Fate: I Will Eventually Become the Hero of Justice

Chapter 109

Britain and Ireland are separated by the sea and are divided into three regions, England, Scotland, and Wales.

During the 5th century AD, Britain was in a state of turmoil due to the internal conflicts and the country was invaded by various foreign enemies.

While the Picts took control of Scotland, Vortigern, a petty king, invited the Anglo-Saxons to the British coast at the intersection of Scotland and England. These invaders seized the Roman hub city of Londinium and aimed to conquer Britain.

During that time, the land belonging to the Britons was limited to the southern part of England and Wales.

As the kingdoms merged, several powerful rulers emerged, but the most dominant of them all was the Kingdom of Camelot, governed by King Uther Pendragon.

Located on the border between Wales and England, the Kingdom of Camelot held the power to subdue all the other kings.

Ector's estate was situated near the Kingdom of Camelot.

Shirou walked towards the town with the coins in his hand, and Kay hooked his shoulder and whispered.

"You're quite the trickster, aren't you?" Kay said with a smirk. "You actually managed to fool my sister!"

"Kay, don't accuse me wrongly. I didn't trick her," Shirou chuckled. "Besides, I never said anything to her."

Kay scoffed and gave Shirou a disdainful look.

Just then, Artoria, who was walking ahead of them, turned around and asked, "Brother, Guinevere, what are you talking about? Come on, we need to pick up the pace. We can't afford to waste time."

Kay let out a sigh. "Sis, sometimes you need to slow down and appreciate what you're protecting."

"Merlin taught me that wasting time is just as bad as giving up," she replied, her expression serious.

"We're not wasting time, Artoria," Shirou interjected. "We're surveying the land. Think about it - if the enemy were to attack and we're not familiar with the terrain, how can we launch an effective counterattack? By getting to know the lay of the land beforehand, we can give the king detailed information when the enemy arrives, which will help us mount a successful defense."

"Guinevere, you worry too much," Artoria said with confidence. "Vortigern won't break through the northern kings' front lines."

"Perhaps, but it's always better to be prepared for the worst. Being proactive is more effective than being caught off guard, wouldn't you agree, Artoria?" Shirou asked with a smile.

Artoria paused for a moment, considering his words. "I see... I apologize for my impertinence. You have a point. Let's take some time to survey the area."

"Wow!" Kay exclaimed, giving Shirou a thumbs up.

Shirou shook his head modestly. "It's nothing, just a suggestion that others can consider."

Kay pondered this for a moment.

Soon, they arrived at the town. A castle city in the Walcon territory, under the governance of the Kingdom of Camelot.

If magecraft was excluded, modern ordinary people might assume that ancient people lived in great poverty. However, thanks to magecraft, it was beyond their imagination.

In the 5th century, remnants of the Age of Gods still existed in Britain, and the world of magecraft was still relatively prosperous.

Magi could be found everywhere, and magecraft and alchemy had brought prosperity to the land of this ancient world that was vastly different from the materialistic world.
