Chapter 47

Ten minutes ago, FZ world, Lin Ye's house.

Lin Ye looks at the virtual screen in his mind and starts the life simulation.

【First day: You arrive in Gaul. You hear from passersby that King Arthur has built Camelot, so you decide to rush there.】

【Second day: You arrive in Camelot, but you find that the knight tournament has already ended. To become a knight, you need to wait until next year or find someone to recommend you, so you feel very disappointed.】

This is because Lin Ye doesn't know that the simulation is online yet. He thinks the King doesn't know him yet, so he feels disappointed. Otherwise, with Lin Ye's personality, he would have gone directly to the King.

Lin Ye continues to watch.

【Just when you are sighing helplessly, a man beside you is also sighing. You learn from his muttering that he is also a knight who came to rely on King Arthur but missed the time, having traveled all the way from Saracen only to be a step late. The moment you see him, you suddenly come up with a plan and quietly pull him aside and say,】

"King Arthur needs true knights. Why don't we have a fight at the city gate? If we prove our strength, King Arthur will naturally come out."

【The other party nods at your suggestion, and you also learn the other party's name: Palamedes!】

"Palamedes! The ninth seat of the Round Table Knights!"

Lin Ye recognizes this knight's identity immediately. Palamedes, also translated as Palomides, is one of the strongest twelve Round Table Knights under King Arthur in the future. He is noble in character but uses unscrupulous means in battle and likes to duel with others.

Among the thirteen constraints of the Holy Sword, "must be a one-on-one battle" is his. However, in the Fate world, it only appeared in the background story for the time being.

It was when he was summoned by the Lion King in FGO Chapter 6, but because he didn't agree with the Lion King's point of view, he resisted the Lion King together with Kay, Percival, Gaheris, and Pellinore, and was finally purged by the Lion King.

"Met an acquaintance right away. Not bad, not bad."

Lin Ye is very satisfied. When simulating Diarmuid before, the final rewards were either from Diarmuid or Fionn; thinking about it, it was all quite stingy.

Look at King Arthur; these characters are popping out one after another. The worst are four-star... well, that cute girl Gareth is two-star, embarrassing in daily life.

【So, your battle with Palamedes becomes more and more intense. Sure enough, you attract King Arthur and Bedivere. Seeing the strength of the two of you, Artoria directly recruits Palamedes into the Knights. However, you are appointed by her as a court mage and kept by her side.】

Lin Ye...

Huh??

Please! Don't you see I'm holding such a long spear? Why is the position still court mage? Isn't this the same position as the last simulation?

Lin Ye sighs helplessly. But forget it, this isn't important. As long as he can successfully approach the target character, isn't that enough?

And at this moment, in the Camelot Palace, seeing Lin Ye agree, the King also shows a gratified smile.

"Lin Qing, don't worry. This time, I won't let you die before me again."

The King continues to watch silently. In the last simulation, she passed this year smoothly because of "foresight," so she must pay close attention this time.

【Third day: During the day, you continue to let Lin Ye follow Merlin to learn magecraft. At night, after you finish handling government affairs, you start your daily sword practice. You think of how Lin Ye died because of insufficient strength last time, so you decide to teach Lin Ye sword techniques personally.】

【However, in the battle, you discover that Lin Ye's close-combat ability is no weaker than yours. It's just that his body attributes aren't high, but they are far beyond ordinary knights. You are greatly shocked. So you arrange for Lin Ye to be the Chief Knight Instructor, responsible for teaching new knights spear techniques.】

【Fourth day: Handling government affairs, sword practice.】

【Fifth day: Handling government affairs, sword practice.】

【33rd day: Handling government affairs, sword practice.】

The King's simulation during this time is basically the same. After all, a king can't be different every day. But for others, especially these newly joined knights, the simulation content is completely different.

Lin Ye's side.

【Fourth day: You are ordered to come to the barracks. Looking at the newly joined knights in the field, you choose:】

【Option 1: Convince people with virtue. By reasoning and talking about ideals with these knights, you gain everyone's recognition.】

【Option 2: Convince people with virtue. By establishing prestige through powerful strength, you gain everyone's recognition.】

Lin Ye...

Hmm? System, are you sure you didn't make a typo? How come both are "convince people with virtue"? What's the difference? Forget it, that's not the point. The point is the content that follows.

"Is this asking me if I'm going to use my mouth or my hands?" Lin Ye thinks for a moment and then says directly to the system, "As the saying goes, a gentleman uses his mouth, not his hands. System, I choose to use my hands!"

That's right! It's said that a gentleman uses his mouth, not his hands, but I'm not a gentleman, so of course, I'll use my hands!

So, the scene changes.

【You explain your identity to these knights and explain that you will give them special training in the future, and then let the knights who don't submit to you stand out and challenge you. The winner doesn't have to train, and the loser has to be honest.】

【Hearing your words, seven or eight knights stand up on the spot and then lie on the ground on the spot. Prestige +1.】

"Haha! One should look at a person with new eyes after three days of separation. Sure enough, my strength now isn't weak."

It's indeed not weak. First, the Round Table Knights at their peak were only 150 knights. Except for those dozen or so, most were at the level of low-level Heroic Spirits. Secondly, even those who became most famous later aren't very strong now; they haven't become Heroic Spirits, don't have faith support, and don't have many Noble Phantasms. Even if they possess some special abilities, they aren't Lin Ye's match now.

For example, Gawain—his physical fitness is only slightly stronger than Lin Ye's. He hasn't obtained Excalibur Galatine, and he isn't wearing the Belt of Bertilak. Even with the blessing of the Saint's Numbers, he couldn't be the match of Lin Ye, who is fully equipped now.

As for the only one who could defeat Lin Ye now, it's Percival, who holds the Spear of Longinus. However, his personality is indifferent and noble, so he naturally wouldn't stand out to provoke Lin Ye.

【Fifth day: You lead everyone to train during the day and learn magecraft with Merlin at night.】

【Sixth day: Same as above.】

【Seventh day: Same as above.】

【...】

【Eighth day: While you are training these knights, you notice a pair of young boy and girl in the corner of the training ground, always looking at you with longing eyes, so you come to them.】

【You learn their names are Gareth and Gaheris from their mouths, so you decide to let them train with you as an exception. The two are extremely grateful to you.】

"Percival, Palamedes, Bedivere, the four Gawain brothers—plus Kay, who has been with the King since childhood—eight of the twelve seats of the Round Table have appeared. The rest should be appearing soon, right?"
