Chapter Eighty-Eight: Talking at Night

Lowe and Mordred walk the streets of Plymouth Harbour at night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The temperature at night was very low, and it was a harbor city, and the season was winter, so the slight evening breeze felt like being in an ice storehouse, but it was still warm compared to the icicle in the barrier just now.

They've left the sewer barrier.

The reason for this was that Rowe was going to go back and discuss the matter with Merlin to see if there was any solution, and if the giant baby really had the ability to resemble six hundred and sixty-six beasts as Raphael said, it would be quite difficult to deal with.

did not fight with Raphael, but separated peacefully, not because Rowe regarded him as a friend, but because his servant, the servant of the Berserker rank, because of the madness, although he lost some of his mind, but also strengthened his strength, even Saber, who is known as the strongest rank, may not be able to gain an advantage in individual combat.

And Raphael's strength is still unknown, although he looks like he is about the same grade as Rowe, but the magician who can be sent to the UK alone by Astra Academy must be extraordinary.

Then it is most appropriate not to fight, but to maintain peace for the time being.

Leaving the enchantment, Esther was indeed gone, and when he got to the ground, the black sedan was gone, but fortunately, Rowe looked at the scenery on the side of the road on the way here, and barely remembered how to walk back to the villa.

Mordred suggested that it would be nice to just smash the window of the car on the side of the road and drive away, after all, he has riding skills, and driving a car is still very simple.

Luo Wei immediately stopped him, this is not the car parked in front of King Arthur's Garden last time, at that time he had already turned his face with Leenys, so he was not afraid of any problem in robbing them a few cars, but if he broke the window casually and drove away the car parked on the side of the road, he would really become a thief.

"Did you do the same when you were a Knight of the Round Table before?" Rowe wondered.

"Huh, are you thinking I'm a thief or something? I just said drive back first, and then put him down when we get back?"

Anyway, I'm going to come back to deal with that giant baby, and I'm definitely going to come back.

Luo Wei felt that he didn't understand what this meant, like if everyone put their umbrellas at the door of a convenience store on a rainy day, and when someone else left, they took your umbrella and put it down when they came to the convenience store a few days later, of course, there was a difference.

Or maybe Mordred didn't realize what a car was for a family, and the idea of personal belongings was much stronger now than it used to be, so it's no wonder that Mordred thought so.

It took about half an hour to drive to the hospital, and Esther didn't drive very fast, and Rowe estimated that it would take about an hour and a half to walk back.

It's about the same time as when I was in London, and it's not that Plymouth Harbour is the size of London, it's just that the villa is located outside the city.

However, taking advantage of this opportunity, Rowe did have something he wanted to talk to Mordred.

"Anyway, you haven't been out of the room all day, are you thinking about something?" Asking this obvious question, Rowe just wanted to communicate with Mordred normally, and what she was thinking about couldn't be more obvious, nothing more than what Merlin said yesterday.

"It's okay with you, is it?" Mordred looked impatient, not wanting to discuss these matters with Rowe.

"Did you know that the Master can see the Servant's experiences through dreams. Rowe saw Mordred, who was walking in front, pause slightly. "I saw that when you duel with King Arthur on the hill of the sword, history says that you were pierced through your body with a spear, but you also gave King Arthur a fatal blow, so it seems that that memory is real?"

Mordred didn't reply, and after a short pause, took another heavy step, only a slight tat on his helmeted head.

"Well, the emotions I felt at that time were also real, right, why did you hate King Arthur so much, although you are an illegitimate child, you are also her son.... Kid, right? Luo Wei felt that saying that his son would make the knight in front of him angry, and that saying that he was a daughter would be like saying that she was a woman, so it was best to call a child.

"So what, she doesn't recognize me. ”

A wave of resentment flowed through Rowe's mind as Mordred's words followed, and he somewhat understood why Mordred hated his father so much.

"Aren't you a Knight of the Round Table, why would she say she doesn't recognize you?" asked Rowe.

The Knights of the Round Table can be said to represent the most powerful force in Camelot City at that time, and Mordred was also one of them, how can it be said that King Arthur did not recognize her?

Unless something happened that was not recorded in history, and only the person concerned would know about it.

It's just that Mordred didn't want to mention it at all, her heart was in turmoil, and if it weren't for Rowe saying that there was a bastard who did magic experiments with babies, she wouldn't have come out of the room.

"You're so annoying!"

Mordred picked up her pace, her speed soaring, and she distanced herself from Rowe.

Seeing this, Rowe directly applied acceleration magic to his legs to keep up with Mordred's pace.

It took some time for Rowe to catch up with Mordred, but it was pretty good to be able to catch up.

"Mordred, do you think X is the same as King Arthur at the time?

Hearing Rowe's question, Mordred's speed began to slow down, and gradually she stopped running and switched to a promenade-like walk, slowly walking on the edge of the road.

The two of you chased me out of the city of Plymouth and onto the suburban road.

Rowe also stopped running, and the pursuer took a lot of his strength, and walked to Mordred's side in rough clothes.

"I don't know, whether it's look or voice, it's the same as her father, and she also remembers what happened at the time, it stands to reason that it should be her father, but ....." Because of the helmet, Luo Wei couldn't see her expression, but based on the tone of her voice, she could guess that it should be a rather tangled expression.

"If it was my father in the past, he wouldn't have interacted with me so much, um.... In the past, my father must not have cared about my provocation or anything. Mordred took off his helmet, and the knight's pretty and handsome face was a little tangled, probably to get some fresh air.

"That's right. In the dream, Rowe saw through Mordred what King Arthur was like, even though her illegitimate son destroyed her country, but still did not have that feeling of anger and hatred, as if he did not feel anything special about it.

King Arthur, who has never cared about Mordred, probably feels like this, because of the relationship between dreams, Rowe knows that feeling very well, although he doesn't experience it personally, but he can understand that feeling through dreams.

Speaking of which, this feeling seems to be there when going back in history.,Could it be that the dream related to the master being a servant.,What does it have to do with historical backtracking?

"So can you tell me what happened between you and King Arthur? I want to know more about you. ”

Mordred's face was puzzled and confused.

"Why? It has nothing to do with you, does it?"

"How can it be okay, you are my servant, if I can't understand your feelings, then I don't have the right to point fingers at you, I just hope we can understand each other, after all, our enemy is also King Arthur. ”

Regarding the news of Lancer, Rowe did not tell Mordred, probably because of the tight time at the time, Mordred did not seem to see Lancer's appearance, and later after taking the Scottish Queen, Mordred was in the control room again, so he did not see Lancer.

"Huh, you mean that father is the enemy?" Mordred said, naturally, X.

"No, no, no, it's not X, it's another King Arthur who is now in the Lancer rank, if you're talking about King Arthur who doesn't care about other people's provocations, then it's probably that King Arthur. ”

According to some conversations with Merlin, Luo Wei learned that there may be more than one King Arthur, it is better to say that this is a real situation, after all, X and Lancer give people a completely different feeling, so the claim that King Arthur has different possibilities has also been proven, since X is not the King Arthur that Mordred is familiar with, then Lancer should be the King Arthur that Mordred is familiar with.

Of course, it is also possible that neither is the King Arthur she is familiar with.

β€œLancer..... Spearman, take the Rhongomyniad?" Mordred asked Rowe for details about Lancer.

Rowe gave a general description of Lancer's appearance, as well as the spear he used in his pursuit, and the white horse he sat on.

"yes, then that guy should be the father, no, no, Lancer is more like the father. ”

Father's father's father is indeed easy to make people's heads feel confused, but Luo Wei thinks that the most chaotic head should be Mordred, after all, there is suddenly an extra father, and as an illegitimate child, she must feel that her head is big.

"It's a coincidence that her lord is the maid of my enemy, although I have taken revenge to a certain extent, but it is not enough, at least I have to take the victory of this Holy Grail War from their hands, in a sense we are on the same front, so I think it is necessary to understand each other. ”

"Revenge?" Mordred obviously didn't expect Rowe to have such a plan, from the first meeting to the present, Rowe was very serious except for the battle, and the discussion was very rigorous, and the rest of the time was basically a playful look, so she never thought that Rowe would participate in the Holy Grail War for such a reason.

Seeing that Mordred seemed to have some emotional interest in his own affairs, Rowe took the initiative to tell Mordred his story, which could be regarded as a breakthrough to bring him closer to Mordred.

However, the boy didn't expect that Mordred would show disdain after listening to his story.

"You can blame others for this? It's not that you can only write essays and have no actual ability, otherwise you won't suffer this kind of treatment even if she is behind her back, right? Mordred put it all down to Rowe's weakness.

Regarding this point, Luo Wei had to admit that the problem was that he didn't even open the magic circuit at that time, so what could he do to practice?

And when it comes to weakness, Luo Wei is very unconvinced.

"Then don't you also lose to King Arthur, so you blame yourself for being too weak?"

"What did you say, who is weaker than my father!"

"King Arthur fought with you after fighting the foreign enemy and the first knight of the Round Table, Lancelot, in a row, right?

"You idiot, can you figure out the situation? Father's great strength does not come from herself, but from the protection of the elves? If there is no protection of the elves, if you fight with your strength, your father's combat power will definitely not be as good as mine, otherwise why do you think the first knight of the round table is Lancelot and not my father. Mordred was a little angry, angry at Rowe's statement.

Luo Wei was a little confused.

He hadn't heard of it, and wasn't King Arthur not made the First Knight of the Round Table because she was king?

"Don't you know? don't you often say something that is recorded in history and not said in history?" Mordred could see that Rowe didn't understand what she was saying.

Luo Wei shook his head, he really didn't know these things.

Mordred sighed, then explained: " When her father ascended the throne and became the king of Britain, the elves of the lake came to offer her the sword forged by the elves, but her father refused, she chose the man-made farthest spear as a weapon, but the elves still gave protection to the king of Britain, because the elves were in the farthest world, which was the farthest place that humans could not reach, so the protection of the king was also called the farthest protection, and it was precisely because of the existence of the most distant protection that the father could have that powerful combat power. ”

"That's it. Rowe understood.

Is it any wonder that King Arthur was able to meet foreign enemies one after another, defeat Lancelot, and finally fight Mordred in a decisive battle on the Kamran Plains, and also killed Mordred.

"It's really troublesome, if it weren't for the existence of the most distant protection, my father's strength would not be very powerful in the round table, at least Lancelot and Gawain would be stronger than my father. "I don't know what would happen if X or Lancer heard that.

Although King Arthur embarked on the path of knighthood after pulling out the sword of the king, Lancelot and other knights have been practicing knights since birth, if it weren't for the most distant protection, King Arthur probably wouldn't be able to surpass them anyway, after all, whether it is knight's qualifications or hard work, Lancelot and other knights of the round table are not lacking.

"What about you? How do you feel like you're in the Knights of the Round Table?" Mordred just said about his evaluation of others, but not of himself.

"Of course I'm the strongest of the Knights of the Round Table, and I'm the best in terms of strength and qualifications as a king, and if I were to take over Britain, it would be the most suitable. At this, Mordred's eyes darkened a little. "Question: That bastard father doesn't approve of me. ”

"Well, I don't agree with you, although you are an illegitimate child, but she and Guinevere are both women, so they should not be able to have children, right?

Judging by history, most of the time in the past the successor was chosen based on blood, and since Mordred was the only bloodline of King Arthur, it was obviously the most appropriate for her to inherit it.

"It has nothing to do with those things, whether it's the qualifications of the king or the strength, I have it, otherwise what do you think I said later that the residents of Camelot went to Camran with me to intercept my father? They all recognized my qualifications as a king and followed, don't you think?"

What Mordred thinks about is not a blood relationship, but the qualifications of a king, before learning that he is the illegitimate son of the king, he has always admired the king, and after learning this news, he wants to become a king-like existence even more, so he works harder to practice and exercise the king's temperament at the same time.

It was only later that when he approached King Arthur and hoped that the king would pass the throne to her, he was rejected by the king for the simple reason that she was an illegitimate child.

From then on, admiration turned into hatred, which led to a series of events.

"I think you do have what it takes to be a king, how to say, I feel that if you become a king, you will be the kind of king who has majesty and frightens people, but who is unexpectedly able to get along with the people, I feel so. ”

"Hey, majesty and fear can't go hand in hand, well, how can I make the people afraid, I will convince them to accept me as king, and you don't need to worry about that. ”

Mordred is very confident, and he takes Rowe's praise for granted, and self-confidence is also a necessary quality for kings.

"And what do you think of X?" returns to the original question, and all conversations are used as a foreshadowing for this question. "Are you going to hold a grudge against X now?"

"Hmm...."Mordred fell into deep thought, and after a moment he spoke: "Well, although I am also my father, I am actually quite easy to get along with, and I always feel that if I had been such a father at that time, I would not have refused to accept the throne, right?"

"So you actually like X?" Rowe laughed, he felt that when Mordred and X got along, it was just a competitive relationship, and there was no particularly strong hatred.

"Hah, like, what nonsense do you say, how can I like that father? How can I .....?" although emphasizing the impossibility, the voice of the speaker gradually lowered.

Unlike the father who used to be, he will accept his own provocation to fight against cooking, and he will constantly quarrel with himself, although he has always been in a state of quarrel, he has never ignored himself.

Remembering that he had been impaled through the body with a spear, the father didn't even care about himself, the rebel who had destroyed her dynasty, and didn't even say a word of resentment, as if he never cared about her.

And now this father is a little different.

Probably not, but being watched and noticed by his father undoubtedly made Mordred feel some satisfaction in his heart.

After all, being willing to quarrel with her at least means seeing her as the same existence as himself, isn't it an acknowledgment?

It's a complicated and tangled relationship, and Mordred doesn't know how to say it.

But Rowe knew this by watching the change in her expression, because he had said it on the basis of such speculation.

In fact, what Rowe has been afraid of is that there is a disagreement between X and Mordred, and now only the two of them have combat power among their own servants, and if they still don't get along, it will be difficult to deal with Rhaenys and them.

But now, it seems that this hidden danger does not seem to exist.

Fortunately, X is not the King Arthur that Mordred remembers, a little different, more approachable.

"So don't be depressed by what Merlin said. Rowe comforted Mordred, he didn't want Mordred to be in his room every day.

"What are you talking about, why am I depressed?" Mordred looked puzzled.

"Then why did you lock yourself in your room?"

"I just don't want to pay attention to that guy Merlin, he will act in front of the king, and he behaves so bitterly, I don't want to watch it, Merlin is always like this. ”

"Acting?" Rowe thought about it for a moment, after Mordred left, what part of Merlin was acting, and the only thing he could think of was the part that explained his powerlessness.

Could it be that Mordred is talking about acting?

"Hey, don't be in a daze, I'll go back to my room first. Mordred reminded Rowe that before he knew it, the two of them had reached the door of the villa.

There was no light on the third floor, probably Miria and the others had already slept first, and the lights in the basement were still on, and Merlin was probably working on something.

"Then again, Mordred, if you get the Holy Grail, what wish do you want to make?" Luo Wei thought of one thing, whether it is the Master or the Servant, he will be summoned by the Holy Grail only if he wants to fulfill his wishes, so what is Mordred's wish?

"Wish....." Mordred stopped in front of the stairs, the conversation had brought Rowe closer to her, and she was willing to talk to Rowe about it.

"My only wish is to be able to challenge the Sword of Election for one. ”

With that, Mordred walked down the stairs into the villa.

Luo Wei did not speak, and followed him into the villa.

Is this Mordred's wish, really a simple wish?

The two entered the villa together, then separated, with Rowe heading down to the basement while Mordred went upstairs to his room.

The day is not long or short, but in short, I will talk to Merlin about the giant baby first, and by the way, find out what Mordred is talking about acting.

The knight took off his armor, the armor formed by the magic to be exact, and then lay down on the bed in the cool clothes that Luo Wei bought, and looked at the wall, next to which was X's room.

Mordred then closed her eyes for the first time in a long time and fell asleep.
