Davidian's Holy Grail War

"I did force my way into the royal city before, so it's better not to go in. Otherwise, the lord might finally let me go, only for the queen to see me and get angry and wipe us out."

Muramasa made a joke, but after the joke, he still told Caster to control his temper and not to retort even if he was angry.

"I know, I know, you're just as long-winded as my old man."

As soon as Castor opened his mouth, everyone laughed at her. She forgot everything they'd told her to do; she'd just told him not to retort, and now she was demonstrating her inability to control her tongue.

"Fujimaru, take good care of your partners. After all, this is in front of the throne. If you do anything disrespectful, it will put the lord in a difficult position, and then he may not be able to protect you."

After Muramasa finished giving his final instructions, the others said they would wait patiently for Ritsuka and the others to return. Ritsuka also assured them that the three of them would definitely return unharmed and that they shouldn't worry.

"Alright, let's go, Caster!"

After saying this, Ritsuka led the other two forward; the royal city was just ahead. Here they would meet the Queen and the Lord, and decide the future path they would take.

Chapter 349 The Meeting of Kings

But the journey ahead is going to be tough!

Ritsuka and the other two were forced to climb the stairs for an hour before finally reaching the Queen's throne. Even with Ritsuka's amazing stamina, she felt that the stairs were far too long and ridiculous.

If someone wanted to rebel and storm this throne, they would have to make countless sacrifices to break through this staircase; this is practically the best defense.

"Kneel down and offer tribute."

"Worship, submit."

"The envoys visiting the throne held their breath, and the thirty ambassadors and one hundred officials remained silent. The king who expanded the territory, the king who established the fairy kingdom. This is before Her Majesty Queen Morgan, this is the majesty of Her Majesty Queen Morgan."

“The prophesied son, the magician from a foreign land, shall remember this: it is the Queen’s grace, it is the Queen’s blessing.”

The clerk's voice, as resounding as a great bell, echoed throughout the Jade Throne Hall. Only then did Morgan lazily wave his hand, signaling them to leave.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. I was clearly not summoned, yet you have all come. Ambassadors and officials are forbidden to speak. Those present who are qualified to speak are only myself, the lord, my daughter, the guests from over there, and..."

Belial jumped out from the side and said in a rather comical tone, "And me, Belial Gat, the Queen's special guest. Sorry, fellow high-ranking fairies."

Ritsuka and Leonardo da Vinci were taken aback; they hadn't expected to actually see Belial here. And judging from David's annoyed expression, he probably wanted to chop that clown-like Belial to pieces.

"Yo~ Junior~ This is the first time we've met since Olympus, right? What's with that expression~"

However, Belial was not yet quiet. Ritsuka, facing his taunts, simply told herself that she could not act rashly, after all, this was in front of the Queen's throne.

Morgan waved for him to shut up, and Belial obediently remained silent. Once things had quieted down, Morgan said to Caster, "Artoria, I give permission. Come forward and lift your head."

Artoria obediently stepped forward, and Morgan scrutinized her for a moment before saying:

"Indeed, these clothes suit you quite well. It's not right to always wear those shabby clothes. Since that's the case, I won't pursue David's crime. He just likes to do unnecessary things."

This rebuke left David speechless, while the surrounding fairy officials suddenly realized something—this wasn't the first time the Queen had met the Child of Prophecy.

"Is that the magician from another land over there, the Master of Chaldea who rose up to reclaim the history of humankind?" Then she looked at the boy. Morgan actually had a good impression of the boy.

Perhaps it was a shared sense of connection as saviors; she too had once strived to save this strange world.

Ritsuka bowed to her, simultaneously acknowledging his identity; his manner was impeccable. This pleased Morgan greatly; the boy had clearly thought carefully about how to present himself before arriving.

"I acknowledge your achievement in repelling the calamity in Norwich. Although it was meddling, I appreciate your hard work in defeating the calamity."

"Come and collect your reward. I originally intended to use the Fairy Kingdom's currency as payment. But your magical resources are spatial magical possession values ​​that are analogous to magic elements as quanta... QP, right? One hundred million should be enough, take it."

Morgan lightly swung his magic gun, and the storage device containing 100 million QP floated in front of Ritsuka. He took it with both hands, unable to believe that he had directly obtained 100 million QP?

After inspecting the items, Da Vinci couldn't help but blurt out, "So many? Is this some kind of quantum mint?"

"How could that be? I simply saw through your magic system and then created it myself. Alright, that's all I have to say."

If there's nothing else, then the audience is adjourned. Artoria, Fujimaru Ritsuka, do you have any further questions for Queen Morgan?

Please think carefully before you speak, otherwise, depending on the content, I may revoke your VIP treatment.

"Exactly, you lowly Master! You'd better choose your words carefully~"

Bawanshi also joined in the teasing, but David felt that her tone at the end was actually a reminder to Ritsuka and the others not to say the wrong thing.

Ritsuka glanced at Caster, just as he had predicted. Caster had backed down this time, so Ritsuka calmly took a few steps forward and announced that she had something to say.

"Shall you speak first? Very well, I will not mock your courage. You who have traversed five Lostbelts to finally arrive before this throne, speak your wish."

Ritsuka recounted the events of the past once again, including resolving the issue of the blank Earth and the anomalies that had appeared in the Lostbelt.

The collapse will occur in Britain, and that thing will eventually spread throughout the entire planet, causing Earth to collapse.

Although the reasons and principles are still unknown, Chaldea came to this Lostbelt specifically to solve this problem.

"At the same time, we have no hostile intentions toward this Lostbelt where the Imaginary Tree has been burned. Our goal is simply to prevent the collapse of the world."

Faced with Ritsuka's explanation and calm tone, Morgan nodded and said:

"I see. When the lord reported this to me before, I thought it was just a joke. Now that I've seen you in person, I truly believe what you said. Is there anything else besides this?"

"If possible, we would like to obtain divine weapons that can fight against alien gods."

Ritsuka boldly revealed the matter, leaving Bawanshi, who was standing nearby, completely stunned. Was this girl utterly reckless? How dare she say such a thing to her mother?

“That’s right, the extraordinary Grand Magic you unleashed on Olympus, the Holy Lance Rungominiad. I hope you can provide either a Mystic Code or a magical theory that can realize that magic.”

The surrounding fairies were also terrified. They actually demanded that the Queen provide what they wanted? This was utterly insane. If they angered Her Majesty, they would never be able to leave this place.

Upon hearing their words, Morgan merely laughed dismissively and told them that he did indeed possess the weapons they desired, and that their claim of coming to save Britain was no exaggeration.

"Nevertheless, I still refuse. May your pan-human history end in a miserable extinction!"

Her declaration immediately made Ritsuka's expression turn serious, and even Da Vinci was at a loss for words. The expression was too direct; there was simply no way to respond.

So they could only go to see David, but unfortunately David was in his transformed state, so he wouldn't show any expression to the people in front of him.

"The so-called 'collapse' that spreads to the outside world... to the blank Earth, is precisely the expansion of my territory that is about to begin."

I am the one who denies your history. I am your enemy, and therefore I have no reason to hand over the divinely forged weapons to you.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, and you proud newborn baby, if you wish to save your world, then defeat me! There is no other way to save your pan-human history!

In response to Morgan's words, Da Vinci simply asked if this meant a declaration of war. At this moment, Davidian finally spoke, offering only one word—"Yes."

“I am incompatible with pan-human history; if I want something, I will take it by force.”

Chapter 350 Conclusion

[They could have talked it out, but it seems like fighting is the only option left?]

Ritsuka felt helpless about the current situation. It turned out that, just as David had said, fighting was the only option they had.

Both sides were clearly capable of having a proper conversation, and they didn't come to this Lostbelt to defeat Queen Morgan.

"You are the same in this respect, Artoria. The hateful child of Ainsell's prophecy."

This year's final great calamity will likely lead to the destruction of the fairies dwelling in Britain once again.

However, no matter how many times they die, fairies will still be born without learning their lesson.

Even if all of Britain is burned to the ground, as long as my castle stands, the fairy kingdom will rise again and again.

Upon hearing her words, Castor couldn't help but ask his question for the first time: "Your Majesty, do you intend to protect only your own fairy kingdom and not the people of Britain?"

On this matter, Davidian answered on Morgan's behalf: "Her Majesty only wants to protect Britain; the fairies are neither worth nor necessary to save. Caster, that is your task."

"As long as there is the magical power stored within this throne, the great calamity is nothing to fear. Furthermore, only the chosen fairy can wield this throne."

You are chosen, unlike the other fairies or the foreigners over there. Neither a rebel nor an invader, you are the mediator chosen by the Staff of Choice.

"You fairy sent by Paradise, you have the right to criticize me."

Even if you fight me and cause a lot of bloodshed and sacrifice, you will not feel any guilt.

If you want to save Britain, defeat me and take the throne.

Try to fulfill that foolish prophecy; I told you long ago, you have no other choice but to walk that path!

Her words resonated deeply with those present, and everyone was awestruck by Morgan's imposing presence. The queen who had ruled the fairy kingdom for over two thousand years exuded a powerful aura that would make most people break out in a cold sweat.

"It seems the conversation has come to an end. I'm glad we were able to understand each other's positions through this chat."

Morgan unilaterally declared the meeting over, but then a clown suddenly jumped in to chime in.

"That's right~ Thinking you've built a good relationship through conversation and trying to solve the problem without shedding a drop of blood is just too disappointing!"

"Alright, so this group of people who have trusted the convenient excuse of human kindness or reason all along the way, negotiations have broken down. You don't actually think you can return safely, do you?"

Belial's expression turned ferocious at that moment, as if he intended to tear the three people in front of him to pieces on the spot.

However, before Ritsuka and the others could react or escape, Morgan's will materialized into a gravitational field that rendered Belial speechless.

He could only lie there wailing, wondering what was going on. Logically, shouldn't a breakdown in negotiations have led to murder?

"These people were all my invited guests before I left Camelot. They must not be harmed in the slightest; please forgive his rudeness. Fujimaru Ritsuka, the baby, and the girl from Tintagel."

As long as you remain Artoria, I will not consider you an enemy. As long as you have not rung the pilgrimage bell, I will forbid the lords from attacking you.

“However, once the bell of pilgrimage is rung and you step forward as children of prophecy, then you will be our enemies. We will regard you as enemies and raise an army to punish you; this is the will of the Queen of Winter and Lord Camelot.”

Morgan and David's alliance made everyone realize that there was no turning back; the only way forward was to defeat the two of them.

"One last thing, where did you take Mash?" Ritsuka asked the final question before the conversation ended. Morgan paused, then couldn't help but look at Davidian. He was actually hiding something from him? That was strange.
