Rooms of the church. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Lin Xiao woke up from a coma, this is a simple Western-style guest room, and now he is lying on a bed.
"Are you awake?" came a gentle and pleasant voice, and it was the blonde knight who entered.
Lin Xiao saw the person coming, the familiar blonde hair and turquoise jewel eyes, he nervously shouted, "Artoria, are you okay?"
βγγγγ Well, I'm not the one you're looking for. The blonde Artoria was stunned for a moment and replied.
Lin Xiao looked carefully at the knight in front of her, and found that there was a raised hair in her golden hair, which was the so-called dull hair, but Artoria did not, so she realized that she had recognized the wrong person, and asked at the moment.
"I'm sorry, but can you tell me how Artoria is doing?"
The blonde knight shook his head to show that he didn't care, and then replied, "She's in the next room, and she's fine now." β
"It seems to be a happy ending, haha... By the way, thank you for taking care of us. Lin Xiao said.
"If you want to thank you, let me tell you your name, my name is Artoria, and I am here to thank you for defeating Britain's will to destroy. Artoria said solemnly.
Lin Xiao glanced at the serious Artoria, always felt very familiar, thought about it and couldn't help but smile, and then replied: "Lin Xiao, an ordinary mercenary, it's nice to meet you." β
Saying this, Lin Xiao jumped off the bed, and then shook his arm, feeling that his state was okay.
At this time, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, it was a white-robed mage-Merlin, this guy was quite handsome, he glanced at the two people in the room: "Hey, don't call me when you wake up, Your Excellency Lin Xiao, my self-introduction must be free, but I still want to thank you." β
Lin Xiao waved his hand and said, "Thank you is no need, I want to go and see how Artoria is now." β
When Merlin heard this, he said to Lin Xiao: "Artoria... She had woken up, by the lake to the east of the church, and now she was waiting for Her Excellency Lin Xiao there. β
Lin Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Alright, I'll go over now. β
Lakeside.
There was a golden sun shining in the sky, and the lake was radiant, and Lin Xiao saw a figure with golden hair standing under a big tree by the lake from a distance, looking blankly at the lake, the lake reflected the golden light, and for some reason cleverly formed a wonderful and incredible scene.
A warm smile crossed the corner of his mouth, and Lin Xiao walked over.
"Hey, what is Artoria thinking?"
The girl knight standing under the tree smiled back, and then said softly: "Lin Xiao, you are here." β
"Hehe, you see I remember the good agreement I made last time. "It was agreed at night, to be the maiden's sword, to help her cut through everything when she was confused, when she was in trouble.
"Is there such a thing, and I am really lucky to be able to get your teaching and help from Lin Xiao. Artoria said as she leaned against the big tree and sat down, then patted the ground beside her, and Lin Xiao sat beside her knowingly.
This scene is inexplicably familiar, when the girl comes to tell her confusion about the competition in Roquetown.
"It's not a long journey, but it's the first time I've been so happy, and it's all because of you, Artoria, and now that everything is settled, everything will be fine. Lin Xiao said.
"It's going to get better... Lin Xiao, what do you think the future looks like?" Artoria asked suddenly.
Lin Xiao groaned and said: "For example, Artoria went to a small town to open a dim sum shop, and she makes delicious dim sum every day, of course, she can eat happily, and then meet someone, and spend her life happily in the future." β
Artoria smiled wryly, "That's wonderfulγγγγγ I think... I probably won't be able to become a king. β
Lin Xiao said: "In this case, the king or something will give it to others to be an ordinary girl, ordinary and happy to live, Artoria, I hope you can be happy." β
He hopes from the bottom of his heart that the girl can be happy, as for the king of this kind of thing, it's very troublesome anyway, who loves to sit on whom.
"Do you want to be happyγγγγγ Artoria said, leaning her head against the trunk and closing her eyes.
"If it's you, you can. Lin Xiao took a deep breath and said.
Artoria said: "Lin Xiao, aren't you afraid of me? I also have memories of that time, and I can't resist it, and even that is the real me... Almost killed you. β
"I only remember a knight who loves food, and if I give her something good, she will smile, so why should I be afraid?"
"But is not my own existence the will to destroy of Britain, and even all memories and all wishes are false and will not be fulfilled... bar. Artoria's low voice, whether it was the knightly education in the false memory or the desire to become the king of Britain, was all instilled with magic, which was the truth, how cruel.
"Even if it's like this, even if it's a false thing, but as long as Artoria, you are willing to believe, you are willing to pursue, whether it is happiness or king, the Artoria I have seen is real, she is a special snack who loves to eat, she is a kind and strong knight who loves to be strong, nothing is false. β
"You... It's so gentle, thank you really... Artoria said in a staccato manner, then fell silent.
The surrounding voices suddenly quieted down, Lin Xiao looked at Artoria in horror, her eyes were closed, and her blonde hair fluttered in the breeze, Artoria?
"Artoria, hey????" Lin Xiao's trembling hand grabbed Artoria's hand desperately, extremely cold.
(How can this be???)
At this time, a voice came: "Your Excellency Lin Xiao, she has fallen into a long sleep, and everything is over." β
As if his heart had been hollowed out, Lin Xiao looked at the person who came mechanically.
The white-robed Mage Merlin looked at Lin Xiao with a hint of helplessness, sadness and apology, and then slowly explained: "Artoria's existence itself is a product of the will of Britain, and you should have seen her essence... The reason for all this is that Artoria pulled out the Sword in the Stone, and then stole great power from the Sword in the Stone, and the personality she generated was also to be able to pull out the Sword in the Stone, and all the memories were false and disguisedγγγγγ β
"Merlin, no matter what you think, Artoria is real, and her nobility brooks no question. Lin Xiao retorted coldly, and then looked at Artoria: "When will she be able to wake up." β
The white-robed Lin was silent and explained. "No matter what, Your Excellency Lin Xiao, her sleep is irreversible, if you want to wake up, only the will of Britain will come next time, even if she wakes up, she may not be Artoria next time, it's a monster, Your Excellency Lin Xiao, don't be too sad. β
Obviously, I said itγγγγγγ Lin Xiao looked at Merlin and said, "Merlin, is there really no way to wake her up?"
The white-robed Merlin was silent, and when Lin Xiao saw this, he spoke with a tone of expectation and pleading: "Master Merlin, I am willing to pay the price no matter what the method is. β
Merlin sighed.
"Artoria is only a vessel for the coming Britannica, and the defeat of the Britannica itself is naturally unable to maintain its function... The only way to do this is to use magic to enter the spirit world of the container, and then give half of her life to Artoria, so that she can gain life in this container.
But this premise is that the vessel, that is to say, the personality of Artoria, must be awakened and the British will that binds her must be broken. But her current spiritual world is difficult to wake up, bound by the despair and darkness of Britain's will to destroy, it can also be said to be her psychological shadow and nightmare, if you can't wake her up, then you will be trapped in her world forever, and at the same time will be swallowed by her despair and darkness, losing yourself and soul. β
Merlin gave up the only way.
At this moment, Lin Xiao received a prompt from the system, and this time he felt that the cold voice of the system was unexpectedly good.
"Trigger the unique hidden side quest, enter the spiritual world of King Arthur, redeem King Black Arthur, and complete the quest to sign a heart contract with King Black Arthur, and she will follow you from then on. β
"Choosing to take the task will cause permanent damage to the strength of the savior, please choose the savior carefully, once you choose to accept, your own life energy will be extracted by Merlin, and from now on, the strength of the savior's life energy will break through 6 stars, and the difficulty of reaching the strength of the 7-star sage will increase by more than ten times. β
This is the only chance to save Artoria, the so-called life energy is the essence of each savior itself, to put it simply, it is like the roots of a big tree, once the roots have problems, how can they grow?
I don't know when, Lin Xiao stretched out her hand and touched the girl's face for a long time, and looked at the sleeping Artoria gently, she was quiet like a beautiful elfγγγγγγ If you want to thank me, you have to at least smile, otherwise, I will never accept it!
After thinking about it, Lin Xiao decided: "It's okay, Master Merlin will trouble you." β
"Are you sure?"
"OKγγγγγ Lin Xiao nodded and responded solemnly.
For Lin Xiao, if the important people in front of him have to be abandoned, the already boring life will only be more boring, and it will be full of regret and pain.
