462 "Fairy Country"

Artoria Castor.

When the name came from the girl's mouth and reached Li Ge's ears, Li Ge had only one thought in his mind.

"It is indeed her."

How could Li Ge not recognize her?

You know, in this world, she is equivalent to a heroine.

"I didn't expect that just after I came to this world, I met one of the most important people in this world."

Li Ge stared at the girl with a silly smile in front of him, who looked like a country girl. He felt dramatic about the start of his dimension travel.

Of course, Li Ge did not express this idea.

"My name is Rigo Brighaut, just call me Rigo."

Li Ge just introduced himself calmly like this.

"Then you can just call me Artoria." Artoria was obedient, the smile on her face was still loose, but she asked with some confusion: "Which clan are you a fairy from? Why have I never had one?" Have you seen me?"

The fairies in Arturia's words refer to a special kind of life in this world.

They are another kind of life form different from humans, and are even quite different from the demihumans in the world of Earth and the King of the Undead.

They appear in various myths and legends.

For example, in Western myths and legends, they sometimes appear as winged fairies, sometimes as palm-sized villains, sometimes as incarnations of certain elements, and sometimes as elves, goblins, and dwarves. , goblins, red hats and even dragons appear, which is an extremely changeable and complex existence.

There are often rumors of goblins playing pranks in Scotland. The British Isles in King Arthur's legend even has the legend of the "Kingdom of Goblins". It is said that various goblins live there.

And this world, as shown by the matching intelligence from the Dimensional Rubik's Cube, is a fairy realm and a fairy country.

This is a world where fairies can be found everywhere, and even fairies are the mainstream.

The Arturia in front of her was also a fairy. She looked like a human girl, but in fact she was a completely different kind of life form from humans.

The dwarves who just appeared in Tintagel and the pointed-eared elves are all fairies.

In this goblin country, goblins are generally divided into six clans.

There is an earth clan who likes to make objects, loves workshop work, and exists in the image of dwarves.

There is the Wind Clan, which has the most similar appearance to humans, has a beautiful face, and can spread news quickly.

There is the Fang Clan, a simple-minded but powerful beast-like clan.

Fairies are just like this, with their own distinct images and areas of expertise. Moreover, no matter what kind of fairies they are, most of their powers are far superior to humans.

Therefore, in the dungeon of Tintagel, Li Ge met several minions like he just did, and it turned out that each of them was extremely powerful.

What Arturia is confused about now is the origin of Li Ge and the clan to which Li Ge belongs.

After all, Li Ge neither has the traditional pointed ears like the Wind Clan, nor does he have a unique appearance like the Earth Clan and the Fang Clan, which makes Artoria feel very strange.

As for the other three clans, Artoria has never seen them since she was born, so she doesn't know whether Lige is from the other three clans besides Feng, Tu, and Ya.

In view of this, Arturia asked this question. However

"I'm not a goblin." Li Ge shook his head and said, "I'm a human being." Hearing this, Artoria was stunned.

"Humanity?"

The girl opened her eyes wide again and looked at Li Ge in great surprise. She looked like she was seeing some rare species.

"So, so you are a human?"

Artoria

Really surprised.

In this kingdom of fairies, humans also exist.

However, the status of humans here is completely incomparable to that of fairies.

It would be better to say that humans here are actually equivalent to the possessions of goblins, the toys and pets they keep.

In this country, humans not only have no concept of reproduction, but the number of individuals born is strictly controlled. There are even special pastures for humans. It is conceivable what the status of humans in this country is.

It was also the first time for Artoria to see a "legendary" human being, so she was surprised, very surprised.

What surprised her even more was that the young man in front of her who claimed to be a human actually had enough power to surpass ordinary fairies.

Are humans that strong?

From what Artoria knows, humans have always been very weak creatures. Why did such a strong human suddenly appear now?

Is the knowledge in my head false? In fact, humans are stronger than fairies?

Arturia was confused.

There was only one thing Arturia could be sure of. That is, the man in front of him did not lie to himself.

What he said was true. This was what his "eyes" told him.

Just when Arturia was surprised and confused by Li Ge's identity, this time, it was Li Ge's turn to change the subject.

"What are you going to do now?" Li Ge said: "You have been imprisoned by the goblins in the village, and are you going to be handed over to some execution team?"

"Now that you have escaped, do you plan to go anywhere?" "I am a good man who will fight to the end, so I will give you a ride."

Li Ge's words suddenly choked Arturia.

"What's wrong?" Li Ge raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't even know where you plan to go, do you?"

"I don't know." Artoria whispered and muttered: "I haven't thought that far yet. I have been thinking about how to escape from the dungeon."

As for where to go after escaping from the dungeon, Artoria really hasn't thought about it. However, she did not feel confused.

He had known for a long time that he would leave the village. How about just going on the tour as planned? But the Staff of Choice is still in the village!

Arturia felt embarrassed and entangled for a moment.

"Okay." Li Ge finally understood Artoria's current situation and said, "Then do you have any temporary place to stay?"

"Temporary place to stay?"

Arturia muttered again, then she didn't know what she thought of, turned her head and looked in the direction of the coast.

"Where are you going?" Li Ge confirmed this.

"Yeah." Artoria nodded and said, "I have a friend who lives there, and that's the only place I can think of to go."

After saying this, Artoria laughed again as if she was troubled.

"But I almost did something sorry to him a few days ago, and now I suddenly come to him, wouldn't it be too shameless?"

Obviously, Artoria is still hesitating. In this regard, Li Ge had only one sentence.

"No matter what, you are no longer welcome in Tintagel. If you don't go see your friend, you may never have the chance to see him again in your life after you actually leave here. oh?"

These words touched Artoria deeply. She felt the same way.

I will definitely not be able to come back here in the future. If I don't go see "Grandpa" now, I'm afraid it won't be that easy if I want to meet him again in the future, right?

Thinking of this, the scales in Artoria's heart began to tip. "You really want to send me there?"

Artoria turned to Li Ge and looked directly at him with blinking eyes.

Those eyes seem to be able to see through other people's hearts, no?

No matter who sees it, they will feel uncomfortable subconsciously.

Li Ge looked as usual.

"The first person I saw after coming here is you. This can be regarded as a kind of fate." Li Ge said lightly: "Besides, I was the one who brought you out of the dungeon. In this case, at least I have to Make sure you won't be captured again."

There was one more thing that Li Ge didn't say.

That is, he knew very well how bumpy the future fate of this seemingly innocent girl in front of him would be.

Her ending in the original work left many people unable to let go. Her experience in this world made many people angry.

Li Ge hasn't reached that point yet, but since he has encountered it, he can help him to some extent. Not to mention far away, at the very least, I can help as much as I can for a tragedy that is about to happen in front of me.

"

Arturia didn't speak, and there were some incredible colors in the pair of uncomfortable eyes looking at Li Ge.

After a while, the girl showed a bright smile. "Thank you! You are such a good person!"

In this way, Li Ge got his first good guy card in less than an hour after coming to this world.

"Hold on tight."

The good guy in the girl's eyes held out a sinful hand towards her with a calm expression.

"Wait!" Arturia yelled and demanded strongly: "Take me away in another way!" She really didn't want to be taken away under her arm again.

"OK."

Li Ge readily agreed and lifted Artoria onto his shoulders. "Isn't this worse!?"

Arturia lay on Li Ge's shoulder and let out a shameful scream. "[Advanced Teleportation]."

Li Ge ignored the girl's accusations and struggles, activated teleportation magic, and disappeared on the hills.

It was a workshop on a promontory near Tintagel.

The workshop is located alone at the end of the coast beaten by the waves. It stands tall like a lighthouse. There is also a chimney on the roof, which is smoking out. The smoke coming out cannot bring people any harm. It's the kind of smoke from pyrotechnics, but the kind of exhaust gas that comes out when working in an industrial workshop.

According to Arturia, it was a forge that did not exist in Tintagel. In that forge lived a blacksmith who belonged to the Earth Clan.

The blacksmith's name is Ector, and he is a blacksmith who has lived here hundreds of years ago. He has a perverse temperament, a bad attitude, rough behavior, and chaotic style. In Artoria's words, he is a wicked person.

However, such a villain was a rare friend that Arturia made in her sixteen years of life. She even called him grandpa.

"Uh-huh!"

Li Ge, who was carrying Artoria, teleported here and put down Artoria, who was lying helplessly on his shoulders.

"Okay, how long are you going to be depressed?"

Seeing Arturia squatting down as soon as she landed on the ground, as if she was too embarrassed to see anyone again, Li Ge was speechless.

"Didn't I just carry you over? My actions shouldn't be considered rough, right?" Upon hearing this, Arturia glared at Rige.

"Is this a question of whether your actions are rough or not? This is a question of whether your method is correct!" Arturia shouted with extreme dissatisfaction, saying: "I am a girl after all, right? Can't you be gentler? , Treat me like a gentleman?"

"If you want, I can treat you like that." Li Ge looked directly at Artoria and said, "But that's definitely not who I am, it's just a pretense."

"Would you rather see me treat you the way I pretend to be? Or get along with you the way I am?"

"If you choose the former, can I change my attitude now?"

Li Ge seemed to mean something, but also seemed to say it casually.

Arturia fell silent.

"Then it's better to stay like this."

The girl murmured, then stood up and walked straight towards the forging field. Li Ge couldn't help but smile, and followed Arturia towards the blacksmith's workshop.

As she walked, Artoria's steps became hesitant again. It was obvious that Artoria had some stage fright.

She seemed to remember the thing she had done to feel sorry for Eckert, and she was struggling with the fact that she was about to see him.

But Arturia finally made up her mind, opened the door of the workshop and walked in.

Li Ge followed him and walked in, arriving at a forging workshop that was full of mess, but was unexpectedly stylish.

"锵——锵——锵一——锵——"

In the workshop, the sounds of blacksmithing were heard.

The source of the sound was in front of a blazing stove located in the deepest part of the workshop.

There, a stocky blacksmith with a standard dwarf appearance was wielding a hammer and striking a piece of red-hot iron. Judging from the shape of the iron, the blacksmith should be striking a weapon.

The arrival of Li Ge and Artoria did not attract each other's attention, and the other party also exuded a feeling of not wanting to be disturbed, making people subconsciously hold their breath and not dare to disturb them.

Arturia was like this. After seeing this scene, she became quiet on the spot and stood there motionless.

Li Ge was not in a hurry. Seeing that Arturia didn't want to disturb her or talk, he turned to other places and started walking around the workshop.

There are many things in the workshop, including weapons such as swords, armors and other armors, and even some headdresses, bracelets, necklaces and other decorations, even hoes and shovels. It feels like a blacksmith shop rather than a blacksmith shop. , rather than a grocery store.

But Li Ge was surprised to find that every product here was of frighteningly high quality. Even those hoes and shovels, their quality is far higher than the tools made by ordinary humans, let alone those swords and armors.

"At worst, this is comparable to the third-level special weapon, right?" Li Ge once again felt the gap between fairies and humans.

Goblins are a kind of mysterious existence that is born with them. They are by no means comparable to humans who are inherently fragile and have no extraordinary power.

The Earth Clan is also a famous blacksmith clan among the six fairy clans. The weapons they forge are, at worst, equivalent to the special weapons created by senior blacksmiths with the ability to develop "forging". .

Li Ge inspected the workshop and finally took down a knife from the wall.

It was a short knife, about half the length of an arm. The blade shone with a cold light and looked very sharp.

Rieger would notice it for two reasons.

One is that this short sword is the same as his Nichirin sword, both are black.

One is that this short knife contains a lot of magic power, and its quality is the highest in the entire workshop.

Li Ge could tell without using appraisal magic on it that this dagger was definitely comparable to the second-level special weapon, and might even be more than that.

Just when he was so sure, a deep voice sounded.

"That's a sword I forged a hundred years ago. Although it's just a short sword, perhaps because of the high-grade materials used, the knife's quality is surprisingly good. It's one of my best works in the past hundreds of years. "

Hearing this sound, Li Ge raised his head from the knife in his hand, turned his eyes, and looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw that the dwarf elf who was just forging iron in front of the furnace had finished his work and stood up.

No, he didn't finish his work, he stopped mid-stroke.

I don't know if he was attracted by Li Ge's actions, but the dwarf goblin threw aside the iron that he had been hammering very seriously just now. He held the hammer in his hand and came to Li Ge.

"E-Eckert?

"

Artoria called the other party weakly.

The dwarf elf——Ector ignored Artoria, but glanced at the Fool on Lige's waist who was not put into the storage space, and snorted.

"You have a very good knife on you. With that knife here, you should look down on my poor work, right?" Eckert's tone was indeed very rude and his attitude was very bad. He said: "Who can shoot such a knife?" As far as I know, there are no fairies even in Camelot. Where did you pick them up?"

Li Ge did not answer immediately, but raised the short knife in his hand. "If I tell you, can you give me this?"

Li Ge's words made Ector frown. "wait wait wait!"

Artoria quickly stood up and planned to stop Ector. However, Eckert did not get angry.

"If you want it, take it."

The dwarf elf snorted coldly and agreed simply. Artoria was stunned for a moment.

"Is this so easy to talk to?"

Is this really the Eckert I know?
