Absolute Speed ​​of a Certain Anime

He planned to observe the city called Sheffield for a while longer to see what kind of rule the lords here implemented.

After crossing the wheat field, Jiang Li arrived at the main gate of Sheffield.

"What a magnificent city wall! This is Sheffield. The lord here must be a good man, right?"

"Ah, does Anise sympathize with good walls? But the Lord is not necessarily a good man. Boggarts are notoriously unkind!"

Jiang Li was about to go through the main gate when he saw a strange yet familiar figure.

The girl known as Annes looked in wonder at the imposing walls of Sheffield.

She was wearing rough iron armor, carrying a cross shield in one hand, and her short silver-pink hair covered one eye. Her delicate face and plump figure made her look like a real beautiful girl.

Jiang Li: “???”

Isn’t this a little eggplant!

Chapter 943: Boggart Without Love

2023-06-01

Jiang Li didn't know anyone from Chaldea.

Although he was born and raised in the singularity, the singularity was recognized and protected by the suppressing force. Chaldea has not even discovered the existence of the singularity and has never been there.

Whether it was the last human Master, Fujimaru Ritsuka, or the sub-servant, Se Eggplant, and schoolmate Mash Kyrielight, they all remained at the point where Jiang Li knew them, but they did not know Jiang Li.

Ever since coming to the British Lostbelt, Jiang Li knew that he would meet Chaldea sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon. He ran into Se Qiezi in Sheffield!

But what about you Guda?

Why are there three goblins beside you instead of Guda?

For a moment, Jiang Li even thought of the book about Mashu and the goblins, and quickly threw the inappropriate scene out of his mind.

And why did those goblins call her "Annis" instead of Mashu?

Isn't it Mashu himself?

No, no, no, not really. After all, she is the heroine of the original novel, and her features are so obvious, there is no way I could have made a mistake!

Jiang Li felt that he might have inserted himself into the main plot.

He felt that he couldn't just sit back and watch Se Qiezi's condition, so he followed quietly.

The three goblins took Mashu to the castle in the center of Sheffield city.

The castle was built on a raised hill, with only a few winding mountain roads connecting the upper and lower parts. The highest point was at least 50 meters above the horizon, and ordinary people would have to rest several times to run back and forth.

"This is the castle where the Lord of Sheffield, the Boggart the Liar, the Boggart without Love, lives!"

"Why do you say that the Lord is a big talker and has no love?"

"That Boggart is one of the most influential figures in the Fang Clan. He once competed with Woodworth, the Fang Clan leader, for the position of Clan Leader, but was defeated and expelled from Oxford. When vying for the position of Lord of Norwich, he was defeated and expelled from Norwich by Spriggan, the Tu Clan leader. He always boasts, but each time he is driven away in disgrace. Over time, everyone calls him a big talker!"

The second and more talkative of the three goblin brothers looked around and chuckled softly about the lord's past jokes.

"He's said to be loveless because the goblins who had been his wives all hated him and always betrayed him when he was about to win. So Boggart lost his trust in female goblins and only wanted to marry human women."

The third brother, who seemed a little taciturn, added.

"Isn't that pitiful?"

Mashu, who now goes by the name Annis, never imagined that it would be such an absurd story.

I thought Boggart was a mean-spirited villain, but isn't he completely a victim?

He competed with Woodworth for the position of the head of the Ya clan, and competed with Spriggan for the position of Lord of Norwich... but both times he was defeated because of his wife's betrayal. This Boggart must have a very poor eye for choosing a wife!

Jiang Li was secretly complaining in his heart.

He followed the four people at full speed. No one around noticed his figure, as if they had subconsciously ignored him.

"Next I have to sacrifice Annis to the Boggart. I'm a little reluctant!"

The eldest of the three brothers, who looked a bit strong, looked unexpectedly depressed.

"Rob, don't be soft-hearted just because Annis saved us. If we can't get more treasure, we'll die next year because our vitality is drained away!"

While Mashu in front was not paying attention, the third brother Winky warned the eldest brother Rob in a cold voice.

"I, I know!"

Boss Rob stuttered, gritted his teeth and hardened his heart.

"Come on, let's go meet the Boggart!"

…………

In the huge castle, led by human soldiers, the three goblin brothers and Mash entered the castle hall and met Boggart, the lord of Sheffield.

Boggart is a tall and strong lion man with white hair all over his body and a head full of fangs, which is very intimidating.

But unlike his burly and ferocious appearance, he was wearing a very luxurious aristocratic suit, and his every move and posture revealed elegance.

It looked incredibly awkward, but there was no sense of deliberateness from Bogut. He seemed to have really engraved etiquette into his bones.

"Master Boggart, Annis is the child of prophecy we are offering!"

Facing the lion man sitting on the throne, who naturally exuded the majesty of a superior fairy, Rob showed a flattering smile on his face.

"On the way to Sheffield, we encountered a group of Mors. We were almost wiped out, but Annis defeated them with a few blows using her iron weapons. She's a fairy who's not afraid of the Mors' poison. Who else could do such a thing? And she's so young. If she's not the Child of Prophecy, who else could be?"

Rob is like a mercenary businessman, trying hard to exaggerate the value of his products.

Mashu stood there quietly, not knowing what she was thinking. Even though she was treated like this, she had no intention of getting angry or taking action.

"You said she was a fairy?"

The lion man stood up and put his hands behind his back like a gentleman, but there was a harsh look in his eyes.

"Fools, use your noses to smell her. She smells only of humans, not a fairy at all! And you, so ignorant, don't even know that fairies immune to Morse's poison aren't just the Children of Prophecy. Even Fairy Knights can do this!"

Rob was startled by the yelling and was speechless.

The three brothers looked at each other and felt that the situation was not good.

"In Sheffield, where I rule, lies and deception are punishable by death! Come, chop them up!"

The lion man's face was full of ferocity and his teeth were chattering.

"Wait, wait a minute, we won't sell it, we won't sell it!"

"Am I easy to tease? You're committing an even greater crime!"

Boggart was immediately furious.

The three Rob brothers were almost crying, with regret and fear written all over their faces.

Human soldiers surrounded the door and stabbed the three goblin goblins with their spears.

"Please wait!"

Seeing that the faces of the three people had turned green, a delicate cry suddenly rang out.

The huge cross shield turned skillfully, knocking the soldiers away one by one.

"They didn't lie, the problem is me, so please don't take it out on them!"

Mashu protected the three goblins behind her and looked at the Boggart with a tense expression.

"How dare you fight back? Someone come quickly——"

Seeing Mashu's bravery, the guards hurriedly called for reinforcements.

"Idiots, she's not hostile, otherwise you would have been dead just now, why don't you retreat now!"

"Yes, Master Boggart!"

Boggart shouted coldly and drove away the panicked soldiers, his expression slightly relaxed.

Chapter 944 How many do you have?

2023-06-01

"Since you showed mercy to the soldiers, I'll give you a chance to communicate. Tell me, what's your problem?"

Oh.

He seems to be a person who can take it or leave it.

Jiang Li's opinion of this Boggart had changed a little. Seeing that he was about to kill the three goblins, he thought he was an unpredictable tyrant. But now it seems that he was too sensitive to lies because he had been betrayed too many times.

"Thank you for your kindness."

Mashu was also stunned for a moment, then nodded gratefully.

"In fact, they are not at fault. They just misunderstood."

"Misunderstand?"

"Yes, actually I forgot who I am. I can't even tell whether I'm a human or a fairy. Mr. Rob and the others just mistook me for a fairy, so they didn't lie!"

"Have you forgotten who you are?"

The Boggart extended its paw and methodically combed the hair on its lower face.

"I see. Did you come from the Nameless Forest?"

"Yes, yes, Master Boggart! We were indeed shopping in that area, and meeting Annis was just a coincidence. Every year, one or two people like Annis emerge from the Nameless Forest. Oh, and we were the ones who gave her the name Annis!"

Rob was in tears and was busy explaining.

"Hmph, no need to elaborate. I know exactly what low-level goblins will do to survive!"

Boggart stared at the three brothers with disdain, his face full of contempt.

"However, the Nameless Forest... Two hundred years ago, when the caterpillar plague struck, the Queen let out her first woman's scream. Fearful of insects, she was momentarily helpless, wondering what might become of the Fairyland. Back then, ■■■■ (Bagster) traveled to Cornwall and devoured Lord Foul Weather, inheriting his power and successfully resolving the caterpillar plague. Before his death, Foul Weather left behind a cursed mist that would cause anyone who entered to lose their self-identity."

Boggart sighed as he revealed the secret of the past, and glanced at Mashu, who seemed to understand but not quite, with a look of mockery in his eyes.

"After that, the Cornish coast was transformed into a nameless forest due to the cursed fog. Even the Queen was helpless against it. I never thought you would stray into it... Hmph, it doesn't matter. Anyway, all you need is to be the child of prophecy!"

"The child of prophecy? But I am really—"

"I said it was you!"

Boggart rudely interrupted Mash's doubts.

"Come here, drive these fairies out, give the Son of Prophecy's property to them faithfully, and then send the Son of Prophecy to Habertlot's tailoring room and have that weaving fairy make a wedding dress for him in the shortest possible time!"

"Wedding dress?"

"I really liked your attack just now, so I'm going to marry you and make you my bride number 62!"

"B-bride?!"

Caught off guard, Mashu was taken away by human soldiers.

In the deserted hall, Boggart stood there quietly.

There was no urgency or lust in his eyes, only ruthless calculations like those in war.

"The Child of Prophecy...is not afraid of Morse, and his strength rivals that of the Fairy Knight...If used wisely—"

The righteousness of the Queen's uprising has been further strengthened!

The fairies who are looking forward to the appearance of the Son of Prophecy will surely flock to him once they know that he has appeared, bringing new vitality to Sheffield!

Therefore, no matter whether this Annis is the child of prophecy or not, he will make her the real child of prophecy!

"Hey."

Boggart was slightly stunned.

I'm the only one here, where does that sound come from?

He turned around subconsciously.

Then he saw a big shoe horn kicking him straight in the face!
