"BB......" Xia Ran tugged at the corners of his mouth, and suddenly came to his senses in an instant.

This makes sense, after all, he doesn't pay much attention to the ubiquitous Lingzi signals in the air, just like ordinary people in the modern world have never felt anything about the various electromagnetic waves that fill the surrounding atmosphere.

Even if Xia Ran can perceive it and see it exactly, he can read the flow of information in the Lingzi network just like reading the information carried in the electromagnetic waves. But it doesn't make sense, because there's no need.

And even if the current Lingzi network is still very simple, not as large as the Internet of later generations, but it is also a "magic" network covering the entire European region, and it has recently started from Britain itself, trying to open the lower links to the people, and the Lingzi network is beginning to popularize in the civilian field......

And because the central host is set up in the Tower of Radiance, even the entire tower itself can be regarded as a huge Lingzi signal transmission tower that is large enough to cover the whole world, basically there is a huge amount of information from all over Europe all the time, carrying out various processing, calculations and other data throughput.

Therefore, even if BB turns on the data transmission near Xia Ran's room without concealment, and broadcasts what happened to Artoria directly and live, it will be difficult for the parties concerned to find out-

The magician can perceive the flow of information in the Lingzi network around him, but he only habitually thinks that it is normal, that the Lingzi algorithm is receiving a huge amount of information from all over Europe, and after the calculation is completed, it will send feedback back...... After all, he was completely defenseless, so he didn't try to read the information.

Sure enough, it's still a real Sakura, and it's much more cute......

Xia Ran pressed his forehead with one hand, raised his head and sighed: "Sure enough, I shouldn't have been soft-hearted at that time......"

"No, you can't do that...... I'm going to settle accounts with her! After a slight pause, he slapped his palm, said very seriously, and was about to turn and leave the other side of the hallway.

"There's no rush on this matter, Master...... Let's talk about this matter first, have you forgotten what you promised me? Annoyed, Artoria was quick to move, stepped forward, and directly grabbed the guy who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to slip away.

"Huh? What the? Xia Ran blinked her eyes and looked at her innocently, "I didn't promise anything, I didn't say anything at the time, and Miss Medea came......"

"You're ......!!" The girl is angry, the question is this?

On the other side of the "......", Mordred looked at the interaction between the two with a gloomy face, feeling that his existence seemed to be very redundant, and suddenly the whole person was not good, and there was a kind of low air pressure behind him? The black gas visible to the naked eye was emitting in all directions.

Artoria calmed down a little? She took a deep breath and stared at her master with very stern eyes, "If I don't come now?" Master, what are you going to do? ”

“…… Help Xiao Mo inherit the unification. The magician replied honestly.

"I'm not dead yet!" The Knight King raised his voice in exasperation.

"Ahem? That's not what I mean, as long as it's normal? Just let her inherit Camelot's throne......" Xia Ran raised his finger and scratched his cheek, explaining.

Artoria tried hard to resist the urge to draw her sword and stab him? The Sword of the Stars Lost and Found? But I haven't used it for so long, and I'm already a little rusty and unaccustomed: "All in all, I'm not ready to admit it, you guys are dead to this heart!" ”

As soon as this sentence came out? Just like a sharp sword? Mordred's expression on the side changed instantly, and she felt that her heart was dripping blood, and she couldn't breathe in pain.

It's like Morgan arranged for her to hide her identity and sharpen her minions, but she didn't comply at all? Instead, it was disclosed directly to King Arthur. Is it because her longing and admiration for her father far exceed her mother's obsession and ambition? She wanted to be recognized by her father and proud of her.

So she didn't act as Morgan intended? Instead, he wanted to be a noble knight recognized by his father, but on that day? Artoria rejected her just as ruthlessly.

"Why...... Why can't you admit me! Didn't King Arthur always be honest and upright? Is it known for being impartial? Why do you have to be treated differently in my affairs?! ”

A deep voice sounded? It was not the magician who asked the question, but the rebellious maiden knight, who clenched her fists angrily, gritted her teeth, and asked with fierce hatred in her eyes that stared at her father: "Do I ...... As a doppelganger of Morgan, should I be so disgusted by you? ”

It was both hatred for Artoria and disgust for herself like this.

Why not give up the throne to yourself?

Why don't you recognize yourself as a son?

Why, did you come into being born in this form?

As hot her love for her father is, the hatred that turns into a hatred is so strong that her "father" does not recognize her as a "son", and she is angry with Morgan, disgusted that her sister uses magic to imitate and copy the android based on her!

But it's not fair at all! It's obviously not my fault!

“……”

“……”

Artoria frowned and turned her head, facing the indignant Mordred, she was silent for a moment, and then replied with a blank face:

“…… I have never hated you, and I still say that there is only one reason why you do not pass on the king's position - you have no means to be a king, that's all. ”

Mordred was slightly stunned, she remembered this sentence, because this was the last thing Artoria had ever said to her before she died, and it was the last answer she had given to her at the sword bar.

However, in the eyes of Mordred, who was blinded by resentment at the time, such a fluttering sentence was not convincing at all, and it was simply a perfunctory statement that her father did not want to admit her...... Of course, the same is true now.

Mordred was bent on getting Artoria's approval, and her eyes could only see that. So once this matter fails to achieve her wishes, or is denied, she will not be able to think calmly about other things.

How could he admit that he did not have the measure of being a king? Naturally, she only felt that no matter how hard she tried, even if she was better than anyone else, she was already contemptuously regarded by King Arthur as the reason why she had defiled her life's evil son at the moment of her birth.

"Okay, okay, you all calm down...... After all, they are all a family, so what problems can't be sat down and discussed? ”

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between the two knight girls was strong, and it seemed that history was about to be repeated, Xia Ran hurriedly inserted between the two to stop the possible collision.

"Who's family with you!" Mordred, whose fire of abomination was burning in his heart, did not appreciate it at all, and gritted his teeth and glared at him angrily.

"I mean you and Artoria are a family, whether it's father and son, mother and daughter, this fact won't change after all......" Xia Ran didn't care, and calmly corrected the rebellious girl's statement.

"Who and her...... She is, is she ......" The rebellious knight blurted out, instinctively about to refute, but he reacted halfway through the words, and suddenly became stuck, and his face turned red.

I want to deny it, but I don't have the right words, but if I don't deny it, I feel that I am weak.

All in all, how uncomfortable it was for Sensei to hold back.

"Master, please don't meddle with things......" Artoria also frowned in annoyance, that is, years of affection and the nerves honed were able to keep her calm all the time.

If it were someone else's repeated death, constantly provoking her sensitive nerves, it is estimated that she would have been pierced by the holy spear a long time ago......

"I want to be nosy, but isn't your business my business? How can it not be done, do you know what I mean? The magician also said a little helplessly, "And in the end, the personalities of the two of you are too awkward, obviously a very simple thing, I really can't see it......"

It is impossible to say that this matter can be delayed indefinitely, sooner or later Artoria and herself will have to leave, even if she has cut this world line from the quantum record fixed belt of the entire universe, placed it inside herself and re-expanded, it will not change anything.

It is impossible for Xia Ran to say that he can disappear from the cause and effect of the entire external world by expanding the world inside himself, and then hiding in his own inner universe world.

Maybe there will be hope in the future, but it is not possible now.

So the return to this result is also inevitable, so Artoria must also let go, and she needs to establish a successor before that...... Is there any other option? Everyone knows that Mordred is really the only candidate.

Unless the Knight King can seize the opportunity to have another one before leaving, then there will be an extra choice.

“……”

Your business is my business? Artoria opened her mouth, but finally silently turned away and said nothing.

It seems that she knows what she means, Xia Ran felt a little relieved, he is not unable to understand Artoria, probably because the other party has been subconsciously denying Mordred, so he didn't think about this stubble at all, and ignored the fact that she was going to let go sooner or later.

Mordred, who was next to the "......", also opened his mouth, but he also didn't know what to say, but his eyes on the magician had become wary and complicated.

What is the relationship between this man and his father? I don't have an extra guardian, right?

Or is it because he thinks this way that he has such an attitude towards himself and will help himself for this reason? Is he taking himself for ...... Is it his daughter? No, no, it's disgusting, I absolutely can't accept it!

The rebellious girl knight subconsciously thought so crankily in her mind, feeling that her mind was messed up, and her expression was the same as her mood, which was unprecedentedly complicated. She instinctively resisted such a thing, and even felt that she was absolutely unacceptable just thinking about it!

But...... But......

If this man can get his father to approve of him......

Mordred bit her lip tightly, her fists clenched and relaxed, and this was repeated several times, obviously fighting between heaven and man in her heart. She instinctively hated such a thing, but the possible outcome of this matter was what she had always hoped for, so reason and selfish desires were constantly fighting in her heart, and it was difficult to make up her mind.

“…… Let's all be honest, just say what you think in your heart, don't always play dumb riddles, let the other party think about it by himself, tragedy often happens like this. ”

At this time, Xia Ran was also talking eloquently, seizing this rare opportunity to express his opinions while Artoria and Mordred were obviously pondering something, and did not interject.

"Mordred's thoughts are the best, to put it simply, deep down she just wants to get Artoria's approval, I hope you can recognize her as a child with your blood, for her who has been extremely lacking in fatherly love since childhood, your status is simply equivalent to God'......"

He stretched out his hand and pointed at Mordred, and in a flat and straightforward tone, he mercilessly revealed the girl's innermost thoughts and visions.

"You ...... guy"

No one likes to be exposed like this, so the rebellious knight who woke up in an instant blushed, his arm trembling as if he was about to pull out the magic sword.

Artoria was obviously moved for a moment, she didn't know that she had such a transcendent position in Mordred's heart, but she quickly stabilized her emotions and said calmly: "I have never heard of such a believer who would want to overthrow his own god......"

"Love is deep, hate is so deep, and it's clear that you and Morgan are not good parents by example." Xia Ran replied calmly, "Morgan gave birth to her just to get a tool for revenge, and you never wanted to admit her after knowing her existence......"

Plus, Mordred was still a kid at all.

Because it is an artificial human made by magic, the growth rate is far faster than that of a natural person, and the life cycle is correspondingly short. Compared to her peers, when babies who could not yet speak and walk only knew how to cry, Mordred was already trying to wield a sword and train herself in order to become a truly noble knight.

By the time those peers reached adulthood, she was probably close to dying...... Considering that King Arthur's reign was only about ten years, Mordred's age was probably ten years or less.

"Keep pestering, this matter is endless after all, if you really don't want to admit her, be decisive and ruthless......" Xia Ran narrowed his eyes and looked at Artoria, "What do you think about Mordred's existence, even if it's only once, say it honestly." ”

"Humph......"

Mordred snorted coldly and turned her head to look elsewhere, as if she had put down what had just happened, and did not want to deal with the magician, although she tried her best to show that she didn't care, but everyone could see that she was full of nervousness and fear at the moment.

Artoria was silent for a long time.

Or say some cruel words, and the problem can be solved directly, but she can't say it at all...... And that's not what she really thinks.

She let out a long sigh and hesitated for a moment before she spoke, "I really don't have any hatred for her, it's not her fault in the first place......"

"Then why don't you admit me!"

Mordred seemed to breathe a sigh of relief instantly, and an ecstatic look appeared in her eyes, but then it turned to suspicion and vigilance, and she was heartbroken, and she would not easily believe such a baseless statement.

"Because you don't have the ...... for the king," Artoria seemed to be at ease, and she looked at her "child" calmly and said, "I know the rough fate of Britain, and that inheriting this throne means endless disasters, and it should not be your responsibility......

"W-What?!" Mordred felt like she was stunned.

Artoria didn't stop, but continued to herself:

"I've been preparing for this since I was a child, and I've been studying day and night for fifteen years, even in my sleep...... And Mordred, you lack the most crucial education to be a king, because you are not qualified, so I will not recognize your inheritance. ”

That's all.

"No, it can't be! You obviously hate Morgan, and you are worried that my identity as an inexplicable "illegitimate child" will be exposed, slandering your reputation and weakening your authority, so you refuse to admit me! The Rebel Knight's face suddenly turned hideous, and she roared like this.

"I confess that I have feared that your presence will lead to a rupture and civil war in Britain, and that the kingdom will be destroyed, because you know that under all the pressures, I must be more cautious."

The Knight King nodded, admitted, and then hesitated for a moment—

"But I've thought about it, if you can prove yourself and be able to truly match that throne, then I'll recognize you and help pave the way for you......"

"You didn't give me a chance at all! How can I prove myself! I'll never be able to sit at the bottom of the round table, can I?! Mordred laughed angrily, she was indeed deceiving herself.

"I have."

Artoria still looked at her calmly: "During my expedition, I entrusted the responsibility of protecting the kingdom to you, the end of the round table, and no one else. ”

“……”

“……”

Mordred was struck by lightning, and the whole person froze.

She suddenly remembered that the reason why she was able to take the opportunity to lead the rebellion, contact the princes and lords who had always had bad intentions, and instigate them to join her command one after another, was because of this reason, otherwise, she would not have been able to do all this easily.

When he was rejected by his father, thinking that his father was disgusted and contemptuous of him, he was entrusted with the important task of protecting the kingdom, and it was clear that there was Gao Wen, who was called the king's right hand, and the king's brother Kai...... But he chose himself as the last Knight of the Round Table......

And because of the rejection at that time, she had become extremely vicious and could no longer think calmly.

Mordred betrayed the king's trust, and instead of seizing the opportunity to prove his worthy of the throne, he raised the flag of rebellion and launched a rebellion, leaving Britain to ruin......

Is this the meaning of what my father said to himself at the end of his return? There is only one reason not to pass on the throne to yourself......

At this moment, the rebellious girl could not describe the frustration and remorse she felt.

I used to pursue it constantly, and I felt that I would probably not get the glory in my life, and I had already been awarded it, but I was unconsciously damaged by my own hands.

He is the stupidest knight in the world, and his hatred for King Arthur is convinced that he is worthy of the throne......

Such a mistake, she actually brazenly believed that it was right.
