The conflict between history books and reality successfully aroused Altira's curiosity. She wanted to know more about "her own story". Shinji also wanted to know more about Altira, not the one in the game, the setting collection, or the text, but the real her.
With this foundation, the two of them no longer had any obstacles in their communication, and more and more explosive news came out during the communication:
"Historical records state that Attila's father was Munduk."
"That was the name of the Hun elder who adopted me."
"Are the heirs Ailaq, Dankzik, and Einek also descendants of the elder family?"
"Well, that should be it."
"should?"
"I don't remember any of these names."
"Huh? I'm a little confused. This is your heir."
"These matters are decided by the elders."
"So what do you do?"
"Fight. Destroy."
"You are the king..."
"... "
"What's wrong?"
"My Lord... a name I miss very much."
"Do you like this name?"
"Not annoying."
"That means I like you, sir. Hello, my king."
"Hmm..." His body trembled.
"What's wrong with you, my king?"
"Hmm..." The body trembled again.
"Your Majesty?"
"No, don't say anymore." Altira sat on the top of the temple with his knees hugged and his head buried between his thighs.
"All right, my king. No more words, my king."
"You, you still say that, you are really mean..."
The king is so cute!!!
...
"There are two versions of Attila's death in history books. The first is that he was killed in his sleep by his newlywed girl, Idiko."
"That's not the case." Altira shook his head. "I don't have the ability to sleep in the same sense as humans. Even in deep sleep, I won't lose consciousness. It's impossible to assassinate me."
"I think so."
Shinji was not surprised. Altira's performance as a weapon was almost perfect, and even if it was just a backup of intelligence, it still inherited this characteristic.
Besides, beauty trap? Not to mention that Altira is not interested in this. Altira's own beauty is of planetary level. If you use the beauty trap on her, you have to use a beauty of the same level, such as Elquet, that girl Idike - wouldn't you feel ashamed standing in front of Altira
"So, how did you die in the dream?"
"Death from natural causes."
"nature?"
"Well, because the main body is lost, the intelligence body has a time limit for its activities, and it will dissipate when the time is up."
Altira stated this fact calmly, and only at this time could some of the style of "Whip of God" be seen.
"Then you didn't defeat the Western Roman Empire in one go because you didn't have enough time?"
"yes."
In 452 AD, Altila marched westwards to the banks of the Po River, which frightened the Western Roman Empire. Emperor Valentinian III abandoned the capital and fled in panic. However, at this critical moment when the Western Roman Empire was about to be destroyed, Attila suddenly led his army to retreat, leaving another unsolved mystery for future generations.
Later scholars have given various explanations for this, but no one thought the reason was so simple.
"I see. Do you want to hear the second version of Attila's death?"
"Listen, listen." Even if it was fake, she was still interested.
"The second possibility is that the person died of suffocation due to excessive drinking and rupture of blood vessels in the nasal cavity during a hangover, which caused blood to flow back and cause death - this is also impossible."
"Yes, my body is special, no matter how much I drink, it will not have any adverse effects."
Shinji raised his head and looked Altira up and down.
There is a physique in this world that countless foodies envy - no matter how much you eat, you won't gain weight, and Altira is the ultimate version of this physique - "natural body". It is a body that is born with and has a complete body for a living being. Although it looks very slender, it has more strength than a strongman with muscles all over his body. No matter how much he eats and drinks, his body shape will not change. It all comes from this.
"Well, please stop staring at me..."
Shy.
The king is so cute!!!
...
"By the way, Altira, do you know Siegfried?"
"Siegfried, huh? That name sounds familiar, I think I've heard of it before."
"Do you know Kriemhild?"
"Yes, that's my wife in the dream."
"Sure enough... Well, I won't ask how you two women got married - Kriemshid was Siegfried's wife before she married you."
"I seem to have heard her say that she married me to avenge her husband. Is that Mr. Siegfried?"
"Yes, if you are interested, I can tell you the story of Siegfried. Not only the legendary story, but also a completely new story that has never been recorded."
"Okay, I want to hear it."
"Then let's start from the beginning - there was a man, he was an invincible knight, he was a noble warrior, he was a great hero, he was the prince of the Netherlands..."
Altira's eyes sparkled, like a child listening to his parents telling stories before going to bed.
The king is so cute!!!
...
With Siegfried as the topic, the topic between the two began to spread from Altira itself to the surrounding areas, and Shinji also had room to use the knowledge he gained from Scathach and the Holy Grail.
In Altira's words, Shinji is better than all the Hun elders combined. This is understandable. Isn't it shameful for a modern person to be inferior to the ancients in the fifth century AD in knowledge
As time passed by in their communication, Altira got used to Shinji's presence, and Shinji also got used to chatting with Altira every day, and their relationship was upgraded from acquaintances to friends.
Just like that a month passed.
"You, you're not coming tomorrow?"
Still in the same temple, still sitting with her knees hugged, Altira looked lost. Apart from that dream, the communication with Shinji was her most precious treasure, and she really didn't want to lose it, and didn't want to return to being alone again.
"Listen to what I'm saying. I'm just saying maybe. I have to go on a long trip tomorrow and I don't know when I'll have time, so I asked you not to wait."
Shinji explained quickly. In the past month, his daily routine was very regular. He practiced in the morning, and when his family members started to get busy with their own things in the morning, Shinji would go to Altira to chat until lunch. In the afternoon, he was free to do whatever he wanted, either looking up information or helping his family. In the evening, everyone got together to play and fight, and when it was time to go to bed, he and Elquet would explore Mooncell until dawn, when Elquet went to sleep.
However, this peace was broken today because a phone call from Lorelaia ended Shinji's peaceful daily life and he naturally could not continue to maintain a regular schedule.
"I promise you, as long as I take the time, I will come to you."
Hearing Shinji say this, Altira's expression eased a lot, but he was still a little uneasy.
"You must come."
"Of course, trust me—I'll tell you the story when the time comes."
"Okay, it's settled."
Altira extended a finger and placed it against Shinji's palm, which was the form of the agreement Shinji told her.
"Well, it's a deal."
"where are you going?"
"China, an ancient and mysterious land."
It is also the hometown of Shinji's soul.
PS: Santa Claus is very civilized. His bleating imitation of sheep's bleating is so cute. Baa baa baa~~~~~~~~~~~ in an infinite loop.
