"Really? Then I want to learn to fly and get out of here!"
"It's so difficult right from the start? Flying is difficult. Even the Wind Fairy can't do it. That's the privilege of the Dragon Fairy and the Winged Fairy. It's not something you can do now. Learn some grounding skills first.
Come on!"
"Well, is there a magic trick that can keep you warm at night? My home is very cold, and I lost two of my toes last year!"
"...I'm going to study right now! No, I'm going to prepare teaching materials right now!"
Just like this, six-year-old Artoria began to learn magic with Merlin.
Although Merlin always said it was inconvenient and had to wait two or three days before he could teach her, but that must be because he put a lot of effort into letting me learn it even though my magic power is scarce.
For Artoria, that was the only happy time in childhood.
But even such simple happiness only lasted for one year.
A year later, the girl goblin who prided herself on "not changing her attitude towards others" saw her joking with her wand in the fields and secretly told the village chief about it.
The village chief thought her behavior was a bit suspicious and confiscated her staff of choice.
Since then, she has never heard Merlin's voice again.
In a trance.
It's just a stupid effort.
Artoria returned to the endless garden.
As soon as Muramasa and others defeated the monster, they saw Artoria reappearing in front of them.
"Is this a reckoning with memory?"
Arturia lowered her head, with no hint of joy or anger in her expression.
Gudazi and Ma Xiu came forward and greeted her.
Muramasa had a sullen face and said nothing.
Jiang Li lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
"How many times will this happen?"
"Huh? Do you mean the liquidation of memories? There will be a total of four times in winter, autumn, summer and spring!"
Merlin answered Jiang Li's question.
So, what just happened was the memory of winter?
It's really quite chilling.
"Let's move on to the next location!"
Everyone looked at each other in silence and headed to the next location in silence.
After arriving at the settlement point of Autumn Memory, Artoria disappeared in front of several people again.
It was replaced by the same monster as before.
However, unlike last time, this time the monster is a little less sharp and cold, and only a little bit desolate.
"Let's deal with it quickly!"
Muramasa pulled out his knife.
His sword swings were several times more brutal than before.
Jiang Li dispersed part of his mind and invaded Artoria's memory in the form of a dream.
The feeling of rejection is very strong. It is probably a system unique to this inner sea of stars. When the memory is being cleared, outsiders are not allowed to peek.
Jiang Li secretly increased the output of his magic power and at the same time released the flavor of his true ancestor.
The entrance suddenly relaxed slightly, allowing him to rush in.
He is the True Ancestor, but not the True Ancestor in the sense of Xingyue, but the True Ancestor from another world.
Because of this difference and the guarantee of Erquet's blood, he entered the eyes of the earth's will - in the eyes of the earth's will, failure to pinch someone is probably a lifetime pain, so pay special attention to him.
.
Of course, this is just Jiang Li's own speculation. No one knows what the facts are.

"Hey, Artoria, help me deliver something to Drifting Corner!"
"Well, okay!"
That was one day when I was in my early 12s.
An earth fairy looked like it was natural and threw down a set of iron armor before Artoria agreed.
Arturia didn't care, but said "Okay" with a smile and moved the armor.
She has no right to refuse.
No matter what kind of requests the villagers put forward, she must agree with a smile.
The twelve-year-old girl was not very strong, so it was a bit difficult to carry the armor. She rested several times on the way before arriving at Drifting Point with a huff and a puff.
It is said that there is a weirdo living here, who came here hundreds of years ago. Although he is from the earth clan, he refuses all contact with fairies. His face is not only terrifying, but he always puts on a bad face.
No one wants to get close to here.
Arturia didn't really want to go, but she had no choice but to go.
Jiang Li's figure appeared behind her.
He witnessed with his own eyes her clumsily holding the armor, climbing onto the high cliff of Drifting Point, and walking into the forge of the earth fairy.
"Don't touch anything here!"
The earth fairy with a terrifying face scolded angrily.
"Yes, I'm sorry! I think the ironware here is very well made, so I couldn't help it..."
Arturia was startled and quickly bowed and apologized to the other party.
"That face of yours...raise your head and let me see it!"
The old blacksmith of the Earth Fairy was stunned and ordered in a strong tone.
Arturia didn't dare to refuse, so she had to raise her face.
"Is that so, the rumors about the prophecy child are true?"
The old blacksmith smiled with nostalgia or mockery.
"If you like this place, you can come at any time. I will tell the village chief, the old man, if he doesn't agree, I will beat him hard!"
After saying this, he entered his workroom regardless.
Jiang Li witnessed the whole scene.
When the old blacksmith from the Earth clan appeared, he couldn't hold it back for a while.
"Ector...did he live in seclusion here?"
That old blacksmith turned out to be one of the four saviors who went on an adventure with Ai 2,400 years ago!
The immortal black knight——Eckert!
After the separation at Londinion, there was no news about him again.
I didn’t expect to live in seclusion here.
Artoria feels like she likes this place a little bit.
Because she can see that other fairies, no matter how nice their words are, are always dark in their hearts, but this blacksmith fairy who lives on Drifting Point is different.
He won't lie.
Although he speaks in a harsh tone, what he says is always his true feelings.
Moreover, the old blacksmith seems to have an extraordinary status, and even the village chief does not take him seriously.
So as long as you stay here, don't you need to flatter everyone in the village and smile at each other?
This made Artoria very excited.
So, after that, Artoria often ran in the direction of Drifting Corner.
Eckert, the old blacksmith, doesn't speak politely to the goblins in the village. Even when facing the village chief, he always puts on a stinking face.
But he was very kind to Artoria, and even passed on his blacksmithing skills to her.
This old man became Artoria's only comfort in the village of Tintagel.
Over time, she began to call him "Grandpa".
In the past four years, she felt the only warmth from this old man.
But this fairy country has never made it easy for the fairies in Paradise.
"Artoria, you are 16 years old and are about to go on a tour, but you are too weak now, and we are very worried!"
"If you are really the son of the prophecy, prove it to us! That old blacksmith is only good to you, so use this dagger to kill him! As long as we can kill him, we will be relieved!" p>
