“————”

In the indescribable silence, the atmosphere of the scene changed slightly.

Not much has changed, but Oberon, who is in this atmosphere, knows that this is not a good atmosphere.

“…… What do you mean by that? ”

Artoria turned and looked at Oberon, the emotion in her eyes quite palpable.

That's displeasure.

That's unpleasant.

Although it was not yet to the point of anger, Oberon knew that Artoria had seen what he was trying to say.

She knew that what Oberon was going to say next was definitely not what she liked to hear.

And so it is.

"Although you don't like to listen to these words, and even think that I am deliberately provoking, if you can, I don't want to say these words when I first joined this group, so that you think I have ulterior motives, but there is no way, there may only be such a chance to talk about this matter when that person is not there."

Oberon seemed to be ready to be hated and even suspected by Artoria, and the helplessness on his face gradually converged, and he looked directly at the fairy girl.

"I don't know what you think of that guy, but in my opinion, there's no doubt that he's a suspicious person."

"He is not a child of prophecy, nor a goblin from Paradise."

"Nor is he a man of pan-human history, nor is he a traveler from a foreign country."

"Of course, he is also not from the Fairy Kingdom of Britain, and has nothing to do with this Persona Zone."

"In that case, who is he? Where did it come from? What is the purpose of coming to this fairy country of Britain? ”

Oberon has actually considered these questions more than once.

Although he had only met with Rigor and Artoria in the past few days, Oberon had already paid attention to Rig long before that.

After Salisbury's battle, Rieger's fame spread throughout the fairy kingdom of Britain, and everyone paid attention to him, and Oberon was no exception, and also paid attention to the so-called Prophecy Child, who could block Lancelot, Gawain, and Woodworth at the same time, and let Morgan leave the vital Jade Throne to appear in person and capture him.

Especially knowing that Rig is not the child of prophecy, it is impossible for Oberon not to have a doubt.

That is, who is this so-called prophetic son who made Morgan not hesitate to take action himself, and who could also make Lancelot, Gawain and Woodworth go home?

So, Oberon launched an investigation.

As a result of his investigation, Oberon had already confirmed that Rig was not a goblin from the Elven Kingdom of Britain.

In this case, Rieg could only have come from the outside world, which made Oberon wonder if Rig was a man who had drifted from the pan-human history.

Although the fairy country of Britain is a Persona Zone, it is the same history as the pan-human history that appeared on the earth, so sometimes some outside things drift from the other side of the sea for various reasons, including humans and goblins from other places.

Oberon suspected that Rige was such a person, and even doubted whether he was sent from the Chaldean side of pan-human history.

For this reason, Oberon launched another investigation, only to find that during the time that Rig appeared in the fairy country of Britain, there were no sightings or even signs of unidentified drifting objects on the coast around Britain.

In other words, it is very likely that Rieg did not randomly drift to the fairy country of Britain from the outside world, but had another way to enter this strange world.

This is a bit intriguing.

That is, he is not from the Fairy Country, let alone randomly drifted from the outside world, so how did Rig come to this Fairy Country Britain?

If he came here on purpose, not by chance, then what was his purpose?

Is it really a coincidence that he meets Artoria and pretends to be the Child of Prophecy?

Why did Morgan leave the vital Jade Throne for his sake and do not hesitate to take action himself?

Who the hell is he? Where did it come from?

All kinds of questions have not been solved until now.

Oberon, who found that his investigation could only end here, and that he would not make much progress if he continued, chose to meet directly with Rig and Artoria after they escaped from Camelot, and partnered with them.

Now, Oberon is also telling Artoria about the doubts in his heart, giving her a head start.

"From the current point of view, he knows a lot about the fairy country of Britain, and even knows a lot about you and Morgan, and even about me, he seems to know a little."

"Why is that?"

"It's not a goblin from the Fairy Country, and he's not a foreign traveler from pan-human history, how on earth does he know so many things?"

Oberon said this endlessly, as if he wanted to vent all the doubts in his heart.

"So, I think he's suspicious, not that he might be bad for us, it's just that we don't know where he came from, we don't know what he wants, and we really have to take a dike."

That's what Oberon wanted to say to Artoria.

He didn't expect much information about Rieg to get from Artoria.

It can be seen from Artoria's performance that although she inexplicably trusts and even relies on Rige, she also does not know much about Rige, and has shown surprise and surprise at the various methods and performances he has used more than once.

But when dealing with a figure of unknown origin, Oberon felt that Artoria still had to be on guard to a certain extent.

From his point of view, this was something that had to be done, and his suspicions were legitimate, after all, Rigg's origin was indeed mysterious and indeed suspicious.

However......

“…… If you want to say that, aren't you also suspicious, Oberon? ”

Artoria looked at Oberon like she was looking at a big liar.

No way.

"Although it seems that your position is indeed the same as ours, and what you say is basically not a lie, but you also don't tell the truth and hide a lot of things from us, don't you?"

Artoria's blunt accusation made Oberon look helpless again.

"This is your fairy eye, right?" Oberon scratched his head and said, "You are worthy of being a savior from Paradise, this kind of peculiarity that has disappeared in the fairy country of Britain, but you were born with it." ”

The fairy eye that can see through lies is not Artoria's exclusive ability.

In fact, in the beginning, all goblins had goblin eyes, able to see through other people's lies, and read the truth in other people's hearts.

The same is true of the elves of the Fairy Kingdom of Britain, at least the primordial six Yaling, who originally came to earth from the Sea of Stars, had fairy eyes.

But with the change of the times, the reproduction of the goblin country, I don't know when it began, the goblins in Britain began to lose their goblin eyes and became unable to distinguish the real from the fake.

Therefore, the elves can only distinguish between elves and humans by their magical powers, smells, and appearances, and if they still have elven eyes, Rig will not want to hide his human identity in front of them.

It is only a goblin like Artoria who was not born in the fairy country of Britain, but came here from paradise, that still has the lost eyes of the goblin of the fairy country.

This is also a testament to Artoria's qualities as a goblin.

Knowing this, Oberon never thought he could easily gain Artoria's trust.

As Artoria said, he didn't tell a lie in front of them, but he basically never told the truth.

In other words, the things he said must be true, but there are some truths that he did not choose to say.

For example, Oberon told Rige that he was not very good at fighting, and that it was best not to count on him.

It's true.

At least, in his current state, his combat ability is really dispensable.

But if he regains his true colors, that's a different story.

Oberon is like this, half-truths and half-concealments, which is why this strange state of basically not telling lies and basically not telling the truth.

This fell in Artoria's eyes, and it was naturally very suspicious.

"I don't deny it." Oberon made a gesture of surrender and said, "But it's not like I don't want to say it?" It's just that the time hasn't come yet, so I can't just say it. ”

This is also true.

But, again, Artoria thinks Oberon is a big liar.

There is no other reason than that, although they are all telling the truth, Rig has never thought of hiding it, unlike Oberon, who is secretive everywhere.

Rieger didn't explain where he came from, not because he didn't want to say it, not because he had some unavoidable reason, but because it was too troublesome to explain, he didn't want to say more.

Oberon, on the other hand, deliberately concealed something and deliberately told the half-truth.

The former is above board, and the latter is the one that really looks suspicious everywhere.

This is also the reason why Artoria prefers to take a defensive look at Rigg rather than Oberon, who is not lying.

In light of this, Artoria said so.

"Since you don't think the time has come to say anything, how do you know that Rig isn't like this?" Artoria retorted: "Maybe he also felt that the time had not come, didn't he deliberately hide it?" ”

“…… If that's what you say, then I don't have anything to say. Oberon sighed and said, "I'm just reminding you, just ask him casually to see how well you know him, nothing else, you should be able to see it, right?" ”

In front of the fairy eyes, Oberon's words were true or false, and they could be easily recognized.

It's a pity that Artoria has understood that telling the truth does not mean that it is not a lie.

Even if Oberon didn't mean anything else, it didn't mean anything.

Perhaps, he just wanted to see how well Artoria knew Rige before deciding what to do next?

Just because he doesn't mean anything else doesn't mean he doesn't want to do anything.

If it weren't for the fact that Oberon was a servant from pan-human history, an undoubted antithetical existence to Morgan, and the crisis of pan-human history that he had talked about before and wanting to assist them and become their partner, these things were genuine, and Artoria didn't even want to deal with him too much.

Artoria must be more fearful than those goblins who have one thing on the surface and one on the inside, but can be clearly seen through by themselves, like Oberon, who is the same on the outside and inside but is secretive and makes people unable to see their true meaning.

The world is nothing but a storm of malice in Artoria's eyes.

Rig is the sun that can illuminate himself and give him warmth in this storm.

Oberon, on the other hand, was like a shadow hidden behind the storm and the sun in Artoria's eyes, and she had no idea whether the shadow would cover the storm or the sun.

This made Artoria somewhat want to stay away from Oberon.

But Artoria, on the other hand, didn't want to go against Oberon.

If you want to say why......

"You, really not Merlin?"

After hesitating, Artoria finally asked the question.

At this, Oberon frowned.

"When you say Merlin, you should be referring to the legendary great magician who guided King Arthur and cultivated King Arthur into a talent, right?"

Oberon said so.

The Great Magician, Merlin.

This is also a character from the Arthurian legend.

Legend has it that he is a magician from Paradise and a dream demon who lives in an ideal country.

He was the teacher of King Arthur, and was the driving force behind the birth and growth of the young girl Artoria Pendragon, who eventually drew the sword of the king, and became the legendary king of Britain.

Some people see him as a sage.

Some people are the calamity to him.

But it is undeniable that he has always played a very important role in King Arthur's life, and without him, there would be no King Arthur in this world.

And the legendary King Arthur is Artoria's isotope in pan-human history.

Now, Artoria has repeatedly mentioned the name Merlin in front of Oberon, which is inevitably a little imaginative.

"Could it be that your magic was also taught to you? That guy is Merlin? Oberon said half-abruptly, half-smiling, "Unfortunately, as you can see, I'm not Merlin." ”

He's Oberon, and that's a fake.

Whether it is true or not, in the heart of Artoria, who has fairy eyes, there is naturally an answer.

“…… Then I'll treat you as if you're not Merlin. ”

Artoria lowered her eyes, as if she had confirmed something, and turned away.

"Wait! Help move people out! ”

Oberon glanced at the three people he had rescued lying on the beach, and hurriedly spoke to Artoria.

Artoria froze, then picked up the smallest, child-like figure and left the place.

“…… No way? The rest is mine? ”

Looking at the remaining two adult-sized people, Oberon showed a bitter expression.

"It seems that our son of prophecy also has a temper."

After saying that, Oberon could only grimace, picked up the remaining two, and walked outside.

"Buzz!"

Blanca followed Oberon's side, fluttering his wings and fluttering.

The line has been dismantled and everything is fine.

I'll resume the update tomorrow
