Chapter 173

Back then, the First Emperor, who unified China, was just an ordinary child.

"Who could have imagined that a hostage in an enemy country could become a future Eternal Emperor of all time?" Wei Gong exclaimed in admiration.

When they first met, the other person was a somewhat frail and adorable little fellow.

Living in the Zhao State for nine years made him extremely withdrawn and insecure.

Fortunately, under his tutelage, the world became increasingly filled with the domineering majesty of an emperor.

Even the way they looked at him changed from initial fanatical worship to an increasingly ambitious desire to conquer everything.

Even though he never refers to the other person as his teacher, he still feels that the other person is his proudest student.

The First Emperor replied with utmost humility, "It is all thanks to you, sir."

"I'm just an assistant; you have to work hard enough yourself."

Wei Gong recalled the news he had seen earlier and laughed, "I'm too tired, I really don't want to be in the limelight. Thank you for helping me refuse this time."

After countless years of fighting and working overtime, he now only wants to enjoy his retirement.

The First Emperor's earlier stern rejection of King Arthur's request for a marriage alliance had deeply pleased him.

In comparison.

Golden Flash was clearly just looking for trouble.

Xiao Mo is a prime example of someone who lets his father down.

Joan also turned to the dark side; who knows what she might do?

Even King Arthur seems to be turning to the dark side now.

Sure enough, it's this fellow Chinese from the Dragon Kingdom who personally taught him who truly cares for him the most.

The First Emperor smiled gently, "Rest assured, sir, with me here, no one can disturb you."

As the First Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom, wielding the Dragon of Human History, not even the gods of the Lighthouse can snatch the Master from my hands!

"Yes, you're still the best." Wei Gong nodded.

Only in the presence of this disciple could he feel truly at ease.

He instinctively reached out to touch the other person's head, but realized that the other person was a little taller than him.

However.

The First Emperor bent down slightly, allowing him to reach out and touch him.

This scene left Wei Gong somewhat dazed.

It was as if I could recall the little guy who was thirteen years old when he was first crowned king, filled with anxiety about the future.

At that moment, the other person also took the initiative to rub his hand against his.

Wei Gong sighed softly, "That little guy from back then is taller than me now."

At the same time.

Outside the residential compound.

Luo Ya stamped her feet and blew on her hands. "It's so cold!"

Snowflakes fell in abundance, transforming the entire earth into a vast expanse of white.

The sub-zero temperatures made her feel completely cold.

She wanted to buy a bottle of soy sauce at the entrance of the residential complex, but found that it was sold out.

I had to go to a farmers market further away to buy it.

As soon as she walked out of the market with the soy sauce in her hand, she saw a blonde, mature woman staring intently at her.

The other person smiled and said, "What, don't you recognize me?"

"You are... King Arthur???"

Luo Ya stared blankly at the other person.

At this moment, the other person was wearing a pure white down jacket, and looked just like an ordinary foreign mature woman.

There was absolutely no trace of King Arthur's imposing presence.

You got it right.

Artoria smiled and replied.

After announcing the marriage alliance, she was rejected by the Dragon Kingdom, which made her feel quite uncomfortable, so she went out for a walk.

As they walked, they followed the faint, lingering feeling they had for [Avalon] and arrived here.

I ran into this adorable little guy again.

A weak Avalon reaction was observed in him.

It was also hidden by the [Hades's Helm of Invisibility], a gift from the King of Heroes.

Their identity is clearly extraordinary.

"Hey, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Luo Ya almost gasped in surprise.

You can't believe you'd run into King Arthur in a market like this?

That's incredible.

Could it be that a bunch of Heroic Spirit also exist in the vegetable market?

"Walk around with me, okay?"

Artoria glanced at the fishmonger, the Celtic mythological Great Hero Cú Chulainn, and calmly led the way away.

Since Alaya released a series of revealing videos, the number of Heroic Spirit in Fuyuki City seems to be increasing.

"Okay, okay!"

Luo Ya felt her blood rushing wildly through her body, and her heart pounding like a drum.

This is the kind of companion who could stay with the high and mighty King Arthur, like an ordinary sister.

No, walking on an ordinary street like an ordinary mother and daughter felt unreal, like a dream.

I guess I'm still not fully awake!

As Artoria walked, she whispered, "What's wrong? Are you scared of me after watching that video?"

No! No!

Luo Ya shook her head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.

To be honest, when she first watched the video of "The Sacred Round Table Domain" released by Alaya, she was really frightened by that cold and ruthless Lion King.

It almost made her turn from a fan to a hater.

However, after learning that the other party was purely corrupted by the Holy Lance and turned into a god, and that it was all part of the Demon God King Goetia's conspiracy, he realized that it wasn't the other party's fault.

Without that bastard's attempt to destroy Human History, King Arthur wouldn't have become the cold-blooded and ruthless Lion King!

It's all that bastard Goetia's fault!

"Don't worry, I won't blame you. After all, it was my fault." Artoria reached out and gently patted the other's head.

The mere proximity allowed her to sense Avalon's presence more clearly.

This made her feel a little strange.

In the previous Singularity, when Nameless left, he gave [Avalon] to her.

However, she does not currently possess this Noble Phantasm.

In other words, it was later given to Nameless, and shattered in the final battle?

Even Avalon, which was said to Invincible defense, was shattered; just how fierce was that battle!

Could it be that Goetia truly succeeded in transforming into Gaia?

Artoria looked up at the leaden-gray sky and felt an indescribable sense of suffocation.

Only by becoming the consciousness of the planet itself can [Avalon] be completely shattered.

So, why is the fragmented aura present in this child?

Could it be that she is the daughter of an unknown person?

"You're not wrong, the one who's wrong is that horrible Goetia!"

Luo Ya quickly reassured her, "But it's alright, there's no need to fight anymore. Nameless should be able to defeat him completely and save us all!"

"Yes, he saved me again."

Artoria looked stunned.

That person has experienced countless fierce battles.

They saved everyone and protected the entire world, but forgot to save themselves.

Luo Ya asked softly, her eyes blazing with gossip. "Your Majesty, you must have been very happy when you were with Wuming back then, right?"

"The happiest time of my life was before I pulled the Sword in the Stone."

Artoria's azure eyes were filled with memories.

During that time, he received Merlin's instruction in his dreams at night, and was personally taught swordsmanship by him during the day.

It sounds so tiring.

But at that time, she didn't need to think about anything; she just needed to get stronger.

However.

Everything changed after the Sword in the Stone.

She donned the crown and became King Arthur.

On their young and delicate shoulders, they bore the heavy burden of the entire Britain.

Countless people are praying fervently for her to bring peace and happiness.

The immense pressure transformed her from a naive young girl into a fully mature woman.

Words like "dating," "playing," and "resting" completely disappeared from her life.

It was clearly a case of drinking poison to quench thirst, yet he still had to lead his weary army in battle after battle, allowing Britain to linger on indefinitely.

In the endless war, countless families are torn apart, and wives and children are separated.

Countless people began to fear her more and more.

Ultimately, Mordred's call to action spurred countless people to respond instantly, all in an effort to end it all.

Unfortunately, they had no idea that ending her rule would only bring greater darkness and turmoil...

"Your Majesty, have you ever regretted it? You were only fifteen years old then, you could have easily refused to be king!" Luo Ya asked curiously.

"As a king, there is no room for regret."

Artoria smiled broadly. "Don't forget, Nameless also embarked on the path of saving the world and protecting Human History very early on."

"Really..."

Luo Ya nodded.

The Giant Hero Emiya, whose name is sung by thousands, was just an ordinary boy at the beginning.

Ordinary?

Luo Ya's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously asked, "Your Majesty, would you like to come to my house and experience the meals of an ordinary family?"

King Arthur, being of high status, grew up in a noble family.

After arriving in the Dragon Kingdom, they stayed at the luxurious Fuyuki Grand Hotel and never experienced the life of an ordinary person.

Most importantly, it allows the stay-at-home guy in the family to also meet the other person briefly.

This is King Arthur, whom countless people long to meet!
