The Book of Maiden Contract

797 Who Is at Fault? The World or Tokiomi?

If you want to grab a man's heart, you must first grab his stomach... Countless women regard this sentence as a golden rule, but they don't know that this sentence can also be used on women, such as the food-loving nun who owns 100,000 pornographic books, the food-food undead who rules the underworld, and a generation of queen Artoria!

Lin Luo knew that in such a backward era, some weeds could be eaten as a staple food, and the delicacies in his storage space made by the maids who were comparable to little masters could definitely become like holy water. At least for Artoria, these delicacies were 200% attractive!

And the fact is true, Arturia, a foodie, only ate because she trusted Lin Luo at first, and she didn't expect much from the food itself, but after she took the first bite, she had already forgotten about Lin Luo, and she only had food in her mind, and she was in a state of ecstasy, feeling... this thing is only in the sky, how many times in the world can I taste it!

Arturia's gaze was fixed on the food on the plate, and those emerald-like eyes shone with a dazzling light, unblinking, as if there was nothing else in the world.

The world seems to stand still, and time and space are meaningless at this moment.

Then, she made a move!

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish... It was as if a white horse was passing by, and it was like a lightning bolt. No one could see the speed of that hand clearly, and no one could grasp the trajectory of that hand. All words and languages ​​seemed so pale and powerless at the moment she shot, and even everything was insignificant in front of this speed.

Then, when everything was back to normal, there was no food on the plate, and the precious gold-rimmed plate was as clean as a holy virgin, without a speck of stain. And the girl king who still looks like fifteen years old, her eyes have returned to Lin Luo, her eyes are full of energy.

Although she didn't say anything, Lin Luo Wen Xianqin knew the elegant meaning, knew that she was waiting for her to be fed, and suppressed the desire to complain, Lin Luo smiled slightly, flicked her fingers, and there was an extra bowl of delicious ramen in her hand, and then carefully handed it to the king.

"one more bowl!"

In less than ten seconds, a bowl of ramen was gone. The girl licked her lips and looked at Lin Luo.

"..." Lin Luo frowned, and he suddenly remembered a nursery rhyme he had heard in the distant past: A child without a mother is like a grass, can't eat enough, can't sleep well...Look at my king, this child without a father and a mother, how pitiful it is!

Lin Luo was overwhelmed with sympathy for a moment, and took out several kinds of food in succession.

On the other hand, seeing their king eating so happily, the knights looked at each other in blank dismay, their appetites could not help being whetted, and they also stretched out their hands to the opposite plate, and then they got out of control. These knights who often galloped on the battlefield, even though they lived a good life now, had never eaten such delicious food.

Food is the most important thing for the people. This sentence is not false at all. Although the knights are not as exaggerated as Artoria, most of their attention is also focused on food. It's just that there are a few knights who are more sad. Lin Luo secretly hates them for being too picky, and deliberately gave them a few plates of food that they couldn't handle with their hands, such as tofu, so that they could only pick up the plates and drink them as soup.

But even so, they didn't blame Lin Luo, or they didn't have that kind of carelessness at all, they were all clattering, but they just wanted to eat the plate together.

Then the next thing was much simpler. As the saying goes, taking people with short hands and eating people with soft mouths, Lin Luo gave them a delicious meal in the world. No matter how much they wanted to criticize, they spoke a lot more kindly, and they were not as strongly opposed as they were at the beginning.

Of course, after all, they are knights of the round table rather than foodies. The rules of the knights are still very strong. No matter how delicious Lin Luo's food is, it is impossible to give up the principle because of this. The most important reason is Lin Luo's miraculous means.

Some of them were lucky enough to see the magic of Merlin, the great magician, and there are only four words to describe it - miraculous. But at this moment, Lin Luo conjured so many delicious foods in such a short period of time, no less than Merlin, and they faintly regarded Lin Luo as a magician like Merlin.

This can also understand why King Arthur immediately gave Lin Luo such a high official position.

After all, some powerful magicians are the kind of mysterious and wise characters. If they have poor brains, they would not be able to achieve such great achievements. It is more than enough to be a palace minister... Do you dare to say that magicians have no brains? All right, tell Merlin in front of Merlin, and see if he doesn't turn you into a frog!

Although Lin Luo doesn't know much about the affairs of this era, the world is round after all, and this is also a human society. Although many future systems are a bit ahead of their time, they are not completely incapable of being accommodated. With the part of history he knows, some measures are said through his mouth, which can be considered logical.

Of course, the Knights of the Round Table are bound by the times after all, so they can’t see as far as he does, and there are some things they can’t understand at all... If Lin Luo said this before, they would only think that Lin Luo was talking nonsense and nonsense, but he showed a miracle in advance, then the situation is different.

At the very least, what Merlin sometimes said was unpredictable, leaving people in the dark.

A lunatic and a sage, after all, have different weights. No one will pay attention to the philosophy that a lunatic says, but a casual sentence from a sage can make many people speculate on its inner meaning.

No one objected anymore, Lin Luo took the position of the palace minister as a matter of course, and the round table meeting ended shortly thereafter... After all, in this medieval Europe, most people admired the spirit of chivalry, and the knights of the round table were no exception. In other words, they themselves were the representatives of chivalry.

The reason why they strongly opposed Lin Luo at the beginning was because Lin Luo danced too fast. These knights fought bravely from birth to death, and now they are just knights with titles, but Lin Luo does nothing, and controls half of the internal affairs as soon as he arrives. Even a saint will feel unbalanced.

But now, they have weighed Lin Luo and Merlin on the same balance, so why is there any need to object?

They are knights after all, not politicians!

Thus, a meeting that was supposed to be turbulent ended simply like this, and the root cause was that Lin Luo took out some food from the storage space.

The knights left in twos and threes. After a while, there were only a few people left in the huge meeting hall. The reason why they didn't leave was because my king hadn't finished eating.

When my king finished eating, Lin Luo also took all the plates back. After all, they were inlaid with gold, so it would be a pity to throw them away. It's just that he just packed up when he heard a sentence that almost made him vomit blood.

"Sir Hades, it's still early, why don't you come with me to the palace to have some snacks and discuss some things... By the way, there are also my friends Lancelot and Bedivere."

"..." Lin Luo was speechless, didn't he just eat it? He thinks what my king said about discussing things is false, but it is true for eating.

However, after all, he is now a minister, and it is not easy for him to refuse my king's words. As for Lancelot and others, they will not refuse, respectfully, "Yes, my king."

…It was still the backyard, where Lin Luo saw Arturia for the first time in this era, but this time there were more people. Besides him and my king, there were also the knight Lancelot of the Yangtze River, the most loyal knight Bedivere, the knight Gawain who was known as the Prince Charming, and Artoria’s righteous brother Kai... These knights are all well-known figures among the Knights of the Round Table, and they are also the most powerful knights of King Arthur, and two of them are related to her.

But before they were seated, a few more characters came.

"My brother, it's been a long time. It's been good recently." A beautiful woman came not far away, with green eyes and long red hair, looking at Artoria with a sweet smile. And there are two people beside her, one is a stunning blonde beauty, and the other is the knight Ji who had a relationship with Lin Luo once.

Well, this is really lively.

Lin Luo was speechless for a moment. He felt that the dinner had become a family gathering, because the red-haired woman who spoke was none other than Morgan, the sister who had a mirror with the king, and the woman who was more beautiful than Morgan was of course the wife of the king, Guinevere. He still had this vision.

It was Morgan who stole the scabbard and brought King Arthur to ruin. The root cause of King Arthur’s death was the affair between Guinevere and Lancelot. The crusade against Lancelot was forced by the situation and Gawain made a statement. It was Mordred who directly killed King Arthur... Now, a casual dinner has all the key figures who will end the era of King Arthur in the future. Lin Luo really doesn’t know what to say.

But even so, Lin Luo's mood is very calm. After all, he has experienced so many things, and now he can look at things from an objective standpoint.

Although Morgan was guilty of stealing the scabbard, it may not be without reason, which is hard to say. Guinevere had an affair with Lancelot, and the fault was not small, but Guinevere married Arturia and said that she would be a widow for the rest of her life. This was a disaster for a beautiful woman like her. She had already made such a big sacrifice. You can’t blame her for falling in love with Lancelot, and the same is true for Lancelot. After all, there is no sin in love.

Gawain attacked Lancelot because his younger brother was killed by the latter. It is only natural to avenge his relatives, although his opinion made the royal city empty and Mordred could take advantage of it.

As for Mordred, in Lin Luo's view, she is a Cao Cao-style character. She thinks that King Arthur is no longer good, and replacing her will make the country better... You can blame her for violating the spirit of chivalry, violating human ethics, and being rebellious, but the more important reason is that King Arthur himself can no longer control the country, and changing the dynasty is a matter of course.

So, is Arturia wrong?

Of course she was wrong, but no one can blame her, because everything she did was for the country, and her sacrifice was the greatest.

However, since each of them is right, who is wrong? Could it be that the World Mother has to take the blame again? Or... is it Tokiomi's fault?
