night.
The evening breeze blew gently into the Londinium, causing the fire in the Londinium to sway slightly.
The light here is firelight.
Because people did not have the luxury of using lamps, they could only light bonfires or torches and use the fire for lighting.
At this time, the soldiers' training had ended and the logistics staff's work for the day had also come to an end. Only those responsible for patrolling and standing guard were still faithfully guarding around the city walls. However, compared to the previous few days, it was still obvious that there was some relaxation on everyone's faces.
After all, the Queen's Army has retreated, and the powerful enemy Bagster has also set out on the road back to Camelot.
Without the threat of external enemies, everyone would naturally relax a little. If it weren't for the need to guard against someone taking advantage of the situation, Percival might have even reduced the number of people on guard patrol.
There is no way. The Round Table Army has too few troops, less than a thousand. If some of the people on patrol and guard duty could be withdrawn, the work in other areas could be sped up a lot.
Originally, when a powerful force like Lige came to Londinium, according to Percival's previous style, he wanted to hold a welcoming ceremony overnight so that everyone could welcome Lige's arrival, relax and celebrate.
However, the amount of information that Lige brought today was so great that Percival and others were in no mood to hold a celebration. The people of Chaldea even held a meeting overnight and contacted the headquarters, and they are still discussing things now.
Therefore, although he felt it was a bit bad, Percival cancelled the celebration with the understanding of Liger.
Li Ge really didn't care about this kind of thing, and he didn't need anyone to welcome him with great fanfare.
He has experienced this kind of thing countless times in the Source World.
So, forget about the grand welcome ceremony.
"Besides, it's not possible to be solemn in a place like this, right?"
Looking at the room which could barely shelter him from the wind and rain and whose only commendable feature was its cleanliness and tidiness, Lige scratched his cheek.
This was the room Percival had assigned to him as his residence while in Londinium.
This was also the most dilapidated room Lige had ever lived in. If it had not been tidied up very cleanly, he would have been thinking about setting up a shelter on the spot and living directly in the shelter.
"Don't be so hypocritical. It's not like you haven't rested in a similar environment before."
Perhaps it's because he has stayed in too many luxury suites recently, so Lige has become a little picky.
But if he really wants to live there, it's not impossible for him to do so.
You know, when you were an adventurer in the underground world, once you expedition to a dungeon, you would live directly in a tent on the spot, or just find a random place to sleep.
Compared to those places, at least this place can shelter from the wind and rain, and has a roof and walls, which is already pretty good.
After staying in the room for a while, Lige stood up.
He walked out of the room and went outside, looking at the flickering firelight around him, listening to the occasional human voice coming from a corner, and after a while he walked towards the city wall.
When Lige arrived at the city wall, in addition to the people patrolling and standing guard, there was also a person standing on the wall in a remote corner, facing the wind.
"As expected, in a place like this..."
Li Ge was not surprised at all. He just flashed, climbed up the city wall, came to the other party's side, and looked at the night sky with him quietly without saying a word.
"------"
Silence lingered around the two people standing side by side, giving the evening breeze a sense of tranquility.
After a long time, the fairy girl standing there holding the Staff of Selection spoke faintly.
"Don't you want to say something?"
Altria did not look towards Lige, but continued to look ahead.
"What is there to say?" Li Ge did the same, and said slowly: "I have said everything that needs to be said. It all depends on what you think."
"What can I think?" Artoria said in a self-destructive tone, "Anyway, things have come to this, and I have already rung the five pilgrimage bells. There is only one left, and the pilgrimage will be complete."
"Even if I don't want to do the mission of the Paradise Fairy, I have already accomplished this much, right?"
"In that case, it doesn't matter what I think."
Hearing this, Lige paused for a few seconds before speaking.
"It seems that you already know how to complete your mission."
Lige was not surprised by this.
Every time she rings the Pilgrimage Bell, in addition to gaining some power, Artoria will also gain some knowledge, some memories, or some inheritance from the inner sea of the stars.
Just like when she rang the Pilgrimage Bell for the first time in Salisbury, Artoria gained the memories of King Arthur, the counterpart of pan-human history.
Now, she has rung five pilgrimage bells in succession, and only the last pilgrimage bell has yet to be rung.
Under such circumstances, she must have known a lot.
For example, what is the real mission of the Paradise Fairies?
If he doesn't know this, how can the fairy from paradise fulfill his mission?
Therefore, whether it is Morgan or Altria, they may really know nothing at the beginning, but as the pilgrimage bell rings, they will inevitably gain strength and knowledge little by little, and finally understand what they should do.
Perhaps, even if Liger did not make the true history of Britain public today, after a period of time, Artoria would gain memory or knowledge and know it all.
Therefore, Altria may have already vaguely realized what her true mission is and how to accomplish it.
Coupled with what Liger revealed today, Artoria already knew what she should do.
"Ringing the six pilgrimage bells corresponding to the six major fairy clans not only means the completion of the pilgrimage, but also means that the fairy clans admit their crimes."
"The fairy of paradise who rings all six "bone bells" will inherit the mystery of the "holy sword" and have the qualifications to complete the mission that the six fairies failed to complete."
"The mission that the six fairies failed to complete was to forge the divine weapon, the Holy Sword."
Altria said this with a tone of certainty mixed with speculation.
"As long as the six major clans admit their guilt and the holy sword is forged, the premise for the original establishment of this Lostbelt will no longer exist."
"History will turn back from here, and the world will return to the way it should be."
"By then, neither fairies nor Britain will exist anymore."
This is the true mission of the Paradise Fairies.
The so-called saving Britain and redeeming the fairies means returning the world to its original state, returning this "Island of Corpses" to nothingness, and then punishing the guilty fairies.
That's why Morgan was reluctant to complete this mission, because it would cause the Britain she loved so much to disappear.
And this mission has now been inherited by Altria.
"What about the true king defeating the false king and being crowned king?"
Altria spoke sarcastically.
"Even if I really did it, I would only be a destroyer of Britain, not a so-called king."
I can only say that the prophecy of the Mirror Clan really embellishes the mission of the Child of Prophecy too beautifully.
If the fairies knew that the true mission of the Child of Prophecy was to make Britain disappear and destroy the fairies, they would no longer welcome the rebels against the Queen's tyranny who could bring them excitement as they did before. Instead, they would want to torture Altria to death, just like the fairies who tortured Morgan and Altria before.
I have to say, this is indeed quite ironic.
"You knew it would turn out like this, didn't you?" Altria whispered, "That's why you kept telling me that fairies weren't worth saving, and Britain wasn't worth saving, right?"
"I'm not deliberately instilling this idea in you, hoping that you will feel better after knowing your true mission." Liger shook his head and denied it: "I really think that fairies are not worth saving, and Britain is not worth saving. You should be able to see that I am not lying."
Altria was silent for a long time, then spoke.
"So, you said those words in front of Bagzi?"
What Artoria was referring to was naturally the declaration that Liger had made to Bagst not long ago.
"I will stand on the side of the Son of Prophecy and the foreign magicians, and according to the prophecy of the Mirror Clan, I will make the true king defeat the false king and completely liberate this Britain."
"I will end the missions of the fairies of the previous and current paradises, and bring salvation to the fairies of this fairy kingdom."
"The original sins of the fairies will be judged by me and Altria, and they will receive the punishment they deserve."
Thinking of what happened at that time, Altria turned her head and looked at Lige.
"You really want Britain to disappear? You really want the goblins to perish?"
These words are already a bit harsh.
But Li Ge did not hide anything about this.
"Yes."
Lige admitted it with an indifferent look.
"why?"
Altria stared straight at Liger, as if she could see through his heart.
No, it's not as if, she can really see through Lige's heart.
With eyes like the Fairy Eyes that can see through lies, even Lige cannot lie in front of Altria, and may even expose his true thoughts.
Altria really wanted to know what Lige's real thoughts were.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a violent blow exploded on Altria's head, causing Altria to scream in pain out of surprise.
"Looking at me with those eyes again, you really can't learn your lesson." Li Ge took back his hand and said unhappily, "Have I ever lied to you? Why are you so wary?"
"Who, who knows what you are thinking?" Altria half squatted down with her head covered, and cried with tears in her eyes: "You always like to mess around, and always do whatever you want to do...!"
Liger immediately looked at Altria strangely.
"Are you jealous?"
Liger's words were sharp and pierced Altria's heart.
"Who's jealous?!"
Altria's defense was broken.
"You." Li Ge said mercilessly: "You think I have always been doing what I want to do. Although I am willful and reckless, I am free, so you envy me."
After all, unlike Liger, Artoria has been bound by things like "prophecy", "pilgrimage" and "mission" since she was born...
"I……"
Altria wanted to refute, but she couldn't say a word.
Thinking back on her own life, how could Altria not be aware of it?
In her life before the age of 16, she had no such thing as freedom, only persecution from her neighbors in her hometown.
After the fall of Tintagel, she was confused about the future and embarked on a so-called pilgrimage, ignorantly and without considering her own limitations.
Because she didn't know what she should do or what she could do at all.
In her eyes, the world has always been a storm of malice, and this has never changed.
If a "sun" hadn't suddenly burst into my life, I might still have accomplished nothing until now?
In this case, in this malicious world, how can a girl who has just turned 16 know what path to take in the future?
I can only take it one step at a time and go on the pilgrimage according to my original life plan.
It was not until Lige disappeared in Norwich and could no longer be found that Artoria made up her mind to complete the Pilgrimage Bell, but that was only to gain strength, to fulfill the promise, to find Lige, or to wait for Lige to return to find her.
Now, Liger has returned, but he has also laid the truth and ugly history of Britain nakedly in front of her.
Faced with this reality, what should she do?
Altria Caster could only continue to be confused like this.
Until, Lige put his hand on her head.
“If you don’t want to do it, you don’t have to do it.”
Liger's voice reached Altria's ears, surprisingly gentle.
"Like I told you before, missions are not something that can be imposed by others."
"If you don't like it, just do what Morgan did and throw it away."
"Even if they have given up that kind of thing, aren't they still living well now?"
After hearing what Lige said, Altria's expression became extremely complicated.
"……how about you?"
Altria could only say.
"Have you decided to destroy Britain?"
Li Ge answered this question very straightforwardly.
"Yes, I have made up my mind." Li Ge said calmly: "This is not only to achieve the purpose of my trip, but also to drag that stupid queen out of the cage called the Jade Throne."
Foolish Queen...
Artoria seemed to understand something, and her eyes became more and more complicated as she looked at Lige.
Liger didn't notice.
Because his eyes were glancing inconspicuously at a corner behind him.
There, the vague sight just now disappeared.
Li Ge's eyes flickered and he was muttering in his heart.
"You should be happy with my decision, right?"
"Destroy Britain. This is also your mission."
"Let me see when you're going to jump out..."
