Seeing this, Siegfried became more confident in his guess about "Merlin"'s true identity.

But no matter whether the identity of "Merlin" is what Siegfried thought, now is not the time to talk about it.

And it just so happens that Siegfried also has his own views on the things that "Merlin" is dissatisfied with:

"Actually, it's not just them. Didn't each of us born in this world carry the expectations of our parents and have our own mission?"

"The king's son was born with the mission of becoming a qualified monarch and leading the country to tomorrow."

"The son of a knight is expected to become a powerful knight, either to protect the monarch, or to gain glory."

"The sons and daughters of magicians are expected to have excellent talents, and they need to inherit the family inheritance, and they are burdened with the desire to go to the root."

"The sons and daughters of ordinary people also have to carry their parents' expectations and work hard because their parents hope that their children will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes."

"Everyone is born with the expectations of others, and therefore has his own mission."

Chapter 33 The Clown Is Myself? —Morgan (strike out)

"Everyone has an invisible calling, but the expectations that most people carry are less obvious because the expectations they carry are inseparable from their life goals."

"Perhaps there will be a very small number of people in the world who don't have to shoulder the mission of shouldering the expectations of others, and can 'freely' discover their hobbies and 'freely' choose their own future."

"However, this so-called 'freedom' is only relative. No one can be truly free."

"And it is precisely because of this pressure called 'expectation' and the motivation called 'mission' that human beings can move forward when they are young and ignorant."

"When people have more experience, experience and knowledge gradually increase, maybe at some point people will start to think about their own wishes."

"Some people may have new wishes, but most people will still choose to fulfill their innate 'expectations' and 'missions' as their wishes."

"It may sound pathetic to spend your whole life living up to other people's expectations, but isn't that what human beings are like?"

"Try to live a short life and leave the fruits of success to future generations. This is how human beings grow slowly and repeatedly, and civilization is slowly formed because of this."

"The power of a single person may be very small, but the civilization forged by human beings is extremely powerful, and human beings have become great because of this."

"And if one is really allowed to grow freely and explore one's own desires freely, not to mention whether one will become completely self-sufficient like a fairy in the legend, the formation of one's desire will also be facilitated by one's experience. "

"People who grow up with expectations are more likely to choose to fulfill other people's expectations when they finally choose their own wishes because they have more contact with their own expectations in the process of forming their wishes."

"As for saying that you have to give up your wishes because of reality, and do other things instead of realizing your wishes... In my opinion, it is also working hard to realize your wishes. Only when you have done what you should do can you do what you want thing."

"Because we are human beings, living in civilization, we have our own responsibilities and obligations, not fairies who can act recklessly."

"I was born in a family with a long history. As the eldest son, I should inherit the family and at the same time assume the responsibilities of the family."

"When I was a teenager, I felt that I was completely living in a cage called 'responsibility' because I came into contact with some literary works that praised 'freedom'."

"In pursuit of freedom, I, who was immature, chose to run away from home and escape that cage."

"A free life seems extremely beautiful, but the reality is that after escaping responsibility and leaving the family, I need to run around for a living, and I can't fully realize the wish of 'freedom', but at that time I still thought it was my destiny. resist."

"Until one day, I met something that I couldn't let go of."

"It wasn't until that day that I realized that my desire to be 'free' seemed a bit ridiculous, and it collapsed in front of my new desire."

"I want to realize my new wish. There are many things I need to do. The first step is to return to the family and take on the responsibilities that I once abandoned."

"Only by fulfilling that responsibility can I continue to move forward towards my aspirations."

While talking, Siegfried thought of his own experience, and couldn't help talking, but found that it seemed a bit far from what he wanted to express, so he changed the subject:

"Because I used to have the desire for 'freedom', even though this wish was later given up by myself, I still have some attachments to the word 'freedom'."

"That's why, after I knew the existence of Eri and the purpose of her existence, I asked Ahadeon to remove the function of the Lesser Holy Grail on her body, give her as free an environment as possible, watched her grow, and hoped that this girl would be as clean as a piece of paper. A man of soul can give birth to his will in freedom."

"But it's a pity, it seems that I gave her the 'freedom' in my eyes too deliberately, which brought too much influence on her, and eventually Ai Li, like most people, regarded the realization of my desire to play the role of an elder as a made his wish."

"There is no doubt that my expectations have failed. I thought I had removed her mission and expectations and given her the opportunity to 'grow freely'."

"But I don't know that the 'free growth' I gave her was not free from the beginning. She also carried my expectations, and based on this, she came up with her own wishes."

"Now that I think about it, my so-called 'give her a free environment to grow up' is not correct. It comes from subconscious arrogance."

"I put myself in a higher position, instead of treating her growth as an equal. Although I like Ai Li very much now, if I can do it again, I think I will change the way."

"Give her the opportunity to fulfill her mission, and watch her complete her mission with her own efforts and sweat. Presumably at that time, Aili already had her own wish?"

As Siegfried said, he looked at Irisviel, whose eyes were already full of tears, and opened his arms with a doting smile on his face.

Irisviel also ignored Caster's presence, and threw herself into her lover's embrace, feeling the familiar warmth:

"But even in that case, I will still fall in love with you, and my wish will not be any different from what it is now."

Caressing Miss Fiancee's long silver hair, Siegfried's heart was also full of affection.

"Merlin" fell into deep thought because of Siegfried's words...

Based on her experience, Siegfried's words were not brilliant at all, and could even be regarded as a bit confusing, but the content expressed in it reminded her a lot:

Her ridiculous younger sister, and her children from a long time ago, they all appeared with the purpose of achieving a certain goal, but in the end, they all found their desire.

Especially his nominal sister, although she was originally created because of the wish of her father, she has always been working hard for the goals set by others, and she lived in the wishes of others until her death .

But thinking about it now, she seems to have taken the expectations of others as her own wishes, and found the meaning of life from them.Even if it is a wish that arises under the influence of others, it is also her own wish.

From this point of view, it seems that he is too arrogant, and only unilaterally thinks that she is just a poor clown, moving forward with false wishes, it seems that it is not her who is sad and ridiculous, but... himself?

Chapter 34 Restoration Hopeful

"2 thunder pots, 1 dragon head stone, 1 brilliant dragon body stone, 2 dying souls, 1 big soul of an unknown soldier, 1 soul of a battle-hardened warrior, 1 soul of an ancient strongman, And... a soul of a great hero?"

In Einzbern Castle, Siegfried performed a long-lost "card drawing" in his magic workshop.

Three days have passed since the summoning of the servants.

Since Siegfried finished the chicken soup that morning, "Merlin"'s attitude towards him has improved to a certain extent.

After spending three days mobilizing a lot of materials, the Einzbern family built a "simple" magic workshop for the great magician "Merlin" as a place for his research.

After the construction of the magic workshop was completed, Siegfried was kicked out of the newly built magic workshop by "Merlin"——

"Merlin" said that even if Irisviel is only her temporary master, her current level of magic is still unqualified, and she will teach Irisviel well during the research process.

Although Siegfried also knew that his research talent as a magician was not very good, but the poor students who are eager to learn also want to listen to the lectures of a good teacher, so when "Merlin" said that he would teach Irisviel, he asked to sit in. .

But "Merlin" just gave him a "disgusting" look:

"Unless you are willing to give up your talent as a fighter and focus all your energy on magic research, you should be a fighter honestly and don't make trouble here, and your top priority now is not to learn magic, but to restore your soul injuries."

The subtext is obvious: You also know that you are not a magician, just be a fighter honestly.Not only will you be of no help staying here, but you will also get in the way and distract Irisviel, so it's better to hurry up and recover from your injuries, and don't make trouble for my old lady here.

Therefore, amid Alice Feil's helpless smile, Siegfried was sent out of the magic workshop by the disgusted "Merlin".

If you don’t listen, don’t listen. Anyway, Siegfried just had the idea of ​​listening to the lectures of top magicians on a whim.

In the past few days, Siegfried already knew that his golden finger had gained a lot of energy due to the disruption of his original destiny trajectory by his servant summoning, not only basically made up for the deficit, but also had some left over.

Although the remaining part of the charge is not much, far from enough to allow Siegfried to make a world transition and return to the Honkai world, it is still possible to perform a few "card draws".

After all, Goldfinger doesn’t need much power to draw cards. When Siegfried didn’t consciously intervene in the development of the “plot” in the Honkai world, the power he got made him spend dozens of rounds a month. "Happy Card Draw" day.

Therefore, under Siegfried's will, the remaining energy of Goldfinger was used to "draw cards".

Before "drawing cards", Siegfried thought that since one item can be used to lock a world for card drawing, can the breath of a type of item be used to increase the "shipment rate" of this type of item?

Driven by this idea, Siegfried found all kinds of "soul" breaths in his mind and started drawing cards:

Locked World: Dark Souls World

Target items: various "souls"

And this time the harvest of the "Ten Company" naturally made Siegfried very satisfied. He has a total of six "souls", and one of them is the "soul of a great hero".

Siegfried remembers very clearly that the description of "the soul of a great hero" is "after use, you can get the same soul as the salary king".

Salary King is a unique existence in the world of black souls. He uses himself as the first fire to burn, illuminating the whole world.

Although the quality of the Salary King seems to be inferior to the previous generation because of the burning down from generation to generation, in order to spread the fire, Losric even sent Eldridge, who was turned into a puddle of mud after cannibalism, to the throne of "Salary King".

But even these salary kings who are in the last generation of the "Fire Age", whose quality is far inferior to "Sun King Gwen" and "Destiny Immortal", are also salary kings, and their souls are also qualified to be burned by the first fire and illuminate the world .

Therefore, after seeing this "soul of a great hero" that claims to allow the user to obtain a soul equal to that of the Salary King after use, Siegfried felt that it would not be a problem for him to recover from his soul injury.

After all, although Siegfried said that he had integrated the "soul of the unknown king", due to the size of his own soul, he could not directly and completely digest it.After all, it is the soul of a powerful god who lived from the beginning of the Age of Fire to the end of the Age of Fire. Just tens of thousands of years of memory can make Siegfried lose himself——

It is also because of this that Siegfried, who incarnated as the "Dragon Hunting God of War" after arousing the power of "the soul of the unknown king" in the spiritual space, was directly lost in the ocean of memory and was almost assimilated.

Before merging the "soul of the unknown king", Siegfried also absorbed the "soul of wolf blood", which was the soul of one of the last salary kings, "Fran's Undead Team".

Even if this soul is composed of the souls of the members of the Falan Undead Squad, the memories it contains are far more messy than the "soul of the unknown king", and the impact is much smaller. At the same time, because it has been burned by the first fire, there is still a lot of power left in it. There are many, but it also made Siegfried who had excitedly absorbed it suffer a lot.

However, because the energy of the "soul of wolf blood" is not much, it is not too exaggerated to increase the volume of Siegfried's soul. The main gains obtained after absorbing it are the improvement of resilience after the mental shock and the experience of death battles in countless memory fragments , and... possible resistance to the abyss.

Precisely because of the loss of directly absorbing this "deformed soul" that contains memory, after obtaining the "soul of the unknown king", Siegfried chose to fuse first, and then digest it little by little, increasing his body size until he could carry it. That massive amount of memory will be completely digested.

Therefore, even after nearly ten years, Siegfried's soul volume has never reached the level of "Salary King".

Because the "soul of a great hero" is a soul without an owner, it will be directly transformed into soul energy and absorbed by Siegfried's soul without any danger.

Therefore, a "great hero's soul" is enough to repair Siegfried's injuries and then improve his soul size to a higher level.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart and calming down his mood, Siegfried had a thought, and a soul light cluster exuding a faint golden light emerged in his hand.

Feeling the powerful energy contained in it, Siegfried showed satisfaction on his face. No matter in terms of size or quality, this is the strongest unowned soul he has ever seen, and there is no problem in repairing the trauma on the soul.

Chapter 35 ready to complete

Einzbern Castle once again fell into tranquility, except that Erquite would show up in the dining room on time for breakfast and dinner every day to enjoy the food, there was no trace of life, it seemed that it was no different from the time in hundreds of years .

In this seemingly unchanged Snow City, time passed silently, and several people in the two magic workshops were also carrying out their work step by step:

The soul light cluster in Siegfried's hand had disappeared, and was completely absorbed by it, and Siegfried, who had his eyes closed tightly, revealed a far stronger aura than before.

In the newly built magic workshop on the other side, Irisviel made rapid progress under the guidance of "Merlin", and assisted in the research under the guidance of "Merlin".

And Airquite was also called to sleep in the magic workshop after the official start of the research. "Merlin" observed the mental fluctuations in his body while he was sleeping, and combined the complete servant summoning and contract information in his hand to analyze the memory. Exchange this process.

Finally, combined with the memory exchange between himself and Irisviel, the research of "Merlin" was completed, and he clearly understood the principle of memory exchange, and he could send one party's soul to the other party's body with the help of the contract. Let's talk about how to get Arquite's soul into Siegfried's space, and then he can start to act.

However, the premise of the plan is that Siegfried's soul can be restored.

Irisviel, who had returned from outside Siegfried's magic workshop disappointed once again, sat down in her seat, with obvious worry on her pretty face.

On the opposite side of Irisviel, was Alquette who was feasting on the snacks on the table, and "Merlin" was sitting beside her, sipping tea gracefully.

The tasks of several people have been completed, and they can relax for a while and enjoy a leisurely life, but Alice Feier has always been worried about Siegfried who has not yet come out of the magic workshop.

"Ai Li, your heart is too messed up, this shouldn't happen to an excellent magician."

Putting down the teacup in his hand, "Merlin" reminded him aloud.

"Sorry, teacher, but I really can't worry about him."

Irisviel had already worshiped "Merlin" as her teacher at this time, and immediately apologized when she heard what her master said.

"Now the aura there has gradually subsided, it is estimated that he will come out soon, and his strength will improve a lot."

"Merlin" recalled the powerful soul breath he felt during this time, and came to a conclusion.

When Siegfried just started to recover, even though separated by the protection of two magic workshops, "Merlin" could clearly feel the powerful soul breath and the desire from the soul.

But "Merlin" is not very human after all, she suppressed the longing in her heart in an instant, but she was just curious, where did Siegfried get the treasure with such powerful soul energy, even with her experience, she couldn't imagine No wonder he was so fearless about the wound on his soul.

"Merlin" is very satisfied with Siegfried's mystery...isn't it interesting?

On the side, Alquite heard the conversation between the two and said:

"Eri, don't worry, I can feel that the master is in good condition through the contract, and even some energy has been transmitted to me through the contract."

Although at the beginning Ai Li was a little dissatisfied with Alquette who indirectly caused Siegfried's soul to be injured, but the two who got to know each other quickly became good friends after a month of getting along.

Seeing that his first friend was so worried, Alquette also smiled and comforted him.

"I also know that he should be fine, but after all, it is a trauma to the soul, so I can't help but worry."

Although she knew that what the two of them said was reasonable, Irisviel's worries about her lover would not go away.

Regarding this, "Meilin" could only shake his head slightly, feeling that feelings are really a magical existence, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with him, he... huh?

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Merlin" looked at Irisviel:
