MTL - Public Executions From King Duma-Chapter 13 Arturia and King Arthur
"Are you here? My reincarnation."
King Arthur spoke, and his eyes turned to Arturia at this time. In those identical pupils, it revealed the heroic spirit and calmness that Arturia had never had before.
A born king also has the arrogance that a born superior has.
Arturia had also seen her most beloved sister Morgan and her father who was the emperor of the empire, which made her a little nervous.
"Ah, yes, you, hello, then, that... how should I, what should I call you?"
King Arthur showed a gentle smile: "Don't be so nervous, I said, I am your reincarnation, you are my present life, and we are the same person. If you have to distinguish, you can just call me Arthur."
After a pause, she added, "Actually, I'm not a complete soul at all, just a missing body left by your previous existence. When my mission ends, I will disappear completely."
Artoria was stunned when she heard the words, and said in a tone of uncertainty: "Arthur... You mean, my previous life, that is, you, was really that holy king? The ancestor of our Pendragon family? But, isn't that holy king a man?"
King Arthur nodded: "I am indeed a male in the historical records, and I did appear in front of the world as a male at that time. This is because in that era, the male king was more admired than the female king."
"So, I asked Merlin to cast an illusion on me, so that others saw me as a male."
Arturia showed a look of surprise: "Merlin? Is that the legendary magician? Even... even such a thing exists? Are those legendary stories true?"
The doubts of history seemed to be solved at this moment, but there were new questions, and the girl's expression became subtle: "Then...the descendants left by King Arthur, the blood of our Pendragon family..."
King Arthur said calmly: "You are indeed my descendants, and there is no problem with your bloodline. If you want to know the truth, you can continue to watch the light curtain image you see. Inside, you will find the answer you want to know."
Upon hearing this, Arturia couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is that light curtain image?"
King Arthur's voice became deep: "Didn't you already see the content of the light curtain at the beginning? It was erased, forgotten history, human beings have completely lost relevant records, but the world does not, the world itself records everything."
"Originally, these recorded contents will not be broadcast, and the world is not so busy, but this world has encountered a mystery! For this planet, the mystery is an alien invasion disaster, and the extraordinary who originally had the power to fight against the mystery , have disappeared because of the stupidity of human beings themselves."
"The world just informs mankind of what mankind has lost, and wants mankind to find the lost supernatural power to fight against the mysterious invasion."
Arturia showed a thoughtful look: "You mean... the world itself is conscious?"
King Arthur nodded: "It can be understood in this way, the concept of world consciousness, you who have lived in Yingzhou for a long time, should not be unfamiliar."
Arturia nodded, after all, world consciousness, all kinds of anime light novels produced in Yingzhou are useless, even if she didn't understand it deliberately, she knew the existence of this kind of thing. After all, there are always people around discussing this kind of thing. No matter how indifferent you are, you will hear it.
For a while, Arturia was a little dazed: "I can't imagine that there is real world consciousness... Then... those things in the anime are also real?"
King Arthur: "..."
She didn't know how to answer this question, because she didn't know what a certain person behind the scenes would do.
At the moment, King Arthur said: "You don't need to care too much about these things. After the world announces more historical truths, you can observe and judge with your own eyes - compared to these, you should care about yourself now."
"Ah? Myself?" Arturia tilted her head cutely, her big eyes filled with little doubts.
King Arthur: "Look what you have in your hand!"
When Artoria heard the words, she suddenly realized that there was something in her right hand.
When I picked it up and looked at it, it was quite heavy, but after looking at it clearly, I found that it was actually a solid wood knight's sword.
Not only that, Artoria was also surprised to find that her clothes had changed at some point, and she was wearing a gray sackcloth and preliminary trousers.
The material is quite poor, which made Artoria, who grew up with a golden key in her hand and at least dressed in famous brands, very uncomfortable.
"Um...this is..."
King Arthur responded: "This is the costume I wore when I was a knight's squire, and it is also the most suitable posture to hone the basics. Now, pick up the sword and start training!"
Arturia: "Ah? Ahh? Training, training?"
King Arthur stared at Artoria: "I can feel that you are also eager to obtain my power—that is, the power of the previous life."
"I have to say that you are so weak. You have never undergone systematic training. Although you have held a sword, they are all fine modern Western swords. That kind of thing has no meaning at all in real combat."
"So, everything for you must start from the basics, and I will teach you how to become a real knight from scratch."
After hearing this, Arturia couldn't help but her heart beat faster, and she had a headache, she couldn't help but muttered: "Well... can't you just hand over your power to me? It's like you control my body to fight today... isn't it all in the anime? Did you act like that?"
You are thinking about eating!
King Arthur glanced at Artoria with a blank face, and did not say the deplorable words, but said in a stern tone: "Don't say some dejected words there! There is nothing in this world that can be done without giving. Obtained at the price! The time I can continue to exist is limited to tonight. Therefore, in this dream, you must master what I teach you as much as possible!"
"Ah? One night? In a dream? Uh uh uh, impossible, impossible, this time is too short, how can it be possible?" Arturia said that this requirement was too high for her .
King Arthur showed a smile: "Don't worry! Although it is one night, the flow of time in the dream is different from the real world. There are still nine hours before you wake up. In the dream, one hour outside, you are in It's been three days here."
"At the same time, teaching in dreams is also different from the real world. Here, your training speed will be protected ten times. In other words, you spend an hour in the outside world here, which is equivalent to training for a month. "
"I have already planned that, with nine hours of sleep, you train for eight hours and rest for one hour to recover from mental exhaustion. In this way, you are equivalent to training for 240 days."
"You are me, the talent is there, training is just to get back your own power! Therefore, the effect of 240 days is enough to allow you to master the basic sword skills, and I will master mine later. leave the skills to you."
"When you wake up, even if you have mastered the basic supernatural power, you have the power to protect the things you hold dear. Instead of being the current situation, when encountering a mysterious attack, you can only bear it."
"Or, you hope that when you encounter mysteries and other dangers again in the future, you will still watch those demons wreak havoc and even take away the people you value."
Hearing this, the scene of tonight flashed through Arturia's mind.
The singer attacked, killing the person protecting her like stepping on an ant.
Then, she imagined another possibility, that is, the young man she valued was murdered mysteriously and mercilessly in front of her in order to protect herself.
Why do you protect yourself instead of running away—it's all a girl's fantasy, that's definitely the good side.
Even, the girl clearly imagined the scene where the young man told her to run away before he died.
Well, it's very classic, and it's a kingly plot that is often found in various film and television works and animations.
After all, after staying in Yingzhou for so long, she was deeply influenced by the pop culture here, and as a girl, how could she not be full of fantasy?
Although it was very funny, even the girl was moved by her own fantasies for a while, but what followed was chills all over her body, which made the girl's delicate body tremble.
Then, the girl's expression instantly became firm, with a bit of King Arthur's charm: "I don't want to! I don't want to see the people I cherish in front of me, but I can't do anything! I want to have power! Please! It's me from my previous life!"
The powerful speech represented the girl's heart.
When King Arthur heard the words, he couldn't help showing a gratified smile, and then his face became solemn again: "Very good, I have received your determination! Now, let's start! Pick up your sword and start training! "
Arturia: "Yes!"
The training started like this.
Even in dream training, fatigue will come, and rough clothes make the girl feel very uncomfortable.
However, the willpower of this pampered princess is unexpectedly strong.
After she made up her mind, no matter how hard or tiring the training was, the girl gritted her teeth and persisted.
Of course, there is definitely exhaustion and pain, and there are instinctive thoughts of giving up, but whenever this happens, without King Arthur's supervision, Arturia can't help but think of the terrible scene of losing someone important, Gritting his teeth, he persisted again.
This perseverance, this will to protect, made King Arthur a little surprised.
Time passed quietly, and time passed very slowly.
In the dream world, you don't need to use sleep to rest as in the real world, you just need to keep training, everything is the manifestation of willpower.
Obviously, the girl's willpower is much stronger than her weak appearance.
In the end, when the real world had passed eight hours and came to the last hour, the girl's consciousness had become dazed due to the long training.
King Arthur came to the girl and said softly, "Congratulations, you have completed the basic training, now you can take a good rest."
Hearing this, the girl's delicate body swayed, then her body softened, her eyes slowly closed, and she fell like this.
At this moment, the dream scene collapsed, and King Arthur also closed his eyes, turning into particles of light and merging into Artoria's body.
The two were completely integrated, and Artoria also inherited the inheritance that belonged to King Arthur.
