Ma En hesitated for a moment, thinking that she would definitely find out eventually anyway, so he just told her.
"It concerns your resurrection, the King Arthur resurrection plan."
"Resurrection?!" x2
Upon hearing this, both the Lion King and Mordred exclaimed in surprise.
"As expected, nothing good ever comes from getting involved with her," Dred muttered to himself.
In her view, this so-called resurrection probably refers to something like necromancy, which is not a good thing at all, and is extremely evil.
"Is that so? That certainly does reflect her style." Zi Wang nodded, having roughly understood the situation.
Although she didn't know what Morgan was thinking, she wasn't surprised at all that he could make such a decision.
After all, in her view, Morgan was an evil witch, and it was not surprising that she would conduct experiments and research that trampled on ethics and morality.
Then she asked, "Master, how much more do you know?"
“I know more about it. This resurrection ritual requires three conditions to be met: body, spirit, and soul. Morgan had already prepared the spirit and soul from the beginning, only the body was missing. And the clan that regards this ritual as a mission has been creating offspring based on you.”
"This is impossible!"
As soon as Marne finished speaking, Mordred leaned forward from behind and retorted, "Where does she get her spirit and soul? Isn't Father's soul right here?"
The Lion King nodded; that was exactly what she wanted to say.
If Morgan truly possesses a soul, then who is she? And who is the one on the Throne of Heroes?
Ma En shrugged: "I didn't say that the spirit and soul belonged to Lia."
"Whose is that?" x2
Both were extremely curious about what kind of person's soul Morgan could use to resurrect King Arthur, which meant that this person's soul was very similar to King Arthur's.
···
"Actually, it wasn't anyone else, it was Rungominiad. Morgan misunderstood and thought that the spirit inside the Holy Lance was Leah's, so he used it as a medium to summon a soul that didn't exist."
Both of them were stunned upon hearing this, neither of them expecting things to turn out this way.
"Huh? I never thought she'd end up like this."
Mordred smiled with a hint of schadenfreude; she was quite pleased to see Morgan make a mistake.
The thought that the other party had gone to great lengths to leave behind a clan, only to find it was all in vain, brought him great pleasure.
The Lion King frowned and glared at her: "This is no laughing matter. If this ritual succeeds, a new god with terrifying power will emerge, which will be a huge disaster for this era."
... 0
She knew the power of Rungomminiad better than anyone. If the ritual succeeded, a new god named Rungomminiad would undoubtedly be born, who could use the Holy Lance at will. One could only imagine how powerful He would be.
"Uh..." Dred's laughter froze on the spot, and he quickly shut his mouth.
The Lion King ignored her and turned to Marne: "Master, the person you came here to look for, wouldn't that be him?"
Ma En nodded: "Yes, the final condition, the physical body, the vessel is almost complete."
Although he had expected it, the Lion King still couldn't help but feel a little doubtful upon hearing Marne's statement: "Near completion?"
"Yes, there is a being that is closest to completion there, but if I'm not mistaken, with your arrival, there should be some reaction here. With you as a reference, that being will mutate and become more and more similar to you."
Of course, all of this was just Marx and Engels talking nonsense. In fact, he only knew what would happen after reading the original work.
As for whether the Lion King, or King Arthur, descended and caused this anomaly, he wasn't quite sure. In any case, the timing of the anomaly overlapped with the Fourth Holy Grail War, which was quite intriguing.
"..."
The Lion King fell silent; she never imagined things would turn out this way.
Her arrival even caused an anomaly here, which really left her speechless.
Nine.
Chapter 170 Shocking My Own Mother for a Whole Year: What an Amazing Lineup!
However, she didn't say much in the end, and silently focused her attention, beginning to sense the surroundings.
Even though it might not necessarily work, she did it anyway.
Maren wasn't idle either; he... went straight to ask someone for directions.
Although he didn't know where the target was, he knew it was a small village in the Welsh mountains, with a cemetery nearby called something like Blackmore, and a church in the village.
There aren't many mountain villages that meet both criteria of having a cemetery and a church, and knowing the name of the cemetery made it easy to target them.
As they drove over, the Lion King sensed something as soon as they approached their destination.
“Master, this should be the place. This place gives me a strange feeling, and there is also the aura of Rungomminiad.”
Mar and Eng nodded, confirming that "403" was indeed the correct address.
Upon arriving at their destination, as soon as they got out of the car, the villagers who had been casting curious glances at them, the outsiders, all widened their eyes in surprise.
When they saw the Lion King, especially his face, they were all shocked.
Because it's so similar, so very similar to the painting that's been passed down in the tribe—no! It's not just a matter of similarity, it's practically identical!
Then Mordred got out of the car, and they were more than just shocked; it felt as if tens of thousands of alpacas had stampeded past.
Those who worship King Arthur every day were suddenly bewildered when they saw these two 'Takeuchi faces'.
"Where is your village chief? Or clan chief, or someone who's in charge? Tell him to come out and talk."
Without wasting any words, Ma En directly called the boss here.
“That’s me.” An elderly man stepped out from the middle of the village.
“I am the village chief here, and my name is Bem.”
The old man approached Marne and the others, gave a brief self-introduction, and then looked somewhat shakily at the Lion King and Mordred.
"May I ask who these two distinguished guests are?"
Marne gestured to the Lion King, who understood and stepped forward, proclaiming loudly, "My name is Arthur Pendragon."
The revelation of this identity shocked everyone present once again. People around gasped in surprise, and some even knelt down on the spot, devoutly chanting prayers.
Mordred stepped forward, one hand on his hip, and declared, "As for me, I am Mordred Pendragon!"
Everyone's eyes twitched instantly, and they secretly exclaimed, "What kind of god-like lineup is this? King Arthur and the Rebellious Knight have actually teamed up?!"
"What! What exactly is going on? If you really are that one, then who is the one here?" Village Chief Mu began to question the meaning of life.
If the person in front of them is really King Arthur, then all the efforts and dedication their clan has made all this time have been for nothing.
Also, what kind of thing is inside that ancestral hall?
Seeing this, the Lion King continued, "I already know what happened here. That was not me, but another being within the Holy Lance. Morgan misunderstood back then."
Then, Ma En also explained the relationship with reason and emotion, as well as the Lion King's severity, which finally made the village chief understand what was going on.
It turns out that their clan's mission was flawed from the very beginning, but the one at fault was not them, but Morgan.
It's not impossible to resurrect someone who has already ascended to the Throne of Heroes; Morgan just got the method wrong.
The correct method is to first summon the heroic spirit and then allow it to be resurrected. This is the most perfect way to revive it.
Otherwise, without a soul, resurrection is impossible. Or rather, even if the ritual succeeds, it's not resurrection, but rather the creation of another 'person' with the same appearance as the target.
Because the soul was replaced by another being.
Morgan was actually aware of the Throne of Heroes' existence, but he mistakenly believed that the spirit within the Holy Lance belonged to Artoria. It was this misunderstanding that led to the subsequent events.
In addition, the mystery faded at the time, so she was unable to personally control the resurrection ritual and had to outsource it.
As a result, none of the outsourced workers had ever seen the real King Arthur. They believed whatever Morgan said, which deepened the misunderstanding, and they continued to think that it was King Arthur.
"I see."
After hearing this, the village chief of Bem was at a loss for words.
As the village chief, he was naturally the clan leader and the person in charge of the resurrection plan, which had always been his obsession.
But now Marx and others are telling him that it was all a misunderstanding?!
How could he possibly accept this!
Their entire clan lived there for generations, enduring countless hardships and toil! And in the end, it was all just an illusion?!
Seeing that the village chief was losing his spirits, Ma En quickly asked about another matter.
"Village chief, if I'm not mistaken, someone in the village has undergone a strange change, becoming more and more like Lily, cough, like King Arthur, is that right?"
Village Chief Bem looked up at Marne and slowly nodded: "That child is called Grey. She has indeed changed a bit recently. Her home is over there. You can go and take a look."
This was originally good news that would have surprised him, since once the physical vessel was ready, the resurrection ritual could begin.
The mission, passed down for 1,500 years, may finally be accomplished in his hands. How exciting that is!
However, now that he knows the truth, he is too tired to love anymore. Physical matters are no longer important. In any case, the mission was wrong from the beginning and could never succeed.
Seeing this, Ma En didn't disturb them any further, letting them have some peace and quiet for a while. He then led the six people in the direction the village chief had indicated.
During this time, the Lion King asked Marne, "Master, is this the person you're looking for who has undergone this strange change? Why?"
0.9 Ma En nodded: "Yes, as for why... you'll find out in time."
Marx and Engels would never admit that he had a collecting obsession.
Yes, Ma En actually wanted to adopt or take Gray as his apprentice. After all, putting everything else aside, her 'Takeuchi face' alone was worth the effort.
Besides, Grey is incredibly cute, and Maren doesn't want to let that Webber have her.
Of course, the purpose of coming here is not only this, but also the Holy Lance Rungominiad, which has been passed down to this day.
This is a rare treasure. He already has the Noble Phantasm 'Gate of Babylon', but it doesn't contain many good items. This holy lance is perfect for him to show off.
Chapter 171 Kidnapping? No! I just want to take on a disciple!
The group arrived at a house, and without even knocking, the commotion from the nearby villagers had already alerted the family to come out and see what was going on.
A man in his thirties and a woman in her early twenties, with a cute little girl of about four or five years old.
Surprisingly, the little girl didn't look like either of them at all. Instead, she resembled the Lion King and Mordred from Marne's side, looking like a miniature version of them, or a younger version of Takeuchi.
