Lancelot.

Mordred.

And, Tristan just now.

The king served by the Knights of the Round Table...

Could it be that the so-called Lion King actually refers to King Arthur?

"Fuwu..."

Licking Matthew's cheek, Fufu whimpered softly.

"I'm ok."

Mash twitched the corners of her mouth at Fufu, but it was obviously a forced smile.

"So, what exactly is Shengba like, do you understand?"

Zheng Qi asked suddenly.

The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly: "Sorry, none of us have actually been to the holy capital, and we would not have left the village where we lived for a long time if we hadn't been hunted down by that Tristan, so..."

"San Ba?"

Li Xiang looked at Zheng Qi curiously.

"That Tristan said that if you want to enter the holy capital, you need to go through a ceremony called Shengba, and only those who are selected can be qualified to enter the city."

"But it doesn't matter."

Zheng Qi said: "The point is, they seem to kill the losers."

"So, are you still planning to go to the holy capital?"

Zheng Qi's words caused everyone in Chaldea to fall into a brief silence.

Chapter 328 Chapter 28: Forty-one points, remember to insert eyes

Li Xiang was the first to speak to break the silence.

However, she posed a question to the middle-aged man.

"What are you going to do next?"

"This... can only go to the east."

The middle-aged man said helplessly: "The lord's order before he died was to let us go to the east, where there is the village of Lord Curse Wrist, maybe they will be willing to accept us as compatriots..."

"is it far?"

"I don't know, none of us have ever been to the village over there."

In other words, these people, if they want to cross this dangerous and desolate land, go to the east, and look for a place with no specific location, wouldn't they be accepted?

Lixiang turned to look at the crowd over there.

The elderly, children, and women account for the majority, and young and middle-aged people account for less than a quarter of them.

Is such a team going to travel long distances in such an environment...

Li Xiang couldn't help lowering her face, she frowned, a little hesitant.

At this moment, Zheng Qi suddenly reached out and patted her on the head.

"...Sorry, brother."

"Don't apologize, and don't thank me."

"Ah."

Li Xiang looked at the middle-aged man: "Are you going to make such a dangerous long-distance trek in this situation?"

"We know the risks of doing this, but..."

There is no other way.

For them, this is the only hope.

The man didn't say these words, but his tired face undoubtedly conveyed the meaning.

"In this case, you need bodyguards."

As Li Xiang said, he pointed his thumb to Zheng Qi: "With Big Brother as your bodyguard, you can feel at ease."

Hearing Lixiang's words, the middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, but what he revealed afterwards was not the ecstasy of grasping at the straw, but a kind of humble consideration of gains and losses.

"But, but, we really can't offer any decent remuneration, even your life-saving grace, we have nothing to repay..."

It could be seen that of course he hoped to get Zheng Qi's protection.

However, at a young age, he is also very clear about the basic laws of gains and losses in the world.

In other words-

"It's normal for you not to believe us. After all, the races are different, the purpose is unclear, and it's just a one-sided relationship. In addition, the most basic interests and needs cannot be met. No matter how you think about it, we won't break up in this situation. Send out an important force to protect you."

Da Vinci simply exposed the middle-aged man's thoughts.

The man hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "That's right...Although we really want to rely on you, but we are afraid of being abandoned halfway, the old people are easy to say, women and children may not be able to bear the blow of losing hope anymore ..."

"So, even if I know it's presumptuous, I still hope that I can know the reason why you are willing to help us."

If Zheng Qi were asked to speak, he would directly say that there was no special reason.

Because he would come forward to stop Tristan at that time, it was entirely because he couldn't see it.

But Zheng Qi didn't say anything, even if he knew that the man was watching him carefully when he said these words, Zheng Qi still gave up the position of communication to Li Xiang and the others.

"Brother, I think it's just because I can't bear it anymore."

Li Xiang said earnestly: "As for the reason for asking Big Brother to protect you and go to the east, how about this, we do have a request."

"It can be foreseen that after we go to the holy capital to investigate, there is a high possibility that we will become enemies with the knights of the holy capital. In fact, the elder brother repelled that Tristan, which has already laid the groundwork. Therefore, in order to survive in this era, we need a retreat."

"For this, we need your assistance."

"We naturally hope to help you, but as you can see..."

"I don't need you to be our fighting force."

Li Xiang said: "I hope you will lead the way."

"As you can see, our race is different from yours first, and we are relatively unfamiliar with this area. It is extremely difficult to gain the trust of the people of the mountain and enter the east. It may cause misunderstandings and directly lead to fighting happened."

"So... you say yes, uncle."

"Ah, that's how it is! If you go with the merit of saving us, the old man in the mountain and the others won't embarrass you! I understand!"

An excited smile finally appeared on the face of the middle-aged man.

Of course, in such a situation, if one thinks more deeply and is more cautious, perhaps one should doubt whether this is a play—a show of collusion in order to detect the stronghold of the people of the Eastern Mountain.

But let's not talk about the limited information these refugees have, the predicament they are encountering now is not enough to make them think about it.

Therefore, when Lixiang promised that Zheng Qi would be in charge of protecting them and going to the mountainous area to the east, the man left happily and went to tell the good news to others.

"Is... is this really good? At this stage, Lixiang and your side are lacking in combat power. At this juncture, let Zheng Qi go out to protect them."

Roman said worriedly.

"Yeah, after finally having Zheng Qi's fighting power, he is actually planning to let him divide his troops and continue to investigate in the holy capital..."

Da Vinci looked at Li Xiang: "That Shengba does not sound like a scene that can be easily dealt with."

"Tristan didn't fall here—ah, sorry bro, I didn't—"

Zheng Qi waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.

"In short, although I don't know much about Tristan's legend, since he has escaped, I am afraid that the Holy City will definitely be on guard against the eldest brother. The characteristics of the eldest brother are too conspicuous. If we want to infiltrate the Holy Capital to investigate, we cannot Bring big brother, this is already a definite result."

Li Xiang raised a finger: "As for going east with these people first, it's a waste of time."

"In the final analysis, didn't we plan for the three of us to go to the holy capital at the very beginning? We always go on this investigation trip to the holy capital. It should be sooner rather than later."

"With big brother going forward, we can also prepare a way out for us."

"And, I also believe in the abilities of Matthew and Da Vinci, right?"

"Yes! Master! I will guarantee the safety of you and Da Vinci!"

"Fu!"

"Yeah! And Mr. Fufu!"

Looking at the serious Matthew, and then at the smiling Lixiang, Da Vinci sighed with a smile, and looked sideways at Zheng Qi: "Don't you persuade me?"

"There's no reason for a layman to point out an insider."

Zheng Qi put his hands in his pockets and said calmly: "Without me, you have successfully repaired five singularities."

"If you really want to talk about human restoration, she is the real expert, isn't she?"

"……really."

Roman's voice sounded relieved and helpless.

"Lixiang, you have indeed matured."

"Hmph, thank you for the compliment."

Li Xiang made a V letter with both hands, smiling.

"However, insurance must be done well."

With that said, Zheng Qi patted Li Xiang's head again: "Turn around and face me."

"oh oh."

Seeing Li Xiang who turned his face obediently, Zheng Qi took out a necklace.

The pendant of the necklace is a guard.

Zheng Qi knelt down on one knee, hung the necklace made of real eyes on Li Xiang's neck, then looked at her and said, "Li Xiang, I trust your judgment."

"However, if you encounter troubles that you can't handle..."

"Just muster up your courage and call out my name loudly."

Chapter 329 Chapter 29: Between the Thrones

"What a gaffe."

Gawain, who had just arrived between the throne rooms, looked at Tristan, frowning slightly, with confusion and worry in his eyes: "I heard that there was an emergency situation, but I didn't expect it to be like this..."

"Why didn't you treat the injury first?"

Looking at the one-armed Tristan, Gao Gao asked.

"... Regarding this question, the answer will be included in the report I will submit to Wang later."

Tristan said calmly.

"Ha, what else can a cripple have to say, just admit a mistake, if you are afraid, I can help you talk about it."

Leaning on the long pillar beside him, Mordred looked at Tristan who was kneeling on one knee with a sneer on his face.

Tristan was silent.

Gao Wen turned his head to look at Agguiwen who was slowly coming out from the door of the side hall.

"Your Excellency Assistant Officer, where is Your Majesty now?"

"Your Majesty has fallen asleep. If there is any situation, I will convey it."

Agguiwen said with a blank face.

This mean-faced man always looks gloomy, like a portrait made of steel, making it hard to tell what mood he is in at the moment.

He looked at Tristan who was bowing his head: "I will punish you for your dereliction of duty later. Before that, go back to your mansion and wait."

"...Then, please allow me to submit the important information before committing suicide."

After a brief silence, Tristan spoke.
