(Appendectomy, I don't want to write this anymore, let's just speed through it. To the reader who has been following this update, thank you very much for your continued support even though it has been discontinued. I am also very sorry for failing your expectations.)
Kainess, who was rescued by the Gemini hero, Dioscuri, was in the sea far from Kirschtaria. Her Spirit Core was shattered, and she was sunk into the ocean.
"A trash like you is not worthy of following that Lord."
Dioscuri disappeared on the sea surface after leaving a mocking remark. Li Xing, taking advantage of the fact that Doctor Romanie had blocked everyone's senses, arrived just in time to witness Kainess being sunk into the deep sea.
"Damn it! Bastard! Am I going to die? I haven't repaid that person yet..." Kainess's body slowly sank, and an unwilling roar echoed in her heart, but her consciousness grew heavier. Perhaps this was the end.
"Legend says you turned into a golden bird after death. I believe this is the nirvana of a phoenix! Now is the time for your nirvana." Li Xing smiled slightly and flew into the sea, rapidly approaching Kainess. He extended his index finger and touched Kainess's chest.
A red light illuminated the seabed, and Kainess's shattered Spirit Core was reforged. Kainess also felt the change in her body and opened her eyes at that moment, seeing Li Xing smiling in the water.
"What... what are you doing? Why are you saving me? We are enemies!"
However, this was underwater, and Kainess's body had not fully recovered, so her words were naturally unclear. Li Xing couldn't hear what Kainess was saying. Just as he was about to take Kainess away, Kirschtaria, in the Astrolabe, recalled Kainess with a Command Spell. However, Kainess did not return to Kirschtaria's side but appeared in a corner of the Starry City.
Li Xing was stunned for a moment, chuckled lightly, and shook his head. "You have a very good Master."
With that, Li Xing disappeared into the sea and returned to the deck of the Argo. No one noticed that Li Xing had gone out.
...
Meanwhile, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash returned to the Argo, their spirits low, with expressions of dejection on their faces.
"Are you two alright? Who was that just now?" Jason was the first to step forward, inquiring about their condition.
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash replied that they were fine, only feeling that the person just now looked like the doctor from Chaldea. In fact, it wasn't just similar; it was exactly the same.
However, Chaldea's communication was restored at this moment. Da Vinci quickly inquired about what had happened. Perhaps because they remembered what Doctor Romanie had said, the two didn't say much and used the excuse of the other party suddenly retreating to gloss over it.
Then, everyone began a headcount and were relieved to find no casualties. Kirschtaria's Celestial Magic was too terrifying; one person alone could defeat everyone.
Jason suddenly remembered something important and turned to look at Li Xing. "Hey! You, you flew up just now, right? I saw you holding a sword sheath in your hand, and that sword sheath seems..."
"Impossible! Don't even think about it. That's my wife's," Li Xing interrupted Jason's speech completely, refusing it with 100% certainty. Avalon could never be handed over. In other words, Li Xing would never easily give away any of his private property.
Jason could only smile awkwardly. Since it was his wife's item, there was nothing he could do. Jason knew how terrifying a wife could be.
"Wife? Isn't Mr. Li Xing's wife Anna? And that sword sheath, it looks very much like the scabbard of King Arthur's legendary holy sword..." Mash was stunned for a moment, then remembered what Fujimaru Ritsuka had told her about Li Xing's later experiences, combined with what she had read in documents, it was easy to associate it with Avalon.
"Ah, that. I have more than one wife. Artoria is also my wife." Li Xing didn't hide anything. This kind of thing was like posting on social media; there was no need to hide it.
"Ah?!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash exclaimed in surprise. Of course, it wasn't just these two. Da Vinci, Holmes, Captain Nemo, and other staff from Chaldea, plus the various Heroic Spirits on the Argo, were all shocked by Li Xing's statement.
"The legendary King Arthur's real name is Artoria? She's a woman? Then are you Guinevere or Morgan? Or are you another queen?" Jason quickly came to Li Xing's side, placing a hand on his shoulder and asking.
Mandricardo felt a pang of sadness. He originally thought Li Xing was an unknown Servant, but he didn't expect him to be so famous.
"I'm none of them. My real name is Li Xing. That's enough, why are you all so gossipy? Hurry up and set sail to find Achilles." After speaking, Li Xing pushed Jason away and found a place to sleep, not wanting to say more to them. After all, they wouldn't understand even if he did.
However, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash understood a little better. Li Xing came from outside the heavens, perhaps another parallel world's King Arthur. They didn't think much of it.
And so, a bit of gossip ended, and the Argo continued its journey towards Tethys Island.
...
After a period of sailing, they finally reached Tethys Island.
When Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others arrived on the island, they saw a green-haired man wielding a long spear fighting a child and a sheep.
Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly called out to stop them, introduced herself as their Master, and Paris stopped and introduced himself to Fujimaru Ritsuka, an Archer-class Servant, Paris, with the sheep on his head being Lord Apollo, the chief god of Greece.
Achilles quickly shielded Fujimaru Ritsuka. "Apollo is the chief god of Greek mythology, so he is likely an enemy. I am Achilles, an Rider-class Servant."
"You are the enemy! You killed my brother. Lord Apollo is a god of the Pan-Human History," Paris retorted immediately to Achilles. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"That was in my past life. Besides, didn't you shoot me to death with an arrow?"
Seeing that their bickering wouldn't stop, Li Xing quickly stepped forward to intervene. "Alright, you two, stop arguing. You are both Pan-Human History Heroic Spirits, and your goals are the same. You should be living in harmony now."
"Tch!"
Neither side hid their disdain, but Charlotte pushed the two together, making them shake hands and reconcile, which finally led to a fragile peace.
After some discussion, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others explained their purpose: to have Achilles shoot down Artemis. However, Achilles stated that he couldn't, because in a previous battle, his heel was injured, meaning he had lost his immortality. He couldn't withstand the extreme speed of Comet Run, let alone fly to the stars to shoot down the giant moon goddess.
"Let me do it! Since that's the case, forge your divine shield and divine armor into a bow and arrow, and let me shoot down Artemis." Orion stepped forward voluntarily, expressing his willingness to take on the task.
"But Artemis isn't your..." Achilles wanted to say something more, but seeing Orion's determined expression, he didn't continue.
"However, who will forge this weapon? We don't have a blacksmith god here. If it's not a divine weapon, we can't shoot down Artemis," Jason spread his hands, his face full of frustration.
Li Xing suddenly raised a hand and said, "I will. I am a Star God. I can even forge Ma'anna, so a mere bow and arrow is nothing!"
Li Xing's words shocked everyone again. Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash suddenly remembered that Li Xing had forged a sword in Uruk before, which was a weapon of the same type as Ishtar's Ma'anna. It was likely that forging a bow and arrow would be no problem.
"That's great! Then it's decided. Li Xing will be responsible for forging the weapon, and Orion will be responsible for drawing the bow."
