The Knight King of the Otherworldly Moon

"Robin Hood? If I remember correctly, this is like the name of a righteous thief. I heard that he specializes in robbing criminal businessmen and nobles and then distributes what he robs to the commoners." Lucifer recalled that the lady maid once popular knowledge.

His words made Robin Hood smile wryly.

"Yeah! I didn't expect that the rumor of a little thief like me could be heard by Wang. I suddenly felt honored."

As a name thief, he doesn't think that fame is a good thing.Especially when a king heard his name.That usually means maybe being taken care of, right, like right now.

"Thanks to a dutiful lady maid, I have learned a lot of anecdotes about this country. Let go of him, he should also be a noble knight in the kingdom."

Lucifer raised his hand to signal, Gawain and Lancelot also put down their swords at the same time.

"Yes!"

After speaking, they temporarily stepped aside to turn on the guard.Although Lucifer had given an order, if the righteous thief in front of him wanted to escape, they would take action at any time.

"As a king, it's so easy to trust a stranger's words. I don't know whether to call you tolerant or too gullible." Robin Hood breathed a sigh of relief.He looked at Lucifer calmly.

Before that, he was deprived of his title due to a conspiracy of a nobleman and became a vagabond.The person who gave this order was the previous king. He didn't know the details, but he didn't have much affection for the king.Especially after seeing Wang Liannian's campaign, which made this originally powerful country gradually exhausted.

"Or you should say you're honest and didn't lie to me."

"..." Robin Hood discovered that the new king was far more terrifying than the previous one.

Maybe not quite right to use terrible, but probably should be called excellent.

"We are now rushing to reinforce the South. I believe that your ability will be a help in future wars. Sir Robin Hood, join me and regain the glory of the past as a knight to fight for this country." Facing Robin Hood in front of him , Lucifer sent an invitation directly.

With just that one hand, the person in front of him will display his outstanding talents as a spy or a sentinel.Facing the coming war, Lucifer needs all the power that can be used.

However, Robin Hood gave an unexpected response.

"Sir Robin Hood is no more, and now there is only a righteous thief named Robin Hood."

"Really. It seems that you have a not very pleasant past. In that case, you go!"

Lucifer's bluntness made Robin Hood a little uncomfortable.

"Will the king not pursue my offense?"

"Am I being offended? It should be said that I took the initiative to disturb your peace." Lucifer walked slowly to a tree, and he put his hand on the trunk and said calmly.

His words seemed to be speaking to Robin Hood, as well as to this forest, or even to the elves in the distant forest.

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

"I see in your eyes something called will. 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 seen through everything, causing Robin Hood to fall into a long silence.

"..."

Yes, he was fighting his way, and although it was different from the knightly fighting he had learned before, he never forgot the knighthood he had learned.It's just that he is no longer recognized as a knight like this.

Lucifer saw this, yes, in the moment just now, that look was like that of the former French undead team.The group of knights who swore on wolf blood and swung their great swords to stop the abyss from spreading were eventually swallowed by the abyss because they were too close to the abyss.

When Lucifer lit the three beacon fires and opened the gate, there were only a dozen captains left because of the execution of the undead team members, and the corpses filled the hall.They raised their swords in honor of Lucifer, the newest member of the undead team, while letting him kill them as a final test.

According to the legacy at the time, I seem to have become the last member of the Undead Squad.

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

"This land has been infected with too many wars. The knights behind me are fighting for the motherland they love, at the risk of their lives. If I lose, this place will soon be ignited by war. At that time, please use your own Continue to protect this forest, knight."

The knights took one last look at the former knight, and withdrew their swords and followed in the footsteps of the king.

It wasn't 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 orders, and the largest one in the center of all the tents was Lucifer's lounge as the king.

Inside the tent, after a long order, Lucifer finally arranged things properly.At this time, 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.

With firelight flowing in his eyes, Lucifer saw an intruding uninvited guest, or an acquaintance in front of him.

"Oh! A third-rate magician who likes to peep, if you continue to show your illusions in front of us, I think something regrettable may happen later. But this time, it's not as simple as burning your robes. ." Lucifer sat back in front of his throne and supported his cheek with one hand.

"Second time. Can you tell me that, how on earth did you crack my illusion?" Merlin's expression was a little embarrassed.

This was the second time that Lucifer had seen through the illusion, and his face was a little bit unbearable.

"Is it important?"

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

"Next? Killed? Oh, I see. It seems that you were a scum before, and you are already scum to the point where you will be killed by enemies all over the world." Lucifer deliberately misinterpreted Merlin's meaning.

But if you think about it carefully, with this guy's lively personality, maybe he really has a lot of enemies.What he is best at is illusion. Once he loses this trump card, he may be corpse in the street next time.

"..."

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not a devil either. For the sake of your helping me before, I'm not that impersonal either. My eyes can see the flames burning within the soul, and in other eyes You are a person, but in my eyes, you are burning with fire, well, your fire is full of conspiracy colors."

"Flame. The fire of sin?"

"I take back the foreword. It seems that you are not as useless as you imagined. At least your brain is not bad. How about it, scum magician, join my command, and I can give you the position of a palace magician or even a sage." Lu Siefer invited Robin Hood as he had done before.

These words sounded somewhat random.However, this is also impossible.As the new king, he has no background and no team of his own.After that, if you want to manage the country well, you must find some people who can be used.

"It sounds good. But if you think about it, forget it. I was originally entrusted by others to train a good enough king for this country. Your appearance makes everything in the world unpredictable, and I did not continue to stay. The reason." Merlin refused without any hesitation.If the maiden knight standing here now, he will definitely promise to stay and nurture her.

But Lucifer in front of him no longer needed to be taught as a mentor, so he naturally had no reason to stay.Both of them understood this point, and Lucifer didn't have much expectations for the invitation just now.

"So, you came here today to say goodbye to me? There's no need for that. Our relationship has not been good enough to sympathize with each other." Speaking of which, Lucifer waved his hand jokingly, as if he was driving away some vermin.

"Your attitude is still as bad as always. Even if it is treated differently, it is too bad. If it is a cute knight girl outside, you definitely have a different expression now." Merlin's eyes twitched a little during the words.

After all, he is also a great magician, why does he have no status now.

"You also said she was a cute knight girl. Isn't that of course, if you say now that you are a magical girl Meryl, not a magic scumbag Merlin, I will also change my attitude. So if you want to blame it, you will be born a man. you."

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

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

"Whether it is or not, there is nothing you can do to stop me right now. The only thing you can do is: wait and hope."

"Wait, and hope..., I like that."

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

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

"Okay! Although you are mean to me, but for the sake of this sentence. I will give you the gift I just prepared to take. Take it and you will become the real king, the undefeated king. ." Speaking of which, Merlin finally got to the point.

He came here tonight not to chat with Lucifer, but to prove the last king.

He took an ornate scabbard from his cloak and placed it on Lucifer's table.The main body of the scabbard is blue, and it belongs to the same level as the holy sword in terms of craftsmanship.Just by touching it, you can feel the powerful magic power radiating from the scabbard.

"It's beautiful, this scabbard." Lucifer's fingers slipped over the scabbard, his eyes seemed to be looking at a work of art.

"Whoever owns this scabbard will have the ability to look back in time, and you will never grow old, you will not be injured, you will not die, you will no longer suffer from illness, and you will no longer be troubled by time. more precious treasures."

"A miracle of time? Thank you, magician." This time, Lucifer put away his joking attitude and officially said thank you to Merlin.

"I've done what I'm supposed to do, now it's up to you, young king. I will witness everything in this country, including everything in you, from the tower on the other side."

Leaving these words, Merlin's figure disappeared in front of Lucifer's eyes in a burst of petals.

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

Thousands of years ago, the continent's only empire split, and after years of fighting, there were finally nine remaining.For hundreds of years, the nine countries have been mutually restraining each other from completely annexing each other, and now, an unexpected factor has joined.

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

"What kind of change will you bring to the world? That golden glitter will be very distressed next."*

no.22 Heavy rain (for tickets, 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 time to rest.

It rained heavily for a day, and it didn't stop completely until the fourth day, and Lucifer led the army to move on.There was a lot of turbulence along the way. When they walked along the avenue to a river near the road, there was a figure in the middle of the road.

He was the Robin Hood he had only seen before.The beach by the road was not dry yet, and Robin Hood did not hide his figure, but stood there directly.

"Stop there!"

Lucifer raised his hand to make a gesture, and the army behind him stopped one after another.He walked out of the crowd with Gawain and Arturia, and rode to Robin Hood.

"It's you again! This time is much more upright than last time, no need to be invisible?" At this time, Lucifer looked around and found that he was indeed the only one.

"I don't want to be misunderstood by your knights again. Don't talk about me, the reason why I came here now is to tell you not to move on. It's better for you to be spared."

Robin Hood's words made Lucifer think of what might have happened on the road ahead.

"Did something happen ahead?" he asked.

"Yesterday's heavy rain caused the water level of the river to suddenly skyrocket, and the only bridge that could go across the river has collapsed. Although the water is much calmer now, the water surface is much wider than expected. If you lose the bridge, you will continue to move forward. Not the river."

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

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

On the surface, he said so, but Lucifer didn't completely believe Robin Hood's words.While he asked Leah to bring the map, he sent Gawain to confirm the situation.

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

Gawain returned to the queue and set off quickly with several knights. He needed to confirm the authenticity of the news as soon as possible.If true, the condition of the river would be determined.

After Gawain left, Lucifer kept looking at the map. He observed 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 solutions are naturally not needed.

But if the worst happens, an alternative way to cross the river must be found immediately.

"The other bridge that is closest to here currently takes half a day's journey, plus the time to restore the original road afterwards, it will take another day." Lucifer muttered.
