Chapter 674: Entering the Holy City

Chapter 674: Entering the Holy City

At first, Wu Ming's goal was to help Gudako save the singularity, but when Wu Ming found out that the lion king in this singularity was no longer the Artoria he knew, he decided to come and see Artoria and see what had happened to her.

The reason why Wu Ming caught that ray of holy light was to make it easier to blend into the city.

However, Wu Ming had already guessed Gawain's next move, and coincidentally even though he wasn't holy, he wasn't the type of person who wouldn't be saved.

And this is also to save the singularity.

If the singularity is to be successfully saved, there must be humans in the singularity, not to mention the singularity has already begun to crumble.

The more humans, the better for the singularity that has started to collapse, after all this will delay the collapse of the singularity, and Gudako and the others will have more time.

Therefore, Wu Ming chose to expose himself and let the refugees escape.

Although it is not known whether the refugees will be able to find a safe place, their future fate is in their own hands.

It's a blessing or a curse or it's up to fate.

However, Gawain shook his head at Wu Ming who nodded in agreement.

"Sir Vero, even if I let the refugees go, they might not be able to leave alive. Those refugees will most likely be eaten by Demon Beasts, you should know that the wilds here are not just Demon Beasts like Soul Eaters."

As the Lion King's close minister, Gawain knows some secrets.

The solemn knights had the ability to completely annihilate the Demon Beasts around them, but Agravain purposely ordered the solemn knights not to act. The goal is to guard the Demon Beasts and clean up the excess "dirty humans".

Since there were too many humans at this singularity, and not many humans to choose from by the holy spear, Agravain nurtured the Demon Beasts and let them clean up the "humans".

All of them were kings, so Gawain, who knew the truth, didn't mind.

If the refugees faced a Demon Beast, the casualties were absolute, and the bad ones would most likely be instantly annihilated.

Don't think that they can leave safely if they come to the holy city, Gawain can confirm that the number of people who come to the holy city for the holy selection must be more than these two hundred people.

So where did the rest go? Either eaten by demon beasts, or died in the middle of the road due to various causes such as hunger and exhaustion.

These people who were able to participate in the holy selection came to the Holy City through the sacrifices of others.

Of course, there were also people who were lucky, like those who met Wu Ming, they did not encounter any danger along the way, and they met him after encountering danger, so they came safely.

So even if Gawain let go of those one or two hundred people, they probably wouldn't be able to leave alive.

"Moreover, if I report the news that the refugees have left, then Minister Agravain will definitely send Minister Trisyan or Minister Mordred to hunt them down."

Don't ask Gawain why he knows, because some people run away when there are a lot of people, and those people are caught and killed by Tristan or Mordred.

However, when Wu Ming heard Gawain's words just now, his brows couldn't help but frown.

"What did you say just now, why were you given the order of Agravain, where is the king?"

"Ever since I defeated King Lionheart, the king has been sleeping, but don't worry, it is the king's choice to sleep to replenish his magic power."

Gawain was afraid that Wu Ming would worry about what happened to Artoria, so he answered patiently.

This was indeed true, upon hearing Gawain's words, Wu Ming's furrowed brows relaxed.

If that's the case, there's no way around it.

Compared to being a military commander, Agravain was actually more suited as a civilian. When Artoria or Wu Ming were no longer Camelot, he could always be thorough and thorough in giving correct orders.

Even though the orders issued by Agravain are almost strictly of a kind that can no longer be strict, "stubborn and selfless" cannot fully describe Agravain.

Coupled with the fact that Agravain rarely smiled, this earned him the nickname "Iron Agravain".

But Wu Ming was worried again.

With Agravain's harsh attitude towards Artoria, of course it wouldn't hurt him, but to other people, Agravain wasn't so kind.

It could be said that if there was only a choice between Artoria and the Knights of the Round Table, and only one of them could be left alive, then Agravain would not hesitate to leave the Knights of the Round Table and choose Artoria.

Even himself, if necessary, would give up.

All this for the king.

Familiar with almost everyone in the Knights of the Round Table, it was certain that Agravain was more loyal to Artoria than anyone else. This guy really is a big fan of Aror9.

Of course, if it was in Camelot before, there would be no problem, but now it is not Great Britain, let alone Great Britain Camelot, but the holy city of Camelot that has just been built on the ruins of Jerusalem.

Wu Ming now knew why the group of refugees he had met at the start was so afraid of the identity of the Knights of the Round Table, and Agravain was the reason.

Artoria barely handles political matters due to her good sleep, and Agravain's standards for handling matters for Artoria are very strict. Everything he was doing now was for the sake of holy selection, and holy selection was probably Artoria's order.

Coupled with Gawain who didn't match his previous personality, Wu Ming felt that the current Knights of the Round Table might no longer be "King Arthur's Round Table Knights", but "Lion Kings' Round Table Knights".

Shaking his head, Wu Ming looked at Gawain.

"Gawain, let's make a deal."

Hearing that Wu Ming did not propose to gamble again, Gawain did not immediately agree, but shook his head.

"This time, I want to hear the contents of Sir Vero's transaction first."

"I will meet the king with you and tell me what happened to the king and knights of the round table in this singularity."

After thinking about Wu Ming's words for a while, Gawain nodded and agreed.

However, Wu Ming directly revealed his identity only to protest with Artoria, it can be said that Gawain was trapped by Wu Ming again, and he also sent information.

...

The gates of the holy city were closed, and the solemn knights also returned to the holy city.

While Gawain was explaining to Wu Ming what happened after he reached this singularity, he led Wu Ming to the tallest tower in the center of the new holy city of Camelot.

Listening to Gawain's explanation, Wu Ming raised his head and looked at the tower, where Artoria was inside.
