Chapter 653: The Theory of the Royal Road
Shock, envy, and a little remorse. It was the feeling that Saber felt when he saw the bond between the King of Conquest and his subordinates, which even time could not break.
The effects of alcohol slowly faded, and an inexplicable emotion flowed through Saber's heart.
She was a little envious of the unbreakable bond between the King of Conquest and his subordinates, something she had been looking for, but had never been able to obtain.
"Hmph, that's interesting, mongrel. The king will admit you. But if you want to get the Holy Grail, it's not enough!"
With that, Archer looked at the lancer sitting next to him, as if waiting for his reply.
However, it is clear that Lancer clearly does not want to answer this question after seeing the Rider's mental portrait display.
"I'm just a warrior who wants nothing more than to give me the Holy Grail to my allegiance to the Lord. That's all, my wish is nothing compared to the kings!"
Hearing Lancer's words, Archer, who was still quite interested, immediately said unhappily: "Self-aware bastards are really boring!"
Lancer didn't respond to Archer's taunt, just silently lowered his head, as if thinking about something.
Ignoring Lancer, Archer turned to look at Saber and said.
"It's your turn, woman. What is your desire?"
"I, I hope to be able to elect a new king in England, and if I hadn't been the king, maybe those tragedies wouldn't have happened again!" said Saber with a heavy expression.
As if he heard some joke, Archer was stunned for a moment, and then laughed wildly: "Haha, it's really the best, this king is not mistaken, you are really the best toy!"
Hearing Archer's unbridled ridicule, Saber angrily took out the holy sword and shouted at Archer: "Archer, it's so rude! Apologize immediately, otherwise the holy sword in my hand will not spare you!"
Unfortunately, Archer was indifferent to Saber's threat, and instead said with a sneer: "Woman, you don't know what a king is!"
"Yes, Saber, the king never regretted it. If the king regrets it, then he is not worthy to be called king!" said Rider, shaking his head.
"This is impossible, don't you have any regrets about the past, you and your men never reached the Endless Sea, and the empire you founded collapsed immediately after your death, don't you have any regrets?" Saber asked tightly.
"No, I don't regret it. If the collapse of empires is a historical necessity, let them collapse. History is created by me and my loyal subordinates, and if the process ends up with destruction, I gladly accept it. But to change history is to deny the struggle of me and my subordinates. There is no point in this desire!"
Hearing that both kings denied their way of being king, Saber couldn't help but be confused.
"Woman, what is the king in your mind?"
Hearing Archer's question, Saber stared at him and replied in a solemn voice:
"Humility, integrity, mercy, valor, justice, sacrifice, honor, soul!
Be kind to the weak
Fight rape
Fight against all mistakes
Fight for the unarmed
Help anyone who asks me for help
Do no harm to any woman
Help my brother knights
Be sincere with my friends
Unswerving to the death of what you love!
This is a qualified king, this is the king who can protect the people!"
Saber's resounding reply did not elicit any applause, only a lone slap sounded from her side.
Saber looked back, only to realize that the only thing that praised himself was actually that mysterious sage!
And people like Archer and Rider all look at themselves with strange eyes.
"Saber, I have to say, the king didn't do that. You are trying to turn yourself into a saint on high, not a king. The king must have seven emotions and six desires, the king must live more wonderful than ordinary people, the king is the existence that all the people aspire to, and the king must live more like a person than anyone else! You must know that what the people want to follow is a living person, not a high god!" Rider admonished helplessly.
"Hey, rider, you don't have to say any more. This woman will not understand, this king does not know how you became king, but this king knows that you will not be a king at all, you do not understand people's hearts at all, and the courtiers who follow you will definitely end up quite miserable!"
Hearing Archer's words, Saber shook his whole body. She seemed to hear the voice of a thousand years ago. Is the king really wrong, and the source of all the tragedies is because he is an incompetent king?
Just as Saber was shaken by his beliefs, Archer stabbed Saber in the wound again!
"Woman, let me tell you what the way is to be king!"
"Everything in this world belongs to the king, and the untouchables can only prostrate themselves at the feet of this king, and behold the king's countenance. All things are recognized by the king, right and wrong are allowed by the king, and the world is borne by the king!"
"The king is the ruler of all things in this world!"
As he spoke, the realm of the heart image illuminated the royal path in Archer's heart.
Magnificent and glorious city, countless slaves prostrate on the ground, casting the majesty of the king with their flesh and blood. Thick white bones make up the throne of Gilgamesh.
And Gilgamesh, full of arrogance and arrogance, sat on a blood-stained throne of gold, looking down on all the people below, as ants and mustards!
Seeing such a scene, Saber almost trembled and rebuked: "These evil ways, you are a tyrant, cruel and unreasonable, why would the people support a king like you!"
"So, woman, you don't know what a king is, and you can only feel sorry for yourself and pray for the Holy Grail to change your tragedy. Archer said playfully.
I don't understand people's hearts, I don't understand what a king is, am I wrong, is everything my fault?
Under the blow of Archer, Saber's heart gradually fell into the dark side, and the red ominous magic began to envelop her body, and the original blue and white armor gradually turned red and black.
This is a precursor to the blackening and depravity of the Heroic Soul. If a Heroic Spirit's beliefs crumble, she will gradually lose herself and become a fallen monster.
"Don't, Saber! Wake up!" Alice Phil, who was on the side, saw that Saber was showing signs of blackening, and ran anxiously beside Saber, trying to regain her senses. But this kind of blackening is the collapse of one's own concept, and this kind of veto of one's own existence can not be restored by a few words of persuasion from others.
Just then, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Isn't it fun to play with a girl's mind? Archer!"
"Bastard! this is a question and answer between kings, and you are not qualified to join in yet!"
"Really!" Yun Qi said with a meaningful glance at Archer.
"Saber, don't think about it, if because of the other party's few words, you deny your own life, and deny the knightly concept you created, you are not worthy of being called a knight king. Think about it, the knights who follow you until death, and they are bound to you with just a few words from Archer, and what do you think your people are following you? Think about the eyes they look at you, it's true. If you deny yourself, you deny the thousands of people who follow your dreams!"
Like an initiation, Yun Qi's words woke Saber up like lightning and pulled it out of the blackened quagmire.
Re-established her faith, Saber's heart was no longer confused, and the holy sword in her hand also bloomed with dazzling light again, which was the sacred and inviolable holy light, the light of faith transformed by Saber's own firm faith. Yes, there is nothing wrong with the chivalry she created, it is a concept that has been passed down for thousands of years and is still celebrated. If she was really wrong, how could there be so many people in the world who believed in her chivalry, and her subordinates and people would worship her as the king!
