Lost Narrative Poetry

What kind of thing is this...

Are you suddenly happy to be a father? Just like this, you have an extra daughter?

Xia Ran's mind was in a mess. He looked at the little face so close to him. Arturia's angry look seemed even more angry than his own.

And there was Mordred next to her. After shouting as if she had summoned up a lifetime of courage, now she just lowered her head and said nothing. Her ears were completely red, and there seemed to be a hint of something visible to the naked eye. Heat bubbled from the blond hair on her head.

An obvious fact is that the scene just now affected far more than just Xia Ran's own heart.

He rubbed his brows with a headache, but after all, he had a far-reaching ambition that could not be compared with ordinary people, so he quickly calmed down and regained his calm mood. After all, as Artoria said, avoiding problems cannot solve the problem, so it is better to face reality.

"Forget it, let's talk about what's going on... Why did it become like this?"

Without trying to break away from Artoria's hand, he sat back again and exhaled forcefully.

Sure enough, I was still a little careless. If I had known that it would develop to this extent, I should have paid close attention to it, instead of just thinking that I would just watch Arturia's jokes next. The real world news came so fast.

"Why did it become like this?" The blond and blue-eyed knight king stared at him with resentment and repeated the question. "Why do you think it's like this? If you want to recognize her identity and inheritance, you must at least be honest and be recognized by your subjects!"

"Of course I know this, but...why does it involve me?" Xia Ran looked confused.

The feudal era was naturally about orthodoxy, and there was nothing that could be done about it.

Even if we can vigorously promote the crazy development of technology and productivity, it is difficult for things like concepts and traditions to undergo leapfrog changes in a short period of time. It often takes a long time, even after generations. Change.

Even if you take the initiative to promote advanced concepts from more than 1,500 years later, people of this era will not be able to understand them at all. If you push them forcefully, it will only have the opposite effect... After all, some things still need to be promoted step by step, and it cannot be done Expect to become fat in one bite.

In this world, in this era, after all, not long ago, chivalry was still the mainstream universal value, and feudal concepts and systems were far from being eliminated, and its positive significance was still greater than the consequences it brought. Disadvantages.

The people's views are the same. They still attach great importance to the legitimacy of orthodox title and birth. Since Mordred's inheritance rights are to be recognized, it is also necessary to endorse her birth.

Even Artoria, the former King of Knights, is the same, although she pulled out the Sword of King Selection and thus ascended the throne. But before that, Merlin's prophecy had been building momentum for her for more than ten years - "King Uther's successor has been chosen, and this person will be the next king."

In other words, it was because she was the successor of King Uther that she was able to possess the name of righteousness and be recognized by people in terms of legitimacy.

"Besides you, what other choice do I have? Anyway, I don't want to publicly declare that she is my and my sister's child, and the public will definitely not recognize it..."

Arturia tried her best to calm down and said seriously: "And the legend of King Arthur has ended, let the past be bygones! I have talked with Gao Wenqing and others, and we all agree that the influence of us undead from the old era is not It should appear in this new world..."

"Broken and then established?" Xia Ran expressed understanding, but still had a headache and gently rubbed the center of his brow.

There is indeed a lot of mess left behind by King Arthur's era. Many people today are people from that era. They don't know that the situation was so bad back then because the times are changing and the entire human world is rejecting Britain. s reason.

Years of murderous crimes...

The land cannot grow food...

No matter how much I endure, it never seems to get better...

This is because the rules of the original world are changing, and they are targeting and eliminating the remnants of them who have been living in the mystery and magic left from the Age of Gods.

They just felt that the original Knight King was so aggressive that he fought for years and did not give people like them a chance to cultivate and live. Many people felt that they could no longer bear it any longer, so they stood up to resist the King of Knights. This is why the kingdom broke apart, civil war broke out, and finally came to ruin...

It's also because I know that there are many people who don't understand anything at all, but are already disappointed with the results of their past rule, and even resentful.

Coupled with other reasons, and after comprehensive consideration, Arturia accepted the Master's kind proposal and re-entered the British stage as the "Lion King".

At best, she used the Holy Spear Lungominiad to promote 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 in doing this now. We are no longer just starting out, and we no longer need to rely on our former orthodox status to attract people. Doing this now will easily lead to a lot of trouble and affect the stability of the kingdom..."

Arturia said slightly irritably: "Also, there was obviously no news before, but now a king's legitimate son has appeared out of nowhere, and the people will definitely be suspicious. I want to give a more surprising explanation. Apart from you, there is no other way to give a convincing explanation..."

There is really no other way, and it is impossible to blame it on others.

Leaving aside the question of whether she can be convincing, the girl simply has not thought about the possibility of others, and she rejects 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 said nothing.

He looked at Arturia who was irritated, and then at Mordred opposite who was pretending to be an ostrich all the time. Maybe it was because his brain was overloaded and he couldn't think anymore. Then he twitched the corner of his mouth, and then supported the table with one hand. He held his chin and tilted his head and began to think.

But just a moment later, he finally put down his arm and exhaled a long breath, his expression seemed to be calm and completely accepted the reality——

"Forget it, let's leave it like that. It's not a big deal anyway..."

"..."

"..."

"Huh?" Arturia uttered a surprised syllable and looked up at the magician in surprise. She felt that at least she had to spend some time talking.

"Although it is indeed a bit baffling, you must have been very entangled and difficult to make such a decision, right?"

As Xia Ran said this, he nodded to himself. He didn't believe that Artoria didn't feel strange at all. It was obvious that she had even admitted that Mordred was her child before. There is no room for negotiation at all, and the slightest mention will cause the fur to explode like a cat's tail being stepped on.

And after he calmed down and figured it out, he found that this incident was mainly just a huge impact caused by the sudden and huge impact on him when he was completely unprepared at the beginning.

Other than that, there seems to be no other impact.

"Think about it carefully. It's just 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 vigorously, seemingly trying to increase his persuasiveness in this way. .

"..."

"..."

"So if it's true...do you dislike it?" Artoria asked coldly.

Is her focus wrong? Even though she had completely figured it out, why did she still look annoyed?

"...No, it's just that it's really not realistic at all." Xia Ran was silent for a moment, then defended wisely, "I'm not at all mentally prepared to suddenly have an extra daughter. If you can really accept it as a matter of course, you won’t believe it, right?”

"Hmph, in short, Master, you are too sensitive, just get used to this kind of thing..."

Artoria was still very dissatisfied. After all, it was all this guy's fault. How could he be left alone? Of course you have to share the joys and sorrows with yourself!

She angrily grabbed the tableware on the table next to her again, and then realized that it had been bent by herself before. Just at this time, the silver-haired and red-eyed doll lady had already walked up. After gently placing the breakfast in front of Xia Ran, she handed her the new tableware.

"Good morning, Miss Scathach, do you need anything?" The head maid turned to look at the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows and asked calmly and politely.

"Then please give me a share, thank you." The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, who was watching the show with great interest, came back to her senses, nodded, thanked her, and then walked over without politeness and directly stood in front of Xia Xia. Opposite Ran, Mordred sat down next to him.

Mordred didn't react at all. She didn't know whether it was because of the previous experience of fighting side by side and sharing life and death that allowed her to establish a friendship with Scathach, or whether her brain was really shut down now.

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere became slightly silent, and the air seemed to be frozen.

The magician looked like Artoria before, with a subtle expression on his face, and was stirring the porridge in a bowl with a spoon.

Probably to change the topic and ease the tense atmosphere, after a while, he slowly raised his head and said to Scathach opposite: "No need to waste time, Miss Scathach, I don't know how to do it." Accept any challenge from you..."

The topic was changed really abruptly, and Arturia raised her eyebrows as she obviously didn't say anything.

"Well, why not accept it?"

The Queen of Shadow Kingdom was not angry either, she just asked calmly.

"Because it's not necessary, and it's not a challenge at all. You just came here to ask for death..." Xia Ran sighed. Maybe for Scathach, real death is salvation, but this It's none of his business, and there's no need for him to keep his thoughts unclear.

"Want to die?"

Artoria was slightly startled, what's going on? She didn't know this at all. She just thought that this woman was a typical Celtic warrior who did it for glory or dignity, so she dared to stay alone and challenge her master.

Although they have nothing in common with each other, there was no acquaintance in the past, and there is no friendship now, she still admires this legend... But now it seems that she is too sentimental?

"You...how do you know? You read my mind?" Scathach's expression stiffened instantly.

She is not surprised at all that this person has the ability to read minds, because she can do it by herself, and does not even need the assistance of other spells. As long as her clairvoyance reaches A level or above, she can already read the future. predictions or mind-reading.

But whether it is or not is one thing. She feels that even if she is not an opponent at all, she will not be crushed to this extent. She should still be able to resist the opponent's psychic power. In a confrontation, she can at least fight for a while and make gestures. …

If nothing else works, even if she collapses at the first touch and is killed instantly, at least she should be able to "aware" that this battle is happening, right?

But isn't this situation too magical now? She didn't even notice anything, but the other party captured the deepest secret in her heart? Although he did come with the idea of ​​​​wanting to die, for a moment, Scathach still felt shuddering and had a feeling of fear that stood on end.

"I have always respected other people's privacy and would never do such a thing. I just have my own intelligence channels..."

Xia Ran said calmly, and then received two disdainful glances at the same time.

The one of course belongs to Artoria. She knows her Master thoroughly, and of course she does not believe such a statement that has no credibility. The other was Scathach's, the queen who, after the inevitable initial shock, immediately became relieved.

Let's just say her mind is being read. Anyway, she doesn't hide any invisible or embarrassing secrets in her heart... It's just that this person dares to do it but doesn't dare to admit it, which is really unbearable.

Are there any sources of information? Did he fall into the card pool or something? Without mind reading, how could he possibly know such a secret?

"If you don't believe it, don't believe it. I'm always misunderstood anyway..." The magician didn't care, "But I can understand your situation to some extent. I just feel that I have seen through everything in the world. Over the long years, You already feel lifeless here, don’t you?”

"If you know, why can't you be kind to me?"

Scathach didn't deny it, just stared at him dissatisfied.

"There is no need for it. Your situation is simply more than enough than above. You are just trapped in this world, standing at a height close to the top. But you have no way to make changes. You feel bored and unwilling to look for it. Encounter some new things and see other scenery..."

Xia Ran still flatly refused.

"You're not trying to trick me into going to Chaldea to help Ritsuka again, are you?" Scathach looked a little suspicious, "It's really strange, why do you, a person from other worlds, care so much about human nature?"

"I'm just giving advice with good intentions. If you really don't want to go, I won't force you. But this is what you asked for..." The magician blinked, "What do you think of my current mentality? , it’s because I keep traveling between different worlds.”

"...The reason for the immortality of living water?" The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows was dubious, but she was inclined to believe it in her heart.

This man's mentality is really too young, unlike his own heart that has been frozen.

She also absolutely does not believe that this person is only seventeen years old, or even under a thousand years old. This is an underestimate. This kind of existence is absolutely fantasy in the world view of the Gods. Is it really possible for one to appear on a time scale of thousands of years?

So the only explanation... seems to be this?

"That's right, if you think that parallel worlds or something like that still have similar scenery, then you might as well just...leave this world completely and go to a completely different world. How about this?" Xia Ran nodded lightly, thinking in her heart. Got an idea.

His second magic seems to have gained a new level of improvement and understanding along with his current height, and it seems to have entered an incredible realm. It is no longer limited to the current entire world as a reference point, but covers everything from there. of multiple time-space lines.

Instead, it began to radiate towards the outer realm outside the world...

It is definitely too early to say that it affects infinite dimensions, but he is sure that he has detected the existence of other dimensions in the void sea.

It’s okay to develop the inner universe world within your own body slowly, but is there any faster way than directly swallowing other worlds and unfolding existing events directly within yourself? By moving those worlds to another place, you can directly increase your strength...

The Queen of Shadow Kingdom was a little stunned.

She didn't know that she, who had no hope for life and wanted to die, was chosen by the magician in front of her to be his forward sentry across the universe and preying on dimensions, but she was very shocked by what he said.

Leaving this world completely...is this really possible?
