I don’t know whether he was mocking the decadent island or mocking his own cowardice.

If the destruction of this island, which should have been buried long ago, could save panhuman history, Artoria would probably agree to it very readily.

Although she is a resident of this world, she has to make such a choice. Artoria feels very complicated.

Chapter 1133 Winter Memory

2023-06-01

"Now that we've made our decision, let's go!"

Merlin pointed deep into the grassland.

"Go around that hill and you'll see the chosen place—that's the forge where the six original fairies were supposed to forge the holy sword. That's where the mission of the Paradise Fairies will be fulfilled!"

"There will be a few checkpoints along the way, but that's nothing to worry about. Just think of them as the final test of the defense system!"

…………

The gardens of Xingneihai stretch as far as the eye can see.

After going around the hill, the forge that looked like an altar came into view.

At the same time, everyone arrived at the first checkpoint.

"Get ready."

Merlin reminded them.

"The final few levels materialize the Paradise Fairy's words and actions thus far as obstacles. This is a reckoning with her life so far, a confirmation of her brief existence, from the harsh cold of winter to the joyful warmth of spring. This is a ritual in itself, like bathing and changing clothes before burning incense."

"I can't do anything, so I'm relying on you guys here. That's why I recruited you guys."

The voice just fell.

Altria disappeared very abruptly right in front of them.

Everyone was caught off guard for a moment.

"It looks like it has already started. Don't worry, she'll be back soon."

However, Merlin looked calm and composed, which made everyone put their worries at ease.

"Hey, Merlin, I have something to ask you."

Muramasa suddenly spoke up.

He stared at Merlin coldly, his eyes filled with an unconcealable heaviness.

"Letting Altria complete her mission, doesn't that also mean—"

"Oh, it looks like the enemy has appeared!"

Merlin interrupted him with a grin.

A dark figure appeared from the direction where Altria disappeared.

In appearance, it is similar to Morse.

But it inexplicably gives people an unusually sharp feeling, like ice in winter, making people feel chilled from the bottom of their hearts.

No way.

Muramasa had to put aside his doubts for the time being and rushed forward to fight the enemy together with Mashu while protecting Guda.

"Hey, brat, come and help!"

"Just a few of you are enough."

Jiang Li glanced at Muramasa who was yelling at him and said indifferently.

The enemy is not strong. Although it takes some time, it is not difficult for Muramasa and Mashu to defeat them.

In contrast.

He had other things that were more important to him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li turned his attention to the other side.

"Eh? After becoming an Earth follower, you can even do something like this?"

Merlin looked at him with a smile, marveling in his heart.

"You've become so powerful in such a short time, yet there's no sign of further growth. Beings like this, beyond the control of fate, are always popular... Goetia, will your actions ultimately become someone else's pawn?"

…………

Ever since I was old enough to understand, the sound of bells has been echoing in my ears.

Never stop for a moment.

Even in dreams, you can clearly hear the melodious bell sounds.

It makes people feel irritated or even disgusted.

"Hurry and start the pilgrimage."

The bell urged her on.

Being urged so frequently, Artoria could also understand that her pilgrimage might involve something important, and she also had the idea of saving the collapsing empire.

but.

This Britain is like hell.

Childhood.

Mother said so.

"You must be used by us. You must train hard, even to the point of not wanting to sleep. You must at least look like the child of prophecy! That's how you can make a lot of money. Otherwise, who would adopt you?"

Too heartless to be a mother.

Everyone in the village is like my mother.

While keeping a close eye on her, he was also trying hard to ignore her.

Because the fairies in the village are just ordinary fairies, adopting the Child of Prophecy would risk disobeying the Queen's orders, so they are always monitoring Altria's actions, and are always expecting to get rewards from her that are proportional to the risks.

At the same time, this also means.

If she doesn't behave like the child of prophecy who wants to overthrow the queen's rule, she may be wiped out by the villagers immediately!

Because the risk is not worth the investment, then in order to avoid being discovered by the queen, they must wipe out the root of the problem and kill Altria!

"Yes, I understand, Mother!"

Even as a child, Artoria was quite intelligent.

She deeply understood the dire situation she was in, so she smiled sweetly, and was extremely well-behaved and submissive.

That smile successfully put her mother down.

Not just words, but corresponding actions.

Therefore, Artoria has been practicing staff skills very hard since she was a child.

After all, no one could teach her magic, so she could only hone her skills in beating people with her wand.

Surrounded by deep malice, Artoria learned to wear a mask, learned not to refuse other people's requests, and learned to flatter others since she was a child.

Because if you are not careful, you will be beaten by the villagers.

In order to save the cost of raising her and to avoid being discovered by the Queen's Army, the villagers drove her to live in the stable, which was where horses were raised. Not only was it smelly all day long, but the corners also leaked air and there wasn't even a decent set of bedding.

With such a childhood, Artoria felt that this fairy kingdom was terrible!

Even though he was so weak, he still had to work hard, fight, and risk his life for these fairies to overthrow the queen's rule?

What a joke!

No matter what others think, Artoria can't muster any fighting spirit.

The constant ringing of the bells in her ears only made her feel depressed and even rebellious, and she thought that she should just not care about their lives.

This kind of life continued until he was about 6 years old.

Because she had always responded unconditionally to everyone's expectations in the village, the goblins in the village relaxed their vigilance towards her a little, allowing her to have some free time.

Of course, even so, she did not dare to relax at all, and still worked hard to train herself every day, for fear that she would be caught by the villagers and executed.

One day, she was practicing her staff skills alone in the field.

"Disgusting!"

"It's so disgusting, it makes me want to vomit!"

"Although the goblins are disgusting enough, the fact that you obey them is even more disgusting to me. I can't help but speak out!"

"Woooa ...

"I'm not a magic wand! Listen carefully, I'm Merlin, the great wizard Merlin, and I'm just talking to you with this wand! From now on, I'm going to teach you magic and take you in as my apprentice, so just look forward to it!"

From that day on.

The dull, tedious and fearful life finally has a different color.

Two updates, nucleic acid.

Chapter 1134 The So-called Merlin

2023-06-01

"Really? Then I want to learn to fly and get out of here!"

"It's so difficult right from the start, isn't it? Flying is difficult, even wind fairies can't do it. That's the privilege of dragon fairies and winged fairies, not something you can do right now. Learn something more down-to-earth first!"

"Is that so? Then is there any magic trick that can keep me warm at night? My house is very cold, and I lost two toes last year!"

"...I'll go learn now! No, I'll go prepare the teaching materials now!"

Just like that, six-year-old Altria began to learn magic with Merlin.

Although Merlin always said it was inconvenient and that he would have to wait two or three days before teaching her, he must have put a lot of thought into it so that I, whose magic power was scarce, could also learn it.

For Altria, that was the only happy time in her childhood.

But this simple happiness only lasted for a year.

A year later, the fairy girl who prided herself on not changing her attitude towards others saw her chatting and laughing with her magic wand in the fields and secretly told the village chief about it.

The village chief found her behavior suspicious and confiscated her Staff of Choice.

After that, she never heard Merlin's voice again.

In a trance.

It was just a moment of daze.

Artoria returned to the endless garden.

Muramasa and his companions had just defeated the monster when they saw Altria reappear before them.

“Is this the reckoning of memory?”

Altria lowered her head, her expression showing no emotion at all.

Gudako and Mashu came forward and asked her about her well-being.

Muramasa had a sullen face and said nothing.

Jiang Li lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"How many times will this happen?"
