In the early hours of the morning, in the dead of night, two young couples in their prime quietly slipped out of the house and arrived at the door of a luxurious five-star hotel together.
They glanced inside, maybe because the house price was too high... Then they turned right and passed about three corners, heading towards the slightly eerie church on the hillside.
On the street, Tohsaka Rin and Shirou chatted about each other. Facing his savior and the school beauty in his heart, the young hero was quite enthusiastic and proactive.
"By the way, does Tohsaka-san know the priest here?"
"Of course, he is my father's student, and he is also my first guardian and second master after my father passed away..."
"In other words, the priest here is a magician?"
"Yes, one is a genuine fake priest!"
Rin's eyes were a little hazy and she was somewhat absent-minded. When she went to see Kotomine Kirei this time, she didn't just ask Father Mapo to explain for Emiya Shirou.
After learning that Kirei Kotomine, as the supervisor this time, actually cheated by "playing the ball with the referee himself", Rin knew that Mapo had other plans for the Holy Grail.
Since Kotomine Kirei himself has the idea of obtaining the Holy Grail, and has not given up even after ten years... then he would not have wholeheartedly helped Tohsaka Tokiomi at the beginning, and there may be something fishy about her father's death!
"Saber, you said you have been to this era? So, you participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War."
Behind Rin and Shirou, Ren, who had regained his identity as Archer, was wearing a black suit, his hands in his pockets, and he looked sideways at Saber, who was wearing a cloak.
He is truly worthy of being the Daimao King!
Even though this guy was wearing a flaxen cloak and a hood, the hair on top still stood proudly, raising the top of the hood into a slightly convex arc.
"Archer, what do you want to ask?"
Artoria glanced lightly at Arthur Pendragon, who was dressed somewhat similarly to her during the Fourth Holy Grail War, with a calm expression in his holy blue eyes.
"It's nothing, Saber, I'm just a little curious about your battle ten years ago." Renn smiled slightly and looked at the two masters in front of him, "I guess they are the same."
Sure enough, Shirou and Rin also turned to look at Artoria.
Rin wants to know more details about ten years ago and find out the cause of his father's death.
And Shirou knew that his adoptive father Kiritsugu had summoned Saber last time, and he was also very interested in what happened ten years ago.
Sensing the curious looks in the three people's eyes, the Daimao King pondered for a while and then met Ren's deep eyes:
"Archer, I can tell you what happened in the last Holy Grail War. Anyway, there is no need to hide my abilities, combat methods and treasures in front of you... However, I also need you to answer some of my questions."
"Okay, that's fair, deal!" Ren replied with a smile.
His pretending to be the "Old Sword" is not entirely because he is full. At least if everyone is "King Arthur", she will not hide or scruple too much when communicating with Artoria, and he can cheat more happily... cough
, enlighten her.
"Archer, why did you come to fight the Holy Grail War? What is the purpose?"
Instead of talking about his experience ten years ago, Daimao Wang asked him some questions first.
Renn shrugged: "It's okay. I originally wanted to use the power of the Holy Grail to prevent Brexit in the future, but I'm bored anyway... But now I find that this is not my original world, so it doesn't make much sense."
“Brexit?”
Emiya Shirou was stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face, "Archer, how is this possible? How is it possible for the UK to leave the EU? And..."
And even if Britain leaves the European Union, does it matter to you, the King of Britain more than a thousand years ago?
The young hero was completely incapable of this weird idea. He subconsciously looked at Tohsaka Rin who was standing aside. Artoria was also confused. Rin couldn't help but cover his face with his hands when he saw this:
"Ah, well, he... you can just treat him as bored."
There was helplessness in the girl's voice. To be honest, she originally thought that Ren was prevaricating and might have another purpose.
But then she saw that he was completely obsessed with childish tokusatsu dramas like Ultraman fighting little monsters and couldn't help himself. After he shouted every day to send a blade to a certain cartoonist named "Old Thief Togashi"... she felt that Ren's
The circuitry of the brain is really weird.
Rin's observation skills are actually pretty good. Anyway, based on her careful observation, he really doesn't seem like someone with any obsessions.
By the way, as long as there is some pursuit of people, who looks like a fat loser every day?
She was right, Ren participated in the Holy Grail War originally as a troublemaker, purely for the sake of fighting.
The system has said that all you need to do at this stage is fight to the final chapter.
"Archer, don't you have any regrets, or are you unwilling and obsessed?"
Arturia frowned slightly. She found that Arthur exuded a loose and free atmosphere, which made her a little envious...but more of a puzzle.
"Oh, for example?"
"For example, if Britain is destroyed, wouldn't you feel unwilling to do so?"
When King Daimao suddenly asked this question, Rin and Shirou in front held their breaths. They are both very smart people, and this is probably her obsession.
She wanted to use this to torture the soul of another King Arthur.
Renn, who was clearly an Archer but was actually an Actor, turned cold and stared at the blonde girl with a somewhat unkind look:
"Saber, are you mocking me as the king of subjugation?"
"Arthur, you know what I want to ask you." Artoria's eyes became a little sharp.
The actor Ren was silent for a while and sighed:
"Saber, I know what you are thinking. At first, I had similar thoughts. There must be something wrong, so this is the result.
I've been thinking about this question and I didn't get the answer until recently."
"What's the answer?!" King Daimao's tone was a little excited, and his eyes were staring at him eagerly and longingly.
Could it be that he has found the answer to Britain's demise?
Even if it is a different world, this is of great reference value to Artoria, because although she is chasing the Holy Grail, she is actually a little confused in her heart.
Ren's voice was a little deep:
"At first, I always believed that the country's demise was all due to the king's own mistakes and mistakes, so I felt guilty and guilty... But later, I discovered that this was not the case."
"Well, no?" Artoria was stunned. Isn't it the fault of the king's lack of ability?
"Saber, is it wrong to be fair and honest, with clear rewards and punishments?"
"No."
“Is it wrong to govern the country with diligence and thrift and to be selfless?”
"No."
"Putting the overall situation first, is it wrong to make a choice after weighing the pros and cons?"
"No."
…
Rin and Shirou in front were listening carefully, and after the two servants asked and answered several times, Ren finally concluded in a calm tone:
"I believe that everything I do is in line with the correct philosophy and the correct royal way... Even if I am not as good as the wise kings and saints in history, I am not too far behind.
Even if the village is squeezed for supplies to use as armaments, it is a choice that has to be made after weighing the pros and cons... In other words, the king himself did not make many mistakes."
"You mean, the fault is not yours?" Artoria frowned and couldn't help scolding loudly, "Arthur, you are just shirking responsibility!"
Is this the so-called answer?
Arthur is too inferior. King Da Mao is a bit disdainful.
Ren looked at her calmly: "Shifting the responsibility? Saber, then you think it's all your own fault?"
"Of course, the country's demise was not caused by the king's lack of ability?"
Arturia stared at him with her green eyes, obviously dissatisfied with what he just said. She could not accept this kind of behavior that did not dare to take responsibility.
Ren raised his eyebrows and asked: "Oh? Saber, let me ask you, are you responsible for re-establishing Camelot, expelling the alien invaders, and restoring order on the island...are these all your achievements?"
"Of course not! This is the result of the joint efforts of the knights, soldiers, and people living on that land..."
Artoria answered without thinking.
Ren asked in a cold voice: "Really? Since the establishment of all this is not entirely your fault, then why is it all your fault when it is destroyed?"
"This...this, Arthur, you are changing the concept secretly, this is different!" Artoria shook her head hurriedly.
Ren suddenly stopped.
He turned around and stood in front of Artoria, staring at her with an indifferent expression:
"Saber, you are the one who refuses to accept the facts! Why do you say that these are all your own fault?
A country is composed of thousands of people, including kings, ministers, knights, people... Even the king is only a part of the country!
In this case, what qualifications do you have to bear everyone's faults? For one person to bear everything, even if it is out of good nature, it is just a kind of arrogance and conceit!
The king is not everything in the country!
Taking all the blame on yourself will make you ignore other problems. If a car breaks down, does it mean there is something wrong with the engine? If Britain is destroyed, no one else should be responsible except you?
Didn't the others make mistakes and delay?!"
The king is not everything in the country...
Artoria looked at Ren in confusion, and lowered her head slightly.
Although she knew that what he said was true, the girl was more willing to bear the blame alone, so she refused to admit defeat and asked:
"Archer, tell me, who among the others made a mistake? Who needs to be held responsible for this?!"
Renn spread his hands and said confidently: "There are so many pig teammates, the first of which is that old bastard Merlin!"
"Merlin? No, no, he didn't do anything wrong..." Artoria retorted directly, but her confidence was a bit lacking as she spoke.
"Saber, shut up! Don't excuse him. That scumbag Merlin knows how to paddle and clock in all day long. The national master has seven days off a week. It's so elegant!
Even so, I think he is a capable person.
Originally, I was counting on him to be able to turn the tide at the last moment, but... he found out that he had screwed up, and he ran away!"
Ren tilted his head and fired at the British national division "Meiliang Liang".
Arturia was speechless after hearing this, and after a moment she said weakly: "This... this is just an example."
"A case? Next is that guy Tristan!" Renne continued to fire.
"No, Sir Tristan is a very nice person, but he is just a little sentimental."
"I also know that he is a good person...but--the king doesn't understand people's hearts! Talking loudly can shake the morale of the army! Besides, why don't I understand people's hearts? What nonsense!"
King Da Mao: "..."
"And then there's Lancelot!"
Seeing that she was speechless, Renn took advantage of the victory and pursued her. The effect of the vest of "Old Sword" was perfectly demonstrated at this time.
She would probably fall out if someone said that about the Knights of the Round Table, but another King Arthur is qualified to comment on the Knights of the Round Table.
Moreover, the real comment was on the knights under his command, it just reminded her of her own knights.
"Archer, this is impossible. Sir Lancelot is a model knight with noble character..." King Da Mao tried to speak for his friend.
Just pet him...
Ren cursed in his heart, then tilted his head and said to her: "So, because he has a very noble character, he can seduce his sister-in-law and cuckold me?"
King Da Mao: "..."
Rin and Shirou: "..."
Renn continued to attack the Yangtze River Knight and fired at him angrily:
"Xiaolan, also known as Lancelot, I regard him as my brother, but he actually seduced the queen behind my back. I have spoiled him all these years in vain!
Don't talk about pure spiritual love, it's nonsense, it's ruining the road... Well, it's breaking the rules of the kingdom!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! What the hell is Xiaolan?
King Da Mao's face twitched slightly. She no longer knew what to say. Considering that Arthur was a man, she had no confidence to refute.
Even Shirou and Rin felt that it was understandable for Ren, the "sufferer", to be angry.
"And Mordred, for the sake of the overall situation, I don't recognize her identity. I didn't expect that this filial son would actually rebel against his father... Damn it, I'm so angry with my father!"
Ren's mood suddenly got a little "out of control" and he was so angry that he kicked a can on the side of the road away.
"Shit! If I hadn't accidentally been charmed by my sister Morgan's magic... and beat me to death, I wouldn't have given birth to this filial son!"
King Da Mao: "..."
What else could she say?
Besides, she had no right to care about Arthur's quarrel with the knights under his command.
"..."
It’s really enlightening, the world is so chaotic... Tohsaka Rin and Emiya Shirou felt speechless after listening to the whole story.
The story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is too twists and turns and bizarre.
Finally, Ren looked directly into King Da Mao's eyes and said slowly:
"Saber, I don't hate them now, and I don't intend to put all the blame on them... Britain fell, and we all made mistakes more or less at that time.
I know what you are thinking, trying to take all the blame on your own and use the power of the Holy Grail to save the country.
I have actually thought so... But, regardless of right or wrong, this history is created by us together. Glory and sin, glory and ending, blood and dust, victory and defeat, life and death... it does not belong to any one person.
Even if I don't get everyone's permission, I can't overturn it... because, in the final analysis, it is just the wishful thinking of the Knight King himself."
There is no doubt that the words of Ren, the "King Arthur", had a great impact on Artoria.
The cloak covered half of King Da Mao's face. She remained silent, neither agreeing nor refuting. Anyway, she became a little absent-minded after that.
She may not have heard some words or advice, but for the same reason, depending on the person speaking, the effect can sometimes be very different.
This is like famous quotes. Who can't think of a few beautiful sentences full of philosophy after thinking hard?
Of course, you are not a celebrity, and no matter how reasonable your words are, they cannot become famous aphorisms. However, some big figures, even if they are just blowing nonsense, can be regarded as a guide by countless people and interpret various philosophical connotations...
There is no doubt that what Ren said as "Old Sword" Arthur will definitely make King Da Mao take it seriously.
What is more valuable than what another person says?
As they spoke, several people had already walked outside the somewhat dilapidated church.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Looking at the simple wrought iron door, Arturia finally came back to her senses. She stopped here and did not choose to enter this church.
Of course she still has an impression of Kotomine Kirei.
He was an opponent that Emiya Kiritsugu once attached great importance to...
Renn, Miss Rin, and Emiya Shirou entered the dimly lit church with a rather gloomy atmosphere.
In front of the baptistery of the church, a tall figure closed the Bible in his hand. He turned around calmly and looked at the young girl walking in front of the door.
Father Mapo has medium-long brown hair, wearing a Kevlar cassock underneath, a dark purple long trench coat outside, and a cross necklace on his chest. He looks at it with a smile and frowns slightly.
Tohsaka Rin and Shirou who looked at him.
"Rin, we met again, and this time I brought a strange guest over..."
Having said this, Kotomine Kirei paused and turned his gaze to Emiya Shirou next to him:
"Boy, you are the seventh Master of this Holy Grail War, right? I am Kirei Kotomine, how about you?"
"Shirou Emiya." Shirou frowned slightly.
For some reason, he was instinctively disgusted with this middle-aged man who spoke in a rather strange tone, even if he knew that he was Tohsaka-san's guardian.
"Emiya…Shirou."
A familiar last name... Kotomine Kirei couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "Let me confirm, you are Saber's Master, right, Emiya Shirou?"
"Well, I did sign a contract with Saber, but I have no interest in the Holy Grail War. If the Master must be an orthodox magician like Tohsaka-san, you'd better choose another one!" Shirou!
He said firmly.
"Choose another one?"
Is this still possible?
As if he didn't expect this young man to say that, Kotomine Kirei looked a little surprised and couldn't help but look at Tohsaka Rin.
Rin Tosaka crossed his arms, shrugged, and sighed: "I told him, you'd better teach him from the beginning."
"hehe!"
Kotomine Kirei chuckled.
So wonderful and interesting, Emiya? Hahahahahaha...
