Chapter 105
Chapter 105
Arthur and his "biological father" Mordred named "Artoria", the father and son in name, had three in-depth conversations in this fateful Holy Grail War.
In the restaurant where they first met for the first time, Emiya, Cu Chulainn, and Lion Jie Jieli were sitting next to them.
On the roof of the teaching building for the second time, Mordred was abducted by Arthur to leave a one-off holy relic to Chaldea.
The third time... is at this very moment.
The place of conversation was in the office of the school director, the Sun King, who had taken special care of him and was currently empty.There are three participants, namely: Arthur, Mordred and Lion Jie Jieli.
At the beginning of the conversation, Arthur told Mordred a secret about the chosen sword: it is not the one who pulls out the sword in the stone who has the qualifications to become a king; Pull out the sword in the stone!
"It was Merlin who made the choice, not the sword; the king selection ceremony was made to quickly establish King Arthur's original reputation──Whether my peer, your father King Artoria, knows about this, I I don’t know either. It’s been a long time since Merlin told me the truth.”
Arthur's clear green eyes, like a clear spring, stared diagonally downward.
It's a pity that from his perspective, he could only see Mordred's head hanging down during the narration, and he could vaguely hear the sound of grinding his teeth... Then he took a moment to look at Shijie Jieli, who raised his hands in surrender gestures that articulate their non-involvement and difficulty in intervening.
After a while, the two men heard the knight's neutral voice draw a long tone: "...Merlin? Hmph, it does seem like something he would do..."
"──So let's kill him!"
Arthur seemed to hear someone in the dark expressing his and Mordred's dark heart.
Although in the world line before his death, Merlin had the appearance of a woman, it was very rude and rude to express to a lady that he wanted to kill her.But who called her Merlin?Mei/Lin's true gender is Merlin!He didn't recognize it when he was alive, but after becoming a heroic spirit, he recognized it clearly!
Mordred raised his face, pursed his lips, almost staring at Arthur.
silence.
The silent environment lasted for almost a minute and a half before it was broken, and the rebellious knight, who still had a bit of arrogance in his expression, asked in a hoarse voice: "...you, father... king... tsk, you! Say I can be a good king?" At the end of the sentence, she became anxious, and she didn't know if it was because of that unsatisfactory tongue!
But Arthur was very patient, always maintaining a broad smile.He waited until Mordred had finished speaking the question, then shook his head slightly, and said bluntly: "It is not my approval that you long for. I think it is better for you to wait for 'her' to answer this question later." Significant."
"Well."
"Now it's your turn to answer that question I asked a long time ago."
"Ah, you said that the king selection ceremony was set up by that bastard Merlin... I wouldn't be interested in challenging it any more!" Mordred let out a low "呿", looking away unhappily and unnaturally.
"...Okay, I admit it! Wanting to "become a king" is a process of fulfilling one's wish, and it has not yet reached the result... The result──how could it be so easy? That king is so selfless that he doesn't even look like a human being, he is so stupid It's really..." Mordred muttered and cursed, the more he cursed, the softer his voice became, the more vague he became.
Fortunately, the other two men were not ignorant enough to try to hear Mordred's cover-up curse clearly.Otherwise, under the shame and anger, maybe Mordred's real name of the Noble Phantasm will be liberated by herself to severely punish gossip lovers.
One person's problem is solved, and then the other naturally has to be dealt with.
Letting Mordred mutter in the swivel chair, Arthur turned his head to look at the fierce necromancer.
"I don't intend to offend your privacy, but...you are really similar in this respect." Arthur even suspected that the reason why Shishijie and Mordred have a high master-slave relationship is due to this aspect.
Although Arthur can't read minds, he still has the basic skills of observing words and emotions.He always remembered that when asked about wishes, Lion Jieli and Mordred gave the same answers with hesitation, hesitation, and uncertainty... Presumably it was a trace of sobriety that was suppressed in their hearts, and they never forgot to remind them the results.
"Have you thought about your wish? Revival of the clan?"
"Um……"
Lion Jie took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, but did not light it.The scene was like Mordred's moment, and fell into silence again until the person said: "I have changed my mind. It is probably better to cut off this cursed family inheritance. The wish can be forgotten, and I am not completely unrewarded." ──Hmm, can the Holy Grail be used to resurrect people?"
Knowing the basic mechanism of the Holy Grail to fulfill wishes, the King of Knights immediately asked: "You have specific resurrection steps, but only one performer is missing?"
Naturally, in exchange for Lion Jie shaking his head.
"The Holy Grail is just a tool. To use it to fulfill a wish, you need the wisher to tell it what to do. And, forgive me. Although I am not a magician, I know that resurrection has already involved the field of magic, and there is no such thing in the world. A perfect resurrection technique, only various flawed ancient techniques that must pay a heavy price."
There is Mei/Lin, a swordsmanship teacher who is a candidate for Caster's title, and Morgan, a sister Wang with superb magic ability. Regarding magic, at least in terms of knowledge, Arthur is still good enough.
Such an answer must have touched Shishijie Jieli—at least it made him give up on his true wish... But it was still a little bit hot to make Shizijie, who had experienced many ups and downs in half his life, experience ups and downs.
Having said that, a bad mood always makes people want to do something to distract themselves.Considering that it was indoors, the person with a cigarette asked out of politeness: "Can I have a cigarette?"
"Please." Arthur didn't mind making it easier for the emotionally depressed.
Compared with the red side, which is almost one-sided, and other people's wishes are all fulfilled with Amakusa's wish to save the world as the core, the internal situation of the black side is much more complicated.
Fortunately, there are three remaining Servants that Black needs to lobby, and the only ones that can be reached are Lancer and Archer.
Lobbying that has nothing to do with the interests of the Holy Grail War is not too difficult, especially in the current situation where the gold side basically controls the overall situation, and deception is meaningless and necessary.
Eight of the fourteen gold coins currently used as a medium for the one-time holy relic have been used up—four riders from the red side, three riders from the black side and Joan of Arc, and Berserker Jack the Ripper, who was persuaded by the King of the Grotto on the gold side—and there are six remaining There are semi-finished products, and one is currently in Amakusa Shiro's place.
At this time, the red and blue heroic spirits had just finished their contact with Chiron, and they were walking slowly in the corridor where there were no classrooms and few students passed by.
Seeing that there was no one around, Cu Chulainn asked directly without any pretense: "The black Caster doesn't care?"
"He maps at night."
"It's a small matter, I will kill him for you tonight and ask him!"
"Energy has a limit. Yesterday wasn't enough for you?" The white-haired pseudo-magician squinted at the past, and the blue-haired special Ruler grinned, showing his canine teeth.Immediately, Emiya heard Cu Chulainn say loudly: "How can it be enjoyable! Yesterday's level is at most a warm-up!"
"Really... I'll find a place with a good view to watch the fun. Don't call Master for help." The man raised one white eyebrow, and that seemingly mean smile seemed to be provocative.
It's a pity that Cu Chulainn didn't take the bait this time. Instead, after catching a glimpse of Emiya's expression, his mood soared, and every word he uttered afterwards seemed to be floating.He smiled and said, "Yes, don't worry about it. Just watch the excitement! Remember to imprint Lao Tzu's heroic figure in your heart."
"Ah... But I still want to remind you that a guy who is too proud is easy to die early. Don't be forced to take off the camouflage coat." Emiya said casually.
That undisguised demeanor made Cu Chulainn easily read a message from it: "Otherwise I despise you, despise you every day!" Including every day after returning to the Seat of Heroes.
...This threat... is quite powerful!But it's not enough to say I'm afraid.Cu Chulainn stared at the ceiling of the corridor, but the scene that popped up in his mind had nothing to do with the ceiling at all.
──At least the ceiling will never let a man with a regular bed partner show that kind of wonderful smile that you understand and that makes you blush.
"There is no problem, it can't be solved by sleeping..." His mouth was moving, but Cu Chulainn was very smart and didn't say anything.In the second half of the sentence, he added it directly in his mind: "If there is--there is domestic violence and you are still a ghost! Then let's have a good fight! I will not hold back!"
Walking while thinking, he and Emiya came to the stairs together.
The get out of class bell rang.
"The next class is your physical education class." Emiya immediately reacted, clearly revealing the fact that he even memorized Cu Chulainn's class timetable.
"It's still the joint physical education class of Class A and Class C." Cu Chulainn casually interjected, then suddenly paused as if thinking of something important, then solemnly turned his head to face Emiya, squinted his eyes and asked the other party: "Do you want to watch? Guided by Shakespeare's script, I feel that physical education is very suitable for accidents."
"I agree."
With a sigh of relief, Emiya agreed.
"I'll go," he said.
