The last knight Bedivere left Arturia, and the surroundings of Arturia once again returned to calm. She closed her eyes as the wind blew, as if she wanted to recall a dream she had just had.
In the Merlin cabin, Le Yuan, who had been writing furiously, finally stopped writing and at the same time completely closed the notebook that recorded the legend of King Arthur. The legend of King Arthur's stay in the world has come to an end, and he needs to meet his old friend.
Morgan, who had been using the six-pointed star magic circle to seal Merlin's cabin, had just escaped from monitoring the dying Artoria when he saw that the magic circle he had spent a lot of energy on to seal Merlin's teacher actually emitted something like The sound of breaking glass.
Ka-ka-chi-ka-ka-chi-
The sound was dreamlike, as if it came from the void, but Morgan knew very well that it was the sound that would be made when the magic circle he had set up was about to collapse, but it was precisely because of his understanding that he couldn't accept it.
collapse-
The magic that Morgan was proud of, the magic circle that she had added the strongest magic to, was destroyed so easily at this moment, so fast that Morgan didn't even have time to stop the collapse.
Le Yuan finally set foot in the outside world again after three years of disappearance, and the cabin he built disappeared from the world with his appearance, and at the moment of disappearance, it was a realm that Morgan could not perceive at all. The breath of power.
"Teacher Merlin... Could it be that you have been trapped by me on purpose these past three years?"
"On purpose? Morgan, you misunderstood..." Le Yuan's voice was very calm, as if the person he was communicating with was not his disciple at all, but just an ordinary stranger, "You have never trapped me. , I just want a quiet place to write a book..."
This is not nonsense from Le Yuan. Morgan is very powerful. In just over 20 years, he has gone from an ordinary little girl to a B-level low-level magician who has many secretaries. Although he has the blood of the white dragon, The effectiveness exists, but her qualifications and efforts cannot be completely denied.
But it was precisely because of Le Yuan's indifference that Morgan couldn't accept it even more. Why does Le Yuan always treat her so calmly? She would rather Le Yuan angrily treat her as an enemy than such a stranger who seems to have nothing to do with her.
"The Swamp of Madness!"
The ground under Le Yuan's feet instantly turned into a swamp, and countless tentacle-like vines swung towards Le Yuan from under the swamp.
Stepping on the mire, Le Yuan seemed to be completely immune to the changes in the terrain. He couldn't stand the vines coming from all around, and he was advancing step by step as if he were strolling in a leisurely garden.
Any attack that tried to get within one meter of Le Yuan would undoubtedly be distorted, crushed, and disappeared... Morgan's attacks never stopped, but they were unable to interrupt Le Yuan's progress at all.
In just ten seconds, the entire forest seemed to have been swept aside by countless missiles, and the appearance of it ten seconds ago was no longer visible. At this time, Le Yuan was already standing in front of Morgan, less than half a meter away from him.
Just when Morgan thought she would die in Le Yuan's hands, she saw Le Yuan rubbing her 30-year-old woman with his hands like a teacher who praised his students.
"You are very strong, Morgan! You have been working hard, keep up the good work!"
After saying this, Le Yuan once again left Morgan behind and continued to move forward.
"Teacher Merlin!" This cry already contained Morgan's unique cry. Le Yuan couldn't remember how long ago it was since Morgan became an adult. "Why is all this happening? Are you going to What was I? Your doll, or a noisy child, why can't you treat me like you treated Arthur!"
"Morgan~" Le Yuan did not look back, he just spoke in a tone of experience, "People can never be the same. There is only one Arturia in the world, and there is also only one Morgan... Your wish was made a long time ago Isn't it already decided? Become the strongest magician. Your future should not be restricted by me!"
thump-
Morgan knelt down weakly on the ground. She had endured it for more than twenty years, but now she began to cry without concealment. The desire to be recognized and to be the person Le Yuan wants makes Morgan very jealous of Arturia's existence.
But Le Yuan rushed towards the forest where Artoria was located without stopping. At this moment, Le Yuan was not the only one heading towards Artoria.
"咴咴~~"
Arturia, who had her eyes closed, was awakened again by the neighing sound of the horse. Before she opened her eyes, she asked aloud: "Is it you, Bedivere? Has the sword been returned to the Lake Fairy?"
Arturia's voice seemed unusually weak. When she opened her blue eyes, what she saw was not the Bedivere she had imagined, but another face that she would never forget.
"Lancelot? What a shame. I let you see me in such an ugly state... Guinevere, is she okay?"
"She has become a nun who serves God, and I am here to save you, King Arthur!"
I saw Lancelot taking a baggage from his back, and after untying it, what was revealed turned out to be a scabbard. That was accidentally abandoned by Arturia during a battle and belonged to the sworn victory. The scabbard of the sword - Avalon.
I saw Lancelot placing Avalon in Artoria's arms, and Artoria suddenly became his master. The scabbard immediately began to work, and bursts of healing magic began to repair Artoria. That broken body.
"sheath?"
As the healing power acted on her body, Arturia's originally weak voice was filled with a bit of anger. She herself did not expect that her lost scabbard would return at this time.
Looking at the familiar scabbard, Arturia couldn't help but want to ask Lancelot where he found the scabbard.
But Lancelot only spit out one person's name - Guinevere. This Avalon was obtained from Guinevere's hand. To be more precise, the scabbard Avalon has never been lost. In the battlefield of Arturia where the scabbard was lost, Guinevere got it at the same time. He took off the scabbard and kept the scabbard hidden.
"Why?"
Arturia really couldn't figure out why her queen did this, and what benefit did hiding her scabbard do to her.
"Morgan, this is all Morgan's order."
The answer from the Artoria Channel was immediately clear. Thinking of Mordred's previous reminder, he became even more wary of his unfamiliar sister.
Just when Arturia wanted to ask more, she saw the person she had been looking for for a long time but had no news about him—Merlin.
"Teacher Merlin, are you finally back?"
With that said, Arturia actually wanted to stand up and walk into Merlin. But her injuries were really serious. Although the scabbard Avalon saved her from death, it would not take a short time to make the injury disappear.
"I should be asking this question, Artoria! After coming back from that dream that traveled through thousands of years, have you ever regretted everything you have done now?"
The current Artoria is not only the little girl who was pushed to the throne by Le Yuan, but also has the memory of participating in the Fourth Holy Grail War, and is the Saber Artoria who once made a contract with the world.
After the Holy Grail War ended, she once again returned to the time when she was about to die, but after receiving the memory, she discovered that the fate was similar but different.
"Teacher Merlin, you—"
Arturia couldn't help but look a little surprised. No one should know the memory of her dream, but Le Yuan seemed to know it better than herself.
After taking off all disguises, Le Yuan returned to his original appearance again. After being the Archmage Merlin for so long, he hasn't been able to breathe in his true colors for a long time.
"Berserker Le Yuan? You are Teacher Mei Lin. Am I dreaming?"
Artoria was almost driven insane by this fact. She held her head with one hand and seemed to be organizing her thoughts.
"It's a contract. Just like you made a contract with the world, I also made the same thing with that guy, so that you can have a life without regrets. So now I ask you again, Arturia!"
"Have you ever regretted your current life?"
Recalling the memories in his mind, Arturia's thoughts were recalling the current history, and found that although his life was completed under the guidance of Merlin, every battle, every victory, every sadness … Although there is pain in these life journeys, there is never any regret.
"No - I don't regret it. My life is very satisfying. Thank you, Teacher Meilin, thank you - Le Yuan!"
However, Le Yuan did not stop moving because of Artoria's thanks. The scabbard's recovery speed was too slow, and Le Yuan could not help but take action to help Artoria recover independently.
Then in front of Arturia, who had basically recovered, Le Yuan took out the Holy Grail.
"Holy Grail? Do you want it?"
Arturia didn't understand what Le Yuan wanted to do, but Le Yuan knew exactly what he wanted.
The second bullet of soul materialization!
This time the target is Artoria. Ordinary people can only be believed by humans after death and become heroic spirits. But Artoria, her achievements and legends as King Arthur, combined with the Holy Grail in Le Yuan's hand, were enough to directly promote her from a living person to an existence equivalent to a heroic spirit.
The magic power of the Holy Grail is being vented. Although the Arturia in front of him does not have the Sword of Victory as a Noble Phantasm, it still has the scabbard. In order to turn it into a Noble Phantasm, the Holy Grail in Le Yuan's hand took a lot of effort. .
Success!
The moment Artoria succeeded, Le Yuan pressed his left hand on Artoria's shoulder, and his right hand turned into a devil's arm in an instant, and then penetrated Artoria's chest with her wide eyes. .
Le Yuan's hand quickly retracted, but Arturia showed the pleasure of being separated from her soul. This indescribable strong feeling almost made Arturia, who had learned court etiquette, almost have a spoiled expression on her face. .
When the feeling dissipated, Arturia's heroic body was leaning against Le Yuan's body, breathing heavily.
"Le Yuan...you guy!"
Arturia, who was about to ask Le Yuan, couldn't help but stopped, just because Le Yuan actually pulled out a red sword from Arturia's body.
