Artoria Custer is a weak paradise fairy.
Although Artoria has made great progress in swordsmanship, magic, runes, strategy, and intelligence under the guidance of three evil teachers, she is still very weak.
The reason is simple. When he was training in Merlin's illusion, he would use illusion to [simulate] his enhanced physical strength and magical power after training to fight.
For example, if Artoria's magic has reached 10 in the illusion, her magic power in the real world is still weak, only 1 or 2.
What Artoria learned from the illusion cannot be performed in reality.
When facing an enemy attack, she can just chop it with a sword in the illusion, or fight back with magic, but in reality, she can only duck and dodge, and she has to worry about not dodging fast enough and being hit by a combo from the enemy.
The power in the illusion and the weakness in reality brought a huge cognitive difference to Artoria and also added a lot of trouble to her practice.
But whether it is Izawa Sugi or Merlin, they are still working tirelessly to enhance the girl's awareness of power in the illusion world.
Artoria didn't understand why this was done, but luckily she had a third teacher to ask for advice.
She clutched her staff tightly. "Oberon, I'm going crazy!"
The girl was a little dazed: "Yesterday at the game, I thought I could kick my opponent away, but I almost broke my bone..."
"If this happens a few more times, I'm afraid I'll be killed by this difference in internal and external cognition!"
Her tone was serious. "Why? Why would either Merlin or Gol increase my power and awareness in the genjutsu?"
What can Oberon say? Who said that the Paradise Fairy is such an awesome existence? Just by ringing the bell, he can gain huge energy and instantly go from a rookie to a legend.
Merlin and Ize Sugi's training is actually a preparation for Artoria to ring the bell in the future, so that after the girl's strength triples, she can master the huge power at the fastest speed and use it skillfully.
So Oberon could only smile and say, "Because Merlin is a bastard, he wants you to be in trouble!"
The corners of Artoria's mouth twitched, and she turned her eyes and whispered, "Merlin said he wanted to talk to you alone."
Oberon said without thinking: "Who wants to talk to such a funny person? Maybe I will become the funny person in the next second."
Artoria said in an innocent tone, "If, I mean if, I told Mr. Merlin that you can contact the staff, what do you think he would do?"
"Oh?! That's surprising, are you threatening me? Custer, you've changed!"
Oberon chuckled, his tone becoming uncertain, yet revealing a sense of pleasure. "It's okay. I can ask Gol for help. He already knows that I have a way to contact you privately."
"Tsk." Artoria's efforts failed and she let out a frustrated howl.
Oberon said coldly, "What? Do you think you are too weak? Feel the feeling of being a bug. And don't underestimate bugs. No matter how big a monster is, if its foundation is nibbled by bugs, it will collapse one day."
Artoria thought for a moment, "Eating away at the foundation?"
Ize Shan does not allow girls to use magic during the competition because magic is a spell unique to Her Majesty Queen Morgan and using it will result in the Queen discovering their whereabouts.
But at this moment, Artoria had a new idea. She could not use magic to attack the enemy, but she could use magic to strengthen herself.
"You don't need to keep the magic in effect all the time. Just attack the enemy's foundation and weakness at the critical moment, and kill them with one strike!"
Under this tactical guidance, Artoria strengthened the nerves in her legs, perfectly implemented the battle plan of "taking a beating for ten minutes, winning or losing for one second", and successfully won the first few qualifying matches.
Ize Shan and Meilin were both very satisfied. It turned out that this girl needed a little external pressure.
Then Artoria discovered that her course teacher had exchanged teaching content, and the person who taught her magic became Merlin.
"You need to learn some illusion techniques. During the competition, you can cast illusions on yourself and deceive your senses so that you can perform attacks that your body cannot actually perform."
The person who taught swordsmanship became Izawa Sugi.
"I can teach you some sword techniques that focus on lightning and speed. Humans are best at defeating the strong with the weak. I have a systematic sword technique that allows you to kill ghosts and gods with your own body."
Merlin's swordsmanship is somewhat similar to the power of strength.
He is a nightmare, and his physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people. King Arthur in pan-human history is the son of a red dragon. With the heart of a dragon, he can rely on his physical fitness to directly crush the enemy, but the current paradise fairy Artoria is obviously unable to do this.
Izawa Sugi's swordsmanship is more delicate and sophisticated, allowing the girl to dodge enemy attacks while killing enemies at incredible angles.
Artoria was overjoyed and made rapid progress in her studies. She was extremely excited: "This is the swordsmanship that suits me! Those big swings and slashes are useless!"
Merlin smiled and said, "I've made a note of this. Don't use it again in the future."
Artoria's eyes wandered at first, but then she realized something: "It looks like I will become very powerful in the future?"
Merlin continued to smile: "You are a fairy from Paradise. Think about the terrifying power of Her Majesty Queen Morgan. One day you will be able to reach that level."
Artoria first belittled herself out of habit. Could a country girl like her really do it?
But then the smiling faces of Izeshan and Merlin flashed through her mind, and she remembered Oberon's slightly cold words in the staff, which finally became chips on the gambling table.
They are all in!!
Damn it! Artoria's face was rarely a little bit evil, she thought viciously: I have to say no!!
Qualifying matches are not played every day. According to the competition process jointly formulated by the fairy clan leaders, there is about one match a week. First, the players in each city play, and then they go to other cities to play against other players. Finally, the top ten are selected through comprehensive ranking.
Artoria had plenty of time to practice, she became stronger and stronger, and finally finished the Norwich match with a good ranking.
Then she had to pack her bags and go to Oxford to play the game.
This time, neither Izawa Sugi nor Merlin accompanied her, and the girl faced the unknown alone.
"You're not alone, are you?" Izawa Shan was not worried at all. "Doesn't Oberon always keep an eye on you? Merlin can communicate with you in his dreams, and you even have my spell with you, so I can be by your side at any time."
Ize Shan didn't look like a parent who was worried about his child going away. He waved and said goodbye to Artoria casually, "Go ahead. If you have the energy, you can talk to Bogd. He seems to want to overthrow Woodwards and become the patriarch of the Fang Clan. If you can persuade him to come over, you can arrange for him to be the head of the Londinion Legion in the future."
Artoria's face wrinkled into a ball. She had no intention of refusing at all. She could only think worriedly about how to communicate with the Lion-Headed Bogd.
The fourteen-year-old savior began her first mission of pulling, dividing, and verbally persuading the target. Although the process was ridiculous and the mission failed, it also provided Izawa Shan, Merlin, and Oberon with some after-dinner jokes, but no matter what, she finally took the first step.
After releasing Artoria, Izawa Sugi began his own research on magic.
Ize Shan is best at human body refining technology. He plans to make a second god vest of Cornunnos. At the same time, taking the opportunity to make the vest, he also plans to make a paradise fairy.
Of course, the latter goal must not be discovered by Merlin and Oberon, so he covered his own paradise fairy-making plan with the cover of making a [Witch Body Fragment Resonator].
...Oh, if conditions permit, Ize Shan doesn't mind making a resonator to help him find the body fragments lost in the fairy kingdom.
"Morgan's in trouble."
Izawa Shan looked at the project in his hands, his eyes darkening, "After killing Morgan, I can openly use magic to search for the fragments of the miko across the country."
"As Oberon and Merlin believe, Morgan is the biggest obstacle."
Apart from Morgan, the other fairies' great magic was different from Izawa Sugi's magic system and would not cause much trouble.
Izawa Sugi had countless plans in his mind that were formed and broken, and after deductions and calculations, he finally came up with a very interesting plan.
"Anyway, this is the fairy kingdom, so let's do it."
Merlin and Oberon are creatures from dreams, so it should be okay for him, a master dream maker, to give them a beautiful dream, right?
Tiamat said his dream was good!
Time passed as everyone took action. Artoria played ranked matches for another two months, and at the end of the year she set off for the northern city of Edinburgh.
Although the relationship between the northern elves and Queen Morgan is very tense, the leader of the northern elves, Knokleina, also joined the Camelot Tournament plan because she wanted to select a group of outstanding warriors to fight for her.
Artoria naturally got to know this self-centered, proud and assertive Queen of the North. Nokrena admired Artoria very much. Although her power was very low, her words and deeds were full of indescribable confidence and pride.
"Join me! As the lord of the northern fairies, my power is to share my strength with my subordinates. You just lack magic power. As long as you join the northern fairies, I can share my power with you, and you will immediately become a powerful fairy!"
Artoria gave an awkward but polite smile.
"I have no interest in weeding and watering chocolate fields every day, and I don't want to eat chocolate for three meals a day!"
"You, a guy who eats peaches for three meals a day, have no right to refute me!"
The Queen of the North, who had long pink hair, honey-colored eyes, and a delicate and beautiful face, suddenly gave up. "Forget it. I can see that you have your own goals. I won't force you."
"But! I'm warning you! Don't even think about opening a casino in Edinburgh!!"
Artoria said seriously, "The casino has nothing to do with me."
"Ha, don't think I don't know. I heard that the casino owner has put all the casinos on the table in order to bet on you to win." Noklena snorted coldly, "You are so proficient in mahjong and dice, how could the casino have nothing to do with you?"
Artoria's expression was indescribable: "This, this is just my daily life..."
Nokrena ignored Artoria's weak defense and continued, "The northern fairies are all my subordinates. The magic power they used as a bet was allocated by me. If they lose, my magic power will decrease at the same time. I will not allow this to happen!"
"…Why not use the chocolate field as a bet? For example, whoever loses must provide a certain amount of chocolate?"
"Huh? That's a good idea! Interesting, tell me more."
…
In the distant Camelot Palace, Morgan, wearing a crown and a black and blue woven robe, holding a staff, stood on the terrace of Camelot Palace, looking at the end of the distant sky.
On the table before the throne were some documents, the list of participants in the so-called Camelot Tournament.
Although Morgan delegated matters of the competition to the chiefs of the major clans, as the de facto ruler of the Fairy Kingdom, Morgan still collected the lists of contestants submitted by various cities.
After more than half a year of qualifying, the top players were almost all decided. The group of children purchased by Aurora and Woodworth were well taught by the fairy knight Lancelot. They were quite strong and occupied several places.
But the human body is ultimately weak compared to the fairies. Apart from the humans who have been specially trained, the most outstanding contestants are still fairies.
Morgan has carefully read the players' information.
Among them, the name of Artoria Custer caught Morgan's attention.
Izawa Sugi once speculated that Morgan, the queen of the Fairy Kingdom, was a great fairy who devoured Morgan of Pan-Human History and thus gained the memory of Chaldea. This is not wrong, but she was not devoured. Instead, Morgan of Pan-Human History took the initiative to transmit the knowledge she possessed to her counterpart in the Fairy Kingdom: a paradise fairy named Vivian, whose real name is Morgan.
Morgan, the previous generation of Paradise Fairy, wanted to save the Fairy Kingdom of Britain. Coincidentally, Morgan of Pan-Human History also did not want Britain to be destroyed, so the two Morgans reached a common goal: to save Britain.
Therefore, Queen Morgan in front of her knew the name Artoria. She knew that the real name of King Arthur in pan-human history was Artoria Pendragon.
"Are you this generation's Paradise Fairy, Artoria?"
Queen Morgan's emerald eyes reflected the beautiful sky of the Fairy Kingdom. She murmured, "You seem to be smiling happily. You have run a business in the Fairy Kingdom and have comrades who fight together... Do you like this Fairy Kingdom?"
"Is the fairy kingdom of Britain that I created a beautiful country?"
Queen Morgan also once had the mission of Paradise Fairy, but she gave up in the end.
Because she loves this land and does not want Britain to be destroyed.
"If you like it, let's protect this fairy tale kingdom together."
The originally cold and silent heart was beating softly. Queen Morgan lost her teammates and partners two thousand years ago, but now, she may welcome a new partner.
Even though she is a cold queen, Morgan's heart is still full of tenderness.
She inevitably developed an emotion called anticipation.
"I look forward to having you here, Artoria."
…
"No, I can't fight anymore."
Artoria looked at the intelligence data in her hand and sighed heavily, "I don't have enough strength. Even if I use magic, my body can't withstand the magic reinforcement for a long time. I calculated several times, maybe only up to fifteen."
Considering the previous rankings and the remaining games in the future, Artoria felt gloomy. She looked at the information in her hand in panic, her brain working rapidly.
"What should I do? How can I get eleventh place?"
The girl's staff was placed aside, and Oberon's voice came from inside.
"There is a solution that is not a solution. We can help you conduct a righteous sneak attack and kill the person in front of you. That's it!"
Artoria was very upset: "I refuse!"
"I'll go find Merlin to simulate the confrontation, and then ask Gol for sword support!"
Her emerald green eyes revealed a determined light, "I will defeat them fairly!!"
Hearing the girl hurriedly contacting Ize Shan with her staff in hand, Oberon, who was in the Autumn Forest, looked a little lonely.
He sat in a gap in the woods and looked up at the sky of the Fairy Kingdom.
Blanca, a hawk moth, lay quietly and obediently on the side with its fur on its side. Oberon gently stroked the moth's scales and murmured after a long time: "Savior..."
"Will the Fairy Kingdom continue to exist under the light of this star?"
Blanca said nothing.
"Oh, I always feel that I will lose again this time."
Oberon felt upset when he thought of Ize Shan's evaluation of him, that he was either a slacker or a loser.
He just couldn't sit still.
"No, I have to talk to Gol again. He promised to help me destroy the world!!"
