In this world, there is a man who is dressed in a simple but wrapped in a robe woven from the highest fibers.
The man accosted the flowers as if he were talking to a friend, and walked among the flowers. He didn't have the slightest confusion or hesitation, humming a song, clearly not using any magic or mystery, but the flowers that did not bloom were competing one by one along the man's footprints.
Who is this person?
Many people have Evan in their hearts, a stranger who players can be sure of never seeing before, both in the Fate anime and in the game.
Could it be King Arthur?
But shouldn't King Arthur in fate be a woman?
Could it be that he used some magic to change his appearance?
Although the man was alone all the time, there was no sign of identity, no self-introduction, or his name called. But suddenly, people who were very familiar with the story of King Arthur came up with a name - Merlin!
It's a name that has never appeared in Fate...... No, it can't be considered that he didn't appear, his name once appeared, in the ending of the fate line!
Merlin can make Emiya come to Avalon to meet Saber after his death, and Merlin is indispensable!
The fairyland-like scenery here is undoubtedly the legendary Avalon. Since this person is not saber. Then he can only be Merlin.
For here. Merlin is an unexpected intruder. Merlin seems to be "fleeing", and it is a bit inappropriate to say that he is "fleeing", because Merlin does not feel the slightest nervousness, as if he is traveling. But he was hiding from something.
Moreover, knowing that there was danger ahead, he still stepped in with curiosity, and then, of course, he was sealed. There are no ceilings. The vertical walls extend indefinitely. Locked up the visiting magician. It's like a tower without a roof. Merlin turned back in the middle of the stone tower. The door that I had just entered was gone, and there were only stone walls that stretched infinitely into the sky.
Even across the world, this curse followed, and it was clear that he had sinned against a woman, and it was very deep.
Merlin's expression was a little helpless and a little puzzled, as a hybrid of humans and nightmares, he fed on dreams, and didn't seem to know anything about the application of feelings.
"I still don't know about human beings. Isn't this a curse that can't be established if you don't exchange your life? I don't remember ever doing anything to that girl that would be hated to such an extent......"
Merlin didn't say much about being "imprisoned", and he shrugged his shoulders. Take a seat on the only protruding rock wreck in a cramped detached house. If you want to be a chair, it's a little harder, but the height is just right. Sitting on the rock, look upwards to see the only small window in the wall.
The sky seen through the window is not reality. But as long as it is the same era, no matter where a man is, he can see the whole world.
In his eyes, there was a shadow of the poster that the audience had seen before, a petite figure, half-kneeling on the hill strewn with corpses, looking around, his eyes full of confusion and pain...... as well as shaking.
Merlin stroked his bosom, and suddenly a small thing emerged from his clothes—it was his demon.
"The Last Days Are Coming......"
With the long and vicissitudes of the memory, the picture begins to ripple, blur, and plunge into darkness like the surface of the water. Soon, the picture flashed, and in the gentle light, the scenery seemed to be very blurry, and after a while, it flashed again, as if a person had just woken up.
The camera zooms out, and the surroundings are still very dark, except for the morning light that comes in through the crack in the door. Through the morning light, I saw the surrounding scenery clearly, this is no longer the fairyland on earth, the simple house, full of ancient style.
The rat was very bold and swept past the door, and looking at his skinny appearance, it was clear that life here was not promising. The rat burrowed into the haystack in the room and vanished.
Tianman's realistic CG strength made the audience even smell damp and moldy.
On the bed was a handsome young man who had just woken up with only a thin blanket.
Blonde and blue-eyed, Fate's fans, especially Saber's fans, were suddenly excited, and there was no doubt that even if she wasn't wearing her armor, even if she didn't hold the Excalibur that belonged only to her, the fans would recognize her at a glance!
This is the king's call!
The real story, this is just the beginning, this is the story of King Arthur in the world of fate, this is the story of King Arthur of a woman, this is the story before Artoria became Saber, this is also the story of how Artoria became the legendary King Arthur like a car, and how she became Saber!
"This is a sword in the stone, why does it look a little different from Excalibur in fate?"
The story begins with the sword in the stone, "Whoever draws this sword is the king of Britain" - this is a sword that chooses kings, this is a sword destined to belong to King Arthur, and of course none of the surrounding knights can pull it out.
Because Artoria was not old enough to be a knight, she did not participate. Seeing that no one could draw their swords, the knights turned to knightly jousting.
The CG production is extremely delicate, even every texture on the stone, every trace of hair on the human body is very clear, and the CG-level special effects are more real than real people, which attracts the attention of many people to the sword in the stone.
So someone whispered the above inquiry to his companion, thinking that Tianman had not done a good job.
But his companion also lowered his voice and replied: "Of course it's different, the sword in the stone is the sword in the stone, and Excalibur is Excalibur." These are two swords. The sword in the stone was interrupted again. So King Arthur received another holy sword from the nymph of the lake. It's Excalibur. ”
The surroundings are calm.
It was clearly still so lively, but now there was no one there.
The knights, as well as the people, left.
No one approached the rock where the sword was pierced, and even how many people believed the prophecy was suspicious, and the sword was discarded here as if nothing had changed in the first place.
No, there was one person who never moved.
Artoria looked at his brother Kai in the distance, at the hot knight game over there, and then turned her head to stare at the sword in the stone.
Slightly different from the original legend, the original legend was when King Arthur fetched a sword for Kai. Because the door of the house was placed, he pulled out the sword in the stone.
And here after all, it's not King Arthur in reality, it's King Arthur in the world of fate.
She was born here to draw this sword. But when she stood in front of the sword, she asked herself: Why did she pull this sword?
In fact, like the regret or wish of her deceased father, she can't move into feelings. I don't feel a special sense of mission or emotion for the teachings of magicians. In the past fifteen years, she has been inspired only by the dull daily life with her adoptive father, Actor and her brother-in-law, Kai, and the frolicking of the people who live in the town. It's not like longing or love, it's just that that kind of thing looks like a good thing in her eyes.
Her motivation is different from that of the previous king Yusher. It is not the desire to dominate as a human being, nor is it the sense of obligation that the ruler has. It is not an intoxication of faith.
Her motivation is only a very small thing. Fifteen years of life that she could not spend as a human being were all she wanted.
There was only one reason to pick up a sword.
Just looking at people's lives gives rise to empower. There is the motivation to move forward. What exactly do you want to do? Even if you don't say it, you can confirm it.
That was the answer that the king was looking for, bred by a young girl named Artoria, full of humanity.
She silently rested her hand on the hilt of her sword, and the voices of the brave cavalry could be heard in the distance. The clamor of the knights was far away, and the surrounding of the rock was deserted. And that's similar to the feeling of watching the festival from afar.
It wasn't just now, she's been outside the festival all along. At all times, he is like a bystander, silently watching a qiē.
So it's not like that uncomfortable thing looks like.
The hilt of the sword closed in surprise. It was difficult to deal with until now, and it was churning in the body, and something was sucked into the sword as if it was about to break from the inside, and the body felt lighter and lighter.
It was as if the sword had become a part of her body, and she believed that as long as she withdrew her hand, the sword in the stone would be pulled out by herself.
Artoria took a deep breath, but at that moment, a voice suddenly came.
"It's better to think for yourself before you pick it up. ”
Coming back to her senses, Artoria found that behind her stood an unknown man, Merlin. No, they've met countless times, but this is the first time she's seen them in reality.
"Once you pick up that sword, you will no longer be human until the end. It's not just that. Once you pick it up, you will be hated by all the humans and welcome a tragic death. ”
Merlin didn't just talk about it, but presented her fate in the future directly in her mind in the form of a reflection.
Artoria knew that it was not counsel but prophecy. If she picks up that sword, no matter how much she struggles, she will meet the reality of a lonely and tragic death.
Merlin thought about it, why did he do this? The plan he had agreed with Uther did not include this language, but would have pushed Arthur aside......
However, Artoria did not let go, and her hair fluttered in the wind like a golden veil.
Before, she was scared in her heart, not because she was afraid of her end, but because she was afraid of whether this decision was the right one.
If there is a man who is more suitable to be a king than himself, then he can lead the country better?
But such a person did not appear, at least not yet, and in the meantime someone had to take on this obligation.
Draw your sword and become someone else.
The one that I feared until now is a thing of the past.
It is a ritual to kill yourself.
If there is a human heart, it is impossible to protect the people with a king.
The so-called king is to protect the people, and kill the most people.
As a young child, she thought about it every night, and she trembled until dawn. There's not a day she doesn't fear, and yet that will end today.
No matter how many times she will be alienated, feared, or even betrayed in the future, her heart will not change.
Live for the people!
To live with people!
In order to leave the future for people!
"There were a lot of people laughing. I don't think you can go wrong. ”
Who knows the noble oath?
The sword, which was drawn.
