Chapter 2190 - 1103: Brave Love
Mordred was momentarily stunned.
What? What’s going on? The young lady has become my dad or mom?
Although City Spirit Miss had a good impression of the young lady before, ever since they first met at the Dragon Roar Colosseum, she always felt a sense of familiarity with this little witch, and couldn’t help but be drawn to her from time to time.
And the experience of building ships together at the Shipbuilding Workshop also made her develop a growing fondness for the young lady, feeling that she is truly a talented and capable person.
Therefore, when Lancelot and Guinevere said they were going to introduce her to the young lady, Mordred felt a bit happy.
Well, although it felt a bit like an arranged blind date by the elders, the Knight Girl didn’t mind; she thought that even becoming friends with the young lady would be nice.
She really didn’t have many friends.
However, now.....
Friends turned into parents.
No, how is this possible? I’m over two hundred years old, suddenly having a mom who’s just a teenager, tell me, is that reasonable?
"Auntie, what are you talking about, how is this possible?"
At this moment, Mordred couldn’t hold it in any longer and loudly said this to Guinevere.
Then she glanced at the young lady, hoping she would also loudly denounce such nonsense with her, however.....
Mordred saw the young little witch’s pupils suddenly contract, and then her expression changed, from shock to doubt, to struggle, and finally acceptance.
After a long while, she saw the young lady finally let out a long breath, then looked seriously in her direction.
"Hmm, I will take good care of you."
The young lady said very seriously, as if making some kind of vow.
Mordred: "....."
No, young lady, you’re serious, who’s asking you to be responsible, we didn’t even know each other before, and yet you, a teenage little witch, dare to claim me as your hundreds-of-years-old daughter, where does your courage come from?
City Spirit Miss was almost amused.
However, she quickly couldn’t laugh anymore.
"Isn’t it true that your main cannon always feels a bit stuck when charging, the transformation system always seems a bit delayed, and there’s always a loophole in the defense shield, with specific coordinates at..."
Dorothy looked at Mordred, seemingly unbelieving, and sighed.
She too had complex feelings, did you think a sixteen-year-old girl is willing to suddenly become a dad? But it’s different if you don’t know; since Guinevere already said this girl was the spirit of Dragon Mountain City, the homebody witch wasn’t about to avoid responsibility.
What she spoke of were the old flaws built into Dragon Mountain City since its initial design. After all, at the time of the Witch’s Night, the Magic Republic’s Magic Guided Technology was not mature, many designs were limited by conditions and could not be perfect and complete, so inevitably, compromises were made.
Yet, although the Shadow of Nibelungen seen earlier in the arena had undergone massive changes, with scale and strength far beyond the Dragon Mountain City of old, presumably after numerous reinforcements and modifications in the aftermath of the Witch’s Night, Dorothy wasn’t sure which problems were fixed or not, so she could only mention all the issues present in her original design to prove her identity.
Tsk, it’s almost like revealing a secret birthmark on a child during a family reunion to prove her identity, although this "birthmark" is somewhat peculiar, the principle is similar.
"Hmm, when I designed you back then, there were indeed many flaws, but those were limited by the times. I actually made a revised perfect blueprint after that, originally just to fulfill a dream’s regret, never expected it would come in handy. But now, since this dream has come true, I’ll pass this blueprint over to you."
The homebody witch said so, then waved her hand, sending a burst of Magic Power containing the perfect Dragon Mountain City design blueprint towards Mordred.
The rebellious Round Table Knight girl originally wanted to refuse, after all, she didn’t want a teenage young mom, she already had both parents, why need a third person.
But the string of Dragon Mountain City flaws the young lady mentioned earlier directly left her stupefied, her spirit greatly shaken.
After all, no one knew herself better than the city spirit did, although most flaws mentioned by the young lady were outdated, already repaired and optimized by the Round Table Knights, repair doesn’t negate existence, and indeed some core issues remain unsolvable.
Those problems are like congenital diseases carried from the womb, very difficult to cure, even after multiple consultations with the Dragon King and the Round Table Knights’ experts, they ultimately weren’t the designers of Dragon Mountain City, some problems they couldn’t address.
Or rather, it’s not that they didn’t know how to fix it, but didn’t know how to do so without drastically altering Dragon Mountain City, something only the original author could achieve.
Sigh, anyone who’s restored old buildings knows that sometimes starting from scratch is easier than perfect restoration, while the Round Table Knights can make her perfect, they can’t ensure the ultimate perfect city remains Dragon Mountain City.
