"Hmm, isn't it incredible? The savior looks like this." The girl who called herself Caster chuckled self-deprecatingly. "So far, apart from Hector, no one believes it..."
“I believe you,” Li Wei nodded, answering her without hesitation.
"Huh? Aren't you going to have any doubts?" The other person was clearly at a loss.
"I have no doubt, because you are Artoria, and I believe in you." The boy's answer was resolute.
He has been in this world for almost a month now, and in his spare time he has been reading various books, which has given him a general understanding of this world.
This place is quite similar to the British Kingdom that Professor Kirisu Mafuyu talked about in class before I transmigrated. Queen Morgan's name comes from King Arthur's sister, and the three knights under her command are all members of the Knights of the Round Table.
If I remember correctly, Vivian is the legendary Lady of the Lake. In short, everything can be inferred from the history of the real world.
Similarly, the world is also filled with legends of saviors.
If this child is indeed named Artoria, then she corresponds to the legendary King Arthur, and who else but her would be the savior?
But if this is true, then what about the "Guinevere" in textbooks who looks almost identical to her? Could it be that King Arthur was really a girl, and the archaeologists made a mistake?
Unaware of what Li Wei was thinking, the girl, who shared the same name as King Arthur, only felt her facial blood circulation accelerate and her temperature rise rapidly.
"What's going on? This guy is actually telling the truth..." The girl looked at the handsome young man, inexplicably afraid to look up.
The boy sitting opposite her was unaware that the girl's feelings were always poetic; his thoughts had drifted off to another corner.
Since there's the Lady of the Lake, King Arthur and Morgan, and the Knights of the Round Table, where is Guinevere, the one who caused the infighting among the Knights of the Round Table? She can't possibly be showing up, can she?
……
Meanwhile, in the garden pavilion of Queen Norwich Palace, Queen Morgan of the Fairy Kingdom was handling state affairs.
The maids and attendants around him could clearly sense that their king seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood lately.
Last time, someone accidentally broke her beloved glass goblet in front of her. Normally, the person would have been sent to Bawanshi for punishment. The maid was terrified, but His Majesty just glanced at it and seemed completely unconcerned.
Or rather, her mind was no longer on those inanimate objects.
"Mother, you haven't been playing with me much lately!"
Tristan, the most beloved of the three knights, was rolling around on the large bed, utterly bored.
"Hmph, I've been a bit busy lately, so I've neglected you a little." Her Majesty looked at her daughter with eyes full of affection: "But it's alright, it won't be long before we have another person to play with you."
"Eh? Mother, are you going to appoint a new fairy knight again?" Bawanshi was very surprised.
The title of Fairy Knight is very difficult to obtain. To date, there are only three people with this title, and the rest are considered miscellaneous.
"You'll find out then." Morgan's mood mirrored the smile on her lips.
……
"So, to save the world, we need to travel between cities and ring the pilgrimage bells, is that right?"
Inside the restaurant, the girl from Tintajer seemed to have finally found someone to confide in, and she laid out her mission in its entirety.
“Actually, it doesn’t matter whether I save you or not.” Castor showed a nonchalant expression: “Isn’t the world pretty good now? I see everyone is quite happy. Let it be.”
"Then why did you embark on this journey?" Li Wei countered.
"I……"
When he asked that question, Artoria was suddenly stunned, as if she had never thought about it before.
Yes, if that's the case, why did I even come to Norwich? Wouldn't it be better to just find some deserted place and live out my life there?
"It's because you still have hope in your heart, right?"
"I……"
Li Wei ignored her hesitant expression and said to her seriously, "Of course, it's not your fault. It's irresponsible of a savior to throw the responsibility of saving the world onto a sixteen-year-old girl."
You can think carefully about whether you want to continue fulfilling your savior's duty. If you really don't want to continue, then I have some connections in this area and can help you find a good position. Of course, you can take your time to consider it.”
Li Wei had previously wondered if returning to the real world involved saving it. But when he actually saw the so-called savior, he changed his mind.
Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you. No one can force a savior to save the world. The boy decided that if Artoria chose to give up, he would give it a try; there was no loss if he failed.
"Hmm..." Realizing that everything Li Wei said was true, the girl from Tintajel smiled brightly for the first time.
This child is so cute.
……
In the Royal Garden, Her Majesty the Queen looked at the edict in her hand and fell into deep thought.
Li Wei is a nice name, but it doesn't sound very British, and each of the fairy knights has a corresponding counterpart.
So, what title should be given to him?
Morgan rested her hand on her cheek, lost in thought.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, the white-haired queen's eyes lit up.
……
"Okay, it's time for us to go."
Looking at the time, we realized we had been eating for over an hour, and it was quite a feast.
The boy paid for the meal and told Castor to get ready to leave.
Just then, the clanging of armor and the sound of horses' hooves echoed through the street. Immediately afterward, the restaurant door opened, and Gawain, the fairy knight and patriarch of the Fang Clan, who had fought alongside him, burst in, bumping right into Levi.
"I've finally found you! You've been on my lookout for ages!" Bagst said, sounding like he was complaining, but there was no anger in his voice at all.
"What happened?"
"Because of your outstanding performance, Her Majesty the Queen has decided to bestow upon you a title." With that, the fairy knight Gawain took out a letter of appointment from his chest, still fragrant and warm from his body, and handed it to the boy: "From now on, your title will be Guinevere! We are now colleagues."
Guinevere... the name sounds more and more familiar?
“Guinevere is rarely used as a male name,” Caster interjected. “If it’s a female, she’s usually called Guinevere!”
"..."
Li Wei's expression suddenly became very interesting.
Chapter 16 Three days after the winter solstice, Jesus was born in Zhumadian.
Why, why is my title Guinevere?
Although it was fortunate that she could freely give away the Grand Knight Medal that had been bestowed upon her without being held accountable, and then being granted a title was wonderful and pleasant, other fairies would have already kowtowed to thank the emperor for his grace and wished they could die to repay the king.
But why Guinevere?!
If he could, he would want the title of Bedivere, Galahad would be good too, or even Lanmarok would be fine—at least he'd be strong in combat. He'd even accept Mordred, since Mordred is undoubtedly a man.
I'll say it again: why Guinevere?! Isn't she a queen? And a knight? Does she want to be queen herself?!
"Um, Mr. Guinevere, are you alright?"
Seeing the boy's uncertain expression, the fairy knight Gawain asked with some concern.
Previously, Li Wei always seemed unfazed even when Mount Tai collapsed before him. Why did he suddenly react so strongly to receiving an honor? Could it be that the sudden rise from a humble peasant to the emperor's court was too much of a shock for him?
That's right. Although Livius is a very nice and stylish name, he doesn't have any other prefixes and comes from a gladiator background, which means he wasn't of noble birth.
We can communicate more in the future, and I'll invite him to Manchester to show him hospitality.
"If possible, please don't call me Guinevere, just call me Levi." As a result, Levi seemed particularly resistant to this title.
"Hey, I think this name is pretty good."
After looking the letter of appointment over, Caster patiently explained, "Guinevere is a combination of pure white (gwen) and true loyalty (vera), meaning 'pure truth' or 'loyal white.' I think it sounds quite nice."
Of course you think it sounds nice, after all, it's your wife's name.
Moreover, from a certain perspective, could this name also be translated as a loyal gigolo?
At least at this moment, Li Wei somewhat understood how Confucius felt when he was forced to cry out "Heaven hates him" after meeting Nanzi.
“In my hometown, it’s polite to address someone by their title, but calling them by their given name is a sign of intimacy.” The boy made up a reason on the spot: “Using someone’s official title or title all the time is considered very distant. Only people who are not close to each other do that. Don’t I always call you Bagst?”
"I see." Whether others believed it or not, Bagst and Castor did.
"Also, may I appeal to His Majesty Morgan to change my title?" Li Wei tried to salvage the situation.
“It’s best not to do that. Her Majesty must have had a deeper meaning in giving you this title.” Bagst shook his head. “Besides, Her Majesty has never revoked an order before. Even if you two have a good relationship, it won’t work.”
"We should at least get married first," Baggezi thought to herself.
After doing all this, the fairy knight Gawain completed her mission, invited Levi and Castor to come visit her residence sometime, and then prepared to set off to report back. Levi was also surprised to find that she and Castor were actually quite familiar with each other.
It was at this moment that the boy remembered something and called out to her.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing," Li Wei asked anxiously, "I still haven't seen the Fairy Knight Lancelot. Isn't she here?"
“Lord Lancelot is stationed in Shrewsbury, a major city in the north, serving Lady Aurora. He’s quite far from here.” Bagst looked at the boy curiously. “Would you like to meet her? I can introduce you.”
"No need, it's fine as it is."
The farther away the better, it's best to avoid meeting. The names Guinevere and Lancelot together are bound to cause trouble.
Artoria, why are you smiling like that? Don't think you're safe just because Mordred isn't here.
After confirming that Levi had no intention of befriending the fairy knight Lancelot, Bagst turned and left.
……
"You can stay here for now, it's just a bit basic."
Back in his own place, Levi casually chose a bedroom that was neither too big nor too small and indicated that Castor should stay there.
I've already spoken to Spriggan; someone will be delivering supplies and food shortly.
However, the guy's gaze was very complicated, as if to say, "So you like this type of country girl," which was extremely rude. Considering that a gentleman's virtues are often not understood by the masses, the young man felt relieved.
Highbrow art has few admirers, while popular art has many.
"No, no, this is the best place I've ever stayed in, at least better than the stables." Artoria looked completely satisfied.
What kind of life did the savior go through before that he had to live in a stable? Don't these fairies know how to cherish things?
Moreover, the stable is truly a magical place. Legend has it that Jesus was born in a stable, making it as mysterious as a librarian in China, a place that produces saviors.
The neighboring Celestial Empire even wrote a play about it, and how it was sung... Oh right: "Three whole days after the winter solstice, Jesus was born in Zhumadian. Three immortals brought a box of apples, as well as five catties of meat and ten catties of noodles."
"You'll get sick if you stay there all the time."
"It's alright, you get used to it after a while, but last year, because of the cold weather, I lost two of my toes." The blonde country girl gave a "heh heh" look, and what she said was indeed particularly horrifying.
Then, Li Wei pushed her down onto the sofa, took off her shoes, and carefully examined her.
Fortunately, fairies have physical strength and recovery ability far exceeding that of humans. Castor's ten delicate toes were intact, and the pale blue veins on the insteps of his almost transparent white feet were clearly visible.
At this point, the boy breathed a sigh of relief.
"This won't happen again." Li Wei helped her put on her socks again, picked up her shoes, tied her shoelaces, and said this solemnly.
Throughout the entire process, Artoria simply watched, a smile on her face that seemed to reveal something she wasn't thinking.
Then, he led Caster on a tour of the rooms, introducing them and the surrounding facilities, as well as how to summon the maids. After showing her around, Levi glanced at the clock; it was almost dusk, and time to meet up with Vivian was approaching.
"Hey, aren't you eating here? My cooking skills are pretty good." The girl from Tintager looked very confident.
"No need, I have other things to do and may not be back until very late." With that, Li Wei handed over the spare key to the house: "Someone will come to deliver food and supplies to you in a while, so you can go to sleep first."
"Ok!"
Artoria looked at him very seriously and carefully, and solemnly promised the boy, "I will wait for you to come back."
She gripped the key tightly, as if it were some precious treasure.
Chapter 17 Clothes Make the Man, Saddle Makes the Horse; Look at His Appearance and His Clothing (Bonus Chapter)
That evening, it was the familiar library, and the familiar literary girl Vivian.
The boy seemed to have finally found someone to confide in, and he told her everything about being bestowed a title by Queen Morgan that day. He even tried to get Vivian to help him change the title, saying that if that didn't work, he didn't need the title at all.
If it were just a title of otherworldly female knight, that would be fine; he's not inflexible. But Guinevere and the like are just unacceptable.
I would never cheat on Lancelot, the fairy knight, and I would never become queen, you bastard!
"Mmm, don't be angry, Lord Guinevere..."
