Dragon of the Root

Chapter 22: Night

Chapter 22: Night

The banquet lasted until evening. After everyone left, Wu Ming dismissed the maids and walked towards the room with the drunk Artoria.

"You said you couldn't drink, so drink less, and now you're drunk." Wu Ming sighed.

After seeing Wu Ming support her, Artoria leaned her body completely. In the end, it became Wu Ming holding Artoria who was lying in his arms and moving forward little by little.

"Um I don't drink much I'm tired Vero my head is so uncomfortable" Artoria rubbed Wu Ming chest. Could it be that Wu Ming wasn't wearing his silver white armor for today banquet?

Wu Ming shook his head, he waved his hand and a few runes flashed, then he placed his hand on Artoria forehead.

"Is this better, Artoria." Wu Ming used Refining Runes.

"Un, much better." Artoria opened her previously drunken eyes. At this moment, there was only calm in his eyes.

"By the way, Vero, are you secretly using runes for yourself, how can you drink so much alcohol and nothing happens?" Artoria looked at Wu Ming angrily.

Wu Ming couldn't help but laugh and pat Artoria head.

"You have grown up, Little Artoria~"

"I'm the king, don't pat my head~"

"Yes, Yes, Yes."

While speaking, Wu Ming and Artoria had arrived at the door of Artoria room.

"Come in, Artoria, I've spoken to Vere, you just need to come in and have a chat with her."

"Hmm--! You call her Vere, this sounds very intimate."

Seeing Artoria, who became angry again, Wu Ming patted her face and smiled again.

"This is the condition of the person who has promised to keep your secret a secret. It's okay, don't be jealous, come in, I'll stay here tonight."

"What's wrong, Vero, is something going to happen?" said Artoria firmly.

"It's fine, I'm just afraid if a maid or knight passes by in the middle of the night, and they eavesdrop." Of course this is just a lie.

What he was really worried about was Morgan le Fay. Wu Ming was afraid of what the woman would do on Artoria wedding night, just in case, Wu Ming decided to stay at the door.

"Alright, but, just in case something happens, you should call me." Artoria was worried, she also saw abnormality in Morgan le Fay today, even though Morgan le Fay was her sister, she never got along.

"Un, now go inside and sleep. Tomorrow is the first meeting of the Knights of the Round Table." As he said, Wu Ming pushed Artoria into the room.

After closing the door, Wu Ming hand quickly slid through the air, and a series of runes appeared in the air, and then a large number of runes stuck to the walls of Artoria room, tightly sealing the entire room. Without leaving a gap.

"Hu~~~" With a deep breath, Wu Ming took out the armor from the Space Runes on his body, and directly applied it to his body using Magecraft. But he wasn't wearing a helmet.

Now the Space Runes on Wu Ming body had manifested into Noble Phantasm, and turned into a golden tattoo resembling a dragon head, tattooed on his right arm.

This Noble Phantasm is an additional Noble Phantasm that has no actual attack ability, the name of this Noble Phantasm is Dragonest.

The documents that Wu Ming handed over to Artoria earlier were also stored in Dragonest, now he had a safe and comfortable storage space.

The Noble Phantasm was Wu Ming great weapon. Not everyone can have a safe and comfortable independent space.

Wu Ming put the Exsilver Sacred Sword on his waist, he released Yggdrasil Noble Phantasm form turning it into a silver armband, and placed it on his left arm. He wrapped his arms around his chest and quietly waited for Morgan le Fay to arrive.

The moon rose slowly, as the moon hung in the middle of the sky, the lights in the corridor were extinguished by the wind outside the window.

After a while, Wu Ming opened his eyes.

It made sense that there should be knights patrolling the palace at night, but now that everything was dark, and there was no one around, it was clear that something was wrong.

Wu Ming used magic power to look around and Artoria room, and found that there was no trace of human aura in or around the room. Moreover, Wu Ming also felt a strange atmosphere around him.

"Illusion--!" Wu Ming was surprised.

"How can I be in the illusion, this era is not the Age of Gods, and the illusion that affects me should not exist."

Wu Ming closed his eyes and stimulated the mental power in his mind with his own magic power.

"Hmm--!" Wu Ming snorted loudly and opened his eyes.

The image in front of him changed to the previous corridor again, the light did not go out, and it was still on, but there was an additional figure in front of Wu Ming.

"Your Excellency Morgan le Fay, why are you visiting so late at night?" Wu Ming wiped the golden blood from the corner of his mouth and said while looking at Morgan le Fay.

By the way, he also used his magic power to investigate Artoria and Guinevere in the room.

"Oh, I saw Sir Vero staying at the door of the king and queen chamber late at night, afraid you would be lonely, Morgan came to visit you specially." Morgan le Fay said with a smile.

"If nothing else, Your Excellency Morgan, it's better to go to bed early." Wu Ming tone was flat.

"Very well, Sir Vero, I am leaving now, good night." After speaking, Morgan actually turned around and left.

Wu Ming watched Morgan le Fay disappear in a corner of the corridor.

Wu Ming really didn't expect Morgan to leave. Of course, he wouldn't believe that the other party was here to visit him, and the woman wouldn't do such a boring thing.

After checking Artoria and Guinevere health, Wu Ming started the night vigil again.

"It seems that in the future I will have to find a way or ability to practice using mental strength."

Wu Ming was pretty sure that Morgan used some kind of Age of Gods illusion Magecraft on him. It's not that he doesn't trust Morgan, but that he knows the other party too well. "The person who knows you best is often your opponent." The sentence is not without reason.

Wu Ming guessed Morgan might be using some kind of Magecraft prop from Age of Gods. Don't talk about the lost Magecraft Age of Gods. If anything, Morgan le Fay too...

"No, with the other party talent, it doesn't mean she can't learn an Age of Gods Magecraft or two."

Wu Ming rubbed his chin and thought.

"I just don't know what the other party is doing tonight. I just don't know if Mordred will be born."

Morgan does not manage to meet King Arthur. Wu Ming was sure of this, because even if the opponent used space magic, the runes he composed would also respond. Wu Ming used the Eighteen Primodial Runes, he didn't believe Morgan could avoid the Primodial Runes.

"Forget it, the soldiers will come to block, the water will come to cover the earth, take one step at a time." Slowly, the sun rose.
