Chapter 418:
"Father's Master seems to be a great person, she can crush glass bottles with her hands. Is she really a magician?"
"..."
"Father..."
Even in the dead city of London, Artoria's side did not quiet down, and Mordred's voice sounded all the way along the patrol.
If anyone else observes as a third party, they will understand that Arturia and Mordred are like passersby. It was Mordred who took the initiative to ask questions, Arturia kept silent, and no matter how hard Mordred tried, he couldn't communicate.
Whether it is language or emotion, communication is always mutual.
Perhaps it was only a child like Mordred who didn't get hit, and kept talking to him all the time.
- "Never take it off."
When Mordred appeared in the Knights of the Round Table, he always wore a helmet shaped like a bull's head. This helmet has the ability to hide magic detection, so magicians can't use magic to see through Mordred's appearance, and Merlin, who can do this, has long since disappeared.
As Morgan's android to take revenge on Arturia, Mordred hid beside Arturia like an assassin, walking in the name of Mordred, but could not reveal his origin, so Arturia has always been Not knowing that Mordred was her and Morgan's child.
On the contrary, Mordred knew very well that he was Artoria's son, but he could not recognize Artoria in front of him, which was a very tormenting thing.
But Morgan didn't expect a situation, no, maybe this situation has always been in her expectations. How could the rebellious knight Mordred be obedient? Children in the rebellious period are always full of rebellion against their parents, so when patience reached a critical point, Mordred found an opportunity to get along with Arturia and took off his helmet.
When she showed her face exactly like Artoria, her relationship with Artoria was self-evident. However, the expected exciting recognition did not appear, and Arturia was very indifferent to Mordred's appearance. When she looked at the face that was exactly the same as her, it was like seeing a stranger on the side of the road.
This result poured a pot of cold water on Mordred, sobered up from the full of expectations, and realized that his illegitimate child would not be recognized by Arturia.
From the very beginning, Artoria had learned from Merlin's prophecy that the one who destroyed Britain was Mordred. From the moment she drew that sword, Arturia knew that Britain would be destroyed, and she would not end well. So when Artoria decided to become king, she was on the road to this day, even though she had thought about preventing the demise of Britain.
It was only the appearance of Mordred that made her understand that her efforts seemed to be in vain.
Mordred, who could not be recognized by Artoria, and Artoria, who was unwilling to recognize Mordred, had already planted the seeds of the destruction of Britain when the two met that time.
However, after the destruction of Britain, it is very wonderful for Mordred to meet again today.
The reason is very simple, Arturia said this sentence in front of everyone: she is my child.
The recognition that could not be obtained during his lifetime will be fulfilled after his death, which is something Mordred never expected.
This sentence is more important than anything. Therefore, even if Arturia treats her cold face now, Mordred will not feel uncomfortable. Furthermore, in the Knights of the Round Table, Arturia was a cold attitude, and Mordred had already Get used to this cold and glamorous father.
Perhaps no one knows that the reason why Mordred launched a rebellion is to get Arturia's recognition. She wanted Arturia to admit her ability and use her strength to prove to her that she was qualified to be her son and to inherit her throne.
As long as the rebellion is successful, it can prove to Artoria that "Mordred overthrew King Arthur's throne and has the ability not inferior to King Arthur". Although it sounds ridiculous, children's logic is always chaotic and direct. When everyone thinks it is unreasonable, they take it for granted.
Sadly, the childish Mordred didn't get his wish when he died.
"Your qi is not enough to be king."
...
"Father, do you think that Fufu next to Lixiang looks familiar, as if you have seen similar squirrels in the Knights."
Artoria suddenly stopped, and this change made Mordred secretly happy: Does the father like furry mice? By the way, my father likes lions very much, and has two in the back garden.
Mordred nodded secretly, feeling that he knew more about Arturia.
"Be careful, she's coming."
Arturia raised the holy sword in her hand, and the whole person immediately entered a combat state.
she? who is she?
She still had such doubts in her heart, but Mordred entered the state obediently, and at the same time she quickly understood who "she" was in Arturia's mouth.
The roar of the heavy motorcycle came from far to near. This monster-like roar had only been heard not long ago, and it was not long before Arturia and Mordred parted from its owner.
The two of them were waiting for them, the motorcycle appeared in front of them a moment later, and the figure of Black Saber also stopped in the distance on the street.
A playful smile appeared on Kuro Saber's face when he saw Artoria and Mordred standing together.
"It's funny, I thought you would kill her after I left, but I didn't expect you to be together. Look, you're not as stubborn as you said, even if Mordred was around. No matter what, there is no need to worry about a kingdom that has perished, and it would be more comfortable to use your meager brain cells to think about something to eat."
At that moment, Mordred saw Arturia's holy sword trembling.
PS: I'm working overtime in my overtime work. That's right, the author was still working overtime in the office when I posted this chapter.
Chapter 662: The Magician Three Thousand Years Ago
"It's another father!"
Mordred didn't realize that his words made both fathers unhappy at the same time, but this was a fact they couldn't deny.
Black Saber's eyes swept around: "Since you are here, then the people of Chaldea should be around."
"What are you going to do to Lixiang?"
"Is your brain really okay? What do you think I should do to your Master?" Black Saber got off the motorcycle. Although he was not armed for battle, he gave Artoria and Mordred the The sense of oppression did not diminish, "Take me to see your Master, I'm not interested in wasting time with you here."
"It's just wishful thinking, I will never betray Lixiang."
"Huh? What are you talking about in your sleep?" Kuro Saber looked at Arturia with disgust, "I said, I want to see your Master, if you don't want to, I don't mind letting you learn a lesson. ."
Kuro Saber was too lazy to explain to Artoria. She doesn't have the patience to say it now, and she always feels like she has lost with this "self" explanation.
Just speak with strength. If you don't want to, then use violence to persuade the other party.
Black Saber, who has become an inversion, has also become tyrannical in character.
The magic sword appeared in his hand, and the black magic power made the magic sword wider and opened like a fan. Even though Arturia and Mordred had been prepared, it was difficult to stand firm under this sword, and their hands were numb.
The shadow of the magic sword did not stop, it enveloped the two of them like a torrential rain, and surrounded them tightly.
At this time, a colored stone shot from the sky, shooting towards Black Saber's head with vigorous momentum like a meteor. The attack of the magic sword stopped and picked up, and bounced the stone that was shot in front of him, only to find that this stone that could kill people looked so ordinary.
"King David."
Black Saber speaks volumes about his identity as a sniper. At the last singularity, although the two did not have a formal battle, Saber Black did not miss the opportunity to understand the enemy, so she knew that she could use an ordinary stone picked up from the ground as a tool to cast Noble Phantasm. There is only one man, King David.
King David appeared in a tall building not far away. Because the position is high enough, Archer's clairvoyance provides him with excellent vision, and he can easily snipe enemies on the ground from a high position.
"Do you want to continue, Kuro Saber, if you plan to continue fighting, I won't stand by, Rika and the others have almost woken up because of the use of magic power."
The straight-line distance between the two was more than fifty meters, but David's voice could clearly reach everyone's ears.
"Hey, don't be too complacent, do you think you can scare me with your words?"
"Is it scaring you, you can try it... You shouldn't come here to attack us, otherwise, it's not just you who appear."
David's words meant something, but everyone couldn't understand what he meant. Even Black Saber just thought that the people David said were Erica and Black Joan.
Black Saber's face showed hesitation, and after a while, she restrained her fighting spirit. She raised her head and stared at David and asked: 'King David, where is Merlin? Let him come out and meet me! ’
"What? That old guy Merlin is here too?" When he heard the name "Merlin", Mordred was the one who reacted the most. She looked around with a fierce face, as if Merlin was nearby. , "That **** dared to come out? Was he hiding somewhere to peep?"
"Magician S..."
Artoria was just about to say it, but she quickly shut up. After all, Magician S is also an ally of Lika now, and she did not plan to inform the enemy of Magician S's whereabouts.
"You mean Magician S, right. Unfortunately, that Magician is not here, and we don't know where he is."
What Artoria did not say was spoken by David.
In fact, Black Saber already knew the answer when he saw Mordred's reaction.
"It's so boring, it's a waste of my time to communicate with you..." Black Saber walked to his motorcycle and showed his back to the three Servants, "If you see Merlin, tell him, I have something to look for him."
After leaving these words, Kuro Saber rode his motorcycle and left.
"Black Saber came here to find Magician S?"
Black Saber walks very succinctly, and her purpose is also surprising. David jumped from a height and fell behind Mordred and Arturia, watching the figure of Black Saber leaving.
"It seems so. I saw her walking around on a motorcycle from a height just now, it seems that she is looking for Rika and Magician S. Maybe it is because Magician S is by Lika's side, so I think I want to see Lixiang."
"David, I was about to ask you about this, why did you reveal the whereabouts of Magician S?"
"Have I leaked? I don't know the location of Magician S at all, and I haven't told Black Saber where Magician S is. She will naturally leave here after she can't find Magician S. You should be very clear, if Black Saber is Saber didn't get the answer that Magician S wasn't with Rika, she won't leave here."
Of course Artoria knew. Black Saber... If it is Artoria herself, there is a reason why she must see "Merlin", then she must see Merlin.
"Actually, it's not without merit. At least when Black Saber's attention is on Magician S, Rika is safe during this time. As for Magician S's own safety, Kuro Saber seems to have something else. as pictured."
"What if black Saber is going to be bad for him?"
"...I can only hope he asks for more blessings."
All in all, the troublesome things are still going there, and everyone should give priority to protecting Lixiang's safety. Well, I think Magician S would also agree with this approach.
"Compared to this, there are still some things I want to ask you, King Arthur, can you tell me about the situation where you encountered Saber Black not long ago?
"Black Saber? Of course."
Later, Artoria began to recall her experience when she met Black Saber. Because it happened a few hours ago, Artoria's memory was still clear.
Seven Holy Grails? Pointless?
In Artoria's memory, Black Saber seemed to have leaked some important clues during the battle. Because it was in the state of battle, Artoria did not notice it at that time. No, even now, she just felt something was wrong, but not as much as David.
If that person hadn't died, even if the singularity was repaired, the restored human principle could be destroyed again, so the ultimate goal was not to repair the singularity, but to defeat the murderer who burned the human principle.
But on the other hand, David felt his mind start to get confused. Because he is very clear that the person should be on the side of Chaldea, but more and more evidence proves that he is the mastermind behind the scenes.
- I have to see it with my own eyes.
"King Arthur, I have something to ask you."
"You might as well say it straight, King David."
David hesitated, but finally decided: "King Arthur, I'm going to find Magician S now. I'll trouble you to protect Lixiang while I'm away."
"What? You want to leave? But Lixiang..."
"This is impossible. You should have seen it clearly. The enemies who entered the singularity are strong and numerous. If we are separated at this time, we have no strength to fight back. I don't know what Magician S is doing. , but now is the time to join forces, and Archer's ability to act alone is just right to use."
"At least you should tell Li Xiang."
"No, I'll be back soon. Before dawn, whether I find Magician S or not, I'll be back here."
Arturia felt that what David said was very reasonable, but she believed that the Servant's actions should be approved by the Master. However, she is not a stubborn person. Since David is ready, it is not necessary to cover for David. After all, he is not like the kind of person who has no sense.
...
Chaldea's computer monster "Laplace" can record what happened in the long river of time, so when history goes wrong, Laplace will reflect on Chaldeas. In fact, devices similar to Laplace also exist in other associations, such as the "Pseudo-Spiritual Calculator Three-pointed Hermes" of the Atlas Institute. Just enter a question and you can get the answer. Of course, there are also Maybe the answer is deliberately hidden and requires higher permissions to unlock it.
It is worth mentioning that the "Spiritual Calculator Trismegistes" funded by the Atlas Academy to Chaldea is based on the "Spiritual Calculator Three-pointed Hermes". ".
Of course there is such a thing in the clock tower. In a library in the Clock Tower, there are also books that record various deeds in history. Although it is not a secret, there are very few people who can enter and read these "history books". Among them, one of the monarchs of the Clock Tower, El-Melloi II, is the one who has this authority.
Before entering the singularity, Magician S had already obtained the specific situation of the clock tower from El-Melloi II. Although it has been more than 120 years, what has happened to the clock tower in these 120 years?
The longer the system has a long history, the more difficult it is to change. This is the precipitation of history, and you can also call it tradition.
However, unlike the self-contained Atlas Academy and Chaldea, which is full of modern technological features, the recording method of the clock tower is full of "traditional" flavor - the clock tower still records everything in the way of books. This also caused Magician S to spend a lot of time finding the books he wanted.
Of course, Magician S didn't want to find someone to burn the murderer. This kind of thinking is simply wishful thinking. He can complete the burning of human beings silently, and one can imagine the degree of caution of the other party.
What Magician S is looking for is what happened to the Clock Tower itself, or more precisely, the process of the destruction of the Clock Tower headquarters in London, England in 1888.
Because he was not at ease with the two children and a woman with no sense of proportion, this search process was completed by Magician S alone, and finally after spending two hours, Magician S finally found the book he wanted.
"Finally found it. It's too conspicuous. Isn't everyone nervous about the clock tower's secret? Or is it that everyone reads it often, so just put it in a convenient place. Wait a minute, I'll be there soon. …”
Magician S turned to let the three of them wait a little longer, only to find that the three of them were already curled up in the corner and fell asleep.
The virginity is no longer noisy before, and the sleeping Justisa is not as clingy as when she woke up, only little Jack is always so quiet.
Little Jack curled up in Justisa's arms and was gently embraced by Justisa's hands. The two seemed to be as close as their own mother and daughter. On the other hand, virginity was lying on her back on the floor and sleeping soundly. She didn't have the posture that a lady should have. Her sleeping posture was as casual as her personality.
"Didn't you say that Servants don't need sleep?"
These three people seem to have completely violated Magician S's understanding of Servant. However, the Servant's sleep has the function of saving mana consumption, which is a good thing for both themselves and the Master Magician S.
Magician S's attention returned to the book, and turned the time, that is, the clock tower record, to the back.
"The time is September 30, 1888... Jack the Ripper... Sure enough, little Jack is Jack the Ripper, a combination of the resentment of the abandoned children, it seems that this is how little Jack and Justeza got along The reason."
Little Jack is a combination of resentment, and Justeza is the product of the evil in this world. The attributes of the two can almost overlap. It is no wonder that Justeza will admit that she is Little Jack's mother.
In this way, little Jack can be regarded as a good home.
"The attack of Joan of Arc Alter, Arturia Alter, and Erica Blandry... That's true, but they can't do it alone. If we find a way, we might be able to defeat the Clock Tower. , but the magician who wants to wipe out the clock tower has not left any trace of the battle, and they don't have the means yet."
