Ptooey- / Morgan-chan
But... that's all there is to it.
She is Morgan, Queen Morgan who reigns over the Lostbelt Britain, not the Rain Witch or the savior Ash. No one can shake her will to rule Britain.
"..."
Realizing she was being completely ignored, Artoria pouted, but remained silent, shrinking quietly behind Gwen.
"It's best if you can't see me, it's best if you can't see me. As long as I get out of here, I should be able to live the life Gwen was talking about..."
As Artoria withdrew her head, Ector let out a long, leisurely sigh—
"Yes, it's been a long time..."
After a moment's hesitation, the once invincible Black Knight, who could take on a hundred men single-handedly, still couldn't utter his former name, only sighing,
What should I call you now?
Even though her aura and temperament were completely different, Ector was still certain that Gwen was telling the truth; it was indeed Ash... at least the Ash she once knew.
However, she is no longer the savior who brings warmth and hope, but the awe-inspiring, cold and ruthless Winter Queen.
"... Morgan."
Morgan paused for a moment before giving his answer—
"As a former comrade-in-arms, you are free to call me by this name."
But that's the only name.
"...I see."
After a moment of silence, Ector nodded slightly, but the aura that had just risen around him dissipated again, making him seem like just an Old Blacksmith in armor.
"If you're interested, you can come and catch up with me."
As for now, let's get down to business.
As he spoke, Ector took a step back and looked at Gwen—
He remembered the reasons Gwen had given him when he tried to persuade him.
If he could, he would still prefer to see the girl from his former savior squad, who was just like Artoria, again, rather than the cold and ruthless Queen she is now.
"Alright..."
Seeing that his most reliable advisor, Ector, understood his meaning, Morgan breathed a slight sigh of relief and shifted his gaze slightly to Gwen.
"I apologize, fellow traveler from a foreign land. It's an old friend reunion. I hope you'll forgive my rudeness."
As far as Morgan was concerned, regardless of the other party's strength, he was entitled to be treated with courtesy because he had seen his old friend again.
"It is only natural to reunite with an old friend."
Gwen nodded, then, amidst a sea of astonished gazes, produced a long sofa, sat down leisurely, and then pressed Artoria and Ector down with him, one in each arm.
Let me introduce myself—
My name is Gwen, and I come from Earth, a world outside the Root, and by chance, I arrived on this Earth.
Not long ago, they were transported from another world to the neighboring Atlantic Lostbelt by the Counter Force.
Having interacted with Zeus there, and since I happened to have some time, I decided to pay him a visit.
"..."
Even with Morgan's wisdom, it took him a while to understand the meaning behind Gwen's information-heavy words.
After understanding the meaning behind Gwen's words, Morgan's eyes flickered slightly, but his expression remained as cold as ever.
"You have brought Ector before me, and you are a distinguished guest of Britain."
However, if you've come as a lobbyist for other Lostbelt, please leave.
I am...
Before Morgan could make his declaration, Gwen interrupted him—
"However, I spent a few days in the Atlantic Lostbelt, and only after our encounter did I form an alliance with Zeus, the master there, to jointly deal with the Alien God."
Gwen interrupted Morgan's chanting, watching the Winter Solstice Queen on her throne with leisurely composure—
"After that, we still had unfinished battles."
Therefore, I am not here as his advocate, but in my personal capacity to extend an invitation to you and, incidentally, to take away a few innocent, unfortunate souls."
"..."
Realizing she was the unlucky one Gwen had mentioned, and feeling uneasy because of the stares of the other fairies in the room, Artoria wrinkled her little nose. But because of the situation, she didn't dare to say anything and could only pout in dissatisfaction.
"Invite?"
Faced with Gwen's completely unexpected remarks, Morgan straightened her posture slightly.
Since the three entered the hall, the spells Morgan had set up there had been constantly testing the strength of the newcomers.
Before she even began her pilgrimage, Artoria was still at the lowest level of fairy, easily killed with a flick of her finger.
Ector's strength has also declined significantly.
But Gwen... Morgan couldn't see through him at all.
Just as he couldn't see through Gwyn's mind when they first met eyes, Morgan had no idea how powerful Gwen was.
"Um."
Gwen nodded, glancing around at the goblins who were either physically present at the meeting, participating through magic, or even being allowed to observe—
"Britain, Britain these disgusting fairies... don't you find it filthy?"
The stone stirred up a thousand waves, but Gwen's silent release of his aura quelled the anger in the hearts of these goblins.
Faced with Gwen's question and gaze, Morgan remained silent, simply staring at Gwen.
It was really disgusting, but she had no other choice.
Chapter 637 Bah—
"I have here now..."
Hmm... an Earth that has just finished the Dead Apostle War;
A reconstruction plan has been put on the agenda, with only a group of well-educated and good people, the worst of whom are only a handful of good fairies here;
A Mars that probably already has an owner, but probably wouldn't mind having another lord;
There is also a raging star core, and after contacting them, they should be happy to accept your Yaliluo VI.
So, would you like to consider developing your career here with me?
While it will likely keep you incredibly busy, at least you won't have to deal with these annoying bastards, or spend your days preparing to fight Cernunnos with the Holy Lance just to clean up their messes.
Gwen spread his arms wide, making no attempt to hide his contempt and disgust for the vast majority of the goblins present.
The so-called Lostbelt Britain is a world where the majority of the population are not humans, but rather so-called fairies.
A strange creature that generally lacks a sense of good and evil, does whatever it finds interesting, like a child, and can enjoy good and evil purely and innocently, and even after death it will automatically give birth to/renew offspring.
Pooh--
Aside from a pitifully small number of remarkable fairies, they all possessed the innocence of birth.
In short, they are often in a state of being unruly and unruly children—and in the worst possible way.
To use an analogy, suppose that at the Previous Civilization, humanity was about to face the Finality. For various reasons, Elysia did not perish, but instead chose to try to bear the Finality, giving humanity hope of overcoming the Honkai.
At the farewell banquet before the expedition, they poisoned the food and drinks of Dr. MEI and other high-ranking officials, as well as the Thirteen Flame-Chasers and other combatants, with an incurable and fatal poison.
The reason wasn't Honkai of faith, nor was it due to personal grudges; it was simply because "I felt a little annoyed"...
Similar tricks were repeated endlessly from before this land even existed until the eve of its complete destruction...
As for their proportion among fairies... to paraphrase a phrase from before I transmigrated, if we kill them all, there will definitely be innocent ones. If we kill nine and release one, there will only be countless fish that slip through the net, allowing the fairies who truly deserve to live to continue to suffer.
All the goblins who heard Gwen's words felt immense anger at his arrogant attitude and his decision to drag them down into the filthy mire.
However--
Whether they were physically present or attending through a magical projection arranged by Morgan, the clan leaders were all suffocated by an indescribable aura, leaving them with no power to refute.
And on her throne, Queen Morgan, who ruled the Fairy Country —or rather, single-handedly sustained its existence—did not immediately comment on Gwen's sharp criticism of her subjects.
She herself, when she was still the savior Ash, suffered the most despicable betrayal from these demons. After saving the world time and time again, she was subjected to the most despicable expulsions, assassinations, poisoning, and slow slicing... She even had to seal herself in a coffin after saving the world in order to escape.
Therefore, upon hearing Gwen's proposal, which was undoubtedly intended to win him over, Morgan's first reaction was not to vehemently refuse, but rather to begin to consider it—
Although, according to Gwen, apart from one parallel Earth, the rest are other planets.
But... without these alluring fairies, without the vengeful spirit of Cernunnos, the Horned God, there would be no so-called calamity...
Morgan, who had been mentally exhausted for thousands of years, had to admit that he was somewhat tempted.
However, while he was tempted, Morgan was not about to agree so easily.
One aspect is that it's difficult to determine whether Gwen's words are true or false.
On the other hand...
After countless betrayals by the Bloody Coronation, the former rain Princess, rain witch Toneriko, and savior Ash is dead.
Now, what supports this body sitting here is only the will to dominate and control Britain, the will of Morgan from Pan-Human History combined with the legacy of Toneriko and Ash.
Gwen's tempting offer was, in a way, a way to kill Morgan in his current state.
However, although Morgan didn't speak, it didn't mean no one was there to retaliate against Gwen—
What nonsense are you spouting?
Looking somewhat puzzled at the other fairies who were all angry but remained silent, Fairy Knight Tristan, though confused as to why Woodworth, her mother's loyal hound, hadn't reprimanded them, still accepted the mission without hesitation.
"Even if you are a king from a foreign land, you have no right to be so disrespectful to Mother!"
As for Gwen's earlier comments about fairies being disgusting...
She's already ignored it, anyway... that's for sure.
"Bavantsi!"
Upon suddenly hearing his adopted daughter speak, Morgan snapped back to reality and sternly rebuked her, causing the fairy knight, who had just puffed out his chest, to lower his head.
Is this a curse?
Seeing this, Gwen suddenly spoke.
"Um?"
Morgan quickly turned to look at Gwen—
Bavantsi does indeed have a curse... or rather, a flaw.
As one of the few, or even the only, fairies who ever showed kindness to the savior Ash, Fairy Knight Tristan, whose real name is Bavantsi, was repeatedly abused to death because he was weak and vulnerable and did not know how to resist.
In this life, Bavantsi has reached the limit of a fairy, and once she dies, she will disappear completely.
However, the curse Gwen spoke of was entirely the opposite of the curse Morgan believed—
"Whether it's you here, or Morgan from the Pan-Human History, their educational abilities seem somewhat questionable—"
Gwen sighed, recalling Mordred's unfortunate temper—getting angry when mistaken for a woman, and getting angry when mistaken for a man.
"Whether it's Mordred, who's still a child, or this kind-hearted little girl here, you've both spoiled them..."
No, that's not right either. Morgan, in his Pan-Human History, also raised Gawain and his few other normal children...
Because Bavantsi only had this one last life, Morgan doted on her immensely.
However, because Morgan smiled when Bavantsi first killed a fairy, this fairy, who was inherently weak, continued to commit killings in hopes of gaining Morgan's smile and care, and even her personality became somewhat distorted.
"..."
Upon hearing Gwen's suspicion about the "curse" upon him, Morgan tensed up, unsure of what expression to make.
She also felt that Bavantsi's personality was somewhat inappropriate, but didn't know how to correct it... It seems that she really is not good at educating children?
"However, even if you don't know how to teach a child, in a world where monsters and demons are emerging, you should at least teach her—"
Respect the strong, respect power, instead of acting recklessly and without regard for consequences...
