79. Slave Demons and Servant Spirits

"My brothers and sisters, my comrades-in-arms, and envoys from various clans, as well as Your Excellency."

At the center of the crowning ceremony, a spirited Uther, with a hearty smile, raised his glass and bowed to all the guests at the banquet…

"We gather here today for peace, for the future of Britain, and for the beautiful vision of humans and fairies living in peace!"

"I understand that perhaps you don't think I'm qualified to wear this crown, so you're welcome to propose it and compete with me. However, here I only hope that all our future struggles will result in 'peace'!"

Uther, trained by Morgan, was undoubtedly a wise and virtuous ruler. He fought for equality between humans and fairies, for the rights of humans, but ultimately, what he sought was "peace"...

A divided nation has no future, and only by working together and uniting can they nip the impending disaster in the bud.

Youse did not covet power; for him, it was more of a "responsibility" that he had to bear.

But in any case, now that he is about to wear this crown, he must fulfill this responsibility.

Beside him, his wife, the fairy queen Mab, whom he had married in a political alliance, looked at her husband… though he wasn't her human lover from back then, and there wasn't much love in this marriage, but—

She felt that Joseph was a very good person, a great person, a partner worthy of her trust and fighting alongside.

Cheers and jubilation erupted from the direction of the round table; even the fairies were clapping and cheering! They agreed with Uther and the bright future he had described!

In a future where all fairy clans are united and at peace, there will be no more barriers between them, and no one will be killed for trespassing into the territory of other fairies.

They will be free, free to live in this beautiful world. They will be equals, friends, brothers, and sisters!

"Well said!!"

Dongxue clapped approvingly and laughed heartily without any attempt to hide it, but that smile was fundamentally different from the cheers and laughter of others.

Yes, Morgan, who was standing nearby, heard it very clearly—that smile was less one of happiness and more one of schadenfreude!

This made Morgan increasingly uneasy. She glanced around restlessly, and noticing Morgan's thoughts, Dong Xue smiled softly at her with a slight upturn of her lips...

"What? Are you thinking about me? Or do you need me to help you understand their true feelings?"

Without Morgan's consent, Dongxue projected the thoughts she had gleaned through magnetic field power directly onto Morgan's mind.

The flood of information that rushed in at once was like a cacophony of countless voices exploding in her ears, and Morgan's vision went black... However, her strong will still compelled her to process the information.

Some were happy and joyful, some complained about how long the wedding was going to be so long-winded, some were impatient about when the food would be served, and some even commented on the bride and groom.

But Morgan's spirit was to capture even more discordant voices...

"Hmph, what king and queen? They're just a mere human and a dead survivor. What makes them more dazzling than me?"

Morgan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Aurora, the Fairy Queen of the Wind Clan, a beautiful and radiant fairy queen with a blessing smile on her face, but inside, countless flames of jealousy were burning!

And there are several other voices that sound similar to hers.

"Why should humans be equal to fairies? We absolutely disagree!"

"Following the Great Mother's wishes, and also killing this annoying Uther, and then stirring up a war, hehehe, just thinking about it makes me happy!"

A look of horror crossed Morgan's face. She opened her mouth, trying to stop it all—but it was too late, utterly too late.

With a smile, Yuther drank the wine in his cup. The next moment, the golden cup slipped from his hand and fell to the ground. Yuther's eyes widened as the terrifying, god-slaying poison instantly claimed his life!

This is the deadly poison that the progenitors of fairies once used to kill the Horned God, and killing humans is just a matter of a snap of the fingers.

Yuther collapsed; the soon-to-be-crowned king fell before his own crown.

Maibu's expression changed drastically, and the next moment, as if it had been premeditated, chaos erupted on the fairy side of the round table!

"It was a fairy! A fairy poisoned Yuther, killed them all!!"

"It was humans! Humans killed their leader and wanted to frame us and enslave us. Kill them all!!"

It was a simple and obvious attempt to sow discord, but for the innocent fairies and the equally innocent humans of this world, it was a reality they neither understood nor could see through.

Thus, the wedding venue instantly transformed into a battleground where humans wielded swords and fairies raised their weapons, and they once again began a fight to the death.

The mastermind behind all of this left the venue with childlike, mischievous laughter, leaving only Morgan to rush over and embrace his disciple's body.

It was too late; it was irreversible. Even she had no chance of finding a cure for the god-slaying poison.

Dongxue strolled over slowly, the fairies and humans along the way avoiding her. She came to Morgan and said with a light laugh...

"These so-called fairies are really interesting! They are pure of heart and have no guile, just like children. They perfectly fit the human fairy tales—only the person who made up these stories doesn't know a thing about them."

"The cruelest, most despicable, and most insane creatures in this world are children. Oh, children are always so cruel."

In just two months, Dongxue had already learned everything about the nature of the fairies in this world.

They were indeed as innocent and pure as described in fairy tales, without any concealment or lies.

However, the other side of such behavior is that they can commit all sorts of horrific atrocities without any regard for consequences.

Simply because they are simple-minded and do whatever comes to mind, and they would never think they are wrong.

Was the poisoning of Uther for some kind of conspiracy? No, it was simply because some fairies disliked Uther, they hated humans... and some fairies felt that Uther, as king, overshadowed them.

How can I tolerate being ignored when I'm so glamorous? So, we'll poison people, we'll start wars, and as for calamities and the end of the world—who cares!

As long as I'm happy, that's all that matters!

In a sense, these fairies' ideas are very similar to those of certain magnetic field lunatics... but the difference is that even an invincible, despicable magnetic field lunatic wouldn't do such nonsensical things!

It's all just to make myself more "pretty" and more "special"...

Or perhaps they did something reckless for such a ridiculous reason as not being happy when they went out. It's so absurd and ridiculous that it makes my stomach hurt from laughing!

Therefore, Dongxue, who had already anticipated all of this, chose to remain a spectator.

She wasn't worried at all about any resistance from Yuther, the local agent she had secretly supported, because he was destined to die.

Even if you escape this assassination attempt, there will be another one. That's just how these incomprehensible and absurd demons are. They will destroy anything they don't like, no matter the cost!

Holding Yuther's body, Morgan trembled, his eyes lifeless, completely captivated by despair.

As if to reflect this despair, her long golden hair gradually turned into a cold silver.

She should have expected this long ago.

Hasn't she already experienced it? She's experienced the irrationality of fairies, their madness and unbridled behavior, and their absolute—unrepentant nature, more than once!

Morgan looked up in confusion, watching the fairies fighting each other. Some were laughing, some were angry, some were hateful, and some were happy.

They ignored the corpses and attacked each other while fully armored.

They completely forgot that Joseph's body was still here, whether loyal or disloyal; they completely forgot that the remains of the king they served were still here.

Driven by hatred, pleasure, and simple desires... While humans are similar, they also have morality, concerns, and other constraints that limit their behavior.

Perhaps there are beings among them who are even more evil than fairies, but in any case, the human race will never be as...extreme as fairies!

This was true during the time of Bavanshi, it was true during the time of Youse, and even in the earliest times... it was even more so when they besieged the Rain Clan who raised them!

Morgan should have realized this long ago: these fairies never repent.

The humans at the round table were quickly annihilated by the fairies; they were unarmed and far outnumbered...

Most importantly, many powerful knights had drunk poison, so they were no match for the fairies.

Standing atop the knights' corpses, the fairies laughed triumphantly...

Meanwhile, Aurora, the Great Mother of the Wind Clan, turned her gaze to Uther's corpse.

Naturally, Morgan and Dong Xue were also noticed.

"She's here! Hang this witch!!"

"And that human next to her, don't let her go, kill her, but keep her clothes intact!!"

Undisguised jealousy and greed, human desires coupled with a naive attitude, are truly disgusting.

Dongxue smiled slightly as she looked at the fiercely approaching fairies, then gently raised her right hand...

A jet-black raven claw suddenly appeared with a raven's cry that echoed through the sky, instantly seizing all the attacking fairies—

Hundreds of fairies were captured and bound, and then drained of their bodily fluids and life like mummies!

Their dying screams were so piercing that they startled all the fairies in the hall. Dongxue looked at the fairy corpses with a regretful expression…

"What a pity...it's a waste."

She reached out and grabbed Morgan, looking at the lifeless, vacant Morgan, and laughed loudly…

"My dear savior, how are you feeling now? How are you feeling? Do you think that fairies are all beyond redemption? Do you think that they, who are incapable of atoning for their sins on their own, need some external help?"

Morgan's eyes gleamed, and he whispered...

"Just tell me what you want to do!"

"You are the agent we are supporting." Dong Xue's smile was incredibly bright.

"We need you to manage the fairies for us, and we will support you to become the Fairy Queen—but not in this world."

"You fairies are a race full of rich value. You are the embodiment of the concept of magic in this world, and you are the offshoots of this so-called Gaia."

The fruits you cultivate possess fairytale-like effects, the weapons you forge will have incredible power, or rather, wherever you are, there will be...

Even ordinary hills and rocks can acquire a kind of "magic."

Perhaps it's because fairies are needed to forge the Star Holy Sword...

Even if these fairies are separated from the current Earth environment, they can still possess the ability to "infect" the surrounding matter with spiritual particles, or rather, it is a kind of other form of illusory manifestation.

Like a race born from a fairy tale, and even more...

Let alone the "Yaling" among the fairies, who are equivalent to "gods" among fairies, they are not powerful... but their abilities are more concrete and powerful manifestations of fantasy.

“You have value not only in life, but also in death. The bodies of fairies do not vanish into thin air, but become part of the earth beneath their feet.”

"We don't need land, but we need the magical crystals formed from the corpses of fairies. They're excellent materials for crafting weapons, equipment, handicrafts, and many other products that can generate substantial added economic value. Especially your corpse, Yaling's—isn't it the perfect material for forging your so-called holy sword?"

“Even your reproductive method is fascinating. With enough fairies gathered, new fairies will naturally emerge from your environment… and you have no lifespan, only the option to voluntarily pass away when you’re ‘tired of living.’”

Dongxue's attitude was extremely enthusiastic, even to the point of being fanatical—

Just like when 18th-century slave owners first set foot on African soil and discovered so many black people.

Morgan disliked Dongxue's attitude, and even more so her eyes—those single eyes held cunning, self-interest, and what humans call wisdom.

"So, I'll get straight to the point," Dongxue said, waving her hand.

"This world is destined to be destroyed, but the life that lives on it may not be. We will choose a special land for you to live on in the new world, and in return, you fairies will need to serve our new nation!"

"We need you to produce goods imbued with 'magic,' whether agricultural or industrial. Your corpses will also be provided to us as materials after your deaths. And you, Morgan le Fay, will become our agent, the Queen of the Fairies!"

"The fairies will repent for their mistakes through labor and confinement... while we will acquire the goods we need and earn a large amount of foreign exchange. Isn't that a win-win situation?"

80. Kill all the fairies

"You want to enslave fairies?"

Morgan's gaze was chilling as she watched Dong Xue coldly receive...

"You can't go that far. After all, we're a modern country... How could we use such an inhumane and inefficient working system as slavery?" Dongxue said with a smile.

"Fairies are by no means our slaves, but merely our hired laborers. We will provide you with land to live on, a beautiful natural environment, and even facilitate trade with you."

It sounds nice, but when your life and safety are in someone else's hands, and you're forced to work for them passively, would anyone believe you're not a slave?

At least Morgan wouldn't believe it!

"These fairies may mostly be worthless and deserve to die, but I, Morgan, will never be your lackey!!"

Morgan clenched his fists and growled.

"Wow, wow, wow, that's exactly what a hero says!" Dongxue laughed and clapped her hands.

“But since Miss Savior doesn’t intend to be our friend… then we will follow the White Emperor’s orders, completely destroy everything about you, and then destroy this world.”

Dongxue sneered and issued the order without any hesitation...

"Fortress Central Command, launch the Nuclear King immediately!"

boom!

Before Morgan's eyes was something that slowly rose with a long trail of flame, something enormous that sent chills down her spine the moment she saw it.

"Let's choose the Wind Clan as our first target—the most rational, humane, and kindest clan!"
