Chapter 103
She looked at the boy in her arms, his soft hair gently falling across his forehead, his high nose, and his already quite handsome features.
No wonder her "charm" had no effect on Lan Ze several times; it was to be expected, given that he had protection and the "traces" left by the Princess of the Root.
This is the greatest proof of the two beasts' doting love for this child. The magic in the Root and the Blessing of the Creation Mother Goddess —if it were a normal person, just sensing this would probably make them hesitate and not dare to approach him easily.
But... she's not a normal person.
"Perhaps I should leave something behind before I go." Kishinami Hakuno gazed at Lan Ze's face, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly a charming smile appeared on her lips.
I've got a great idea.
When Lan Ze slowly opened his eyes, he saw a box pop up in front of him.
[Unlock Achievement: Britain King, you are King Arthur, favored by the Beasts, possessing a special aggression towards them, and gaining the ability: Immune to Charm]
Lan Ze stared blankly at the square in front of him, then exclaimed "Holy crap!" in his mind.
Why did I suddenly have such a strange achievement out of nowhere?
Lan Ze turned his head and looked around. He was lying on the bed, but Kishinami Hakuno was nowhere to be seen.
"I really don't understand that woman's thinking." Lan Ze shook his head helplessly, then glanced at the sleeping Tiamat, got out of bed, and left the room.
In the hall, Artoria, sitting upright, noticed someone approaching from behind. She turned around, and quickly a beautiful smile appeared on her face as she softly asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"
"Hmm, it's fine." Lan Ze yawned, his eyes welling up with tears. He rubbed his eyes and sat down next to Artoria. He glanced at the breakfast on the table, then turned to ask, "Was this prepared for me?"
Artoria smiled and nodded.
Last night, everyone went to see Lan Ze, but only the upright King of Knights kept the promise everyone had made at the beginning and chose not to disturb Lan Ze.
She watched the boy begin to eat his breakfast, a gentle smile appearing on her face.
"I'm returning to Camelot today. Would you like to come with me?"
Lan Ze pondered for a moment, then hummed in agreement.
"Let's go together. I also wanted to go back and see Xiao Mo."
"I wonder how that child is doing now."
"She's quite good, probably because she's our child, so she's very smart," Artoria said with a smile.
Lan Ze was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Artoria.
This means... Lily already knows Xiao Mo's identity?!
"I know everything," Artoria continued.
"Xiao Mo is an artificial human, a child created using the blood and essence of the two of us and Royal Sister."
Lan Ze fell into a long silence. "Did Princess Morgan tell you?"
"No," Artoria gently shook her head, "It was Mordred herself who said it."
As she said this, a rare smile of amusement appeared on her face, "She said we can't tell King Arthur, but we can tell Artoria."
Lan Ze: "..."
My daughter seems a little slow-witted.
"Father King!"
Lan Ze returned to Camelot with Artoria aboard the East Starion. Someone had spread the word, but just as Lan Ze dismounted from his white horse, a clear and melodious voice rang out from afar.
Mordred tried to throw herself into Lan Ze's arms, but instead bumped her head into Lan Ze's chin.
Lan Ze has not fully recovered yet; the Holy Lance's corruption has only been partially removed, and he is now only slightly taller than Mo Zai.
"How could Father King have become like this?!" Mo Zai asked in astonishment, staring at the scene.
"Actually, I am your Father King's child." Lan Ze winced and covered his chin, but answered seriously.
"You're Father King's child?!" Mordred exclaimed in shock, as if a bolt of lightning had struck him from the background, leaving him utterly stunned.
"My Father King has other children besides me...?"
Just then, Artoria tapped Lan Ze on the back of the head and whispered, "Don't lie to people, this child will believe it."
"Is Father King lying to me?" Mordred looked up at her father, who was a little taller than her.
"Sorry, I was just joking." Lan Ze patted Mordred's head, then suddenly asked, "By the way, what are you doing here?"
Their return should have gone unnoticed, so it was rather strange that Mordred greeted them as soon as they entered the city.
"My mother brought me here. She just said you've already entered Camelot!" Mordred replied immediately.
"Mother...?"
Lan Ze was slightly taken aback, then raised his head and his gaze quickly fell on the woman standing in a secluded corner.
She wore a deep blue crown and a veil, but her figure was exquisite and sexy, instantly drawing attention to her.
It was Morgan le Fay.
She was looking at Lan Ze, clearly puzzled as to why he had suddenly become like this.
Then, looking at Mordred, who was completely clinging to Lan Ze and refusing to leave, a charming smile appeared on her lips. She turned around and quietly disappeared into the corner, as if she had never been there.
For this woman, detecting Lan Ze's entry into the city was not difficult. She was the "Lord of the Island," and it could be said that she was a god in this royal city. No matter where Lan Ze was, she could detect him if she wanted to.
While brewing black tea in the garden, Morgan le Fay noticed that Lan Ze, Artoria, and the others had entered the city, so he brought Mordred out to greet them.
"Let's go back to the palace first," Artoria said softly.
Lan Ze nodded gently, took Mordred's little hand, and walked towards the palace.
Tiamat followed behind her child the whole way, her gaze lingering on Lan Ze's retreating figure.
Mordred kept glancing back at Mother of All and Sajyou Manaka behind her, then looked up at her father beside her, and suddenly whispered in his ear, "Father King, who are those two people to you?"
She remembered that the flat-chested older woman behind her had previously asked her to call her "Mom," which suggested that she must have a very close relationship with her Father King.
What about the other person?
She seems very mature and gentle; could she have some special relationship with her Father King?
"Those two are..." Lan Ze thought for a moment, then whispered in Mordred's ear, "Your mother."
Mordred: "..."
The little girl wasn't very bright; after hearing Lan Ze's answer, her brain seemed to freeze, and she followed the group back to the palace in a daze.
As we passed through the garden, Morgan le Fay was already sitting on a stone bench, waiting. In front of her was an exquisitely carved jade table, and beside her was a parasol... These were the products of her alchemy. This woman knew how to enjoy life; besides Magic Potion, she also made all sorts of odds and ends.
At that moment, Morgan le Fay, with her legs crossed and only a small section of her snow-white calves visible beneath her court dress, looked up with surprise and said, "You're back."
Then, smiling, she pointed to the cups of black tea on the table. "If you don't mind, come and sit down and rest for a while."
Lan Ze gave Morgan le Fay a strange look, thinking to himself, "Weren't you just 'welcoming' us at the city gate? Why are you giving me this 'So you're back?' look now?"
Mordred looked at her mother with a strange expression; her small mouth was slightly open, as if she wanted to say something.
Then, when Mordred saw Morgan le Fay remove his crown and reveal that gentle smile, she immediately swallowed hard and shut her mouth.
Her experience told her that exposing her mother's true intentions at this point would definitely result in punishment.
Mordred could only tremble and cling to his Father King, too afraid to utter a word.
After everyone was seated, Morgan le Fay pushed out tea to each of them. Her fair skin seemed to glow warmly in the sunlight. She raised her eyes and smiled, "What has happened these past two days? Could you give me a brief overview?"
"And, the two of you are..." She glanced at Tiamat and Sajyou Manaka.
"Beast?" Morgan le Fay murmured to himself.
No wonder she sensed an aura on Lan Ze that wasn't hers; it turned out to be the scent emanating from those two beasts.
Morgan le Fay squinted slightly, curiously observing Lan Ze.
What on earth has this guy been through?
"Kishinami Hakuno did nothing to him; in fact, she ultimately handed the Holy Grail over to Chaldea."
Artoria gave a general explanation of the situation, and Morgan le Fay's face showed a look of realization when he heard the last part.
"So, Kishinami Hakuno's goal from the beginning wasn't this child, but Vortigern?"
Vortigern Kishinami Hakuno, who was summoned to Britain by Britain through some unknown means, wanted to devour the power of the demonic dragon from the very beginning. However, because the dragon's power was too great at the time, and because Vortigern's status Master would more or less threaten Kishinami, she remained in hiding, waiting for an opportunity.
That opportunity was ultimately created by Lan Ze.
After severely injuring Vortigern, Kishinami Hakuno, having absorbed the power of the demonic dragon, also finished off Vortigern.
"And what about this child?" Morgan le Fay asked softly. "Why did he become like this? Where did Kishinami take him?"
Sajyou Manaka took a sip of black tea and said softly, "He borrowed the power of the Holy Lance. The Holy Lance couldn't corrupt his spirit, but it did corrupt his body."
"It eroded his body...?" Even Morgan le Fay was somewhat taken aback.
Is this really not some kind of pedophilic fetish or something, Holy Lance?
Even Morgan le Fay had never heard of the Holy Lance eroding the body, let alone the mind.
"Royal Sister, you have many Magic Potion there, do you have any that can make him Magic Potion?" Artoria suddenly asked.
"Magic Potion?"
Almost as soon as she heard the word, Tiamat's eyes flickered, and she instantly seemed to realize something, raising her Gilgamesh eyes.
"Did you make the Magic Potion before?" Tiamat asked.
"The Magic Potion from before...?" Morgan le Fay repeated, glancing at Lan Ze subconsciously, before a faint smile quickly appeared on his face.
"If you're referring to the Magic Potion I gave to Lan Ze before, then it was indeed brewed by me."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Since we have guests, if you two don't mind, I'll show you around my Magic Workshop."
"Have you concocted a lot of Magic Potion?" Sajyou Manaka asked.
"Yes, quite a lot." Morgan le Fay nodded slightly.
"Magic Potion that can make people grow quickly?" Sajyou Manaka asked expectantly, even standing up while supporting herself on the table.
This young girl's ideas about breast augmentation are almost out of this world.
Morgan le Fay paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's impossible to make someone grow rapidly, but temporary growth is possible."
Sajyou Manaka lowered her head in disappointment, but quickly cheered herself up again.
Thinking about it carefully, Magic Potion that can sustain me for a while doesn't seem so bad, does it?
Thinking of this, she immediately said, "Then let's go take a look!"
Actually, there's a prerequisite for someone to grow up quickly... For example, if you want your cup size to go from an A to a C, then your future cup size has to actually be able to become a C first... Lan Ze realized what kind of Magic Potion the big loli wanted, and he wanted to remind Aika several times, but in the end he held back.
Forget it, I won't discourage her. Let's give her a beautiful fantasy.
They toured the Magic Workshop for a while, and eventually, Morgan le Fay gave them several bottles of Magic Potion of different colors. This woman's temper didn't seem as vicious as recorded in history; at least for now, she seemed quite gentle.
"I really have to go back this time, otherwise it will get dark soon." Sajyou Manaka looked up at the sky, which had unknowingly darkened, and suddenly murmured to herself.
She had obtained the "growth" Magic Potion she wanted and couldn't wait to go back and test its effects.
"Aaaa." Tiamat nodded slightly, quite satisfied.
The Magic Potion in her hand were all quite brightly colored, Lan Ze spotted a very familiar pink potion among them... It seemed to be the Magic Potion had been accidentally mixed into the fish soup earlier.
Having obtained what they wanted, both beasts bid farewell to Lan Ze with satisfaction and returned to Tokyo first.
After all, it would take them a while to get back, while Lan Ze only needed to "exit the game".
"Speaking of which, you do know quite a lot of women."
After watching Sajyou Manaka and Tiamat leave, Artoria suddenly murmured something.
With a thoughtful expression on her face, she continued:
"If I'm not mistaken, that girl was the Princess of the Root, right? And the other woman... although I don't recognize her, judging from her Spirit Origin, she's probably a main god... no, maybe even Creation God god-level Spirit Origin."
"How do you know such an amazing woman?" Artoria tilted her head slightly and asked with a curious expression.
