Chapter Sixty-Eight: To Tulliface
After receiving half of the deposit from the sixth guide Lingxia, the two of them thanked them for their kindness, patted their chests and promised to complete the task, while baring their teeth and leaving this secluded alley that the two of them regarded as an excellent hunting spot.
When the backs of the two disappeared from the alley, Lingxia reached out and pinched her daughter's face, and said softly: "Jack, follow them quietly, don't be discovered by them, come to us if you find any problems, me and your mother Tolia will not leave your range of perception." β
Jack just stopped calling stranger mom, but he didn't say no, he didn't call acquaintance mom. And in order to get closer to Artoria, Lingxia also specially instilled in her daughter the concept of "Mom and Dad are a couple", which directly led to Little Jack's misconception - all the women around Dad who are similar to Mom should be called Mom.
The first to suffer was Artoria, known as "Mother Toria".
This is what happened after Shinji left, and he didn't know about it. Of course, even if he knew, he would not have any objections, and then secretly praised Lingxia - "Well done, you are simply a legendary god teammate, you can win by paddling and hanging up." β
"Leave it to us, Mom, and make sure you get the job done. β
As he spoke, Jack's body turned into a spirit and returned to nothingness.
"Mom, Tolia Mom, I'm gone. β
"Be careful on the road. Lingxia admonished, "Mother Toria, Jack greets you." β
"Well, be careful on the road, be careful on the road, and, don't use a dagger. β
Artoria was obviously not used to this kind of parent-child interaction, and she raised her hand stiffly and waved at little Jack. The stammering tone, the voice that is getting weaker and weaker, is completely devoid of the usual heroism.
"Yes, Mother Toria. Little Jack earnestly agreed, and the spirit made his way through the wall and chased after his target.
Without looking back, Lingxia knew Artoria's embarrassment, and asked with a smile:
"What, haven't you gotten used to being called mom by Jack?"
Artoria lowered his arm and said "um", "I wanted to ask before, why didn't you correct Jack's mistake?"
"Then why didn't you deny it when Jack called your mother?" asked Lingxia, the sixth director.
Artoria fell silent for a few moments before speaking, "Because there is no way to refuse." β
The legend of "Jack the Ripper" is terrifying and cruel, but when the truth of the legend is revealed, Artoria is left with only sadness and heartache.
What is the sin of an unborn child? They just want to be born into this world as a whole being, to be watched by such a "bunch" of children called mother, whether as the king of Britain or a woman who has stepped down from the throne, she cannot refuse.
"Me too. Lingxia took Artoria's hand, "From the moment that child opened her mouth to call me Mom, I thought of her as my own daughter. As long as she's happy, I'm willing to do anything. β
"You're a little too pampering her. "Although many things are her instincts, this incorrect instinct must be corrected. β
"Then it's up to you, stern Knight King. Sixth Dao Lingxia blinked, "I can't be ruthless with Little Jack, and I guess Jack's father can't either, so you can only play the role of Yan's mother." I heard that parents educate their children like this. β
"I... I don't have experience in educating children, so I don't know if I can do it well. β
Artoria replied with a little hesitation, letting Lingxia know that her flattery was thrown to the blind man. She originally planned to use this ambiguous topic to tease the noble and innocent Knight King, but she didn't expect that the two were not on the same channel at all.
In this regard, Lingxia was amused and moved: "You must be able to, I have confidence in you." β
"But I don't have confidence in myself, you know, I'm being beaten by Mordredβ"
"I know, but according to Arthurian legend, Mordred was seduced by your sister Morgan - wait, something seems wrong. How did you and your sister give birth to Mordred, is that Morgan actually a man?"
"No, Morgan, my sister she is indeed a woman. β
"That Mordredβ" In an instant, Sixth Guide Lingxia realized that she seemed to have come into contact with some big secret that no one knew.
Artoria sighed and didn't answer, just said, "Well, Jack is almost out of my senses, let's follow." β
Lingxia knew that she didn't want to say more, so she didn't ask and followed silently.
Half an hour later, Lingxia boarded a chartered tour bus from a travel agency to SigeΘoara as a tourist.
Sitting in the aisle, she hugged something with one hand, and with her chin in the other, she muttered to herself to the empty seat by the window:
"Now it's time for you to admit that they're useful. β
"Well, I'll admit it. Artoria's whisper reached Lingxia's ears, "I remember you saying that there are two reasons for letting them go, and what is the other one?"
"It's concealment, 'he' said, at this stage, the primary goal is to hide oneself from being detected by both the red and black sides. So anything that causes a topic of conversation should be avoided. And in this world, the most likely topic is the dead person, which will attract the attention of the police, the media and the mafia (harmony) party, and it is easy for 'those people' to know. β
"Isn't it noticeable if you get hurt?"
"In a big city like Bucharest, where the mafia (harmony) party exists, there are many of these small minions who are injured every day, and no one will care. β
"Are those two going to leak our news?"
"It doesn't matter. It's best not to leak it, and if it does, no one will believe it, and being beaten up by a kid who looks like he's only ten years old, and being held up by the neck - hehe, if I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have believed it. I don't think they'll have the luck I have. They are just trash fish at the bottom, and they have no access to people who are qualified to know such things. β
This is the excellence of the six directors Lingxia. A natural genius and a natural monster unique in this Holy Grail War. Her understanding and observation of things is extraordinary, and once she has a goal, she devises the best tactics like an AI.
In Shinji's cognition, her tactical formulation ability is enough to rank in the top three of all the masters, second only to Amakusa Shiro and Danic, but because she is willing to fall and give up on herself, she has no motivation except to survive, until now.
"I always feel a little uneasy and unwilling. β
Artoria muttered quietly, her mind not hidden from Lingxia.
"Because you don't want to let go of those two scumbags?"
Artoria doesn't deny it either.
"Don't worry, the two of them will be punished, my money is not so easy to take. β
Sixth Guide Lingxia closed her eyes to hide the cold light in her eyes.
If you don't kill people with your own hands, you won't die? The temptation of money is endless, especially among a group of scum who see money.
No matter what country they are, these scumbags will always be the same, stacks of green coins plus a "overheard" message, plus the effects of alcohol - if nothing else, they will die tonight.
Little Jack in his arms suddenly called out to "Mom".
"Did you make any noise?" Lingxia said softly.
"No, I just heard Dad talking. "The relationship between Jack and Shinji is much easier and less noticeable than the contact with Artoria through the master-slave contract, after all, Shinji is currently in Black's base camp and needs to be cautious in every move.
"So, what did Dad say?" Lingxia was not surprised, since she had stepped into Romania, it meant that the war had begun.
"Let's go to the village between Tulifis and Sighisoara, whose name is ......"
