Interlude while Eating

Mordred came to the shop which she thought tasted very good.

Then, under the tutelage of the shopkeeper, he served Mordred a dozen dishes.

Wu Ming was a symbolic place for some dishes, and then looked at Mordred who was starting to eat, and couldn't help but mutter in a low voice...

"Are the people from the Pendragon family all greedy? The same goes for King Uther as well as Artoria eating very much. Now that Mordred ate so much, I was a little skeptical. Does the Pendragon family have two stomachs…"

While eating happily, Mordred looked at Wu Ming, tilted his head and said, "Huh? Did you say something?"

"No, how can it be, eat quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."

With that, Wu Ming also picked up the tableware and started a war on the tip of his tongue.

"By the way, it tastes good," Wu Ming said uneasily.

"Yes, right? The food at this shop is amazing. Ahhh..."

After that, Mordred took another bite.

"Yes, yes."

Wu Ming looked at Mordred slightly sinking.

(It makes sense that Mordred is also my daughter...)

Because Morgan le Fay wanted to create an invincible weapon to help him usurp King Arthur throne, Morgan le Fay collected Wu Ming blood and mixed his own blood with Artoria and Wu Ming. Finally, Mordred was born.

Because Wu Ming Dragon of Root bloodline is too strong, his bloodline in Mordred body is very thin.

Even though Mordred body belongs to the very thin Dragon of the bloodline, Mordred can be said to be Wu Ming daughter.

At the Knights Round Table, Mordred is disliked by others, and only Wu Ming approached Mordred with the tragedy of avoiding the destruction of the kingdom of Artoria by King Arthur son like a legend.

But in the days after the approach, Wu Ming found that Mordred character was too simple, like a child born several years ago, and Mordred had feelings of admiration for King Arthur.

Other than Scathach, Medb, and Cu Chulainn that Wu Ming met earlier did not match the personalities of the characters he had studied.

The Scathach that Wu Ming understood, was an indifferent god slaying warrior who couldn't ignore talented people, when he met Scathach like a big sister. Of course, when Scathach trained and fought his attitude was very different.

And Medb, according to legend, Medb is a slut young woman, a proud and intelligent woman, but the Medb that Wu Ming met, although a bit arrogant, but the character is not slut.

Then came Cu Chulainn. Legend has it that Cu Chulainn was a fiery warrior, and he was extremely ruthless.

He often broke the agreement and killed several people in sneak attacks. The character of Cu Chulainn that Wu Ming met was a pure warrior, and he was not ruthless.

As for killing others in a sneak attack against the agreement, Wu Ming said even more nonsense. Cu Chulainn is not that kind of person.

This made Wu Ming seriously suspect that the legendary stories of this world were very inconsistent with the legends he knew.

So that Wu Ming no longer learned from the personalities of the characters he knew, and he began to treat them as strangers.

In his subsequent contact with Mordred, Mordred seems to find himself related to Silence, so she often avoids Silence which causes good and bad relations between the two.

Wu Ming shook his head, looked back at Mordred who was eating, and smiled.

"What's wrong, why are you suddenly laughing?" said Mordred as she looked at the smiling Wu Ming.

Wu Ming took his fork and took a bite of the beef. Enjoying the juicy beef, he subconsciously replied, "It's okay, I only remember happy things."

"Confusing…." Mordred didn't look at Wu Ming, and continued his conquest for food.

At this time the shop door opened, and a pair of figures walked in.

"Sir Soderlake!"

"And the Red Saber!"

Wu Ming and Mordred looked at the door, and Sieg and Astolfo stood there looking at them.

Mordred said uncomfortably, "What does the red Saber mean? Always feels like I caught it! Damn it!"

Even though Mordred said so, she wasn't too angry and continued to eat.

Sieg and Astolfo were slightly embarrassed, standing there smiling awkwardly.

Wu Ming immediately said: "Since you two are here, let's eat together."

For a moment, the owner brought some dishes that Sieg and Astolfo ordered, but neither Sieg nor Astolfo started eating, but seemed to have something to say.

"Just say it straight away.". Said Wu Ming.

Sieg hesitated for a moment, then looked at Wu Ming.

"Un, does Sir Soderlake think that existing human history is correct?"

Wu Ming put down the cutlery, took the tissue next to him, wiped his mouth, and asked.

"Is that Jack the Ripper?"

"Yeah...Though it's not all humans, but..."

Sieg seemed to remember the scene he saw in Jack the Ripper Noble Phantasm, and didn't speak again.

"So, what do you think of this question Mordred?" Wu Ming didn't answer Sieg right away, but asked Mordred.

"Why are you suddenly asking me!" Mordred raised his eyebrows and looked at Wu Ming.

Mordred said while chewing the food in his mouth.

"Humans are humans. They are a group of animals that may be good or evil depending on the situation. In the final analysis, they were just a bunch of slightly clever beasts."

Then she took a fork and put a piece of cake in his mouth.

"They will only act under the impulse of selfish desires. If they received help, they would soon forget it, but hatred would never be forgotten. The value of protecting them isn't even worth a coin."

Mordred completely ignored Sieg increasingly confused eyes and continued to speak.

"No, humans are interesting like this, so I…" Astolfo replied.

However, Mordred didn't care about it and interrupted him.

"What about you, what do you think."

Sieg thought for a moment and said.

"I…I think I liked humans, at least before I found out about the Black Assassin."

"Now what?"

"…I don't know…I always thought that protecting was right, but now…Is this choice right? I do not know..."

Seeing Sieg who lowered his head, Wu Ming smiled.

"Then I congratulate you first, Sieg."

"Oh!?" Sieg and Astolfo looked at Wu Ming in confusion.

"Because you are thinking in the right direction, Sieg."

Wu Ming looked at Mordred, feeling the gaze make Mordred slightly uncomfortable.

Then he looked at Sieg.

"Don't mention whether the things you protect are true, you at least have the right approach. Regardless of the ending, at least the starting point is good."

Wu Ming took a sip of the drink and continued.

"This is already a very good thing for a Homunculus like you who was born not too long ago."

Then Wu Ming looked at Mordred who had finished eating, and moved his eyes.

Mordred understood the meaning, stood up, and walked towards the door.

Wu Ming also stood up, and they left.

"You still have a lot to learn, Sieg, at least I can tell you that there is nothing wrong with protecting humans, but you have to distinguish between those that deserve to be protected and those that don't."

Mordred walked out of the shop, Wu Ming followed closely, and Wu Ming left a message for Sieg

"Only by protecting the things worth protecting, can you live according to your heart."

At this moment, Sieg seemed to understand something, and he seemed to understand nothing.

In short, he no longer felt as flustered as before.

"By the way, help pay the bill." Wu Ming voice sounded after he left.

Then Sieg and Astolfo fell to the ground and couldn't get up again.
