"To humans, she's a fairy, but to fairies, she's human... huh?" Morgan looked at him helplessly. "I never thought our first child would be born this way."
"If you have to say it, Bawan Xi is my daughter." Xi Jian deliberately said something strange.
"...You can't say that." Morgan couldn't help but hold his forehead.
While they were chatting, Morgan's hair had been combed and tied up simply with a thin black string.
She stood up again and stood in the hot spring, turning around to face Shiomi with her naked body.
Because of the angle, the blue lines on her lower abdomen were within his direct field of vision, causing Shiomi to involuntarily reach out and touch them.
The unintentional technique made Morgan let out a charming moan.
"You specifically let me see this. What do you want to remind me of?" Xi Jian asked.
"From now on we will pretend to be enemies. Do you think it is necessary to unlock the spell?" Morgan was referring to the spell that compensated for the pain.
For once, Shiomi flicked her forehead with his hand. "Don't be silly. Precisely because I won't be able to be with you all the time, I need to keep this technique. If I ever lose my composure on the battlefield, at least I won't hurt you."
"What an incredible confidence." Morgan pursed his lips and responded with a hint of sarcasm.
Her attitude successfully irritated Shioji, causing his hands to immediately fall on his waist and knead the most ticklish part. Morgan couldn't escape from his hands and was severely teased.
In the end, Xijian carried Morgan, who didn't want to walk, back home.
Teterlot, who was playing games with Bawan Xi, saw Morgan coming back and immediately asked her to change into new clothes.
But after changing, Morgan had some concerns:
"Isn't that a bit too revealing... I don't want to show my skin to anyone other than my husband."
"Don't worry, this is just an initial style. According to Teterlot's design, the final complete outfit is basically prepared for you to reign as queen." Xijian said that he felt the same way and made additional explanations.
Morgan turned around in front of the mirror and said, "Then I don't mind at all. The dress fits me perfectly and I like it very much. Thank you, Tetrot. I didn't even get the chance to wear the wedding dress you made for me in Londinium."
"As for that, it's temporarily left in Londinium in a very secret place. We should be able to find it back." Tetrot felt a little sorry.
Xi Jian nodded at this time: "I understand. When I return to Londinium, I will seal the wedding dress."
"Huh?" Morgan and Tetrot asked similar questions.
"There's nothing strange about that. That was the city we built. Since it hasn't been destroyed yet, I'll naturally go back and take control of it again."
Shiomi explained his thoughts calmly.
Only this time, Londinium no longer symbolizes the most prosperous city in Britain.
Chapter 92 Mei Luxin
As Morgan predicted, a catastrophe has arrived that will destroy Britain.
99% of the fairies died in this disaster. Even Mab of the King's Clan could only protect himself in this situation and was unable to protect other fairies.
The "Beast Disaster" that completely destroyed the city, and the "Fire Disaster" that burned the earth to ashes.
Apart from Orkney, which had already been destroyed, all of Britain was not spared.
Grimm, who recorded the disaster, believed that this was the opportunity to cut off the phenomenon of this anomalous belt and put an end to it once and for all.
However, the Fantasy Tree standing at the end of the north allows this world to continue to exist even if it is destroyed.
After completing the record, Grimm ended his long journey as a Servant as expected and retreated from Britain on his own.
At the time point that later generations called the transition between the Fairy Calendar and the Queen Calendar, Morgan did not rush to use the Imagination Tree to revive Britain, but instead followed Shiomi to the territory of the Mirror Clan.
Within the lake district lies an area known as the Dark Swamp, where the remains of the last dragon, Albion, lie dormant.
It was just the words of the remains, and had no value, but Ethel, the previous patriarch of the Mirror Clan, had once revealed it when he expressed his submission after the prophecy appeared.
Although Albion's core was extinguished, his body did not perish, and his left hand was severed during the fall.
As the remaining living part, this left hand has been submerged at the bottom of the Dark Swamp, maintaining a delicate state.
"Why do we have to salvage Albion's right hand at this time?" Morgan didn't quite understand. She hugged Bawan Xi and coaxed her silently to prevent her from being disturbed by the magic here.
Tetrot didn't come over, she was helping to investigate the surrounding situation.
"Since I'm aiming to become queen, I naturally need to increase my trump cards." Shiomi raised her hand, and countless vines sprouted from the ground, burrowing into the Dark Swamp and searching along the lake bottom. "Whether it's as magical material or something else, the remaining flesh of the Last Dragon is always valuable."
After all, in pan-human history, the remains of Albion can almost be said to be the cornerstone of the human magic world.
Considering this point alone, Shiomi believed it was necessary to salvage the remaining parts.
The remains of the original body exposed on the surface of the Dark Swamp were actually worth less than that - after all, they were completely dead.
"As you wish."
Morgan wasn't particularly interested in the remaining parts, but since Shiomi had said she hoped she could use them, Morgan would try to make the best use of them.
Soon, a piece of meat that was so rotten that it could turn into fragments and debris at any time was lifted up from the turbid dark swamp by countless vines.
"That's..." Morgan used magic to protect himself.
She was afraid that the stench would alarm Bhawan Shi.
When the piece of meat was lifted to the shore by the vines, Shiomi squatted down and was about to touch it, but she caught a glimpse of Morgan's disgusted look, as if to say, "If you touch this thing, you are not allowed to touch me with that hand for a month."
Xi Jian smiled helplessly. After all, they would be separated in less than a month, so there was no need to worry too much.
"This is astonishing. Is this the power of the strongest Phantasma? The level of activation is even higher than the remains of Cernunnos. And I can even sense... the will to live."
When he touched the piece of meat, he felt an indescribable soft and rotten feeling on his hand, as if his whole hand would sink into it if he exerted any force. It reminded him of the appearance of the contaminated Holy Grail when it materialized at the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War.
"My husband, be careful!" Morgan suddenly warned.
But it was too late. Shiomi also noticed it. A white hand stretched out from the piece of flesh that was half a person's length and grabbed his hand.
Xijian was stunned and found that the hand was not contained inside, but was shaped like a piece of flesh.
The hand seemed to be thirsting for life.
The moment they made contact, his life force inadvertently activated a part of Albion.
"...Is that so? So you want to live too."
Shiomi took that hand in return and used her power to further awaken it.
The piece of meat began to change violently. Morgan thought it would explode and subconsciously protected Bawan Xi.
But the expected situation did not happen. The piece of meat eventually turned into a pool of mud, and a petite girl fell forward on the lakeshore as if she was pulled out by Shiomi.
"She is..." Morgan walked forward to check on the crawling girl.
The girl raised her head, and with her pretty face she looked blankly at Morgan and Shiomi who had retreated behind Morgan at some point.
"...You are..." The girl looked at Morgan and instinctively showed a wary look.
"Queen Morgan, she was the one who woke you up." Shiomi said behind Morgan.
Morgan knew that he was taking advantage of the girl's "chicken complex" after she opened her eyes, a lie that she could confirm without even looking back, in order to make her loyal to him.
But Morgan could also see that the girl obviously had doubts about this sentence, but after silently staring at Xijian for a while, she lay weakly on the shore.
"Is that so... I understand." She replied in a low voice.
Morgan wanted to tell Shiomi that his strategy had failed, but the girl obviously understood his words as "you must be loyal to this woman named Morgan" and accepted it.
But if that happens, I'm afraid Shiomi will abandon the girl without mercy.
She sighed silently, hoping that this would not lead to any bad consequences.
"Do you have a name?"
After handing Bawan Xi to Xi Jian, Morgan squatted down and asked.
The girl shook her head.
So Morgan and Shiomi each wrote a name on the ground and let the girl choose.
In the end, the girl chose "Melushin", a name that Shiomi took from a French legend.
Morgan became more confident in his judgment.
She really wanted to tell Shiomi this, but she felt sorry for Mirusin and didn't want to see the girl being regarded as "something useless to Morgan" by Shiomi and thrown back into the lake.
Then she took out a blanket and draped it over Melusin, helping the girl up.
"No... No, Morgan, we just looked around and there's nothing around here. Can we go back—Wow!"
At this time, Tetrot came over. When she spoke, she noticed Melusin and immediately made a surprised sound.
"Who is this child? So cute... I wonder if she has bride power?"
"Maybe there will be, maybe not." Shiomi said with a smile, "As a newly born life, the future is full of infinite possibilities."
"There's some truth to that—" Tetrot thought thoughtfully.
Shiomi turned away.
"It's almost time to go. Time waits for no one. Let's finish this last thing, Morgan." Shiomi said.
"……Um."
Even though he knew this meant separation, Morgan, who had already made up his mind with him, no longer hesitated.
They took Albion's left hand, which had just been named Melusin, and went to the Imagination Tree in Orkney.
Chapter 93: The Beginning of the Queen's Calendar
The Illusion Tree is a special existence that possesses magical power that is not inferior to that of the Holy Grail of the Magic King.
To use Morgan's description, the fact that the world can exist and continue today is the result of "calculation" within the fantasy tree.
This world, which was originally a fixed phenomenon, was recreated internally, calculated to a time point equivalent to 2017 in pan-human history, and then dropped onto the bleached planet.
After this world was anchored on a blank planet, Shiomi entered Britain and was sent to the past 6000 years ago as a special observer, becoming a key variable in changing the development trajectory of the Lostbelt.
So when Morgan extracted all the magic power of the Fantasy Tree and turned it into the power to revive the fairies who had all perished in the catastrophe, the Fantasy Tree was completely unable to respond and withered in Morgan's hands.
The trunk and branches of the Fantasy Tree that reached into the sky gradually withered and dissipated, and finally turned into fine snow-like dust and scattered on the earth and the ocean, leaving only the dry roots remaining in the northernmost part of Britain.
When they left the Illusion Tree and crossed the Mirror Lake again, Tetrot and Melusin were responsible for rowing the boat.
Holding Bawan Xi in his arms, Xijian stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the south shore that was gradually approaching in his sight.
"In this way, Britain, which perished in the great disaster, will be reborn." Without turning his head, he said to Morgan, who was sitting in the middle of the boat.
Morgan knew what this meant.
It was something they had decided upon 400 years ago when they returned to Orkney together. After much deliberation over the past 400 years, Morgan no longer regretted his decision and accepted Shiomi's approach.
Once the ship docks, she will separate from Shiomi.
"Really...are you leaving so soon?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Morgan realized that he still had some innocence that he couldn't let go of, but he didn't regret asking.
"If we don't separate now, we'll be exposed sooner or later." Xi Jian straightened Bawan Xi's collar. "Also, I'll take the child away and take care of him. You can focus on your work."
"...Don't you trust me to take good care of Bawan Xi?" Morgan said a little lonely.
"You have no experience in raising children anyway." Xijian smiled bitterly and answered her softly.
Bawan Xi's growth rate was very slow. It took 400 years for her to grow to the size of a four or five-year-old human child.
Shiomi deduced that it would take at least 1000 years for her to grow to the same state as before.
"In that case, I can only do as you say." Morgan nodded slightly.
"Don't make that expression. I'm not trying to take our daughter away from you." Shiomi shook her head. "I promise you, I will raise this child to a level that will make you proud. When that happens, she will return to you."
"That's not what I meant." Morgan didn't know how to describe this feeling.
After living together as a couple in Britain for 3600 years, they had two children.
Despite the unusual form of his birth, Morgan accepted the fact without any hesitation.
So when Morgan was about to separate from her husband, with whom she had been through thick and thin, and from her child, whom she had been with for only 400 years, she felt mixed emotions.
"It's not a divorce, we're just living apart." Xi Jian noticed the subtlety before her and added half-jokingly, "Even if you want a divorce, I won't agree."
Morgan immediately picked up on this and looked at him with an even more cunning look: "I can say the same thing to you, my husband."
"You two don't look like you're getting a divorce, so stop flirting here. We're almost immune to it." Tetrot, on the other hand, acted as if he was fed up with it and complained, "What do you think, Melusin?"
