Type-Moon, a human love simulator

"Hmph!" After seeing Kelar coming back, Altria's childish little face sank. She snorted in a very childish way and the noise she made while eating became even louder. She had none of the aristocratic elegance at all and her face was full of "I'm angry, come and coax me!"

Now Kelar is twelve years old and Altria is only seven years old, so she still has eight years to become king.

When she was fifteen years old, King Uther died, leaving behind the prophecies of the Sword of the Kingchoose and the Sword in the Stone, which attracted the Celtic lords to Camelot to witness the coronation of the destined king.

Originally, according to the old man King Uther, Artoria should have spent her childhood in poverty and hardship in Sir Hector's house. Not to mention eating meat, it would be considered a good life if she could have three meals a day on time.

In their words, this is called tempering the king's will.

But Kelar said 'no' to that!

Suffering is suffering. It has no effect. It will not temper one's will, nor will it bring any special feelings. It is just a sad experience.

King Uther, you make such critical remarks. Why don't you try the life of a serf yourself and hone your kingly heart that was depressed after being defeated by Vortigern once?

Kelar has always been opinionated and is a local tyrant in Maple Ridge. Hector is also Uther's confidant. If he does not cooperate, Merlin and King Uther's plan cannot be completed at all. Therefore, King Uther can only compromise in the education of Ailanthus and at least give Artoria the living treatment that a normal noble should have.

But the old man Merlin once sneaked into Kelar's dream and warned him that if the rich and comfortable life made Artoria lose the king's enterprising spirit and understanding of the British common people, they would strongly interfere with Kelar's decision.

Kelar's answer to this is: "Once the suspicion arises, the crime is established!"

"If you can't treat it with a normal mind, I won't approve of your decision."

Unexpectedly, Merlin just chuckled and said that she would never make any subjective assumptions, and she would only look at the king she had "carefully raised" from the most impartial third-party perspective.

Maple Ridge is a very rich territory, otherwise it would not be able to withstand Altria's habit of eating a pig every few days. At such a young age, her appetite is already showing!

When Altria finished her meal and was rubbing her very flat stomach, savoring the delicious food, Kelar also put down the cleaned pork leg and asked, "Lily, have you finished your homework today?"

"I've completed it, but I don't have anyone to practice swordsmanship with, so it's not considered complete."

As Altria spoke, she looked at him with her holy blue eyes. The meaning was very clear. She was obviously blaming Kelar for hiding his secret from her and not telling her what happened in detail.

Kelar threatened the child, "Little cutie~ Lily, you can lie to me, but you can't lie to yourself. I'll just laugh it off if you lie to me, but if you lie to yourself, you won't be able to hide it from that old man who sneaked into your dream. Then they will have an excuse to make you live a life of serfhood~"

"I have no meat to eat every day. Even black bread can only be eaten every few days. I practice swordplay inefficiently for more than 20 hours every day. It's a sheer waste of time and life to draw the sword and swing the sword. Then I can't sleep well for two or three hours. I was crammed with the truth of kingship by that old nightmare demon..."

Kelar looked at her at last: "Lily, have you ever thought about living like that?"

I could have endured the darkness, except that I had never enjoyed the light.

If Artoria had been forced to live like this from the beginning, she would not have been unable to tolerate it. However, under Kelar's careful care, she had lived a comfortable life as a noble for some time. How could Artoria tolerate such a torturous way of education?

Frightened by Kelar's words, Daimao's body trembled noticeably, and a look of fear appeared on his face, but he soon straightened up and said, "I did complete my homework and basic sword training, but the lack of sparring is not my fault!"

Chapter 8 Only righteous people have no enemies

How could Merlin and Uther educate the next generation?

This old bastard Yuther is such a scoundrel. He made Altria undergo more than twenty hours of meaningless sword training. Is this a training plan designed for a five-year-old child?

The black slaves all shook their heads when they heard this.

Kelar agrees that enlightenment and training should start from childhood to become successful.

But what he agrees with is a truly systematic way of cultivating elites, such as an educational method like the Six Arts of a Gentleman that promotes the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labour.

If combined with relaxation and entertainment that combines work and rest, Altria will evolve to her complete form much earlier.

Kelar re-formulated Altria's teaching method, three hours of basic swordsmanship, combined with standing and stepping, and then practice swordsmanship. In addition, there are also riding skills, numerology, history, and culture and education...

And finally, Kelar gave Artoria special lessons, teaching her knowledge from later civilizations, which was not something that the "Celtic barbarians" could understand.

The standard of riding skills is to be able to control a galloping horse in any scene and location, from flat ground to hillside, from standing to sitting; to be able to mount the horse at any time and under any circumstances without being thrown off, and to move freely on it to engage in archery and horse fighting.

The mathematical standard is to be able to calculate the daily expenses of an army of 100,000 people, as well as the transport capacity of civilians to transport food and the transport capacity of vehicles, ships and livestock. These are capabilities that the Celts and Ansa do not have in the British Isles today.

The battle between the Celts and the Ansas was a fight between barbarians. When the two groups met, they would rush forward and fight. There was no strategy or military formation at all. They just relied on hard power.

Why did the Romans call these northern barbarians 'barbarians'?

Because they really have no cultural background. There may be some strong men who are born with knowledge, but they lack systematic education to cultivate elites.

But, how can one become a good general without knowing mathematics?

As for history, it is even simpler. History itself is a compulsory course for kings. How can you learn lessons without reading history?

It is a pity that Europe has no habit of compiling national history. Instead, the nobles have their own aristocratic histories, as well as prose, poetry, and heroic epics, which can barely serve as history books.

Finally, it was Kelar's special cooking session...

I have to say that Kelar has treated Sarcasm as some kind of development game. Looking at this serious little thing, his skills are growing every day. For some reason, he feels a sense of accomplishment!

"I believe you are not lying, Lily. Don't be in a hurry to practice swordsmanship. You are different from those ordinary people. You have talent. You can practice swordsmanship when you have time."

Kelar has a permanent blue talent [Hundred Martial Arts], but he discovered that Altria also seemed to have a permanent talent for cold weapons [Knight King]. After the first day of sword practice, this little guy had already surpassed many veteran knights of Maple Ridge.

Now, the only one who can practice with Altria and temporarily suppress this little guy is Kelar.

Kelar nodded in satisfaction and said, "How are you doing with the methods I taught you to train and lead troops, as well as various war modes such as hand-to-hand combat, cavalry combat, field combat, and siege warfare?"

"How are you reading the new books on military training and effectiveness?"

Speaking of this, Altria's confident face deflated, her bright golden hair dimmed, and even her proud little hair drooped down. She whispered, "I haven't learned it yet..."

"It's a bit difficult. I think I need to combine it with numerology to better learn what you teach me."

Speaking of this, Artoria felt a little embarrassed. She couldn't even understand the military book compiled by Kelar, but the other party had already summarized this knowledge that could be called a divine book.

Kelar was not angry about this. He just said, "This is not something you can learn in one year. The deadline I set for you is eight years. If you can master the knowledge in these two military books within five years, you will be very good."

That's right, the special training that Kelar gave to Artoria was the "Jixiao Xinshu" and "Lianbing Shiji" which were the culmination of Qi Shaobao's life's work on military strategies.

Among China's military books, although Sun Tzu's Art of War is very famous, in fact, the pinnacle of China's military strategy is Qi Shaobao's "Ji Xiao Xin Shu". As long as you have the Ji Xiao Xin Shu, even a farmer who knows nothing can train elite soldiers.

Qi Shaobao's military book does not have so many fancy words. It uses simple and plain language to teach people how to train soldiers, how to lead soldiers, how to maintain military discipline, how to deploy troops, and even how to deal with feces and urine, how to save military rations, and how to lead soldiers in military settlements to save military rations.

After comprehensive consideration, Kelar decided that this was the most suitable divine book for this era.

As for the three most powerful time-traveling books that are stronger than these two military books, Kelar believes that they are not in line with the productivity of this era and cannot be put into practical use. In the era of cold weapons, the military book summarized by Qi Shaobao, which is a culmination of Chinese military tactics, is stronger.

"Okay, Lily, we've finished dinner, it's time to test our teacher on history."

Kelar smiled, put aside the matter of military tactics, and asked, "Lily, what did you see today?"

Altria said honestly, "At the end of the Roman Republic, Crassus, one of the three great men, put down the rebellion of Spartacus."

Artoria knew that it was time for Kelar to teach. History was the most suitable book to be used as a teaching material for the king. Using history as a mirror was the truth.

Kelar remained calm and continued to ask, "Do you think Crassus is just? Or is Spartacus's resistance correct?"

"Crassus relied on the eleven-stroke killing rule, using blood and fear to make the Roman soldiers fearless of death, and finally suppressed the rebel Spartacus."

Altria shook her head and said, "This is not what a wise man would do, nor what a good general would do. A truly capable general would not have to use such a brutal method."

Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, commanded his troops with the Thirteen-Strike Order, which made his soldiers invincible and conquered six kingdoms. However, his prestige in the army was very low, and there were many generals who did not obey him and ministers who looked down on him.

In contrast, there is Han Xin, the military genius and one of the three great heroes of the early Han Dynasty.

When Fan Kuai, Marquis of Wuyang, saw Han Xin, who was tricked into Yunmengze and captured alive for treason and then demoted to Marquis of Huaiyin, he bowed his head and knelt down, calling him "the king" and was proud of it. After all, among the more than one hundred founding kings and princes in the early Han Dynasty, there were not many who were qualified to call Han Xin "the king".

His prestige was so high that no one could match Han Xin except Xiao He and Liu Bang.

This is the difference between leading troops with regular tactics and leading troops with unusual tactics.

To put it bluntly, Li Jing's military strategy is to not treat people as human beings, but to turn a group of people into ferocious beasts. As long as the heart is ruthless enough, there is no problem in maintaining a very high winning rate. The threshold can be said to be very low, and the reputation can be said to be very bad.

Crassus used the eleven-stroke law in slave-era Rome, and his reputation remains mixed to this day.

However, Li Jing used the Thirteen-Strike Killing Order, and when he was writing a book, he proudly said that only a famous general could use the Thirteen-Strike Killing Order to command the troops and prevent the soldiers from rebelling. The generals who used the Eleven-Strike Killing Order were not ruthless enough, so they were not famous generals at all.

What Li Jing said was not wrong, because he did the best a general could do. If he still lost, it would naturally be the soldiers' problem. But if other generals dared to use this kind of military tactics, they would only need to be defeated two or three times before the soldiers would mutiny and rebel.

"As for Spartacus? Where there is oppression, there is resistance."

Altria looked at Kelar and said, "When a king treats his subjects like dirt and weeds, his subjects will treat him like an enemy. When a king treats his subjects like his limbs, his subjects will treat him like their heart. This is the principle you taught me."

"Yes, Lily, you remember it very well." Kelar looked puzzled, and chanted in a strange tone: "Let me teach you another truth - "Only righteous people have no enemies." "

“This is the reason why the benevolent are invincible.”

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 9 I will never be assimilated by this era

Thinking of Hector and Morgan who didn't understand him at all, Kelar couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that you are all Celtic barbarians. No one understands such elegant and simple principles."

A benevolent and righteous person will definitely have no enemies.

Benevolence and righteousness are not simply ignorant and foolish kindness.

But good people say you are good, and bad people say you are bad.

Only those who are kind and righteous enough to conquer their enemies are truly invincible.

"Lily, what kind of king do you want to be?"

"If you also want to rule Britain with authority and tyranny, then you will never be a match for the humble King Vortigern, because his violence is unmatched in the British Isles. He is the symbol of anger on the British Isles."

"If you want to defeat Vortigern, you can't learn from your mediocre father. Vortigern broke his courage, so his kingly way is naturally not worth mentioning."

Kelar's eyes were calm, and his tone was gentle without any sarcasm, but his words were particularly arrogant. He actually commented on the two kings who ruled the British Isles at the same time, and even said a little bit of disparagement.

But even though Altria heard it, she couldn't say that Kelar was wrong. Even in her little head that had begun to think independently, she knew that Kelar was right.

After all, compared with real civilized people, such as the Romans and the Chinese, today's Celts are really just like barbarians.

Just look at how King Uther and Merlin arranged for Artoria. The Celts didn't even have a systematic elite education. Their local religion, Druidism, was full of the simple values ​​of primitive religions: kill, ...

In the Celts, only those who had a record of massive massacres, and who killed all their enemies, regardless of gender, age or status, were called heroes. For example, the famous Cu Chulainn had a record of massive massacres.

The so-called chivalry only restricted the nobles, and it was considered "honor" for fully armed knights to rush into the territory of the enemy lord, massacre the enemy lord's subjects and serfs in large numbers, and destroy the enemy's manor.

This is why the Celts were later defeated and enslaved by the Ansa people who came from the sea, because the Ansa pirates were even slightly more advanced than the Celtic barbarians.

However, both the Celts and the Germanic peoples to which Ansa belonged were barbarians in the eyes of Rome.

But unfortunately, Rome had split apart before, and the Celts in Britannia took the opportunity to declare independence. It was even heard that the Germanic people on the mainland were besieging Rome, and the offensive was reversed.

"After all, it's the limitation of the times and the social atmosphere..." Kelar sighed. He was very dissatisfied with the Celtics' "honor" and the Celtics' values.

Only those who kill more people are qualified to be called heroes?

The Celtic heroes sounded brutal and brave, but they were only showing their power to unarmed civilians.

Becoming famous by slaughtering civilians will not only fail to cultivate a warrior's sense of honor, but will instead lead to a disregard for life due to the large-scale killings, and eventually even not care about one's own life.

"Kai, are you dissatisfied with the current situation in Britain?" As if sensing Kailar's mood, Artoria asked in a low voice: "When I become king, I will obey you. When I become king, you can do whatever you want!"

Who said that Altria doesn't understand human nature?

The little red dragon was very knowledgeable. She could hear Kelar's dissatisfaction and was afraid that Kelar would leave Britain, so she made promises quickly and even dared to take the heavy responsibility of the kingship lightly.

"Lily, if Merlin hears you saying this, you won't be able to stay with me."

Kelar rubbed Altria's smooth and fair face and said, "How can the king's power be handed over to others? A king is not necessarily aloof, but a king cannot be without power for a day!"

Altria pouted and said, "Kai, don't rub my face. It's mean... I don't understand what you are saying, but you are the person I trust the most and the wisest person I have ever met. I believe in you in every aspect."

"…The road to becoming a king is long. Don't say such things anymore in the future. Merlin and your father won't like to hear them."

Kelar held Altria's hand and said, "Remember, before you become strong enough to no longer need to rely on anyone, never reveal your thoughts, no matter whether they are good or bad, naive or mature..."

"You must hide any thoughts you have now. You must make yourself look like what King Uther expects you to look like and disguise yourself to be able to respond to him. Otherwise, you will definitely suffer."

Kelar said calmly: "Every failure makes you wiser... I don't want you to understand this truth only after you suffer a loss. The right to speak is also a kind of power. Only children who are becoming stronger and stronger are qualified to raise this power."

Name and tools, sacrifice and military force, to put it bluntly, it comes down to two points: the pen and the gun.

As a king, these two points must never be delegated to others.

Artoria is only seven years old now. Even with Kelar protecting her, Kelar is still powerless against King Uther and Merlin. It was Merlin himself who did not want to disrupt the arrangement of fate that persuaded King Uther to keep Artoria here.

If Artoria's thoughts were exposed, King Uther would definitely intervene forcibly and take Artoria away from Kelar, and would not let his wrong ideas influence the next generation of the perfect king.

When Altria heard this, her face tightened. Although she was a child, she was very smart. She immediately nodded and said, "Kai, I understand. I won't tell my true thoughts to anyone in the future..." Except you.

The second half of the sentence was not said. The little knight squire actually didn't know what feelings were, but Altria could still feel who treated her well and who treated her badly.

King Uther only treated her as a tool. Merlin was better. He came into her dreams every day to teach her some common sense, but he was just a man who punched in and out to go to work. He had no feelings for Altria, he just thought he should do this!

Morgan viewed his sister as an enemy, and his uncle, whom he had never met, was waiting with great interest for the destined red dragon to attack him.
