My mother's love song

After finishing his meal, Rhodes put down his knife and fork and looked up.

"I also have some questions for Gawain, although they are not serious topics."

"What? If I could answer that then I would."

"I heard that Gawain has a new lover recently, right?"

Hearing Rhodes' question, Gawain hesitated for a moment, then said, "No, he is not my lover, but just a human boy who is under the protection of my family.

My health is very poor, I am always sick and have a constant cough...but recently due to the signs of a great disaster, it is difficult to get medicine, and now I am recuperating in a room deep inside the house.

I am a fairy knight who only likes strong men. It is impossible for me to fall in love with a human being who has zero fighting power, zero living ability, and zero future potential. "

"Can I ask you, what is his name?"

"The name is Adonis."

"I see. It's a really nice name."

Rhodes smiled mysteriously and continued, “You know what, Gawain.

In pan-human history, Adonis is actually the origin of the concept of "beautiful boy."

Gawain half-opened his mouth and sighed, "Is that so? The culture of pan-human history is indeed very profound.

Rod... In your world, has there ever been a human named Adonis?"

"of course."

The young man raised his head slightly and said with nostalgia: "The prototype is believed to come from Babylonian mythology, the husband of the goddess of beauty Ishtar.

Dumuzi, the god of agriculture and spring, the shepherd lord who is in charge of the harvest.

The changing of the seasons between heaven and earth is due to the fact that he was killed every midsummer, and Ishtar had to go to the underworld to save him.

Because of the loss of the goddess of fertility, all life on earth ceased.

It was not until the following spring that Ishtar rescued him from Ereshkigal, the queen of the underworld, and life came back to the earth.

However, after the original text spread to the West, it was transformed into another story. "

Gawain listened attentively as Rod continued.

"Adonis, a beautiful boy with a radiant appearance from birth.

Even Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, fell in love with him at first sight and gave him to Persephone, the queen of the underworld, to raise.

While raising the boy, the goddess Persephone also fell in love with him and was unwilling to let him leave the underworld.

The two goddesses refused to give in to each other and even went to the king of gods Zeus to ask for a decision.

Later, Adonis was killed by a wild boar sent by Artemis while he was out hunting...ah, I think that's what I remember.

In short, Adonis stayed with Persephone after his death, but he would come down from the underworld to live with Aphrodite for six months every year.

"The Adonis of Pan-Human History is really a passionate man. Is this what they call a beauty causing trouble...?"

"Speechless."

Gawain blinked in surprise: "Huh? Rod, why do you feel guilty?"

"nothing."

Rhodes waved his hand.

“By the way, Adonis was the god of agriculture and spring in Babylonia and the god of spring vegetation in Greece.

However, after his deeds spread to Northern Europe, he became the god of light, symbolizing the end of winter and the arrival of spring...

Balder, the son of the great goddess Frigga, is said to have won the heart of Skadi, the ice goddess and "Bride of the Gods", with his handsome appearance.

He is the most glorious god who represents spring, but he has become the beginning of the end of the world and the twilight of the gods...

Anyway, even in Northern Europe, that guy still died miserably and was very unlucky. "

After listening to Rod's lecture on pan-human history, Gawain showed a look of satisfaction and admiration.

“Although I’ve heard that the cultural level of pan-human history is very high, Lord Rhodes is indeed special.

You are worthy of being the partner chosen by Her Majesty Morgan... As the Queen's lover, your erudition is truly impressive."

Of course not. They are my own deeds, so how could I not understand them?

Rhodes asked with a smile: "By the way, when did Gawain and Adonis meet?"

"That was two months ago... eh...!?"

Halfway through his words, Gawain suddenly frowned: "No...it should have been a long time ago..."

After struggling and thinking for a long time, Gawain let out a breath and said.

“I’m sorry, my memory seems to be a little confused.

Because he was such an insignificant human being, I have forgotten when I first met him."

"Ah, it's okay, Gawain, don't worry about it."

Rhodes agreed, muttering quietly.

"…………Is that so? Gawain's logic is wrong."

Just as Rhode had thought before, someone used illusion magic on Bagster, causing her cognitive confusion.

Bagster's "lovers" don't actually exist.

I'm afraid it's the same as the name [Gift] bestowed upon her by the Queen. Both are means to control Bagster, something like a restraint.

That's why Gawain keeps changing lovers.

This is also the delay effect added by magic.

The recurring hallucinations made Gawain believe that he was constantly eating and changing lovers.

During these nearly two hundred years, the lovers in the Fairy Knight's mind that he had obtained from hallucinations were probably projections of the same person...

Rhodes, who existed in different periods above human reason, had countless simulated romances with Gawain in her hallucinations.

"What a vicious magic trick... Ugh, so scary..."

But there is nothing he can do about it, because if he doesn't do this, "that thing" buried in Bagster's body will awaken.

Fortunately, Bagster is the first of the three to appear in the Fairy Calendar. If "that thing" possesses Melyucina, what kind of monster will it become?

No...Since it's a curse against the Fang Clan, it will only happen to Bagster?

So the question is, who used such a vicious magic on Gawain?

Rhodes could think of only one suspect, and the only one in Britain that could do such a thing was Morgan's [Court].

It is probably one of the several gardens of the great spiritual magic [Garden] possessed by the Queen.

But...is this really the truth?

If this was really done by Morgan, her rating in Rhodes' mind would be greatly reduced.

From 100 points to 99.5.

Moreover, everything that Gawain encountered was more like Merlin’s dream than Morgan’s court…?

It was like a dream in the Mesopotamian singularity that temporarily lulled the angry mother [Tiamat] to sleep.

While Rhodes was thinking, the carriage stopped.

The army reached the forests of Wales.

"Okay, let's put ■■■■'s matter aside for now."

Rhodes got off the carriage and stretched.

"Altria... come, let me see how you've grown."

PS.2.6 In the original work, Gawain’s imaginary lover is really called Adonis.

Chapter 876: Keep an eye on Jie Hinako, this is how the immortal body is used!

The Queen's Army that fought Londinium was the army stationed in Oxford.

In order to show his ability to the queen, Patriarch Woodworth approached the abandoned city where the Child of Prophecy and the Round Table were located after a day of forced march.

The Woodworth Army is the strongest force in Britain composed only of the Clan of the Fang. It is said to be invincible in field battles, but not so good at siege warfare and street fighting. Such an army cannot pose a threat if it wants to capture Londinium.

Percival, the leader of the Round Table, came to the conclusion to defend the city.

Slowly weaken the enemy's combat power while defending the city, and when the enemy is tired, launch a surprise attack to eliminate Woodworth who is on the battlefield. The Fang Clan will be defeated without its leader.

Although there is a huge gap in combat power between the two sides, they can only defend the city for ten days.

Woodworth's army alone could not complete the siege of Londinium, so he would probably choose a frontal attack and launch a fierce attack on the main gate.

Then, the Child of Prophecy and Percival will find the right time to engage the isolated Woodworth team.

After Altria rang the bell of the Earth Clan, her magic power was enough to perform magic that provided a certain degree of protection to the army.

As long as she comes to the battlefield, human soldiers blessed by her magic will be able to compete with the Fang Clan.

The fairies who saw this said in fear, “That is exactly the same protection as Morgan’s.”

After many small-scale battles, relying on Londinium's advantageous position, the losses of the Round Table Army defending the city were almost negligible.

If we continue to maintain this trend, although the chances are slim, we see hope of defeating the enemy.

He is truly the child of miracles, humans exclaimed privately.

Just when everything was going in the right direction, a call for help came from outside the city.

The Queen's Knights, led by the Fairy Knight Gawain, are marching towards the forests of Wales.

It was originally a place abandoned by the Queen, but now it has suffered the Queen's wrath because of its connection with the Child of Prophecy.

Altria was very angry and immediately expressed her willingness to go for support.

The four-member team that went on the expedition was composed of Altria, Percival, Oberon, and Gareth. It would only take half a day if they used flying props, while Habertlot and Hector would be responsible for staying behind.

By the way, the news that Rod had become Morgan’s husband would not reach Londinium until tomorrow morning.

"Don't mess around... My opponent is the Fairy Knight Gawain who has been given a name. Is that okay?"

Habertlot asked, somewhat worriedly.

Altria nodded and said, "Of course. Rather, I have been waiting for a long time.

I won't let Gao Wen continue to be so arrogant. I will let her know that height cannot determine everything!"

Habertlot nodded with satisfaction: "Very reliable, Son of Prophecy, Rhodes will be very pleased to see you like this.

Then there is only one thing I want to say.

Listen carefully, you have to find a way to make her surrender once! Then you will have the chance!

Spot the weakness in the opponent's mind and reveal her gifted name [Divine Protection]!

Fairy Knight is just an acting skill after all! As long as I can deny her identity as a knight, that's enough!"

Altria smiled in surprise and happiness.

"Thank you for your unconditional care and support. Thank you very much! Let's go, Habertlot!"

……

……

……

Then, everyone saw a forest burning in the night in Wales.

"This is an order from Her Majesty the Queen. Set fire! This is a filthy forest of decay. Burn it all down!

The lawless criminals who usurped the throne of the Goblin King now know how powerful we are! "

The Queen's knights ravaged the peaceful forest.

The weak goblins that look like insects cannot speak human language, but their cries and screams are constantly echoing over the earth.

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts...
