Chapter 33: The Undutiful Daughters Who Dug Up Their Mother's Grave (9k completed, asking for votes) _3
Luo En interrupted his disciple's wails and asked impatiently,
"Do you remember what that King Perinor looks like?"
"Wearing a silver full body armor, with a helmet enchanted to block detection magic, his face is unclear."
"How is his spear technique?"
"Very strong, and strangely familiar, as if he can predict my next move."
"And that spear?"
"The whole spear glows with a platinum light, its body covered with spiral thorn patterns, and the handle is embedded with thirteen Ogan Tree Runes, as if it could pierce the World in a single strike..."
"Besides these, what else do you know about King Perinor?"
"He had a daughter traveling with him, her smile was beautiful, and when he wanted to kill us, she spoke up to dissuade him, buying us some time."
"What's her name?"
"Seems like... Elaine?"
"Let me guess, proposing a duel vow was her idea, right?"
"How did you know!"
Altria looked at her teacher in surprise, amazed by his foresight.
However, Luo En's face darkened like a pot bottom, and he snorted coldly:
"Fool, that's because you were tricked!"
Elaine, the real name of his good disciple Vivian, one of the Three Lake Fairies, most adept at Elf Spells.
Among them, it naturally includes the Celtic traditional secret technique—Geis.
If he guessed correctly, the vow "forbidding the use of swords in combat" is most likely a Geis.
Once violated, the weapon will suffer backlash and thus break.
And this Elaine also claimed to be the daughter of King Perinor...
Combined with King Perinor's spear skills, which could easily suppress Altria and the four Round Table Knights, and could effortlessly cut through the Sword in the Stone, a Warner Treasure, her identity was already evident.
Luo En rubbed his throbbing temples and grumbled:
"Looks like the real body of your mother was excavated by your three sisters again, truly unfilial."
Altria's heart tightened at his words:
"What about Sir Lancelot and the others?"
"Instead of worrying about them, you should worry about yourself. Lancelot, Percival, Galahad, and Bos, all of them were raised by elves or have received elf favors, so their allegiance inherently leans towards the elves. They joined the Round Table simply as representatives of the elves, and not out of full loyalty to you. Don't you think the sequential events of the Water-seeking Beast, the duel, the Sword in the Stone breaking... seem a bit too coincidental?"
"You mean, they've been deceiving me all along?"
"Halfway correct. They indeed led you here intentionally but didn't truly intend to take your life. Otherwise, they wouldn't have stayed behind to cover your retreat and block Danu's pursuit."
Luo En pointed at the pools of blood on the ground and continued,
"The scent of blood is strong, it's theirs. The recent battle should have been no holds barred."
"Will they be alright?"
Altria couldn't help but worry about her four subordinates once again.
Luo En rolled his eyes and snorted coldly:
"Rest assured, the Lake Fairy wouldn't want to kill them."
Although Lancelot and the Three Knights of the Holy Grail didn't completely turn their backs, luring Altria here through deception was enough to show where their true allegiance lay.
By fiercely holding off Danu for Altria, they have essentially exhausted their accumulated favor.
Danu and the Three Lake Fairies seem to have chosen to honor their loyalty by abandoning the pursuit.
Thus, by the time they meet again, Lancelot and the Three Knights of the Holy Grail are likely to stand on the side of the elves against Camelot.
Clicking his tongue, Lancelot's defection, the division of the Round Table, the Sword in the Stone breaking, the action of the Three Lake Fairies...
Everything seems to have circled back to the starting point of fate.
Luo En sighed, pondering how to deal with the current situation when suddenly he felt a chill run down his spine.
Buzz!
Simultaneously, leaden-grey clouds painted a brilliant dark golden layer, the storm and thunder within intertwining to form a spiral light pillar connecting the heavens and the earth. This force like a meteor cutting through the sky rapidly expanded in his and Altria's vision, instantly filling their eyes.
Luo En's face changed drastically, cursing in his heart.
Damn it, it's really happening!
