"For the rest of my life, I've been thinking about why you left your message at the source, Father, and who left the other six messages? What is the meaning of these messages?"

Rosson stopped speaking, and the entire underground was as silent as death, with only Lawrence listening painfully as Adroson recounted everything.

"I don't understand."

"I don't understand, Father."

Luo Song clenched his fists, forcing out the words through clenched teeth.

"The root cause can't give me an answer, you can't give me an answer either, and the clock tower can't give me an answer either."

"But, but..."

"Even though I don't know the meaning of the other six messages, I do know the meaning of the message you left."

"So, no matter who it's for, I will... fulfill that wish!"

He walked past Lawrence, his tone filled with stubbornness and aggrieved anger.

"No one can stop me, not even you, Father."

He picked up the Holy Grail, ignoring his father, Lawrence Anno Falgao, sitting on the ground behind him, his eyes bloodshot.

"Nobody's here!"

"Luo Song." Just then, another voice appeared.

"Ugh?"

The father and son turned their heads to look at the same time.

"I'm right here."

Harley stood between the father and son, her face etched with sadness.

“Stop, okay?” She looked at her son, clasped her hands over her chest, and shook her head slightly. “Don’t let yourself make the same mistake again.”

“Mother…Mother?” Rosson looked at Harley in disbelief and said in a trembling voice.

......

“That’s how it is.” Fujimaru Ritsuka looked seriously at the Servant standing opposite her, Artoria Pendragon. “We already know the enemy’s location, but one of our companions has been kidnapped. We need to complete this operation while rescuing our companion.”

“It’s alright.” Artoria picked up her black lance, mounted her horse, narrowed her eyes, and said in a high-spirited tone, “Whatever obstacles may arise, I will crush them all!”

Mordred followed behind her, his eyes shining.

Father is so handsome! Father is handsome no matter what!

Chapter 744 Bastard Father

"Is it you, Mother?" Luo Song took a step forward, his eyes filled with tears.

“Luo Song, I know what you’re thinking.” Harley nodded, pursing her lips. “Standing here, I may be a phantom spirit, but…”

“It is indeed Harley Bahargul Orvis.”

"It is a phantom spirit that manifests in this singularity, carrying two longings, and is not your father."

Luo Song rushed over, silently hugged his mother, and cried while leaning on Harley's shoulder.

"Mother... Mother... Ugh..."

Harley gently patted her son's back, her eyes filled with sorrow.

"It's been a long time... Luo Song."

"Mother, I miss you so much, I really miss you so much..." Luo Song choked up and could barely speak.

“I’m so sorry for leaving you and your father when you were so young. I’m so sorry.” Harley stroked the back of Adroson’s head. “It’s my fault, I’m sorry, son.”

As Harley spoke, she released Rosson.

"Huh?" Rosson looked at Harley blankly.

Harley patted Rosson's head and turned to walk towards Lawrence.

"Harley..." Lawrence looked up at Harley with a slightly dazed expression.

Harley, however, slapped Lawrence across the face.

“…Huh?” Lawrence covered his slightly stinging cheek and looked up.

Harley sighed, helped Lawrence up, and brushed the dust off him.

“Lawrence, you are outstanding, arguably the most outstanding person in the world.” She gently patted Lawrence’s cheeks twice, her eyes filled with helplessness. “But before reprimanding Rosson, why don’t you think about what you’ve done to this child?”

“…Rosson was wrong, very wrong. I know that very well, and you should know it too, Lawrence.” Holding Lawrence's hand, Harley looked into his eyes. “But undeniably, if it weren't for us, his parents…”

The couple looked at Adroson together.

“This child won’t make any big mistakes.” Lawrence continued Harley’s words, his tone heavy with sorrow and pain.

Lawrence reflected on what he had done to his son.

When Rosson was young, he was indeed raised by Lawrence and Halle.

but......

Harley fell ill, and her condition deteriorated rapidly. As a result, when Adroson was three years old, he lost his mother, and Lawrence lost his wife.

Following this, to prevent more people from repeating his wife's mistakes, the father, Lawrence, chose a great but lonely path, entrusting his son to his friend, Leonardo da Vinci.

For nearly ten years after that day, Adrosson did not see Lawrence.

When Adroson saw Lawrence again, he was already thirteen years old.

Lawrence cared for Rosen for several years, then, while fleeing, entrusted his son to a friend and continued his solitary greatness.

A few years later, Lawrence passed away due to overwork, his age frozen on December 31, 1499, just one day before his fifty-second birthday.

Losing his mother at the age of three and his father at the age of twenty-five, Luo Song entered the Clock Tower alone, turning his grief into his own strength and achieving great success on the path of demonic cultivation.

However, just as he was about to enter the Root as a magician, he learned of the message left behind by Lawrence at the entrance and returned to the world in distress.

This torment plagued him for a lifetime, and he never escaped it. Even after his death, Luo Song was still troubled by it.

What kind of person is Lawrence in other people's eyes?

He was a great artist, a great physician, a great scientist, and a great man who gave his life for humanity.

But what about from Adrosson's perspective?

He's just a bastard who abandoned his son.

Adroson probably knew how much his father loved his mother, and he was willing to understand his father; he still looked up to his father.

But this doesn't change the fact that Lawrence was a bastard who abandoned his son.

Lawrence closed his eyes slightly and pursed his lips.

Ah, why did I only realize this now?

Everyone has the right to blame the child, except me, the father, except me...

All I feel for this child is guilt.

"Was it worth it, Lawrence?" Harley noticed Lawrence's change in mood and looked at him sadly.

“…I don’t know.” Lawrence shook his head, somewhat hesitant to look at Adrosson.

With a sigh, Harley patted Lawrence on the back: "If we were to trace the blame for this, it would be endless. No one is at fault; the only fault lies with the outcome... Never mind."

“If I hadn’t died, you wouldn’t have abandoned Luo Song.”

“If I had not died, you would not have had such a sorrowful wish.”

Lawrence gritted his teeth, wiped away his tears, and looked at his son.

He walked over and suddenly pulled Adroson into his arms.

"I'm sorry, Luo Song, I haven't been able to do it all these years."

“I… am not a good father.”

Rosson rested his chin on Lawrence's shoulder, his pupils trembling slightly.

The magic mirror cage that imprisoned Shakespeare and Andersen was completely silent, and no one noticed.

The Holy Grail in Rosson's hand emitted a heavy, crimson light.

Harley's pupils contracted: "Roson, throw that cup away!"

"Huh?" Luo Song didn't react. He was currently immersed in surprise, complexity, and sudden happiness, and had no intention of letting go of the Holy Grail.

The Holy Grail seemed to hear Harley's words, and its red light shone even brighter.

Magic became nourishment.

The demon that had been residing within Adroson's body has grown stronger.

"Ugh—" Rosson involuntarily let out a painful roar, but at the last moment he pushed Lawrence away, preventing Lawrence from being affected by the flood of magic.

"Ugh—Aaaaaaaaahh ...

"Roson!" Lawrence's pupils contracted, and he instinctively tried to grab Roson, but was directly knocked over by magic and fell to the ground.

Harley was nearly killed by the force of the first wave of magic and had no choice but to hide again, following Lawrence.

Luo Song's eyes had turned completely bloodshot.

His words were deafening.

"My pillar is the eighth of the seventy-two demons of Solomon, and my true name is Barbatos."

"I will obey my king's command and usher in this era—"

"Completely destroy!"
