It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 57: We must strike hard!

As Fujimaru Ritsuka tells the story, the experiences of the Chaldean group after entering the British fairy kingdom gradually become clear.

It's the kind that sounds particularly tragic.

It can be said that their journey was almost entirely immersed in the state of escape and preparation for escape.

As soon as they set foot on this strange land, while they were still in the initial stage of exploring the surrounding environment, the local sheriff quickly heard the news and came. Not only did their whereabouts get exposed immediately, but they were also absurdly charged with the crime of "absorbing air and magic without permission".

It sounds like it violates the law...

But the law this violates is simply inexplicable.

Faced with the extremely dangerous Lostbelt whose details are already unclear, the people of Chaldea are absolutely unwilling to be imprisoned just after arriving here, and wait for the unilateral decision of the forces in the Lostbelt. That would undoubtedly be tantamount to giving up resistance and waiting to be killed.

therefore.

The Chaldeans would never leave their fate to the other side, but decisively chose to fight, and then embarked on a road of no return.

Their behavior of resisting arrest and opposing law enforcement also means that they have officially become "wanted criminals", and from then on they began a life of displacement and escape. In this fairy country with strict order, it is simply impossible to move forward and every step is difficult.

——Because there is no right to cast spells, in the Queen's territory, all magic and mysteries that are not allowed are greatly suppressed. Even this is not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is that any tiny unrecorded fluctuation of magic power may trigger an alarm...

——Because of the crime they were accused of, they were regarded as uninvited invaders in the Queen's territory. It was as if the Lostbelt itself activated its defense mechanism, and the blackened servants named "Dark Spirit" were constantly summoned, vowing to completely wipe out these unauthorized intruders...

——Because they have no official identity, they are illegal residents in the Queen’s territory no matter where they flee to. They have no tax records, and the land will retaliate by collecting magic taxes from them. This is no longer half of the tax borne by the fairies, but a level that is enough to squeeze their vitality...

That period of time was as difficult as suffocating for them, and they could hardly find a moment to breathe.

And because of them, many kind-hearted fairies were implicated.

Once those goblins who are already struggling to survive under tyranny are found to have helped them, they will immediately be charged with serious crimes such as "treason" and "rebellion" without a lengthy trial, and then suffer all kinds of inhumane punishments.

Punishments include but are not limited to beheading, quartering, feeding with moses, drinking poisoned wine... and so on.

Among them, bestowing poisoned wine was the highest standard, and no one knew why.

All in all, it was when the people of Chaldea watched the fairies being persecuted amid the pungent smell of blood that they gained a deeper understanding of the cruelty of this Lostbelt.

They had gone through the most difficult and unbearable days in the early stage, until the dawn of hope appeared.

The fairy lord Aurora extended a helping hand to them, provided them with shelter, and expressed her willingness to form an alliance.

I thought that the hard work would finally pay off and a turn for the better would come, but unexpectedly, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Even before the alliance was formed for a day, the beautiful, kind and gentle fairy lord actually followed in the footsteps of the previous fairies.

This sudden and huge reversal was like a bolt from the blue, and it directly hit the Chaldean group head-on.

It's okay for ordinary fairies...

Those lords who were in high positions actually killed people without any hesitation...

Moreover, the power displayed by the fairy knight Lancelot made them tremble. Although they had never met him, it was said that the clan leaders who followed Aurora in the rebellion at that time were extremely powerful upper-level fairies.
It was like a wheat field being cut down by a sickle.

As a result, the city that seemed to be impregnable, where the lord loved his people and the people supported the lord, and everyone was united, collapsed in an instant, and was unable to organize any effective resistance...

If it weren't for a sudden and unpredictable disaster, the Chaldeans might not have been able to escape from the fallen city.

It was also in the chaos that Fujimaru Ritsuka unfortunately got separated from her companions. At the critical moment when she failed to evacuate in time, she was shocked to find that some strange attack fell from the sky and enveloped the disaster scene——

At the same time, she was also involved.

This is why the Chaldean Master appears here.

Perhaps it was because he had been suppressed too much during this period of time and could not see any hope at all. So Fujimaru Ritsuka now felt that he had finally seen the light of day, and believed that this was the country of the end that contained hope to fight against the terrorist rule of Queen Morgan, and subconsciously wanted to get help from here...

Out of her instinctive dependence on her savior, the atmosphere deliberately created around her, and the subtle guidance of someone, she couldn't help but start to pour out her heart.

Until late at night, sleepiness came like a tide, her consciousness gradually blurred, and the warm light of the campfire shone on her body. She fell asleep quietly in this peace without realizing it.

And when this unilateral, ignorant trial ended——

"Very good, she has basically explained everything she can..."

Xia Zhi stood up and walked to the girl, gently helped her lie down, and considerately tucked the blanket in for her. After checking and confirming that she was really asleep, he turned around and gave his conclusion in a calm tone.

And almost at the moment his voice fell.

The people around him stopped pretending to sleep and sat up one after another.

"...Will Britain of the future become like that?"

The first to break the silence was Altria. The face of the legendary King Arthur was filled with shock and astonishment. Then she cast her eyes on the blonde girl who looked exactly like her, and her clenched fists revealed her inner anger:
"Is this the future you want, Morgan?"

Just from the few words that Fujimaru Ritsuka said just now, she seemed to smell the strong smell of blood. It was unbelievable and unacceptable, so much so that she couldn't even care about the matter of the "king's husband" that she had paid special attention to before.

Listen to what that is all about—

Iron fist, hegemony, harsh rule, capital punishment, persecution...

Even if they only touched the surface, these words were enough to send chills down one's spine. Altria could almost foresee what kind of deep and dark era Britain would fall into under Morgan's control.

Of course, she herself was once considered a cold-blooded and heartless king.

But that's only because a king cannot rule the country in a merciful and indecisive mood.

That is why she never showed any emotion when she sat on the throne, but simply exercised her ability to govern the country, handled affairs without deviation, and punished enemies without partiality, like a scale accurate to several decimal places, calculating the balance of gains and losses.

However, Morgan's extreme ruling style is more like tyranny for the sake of tyranny and persecution for the sake of persecution...

——What on earth is this witch thinking?!
"That's right. What's wrong with that?" Vivian was originally thinking about something. When she heard such a question, she responded directly in a cold tone.

Her original personality was actually the type that was strict when it was necessary, and gentle when it was necessary to reassure everyone. However, Altria was clearly an exception, and obviously did not enjoy this flexible treatment.

"You...you--!!" Altria clenched her teeth, unable to calm down the anger in her heart.

She actually asked herself what was wrong. Doesn’t she have any self-awareness at all?
"I know what stupid things you want to say, but I urge you to stop talking about them. I know what I'm doing and what I want to do." Vivian looked away calmly, not even meeting her gaze. Her words revealed a calm and almost indifferent certainty.

But it is this attitude, as if one is simply disdainful of arguing with the other party, that is the most irritating.

In an instant.

Altria felt a surge of anger rushing to her head, and veins appeared on her smooth forehead.

"Ahem, don't get excited..."

Xia Zhi coughed lightly at the right time, trying to ease the tense atmosphere and comfort the angry little lion: "And Saber, calm down too. You have just been summoned here not long ago, and you may not understand the situation in this world yet."

He explained: "To maintain the rule over the fairy kingdom, some tough measures are actually indispensable... The fairies in this world are actually very scary. If you are not ruthless enough, you will not be able to suppress them. Once you lose your deterrent power, rebellion will ensue."

"But, isn't the problem that they choose to rebel because they have been exploited to this extent?" Altria took a deep breath and asked in a low voice.

"If you say so..." Xia Zhi thought about it seriously, and then shook his head as if he disagreed: "I think that even though they have been exploited to this extent, they still have the strength to rebel. This is a problem. We must strike hard!"

Altria: “?”
