Chapter 614: Two Kings
Artoria was a little dazed when she saw Mordred, and vaguely saw the familiar Mordred again. She even suspected that this man would rush up and give her a sword.
But when Mordred looked at her with curious eyes, she knew that this was not the Mordred who had just been killed by herself in her own world.
"Why are there so many people here?"
Mordred seemed to have just noticed that there were suddenly many strangers, looked left and right, and finally stopped in front of Artoria—for some reason, she felt that the person in front of her was about the same height as herself, and also had a head of blond hair. Girl, have a weird feeling.
"This is your father with the wrong gender."
"ah?"
Rin Tosaka, Shiro Emiya and others were all speechless. Although Ethan was right, don't say it so bluntly, right? And what is wrong with gender? There's nothing wrong with saying that though.
After Galahad also appeared, Ethan didn't say hello to the others. After bringing Mordred and Galahad with him, he led a large group of people to launch the plane transfer again.
Since the last time I went to live with Arthur for a while, the two of them have agreed on a fixed location - Arthur will set aside a special area in his palace for Ethan, and send guards to guard it all year round.
If Ethan wants to come over, he can be teleported directly to this room. As long as he comes here, the guarding knight has the right to meet King Arthur directly at any time and under any circumstances to report the news of Ethan's arrival.
Because such an arrangement was made in advance, Ethan didn't need to go to Merlin to 'land' first, and then notify Arthur in advance before rushing to Camelot.
Watching the guard knights rushing to report the news to the king, Ethan chatted with another knight by the way.
Although the appearance of a child is easy to be ignored by these 'adults', but because of the particularity of this place, and the Princess Mordred of the Kingdom is also here, no one really dares to treat Ethan as an ordinary child .
Regarding some strange questions from Ethan, for example, what new things has the Kingdom of Britain come up with recently? Although the knight was a little embarrassed, he still said everything he could say. As for the fact that the army had been replaced with new weapons on a large scale, he had some reservations and did not mention it.
Mordred, who had returned home, seemed very excited, wandering around to see what had changed at home.
Arturia opened her mouth slightly and looked at the scene in front of her in shock.
"Here...is Camelot?"
"It's amazing, so the legendary Camelot is so spectacular!"
Shirou Emiya, Rin Tohsaka, and Sakura Matou have all heard of Camelot, the capital of King Arthur in legend, but they did not expect the real Camelot to be such a luxurious, clean, and advanced city.
Artoria was a little embarrassed. The Camelot she governed back then was not so spectacular. Although it was the largest and most spectacular city in Britain at that time, it was far worse than the one in front of me.
The place where Ethan and the others are now is located on a high ground inside the palace complex, and they intentionally allow people standing here to see most of the city, so everyone can express such admiration.
The purpose of this arrangement is to let Ethan see the changes in the city as soon as he arrives, so he doesn't want to show off his abilities with his good friends.
It's just that Arthur didn't frighten Ethan, but frightened himself.
Just when Artoria was shocked by the majestic Camelot, a middle-aged man with some wrinkles on his forehead and his sideburns had obviously turned white appeared in sight.
Although no one introduced the identity of the visitor, Arturia almost immediately confirmed the identity of the man.
Arthur Pendragon.
In other words, the self in another world!
Arthur stopped in front of the crowd, then looked around strangely for a long time, and finally his eyes stayed on Mordred.
"You came back by yourself?"
Mordred rolled his eyes. After his father appeared, he didn't greet his own daughter the first time, which made Mordred, who was growing up, very upset.
Spread your fingers and point to this large group of tourists.
"Can't father see so many people standing here? How could I come back by myself?"
"Haha, although I don't know what you have learned in these years, but this energy is good." Arthur saw that Mordred's appearance had obviously grown a lot, and he didn't know how many years she had been outside; Several years have actually passed, and I haven't seen him for a few years, and I really miss this child: "This time I will stay a few more days when I come back, and I will also accompany your mother."
Mordred didn't make a joke this time, but nodded. The biggest reason she came back this time was to see her mother.
As she grew older, she also understood a lot of things - she didn't have to worry about her lifespan being shortened, even if she wandered outside for a hundred years, she could return to her youthful appearance when she returned.
But her mother might not have this ability. If she waited decades before going back, she might not even be able to see her mother for the last time.
Seeing Mordred running away like a gust of wind and disappearing, Arthur was not in a hurry to ask about Mordred's experiences over the years. Besides, if he really wanted to ask, there was a more suitable person present. Report everything to yourself.
Turning his head to look at everyone, Arthur greeted Diana for a while, and at the same time he also noticed the little boy who had been standing next to Diana.
"This...isn't it your and Ethan's child?"
No matter how you look at it, this child is inseparable from Ethan, but he never thought that the person in front of him would be Ethan himself.
"At our level, we no longer deliberately pursue offspring."
"Ethan?"
Arthur looked back and forth in surprise for a long time, and finally muttered as if he suddenly thought of something.
"Merlin said there's something fun to watch, so that's what he meant!"
"..."
Ethan had expected that Merlin was purely interested in watching the fun, but he didn't expect that he would notify Arthur in advance.
The two old friends complained to each other. For example, Ethan complained that Arthur has been getting older and older. Will he become the same as Merlin next time?
Arthur complained that Ethan actually pretended to be tender and pretended to be in a new realm, and turned back into a child. What kind of habit is this?
After doing this as an opening, Ethan looked at Arthur silently.
"You've changed a lot."
In the past, Arthur would occasionally joke, but he would never complain to Ethan like this. Rather than saying that Arthur's personality has become 'cheerful', it is better to say that Arthur is now getting better at dealing with various types of people.
"It was unavoidable."
"Yeah, actually I've changed a lot too."
The two walked aside, looking at the magnificent Camelot, Arthur began to introduce to Ethan what achievements he had made in these years.
In a way, Arthur was alone in the world, because no one in the world could understand the astonishing extent of what he had achieved.
As King Arthur dominated Britain, he began to climb the technology tree like crazy, and expanded his power to the European continent. No matter what magical things Arthur did, the Knights of the Round Table and the citizens took it for granted.
Even if Arthur achieved something again, everyone would not be surprised. Even if Arthur wanted to show off, he couldn't find someone who could respond appropriately.
Only Ethan can understand, such as popularizing health knowledge and even building public hospitals, training a large number of doctors and nurses, developing animal husbandry, improving the diet of this era, and creating a lot of life that will not appear in hundreds of years What an achievement Supplies is.
It can be said that Arthur has directly raised the country's living standards by several levels, and many plans have been formulated and worked hard according to future standards.
"What an amazing achievement!"
In order to do all of this, Arthur already had gray hair when he was still in his prime. Even if he is a king and has the resources of a country to support him, in order to better develop his empire, he still has to spend a lot of energy dealing with various things. All kinds of things, these energy consumption will be directly reflected in the body.
"You did everything you set out to do."
"No, it's still far away."
"Still not satisfied? Do you want to dominate the world?"
Arthur suddenly smiled brightly.
"Why not? The research institute has already produced the third-generation steam engine, and there have been breakthroughs in steel. At present, we have begun to try to manufacture trains and steamships. As long as the test is successful... then it is not impossible to unify the world."
Arthur took a deep breath, originally wanted to straighten his back to show his majestic posture, but then felt weak for a while.
"Maybe that's the last thing I can do."
Being busy with government affairs for many years has completely ruined his martial arts and his health has deteriorated a lot. Now the sword in the stone on his waist is really a symbol to show the majesty of the king, and it has not been used for a long time to fight.
Ethan nodded. It seems that Arthur has set himself the final goal. After he dominates the world, he will start preparing for the passing of the throne.
"Did you come here this time because you suddenly felt bored and brought your friends to visit me?" As the legendary King Arthur, in the eyes of many people, he is similar to cherishing animals, and it is very worth watching.
"Someone needs your advice."
"Her?"
Although the martial arts had been abandoned, his observation ability was much stronger. Arthur had already noticed the little girl next to him.
"Who is this little girl? Why do you need me to enlighten you?"
Ethan suddenly laughed happily. If he wasn't too short to pat Arthur's shoulder, he would have slapped Arthur hard twice.
Now, he gave Arthur a very bright smile, and then told him: "This little girl is actually you, and she is King Arthur from another parallel world."
