Chapter 122

"The Sword in the Stone!"

"This is not just for show," Siegfried said. "It's not an art piece either; it's the Sword in the Stone."

"Therefore, Arthur Pendragon will definitely go and excel again."

"So, she must be somewhere."

"Instead of staying in Sky City," Siegfried asked, "Why not go to London?"

"We'll know soon enough whether it's true or not."

Chapter 149 He's Here

"Hello everyone, this is Gecko's Big Ideas."

"This world has truly gone mad; all sorts of bizarre things are happening all the time. Recently, a video circulating online has sparked heated discussions. A foreign guy created something..."

Here's another video. You can tell from the beginning that this is a veteran marketing account.

Without verification, a single picture can be used to create a story, and without pictures or videos, it's just a story about chicken neck.

Although they are disliked and have been criticized by many people.

They even spread many incorrect views and ideas.

However, it is undeniable that marketing accounts play an important, yet often disliked, role in information dissemination.

One reason why marketing accounts have become an important part of information dissemination is that they satisfy people's thirst for knowledge and curiosity. Unfortunately, this satisfaction is achieved through exaggeration or even fabrication, and when people know the truth, they naturally feel severe disgust and revulsion.

Therefore, marketing accounts are also disliked.

While this time the marketing accounts exaggerated various claims and fabricated all sorts of baseless stories, at least this time they didn't completely deceive people.

At least the story about the sword wasn't a lie.

This is a sword that cannot be pulled from the ground, and a sword that cannot be moved.

What the marketing accounts are saying is true.

Of course, that's not entirely true; at least the vast majority of marketing accounts did not falsify the address of this sword.

How should I put it?

This thing is right here, and there's no way to fake it. Or perhaps some of the sponsors don't want them to fake it.

So this place is easy to find.

"Are you sure?" Redhead pulled down his hat brim and said, "Will MEI really come here?"

He was dressed casually and didn't bring anything with him.

It's best not to reveal yourself until your target appears.

"This..." Siegfried scratched his head.

He was very certain before he left, but after he set off, he wasn't so sure anymore. How to put it? Theoretically, he should come, but in reality, it's hard to say.

"Anyway, I can't draw this sword," Siegfried said. "It's really strange and tricky."

Upon arriving, to determine whether the device was merely a gimmick or genuinely impossible to remove, Siegfried attempted to pull it out. The conclusion he reached was...

This sword might not be just a gimmick.

But is this the legendary sword in the Sword in the Stone?

Siegfried didn't think this thing was the Sword in the Stone.

He had heard about the Sword in the Stone in the Sword in the Stone, and if he remembered correctly, it was in some secret realm. Anti-Entropy's massive investment in exploring this realm, they had gained nothing.

As for Schicksal, if one obtains the sword, one will no longer be in the secret realm.

Could it be that the intelligence was incorrect?

The intelligence agents of Schicksal are much more reliable than those of the Allies.

Perhaps...

"Wait a little longer," Siegfried said. "They should be here. I'll recognize them as soon as they arrive."

"Whether it's Cecilia, Li Pu, or King Arthur."

"Oh... okay." Redhead continued scrolling through videos about the sword on his phone, bored. Aside from the internet celebrities and content creators who came here to check in, there were just a bunch of unreliable marketing accounts.

He tried to pull out the sword, but of course, it was impossible.

They didn't notice anything wrong with the sword.

Siegfried continued to observe all of this.

But he soon noticed a short-haired boy in a sweatshirt and sunglasses leading a pink-haired girl and a blue-haired girl to the sword.

"Hmm?" Siegfried frowned immediately.

"What's wrong?" Redhead noticed Siegfried's expression.

"It feels... like..." Siegfried said uncertainly, "... it's here... right?"

It's here!

Of course he came, Li Pu!

I was debating whether to come as MEI, Cecilia, or King Arthur. I thought about it for a long time.

I decided to use this identity that I haven't used in a long time.

Li Pu.

Or rather, this isn't about identity; this is the real self.

Apart from this, whether it's Mei, Cecilia, or King Arthur, those are all characters I drew. Only this boy named Li Pu...

That is the 'true self'.

"It feels a little strange." Li Pu twisted his arm and tugged at his clothes.

"Big brother?" Rosaliya asked, somewhat confused. "Why did it have to turn out like this?"

"If you're coming to London for fun, there doesn't seem to be much to do here, does it?"

"Rosaliya, don't eat fish and chips!"

"And definitely don't eat the Stargazy Pie!"

She had already witnessed Mei transform into Cecilia and then into the young boy Li Pu she was now. She was no longer surprised that Mei could switch between these identities.

But if she had to say who she most wanted to see, it would be Cecilia.

This boy didn't have Cecilia's warm feeling, nor did he have Mei's calmness that made people feel scared at first glance.

He appeared quite ordinary, except for a face that was... handsome? Or perhaps effeminate?

There doesn't seem to be anything special about it.

Of course, if you remove the gesture of pushing up his glasses, he's even more ordinary.

Yeah, it really is MEI.

Only Cecilia's mom is the most drunkard!

"Is there anything I can't do?" Li Pu withdrew his hand; she... he then realized he wasn't wearing his glasses. He'd been playing the role of Mei for a bit too long.

It should all become a habit.

Hmm... Does MEI have this habit?

Oh well, let's just consider it a habit.

"Big brother?" Liliya said, as if expectantly, "Liliya would like to try British afternoon tea."

"..." Li Pu was speechless.

He suddenly felt that his decision to make these two little brats his bodyguards might have been a mistake, even though they had successfully integrated Apsaras's DNA.

Yes, so far it has lacked the soul of the game.

It refers to the horns and tail.

However, these two should be able to be commanded by oneself and are relatively reliable combat forces.

Yes, that's what I was thinking before I left.

Yes, he mentioned he was going on a mission before he left.

Now, they don't seem to care about the so-called mission at all. After arriving, they seem to be more interested in going somewhere to have fun.

Instead of sending them on missions.

"I'll take you out for something delicious," Li Pu said somewhat helplessly, "But not now, Rosaliya."

"And let's not bring up the 'Stargazy Pie' meme again."

"I don't think the British people nowadays would necessarily eat it."

Hmm, probably...

But this thing seems to be a modern product, right? It's from the near future, and its history doesn't seem to be very long, does it?

"More importantly, it's not afternoon now," Li Pu added. "It's not afternoon tea time, Liliya."

"At the same time, I think of tea and Vodka Girls."

"They don't match at all."

"Hmm!" Rosaliya seemed not to have heard what Li Pu said at all; her attention was now completely focused on the sword in front of Li Pu.

"This! Oh my god! This! Isn't this the legendary Sword in the Stone?"

"Rosaliya will become the Queen of England!"

After saying that, Rosaliya ran off to compete in the top spot with a loud bang!

"That Rosaliya," Li Pu sighed, "Disorganized, undisciplined..."

He glanced again at Liliya, who was pretending to be well-behaved, obedient, and sensible, and then decided to let it go.

"Go if you want," Li Pu said.

Is this good?

Once they said they were going, they actually went.

One good thing about children is that they don't fake what they want to do. Although for children, interests come and go quickly.

But at least when interest is high.

They are still very hardworking.

Use all your strength to pull out the sword!

Li Pu watched from the side.

This is also why he brought Rosaliya and Liliya with him.

Li Pu was keeping a close eye on Rosaliya and Liliya's every move.

Whether it's due to the medication or because he's been playing the role of Mei for too long, Li Pu now feels that his past was... indescribable.

He is a typical example of someone who lacks careful consideration, acts impulsively, and does things on a whim.

Even if there is a system, you don't know what to do.

We didn't even think about how to do it, or how to study the system.

That's true in every sense. I got the system a long time ago, but since it wasn't officially launched, I didn't pay attention to it. I didn't even think about studying it; I just followed the tasks assigned by the system.

Looking back now, I wonder if I'm becoming a puppet of the system.

One thousand and one days!

The last three years!

This didn't happen in just one or two days; it's been almost three years since I've been able to find a single job. Even temporary work is impossible!

I bumped into Mei by accident, picked up her wallet, and then accidentally pushed her... This was truly an accident!
