Under the sun, the blade of the sword shone with brilliance, as if it was so sad that it contrasted sharply with the ending of a certain girl in the future.His hand slowly clenched the hilt of the sword.

"By the way, this sword seems to be driven... driven by the blood of the royal family?" Lucifer was about to say whether there was a secret to this sword only recognized the blood of the royal family, but he didn't use much force, and the sword came out of the stone platform. draw out.He himself was a little surprised.

"What's the situation, fake?" Lucifer moved the sword in his hand unexpectedly, and pointed the tip of the sword at Merlin.

"Wow, what the hell did you do? I knew that my bad premonition was right. I really can't let you get close to this sword. Hurry up and put it back." Merlin's eyes widened, as if he saw the end of the world. .His voice was as frantic as his expression.

"Wait, the one who draws this sword is the King of Britain. It seems that I also have the qualifications to become a king." Lucifer waved the sword in his hand with a rather wicked smile.

"Anything is fine, please put it back before anyone else sees it. If anyone comes over, it's all over."

"It's okay to put it back, but magician, remember, you owe me a favor."

"Good! No problem, a favor. I owe you."

Seeing Merlin agree, Lucifer put the sword back where it was.At this moment, an interesting idea suddenly appeared in Lucifer's mind, and he couldn't wait to test the possibility in his imagination.

"Goodbye, funny magician."

Leaving these words behind, Lucifer left here alone.

no.5 destined future (seeking tickets, asking for flowers)

At dusk, the cool breeze blows through the courtyard, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers.The blond girl was sitting alone in the pavilion, her expression no longer had the firmness and vitality she had before, but instead had a feeling of anguish.However, even this did not detract from her beauty in the slightest.

As soon as Lucifer came back, he saw the scene in front of him. He looked at the garden on the side, and slowly approached the flowers with his hands, but at the last moment he chose to give up.The white rose is too pure and not suitable for the girl's mood at this time.

"The melancholy expression is not suitable for you, lovely knight princess. It is more suitable for the noble lady in the boudoir." Lucifer walked straight to the girl's side and said with a smile.

"Please don't joke with such a frivolous tone." Miss Knight's expression was very serious.She didn't seem to like this kind of joke.

"Okay! It seems that I don't have the talent for joking, you didn't even laugh. What happened?" Saying the words of apology, Lucifer sat opposite the girl.

Although they didn't spend much time together, to the girl in front of her, she seemed to be one of the few people who could communicate normally.

"In your heart, Lucifer, what should a king look like?"

"King? The answer to this question is a bit broad. The king's way is the way of humanity, but it is above the way of humanity. The way of kings pursued by different kings is also different. There are virtuous kings who make people look forward to them, and there are kings who pursue correct principles. The overlord who pursues his own desires, the king of heroes who is above all living beings and bears the world with his own power, the king of salary who burns himself for the continuation of the times, and many other kings."

"Is there so much?"

Lucifer's words touched the knight Ji in front of her quite a bit. Before that, she seemed to have only a king image in her heart.That is, he gave up his feelings as a human being and became an ideal holy king.

"Of course, as I said, the way of kingship is the way of humanity. To master the way of humanity as a human being without transcending itself, this is the king. I would like to ask, do you finally want to become a king of knights?"

Beyond human beings, they exist in the world in another form.It was not a king, but a god, or a demon.Maybe there are also gods and demons among gods and demons, but gods and demons cannot become kings of men.

At least now they are still human, living here as human beings.Even a certain arrogant Jin Shining never pretended to be a god, but existed as a king.

"Well, my aunt told me a lot. Maybe I won't be able to practice swords with you in the future." Arturia's expression darkened.

"In that case, come with me! I'll take you to a place." Getting up, Lucifer walked outside the pavilion.

"Where to go?"

"A place related to swords."

They disappeared into the garden, on the white castle, beside a glass window, and two tall figures were watching the direction they left.

"Master, is it really okay to let the young lady be with that man like this?" The black long and straight Victoria's expression was a little worried.

Beside the maid is the Duchess of Britain, who is also recognized as the strongest knight in Britain, Lungomiard.A person who was once feared as a goddess.With white armor, golden hair, and green eyes, the beauty of the Duchess will give people a sense of majesty.

"What she is about to carry is too heavy for her. In order to carry this heavy burden, she has to give up many of her human feelings. At least, let her do what she likes now."

In the heart of the Duchess, her niece is actually not a good candidate for the king.In order to become a real king, the girl can only give up other things to keep her focus on the king's way. She doesn't want such a small girl to carry a heavy burden.

However, sometimes fate is so malicious that only a young girl in the entire country can draw the sword of the king.Lungominiad had thought that if she could do it, she would take it upon herself, but the holy sword refused her.

"As for that man, is the investigation clear?" The Duchess continued.

"Not yet. Judging from what he occasionally said, he is not from this continent."

"That's none of our business."

As long as people are not from this continent, it means that there is no conflict of interest, and naturally it has nothing to do.

At the end of the evening, the night gradually fell.For the second time, Lucifer came to the location of the sword of the king, and the golden sword in front of him was still quietly waiting for his master to return.

"Magician, you dark voyeur should still be there." Lucifer said loudly to the surrounding air.

Under Arturia's strange gaze, a figure in a white robe appeared in front of them like a mirage.

"Who's a voyeur! I'm just curious about everything, and I'm not the bad kleptocrat you call it! Didn't you leave, why did you come back again? She is!" The moment Merlin saw the girl, there was something wrong with him. Good foreboding.

"Let her see the future after she draws the sword, I think you should be able to do it."

"It can be done, even if you don't say it, I will do it, but... Now, is it really suitable?"

"Whether it's a knight or a king, everything should be her own choice. Instead of being forced to draw a sword."

"Okay!" Merlin agreed. He turned to look at the knight girl and asked her opinion for the last time.

"Do you really want to see that future that belongs to you?"

Originally, this was supposed to be the future that the girl would see when she drew her sword tomorrow. It was part of the ceremony of becoming a king, and it was also giving the girl one last chance to go back.

"I... yes, no matter what awaits me in the future, I want to see clearly." The girl of Arturia had a bad premonition, but she still insisted on her heart. *

no.6 Be my knight (please ask for tickets, ask for flowers)

The moment her hand touched the sword, a haze spread, and the girl instantly seemed to be in another era.Everything around them flowed rapidly, from coronation to war, from rest to betrayal, and the final picture was fixed on this blood-stained sword mound.Only now did Arturia realize that the spear in her hand had pierced the body of a certain knight.

When the fantasy picture came back to reality, Arturia's face turned pale.

"Do you want to decide? As this man said, you have the right to give up." At this moment, Merlin, the magician, said softly.

"No need, although the ending... but there are many people smiling there, that's enough." Arturia was startled at first, then returned to her original expression, a faint smile appeared on her face.

The king saved the country, but the country failed to save the king.This is the sorrow of the king who dedicated himself to the country.But even so, the girl seems to still insist on trying to save the country.

"It's terrifying to think about it so succinctly." Lucifer sighed.For some reason, looking at the girl in front of him, he seemed to see himself in his previous life.

The self who burns as the King of Salin in a world where the flames will go out.

How long can you burn?I remember someone asking me this question at the time.How did I respond at the time?

"In your eyes, I'm not fit to be a king?"

"If it were you, it would undoubtedly be a noble holy king. But..." Lucifer paused for a moment and continued with a different tone.

"The king is the cog of the country, as someone squinting once said. With the king as the foundation, the entire country will be transformed into a huge and sophisticated machine. However, other than the king, who supports this machine, There are other small gears. The more precise the machine, the more likely it is to break, and if some of the small gears fail, the whole machine will go to ruin."

"The king is the cog of the country. If the king's responsibility is to promote the operation of the country, I am willing to be that cog."

The girl's expression was very firm.But that's what makes it lovable.

"It seems that you still understand that before you become a king, you are a person first. People cannot completely cool their hearts and turn them into cold and ruthless machines. This is the sad part of human beings, but it is also a blessing."

"If the royal road I choose is destined to only operate in a mechanical way, I am willing to accept this cold fate."

The knight girl insisted on saying her choice, but Lucifer said the coldest words at this moment.

"Give it up, Leah."

"what!?"

For a moment, Arturia's brain was full of anger.It is a feeling that comes from being denied.Will being denied is more irritating than ridicule.She subconsciously thought that the man in front of her didn't understand anything, and was just talking self-righteous words there.She stared at him stubbornly, as if trying to press him for that reason.

"Just through the eyes of the magician, you have seen your destined future. That future is too sad, and that is not the ending you should have." Lucifer calmly stated his reasons.

However, this reason was not accepted.No, it should be said that it was impossible to accept from the beginning.

"If I give up, who will take on the responsibility of being the king, who will bear the hopes of all the people, and who will save this country that is on the verge of being broken!" Arturia almost shouted at Lucifer Earl growled.

In a country on the verge of shattering, hope is pinned on a knight girl.I don't know if it's sarcasm or sadness.

"I will bear it, I will bear it, and I will make this country reborn." During the words, Lucifer came to the holy sword.He put his hand on the holy sword and drew it without hesitation.

At this moment, the shock drowned out the anger.The knight girl's brain was a little disrupted.

"..."

According to legend, the holy sword that no one can draw is now in Lucifer's hands.

"Let's put it down, that burden is too heavy for you, you can't quell the impulse to be a king in your heart, and in the end you will only be completely separated from it and tied to the cross called the Holy King. However, even so, you still let this country Continue. In the end, your sacrifices are meaningless. In the destruction of this country, you are only a salary, and burning yourself is only delaying its demise."

The Lothric may be right, that fire is destined to be a cursed path.If the old era does not end, the new era will not come.This time, it seems to be for the same reason again.But I have a different choice.

"I……"

Lucifer's words broke the girl's last line of defense.Yes, she might be proud of herself if she saved the country.But instead of saving the country entirely, she let it perish again at her own hands.

Maybe he is not a qualified king, this kind of thought spreads in the girl's heart.

"The name of the sword is a firm victory. Your heart has been shaken, do you still have the courage to pick up the sword of victory in front of your trembling hands, Arturia?"

Lucifer held the sword in front of the girl, but the girl seemed to have lost the courage to accept it.

"I... don't know. What the hell is this!"

For the first time in her life, the girl who was educated to live as a king began to waver.If the future she saw was a completely saved Britain, she might not be, but no, it was a miserable future.If the man in front of her hadn't drawn the holy sword, she could still have a trace of persistence.but……

"Put down your sword and be mine."*

no.7 What did he not do to me?

The night was getting dark, and under the moonlight, the two figures slowly walked back to the Duke's castle.Along the way, Arturia's mood was a little complicated.

"What if I didn't agree with me at the time?" On the avenue at the end of the castle yesterday, Arturia looked at Lucifer and asked.

In the end, the girl agreed with Lucifer's decision.She gave up being a king, and instead used the identity of a knight for Lucifer.In exchange, Lucifer will lead the country to peace and prosperity.This is the oath they made with each other.

"The holy sword is the proof of the king. The sword is already in my hands. If you want to become a king, you can only choose to defeat me. As for the result of the battle, there is no need to say, right?" Lucifer smiled. The girl responded.

The one who draws the holy sword is eligible to be king, but if suddenly there are two chosen ones.The best way is to decide who is more suitable to be the king through a duel.Lucifer made the girl give up the idea of ​​becoming a king in a semi-compulsive way.
