Radiant Enemy

The slight hostility and vigilance held by the first knight of the round table did not have any impact on Hilgna. After all, with Hilgner's status, Lancelot's attitude could not change anything.

And as he accompanied the visitor from afar, even Lancelot, who was prejudiced and hostile at first, had to admit that the white-haired king was as knowledgeable and heart-warming as Gawain said. He has a good impression, and his gestures are full of grace and charm.

Even Lancelota, who was dissatisfied with Hilgna from the very beginning, has softened his attitude even though he didn't show it on the surface.

This was originally a matter between Arthur, Hilgna, and Guinevere, and Lancelot should not interfere casually.

Arthur maintained a warm and welcoming smile, and after leading Hilgna around the castle, successive political affairs that Arthur needed to deal with appeared one after another.

Seeing this, Gao Wen suggested that he and Lancelot entertain the distinguished guests.

Firstly, after all, some political affairs had to be handled by King Arthur himself, and secondly, it would be better for the knights of the round table to lead the distinguished guests to visit Camelot City.

"After all, the people in Camelot City are too...enthusiastic towards the king. If they crowded over to see the king and caused a stampede, it would be bad."

Hilgner recalled the earth-shattering, star-chasing scene when he entered the city, and couldn't help but nodded, agreeing with Gao Wen.

After experiencing the encounter with Guinevere in the morning, Hilgner paid great attention to the distance with Arthur, and I don't know if Arthur noticed this, but after thinking for a while, the blond King of Knights, So he handed over the reception to the trusted knights.

The city of Camelot has a different vitality from La Grocita, which also means that King Arthur's rule has indeed ushered in the peace and prosperity that the people of this land long for.

Gawain and Lancelot took Hilgner to the west street, where businessmen from all walks of life gathered here, and there were a wide variety of goods.

Hilgner took a quick glance and found that there was nothing he wanted, but the soldiers under his command were quite interested in these commodities, so Hilgner let them move freely.

But at Finley's insistence, Hilgner still left some soldiers by his side to guard.

However, after wandering around, Hilgner still found something wrong in Camelot City: "There seems to be a lot of women in this city?"

Although it is natural that the number of women is small in such an era, and Silgner has spent a lot of effort to make the difference in the ratio of men and women in Ireland less disparate, Camelot City seems to be different from La Grocita. The number of women who can walk on the street is actually equal to that of men.

Suspicious, Hilgna devoted part of his energy to calculations. He excused being tired, stayed in a resting place similar to a tavern, and counted the passers-by for a period of time.

As expected, the number of women in this city is roughly equal to that of men.

Now Hilgner's mind is alive. If he can establish a relationship with Camelot and let the women here marry the soldiers and the people under his command, the birth rate in Ireland will increase, which means that There are even more people who can be used in Hilgner's hands.

In any case, people are the foundation of construction.

Of course, Hilgner did not intend to use such an inhumane method as human trafficking. If a woman was to marry to a foreign country, the best way would be to let them see how rich and convenient the country where her husband lived was, and suitable for living.

This is not poaching, but just a legitimate and bright pursuit and competition.

But the first step is to get the consent of the city owner.

Hilgna was a little hesitant. After all, those women married to La Grocita, which meant that there would be fewer women in Camelot.

If it was the wise King Arthur, even if they were friends who had known each other for many years, they would probably not agree to such a request that would shake the foundation of the country.

Hilgner didn't want to conflict with Arthur on this matter. After all, there are far fewer people around him who can communicate on an equal footing. If you count, there are even only Ivy, Finley, and Arthur.

But as Hilgna's coercion and aura grew day by day, Finley also became more and more cautious. When the white-haired king asked casually, he hesitated before replying.

Hilgner didn't want to lose Arthur as a friend, so he planned to use another more roundabout way to achieve his goal.

I was thinking about how to implement another method, but I heard a loud call from outside the door: "Those monsters have appeared again! Someone hurry up and notify the Knights of the Round Table!"

Gawain and Lancelot also heard the shouts, they looked at each other, nodded, and started to act.

Lancelot said to Hilgner in a calm and quick tone: "I'm sorry Your Majesty, there is a little commotion outside the city right now, and I, as the Knights of the Round Table, have to deal with it. I will let Gawain escort you Back in the palace, I hope you will forgive me for not being able to continue introducing you to this city."

Hilgna pondered for a while, and asked, "Are the monsters outside the city very troublesome?"

"That's not the case. After all, those monsters don't know what medicine they took wrongly. They come here almost every month." Gao Wen replied, "Just for the safety of the distinguished guests, let me send you back to the palace first. Bar."

"After all, there are all kinds of creations that humans don't know about in this land. Maybe they think there are some delicious things here, so they are attracted, and they always appear." Lancelot added.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to panic, we will get rid of the monsters soon." Gao Wen reassured.

The Knight of the Sun originally intended to let the king, who looked slender and unable to lift his hands, not worry about his own safety, but unexpectedly, this distinguished guest showed a very interested smile, and slowly spit out words that stunned Gawain : "In that case, let's go together."

"But——this is too dangerous!" Gawain was a little anxious. Of course, he could see that King Arthur attached great importance to Hilgna, and as far as he was concerned, he never wanted the honored guest he liked to encounter any danger.

"You are the knights of the round table, right? I have heard your rumors from the people here. If those rumors are true, I don't need to worry about my comfort at all, do I?"

Hilgner smiled slightly to appease Gao Wen who disapproved of frowning.

"Besides, compared to the knights of the round table in the inner city, you who are here can rush over faster, but you can't let go of the task of guarding me. From what you can tell, even if Mr. Lancelot goes alone, he will be able to go smoothly. Solve it, then it will be easier if the two Knights of the Round Table go forward, right?"

Hilgner's unquestionable smile made Lancelot truly feel that the gentle white-haired man in front of him was showing the king's one-sidedness and condescending arrogance at this moment: "Still, what do you two think? With my strength, can't I protect my safety while killing the monsters?"

Hilgner's light words inspired the fighting spirit of Lancelot and Gawain.

There was no cover-up aggressiveness at all, but they jumped into it anyway.

Lancelot said seriously: "No, with my Lancelot's strength, I will naturally be able to protect your safety and at the same time eliminate the monsters smoothly."

"Ah, that's right. You will see the strength of the Knights of the Round Table under King Arthur later." Gawain put his hand on the long sword beside him, his eyes sparkled, and he was full of fighting spirit.

Hilgna, who had achieved his goal, smiled slightly, and then put his hands on the shoulders of the two knights: "In that case, then I will give you a ride along the way."

"What?" Before the two knights could react, Hilgna activated the rune magic, teleporting them all into the air.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa neither Activate the rune once and teleport them to their destination.

Lancelot and Gawain were caught off guard by the Hilgna-style teleportation method. Even the experienced Knights of the Round Table took a few seconds to recover.

However, if it was the Knight Guards under Hilgna's command, it would probably take more time to recover.

After comparing his soldiers with the Knights of the Round Table, Hilgner couldn't help but think about poaching again.

Gawain and Lancelot stood on the city wall, but the monsters gathered outside the city did not gather together, just like a large gray cloud, looking very terrifying.

But beyond Hilgner's expectation, the residents in the city were not afraid at all. Instead, they gathered on the roof not far away in anticipation, stretched their necks to look at the city wall, and could vaguely hear them calling Gao Wen with the excited voice of Lancelot.

He didn't look like he was going to escape at all, but he seemed to be watching some large-scale event with great interest.

Hilgna looked at these monsters. They had furry bodies that were white or gray, and their bright red eyes were emitting a fierce light at the moment. Hungry saliva flowed from the sharp teeth, and it could be imagined from the four claws that were shining with cold light. If they invade the city, what kind of tragedy will happen to this city.

It wasn't just these mice and monsters who came to attack. Although there were a lot of them, most of them were blocked outside the moat.

"Where do these monsters come from?" Silgner has never met this kind of monsters. Although they look like rabbits, their size and ferocity are much larger than ordinary rabbits, not to mention the teeth are clearly visible. , they are carnivorous.

"These monsters appeared a few months ago, and no one knows where they came from." Gawain took out the rotating victory sword and replied.

"Although we are their bait, as long as we win, this side will enjoy them in turn."

"Although the appearance is a bit ugly, the meat is still very tender. Every time a monster appears, the people will be very happy." Gawain said such words solemnly, and Hilgner couldn't help but recall the finale of the dinner party. Looking up at the stars for the main course, and the rough, hard scones for breakfast.

The people of Great Britain are really in dire straits—Hilgner sighed in his heart out of time.

Even the meat of Warcraft was not spared!

But putting this aside, if the meat of monsters can be eaten, Hilgna doesn't think they are pests.

If they are not poisonous and the meat quality is good, then they are beneficial to humans.

Um?Are humans likely to be eaten?

Hilgner doesn't think the Knights of the Round Table will lose.

Sure enough, as Hilgner expected, Gawain swung his long sword easily and freely, and the magic power that emanated swept away those monsters, leaving only the monsters that could not be included in the sword light looking up blankly. know what happened.

And then Lancelot appeared on the stage. Those magical beasts that escaped by chance were never spared again. A line of blood was drawn on their necks, and they all fell to the ground.

In a neat, clean, beautiful and cruel battle, Hilgner calmly raised the strength estimates of Gawain and Lancelot in his heart, and then sincerely praised: "It was a perfect battle, Great Britain and King Arthur can It is their fortune and honor to have knights like you."

"You praised me." Although Gao Wen said so modestly, judging from the bright smile on his face, he was very happy to be praised by Hilgna.

Even Lancelot couldn't maintain a cold face in front of Hilgna's sincere smile. He sighed softly and said, "Our king must have sensed the movement here. Now that it's resolved, I think It is better to send you back to the palace as soon as possible to avoid any trouble."

Hilgner agreed this time, after all, for him, there was nothing to visit in this Camelot city.

When he was teleporting in the sky just now, he took the opportunity to scan the entire city of Camelot, the residences of the nobles, the residences of the common people, as well as water sources, commercial markets, and the confidential places guarded by heavy soldiers. , were all kept in mind by Hilgner.

After seeing the strength of the Knights of the Round Table, the white-haired king really calculated in his heart, and found helplessly that if he really wanted to fight, his chances of winning would be very low.

After all, Hilgna didn't want to take down Camelot. Although it was just a general sweep, and the specifics had to be investigated on the spot, this was at best Hilgna's own bad habit, and it was nothing more than precautionary measures.

After returning to the palace, Hilgner immediately saw the blond king who came out to greet him, his handsome face was slightly frowned, and the worry and disapproval that appeared almost made people feel guilty.

"Hill, as long as you're fine." After confirming that Hilgna was intact, Arthur heaved a sigh of relief.

The Hilgna he knew from the sheepskin book was abandoned by his father when he was young, and he was picked up and raised by a passing businessman after starving for a long time in the wilderness, but this also led to the root cause of weakness, although he would not suffer from any serious illness , but there is some weakness in the bones.

After meeting Hilgna, Arthur became even more determined to take good care of Hilgna's body.

Hilgner looked a little pale, and against the white hair of the same color, he looked even more desolate and silent. Although his blue eyes and the corners of his naturally smiling lips softened his face, Arthur was talking to Xi When Ergner hugged, he discovered how thin and slender Silgner's body was, and the raised butterfly bone could almost be touched on the back of the palm that he stroked.

Even though Arthur knew that Hilgna was not really a weak medicine pot, he still subconsciously wanted to include Hilgna into his protection circle so that he would not be harmed at all.

Guinevere also heard the news, and she came out together to welcome this distinguished guest from afar.

When she saw that Arthur had almost only Hilgna in his eyes, she couldn't help thinking complicatedly in her heart: Wang's behavior was too obvious, and the keen knights of the round table would find something wrong.

Guinevere's eyes swept over the sharpest and toughest Knight of the Round Table, Agguwen, and couldn't help but sweat for Arthur.

Ageguiwen's face was colder and stiffer than before, as if he had really turned into steel, making one wonder if there would be a crisp echo when he tapped his finger on it.

The attack of Warcraft did not have any impact on Camelot. On the contrary, it brought a lot of edible meat to ordinary people and relieved the pressure on some food storage.

And Hilgna also took the opportunity to put forward his own suggestion at dinner: "If you agree, we, La Grocita, want to trade with your country-the fresh vegetables and fruits, meat, and even sweets and vegetables you want. Salt blocks, we can provide both."

Arthur stopped eating. For various reasons, he had a large appetite, so the maids were the fastest to remove dishes from his table.

"Of course there is no problem with trade, and Great Britain welcomes it." Arthur looked at Hilgna, who was at his side, who was at ease. He had long known that Hilgna had many strange ideas in his mind, and sometimes even Arthur would be caught Hilgner's thoughts frightened.

Since Hilgna would raise it, it would definitely not be a simple trade request.

Although Arthur believed that Hilgna would not harm him, he was still curious why.

So after dinner, Arthur sent Hilgna to the door of the guest room, hesitated for a while, and asked his doubts.

"..." Hilgna was silent for a moment, and then said nonchalantly, "I just thought you might need some ingredients, Arthur."

Due to the advanced farming methods and scientific grazing methods in La Grochita, the production of various grains has been greatly increased, and the warehouses have been filled with abundant grain, grass and seeds.

But those unconsumable grains are about to have an impact on prices. In order to prevent grain prices from falling further, Hilgener needs to consume these excess grains.

It is one thing to trade with Great Britain to sell those white sugar, salt, and wheat. On the other hand, Hilgner really hopes that Arthur can use these ingredients to eat better.

That's right, just like Arthur wanted to feed Hilgner healthier, Hilgner also felt that the food in Great Britain was too poor.

Arthur and his citizens are actually able to eat the meat of monsters with relish, and they also regard the stargazing pie as a delicacy...

Hilgner felt that as Arthur's friend, he had an obligation to let Arthur know what was delicious.

The trade went off without a doubt, Silgner told Ivy about it, and the first shipment from La Grocchita was due to arrive in a few days.

But what Hilgner didn't expect was that the current consul Aiwei came with this batch of goods.

Ai Wei, who has the same hair color and eye color as Hilgna, has shown her aura under the sculpting of the years. Her eyes are firm and her steps are confident. Even if she is a queen, no one will question her.

It's just that when she saw Hilgner, the awe-inspiring aura that made people dare not get close suddenly turned into a bright and soft smile: "Hill!"

She threw herself into Hilgna's arms as intimately as when she was a child, and hugged her brother's waist tightly.

"Ivy, why are you here?" Silgner was a little stunned. He frowned and pulled Ivy aside, and asked, "If you're not here, who is in charge at La Grozita?"

"Don't worry, I've already arranged everything, there won't be any problems. Besides, I'll only be here for a few days. After all, Hill's White Queen is very fast. It's just a few days and nothing will go wrong." Love Wei had been prepared for a long time, and took out the speech she had prepared.

"I came here this time to meet the person you are looking for, brother, you have traveled thousands of miles to this strange land." Ivy looked at King Arthur surrounded by the Knights of the Round Table, her eyes flickering.

Arthur noticed Ivy's gaze, and he smiled politely and friendly at the woman who brought a large amount of goods, without any intention of underestimating it.

"He's a very nice person, at least he didn't treat me like a maid or an ignorant vase like the people I met just now." Ivy smiled at Hilgna and said in a flat tone.

Ivy recalled the intelligence messages she had received, and after hesitating for a while, she said, "Hill, it has been several years since Cu Chulainn left, don't you plan to marry a new queen?"

Ivy knew that she was poking Hilgner's sore spot, but she didn't want Hilgner to stay in the past emotionally - the wound would not heal until the blood scab was torn off.

The consul who has been paying close attention to the king knows how well, after Cu Chulainn left, the smile on Hilgna's face was much less, and he worked tirelessly, as if he had devoted himself completely to building the country, completely It never occurred to me to find another wife.

In the end, Ivy thought that it would be okay for Hilgner to marry another queen of the same sex—even if she didn’t marry, just put a few lovers in the harem, as long as he could be happy.

But Hilgner also refused, and sent all the handsome teenagers and young people carefully selected by Ivy to work.

But this time, someone was able to make Hilgna put down the political affairs in his hands and go out to look for them in person. Even though Hilgna himself said it was a distraction, Ivy also noticed the importance of this 'Arthur' to Hilgna.

Not to mention what she saw with her own eyes at this moment, Arthur was good enough to match Hilgna—much better than Cu Chulainn.

That being the case, she will definitely make Arthur the new queen of La Grozita, so that her brother can show a sincere smile again.

The consul, who was cultivated by Hilgna, was determined to win.

The author has something to say:

Ivy: I have to find a way to get Hill to marry King Arthur.

The mechanical keyboard is so difficult to use... Typing requires force, fingers hurt... I use the green switch, I don't know if the red switch will be better
