Stray Chapter 78: Predator Rangers (not
What is this...
Inexplicably, you like to be a father? Just one more daughter?
Xia Ran's mind was in a mess, he looked at the small face that was close at hand, and Artoria seemed to be even more angry than himself.
and Mordred next to her. After she shouted with the courage of her life just now, she just lowered her head and said nothing. Her ears were red and transparent, and there seemed to be a faint trace of it. Visible heat rose from the blond hair above her head.
It is an obvious fact that the scene just now affected far more than Xia Ran's own heart.
He rubbed his brows with a headache, but after all, he was able to compare with an extraordinary person with far-reaching ambition, and he quickly calmed down and regained his calm mood. After all, as Artoria said, escaping can't solve the problem, it's better to face the reality.
"Forget it, let's talk about what's going on...why is it like this?"
didn't try to break free from Arturia's hand, he sat back again and exhaled forcefully.
is still a little careless. If I knew it would develop to this level, I should pay close attention to it, instead of thinking that I just need to watch Arturia's jokes. .
"Why did it become like this?" The blond and blue-eyed Knight King stared at him resentfully and repeated the question. "Why do you think it has become like this? If you want to recognize her identity and inheritance rights, you must at least pay attention to a justifiable name and be recognized by the subjects!"
"Of course I know this, but...why does it involve me?" Xia Ran looked stunned.
The feudal era was naturally orthodox, and there was no way out.
Even if it can vigorously promote the crazy development of technology and productivity, it is difficult for things such as concepts and traditions to change by leaps and bounds in a short period of time. It often takes a long time, even after a generation. Generational change.
Even if you actively promote some advanced concepts from more than 1,500 years later, people in this era will not understand at all. If you push it forcibly, it will only have the opposite effect... After all, some things still need to be pushed forward step by step. , can not expect to eat a fat man.
This world, this era, after all, not long ago, chivalry was still the mainstream universal value, and the feudal concept and system were far from being eliminated? Its positive significance is still greater than it is disadvantages.
The same is true of the public's concept? It still attaches great importance to the legitimacy of orthodox status and birth. Since it is to recognize Mordred's inheritance? Then endorsement of her birth is also necessary.
Even Artoria, the former king of knights? Although she drew the sword of the king, and thus ascended the throne. But before that? Merlin's prophecy has been building momentum for her for more than ten years. "The successor of King Uther has been chosen, and this person is the next king."
That is to say? She is also the successor of King Uther?
"Apart from you, what other choices can I have? Anyway, I don't want to publicly declare that she is my and my sister's child? And the people will definitely not recognize it..."
Artoria's efforts to calm down? Seriously said: "And the legend of King Arthur has ended, the past is gone! I talked to Gao Wenqing and the others, and they all agreed that we, the undead of the old era, had the influence of force, should not appear in this new world..."
"Break and then stand?" Xia Ran expressed understanding, but still rubbed his eyebrows lightly with a headache.
There are indeed a lot of messes left by King Arthur's time? Many people today are people from that era. They don't know how bad the old days were? It's because the times are changing, and the whole human world is reasons for the exclusion of Britain.
years of murderous work...
The land can't grow food...
It never seems to get better no matter how patient you are...
This is because the rules of the original world are changing? They are targeting and destroying the remnants who have been living in the mystery and magic left over from the Age of Gods.
They just thought that the original knight king was fighting hard and fighting for years? They didn't give them a chance to cultivate and rejuvenate. There are many people who feel that they can't bear it any longer? Will they stand up to resist the king of knights? That's why the kingdom will break up, it will be civil war, and it will finally usher in its demise...
is also because I know that there are many people who don't know anything at all, but are already disappointed with the results of their past rule, and even hold resentment.
In addition to some other reasons, after comprehensive consideration, Arturia will accept the Master's kind proposal and re-enter the British stage as the "Lion King".
At best, she used the holy spear Lungomiad to publicize it, saying that she took over the holy spear, was recognized, and inherited the orthodoxy of King Arthur.
"It can be said that, anyway, I don't want to cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. There is no benefit to doing this now. We are not just starting out, and we no longer need to rely on the orthodox name to attract The people are gone, and doing this now will easily involve a lot of trouble and affect the stability of the kingdom..."
Artoria said a little irritably: "And obviously there was no news before, but now a king's son has appeared inexplicably, and the people will definitely be suspicious. If you want to give a For a more convincing explanation, there is no other way but you..."
There is really no other way, so it's impossible to push it on others.
Not to mention the question of whether it can be convincing, the girl just didn't think about the possibility of others, and she was rejecting this kind of thing from the bottom of her heart.
"I..." The magician couldn't help but opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
He looked at Artoria who was irritated, and then looked at Mordred, who had been pretending to be an ostrich all the time, wondering if it was Mordred, whose brain was overloaded and could no longer think. He leaned on the table, tilted his head with his chin up, and started to think.
But after a while, he finally put down his arms and let out a long breath, his expression seemed to be calm and accepting the reality.
"Forget it, so be it, it's not a big deal anyway..."
“…”
“…”
"Huh?" Artoria uttered a surprised syllable and looked up at the magician in amazement. She felt that at least she had to spend some words.
"Although it is indeed a bit inexplicable, but making such a decision, you must be very entangled, and it is very difficult to make up your mind?"
Xia Ran said this, while nodding to himself. He didn't believe that Arturia was not at all strange. He even admitted that Mordred was her child before. , there is no room for negotiation at all, just mentioning it a little is like a cat being trampled on its tail.
And after calming down and thinking about it, he found that this incident was mainly a huge shock when he was completely unprepared at the beginning.
In addition, it seems that there is no other impact.
"If you think about it, it's actually like that. It's not true anyway, it's just a statement to the outside world... Well, there's no problem at all." He continued to nod his head vigorously, seemingly trying to increase persuasion in this way feeling of power.
“…”
“…”
"So if it's true... do you dislike it?" Arturia asked coldly.
Is her focus not quite right? Obviously she has already figured it out completely, why does it seem like she is still very annoyed?
"...No, it's just that it's not realistic at all." Xia Ran was silent for a while, and then defended wisely, "I'm not at all prepared for the sudden addition of a daughter. If you can really accept it for granted, you certainly wouldn't believe it, would you?"
"Hmph, in a word, Master, you are too sensitive, it's good to get used to this kind of thing..."
Artoria is still very dissatisfied. After all, it's all something this guy has tossed about himself, how can he be left alone? Of course, you have to share weal and woe with yourself!
She grabbed the cutlery on the table next to her angrily again, only to realize that she had already bent it before. Just at this time, the silver-haired and red-eyed puppet lady came up, and after placing the breakfast lightly in front of Xia Ran, handed her the new tableware.
"Good morning, Miss Skaha, do you need anything?" The head maid turned to look at the Queen of the Land of Shadows and asked calmly and politely.
"Then please give me one too, thank you." The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, who was watching the good show with great interest, came back to her senses, nodded, and thanked her, then walked over politely, Directly opposite Xia Ran, Mordred sat down beside him.
Mordred didn't respond at all. I don't know if it was because of the previous experience of fighting side by side and sharing life and death that made her establish a friendship with Skaha, or if she really has a brain shutdown now.
“…”
“…”
The atmosphere became a little bit silent, and the air seemed to freeze more or less.
The magician is like the previous Arturia, with a subtle expression on his face, holding a spoon and stirring the porridge in the bowl.
was probably to change the topic and ease the stagnant atmosphere. After a while, he slowly raised his head and said to Skaha, who was facing him: "Don't waste time, Miss Skaha, I will not accept any kind of challenge from you..."
The topic was shifted so bluntly that no one said anything, so Artoria raised her eyebrows.
"Well, why not accept it?"
The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows was not angry, but asked calmly.
"Because it's not necessary, and you're not a challenge at all, you just came to beg for death..." Xia Ran sighed, perhaps for Skaha, the real death is the salvation instead, But this was none of his business, and he didn't need to keep his thoughts out of his mind.
"Begging for death?"
Artoria was slightly taken aback, what's going on? She didn't know this at all, she just felt that this woman was a typical Celtic warrior, for honor or dignity, so she dared to stay alone to challenge her master.
Although they don't have any common language with each other, they didn't know each other in the past, and they don't have any friendship now, but she still admires this legend... But now, it seems that she is self-indulgent?
"You... how do you know? You read my mind?" Skaha's expression instantly stiffened.
This person has the ability to read minds, and she will not be surprised at all, because she can do it herself, and does not even need the assistance of other spells. It's time to predict the future or read minds.
But it is the same thing, she feels that even if she is not an opponent at all, she will not be crushed to such an extent. It should still be possible to resist the opponent's spiritual power, and she can fight for at least a period of time. , gestures and gestures...
If is not good enough, even if she is instantly defeated and instantly killed, at least she should be able to "perceive" the occurrence of this battle, right?
But isn't this situation too magical now, she didn't even notice anything, and the other party captured the deepest secret hidden in her heart? Although it was true that he came with the idea of begging for death, for a moment, Skaha still felt a shudder, a sense of fear that his hair was standing on end.
"I always abide by other people's privacy and never do such a thing. I just have my own information channel..."
Xia Ran said calmly, and then greeted two contemptuous glances at the same time.
The truth of course belongs to Arturia, she knows her master well, and of course she doesn't believe this kind of unreliable statement. The other is that of Skaha, the queen who, after inevitable consternation at first, immediately becomes relieved.
Just read her mind, anyway, there are no invisible, embarrassing secrets hidden in her heart... It's just that this person dares to do it and does not recognize it, it is really unbearable.
Is there any information channel for , did he enter the card pool or something? If it wasn't for reading his mind, how could he know such a secret?
"If you don't believe it, don't believe it, anyway, I'm always misunderstood..." The magician didn't care, "But in your situation, I can understand to some extent, that is, I feel that I have seen through everything in the world. It's been boring for so long, isn't it?"
"If you know that, why can't you be kind to me?"
Skaha didn't deny it, just stared at him disapprovingly.
"There's no need for that. Your situation is purely incomparable to others. You're just trapped in this world, standing at a height near the top. But there's no way to make changes, you're bored, and you're not I would like to find some new things to encounter and see other scenery..."
Xia Ran still categorically refused.
"Aren't you trying to trick me into going to Chaldea to help Lixiang again?" Skaha looked suspicious, "It's really strange, why you, a person from another world, are so concerned about human principles? ?"
"I'm just giving advice kindly. If you really don't want to go, I won't force you, but this is what you asked for..." The magician blinked, "Do you think my current What is the state of mind, because I keep traveling between different worlds."
"...The reason why living water is immortal?" The Queen of Shadow Kingdom was dubious, but she was inclined to believe in her heart.
This person's mentality is really too young, not like his frozen heart.
She also absolutely does not believe that this person is only seventeen years old, and maybe even under a thousand years old is underestimated. This kind of existence is absolutely fantastic in the world view of the age of God, and the time scale of thousands of years is really possible. one?
So the only explanation...seems to be true?
"That's right, if you think that parallel worlds are still pretty much the same, then just... leave this world completely and go to a completely different world, how about this?" Xia Ran nodded lightly, An idea came to my mind.
His second magic seems to accompany his current height, and has a new level of improvement and understanding, vaguely seems to have entered an incredible field, no longer limited to the current whole world as a reference point, covering The multiple space-time lines that unfolded in this way.
began to radiate towards the outer realm outside the world...
It is definitely too early to say that it affects the infinite dimension, but he is sure that he has detected the existence of other dimensions in the void sea.
The inner universe world within oneself can also develop slowly, but is there a faster way than directly swallowing other worlds and unfolding the existing phenomena directly inside oneself? Let those worlds move to a new location and settle down in a different place, and you can directly increase your strength...
The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows was a little stunned.
She didn't know that she had no love for life and wanted to die. She was chosen by the magician in front of her as his forward sentinel who crossed the universe and preyed on dimensions, but was very surprised by what he said.
leave this world completely... Is this really possible?
