Type-Moon: I! The Magic King! Am going to marry Tiamat!

Page 174

We agreed to keep it a secret!

Lanling Wang also sensed something was amiss, so he quickly assured him, "Don't worry, I will keep this a secret for you. I guarantee it with my integrity. She is my best friend, and I would never betray her. You can rest assured about that."

Do not!

It's not that I don't trust you, Chang Gong.

This is a matter of principle.

Maren looked rather grim, but at this point, he had no choice but to give up.

After all, the other party already knows things they shouldn't know.

Fortunately, he didn't even tell Hinako his purpose, so the impact wasn't too great.

"Why did I help her? It was just a mutually beneficial arrangement. I needed someone to support me at the time."

Now that things were out in the open, Marx and Engels didn't hide anything and revealed their original purpose.

Although it was just a vague sentence, Lanling Wang understood instantly.

It's all for the sake of our current status.

In other words, Marx and Engels have already gotten what they wanted.

In that case, they probably won't use Hinako Akuta for anything anymore, right?

Thinking this, he slowly nodded: "I understand."

He then continued, "So, what do you think of her?"

"How do I see? I see with my eyes."

Marne rolled his eyes and glanced at Hinako Akuta at the back of the group.

"She's just a stubborn, immature, and love-starved old girl who's thousands of years old."

Lanling Wang nodded in deep agreement.

So much time has passed, and he hasn't sensed that Hinako Akuta has grown at all; she's still the same as she was back then.

He smiled and said, "Hearing you say that puts my mind at ease. Please continue to take care of me in the future."

After their initial contact, he could roughly tell that Ma En wasn't a bad person, at least he didn't have any ill intentions towards Akuta Hinako.

It's not hard to tell from the fact that he wasn't angry when he learned that Hinako Akuta had told him about the collaboration, but rather felt helpless.

Moreover, Marne understood Hinako Akuta and was happy to see this happen; it was naturally a good thing for Hinako Akuta to have another friend.

"Ah."

Seeing this, Marx and Engels nodded and said nothing more.

Throughout the entire process, the three communicated in hushed tones. Apart from the black-haired girl next to Mash, Mashu and Gudako had no idea what the others were saying.

They didn't even notice the interaction between the others, because the two girls were also chatting happily.

Well, Mashu was mainly explaining the background of this era to Gudako.

Communication has been shut down, so Chaldea has no idea what's happening here.

After walking for a while, the group followed the soldiers and arrived at a dilapidated fortress.

"This is really..."

Mash was somewhat shocked by the dilapidated fortress in front of her.

"It's even more dilapidated than the ruins of Fuyuki, and there are wounded everywhere..."

Gudako's complexion wasn't good either.

The main reason was that it was the first time I had seen so many injured people. Some of their injuries were only simply bandaged, while others were not bandaged at all. Everywhere I looked was a scene of blood, and even the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Not to mention, there was a pile of corpses nearby, with various gruesome dead soldiers and severed limbs burning on it, and a nauseating smell of tar mixed with the stench of rotting corpses could be smelled from afar.

These two girls, who were like delicate flowers in a greenhouse, had never seen such a tragic scene before.

"Ugh~!"

Gudako was the first to give in and immediately turned around to vomit.

Mashu's face was also deathly pale, and she looked extremely uncomfortable.

Upon seeing this, Marx and Engels quickly waved their hands.

"Dispel the filth!"

A flash of white light appeared in Ma En's hand, and the surrounding air instantly became fresh.

Then, the pile of corpses that had been burning also caught a pale blue flame, instantly burning the pile of corpses to ashes.

The bloodstains, sweat, and other filth on the people inside the fortresses were instantly removed, leaving them clean.

This made Mashu feel a little better.

Immediately, she turned to look after Gudako.

"Senior, are you alright?"

"I still feel a little unwell, let me calm down a bit... Ugh!"

Gudako was still vomiting, but no one said anything to her.

She was originally just an ordinary person, but upon witnessing the tragic deaths of many of her kind, she experienced a physiological reaction, which was driven by her biological instincts.

.

The abnormal ones were the four of them, Mar and En, who seemed completely unaffected; at least Mashu was feeling nauseous.

At this moment, the soldiers in the opposite fortress also noticed Marne and his party.

There was no way around it; the commotion Marx and Engels had caused was simply too great.

This was something even Marx and Engels themselves hadn't expected.

What he just used wasn't magic, but an effect constructed from imagination—a new attempt.

Let's call it magic for now, a purification magic he imagined, the effect of which is to purify everything he considers unclean.

The effect was unexpectedly powerful.

"It's those same people! They've caught up with us!"

"Enemy attack! Prepare to meet the enemy!"

The soldiers immediately mobilized, rushed out of the fortress, and surrounded Marne and his men once again.

However, this time, they were all very nervous. After witnessing the strength of Mar and others, they couldn't help but feel intimidated.

"So many bridges and sacks!"

At this moment, Mashu, fulfilling her duty as a negotiator, quickly stepped forward and said, "You've misunderstood. We mean no harm; we're just travelers passing through."

"What a joke?! How could someone who associates with witches not have malicious intent? Who do you think did all this?!"

The soldiers still didn't believe it. Looking at the black-haired man silently eating snacks next to Ma En, they all showed expressions of fear and deep hatred.

"It seems they mistook Al for someone else."

Nine.

Chapter 250 Gudako's maiden battle, her terrible Sunset Red spear technique.

Maren shrugged helplessly.

"It seems that's how it is. I'll try to clear up this misunderstanding."

Mashu nodded and began to explain to the soldiers.

It basically said: 'You've all mistaken her for someone else. This person isn't some witch you're thinking of, but King Arthur of Britain.'

"Huh? Do you think we're fools? How could King Arthur be a woman!"

"Besides, King Arthur is long dead, so how could she possibly be here? If she really is King Arthur, then what is she? A ghost?"

"In my opinion, they are most likely spies sent by Britain, that must be it!"

The soldiers didn't believe it at all, and their hostility only intensified.

"Ah this..."

Mashu was dumbfounded and turned to look at Marne: "Old man, what do we do now?"

She truly didn't expect that explaining her identity as "460" would have the opposite effect.

It can only be said that Black Hair's identity is really not suitable for appearing in this singularity.

Maren shrugged: "What can we do? Just let it be. If all else fails, we can arrest one and use that to get people questioned."

Since proper communication is impossible, violence is the only option left.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out behind the soldiers.

"Enemy attack! A large number of undead have appeared!"

A shout came from behind.

Roman's reminder also came through the communication from Gudako's side.

"A massive magical reaction has occurred! It appears to be skeleton soldiers created by injecting a small amount of magic into a human body. There are many of them, be careful!"

In an instant, both sides turned to look in the direction from which the shouts came.

Then they saw a dense, swarming group of thousands of skeleton soldiers who had somehow arrived nearby and were attacking the soldiers.

"Damn it! They definitely had something going on!"

The soldiers confronting Marne and his group immediately began to imagine all sorts of scenarios, such as Marne and his men being bait to lure them out.

But at this point, there was no time to worry about that.

"Retreat into the fortress! Use the terrain to your advantage!"

With that, the soldiers said no more, nodding to the skeleton soldiers while keeping a watchful eye on Marn and the others for any unusual movements, and began to retreat back into the fortress.

Marne and the others did not stop them, but instead looked at the skeleton soldiers.

"These are familiar faces, these small fry."
