Artoria the Big Liar

Although the third daughter repeatedly asked me to eat slowly, I still ate very fast and wiped out all these things in less than 10 minutes.But the stomach is only slightly swollen, and all of it has been transformed into magic power and stored in the organs.

Still in my cute pajamas, I rejoined Morgan and Merlin after eating.

This time, they didn't instinctively stay away, they were right next to me, very close.Their higher-than-normal temperature passed over, and the rich floral fragrance on them almost made my sense of smell go numb. The feelings that have not been conveyed for 14 years, and the long wait in Paradise for 500 years, are finally accepted by me today. Even they seem to be living in a dream and do not want to wake up.

The witch sat across from me, she kept looking at the two sets of command spells on the back of her left hand, and hesitated to speak.

Both Morgan and Merlin closed their eyes, lusting after me, just like I lusted after the witch in the past.

I raised my right hand and put my index finger in front of my mouth, signaling the witch to remain silent.The witch sighed, took out her mobile phone, and started to pass her time.

The second hand of the wall clock kept turning in circles.I closed my eyes quietly, surrounded by the fragrance of flowers and warmth.

Although the shadows of the past linger in my mind, I always have the premonition of having nightmares, and the scenes of the past keep reappearing in my mind, but I think - the feeling of being loved is actually pretty good , In the past, I had a low evaluation of myself, so I just refused blindly.Now that I think about it, that is really stupid, even if I can't respond for a lifetime, but only for a moment, it is completely enough for the person who loves me.

It sounds scumbag.But in my case, it's cruel to be not scum—it really annoys me.

But—the life of King Arthur is actually not as annoying as I think, and there are actually beautiful things.

Ten minutes later, Morgan and Merlin woke up.

"Jeanna, is there anything I need to ask?" Morgan asked.She actually noticed the witch's expression from the very beginning.

"... Ms. Morgan, can you explain why your real name is Morrigan?" The witch asked, "Although it sounds very similar, there are still subtle differences—otherwise, this ability value cannot be explained."

"Is Miss Wang's value high?" I asked curiously.

"Although it's not as good as you, Arthur, it's already quite high—muscle strength A, durability B, agility A+, magic power EX, luck A, treasure Phantasm A+... These are the values ​​of a warrior! It's completely different from the appearance of a witch. It matches!"

"But I said a long time ago that Sister Wang and Merlin are both good at melee combat, right?" I had to repeat the old story. "The witch is just a status, no one requires that the witch must be a weak person, right?"

"It's different! It's completely different!" Regarding this point, the witch seemed to have a creed-like obsession. "A witch is a witch! Whether it's using a familiar or casting a spell, this is what a witch should be like! How can you be the strongest witch and at the same time be such a powerful warrior! Arthur, do you know magic? ? Obviously not!"

"Because Morrigan was Morgan's name when he was a god?" Merlin almost lay down on my body, smiling very brightly, I have never seen such a smiling Merlin. "Besides, if Artoria really wants to learn magic, with her aptitude, it is very possible that she surpasses me. She just doesn't have time to study, but it doesn't mean she can't learn it."

"...God?" The witch blinked, she seemed completely unaware of Morgan's composition.

"Yes, Sister Wang is not just the witch Morgan." I explained, "A long time ago, Sister Wang was the goddess of war, curse, revenge, twilight and death in the Celtic pantheon. Cu Chulainn, Son of Light in Ireland, you You know? At that time, Sister Wang once pursued him, but he refused, and she turned into a crow to show Cu Chulainn's death—”

As in the past, as soon as I mentioned this past event, Morgan quickly interrupted me: "Arthur, as a god, I have a different mentality than as a human being..."

"Well, I understand, Miss Wang. Human beings are too short-lived, so the gods' love for human beings is more like a love for pets and toys." I nodded, paused, and said with a smile: " And Sister Wang is such a person who dares to love and hate? For example, that Fairy King Oberon is Sister Wang and that Emperor Caesar..."

"I'm like that in Pan-Human History." Morgan interrupted again, "Before I met you, long, long ago, I was subtly changed by you. Otherwise, Gao Wen and the others would really be mine. Children, instead of adopted sons and adopted daughters—my child is only one, the only one, and that is Mordred, who was born by me. She is a white dragon, even without my blood, but in the whole of Britain, she can make She was born in only my body—similar to your birth."

I blinked like a witch, not quite understanding why Morgan was so particular about this.

Now that there are no outsiders, I bowed my body slightly and carefully looked up at Morgan——

"A long time ago? Sister Wang, how long ago was it?"

"4000 years? Isn't that..."

"You are King Arthur, and you are also the first-generation holy swordsman who saved the world." After a pause, Morgan explained again: "I was appointed by the gods as a supervisor to control the process of elves forging holy swords. And the holy swordsman of pan-human history The sword is different. Your sword is not a gathering of prayers and hopes, but your own commitment and ambition to this planet and this race. When the holy sword is forged, when the star warrior Cefalu is defeated From a moment on, you are the greatest king, the destined master of mankind."

"Artoria, I've fallen in love with you since then." Morgan said quietly. "So, but as far as I am concerned, those stories are just the bard's own opinion. Auberon is indeed my child, but like Gawain, my adopted son. Lin) has no special feelings, just appreciation for soldiers. Because I know very well that you will definitely come to my side at some point. I will not allow this waiting and expectation to be polluted by anyone.”

Why can't I understand more and more?

If it is false, why is Morgan so sure?

If it's true, I really don't have a trace of memory in my mind.

Barely keeping a smile, blinking non-stop, even more dazed than a witch.

Instead of explaining, Morgan regretted it—she seemed to realize that she had said too much.Merlin's eyes can only see through the present, and of course he doesn't know what happened in 4000 years.The witch is very simple, her eyes are shining with stars, it is almost like saying "Wow! So my Arthur is much more powerful than I imagined!" Such unnutritious words.

Since Morgan didn't want to answer, I didn't ask any more questions, but just accepted it.

However, I finally understood one thing - I really want to become the "Emperor" of the "Empire of Mankind".Because what I do is almost equivalent to the "Emperor"'s "St. George Slaying the Dragon", and it is even more important to humans.It is precisely because of this initial point of difference that I am completely different from King Arthur in the history of pan-humanity - shouldering a greater mission and experiencing more hardships.The result is greater intelligence and greater strength.

And this also highlights the hopelessness of Britain-even such a king can't save Britain, who else can?

Taking a deep breath, Morgan stood up.

She walked to the center of the living room, and the Servant's spiritual base was released on her body.

An azure light flashed across her body, and her posture changed from Queen of Avalon to Goddess of War and Death.

The new clothes are quite compact.The white long skirt with black shorts and black boots is very sassy and modern.The silver metal waist fully gathered the long skirt, showing her proud figure and curves.Because the lower body is wearing sports shorts, the middle of the skirt is completely cut, and the shape looks like a coat instead.The outer side of the skirt is clean white, and the inner side is dark blue like a blue rose. The skirt is also specially cut to look like a flower, which is very her style.

A shoulder armor-like utensil floats above each shoulder, connected to each other by a long chain inlaid with white and blue gemstones, which seems to be a shield generator.There are a pair of long blue horns on the head, but they are not long horns, but something like a signal extension cable.There is a neck ring on the neck, and a leg ring on the right leg. Each has its own function, and it is not just a decoration.

Her left hand is suspended with a translucent blue shield that can be unfolded to act as a shield.In her right hand, she holds a gorgeous halberd, which is made of metal as a whole. It seems to be steel, but it looks extremely light.It's just too modern and sci-fi, not quite like the costume of an ancient goddess, but more like a future warrior from the thirtieth century.

"Sister Wang, is it too sci-fi?" I commented.

"It's not so much the future, it's better to say it's the Age of Gods." Morgan's smile, tone, and demeanor were exactly the same as in the past, and it was really just a change of clothes. "In the distant past, when the power of the gods could still shine on the earth, compared with medieval Europe, the style of the gods was closer to the modern or future."

"Otherwise? That fellow Skaha did the same thing." Morgan, who became sassy, ​​explained lightly, "Didn't that fellow Skaha be very handy last night? He can fight against two Artorias at the same time, although Is there any reason why I used all my strength, but this is obviously illegal use of a Servant or higher spirit base."

"That's right..." The witch didn't understand melee combat at all, so she naturally believed Morgan's explanation.

"Besides, is this the class of Alter Ego? Calling the past, calling the future, calling the fantasy, it will be completely different from the present self." Said, Merlin also stood up, holding the staff in his left hand, and projecting with his right hand A glorious version of the holy sword appeared, which caused the witch to widen her eyes. "Oh, Jeanna, don't look at me like that. I'm pretty much the same now. There won't be much change in terms of spiritual foundations. At most, the attack methods are no longer limited to magic and spells..."

"It's really strange, this class..." In the end, the witch could only blame this on the class.

It was only at this time that I fully understood that she didn't want to learn melee skills at all.

As long as I am by her side, she only needs to manipulate the dragon seed and flames to provide me with support.

If you rush into the war at a half-baked level, not only will it not help, but it will cause trouble.

And exercising is very troublesome and hard.She has been pampered and pampered after she came to me, and will continue to be pampered and pampered in the future.A lot of physical training, a lot of basic training, just listening to it makes people daunting.

"It's okay, I'm not a regular job class myself." I mentioned this casually, which is considered perfunctory.

After disarming my weapon, shield, and the shield generator above my shoulders, Morgan sat back beside me—unfortunately, I’m still in pajamas, and I can’t even maintain the minimum aura. The king whom the goddess loves.This distressed me so much, I should have changed into a suit earlier.

"Artoria, is there anything you want to do this afternoon?" Morgan asked.

"...Let's make sure of a few things first." After thinking about it, I asked, "Sister Wang, Merlin, do you want to live together in the future?"

"Follow your inner thoughts, don't ask for our opinion." Morgan was still so gentle.

"Sister Wang said to let me cherish myself—but, I really didn't think about this problem before. I don't know what to do. So, I still have to live together? I have learned a lot about Wang's skills, but human I really have the skills..."

At this moment, Morgan looked at the witch with quite calm eyes.

It's just that this kind of calm made the Witch uncomfortable—Morgan in the goddess posture was really too strong.

"Why are you looking at me? Didn't I say it a long time ago? Even if Arthur participated in this Holy Grail War for me, it doesn't mean that the previous words are invalid, right? Even if I am the master, you are not regular servants." ? You are such powerful magicians, it is not easy for you to cancel the contract? After the Holy Grail War is over, you can find Arthur to re-contract."

(Nidryua, revive!)

◆Artoria◆

The witch has a special ability, as long as there are other people besides me, she will not make the atmosphere too dull.

In the saying on TV, it is "born funny genius", right?It's a pity that it only applies to the situation of flattery.

We spent a lot of verbal effort on what to do in the afternoon.After all, I struggled with the witch for a long time yesterday before deciding to walk to Enzang Mountain, which is a pure waste of time.In the end, it was Sister Wang who made the final decision and went shopping together on the street.

"...Sister Wang, I have some unfortunate news for you. The funds have bottomed out, and I'm afraid I won't be able to buy anything."

The funds in the bank card are only enough for me and Mordred to spend three years of high school at a moderate level, not a lot.

After participating in the Holy Grail War, I booked the best hotel suite in Fuyuki, and I also ate the hotel food, and the cost was quite astonishing.Coupled with Mordred's participation in the war, I transferred half of the funds in the bank card to her, and became poor as a result.

"Where's my bank card? There should be some left?" The witch was cautious, walking on eggshells.

"I bought half of that suit. Jialiang Academy is a private school, and the tuition fee is not low. Adding in some other expenses, there is not much money left. Large-scale shopping in Fuyuki's new capital is useless. It’s different from a drop in the bucket.”

Here I used a special idiom - don't report the numbers, only report the general situation.

Because Jeanne wants to live, and I want to live.We embrace the future instead of dwelling on the present.

The funds originally used for retaliatory consumption must be withdrawn, and the original extravagant atmosphere must be banned, otherwise it will not be able to support the daily expenses for the next period of time.Even if it is barely enough, the three of us have to work part-time outside of class, which takes up a lot of time.

Hearing my words, Ms. Wang sighed: "So, Arturia, the first step in learning self-love, start here. This shopping is for you, not for Jeanna, or me and Merlin. You are the one who needs love the most."

"Me? Sister Wang, I don't need it..."

"Arturia, you are showing no self-love right now."

"Isn't it really necessary? My standard of life has never been high, and I am very satisfied now."

"Not to criticize your frugality, but to demean yourself so much that you reject other people's kindness and gifts."

That is to say, Sister Wang actually wants to buy some gifts for me. Whether it is for use or simply for collection, there is no problem—but, on the other hand, there are also big problems.

"...But, it's my money, right?" I didn't dare to speak loudly, my voice was very low. "My own money, spend it carefully, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Artoria..."

Once again, Morgan's voice is like the petals of withered flowers, which makes me feel sad.

As if being shocked by an electric shock, I quickly explained.

"Ah, Sister Wang, I didn't mean that, I just..."

I mean, I'm not accusing Morgan of being generous, I really just don't want to waste it.

Morgan lowered his eyes, did not explain, did not explain, just fell silent in the gap between the conversations as usual.

"I have a bank account, right? And I still have a lot of money." Merlin said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's all the money I got from online consulting. It's all traceable, and I paid taxes legally." , I promise there will be no problem. Or, um... I go to Las Vegas? It won't take much time, and money is definitely not an issue anyway."

"No. I hate gambling." I directly refused, "Money is a general equivalent, and you should use your own labor to obtain it. If you can get a large amount of money casually, it either means that the money came from the wrong source, or it means using it. oppression or deceit. Every income, every tax dollar, I treat it right and never think of wasting it."

Merlin was as silent as Morgan.

On the other hand, the witch smiled smugly as if she understood me completely.

I looked at her, and she looked confident, as if she had found an invincible point from the conversation.

It seemed that she saw this exchange as a war in another dimension, a war that only she could win.

Opening her mouth, she is still so perverse and cute, just like a real high school girl.

"Arthur, what are you thinking? You don't need to spend too much money to go shopping? The important thing about shopping is not the result of shopping, but the process of selecting and comparing products. It’s a wonderful time for dialogue. Shopping for luxury goods worth several million yuan is shopping, and shopping for trinkets worth hundreds of yen is also shopping. Even if you don’t have a penny, just walk on the street together and look at the scene on the street. Looking at the person next to you is a kind of enjoyment, isn't it?"

"—Yes, the result is indeed important, but more important is the process. Ms. Morgan criticized you for not knowing self-love because you value the result too much and ignore the process. Everyone is happy, except yourself. The pain is unbearable. All Everyone has benefited, only you pay for yourself. The result is that everyone pretends to be happy, but in fact they are not happy at all. Such a simple truth, you are so smart, is it really hard to understand? ?”

I was speechless for a moment—it seemed to be the truth. I couldn't understand what Sister Wang said, but the witch's explanation only needed to be done once and it was very smooth.The difference between the two is no different from a professional scholar and an excellent teacher.

Suddenly, Merlin beside me stretched his waist, his smile became relieved, his expression became relaxed, and his words became softer: "... Alas, it really can't compare. No wonder Artoria was conquered in a day, You really have a hand, Jeanne."

"Of course." The witch raised her head, looking extremely proud. "I'm the one that the Eternal King likes. How can I be an ordinary person with no merits? Although it's a last resort, you all know who is the best for Arthur, right?"

Merlin's smile froze for a moment.Despite squinting her eyes, her demeanor seemed to have become dangerous.

However, perhaps because of my gaze, she finally sighed—should be remembering the words in the dream?

The reason why I use myself as a bargaining chip is just so that the witch can live, no matter what.

So although Merlin and Morgan were accepted, the witch still occupies the center of my heart.

On the contrary, Morgan, she didn't care at all, her face was full of indifference.

"I'll take care of the money, it's not too difficult. Artoria, you just need to accept the gift." Mo paused, and then said: "It's all regular income. Modern magician families still have They have a lot of land and business resources, and they have plenty of money. I just need to sell some simple things, and they will buy them at sky-high prices—for example, the golden apple you ate before, as long as it is digested by the body, it can improve the power of the magic circuit. Quality. It's worth buying a mansion."

"And, this is a product from Morgan's country? It's Morgan's own money." Merlin added.

"Will it take long?" I asked.

"No need," Morgan replied. "To this day, there are still many goblins who stay in the world based on the leylines. I will entrust those goblins to sell, first come, first served. Let them pay the deposit first, and then auction it at the right time. Only with those deposits , enough to last a long time.”

After all, it is a rare thing that flows from overseas within the stars, and it is indeed extremely attractive to magicians.

After thinking about it, if I continued to refuse, I would be too ignorant of the style, so I nodded.

"...Let's be like this. I can't help it. I'm just used to being poor. It's hard to understand the life of the rich. If you can eat enough and have shelter from the wind and rain, it's already a pretty good life. ——Originally, pulling out the sword of choice and becoming the king of Britain was only for this tiny wish.”

However, as soon as the words fell, I was hugged by Morgan.
