803 Arturia and King Arthur
Normally, kings of subjugation are basically stupid, or to put it harshly, stupid. People such as Qin II, King Zhou, and Adou, although they are widely known to have different attributes, for example, some are cruel and some are cowardly, but they have one thing in common, that is, they do not understand the country, and they are short-sighted about politics. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are short-sighted and stupid.
Artoria is also a king of subjugation, so is she equally stupid?
Of course not!
Because in addition to being the king of subjugation, she is also the founding king of the country, and she has created a mythical empire, known as the God of War, and is enough to rank among the top five eternal kings in the entire British history!
If such a person is said to be stupid or have a low IQ, then it is really difficult to find smart people in this world. How can a fool with a low IQ rule the top of Great Britain? Even if this Great Britain is only as big as a province of China, even if the wars of this era are mostly rampant and make people want to complain, but wars are wars after all, and empires are always empires. If you want to stand on this pinnacle, you can't do it casually.
What's more, when Artoria first became king, her country was in dire straits. Not only were there foreign enemies everywhere, even internally it was not united, but in just ten years, she managed to make the country united, flatten France in the east, and destroy Rome in the west.
If someone really thinks a fool can do it, it can only be said that there are too many fairy tales.
Artoria is indeed naive, strictly abides by the spirit of chivalry, is upright, never plays tricks, and is extremely idealistic, but in fact she is not stupid at all, and can even be said to be quite smart. Otherwise, let alone being king, she might not even be able to hide her own gender.
After all, she was living in a knight's house at that time, and her status was not high, and she could even be said to be similar to a companion. Under such circumstances, it is undoubtedly difficult to conceal her real gender, but she did it, which is enough to show that her IQ is not low... If someone doesn't believe it, you can try pretending to be a girl. Let alone fifteen years, if you can hide it for fifteen days, you are enough to be called a peerless genius of Zhibi Kongming, of course, Hideyoshi is not counted.
It's just that Arturia's IQ is largely covered up by her stupidity, so people can only see her natural stupidity, but ignore her wisdom.
"You mean, you knew for a long time that the person who stole the scabbard was your sister?" This should have been a shocking thing, and Lin Luo thought it was incredible when he heard it just now, but when he asked, he found that he was surprisingly calm.
Lin Luo didn't know if it was because he had seen too many violations, so he already had immunity, or if he subconsciously expected this would be the case.
Artoria nodded, "Merlin also said at the beginning that the scabbard is very important to me. On the battlefield, as long as I hold the scabbard, I will never be injured. Even if I am injured, I will recover quickly. As you said that day, the scabbard is my most invincible shield. I always carry it with me, never leave it..."
"If that's the case, why was it stolen?" If there was a third person present, most people would think that Lin Luo's question was really idiotic. Since it was stolen, the owner would certainly not know, so why would there be any reason? But Lin Luo didn't think so, and Artoria obviously understood what he meant.
"When my sister came to look for me that day, I was staying in the room with Guinevere, and the scabbard was also in my room, but when my sister left, the scabbard was gone. Guinevere would not do such a thing, and I left her once during our stay, so..."
"So, obviously Morgan stole the scabbard, and you always knew that, didn't you?"
Arturia nodded, "I only found out after the scabbard was lost. My sister used Guinevere to push me away and found the time to steal the scabbard. Bedivere has been blaming herself for not fulfilling her duty as a knight, but she didn't know that it was actually because I was unprepared..."
"It's not that you're defenseless, you just didn't take precautions, or you don't want to take precautions at all." Lin Luo interrupted her and looked at her with burning eyes, "Since you know Morgan's thoughts and know that she has been trying to 'deal' with you, then you should know that she came to you for no reason. Just like this time, she came here as soon as I became the palace minister. You, in fact, came to see if I would pose a threat to her. When I left the palace three days ago, Mordred came to me, and I think that at that time, I had probably already been under Morgan's eyes, and maybe he even pryed into my information."
"What do you want to say?" Arturia asked.
Lin Luo picked up the wine glass on the table, played with it and said, "My little trick is a miracle in your eyes. The knights of the round table regard me as a magician, but not everyone thinks so. At least you should know that I am not a magician."
Lin Luo looked at the girl and said in a deep voice, "Because the only known magician in this world is Merlin. He is mysterious and powerful. Others fear him and dare not approach him, but you are different. Merlin is your guide and has assisted you. No one knows him better than you. Of course you can see that I am at most similar to him in vision. But in terms of strength, let alone Merlin, even many of the Knights of the Round Table under you are stronger than me. , obviously not too difficult."
"..." Artoria didn't speak.
Lin Luo continued: "You obviously know Morgan very well. You knew that she would come to me today, so you dragged Lancelot and Bedivere to this party. On the surface, you wanted to eat, but I know that a king like you who would rather sacrifice himself for the sake of the country cannot have such a simple reason. You are probably afraid that Morgan will be bad for me, so you made this arrangement. First, it can confuse her eyes. ?”
"..." Artoria moved her mouth, but still didn't speak.
"The party was very successful. Whether it was the magic I showed or the little story I told before, it had a major impact on Morgan. Like everyone else, she probably thought that I was a magician of the same level as Merlin. Even if she wanted to get rid of me, she had to think about her own weight, whether she was qualified enough to fight against the magician."
There was a hint of sneer on Lin Luo's face, but then he sighed, "Others only think that King Arthur has unparalleled bravery, but they don't know that King Arthur's mind is also extremely delicate. This is of course, because the king is a girl. Although she is innocent and honest, she also knows that the world is not innocent. Since she knows Morgan so well, and since she knows how to deal with Morgan, are you right?"
"..." The girl was still silent, but her eyes had wandered a bit.
"If you don't speak, you are obviously acquiescing. From this, I can also conclude that if you don't know Morgan's every move, you can at least know about it. Of course, this is not the wariness that arose after the scabbard was lost, but after knowing Mordred's life experience. Therefore, you should have known last time that Morgan came to you mostly because of the scabbard. You knew it but didn't take precautions. What is the reason for this?"
"...I'm not mistaken. You don't have as powerful magic as Merlin, but maybe you have insight and wisdom that even Merlin can't match." Arturia finally spoke.
"That's an honor for you. I can think of so many things, just because I have a certain understanding. Even if I haven't seen some things, it's not difficult to unravel the fog as long as I think about it." Speaking of this, Lin Luo suddenly sighed, "I've been wandering around the king's city for the past three days. People talk about King Arthur the most, but not all of them are good. At least I can hear one or two bad words about King Arthur every day... What do you think?"
"My lord, I don't need feelings." Artoria replied indifferently.
Lin Luo asked, "Wang without emotion, isn't that like a machine?"
"This is the only way to protect the country and the people." The girl answered without hesitation.
"The king has no emotions, just like a machine. How can a machine know what the people want? The king only exists to protect the country and the people. It is no different from a slave. How can a slave lead the people?" Lin Luo asked.
"Do you think so?" The girl also asked.
"It's not what I think, but what the people are talking about." Seeing Artoria's still indifferent expression, Lin Luo suddenly sighed, "Now I somewhat understand the significance of Morgan stealing the scabbard."
"What?"
"Being a king without feelings like a slave is too painful. With the scabbard protecting you, you will never grow old and die. This pain will last forever. Morgan really loves you. She wants to possess you and of course she wants to liberate you. As long as you lose the scabbard, your immortality will be broken, and you will die one day. After you die, naturally there will be no pain."
When Lin Luo said here, he has come to the girl. "You know JP Morgan, probably also know her thoughts, so you don't prevents her ... No, I should change to say that King Arthur will not let Morgan stole the scabbard for the country and the people, but if it is a girl named Altricya, it is not necessarily. The collision contradicts each other, because this contradiction allows JP Morgan to take advantage of it. Do you say I am right? "
Lin Luo looked directly into the girl's eyes and asked awe-inspiringly.
