Type-Moon Simulation: Starting with Conquering a Greek Goddess!-Chapter 127 - : The More Pain, the More Prosperity
Chapter 127 - 127: The More Pain, the More Prosperity
[The stomach-churning love triangle didn't last long]
[Artoria kept a wary eye on Merlin the entire time]
[She wasn't afraid of being stolen from, but she was afraid of being coveted]
[The conversation eventually returned to serious matters, and you had to make decisions for Britain's future]
[If you wanted to save the impoverished Britain]
[The first thing to address was the constant invasion by other races, and the continuous loss of mystery in Britain]
[The other races would still invade even without Vortigern]
[Vortigern was just a catalyst for them, their goal of plundering Britain remained unchanged]
[They didn't want to settle on this land]
[They just wanted to take everything]
[The driving force behind their actions was survival, as the Saxons, driven out of the continent, needed resources to live]
[Britain, as it was now, couldn't accept other races]
[It was already struggling to survive]
[For both the Saxons and the Britons, if they couldn't grow crops for a year, they would face extinction]
[Both sides were the same]
[From the beginning, you knew this]
[Coexistence wasn't an option for the Britons, this was a war for survival where one side had to be completely destroyed]
[On top of that, the enemies weren't just the other races]
[Part of the Roman Empire also planned to join the war]
[They intended to invade Britain, exhausted from fighting the other races, and bring it back under their rule]
"Those other races are still relentless. If this continues, the only option is to go on the offensive. But solving these problems requires an expedition, and that requires sufficient supplies and resources..."
[Artoria showed a troubled expression]
[She understood what this decision meant for Britain]
[To defeat the invading enemies]
[The first thing to secure was the supply lines, but Britain's resources were completely insufficient]
[Even to ensure the bare minimum]
[They would have to drain the resources of several villages, which was undoubtedly a cruel choice]
[To protect the country and eliminate the enemies]
[They would have to let the flames burn their own homeland]
[For the knights, this was an unnecessary sacrifice, it would tarnish their glory and sully their honor]
[Of course, everyone understands that not doing so would result in more casualties, but in the end, it's unlikely that anyone would accept it]
[Humans are emotional beings]
[They cannot live purely by reason]
[Think about it, which king in any world would burn their own homeland to fight against barbarians?]
"It's not just this issue. If we want to extend the life of Britain, we also need a level of mystery that can match it."
"...What about searching for the Holy Grail?"
"If it's a miracle like the Holy Grail, it could theoretically extend Britain's life for a while, but not for long."
[The discussion turned to the topic of mystery]
[After listening for a while, you shared your thoughts]
"There's no need to search for the Holy Grail. It won't yield any results and will only cost us many noble knights."
While the two women were still discussing the feasibility, Moran had already made up his mind.
With knowledge from the Moon World, he knew the outcome.
In the future, the Knights of the Round Table, Galahad and Percival, would disappear while searching for the Holy Grail.
"Is it... your future vision...?"
"Well, something like that. So, don't waste energy searching for the Holy Grail. It won't do Britain any good."
"If we can't search for the Holy Grail, we'll need another miracle to save Britain... Merlin, is there any way to revitalize this land?"
[Artoria turned the question to the sage]
[She was a king skilled in governance and warfare, but her knowledge of the mystical side was limited]
[Faced with this difficult problem]
[Merlin thought for a moment, her lips curling into a smile]
"If we're not pursuing the Holy Grail, then the only known mystery that can save Britain is Moran, as Albion. Even the Holy Grail sought by the faithful cannot compare to the 4.6 billion years of mystery within the Dragon of Albion."
Merlin's smile was so enchanting it stirred the heart.
It was as empty as the night sky.
It gave Artoria a sense of foreboding.
"The most direct way is to use Albion's true ether/blood to irrigate this land. With such a miracle, Britain could enjoy favorable weather for at least the next few decades."
The unchanging smile of the dream demon was too beautiful.
Like a delicate piece of art, not like a flesh-and-blood human.
It revealed a cold and ruthless side.
A dream demon who had lost love would not favor anyone, so there was no such thing as humanity.
She wouldn't deny that she cared for the strongest dragon.
But it was only care.
The love in her heart had long been burned away by her nature, and it could no longer stir up any significant waves.
"No! This is unacceptable!"
Artoria was more furious than ever before.
She slammed the table with both hands.
Hearing Merlin's cold and heartless words, she caught a glimpse of the dream demon's true nature.
It felt like an ice pillar had been thrust into her body, sending chills throughout.
Her heart, as strong as the white walls of Camelot.
Now felt waves of unease and fear.
She chose to shut her ears to the unpleasant topic, clenching her teeth as a form of resistance.
"Artoria, there's no need to be angry with Merlin. She's just stating the facts. To be honest, Britain now needs this level of mystery to be saved."
"Moran, I don't want to discuss this anymore! Even if it's the right thing to do, I don't want you to build my kingdom with your blood! I never wanted you to end up like this! I'll find another mystery to replace it. There's no need for you to make this sacrifice now!"
[Artoria's emotions were running high]
[She completely ignored the composure expected of a king, not even considering the feasibility of the plan]
[After all, this was about you]
[A King Arthur with personal desires might be hard to imagine, but this version of her was more human]
[In fact, they all knew]
[If they wanted to save this country and homeland, the strongest dragon would have to endure constant pain]
[The more you roared in pain, the more you struggled]

[The more prosperous the country would become. It was a fair exchange, a natural cost]
[This is what a miracle is]
[The dragon's pain could build the most supreme utopia]
[But the king would not allow it]
[Not out of the lofty ideals of chivalry, nor the moral constraints of humanity. As a woman, she could not accept letting her beloved suffer for the sake of the country's future]
