My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

With a sudden flash of inspiration, Melusin felt completely relieved.

What a genius I am!

Chapter 35 Aurora's best days are yet to come.

"Great, the bell-ringing ceremony went very smoothly this time."

The next day, as Li Wei and his companions boarded the carriage, surrounded by the Aurora Royal Guard, and headed towards the cathedral where the pilgrimage bells were displayed, Artoria looked at the boy's face and thought to herself.

This won't do. You'll be reluctant to complete the sword-forging ceremony and return to the Star Sea.

But if we think about it another way, could we bring Avi back to the Inner Sea of ​​the Star? After all, I've completed a glorious and great mission, so making a small request shouldn't be a problem, right?

Okay, let's agree on that.

Despite their chaotic thoughts, the convoy arrived at its destination without incident.

Lord Aurora of Salisbury had been waiting for a long time at the church entrance.

"You have arrived, the legendary chosen ones."

After seeing Li Wei and his party get off the carriage, the beautiful chieftain of the Wind Clan stepped forward gracefully, her smile as beautiful as a lotus emerging from a blue wave, or snow melting into spring water. Looking into her eyes was like being bathed in a spring breeze.

However, if you look closely, you can find the problem.

When she looked at Li Wei, her gaze was utterly strange—a mixture of submission, unease, fear, longing, loyalty, anticipation, and a hint of excitement. It was less like meeting a guest and more like a masochist meeting her master.

What few people noticed was that Aurora wasn't wearing her usual light and airy dress today, but instead wore a more formal and dignified gown made of thicker material. She looked like a blooming peony, even more beautiful and elegant.

Even if someone notices it, they'll just think it's because she values ​​today's event and is dressed more formally.

Li Wei and Mei Luxin knew very well that she did this for only one reason—to cover up the marks on her body.

This mark wasn't a wound. As someone with Aurora's amazing recovery ability, the superficial injury disappeared without a trace in just one night. What was truly covered were words written on her body that resembled [beep], [beep], and [beep beep beep beep], as well as dozens of restrictive magic spells that were engraved on her body, rendering her completely unable to put up any effective resistance.

Before leaving, he shared leadership of the magic with Lancelot. In other words, he and Melosin can now order Aurora to do anything at will.

Thinking of this, the boy looked at the fairy knight Lancelot, and their eyes met, conveying their message silently.

Li Wei: "What time did you go to bed last night?"

Melissa: "What do you mean by rest?"

Li Wei: "Then let me ask you a different question. What time did Aurora go to sleep yesterday?"

Melusin: "What do you mean by sleeping?"

Li Wei: That's enough, don't ruin them!

Meiluxin: "What do you mean by 'ruined'?"

Li Wei: "..."

It's clear that after Melusin regained control, she poured all her love into Aurora. All we can say is wish her well.

Meanwhile, the crowd, unaware of what had happened, surrounded Aurora and Artoria like stars around the moon, as they walked deeper into the church.

It is said that this church was built to commemorate the former savior. However, as time has passed, so many years have gone by that the fairies no longer remember the past favors.

Aurora herself only maintains the church regularly because she has the task of guarding the pilgrimage bell and because the church is quite beautiful. Otherwise, it would probably be in a dilapidated state long ago, or even in the possibility of collapsing.

Upon reaching the rooftop, what appeared before everyone was none other than the Salisbury Pilgrimage Bell.

The design was exactly the same as Norwich's. When Artoria appeared in front of it, the bell automatically displayed mysterious magic patterns, as if it sensed her arrival.

"This is the second one."

With this thought in mind, Castor once again raised the Staff of Choice high and began to chant a sacred hymn.

As the sound of the bells spread in all directions, the task of ringing the second pilgrimage bell was declared complete.

After this incident, Artoria's magical power became even stronger, and she seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.

If she continues at this pace, after ringing all six bells, she will fully possess the abilities of a savior.

"Thank you so much for your help." After doing all this, Artoria politely bowed to Aurora to express her gratitude.

"It's alright, it's what I should do." Aurora's expression was a little strange: "So what are your plans next?"

“We’re going to Gloucester to ring the next bell,” Castor said frankly. “Queen Morgan’s men may be here soon, so we need to leave immediately.”

"Really? That's wonderful... I mean, it's too rushed, are you sure you don't want to stay a little longer?"

Judging from her words, the city lord seemed very reluctant to part, but the clear-headed joy of surviving a disaster in the depths of her eyes betrayed her.

Great, that demon is finally leaving. I no longer need to experience that torture from the bottom up to my chest and from the top down to my abdomen, as if Vlad III were subjecting me to piercing.

Not to mention the feeling of being pierced in the abdomen by a spear of death thorns, lifted up, with your feet not touching the ground, feeling like you've become nothing more than a plug for the other party.

It's over, it's finally coming to an end.

Meiluxin still likes me. Given enough time, I'm sure I can win her back.

"It's alright." Just as she was feeling relieved, the devil's voice came from behind her:

"Anyway, it's not far away, and we'll come to visit often in the future."

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, Aurora could no longer restrain herself. She reacted like Pavlov's dog, almost kneeling on the ground and letting the boy whip her.

If Melusin hadn't been there supporting her with her hands, she definitely would have done that.

"Really? That's wonderful." As she said this, tears streamed down Aurora's face.

"Um, Lord of the City, don't you like us coming back as guests?" Sensing that something seemed amiss, the fairy eye told her that something was wrong, and Artoria asked with some concern.

"How could this be? I've been looking forward to it so much!" Aurora's tears streamed down her face.

"Really? Then why are you crying?" The previous sentence was just a question, but this one from the fairy eye was already telling Castor that Aurora was lying.

"Overjoyed to tears!" Aurora continued, sobbing as she answered.

"Oh..." Fairy Eyes frantically called the police; this guy was lying through his teeth.

Anyway, we'll be seeing each other often in the future, so let's get along well!

With a look, he gestured for Artoria to step aside, then walked up to Aurora, reached out to support her, and said this, word by word.

"Yes!" Aurora's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

PS: This gacha pool is so lucrative. 1300 gems and 60 summoning tickets, and I got two copies of Mash and one Odysseus that I pulled by mistake. I guess I've paid off my debt to Ereshkigal.

Chapter 36 It is said that dragons are inherently…

So, after Lord Aurora and Li Wei bid each other farewell three times, the trio of saviors embarked on their journey once again.

This greatly surprised the maids and guards of Salisbury.

This was the first time they had ever seen Lady Aurora value others so much; even the great and beautiful fairy knight, Lancelot, had not received such treatment.

Judging from the way they bid each other a reluctant farewell, Lady Aurora was practically clinging to the handsome young man, as if she would collapse to the ground without his support. The depth of their friendship was evident.

Especially when the young man took her hand and said he would come often in the future, she was so moved that she cried her eyes out, which touched everyone present.

It would be best to show more respect to Lord Li Wei next time I see him.

“I never noticed before, Avi, that you seem to have a closer relationship with them than usual?” Sitting in the carriage, the Savior didn’t seem very happy and was whispering to the coachman, Levi.

Since they were good friends, Aurora couldn't bear to see the group suffer from the wind and sun on their journey, so she specially gave Levi a magic carriage, hoping that he would leave as soon as possible.

This carriage is powered by four remarkably intelligent horse-like magical beasts, traversing mountains and ravines with ease. The carriage itself is enhanced by special magic, with the wheels not touching the ground but gliding along it, ensuring that bumps in the road do not affect the riding experience.

The interior of the carriage was even more luxurious, comparable to Morgan Queen's car. It was fully furnished with beds, dining tables, and furniture, as well as a large amount of food and supplies, enough to meet the needs of the three people for a month.

"Really? I simply treated her with the attitude of a gentleman, and won her favor by relying on my virtuous conduct of punishing evil and promoting good and my thorough methods of eliminating evil."

"..."

Although the fairy eye proved that Li Wei was telling the truth, Artoria still stared at the boy for a long time, feeling that something was suspicious, but she couldn't bring herself to say it and eventually had to give up.

"Has Artoria been to Gloucester before?" Not wanting to dwell on this topic any longer, Levi chose to change the subject.

It's a good thing to fight crime and maintain order, but the methods and specific actions have reached a level that would be perfectly fitting into the novel "The Blood of the Crimson Beauty." It's best not to let the child know about it.

“I’ve never been there. I’ve lived in the village since I was born, and I only have one friend, Hector.” Caster shook his head. “I heard it’s a very developed city, no less developed than Norwich.”

"I've been there!" Gareth volunteered, raising his hand as if to make himself stand out.

"There are the most bustling commercial streets there, selling all kinds of fashionable clothes, as well as auction houses and balls. The fairies there are very peaceful, without any conflict; it's a very, very good place."

"Really? I hope everything goes well for us."

Li Wei patted the dog-girl's head as a reward and said this.

……

At night, because they were still some distance from Gloucester and there were no villages in the vicinity, the group found a clearing in the woods to rest.

The reins and lasso of the horse-shaped monster were removed, and it was currently eating roasted meat. The girls were resting inside the carriage, leaving only Li Wei outside to set up a tent and keep watch.

Gareth volunteered to help, but Levi forcibly dragged him back like a puppy: "Underage kids should rest."

"Won't Avi come in and rest with us?" Artoria offered a seemingly tempting invitation.

"No need," the boy refused outright.

My mental defenses are currently unstable. If I really lose control of myself, it could lead to death—in every sense of the word.

Now that I've calmed down and thought about what Aurora did, I'm still a little surprised. Was this really her true nature?

Go back and visit them more often when you have time, and it would be good to let your emotions flow.

After all, a savior of villains once said that chefs have their talents, and kings have theirs. Similarly, Aurora's talent as a toilet is truly exceptional.

People always need to go to the toilet.

After calming the horse-shaped monster down after it had eaten and drunk its fill, the boy wrapped himself in a blanket, leaned against a tree, and closed his eyes to rest.

Then, about ten minutes later, a strange sound suddenly came from beside me, followed by something crawling into my blanket.

The boy, realizing something was wrong, opened his eyes and abruptly threw off the blanket, only to find the petite female knight Lancelot hugging him and licking him incessantly.

"Melissa? What are you doing here instead of staying in Salisbury?"

“No problem, we are the fastest knights in all of Britain. If anything goes wrong, we can get back immediately.”

Under the moonlight, the girl, whose true form was a dragon, exuded a strong fighting spirit: "Don't worry, I won't take up much of your time. We'll leave once we're satisfied."

What do you mean? You'll be able to resolve this soon? Don't underestimate me, Melusin.

Even if you are a dragon, don't you know that there are also dragon-slaying heroes among humans?

Li Wei was furious.

……

inside the carriage.

"How strange, is there some noise outside?" Gareth, the dog girl, has exceptionally sensitive hearing. Years of living as a stray have instilled in her an extremely vigilant instinct.

She had originally intended to wake Artoria, but seeing that she was sleeping very soundly and muttering things like "Don't do this, Avi" and "That's the baby's room," as if she were having a sweet dream, she felt embarrassed to wake Castor.

What if it's just my imagination?

Quietly, Gareth climbed to the window of the carriage, lifted the curtain and peeked out. He was surprised to find Levi still sitting by the fire, resting with a blanket wrapped around him.

As if by telepathy, the boy who had been resting with his eyes closed opened them and met the eyes of the dog girl.

"Why don't you rest?"

"Um, I think I just heard some strange noise..." Seeing the boy's nonchalant attitude, the girl was a little unsure of herself.

"Really? You must have misheard." Li Wei replied softly, "I've been outside the whole time, I didn't see anything."

"Oh……"

"Get some rest, we still have a long journey ahead of us tomorrow."

"Okay!" Gareth pulled his head back, looking much more relieved.

I was just being too suspicious. With Li Wei outside, how could anything go wrong?

However, her observation skills are clearly still lacking.

If the girl were to take a closer look, she would quickly notice that Li Wei's blanket seemed to be a bit bulging.

It's almost like hiding a petite female knight who is 147 cm tall and weighs 20 kg.
