Chapter 893
The king's banquet was over, and for Artoria, it was a happy parting.
However, Emiya Kiritsugu didn't care, and didn't even bother to know what the three kings were talking about, for him, getting the Holy Grail was the most important thing.
Since Einzberen's castle in the mountains was attacked one after another, and almost all the magicians and servants knew about it, Emiya Kiritsugu decided to move the stronghold.
In order to prevent any accidents, Wakaba escorted Ellie Sophie during the day for the first time.
A new base... How to say it, it is very Japanese-style architecture, but it is too dilapidated, the white wall skin is cracked and peeled off by moisture, falling to the ground, and the moss is growing against the root of the wall and crawling all over the wall, and it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.
In the words of Ellie Sophie, this is the legendary haunted house... In fact, Wakaba felt that the tattered castle in the mountains was more like a haunted house at night.
Ellie Sophie didn't feel aggrieved at all, but she was very happy, she had heard Emiya Kiritsugu talk about Japanese customs a long time ago, but unfortunately after coming to Japan, she just walked around the city and lived in a castle deep in the mountains.
This is the first time I have seen this classic building in a traditional style.
However, the traditional Japanese style of architecture is too open, and the air circulation is strong, which is conducive to the flow of magic power, but it is not conducive to the accumulation of magic power, which is suitable for fighting, but it is not suitable for use as a defensive magic workshop.
Fortunately, the warehouse structure built of masonry and cement next to the main house is closed, which is conducive to the construction of a magic workshop, and the area is not small, so it is not a problem to build a magic workshop of the same level as the deep mountain castle.
"Excuse me, Saber, can you do me a favor? β
"Yes. β
"I want to ask you to mix mercury or something, I will tell you the recipe, don't worry. Can you help me get the equipment in the car?"
"No problem. β
Artoria answered, but did not leave immediately, but said with a solemn expression:
"Ellie Sophie, I want to ask, it feels as if you are trying to avoid touching things today.
Am I being too careful?
I wouldn't care if it was just driving and keeping the keys, but you don't want to do the magic yourself.
If you are not in good health, please let me know first, and I have an obligation to protect you if something happens. β
βΒ·Β·Β· I'm sorry. β
After a brief silence, Elle Sophie apologized softly and smiled apologetically:
"There's really nothing to hide from you, and now I'm going to hold your hand with all my might, okay?"
Artoria didn't know what Elle Sophie wanted to do, and she was puzzled, but she still answered:
"Well, please. β
Ellie Sophie reached out and grabbed Artoria's hand, but Artoria said in confusion:
"Ellie Sophie?"
Ellie Sophie's fingers trembled slightly, her voice was no longer active as before, and she said a little weakly:
"For me now, this is already the limit, at most I can only gently hook with my fingertips, and I can't even hold or grasp such movements.
Changing clothes in the morning is also a lot of work. β
Artoria said with some anxiety and concern when she heard this:
"To... What the hell is going on? Is it hurt?"
"Overloaded. β
"Huh?"
Artoria was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Wakaba who suddenly spoke out, and suddenly remembered that Wakaba was the bodyguard that Emiya Kiritsugu invited to Artoria, and he was very strong, and he seemed to know the situation of Ellie Sophie very well.
"Is it an overload of my mana?"
"No, the mana required by an A+-level free-moving Heroic Spirit, even if it is a sustaining entity, consumes very little mana. β
Wakaba shook his head slightly, rejecting Artoria's speculation, and then turned his gaze to Ellie Sophier and said:
"Madam, there are some things that need not be hidden from Artoria, and there are some things that I should almost tell you. β
"What?"
Ellie Sophie was also stunned when she heard this, she didn't know what Wakaba was hiding from her.
Wakaba tilted his head slightly, and said lightly to Artoria:
"Artoria, you know that the Lady is an artificial human, but I probably don't know that the Lady was created to exist as a container for the Holy Grail.
Also known as the 'Little Holy Grail'.
Giving consciousness to objects is the specialty of the Einzberen family.
After the failed Heroic Spirit returns to Valhalla, all the magic power is gathered in a container, and when the time comes, it will condense into a Holy Grail.
And in this process, with the accumulation of magic power, the wife's consciousness will gradually disappear, and finally restore to the original truth of the object. β
Artoria's eyes widened in disbelief, and she turned her soliciting gaze to Ellie Sophie, and said in a lost voice:
"How so?"
"Wakaba is really knowledgeable. β
Ellie Sophie didn't respond positively to Artoria's inquiring gaze, but her answer undoubtedly affirmed the truth of what Wakaba said, smiled bitterly, and then said curiously:
"What are you hiding from me?"
Wakaba shook his head slightly and chuckled:
"It's not hiding it from you, it's just that you don't realize it.
Think about it, what was my deal with Kiritsugu Emiya?"
"Wakaba Kiritsugu's deal?"
Hearing this, Ellie Sophie muttered to herself with some doubts, and then said:
"Isn't it protecting me until the end of the Holy Grail War?"
Wakaba chuckled and nodded, and continued to ask:
"That's right, so when is the Holy Grail War over?"
Ellie Sophie replied:
"Well, when the other six Heroic Spirits return to their places. β
The Holy Grail War has a total of seven Masters and seven Heroic Spirits participating in the war, and when the six Heroic Spirits return, the last one will represent the only winner, and the Holy Grail War will naturally be over.
Ellie Sophie suddenly thought of something, and carried Wakaba in surprise, and stopped talking:
"Do you mean..."
Wakaba bowed slightly.
"That's right, summoning the Heroic Spirits, fighting each other, and making a wish for the Holy Grail, the Holy Grail War in the trade between me and Kiritsugu will only end after this set of processes, and if it is a normal protection, only Artoria is enough.
However, the time for your self-dissolution is far less than Kiritsugu and I expected, and even if there is an existence equivalent to magic, it will be too fast. β
Elle Sophie sighed a little happily when she heard this:
"Kiritsugu, that's my fate, it was predestined from the beginning. β
Although she didn't say it explicitly, Ellie Sophie obviously didn't think that Wakaba had the ability to change her current situation, and if it weren't for the existence of Avalon, which is equivalent to magic and has a strong healing power, she would probably have a few difficulties in moving now.
"Don't put your faith in fate. β
Wakaba chuckled, reached out and took out a cup and said:
"All it takes is a minor surgery and everything will be solved. β
ββββββββββββββIt's too late, I'll change it tomorrowββββββββββββ
Chapter 892
Wakaba looked around curiously, the inherent enchantment, the materialization of the mental landscape, he felt very familiar, a bit similar to his dream realm descending to the Nth power weakened version.
The king of conquest turned his back to all and said proudly and heroically:
"This is the land that my legion once drove, and it is the scenery that the warriors who have shared the weal and woe with the king have imprinted it into their hearts!"
With the words of the conquering king, the metal armor collided, and the dense footsteps of the army marched like war drums sounded behind him.
It was an army, an army that could not be seen from the beginning to the end, I don't know how long and wide, and I don't know how many people there were, with spears like forests and a sea of people!
The King of Conquest opened his arms and said in a voice that was even more proud than before, to Artoria and the others and to the Assassin:
"This world, this landscape can exist in this world precisely because he is the image of the hearts of all of us!"
"Look, that's my unparalleled legion!
Even though my body has vanished and my soul has been absorbed by the world as a heroic spirit, I am still loyal to me, legendary warriors!"
"The bond with them is my supreme treasure!My royal way!The strongest treasure I am proud of as Iskander!Ionian Hetairoi [Legion of Kings]!"
As the words of the conquering king fell, a terrifying cry erupted in the legions, responding to the heroic words of their king.
"Yo-ah!!" ΓN
Webber looked at the seemingly endless army in astonishment, and his heart was so shocked that he lost his mind and exclaimed:
"They... Everybody's a Servant!"
"Whew..."
Wakaba looked at the back of the king of conquest, and let out a long breath, his eyes flashed with inexplicable colors, and his heart was amazed.
is worthy of being the emperor, convinced, if he was born in his time, in the land he ruled, I am afraid that even he can't help but devote himself to such a heroic king!
The spirit of the king is truly there!
It is true that in the historical records, this king has all kinds of flaws and defects, but with such a mind and majesty, everything is false.
Glory to my king!
In a large army, those who can become heroic spirits are definitely the elite troops of the elite, and the high-ranking generals among them, without counting the treasures, are not inferior to Artoria abound.
In such a comparison, Artoria is indeed much more petty than the King of Conquest.
A tall horse with strong muscles, rough limbs, and pure black fur like silk, a line taller than the king of conquest, slowly walked to the king of conquest.
The king of conquest held the slightly lowered head of the god horse sideways, and said affectionately:
"Long time gone, man. β
The horse's head rubbed against the conquering king's shoulder, and he responded with a dull thunderous snort.
The king of conquest held the reins of the divine horse, turned around and looked at the people who followed him all over the world before his death, swept across the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa, and still lived on his heroic soul after death, swore to follow his generals and army to the death, and said loudly with his head held high:
"The so-called king! is a figure who wants to live a wonderful life more than anyone else, and will make everyone fall for it!"
The army raised their spears and shouted in unison:
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The King of Conquest stepped onto the Divine Horse, the Divine Horse did not need to be urged, and the psychic footsteps turned lightly, leading the King of Conquest to face the army.
"Only those who gather the admiration of thousands of warriors and stand like a road sign can be kings!
Therefore, the king is not alone!
Because of its will, it is the sum of the aspirations of all its subjects!"
The crowd raised their spears again and shouted in unison.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The King of Conquest's eyes were bright, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he looked back at the Assassin, who had been shocked by the incredible scene, and smiled:
"So, let's get started, Assassin!
As you can see, the battlefield we have materialized is the plains, sorry, the ground is on our side with a numerical advantage!"
How dare the Assassin talk back to the King of Conquest, they are already frightened, and they can't help but retreat under the gaze of the King of Conquest, wanting to escape.
However, in the mental landscape of the conquering king and all the soldiers, where could they flee?
The words of the conquering king are not discussing anything, but only the declaration of the king's demeanor.
Boom!
The short, wide steel sword was unsheathed, and the twin blades and patterns shimmered in the sunlight with a dazzling golden glow.
Pointing forward with his sword, the King of Conquest laughed and shouted and commanded:
"Ravage!"
"Oh!" ΓN
Hundreds of thousands of troops were in high spirits and burst into shouts of excitement as they followed the king of conquest and marched forward bravely.
This is a war without suspense, not only in numbers, but also in the clash of wills!
The Assassin died in just one charge of [King's Army], and disappeared without a trace in an instant, like a drop of water falling into the sea.
The King of Conquest sat on top of the divine horse, staring at his soldiers with big eyes and looking proudly at his soldiers, before he raised his short sword and let out a roar of victory.
"Woohoo!!"
"Oh yes!!" ΓN
Countless soldiers roared with the king of conquest and let out a cry of victory.
Such a shocking scene made the hearts of everyone present ripple, Ellie Sophie, Wakaba, and Webber just felt extremely shocked, but Artoria's blue eyes were full of complicated colors.
Jin Shining, on the other hand, sat in place with his wine glass in his hand throughout, his expression unchanged, making it impossible to know what he was thinking.
ββββββ
Whew...
The King of Conquest raised his glass, filled a glass of wine from the barrel he had bought, drank it all, put it on the ground, and exhaled:
"We're done with the wrapping up, we're done with what we're going to say, so that's it for tonight. β
The King of Conquest got up from the ground and turned to leave.
Artoria also stood up and said:
"Wait, Rider, I haven't yet..."
"You better stop talking. β
The conquering king interrupted Artoria's words without looking back, and said with a slight pause:
"Tonight is a feast for kings to talk about, but Saber, I don't recognize you anymore. β
Cracking sound!
As he spoke, the King of Conquest summoned his chariot [Kamui Wheel], walked up with the still dazed Lord Weber, paused before leaving, and finally turned his head sideways to Artoria and sighed:
"I said, girl.
It's time to wake up from that painful dream, or one day, you'll lose even the least of your glory as a hero.
The dream of the king you are talking about is just that kind of curse. β
"What did you say!?"
Cracking sound!
The King of Conquest did not respond to Artoria's angry questioning, and drove away.
His previous words were not pity, although he did not agree with Artoria's status as a 'king', but he agreed that Artoria was a respectable opponent, and that remark was just a warning to the point.
In his words, the kaolin flower of the battlefield needs to be cared for.
