After the knighting ceremony, Marika suggests to Kevin that he should be the representative of the elves in the Golden Dynasty during her discussion with the elves. As the main planner of the uprising, Marika is very optimistic about Kevin's ability. Kevin was quite flattered, he readily agreed. Kevin has many ambitions in his heart, and this kind of talent is exactly what Marika needs.
After careful investigation in the following days, the Banished knights and exiled soldiers found the similar slave market as the ones in Riley City. The Banished Knights complied with the new law, arresting all guilty participants and freeing the slaves. All the participants who pleaded guilty were sentenced to impalement for public display, including several local low-ranking nobles, which made the elves breathe a sigh of relief.
The next step is the routine operation, giving grace to the whole city, placing sites of grace at key points in the city, and summoning 1,000 Godrick soldiers and 100 Godrick knights to guard in the city.
The above matters kept Marika busy for two consecutive days. Finally, on the third day in Tuckett City, Marika finally found time to draw and get a gacha pull in. Marika opened the long awaited system in the room of the city lord where she stayed, and clicked on the multiverse gacha pull.
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Greek-style women's aristocratic clothing (F), Jin Sakai "The Ghost" (D), "Silver Arm" Bedivere (C)"
The playful voice of the system sounded again, listing Marika's gacha prizes.
"Women's clothes? Seems pretty useless."
Marika held the women's aristocratic clothing in her hand, and complained in disappointment. It was a long women's dress with a Greek-style shawl. Its color is also a wheat color that matches Marika's golden hair.
"No way, this is gacha! And this dress was produced after careful design by me! Hurry up and say thank you!"
"Yes yes, thank you."
"Say it like you mean it!"
"Fine. Thank you."
"Hurry up and take a look at the characters you got."
"Okay, okay, I'll take a look. Really, why are you so anxious today?"
Marika opened the companion character interface while muttering.

Biography:
From the video game "Ghost of Tsushima", Jin Sakai is the protagonist of the game. Born on Tsushima Island in the twelfth century, his parents died when he was young, and he was raised by his uncle Shimura, who trained him as a samurai. When the Mongolian army attacked Tsushima Island, he and his uncle led the warriors on the island to fight back, but they were all wiped out. Only he and his uncle survived. In order to protect his homeland and save his uncle, he decided to fight against the Mongolian army by abandoning Bushido, and turned into "the Ghost", awakened from the underworld to meet his enemy. The Jin Sakai summoned by the host, is the version after the main game and DLC storyline. So he doesn't insist too much on Bushido, but he is still the hero who has a strong sense of justice and is willing to stand up for ordinary people. His favorite things are fish, fruit, and seaweed.
'Well, although he is not particularly powerful, his skills are very diverse. '
Marika looked at Jin Sakai's character card and pondered.
'But it seems that there is some overlap with Ladybug in terms of skill sets. Hmm... But if the two of them form a team, maybe there will be some good chemistry? '
As an otaku in her previous life, Malika naturally played the 3A action game "Ghost of Tsushima". For the protagonist Jin Sakai, Marika finds his character one of a strong sense of moral justice. Marika looked forward to interacting with him.
"Then let's start summoning!"
Marika pressed the system's summon button.
After a burst of summoning golden light, a Japanese man dressed as a ninja appeared in front of her eyes. His somewhat greasy black hair was tied into a bun common to the samurai era. His fairly good-looking face had obvious stubble, which gave him a vicissitudes of life. The black ninja armor on his body was obviously tailor-made, and it was matched with a black broken cloak. His family samurai sword and tanto he carries have exquisite dark blue scabbards. Marika can see that Jin takes good care of them, which is enough to show his delicate attention to detail.
"I am Jin Sakai, greetings to you my lord."
Jin bowed 90 degrees to Marika, befitting standard samurai etiquette.
"Thank you, my lord, for not caring about my status as a rogue, and willing to accept me as a retainer."
"Don't mention it, the famous ninja, Jin Sakai. I am glad to have you as my retainer!"
Thank you my lord."
Hearing Marika's appreciation for him, Jin was happy but kept his courtesy. His modest attitude made Marika even more satisfied.
"Jin Sakai, to tell you the truth,I happen to lack an intelligence officer to collect intelligence for me. Are you interested in taking up this position?"
"Intelligence officer? Since the lord has a need, I will naturally not refuse."
"Very good! Then I'll leave it to you, Lord Sakai"
"Thank you for your favor, my lord."
Jin was very happy to be favored by his master when he first arrived. He quickly knelt down on his knees and kowtowed with standard samurai etiquette.
After getting up, Jin immediately asked Marika with great enthusiasm:
"Then, what tasks does my lord have to entrust to the minister? Your retainer shall try his best to complete your given task in order to repay your favors, my lord."
"Well... I don't have any important tasks for you to deal with right now... Well! Don't worry, I will arrange for you to meet with one of my retainers code-named "Ladybug". He will be responsible for assigning tasks to you in the future, so remember to get along well with him! "
"Yes my lord!"
Marika was relieved to see Jin's enthusiasm. So she called over a Lyndell knight and told him to lead Jin to find Ladybug.
After sending Jin Sakai away, Marika opened the system panel again to check the second character she got.

Biography:
From the anime "Fate/Grand Order". Bedivere was the first knight to follow King Arthur and one of the members of the original Knights of the Round Table. He also served as the deacon of King Arthur's court and was responsible for taking care of King Arthur's daily life. He is also one of the Knights of the Round Table who set out to find the Holy Grail for King Arthur. Bedivere was the only one who accompanied King Arthur all his life, and he personally sent King Arthur to Avalon, the holy land that all kings yearned for, and was his first and last knight. He is a heroic knight with a calm and gentle personality and a quick mind. He is polite and courteous, and has strong negotiation skills. Despite being one-armed, he is an excellent general and a knight with excellent sword skills. In order to make up for the disadvantage of being one-armed, Merlin gave a replica of the same name as the "Silver Arm (Agateram)" used by the Celtic god of war, Nuadha Airgetlam. Depending on the timeline, the power setting of "Silver Arm" is also different. Bedivere's mental toughness and tenacity of willpower have reached an astonishing level, that even King Arthur is impressed by. This time the host summoned the Bedivere who had gone through the sixth singularity. His class is Saber, and the host will also get the command spell generated by summoning the servant.
"Bedivere?"
Marika muttered unconsciously.
Bedivere is a character that Marika liked very much when watching the Fate series in her previous life. Bedivere's sincere feelings for King Arthur have always moved her, especially the scene where he sacrificed his life to return Excalibur to King Arthur in the Sixth singularity: the Realm of the Sacred round table-Camelot. It was one of the few famous anime scenes that made Marika really cry.
"I think I will be really looking forward to this."
Marika muttered to herself, and then pressed the summon button.
A burst of golden light stronger than before appeared in front of her. Marika remembered that this reaction only occurred once when Achilles was summoned.
'Maybe it's because they are all heroic spirits? '
Marika guessed. Heroic spirits are the product of the spirits of heroes that melded with human phantasy, and they can be summoned when humanity is facing a crisis. Thinking about it this way can explain why the summoned golden light is more intense.

While Marika was thinking, the golden light gradually dissipated, revealing the original Knight of the Round Table.
An upright appearance, slender figure, trance neutral beauty. His long pale blonde hair was tied into a neat ponytail. In Marika's eyes, Bedivere is undoubtedly a beautiful young man. Marika must say she really did find him quite charming. Unlike the wild style of Achilles or the clown-like Ladybug, Bedivere has a dream-like aura of a Prince Charming. For some reason, Marika felt that he was the most in line with her aesthetics. The handsome man in front of her slowly opened his eyes.
"Saber, Bedivere. I will be your servant from now on. I believe this is all—"
When Bedivere opened his eyes and saw his Master, his self-introduction that he prepared came to an abrupt end at this moment.
"My...king?"
The same blond hair, the same hairstyle, the same armor, the same holy sword, and the same smile, Bedivere couldn't believe his eyes. At the end of the sixth singularity, he thought that he would never be able to see his king who lost herself within the Holy Lance. But now his beloved King appeared before his eyes again.
"Bedivere?"
Marika asked aloud. Seeing Bedivere's completely dumbfounded expression, Marika thought that something went wrong in the summoning ceremony. But when she looked down at herself, she remembered that she was still wearing the armor of Lancer Artoria. Bedivere must have mistook her for King Arthur.
'Her voice is different? '
It wasn't until Marika spoke that Bedivere came back to his senses. He took a closer look at his Master again. Her figure is more plump, and her height is much higher than the original King Arthur. And her appearance is also different in many details, but the most obvious part is her pair of golden eyes. Bedivere can perceive divinity from it, but her essence is different from the King Arthur who was controlled by the holy lance. There is no coldness in it, only spring-like warmth.
"Ah! I'm sorry Master, I lost my composure just now."
"Huh? Ah, um. It's okay."
Marika herself was a little embarrassed.
'Shit! If I knew it earlier, I would change my clothes then summon him. Now what do I do?! Bedivere won't be angry when he sees me dressed like this, will he? '
Marika thought anxiously. Seeing Bedywell's slightly gloomy face, she panicked even more.
"Master, where did you get this armor and Excalibur from?"
Bedivere asked in a cold voice, at least Marika thought he did in her panicked imagination.
"Ah! Er... it was given to me by the system."
Marika chooses to tell the truth. If she lies now, it will definitely make Bedivere dislike her more.
"I see, I see."
"Um!I know I might have caused some misunderstanding with my current attire, but I—"
"Don't worry, Master, I didn't mean to blame you. Since the system chose you as the successor of Excalibur and the armor of my king, there must be a good reason for it. Maybe this is all part of Alaya's plan?"
Marika was relieved to hear that Bedivere was not angry. Thinking that Bedivere would dislike her made Marika strangely panicked for no reason. Maybe it's because he is a heroic spirit, or is there another reason?
"Then, Master, please allow me to introduce myself again. I am Bedivere, class: Saber. From now on, I will fight for you as your servant. I look forward to working with you."
Bedivere solemnly performed a knight salute. In response, Marika finally smiled and said:
"Emm! The pleasure is mine, Sir Bedivere."
In that moment, the king and the knight both felt mysteriously attracted to each other under something that could not be described clearly.
