Chapter 45: 45:Are you stupid?
The banquet ended and everyone left. Maeve rode away in a carriage.
In the castle of the Kingdom of Ulster, King Conchieber, sitting on the throne, asked all the servants to leave.
He asked the Druid Kaisba with an unhappy look, "Why didn't you let me keep the Queen of Connacht, but let her go?!"
"Your Majesty, calm down." The old man Kaisba said respectfully to Conchieber: "We can't touch the Queen of Connaught... At least at that time, we absolutely can't touch her!
Because she has gods protecting her!"
Seeing King Conchieber stunned for a moment, Kesba continued: "What I am referring to is not the blessing, but the real god!
Morrigan, goddess of war and death!"
"God..." King Conchieber's expression gradually became ugly, and his anger subsided.
"What should we do next?" After a brief silence, King Conchieber asked Kasba, "Should we give her the sacred bull?"
King Conchieber did not mention the matter of Kevin and Cu Chulainn. Apart from anything else, they are now the heroes of the entire Kingdom of Ulster, and there is absolutely no way he would just give them up!
"The Queen of Connaught is greedy, and everyone in Irene knows it." Kesba frowned deeply, stroking his long beard, and said, "She spoke in front of so many people, which shows that she is determined to get Kevin and Cu Chulainn!
Therefore, whether Shenniu gives it or not is not that important. "
"So...what do you mean?" King Conchieber asked tentatively.
Kaisba was silent for a while: "Although that woman Macha cursed our kingdom before she died, if I fight with my life, I can delay the coming of this curse!"
Upon hearing this, King Conchieber, knowing his intention and determination, smiled.
"Tomorrow, that boy Cuchulain will go to the Kingdom of Lask to marry Fergal's daughter, right?"
Kaisba smiled faintly and nodded, "Yes, tomorrow he will lead several members of the Red Branch Knights and his brother Kevin to the Kingdom of Lask!"
"Yes." King Conchieber nodded slightly, "Then let's keep this a secret for now and wait until he comes back...By the way, who won the battle between Cuchulainn and Connor?"
Kaisba smiled more clearly. After all, he was Cu Chulainn's grandfather. He saluted King Conchieber and replied, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Cu Chulainn is now the greatest warrior in the Kingdom of Ulster!"
"Is that so?" Upon hearing this, King Conchieber smiled, but he was not too happy. Instead, he sighed.
After all, he also knew Cu Chulainn's fate.
"Where's Kevin?"
"According to Cuchulainn's answer." Kaisba stroked his beard, "He is not inferior to him! Moreover...the God of Light and the Sun has blessed him!"
"In fact, I am more curious about him than Cu Chulainn...To have grown to this point is something that even I, and even many gods, did not expect!"
If not, the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom would not be by his side.
With this thought, Kaisba said: "So, many people are watching now… I think the goddess of war and death will follow the Queen of Connaught this time to see Kevin.
Everyone is looking forward to seeing how far this special miracle man will go! "
...
...
Less than five days.
Kevin and Cu Chulainn riding on the divine horse, together with Scathach's clone, once again came to the border of the Kingdom of Lask.
There were only three of them on this trip, and because speed was of the essence, they did not bring the rest of the Red Branch Knights along.
If we bring the rest of the people along, the round trip will take at least a month!
Although King Conchiebre, Connor and others kept silent about Maeve when they left, Kevin and Cu Chulainn were not stupid and naturally knew...a war was coming!
"Kevin, what do you think..." Cu Chulainn, who had already arrived at the Lask territory and had slowed down his horse, smiled and asked Kevin, who was also riding a white horse, "How will Fergal welcome us?"
Scathach is not here now. She has planted a mark on Kevin, and Kevin now also understands the runes. He only needs to activate her and she will appear as a clone.
"Anyway, they won't be very friendly... But he has sworn to marry Emerl to you." Kevin narrowed his eyes and smiled, "So I'm a little curious about how he will turn this around!"
"Haha, don't say that. Maybe he won't stop me this time. Who knows. Go!"
How is that possible? He is a daughter-con maniac... Well, no, to be precise, he seems to be a collector of beautiful women.
Kevin thinking this, rode his horse and chased after him.
The horse was very fast, and before dark, Kevin and Cu Chulainn arrived outside the castle.
To be honest, Kevin originally thought that the city gates would be closed and they would not be allowed into the city. Kevin was even prepared to use runes as disguise and sneak in tonight.
However, after the servant came forward to report, he quickly allowed them in and respectfully welcomed the three people who had called Scathach.
"I have been waiting for you for a long time, Kevin the Man of Miracles and Cu Chulainn the Son of Light!" After entering the hall, the two-meter-tall burly middle-aged man sitting on the throne spoke slowly without waiting for the three to speak.
His sharp eyes swept across Kevin and Cu Chulainn, lingering on Scathach for a moment, but because of the function of the veil, he finally stopped his gaze on Kevin.
"Long time no see, your respected King Fergal." Kevin bowed respectfully and stood out with a smile, without waiting for him to say a few nice words.
"Humph!" Fergal snorted coldly, looking at Kevin coldly, and said, "A year ago, you kept this a secret from me!"
Kevin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he seemed to understand something and glanced at Scathach behind him.
At first, Fergal really didn't know that Kevin was Scathach's apprentice, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a bet with Cu Chulainn.
But after the battle that night, Fergal would naturally seek an explanation, but there were not many people in the world who could throw that shot!
Scathach has not too many disciples, but not too few either. So naturally, the fact that Kevin is Scathach's disciple is also known by Fergal!
"Yes, one year ago, I was indeed the apprentice of the Queen of Shadow Kingdom." After thinking it through, Kevin admitted it readily.
He replied with a serious expression: "But my brother did rely on his own efforts to come before the master, and passed various tests, and finally received the gift from the master!
All that has nothing to do with me!"
No, it does matter!
At this moment, Cu Chulainn really wanted to jump out and yell, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be so miserable!"
"Humph!" Fergal snorted coldly, "Who knows!"
Kevin's face darkened upon hearing this, and he frowned and questioned Fergal, "King Fergal, can I understand your words as you are slandering the Queen of Shadow Country, my master?!"
Pah...
Cu Chulainn glanced at Scathach and curled his lips.
This good impression...
"...Of course not." After a moment, Fergal said slowly: "After all, everyone in the Irene Continent knows the style of the Queen of Shadow Country, and this king is no exception!"
Although Scathach is not a first-level god, she is still very famous. It is impossible for Fergal to hide trouble for herself in this place.
"Then King Fergal..." Kevin narrowed his eyes slightly and said again: "Do you want to... not abide by the agreement?"
After the words fell, the scene fell into a brief silence. In this silence, there was a hint of murderous intent. The servants who were watching this place quietly had sharp eyes.
"King Fergal, don't forget it." Kevin exhaled, "You made your oath to my father!"
"...As for the oath, I will naturally abide by it."
Finally, after Fergal finished speaking quietly, he waved to the servant beside him and said calmly: "Go, bring all the princesses to me!"
Princesses?
Kevin was stunned.
Bring them all here? Hmm... why does this sentence sound familiar?
Cuchulainn was the same, he couldn't help but wrap his head around it.
Scathach, who was standing quietly at the back, tilted her head slightly and glanced at Cu Chulainn.
There is only one Emeril, right? Do you want them all?
Soon, all the princesses came to the hall again. The gorgeously dressed girls looked at each other. In the end, except for Eimer who was exchanging glances with Cu Chulainn, everyone focused their attention on Kevin, whose scalp was tingling.
Hmm...a familiar scene!
"King Fergal..." Kevin, feeling uneasy, twitched his lips and said, "You are..."
"What I said then is still valid today." Fergal looked at Kevin and said calmly, "As long as you are willing to leave the Kingdom of Ulster and become my subject, then you can choose any daughter of mine!
Even if you want all of them, I can still agree to it!"
After the voice fell, the girls and Cu Chulainn showed an expression of "Again?!" at the same time. Scathach was stunned for a long time, and then cast a strange look at Kevin who turned his head subconsciously.
And in my heart...I felt relieved!
In fact, Scathach had wanted to ask Kevin a long time ago, what was going on? Let's take the previous five years and the year of trial in the Shadow Kingdom, but he was never seen looking for women during the rest of the time!
You know, there have been few heroes who are not lustful since ancient times, and it is natural to have the idea of wanting to sow seeds when you are wandering between life and death in daily life!
If she hadn't occasionally noticed that he looked at her with desire in his eyes, Scathach would even have suspected that he didn't like women!
Oh my god!
Kevin looked at Fergal in silence with a helpless expression. He really wanted to yell now.
What on earth do you see in me? I will change it, I must change it, okay? !
"Kevin, the man of miracles, you have to think clearly."
Then, before Kevin could speak, Fergal said slowly: "This is the fourth time you have rejected me!
Do you really think you can withstand the wrath of a king? ! "
"...King Fergal, we are here only to take Princess Emmer away!"
Fergal looked at Kevin who answered the question irrelevantly, clapped his hands, and asked Emer to come in front of Cu Chulainn.
Looking at the two people hugging each other all of a sudden, Fergal's eyes showed a hint of anger.
"Kevin, how is it? I have done what I promised!" Fergal stood up and walked down from the throne. His two-meter height made him look extremely burly.
"But what happens next... depends on your decision."
Kevin's expression remained calm as he watched Fergal coming down and the strong servants gradually surrounding him.
"My Lord King, please tell me...what do you mean by this?"
Cu Chulainn held Emer in his arms, glanced at the gloomy warriors, his expression became serious, and he subconsciously moved towards Kevin.
Scathach also took two steps forward, but her expression was calm as she continued to stare at Kevin, curious about what he would do.
"This king recognizes your ability!" He took the big knife handed to him by the servant and stabbed it into the ground. He straightened his chest and looked at Kevin, saying proudly: "But even if you are a miracle man, the son of the God of Light and the Sun, and the apprentice of the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, don't you think you are...too arrogant?!"
"Three people dared to come to my country to ask for people. Do you really think there is no one in my country?!"
Kevin looked around and suddenly realized, "I see... I was wondering why you, Your Majesty, let us in so readily. It turns out you want to shut the door and beat the dog... But if you do this, aren't you afraid that our Ulster Kingdom's army will come and flatten your kingdom?!"
"Hmph!" Fergal snorted disdainfully, "You cursed cowards from Ulster! How could you have the ability to destroy my castle? Moreover, I heard that you recently angered the greedy queen of Connaught. I'm afraid you can't even protect yourselves!"
"The Queen of Connaught..." Kevin smiled and said, "My Lord, do you know what the Queen of Connaught wants?"
Fergal frowned slightly.
"She wants me and my brother!" Kevin asked Fergal with a hint of amusement, "In that case, do you still want to keep us here?"
The Kingdom of Ulster and the Kingdom of Connaught are both big countries on the continent of Erin, but there are only five big countries. To be precise, the Kingdom of Lask is just a small country.
If it weren't for Princess Eimer and the others, it wouldn't have been famous at all!
"..." Fergal was silent. This incident was indeed beyond his expectations.
You have to know that Kevin came here on a divine horse. The fact that the rumor reached Fergal already surprised Kevin a little. Fergal naturally didn't know the details very clearly.
"I've told you that what happens next depends on your decision!" After a period of silence, Fergal made the decision and looked directly at Kevin, "If you become my subject, I will marry you the daughter of your choice! And I can let your brother and the others go!
But if you refuse... then all three of you will stay here tonight!"
"...Well, actually I really can't figure out what you like about me." In the speechless gaze, Kevin first sighed, then raised his head and said to Fergal with a serious face: "But I really want to ask you, you...
Are you stupid? ! "
