When Arthur woke up, it was already noon the next day. He still had two Holy Spirits to challenge, but his arms had been eroded by the Holy Spirits and looked like monster arms.
He got up and looked at the arms filled with spiral white light lines (the left arm also had purple and black light lines). He thought optimistically, at least, he would not need to turn on a light when walking at night.
Greenville sat aside, and so did King Arthur. They all looked at Arthur with strange eyes.
"What's wrong?" Arthur asked. Being looked at like this, he couldn't help but feel angry.
"Arthur, you are not human at all, are you?" King Other said as soon as he came up.
Arthur was stunned for a while. He had never told King Other about Morgoth. At most, he only told King Osher the story of the boy named [Arthur]. Arthur's story only ended when the King's Sword was broken.
That moment.
The story that follows is actually the story of [Android No. 9], the fake Arthur now wearing the appearance of Arthur.
"Greenvale?!" Arthur glanced at the therapist girl angrily.
"No, I didn't say anything." Greenville shook her head violently.
"...Okay." Arthur was doubtful. If Greenville didn't say it, how could King Other guess it?
"The container of the soul." King Osel muttered, "You are not a human at all, you are an artificial human like Patimo. You have no soul, so you cannot summon your own Holy Spirit in the altar of the sanctuary.
You don’t have a soul, but your body is a container for your soul. The Holy Spirits long for the container and want a body that can continue to move in the mortal world, so they keep drilling into your body.”
Arthur could only understand half of it, but he knew that it was not a good thing anyway, "Aren't the Holy Spirits all a group of spirits (photon thoughts body) that have lost their humanity? Why do you still want to get**---
---"
"Because the Holy Spirit also has passion. Although they have forgotten their memories as Knights of the Round Table and lost all their humanity, they can still vaguely remember the things they wanted to do most when they were human beings." King Osel thought,
"For this reason, they want to get a body that can move in the mortal world so that they can leave Avalon and go to the mortal world to continue to fulfill their wishes."
King Arthur's spirituality looked at Arthur: "Do you understand? Your body is the treasure they covet. The eternal Holy Spirit who has lost its humanity no longer knows what morality is. They will try their best to seize your body in order to realize their goals.
desire!"
Arthur couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine when he thought that the Holy Spirits competing for his body were inhabiting his arms.
"Is there no way to get rid of them?"
"No... Even if your arms are amputated now, they will still get in through your new wounds and cling to you endlessly." King Other shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect it.
It became like this."
Arthur frowned, trying his best to hide his frustration.
"Well, no, there is actually another way." King Other said.
"What?! What method? Tell me!" Arthur jumped up from the bed.
"That is...defeat five Holy Spirits and force them to overload in your body. Then...let them synthesize a new Holy Spirit in your body." King Oser said, "The reborn Holy Spirit will wash away the original
If you lose your memory, you will lose the idea of eroding your body, and they will become honest."
Can the eternal Holy Spirit still be united? This is also a new thing.
"But I have never seen the Holy Spirit successfully merge, so don't have high expectations." King Osel said with a straight face, "The evil spirits in your body are even more incompatible with the Holy Spirits. If you want it to successfully merge with the Holy Spirits,
Hope is even slimmer."
Arthur felt depressed for a while. But he did not give up hope: "There are still two Holy Spirits left. Let's quickly discuss the strategy for the next Holy Spirit."
Greenville looked at Arthur worriedly: "Before that, you need to eat."
"Let's discuss while eating." Arthur said, enduring the severe pain in his arms and walking out of the bedroom.
night.
Arthur lay in the hot water in the backyard bath, looking at the stone-paved pool. The stones were covered with red magic incantations, which was obviously a magic trick to heat the bath water. He leaned on the edge of the pool with his back and lifted his head.
At the beginning, we looked up at the starless night sky from the towering stone walls on all sides.
A little puppet without a soul. Arthur, who had found himself again with the help of Bedivere and Greenville, should have been relieved. But he couldn't be completely relieved. When he was told this, his heart still hurt.
What is the difference between me and humans?
How can I own my soul?
His arms were constantly throbbing, and the painkillers given by Greenwell were becoming less and less effective. Arthur tried his best to put aside those dark thoughts and use positive thoughts to suppress those things in his body that were trying to take over his body.
The Holy Spirit (and evil spirits) are all suppressed.
"If you want your body not to be taken away, your will needs to be stronger than the will of the Holy Spirits." Arthur remembered King Oser's reminder.
Fortunately, in terms of will, Arthur can definitely surpass anyone in the world.
Because, apart from his strong will, he has no other advantages.
"Arthur?" A voice interrupted Arthur's meditation.
"Wow!" Arthur was startled, thinking that Greenville was going to run into the bath (what a plot not suitable for children!), so he quickly shrank into the water, leaving only his head exposed on the water:
"Greenvale?"
"Don't be afraid, I didn't want to come in and peek at you taking a bath." Greenville knew from Arthur's reaction what he was doing in the bath, and chuckled.
She leaned against the stone wall of the open-air bathroom and sat down: "Arthur, are you okay? You've really pushed yourself too hard these past few days."
Greenville is worried about Arthur. This is a rare behavior for a arrogant young lady.
I don't know whether it was the heat of the hot water or other reasons, but Arthur's face turned red for a while: "...Well, I will pay attention. My body is now occupied by the Holy Spirit, and I have no other choice.
I have been rushing forward. After everything is resolved, I will take a good rest for a while."
"After everything is settled..." Greenville sighed. After the Holy Spirit thing is over, there will still be a war with the Hungarians; after the war with the Hungarians is over, there will still be a world war.
The [darkness] on the other side of the wall is something to worry about.
"When everything is resolved", what year, month and day in the future does it refer to?
This knight boy is destined to become a never-ending cog in the machine of the world's destiny. It will keep running wildly until the day when his function completely collapses and is replaced by the next cog.
He lived only for the moment when he died to fulfill his mission.
------That is, how unbearable!
Greenville sighed and whispered: "No. You owe me one more [reward]. After you leave this pure land of Avalon, you must pay the [reward] you owe me first."
"
"Remuneration? Is it ------"
"Of course you want to go on another date with me, you wooden knight!" Greenville said shyly, her footsteps already moving away.
