Merlin's Campaign; An Xiu, the Prophesied Hero / Artoria Swears Her Allegiance; Darkness Is Shocked

"Even if what Ms. Chris said just now is not entirely true, but she is hiding something, I believe that Ms. Chris has her own reasons."

"Ahem, I'd better leave such foul excuses to those little girls who are easy to deceive, but they are of no use to cunning thieves."

"I'm very serious."

"..."

Chris held her forehead with a headache. Now she only felt that An Xiu in front of her was a problem child, and she felt a little more uneasy.

Can such a character really grow up smoothly in this different world to the other party?

Why, as the goddess in charge of luck, do I rarely come into contact with normal people?

While Chris was having a headache, An Xiu also took this opportunity to glance at the hall of Adventurer guild in front of him.

The entire guild was very clean, carrying a large amount of various equipment, and Adventurer in different clothes sat at the table drinking and chatting. From time to time, there were female staff members in work clothes interspersed among them. The bulletin wall not far away was filled with various commissions and several recruitment information for the Adventurer team.

Moreover, in addition to Chris in front of him, An Xiu also saw some other familiar faces in the hall of the Adventurer guild.

For example, the two Crimson Demon Clan girls, Yunyun and Megumin, who are sitting in the corner and looking at the Adventurer team recruitment information from time to time, or Sato Kazuma and Aqua who are wearing workers' overalls and come to relax temporarily after working all morning.

Counting the Chris in front of me, except for Darkness who is friends with Chris and the lich Wiz who is a cadre of the Demon King (anti-sensitivity) army and is currently opening a prop shop in Axel, all the plot characters for the current period of Axel should have arrived.

Moreover, since Sato Kazuma and Aqua are still in the work stage, that means it will still be some time before the plot officially begins.

"Speaking of which, from the very beginning I saw a lot of Adventurers drinking in the lobby and then going directly to the second floor of the guild. Why is this?"

Just listen to An Xiu asking Chris in front of you.

Anyway, I came to the guild to inquire about information. In that case, wouldn't it be better to ask Chris, who is a local, directly? It would also save An Xiu from having to ask others.

"You're talking about this. This is because Kingdom of Belzerg promulgated a new law not long ago. Considering the financial difficulties of some Adventurer who came to the Adventurer guild to register far away from their hometowns, as long as they complete the Adventurer registration and register the information with the guild, they can enjoy the free dormitory provided by the Adventurer guild."

"Although it is a collective dormitory, the conditions are not as good as a hotel, but at least it is better than sleeping in a stable, and there are also the most basic separation of male and female dormitories. Many Adventurer who are not in a good financial situation will choose to live in the Adventurer guild's dormitory, thereby saving part of the accommodation fee."

"This decree is said to have been promoted by Miss Artoria, a member of the Kingdom of Belzerg royal family and the only candidate for the next position as king."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Chris's answer, An Xiu suddenly showed an interested expression.

You know, he came to the Adventurer guild not only to confirm the plot time, but also to find out the news about Artoria and Meli.

"I don't know who it is, but is this royal member named Artoria very powerful?"

"Why is she pushing this decree? Is it to gain support from the Adventurer group so she can better run for the throne?"

However, in response, Chris just looked at An Xiu with a strange expression.

"Why does Miss Artoria need the support of the Adventurer group? Didn't I just say that Miss Artoria is the only candidate for the next throne of Kingdom of Belzerg."

"But logically speaking, there should be more than one member of the royal family. Why is Artoria, according to Miss Chris, the only candidate?"

"Of course it's because the other royal family members were impressed by Miss Artoria's charm and voluntarily withdrew from the competition."

Chris, who had already regarded An Xiu as the reincarnation, did not doubt An Xiu's performance as a deliberate cliché. After all, it was normal for An Xiu, who had lived in other worlds before, not to know the situation in this world.

Therefore, in the face of An Xiu's curiosity, Chris patiently listed in detail the achievements of Artoria, a member of the Kingdom of Belzerg royal family, in this world.

Externally, He led the Royal Army to defeat the Demon King's army, single-handedly severely damaged the Demon King's daughter and many Demon King (anti-sensitivity) army cadres, led Kingdom of Belzerg to counterattack the Demon King's army, and defeated the main force of the Demon King's army. The head-hugging rat is scurrying around, and its terrifying strength has even made the top leaders of the Demon King (Anti-Sensitive) Army publicly declare that they are invincible. The royal family is too strong. What kind of monsters are there like Braver?

Internally, they overcame all objections and handed over most affairs to Meli, the current chief court mage of the kingdom, who has Nightmare fairy blood and whose origin is a mystery and is known as the great sage. One of them is in charge of the outside and the other is in charge of the inside, and the entire kingdom is managed in an orderly manner.

Nowadays, the old king is in a semi-retired state, and other members of the royal family admire Artoria's character and ability and have withdrawn from the competition. It can be said that although he does not have the name of a king, now Artoria has the reality of a king.

In response, An Xiu couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that Artoria and Meli still kept his master's words in mind, otherwise even with the identity and background blessing given by the system, they would not be able to completely confirm them in just over half a month.

Especially Meli, because of the order of An Xiu, he changed his image of being disdainful of women, and managed the entire kingdom with Artoria without any manipulation or manipulation, and completely controlled the power of the entire country.

When you go to find them later, you must reward them severely!

"Then, now that you are all here, let's register for an identity of Adventurer."

After all, it is the characteristic of the KonoSuba world. An Xiu planned to form his own Adventurer team from the very beginning when he came to this world.

After speaking to Chris in front of me, An Xiu came to the registration counter and explained his purpose to the staff there.

"You need to register Adventurer, right? The fee is 2000 Eris... Okay, then please indicate your name."

I just heard the lady staff at the counter ask.

"An Xiu."

"Okay, Mr. An Xiu, right? It's such a rare name..."

Hearing this, the staff member at the counter nodded, and then raised her head as if she suddenly heard some incredible name.

"Wait, you mean your name is An Xiu?"

"You just said that this name is rare, so it should be no accident."

Although I don't know why the staff member in front of me suddenly reacted so badly, An Xiu still answered.

Under the gaze of An Xiu, after listening to his answer, the lady at the counter suddenly took a deep breath, as if to calm her inner emotions.

But then, she shouted with excitement.

"Braver! According to the prophecy of the sage, Braver who can lead them to completely defeat the Demon King appears!!!"

Suddenly, everyone in the Adventurer Guild Hall was stunned, and then immediately stood up with equally excited faces.

"What? Did the prophesied Braver actually appear?!"

"It can't be wrong. The prediction made by the chief palace master True Magic Master Meli can't be wrong!"

"It is said that the chief True Magic master of the palace, Master Meli, has a pair of eyes that can see through everything. It was she who discovered Master Artoria's talent back then."

"Great, the end of the Demon King's (anti-sensitivity) army is coming!"

"Wait a minute, people from the Kingdom are coming!"

Looking at the Adventurer guild hall that was suddenly boiling around, and the Kingdom personnel who rushed here after receiving the news not far away, since they didn't know what happened specifically, but they could probably guess that Meli had done a big job for him, An Xiu turned to look at Chris behind him.

"So, do you know what this is, Miss Chris?"

PS: I'm convinced. Since I became the author of Hedgehog Cat, I feel like I can always get to know a lot of big names inadvertently.

Chapter 216: Meli's momentum building, the predicted Braver An Xiu

"In the kingdom, there is a prophecy that is widely circulated."

"Legend has it that the current chief True Magic teacher of the palace, who once served as Miss Artoria's teacher and is known as the sage, Miss Meli, once said that in the near future, a noble Braver will come to this world. He will lead the world to completely defeat the devil, quell all disputes in the world, and bring long-term peace to the world."

"However, the real name of Braver, who has not yet arrived, is unknown to the world. It is said that except for Miss Meli and Miss Artoria, only a few people are qualified to know her real name."

"Ms. Luna, who previously applied for your Adventurer identity, should be one of the few who were lucky enough to be an insider due to work reasons, so she was able to recognize your identity."

Located in a luxurious reception room of Adventurer guild, Chris told An Xiu about the previous situation.

To put it simply, due to unknown reasons, Meli used his status as the chief court True Magic master of the kingdom to operate a name Braver for An Xiu in this world. Therefore, without An Xiu's prior knowledge and thus revealing his real name, the kingdom personnel who had been assigned to Axel immediately respectfully invited An Xiu, who was not even an ordinary Adventurer in this world, to this luxurious reception room.

As for Chris, because he stayed with An Xiu, he was regarded as An Xiu's companion and was also invited here.

All I can say is that she is indeed the female version of Merlin who created the Legend of the King/Sword of Choice in the original work of Xingyue. She is really professional in creating momentum.

Not only were ordinary people in this world stunned by the deception, but even Chris, whose real identity was the goddess Eris in front of An Xiu, seemed quite interested in this.

After all, although it is unclear about the strength of An Xiu, the rumored Braver who can bring peace to the world in the future, Eris, who is a goddess, is still quite clear about the strength of Artoria.

To be honest, based on Eris's personal feeling, she felt that Braver was not needed at all. Miss Artoria's strength alone was enough to sweep across the entire demon clan, defeat the demon king, and completely suppress the demon king/army.

Although due to the marriage with Braver and even Braver candidates for generations, the royal family of Kingdom of Belzerg has a very powerful power, but even in this case, the strength of Miss Artoria is still exceptional among the royal family.

Relying on the identity of the goddess, Eris once watched the battle between Artoria and the demon king/army. In terms of the process, it can only be described as devastating.

The rumor that Artoria single-handedly defeated the Demon King/Army and all the Demon King/Army cadres is actually not accurate. Strictly speaking, it should be that the entire Demon King/Army main force plus all the Demon King/Army cadres were crushed easily.

With such strength, Eris feels that Artoria, who is in the royal capital, can rival Heavenly Realm, God, who is in charge of the battle priesthood.

This is not a situation like Aqua, where most of the divine power is sealed, or a clone like Eris, which is in the lower realm, but a genuine one that can show great power comparable to God.

Coupled with the fact that Miss Meli also feels very extraordinary, it can be said that the strength of Braver is not important in the prophecy of An Xiu. What is important is that An Xiu can get the support of Artoria and Meli.

In Chris's view, with the support of these two people, even if An Xiu in front of him is just an ordinary person, he can still realize the prophecy of defeating the Demon King's army and bringing long-term peace to the world.

"I really didn't expect that you are the Braver in the prophecy, and you could be bumped into by me by such a coincidence. Well, as expected of me, you are really lucky."

This sentence is not that Chris is boasting. You must know that as the goddess in charge of luck, Chris in the original work is even more exaggerated in terms of luck than Sato Kazuma, who is the protagonist and is only outstanding in luck.

This can be seen from the fact that Sato Kazuma never beat Chris in the original book.

"So what's going to happen next? Besides having another Braver title, will this thing bring me any benefits?"

Knowing that Meli's arrangement should not be as simple as building momentum for himself and giving himself the title of Braver, An Xiu asked Chris.

In response, Chris also shook his head.

"I don't know about this, but since it is the prophecy made by Miss Meli, the chief palace master True Magic, then there is a high probability that you will be sent to the royal capital next?"

Dong dong dong...

Just as Chris finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. After receiving permission to enter, several respectful Kingdom personnel came to An Xiu and Chris and told them that they would escort them to the royal capital to meet with Lord Artoria and Lord Meli.

I can only say that it is indeed Chris. The intuition can be described as amazing.

An Xiu did not resist going to the royal capital. Anyway, he originally planned to go to Artoria and Meli.

As for experiencing the features of the KonoSuba world, forming the Adventurer team, etc., you can wait until you come back to the royal capital. Anyway, the plot has not officially started yet, and An Xiu is not in a hurry.

However, although An Xiu had no response, Chris had different opinions.

"Huh? Wait, why do you want me to go to the capital with you?"

"Aren't you a companion of Lord Braver? In that case, isn't it normal to follow Lord Braver to the capital?"

After hearing the answers from the Kingdom personnel, Chris suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

"No, no, no, you made a mistake from the beginning. I just saw Mr. An Xiu as a new arrival, so I wanted to give Mr. An Xiu some help, so we happened to meet him. I have a companion in Axel."

"This is not easy. Wouldn't it be nice to bring your companion with you?"

So, an hour later, Darkness, who still didn't know what happened, was forced to join the team with a confused look on his face, and then everyone headed for the royal city surrounded by an elite team of the kingdom who had been stationed at Axel in advance.

During this period, Chris in the carriage also explained the current situation to Darkness with a look of helplessness.

"So you are the legendary Braver? It's a great honor to meet you."

Without revealing his true nature, Darkness still looks quite elegant in his serious state. The nobility and elegance unique to the nobility match the upright style of the knight himself, as well as the exquisite face and tone that give people a cold feeling in front of outsiders. The uninformed person will have a desire to conquer the knight in front of him at a glance.

However, his nature is an incurable tremor.

Chapter 217: Artoria's allegiance, Darkness's shock

"Master Braver, we have arrived at the royal capital."

The carriage slowly stopped in the royal capital, and An Xiu, Chris and Darkness also got off the carriage.

"It's finally here, I feel like my body is about to fall apart."

After getting off the carriage, Chris moved his body and said.

As a typical medieval-style world, the experience of riding a carriage all the way from Axel to the royal capital is obviously not very good.

An Xiu and Darkness didn't feel much difference, but as thieves, Chris, whose physical fitness was weaker than the two, was a bit unbearable.

"Then we will invite you to follow us to the palace. After meeting Mr. Artoria, someone will arrange a place for you to rest."

Under the leadership of the kingdom personnel, An Xiu, Chris, and Darkness, who were somewhat resistant to coming to the royal capital, but became formal as soon as they approached the palace, entered the palace.
