Chapter 1022

~5 min read 973 words

"Lin Ye, what did you call us for? Did you encounter a strong enemy?" The King became serious as soon as she came out. Although she had been spoiled by Lin Ye during this time, the King was the King and would never let her strength decline due to a lack of combat.

Then, the King saw the dumbfounded Tristan: "Sir Tristan, why are you here? Is this Singularity helping Lin Ye? Then I'm relieved."

"King... I... I..." Tristan couldn't speak; looking at the King in front of him, he suddenly felt ashamed to face anyone.

Yes, the King still thought he could help Lin Ye, but he was standing on the opposite side of him.

And on the other side, Lin Ye suddenly came to Tristan and said slowly: "Let me tell you, Tristan he... Woo!!"

Lin Ye hadn't even finished speaking when his mouth was tightly covered by Tristan! Tristan's eyes were filled with pleading, or one could say begging; he whispered in Lin Ye's ear with a trembling voice:

"Don't... don't... I beg you... don't!"

Lin Ye blinked at him, then took his hand away, and then said to him:

"Tristan, you wouldn't want Artoria to know about your business, would you."

"Lin Ye!! You!!"

Tristan looked at Lin Ye in front of him, gritting his teeth. If it were normal times, he naturally wouldn't be afraid of Lin Ye snitching, but now, he didn't dare.

That's right, he didn't dare.

During this time, he had abandoned all the honor of a knight; the only thing supporting him was his loyalty to King Arthur! Because he was convinced that as long as Artoria knew what they had done, she would definitely be disappointed in him, and even in herself!

If even this disappeared, then he would even doubt the meaning of his own existence!

Round Table Knights never fear death, but he couldn't abandon his knightly way!

Lin Ye was clearly aware of this.

"Many people would rather die than suffer social death."

Lin Ye sighed, then patted his shoulder, then turned to the King and the others and said: "Lia, I have nothing going on here, I just wanted you to see Sir Tristan and catch up. Actually... he also misses you quite a bit."

"Misses?" The King thought for a while; she looked at Tristan in front of her for a long time and finally showed a gentle smile: "Sir Tristan, you... have suffered."

She didn't have Clairvoyance, but she knew what Sir Tristan should look like.

Elegant, confident, noble, but the current Tristan no longer had these; what he had was only thick sadness and confusion!

She didn't understand what could turn her knight into this, but she had a bad premonition at this moment. However, the King didn't ask directly; she knew that if Lin Ye hadn't told her, there must be a reason he didn't want her to know.

So she said to Lin Ye:

"Lin Ye, take good care of Sir Tristan."

Lin Ye nodded, then hugged Tristan's shoulder and said: "Of course, we are good brothers, how could I bully him?"

Tristan...

You are really shameless!

The three Kings left, and as they left, Lin Ye patted Tristan's shoulder and said:

"From now on, the undercover mission is handed to you, codename: Pangolin!!"

Tristan rolled his eyes at Lin Ye, then left without saying a word.

And watching the disappearing Tristan, Mash couldn't help but ask: "Senpai, Tristan, did he agree?"

"Of course." Lin Ye smiled confidently: "His loyalty to King Arthur makes it absolutely impossible for him to go back on his word, and... this is also the way for him to truly be relieved; he has no reason, and it's impossible for him to refuse."

"Is that so? Senpai is really amazing!" Mash looked at Lin Ye with admiration. And Lin Ye also focused his gaze on Cursed Arm in front of him and the forty refugees behind him.

"Alright, there won't be any pursuers today; you... are safe."

*Sob! *

Instantly, everyone present couldn't help but cry.

Finally, finally escaped a disaster? The feeling of being able to live is really good.

Cursed Arm also respectfully came to Lin Ye's side; he understood now that Lin Ye was the biggest thigh to hug present!

At this moment, a group of people moved toward the East Village.

It's just that on the way, he saw a different scene.

Gaunt refugees were dragging their families toward Camelot, and Mash wanted to stop them but had no way to do so.

These people were like stubborn turtles now, walking toward Camelot.

The Selection: those with pure souls enter the Holy City, the rest are all purged, and the probability of being selected... one in a hundred!

Watching this scene, Cursed Arm also said helplessly to her:

"Don't stop them; they can't hold on anymore."

"Can't hold on? But they are just going to their deaths!" Mash didn't understand; she already knew from Cursed Arm what the result of going to the Holy City was. Why did these people still want to go?

"Because they are hungry." Lin Ye also sighed; some people can accept jumping off a building, hanging themselves, or taking poison, but they can't endure hunger. Hunger is the most painful thing.

Lin Ye didn't say anything, because he knew that this group of people who had reached a dead end wouldn't listen to his "one-sided words." They were all holding onto a fluke mentality, thinking they were the ones who would be selected.

Unfortunately, only when the cruel reality arrived would they regret and despair.

However, Lin Ye was Lin Ye after all. Although he didn't say anything, he still reached out and tapped a mother gently.

The next second, a ray of light entered her body, and no one noticed...
