"Really? Putting something like this in there almost tore the comic book."
Altria complained, threw the notebook to the ground and never cared about it again.
PS: There are quite a few pictures of Gun Dai in his clothes and swimsuits, but very few in plain clothes. I can only use the group picture here, because the original picture is too wide, so I cropped Gun Dai.
Chapter 8 Merlin: Death and explosion are inseparable
"I think we have finally dealt with this guy..."
With wounds all over his body and his clothes almost half-ripped, his back pressed against the wall on the second floor of the bar, Kyosuke, Gawain, and Lancelot, who had heard that something was wrong and had come up to support him, were talking breathlessly.
Facing three powerful (? ) enemies, Miss Meili took out the attitude of the devil Lu Bu at Hulao Pass back then, and fought against the three powerful Knights of the Round Table as a woman (? ) (Kyosuke was just a supporting role throughout).
Lancelot used his private collection of cannonballs, large-caliber sniper rifles, and various types of grenades, and used [Aroundight (Indestructible Lake Light)] and Gawain's treasure [Excalibur Gallatin (Revolving Sword of Victory)] to combine and launch a gorgeous and beautiful artistic light cannon that directly bombarded Miss Mary's face.
When Miss Meli was fighting against him with the sword in both hands, Kyosuke took advantage of her unpreparedness and used his Noble Phantasm, the frying pan, to attack the back of Miss Meli's head. In the end, at the cost of the frying pan being completely scrapped, he finally managed to silence Miss Meli again.
This was a thrilling, cruel and intense battle. Kyosuke felt that his previous battles with Archimedes were not as thrilling as this one.
"Really? It's such a waste of Merlin's talent to be a magician and a counselor. If this guy had chosen the path of a knight from the beginning, he might have gone down in history as the strongest Knight of the Round Table... Anyway, I don't think I can beat him alone."
"Lancelot, stop kidding... This cross-dressing online swindler should wear the Elizabeth dress he made himself, and then be imprisoned forever in the sealed tomb made of huge stones made by Vivian."
"Ahh." Hearing the conversation between Gawain and Lancelot, Kyosuke laughed miserably, "But to be honest, did we really defeat Merlin... Don't tell me this guy has a second form as a boss."
"Who knows? Anyway, I can't get up..."
In response to Kyosuke's smiling tone, Gao Wen raised his hands in surrender.
"Haha, how ironic. They are obviously rivals, but they are united in the face of this monster. You fought a great battle, Lancelot."
"Same here, Gawain."
"That's right, two seniors."
Reluctantly, three knights with different paths joined hands in the face of a powerful enemy and finally survived. This plot is just like an old movie, so according to the convention, the movie will end with the two knights shaking hands...
Just when we thought everything would end like in the movies, the atmosphere was shattered in the next moment.
"...It hurts, it hurts... I say, why do you three look so intoxicated by the sense of accomplishment? Could it be that you are in that kind of relationship?"
After going through untold hardships, the great demon Meli was finally defeated by the warriors, rubbing her head and climbing up again. She looked at the three boys shaking hands and crying in surprise, with an excited look called gossip in her eyes.
"What happened to you three?"
Meili looked at the three people who immediately huddled together after they found her standing up, which was a bit strange. She originally thought that these three people were in that kind of relationship, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"Um...Miss Meili, are you okay? Do you remember what happened before?" Kyosuke asked bravely.
Meili didn't care that she looked a little dusty. She waved her hands at Kyosuke and said, "You're so annoying, Kyosuke. What can happen to me? But my head does hurt a little, and I don't remember what happened just now. Did I accidentally fall and hit my head?"
"Uh... That's right, the collision was pretty severe." Kyosuke quietly hid the frying pan with only the handle left behind him, "Oh, by the way, Sister Meili. I want to ask you a question. Do you know what Merlin has hidden in the room before?"
"Hidden things? That guy just puts his things in the room. He basically never hides them."
Mary rubbed the bump on her head and tried hard to recall. Suddenly, she looked surprised.
"That guy did hide his private money and account books."
"Really? Do you know where it is hidden?"
Kyosuke and the other two immediately crawled in front of Meili and asked anxiously.
"As for the private money, I handed it all over to Lily this morning. As for the account book, I really don't know where I hid it."
"Don't play dumb. You hid it yourself, how could you not know?"
"Ah, that's annoying, Lancelot. He and I have completely different concepts. And the account book was hidden randomly by that guy. How can I know something that even he doesn't know... Oh, so you are in the account book."
Meili clenched her right fist and tapped the palm of her left hand.
"So what is going on?"
Meili patted the shoulders of the three people in turn, trying to comfort their impatience, and said slowly: "It's like this, in order to ensure that the account book is not taken away, the guy always closes his eyes and randomly casts a spell to [melt] the account book into a comic book. So he never lends the comic book to others, just because he is afraid that the account book will be lent out... This is trouble..."
Mary suddenly covered her head while speaking.
"Now is not the time to say 'trouble'. I just read all the comics and I didn't see any account books stuck in them."
"Well, you can't tell from your appearance. Now we should find Lily and warn her."
"Warning? What does this have to do with the king?"
Gao Wen was a little puzzled and asked quickly.
"That technique is to hide the account book in the space between two pages, so it is completely invisible from the outside. It can only be opened with the right method. Lily asked me to borrow a set of comics before, and I didn't expect this to happen, so I just lent it to him."
"You mean the account book might be in the king's hands?!"
Cold sweat immediately broke out on Lancelot's face.
"Don't worry, Lancelot. Lily can't understand the way the account book is recorded. But there is one thing I need to make clear to her. The two pages are sealed with magic, and it would be very dangerous if you use violence to tear them apart..."
"What will happen? An explosion?"
"That's about right. Because it uses space technology, it won't happen immediately. It will probably produce space turbulence after a minute or two, and its effect is similar to that of a large mine explosion—"
Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang
As Merlin was talking, there was a sound of something exploding in a room on the second floor. The explosion was so powerful that the door of the room was blown off. Lancelot quickly pressed Kyousuke's head down, otherwise Kyousuke would probably become a senior on the spot.
After the distant thunder-like explosion, [Camelot] returned to the silence of the night. This time, even the bar on the first floor fell silent.
After a long silence, Kyosuke closed his eyes in pain.
"It seems that everything is too late..."
Chapter 9: Altria: I am waiting for Merlin to return
Late at night. After closing time at Camelot. In the bar lobby.
The store manager, Miss Altria, sat on a high chair and looked at the four people kneeling in front of her without saying a word, but her sharp eyes were scarier than a knife. Because of the strong physique of the Heroic Spirit, the store manager was not injured in this accident. But she was not unscathed, her pajamas had become bumpy and full of black marks that seemed to be burned.
The originally beautiful blonde hair also became dull, and due to the explosion, the length of the hair became uneven, and when it was draped over the shoulders, it looked a little funny. In particular, some of the hair stood there like antennas, as if the store manager had grown several hairs out of thin air.
But no one dared to laugh at this angry king, not even the most heartless Mordred. Kai, who had laughed out loud before, had used his own experience to tell everyone that it was better not to seek death. At this time, he had been stripped of all his clothes and hung on the billboard outside [Camelot] with chains, enjoying the night breeze.
Anyway, apart from the four kneeling people, there was basically nothing for me to do today. It was not worth it to be implicated just because of the king's image. Even better, I heard that the account book recording my "evil" deeds had been destroyed in the explosion, so I didn't have to worry about buying ●●'s ●● photos or ●●'s ●● photos from Merlin. No one would ever know.
So all the knights standing on the periphery exchanged glances of relief with each other, and then cast gloating glances at the four people in the field, or rather three of them.
Altria's eyes swept over Meli kneeling on the floor and Kyosuke kneeling on the washboard, and stopped at Gawain and Lancelot kneeling on the uneven iron plate. Unlike the previous time, this time there was a thick stone slab on the knees of the two people.
"Lily, it's all my fault. If I had said it earlier, this wouldn't have happened."
Mary felt sorry for the people who were punished and pleaded with Lily.
"Shut up, you have nothing to do here. I'll settle accounts with you when you turn back into Merlin."
After hearing what Altria said, Meli had to give up her plan to plead for them. She looked at them with an apologetic look.
However, Kyosuke and the other two did not notice Meili's eyes. They were now overwhelmed by the overwhelming power of the store manager.
"Um, King..."
Lancelot wanted to explain something, but he was stopped before he could finish.
"Shut up. Scumbags have no right to speak."
The person who spoke was not Manager Altria but Mashu who was standing next to her.
"How could that be? Mashu, you should trust your father."
Lancelot wanted to beg for Mashu-chan's forgiveness.
"Yes, I have always believed it." Mashu said expressionlessly, "I believe my father is a pervert."
Bah——!
After hearing Mashu's speech, Lancelot instantly felt that his life had lost its meaning. He knocked his head on the stone slab with such force that it broke in half. However, Lancelot himself didn't care at all. At this time, he was in a state of self-loathing that was hated by Mashu.
However, the kind-hearted Bedivere on the side reminded him: "Oh, Lancelot, how could you be so careless as to break the slate?"
As he said this, Bedivere kindly placed a new slate on Lancelot's thigh, but he did not take the broken slate off Lancelot's thigh. Instead, he directly placed a new slate on it.
Gawain was frightened by Bedivere's dark face. He said in a trembling voice: "Well...well, Bedivere..."
"Why? Gao Wenjun also wants to change a slate? Just tell me earlier."
Bedivere impatiently placed a new slate on Gawain's thigh, and carelessly forgot to take the previous one off.
Kyosuke heard Gao Wen groan, and in order to prevent the store manager from getting even angrier, Gao Wen could only play the victim in disguise to gain sympathy. Unfortunately, this trick was not very effective, because the store manager just dragged her two fat bags and watched several people being punished.
"Okay."
After about half an hour, the store manager finally spoke.
When Gao Wen heard these words, it was as if he heard the sound of nature. He felt that his whole body became sublime.
However, one of the people that Altria gave guidance to was Meli.
"Merry, you should get up first. Your mistake was just forgetting to remind him. When you turn back into Merlin, I will talk to him about his problem."
Mary stood up after hearing this, but she did not leave immediately. Instead, she waited for the manager to announce how to deal with the remaining three people.
"Lord Gawain, Lord Lancelot. You two have really come a long way. Are you planning to go there with the photo of Mash and me?"
After hearing what Altria said, Gawain quickly expressed his loyalty: "My king, my loyalty to you is as clear as the sun and the moon! I only bought your photo to worship it. How could I do such a vulgar thing? I just don't want Gareth to know that I didn't buy her photo."
After hearing Gawain's defense, Altria nodded and said, "It's okay, she knows now."
She snapped her fingers and Gareth stepped out immediately. She grabbed Gawain by the collar with a gentle smile and dragged him away.
"Really, my brother is so superficial. But it doesn't matter, Gareth will let you know the benefits of Gareth's body tonight. Gareth believes that after trying it, my brother will definitely be unable to leave Gareth. By then, my brother will rush to buy Gareth's photos from Merlin."
