The Second Generation of Knights Encountering Demons Reappears

"Don't do this kind of thing!"

Seeing the ugly faces of some shameless guys in the forum who had started shouting "wife" at the "Lanling King" in the video, Lanling King felt chills all over his body for a moment.

And the most terrible thing is that King Lanling has not come forward to clarify in the video that this person is not him.

Because he has discovered that this guy who is pretending to be him is none other than his old acquaintance and one of his few friends.

Why did she choose to hide her identity, and why did she subconsciously borrow her own name?

It can be said that King Lanling knew everything, so he felt a little uncomfortable all of a sudden.

On the one hand, he could understand his friend's reasons for doing this, but on the other hand, he really didn't want to be regarded as a woman by the world. In short, he was very conflicted.

"About the incident where my friend wore my vest to hang out, and I witnessed the whole thing. 》

King Lanling's state of mind at this moment could easily fill a light novel.

In another world line, the Great Qin Lost World, the bespectacled girl, who also had a similar mood, guiltily avoided the sharp gaze of her servant.

--What should I do?

——How to fix it?

——By the way, why was I summoned by the heroic spirit? Am I not immortal?

All kinds of doubts flashed through her not-so-smart mind one by one, and a drop of cold sweat flowed down her pretty face, and she finally settled on the most serious problem.

——Speaking of me in the video, you won’t take off your vest, right?

Although Miss Akuko had already had a vague premonition when Lord Xiang Yu (Kaiji Zero Type) appeared in the plot, but thinking that after this plot is over, everyone in the world may know that she lost her vest. She couldn't help but let out the same lamentation as King Lanling.

"About the fact that I have hidden my identity for hundreds of millions of years, but was suddenly exposed by a video. 》

"Don't do this kind of thing!"

However, the video will not stop playing just because of other people's screams.

[After King Lanling (self-proclaimed) completed the cold self-introduction, Matthew and Romani also took some time to complete a summary of the existing combat power.

Legend has it that with only 500 cavalry, he was able to break through the encirclement of tens of thousands of enemy troops and complete the feat of defeating the weak against the strong. Mordred had excellent individual combat capabilities and his strength was obvious to all; in addition, he had the ability to defeat the First Emperor. The special attack assassin Jing Ke; as well as the combat power of two Kamen Riders and 14 Eye Soul Heroes.

Although such a lineup is still inferior to Da Qin under investigation in terms of hard power, it is not without a chance of victory. If it works well, it can even directly reverse the current disadvantage.

Of course, Romani and others, and even most of the audience, don't know how much surprise Miss Lanling Wang, who has been entrusted with the important task of military advisor, will bring them in the future.

At this moment, they only felt that there was hope for the future. Before Fujimaru Ritsuka and Himiko returned to the team, Emiya Shirou, who had been waiting for a long time, received a message from Sakamoto Ryoma's familiar.

In a village 20 kilometers away from the stronghold, news of ghosts began to spread recently.

Legend has it that when midnight comes, evil spirits armed with sharp blades will wander around the village and steal the three souls and seven souls of beautiful women. 】

679: Teenager (4k)

[Due to time constraints, after confirming the division of labor in the cave, Emiya Shirou and Miss Ranling Wang who volunteered followed the information left by Sakamoto Ryoma and arrived at the village with strange rumors at noon the next day. .

"Is this the village the intelligence tells us about?"

Using the telescope to simply observe the village that was very characteristic of the times, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but ask questions.

No wonder the red-haired young man was a little suspicious. No matter who came from Chaldea, it was inevitable that he would have doubts about the current situation.

After all, after Chaldea and his party came to Da Qin's Singularity, they saw a product like the Kuaiji Zero Type that transcended common sense. It is natural that they would subconsciously misunderstand and deviate from Da Qin's current technological level.

The current environment of the village is far from showing the level of technology that Emiya Shirou and Chaldea's group imagined, let alone novel technological products. Most of the people in this village are now Almost all of the houses are still built using thatch and fragile wood. Even though the materials used in several important facilities in the center of the village are higher-end, most of them are made of stone and soil, which makes them look better than ordinary houses.

This gap in technical level made Emiya Shirou feel a little disconnected, and he had to look at the two people who came to help him, hoping to get answers.

Beside him, there were standing a young man with long black hair tied into a ponytail and a tall woman with long black hair. They were Sakamoto Ryoma and his wife Aaron who had sent back the news. Miss.

However, Ryoma Sakamoto could not give an accurate answer to Shirou Emiya's question for a while. In fact, when he pretended to be a wanderer of this era and searched for information in several villages, he asked these villagers similar questions in a circumstantial way. , but did not get an accurate answer.

At least at the civilian level, the villagers' knowledge level is still very much in line with modern people's guesses about this era.

Here, far away from the center of the country, most of the villagers have basically devoted their lives to farming and labor. Except for a few wealthy people and members of the clan, most of them can't even read a few big characters.

Birth, work, raising offspring, old age and death, this is their life. No matter how high-end technology the people at the top have, the people at the bottom will only see the most high-end technical talents in their lifetimes such as carpentry and blacksmithing. .

"According to the investigation conducted by Aaron and me, in the past three years, only Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, has really made a technological leap. It seems that the First Emperor did not intend to decentralize the technology he acquired and reward it to anyone. When there is a natural or man-made disaster, an army composed of ingenuity will be dispatched to provide relief.”

Recalling the "Imperial Army" in the words of some villagers who have seen the world, Sakamoto Ryoma tried to summarize this phenomenon.

"His Majesty the Emperor should be restricting the spread of knowledge to keep the people under his rule in a state that is easy to control and easy to satisfy."

"this……"

Emiya Shirou frowned slightly. The First Emperor's restriction on education made him, a modern man living in the 21st century, feel a little uncomfortable.

"This is a normal thing."

But King Lanling, who was also an ancient member of the Celestial Dynasty, spoke at this time.

"The First Emperor was indeed a being with transcendent vision, but after all, he did not escape the shackles of the long river of time, but was a human being active in this era.

Since he is a living person, his way of thinking and dealing with things will still be affected by the mainstream of the world. For a king like him, the knowledge flowing to his people has always been something that must be strictly controlled. "

As he spoke, King Lanling looked at the children playing at the entrance of the village. The smiles on their faces did not diminish because of their ignorance.

"Under the leadership of the emperor, knowledge is not a necessity for civilians to survive. As long as they know how to farm, even if they don't know the principles, people can still live happily and worry-free as the cogs of the country.

On the contrary, the birth of different ideas often causes people to have redundant ideas, making control more difficult, and it is natural that restrictions will be imposed. The other party was the emperor who committed such atrocities as burning books and humiliating Confucians, wasn't he? "

Prince Lanling withdrew his gaze and looked at Emiya Shirou.

"Boy, I know that you coming from the future will definitely not understand the behavior of the upper class monopolizing knowledge, but this is the status quo of this era, and it is not something you can change. It is better to take care of our own affairs for now."

"……you're right."

Emiya Shirou shook his head after a slight silence and began to prepare for the next action.

According to the prior arrangement, since King Lanling's inability to take off his mask will easily attract people's attention at this time, King Lanling will be on standby outside the village during this period, and he will be familiar with the people in the village. The two Sakamoto Ryoma and Emiya Shirou entered it in disguise to investigate.

When Sakamoto Ryoma was putting on makeup for Emiya Shirou, Miss Aaron, who was standing next to Prince Lanling, couldn't help but look at the former.

"What's wrong?"

Perhaps feeling a little irritated by the stranger's gaze, King Lanling looked back at Aaron's pale red eyes somewhat coldly.

"It's nothing. Miss Aaron just thinks you give me a strange feeling. Are you really a human?"

"Humph, so what if I don't?"

Regarding this issue, Prince Lanling's tone seemed a little irritable.

"Isn't it the same with you? Don't pry into my secrets here. In my opinion, you are clearly non-human and mixed with humans. You are much weirder than me."

"It's really rude. It's only natural for Miss Aaron and Ryoma to mix together. After all, Ryoma can't survive without Miss Aaron. Miss Aaron has to protect him."

Aaron put his hands on his hips and made a "V" sign to King Lanling, then shrugged. She actually didn't care much about things other than Sakamoto Ryoma, and now she just asked casually when she had the chance. One sentence.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it. Anyway, now I just need to know that you are a companion."

With that said, she naturally put aside the conversation with Prince Lanling and jogged a few steps to catch up with Ryoma Sakamoto who was calling her in disguise.

On the contrary, Prince Lanling looked at the other person's retreating back, with some unexplained light flashing in his eyes under the mask. 】

However, this informative conversation between her and Aaron diverted the attention of the audience who were still discussing Da Qin intensely just a second ago.

Today’s fried noodles at Baiyinjia: What? This King of Lanling is not only not a man, he is not even a human being?

Demonic Appearance: 6.

Chaos Evil Gudazi: I feel more and more that the ancient heroic spirits of the Celestial Dynasty are stranger than the last.

Little Eggplant: Well, indeed, it’s hard to refute.

Cancer of the Earth: Speaking of which, why was Ryoma Sakamoto summoned with his wife? Is this one heroic spirit, or two heroic spirits?

Pirate Twins: I guess they are one and the same. Some heroic spirits like us are often summoned because of their deeds and allusions, sharing the spiritual base of the same heroic spirit.

We can't study together: But Ryoma Sakamoto and his wife don't have any famous allusions, right?

Dragon of Restoration: Well, actually you can think of Miss Aaron as my Noble Phantasm.

Dragon of Restoration: Miss Aaron is a super powerful Noble Phantasm! It’s still EX level! V(0-0)V

How can my XX be so cute: using my wife as a treasure? Shocked.jpg

Junk Jun: Is this all okay? What is the judgment of your world’s Noble Phantasm?

Chaos Evil Gudazi: Didn’t Miss A Guo also use her husband as a treasure?

The ancestor of Kabuki: So Zanzaburo is not my husband, but my magic costume!

Almighty Man: Heroic Spirit, it’s amazing.

["A Tian, ​​you want to know what happened to the monster recently?"

Not long after, Emiya Shirou and others, who had successfully sneaked into the village, approached a middle-aged farmer.

In this small village that lacks entertainment and lacks information, any abnormality can easily become a topic of conversation among the villagers after dinner. The farmer in front of him is the most talkative person in the village according to Sakamoto Ryoma's survey. If something happened, you could just ask him.

By the way, Ada is the pseudonym used by Ryoma Sakamoto at this singularity.

After all, in this era, civilians did not have surnames at all, and Sakamoto Ryoma's name was too conspicuous.

When he was thinking about a pseudonym, Sakamoto Ryoma almost subconsciously thought of the name "Ada". Maybe he thought this name was relatively common, maybe?

As expected, when the simple farmer heard that he was here to chat with him, he didn't think much about it and just happily told what he knew.

It turns out that starting about 10 days ago, every night, women in several nearby villages, including here, would be attacked by monsters.

The clothes of the women who were attacked will leave slash marks cut by the sharp blade, but there will be no scars on the skin. What is even more strange is that they cannot be awakened from the coma no matter how they scream, except for retaining Other than breathing, he was basically the same as dead.

Some wealthy people went to famous doctors nearby to help their daughters, but they were all helpless.

Later, some Taoist priests and eminent monks managed to figure out some of the tricks, and said that the three souls and seven souls were taken away by monsters with advanced Taoism.

Having said this, the farmer couldn't help but remind Ryoma Sakamoto not to let his wife Aaron go out casually at night, lest Aaron also suffer disaster.

In response to this, Sakamoto Ryoma just smiled and said haha, casually prevaricated, and left with Emiya Shirou after chatting some more details.

After that, the three people found several people in the village to continue to inquire, and the information they obtained was obviously very different from what the farmer said.

At the same time, they also went to the crime scene and detected through Chaldea's equipment that the magic reaction of the beholder did remain at the scene.

There is no doubt that the true face of the monster this time is the beholder, and as long as he finds it and follows the clues, Emiya Shirou is confident that he can find clues about Tohsaka Sakura. As long as the person he encounters is not the Ensworth family, Emiya Shirou can still Try to get some intel.

The only thing that made a few people feel a little urgent was that an old man with some status in the village told the three people that the village chiefs of several villages had reported the monster attacks to the government and received clear instructions. Reply, it won’t be long before the First Emperor will send someone to investigate the matter.

Although Himiko was able to help Shirou Emiya and others avoid the predictive detection of Kaiji Zero by injecting the power of his prayer into the amulet, it was not a once and for all method.

If the person sent by the First Emperor has similar abilities to Kuaiji Zero, or is Kuaiji Zero himself, once the distance is too close, the other party can still detect something is wrong and find them.

This also means that there will not be much time left for Emiya Shirou.

Therefore, in order to be able to grab the clues as soon as possible. Even though it was a bit risky due to insufficient information, several people decided to wait and see after discussion and personally watch for the beholder to appear at night.

However, since the villages where the beholders appear are not fixed, and there is no more information to summarize any patterns, the few people can only go to three nearby villages and adopt the tactics of casting a wide net.

Among them, Emiya Shirou was in charge of this village.

While waiting, Shirou Emiya realized that he seemed to be being followed.

It's just that the other party's tracking technology was very poor. Not only was he directly discovered by Shirou Emiya, but he also didn't realize that Shirou Emiya had discovered him.

Emiya Shirou just walked around the village and got rid of the other party's entanglement. He even walked around and saw the pursuer's appearance clearly.

It was a kid wearing brown cloth. Judging from his neat appearance, he could be considered a child from a wealthy family. There was no magic reaction on his body.

After confirming that the other party was not a threat, Emiya Shirou was too lazy to hide himself anymore, and instead appeared behind the child, grabbed the other person's back collar and picked him up.

"Hey kid, why do you keep following me?"

The child who was suddenly mentioned showed strong panic at first, but after noticing that the person who caught him was the person he was following, he barely suppressed the fear in his heart and spoke to him in a trembling voice.

"I, I saw a few of you looking for people in the village to ask about the monster, so I wanted to track it down with you..."

"oh?"

This somewhat unexpected answer made Emiya Shirou raise his eyebrows and look at the child carefully with some curiosity.

To be honest, the other party's reaction was very different from that of several villagers he had met.
