Chapter 69

However, Lan Ze was not in the mood to appreciate it; he simply sighed softly to himself.

If Mother of All were just once or twice, it wouldn't be a problem, but if it happened a few more times... he really couldn't take it anymore.

Do you understand Lan Ze's pain?!

"I'll just have to restrain myself for now..." Lan Ze thought to himself.

He was indeed a little afraid of Tiamat's punishment.

Imagine you're playing a game, and suddenly you feel a surge of pleasure, accompanied by a jolt, and then suddenly it all becomes boring...

If it were indoors like today, it would be fine, but if it happened during a fight... well, that would be hilarious.

"Oh right, system?" Lan Ze suddenly called out in his mind.

"System Mom?!"

"Please speak frankly, host," the system replied.

"After I abandoned the mission in Uruk, was the punishment I received done by you?" Lan Ze asked.

"The system penalized you for abandoning the mission, but you completed another mission after abandoning the mission, so the reward and penalty canceled each other out," the system's cold voice replied.

"So, my luck problem really wasn't your doing..." Lan Ze gazed thoughtfully at Artoria's flawless face. The woman seemed to trust him quite a bit, as she was sleeping soundly, her thick, curled eyelashes gently draped over her eyelids, making her look extremely beautiful in her sleep.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you," Lan Ze said.

Just as Aika had guessed, his luck stat had absolutely nothing to do with the system; it was all the work of some unseen mastermind.

However, the system only responded with a cold laugh.

[Task 1: You have developed a desire for King Arthur; take advantage of her moment to kiss her cheek]

[Task 2: You are deeply attracted to King Arthur and fantasize about defying him and stealing his first kiss when he's not looking.]

[Task 3: You are ready to go. Follow your desires, make King Arthur submit to you, and become the King of King of Knights!]

Lan Ze was stunned.

Then, after realizing what had happened, he cursed, "Damn you, system! I have no desires now, is this mission really not something you're doing?!"

However, the system remained completely unresponsive, as if to say: Don't you realize your own limitations?

Lan Ze looked at the three options before him, remained silent for a long time, and then said, "Task 1."

It's not that Lan Ze was acting on his heart, it's just... well, he was acting on his heart, no doubt about it.

Lan Ze gazed at Artoria's face. Back in the Dreamscape, she gave the impression of a teenage girl still developing.

But now she exudes a sexy, mature aura, radiating a regal majesty.

This is probably due to her long-term rule over the kingdom and her battles on the battlefield.

After observing from the shadows for a while, Lan Ze took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Then he slowly leaned forward, and as his breath gently touched Artoria's face, the King of Knights suddenly opened his eyes.

The boy's face, soft black hair, and slightly unhealthy pale skin were reflected in her beautiful emerald eyes. After a moment of mutual gazing, Lan Ze maintained his composure and said:

"Hmm... I think I can explain it--"

Artoria simply hummed in agreement, quietly watching Lan Ze with a nonchalant expression that said, "I'm listening."

Lan Ze glanced at the task that wasn't yet complete, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I want to kiss you."

Artoria blinked, seemingly still not quite understanding.

After a long while, she finally hummed in agreement.

Lan Ze was slightly taken aback. "... Do you know what I just said?"

"It's just a kiss, isn't it?" Artoria smiled faintly. "You don't even need to explain to me. You are my Queen. Is there any reason to explain such a small thing to me?"

"You said it yourself..." Lan Ze no longer hesitated, leaned forward, and quickly kissed Artoria's delicate, fair face. Artoria merely glanced at Lan Ze, her eyes indifferent.

Damn... You're the one who feels awkward when others aren't. The ancients were right... Lan Ze silently complained to himself, feeling the silence in the room, and was thinking about what to say.

Just then, he saw Artoria get up and get out of bed. She turned her head slightly and said, "Close your eyes."

While Lan Ze was closing her eyes, she had already changed her clothes and then left the room.

"Where are you going?" Lan Ze couldn't help but ask.

"There's one last piece of the plan that hasn't been completed yet, and I have to go there now," Artoria said calmly. "You can go out for a walk if you want, but don't leave the palace; you might encounter danger."

After speaking, the astute king left the room.

Only after closing the door did Artoria silently cover her face, and the calm expression she had been suppressing finally slowly turned a lovely blush.

However, Lan Ze didn't see this scene and was still reeling from the shock of realizing that "it turns out I was the only one who took it seriously."

After leaving the room, Artoria went straight to the government office.

The blush on her face hadn't completely faded, making her look even more alluring than usual.

His heart was racing uncontrollably, which made King Arthur walk faster and faster.

I never expected that guy, who usually seemed so gentle, would actually try to kiss her while she was sleeping.

That makes sense, after all, she was the one who tricked him first by publicly making him Queen in the King's Hall at that time.

So, she's actually okay with things like kissing.

But if it were something to go a step further... Artoria suddenly paused, her steps faltering slightly.

If he really suggests something more intimate on their wedding night... will she accept?

She gently shook her head, trying to clear her mind of the jumbled thoughts, then patted her cheeks lightly. Once her mind had completely calmed down, she pushed open the door to the government office.

Several Knights of the Round Table came into view. Their expressions were somewhat solemn, and they did not seem to be in good spirits, clearly because they had not slept well the night before.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry," Gawain was the first to raise his head, smiling somewhat helplessly, "I've already sent people to search, but we haven't found the source of that singing voice in the city yesterday."

After they retreated back into the city yesterday, Artoria ordered a search to find out who had scared Vortigern. A frantic search operation then began throughout the city.

But no matter how many corners they searched in the city, they still couldn't find a single clue.

Artoria simply nodded slightly. "Any news from the others?"

The Knights of the Round Table present all shook their heads.

A brief silence fell over the office.

"Speaking of which, Your Majesty, weren't you planning to go back and rest? Why are you back so soon?" Agravain suddenly asked.

Artoria raised an eyebrow slightly, glanced at the slick-back-haired knight beside her, and said casually, "I couldn't sleep in my room, so I came to check on things."

Agravain nodded slightly and said in a somber tone, "Your Majesty should take better care of your health."

Artoria was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly. "You've all worked hard these past two days. You should all go back and rest."

The Knights of the Round Table exchanged glances, then rose and left the government office.

After everyone had left, Artoria looked at the closed door, took a shallow breath, and slowly exhaled.

At that time, Britain's greatest enemy was Vortigern was frightened away by a song from the city.

She thought that if she could find the owner of the "Aaa" song, she might know how to deal with the demonic dragon.

After all, the opponent scared away the dragon with just her singing.

Or perhaps there is another way to deal with Vortigern, but she herself doesn't know how to use this method.

Artoria gently raised her hand, and a Holy Lance quietly appeared in her palm.

Rhongomyniad, in its true form, is the Tower of Radiance connecting the inner and outer layers of the world, used to stabilize the surface of the world.

Like the Star Sacred Sword, it was also bound by the Thirteen Restraints, which allowed it to be presented as Noble Phantasm.

The way to defeat the Demon Dragon Votigern lies hidden within this Holy Lance.

But until now, the Holy Lance has not answered her call.

If one could unleash the true power of this Holy Lance, defeating Vortigern would surely be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?

"What should I do to make the spirit residing within the Holy Lance respond to me...?"

Artoria gazed at the Holy Lance in her hand, lost in thought for a long time.

Lan Ze leaned against the windowsill, drooping his head in boredom, and yawned lazily.

He held a Crystal Ball in his hand, playing with it. He had obtained it in Uruk a few days ago. The Crystal Ball had taken him into a mysterious space where he saw Scathach.

But to this day he still doesn't know what it's for, and he gradually forgot about it.

After playing with it for a while, Lan Ze put it in his pocket.

With nearly six days until his "wedding ceremony" with Artoria, Lan Ze has nowhere to go right now, thanks to Vortigern. Apart from taking walks around the palace, there seems to be nothing else to do.

"I'll go for a walk, maybe I'll run into Xiao Mo..." Lan Ze thought to himself, and got up to leave the room.

After wandering around in the corridor for a while, Lan Ze suddenly heard an extremely hoarse and unpleasant singing voice. If you listened carefully, you could tell that the singing voice was the "Aaa" sound that Tiamat usually sang. However, this singing voice was not at all "beautiful" at all. Instead, it sounded a bit like the singing voice that Lan Ze had used to Vortigern yesterday.

"Aaaaaa~!!"

Listening to the hoarse singing, Lan Ze covered his ears and walked out of the courtyard with a dark face. He saw Tristan with red hair playing the violin and singing. Every time the song started, it was as shrill as a wail.

"Um—" Lan Ze had no choice but to speak, trying to interrupt Tristan's singing.

The man stopped, turned to face Lan Ze, and then sighed softly, "Sadness, how truly sad. The Queen was actually drawn here by my singing?"

"You call this attraction...?" Lan Ze was speechless and asked, "Mr. Tristan, what are you doing?"

"I'm trying to imitate the song I heard outside the city gate yesterday, looking for inspiration," Tristan said, then gently shook his head.

"Leave this matter to us, Your Queen, there's no need to worry."

I didn't intend to interfere... Lan Ze smiled and nodded, offering a gentle reminder: "Try to keep your voice down."

He was worried that if Tristan continued singing like that, he would be ganged up on and beaten up.

After he finished speaking, Tristan's singing became a little softer.

Seeing this, Lan Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief. He continued to stroll along the corridor in the palace, and before he knew it, he came to a secluded little house.

Outside the house, he sensed a fluctuation of magical power.

"Magic Barrier?" Lan Ze muttered to himself thoughtfully. He tried to reach out his hand, and a dark aura quietly enveloped him from within the Magic Barrier, instantly swallowing his fingers.

But in the next instant, magic surged within Lan Ze's absorbed finger, and then the dark aura that had covered it quietly dissipated.

"Can the protection my mother gave me withstand the erosion of this barrier...?" Lan Ze murmured to himself.

He stepped forward and pushed open the door.

The room was filled with all sorts of cabinets, and inside the cabinets were small bottles of various colors.

"So this must be Morgan le Fay's Magic Workshop...?" Lan Ze thought to himself.

And these small bottles were probably the Magic Potion created by Morgan le Fay?

Lan Ze understood immediately, and slowly walked forward, his gaze quickly drawn to the pink Magic Potion on the table.

He instinctively reached out and picked up the Magic Potion when a sexy, alluring voice suddenly came from behind him:

"That Magic Potion is quite dangerous; it's best not to touch it."

Lan Ze turned around and saw a woman dressed in a court dress standing at the entrance of the Magic Workshop with her arms crossed over her chest, supporting her two full breasts. She had long platinum blonde hair, and unusually, she was not wearing a veil, revealing a delicate and sexy face with a gentle smile on her face.

But if you let your guard down because of that smile, you might unknowingly become hopelessly addicted to this woman's gentle charm.

"What is this?" Lan Ze asked, looking at the pink Magic Potion in his hand.

"Magic Potion that arouses the lust of others."

Morgan le Fay smiled, "Even the gods can't resist it, so it's best not to touch it, or even smell it."

Or perhaps—

She paused, then her tone suddenly shifted, her soft voice drifting lightly through the Magic Workshop: "Would you like to drink this with me?"

As she spoke, Morgan le Fay stepped across the threshold and gracefully entered the Magic Workshop.
