My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

"No need, let these finance personnel take them with them." Seeing the boy's thoughts, Artoria tugged at his sleeve and said this.

"Is it okay?"

"It's okay, I haven't needed these things for a long time." The girl shook her head, looking quite at ease.

Because, well, I have already obtained an even more precious treasure.

This was a sentence deep in her heart, but she just couldn't bring herself to say it.

Next came cleaning up the battlefield and disposing of the corpses. Only after Artoria raised the Staff of Choice to deliver them from suffering did the bodies turn to ashes, which scattered in the wind.

Dust to dust, dust to dust.

No one present thought there was anything wrong with what Levi did, including the seemingly well-behaved dog girl Gareth.

Death is all too common in the fairy kingdom, and judging from her expression, she seemed to have encountered difficulties when she first arrived in the village looking for Artoria, but she didn't suffer any losses because she was stronger—you have to have real skills to wander this continent.

So, at night, in Hector's blacksmith shop.

Through their daytime activities, Gareth and Artoria had become inseparable, their relationship incredibly close. However, for some reason, the puppy-dog girl would always blush and her heart would race whenever she saw Levi, leaving her flustered and awkward. Even at dinner, after touching Levi's hand, she blurted out, "I'm not ready to have a baby yet!" leaving him somewhat embarrassed.

I wonder what she saw in the prophecy.

Meanwhile, Li Wei was having a long talk with the seemingly unremarkable blacksmith, discussing adult topics.

"She didn't tell you about her past? Then I can't tell you either, I'm sorry."

Hector pounded the anvil with a dull thud, sparks flying onto his body before being extinguished by his tough skin: "But I can tell you that she is the one in the world who loves the Fairy Kingdom the most, even though the country doesn't love her."

“I know, so I’m not here to ask about this medal.”

Playing with the knight's medal that "Fan" had given him, the boy shook his head and said this.

"Then what do you want to know?"

"I want to learn blacksmithing from you," Li Wei said frankly. "To be precise, I want to learn sword forging."

Since arriving in this world, the boy has been able to sense the broken sword embryo left behind by "Mr. Merlin" within him, which is constantly emitting a burning call, as if waiting for the boy to complete it.

After meeting Morgan and Artoria, the fluctuations of the sword embryo became even more intense. Sometimes, when Levi woke up in the middle of the night, he would find the Holy Sword transformed into a blurry humanoid figure, sitting on him and watching him.

But there's still no clue how to help it. This sword blank is calling out to its parents like an infant, but Li Wei is completely helpless.

Since that's the case, let's learn blacksmithing first; it's always good to have more skills.

“Sword forging? Fine, after all, he’s a knight of the chosen one.” Hector’s eyes revealed a hint of nostalgia. “But blacksmithing looks simple, it’s actually quite difficult to learn.”

--five minutes later--

Hector: "You've already learned smelting? You really have!"

——Ten minutes later——

Hector: "Yes, just like that, very beautiful, it's like a knives flying!"

——An hour later——

Hector: "Beautiful. This sword can be sold in a big city. It's a fantastic combination of magic and forging."

——Three hours later——

Hector: "I have nothing more to teach you. You've graduated!"

Chapter 29 The existence of sexually frigid sows is undeniable.

In Li Wei's dream, there was Sister Mei's magic workshop.

Thanks to the previous tranquilizer, Meryl is still under the effects of the drug, so her [beep] desire has dropped to freezing point, and Levi has also become much calmer.

At least they both acted normally while talking, so there was no need to worry about turning around and finding out she was pulling down her pants.

"Forging? I really don't know how to do that."

Without those worldly desires, the white-haired older sister seemed much more reliable, even giving off a refined and gentle demeanor, a complete contrast to her usual chattering and restless self, always thinking about how to seduce Li Wei or how to be seduce by him.

Wearing a dignified mage's robe and glasses, Mary now gives off the image of a refined and literary young woman.

His expression was calm and even, as he gently rested his chin on his hand and discussed academic issues with Li Wei, occasionally delving into the alchemical errors committed by juvenile offenders.

"However, there are experts in this field who are good at it. I remember having collected related content before."

The gentle and refined dream demon pondered carefully, then turned and walked towards the library to start searching—the calmed-down Merry had actually started cleaning the room and organizing the bookshelves. If a certain Knights of the Round Table saw their Grand Tutor being treated like this, they would probably come over and kowtow to Li Wei on the spot, and each of them would present him with a banner.

"If we can't find it, then forget it. I just had this idea on a whim." The boy shook his head, indicating that it wasn't necessary.

"It's alright, I'm just idling around anyway. My long life has made me lose interest in all joy. Only when I'm with you does my barren heart feel a little flutter." Sister Meili, who didn't seem to have a sow's temperament at all, said something that sounded almost like a confession, and casually pinched the boy's cheek: "If you really want to thank me, just come and keep me company more often in the future."

What a wonderful succubus! It's a pity it's too fully developed. If it could be chemically neutered, it would be perfect.

After making that remark, Sister Mei quietly searched for books, and then... well...

"found it?"

Li Wei was quite surprised to see the thick stack of books handed to him.

Wow, this place really has all kinds of books! I guess I should come and read more of these in the future.

"I can only say it's related to what you need, but I'm not sure if it will actually help," Sister Meryl shook her head.

"They've already been a huge help."

The boy moved the thick stack of books onto the table and began to study them seriously.

The label on the title page of "Hephaestus's Forging Notes" states that it was stolen by Melly from Hephaestus's house when his wife was having an affair and causing trouble.

"Tips for Maintaining Gan Jiang and Mo Xie", by author Emiya Jukō, is a book about weapon maintenance that is helpful but not extensive.

"Some Reflections on Repairing Saint Cloths," authored by Mr. Mu, but this can no longer be considered part of the forging process.

"The Forging Method and Development Direction of Shallow Forging", authored by Hyosube Ichibei, seems to be a paper on weapon forging, but the more I read it, the more something seems off.

The origin of these books is also suspicious; some even bear the marks of private libraries, suggesting they may be stolen goods.

Seeing the boy diligently studying, the composed Sister Meryl did not disturb him. She simply brewed a pot of black tea and served him some Meryl-chan's secret-recipe snacks.

Just like her expertise in magic and alchemy, cooking also requires precise ingredient ratios and precise control of heat, which is why Mary's desserts taste quite good. If these things were to get out, some doctor who's just coasting along in a hospital might very well offer a high price to buy them.

Li Wei picked up a small pastry, chewed it, and then drank a cup of black tea. He felt great.

"How does it taste?" The white cat magician asked expectantly, his legs crossed.

"Fantastic! The taste is just as good as that of the royal chefs." Having eaten at the Fairy Kingdom's state banquet, Li Wei was quite qualified to comment on this.

"Really? I'm so glad you like it, Avi."

Sister Meryl looked super happy, but then her actions became a little strange.

My breathing became rapid, my body inexplicably felt hot, and a strange smell began to spread in the air, as if there was a strong female hormone.

"Sister Meryl, you seem a bit strange. Do you need me to diagnose you?"

"It's okay, I'm perfectly healthy. It's normal to blush and have a racing heart when I see Avi, isn't it?"

"Is this behavior normal?"

"Of course, after you gave me the sedative that day, Avi, I became completely calm. I could think about anything without hesitation, I was unusually calm. But when I think of you, my body inexplicably produces strange feelings, no... not [beep], it's just that strange things are secreted."

"……Um?"

I always feel like I'm hearing some really exciting topics.

Even without that desire, the body still naturally exhibits corresponding symptoms. Sister Mei, have your bodily instincts surpassed the control of your brain?

"At first I thought there was something wrong with my body, but this is a dream, and dream demons can't get hurt. So I understand, this must be love, a resonance that transcends body and soul. Just thinking about you makes me [beep], this must be love, right!"

Although his expression remained normal and calm, the things he said became increasingly strange: "So, Avi must like the fruit of their love, right?"

Li Wei's expression changed drastically; he seemed to have realized something.

"Um, Sister Meryl, please don't tell me..."

"I collected them all and put them in the desserts. I'm so happy that you like the taste, Avi!"

"!!!!" Li Wei's expression changed drastically.

I was too careless. I thought that since Meryl didn't have that need right now and I had a high tolerance for the drug, I was safe. I didn't realize that Meryl's sow had developed a biological instinct, and even without desire, she could do such a thing just out of instinct.

This kind of expressionless, apathetic sow character seems to be quite popular these days... The boy always thought it was just something made up by people who draw erotic books, but he never expected to actually see it today.

"Come, let's go to Gensokyo where no one will bother us..."

"Mr. Merlin is absolutely right. As expected, Merlin should die ten thousand times over."

Li Wei raised his hand, drew the Sword of Light, and fired it at the frigid, infatuated woman in front of him.

"Snapped."

Something resembling Meryl was blasted away, hit the wall, and then fell to the ground with a "thud".

"Even chemical castration won't work? We'll have to find a new method next time."

"It's alright, young man, you can't hurt me here..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Wei fired another full-power light cannon shot, which hit Mary directly in the face.

……

The next morning, the boy opened his eyes and felt even more tired than before he went to sleep.

Merry should just stay a sow from now on; at least it'll be better than this situation.

P.S.: The daily chapters are basically finished. The Fairy Knight Lancelot storyline will begin in the next chapter. I'm about to step on the gas!

Chapter 30 Lancelot will always get Guinevere

At dawn, Li Wei and his two companions bid farewell to the blacksmith Hector and embarked on their journey to save the world.

"Hector, are you really not going to come with us?" Artoria seemed a little reluctant to leave, as this was her first friend.

"My old bones really can't withstand the strain of a second voyage to save the world, so don't worry about me." The dwarf blacksmith seemed to say nothing, yet it also seemed to say everything.

Li Wei and he exchanged a glance, understanding each other implicitly.

And so the trio left the village, which had been ravaged by blood and now only had the dwarf blacksmith left, and headed south. Their first stop was Salisbury, a major city in southern Britain, where the second pilgrimage bell was kept.

The city lord's name is Aurora, the leader of the Wind Clan, and she is said to be a first-rate beauty. Throughout the entire Fairy Kingdom, she enjoys a very good reputation.

Li Wei, however, declined.

If it weren't for the pilgrimage bell that required him to come, he would have even considered skipping the city altogether.

The reason was simple: Bagst had told him before that the only fairy knight he had never met, Lancelot, was guarding the city, which made the boy feel uneasy.

Lancelot and Guinevere, what an enchanting combination.

Fortunately, according to Gareth, she was passing through Salisbury and Aurora and Lancelot had both gone to the central city of Gloucester for a ball and wouldn't be back for the time being.

It's better if they can't come back. It would be best if they waited until Artoria finished ringing the bell before returning. If possible, they should avoid meeting each other.

Britain is not very large, and given the incredible stamina of the three men, they arrived in Salisbury in the afternoon.

Then he saw his own wanted poster on the city wall.

"Wanted: Artoria Caster."

Charges: Plotting to overthrow the state, kidnapping the fairy knight Guinevere, defaulting on magic taxes, and disrespectfully insulting the Queen in court. These are heinous crimes deserving of death. Please contact the garrison immediately upon discovery.

Bounty: A 50-year exemption from magic tax will be granted to anyone providing valid clues; the person who captures the suspect alive will be exempt from magic tax for life and awarded a knighthood.

"Wanted: Fairy Knight Guinevere".

Charges: Disrespectful to the Queen, misled and led astray. While youth and ignorance are understandable, he must be captured alive; violence must not be used against him.

Bounty: A lifetime tax exemption for anyone providing valid clues; capture alive will result in a knighthood and a fiefdom.

Below are portraits of himself and Castor.

In terms of accuracy, it's quite similar, but there's something inexplicable about the way Castor's portrait looks a bit rough, like some kind of wild boar clan that came out of nowhere.

"Hey, why is it that even though I have so many crimes, the bounty on my head is less than yours?" The girl nudged the boy in annoyance.

"I'm not Morgan, how would I know?" The boy shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

They were exiled just yesterday, and today bounty notices are posted in major cities. The Fairy Kingdom is quite efficient.

The fact that the two of them could appear here openly and legitimately clearly indicates that they had disguised themselves—"Merlin's Magic" includes disguise and makeup.
