When William crawled out of the lake like a drowned rat, he had unknowingly learned to swim.
The child sat down on the ground, spitting out bubbles and panting heavily. He was wet all over. His originally shining blond hair was like a bird's nest. The chill brought by the lake in winter made the boy shiver like a pitiful bird. The ugly little beast.
The fairies in the forest looked at the poor child and were so sad that they almost shed tears. They all accused Artoria of going too far. At the same time, they wanted to hold William in their arms and comfort her, even though Facing the master of the fairyland, they have been criticizing him verbally and unceremoniously.
However, even though the fairies accused Artoria of going too far in her education, they did not stop Artoria's education, let alone deny her the right to educate her children.
Whether it is humans or animals, it is the mother who has the greater influence on the child. The first syllable that a human child learns is also the mother.
Since ancient times, kittens have learned to hunt from their mothers, and puppies have learned to fight from their mothers. William will learn the greatest education from his own mother, and it would not be possible without Artoria.
In history, the incompetence of monarchs is often summarized as the monarch was raised in a deep palace and grew up in the hands of women. This is actually a summary of failure.
Because countless outstanding monarchs in history were also raised by his mother, such as Alexander the Great's mother Olympias who had a profound influence on him.
Artoria is not only a mother. As King Arthur, she is also performing the duties of a father. Therefore, the fairies accuse this education of being a bit excessive, but they also understand that only her education can make William truly outstanding. people.
This child is not an ordinary human being, he is a prince, the future king, who will bear the fate of a country.
"If you've rested enough, practice running for me."
Arturia picked up the whip and hit William on the back. A hot scar instantly appeared on his back, and the originally intact clothes were also smashed.
William looked at Artoria with resentful eyes and clenched his fists. Even he knew that he was no match for Vivian, the fairy of the lake. If he didn't want to be beaten, he had to follow her orders and run. .
William ran as fast as he could, while Arturia stood there with a whip. If William lost speed while running, a whip would hit him hard and mercilessly. , the fairies couldn't help but turn away from seeing this cruel side, and at the same time they couldn't help but complain about Artoria's actions.
Educating your children is a mother’s basic right for her children. As the saying goes, parents are their children’s first teachers. This sentence is correct.
"Aren't you worried that your children will resent you?" the fairies asked.
Every mother longs for the respect and love of her children. As a parent, she will definitely long for this kind of parent-child love and the sense of accomplishment as a parent. She hopes that her children can respect her.
"It is definitely a lie to say that I don't want my children to love and respect me, but I hope that my children will not lose their lives easily. If they can survive, then it doesn't matter if they hate me. Once they die like this, then Neither his love nor his hatred means anything to me."
Arturia answered the fairy's question calmly. She didn't know if she was really qualified to make her children proud of their past based on her own past history.
After all, King Arthur was a subjugated monarch who could not protect his country and people. She hid her identity because she found it difficult to raise her head in front of her children. But even so, when she felt that she would become William's mother, she decided to William must not be allowed to make the same mistakes he made.
She couldn't be proud of William, but she wanted to be proud of William.
Strength may be acquired innately or acquired, but no matter which way it comes, strength is strength, and there is no distinction between high and low.
Because William was blessed by seven fairies when he was born, he has
Signed with the power of a demigod hero, but in Artoria's opinion, this physique is more of a curse than a blessing from the fairy.
Heroes have the blood of gods, so they are naturally powerful. Although they are not gods, they are superior to humans by blood. They are stronger than humans in all physical qualities from birth, and can easily defeat monsters that mortals cannot defeat.
But throughout the history of Greece, the only one who could be famous among the gods and compete with them was the great hero Hercules.
Is Hercules too strong?
Or maybe the other heroes are too weak?
This is not an easy question to answer. Among the star-studded human heroes in Greek history, many are descendants of Zeus and other gods. They are not inferior in terms of origin, bloodline, and ability, because they The fundamental source of bloodline is the gods, so the power of the demigod hero reflects not the power of the hero, but the source of the hero's bloodline, the power of the gods.
Just as the descendants of lions are also lions, lions are naturally stronger than ordinary beasts.
No one has any doubts about this and takes it for granted. It has been like this since ancient times.
Is it right that this has been the case since ancient times?
The weakness of heroes lies in their over-reliance on their innate strength. As long as they continue to develop the blood of God flowing in their bodies, they can become stronger.
It's just that real power, real strength, is invisible and intangible. It does not exist in the concentration of blood, nor in special abilities, nor in the blessings of gods.
The so-called true strength is the strength of wisdom and faith, the perfect harmony between spiritual will and body.
William is destined to complete his great mission and bear the glory of a great kingdom, but it is not easy to complete a great mission. It is extremely difficult for William to complete this mission, and it cannot be easily accomplished just by the prediction of fate.
If God or destiny could do anything through their own will, it would only cause the world to fall into disorder, just like she did in the past.
At the last moment of her life, she gave up her will to survive and chose to escape, but this did not mean that she was willing to watch William go back to his old path.
A hero does not have courage because he has the blood of the gods flowing through his body, and he has strength, and then he can achieve meritorious deeds and gain glory to become a hero.
In the world of "Heracles, Son of Zeus", real heroes challenge various trials because of their courage, gain glory and become heroes, sons of Zeus, and Hercules. ·
If it is because of the blood of God that one has strength and courage, then this kind of courage is just gold-plated. Once it loses its power, it is just a fake.
Achilles was blessed with immortality by his mother, the sea goddess Thetis, but he relied too much on this power and died on the battlefield.
Three years, William can only stay in Avalon for three years, and then he will be allowed to meet his destiny.
Hope he can pull out the sword in the stone.
