Chapter 16

And just as Diarmuid and his companions see this, the four of them really do find a cabin in the wilderness because they can't make it back. Just as Oscar is about to lead everyone inside, Diarmuid suddenly pulls them back!

"Something is wrong here. How could anyone live in the middle of nowhere! Let's not sleep tonight and just travel through the night."

"This..." Oscar and the others look at each other. After a long while, Oscar, being Fionn's grandson, nods and says, "Fine! We'll listen to Diarmuid."

Having said that, the four of them turn around and leave.

Inside the cabin, the old man, the woman, the goat, and the cat stare at each other.

What is going on! You're not following the script!

Seeing that no one chased them out of the cabin, Diarmuid breathes a sigh of relief. That Love Spot is no good thing; you can tell just by looking at Lin Ye's miserable state.

Yes, being liked by all women sounds pretty good, but let me ask you: are there more beauties in this world, or more ordinary people? If a woman you don't like is pestering you to death every day, what kind of feeling is that?

Thinking of this, Diarmuid immediately continues to watch.

[To prevent his face from causing more chaos, Lin Ye buys a mask to cover his face.]

[And you successfully obtain the qualification to compete for the Fianna Knights with the lion you brought back!]

[Third day: You invite Lin Ye to stay at your home, and he nods in agreement.]

[Fourth day: To become a member of the Fianna Knights, you practice spear and sword techniques constantly during this time. Since none of your companions are your match, you ask Lin Ye to spar with you.]

[Fifth day: You discover that although Lin Ye's spear and sword skills are not as good as yours, his abilities are quite complex, so although you have the upper hand, you cannot defeat him for a long time.]

[Sixth day: Your spear skill level increases.]

[Seventh day: Your sword skill level increases.]

[Tenth day: The Fianna Knights selection begins! On this day, you and your three companions defeat one opponent after another. You see everyone cheering for you, but only Lin Ye looks at you with concern.]

[You successfully enter the Knights, and at the same time, your King Fionn personally arrives to hold the knighthood ceremony for you! You also swear your loyalty to him.]

"Well done!"

Diarmuid watches this scene excitedly. The Fianna Knights—there isn't a knight who doesn't want to join. As for swearing loyalty, isn't that what a knight is supposed to do?

Diarmuid hurriedly looks down.

[First year: You join the Fianna Knights and perform many meritorious deeds; your status rises. Although Lin Ye does not join the Fianna Knights, he fights alongside you, and your friendship grows deeper.]

[Second year: You fight alongside Lin Ye, and Fionn also notices this heroic warrior. He extends an invitation to Lin Ye to join the Fianna Knights, and Lin Ye falls into deep thought.]

At this moment, two options appear before Lin Ye.

[Option 1: Agree to Fionn and become a member of the Fianna Knights.]

[Option 2: Politely decline, telling him you are only here because you are worried about your friend.]

Looking at these two options, Lin Ye thinks for a moment. "It's a simulation anyway, let's try 1 and see what happens."

Lin Ye finishes speaking and chooses 1 directly.

[Hearing that you are willing to join, Fionn is overjoyed, and your good friend Diarmuid gives you a big hug.]

[Third year: You and Diarmuid fight side by side, and both of your strengths improve. In the same year, Fionn's wife passes away from illness.]

[Fourth year, June 9th: The Mountain Ash Palace incident breaks out. Fionn and most of the Fianna Knights, including his son and grandson, are trapped in the Mountain Ash Palace. Only you and Diarmuid are left outside. So you choose:]

[Option 1: Tell Diarmuid that the Mountain Ash Palace is impregnable, and a country cannot go a day without a king. Take Diarmuid back to Celtic and support him in becoming king!]

[Option 2: Help Diarmuid quell the rebellion and rescue Fionn together.]

"Choose 1!" Lin Ye wants to choose 1 so badly. Now that Fionn's son and grandson are trapped inside, choosing 1 means that with his and Diarmuid's strength, they could almost certainly become the kings of this country!

However, this person is Diarmuid!

"Should I try it? What if the simulator AI isn't that smart?"

Lin Ye thinks this and chooses 1 directly.

And at the same time, on Diarmuid's side:

[Faced with this crisis, your best friend Lin Ye suggests to you that a country cannot go a day without a king. You choose:]

[Option 1: Agree. Are kings and nobles born with high status?]

[Option 2: Reject. A knight's duty is loyalty!]

"Choose 2!" Diarmuid doesn't hesitate.

Seeing that Diarmuid indeed refused, Lin Ye sighs helplessly. As for why he didn't let Lin Ye become king himself? There's no way; he's an outsider, and it's impossible for him to gain support.

And the story in Diarmuid's eyes changes as well.

[Fourth year, June 10th: You successfully defeat Midac and arrive before the Mountain Ash Palace. Fionn tells you that this palace is impregnable and can only be touched by the blood of the three Greek kings. Thus, you have no choice but to crusade against the three kings!]

[Fourth year, June 11th: The three kings learn that Fionn is trapped in the Mountain Ash Palace, and they immediately lead a thousand Fairyland warriors to arrive!]

[The strength of each Fairyland warrior is no less than a low-level Heroic Spirit, but you and Lin Ye are fearless!]

[You stand shoulder to shoulder, wielding your weapons, cutting down one enemy after another. During the battle, Lin Ye's weapon breaks. At the critical moment, you throw the Gáe Buidhe and Gáe Dearg to Lin Ye, while you continue to fight with the cursed yellow rose and the angry waves!]

[Finally, the thousand Fairyland warriors are slaughtered by you. Your bodies are covered in blood, but you still use the weapons in your hands to cut off the heads of the three kings one by one!]

"Well done!"

Diarmuid is so excited he could jump up. He clicks on the detailed description of this day! Watching the momentum of the two of them fighting side by side against the three kings and a thousand Fairyland warriors, he can hardly control his inner excitement!

"Lin Ye! You truly are worthy of being my comrade-in-arms!"
