Chapter 1648 - 1130: Innocent From Beginning to End (Part 2)
In light of this, Reiger repeatedly emphasized that Britain has no future.
This time, it’s the same.
Moreover...
"Ultimately, this is a Lostbelt, a history without a future that has been pruned away."
Reiger said this.
"Even if Morgan drained the Magic Power from the Phantasmal Tree, the foundation of the Lostbelt, to maintain Britain’s existence in an alternative way, turning it into a world similar to a Singularity, its essence remains unchanged."
"This world is too ephemeral, far less real than Pan-Human History."
"Rather than being dragged down by this Lostbelt, I believe you North Fairies have a more suitable choice."
There is no need to elaborate on what this choice is.
"Defeat Morgan, liberate the throne, resolve the collapse phenomenon of Pan-Human History, then the royal clan can choose to settle in Pan-Human History."
Reiger offered his suggestion.
"Britain is decaying, the throne is hollow, rather than vying for such things, it would be better to choose a brighter future."
To Reiger, the North Fairies naturally do not belong to the system of the Original Six Fairies’ clan, and there is no need to bear the original sin of Britain on behalf of that group.
The sins they committed should be repaid by them.
The evils they wrought should be borne by them.
"You should bear the favor of Albion, not the sins of Britain."
Reiger cast out such words in the end.
"If you truly want the North Fairies to have a peaceful, tranquil future, then leave this land."
"From the beginning, you should not have any entanglement with everything on this land."
"Living in forests and lakes that Albion transformed, you should not have become like this."
Reiger’s words had to be said—they deeply impacted Noconalay.
In those past days, when the North Fairies lived in forests and lakes transformed by Albion, without contact with Britain, how peaceful and serene was it?
These beings existed thanks to Albion’s blessing, fundamentally different from the Original Six Fairies’ clan of Britain, without original sin, Curse, disaster, or war—so blessed and peaceful.
Until Britain expanded and discovered the forests and lakes, the Six Fairy Clans started massacring the North Fairies for more land and amusement, starting the Spring War, thoroughly shattering the peace and happiness of the North Fairies.
Fairy Calendar year 6000, 8000 years ago from now, from the start of the Spring War then, the North Fairies fell into inescapable ruins.
The defeat in the Spring War led to the North Fairies being slaughtered, forcing the sole surviving Queen Mab to flee the lakes and forests, far from home, establishing the West Island, escaping only then.
Then began thousands of years of exile and silent growth, under which Queen Mab acquired the power of revenge to return to this land and initiate the Summer War.
But just as victory in the Summer War was imminent, Queen Mab’s lover passed away, and she was defeated in disgrace by Savior Shinobu, unable even to avenge her clan, she withdrew in sorrow, watching the fairy clans continue to fight and kill, gradually numbing her from the pain.
It could be said that the North Fairies have been innocent from start to end.
They, too, are victims, the object of persecution by the southern fairies with original sin, similar to the Beast God Cornus.
They should hate them, be angry, not bear the sins of this country again.
Just as Reiger suggested, they should choose a brighter future, not face repeated curses from the Beast God Cornus and recurring disasters just like now, even if they defeat Morgan and gain Britain.
Compared to Britain, perhaps... Pan-Human History might indeed be a better place.
Noconalay began to look absent, lost in her own thoughts.
Reiger did not hurry, quietly waiting for Noconalay to organize her thoughts.
Altoria watched Noconalay, suddenly feeling pity for her.
Or rather, all the royal clan and the North Fairies were pitiable.
Because of the unforgivable crimes committed by the Original Six Fairies and the clans that stemmed from them, the North Fairies were implicated, even if they have regained the lakes and forests now, they still need to submit to Queen Morgan and suffer the Curse, threatening disaster on this land, which they need not bear.
They are entirely innocent, collateral damage.
As the only survivor of the North Fairies—as Mab’s successor, Noconalay, too, could be said to be the only remaining descendant of the fairy race of the North Fairies, yet she still has to lead the royal clan, working hard for their welfare, a truly arduous and thankless role, making one sigh inevitably.
After all, strictly speaking, the fairies of the royal clan are fairies exiled from other clans, not originally like Noconalay’s North Fairies.
In essence, Noconalay is just like her, alone in all of Britain, without companions, without fellow clans, not belonging to any fairy clan... an outsider.
Seeing Reiger, Altoria, and Noconalay fall into silence, the group from Chaldea exchanged glances.
Through mutual understanding, Da Vinci broke the silence.
"If the royal clan... no, if the North Fairies wish to migrate to Pan-Human History, we Chaldea are willing to assist, welcoming the North Fairies."
Da Vinci expressed these words.
Although Pan-Human History is struggling, as the invasion of the Alien God has left humanity in disarray, Chaldea’s capacity should still manage to welcome the North Fairies.
Furthermore, should the North Fairies settle in Pan-Human History, it would indeed be beneficial.
At the very least, Chaldea would gain formidable strength, joining in resistance against the Alien God, collectively saving Pan-Human History, restoring humanity to its true form.
"...Let me think about it."
Eventually, Noconalay did not make a decision, suppressing various thoughts in her heart, standing up.
"I admit your words are compelling, but our royal clan... the North Fairies also have their own resolve."
"Even though we initially wandered and are used to migrating, leaving this land, leaving Edinburgh..."
"Frankly speaking, personally, I am unwilling."
Reiger did not find Noconalay’s words surprising.
The southern part of Britain might be one thing, but the northern part of Britain was originally Albion transformed into lakes and forests – fundamentally the homeland of the North Fairies, the blessed land unto them.
And the city of Edinburgh, although others do not know its true nature, Reiger knows all too well.
It, in fact, transformed into existence upon Queen Mab’s death, just as fairies return to nature upon demise, Queen Mab transformed into Edinburgh, continuously absorbing Magic Power to sustain the royal clan.
As the successor of Queen Mab, Noconalay naturally is unwilling to abandon Edinburgh, much less inhabit Pan-Human History.
But apart from being Queen Mab’s successor, she is also the leader of the royal clan, she must not only think about herself but also the future of her clans.
Should she keep her clans on this land to suffer incessantly from threatening "disasters"?
Noconalay felt she needed to consider carefully.
"Soldiers, arrange quarters for the emissaries of the Round Table."
Noconalay turned and issued the command.
"Before I make a decision, treat them well, do not neglect them."
