Chapter 21: One Against Two (I)
Mordred is one of the main culprits in the demise of Ancient Britain, and she was created by Morgan after she secretly obtained Artoria's sperm after using magic to temporarily change her gender. However, in terms of blood ties, she is indeed Artoria's descendant.
For all this, Artoria was unaware of it beforehand. Even if she later found out, for this daughter who shouldn't have spoken out, her heart was extremely repulsive, or at a loss. If Artoria could be given a little time, maybe she would be able to figure out a suitable way to get along with Mordred.
But Mordred didn't give Artoria this chance, and after being rejected, Mordred, who originally admired Artoria immensely, turned from love to hate, how much he longed for it before, and how angry he was at that time. Coupled with a Morgan at her side, Mordred finally made a rebellious decision to rebel against Artoria.
Finally, one day, Mordred's chance came, Artoria was going on an expedition to Rome, and she was in charge of staying behind in the city of Carmelo. So, Mordred took advantage of this opportunity to spread the news that Artoria had been killed in battle, and then forcibly seized the throne.
When Artoria got the news and rushed back with her troops, Mordred was already the new king and had many followers around her.
This is already Chiguoguo's betrayal, and no matter how generous Artoria is, she will never be able to bear it. Thus, a bloody war began.
In the final battle, Artoria and Mordred fought a decisive battle in the Camran Hill, and although Artoria successfully killed Mordred, she herself suffered a fatal blow and died.
Because this civil war consumed too much vitality of ancient Britain, and the fall of the king, the hearts of the people were in turmoil, and several surrounding countries took advantage of the situation to attack ancient Britain, so that this once illustrious kingdom was destroyed.
When Artoria heard the news when she was dying, she couldn't help but blame herself for all the faults, and she couldn't help but think that if the person who pulled out the sword in the stone and sat on the throne was not herself, but someone else, then all this would not have happened, and would Ancient Britain be saved?
It was at this time that Gaia approached Artoria and signed a contract with her to make her a special Heroic Spirit. Although she is not dead, her body will remain in a state of checkmate until Artoria completes the contract, and she will be freed.
Therefore, the relationship between Mordred and Artoria is definitely an endless relationship, which can be seen from the fact that Mordred's job agent is Avenger, and she is obviously here to take revenge on Artoria.
"You have the breath of that man, King Arthur of ancient Britain, where is she?"
Mordred's voice sounds neutral, making it impossible to tell whether it's a man or a woman, presumably related to her Noble Phantasm [Helmet of Hidden Infidelity].
The helmet was given by Morgan along with the phrase "never take it off", and it has the function of hiding some information. While it is not possible to hide general-purpose information such as stats and rank skills, it is possible to hide important parts such as real names, noble vehicles, and inherent skills. However, when wearing a helmet, Mordred cannot unleash the full power of another Noble Phantasm, which is also a big drawback.
"You're really here to trouble Leah, and in that case, it's impossible for me to tell you."
Since Zhou Xiaoning guessed that the heroic spirit in front of her who was Avenger was Mordred, it was naturally impossible for her to meet Artoria like this, otherwise it would not be like Halley's Comet hitting the earth, it was not a joke.
"Leah? It's really kind, what is your relationship with her? ”
Mordred's tone sounded a little sour, but in fact, she was also a very contradictory person, hating Artoria at the same time, but also longing for "fatherly love" and recognition from her, she was a bear child with a father-love complex. The reason why she betrayed Artoria in the first place was not so much because of ambition, but because she wanted to get Artoria to pay enough attention, just like a child deliberately made some pranks in order to attract the attention of others.
"Hmm...... What's the relationship, it's really hard to say. ”
Zhou Xiaoning rubbed his chin, he was indeed quite entangled, he still did not give up on Artoria, once they became in the future, Mordred would be his stepdaughter. But in Mordred's eyes, Artoria was her father, and what was he then, mother? He's a good man, isn't he?
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, as long as she kills you, she will definitely take a photo."
I have to say that Mordred really knows Artoria, if something really happens to Zhou Xiaoning, Artoria will definitely come back to avenge him. But there is a premise for all this, that is, Mordred can really kill Zhou Xiaoning.
Not long after Mordred was summoned, Irina didn't expect Zhou Xiaoning to come to the door so quickly, because she didn't tell her about Zhou Xiaoning's strength at all. Therefore, when Mordred's sudden sword was easily dodged by Zhou Xiaoning, Mordred's face was suddenly full of surprise.
"It seems that your master didn't tell you anything, if you want to kill me, at least give me all your strength!"
Zhou Xiaoning mercilessly threw a backhand punch, and if a strong punch fell on Mordred, even if she was a heroic spirit, she would not want to recover her combat strength in a short time.
Mordred's ability can be said to be a copy of Artoria, Artoria has amazing intuition, and Mordred also has it, although she can't almost predict the future like Artoria, but it is enough to help her dodge Zhou Xiaoning's punch.
I saw Mordred take the long sword in her hand and take Zhou Xiaoning's attack dangerously, but she herself was knocked out because of her huge fist, knocked out a big hole in the outer wall of the castle, and disappeared into the dark castle.
"Berserker, stop him!"
Irina gave Hercules an order to attack, and her contractual connection with Mordred has not been severed, and the spell has not disappeared, which means that Mordred is fine, as long as Hercules blocks Zhou Xiaoning for a while, and when Mordred comes back and the two join forces, she doesn't believe that she can't kill a Zhou Xiaoning.
"Roar!"
Hercules had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and now he finally waited for Irina's order and immediately launched an attack on Zhou Xiaoning.
