"Mr. Anno!?" Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka exclaimed in surprise.
The knight in white armor seemed to have noticed that someone else was approaching, and his pursuit of the men in black robes also accelerated.
The leader of the black-robed man said angrily: "What the hell, what's going on with this guy? He's not at the same level as the usual Holy City knights -"
"Hurry up and retreat! We can't beat this guy!"
Another man in black robes shouted, then ran out quickly and threw away the things he was carrying.
Not long after, the men in black robes disappeared into the wind and sand. They seemed not to be affected by the strong wind and yellow sand.
After the knights in white armor saw these men in black robes putting down the things they were carrying, they had no intention of continuing to pursue them. They just stopped in front of the things that were thrown to the ground, with their backs to Fujimaru Ritsuka and others, and turned slightly.
He turned his head and asked in a deep voice.
"Who are you? Why are you peeking behind my back?"
"An -" Ma Xiu seemed a little unable to control himself and opened his mouth to say hello.
"Wait a minute." Da Vinci seemed to have remembered something and stopped Matthew who wanted to say hello.
"Matthew, we can't confirm his position now, and there seems to be another rider beside him... proceed with caution... Hello!" Da Vinci looked serious.
After admonishing Matthew, she suddenly noticed Arturia walking past her and called out anxiously.
"It doesn't matter. If it's this person, even if he doesn't know his position, he will never attack innocent people." Arturia said with a smile as she walked.
Her eyes were focused on the knight, and her usual cold tone finally contained a little emotion.
"Am I right...Knight of the Round Table, Anno?"
Annuo turned around, seeming a little surprised.
He sheathed the sword and did not move immediately, but felt something carefully.
Then, he walked up to Artoria in a few steps, knelt down on one knee, and lowered his head.
"King, Knight Annuo... will offer you my only loyalty as before."
In the wind and sand, the knight in white armor knelt in front of the black king, making everyone in the distance slightly stunned.
"Get up."
The black king just smiled and pulled Annuo up.
Annuo stood up and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash behind Arturia. He was also slightly surprised. Then he thought about it and sighed softly.
"Master, Kirilet, as expected, you have also reached this singular point." Annuo walked up to Fujimaru Ritsuka and bowed lightly.
"Mr. Anno...do you remember what happened to Fuyuki?" Fujimaru Ritsuka was slightly surprised.
"Hey, that's interesting." Da Vinci walked to Anno's side curiously and looked him up and down, "It stands to reason that after a servant returns to the Throne of Heroes, even if he is summoned again, he will not be summoned like the last time.
Summoned memory, you actually have the memory of the last time?"
"Is it possible that your job agency is not Saber, but Avenger?"
Avenger, one of the Avengers, one of the ex-jobs, has the ability called "Forgetting Correction", which can clearly remember every memory that is summoned.
"I am not an avenger, ma'am." Annuo took a step back and bowed politely.
"Well~ He is indeed the most standard knight. It is a kind of enjoyment to bear this kind of etiquette in a sense." Da Vinci always had a smile on his face, but several other people traveling with him could clearly see the hidden meaning.
The "playful smile" behind the gentle smile.
"I am Leonardo da Vinci, White Knight, please give me your advice."
Annuo nodded slightly, held Da Vinci's hand, shook it slightly and immediately separated it.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, a Florentine artist who is also a pioneer of mankind and a pioneer of stars." He didn't ask uninterestedly whether this great scholar recorded as a man would appear in front of him in such an image. He just made it clear.
After the other party's achievement, he quietly backed away.
"Mr. Anno, why did you appear at this singularity?" Matthew came over and asked with some confusion.
She felt a little strange, because when she saw Annuo, she had the same feeling as Fuyuki's singularity before.
Familiar...the same feeling as if I had been taken care of by this serious and powerful knight somewhere before.
Annuo did not answer immediately.
He just lowered his head in silence, subconsciously covering his left arm with his right arm, and then looked back at Arturia Alter, who had already walked back.
"This singularity is a bit strange." Arturia took the initiative and said with a thoughtful look on her face, "I feel... very familiar."
"Familiar..." Fujimaru Ritsuka tapped her head lightly with the knuckle of her index finger, as if she was thinking about something.
"It's not because of my teacher, but because of something else." Arturia responded.
"It's because...this."
An Nuo's right hand pressed on his left shoulder and exerted force.
Click——
Annuo's left arm was ripped off by himself.
"Fuck!" Andersen, who was standing a little close, was frightened by Annuo's actions and took a big step back.
"Ah..." For some reason, Ma Xiu felt that tears almost came out of his eyes, and he covered his mouth with a trembling hand.
"——Mr. Anno!" Arturia frowned when she noticed Anno's movements. She took a step forward, but she didn't have time to stop her. She could only watch Anno remove her left arm.
Then, in a flash of light, the removed left arm transformed into the appearance she was most familiar with.
"...Excalibur?" She looked at the holy sword in Annuo's hand and murmured.
Unlike Artoria, other people's eyes were focused on Anno himself.
Annuo, who had taken off his left arm, was still tall and tall, but his whole body was no longer strong and became as withered as a mummy, like a piece of rotten wood that would be wiped out at any time.
"Mr. Anno, you..." Fujimaru Ritsuka frowned and subconsciously wanted to help him.
Matthew stood behind her, already a little helpless. Fortunately, Leonardo da Vinci, who had quick eyesight and quick hands, was able to hold Matthew back.
But Artoria also reached out to pick up the holy sword.
However, Anno forced his withered body to take a step back, avoiding Artoria's hand and Fujimaru Ritsuka's support.
"King, I cannot hand over this holy sword to you." Annuo said in a deep voice, lowering his head.
Arturia was a little confused, but after thinking about it again and again, she still didn't ask and just nodded.
"You must have your own reasons for doing this, right? An Nuoqing?"
Putting the holy sword back into the empty space where he lost his left arm, the light reappeared. Annuo returned to his previous state and let out a heavy breath.
