Looking at the two options before him, Souya, who had come to his senses, began to think hard. He had never thought there would be something like a multiple-choice question. He didn't expect to have to do this even in another world.
Damn it, the Chinese education system is still chasing me.
Pushing aside the miscellaneous thoughts, he began to analyze. The two options were very simple and clear, but precisely because of this, he could vaguely sense that they must have an important role.
Option 1, enter the lake.
Combining the elements of Britain, a lake, and mystery, it was not difficult for him to deduce who the master of this lake was, and how important this lake was in British mythology. To be honest, he was very tempted by this option, but it wasn't the lake he was tempted by, but the master of the lake.
But if a wild fairy like him were to rashly enter this holy lake, would he really not be seen as a blasphemer and be casually destroyed?
Hmm... needs some thought, let's look at the next one.
Compared to option 1, the information given by option 2 was also fine, but he couldn't guess what practical benefits it could bring him. Could it be that in that territory, there was a group of young girls bathing by the river, waiting for his arrival? This was a legitimate novel website. This kind of plot was absolutely not okay, you bastard!
After thinking back and forth, he really couldn't make a choice, and was suddenly in a dilemma. One was to boldly pursue an opportunity, the other was to wait and hold onto hope. It was really a difficult choice...
And at this moment, the system's voice brought him a great surprise, like hearing heavenly music.
[Does the Host wish to enable the 'Deduction' function? Deduction can let the Host choose an option to deduce its fate, so as to help the Host make a better choice of fate.]
[And the successful experience of the deduction will not completely disappear, but will be remembered by the person in the deduction in other ways. The skill rewards and causal bonds produced by it can also be inherited by the Host with a certain probability, even if another path is chosen.]
[In addition, the 'Deduction' function can only be used three times on each path of fate. I hope the Host will cherish it.]
Good, good, system, you're so useful! I'll never call you useless again!
Hearing this, he no longer hesitated.
Only children, no, little fairies, make choices! As an adult fairy, I want them all!
"Choose option 2, and begin the deduction!"
[Deduction begins:]
[You have left the lake and chosen to follow the river downstream.]
[Soon you arrive at a territory. You notice that the name of Sir Ector is written on the wooden plaque at the entrance of the territory. You think that the master of this place must be him.]
[You only feel a little familiar with this Sir Ector, but you are very sure that you don't know him, and there is no such person in your memory.]
[You think you might have heard it by chance from the conversations of some knights.]
[The water flows gently. You follow the river that runs through the territory and enter it.]
[What you see is a huge golden wheat field, which is very pleasant under the sun. There are also many tenant farmers working in the field.]
[You are a little surprised by the scene before you, because in the current turmoil of Britain, both this rolling wheat field and the faces of the tenant farmers in the field, which are covered with sweat but full of happiness, are extremely rare, and even incredible.]
[After all, no matter where, as long as there is war, it is always the bottom class who suffers and pays for it.]
[Through your Fairy Eyes, you see the fading magical energy of the British Age of Gods being turned into nutrients by some magical power and entering the wheat seedlings. You think this must be the reason why this place is different from other places in Britain.]
[After a little thought, you understand what this is.]
[Magic. Without a doubt, Sir Ector's territory has definitely been cast with magic by a magus with profound magical attainments.]
[To be blessed by a magus at the end of the Age of Gods, you realize that this place must not be simple.]
[After a little thought, you decide to go deep into the territory to investigate.]
[As for danger? You feel that no magus would be willing to live among a crowd for a long time. Besides, you are just a water fairy.]
[What bad thoughts could a little fairy have?]
[After wandering around in the depths of the territory, you finally see something that interests you in Sir Ector's garden.]
[To be precise, it's a little golden-haired shota practicing basic swordsmanship by the river with a wooden sword.]
[Although there is no picture of a girl bathing as you had imagined, this little boy, dressed as a knight's attendant, has also attracted your attention.]
[For no other reason, his swordsmanship is too poor. He has the form and momentum, but seven-tenths of his ten-tenths of strength is lost, leaving only three-tenths.]
[You can't help but speak up, 'If your swordsmanship talent is only so shallow, then I'm afraid you will never become a qualified knight in your life.']
[The youth is very surprised to hear a strange voice. He looks up and around, and finally casts his gaze into the river where you are.]
[You are very surprised that this child's perception is so sharp, that he has confirmed your position so quickly.]
['Hello, sir. Excuse me, are you in the water?']
[The youth greets you politely. Through the sparkling water surface, you glimpse the youth's delicate and pretty face, which is enough to make you doubt his gender.]
[What a beautiful boy. You, who were once a priest, thought with a wandering heart.]
Souya: ?
Damn it, we're still in the deduction. I won't argue with you, this useless system.
[Out of a good first impression of the youth, you did not choose to hide as before, but answered him generously.]
[After confirming that the voice just now did indeed come from the water, the youth's expression is surprised. You also do not shy away and tell him that you are a fairy.]
[You know that the parents of Britain will tell their children little stories about things like fairies, pixies, and giants when they are young. Although most fantastical species have already gone to the Inner Sea of the Planet now that the mystery is fading, this does not stop the children from having heard about these things.]
[But what surprises you is that after hearing what you said, this youth's expression is still confused and bewildered, as if he doesn't know what a fairy is.]
[You are a little confused. How do this child's parents raise him? Does he not have a childhood?]
[But although he doesn't know about the race of fairies, which is outside of humans, the youth did not care too much, but focused all his attention on the problem you pointed out earlier.]
[Unexpectedly, this golden-haired youth did not have the characteristic self-importance of young people, but was very humble and polite.]
[He humbly asked you about the problems with his sword skills. And faced with such a cute and polite little shota, you did not hold back. After pointing out his problems, you also guided him on how to correct and practice.]
[And through your conversation with him, you learned his name, 'Artorius', and also understood that he had been receiving the guidance of a knight since he was a child. He had spent his earlier years learning knightly etiquette and spirit, and had only recently begun to practice martial arts.]
[Soon, the sun set. Under your guidance, Artorius's problems with his basic swordsmanship were quickly corrected. Although not reaching the theoretical one hundred percent exertion of strength you had mentioned, he had reached six or seven-tenths, reaching the level of a normal knight.]
[You couldn't help but marvel at his powerful talent. To have reached this level with just an afternoon of verbal guidance and practice, with time, this child will surely achieve great things!]
[Soon, night fell. Artorius, who was diligently practicing his skills, his stomach rumbled. Under the youth's embarrassed blush, a call for him came from the distant mansion.]
[After an afternoon of getting along, the youth's goodwill and trust in you had strengthened a lot. He asked you with some trepidation if you would still be here tomorrow morning.]
[Faced with the youth's pitiful, kitten-like expression, you felt a strange feeling and also softened up.]
[Thus, you, who should have continued to travel with the current, chose to stay for the time being and guide this cute youth.]
[Just like that, you temporarily stayed in Sir Ector's territory. Every day you were with Artorius, and besides eating, sleeping, or when someone summoned him, he was basically with you.]
[As time passed, besides teaching him how to train and techniques, you would also tell him interesting news from outside the territory and some little stories you had adapted yourself.]
[After a long period of getting along, you found that although Artorius was as curious about the outside world and stories as most children, he was always restraining his curiosity.]
[Every time you asked about this, he would just shake his head and say that he had a very important responsibility, and was shouldering the expectations and future of many people.]
[You felt a little angry and confused.]
[What kind of trash and bastard would put the responsibility and burden on an underage child.]
[Although you were helpless, you could not change his thoughts. This idea was already deeply rooted in his mind. Besides accompanying him and telling him more stories, there was nothing else you could do.]
[Time passed in a daze. This relationship with Artorius, which was both like a teacher and a friend, put you at ease, and the loneliness of not having anyone to talk to for a long time had disappeared a lot.]
[And the look in this little fellow's eyes at you had also changed from admiration and worship to trust and happiness.]
[You could see that the little fellow didn't have many friends and valued you very much.]
[But all of this was soon interrupted by a pink-and-white-haired man who suddenly broke into your dream.]
[He held a staff, wore a large white robe, and although his handsome face was always smiling, he gave off a scummy feeling.]
[This guy looked you up and down while clicking his tongue in amazement, constantly muttering things like 'there's actually a wild fairy', 'can't even see the future', 'still trying to dig my corner'.]
[Then you felt your consciousness fade. When you were clear again, you had already left Ector's territory. Even if you wanted to go back, you could no longer find the way.]
[Helpless, you could only continue to travel.]
[Ding, the deduction is over. You have obtained the special state 'Bond'.]
[Bond: The arrangement of fate will not disappear. You and a certain person will re-establish a bond at some point in the future. Wait, and hold onto hope.]
Slowly digesting the memories in his mind and reviewing the rapid yet real experience that was like a revolving lantern, Souya slowly let out a breath.
"Was I... kicked away by Merlin?"
