I must draw my sword immediately!

Chapter 94 Gawain, the Debt Collector

#
The light, like the blazing sun, instantly illuminated the entire block.

And when the light receded, transforming into a phantom greatsword, and the field of vision regained the conditions for observation,
Suya then saw,
A woman standing 1.9 meters tall, clad in extravagantly designed heavy armor, with long, wavy golden hair flowing behind her, exuding an aura of both ferocity and grace.
A female knight!?

With a cold expression, she raised her hand and seemingly grasped a giant sword made of pure flames, a sword without any physical form. She pointed the sword at the trembling Mary, who was cowering in the corner of the carriage, through gritted teeth.

"Surrender! I surrender!"

Under that gaze, which seemed to be directed at her like a vicious black dog, Mary immediately broke down, raised her hands in a gesture of French national courtesy to the fierce yet demure female knight, and screamed.

It was as if if she had waited even a second longer to surrender, this flaming greatsword would have mercilessly chopped Mary into mincemeat from head to toe.

"Humph!"

“I have no intention of pointing out the past, Meryl. In any case, now you must hand over the [Bible's Mystery Blade] and the [Witch's Armor] that you took from the Fairy Kingdom!”

"And also, you owe the casino 100,000 gold pounds!"

Upon hearing this, Mary's expression froze, then she forced a smile that was more like a grimace, and whispered in a barely audible voice:

"I've lost everything, I've lost everything!"

"what!"

The female knight's eyebrows furrowed, veins bulged on her forehead, and the surrounding air pressure suddenly dropped by three points.
She stared at the innocent-looking Mary, her hatred so intense she could only utter a single word through gritted teeth:
"What have you been doing?!"

"Your Highness!"

Upon hearing this, Suya glanced in surprise at Meryl, who was curled up beside her, hugging her knees and burying her head, looking like a large ball of white yarn.
I never would have guessed that you, you birdman, were a princess?

Then, Suya looked up at the fierce yet virtuous female knight before her.

Fairies, princesses, the Sword of Victory, debt-collecting knights, and the image of the person before us...
Overwhelmed by a multitude of factors, his mind raced, but he quickly and tentatively asked the female knight before him:

"You are... Fairy Knight Gawain?"

Fairy Knight Gawain,

It is a fairy knight named by Gawain Spirito, a knight of the round table in the Fairy Kingdom Lostbelt. His appearance is quite similar to the one in front of him, but compared to him, this one does not have the burning horn and eyes that are unique to fairies.

Upon hearing Suya's clear, bard-like voice, Gawain's eyes shifted slightly. The inhuman emotion in his eyes faded, and his deep blue pupils remained unblinking as he frankly spoke:

"I am Gawain, a debt collector knight who barely makes a living in the royal capital of Winchester."

"Not a fairy, but a human."

She frowned slightly, and out of the corner of her eye, she spotted Suya, who seemed to be the leader of the squad that Melly was in, and asked:
"You adopted this fairy?"

Suya's lips twitched slightly. "I suppose so."

"Then I'll ask you to pay off her debts."

"She owed the casino 100,000 pounds sterling. Excluding the upfront fees, just calculating the annualized interest rate of 60%, compound interest, handling fees, service fees, and management fees,"

"The minimum interest to be repaid now is 5233 gold pounds, 16 silver leps, and 25 copper pence."

Gawain raised his sword with one hand, pointing it at Melly to prevent her from escaping, and with his other hand outstretched, he spread his gauntlet and raised four fingers toward Suya.

It means to give money.

Upon hearing such an outrageous number, Suya decisively kicked the 'white ball of yarn' beside her with her toe.
"Hey, get up and pay back the money!"

Mary buried her head and let out a desperate wail: "Even if I robbed Sir Hector's treasury, I would only have less than 5000 gold pounds."

“If I pay it back now, she will definitely count it as overdue, and then I will have to pay an extra 200 gold pounds.”

Hearing this, Suya could already imagine the hopeless life this birdman would lead in the future.
This is still only paying interest, with no principal repaid at all.

"You're hopeless, you gambling addict."

Suya sighed helplessly, but thinking of the indispensable role of this buff princess, she looked at Gawain and asked, "Could we postpone this for a few days? We will pay back the principal and interest in a few days."

"Everyone in debt says that."

Gao Wen shook his head decisively, then looked at Su Ya and said seriously, "Paying back debts is a matter of course!"

“If she can’t pay back the money, I’m going to cut off one of her fingers right now. If you think you can stop me, you can try.”

She slightly turned the hilt of her sword, pointing the illusory flaming longsword at Suya.

However, at this time,

After seeing Suya's exceptionally beautiful face,
"Huh!?"

She suddenly widened her blue eyes slightly, swallowed, and a hesitant blush rose on her pretty face.

"However, if you're willing to practice swordsmanship with me for one night, it's not impossible to postpone it for ten days or half a month."

"Quaa?!"

Hearing this, Mary, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly looked up alertly.

"Shall we practice our swordsmanship?"

Upon hearing such lewd words, Suya couldn't help but shudder and swallow hard.

Gao Wen blushed slightly and spoke nonsense with a straight face:

"Please don't misunderstand. I'm just very curious about your swordsmanship. If I could discuss it with you, it would definitely help me improve my martial arts."

Suya looked at the large truck that had suddenly appeared in front of her, feeling a little dizzy.

"Yes, really?"

At this moment, Gao Wen seemed to suddenly remember something important, and his face hardened again as he said in a deep voice:
"I will discuss this matter with you in detail later."

She turned and looked sternly at Meryl, her voice low and rebuking:
“Merry, I can tentatively ease up on the debt for now, out of respect for this knight, but—”

"You must now hand over the [Bible's Enigma Knife]!"

"This knife must never fall into the hands of the church!"

Upon hearing the term again, Lukan suddenly jolted awake, looking at Merry with a mixture of astonishment and surprise.
"Miss Meryl, you had this, why didn't you say so sooner?"

Suya frowned slightly and asked, "Wait, what's that?"

Lucan explained: "Many prophecies in the Old Testament symbolize God's perspective on the past, present, and future, and the description of the 'knife' is often used to cut through the surface appearance and reveal a deeper spiritual reality."

"And the 'Mysterious Knife of the Bible' is a manifestation of the concept of 'knife' in the Bible, a kind of divine treasure and ceremonial garment."

Suya scratched his head and looked at Meryl.
"I don't understand, please translate."

Mary, with a pained expression, explained:

"The Book of Hebrews says that it is sharper than any double-edged sword, even penetrating to the point of splitting the soul and spirit."

"Simply put, it may have the effect of directly severing the concept of 'divine authority'."

"That dagger of mine is what Morgan le Fay has always wanted to win from me."

Suya remembered that Meryl did indeed have a ruby ​​dagger. He turned and looked down at Meryl, asking:

"And the knife?"

"Give it to Morgan LeFee, and ask Agravan to use it to save you."

Suya was immediately taken aback.

Agravan is undoubtedly one of their own, and Morgan le Fay is likely the mastermind behind ordering the original owner to kill Arthur.

He was captured by Agravan, so there was no way anything could have happened to him.
Now, unaware of this, in order to save herself, Mary gives Morgan le Fay the "Bible's Enigma," a sword that could potentially remove the "divine right of kings" property from the Sword in the Stone.

Sua could almost see the coronation ceremony of the Queen of Britain.
