Salisbury is located in the southwest of Britain. To get to Salisbury from Cornwall on the seaside, you need to cross the vast southern plains. If you take the straight national road, you can reach your destination in about two days.

But Ize Shan took Artoria Custer through the forest paths, going in circles, and it was estimated that it would take a week to reach Salisbury.

"During this period, it's a good opportunity to teach the basics of magic and swordsmanship." Izawa Sugi said.

Artoria Custer said seriously: "Okay, I will try my best to learn."

Izawa Sugi started by teaching the basic definition, concepts, magic circuits, and precautions when using magic.

"…The more people know about a mystery, the faster it loses its power. In human society, all magicians are exploring the knowledge and shadows of the past, and are gravediggers walking in history."

"Of course, this is human magic. You are a fairy from paradise. The source of your power is not fairies, but it is not history or mystery either. You must have your own power."

Ize Shan comforted the girl: "When you become an adult and start your pilgrimage, you will definitely find the power that is originally yours. What you need to do now is to learn how to use it. When your power appears, you can use magic directly."

"As for the experience... I'll cast an illusion on you later and synchronize the feeling I have when I use magic with you, so you can be mentally prepared and avoid feeling unsure when you use it yourself."

So Artoria Kaster fell into a life of drawing spells and runes on the ground with branches every day.

Even though her painting was crooked and the technique didn't work, she was still very happy.

Gaining knowledge, listening to some interesting stories from Izawa Sugi, and seeing new sights is certainly better than living in a village in Cornwall!

As night fell that day, the girl collected fallen leaves and built a fire as she had done in the past few days.

After reviewing the techniques she learned today, the girl stretched her body, took out a game console similar to a handheld game console, and started playing with great interest.

Artoria Custer was having a great time playing the game. There were several hardworking rabbits guarding carrots on the game console. This tower defense game from the future opened the door to a new world for the girl.

"Ahhh my radish!"

Seeing her radish being bitten to the last drop of blood, the blonde girl screamed.

Ize Sugi was throwing branches into the fire, and when he heard Artoria's scream, he smiled.

"Lost again?"

This is the game console that Izawa Sugi left in Tenno-yon. There are many single-player games stored in it, and the battery is still sufficient. Izawa Sugi gave the game console to the girl to play with during his spare time.

"Poor carrot, it was eaten by a monster."

Artoria Custer put down the game console in her hand. She didn't rush to start the next game. Instead, she said with a sigh and melancholy tone: "This is the game console of Pan-Human History... Speaking of which, from time to time, the Fairy Kingdom has things from Pan-Human History drifting in. There are many imitations in those big cities, such as cathedrals and the like."

She asked cautiously and uncertainly, "Gol, do you think there will be game consoles in the Fairy Kingdom in the future?"

"will not."

"…Are you so sure? Don't ever say it's because you destroyed the world."

"Haha, no, the game console needs electricity to turn on, and there is no power grid in Fairyland. Once the battery runs out, the game console won't turn on."

Ize Shan roughly explained the principle of power generation. "Electricity is a clean energy. With energy, new productivity and classes will promote social development. However, since the entire Fairy Kingdom is controlled by Queen Morgan, the country has no way to develop."

After learning about the Fairy Kingdom during this period, Izawa Sugi came to the conclusion: "This is a rigid country, almost frozen in history and time. Even if it develops for another 10,000 years, it will remain the same as it is now."

Artoria Custer was silent for a moment, then said softly, "You hate things that never change."

"Isn't this inevitable?" Izawa Shan chuckled and said, "Life and death cycle, the old and the new, the new wave pushes the old wave, it's too scary to have something that never changes."

Artoria thought for a moment and said, "Is this the reason why the mystery of pan-human history will come to an end? Because the gods or immortal species remain unchanged?"

"Yes and no. The reasons are very complicated. I will tell you about human history later."

Ize Shan organized his words and said cautiously, "There is an old saying in the East that a morning mushroom does not know the new moon and full moon, and a cicada does not know spring and autumn. The lifespan of fairies and humans is very different. I look at the world from a human perspective, so I naturally find it scary that the world remains unchanged within a human lifespan of 100 years."

"But you are a fairy. I don't know the future and way out of fairies."

"Artoria Custer, you are a fairy from Paradise. You are here to save these hopeless bastards. You need to find the future of the fairy kingdom by yourself."

The corners of Artoria Custer's mouth curved up in what looked like a smile, but then her expression fell.

"...Actually, I also find these fairies annoying, but I am the child of prophecy, and everyone has high expectations of me, so I can only do my best."

"It doesn't matter. When King Arthur pulled out the sword from the stone and vowed victory to his people and bid farewell to the mysterious, he didn't think about building a great cause. He just wanted to see smiles on people's faces."

Through the tiny paradise fairy beside him, Izawa Shan vaguely saw the scene of the fairy, who was not even as tall as his knees, dressed like a dumpling, standing in front of Knight Kai and giving him advice.

"Whatever you think, just do it, that's all."

Artoria Custer was stunned, and suddenly she burst into a violent cough.

What earth-shattering news did she see? !

She saw the tiny King Arthur wearing a white fox cloak. She saw King Arthur holding the white cloak and looking up... and King Arthur called the owner of the first perspective...

Father.

The Mr. Gore in front of you is King Uther, the father of King Arthur in Panhuman History!!

Izawa Sugi was confused: "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing. My mouth is choking."

Artoria Custer's eyes were a little vacant. She didn't want to reveal that her fairy eyes could see through lies. The girl quickly found a good excuse: "By the way, where's Merlin? I don't think I saw him after we set out..."

"He went to gather information nearby."

Izawa Sugi gave a warm smile.

Although Izawa Shan thinks that Oberon has been slacking off for fourteen thousand years and truly loves this world, Oberon is the white dragon Vortigern after all, and Izawa Shan cannot believe all the information he says.

Fortunately, Ize Shan successfully merged with Merlin and sent Merlin to explore the farm facilities and intelligence of Oberon in various places.

As a qualified leader, he should listen to both sides to make a wise decision. Merlin and Oberon happened to be incompatible, and both of them loved to tell lies and hide information, which made it very convenient for Ize Shan to cross-acquire information and take the opportunity to urge the other person to work well.

The boss likes workers who roll each other up the most. Roll them up! Roll them up!

Artoria Custer couldn't help but shudder.

Wuuuuu King Uther is so scary.

At this moment, Ize Shan suddenly realized something, and he said to the girl: "I'm going to take a walk nearby. If you are hungry, eat peaches."

He pointed to the package beside him, stood up and walked deep into the forest.

Izeshan noticed the Hawkmoth that Oberon carried with him, and he was looking for Oberon. Merlin, the number one tool man, had already started working, so of course the number one tool man had to start working. Izeshan planned to find Oberon to learn about the latest intelligence on Queen Morgan and various parts of Britain.

Izeshan saw Miss Blanca, a hawk moth, on the branch of an oak tree. He told Blanca that he wanted to meet Oberon. The hawk moth flew around Izeshan and disappeared in the east.

Izeshan recalled the map of Britain and calculated the speed at which Blanca flew away. He thought that if Oberon appeared nearby tomorrow morning, it meant that he had been staying in Salisbury all this time...

No way? Is Oberon so obedient? Is he still working on that world-destroying plan?

For a moment, Izawa Sugi actually felt guilty for bullying an honest person.

"Either he's just slacking off or he's a wimp." Ize Shan raised his hand and patted his face, reminding himself, "He's not a wimp at all, he just didn't take it seriously. Don't let your guard down. Be careful of Oberon."

Ize Shan deduced several ways of chatting with Oberon after meeting him, and also estimated what information Oberon would say and the purpose behind it. After thinking it all through, he slowly walked towards the campfire where he had rested before.

On the other hand, after Ize Shan left, Artoria Caster was about to take peaches from the package and eat them like she did a few days ago, but suddenly something came to her mind.

These past few days it has been Mr. Gole, um, but now I know that it is King Uther, the father of King Arthur in Pan-human history, who is taking care of me. To express my gratitude, I might as well cook something for myself!

Thinking of this, Artoria Custer got up and looked for flower mushrooms, wild vegetables and roots nearby. She collected these things, washed them clean in a distant river, and caught two fish. Then she happily stuck the ingredients on the branches and grilled them carefully.

When Ize Shan came back, Artoria Custer waved to him excitedly: "Gol, I grilled fish, flower mushrooms, and wild vegetables. Would you like some?"

Izawa Sugi stopped.

He was silent.

Well, since coming to the Fairy Kingdom, Izawa Sugi has never eaten any food from the Fairy Kingdom.

The transparent vision gives him a powerful ability to see through things. As mentioned before, in Izawa Sugi's eyes, the land, trees, fallen leaves, stones... are all transformed from the corpses of fairies.

In Izawa Sugi's eyes, the food grown on such land is also full of horror and terror.

In front of Artoria were a flower mushroom, two strings of wild vegetables, two fish and a roasted plant root.

But in Izawa Sugi's eyes, it was just a finger, half a foot, a mandible with a mouth, and a quarter of a face with an eyeball...

Even the branches that Artoria used to stick the food on were part of the corpse in Izawa Sugi's eyes.

So when the girl happily invited him to eat barbecue, Ize Shan could only: "..."

Little did she know that Artoria Custer's smile also froze.

She, she saw what Izawa Sugi was thinking.

Ize Shan took a deep breath, his expression unchanged, his steps still steady and calm, and he slowly sat down in front of the fire.

He was able to smile gently: "Did you do this?"

Artoria Custer uttered a mechanical "ah".

"Eat it yourself, I'm not hungry." Ize Shan said to the girl with concern: "You are too thin, eat it all."

As he said this, he calmly held a bone in his eye. On the bone hung a quarter of a face and an eyeball. He smiled and handed the [BBQ] to the blonde girl. "No one will come to the village chief to tell tales this time."

Artoria Custer: "..."

Ahhhhh, at this moment she would rather someone tell on her and steal the barbecue away!

why!

The girl wanted to beat her head and cry. Why did she want to see through Izawa Sugi's lies? Why did she want to see the truth of the barbecue?

How can she eat this?!

Thinking back carefully, during the days of traveling, His Majesty King Uther really didn't eat much, he just ate peaches with her, and she didn't notice such an important detail! !

And how could King Uther be so calm while thinking about the hundreds of ways the corpse could be cut into pieces, and at the same time calmly pick it up and say with a smile, "Eat more"?

Artoria Caster burst into tears. He was indeed the King Uther of pan-human history. This level of determination was enough for her to admire him...

Otherwise, I should just honestly confess that I have goblin eyes...

Just when Artoria's expression was about to collapse, light pink petals suddenly fell, and a white-haired young man appeared on the side of the campfire like forest mist.

Merlin looked at the two of them with a smile: "I think I came at the right time? Is dinner ready?"

Just as Ize Shan was about to speak, Artoria Cast jumped up like a rabbit, snatched the skewer of grilled shiitake mushrooms from Ize Shan's hand, and handed it to Merlin attentively.

"Teacher Merlin, come and eat!"

Ize Shan looked at Merlin speechlessly as he ate his eyeballs with great interest, turning his face away from the horrifying scene.

He even said disdainfully, "This is Artoria's dinner."

Artoria Custer smiled brilliantly: "It's nothing, just consider it as a thank you gift. Thank you for your performance in Cornwall Village!"

Merlin looked at the blonde in surprise. "It's great that you understand that I'm doing this for your own good."

The white-haired dream demon ate the grilled flower mushrooms in two bites and picked up a grilled fish naturally. He ate while complaining: "I am a warm-hearted big brother who is always willing to help others, but every time I help, I am always rejected. I have never understood why."

Artoria Custer thought of herself in Cornwall, her arrogant look and her villainous boss-like speech... How should I put it, she actually disliked Merlin a little bit!!

But at this moment, Artoria Custer could only maintain a kind and polite smile and said in a gentle tone: "Really? That's a pity. If you like it, eat more."

Merlin ate the barbecue without hesitation, but he still kept a grilled fish and a string of flower mushrooms.

"You eat too."

Artoria Custer shook her head: "I still prefer the peaches that Gol gave me."

Recently she decided to only eat peaches!

"Don't compare yourself to him. He is a plant that only needs photosynthesis to maintain its energy. You are still a child and need to be exposed to different nutrients."

Merlin realized that Artoria really didn't plan to eat anymore, so he ate the remaining grilled fish and flower mushrooms.

"Forget it, it's normal for children to be picky about food, but they can only be willful for a few days. They should eat well from now on."

However, Artoria was already distracted by something else.

"Wait, you just said Gol is a plant? But he said he was a human before..."

Merlin laughed, "Yes, he is so sure of himself as a human that he can even change the rules, but in fact his life form is a bit like the natural creatures on the planet."

After a pause, he looked at the girl meaningfully, "Just like you."

Artoria Custer looked at Ize Shan in shock, almost crushing the peach in her hand: "Really?"

Izawa Sugi admitted with a smile: "In terms of life form, it is indeed not a human."

"But my mentality and cognition have always been human, and they change all the time! Meeting strangers, making new friends, embarking on unknown journeys... I am changing every moment, and I am full of novelty and expectation for these changes."

As he said this, a brilliant and joyful smile appeared on his face, his long golden hair drooped naturally, and there seemed to be flames dancing in his golden-green eyes, making Ize Shan have a "sparkling" feeling.

"For example, I met a person with a very twisted mind. I felt sick at first, and then I felt sorry for him. But when he really embarked on a future different from his original destiny, I felt relieved and happy."

It is a thousand times better for Jiguo Yansheng to conquer the world than for him to become Kokushibo!

"For example, the last time I met a junior who I didn't know much about, I thought he was a love-crazed lunatic who wanted to destroy the world, but after getting to know him more deeply, I found that he was more sober and profound than most of us."

Uchiha Obito fell into darkness because of Nohara Rin, but what kept him going was not only the loss of his loved one, but also the despair of the whole world.

Ize Shan looked at the blonde girl again, "Just like you in front of me, I know King Arthur in human history. Although you have similar faces, your mentality and ideas are slightly different. Of course, you are both good children, and this point will not change."

Artoria Custer lowered her head, a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry to disappoint you. How can I compare with the king who shoulders a country..."

Ize Shan smiled and said, "You two are indeed incomparable. Although you are essentially the same, your backgrounds, living environments, and life experiences are different, which makes you different. Naturally, you are not comparable."

"You are different beings."

Artoria applied a little force with her fingers, but loosened them the next second, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.

The young man's words overlapped with his thoughts, and the echoing declaration warmed her whole body.

The affirmation from the pan-human King Uther gave the girl a strong sense of self-affirmation from the bottom of her heart.

“That’s what traveling is all about.”

"Why do we have to know each other before we meet? Every meeting is like a reunion with old friends. Every reunion brings new discoveries, new joys, and new memories that I should cherish and preserve."

Ize Shan looked up at the night sky that belonged to the Fairyland, and murmured, "Look, even the appearance of the night sky is different from that of pan-human history. Although this Fairyland is terrible in my eyes..."

“But this starry sky alone has a different kind of wonder and beauty.”
