502 Persona Belts
As far as objective facts are concerned, Morgan, Gawain, Lancelot, and Tristan are undoubtedly enemies of Rige and Artoria.
Even if Artoria doesn't follow the path of the savior, doesn't save the fairy country, and saves Britain, she can't avoid being regarded as an opponent and an enemy by the queen's faction.
The same is true for Rige, who has long been related to Morgan and others, and has experienced several conflicts and wars before and after, so it can be said that they are opposed to each other.
But in such a situation, Li Ge felt that these enemies were actually much better than other goblins.
Although Morgan is a terrifying dictator, cold and cruel, and regards the life of the goblins in the goblin kingdom as a mustard, she somehow attaches great importance to Rige, and does not hesitate to give him protection and plant a "pile" for him.
Although Gawain fought twice with Rieg to the point of death, she was a highly qualified lord, extremely considerate of her allies, and only ruthless to her enemies.
Although Lancelot is very cold and proud, there is no lack of naΓ―ve and innocent side to her character, and at least so far she is upright and unconspiracy towards Rige, which makes people hate.
Even Tristan, a brutal fairy knight, has a pitiful past that has become what it is now.
Compared to these enemies, the elves who appear to be friendly with Rig and Artoria may be the real evil.
For example, the goblins in the village of Tintajel, who raised Artoria, should theoretically be Artoria's closest people, but there is no need to say much about their true faces.
The same is true of those goblins who are looking forward to the appearance of the Prophecy Child, the appearance of the Savior, and the hope of being redeemed, saying that they welcome the Prophecy Child, saying that they are righteous and awe-inspiring, but in fact no one knows what they think in their hearts.
Goblins are not worth saving, that's what Rieg has always had.
But those goblins who have become enemies have a beautiful side that is different from other goblins, which is indeed quite ironic.
"That ......"
Artoria somewhat understood Rige's thoughts, and although she was in a complicated mood, she still asked out loud.
"How are we going to deal with Aurora?"
To Artoria's question, Rige answered without hesitation.
"Regardless of whether she is a trustworthy person or not, she wants to overthrow Morgan's rule, this should be true, right?"
Hearing this, Artoria nodded without hesitation.
"That's true." Artoria said, "She does want to overthrow Morgan's rule, and she is not lying in this matter. β
Because of this, when Aurora appeared in front of her and threatened to help her rescue Rige, Artoria agreed without much hesitation.
Even if Aurora still hides some thoughts, as long as her real purpose is to overthrow the queen's rule, then, in the matter of rescuing the "Prophecy Child", the other party will not hide it, and will definitely help, or make great efforts.
That's why Artoria accepted Aurora's help.
"Since this is true, let's leave her alone for the time being." As he walked on, Rige said to Artoria, "She shouldn't be able to disadvantage us until she achieves her goal." β
"So, let's take a rest first, and if necessary, it's not that we can't accept her assistance."
"Not to mention anything else, the Wind Clan's eyes and ears are still quite useful, and with them, we don't at least don't have to worry about insufficient intelligence."
That being said, Riger's tone sounded distinctly dispensable.
And rightfully so?
"She misunderstood who we were, and misunderstood what we were for, that we were trying to ring the bell of the Six Pilgrimage and then overthrow Morgan."
"As everyone knows, I ...... Or maybe you, you don't plan to completely rebel against Morgan to the end. β
"We can take advantage of this information gap."
Aurora thinks that Rige and Artoria are going to fight Morgan and overthrow Morgan's rule, but she doesn't know that this premise is completely wrong.
Rieger and Artoria never thought about overthrowing Morgan's rule.
So, when Aurora thought the two would act on it, no matter what she was calculating, there would be a deviation.
Rige and Artoria have the right to say no at any time, and that's where the biggest advantage lies.
While Rige said this, Artoria focused on something else.
"Is the identity really wrong?" Artoria carefully observed Rig and said, "You're really not a foreign magician? β
"It's not." Rige rolled his eyes and said, "I can probably guess what you think, but I have to tell you that there is someone else in your mouth referring to a foreign magician. β
"Who is it?" Artoria came to her senses, and even said, "Does it have anything to do with the pan-human history that Morgan and Aurora mentioned?" β
Suddenly, Rieg stopped.
Artoria quickly stopped.
"You've noticed this, huh?" Rig turned around, looked at Artoria, and said with some admiration, "Sure enough, you seem to be smarter than anyone thinks." β
β¦β¦ It means that I usually look stupid, right?
Artoria resisted the urge to knock Rige on the skull with the staff of choice.
"What is that pan-human history?"
Artoria glared at Rig and asked.
To this, Rieger gave this answer.
"In a word, it is another world that is different from this world."
In a light-hearted manner, Rig uttered something that shocked Artoria.
"The other one...... World......? β
Artoria's mouth opened wide in surprise.
"That's right."
Rig nodded.
At first glance, this world seems to be no different from the other worlds that Rigg has been to, but it is not.
This world is far more special than the ones Rieg has ever visited.
The fairy country of Britain, where Rig is now located, is not the whole of this world, but just one of the special places under the incomparably grand worldview of this world.
And to explain all this, the first thing to explain is the meaning of the term "pan-human history".
The so-called pan-human history refers to the correct history.
In this world, the history of human beings is not static, but like the competition in life, the survival of the fittest in nature, there are advantages and disadvantages, success and failure.
This so-called distinction between good and bad and success and failure is to see whether a piece of history can continue.
If a piece of history can continue in the process of development and will not be suddenly cut off or destroyed at a certain moment, then this history is the correct history.
On the other hand, if a history gradually goes in the wrong direction in the process of development, which will eventually lead to the extinction of this history, then this history is a wrong history.
The former is the so-called pan-human history, which is correct history and correct human reason.
The latter is the unwanted things caused by the wrong choices at the fork in the development of history, and it is the history of mankind that will come to an end sooner or later, and is called the βββ "Persona Belt".
Persona Belts are usually cut off by the world itself, so it is a doomed world that is not even allowed to develop into a parallel world.
And the fairy country of Britain is a world with a different development trajectory from pan-human history, and eventually evolved into a Persona belt.
"In pan-human history, that is, in the correct history of mankind, Britain is real, but it is not a country dominated by goblins."
Rig told Artoria about it.
"You and Morgan have actually appeared in Britain, but Morgan aside, you are a human in pan-human history, not a goblin from paradise."
Rieger was referring to the Arthurian legend.
It is a story centered on the legendary King Arthur of England, and it is a medieval legend.
The story follows the life of King Arthur, the legendary greatest and most legendary βββking of ancient Britain.
Legend has it that she was the leader of the Knights of the Round Table, an almost mythical legend known as the King of Ideals, the King of Knights, and the King of Eternity.
She once drew the sword of the chosen king, the sword in the stone, and became the king of Britain, and she also received a gift from the elves of the lake, obtained the holy sword forged in the sea within the stars, and experienced twelve battles in her life, each of which was almost miraculously victorious, thus stabilizing Britain at that time and in danger.
Her teacher was the legendary Great Magician Merlin.
The Knights of the Round Table she met were all famous heroes, each with a powerful extrahuman level.
Her sister is Morgan, who is jealous of Arthur as the king, believing that he is the rightful successor of Britain, so she secretly creates many troubles, and finally leads to the end of King Arthur, and the witch who makes Britain perish.
The legend was already popular in Wales in the 9th century AD, and later in Europe through the literature of Geoffrey of Monmouth, where the story of the Holy Grail was written by writers such as ChrΓ©tien de Troia, Vas, Lyamen, and Mallory, and it became popular again in the Victorian period.
This is Britain in pan-human history, Britain in correct history.
But the fairy country of Britain is the opposite of the world of Strange Stories, a deformed history of mistakes at the source, so that it has developed in other directions.
In this Britain, it is not humans who rule the country, but goblins.
In this world of Strange Things, there is no second country other than the island nation of Britain.
Morgan, a witch who has never been able to get the throne in pan-human history and went crazy, is the queen who has ruled the fairy kingdom for 2,000 years.
As for Gawain, Lancelot, and Tristan, these names were supposed to belong to the Knights of the Round Table in pan-human history who were loyal to King Arthur, but now they were given to the three goblin knights by Morgan, giving them the status and power of the Knights of the Round Table in pan-human history.
And Artoria, who is Morgan's blood relative in pan-human history, is known as Arthur's King of Britain.
Now, this knight king, who was supposed to leave an incomparably magnificent deeds and an incomparably loud reputation in the history of pan-humanity, has become a goblin from paradise in the fairy country of Britain, and even took on the identity of the son of prophecy, growing up in a country village that no one cares about, and only now has he appeared on the land of Britain, and has been given the mission of saving the goblin country and saving Britain.
"To you, that's probably a normal thing."
"But in the eyes of people in pan-human history, this is a strange history that has long been detached from correct history, and it is a strange development that does not even exist in wild history."
"So, Fairy Country Britain is not a normal country, a normal world, but a Persona belt that should have been cut off a long time ago."
γ
Rig turned to Artoria, word for word.
"The pan-human history that Morgan and Aurora refer to is such a world that is different from the world of hearsay, or rather, that world is the normal world."
The terms "outside world" and "alien" that have been mentioned several times before are actually referring to pan-human history.
Because there is only one country in this Strange World, only the Fairy Country Britain, and the place outside the Fairy Country Britain is a vast ocean, so there is no real foreign country here.
The foreign and external worlds referred to here usually refer to pan-human history.
"In other words, you are from that pan-human history?"
Artoria's eyes widened, and she looked at Rig in utter disbelief.
Rieger, however, shook his head.
"No, I'm not from pan-human history, but from another world that you can't imagine."
Rieg actually revealed all such things.
"Is there another world?"
Artoria's eyes widened, and she even felt a little dizzy.
Obviously, the amount of information she has received now is too much, which makes her feel that the three views have been seriously impacted.
To this, Rieger just wanted to say.
"Where is this?"
He said this very calmly and steadily.
"The world is far bigger, grander, more troublesome and more dangerous than you think."
"You'll know later that what you're telling you now is really just pediatrics."
"The more terrible and the more amazing things are to come."
Mother Yong doubted, Rieger's words made Artoria feel frightened.
She swallowed a mouthful of saliva secretly, only to feel as if she was walking on a tightrope, and below was a cliff, and if she accidentally took a wrong step, she would directly fall to pieces and die.
Originally...... Is the world so scary?
"Pan-human history...... King Arthur ......"
Artoria muttered involuntarily.
Suddenly, Artoria felt a dizziness in her head.
She felt as if she had seen someone.
It was a person who looked exactly like her, but gave a completely different impression.
Dressed in armor and armed with a holy sword, she stood on the city wall and stood in the wind, looking out at a sunset plain.
Her face was indistinguishable from Artoria's, but her expression was quite strong.
There was a will of steel in her eyes, as if she were looking at a great goal.
Looking at this person who was plausible to herself, Artoria inexplicably knew the other party's name.
"...... Artoria Pendragon"
She is none other than King Arthur in pan-human history.
"Hmm......"
Artoria's head suddenly became more dizzy, and her vision swirled.
The reason why Artoria didn't fall to the ground was because someone held her up.
"What's wrong with you?"
Rig watched as Artoria suddenly shook and almost fell to the ground, but quickly stepped forward and held her, crying out in surprise.
"I ......"
Artoria shook her head, and only after she felt that the dizziness had subsided considerably, did she make a somewhat uncomfortable sound.
"IβI seem to see another self, a self in armor and a sword."
Hearing this, Riege's eyes flickered.
In the original book, Artoria did dream of herself in pan-human history after ringing the first bell of the pilgrimage.
After that, every time she rang the bell of the pilgrimage, Artoria would dream of events, most of which were related to King Arthur in pan-human history.
Now, Artoria is a month late to produce this phenomenon, because before that, she did not know the existence of pan-human history, and did not know that there was another relationship of her own existence?
In the original book, Artoria met a foreign magician before ringing the first pilgrimage bell, and learned about the existence of pan-human history and the Persona Belt from the other party's mouth, so she dreamed of another self immediately after ringing the pilgrimage bell?
Thinking of this, Rig shook his head and temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his heart.
"Let's go back to our room and rest first." Seeing that Artoria was in a very bad state, Rige said, "Get a good night's sleep, maybe when you wake up, you will feel much more comfortable." β
Artoria was tempted to refuse.
There's still a lot she hasn't figured out.
For example, if Rig is not a foreign magician, who is a foreign magician?
Pan-human history man?
Will the other party come to the fairy country of Britain to help him?
Why? What is the purpose?
These are all things that Artoria wants to know.
Unfortunately, Rieger didn't give her a chance to refuse.
"Forget it, I'll watch you sleep."
Rig could see her resistance in Artoria's expression, and he said without question.
"When you wake up and want to know something, just ask."
With that, Rig picked up Artoria.
Moreover, this time it was a princess hug, which was completely different from the previous very casual hugs.
"Where's your room?"
Rig asked, looking down.
ββ¦β¦ Over there. β
Artoria was honest after being embraced, her pretty face flushed, and after a moment she pointed in one direction.
Without saying a word, Riege walked over there.
He didn't notice it at all, and in the corner, a figure was watching this side, and his eyes were full of deep thought.
