An hour later, in the forest.
Having successfully completed her daily mission, Shaya was satisfied and handed over the control of the body to Altoria.
After an hour of self-reflection, Altolia finally recovered from her reluctance and returned to her usual mature and steady self.
"Thank you."
She suddenly expressed her gratitude to Shaya.
As intelligent as she was, how could she not see that Xia Yaqi was using this method to free her?
At the same time, after calming down, she thought of something important.
"This kind of thing…perhaps it can become a tradition.”
Artolia knew that she had all kinds of weaknesses.
In this world, there were things that she didn't want to do, or was unwilling to do, but had no choice.
If it weren't for Shaya, she would have to force herself to do things she didn't want to do.
But now, Shaya's existence had pointed out a new path for her.
"Perhaps under some special circumstances, I can let him control my body to complete some things that I can't do well.”
Artolia thought to herself, and suddenly felt a little guilty.
Obviously, she knew it was wrong.
From a knight's point of view, she couldn't hand over her own matters to others.
This was not fair at all.
But from the King's perspective…she was still too weak.
She did not have her own territory, nor did she have her own subjects. She did not even have a follower.
Under such circumstances, she had to squeeze out all the resources she could use to the extreme.
……
A moment later.
Feeling a little hungry, Altolia lit a bonfire in the forest.
The food was readily available and could even be described as 'top-notch.'
The frozen prey still had the freshest taste.
However, for Shaya, the only advantage of the food was its freshness.
"Oh, it tastes terrible!"
For the picky Shaya, the barbecued meat that hadn't been processed or cooked with any seasoning was simply unpalatable.
To describe it as tasteless as wax was an insult to the term " tasteless as wax ".
However, Altolia was enjoying the food.
"Although it's indeed not very delicious, in terms of nutritional value, it's not much different from those delicious roasted meat.”
Artolia answered matter-of-factly.
Her appetite was indeed a little big, but this did not mean that she was a picky person.
In fact, it was the exact opposite.
For her, whose essence was closer to that of a dragon, replenishing her daily energy was her top priority.
As for the taste, color, and so on…they were all things to consider after successfully protecting the smiles on people's faces.
However, speaking of which…
"It's a bit too wasteful to hunt so many prey at once.”
After finishing her meal, Altolia looked at the prey on the ground. He decided to return to the village and distribute the extra prey to the others in the village.
According to Artolia's values, wasting food was the greatest evil in the world.
Other than that, the most important thing was that these prey were not handed over to the villagers for free.
She wanted to use these prey to exchange for some ready-made bread or jerky to ensure that she would have enough food for the next three days.
However, at this moment, Shaya made another suggestion that made Altoria fall into deep thought.
"I think that you should give these prey to the villagers. It would be better to use these prey as a condition to find some people who were willing to leave with you and accompany you to achieve the king's industry.”
"-if you can really be cruel, of course. The best choice would be to use the king's name to attack the Akator territory and make that old man submit to you.”
"This way, you will have your territory, your people, and Wang Ye.”
Shaya said gloomily.
As a royal chef, he would subconsciously help Altoria out of his " love " for her when she was in trouble.
However, he wanted to get a real body, and he kept challenging Altoria's bottom line. He came up with some 'bad ideas' that sounded useful but would put Artolia in a dilemma.
At this moment, Shaya vaguely felt that she was like the 'dog-headed military advisor' beside Altoria, or the treacherous courtiers beside the emperor in historical stories.
However, he did not reject this feeling. Instead, he enjoyed it.
Ultimately, he was a demonic sword that wanted to occupy the body of the sword wielder!
Did anyone really think that he was a good guy who coveted Artolia's body?
……
After careful consideration, Artolia did not accept Shaya's suggestion.
After all, this village was her hometown, and Sir Ector was the elder who had raised her and whom she respected.
As an upright knight, she could not do such an ungrateful thing.
But at the same time, Artolia had to admit that…
Shaya's suggestion gave her a lot of inspiration.
"Yes."
"I can use food to find people who are willing to follow me.”
"And it's not just food-I can shelter them.”
Artolia knew where her advantage lay.
She had absolute power. Other than Futigeng, she could defeat any force on this island.
Even if other forces joined forces, she would not be afraid.
At the same time, because of the tyrant's rule and the invasion of foreign races, the island was not lacking in people who could not eat enough, were displaced, and lived a precarious life.
For Artoria, who wanted to make a name for herself in the royal family, she was a very powerful woman. The homeless refugees were the " subjects " that she could easily interact with and develop.
But now, she had to face another problem.
"Where should I build my territory?”
Artolia thought awkwardly.
She was the King of Britain.
Nominally, the entire British Isles was her territory.
However, from a realistic point of view, the land of Britain was occupied by knights of all sizes.
They ruled one or several cities and proclaimed themselves kings. They didn't care about Altoria, the rightful king of Britain.
This also meant that…
"The war with them…is inevitable?”
P.S. I believe potatoes were brought to Europe by adventurers in the middle of the 16th century.
As for why Gawain, who lived in the 6th century, knew how to make mashed potatoes?
I can only say, Mushroom, what do you know about Hammer's history?
