Chapter 116: The Legend of King Arthur (9)
Regarding the Red Dragon's entry into the British Palace, Nightstar did not ask Artoria to explain anything, but only sent the Knights of the Round Table who witnessed the "Three Heroes vs. Dragons" drama to scatter to explain to the people on the grounds of appeasing the people.
The Knights of the Round Table's worship of Artoria had risen to the level of a god, and when they returned to the palace, they dispersed and briefly recounted the earth-shattering battle in villages, towns, and other places where it was possible to witness the Red Dragon's figure. Of course, there were also many curious people who came to the scene of the incident as described by the knights in order to confirm whether it was true.
The dead villagers have been buried by the knights, but the devastation of the battle cannot be erased.
After those do-gooders saw the miserable land, combined with the narration of the knights, they made up the whole process of King Arthur's subduing the evil dragon by themselves, and shared their discoveries with their relatives and friends when they returned.
In this way, it is passed on ten, ten by hundred, and there is evidence to be checked.
As a result, the story of King Arthur's subjugation of the evil dragon became more and more exaggerated, and even Artoria gradually worshipped the goddess who was reincarnated as a human in order to save Britain.
People are terrible, when everyone says that King Arthur is the reincarnation of a goddess, she is not the same.
Hearing the rumors that were getting louder and louder outside, Artoria looked at Nightstar and asked, "This should have been designed by you, right?" β
Artoria wanted to explain this ridiculous rumor, because it was not in line with her chivalry, but after many years of spending time with Night Star, her mind was brighter, at least not as dull as before.
"I didn't do anything but let the Knights of the Round Table calm the restless hearts. Who told you to return to the palace that day with such a high profile? β
Seeing that Nightstar had actually shirked everything, Artoria was angry and amused.
"You made me do that! Say something to let me show the majesty of the king. In order to deter the villain who secretly wants to rebel, how can I listen to you say this. It's like it's all my fault! β
Nightstar didn't explain, just rolled his eyes, as if to say, "It's your fault."
Artoria thought about it, indeed. In the final analysis, if it weren't for himself, he wouldn't have come to this world, let alone done these things. At the end of the day, he did so much for himself. So what reason and right do you have to blame him?
Think again. Yetianxing has no regrets and does his best to help himself so much, and there is no way to repay his great kindness, do you really want to make a promise?
Whenever she thought of this, Artoria's face flushed again.
It's just that Night Sky Star didn't know that his casual words had made this meticulous king entangled until now, and Artoria didn't know that Night Sky Star had long forgotten that sentence.
The purpose of coming to this world has been accomplished for the most part, and there are only two things left to deal with.
One: about King Arthur's "illegitimate son";
Second: the threat of the Roman Empire.
Since Artoria no longer concealed her daughter's identity under the mention of the night star, there was no such thing as marrying the princess, which fundamentally put an end to the occurrence of Lancelot and Gnavier's inappropriate love. The Knights of the Round Table did not split either. With the help of the impact of this incident, the true identity of King Yusher's daughter was announced in time, and her roots were red and her bloodline was noble, which also indirectly made her position as the king more stable.
The southern conquest and the northern war unified the British Isles in the shortest possible time, leaving aside for the time being. The battle with King Bellinor completely untied the knot, and fully obtained the approval of the Sword in the Stone was more meaningful to Artoria.
With the help of the magician Merlin, finding the scabbard and fusing the two holy swords can only be considered a surprise. On the contrary, the evil dragon that was slain by Lancelot with the "indestructible lake" in history was subdued, and the impact was far greater than Artoria imagined.
Artoria loved her people. but they do not know the power of their people.
She is difficult to understand and is just an exaggerated legend. It seems to be a satire of her previous efforts to bring unprecedented unity and unity to a country. But I don't know that if it weren't for the fact that she had reached a peak of her people's worship of her, then no matter how exaggerated the deeds of subduing the evil dragon, would never have achieved such an effect. The Night Star just adds a little fire, maximizing the benefits from the perspective of a bystander.
"By the way, Lily, I recently heard that there is a new knight with strong martial arts and great strength, but he wears a helmet all day long so that people can't see his appearance, and he refuses to show his appearance, right?"
"Shouldn't you know more about the Knights of the Round Table than I do?"
After a pause, Artoria asked rhetorically.
Instead of answering directly, Nightstar continued, "I heard that you fought with that knight and split her helmet, so you should see her true colors, right?" β
Noticing that Nightstar's address to the mysterious knight had changed from "he" to "she", Artoria bowed her head in a decadent manner.
"Why are you asking me when you know everything?"
"I just don't want to see you run away."
"Escape hehe, then you sue me, how should I face her? Because she betrayed once in my memory, did I kill her before she betrayed?! β
Night Star flicked his finger on her forehead, "Is this the only way you can think of in your head?" β
Ignoring Artoria, who was holding her forehead and looking at her resentfully, Nightstar helplessly held her forehead, "Really, it's my fault that I expect your dull brain to come up with a good solution." I say, Lily, haven't you thought of acknowledging her identity and giving her the place she deserves? β
"What?"
Hearing Nightstar's words, Artoria was furious, "I thought you had any other good idea, is this asking me to compromise?!" β
Syllable!
Another flick made Artoria's forehead red.
"What are you doing?!"
Artoria grumbled loudly.
Night Sky Star plucked his ears with his fingers, "I said, Lily, the grievances of the previous generation should not harm the next generation. Regardless of the purpose of the previous generation, at least the next generation is innocent. Besides, that child does have your veins in his veins. β
That's right, what Nightstar and Artoria are talking about is the "bastard" Mordred, who is also the best knight who became the captain of the Knights of the Twelve Round Table as quickly as possible.
Mordred, the historical "rebel knight", is more appropriately a replica than Artoria's "bastard".
She is an artificial human born from Artoria's half-sister Morgan LefitunguΓ² who collects Artoria's wounded blood on the battlefield and uses magic.
If that were all there was to it, Artoria would not have objected to Mordred so much, and the most important thing was that Morgan Le Fay had cultivated an embryo made of Artoria's blood in his own ovaries, which was more repugnant than forbidden love. After knowing this, how did Artoria accept Mordred?
So, Artoria didn't accept the "Mordred" option from the beginning.
As for why Morgan Le Fay did this? The reason is simple, if Artoria is really a man, she will admit it, after all, this era is still dominated by men. If Artoria had exposed her identity as a woman from the beginning, she might have to go through some twists and turns if she wanted to become a king. However, Artoria voluntarily exposed her female identity after securing the throne, which made Morgan Lefey, the eldest daughter of King Uther, have to hate her.
Why can't she, as the eldest daughter, inherit the throne, but Artoria, the second daughter, can?
Women's jealousy is unreasonable, especially a cautious woman like Morgan Le Fay. In her eyes, there is no national society, and there is only a narrow mind like "what I can't get, even if it is destroyed, others can't get it".
Yes, that's right, Morgan Le Fay never thought she could replace Artoria as Queen of Britain from the beginning. Especially when Artoria succeeded to the throne, the more dazzling she became, the less likely she became.
At the same time, the brighter Artoria's body shines, the more jealous she becomes, and her heart is as painful as being bitten by a poisonous snake. Only by ruining Artoria's qiΔ can she be redeemed.
Mordred was a pawn she had buried beside Artoria, a pawn that she didn't have to worry about getting rid of, even if it was placed on the surface.
From the side, Morgan Le Fay is also very familiar with the character of his sister Artoria.
But now that there is a night star who is not bound by the ideas of this era, can her plan still succeed?
Artoria only knew that Mordred was Morgan Le Fay's pawn against her, but ignored Mordred's thoughts.
"As my son, you are eligible to inherit the throne. Now he hides his identity for the time being and serves the king. And then - on the day Arthur falls, you will be king. β
Even with her mother's obsession, Mordret's vision of King Arthur went far beyond that ambition.
Because it is a "clone", Mordrete grows much faster than a natural person, and its life cycle is correspondingly short.
Being ashamed of his abnormal origins makes him unconsciously jealous of the people around him. Even though he is an adult, he still worships the "flawless" King Arthur with the innocence of a child.
Isolated from the crowd due to her hatred of humans, Mordret follows the chivalric path depicted in the novel, and strives to train herself in order to become a truly noble knight.
A masked swordsman who joined the Knights of the Round Table on the recommendation of Morgan Le Fay and became one of the Knights of the Round Table for his outstanding sword skills. Although of unknown origin, she was still given a sword, and because of her outstanding ability and the spirit of chivalry in her body, she was able to become one of the twelve captains of the Knights of the Round Table in the shortest possible time.
