Artoria the Big Liar

His appearance looks like an old man in his 70s, with pure white hair and beard, wearing old-fashioned black clothes, he looks hale and hearty, with an astonishing 190 centimeters tall, his body is as straight as a pen, and he is rigid like a Soldiers, but that old feeling can be felt from afar, as if it is a remnant of the distant past.

In a way, he's the strongest man on the planet—me and Mordred are women, after all.

He glanced around, and finally fixed his eyes on me like the previous two guests.

"Mithra, Lord of Humanity... Do you know what this name, this title means?"

Jewel Weng’s voice was as old as his appearance, like a desert relic that had been eroded by wind, hoarse but extremely strong: “If you take on this fate, you will no longer be the original you. A heavy responsibility like a mountain lies on your shoulders. Shoulders. Countless jobs make you unable to breathe. You cannot make mistakes, you cannot make mistakes, and you must be more accurate than a machine. At the same time, you must maintain a complete human heart, and you must not lose your own humanity. That is not what a living person should bear. It is a responsibility that even a god cannot do to that extent.”

"Mr. Zellich, do you think I still have room for repentance?" I sat on the sofa and replied calmly.

"Hmph... as expected of you." The corners of Jewel Weng's mouth slightly raised, his pupils were full of approval. "It seems that I am worrying too much. If anyone in the history of mankind can do it, then it can only be you. Questioning you is tantamount to questioning the contract you made, and even questioning the human principles you established with yourself—then , I don’t have any doubts. Now it’s your turn, Ms. Mithra. Although I don’t know more than the Avalon lady next to you, I can provide a channel to verify the conjecture.”

"About this matter, about the past and the future, I have nothing to ask. I know what I should know, and I understand everything I should not know. If there is any need for help in the future, I will definitely contact you, Ze Mr. Ulrich," I responded.

"It seems that I came here for nothing today—but it's not without gain." As he spoke, Zellich walked towards the door, and it seemed that through his magic, he had understood the whole picture of the matter.At the door, he turned around suddenly, and asked inscrutablely: "Speaking of it, Mithra the exalted. I heard that you have extraordinary wisdom. Do you know who my teacher is?"

This really stuck with me.Because there is very little information about Gem Weng, only a few words.

Mystery is one of the power sources of a magician. As a magician, Jewel Weng is naturally surrounded by mysteries.

Then, I can only guess—asking the teacher specifically means that his teacher is unusual.Moreover, he only asked before leaving, which shows that he respects his teacher very much, and also attaches great importance to the inheritance of will and knowledge.So, among the magicians I know, is there anyone who can cultivate a magician of this level?Who can convey their ideals to such a being?

The moment this question arose in my heart, I locked in two candidates.

I glanced at Mei Lin beside me, and the pink pupils shone with clarity.She guessed who this person was.That means she is not.

——There is only one conclusion at once.

"Solomon the King of Magic, the creator of the concept of 'magic'." I replied calmly, almost without hesitation.

"Your answer is absolutely correct. My teacher is the King of Wisdom. In fact, I am one of the forty students selected by the teacher." Zellich's expression and tone did not change, and I expected I can guess it. "Therefore, I have lived almost 3000 years. To this day, I still carry out the teachings of the teacher in the past and practice the path pointed out by the teacher."

"Protect human beings, protect human principles. This is the mission entrusted to you by the Magic King, isn't it?" I asked calmly.

"If a person wants to live for a long time, it is either for desire or for ideals. Desire makes people ugly, and eventually turns them into evil creatures. Ideals make people beautiful. No matter how they change, they all radiate their own brilliance." Probably found When the topic was changed, the [-]-year-old man began to chatter. "The legend of King Arthur is well known, but the myth of Inak is classified as apocrypha, and even the great cause of saving mankind has been hidden. Before this Holy Grail War, even I could not connect the two Get up. But now, I saw you, saw the change of real name, and saw the 'cocoon' woven into your body by the thread of fate, I finally became convinced and finally able to take that step..."

"Mr. Zellich, what do you want to say?" I asked inexplicably.

At the gate of this ordinary mansion, in this meaningless late night, Marshal Zellich solemnly knelt down on one knee and bowed his head to me, like a knight who was about to swear allegiance, or finally found it after searching for a long time. Master's servant.

The word Marshal Mo Dao means "the highest authority in the magic world".Although he doesn't care about things, his status is there.I really can't figure out why he would do this.But he just knelt down on one knee and didn't speak, which made me feel even more puzzled.

However, both Sister Wang and Mei Lin stood up, resumed their costumes, held staffs, and looked very serious.

Mordred sensed the anomaly, and stood up too—as a result, I was the only one who was still sitting.

In desperation, I had no choice but to sit and ask questions, as if I were sitting on the most glorious throne in the world: "Mr. Zellich, what do you want from me?"

"Admit." Gem Weng said these two words emphatically. "Admit what I think, admit what I do. After that, I will recognize you as the true master of mankind, dedicate my loyalty to you, and dedicate my strength to you. Because you represent mankind."

"Then, you have been admitted. Kishua Zellich Shubein'ogu." Saying that, I stood up.Call out the holy sword "Oath", put it on the shoulder of Gemstone, and recognize his deeds and ideals with the etiquette of a knight. "Please stand up, Kishou Ya-sama. Although my country has not yet been established, you are already my undisputed Marshal of Demon Dao. The glory of mankind is with you."

"Henceforth, your command is my destiny. I beg your light, like a lost man chasing the stars."

After finishing speaking, Gem Weng breathed a sigh of relief, opened his eyes, and stood up as if exhausting all the strength in his body.

Then, the tall man stared at the short me seriously, his cloudy eyes were full of humility and admiration.

I have seen this look.Sir Lancelot had such an expression during the last Holy Grail War.

As if by fate, he immediately said something similar to Sir Lancelot: "My lord Mithra, no matter when it is, please don't cherish it, don't wait, use me as a tool as much as possible... I have made many mistakes, and I will make more mistakes in the future. I will be confused, tempted, and lose faith, and you are the only one who guides me like a lighthouse."

I followed the good example and made a promise: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Whatever ability you have, you should be in the position and assume the responsibility. Even tools have different use value and importance. Sir Kishua, you are a magician with great wisdom. I have my own judgment on how to use your power. Whether it is as a tool, as a subject, or as a friend, please entrust me with the power of judgment. And all you should do is obey and execute."

"This is exactly what I expected, my lord." The gemstone bowed humbly.

He was very satisfied with my statement and kept his head down, obedient and humble.

Although I don't know what he has experienced in the past 3000 years, but looking at his expressions and words, Inak's life and King Arthur's life, he already knows it as clearly as watching a movie.Therefore, there is no need for communication between us, and each other's ideas are confirmed.It seems that old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time, even though the memory has been blurred, still trust in each other's will.

As a result, the gem man left this ordinary mansion with only some gossip about his relationship.

His back is full of relief and satisfaction, as if his 3000-year waiting has finally been answered, as if his persistence has been rewarded.This is a very strange feeling, as if I have really become Mithra, as long as I appear in front of anyone, the other party will swear allegiance to me, just like the 2014 wave of novels over the sea.

Of course, this is just an illusion.The attitudes of Gemstone Weng and Aozaki Aoko are quite different.Their personalities, experiences and ideals each determine their attitude towards me.It is impossible for me to get the support of everyone. I can only try my best to win their approval as in the past, so as to build a network of trust and build a building of power.

"So, what is the old man's purpose here?" Rang Na didn't know his identity or his experience, so she naturally only had doubts in her heart. "I can feel that his feelings are true, but did he admit to the wrong person? Artoria, you are Mithra, not his teacher King Solomon, why did he swear to you? Allegiance?"

"Didn't the jeweler say that? What he wants to gain is recognition." It wasn't me who answered Jeanna, but Meilin.

"Admit? What is there to admit?" Jeanna looked at Mei Lin and continued to ask.

"King Solomon returned the ring to God, and he himself ushered in the end of his life. Therefore, Zellich took his teacher's ideal as his own, and persisted all the way, just like sticking to old age in the ancient frontier Just like the generals in China—there are such people in history? Guiyi Army and Datang have such a relationship.” After a pause, seeing that Jeanna was still confused, Mei Lin had to change her explanation: “Humans It is a social animal. No matter who it is, it will always seek to rely on. Even if it is not really relied on, it is at least a kind of protection—in modern terms, it is that Zellich has always adhered to the line of defense of human reason with faith, and now After finally waiting for the founder of human reason, of course you have to explain your identity, and then expect recognition, understanding and protection?"

"Oh, that is to say, what Zellich is doing is a public welfare undertaking that does not ask for anything in return. Now that there is an official department that manages this matter, he wonders whether he can be absorbed and recognized by this department, so that the cause can become The name is justified. Even if there is no reward for what he did before, at least don’t judge his actions as illegal. As for the tool part, it means that his future behavior will follow new regulations and new standards, and will never I have my own special thoughts—is that what you mean?"

I blinked, Mei Lin blinked, and even Sister Wang blinked.

No one would have thought that Jeanna would use this metaphor to describe this matter.

Although very popular, it is unexpectedly accurate and very easy to understand.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Did I say something wrong?" Jeanna asked suspiciously.

"That's right, that's what the Marshal of Demonic Dao thinks." I replied with a smile.

"But why did he swear allegiance? Is it enough to directly express his attitude?"

"The older a person is, the more difficult it is to adapt to the new era. This is especially true for magicians. Rin doesn't even dare to use modern electrical appliances. In ancient times, it was an oath. In the middle ages, it was allegiance. In modern times, it is a contract. The development of the times. It’s too fast, it’s beyond the tolerance of the old man, and I feel that I used to be King Arthur, so I just used this form.”

"Then...Arturia, do I need to swear allegiance?" Jeanna asked me curiously.

"No need. Actions are much more important than this formal thing. Jeanna, your actions don't need this kind of evidence anymore." I said calmly, "Your thinking is modern, no Need to put yourself in the old rules - you are not a person who likes rules, are you?"

"That's true...so, this is the end of the matter?" Jeanna asked.

"We still have to wait for his choices and behaviors in the future before we can make a complete judgment. It is similar to the probationary period and the observation period. However, he is a magician who has mastered the second method after all. I don't think he has anything else. Mind—as he said, people who stick to their ideals will emit a different brilliance. I have seen this brilliance, so I believe his allegiance is not just pretending."

"Arturia, you are becoming more and more like the master of mankind!" Jeanna exclaimed.

"It's nothing. Any person with management ability will have such judgment." I said modestly, "In short, there should be no other guests tonight. It's getting late, everyone, let's rest Not surprisingly, more guests will come to visit tomorrow. They have their own goals and want to get different things from me, maybe it is a promise, maybe it is a real thing, or maybe it is just a sense of presence... Don't worry, I know what to do and it won't take much time."

Weber must have spread the message of the email widely as a means of revenge.

Desires and desires, intrigues and schemes.This ordinary Japanese-style mansion will soon become a place like Camelot, surrounding my authority and power, forming a complex network like a tornado.

What the life of King Arthur taught me about how to deal with it - and the answers are in the email Webb sent.Since I am considered to be a real dragon species, how can I see it whenever I want?If I don't pay a little price, it won't be me who is in trouble, but the other party.

Chapter 27: The most evil witch in human history

◆Artoria◆

"I see, thank you for introducing yourself. Although it is as funny as a clown on stage, you have definitely impressed me-I will be happy to talk to you in the future, Mr. Greenwald .”

"With all due respect, until you can't provide a sincere option, the Ukhvar family will only remain neutral... No, you didn't understand what I mean. Neutrality is an option only for the strong, and the power possessed by the Ukhvar family Enough to destroy both of you in an instant."

"Unfortunately, Mr. Stegel, the Ukhvar family is not interested in the power disputes of the Magicians Association, and has no intention of intervening in it... No, it's not that the conditions are not good enough. Let's put it this way, your conditions are not as good as mine for me. Garbage is no different... yes, you heard it right is garbage, black plastic bags in the trash can【)

"I don't quite understand why you think so. But as a chess piece, you should have the awareness of a chess piece. Can you ask your Patriarch to discuss with me? After all, being rude to Ukhvar is both an offense and a A provocation."

"You've come close to making fun of me, Mr. Carter. I suggest you ask someone else to find out what I am. Your threats are as ludicrous as waving a torch in an attempt to frighten off a dragon—yes, I am a dragon, for real. Long. If you don’t want to die here, I advise you to leave here—immediately, immediately.”

"Just to remind you, Mr. Eric. You have been deceived, and your backstage forces sent you here to die. I know you are a pawn on the chessboard, dreaming of the day you become queen. But the reward you get is really Is it worth your life? Ukhvar is not afraid of a challenge, and they will soon realize what they have messed with."

"Mordred, help 'correct' Ladix's finger, and then 'please leave' the living room. Then tell the people outside the door that it's too late, please go back and rest."

I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the wall clock. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

A magician is a magician after all, a group of guys who are so proud that their eyes are above the top, they don't believe Weber's report, and they put on bad faces during the conversation. They really think that Ukhvar is a small family that hides from the world and can send people to discuss Even if it gave the sky a big face.

And everyone who comes to visit is a bad guy, it seems to have room for maneuver in the future, but it has no meaning other than spoiling my mood and wasting my time.Today's dozen or so people don't even know the identity of Sister Wang, and they all regard me as an insignificant son-in-law. They are extremely stupid and disgusting.

"So, Arturia, why don't you kill them?" Jeanna smiled dangerously. "It doesn't need much, just one or two, let them understand what the rules are. Only in this way can they act as a deterrent?"

"The times are different. Even the life of a magician is theoretically not so cheap that it can be disposed of at will." I replied wearily.

"But that won't work, right? They're like a swarm of flies, buzzing non-stop. There will be a bunch today, and there will be another bunch tomorrow. Artoria, if you don't do something, the whole summer vacation might be ruined like this? "Jeanna reminded.

"Would you like to contact Zellich?" Mei Lin suggested, "He is the Marshal of the Magic Dao and one of the founders of the Magicians Association. Although he doesn't usually take care of things, as long as he sends out an order, no one should be there. Are you going to bother us again?"

"Or should I summon the Wild Hunt soldiers to stand guard outside the door? Ordinary people can't see them, but magicians will definitely be able to find them." Sister Wang gave another suggestion. It seemed outrageous, but it was actually feasible. "You must have an invitation card to enter the gate, otherwise it will be a violent intrusion. At that time, whether the other party lives or dies depends on their own ability."

"Father, if you want me to say, just stick a piece of paper on the door, saying 'you can only enter if you pay one finger'. If you really come in, I will grab the opponent's wrist and cut off his finger. It can deter the opponent , can also refuse this kind of time-wasting visit." Mordred's thoughts are very violent, but violence is the most effective deterrent method, and it will not harm the other party's life.

To be honest, it doesn't matter if this matter has to be dealt with, the key is the person who makes the suggestion now.

If I accept the suggestion given by Sister Wang, Mei Lin and Mordred, they will be very happy.

Therefore, this plan must combine these three suggestions to be the best plan-yes, I am trying to curry favor with them.Relationships need to be maintained, and every decision and conversation should take care of each other's mood.I dare not think about the "seven-year itch" anytime soon.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally made a decision: "Mordred, call Rin and ask Kishua to issue a reminder and warning in the Magicians Association. Only after passing the wild hunting test can you visit Uhe The Vaal family, Miss Wang, summoned Wild Hunt regularly, two people every four hours, asked them to guard the gate, and told them the test for visitors—the visitor must be cut off by Wild Hunt with a dagger, and within 5 minutes Can’t stop bleeding, can’t shed tears, can’t make a sound, if you succeed, you can enter, if you fail, the visitor can be dealt with by the wild hunters at will—cut off the head, cut off the ear, dig out the heart and eat it, all are fine.”

The Wild Hunt is essentially a fae born out of war, slaughter and death.In the past, the Wild Hunting Legion responded to the call of the world and launched a war against the remaining mysteries to clean up the goblins, monsters, holy beasts and other creatures left in the world, leaving very detailed legends and evidence.Therefore, the difficulty of using Wild Hunt is not much different from that of using servants.

The plan sounds cruel, but the rules of the magic world have always been so cruel, because cruelty can show ancient and powerful, otherwise, anyone can step on the nouveau riche.Moreover, the implementation of this set of plans can not only show that the relationship between the family and the magician is extraordinary, but also show the ancient heritage of the family.

If the other party is really dead, because of going around in a circle, killing them[]

Then, Sister Wang suggested setting up a maze leading to another world at the door.If you can pass the tricks of the goblins and successfully return to reality, then you can accept a visit, and Sister Wang will personally heal the amputated finger for the other party.If you fail to return, you will return to the gate after a period of time and either pay another finger or leave.

The two thresholds are superimposed, and the next day is much cleaner.

Except for Rin who asked about the situation, all other visitors were turned away.

"I said, Arturia, isn't it too much for you to do this?" Sitting opposite me, Rin's voice was full of helplessness. "It is true that there were a lot of people who came to visit yesterday, and their attitudes were not good, but it is not enough to kill people, right? In just one day, three families were completely cut off. Those are long-standing families that have been passed down for hundreds of years. People died overnight!"

I was a little puzzled, because I never thought about killing people, let alone a tragedy at the level of extermination.

However, the voice of Sister Wang, who was holding my waist as usual, turned cold: "Since you came to visit with malicious intentions, and ignored the hints and warnings in the document from El-Melloi II, you will naturally have to pay for it." Arturia is the king and the lord of mankind, but as a human being, she dared to be disrespectful. Naturally, she would punish her family by killing her family. Moreover, the so-called long-standing family is nothing more than that, just a small group of wild hunters, even You can't even resist, you think too highly of yourself."

"Uh...so, Ms. Morgan, you did it?" Rin asked cautiously.

"If I remember correctly, I am the head of the Ukhvar family, right?" A cruel arc was drawn at the corner of Sister Wang's mouth, and in a trance, the cruel witch seemed to have returned. "Altoria can't bear to do it, it doesn't mean I can't bear it. On the contrary, their death makes me very happy-allowing them to die in the form of beheading instead of dying in pain while cursing and wailing is already something I can release Most merciful. Don't forget, Rin, my name is Morgan."

Sure enough, Rin was so frightened that he couldn't say a word.

This also made me realize that Sister Wang really has a bad reputation and is not easy to talk to.

Mei Lin wanted to be a good person, but Sister Wang raised her hand to signal her not to speak.

Then, Sister Wang stared at Rin coldly, and said softly in an extremely cold tone: "Artoria is all I have. If those magicians just offend me, it's really nothing. But the people who spoke yesterday It's Artoria, and it's Artoria who made things difficult for them. This made a flame burn in my heart, and this flame can't be stopped if it's not drenched with their blood. What happened in the past is real, That's why I'm particularly concerned about Artoria's feelings—Rin, can you understand?"

"I, I understand..." Rin's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he was extremely cramped. "I'll tell the Association of Magicians...Of course, it's up to them to believe it or not. Anyway, they have nothing to do with me. I was just entrusted by the Association to ask questions."

"Then tell them the truth." Sister Wang's smile became more cruel, and her eyes were so cold that they almost froze. "Tell them to put away all your little thoughts. As the former goddess of death, as the most evil witch in human history, I can hear someone talking about Artoria and me. If you don't want to get into trouble, for example The evil goblin stole the heart and the head was cut off by the wandering wild hunt, better be respectful. I didn't care before because I only had Artoria's safety on my mind. Now it's different. Insulting Al Those who hurt Arturia will die, and those who hurt Arturia will be destroyed—I will do what I say."

"I, I, I know... I'll go back and tell them! I'm sorry, I'm leaving first!"

Leaving those words behind, Rin left the mansion as if running away.

When she closed the door of the main house, Sister Wang held me tightly in her arms regardless of my reaction.

Time seems to go back to the past.In Paradise Avalon, I was held tightly by Sister Wang, and she never let go.

At this time, I finally remembered that although Jeanna's affairs were over, the wound in Sister Wang's heart hadn't healed yet, pus and blood were still flowing, pain and madness were still conveying.It's just that Sister Wang and Guinevere had fought too many times, and she knew how to endure, so she looked more normal. In fact, her wounds were worse than those of Merlin before.

Maybe something more serious?After all, after waiting for 1 years, but getting such a result, if it were me, I would definitely be heartbroken.In the end, I should blame her at this time, but I couldn't say those words after all.

"...Artoria." At some point, Sister Wang finally made a sound.

"Sister Wang, what's the matter?" I asked calmly and gently.

"Don't leave me again, okay?" Almost begging, almost praying.

"Well. I will never leave Sister Wang in the future." I made a promise and planned to practice it in my life.

"How about...how about we go back to Avalon?" For some reason, Sister Wang's voice was full of tears. "I know how to bring meat into Avalon. There, Arturia, you can eat meat. You can grill, roast, and boil meat. And not only meat, wires, network cables, everything You can receive Avalon... If you need anything, or a place you want to go, you can leave at any time, come to the gate of this mansion, and go to Fuyuki Shinto to buy... It’s already possible, it’s really possible ..."

"But I have become Mithra, anchoring the history of mankind? If I return to live in Avalon, accidents will easily happen in this world, right?" I said regretfully.He clenched his heart tightly, afraid that he might say the wrong sentence. "And... I'm fine here."

"Then... then change the place? I don't like the city, I don't like this place. It's very noisy and troublesome. I want to go to the forest, alienate part of the area, and overlap with the paradise. Let's build a castle there together , there are goblins guarding our tranquility. No one will disturb us, you can treat the erosion of magic power with peace of mind, and you don’t need to be troubled by various things.”

Sister Wang's condition is very wrong. She seems to be extremely afraid of the future and has lost the courage to move forward.

The wound in her heart was stinging, festering, and bleeding.She is afraid of losing me again, she is afraid that others will be unfavorable to me, she is afraid that I will consume myself as an object like before, she does not want me to be unhappy for a second.

I understand everything, I understand everything... But unlike Mei Lin's time, this time I really don't know what to say.

"Morgan, are you going to hold Artoria for the rest of your life?" Jeanna's voice echoed in the room, with contempt and mockery. "Admitting that I am a son-in-law, and giving you the position of head of the family, is she not respecting you enough? You have a huge advantage, Arturia recognizes you, and you have a child, but why did you marry Gui? Nivier, the woman whose father was poisoned to death by Artoria, is fighting against each other, don't you understand the reason? How long are you going to be wrong? How long are you going to make Artoria endure?"

Almost like being electrocuted, Sister Wang let go of me.
