Chapter 346: Merlin's Story (2)
The battle is a bit anticlimactic, of course, this does not mean that the war is over, as long as these Cybertrons are not completely killed, it will not be over. But it seems that Lin Mei doesn't care too much about this, looking at her now that she has no heart and lungs to eat roast chicken, Hei Bai feels as if she has fallen into a pit!
"So you promised them to stay and resist the Cybertrons as soon as your blood got up?" asked Hei Bai rubbing his temples with some distress, if he didn't know that every free NPC has a real soul in his body, he would definitely scold the system for doing things now.
"Well, it's been a long time since I've eaten such a delicious roast chicken!" Lin Mei looked satisfied, as if she had eaten stinky tofu and others hadn't eaten it.
The corners of Heibai's mouth twitched, "Then you can eat with peace of mind**!"
Then he turned to look at the other two people in the room, one was a muscular blonde warrior, the other was the leader of the mage team in hooded robes.
"Let's ignore some stupid girl who is always changing the subject, can you tell me what all this is all about?"
I don't know if these people don't trust Hei Bai or because of other reasons, after saving Lin Mei from Hei Bai, the whole team looked at Hei Bai with a little strange eyes, and no one talked to him on the way back. Speaking of which, the Arthurian army in this timeline seems to be much richer than in history, at least in terms of city construction.
Well, it's a bit of an inaccuracy to say that this is a city, with its high walls, dark style, mountainous terrain and occasional blood-stained walls, it looks more like a fortress. In black and white memory, it seems that the city of Gondor in the Lord of the Rings movie is very similar to this. Today, Black and White and the others are in a hall in the castle for meals and gatherings.
"Is he trustworthy?" the black-robed mage asked in his hoarse voice, and Lin Mei, who was gnawing on the chicken legs, nodded back in her busy schedule.
Black and White rolled his eyes, "You don't actually have to speak with your voice suppressed, and the next time you use magic to disguise, don't cover your face, at least cover your body shape, otherwise it will be easy to see through." Oh, you see the guy next to him is well hidden!"
“......”
The air seemed to be frozen suddenly, and the blonde warrior who had been looking high-spirited clenched his fists and had a hint of darkness in his eyes, but the funny thing was that even after the secret was revealed, there was no killing intent after "you know too much"!
"Well, an upright man!" thought to black and white.
The black-robed mage paused and stretched out his hand to pull the hood open, and the darkness that could have covered his face disappeared suddenly, revealing the beautiful and noble face behind it. That's right, it's noble, this is a beautiful woman full of aristocratic temperament, red hair, brown eyes, and a very high-end face, a bit of an ancient version of the meaning of the black widow. Gently retreating from the black robe, underneath is a suit of leather armor, which shows his plump and tall figure undoubtedly.
Black and white looked up and down and didn't have any superfluous thoughts, well, a little unacceptable for a woman who looked taller than him. Attention, just looks taller than him, really!
Black and white looked at the blonde warrior again, but this guy didn't have this kind of consciousness, and still maintained the illusion of a "real man".
Black and white was about to say this, but saw the red-haired beauty wave her hand to undo the illusion, revealing a beautiful and serious face under the illusion. It's still blonde, but it's softer than a man's, and her face is very beautiful, although it's not as seductive as a red-haired mage, but she has a heroic posture of a woman, and the most profound thing is the heavy sense of responsibility in her eyes.
Turned her head to look at Lin Mei, "Are you guys filming Thunderbolt Jiaowa?"
Lin Mei obviously didn't understand this stalk, and stuffed the chicken paws into her mouth indiscriminately, "We can't help it, don't you know the prejudice against women here, words like heroines are completely deviant here, only corsets and skirts are women's destiny!"
Hei Bai couldn't help but laugh when he looked at her with a mouthful of oil, "Then you have shown your face in front of the army and mages before, will it have an impact?"
Lin Mei shook her head, "No, in the eyes of everyone, Mage Merlin is a powerful power, who can change from male to female and into an animal." When you attack, you become a man, and when you are attacked, you become a woman, and that's in line with the values of those warriors!"
Black and white blinked, as if he had suddenly discovered something terrible, "Mage...... Merlin?"
"Yes, the people here are very interesting, they put their names in the front and their surnames in the back, my name is Lin Mei, and I will become Merlin here, there is nothing wrong with this!" Lin Mei said and peeled off the chicken skin, she didn't like to eat chicken skin very much, unless it was fried and crispy. Well, it's her rare picky eater.
Black and white covered his face, "What's wrong, what's wrong?"
Looking at Lin Mei's heartless appearance, Hei Bai looked at the other two beauties, "These two are ......"
"The blonde one is Artoria Pendragon and the red-haired one is Guivigna, two of my friends who met here. Lin Mei explained.
"How did you see through my illusion?" Before Lin Mei could introduce anything, the red-haired beauty Gui Viña asked, the inquiry in her eyes made Black and White feel like she was facing a few top students when she was in school. Is this a research-oriented talent?
Thinking like this, Hei Bai also put on a posture of learning to communicate with each other and said: "Illusions, they are all incorporeal, simple illusions can deceive vision, complex ones can deceive the five senses and even the intuition of the human body itself!" But spiritual power is not among them, because spiritual power is directly linked to the soul, and I'm not sure if there is an illusion that can directly deceive the soul, but at least I haven't encountered it yet." ”
Gui Vinia's delicate body stiffened, and her expression was wonderful, she had no idea that there were so many varieties of illusions. He only listened to black and white and said: "Your illusion only stays at sight, touch, and hearing, not to mention spiritual power, just smelling the body fragrance on your body can arouse suspicion! If it weren't for the habit of using perfume for both men and women here, I'm afraid you would have been seen through it a long time ago!"
Gui Vinya's cheeks flushed, and even Artoria's expression on the side was a little awkward, Lin Mei ('へ ́*)ノ "Rogue!"
Ignoring their contempt, Black and White continued: "In addition, I would like to say that there are many ways for the Cybertrons to detect their enemies, in addition to ordinary optical capture, there are also infrared scans or sound wave detection, and your illusion has no effect in front of them, but the Cybertrons do not understand the disparity between the status of men and women in the human race, otherwise this is a huge flaw." ”
Gui Viña was stunned and said hurriedly: "What should I do?"
"There's nothing to do, just kill the Cybertrons, and if you don't have a penchant for power, put on a play to fake your death. I have a few friends who are very good at it, and they have learned a lot from me!"
Gui Viña looked at the black and white smug expression, and his face fell, is this something to be proud of?
"I don't mind the power, you know that I only stood up because no one came forward, and when the demon is destroyed, I will retreat bravely!" Altoria, who had not spoken, finally spoke, and his voice was very magnetic.
Black and white pouted, "What kind of mental journey are yours?
"I'll tell you!" Lin Mei wiped the grease stains on her mouth with her sleeve, well, this habit should be one of the reasons why everyone thinks she is a gentleman.
"The people here are very warlike, and they feel that war and raiding are more efficient than being at ease. Therefore, all the lords who have a little power under their hands have begun to fight for territory, which has turned the originally small territory into a mess. Lin Mei pouted as she spoke, and the battle was indeed unchanged everywhere.
"Later, those machines, the Cybertrons came, and they should have been united with the outside world when there were external enemies, but these lords had their own ghosts, and they couldn't fight the enemy together wholeheartedly, so the situation was getting worse and worse, and many lords had already been killed!" Lin Mei shook her head with a sigh.
"Later, we came up with a way to spread a rumor and build an artifact, saying that whoever can afford this artifact will be the destined king and will lead the people to defeat the demon!"
Hearing this, Hei Bai suddenly stretched out his hand and interrupted: "Stop! There's a problem here, it's just a rumor, what's the matter with the artifact?" Those lords shouldn't be stupid, will they believe this kind of rumor?"
Lin Mei smiled a little proudly: "If it is an ordinary thing, naturally it will not be able to deceive those lords, but Gui Vinia has applied a heavy magic effect on it, and there is no way to lift the artifact with the strength of ordinary people." Then we'll make the artifact into the shape of a sword and insert it into the boulder, and then play a scene for Artoria to pull out the sword!"
Speaking of which, Artoria took out the sword on his waist very cooperatively, and from the black and white probe, it was a very ordinary sword, but it was covered with a layer of glitter on the outside.
Hei Bai frowned slightly, "And then those lords will recognize you as king?"
The third girl nodded, "Yes!" (•̀ω•́)✧
"Yes to your sister!" Black and White drew his sword and slapped it on the table, "Do you think those lords are really stupid? I ask you, what is Artoria's identity, and there should be someone besides you who knows her identity as a woman!"
Lin Mei was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Yes, there are ...... Uh......"
"There's nothing to hide. Seeing that Lin Mei was a little hesitant, Artoria took the initiative to speak: "My father is the lord Yusher, but my mother is the wife of another lord, so I was born of an affair between the two. Later, my mother married my father after the lord's death, and no one except my father and brothers should know that I am a woman!"
Black and white, the bloody plot of the court drama, "That's right, as long as you are a slightly ambitious lord, you won't believe in rumors like the king of destiny, the reason why they let you take the lead is because they should already know your identity as a woman, even if you finally lead the people to win the war, you can't become a king as a woman." As soon as they reveal your identity, everything will be back on track, and if it ends well, you will become a heroine for a lifetime, and if it doesn't end well, they may burn you to death in the name of a witch or something!"
“......”
The black and white words frightened the three sisters, they looked at each other, people said that the dark people in their hearts can't see the light, is this man too gray in his heart? Everything was fine before he came, those leaders gave the main soldiers to the soldiers, asked for food and food, and they were always very cooperative!
"Are you sure?, is it so dark?" Lin Meixiu frowned slightly, she was different from Artoria and Guinevia, she had seen the ugliness of human nature, but she had not been in the circle of power, and she did not know the methods of those politicians.
Black and white, he taught like a life coach: "The reason why they help you is because they need someone to stand up against the Cybertrons, and they don't trust each other, and they can't cooperate at all if they don't jump out of nowhere! And the appearance of Artoria seems to have made a better choice for them, if you want to promote a stupid boy and beware of this kid getting out of their control after gaining power, Artoria does not have this trouble, after all, women cannot be kings, this is a rule that cannot be broken!"
"So, did my father and brother betray me?" Artoria's face was a little disappointed, but it didn't seem surprised, "Forget it, anyway, our goal is to defeat the Cybertrons, power or something!"
Hei Bai cut disdainfully, "Sister paper, you think too simply! I can see from the previous war, you have gained great prestige in the army, although this prestige cannot let a woman be the king." But if you later side with a lord, or marry a lord altogether, then there is a good chance that these armies will support that lord as well! This is a potential help, as long as you are not stupid, no one will let it go in vain. When the time comes, it's up to the lords to see who can give your father enough benefits, and who he will sell you to? Well, maybe your father is ambitious enough to fight!"
The black-and-white words finally made Artoria angry, and he slapped the table to smash it, and the loud noise alarmed the soldiers outside. But before they could come, they heard Guiviña turn around and shout, "Don't come in!"
You must know that whether it is King Arthur or Merlin or another big man of the mage regiment, they all have great weight in the hearts of the soldiers. So when they heard the shouting, the bodies of the soldiers subconsciously trembled and retreated.
Black and white don't mind at all, just kidding, my buddy can still shoot missiles, what's so scary about you pounding the table?
"What proof do you have?" Artoria looked angry with black and white eyes.
Hei Bai smiled, "How can there be evidence for this kind of thing, you must know that politicians all over the world think similarly." During the general election, they used the territorial issue, human rights issue, and welfare issue to brush up on a wave of existence, and as for whether or not they can do it after coming to power, that is another matter! And both allies and enemy countries actually have a tacit understanding on this kind of thing, and if you provoke me, we will protest, and if you conduct military exercises, we will send more troops to the border; in fact, everyone has a tacit understanding and knows that it is impossible to really fight. ”
Hei Bai paused and said, "Let's take your business as an example, in order for you to successfully lead the warriors to win the war, your father must have informed the lords of your identity, and only then will they support you." And you are also good for your father, after all, it is equivalent to giving him an extra chip. In the future, you can advance or retreat with ease, but this bargaining chip cannot play a decisive role, because you are a woman, and if you make it public, it will cause a mutiny and make those soldiers think that you have deceived them. After all, this era does not seem to accept a woman as a king! This is equivalent to a killer weapon in the hands of the lords, and it is also the reason why the lords don't care about your father. ”
Lin Mei frowned, "Then what if we take the initiative to expose our gender, this is not a deception, right? Those fighters shouldn't have too drastic reactions!"
Hei Bai stretched out a finger and shook it, "Don't get involved in political struggles in your head, in wartime, this is the best policy." Of course you can, and the warriors can understand it, but do you think they can still fight with their lives when they know that you are women? This is due to moral prejudice, and has nothing to do with trust. It is precisely because those lords have seen through this that they have nothing to fear! To put it bluntly, you care more about the survival of this world than they do!"
Lin Mei sighed when she heard this, to be honest, she didn't understand it when she arrived here, what's wrong with women fighting?
The atmosphere suddenly became low, and Guinevia, who was next to her, patted Artoria on the shoulder comfortingly, "It's okay, when the time comes, we'll make a scene and arrange your death." Don't worry, I can use illusion to turn Merlin into a man and a woman, and I can also turn you into a dead man!"
Black and white, it sounds so awkward!
"You're a politician too?" Artoria didn't get better at Guivinia's comfort, but looked up at black and white.
Black and white looked at her playfully, and said with a smile: "If I were a politician, I wouldn't tell you these possibilities, I will secretly help you clear the obstacles, and then let you know in an unexpected way at the right time, so that you will be grateful and even make you fall in love with me without regrets!"
Artoria was stunned, Gui Vinia covered her mouth in surprise, Lin Mei simply raised her foot and stepped on the top of her foot, "Don't scare them, they are very simple!"
The corners of Black and White's mouth twitched, "I'm just reminding them that sometimes the definition of good and bad is never so simple. Conspiracy is not the preserve of bad guys, bad guys are bad guys only because they have no bottom line!"
Lin Mei looked at the frustrated looks of the two little sisters, and smiled, "That, don't care, anyway, we don't want to seize power, just defeat the enemy!"
Guinevera and Artoria didn't stand in the way, in fact they were at a very delicate juncture. The reason why Lin Mei was in danger this time was because the army was a little out of their control, which would never have happened before, and I thought it was the soldiers who had swelled, but after being reminded in black and white, if there was no trouble from the lords, I am afraid it would not happen!
Lin Mei pulled black and white to a balcony at the height of the castle, and said angrily: "Why are you telling them this, it is likely to affect the morale of the army!"
Black and White shrugged his shoulders, "I need to give them a heads-up, if my guess is correct, my appearance will definitely attract the attention of those lords, and I can't say that Artoria's father will come to the side soon!
Lin Mei choked, turned her head to look under the castle, and found that a carriage with a special emblem had entered the city, wasn't it Artoria's father!
Hei Bai looked down along her line of sight and said with a smile: "Don't care, it was okay before, now that I'm here, I don't need to care about those lords." Let's not mention that Artoria has no idea of fighting for power, even if they do, they are not afraid, with my marksmanship to kill the devil with one shot from 800 miles away, I guarantee that those lords will hang up if they can't let out their farts!"
Lin Mei sneered and glanced at him angrily, and Hei Bai smiled when he saw this: "Actually, compared to the little within the human army, I want to know more about the problem of the Cybertrons." ”
Lin Meiqi said: "What do you want to know? I know very little!"
Black and White's expression became a little more serious, "First of all, I don't want to ask why the Cybertrons are fighting you, I just want to know one thing. The Transfiguration of the Cybertrons needs to be scanned and imitated, what is the matter with that demon and the three-headed dragon?"
When Lin Mei heard this, she suddenly said: "So that's the case, it's very simple, because they scanned the demon and the three-headed dragon!"
Black and white was shocked, "You mean...... Real?"
Lin Mei nodded, "Speaking of which, the reason why I came to this country is because I felt the breath of the soul gem fragments! At that time, I was afraid that the gluttonous thing would happen again, so I went into the mountain to search alone, and who knew that a three-headed dragon was found in the belly of a mountain." The golden scale armor looked vicious, just like the current Cybertrons. At that time, these three-headed dragons were fighting with twelve Cybertrons, and they were about to lose, but then I came to help them, maybe it was the power of the dragon element that restrained this dragon creature, in short, my attack was effective. Together, we were able to kill the three-headed dragon, and the twelve Cybertrons merged into what they are today, as you saw them before. ”
Black and white frowned, "What about the soul gem fragments?"
Lin Mei shook her head regretfully, "I didn't feel it anymore after the death of the three-headed dragon, maybe it was destroyed with the death of the three-headed dragon!"
Hei Bai raised his eyebrows, Lin Mei knew the name of the soul gem fragment but didn't know what the soul gem was, that thing could be broken but definitely wouldn't disappear, so don't ask, it may have been hidden by the twelve Cybertrons, presumably shielding the fluctuations of the fragment should be very simple for them.
"We'll call that mechanical demon Infernal Demon, but we don't know where they scanned the demon, but it doesn't matter, we have to fight it anyway!"
Black and White was silent for a long time, "Mind taking me to see the corpse of that three-headed dragon?"
