Artoria the Big Liar

The Fairy Queen slammed the table hard, and the strong vibration almost caused the crystal ball to fall off the tray and fall.

In this regard, the female magician has long been familiar with it, because it is not the first time that the Fairy Queen has done this.

She was even a little thankful that the quality of this casually assembled wooden table far exceeded expectations, and after more than a dozen rounds of beatings and heavy beatings by the Fairy Queen, it was safe and sound.

Even though they were looking at the contents of the crystal ball together, that didn't mean that the magician and the Fairy Queen were friendly.

Now they are only forced by reality to temporarily form an alliance, lest the reality develop beyond expectations.

But... Judging from the current situation, this alliance has become useless.Maybe the other party didn't win completely, but their own defeat was almost certain—no way, the alliance was too loose, the two restrained each other, stumbling each other, hovering on the verge of breaking up several times.It is no small miracle that the alliance can still be maintained now.

The female magician propped her cheek with her right hand, and glanced at the eyes of the Fairy Queen with interest—it looked very calm, but her heart was already extremely angry, and because of the characteristics of a goblin, it turned into deep viciousness.

With an interesting attitude, the female magician recalled the past with a sarcasm: "Ah, it turned out to be like this. I said why she suddenly changed at that time. Not only did she not care about handling government affairs, but her temper became more and more irritable. He also became suspicious. He would expel the servants in the palace at every turn, and kill people every three or two weeks. He couldn't even trust the teacher he chose. He had to teach Mordred himself, and even do it for Mordred. You have to try the food yourself... It turns out that you made it, Morgan. You have really troubled Artoria for a long time!"

"Merlin, you are no different from me, we are all of the same breed." The Fairy Queen was merciless in her extreme anger.

The female magician stretched her waist, moved her joints, and even yawned, as if she had just woken up.

There is nothing to see in the image in the crystal ball—it should be like this, but looking at the happy dining scene and Arturia’s warm and happy smile, the female magician suddenly felt that no matter what she looked at, No matter how many times, no matter how long she watched it, she couldn't get enough of it, to the point where she was like a moth attracted by candlelight, and couldn't even look away.

Perhaps realizing this, the female magician suddenly calmed down.

"Probably better than you? Ah... that's not right, you're right, after all, it's just a joke. In the matter of hurting Artoria, we did the same thing—everyone They are all murderers, and everyone pushes the one they love the most into the abyss of despair and pain, so much so that she even abandons her identity as a king. So, compared to reality, she wants to escape to death with nothing—— After all, having nothing means no pain and no harm."

The Fairy Queen was silent.She lowered her head, her bangs covered her eyes, so that the female magician could not know whether she was crying or not.

You should be crying, right?In the perception of the female magician, once Arturia was involved, the Fairy Queen always shed tears, sometimes crying uncontrollably, muttering broken words that no one could understand.

Goblins are such a race, suddenly angry, suddenly sad, mood capricious.And so, after grief overwhelmed anger, the towers of Paradise regained their usual tranquility.

Even though she maintained her succubus-like smirk, her pink pupils were still icy cold, but at the moment the Fairy Queen stood up, a wave of panic smeared in her heart.

"...Morgan, it's already like this, is your jealousy still at work?" Half mocking, half admonishing, the female magician's tone was that of a standard goblin. "However, this time, she's not so easy to talk to, okay? If you show even the slightest bit of hostility, you'll never have another chance. If you dare to hurt even a single hair of the Dragon Witch, you'll be doomed—you will Death, and she was killed by her own hands... Now she looks peaceful, but she is more sensitive and irritable than ever before, even more than when Mordred was surrounded by conspiracy. The world consciousness dared to harm the dragon The Witch, she will kill the world. If the human consciousness dares to plot against the Witch of the Dragon, she will kill all humans... although it hasn't reached that point yet."

After a pause, the female magician pretended to have a headache, as Artoria often did, hugging the pillow with one hand, and gently rubbing her forehead with the other: "...Oh, what a headache. It's better, but I didn't expect it to become worse. Everyone has become much worse... It's almost like withering and corruption."

"That Dragon Witch is just a fake, a disgusting creation whose spirit has been transformed just to get close to her." The Fairy Queen's tone was extremely calm, even with some tenderness. "If it was the original Dragon Witch, the relationship would definitely not be so good. At least, it wouldn't take half a day for Arthur to sink like this."

"What's wrong with the fake? Mordred is also a fake, and she herself is even more fake." The female magician's voice became harsher, "About this, haven't you suffered a lot? Or, At this time, you still want to stand on the opposite side of Artoria?"

"The Dragon Witch will get out of control, you know better than me!" The Fairy Queen almost growled, "Her consciousness, her life, and even her own thoughts do not belong to her, but to the evil god who created her ! At the most critical moment, she will harm Artoria uncontrollably..."

The more she spoke, the more angry she became, until finally her beautiful face was slightly distorted: "That evil god, that hateful evil god! It doesn't even want to watch Artoria die, it just wants to see her fall into the abyss of despair and madness !"

With a "bang", even though she stood up, the Fairy Queen slammed her fist down on the table.

"After all, the evil god's goal is to break away from cause and effect and time and space, and destroy the existence of the 'King of Eternity'." The female magician said lightly. "However, I advise you to think about it better? Remember it carefully, Morgan. When did she smile before she met the Dragon Witch? And it was the kind of smile that was still maintained after laughing." ?Since this is just a dream like a bubble, a dream like a fairy tale, but since she is smiling so much, let her continue? Maybe the dream will wake up after all, but at least...she is very happy now, Is not it?"

After a pause, the female magician rubbed her forehead again, and continued: "You actually understand quite well, Morgan. If you didn't understand, you wouldn't have locked me in this tower until now. Really If you want to change, you can leave this tower directly, and then leave Avalon? Why, now that a dragon witch is here, you will lose all your fighting spirit and courage? You and I, and Guinevere can win? So happy, but now you don’t even have the courage to touch the Dragon Witch? Didn’t you say she is a fake? This is not the Morgan I know!”

"...Merlin, your schizophrenia is getting worse." The Fairy Queen's tone was extremely cold.

"Hey, I'm not just a crazy old man talking in the legend! Now, um... it fits the setting?" The female magician's smirk became rampant, like Loki, like Dionysus. "Morgan, do you know? You sure don't know, right? I really hope I'm really schizophrenic, so I don't have to regret the headache, it hurts like my head is about to explode... No, I'm really schizophrenic, On the contrary, it will be more painful? Maybe... I can't figure it out. Oh, my heart, it feels so uncomfortable... I should have listened to your plan at the beginning, no matter what prophecy it is, no matter what history it is. Get rid of everything that belongs to people How wonderful it would be to be an insect-like fairy happily..."

"I'm different from you, absolutely different. As long as Arturia is alive, my heart will not die."

As she spoke, the Fairy Queen stroked her ear—it was a human's round ear, not a goblin's pointed ear.

On the contrary, it is the female magician, who has almost completely become a fairy, with pointed and long ears, and her spirit is erratic.

Glancing nostalgicly at the image in the crystal ball, the Fairy Queen was about to leave the room with a triumphant smile.

"Why, our queen of Avalon has finally decided to go out?"

The female magician said another sarcasm in a desperate manner.But her words made the Fairy Queen suddenly think of something, stopped in her tracks, and turned to look at the female magician.

"You come too."

The magician pointed to herself.

The Fairy Queen nodded. Although she looked calm, the female magician saw only mockery and malice in her green eyes—just like a real fairy.

"Go too? No, absolutely not! I can't see her, absolutely not!"

"...This matter is beyond your control."

"Really? You are not in a hurry, you are not in a hurry, but you are in a hurry at this time? Don't you know that this is the worst time? She and the Dragon Witch have just warmed up, and they haven't even noticed that the Dragon Witch Something's not right. You talk so much, will she listen to you? Will she be disgusted? Will she be disgusted? Will point the 'scourge sword' at you and yell 'get out of my life' Something like that? The Morgan I know can't be this stupid, right? Are you really Morgan?"

"It has nothing to do with the Dragon Witch, but something else."

"……whats the matter?"

"Merlin, don't you claim to be smart? You can guess what I want to do."

The goblin queen squinted and smiled.

A guess emerged in Merlin's mind.Almost instantly, her spirit tensed up.

Only a little reason left told her that this conjecture was very likely to be true, and the Fairy Queen was about to do that.

She stood up in a panic—however, her hands were still tightly wrapped around the pillow.

"Could it be...you can't do this! You can't do this! You can't do this, absolutely not!"

"As long as Artoria is happy, I'm willing to pay any price. Even if she doesn't love me, I still want to keep this tiny happiness... She wants to dream, so let this dream continue. This dream, no longer There will be no end."

The expression of the female magician became solemn: "Morgan, you are crazy. You are very crazy. What is fake is fake after all. Artoria can't violate her future. Doing so forcibly will only bring her more pain of."

The Fairy Queen's expression was equally solemn: "Merlin, you are the one who is crazy. Ever since you returned the sword and gun to the planet, you have been completely crazy. What you are thinking about is no longer Arthur, but Arthur's prophecy. You have Slaves to prophecy, no will of self anymore."

The two highest-ranking fairies and the two strongest witches in the world looked at each other and stared at each other.

The tower's sub-towers are constantly spinning, round and round.However, the bodies of the two people have never moved, only the faint breath of the two people, which proves that the time here is not stagnant, but is passing normally.

Suddenly, the female magician laughed, she laughed, she laughed wildly, she laughed so hard, she seemed really crazy, she seemed to have been crazy for a long time.And what about the Fairy Queen?She smiled, and the smile became shallower and shallower, and finally turned into pure coldness.

"Hahaha, that's right! That's right, Morgan! Half-elf women like us are only normal when they are crazy, and abnormal when they are not crazy!"【}"

"Must be fun?" the Fairy Queen said with a smile.

"Go, go! Go now! I just know how to go right away! I've been waiting a long time!"

Chapter 34: Artoria (5K3)

Lunch was good, and Mordred was a great cook, although the pepper was a little too much, but it didn't hurt.

I just kept laughing, laughing a lot, like life was going to go on like this, and the anomalies before were gone.

However, this happiness was soon interrupted.The regular knock on the door interrupted everything, making my heart tense.

Mordred stood up, complaining as he opened the door.

"Who is it? It's eating!"

Opening the door, I saw the visitor through Mordred's slightly petite figure.

Gray hair and blue dress, a witch like a queen.And a female magician with white hair and white robe, like the big sister next door.

These are two extremely familiar figures.I don't understand why they are here at this hour.But, for some reason, the witch's panicked expression suddenly appeared in my mind—it was the panic she showed when she was warned by Morgan.

"Long time no see, Mordred." Morgan smiled lightly, shifted his gaze, and stared at me. "...Also, Arturia."

"It's really been a long time, Artoria. Calculate the time..." Merlin snapped his fingers, calculated for a while, and then said: "That's right! It should be 1520 days, 12 hours and 15 minutes in 9! No, now It's 11 minutes! What a long time! I thought I'd never see you again!"

I stood up immediately.At the same time, my left hand tightly grasped the witch's right wrist, blocking her behind.

My heart was pounding and my mind was almost blank.I was ruled by instinct, and my heart was filled with some dark emotion.

The witch stood up.Out of courtesy, she greeted the two with a nervous voice: "Are you...Morgan? Merlin? Welcome, have you eaten yet? Today is mushroom broth, and there are still...a lot..."

Jeanne's words were getting weaker and weaker.Are you feeling my anomaly?Did you know the other party's intention?

I have no idea.I have lost the ability to think.My eyes were fixed on the front, on the two people outside the door.

Merlin seemed to have noticed nothing unusual, and waved at the witch in the room, saying hello: "Hello! I'm Merlin! The legendary flower magician! Now you can guess our identity, It seems that you are quite smart too!"

"Arturia, don't you want us to come in?"

Morgan's voice was very cold, exactly the same as before.

Those light blue pupils seemed to have other emotions, but I couldn't read them, not at all.

After thinking for a long time, hesitating for a long time, and being nervous for a long time, I finally took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "... Mordred, let them in."

Mordred didn't say anything, and shifted his position to let Morgan and Merlin enter the room.Then close the door and stand by the door.

Morgan and Merlin went directly to the sofa and sat down.

In the small living room, three areas were divided at once.

Morgan's sitting posture is upright and extremely elegant. It is different from the witch's appearance of pretending to be aristocratic. Her noble temperament is natural, without any trace of deliberate affectation. It is exactly the same as before, without any change.

My heart was beating faster, and my rationality was almost on the verge of collapse.

"Arturia...you've changed a lot." Morgan tried to squeeze out a smile, exactly the same as before.

"...In the senses of me and Mordred, less than a week has passed." I tried to explain.

"You understand, I'm not talking about this aspect, but other changes." As he spoke, Morgan looked at the witch behind me.

I immediately changed my position, completely covering the witch behind me, and completely exposing myself to Morgan's sight.

The air is silent.Time turned into a viscous jelly, and I was trapped in frozen time, unable to breathe.It seems that everyone is waiting for my answer, and it seems that only when I explain, time will flow again.

One second, two seconds... Like a century and two centuries, the time in the senses passes extremely slowly.

I seem to go back to the past, a long time ago.Everyone is waiting for me to speak, I have to force myself to think, I have to give an account.Otherwise, some very bad things will happen... very bad things.

I was pushed to the limit, I was pushed beyond the limit... exactly the same as before.

At the moment when I surpassed the limit, I opened my mouth, and the words came out of my vocal cords automatically and spread in the living room: "Originally, I did think of a set of rhetoric to explain what happened recently. But, thinking about it now, I don't think it's necessary anymore...I promised Jeanna that I will protect her. No matter what kind of enemy I encounter, I will protect her—this promise has no deadline."

"Merlin is right... Arturia, you are becoming more and more sensitive and irritable." Morgan's voice was still calm, so calm that it made me feel that her heart had actually frozen.

"Hey! Morgan! What nonsense are you talking about! I..." Merlin wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, he really had nothing to explain, so he had to admit: "Well, I did say it, or just now... ...Oh, I was talking nonsense for a while, don't be serious, don't be serious!"

Morgan closed her eyes, and her voice seemed to be shaking: "Artoria, I'm a little sad...I didn't expect that I would be an enemy in your eyes."

Once again, the words came out uncontrollably: "I'm sorry, Miss Wang. At this time, I must now take a stand... I have given up everything I can. Now, I don't want to give up and lose anything."

"...So, Arturia, have you given up on me?"

There was a miserable smile on the corner of Morgan's mouth.The sadness in the pupils could no longer be suppressed, and it was covered with a layer of mist.

She stared at me, obviously I was here, but her gaze was fixed on the past, the long, long past - she didn't know at that time that I drew the sword of choice.I didn't know her feelings for me then.We spent a frantic night in a room that no one found... It seems that she has always been like this, and she likes to impose her own ideas and will on others.

...is exactly the same as before.

So, the cold voice—my voice, echoed in this living room again.

"Here, at this moment, my answer is... yes. King Arthur is dead. Arturia has given up everything, is no longer a king, is no longer a hated tyrant——Merlin is right Wrong, I am indeed more sensitive and irritable—because I am more fragile. Vulnerable people will definitely become sensitive and irritable...Morgan, the person in front of you is not King Arthur, she There is no will stronger than steel, she is very fragile, like a withered leaf, as long as someone touches her lightly, she will become crippled."

The clear liquid ran across his cheeks and dripped down, soaking Morgan's luxurious blue dress.

I took a deep breath, and my heart suddenly became cold—cold like frost, cold like chilblain, like a burnt firewood buried in the boundless snowfield, no matter how the flint hits sparks, there will never be any sparks. Might be burning up.

It's really too cold.It's the middle of summer, but even I feel that I'm chilling when I speak: "Morgan, Merlin, I don't know if you've been watching it before. But, I want to tell you a fact - I just came here not long ago, Ka That feeling from Mulan came back. Even with Mordred around, it came back. I can't think, I can't do anything, I miss something from the past, something I've long since forgotten ... It was Jeanne who made me get rid of those shadows, it was Jeanne who made me feel that I am still alive and I should still be alive..."

Yes, that's how it felt then, that's how it feels now.

——The feeling of being extremely exhausted like death.

"King Arthur is dead. Please act as King Arthur is dead. King Arthur lost his throne, lost his crown. The Knights of the Round Table fled far away, retired hermits. Soldiers rebelled rebelled, dead died. Land of Britain No more food can be grown, and the birth rate of the Britons will only get lower and lower. The dragon guarding the anchor of the world is dead, the remaining mystery has completely disappeared, and the holy sword and holy spear have all been returned. Then A period of history was completely erased, and her story was dismissed as non-existent legend. She died in Camlann, like so many tyrants, in the final rebellion..."

Yes, that's right, it can't be wrong, King Arthur is dead, utterly dead.

Artoria and Mordred attacked her together, and killed her in Camlan!

Thinking of this, the corners of my mouth raised an arc unconsciously, as if【{

"There is no mystery of Britain here, and no story of the king. What you want, she can't give. What you expect, she doesn't have--the man standing in front of you now is a poor ghost with nothing, a man who is trying to make a living for you." High school student struggling with club formation... She has nothing now. Only one of her daughters, only one person she loves... I beg you... no, I beg you, Morgan, and Merlin - please Don't take away the last thing she has left, or..."

Like dew, the darkness condenses into thick grease, dripping down the arms and onto the palms of the hands.The darkness kept flowing and dripping, converging into a sword, a cursed sword of nothing but pure darkness, crooked and almost shapeless.

"Otherwise...she will be very angry, she will be mad with anger, she will..."
