God knows what happened to him. Since last night, his scalp has been itching incessantly, making it hard for him to sleep. He changed rooms several times, but it didn't help. He finally managed to take a short break (to fix the wiring and connect the ring), and thought it was over. Who would have thought that something even more intense and bizarre would follow?

It felt like being hit hard from the beginning, and the blows continued until the whole body was completely battered before it ended!

Ouch! It hurts so much!

That beating left the nobleman lying on the ground groaning, completely unable to move.

The surrounding knights were dumbfounded. There was no one around, so how could it be flying around in the air like that? This castle must be unclean!

However, the knight eventually left with the nobleman to find a doctor for treatment.

Along the way, the knights did not notice any changes in their noble leader, such as him choking and unable to breathe, frantically pupa-like movements that were confined to his body, and his inability to open his mouth properly when he wanted to laugh.

That's right, these were all experiments conducted by Meryl later.

Only she and the nobles know exactly what Merry did afterward. No, even the nobles might not know, because he managed to sneak in many times during this process, which likely triggered his body's defense mechanisms.

But it's okay, daytime will eventually come, and there won't be so many troubles during the day.

However, it would strike again at night, with all sorts of strange experiences occurring one after another, as if it didn't want the nobles to rest at night at all.

These days, the nobleman has sought out magicians and even sent himself to his ancestral safe house, but nothing has worked.

It was impossible to stop, absolutely impossible to stop the encounters at night. However, there was good news: the nobleman was not the only one experiencing this; many others were also beginning to suffer, which put the nobleman at ease.

A few days later, the nobles received news that the King of Britain's army had arrived again, this time with many knights.

"Gao Wenqing, how have you been lately? Has anything happened since then?"

The light brown-haired knight, always smiling, is cheerful and straightforward. He carries an extremely rare and precious holy sword at his waist. He is none other than the knight Gawain.

When asked by his friend and somewhat superior, Shirou Emiya, Gawain scratched his head and said, "A lot has happened, but it's the same old stuff, like the parades."

The city that the king currently owns is mainly managed by Hector, in addition to the formidable Lancelot and Gawain, who can fight Lancelot to a standstill. Under these circumstances, it is possible for a protest to occur.

"We are already working on a solution to this problem, and we may see some progress soon."

Upon hearing Shirou Emiya's words, Gawain's eyes lit up: "That's really great, Lancelot must be having a lot of trouble."

"Hahaha, I'm quite curious what that guy looks like," Emiya Shirou laughed in response. Gawain, remembering something, leaned closer.

"Lord Emiya Shirou, why are you asking me to bring so many people this time? Is there something you need to do?"

Emiya Shirou's smile faded as he looked at the castle not far away, then at the calm, elegant yet still furious king.

"Yes, something is bound to happen this time."

Volume 1: Chapter 27. Artoria is very strange (4k)

"Great King, it has been a long time, please forgive me for not being able to perform the proper greeting."

The nobleman, his body wrapped in bandages, sat in a chair, looking pitiful.

"It's alright, I forgive you."

After giving a brief reply, Artoria took out a piece of paper and handed it to Gawain next to her. She then pointed at Shirou Emiya and whispered something that the nobleman could not hear.

Emiya Shirou took the paper, nodded, and walked towards the nobleman.

With each step he took closer to the nobleman, his expression darkened, and his eyes grew increasingly anxious. He knew in his heart that getting close to this nobleman meant no good. He desperately wanted to escape, but there was no way to escape.

The king was nearby, and the other knights were right there. He couldn't escape in his current state!

"From now on, we will take over the management of this city from you and make the corresponding plans and implement them. You should have no objections, right?"

Emiya Shirou directly showed the paper, the contents of which were written clearly, and the nobleman almost fainted when he saw it.

The document stated that he, as the lord of this city, would approve the plan, and even recommended that other nobles do the same. It was just waiting for him to sign it to take effect.

"This... Lord Shirou Emiya..." Nobles are trying to save their own lives; if this piece of paper gets out, it will cause a huge problem.

"Okay, then sign it."

Emiya Shirou seemed not to hear what the other person said. He grabbed the other person's finger and slashed it. Blood gushed out instantly. He pressed the finger mark with the blood and that wasn't the end of it.

In the nobleman's despairing gaze, the other man grabbed the family medallion from his chest, stained with blood, and pressed it down.

"Oh, I was too rough. Sorry, sorry. Let me bandage it for you."

After finishing everything, Shirou Emiya looked at his bleeding finger, patted his head, and then took a coil of thread from the knight next to him—a special thread with magical fluctuations that the knight had brought earlier.

"Oh, this is great stuff, it's really useful for bandaging."

Emiya Shirou watched in surprise, then pulled out a ten-centimeter needle from somewhere and began to sew.

The nobleman was speechless. He already knew why the other party was unhappy—it was the butler!

At this moment, he finally understood why the damned butler hadn't died, and even returned alive to find his family gone and then came after him to fight him. It turned out that Wang and his group had saved him.

Everything makes sense. Why didn't the king smile at him? Why couldn't he find Lord Merlin to help him? It turns out the answer lies here.

"Hahaha! Hahahaha! Is that so? Is that so!!!"

The nobleman laughed, a madman's laugh. He had already seen his own end, and the end of his family.

The person Wang saved was killed by him, and the truth was discovered.

Hahaha! It's all over!

"He's gone mad, he's lost his mind."

Just as the surrounding knights and servants were urgently checking on him, Merlin stepped out, stared at the nobleman who had begun to drool, and made his conclusion.

"There is no hope, just wait to die."

Mary shook her head repeatedly. This unlucky girl, she still had so many things to experiment with, how could she have gone crazy?

Oh dear, one of the toys is missing. What a pity!

"This..." The knights and servants who were originally guarding the nobles looked at each other in bewilderment. What the hell? Has the boss gone mad?

What happens next? Who will pay the salaries?

They can't possibly keep serving this madman; they're knights, they don't have that skill.

"Crazy?" Shirou Emiya muttered, holding up the paper to the other knights without changing his expression.

"From this moment forward, this city shall be directly governed by the Great King! The former lord has already affixed his badge and fingerprint!"

Everyone exchanged bewildered glances. As those who had been standing by the sidelines, they knew exactly what had happened. Wasn't it this red-haired guy who had forcefully taken action?!

But they saw many knights who had already mounted their horses not far away. The light brown knights had already gripped their sword hilts, and their unstoppable power could be felt from a great distance.

"Pfft!"

The first knight knelt, followed by a steady stream of knights and servants, all facing the blond king and declaring their loyalty.

The nobles laughing wildly, the subordinates kneeling and pledging their loyalty, the gazes watching from the castle in the distance—this city has a new master.

The next step is to disperse these people and assign them to other teams, such as Lancelot's team and the other knight squad leaders.

Later, when Shirou Emiya led the raid on the house, the contract clearly stated that 95% of the treasure would be dedicated to the king and the country as a contribution.

"These are all contributions made by our noble predecessors for the country; we can't let them down!"

Facing the noble family members and concubines, Shirou Emiya spoke with tears in his eyes.

Then he regretted it. Damn it, after seizing 95% of the supplies, the remaining resources were more than enough for these guys to live for three lifetimes without any pressure!

Damn it, I miscalculated. I underestimated the wealth that had been amassed by generations of nobles.

Emiya Shirou was filled with regret, thinking to himself that he must do more next time.

On the other side, Artoria fell silent upon seeing the thick notebook. "Wait, is this nobleman more valuable than her, the queen?"

Why? !

Artoria, who didn't know how to operate, naturally couldn't figure out the reason, but she knew that there were other ways to obtain money.

After dealing with the nobles' profits, the next step was to implement the plan. After conducting an on-site investigation, Shirou Emiya concluded that this wilderness was suitable for raising camels and planting new vegetation, and that the profits would not be too bad once it was developed on a large scale.

The implementation process mainly involves Shirou Emiya taking Gawain around. He won't be staying for long, and Gawain will mainly be stationed here for a period of time. It would be best if Gawain could keep an eye on things and understand some of the basics.

They found the imprisoned people in a corner, comforted them, and put them aside for the time being. Two days later, Old York arrived, saw the envelope left by Emiya Shirou, found these people, and told them that they belonged to the logistics unit and would not go hungry in the future.

Time flew by, and when the news spread that the nobleman had contributed 95%, many nobles fell silent, and even the parade was halted.

You have no choice but to listen. That nobleman who made the donation was notoriously stingy, but now that stingy man has turned into a madman. If you don't tell the truth, this will definitely happen.

This is why nobles are so honest.

The policies and plans promoted by Wang continued to be implemented, the resistance began to decrease without limit, and many things that had no results before had good outcomes.

And afterwards, many nobles began to cooperate voluntarily, even offering treasures and land.

Once again, it has been proven that those nobles are both stupid and wicked, and they will not behave themselves unless they see their partners become utterly wicked.

"That's just how people are."

Emiya Shirou looked at the intelligence in his hand and sighed. Without the covert obstruction of nobles, the gains over the past two years have been enormous.

"Emiya Shirou-sama, is there some good news? You seem to be in a good mood."

Artoria, with her golden ponytail, approached and curiously peered over to see what was inside.

“It’s a comparison of this year’s harvest as recorded by Old York and the data I recorded before,” Emiya Shirou explained.

Artoria read the message again but did not reply. She simply nodded slightly, remaining very close to Artoria, without moving away.

The strange, pleasant scent that filled his nostrils made Shirou Emiya's mind wander. The historical King Arthur of Britain was actually a male character. Who would believe it if they hadn't seen it for themselves?

This history is really wild.

As a normal man, Shirou Emiya kept a slight distance, just right, to prevent the other person from misunderstanding or being hurt.

"It looks like this year will be another bumper harvest, thanks to Lord Emiya Shirou."

After reading the contents a moment later, Artoria looked at the other person and expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

"It's nothing, after all, who are we? We're buddies!"

Emiya Shirou gave a thumbs up, saying that helping his buddy was only right, and besides, the dream was indeed interesting.

Thinking of this, Shirou Emiya felt a little lost. The dream would end sooner or later, and he wondered what it would be like then.

Feeling inexplicably melancholy, Shirou Emiya lost his smile. Artoria tilted her head slightly, moved closer, and tiptoed to touch his forehead with hers.

The warm, soft touch of skin, unlike that of a boy, combined with the incredibly similar and delicate face, successfully made Shirou Emiya's heart race.

No need to spend time!

"The temperature isn't high, looks fine. I'll be going now, we'll be leaving soon, don't forget to pack your things."

Artoria took two steps back, turned and left, offering a few words of advice as she went.

Emiya Shirou scratched his head. Was it just his imagination? Why did his best bro seem to smell better and better?

Haha, it's definitely fake, I'm a straight man.

Not far away, Artoria took a few slow steps before quickening her pace. After stopping and looking around to make sure no one was watching, she took out a book from her bosom—a book that Meli had given her before.

[How to keep Shirou Emiya, one of the Ten Stars' subordinates, by your side]

That's right. After spending these three years together, Artoria has realized that she can't live without him.

Beyond urban development planning, his everyday conversations, the plans and support that perfectly solve problems after venting, and even his insignificant cooking skills all make Emiya Shirou a crucial member of the team.

Artoria had never imagined that Shirou Emiya would leave, until that day when she saw him looking at the envelope with a satisfied smile.

At the same time, Merlin appeared beside him and said nonchalantly, "It seems like Shirou Emiya has been like this for a while now. That letter seems to allow him to communicate with others, and he seems to be having a pleasant exchange~"

A single sentence triggered an unprecedented level of vigilance in the great King of Britain, for it was an attempt to abduct his breadwinner (crossed out), cook (crossed out), and his longest-serving companion!

"I'm giving you this book. It not only contains what my apprentice likes, but also various tips and tricks to make him perfect so you can keep him by your side."

After handing over a book, Meli disappeared, leaving Artoria staring blankly at the title.

"This isn't strange; it's something we have to do to protect Shirou Emiya. After all, chatting with strangers isn't good, and it would be bad if he got scammed."

Meli's voice came from beside her ear, and Artoria gripped the book tightly, her eyes gradually hardening.

"With Lord Emiya Shirou around, all of Britain is made better. It is the duty of a king to prevent Lord Emiya Shirou from being deceived!"

Artoria thought to herself.

Since that day, Artoria has started to act strangely (from Shirou Emiya's perspective).
