Chapter 33 Rituals and Accidents
(Two chapters in one)
The girl's confusion did not last long.
"I think the most precious thing about the knight is a heart that never gives up." He said the answer word by word, showing combat uniforms and treasures--the girl with a giant shield bravely raised her head and stared at Wang Zhi, her bright purple eyes filled with confidence. No matter what the so-called "correct answer" is, at this moment, the girl was full of pride and pride for her answer, just as she has always performed. "No matter how difficult the future is, I will never give up!"
Maxiu's words were filled with momentum and positive energy, which quickly attracted everyone's applause. As the applause gradually subsided, everyone's eyes returned to Wang Zhi. The inspired girl looked excited and asked the other party in response. "Then what do you think... what is the most important qualification for a knight?"
"I don't know~" Wang Zhi shrugged his head and shrugged. In history, even the standards for knights' dress and words and deeds cannot be reached. How could such a specious question have a so-called standard answer? "Tristan once claimed that knights must understand art; Lancelot insisted that knights must have superb sword skills; Artoria always believed that strength is the standard for measuring knights. As for Gao Wen... he said that those who can lend a helping hand to others can be called knights at any time." Recalling the scene in his mind, he said many names that stunned others in one breath. "Their answers to this question are different, but they do not prevent them from becoming knights. Are you right?"
Maybe the tone of speaking was too relaxed, or the girl who was shocked by the name of the Knights of the Round Table, was stunned for a while, and then asked cautiously: "Since that's the case, why ask this question?"
The figure of a blond girl wearing white armor appeared in front of her eyes. She also asked the same question back then. Putting aside her longing for someone for a while, Wang Zhi restrained his smile and said seriously: "Because I want to confirm your true heart and remind you not to forget something."
A young man in his early twenties was tirelessly instilling topics about life philosophy compared to a young girl who was younger. It was a funny and absurd scene, but both the parties involved and the bystander seemed to have accepted the scene in front of him. He noticed that the people around him shook their heads and looked like they suddenly realized their enlightenment. Da Vinci, who could not suppress his curiosity, finally secretly gave the other party a elbow. "You know his true identity, right? Tell me his real name!"
"Sorry, I promised Your Majesty that he would not tell others this secret." Just as the word "loyalty" was engraved on his forehead, Sherlock Holmes showed a tight-lipped attitude. Unfortunately, the detective only lasted for a few seconds and lost all his moral integrity in the face of the conditions offered by the inventor. "Masch's new combat spirit robe uses the secret of Atlas Academy. Do you want to know?" His expression reminded me of the bewitching devil. Leonardo da Vinci chuckled at the tangled Sherlock Holmes with two roars.
Not to mention the interaction between the two heroes, Wang Zhi on the other side did not keep it in hiding. "Although there is no hard standard to become a knight, I think it is crucial to have a quality, that is self-control. Whether it is a great knight who has left his name in history or an unknown ordinary knight, he should have it."
Self-control... refers to the ability to restrain yourself? The pink-haired girl blinked and seemed to have some insight in her heart. "It's hope, can I always stick to my belief?"
"Not only that." He raised the weapon in his hand again, flipped his wrist and put it on the other party's shoulder. Wang Zhi organized the language a little, and then continued: "When you are weak, you will not bow down to the strong and the powerful; when you are strong, you will not vent your force at will; when you make mistakes, you will be able to listen to other people's opinions; and when the facts prove that your point of view is correct, you will not be proud of it... All these can be put into self-control."
"Your words, actions, every move, can be hidden from relatives, lovers, companions, lords and even gods, but cannot be hidden from your heart." The speed of speech gradually slowed down, and Wang Zhi and the girl's shining big eyes faced each other, and said earnestly: "If you lose your self-control, you may be swallowed by desire and become an unscrupulous person; you will be influenced by emotions and become an existence that abuses lynching in the name of 'justice'. This should be avoided by the knights."
After listening to the other party's words, Mashu, who was still kneeling on one knee, couldn't help but sweat. Reflecting on her performance for a long time, she realized that her behavior had vague signs of losing control. If he hadn't woken up in time, the girl would probably have fallen deeper and deeper in the days to come and lost her way. "Thank you for your teachings, I will definitely use my self-control to strictly demand myself!"
As early as when he first met, the other party's soul similar to the fake version of Lexington made Wang Zhi have the idea of "help her"; and the message left by an old friend in the treasure made Wang Zhi difficult to stand by. However, he was still very satisfied when he heard the girl's reply. Even if the formal meaning of this question was greater than the actual effect, a kind-hearted girl deserves praise, let alone she is still a beautiful girl, right? "Congratulations, child." He patted Maxiu's shoulders and forehead with his sword spine, and then Wang Zhi put away his weapon and said with relief: "You are now a real knight."
"Really? Oh yeah!" Happiness came so suddenly that even Mashu herself didn't believe it. She jumped up from the ground, and she made a V-shaped gesture to Fujimaru Rika, who had a complicated expression next to her, and then she realized that her performance was too casual. "Sorry, I'm so excited~~"
"It's okay." While responding casually, Wang Zhi took out a deep-sea core from his personal space. Looking at the black gas surrounding the block, he sighed quietly and held his hands tightly. When he spread his hands out again for more than ten seconds, the black gas had disappeared. "According to the rules, you should have been given armor, weapons and servants. But now you are in a hurry to follow the power, so you have to give it a moment-"
"This is impossible!!" The sudden scream attracted everyone's attention. Realizing that he had become the focus of his eyes, Da Vinci blinked and hurriedly acted innocent. "Sorry, I just remembered it, and it seemed that I had forgotten the last invention in Chaldean... "
After all, he was the acting director of Chalde, and his companion to overcome difficulties with everyone in times of crisis. Even though this reason sounds like perfunctory, no one raised any questions. He smiled and waited until everyone looked away, the female hero only gave the people around him a elbow in response. "You are lying to me, right? The 'she' in history is a woman!"
"Isn't King Arthur in history books a man?" He took a slight attack and grinned his teeth and refuted the other party speechlessly. "Even if it has been simplified a lot, what he has performed on Miss Gilellette now is undoubtedly the Knight's enthronement ceremony! In addition, it is not the best evidence to mention the round table so naturally?"
Da Vinci, who had let go of his hand, leaned dejectedly on the back of the chair. At this moment, the information she had just revealed continued to echo in her mind. "According to miss Modred, in the history of Britain, there was actually a behind-the-scenes hero. 'she' formed the Knights of the Round Table and assisted King Arthur in successfully ascending the throne. Because of her outstanding merits, miss Artoria specially awarded the honorary position of "her" to enjoy the same treatment as herself."
When she first heard this explanation, Leonardo da Vinci was a hundred people who didn't believe it. She was familiar with the legend of King Arthur and had never heard of such a person. The truth revealed by Sherlock Holmes made the female hero scream when she lost her composure, which attracted the attention of others. "In fact, 'she' also appeared in King Arthur's epic, but most people ignored it." The naughty child who laughed as if he had successfully played the prank, took off the pipe at the corner of his mouth and knocked it against the ashtray. "The name of 'her' in the history books is Gnevel."
Although he was still staring at the young man who was teaching Maxiu face-to-face, Da Vinci's attention was no longer there. Subconsciously folded his hands together, and the long burgundy woman with long hair muttered to herself in a voice that only she could hear clearly: "Is King Arthur's partner? No wonder she didn't want to reveal her real name. In history, this name is very unlucky..."
Although he could not hear the whispers of the two heroes, Holmes's profound gaze and Da Vinci's sudden appearance were all seen by Wang Zhi. He vaguely guessed what the two were talking about, and wanted to stop this discussion about his dark history. However, when he thought of the proverb of "Defending the people is more important than defending the river", he had to pretend that he had not seen it and focus on the girl in front of him. "Stretch out his hand." He purified the abyss breath in the core, and placed the cube reshaped into a round cake-shaped one in the girl's white and tender palm. "Just regard this... as a gift I give you~"
Feeling the power contained in the unknown thing in his hand, the girl who guessed her role couldn't help swallowing. Even though she was extremely eager to have the power to protect her beliefs and companions, when it was really in front of her, the girl still felt hesitant. Fortunately, the previous conversation played a role. After a brief hesitation, Maxiu carefully twisted the round cake and stuck it to her left chest. "Somewhat warm..." She noticed Wang Zhi's smile-like gaze. She lowered her head shyly. "Yes, sorry. I--"
After all, it is a magic power transformed by the power of the world, which is inevitable that I am discomfort. I taught her the magic extraction technique learned from Beatres, and Wang Zhi patted the latter's shoulder and said softly: "The answers to the question just now are different. But there was someone who gave the same answer as you before--"
Even without giving a name, Maxiu could guess the identity of the person he was referring to. "It's Mr. Galahad..." He tried to extract strength from the current 'Knight Medal' as Wang Zhi ordered. The girl who felt the power recover quickly was so excited that her face flushed. "Please rest assured, I will inherit his will and fight hard!"
Although it was a bit bad, considering the truth, Wang Zhi finally interrupted the other party with two dry coughs. "Please wait, Mashu, Galahad just returned to the Heroic Spirit Chair, he was not scattered~"
"Huh?" The girl was stunned for Wang Zhi's correction first, then she blushed and waved her hands and bowed to the surroundings. "I'm sorry, Mr. Galahad, I don't mean to curse you to die!"
It turned out to be the kind of cute girl who gave her all her strength during the battle but was usually a little bit natural. After a little bit of emotion about the other party's personality, Wang Zhi then bypassed Maxiu, who was still apologizing to the air and walked to someone not far away. "Did you... have you eaten something?"
Although he had been reminded, Goldruf did not expect that the other party would care about such an insignificant little thing. The fat blonde man who watched the whole process looked at Wang Zhi in awe. After hesitating for a moment, he took out an empty glass bottle from his shirt pocket. "What the accompanying church priest gave it to me, saying that eating it can quickly restore magic power."
There is no need to even further investigation. Wang Zhi can tell what the other party has eaten just from the traces left at the bottom of the bottle. Obviously, his premonition when fighting with the killing hunters was not an illusion. The time traveler army has intervened in it and planned some unknown new conspiracy. "That thing is not a magic potion, but a bad thing that can trigger your negative emotions." Wang Zhi, who used his power to show a mirror, worried that the other party was suspicious, pointed it at Goldrov's chubby face. "Look at it yourself, your eyes have begun to turn red."
In fact, Wang Zhi's consideration was purely unnecessary. He had the posture of a god when he was granted the identity of Mashu Knight just now. Even if he did not explain, Mr. Mujik did not have the courage to say "no". Of course, someone did this, but it was not useless. At least the other party's cooperation was greatly improved. "Damn it, I knew that those bastards were uneasy to teach those bastards to be uneasy!" The blond man who was nervously watching Wang Zhi groping in his lower abdomen, worried about his own condition said uneasy: "Uh... do you need me to take off my clothes?"
What do you think I'm doing? Do you think I'm doing on the spot? He rolled his eyes speechlessly, and Wang Zhi also put his hand on the other person's belly. Through his previous perception, he had roughly confirmed the location of the target.
As early as when he first went to the world of "Sword Art Online", Wang Zhi began to explore how to perceive and eliminate the abyss. Although he is still unable to grasp it, at least he is sure to deal with the thing that Mr. Mujik had just swallowed into his body. "Hey, that's it." He used the power of the world to suck out the dark soul container, and Wang Zhi put it in his palm and presented it to everyone's sight. "If it stays in your body for too long, your soul will be eroded, and finally transform into... the kind of person you hate the most."
Even though Fujimaru Rika and Maxiu had a negative view of this blonde fat man in their description, Wang Zhi always believed that when the submarine was sniped, he stood up to command everyone and released the magic barrier, and was not an unforgivable guy. So with the idea of "multiple friends and multiple roads", he decided to save this man who had no other shortcomings except fat and pride. "I purified the abyss breath inside, you can keep it and use it as a magic crystal." Confirm that there was no soul in the soul container, Wang Zhi threw it to Mr. Mujik, who was still in shock.
