Artoria the Big Liar

"The word 'Suzheng' has also been used by Artoria. The plate armor used by Albion's army was designed by Artoria herself through mathematics, mechanics and material science. This word means the protection of the planet. The structure and laws interfere to make it change in a certain extreme direction. Suzhen plate armor can keep the Britons fighting on the mainland, and will not become weak because of the mysterious thinness. This kind of power has never been born However, it is essentially the principles and concepts obtained from the analysis of the power of civilization used by the pioneers of the stars. "To Suzheng" is a literal meaning, a kind of correction and restoration power for "Suzheng". Because it is a restoration at the rule level , its principles and characteristics will be very different from ordinary restoration. In severe cases, it will even manifest itself as destruction and regeneration.”

"Isn't this the power of the holy sword?"

"The power of the holy sword is a kind of anti-suzheng, and there are other anti-suzheng weapons to deal with different situations. So the child is actually an intelligence collection device modeled on King Arthur. She is the holy sword itself, forged The process of the holy sword is the process of changing her back to her original form. During this process, her memories and feelings will be stripped out as impurities, and may not be read again until the casting is completed."

I was too surprised to speak.Even if I speculated about the world consciousness with the greatest malice, I never imagined that it would be so cruel, even depriving a life of its due right to exist, and treating a savior as a broiler or a beef cattle.After the information collection was completed, she was slaughtered, and her blood, flesh and bones were used to correct this wrong lorebelt.

"But our Artoria is different. She forged the holy sword of our world with her oath as the raw material, and has a new possibility. And with another possibility, the different places can be eliminated Drop, gather the same places into laws, and finally deepen the laws into principles. Therefore, even the world's plan is no longer a golden rule. Mordred has many choices to forge her own holy sword. "

However, from Merlin's pink pupils, I read her feelings at this time.

The corner of my mouth raised a smile, and I said in a teasing way: "Did I say bad things about Merlin here, and you became competitive instead? That Merlin must be Saber's Merlin, right? Saber's achievements are not higher than Artoria's."

"But Saber is relieved... Do you understand what that means? I said 'relaxed'." Meilin spoke excitedly, and tears even glistened in her pupils. "Our Artoria is not called 'relaxing' at all, it's just 'admitting failure', just let it go. Their moods are different..."

"Okay, okay. If you want to compete with that Merlin, then compete. Our Merlin, yes! Over there Merlin, no! Anyway, you must win. That Merlin didn't even dare to express his own opinion, What else could he have done? What else could he have done? He couldn't do anything but let that kid grow wild."

"actually, I……"

I quickly interrupted Mei Lin, changed the subject, and asked her: "Didn't you say you want to help Mordred? We should take action? If we don't do anything, just chat here, then we must do everything." Can't it?"

{【{

Mei Lin let out a long sigh of relief, with gratitude in her eyes, she said, "It's time to act—first of all, we're going to the 'Paradise' connected by the Lost Belt."

◆Mordred◆

I closed my eyes, felt the existence around me, and walked on the road leading to nowhere.

The reason for doing this is to know the location of Chaldea.I lack information, and Chaldea, as a human security agency for pan-human history, needs all kinds of information—such as the way to go to Paradise.

Only when I reach Paradise can I go to the furnace.Only when I got to the furnace did I know what it takes to forge a holy sword--a task I feel I can accomplish in no time.No reason, just a feeling.

But within a few minutes, I was forced to stop.

In my senses, there is a presence running towards me.

The speed is not fast, but the speed of ordinary people's long-distance running, but it is faster than any lightning.

Because the speed is relative to the senses.My senses were completely frozen, I couldn't move at all, and my mind went blank.Not to mention that existence, even the speed of the turtle on the beach is much faster than me, right?

"Mordred! Mordred!"

From far away, she just yelled, not at all afraid of danger around her.

Or, she doesn't care about any danger anymore, and just wants to come to my side immediately.

Time suddenly slowed down.Every step of hers is as long as 1 minute to me.

Time became extremely fast again.My heart was torn, trying to make a decision when she came to me.

Yet no matter how chaotic my senses were, the pace of that existence showed no sign of stopping.

Taking a deep breath, I put a smile on the corner of my mouth, pretending to be waiting for her, and opened my eyes.

Her eye circles were swollen, the whites of her eyes were bloodshot, and her face was red and purple at the same time.She ran as hard as she could, and when she stopped in front of me, she was out of breath.

Seeing her, my heart suddenly became peaceful.Those unease, those fears are like a strong wind blowing through the thick fog. Even though it is still impossible to see clearly from a distance, people can already see hope.

"Mo... Mordred..." She couldn't finish her words, her legs were weak, and she might fall at any time.

Beneath her skirt, her stockings were in tatters, blood and bruises were visible, and the injuries were covered with tiny scratches—running as hard as she could, falling and getting up again and again, in her mind There were only two thoughts of running and searching, and there were no other distracting thoughts. Fear was transformed into courage, and regret was transformed into motivation. It was not until she finally came to me that I finally relaxed.

Is she really... should I say, is all of this fate...?

With that in mind, I helped her.The floral fragrance on her body has a more earthy smell.The skirt was completely dirty, and the shoes were covered with mud marks.No wonder there were scratches all over her body, she didn't even look at what was under her feet.

I feel bad... I really feel bad for her.

"Lily, don't panic. I won't run away, I just do a very simple thing."

"No, it's not... Mordred. Forging a holy sword is a very dangerous thing! It takes a lot of work!" She even overcame the tension in her body and spoke fluently beyond my expectation.

"I know that. I'm sure I can afford it anyway. Don't worry about that."

"That's not the case! Mordred, listen to me! Forging the holy sword is really dangerous! Otherwise, why haven't you forged it until now? Because the materials prepared at the beginning have been lost, and it is impossible to collect materials again. Yes! If you want to forge the holy sword, you must pay the price of the same level! It may be the soul, it may be life, it may even be existence itself! Mordred... I have realized that maybe... maybe we don't need the holy sword at all sword!"

"This... When I get to the furnace, it will be clear. Don't worry, Lily, I'm not a fool. If I can't pay the price, I will definitely return to another place."

"That's the reason! Mordred, once you reach the furnace, unless the holy sword is forged, there is really no way out! Everything I said is true, not a single lie!"

I froze for a moment.Lily's inconsistent attitude really made me feel a little strange.

Moreover, she should not know these things unless someone tells her.And this man...

"Merlin told you? Why, that guy who only taught you magic all this time, finally wants to intervene in this matter?" As I said that, I smiled, very easily. "Don't worry too much. There is Merlin in my world, but it's female. Her prophecy is indeed accurate, but it's no different from being completely wrong. The Merlin who taught you magic is the same. No matter what he said, just ignore him. Walk your own way, that's your destiny."

"I know Merlin is useless! But what he said this time is true! I can feel it!"

Lily gritted her teeth, trembling all over, really, really anxious, trying to find a way beyond words to convey her thoughts and feelings to me—but in fact, I knew it all.

"Lily, don't panic. The situation is not as serious as you think. The world may be bad, but it is bad for the goblins here, because the ancestors of goblins committed unforgivable sins. But I come from another world Humans who came here, you yourself are a fairy born from Paradise. Even if we go to the furnace, it won't be as bad as you think."

"No! Mordred, what I said is true! Although Merlin has always wanted to harm you, but this time he swears to tell the truth! I think it is also true. If he really wants to harm you, he doesn't have to That's what I said!"

"Wait a minute, Lily. You said... Merlin wants to harm me?" After a pause, I realized that the topic might be misdirected, so I quickly changed the subject. "Or another way of thinking? Since Merlin wants to harm me, it means that he is actually an enemy, right? Since he is an enemy, then don't listen to him, because all his words are lies, no matter how sincere he is-- Or like this, Lily, I will confront him face to face and ask carefully, is this okay?"

Lily pursed her lips and lowered her head, the tears in her eyes almost turned into springs and flowed down.

During this brief pause, my mind was racing wildly, thinking about Merlin's intentions.

But after thinking about it, there is only one thing I can think of - after experiencing Saber's miserable life, just like the father's Merlin can no longer make predictions, Merlin in the pan-human history can't cultivate another King Arthur up.Therefore, in order to avoid the influence brought by him, he said nothing and let Lily grow up freely. Even if the ending of the story is not satisfactory, at least it will make Lily happy and have memorable memories.

It is precisely because of this that Lily is different from her father and Saber, and maintains a girl's personality, pure as a lily.

But because of the lack of education and too pure personality, Lily is easily deceived, and she always wants to escape when she encounters troubles.There was really no way to escape, so he acted hastily and hastily.

For a moment, I thought of Saber in Panhuman History, and her Mordred, their personalities are such a contrasting relationship.Therefore, if the Bell of Pilgrimage can recognize me as the "savior", Lily's real name can be replaced by me, and I can maintain this fairy appearance.

Knowing this, I immediately relaxed and settled down—what Merlin said was indeed true.You can't just go to the Holy Sword Furnace.What raw materials are needed to forge the holy sword should be found through other means.

Seeing that Lily was silent for a long time, I had no choice but to exhale and said in a comforting tone: "In this case, let's not go. Well... so, how about we go meet Merlin first? He must be Living the life of a self-exiled voyeur in a white tower in Paradise? Maybe watching us now, waiting for us to pass!"

"Paradise...it's best not to go." Lily's words made me slightly stunned again.

Unlike my father who used the identity of Inak to forge the holy sword that defeated the white giant Cephalu, even if I am going to forge the holy sword, it is not for the residents of this world, but just for Lily.If in order to forge the holy sword, Lily becomes very painful, and even breaks this relationship, then I will lose the watermelon by picking sesame seeds.

I didn't ask, just waited five seconds.Lily refused to answer for a long time, so I had to follow what she said.

"Okay, now that you've said that, Lily, then we won't go to Paradise. Lily contacted Merlin through a dream, right? Why don't we set up the tent first and enter the dream first?"

"This is not allowed. Originally, Mordred came to this world by dreaming. If he dreams again, it will become a dream within a dream. Merlin said that a dream within a dream is very dangerous, and he may not be able to get out."

"Well...then Lily, you are here to pass on my question? Is that all right?"

"This... this..."

"It's okay, if you can't do it, you can't do it. Don't panic. There must be a way."

Lily lowered her head even deeper, her emerald green pupils were full of frustration.

"Mordred... am I useless? I can't do anything... and I'm so stupid. I can't even complete my most basic mission. In the past, I relied on my companions, causing them to die miserably, and they kept failing. Now I rely on You, I leave everything to you, even forging the holy sword... I am so useless, I am really useless..."

Tears the size of mung beans flowed from Lily's eye sockets and dripped down her nose.

I quickly hugged her, gave her warmth, and gave her support.

Gently wiped her tears with his right hand, keeping her from falling down when she was most vulnerable.

"It's not that you are useless, but that you were given missions and tasks that you couldn't complete before you grew up. A person who has never even killed a chicken asks to go to hell to fight demons. It's not outrageous, it's bullshit. So this job should be handed over to someone else, like me. I can do it, I have the will, and you're on your own, both for yourself and for what matters to you People here are very bad."

Now that I think about it, I should have turned back when I left, and I did it.

It's too late to think about it now—fortunately, it's not too late, the matter is not as serious as I thought.

"But... this is what I should do... and why can Mordred do it?"

"Because I received the best education. It was my father who taught me a lot of knowledge, helped me build a complete knowledge system, made my thinking flexible, and allowed me to understand other knowledge no matter how obscure it is. Meaning. This is the training that belongs to the king. Lily has never experienced it, so of course she can’t do such a professional thing?”

"Sure enough, everything is Merlin's fault!" At this moment, Lily's feelings changed from inferiority to anger. "It was he who told me that my name belonged to Artoria! As a result, he didn't teach me knowledge according to Artoria's standards at all. In the end, he couldn't do anything. He could only watch his companions die one by one and wandered away. For more than two years, I haven't even sounded the first tour bell! How can this person be so hateful!"

"Well, Lily, what you said is absolutely right. It's all Merlin's fault. It's the same no matter which side Artoria is. In fact, he doesn't have many human emotions. His mental composition is similar to that of insects, and it all depends on the outside world. Stimulation can set off waves in the heart, which is the so-called "joyful person". He may be sad when others are suffering, but sadness itself is a kind of enjoyment for him. No matter from any angle, he is a person Totally hopeless."

"Ahhh! I'm so mad! I'm going crazy! I'm given this kind of mission, but I don't say what I should do, what strength I should have, and I can't even speak smoothly with others. You must Can I take everything I have? Why do I have to waste 16 years of my life? This guy... this magician... I hate him! Mordred, if we meet him, You must cut off his head with your sword!"

"It's too cheap to cut off his head. For this kind of person, he should be forced to do a job that can never be done. Just like Sisyphus, doing meaningless things every day, experiencing doomed failure every day He will be released after the chicken has pecked the rice clean, the dog has licked the dough clean, and the candle flame has burned the brass lock.”

"That's right! That's the way to do it! You hide everything behind your back, and don't even do a good job in education. It's really too cheap to just cut off his head!"

With an outlet to vent her negative emotions, Lily finally felt better and acquiesced to what I said.

Whenever this happens, I think of the greatness of my father—in fact, my speaking skills are far worse than my father's.The father and the king don't need to talk too much, a look, a smile, and a soft question can solve the problem.At that time, the father untied Mei Lin【_[

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

◆Mordred◆

I'm not very familiar with Merlin, but with that guy's character, he's not afraid of taking the blame.

Now that he is hiding behind the scenes, he should shoulder the responsibility of the role behind the scenes and take this big black pot on his back.

If I can't even do this, I might really kill him—this kind of guy is really a disaster.

Fortunately, Lily's face finally returned to normal.Although I still can't smile, those emerald green pupils have become my favorite appearance - extremely pure, more elite than emeralds, more crystal clear than green diamonds.

"But if that's the case... where are we going to find the materials?" Lily asked me.

"There are indeed people who know this clue, but I don't want to ask her. The debt between me and her has not been settled, and the relationship is still very bad. Let's talk about it when the debt is settled. Anyway, it is impossible to get it done tonight of."

"Is that so... the result is that Mordred actually didn't know anything, so he went to forge the holy sword?"

"It can't be said that you don't know anything. After all, the holy sword is something that the father has. And it is different from the holy sword that gathers all the hopes and emotions of human beings in the history of pan-humanity. The holy sword used by the father is her own. The power of will. The essence of the power of will is the power of destiny, so the father needs to do various things in the past and in the future—well, from another perspective, the father is a mortgage installment, as long as the mission is completed at a fixed node, payment Interest is fine."

Obviously, my analogy is very inappropriate.As a goblin who grew up in the Lost Belt, Lily didn't know what a "mortgage installment" was, because there was no concept of finance here.

She froze for a while, and finally gave up thinking.

She really couldn't understand what she hadn't learned.

"But if this is the case, isn't it equivalent to sacrificing yourself to fate?"

"Yes? So the father will be evaluated by the mother as 'the black sun that keeps releasing warmth'."

"So it's like this... No wonder the Dragon King can endure such a life. Perhaps, only a village as great as the Dragon King can keep this island from going to eternal madness..." Thinking of this, Lily sighed. "I didn't expect that according to the plan of fate, I would become such a great existence one day..."

Hearing her say that, I was suddenly startled.

It seems that Lily is not as stupid as I think, she has basic analytical ability.

Lily's mouth curled into a smile.Helpless, but 【"

"Modred, I already know it. My prototype is King Arthur. The name Artoria is the name of King Arthur, right? She is the most famous holy sword user and the most likely existence to forge the holy sword. It is also an existence that can save Britain...Unfortunately, I am really useless, far behind King Arthur..."

"So leave it to me, Lily. Everything will work out with me."

"...But Mordred, don't you know how to find clues? Why are you boasting that Haikou can be settled in one night! Really, I am so worried that I can't do anything, I can only stay there Crying alone. If Ms. Jeanne hadn't reminded me, I might... Alas!"

My smile froze a bit.At that time, my brain could barely think, so I ignored Jeanne.

As a result, after I left, Jeanna said something, and Lily chased after me.

But that was Jeanne after all.She is the existence that saved my father, although her actions made me a little dissatisfied, but she is more like my mother, let me stay at the level of dissatisfaction - except for my father, she is the only one who will Caring about my loved ones.

"Then... let's go back and ask the landlady?" I suggested.

"The landlady can't do it. She's an arcanist and doesn't understand these things." Lily vetoed my suggestion—this was the first time. "I think it's better for us to ask the Dragon King or the Eternal Queen together."

"...Father and Tona Riko have a bad attitude towards you."

"I know. The Dragon King is because of Mordred. The Queen is because she conflicts with my goals. However, since forging the holy sword is such an important matter, Merlin can't rely on it at all, so I can only ask them for help. "

I learned what I wanted to say, but Lily quickly stopped my attempt: "Mordred, you are different from me. You are very capable, and with the teaching of the Dragon King, you can easily solve everything. Merlin doesn't teach me anything except magic, and I don't know anything. So, when you encounter something that you can't solve, you will take the initiative to meet it, and I will retreat or even run away. But you can't be brave in this matter, At least for me, please value your own life and don't do stupid things like acting on your own, can you?"

"...I know how important my life is." Having said that, my smile finally couldn't be maintained. "It's a pity that I haven't met Bawanxi. Then I know how important a daughter is to a mother. Although my father and I are both women, fate makes us get along as father and son. I am more important to my father than Bawan Hibi Tona Riko is much more important."
