Chapter 30: Arthur returns
The succession ceremony was boring and boring, and Ethan noticed that many people at the succession ceremony were very unhappy with Mordred, the 'out of nowhere' heir.
"It seems that Mordred will have a lot of fun when she becomes His Majesty the King. ”
"That's her business, and hopefully she can enjoy it. ”
"Doesn't sound like a responsible father. ”
Turning his head to look at the blonde young man next to him, this familiar appearance gave him the illusion that he was still struggling to survive on that 'small' ocean.
After Ethan brought Mordred, Arthur immediately began to prepare for Mordred's succession, because it had been determined that there would be such a day, so the preparations had already been made, and everything went smoothly under Arthur's attention.
When Mordred returned to this world for nearly a month, the succession ceremony was officially held, and the crew of the Venus came to watch Mordred's succession ceremony, followed by the death of the first king Arthur.
This is the rhetoric to the outside world, but the reality is that Arthur accepts the potion provided by Ethan and Merlin and returns to his peak age.
"I'm not really a responsible father. ”
If you think about it, I was busy building a strong country all my life, and I never really cared or taught Mordred.
At the beginning, he felt that he had arranged everything for Mordred, and had found a good mentor for her, and had fulfilled his father's responsibilities.
When everything was put down and he looked back, he realized that he was no different from his 'original' self, and he didn't care enough about his children.
"So, if Mordred ruins the empire you've worked so hard to build all your life, aren't you angry?"
"Remember, when you brought another me from the parallel world, and wanted me to enlighten her. ”
Ethan brought Artoria to Arthur to let go of the obsession in his heart. At the time, he didn't expect that this incident would also affect Arthur.
"If Mordred can't govern the country well, then it proves that she is not a worthy king, and there is no need to forcibly occupy that position......"
Arthur's attitude is very clear, if Mordred does not do well and is pushed off the throne, then there is no need to cling to the throne, just let the kingdom develop naturally.
As for Mordred's future, maybe he could take Mordred around, or vice versa, let Mordred take him around?
It's like the group of people Mordred brought back, coming from a completely different world.
During this time, Ethan also helped Mordred fulfill her promise to Crane by resurrecting Michael Brown, a good pilot.
The miraculous act of resurrecting the dead had a huge impact on Mordred's men, and they had a vague idea of who they had been hired for: these were not human at all!
Next, including the newly resurrected Michael, they all need to receive basic reinforcements, because the batch of VFs ordered by Mordred, although the appearance is still the style of VF-25, but the specific parameters are more than the VF-27 that only the modified Brera can stand, and they want to give full play to the full performance of these fighters, they must make their physical fitness exceed that of ordinary humans.
Others don't talk about it, and Krausa is excited about it, isn't that what he wants?
Mordred also proved that what he said earlier about inheriting a large empire was not nonsense, and they became knights of the guard who directly served the king with a large territory, and they were satisfied with both their status and treatment.
What's more, with the support of the legendary Merlin and another equally powerful magician, most of the original suspicions have now dissipated, and Ozma has begun to consider whether to take his sister and girlfriend over?
As Mordred's 'Knights of the Guard' combat power gradually took shape, Arthur was also steadily regaining his strength: he had not practiced and fought with people for too long, even if his body had recovered to his peak state, and his magic level was even steadily improving, but this did not mean that Arthur had immediately recovered to his peak combat power, he needed time to recover.
By the time he had barely recovered eighty percent of his peak combat power, Ethan had already completed the synchronization and connection of the two worlds, and after that, Mordred and Galahad could go back and forth freely.
The individuals recruited by Mordred have the 'lowest level of clearance', and can submit applications to the artificial intelligence Luna on the Venus through their personal terminals, and after approval, they can also travel between this world and their original world through the Venus's teleportation device.
They don't have permission to use teleportation equipment at will, but that doesn't mean they can never use it, and as they grow in strength and trust, new permissions will be opened to them on board the Venus.
This is a great benefit, these people are not clear now, and presumably Mordred and Galahad will not tell them these things right away, because these people have just become their subordinates, and Mordred needs more time to get to know these people...... The ensuing turmoil was a great opportunity to test these men.
With the change of throne, the entire empire has fallen into an eerie tranquility, but even the most insensitive person can detect the undercurrent beneath this eerie calm.
"Not ready to watch the excitement here?"
"No, it's just a group of outcasts of the times who don't accept the old and some careerists who are not very capable. ”
Arthur sorted out his bags, there was actually nothing to organize, Ethan also gave Arthur a personal terminal, he had put his belongings into the storage space, mostly meaningful souvenirs that he was reluctant to throw away, and in addition to a sword that Merlin gave him.
The Sword in the Stone had been handed over to Mordred, the sword that symbolized the power of the Empire, and was now worn on Mordred's body at all times.
This time, what Merlin handed Arthur was no longer a more symbolic saber, but a weapon of great power.
When Merlin handed over this sword to Arthur, Ethan had already observed it in detail: it looked ordinary, an ordinary two-handed sword, not even much pattern, and it was not decorated with gems or the like.
One of the things that didn't go well with Ethan's imagination was that this sword didn't have any multi-layered seals that needed to be unlocked by 'roll call', and there was no setting to unlock the seals to exert its full power.
"After all these years, I also miss the adventurous life of the past. ”
Arthur glanced at Camelot in the distance, this city has developed very large, the original white city wall has long become the boundary between the inner city and the new city, standing far away from Camelot, you can't see the original extremely conspicuous white city wall.
"My life there is a bit different from what you experienced now. ”
"That's just right, I can feel the new life again. ”
Retracting his gaze, Arthur had already said goodbye to this world in his heart, and he knew that he would probably never come back after today, after all, King Arthur had passed away for this world, and he was now a young adventurer named Arthur.
He is now very glad that he has dragged on for many more years, and if he calls Mordred back when he is at the top, even if he can let go of this world, I am afraid there is no way to adjust his mentality.
It took many more years to waste, but it made him see through a lot of things.
Just as he was thinking this, a flower suddenly appeared in front of him, and the surrounding scenery had changed its appearance.
Arthur was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, remembering that when he traveled through the world with Ethan, he was not so relaxed.
"Sure enough, a lot of things have changed. ”
"yes. ”
Ethan could take Arthur directly to any area of the Venus, but he showed up in the teleportation room anyway.
After introducing the situation to Arthur, the former British king was shocked again: "You can now use this device to travel to other worlds?"
"As long as the corresponding coordinates are recorded in the device. ”
"It's really convenient. ”
He then took Arthur around the main areas before finally arriving on the bridge and letting him stand in the front window to take a look at the vast universe.
"It's spectacular. ”
It's not just about the universe, but also about praising this huge space battleship.
"If you wish, I can take you outside to get a good look at the ship. ”
"There's no rush on this. ”
Arthur shook his head, although it felt a little less interesting to see through holograms, but he found that he had a lot to work on, and he could take his time to visit something, and he had to brush up on some 'common sense' first, so as not to make jokes later.
"And...... You seem to have something ready to do. ”
Ethan nodded, he didn't think his thoughts could be hidden from Arthur, who had been a king for decades, and Arthur's research in the past few decades was insight into people's hearts, not to mention that Ethan didn't hide it at all.
"I need to deal with some minor troubles. ”
With the chores at hand being dealt with, including the arrangements of a few little girls, the return of Mordred, and the fact that Ida has retrieved all kinds of information from the Endless, even the transformation of the Kingdom of God has entered a stable stage, and it is time for him to carry out his infiltration operation.
"One of the main gods provoked me a little earlier, and I'm going to check the situation and find out what this guy is all about. ”
"You're going to go by yourself?"
Ethan nodded, it was not appropriate to sneak into battle with a large group of people. However, it would be inaccurate to say that he was going on his own, because he could 'summon' a whole bunch of helpers at any time if necessary.
