Am I Solomon?

After hearing Gawain's words, Rovey Wei responded sarcastically, but just a second later, he seemed to sense something, and his keen senses clearly detected a strong threat coming from afar in the city.

--clang!!

The sound of an invisible sonic blade colliding with a magical barrier suddenly rang in my ears, and dazzling magical sparks flew everywhere. At that moment, the red-haired youth who had just launched the sneak attack also stepped out from the corner with his longbow.

"Still the same old tricks, Tristan. Can't you come up with something new?" Rovey said calmly.

"You're really tough to deal with. Even a sudden sneak attack didn't stop you from dodging it. You're a real disappointment..."

Tristan frowned slightly, his fingers already on the bowstring, ready to launch another attack.

"I had intended to end this farce by ambushing you and granting you a painless death. But it seems that won't work. Now I have no choice but to kill you by force. Although doing so will undoubtedly result in me suffering the King's Holy Punishment, I absolutely will not allow such a despicable creature as you to defile the King and shake his will!!"

Tristan's tone was feigned distress, but he himself was not at all bothered by killing Rovey.

For him, killing Rovey was clearly the best option, as the guy had already destroyed the city.

"Hmm? Are you jealous because the Lion King is paying too much attention to me? Tristan, you look like a naughty kid who takes his anger out on other students because he doesn't get the teacher's attention."

"Perhaps, but even so, I will not allow your existence to continue to shake the king's will."

Tristan's tone was firm, and he made no attempt to conceal his murderous intent.

With just a flick of his finger, several invisible sonic blades had already reduced the pavilion where Rovey was to ruins, but Rovey still easily dodged them.

"Your jealousy is truly hideous, Tristan. If you're looking for a beating, I wouldn't mind teaching you a lesson so you can properly confront your ugly, twisted heart."

At this point, Rovey was also a little angry. He raised his hand, ready to teach the guy in front of him a lesson, but before the two could fight, Gawain stepped in between them.

"Tristan, that's enough! The Queen said Crowley was her invited guest, and you shouldn't be so rude! Besides, he has a close relationship with the Lion King as well, and I cannot allow you to hurt him."

Whether it was on the orders of the Lion King or for the sake of the happiness of the other King Arthur, Sir Gawain, felt it was necessary to intervene in time to prevent the two from fighting.

"Gawain..."

Although Tristan was unwilling to be stopped by Gawain's body, his murderous intent intensified when he heard that Gawain had a close relationship with another king.

To defile one king is already a capital offense, yet you dare to defile two at the same time?

This guy deserves to be torn to pieces!!

"What's wrong with this guy? Why is he so murderous today?"

Noticing the increasingly intense killing intent emanating from Tristan, Rovey couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Although they were enemies, and it's quite common for enemies to hate each other, he always felt that there seemed to be some other different emotions mixed in with Tristan's behavior.

"Tristan, what's wrong?"

Seeing Tristan, who usually brooded and isolated himself in his room, suddenly display such murderous intent today, Gawain couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Get out of the way, Gawain, this guy has to die!"

"No, Crowley is my friend, and he is irreplaceable to the King. So as long as he is under my protection, I will absolutely not allow you to harm him today, Tristan."

Gawain drew his sword and stood between Rovey and Tristan, his aura clearly indicating that he would not allow the two to fight.

"This is so sad, Gawain. You have no idea what this guy has affected."

"... What impact did it have?"

Gawain shook his head slightly and replied, "This question is meaningless to me. Anyway, I'm just a knight guarding the city gate. Let Agravaine worry about the troublesome things."

"Then go see for yourself!"

Having understood Gawain's meaning, Tristan stopped trying to kill Rovey. He tossed the Lion King's Oracle to Gawain and was about to turn and leave.

However, just before he was about to leave—

Boom!!!

A large crater suddenly appeared where Tristan had been standing.

After the thick smoke cleared, Tristan, who had been struck unconscious, was seen lying motionless in the Yamcha pose.

"Tristan ..."

Gawain watched as the man was knocked unconscious by the beam of light right in front of him and couldn't help but feel worried.

Because he recognized it as the king's Holy Punishment.

This is clearly the Lion King's punishment for Tristan's unauthorized actions.

However, Tristan was still very strong, and such power would at most only render him immobile, not kill him. So Gawain decided to first see what had happened to make Tristan so agitated that he disobeyed orders and lost his composure.

"..."

After opening the file and glancing at its contents, Gawain couldn't help but have a series of question marks appear above his head.

"???"

He then closed the file and opened it again. He couldn't help but look at Rovey standing beside him, his bright eyes filled with doubt.

At that moment, he suddenly realized why Tristan had been acting so irrationally.

Not to mention Tristan, even he couldn't help but reprimand Rovey after seeing the contents of this document, especially after he learned about Rovey's relationship with another king.

What should I do?

Gawain began to struggle internally.

"What's wrong, Gawain?"

Noticing Gawain's drastic change in emotion, Rovey couldn't help but ask.

"No, no... it's nothing..."

Gawain's expression became extremely conflicted, and then he hesitated before saying, "It was the Lion King who sent you to the palace to find her..."

"Go to her bedchamber to find her? Has she finally remembered me?"

"Ah... yes, yes, the Lion King remembered you."

Gawain's expression was extremely conflicted. He then reached out his hand and stammered, "Um... Crowley, you... um... about the King..."

"Huh? What did I do now? Don't beat around the bush, just say it."

"No, it's nothing..."

"So, do you have your own understanding of Camelot now?"

Because he really didn't know what to say, Gawain could only change the subject in the end.

"You asked about that? In three days, I've figured out almost everything I wanted to know, and I now have my own understanding and perspective on this city."

Rovey glanced at the spotless white street, which remained completely empty and deserted, and he already knew the answer.

Although it's called Avalon, it's only Avalon in terms of material life. As a god, the Lion King can use magic to bestow countless foods and shelters upon this city, but spiritually, it was wrong from the very beginning...

The people of this city are more living than simply existing.

It exists simply to live.

Living in this city, most people seem to be in a dreamlike illusion, completely devoid of the real feeling of being alive, and lacking clear and firm goals deep in their hearts. Day after day, they simply repeat mechanical routines, like machines programmed to run numbly.

For them, the reversal and chaos of day and night is not the root cause of their lethargy. In fact, they don't care whether the alternation of day and night follows a regular order, as if the passage of time has nothing to do with them.

If one had to describe it, this so-called sacred place, from a distance, does indeed appear magnificent and grand, like a paradise on earth. However, when you approach it and delve into it, you will find that its interior is empty, like a hollow shell with no real substance.

It can be said that this city lost its future from the very beginning, losing the most important future for humanity.

Ultimately, she was nothing more than a deity. The continuation she spoke of was not walking, but a different kind of eternal sleep, just as Tiamat sought.

Although her initial intentions were good, Rovey was certain that even if the Lion King did restart Human Order in his own way at some point, it would still be a problem.

Therefore, the Human Order she constructs is absolutely flawed, devoid of hope and future, and will gradually detach itself from the concept of Human Order, merely a delusion existing only by relying on the Holy Lance.

—The Sixth Singularity.

Rather than calling it a Singularity, Rovey prefers to call it Lostbelt within Singularity.

Although there is no Fantasy Tree, the Tower of the End serves a similar purpose.

The only difference is that The Lion King was not completed yet, so this mystery was left to take shape before being cut out.

Having confirmed so much here and studied the Tower of the End up close, Rovey had his answer and was ready to leave. However, before that, he still wanted to see the Lion King one last time, and then talk, or rather, declare war.

Her ideals were just empty talk, at best merely her own delusions and fantasies.

Next, he would try to wake her from her reverie, just as he had done when he first woke Sleeping Beauty.

However, Rovey didn't quite understand why the Lion King would ask him to go to his bedchamber. Shouldn't it be the royal palace?

However, Rovey didn't think too much about it, since it didn't matter to him where he was.

"Remember to take a shower before you go, Crowley."

Gawain didn't forget to give a reminder.

"Take a bath? Hmm, is such a ritual required before entering the palace?"

"Ah... yes, that's right, you have to wash yourself before entering the palace."

Gawain began to spout nonsense with a straight face.

"That's a strange etiquette, but I understand."

Rovey was somewhat surprised, but considering that this might be Camelot's etiquette, or perhaps the Lion King's obsession with cleanliness as a deity, he didn't refuse and planned to just find a pool of water, rinse off, and move on.

"Okay, fine, Crowley, well, you... good luck."

"???"

These seemingly random words left Rovey somewhat bewildered; he had a feeling that the gorilla was hiding something from him.

"Clang--!!"

However, just as he was about to ask for clarification before setting off to see the Lion King, a piercing sound suddenly echoed over Camelot.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Rovey frowned.

Upon hearing the sound, Gawain's expression turned extremely serious.

"This is..."

Rovey didn't speak, but just frowned and gazed at the distant sky.

Gawain also looked in that direction and was immediately stunned. The once clear sky had changed without him noticing.

Thick black fog drifted from the distant sky, crackling with crimson lightning, splitting the sky in two like a tidal wave. One side was a clear blue sky, the other a patch of black fog and crimson lightning—a scene of apocalypse.

"They're here again..."

With just one glance, Gawain immediately understood what was going on.

"It's a demon..."

This pure malice is unmistakable, especially considering the curse that Lionheart King once uttered.

King Arthur has returned, and the malice and resentment in this land have reached an uncontrollable level, so the demons have truly returned once again.

"Leave it to me. You go to the palace to find the Lion King, or find a safe place to hide first."

Gawain's words were extremely concise. Then, as he walked, he drew his sword and headed towards the city gate.

Demon...

Lionheart King?

Rovey couldn't help but be a little concerned. Rather than going to the palace to find the Lion King, he wanted to see how far the calamity that had been brewing in this land had progressed and how it should be dealt with afterward.

With that in mind, he decided to ignore the Lion King and go out with Gawain to see what was going on.

Chapter 198 Am I Solomon?

As Rovey followed Gawain straight toward the city gate, many Purification Knights were already lined up and ready.

Because they are not made of human flesh and blood, they do not need to rest or eat, nor do they possess many of the complex behaviors required by humans. They can stay here on standby at all times, making them an indispensable defensive force for Camelot.

"Didn't I tell you to go find the king, or stay where you are and hide? What are you doing following me?!"

Gawain noticed that Rovey had caught up and scolded him with displeasure.
