I Will Eventually Become a Partner of Justice Chapter 266
It could be seen that she was really blown away by Merlin.
Just enduring.
Merlin muttered softly, "I'm going...that's the real trouble."
Shirou watched Morgan go away, turned his head to look at Merlin, pondered for a moment, and asked, "You already know about Sir Hector, right?"
At the mention of this name, Merlin's fluffy white hair couldn't help drooping a little. He said in a somewhat indifferent tone: "The path he chose."
"I ask you, did he really commit suicide, or was he forced to commit suicide?" Shirou asked.
"No one can force him." Merlin said, "Even if he is too old to hold the giant sword he used to have, he is still the top knight in Britain. He has no weaknesses, only Britain. "
"If Arturia belongs to 'Arthur' now, would things still go to this point?" Shirou asked.
"No." Merlin said.
"Why?" Shirou asked, frowning.
Merlin said: "Because Lily won't cheat, won't win people's hearts, and won't present herself as perfect. So it will make them feel at ease, and you will make them feel scared."
Shirou smiled wryly: "It's really hard to be a king, and it's even harder to be the king of a country that hasn't had a king for ten years...Being a wise king will make the free people fear; being a stupid king will make the expecting people angry .”
Shirou understood what Merlin meant.
Uther has been dead for nearly ten years, and this country has been without a king for ten years. And the northern kings have resisted Vortigern for ten years without Uther.
They had no king, and they were free for another ten years, and they held Vortigern without incident for ten years. They naturally think that the red dragon is dispensable.
And at this time, 'Arthur' pulled out the sword in the stone and came out. A bumpkin who appeared out of nowhere in their eyes was going to crawl on their heads to shit and pee, and they still had to humble themselves to this bumpkin.
How can this be tolerated?
If it is a puppet that can be handled, then it is okay to support it.
But this is not a puppet, but a sharp-edged lion, intending to eat up their rights, how could they not jump out?
"It was my mistake...it was exposed too early!"
Shirou sighed inwardly.
The speeches from all over the place and the hearts of the people who received them touched the sensitive nerves of Camelot and even the most powerful force in Britain!
Shirou...it's too early to show off!
He intends to win people's hearts, so it will cause a backlash, but Arturia's words will not be like this. Because she never wanted to be a king out of selfishness, she only regarded being a king as a good deed, and she would not provoke the sensitive nerves of any forces.
And any forces will not really regard her as a king, but only regard her as a necessity to defeat Vortigerm and foreign enemies. After the war is over, these forces will wait for her to make mistakes, and then pull her down.
And this is why Mordred quickly won the support of the kings when Artoria went on an expedition to Rome.
Easing conflicts is a science, and being a leader is even more of a science!
Shirou sighed, and then asked: "If Vortigern comes, what are the chances that we will defeat him head-on?"
"Less than ten percent." Merlin said.
"So low?" Shirou frowned and asked, "Are you lying to me?"
Merlin shook his head and said, "This is your last journey as the king's successor, and it is also the last wisdom I can bestow on you as a court mage—the vision of the Age of Gods. Therefore, I don't need to lie to you."
Merlin said: "Vortigern has pulled out the holy spear Rungomigniad, and with the power of the white dragon, he has plundered Uther's [Island Master] rank. He has become the [Natural Lord] of this island. ], to a certain extent, he can already be regarded as the restraining power of this island, the last [God] of this era. His power is positively related to the land he acquired, and at this time, he has already acquired Nearly 60% of the land. In this state, including you and me and Princess Morgan, in the whole of Britain, there are only two existences who can defeat him head-on."
"Which two?" Shirou asked.
"One is Cathy Paluge who absorbed [Evil] and turned into the fourth beast," Merlin said.
Shirou frowned and said: "You said that I have almost absorbed all the evil. If Cathy Palug transforms into a fourth beast again, I can no longer absorb its evil. The disaster of the [beast], I am afraid that it will be worse than Futi. Geng is even more terrifying, in the end, I'm afraid we will be killed too. So what about the second one?"
Merlin smiled and said, "The second one is what you have been worrying about all this time, that vampire, [Moon King]."
"Zhuyue?" Shirou's eyes suddenly narrowed into needles, and he lost his voice: "It... it really exists? Is it still in Britain?"
Merlin said: "Please don't worry. According to my observation, its real body is still in Europe, and what came to the island is only the body of its will."
Shirou frowned and asked, "What is it doing in Britain?"
"It's hard to say," Merlin said.
Shirou asked again: "Then what is the way to defeat Vortigern?"
Merlin said: "He who turned into [Nature] is already a god, and the more land he occupies, the stronger he will be. If you want to defeat him, you must take back all the land he occupies!"
"In the final analysis... this is still the king's war..." Shirou sighed, and then asked: "Let me ask, what will happen if Vortigern occupies Britain?"
"The Age of Gods will be revived, and will be rejected by the Seat of Primates. And this historical node will also become the Lost Belt and be cut off... Mm. Do you understand the concept of the Lost Belt? After occupying the whole of Britain, we will all disappear. You, who came from the future, cannot escape the end of disappearing." Merlin paused, then smiled: "But don't worry, I will definitely hide in Ava by then. Go Longli."
Shirou: "..."
The Lost Belt...
I have a headache!
Shirou sighed.
The concept of the Lost Belt comes from the second chapter of "FGO". The Lost Belt is based on a history of mischosen, misprosperous underdogs. It is "a dead-end human history" that was interrupted as an "unnecessary thing" and even abandoned by the theory of parallel worlds!
And the final formation of the Alien Belt requires the fantasy tree of the Alien Star God. And the lore belt without the fantasy tree will be eliminated by the [correct] pan-human history like a grain of sand, and will be cut off directly!
Shirou originally thought that if he couldn't defeat Vortigern, he would take his people to Europe.
But it doesn't work at first glance, once it becomes a Lost Belt and is cut off, it will really be a matter of death.
And Vortigern, who incarnates as Britain's [Nature], is somewhat restraining, the only way is to become king, and then take back the land he looted!
Other than that, only Fufu turned into a beast.
Fufu transformed into a [beast] is a more terrifying catastrophe than Vortigern. The only way is for Shirou to absorb Fufu's [evil].
But the [evil] that Shirou can accommodate has also peaked.
Once he absorbs the evil of the [beast], he will be swallowed by the [evil], turning into a monster that even Merlin can't deduce.
What kind of monster that is, is still unknown, but Shirou definitely does not want to become a monster.
Moreover, Shirou becomes a monster, it is still unknown whether this historical node will also be turned into a strange belt, and thus cut off.
So whether it is the way to go home or the safer way, it is to become the king, then regain the land taken by Vortigerm, and finally defeat him in one fell swoop!
