Looking Forward to Another World

The sun is gradually setting.

The sky was covered by the sunset glow, which made the sunlight shining on the earth become softer, not as violent as it was during the day.

Li Ge and Arturia walked along the coast together, listening to the sound of the waves and blowing the sea breeze, it felt so comfortable.

However, neither of them opened their mouths to speak, and neither of them turned their eyes to each other. They just walked quietly without saying a word.

This state has been maintained for a long time.

After coming out of Eckert's workshop, the two have been in this state.

Li Ge did not take the initiative to speak.

Artoria didn't know what to say.

As a result, the two of them became what they are now, and for a while, they seemed to have nothing to say.

Of course, this silence does not make people feel uncomfortable. Instead, there is a feeling of serious thinking and careful consideration of what to say next. strength.

Finally, Artoria spoke first.

"So you know about the Son of Prophecy." Arturia smiled foolishly, and said with a haha: "I thought you saved me because you didn't know anything."

After being silent for so long, it turned out that this was the first topic Arturia raised.

This made Li Ge feel ironic.

"Is there something wrong?" Li Ge didn't look at Arturia, but just stared ahead, and continued to walk forward, while saying: "Whether you are the child of prophecy or not, I will rescue you in that situation , so you don't need to worry about this."

This is the truth.

Artoria saw through this instantly, and couldn't help but secretly rejoiced.

However, on the surface, Artoria looked indifferent.

"After all, you are a good person, and you will definitely not die." Artoria held the staff of selection in both hands, followed behind Li Ge step by step, and whispered: "A good person like you, how could you It's an odd thing to say that this country isn't worth saving."

This was Artoria's second concern after the identity issue just now.

She really didn't expect that someone would say such a thing.

Ever since Artoria could remember, everyone around her has been telling her that she is the son of prophecy, destined to defeat the queen, be crowned the true king, save the goblins, and save the existence of this country. Her face told her that this country was not worth saving, and that she didn't need to follow any mission at all.

This kind of remark was quite novel to Artoria, and it also made her feel strange.

Ke Lige actually said so.

"First of all, I'm not a good person, at least the kind of remarks you said that I will definitely not refuse to save him are absolutely wrong." Li Ge said without looking back: "I'm not the kind of person who sees anyone in trouble. People who will rescue without hesitation, for example, if I were you, I would definitely not have any attachment to the village of Tintagel, let alone being thrown into a dungeon I have to prevent others from drawing their swords to kill the goblins in the village under such circumstances, I will never be so kind."

Artoria knew that Li Ge was referring to what happened when she first met the Fairy of the Wind Clan in the dungeon.

At that time, seeing that Li Ge was about to draw his sword to attack, Arturia relied on her unique "eyes" to see through the confidence in Li Ge's heart that he would kill.

If this man pulls out his sword, those fairies from the Wind Clan will definitely be hacked to death.

Artoria, who had such a sense of certainty, didn't even think about it, and directly called out to Li Ge to stop him.

Even though she was imprisoned in a dungeon by the villagers and was about to be handed over to the execution squad for execution, Arturia was still willing to rescue the village goblin. Li Ge made it clear that if it was her, she would definitely do it. less than.

"What kind of a good person am I? Are you a good person? And you're still a bad person!" Li Ge said: "Based on this, your point of view was wrong from the very beginning, understand?"

After finishing speaking, Li Ge stopped and stopped moving forward.

"ah!"

Artoria, who almost hit Li Ge's back, exclaimed suddenly, stopped her steps and braked in time.

Li Ge turned around and looked at Artoria.

"Secondly, I don't think there is anything wrong with what I said." Li Ge stared at Arturia and said, "Let me ask you, do you think this country is worth saving?"

This question directly stopped Arturia.

Is this country worth saving?

Arturia really didn't know.

Before that, Arturia had hardly left Tintagel. Although she had seen many fairies, they were all fairies inside Tintagel, and she had rarely seen fairies outside.

That is to say, although Arturia knew that she was in the Fairy Country, what kind of country was this country? Even if she had seen it, how could she have seen it all?

Since she hasn't seen all of them, and doesn't know the whole face of this country, how can Arturia boast and make an evaluation of whether this country is worth saving?

Li Ge also seemed to see this.

"What I'm going to say next is from my point of view, which is from the human point of view."

Li Ge made such a statement first, and then began to tell.

"For humans, goblins are actually a terrifying existence."

There is no doubt about it.

This is not only because goblins are born with power far stronger than humans, nor is it just because the humans in this country are dominated by goblins.

The true horror of goblins, as far as Li Ge sees it, lies in their thoughts.

This kind of creature is different from human beings, and its outlook on the world, outlook on life, and values ​​are all different from human beings.

"Humans have their own code of conduct and their own moral bottom line, but goblins don't."

"Humans know what to do and what not to do, but goblins don't."

"Humans know how to restrain themselves and influence others, but elves don't."

"The goblins I know exist like this. It should be no different from what you remember, right?"

Regarding Li Ge's question, Artoria chose to remain silent.

These, she really can't refute.

Indeed, the goblin is what Li Ge said.

Take the aforementioned goblin prank incidents in Scotland as an example. In the goblin legends in that area, some goblin tricks are mentioned.

For example, they can cause amnesia in people who happen to pass by.

For example, they lure young children into the forest and keep them from returning home for a week.

For another example, they will replace the newly born baby with a fairy child, or secretly put some animal carcasses at the door of other people's house to scare humans.

These pranks are just pranks in the eyes of the goblins, just a small joke, they just do it for fun, just for fun, just to have fun watching the panicked appearance of humans, but their jokes, to humans, But it is an out-and-out crisis.

People who lose their memory forget all important people and things and become walking dead.

When the child who was lured into the forest was found a week later, he had already been eaten by wild beasts, leaving only the carcass.

Newborn babies are lost, parents can’t be found alive, and there are many examples of people who die in despair. People who are secretly placed with animal carcasses at their door will be suspected of being members of a cult, and then they will be arrested. The slander, and finally fled amid other people's rumors, the mild ones moved to other places, and the severe ones were autistic and depressed.

This is the so-called goblin prank.

In their view, this is just a game, but to human beings, it is a matter of life and death.

In their view, this is just a frolic, but for humans, it is enough to kill.

Goblins are like this, they don’t care about gain or loss, they don’t care about importance, they will do something for pure enjoyment, even if it won’t bring any benefits, as long as they can entertain themselves, they will do it.

The goblins in this country also don't have the same concept of good and evil as humans.

They are sometimes kind and will entertain you graciously.

They can be cruel at times, and won't hesitate to screw the heads off of those around them.

They are moody.

They are temperamental.

As long as there is a reason, they will even want to confront those close to them with swords, or even torture them to death. This is the goblin.

Because goblins live long and have tenacious vitality, they can survive just by being there, and they can do most things, so they will not work hard and grow, and will not try their best to survive and prosper, and accumulate knowledge , will only do something they think is interesting.

What is the value of saving such goblins and the countries where these goblins exist?

"You should also know, right? How selfish the goblin is!"

Li Ge's blunt words made Artoria choose to remain silent again.

Others don't know, but Li Ge knows what this girl who is regarded as the son of prophecy and the savior has experienced in the village of Tintagel.

Sixteen years ago, when Arturia was a newborn baby, she drifted here with her staff of choice, and was discovered and taken in by the elf of this village, and they could go on a boat with her. The treasure that came was divided up by the goblins in the village.

The villagers of Tintagel knew that Artoria was the Son of Prophecy and raised her, but they raised her as a horse and kept her in the stables.

The goblin in the village intends to sell Artoria to the queen when she grows up, because the queen is looking for the son of prophecy.

Arturia also lived a life of being watched, cruelly trained and even bullied in the village. A few years ago, two toes were frozen off because the place where she lived was too cold.

Because she is not born strong, but will grow up like a human being. Until now, she has not shown the powerful power that matches the Son of Prophecy. The property that drifted with her to Tintagel was almost used by the villagers. It's all gone, so seeing that Artoria is about to turn 16, almost the age to embark on a tour, the elves in the village became anxious.

If Artoria fails to demonstrate the power that matches the Son of Prophecy, then her identity will be questioned.

If her identity is questioned and she is suspected of not being the real Son of Prophecy, then the Queen will not pay a high price to buy her.

Therefore, in order to prove that Arturia is the real child of prophecy, the goblin of the village asks her to kill Eckert.

Artoria didn't do anything, and the person who exposed her was the one who grew up with Arturia, and claimed to be her friend, her little fairy.

"Such a goblin is worth saving?"

Li Ge didn't even bother to laugh at him, he just said something.

"Sorry, I don't think so."

After the voice fell, the response that Artoria could give was silence, besides silence.

To be honest, Artoria is not incomprehensible to Li Ge's feelings.

For others, being treated like this by goblins, they still have to save them, save their country or something, that would be the greatest joke in the world.

However... Artoria herself didn't feel much about it.

Because she has eyes that can see through lies.

Because she knew that the people in the village had no good intentions for her.

Therefore, even though she was abused like this, Arturia actually didn't have much emotional ups and downs, because she knew things would turn out like this.

To sum it up in one sentence, you are already mentally prepared, so how can you have other emotions?

only……

"It's true."

Arturia couldn't help but blurt out her inner thoughts.

"I don't actually have much motivation to save the goblin country myself."

That's right, Artoria has no motivation to save the Fairy Kingdom.

She knew her mission was to save the country.

She knew that she came here to redeem the goblin.

But knowing Gui knew that she didn't get any good memories in this country, and she really didn't have the urge to do anything for the goblins here.

So far, she has only lived to this age in a daze, because everyone in the village hopes that she is the son of prophecy. In order not to be devoured by the evil intentions of those demons, she has to cooperate with them and work hard like Things the Son of Prophecy would do.

"In the final analysis, you are also confused, right?" Li Ge said lightly to Artoria: "After I leave the village, I am confused whether I should embark on a tour trip, or whether I have to go to save the Fairy Kingdom. effort."

These words hit Artoria's heart.

"...What about you?" Arturia concealed her feelings, smiled at Li Ge, and said, "You are so powerful, don't you want to do something for the humans in the Fairy Kingdom?"

In Artoria's view, Li Ge's power is much stronger than most fairies.

Although she didn't see Li Ge's real fighting appearance, just because Li Ge can fly around in the sky at will, and can also flash back and forth casually like teleportation, Li Ge is already a Stronger than most goblins.

Although the elves of the Wind Clan are not as powerful as the elves of the Fang Clan, Li Ge can easily trap them, and it can be seen that his strength is far stronger than ordinary elves.

With him like this, Artoria didn't find it strange at all even if he turned against the queen for the treatment of the human race.

If he really had such an idea, he, the son of the prophecy who defeated the queen in the prophecy, should be a very useful weapon for him, right?

Just when Artoria was thinking this way, a hand was stretched out in front of her at an elusive speed.

"Snapped!"

In the next second, a skull exploded on Artoria's forehead.

"it hurts!"

Arturia clutched her forehead, and backed away, crying out in pain.

"You, what are you doing!?"

Artoria glared at Li Ge with tears in the corner of her eyes.

"I should be the one who asked you this, right?" Li Ge withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, and said, "Although I don't have fairy eyes that can see through lies like you, I can probably guess that you just now Thinking about something very rude."

"I, I was just thinking about it!" Arturia complained: "I didn't say it, as for hitting my forehead?"

"It's good enough that I didn't spank you."

Li Ge glanced behind Artoria, causing the girl to jump out instantly in fright, and subconsciously covered her back.

Li Ge smiled speechlessly, turned around again, and turned his back to Artoria.

"I haven't decided what to do, after all, I'm new here."

"I will not say with certainty that I will not go to war with that queen in the future."

"However, even if I want to start a war with her, I won't make a fuss about you, a fledgling little elf."

With that said, Li Ge stepped forward.

"If you really want to fight, I will rush into Camelot's royal city and fight that queen."

"To be honest, I'm still looking forward to it."

"Whether it's the queen or the knights who serve the queen, they should all be very strong, right?"

At this point, Li Ge's body emerged with a little grudge.

Knowing that this was Li Ge's innermost thoughts, Arturia could tell that this person was indeed looking forward to it, even excited.

"Battle mad..."

Arturia started to slander, and while quickly following Li Ge, she felt a sense of peace in her heart for some reason.

At least, none of what this man said was false.

Compared with those people I have seen so far, compared with the malice and ugly thoughts I have felt so far, this person in front of me is so real and so calm.

Artoria smiled unconsciously.

Suddenly, Li Ge stopped again.

"what happened again?"

Artoria hurriedly braked and complained.

Li Ge looked straight in one direction, and after a while, he spoke like this.

"Looks like we're in trouble."
