In the end, Cang Ye did not accept the system's proposal to be a scumbag, not only deceiving Britomart of her feelings but also tricking her out of her Gundam and magic spear.
Cang Ye felt that since this girl trusted him so much, as a qualified knight, he naturally couldn't let her down.
Of course, Cang Ye was still very covetous of Britomart's Gundam and magic spear.
After all, no man can refuse a Gundam, and Cang Ye was no exception.
So he decided to travel with Britomart for a while first. Once their relationship improved, he would borrow her 『Fortress of the Queen』 to play with.
Anyway, as long as this piece of armor had enough deeds associated with him, Lamorak, when he was inscribed as a Heroic Spirit in the future, he might just bring it with him.
After all, for some special Noble Phantasms, they can be shared by multiple people.
The most typical example is that both Rider Medusa and the Divine Age's Perseus can use the Noble Phantasm 『Bellerophon』, which is transformed from the Pegasus.
And so, Cang Ye temporarily acknowledged Britomart as his companion.
That night, after adding enough firewood to the bonfire, Cang Ye no longer resisted the onslaught of sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep, leaning against the cave wall.
The next day, he woke up on Britomart's lap pillow.
"You're awake!"
The girl's slightly cheerful voice came.
Feeling the softness under his head and his eyes slowly focusing on the beautiful, delicate face before him, Cang Ye was dazed for a few seconds.
Then he remembered what happened last night.
Yes, the author just padded out two chapters with the events of one night.
Aren't I amazing?
"Good morning, Britomart."
Although the fairy girl's lap pillow was very comfortable, Cang Ye still propped himself up.
Then he looked at the smiling Britomart.
"How are your mana reserves? Do you still need to replenish some mana?"
"It's enough. Thanks to you, Lamorak. With this much mana, I don't have to worry about daily mana consumption for at least a week."
Hearing this, Cang Ye immediately understood.
Not having to worry about daily mana consumption meant that if she were to engage in combat, Britomart's mana consumption would be even greater.
Thinking of this, Cang Ye subconsciously sensed the mana in his body.
After discovering that his mana level was still full after a night of being drained by Britomart, Cang Ye was relieved.
He then smiled at Britomart and said.
"Don't worry about mana. My mana recovery speed is still very strong."
"Mhm, thank you, Lamorak."
Britomart returned Cang Ye's sweet smile.
Afterwards, the awakened Cang Ye first went to the cave entrance to check the weather.
When he found that it was still pouring outside, and the rain was even heavier than yesterday, he helplessly retreated.
It seemed they couldn't continue their journey for a while.
Fortunately, Cang Ye's food reserves were still sufficient, and he had the foresight to pick up some extra wood yesterday, so there was no need to worry about supplies and warmth for the time being.
And so, after grilling some dry rations for Britomart and himself, the idle Cang Ye began to chat with her.
He then learned from Britomart that she had sensed the fae aura on him in a crowd as early as five days ago and had been following him all along. It wasn't until yesterday that she confirmed that the fae aura on him was not because he had imprisoned a fae or something, but originated from his own bloodline. Plus, she felt that he was not a bad person, so Britomart decided to show herself.
To this, Cang Ye was very surprised, because although he could occasionally feel someone watching him, when he used his Fae Eyes to investigate, there was no problem.
And Britomart's answer was that because her bloodline was that of a Wind Fae, and she herself had mastered 『Mana Burst (Wind)』, she was able to escape the detection of his Fae Eyes.
Alright, Cang Ye understood. Looking at it this way, his Fae Eyes were only B-rank, while Britomart's Mana Burst was at least A-rank.
Then Cang Ye asked Britomart for her views on the current state of Britain and Vortigern, as well as her plans for the future.
To Cang Ye's surprise, Britomart, who could be considered another type of Knight of the Round Table, remained indifferent to both the future King of Knights, Artoria, and Vortigern, who sought to return Britain to the Age of Gods.
In short, it was none of her business.
After thinking for a moment, Cang Ye also understood her thoughts.
After all, she was a Fairy Knight who grew up in the Fairy Kingdom. Even if she was part human, she was not interested in the human struggle for power.
Besides, whether Britain's Divine Age was restored or not had little to do with her. After all, as long as she returned to the Fairy Kingdom on the Reverse Side of the World, even if the Isle of Britain collapsed, it wouldn't affect her.
As for Britomart's plans for the future...
She didn't say clearly, only mysteriously telling Cang Ye that she wanted to follow the same path as her mother.
When she said this, her face was flushed, and she didn't dare to look at Cang Ye.
And Cang Ye was just bewildered. He hadn't read "The Faerie Queene," so how would he know what the first Britomart did?
Just as Cang Ye was about to ask the system about this, he suddenly heard a strange sound.
It was a strange sound like forty hounds barking at the same time. Even with the heavy rain outside, the sound still penetrated the rain curtain and echoed into the cave.
Cang Ye's expression changed slightly. He subconsciously picked up his weapon, walked to the cave entrance, and looked outside.
It was still a torrential downpour, but through the silver curtain of rain, he could see a blurry black shadow in the distance.
"Looks like we have trouble."
Cang Ye could feel a malicious gaze passing through the rain curtain and landing on him, which made him very uncomfortable.
Because this gaze was not the pure killing intent of a human, but the greed and covetousness of a beast looking at an animal that was about to become its food.
"System, what is that thing?"
Cang Ye put on his armor and asked the system in his mind.
But before the system could answer, a pleasant girlish voice sounded from behind him.
"That's an Afanc. In human terms, it's also called a Water-seeking Beast. I suppose this guy was attracted by the fae aura on us."
Behind Cang Ye, a silver-white broadsword had appeared in Britomart's hand at some point. She stood up and said with some eagerness.
"Mmm, after absorbing so much of your mana, I want to move around a bit too. How about you leave it to me? Lamorak."
"No, leave it to me. My purpose was originally it."
"Eh?"
To Britomart's surprise, Cang Ye refused her request.
Although she didn't understand, Britomart didn't ask much. She thought for a moment and said to Cang Ye.
"Since you said so, I won't fight you for it. But Lamorak, you have to be careful."
"My mother told me that Afancs are the minions of evil magicians. They feed on fae, and their claws and fangs have the power of a curse. You have to be careful not to get hurt by it."
Hearing this, Cang Ye was stunned for a moment, but then a smile appeared on his face.
"Alright, I understand."
"Wait! There's one more thing!"
Seeing that Cang Ye was about to walk out of the cave after he finished speaking, Britomart hurriedly stopped him.
Seeing Cang Ye stop and turn around, Britomart handed the silver-white greatsword to him, and then, under his puzzled gaze, she smiled.
"Besides its claws and fangs being enhanced by magic, the Afanc's fur has also been enhanced. Only a weapon with extraordinary power can harm it. If you, Lamorak, use your original weapon, you won't be able to harm it at all."
"Then this sword..."
"It's not a sword, but a spear."
"Hmm?"
The next moment, under Cang Ye's surprised gaze, Britomart placed her hand on the silver-white greatsword and murmured a few words. Then, it began to emit a verdant green light.
Then, in the light, the greatsword slowly dissipated into specks of light, replaced by a strangely shaped, gradually solidifying verdant spear.
"True Name Release, Magic Spear 『Magic Wind's Piercing Roar (Penetrate Blaiddyd)』."
[On a night of pouring rain and darkness, you encountered the monster destined to appear in your fate, the Afanc.]
[You received the help of the Fairy Knight Britomart and temporarily obtained a handy Noble Phantasm, 『Magic Wind's Piercing Roar』.]
[You felt the blessing of the wind, and so, without hesitation, you launched an attack on the Afanc.]
