Chapter 623: 500 is really despicable! Outsider!_2
For the purpose of protecting his lord and preventing someone from seizing the opportunity to harm Aurora, it was quite natural for Koral to be so sensitive and alert.
It’s just that Altoria clearly hadn’t taken these things into account, so much so, that she did things in front of Koral that could set off his vigilance, and this too was an unavoidable development.
Seeing a group of human guards about to reach him and point their spears at him, Reiger let out a sigh.
"Stop," Reiger said to Koral, "they are no match for me, and to avoid unnecessary conflict, it’s still time to call them back."
Upon hearing this, Koral did not follow the instruction but instead, his expression turned even colder.
"Such big talk, when you all get to the prison, you’ll have plenty of time to talk."
Koral waved his hand without another word.
"Attack!"
Instantly, one after another, the guards charged towards the direction of Reiger and Altoria.
"Reiger!"
Altoria cried out.
However, what she shouted was this.
"They’re just humans! Don’t hurt them!"
That nearly made Reiger roll his eyes.
I’m human too, right? Isn’t the condition the same?
Thinking this, Reiger still refrained from using lethal methods.
"[All Species Binding]."
He activated the Binding Magic, allowing the Array at his feet to expand and in a single sweep, enveloped all the human guards charging towards them, trapping them all.
"----
The next second, the multitude of human guards were immobilized simultaneously, as if invisible chains bound them, making them immovable.
This left the guards wide-eyed and also made Koral’s expression shift slightly.
"Magic?"
Koral questioned sharply.
"Who are you?"
This question elicited a response that profoundly shook Koral’s heart.
"Are you referring to me?" Reiger lifted his eyelids, looked towards that fairy-like lady, and unabashedly said, "It does get a bit complicated, but if I just say that the reason this city has turned into what it is now is because Lancelot and her companions want to capture me, you should be able to understand, right?"
Hearing this, not only the human guards who were bound at the scene, but even Koral could not help but gasp.
"You, you’re the child of prophecy?"
With that statement, this time, it was Reiger’s and Altoria’s expressions that went wrong.
"...So, she still doesn’t know your true identity?" Reiger murmured to Altoria.
"...No one would believe me anyway," Altoria said, becoming slightly depressed.
She herself didn’t know how to describe the current situation, even though she was the true child of prophecy; somehow, and from some point unknown, the fact that Reiger was the child of prophecy had spread rapidly throughout Britain, leading all fairies to believe that the prophesied child was the husband Queen Morgan had chosen, a magician capable of fighting Lancelot, the Elf Knight, Knight Gawain, and the chief of the Tusk Clan, Woodworth, without losing.
This made the tale of the child of prophecy leave a profoundly deep impression among all the fairies within just a month, and also led to all fairies mistaking the features of the prophesied child.
The other party is Queen Morgan’s husband, so he’s a man.
He can stand against Lancelot, Gawain, and Woodworth, so he’s a formidable one.
He destroyed half of Salisbury, so he is a terrifying person whom even the queen must be wary of.
And all these traits were far removed from Altoria.
Under such circumstances, if Altoria dared walk down the street and tell people that she was the real child of prophecy, they would definitely give her the cold shoulder.
"The child of prophecy is a man, so are you a man?"
Just with that sentence, Altoria would have to retreat.
Given this, Altoria had realized that she seemed to be venturing further and further down the path of being a counterfeit child of prophecy.
With that, the villagers of Tintagel Village, who believed Altoria was a fake, should be able to rest in peace now, shouldn’t they?
Thinking of this, Altoria suddenly felt somewhat withdrawn.
"It can’t be that even the chief of the Wind Clan still doesn’t know about this, can it?"
Without being considerate of Altoria’s feelings, Reiger inquired once more.
"..."
Altoria did not speak but turned her head away.
"..."
Reiger resisted the urge to rub his temples, feeling utterly speechless.
So, being the child of prophecy had been established in the Fairy Country of Britain?
Then, what was Altoria’s identity now?
Koral quickly answered that question for Reiger.
"I knew it, you, a fairy with unclear clan affiliations, definitely have issues," Koral glared at Altoria, accusingly said, "You’re from the outside world, aren’t you? And you’re also a magician?"
"Hearing about a foreign magician aiding the child of prophecy to overthrow the queen’s rule and to crown the true king, it seems now that you are that foreign magician?"
"You approached Lady Aurora to use her, trying to find a way to rescue the child of prophecy, who’s confined in the palace?"
What despicable behavior, foreigner!"
While accusing, Koral seemed to have completely determined Altoria’s identity, looking at Reiger and Altoria as if they were the great devil and his loyal henchman respectively, his steps slowly backing away, as if he was about to die but still had to find a way to send out this shocking news.
