Chapter 230
Land of Shadows, Scáthach.
"How long has Lin Ye been gone?"
Scáthach looks blankly at the virtual screen before her. After Lin Ye left, she returned to her usual calm life.
However, it is easy to go from frugal to luxurious, but difficult to go from luxurious to frugal. For Scáthach, the previous calm life is indeed a bit difficult.
【Second year, January: You are still living an ordinary life in the Land of Shadows. Suddenly, a loud noise comes, the gate of the Land of Shadows opens directly, and immediately after, three huge black shadows appear.】
【All the undead suddenly kneel on the ground, while you, thinking a powerful enemy is invading, hold the remaining long spear and rush out.】
【However, after you reach the city gate, you discover that the three huge black shadows are exactly the Gáe Bolgs, and on these three giant beasts, Lin Ye's figure is standing there. Seeing you, he pats the Gáe Bolg beneath him and says, "Three Gáe Bolgs, making three spears from the skulls is no problem, right? For the remaining bones, what do you say about making three sets of armor?"】
"This guy... still knows how to come back." Scáthach smiles looking at Lin Ye before her. She doesn't notice that her tone is a bit unusual now.
【Looking at Lin Ye before you, you confirm he is not injured before asking in a tone with a bit of helplessness and reproach, "You actually left alone without saying a word. Is what you sought just these few spears? Or..."】
【Scáthach obviously thinks of something, but her expression dims as she says silently, "Forget it, no need to say it. Saying it has no meaning. Even if you said it, how could I fulfill your wish?"】
【"Why not say it?" However, Lin Ye looks at you stubbornly and says to you, "What I seek is you, an existence I cannot seek, so why can I not seek it?"】
"Lin Ye..." Scáthach looks at Lin Ye helplessly.
【Looking at the stubborn Lin Ye before you, you say directly to him, "I have never thought about forming bonds with people. I am a person who has lost the concept of death. Unless the inner and outer sides of this world are destroyed together, I will live on forever. And you are human; do you have the confidence to accompany me until that day?"】
【"I do." Lin Ye says without hesitation. He takes the elixir of immortality from his bosom. "This is the elixir of immortality. I have the confidence to accompany you until the end of the world, and, only I, can accompany you!】
【Until the end of the world!!"】
"Arrogant!"
The Master has already lost count of how many times she has said these two words, but she still can't help but say them.
She has to admit that every time she says these two words, Lin Ye uses his actions to prove to her that he is not arrogant, just stating facts one after another.
【Listening to Lin Ye's words, you smile beautifully, then say:】
【"Very well, you have won against me twice. Now, you are the Lord of the Land of Shadows, but if you want to truly become my man, then, defeat me fair and square."】
【Listening to your words, you think Lin Ye will retreat in the face of difficulty, however, he says with extreme firmness, "It's a deal."】
【Listening to Lin Ye's words, you also reveal a smile, then say, "It's a deal!"】
"I hope you can really do it." Scáthach smiles watching this scene.
Lin Ye is the first man to make her heart flutter. Hopefully, he won't let her down.
【Second year, February: Lin Ye crafts the Gáe Bolgs into three Gáe Bolgs and three sets of sea beast armor. He gives one set to you, and you accept it gladly.】
【Second year, March: Lin Ye constantly works hard to train his spear techniques and magecraft. However, on this day, a man with an extremely robust figure comes to the Land of Shadows. He carries a spiral greatsword on his shoulder, points to the gate of the Land of Shadows, and shouts, "Where is Lin Ye! Where is Scáthach! The King of Ulster! Fergus mac Róich has come to challenge you!"】
"Fergus mac Róich? Xiao Gang?" Lin Ye is stunned for a moment; he has already recognized the man's identity.
Fergus, isn't this the Saber Fergus in FGO, Cú Chulainn's foster father, the King of Ulster, the pillar of the Red Branch Knights?
As for the sword in his hand, Caladbolg.
Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Army Noble Phantasm.
The prototype of Excalibur, Fergus once used this sword to shave off three hills!
"However... how did Xiao Gang come here? Shouldn't he be out wandering? And no version has ever said Fergus came to the Land of Shadows..."
Lin Ye doesn't know that Xiao Gang came here actually because of him.
The thing is, Fergus, the original King of Ulster, fell in love with a woman. This woman was actually his sister-in-law, so this woman told him she could marry him, but Fergus had to agree to let her child become the King of Ulster.
Fergus actually agreed! God damn it, he agreed! I have no opinion on you loving beauty over the country, but isn't your goal set wrong!
Then, Fergus left Ulster, and that child became the King of Ulster, which was Conchobar.
Then, Fergus wandered to Connacht.
He fell in love with the beautiful Medb at first sight, however, Medb rejected his courtship. Then, Medb directly erected a stone tablet in Connacht with three requirements written on it:
First: Anyone who wants to propose to Medb must take the corpses of the three Gáe Bolgs as a betrothal gift.
