Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube

Chapter 1642 - 1127: Negotiation (×) Brawl (√) (Part 2)

Da Vinci’s emotions somewhat turned a bit exuberant.

"I think I saw giants! That, that’s really a giant, isn’t it?!"

Even Altoria, who was somewhat reluctant to come to Edinburgh, couldn’t help but be attracted, looking both unwilling and amazed, quite awkward.

"There really are giants..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka was a bit dumbfounded.

In Edinburgh, some giants, far taller than ordinary fairies and humans, paced back and forth as if patrolling, while some stood guard, holding enormous and robust long spears, exuding a sense of oppression that could rival even fairies with extraordinary power, some even faintly surpassing them.

"It’s become so prosperous... The changes in the King’s clan over these two thousand years are just too significant, aren’t they?"

In the end, even Habettelot couldn’t help but be stunned.

Her impression of the King’s clan was still stuck in the Fairy Calendar period, with only the queen’s calendar marked down as knowledge points, having never witnessed the current appearance of the King’s clan herself.

Therefore, even knowing that the current King’s clan had already transformed, owning a fixed abode, even with Queen Mab replaced, and the current queen being a little girl over a hundred years old, she hadn’t expected the changes to be so significant.

Only, with eyes flickering a transparent sheen, focusing on the hidden state of Edinburgh.

In his observation, this prosperous northern city was incessantly absorbing external Magic Power, similar to the throne in Camelot’s palace.

The difference being, the throne absorbs Magic Power from all fairies in Britain marked with command spells, while Edinburgh absorbs the magical essence from the earth.

"The earth... Is it Albion?"

Reiger speculated in his heart, plunging deeper into using the Transparent World, seeing more things.

In his vision, not only was Edinburgh itself surrounded by rich Magic Power, but the fairies within also emitted unusual magical fluctuations.

That magical fluctuation clearly did not belong to these fairies.

Because this wave of magical fluctuations was too consistent, it was apparent that it was from the power of a single entity.

"That must be the essence of the King’s clan, right?"

Reiger squinted, recalling the King’s clan’s eventual fate in the original work, causing a cold gleam to flicker in his eyes.

At this moment, Matthew spoke in a slightly urgent voice.

"Detecting a rapid increase in Magic Power values! We’ve been discovered!"

Upon hearing Matthew’s voice, everyone realized that, at some point, the carriage drawn by eight-legged horses had entered Edinburgh and reached the skies above Edinburgh.

The flying carriage flew openly into the city of the King’s clan, immediately drawing the attention of the fairies and giants on guard.

They seemed startled, then appeared to recognize the carriage as an intruder to Edinburgh, each one approaching.

Then, everyone saw one giant after another raise their long spears, hurling them skyward without a word.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—"

Instantly, with a sharp breaking sound, sturdy long spears like stone pillars ripped through the sky, forming a curtain of spears, overwhelmingly shooting towards the carriage in mid-air.

"Watch out! It’s shooting!"

Matthew shouted while raising her shield, her body glowing faintly.

"Buzz!"

In front of the running eight-legged horse, a magic power barrier appeared just in time, stopping the storming rain of spears.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—!"

The spears, as sturdy as stone pillars, one by one hit the magic power barrier, igniting explosive blasts akin to cannon bombardments.

"Oh dear, we’ve been regarded as enemies now."

Habettelot said this in a completely relaxed tone.

"Hurry and land! Don’t escalate the conflict!"

Da Vinci hastily slung his backpack over, looking like a paratrooper ready to jump.

"What? Weren’t we going to storm the royal city directly?"

Altoria seemed eager to try, holding the Staff of Selection, her eyes glowing.

"No, no, no! We aren’t here to fight, right?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was startled by Altoria’s eager look, almost thinking they were here to invade Edinburgh instead of negotiating.

"Snap!"

Reiger didn’t waste words, scattering curse power while snapping his fingers to activate the [Unrighteous Game] spell.

"Swish!"

The eight-legged horse carriage vanished into the air, causing the rain of spears to fall into empty space and shoot out of Edinburgh towards the countryside.

"Swish!"

The next moment, the carriage reappeared out of nowhere on a main street of Edinburgh, continuing forward at high speed.

"Stop them!"

"Don’t let them near the grand cathedral!"

"Where are the messengers? Hurry up and notify Lady Noconalay!"

Shortly after, a troop of fairy soldiers gathered from all directions to block the path of the eight-legged horse carriage.

"Halt!"

"Stop right there!"

Many fairies took action, either throwing spears or shooting arrows, and some even charged forward wielding swords, seemingly chaotic yet not hindering each other’s actions, cooperating seamlessly, a testament to their training.

"[Arrow-blocking Wall]."

"[Refusal of Life Cocoon]."

Suddenly, a calm voice echoed from within the carriage, and a green barrier along with a stream of air appeared surrounding the carriage out of thin air.

Under the influence of this stream, flying projectiles like arrows and spears were disrupted, losing their accuracy, and fairies wielding swords were barred from approaching due to the barrier, unable to get near the carriage.

"Oh no!"

"We can’t stop them!"

"That’s Queen Morgan’s magic...!"

"So it’s the queen’s army, after all?"

The fairies shouted in anxiety but soon froze collectively.

"Clip-clop—"

Surrounded by the green barrier and turbulent airflow, the eight-legged horse carriage suddenly slowed to a stop, until the sound of hooves cease entirely.

It didn’t charge forward further, nor did it make any other moves. It just seemed as if it had arrived at its destination, quietly staying put, allowing the fairies of Edinburgh to encircle it.

The eight-legged horse seemed somewhat unsatisfied, as if wanting to soar into the air again, stamping its hooves and snorting a few times, but ultimately, it didn’t run off again nor flew into the air, continuing to linger in place.

Then, the carriage behind the white eight-legged horse was opened, and the people inside started to come out one after another.

"Who are you?"

Among Edinburgh’s fairies, a person of considerable status loudly questioned them, prompting the fairies who had regained their composure to enter a state of alert, raising their weapons and aiming them at the group.

The group exchanged glances, then collectively turned their gaze, focusing on one person among them.

Stare...(one_by_one)

"..."

Feeling the focused gazes of her companions, Altoria’s body stiffened.

"Go ahead."

Reiger stood behind Altoria, arms crossed, looking at the fairy girl with amusement and smiled as he spoke.

"Go say hello to your friends."

Undoubtedly, among the group, Altoria, the prophesied child, was the apparent leader.

Whether publicly or privately, at this moment, she ought to step forward.

"...Really want to run away."

"...She had a moment’s thought of just abandoning all responsibility.

But thinking of ’that person’ potentially watching her, Altoria took a deep breath and stood up.

"I am Altoria Castle! Representing the Round Table at Londinium for negotiations!"

Altoria’s voice echoed throughout Edinburgh.

"Get out here quickly! Noconalay!"

Listening to this completely unamiable shout, everyone was left with only one thought.
