Chapter 367:
She just looked forward quietly, her face expressionless, and the last pity remained on her delicate face.
"You've got the Holy Grail, your wish has come true, it's all you want."
"Everything I want."
Artoris' desire to participate in the Holy Grail War is to save Britain from being divided. The immediate reason for the division of Britain was that he did not win the battle of Kamran, and now he is still alive.
——As long as the king is alive, the country will continue to last.
As if hearing this voice, Artoris cheered up, and when he looked at the Holy Maiden of Winter seriously, he found that she had disappeared.
After all, he was most concerned about the situation in Britain.
Artolis found a horse and drove non-stop to Camelot. When he returned to Camelot, he found that everything was completely different from what he expected. There was no trace of war here at all. The people in the city lived as usual, and there were laughter and laughter everywhere.
"Welcome back, King."
A knight appeared from the front to meet him.
"Did something happen to Camelot?"
"Nothing special happened. Two hours ago, Lord Lancelot and Gao Wenqing competed, and it ended in a tie. Lord Mordred was drunk in the tavern, and was moved back to the mansion by Tristan who was passing by. ."
"what?"
This his memory is completely different, or it simply subverts history.
In the last memory, he remembered that Lancelot accidentally killed Gareth, causing him and Gawain to turn against each other and lose both. Then Gawain was killed in the war to pacify the rebellion. Before he died, he forgave Lancelot and asked Artoris to invite Lancelot back.
Mordred is the main leader of the rebellion, how could he stay in Camelot, knowing that Mordred was killed by Artolis himself.
Artolis shook his head: "That's not right... By the way, do you remember the Battle of Kamran?"
"Battle of Kamran?" The knight pondered for a while, and finally shook his head, "I'm very sorry, Wang, I have no memory of the 'Battle of Kamran'."
what happened? How could he not know about the Battle of Kamran? To know that this was a rebellion that spread throughout Britain, no knight would not know it.
"That's what you want."
who?
When looking at the past, a woman in a white robe appeared again.
Eri, no, it was Justeza who appeared again.
"Is this what I want?"
Artoris asked a question, and the strange thing was that the knight in front of him didn't seem to hear him at all, and he didn't notice Justeza as a good person.
"If Mordred hadn't rebelled, Britain wouldn't have fallen into civil war, you wouldn't have died, and the kingdom wouldn't have been divided. This is what you want, Artolis, a peaceful Britain."
... peaceful Britain?
When Artoris wanted to continue asking, Justeza disappeared again. After hesitating for a moment at the city gate, he headed back to the palace. He met familiar faces along the way. They all greeted him unharmed, and Artoris responded one by one. However, when he saw them, Artoris Their faces will be reminiscent of the moment they died on the battlefield.
After entering the palace, a beautiful woman greeted him. The moment he saw him, a gentle smile appeared on the woman's face: "You're back, king, is the battle going well?"
This woman was Guinevere, the legal wife of Artolis, and one of the main people who divided Britain.
"fighting?"
"It's just that the minor nobles are dissatisfied with the new policy. This is just a trivial matter for the king."
Rebellion of the nobles? Has the Battle of Kamran been replaced?
A little aristocrat who doesn't even know his name?
- This is what you want.
Justisa's words kept echoing in his mind. Although everything was right in front of him, Artoris still felt unreal, but his heart was more than ecstatic.
"By the way, what about Lancelot? Isn't he by your side to protect you?"
Lancelot is a noble and powerful knight, and he has won the trust of Artolis, so Artolis asked him to protect Guinevere. But no one thought that Guinevere and Lancelot would fall in love in the end, and the two eventually betrayed Artolis and left Camelot, which was also the beginning of the split of the Knights of the Round Table.
Although he knew that Guinevere and Lancelot were in a spiritual Platonic love, Artoris still couldn't accept this fact.
But this time, the two seem to have no sign of falling in love at all.
Just thinking of this, a knight in full body armor walked in from the door. It was Lancelot who was supposed to protect Guinevere. Speaking of which, Artolis has only discovered now that he has never seen Lancelot's face, because he always wears full body armor, and even his face is not exposed, just like Mordred. But oddly enough, Lancelot is more likeable, both in martial arts and voice...
"king."
"Lancelot, you came just in time."
"Is there anything I can do to help you, King?"
His voice was clear and melodious, reminiscent of a lake deep in the forest, and like the elegant sound of a piano. It is said that he was a knight raised by the Fairy of the Lake. Could it have anything to do with it?
His armor is not big, and his figure looks a little thin. He was once questioned for this reason, but the knights who questioned were all convinced by his martial arts.
"I've never seen you take off your armor, let's take a look at your face."
While speaking, Artolis also kept looking at Guinevere's face beside him, and found that her face also showed a curious look.
"this……"
For some reason, Lancelot hesitated.
"Lancelot is the Queen's bodyguard, but we don't know the appearance of Lord Lancelot. If someone disguise the armor of Lord Lancelot in the future, we will not be able to identify it. For the queen's safety, I hope that Lan Lord Sloter can meet us with all sincerity."
"I understand."
Lancelot didn't insist, he decided to show his true colors.
Artolis and Guinevere stared intently at Lancelot's movements, only to see Lancelot reaching out and grabbing his armor, ready to take it off. However, when the helmet was about to fall off, Artoris felt that the space began to distort.
Guinevere is gone, Lancelot is gone, he is no longer in the palace, but returned to Kamran, where corpses are everywhere.
"Sure enough, it's just an illusion, right, Justeza."
Justisa's figure appeared in front of her again, she still had a doll-like expression, and she didn't even know how much she had done.
"Why wake up, Artoris? Even if it's just a hallucination, that's your ideal."
"No, this is not what I want, what I want is not a false fantasy." Artolis shook his head without hesitation, "My ideal is to make Britain an ideal country like Avalon."
Avalon is the land of goblins, where there is peace, peace, and no turbulence of war. In this era, the people of any country will be threatened by the outside world, it may be war, it may be natural disasters, it may be beasts, and it may even be the evil people around.
From childhood to experience, he has seen the dangers of the world and experienced the hardships of the people. After becoming a king, Artolis has been working hard in this direction, hoping to rule Britain into a country as happy as Avalon.
"as you wish."
The voice fell, Artoris disappeared from Kamran, and he returned to Camelot.
This time, however, a thriving Camelot became a sea of fire, with ruins everywhere it went.
The sound of sparks as the flames burned in my ears, and the people here seemed to have disappeared. Just as Artolis raised his foot, he found that there was a corpse beside his feet... The corpses were all over Camelot, and everyone here was dead.
Artolis found that these people had a sword mark on their bodies, and they were all killed by a sword. Yet these people still had smiles on their faces, as if someone had vilely killed them while they let their guard down.
"What is this..."
Artolis was speechless because he suddenly found himself holding the holy sword in his hands, and the holy sword was dripping with scarlet blood.
This is... what I did?
No, this is an illusion, an illusion created by Justeza.
"That's how Avalon was built."
Justisa's voice rang in her ears, and she stood in front of Artolis. She and Artolis are the only two "living people" left in Camelot.
"What did you say?"
"The struggle of mankind will not stop. Jealousy, suspicion, anger, betrayal... As long as mankind is alive, mankind will not stop killing each other. So if you want to build a kingdom like Avalon, this is the only way , kill all those who create disputes."
"..."
The self-struggle of human beings will never stop. Since ancient times, there has been no lack of common struggle and self-struggle in the history of human development. It is precisely because of these struggles that human beings will continue to develop. In order to defeat the enemy, he has honed powerful martial arts; in order to defeat the beast, he has forged sharp weapons; in order to be stronger than other countries, he has created a superior system. These are the results of human self-struggle and a symbol of progress.
Governing a country like Avalon is to let the people live a happy life. But if everyone needs to die in order to build such a country, isn't that putting the cart before the horse?
Suddenly, Artolis remembered what Roman had said, and he finally woke up.
"This is not the method I want, and you are not the Holy Grail I want."
Justisa said, "Atoris, are you going to give up the Holy Grail?"
Atoris held the holy sword and looked at her firmly: "Roman is right, Justisa, you have been polluted by the evil of this world."
Chapter 592 Chapter 123
"So strong magic, it's like detonating the magic of the entire spiritual vein, who did it?"
After walking out of the cave, Roman and Mona Lisa watched the direction of the mountain.
Just now, the mountain body suddenly erupted with magic power, like a volcano eruption, the magic power was vented upward from the underground spiritual veins.
"Mt. Yuanzang is also one of the spiritual points of Fuyuki City." Elmelo II's voice came late, "This large-scale magic circle is constructed under Mt. Yuanzang, and this magic circle can absorb the spiritual veins of Fuyuki City. The magic power that can detonate the stored magic power is probably Tosaka Tokiomi or Archer's handwriting."
"What are they doing this for?"
Mona Lisa can't figure out the purpose of their doing this. The stored magic power should be thought about how to use it and detonate it one by one. It is simply throwing away all the years of hard work, which is simply a waste.
"I don't know, that guy Archer can't understand it with common sense at all."
"I think he just let everyone know that he was there," Roman said.
"How can there be such nonsense?"
No, that's the king's style. The golden guy is always eye-catching. He is used to declaring his presence to the world, and the most important point is that there is no news after they leave the Tohsaka House. Even if Roman and others want to find him There is no way to start, only by doing so can tell everyone his position.
- "I see you clearly, I'm here."
That's what Gilgamesh meant. Don't say what will happen after the singularity is repaired, it's just a mere spiritual vein, will Gilgamesh care about this?
"What should I do now? With the combat power here, it is impossible to fight Gilgamesh." El-Mello II, who had experienced the Fourth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, was helpless, "There seems to be no reverse spirit here. The transfer operation, is Chaldea's spiritual transfer device so unreliable?"
"No, it was originally very reliable, but it was destroyed by Leif, and it has not been repaired yet."
Chaldea's personnel and resources are extremely lacking, and maintaining basic operations is already the limit. If they want to repair other functions, they are more than enough.
"Do we have to wait until this singularity is completed, and let Rika come to support us?"
"No, absolutely not." Roman rejected Mona Lisa's suggestion without thinking, "It would be too embarrassing to ask those children to help, if you really want to do this, it will definitely be a shame in front of them in the future. No head."
"At this time, you are still caring about your own face, don't you even want your life?"
Mona Lisa was very angry. Hearing that Roman was still saying such words, she simply grabbed his collar and tangled him up.
"Don't forget what time it is now. If you die, you really have nothing. Chaldea no more? Rika no more? What about Matthew? Olga Marie, and the rest of Chaldea. People, everyone trusts so much, and you are still saying such childish things for your own face?"
"..."
Roman was speechless for a while, because every word of Mona Lisa hit Roman's heart, and Roman could not let it go.
In fact, it is not that he has not thought about this issue. If only he and Mona Lisa face Gilgamesh, the odds of winning are indeed very small. But he always felt that Gilgamesh had ulterior motives, and Merlin's power should not stop there.
But is it really good to put hope on the enemy, on the dream demon who is floating wrong?
Thinking of this, Roman's enthusiasm subsided, and he couldn't help but start to flinch.
——I’m still used to backing off at critical moments.
Roman's heart was bitter, but he finally listened to Mona Lisa's words and decided to wait for Rika's support two days later.
...
After Roman and Mona Lisa left the cave, Emiya Kiritsugu came here.
The surveillance work was handed over to Hisayu Maiya, who recorded the location. After seeing Roman and Mona Lisa leave, he found that Artoris did not appear. Emiya Kiritsugu, who was already waiting nearby, felt a big event. Not good.
Only the Servant can obtain the Holy Grail, because it is a high-concentration magic crystal that cannot be touched by a magician. If the Servant dies, the Holy Grail is basically hopeless, but the strange thing is that Emiya Kiritsugu can feel that Artoris is still alive.
It seems that there is no other choice, Emiya Kiritsugu decided to enter the investigation. But what Emiya Kiritsugu didn't expect was that he was not the only one who entered the cave. When he didn't know it, the priest had been following him all the time, and he was only discovered by Kuu Maiya when he knew the entrance of the cave.
Magicians are arrogant when facing ordinary people, and they do have the capital of arrogance, because they have mastered the mystery that ordinary people do not master. But Emiya Kiritsugu never thought that magicians were invincible. On the contrary, he had already seen through the arrogance of the group of magicians and found the weaknesses of magicians before becoming a magician killer.
Magicians despise ordinary people, and they despise the tools used by ordinary people, that is, technology, and despise them. Because of this, magicians do not understand modern weapons and are more vulnerable to attacks that do not rely on magic.
How much can humans do without the power of magic? Most magicians don't understand this.
However, when a magician understands the power of human technology, he is regarded by Emiya Kiritsugu as a "rival".
