Under the Root

"This flight was delayed due to weather, which has delayed your precious time. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you."

Amidst the voice of professional apology from the stewardess, Li Lin, a first-level lecturer who has been absent from the clock tower for nearly 20 years but has not been dismissed, thought of it.

Of course, when it comes to this.Perhaps it is strange why Li Lin still has a name after skipping work for 20 years.But thinking about his many bad relationships in this world, he won't feel weird anymore.

Damn related households, that's the kind of person you're talking about.

"So, next... no special car to pick you up?" Li Lin, who was 2 hours late and had just passed the security check, asked the lady next to him.

"Yes, yes, but how about walking with me?" Ma'am, Artoria, who was wearing a standard OL outfit, smiled lightly.

Gray shirt, black panties.

Plus a pure white down jacket.Compared with a king, she looks more like a modern successful woman.

But now this successful lady put her whole body on Li Lin's body, looking like a little bird clinging to her.

There is a great contrast with the previous steel image.

Well, the contrast is what Li Lin thinks.

The jealous onlookers thought so.The men who were still working at night cast menacing looks at Li Lin when they passed by Artoria.

"Uh, if I go on, I feel like I won't be able to reach my destination today." Li Lin shrugged.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you don't get there." Artoria tilted her head as if she was imitating a love song, and then realized that she was indeed not the material to pretend to be cute.

So she decided to take a more direct approach.

"It's okay for two people to stay for a while."

Turn around and look directly at Li Lin.The man whom the Lion King was staring at then pursed his lips and raised his toes slightly.

Before Li Lin could react, he felt warmth on his cheeks.

"Chirp."

…feels good to the touch, but how does it feel like a pill.Li Lin instantly thought of the bloody light of the hatchet.

----

"Well, what's the matter, Li Lin? What are you looking around for?"

Under the night, the Thames River is still noisy.The beauty is still there.

Her golden hair fluttered in the wind.

Arturia looked at Li Lin who was looking around curiously, feeling puzzled.

"No, nothing."

What's wrong with the world?This is.

Am I opening in the wrong direction?

Love song did not appear.Could it be that today is some kind of auspicious day?

Oh, today is actually an auspicious day.

On both sides of the road, the lights on the Christmas trees are shining with colorful lights.Pedestrians rushed towards the house with hasty and cheerful expressions.

Merry christmas.Bright greetings are written on the neon lights.It all shows what day it is today.

Christmas, the day to celebrate the birth of Christ.For western countries, there is no more important festival than this one.

Today, people get together with their families.

Today, people gather together.

today…

From the point of view of magic, the power of the baptismal chant of the Holy Church will reach its peak.

"..." So Li Lin frowned involuntarily.

"Are you worried about the Church of the Holy Church, or the person above them?" This time, Artoria was very clear.For Li Lin's evil fate, she is one of the parties involved.She is also quite aware of how persistent the supreme, heavenly savior is to Li Lin.

"Well, maybe I came back a bit early this time." It was so early that if the battle between Messiah and the Enlightened One ended in Messiah's victory, he would be very passive.

After all, coercing others with suicide will always make people find a way to break it.If he is taken back by the Messiah, he doesn't think he can find another master of the enlightened level to disrupt the situation.

"No, you came back late." But Artoria retorted.

"Late? Why?" Li Lin was puzzled.

"...Follow me." Without saying anything else, Arturia directly grabbed Li Lin and started walking.

Crashing, the knight stepped directly onto the river, and then began to run rapidly.

The power of the goddess exceeds the limits of human beings, and Li Lin is not the original weak chicken magician.In an instant, without the passers-by reacting, the two went up and down three times in a row, crossed several streets, and came to a wide place on the north bank of the Thames.

In fact, to be honest, it is not particularly easy to find a spacious place in a city like central London where every inch of land is expensive.

But here is something special.

"Westminster Abbey. One of the most famous cathedrals in London. Lily, what did you bring me here for?" Panting slightly, Li Lin was even more puzzled as he looked at the worshiping crowd in the church.

"Lily...forget it, it's up to you." I worried for a second about this name that didn't have any authority at all, but seeing Li Lin who was nothing unusual, Artoria finally acquiesced in this nickname.At least before using anti-magic power to polish the medicinal effect of the undead grass, he was still very happy to be called that.
