Chapter 39: The Sage and the Knight
With sad eyes, Helga stared at the young man in front of him.
"I'm sorry." She spoke softly.
"Excuse me?" Edward asked rhetorically in a sad tone.
"Mom has been dead for more than ten years."
"If I hadn't seen this painting, how long would I have been hidden?" His voice trembled a little. Haha, it seems that I am also a professional actor as an actor, and Edward tried his best to express the sadness in his heart that the truth had been concealed for more than ten years.
Seeing Edward's excited appearance, the girl was a little anxious.
"At that time, you were too young, I was afraid that you would not be able to withstand the blow, and as long as you really became a baron..."
"Forget it!" Edward interrupted the girl's explanation, turned around, and looked out the window at the pouring rain.
Thinking of the memories sealed in his mind, the gentle woman who stopped in front of him alone when he was a child, forcibly awakened the rainbow dragon bloodline in his body, and died with the ferocious abyssal creature that pounced on him. Even though it was just a performance, the performance of the woman in his memory still made Edward feel incomparably great, and he couldn't bear to blaspheme the kind of maternal love that transcended everything.
"Helga, I can understand you." Edward whispered.
"But." Clenched his fists, he jerked his head back, blonde hair swaying in front of his forehead.
"Damn the abyss!"
"I'm going to avenge my mother!"
There was another thunderclap in the sky.
The cruel memories of his childhood not only made him a little passive when he fused the residual consciousness of a magic otaku, but more importantly, it deeply stung the heart of the original orphan of the Celestial Empire plane who longed for maternal love.
Edward looked at the girl in front of him seriously.
"Now that I have awakened my mother's rainbow dragon bloodline."
Edward solemnly repeated the words he had begun to say, "I am Merlin, Edward Merlin!" ”
There was a hint of unmistakable stubbornness in his tone.
Looking at the stubborn and determined young man in front of her, Helga was stunned, she knew that Edward, who made up his mind in this tone, would not easily change his decision again.
He hesitated.
"Okay!"
She nodded anyway.
"Boom!"
The thunder in the sky continued to explode in the sky like raindrops, and the trajectory of fate turned a big bend here, and since then, it has slid into an unpredictable and hazy future.
・・・・・・
Time always flies, and after Edward and Helga's conversation, at dinner, Edward announces his decision to change his mother's surname to Merlin and renounce his Hufflepuff inheritance.
Unlike what Edward had imagined, Cassiso and Walter, who were familiar to him, did not persuade him to abandon the decision, as he had begun to imagine, but accepted it very calmly.
Edward reacted when he saw the girl sitting next to him, Artoria's big touched eyes.
If the girl in front of him really ascends the throne, then, as his husband, he will automatically have the highest noble title - the prince.
At that time, will you look down on this little baron?
Moreover, in the eyes of everyone, his actions are also an act of giving up a comfortable life now and firmly supporting Artoria in the future.
After the meal, Edward, who returned to the bedroom alone, came to the main god space again.
Alice, the magical intelligence program, saw Edward's appearance from a distance in the corner of the empty main god space, and happily flapped her emerald green wings, crossed a straight line in the air, and flew in front of Edward.
Looking at the cute little things in front of him, Edward's rollercoaster during this period of time relaxed his tense mood.
He kept fiddling with his fingers, and under the influence of the environment of the main god space, which has abundant magic factors, the little guy's pair of small wings had a slightly cool touch.
The teasing little thing kept wrapping around his fingers, dangling in a cute circle.
"Edward, what are your plans for the future?"
"What is the bottom of the so-called Hufflepuff family?"
The cold voice of the main god asked directly, but it knew that the Hufflepuff family had nothing to compete with hundreds of silver-level powerhouses.
"Haha!" Edward smirked. "Isn't that what I'm talking about?" "As for my plan, huh!"
"You'll know when the time comes!" He looked up at the large ball of light in front of him.
"At that time, I still need your cooperation!" The glow of the large ball of light flickered, but he didn't expect Edward to sell him to him. "Alright! Edward, I think it should be time to remind you that the amount of cause and effect wrapped around you skyrocketed tenfold when Helga officially promised you to become 'Merlin'! The Lord God reminded calmly.
"Oh? Is it? Edward's eyes narrowed, and it was also being cleaned up.
If she hadn't crossed by herself, Ferex would have succeeded in her rebellion, and with Helga's pride, it was obviously impossible to admit that an illegitimate child was on her head, and she would probably give up the Hufflepuff surname.
King Uther's letter, the old butler Blake should also give it to her when Helga breaks through the silver level in the future, if that's the case...
"Because if it weren't for you, Helga would be Merlin!" The calm voice of the Lord God confirmed what Edward was thinking.
"Sure enough!" Edward nodded in relief.
"Edward!" The Lord God took the initiative to speak in a rare way.
"Do you remember the mage apprentices Helga brought back?"
"Those mage apprentices?" Edward thought carefully, as the main god in a state of pure sanity, he would not ask him boring questions.
After thinking about it for a long time, I carefully retrieved the memories in my mind.
Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin were three names that Edward had an indescribable familiarity when he heard Helga's introduction.
At this time, after being reminded by the Lord God, he had more and more, yes, a feeling that he seemed to have heard before.
Suddenly, in Edward's memory, the plane of the Celestial Empire flashed, and in a certain Hollywood movie, the figure of the little wizard with a lightning scar on his forehead.
Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, aren't these the names of the branches of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in that novel?
Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, Salazar Slytherin plus my sister Helga Hufflepuff, aren't these the four founders of Hogwarts!
Is this just a coincidence of the name, or...
Edward jerked his head up and looked at the large ball of light suspended in mid-air.
"Lord God! Does this world also include the Harry Potter plot? ”
"But if, according to our initial guess, I don't show up, won't Helga become Merlin?"
His voice was full of questions.
"Edward, I can't tell what the real history is. Perhaps, it was in the later history that Helga suffered some other changes. ”
"However, I am completely sure that the general trend of cause and effect in the face of Helga will indeed be transferred to you when Helga promised you to become Merlin."
"Whatever the future holds, your presence has changed history, and everything you have done has already touched the pulse of the whole world." "It's a real world after all!"
"Remember, as long as you don't die, don't offend the general trend of the world!"
"The future is at your feet, it's up to you how you go!"
Is it? Does it just depend on how I go?
Edward thought silently in his heart, not noticing at all, the little thing in his hand, Alice, had already sat on his shoulder at some point, snuggling up to his ear with a happy face.
・・・・・・
"My child!" A gentle female voice appeared on the continent of Sacred Obarro, among the oval lakes that radiated a dreamlike luster in the Pin Ne forest of France.
"I'm here, Mom!" The knight, dressed in full body armor, was half-kneeling by the lake, unable to see his specific face, except for the long purple hair hanging low on his shoulders.
The surface of the lake was flooded with microwaves, and a graceful and luxurious woman slowly surfaced, looking at the knight in front of her lovingly with clear and clear eyes.
"You've grown up!"
"Go, go to England. There, you also have an uncle alive. ”
"There, you'll have a twist of fate!"
"I'll bless you!"
The purple-haired knight knelt half-kneeling motionless.
Half-loud, he stood up silently.
"Yes, Mom!" A slightly muffled voice.
He turned around, and in the sound of the clash of armor, a few crystal tears scattered from his long purple hair.
Seeing the knight with heavy steps in front of her, the woman in the seven-colored lake clasped her hands in front of her chest.
Slowly, a colorful mist rose from the lake, and the entire lake disappeared inexplicably in this forest.
In the dark forest, it seems that the gentle voice of the woman in the lake still echoes.
"Bless you, my child, Lancelot!"
