Otherwise, you can find another savior.

Although he had set up a barrier out of caution, it seemed that the traitor did not dare to come here and try to eavesdrop.

After Reinecke and Hector left, Teterot and Grimm also went to another room to rest.

"In the end, nothing was accomplished." Jian said quietly, with no joy or sadness in his voice.

"Sorry..." Xijian couldn't help but wanted to say something, but the only thing that came out of his mouth was this sentence.

Jian raised her head, looking like she was about to cry: "I should be the one to say sorry. For my ideal, you have been with me for nearly 4000 years. I..."

"Then there's even less need to apologize." Xi Jian walked over and stroked Jian's face. "Leave the rest to me. Take Bawan Xi... no, should I say, take our child. Just like I said, go wait for me outside the city."

"I say—" Jian hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "If I had known the result, what would you have thought?"

Xijian just shook his head: "Then do you know who sent me to you?"

“…I see…” Jian suddenly realized that he was inflexible in this matter.

It had nothing to do with whether she knew the future or not; it was his heartfelt wish to walk with her, to share the good and the bad with her.

Tears rolled down her cheeks and he wiped them away.

"Have a good rest, I'll take care of the rest." Shiomi said.

"What happens after that?" asked Jian.

"Then, let's have a good chat, shall we?" Shiomi held her in his arms, kissed her forehead and whispered, "Also... we have to take care of this child and stabilize Bawan Xi's life form."

"Really..."

Jian let out a long sigh and made up his mind.

Chapter 2: Night of the Long Knives ()

The next day was the coronation ceremony.

A day that everyone seems to be looking forward to.

The coronation ceremony was held in the spacious square garden in front of the main hall of the royal palace where the Lord of Londinium lived.

The venue was filled with long tables covered with white tablecloths along the flower beds, and a wide variety of food was placed on them. When the coronation ceremony was completed, all the guests would enjoy the feast to their satisfaction.

As for the guards standing inside and outside the garden, no goblin really paid any attention to them because they were a natural presence. They were all armed to the teeth.

The city lord's servants were busy from day to evening, when the garden was already crowded with fairies who came to watch the coronation ceremony. In addition to the king's clan, the patriarchs and representatives of each clan also came here.

After experiencing war after war, as long as the goblins are not completely eradicated, they will be reborn as the next generation in other places again and again.

Therefore, the total number of fairies in Britain has not actually decreased, and there are even signs of an increase.

As night fell, the spacious garden became increasingly lively, and everyone was looking forward to the appearance of the protagonist of this coronation ceremony.

As for what exactly they are looking forward to, only these fairies themselves know.

Just as some goblins began to feel that something was wrong and that something had gone wrong, a commotion came from the corner of the garden.

The lord of Londinium, a sage who was said to be human but seemed to have lived for a long time, followed by Reinecke and his attendants, two by two, walked along the corridor at the edge of the garden and slowly came to the platform in front of the garden.

In that place, there was a throne belonging to the new king of Britain, and a dining table that belonged exclusively to the king.

"Huh? Is there only a king? Didn't they say that there will be a princess who will be crowned together with the king?" A fairy asked.

This question immediately spread and spread in all directions.

Standing on the steps, looking down at all the fairies below, Shiomi stretched out his hand to signal them to be quiet:

"The princess who will be crowned alongside me will be chosen from among the six clans after this. This is also for the sake of Britain's future prosperity and stability."

His words surprised the goblins, and they made noises one after another.

Then, bells rang in the palace's bell tower, musical instruments played, and bright petals fell from the sky like a fine snow.

When the petals are stained with blood, the color will surely be even more beautiful, Shiomi thought to herself.

The coronation ceremony was not long. When a servant came over carrying a cushion, all the guests saw the newly made crown.

Another servant came from the other side, carrying a tray with a golden wine jug and a crystal wine glass, and a glass of colorless wine was placed on top.

According to the original plan, Shiomi was to wear the crown himself and then put another one on his fairy concubine.

Afterwards, the new king and the Fairy Queen will raise their glasses together.

The coronation ceremony is now complete, and Londinium will begin a celebration and feast that will last for seven days and seven nights.

——On the contrary.

Xijian glanced at the wine glass, and then suddenly realized the answer.

He had been wondering how the goblins planned to disrupt the coronation ceremony, and now he finally had the answer.

There is no better option than poisoning.

The king and queen must drink the first glass of wine at the coronation ceremony.

Among the fairies in Britain, each clan occasionally has fairies who are good at making poisons, especially high-level fairies who can create extremely exquisite, colorless and odorless poisons.

However, such goblins are often seen as threats by their own kind and will be executed without any knowledge of their nature, regardless of their nature.

After figuring it out, Shiomi picked up the glass of wine. Even if he used his magic power to detect it, he couldn't tell whether it was poisonous to an unnoticeable degree.

Unless a more blatant technique is used.

or--

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that among the two rows of fairies in the front, a wind fairy seemed to be very concerned about his actions.

So, Shiomi held up a glass of wine and invited her.

"Please come here. I remember you are the leader of the Wind Fairies?"

"Yes." The other party was calm and composed, "We have seen it."

"Ms. Minerva?"

"That's the name of our ancestor. My name is Vera." The patriarch introduced himself.

"Oh, it seems the ancestor died in the great disaster before." Shiomi made an apologetic expression. "I would like to invite the head of the Wind Clan to become the queen of the new British king, so that we can rule Britain together. What do you think?"

Amidst the exclamations, the patriarch smiled elegantly.

"It's a great honor, but won't this incur the wrath of the original wife?"

"There's no need for you to worry about that, Madam Chief." Xi Jian said ambiguously. He reached out and poured another glass of wine, passing the previous one to the other woman. "Please drink this. Then you will be the Princess of Britain."

The other party's expression suddenly stiffened: "This..."

I had to hold the wine in my hand and hesitated to raise my glass.

"what happened?"

"Please ask Mr. Wang, who I'm waiting for..." The other party tried to delay.

"I said, please go first." Xi Jian smiled. "Why are you being so evasive? Are you unwilling to become the princess, or...what's in this glass of wine?"

"How, how could it be——"

She let out a cry of surprise, and as Shiomi raised her hand and spilled her drink, her voice abruptly stopped, fear spreading across her face in layers.

"Why not? You know it very well."

Xijian laughed out loud, and his hand suddenly loosened, and the crystal wine glass fell on the steps and shattered.

In the garden that suddenly became quiet, a clear sound was heard.

Then, the guards drew their long swords from their waists.

"You are plotting to murder the new king, and you will be killed without mercy!"

Reinecke ordered sharply.

The fairies who hadn't reacted yet stood there in a daze until the first fairy was beheaded, followed by the second, the third...

There was chaos in the garden. The goblins who were offering wine and crowns had already dropped what they were holding and fled in all directions.

"F-Forgive me, City Lord... No, Your Majesty!"

The patriarch of the Wind Clan fell down the stairs. It was Shiomi who raised her hand to push him away. She shrank back and looked at Shiomi who was approaching as if she had seen the god of death.

"Why should I forgive you?"

"I know I was wrong... This was not my plan, but-"

"You don't know you're wrong, you just know you're going to die."

Xijian interrupted her, reached out to grab her chin, opened her mouth, and poured the wine from the jug into her.

Although he tried to spit out the poisonous wine, it was too late.

Looking at her spitting blood and convulsing on the ground, Xiomi sneered.

"So it's just this kind of poison... How boring! I was hoping for something more creative."

Chapter 3: Night of the Long Knives ()

As more and more fairies fell, the fairies who conspired to poison the new king finally reacted after the leader of the Wind Clan fell. They passed through the fleeing fairies and pounced on Xiomi.

Under extreme tension and fear, they even forgot that Londinium's thousand-year development and prosperity were mainly due to the power of its city lord.

With just a slight raise of his hand, ice blades suddenly emerged from the ground and pierced through the goblins that were trying to kill him, freezing most of their bodies and then piercing them.

The fairy tried to struggle, but after just a slight movement, her frozen body cracked instantly.

"No no no no……"

The fairy closest to Shiomi looked at his outstretched hand and screamed for mercy, but still couldn't stop his hand from falling on his head.

Click.

Just like breaking a fragile glass product, Shiomi tore off the fairy's head.

The blood did not spurt out, but froze at the moment it was about to spurt out. The ice on the goblins instantly spread to their entire bodies, turning them into ice sculptures one after another.

The goblin trapped inside is still conscious, but can only feel fear.

After passing through these "ice sculptures", Shiomi, holding the head, threw it back like throwing away garbage.

The ice sculpture that was hit by the head exploded with a loud bang, and the scattered ice fragments hit the ones next to it.

One after another, like dominoes, more than a dozen ice sculptures exploded gradually within a few seconds, and the cold wind filled the entire courtyard.

The goblins that had not escaped were blown to the ground by the wind, and were so frightened that they couldn't even get up.

When Shiomi approached, they could only dodge around as much as possible, but they were attacked continuously from behind.

When Xijian passed by as if he didn't see these fairies, they thought they had escaped, but what followed were wind blades that tore their bodies apart, scorching flames, and lightning that could instantly turn the fairies into dust.

With every step, more than one rune magic formula was constructed and launched to attack any target.

He didn't even want to look at the goblins begging for mercy or wailing. His patience had run out, and what awaited these goblins was only judgment and sentencing.

We walked through the garden, passed through the long corridor at the main entrance of the palace, and arrived at the high platform in front of the palace gate.

The once bustling Londinium has turned into a Shura field where people are killing each other with knives.

Even Xijian didn't know whether it was the citizens of Londinium who took the initiative to defend themselves, or these evil-minded goblins who took the initiative to attack.

The garden behind him soon became quiet, forming a sharp contrast with the chaos and noise in the city.

The sounds of armor running could be heard one after another, and the armor of the guards was already stained with blood.

Without the need for Shiomi to continue his orders, Reinek led the guards to rush into the streets of Londinium, protecting the citizens here and killing the foreign enemies.

Shiomi jumped onto a roof outside the palace and saw that several houses on the street were already on fire.

Because a lot of fire-making materials were prepared in the city for the all-night banquet, the fire spread quickly. The automatic fire-extinguishing magic originally used in the city to prevent fires was also dispelled by Xi Jian with a wave of his hand.

He looked towards the barracks. When the fire broke out in the city, the Round Table Army took this as a signal and launched a surprise attack inside and outside the city, just as Xi Jian had planned.

He even faintly heard an order saying, "If any enemy troops infiltrate the crowd attending the ceremony, those who are not citizens of Londinium will be killed without mercy."

The Round Table Army was unstoppable both inside and outside the city of Londinium.

The orders they received were similar: to protect the city lord and citizens and to kill the rebels.

Both Hector and Reineke tried to rationalize this indiscriminate killing.
