Chapter 9: The Lion and Mordred

Foreword: There are also a lot of discrepancies in this paragraph of the animation, and it feels better to be honest. If you have seen it, you can skip it directly.

In Bucharest, in the cemetery of the Stavropoleos Church, the Lion Raider also succeeded in summoning his followers.

"So, you're my master?"

The dwarf knight, covered in steel, asked. Even through the helmet, the transparent voice is still clearly conveyed. The Lion Tribulation nodded and reached forward.

"My name is the lion robbery. It's your master, so please take care of it. ”

"Is this a cemetery? You summoned me in a nasty place. ”

The outstretched hand was ignored. The lion grabbed his scalp and argued:

"Ah, even if you say that...... Either way, it's like my home turf for me. ”

"You were born in the cemetery?"

"I spent my teenage years with corpses. ”

With that said, the knight nodded in understanding.

"I see, you, a necromancer?"

"That's right. So, you're Saber, right?"

Looking at the sword in the knight's hand, the lion robber asked.

"Isn't that nonsense? If you could call me a caster or an assassin, you'd have something wrong with your eyes and brain. ”

"There really seems to be such an assassin in the world. (Wang Hassan, that's you.) οΌ‰

"Could it be that I drew a stupid melon master?"

"No, no, you've got the best Master, Saber. I am a lion robbing the world, and my conceit is very worthy of being a first-class master of your master. ”

"Hmph, I don't know if it's just lip service. ”

"Straight to business, Saber. First of all, can you tell me your real name?

Normally, when the Master comes face to face with the Servant, he can obtain some level of information. Attributes such as physical strength, stamina, etc., as well as valuable information such as skills. This is a very valuable treasure in terms of strategy.

Therefore, the first thing the masters confirm is naturally the servant they have summoned. On the basis of understanding their indicators, we can refine the strategy of how to fight.

However, although the knight in front of him can confirm the basic parameters, the inherent skills and treasure data that are the personality of the Heroic Spirit are all blocked and cannot be read.

"It's because of this helmet, I'm going to take it off now. ”

As soon as Saber finished speaking, the helmet that covered his face was disassembled and merged into the armor. Faced with the demeanor of "her" revealed, the lion robber was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Is it, woman?"

No, maybe it's a teenager. In any case, it is a rather immature figure. Maybe she was too unexpected, and accidentally slipped out of her mouth, which made her mood worse all of a sudden. However, the Lion Raider did not notice this.

"Don't let me hear it a second time. ”

"What?"

The cold words full of murderous intent brought the lion back to his senses.

"Next time I call me a woman, I can't promise that I can control myself. ”

Saber spoke of murderous intent with her glowing pupils. It seems he was serious, Lion Tribulation muttered instinctively.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm not going to say it again. ”

Raising his hands, the lion robbed honestly to make amends.

Saber's face was contorted with anger, but his mood seemed to improve. She took a deep breath and whispered with a slightly disappointed expression:

"Forgive you. I'm not allowed to talk about this topic again in the future, so keep it in mind. ”

β€œOK。 So what is your real nameβ€”β€”β€”"

"Hmm? What's going on, master. I don't know what catalyst you used, but didn't you summon me with me in mind? I don't even know my real name. ”

"Ah, no, that's what the catalyst uses. ”

As the Lion Tribulation dodged the unraveling magic circle, Ber took it and looked at the thing with a surprised expression.

"What the hell. ”

"It's a round table. You knights used to use it. ”

Saber's mood, which had temporarily improved, immediately took a sharp turn for the worse.

She smacked her tongue and slashed the relic, which I feared would never be found again, with the sword in her hand without hesitation.

"Hey!"

Saber trampled with his armor what had literally turned into sawdust.

"It's so hateful! I didn't expect to be summoned with such a thing!"

Looking at that expression, she really hated the round table from the bottom of her heart.

That's weird, the lion thought. For the Knights of the Round Table, it should be a place to talk and laugh. Although the Knights of the Round Table eventually turned against each other, it was not intended.

Since there is such an abhorrence for this round table, thenβ€”

Her real name, the lion robbery came to mind. If any knight hated the Round Table so much, it must be the only Knight of the Round Table who had explicitly betrayed the Knight King.

β€œSaber。 Could it be that your real name is 'Mordred'?"

The lion's inquiry made Mordred frown slightly. Her real name was guessed because of Fang Cai's actions, which made her look a little embarrassed.

But she still declared in a resolute tone:

"Exactly. My name is Mordred, and I am the only legitimate heir to the Knight King Arthur Pandoragon. ”

"Didn't you betray yourself? ”

Faced with the accusation of the lion robbery, Saber suddenly blushed and declared:

"Ahh I did rebel. That king didn't admit my strength until the end. Whether it's swordsmanship or political skills, I'm on an equal footing with Wang - no, I should have surpassed her. However, the Soul King refused to let me ascend the throne because of my origins. ”

The cold voice was not because it suppressed the impulse, but rather the opposite. The anger and hatred that made her whole body tremble were lodged in her.

Her origins, Mordred, are said to be the unfaithful son of King Arthur and his sister Morgan, which is too deadly.

"So I betrayed him and sent him on my way. I want to show that king that there is no meaning in his rule. ”

That's right. According to legend, it was indeed this Mordred who drove King Arthur to his death. Even though he was pierced through his body by the holy spear, this Mordred still gave King Arthur a fatal blow.

After the dying King Arthur threw the holy sword back into the lake, he went to the fairy country. This Mordred, on the other hand, stopped breathing on the Camran Hill. Later, only the notoriety of the rebellious knight was handed down.

"Whew. That is, saber. Do you want to be king?"

For Mordred, who was denied the throne, becoming king was undoubtedly a wish she should have asked for the Holy Grail to fulfill. However, Mordred responded to the words of the lion robbery in a smug tone:

"No, that's wrong. I don't want to be king with the power of the Holy Grail. Even if I ascend to the throne, my father will never approve of it. My wish, Master, is to be able to challenge myself to the chosen sword, that's all."

"The chosen sword? is it the sword that King Arthur has drawn out. ”

Saber nodded. That's right, it is said that when King Arthur was a teenager, he pulled out the sword that no strong man in the country failed to challenge, and thus obtained the qualification to become king.

If Mordred drew that sword, her qualifications to be king would indeed be recognized. However, there is a fatal flaw in his wishes.

"β€”Now, may I ask a question?"

"Say it"

"What if the Holy Grail grants your wish and you don't pull out your sword?"

Yes. If you challenge the chosen sword, there is a possibility that you will not be able to pull it out. After all, it was a sword that no man in the country had been able to achieve. Even Mordred, who has inherited the blood of King Arthur, can pull it out or not, to be honest, it is difficult to make a conclusion.

"You asked a stupid question, master. There's no way I can't pull it out!"

However, Saber puffed out his chest and asserted. The coercion contained in that voice did have a demeanor worthy of a king. Maybe she'll be able to pull out her sword easily.

"Master, then. Hurry up and give instructions. Where is the enemy to be defeated?"

"Don't worry. ”

The Lion Tribulation calmed Mordred, who was urging with an excited voice.

"Haven't you heard the proverb 'If you want to hurry, you can't get there'?"

"Who cares about that kind of thing! I was summoned to kill seven enemies!"

It seems that she has been given knowledge related to this Holy Grail War.

"That's right. It's unclear what the situation is with the seven on the other side. ”

At this moment, there was a faint sound of flapping wings in the sky.

The two of them looked up in unison. I saw a gray pigeon parked on a branch. It swirled the eyes of the emotionless bird and spat out the piece of paper in its mouth. As soon as the task was completed, the pigeon flew away.

As soon as the lion robber picked up the piece of paper, Saber probed and watched with interest.

"Is it a demon?"

"It seems to be. They said they wanted to meet us right away. ”

"Who sent it?"

"Guys who have the same interests as us. ”

After saying that, the lion tribulation crushed the note that read, "Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, Sighisoara, the church on the mountain."
