Chapter 54: Avalon
Although the battle lasted only one night, it had very serious consequences. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Not only were the nearby buildings and streets heavily damaged, but there were also many casualties among the military and civilians. In addition, the strange red mist of the sea demon, the golden light when the oath and the sword of victory were activated, and the huge waterspout caused by the battle of Yingluo, etc., all caused unease in Toki City and all of Japan, and the people demanded that the government release the truth of the matter.
Although it is 1994, camcorders are not as ubiquitous as they have been since the new millennium. But there is still a veteran photography enthusiast who happened to be fiddling with the new camera he had just acquired, and he planned to take a few photos of the starry sky to test the water, but he happened to capture the scene when the space was broken.
As soon as the picture was released, it immediately caused a sensation around the world, some people said that Japan had developed some kind of space weapon that was superior to nuclear weapons, some people said that it was a harbinger of alien invasion of the earth, and some people said that this was the quintessence of Japan, and it was a giant of light fighting monsters...... There are all kinds of theories, and even doomsday theories have appeared, and many new religions have been born as a result, and the already high suicide rate in Japan has once again ushered in a record high.
Some big countries could not sit still either, and called Japan one after another to "ask" the truth. In one night, this island nation in the Far East attracted the attention of the whole world.
The dignitaries had a headache to death, the bricks called the beasts one after another, and all kinds of brain-dead explanations bombarded the people in turn through TV and radio and other media, whether they believed it or not, they first made a "that's it" posture.
As for the effect, it is up to the professionals to worry about it.
Nine times out of ten, life is not as good as it should be, and as a participant in the Holy Grail War on one side of the party, it is equally unpleasant.
Say...... Emiya Kiritsugu.
He sat in his chair with a blank face. There are two beds in the room, and one person lies on each bed.
One is her wife, Alice Phil, and the other is the servant he summoned, the Knight King Saber.
In order to save the world, he can be the enemy of the world.
To save the world, he can kill women and children without mercy.
But in order to save the world, now you need to kill your own wife with your own hands...... How do you choose?
Or rather, what is the right choice?
Lighting a cigarette, the red light lit up with the breath, randomly dimmed. The floor was full of cigarette butts, and the room was already filled with smoke.
This is the first one? Emiya Kiritsugu doesn't know.
How many boxes are this? Emiya Kiritsugu doesn't know.
The only thing he knows is that he has a choice to make!
Alice Phil is the vessel of the Little Grail, and the Immortal does not return to the Throne of the Immortal after her death, but enters her body in the form of a soul. But a soul that cannot bear the plurality of the body, as the Holy Grail War progresses, more and more heroic spirits will leave, and she will gradually lose her human function, like the living dead, and finally disappear from the world completely.
Strictly speaking, she didn't die, but was converted into a little challic. But if you lose consciousness, you lose your emotions, you lose your memory, what is the difference between that and death?
The container of the Holy Grail has been a dead end from the beginning!
By now, three Immortal souls have entered her body, Assassin, Caster, and an unknown Immortal. Although it is strange about the identity of the heroic spirit, but now Emiya Kiritsugu has no intention of delving into these details.
It should be said that Alice Phil is still able to maintain her vital signs, all thanks to a treasure.
King Arthur's scabbard, Avalon!
This relic, which bears the name of the Fairy Country, is actually an EX-level enchantment treasure that can continue to heal the owner's injuries as long as it is by the Knight King's side. Emiya Kiritsugu asked Alice Fell and Saber to act together, ostensibly to confuse the enemy, but deep down, why didn't he want to continue his wife's life?
Maybe a miracle will come.
Emiya Kiritsugu is both a ruthless killer and a naΓ―ve and fanciful child.
The cigarette butt was thrown on the ground, and then one foot stepped on it, crushing it hard.
He has already made his decision.
Walking to his wife's bedside, Alice Fell also opened her eyes in time and showed a weak smile.
"Kiritsugu, smoking too much is not good for your health......"
Just a simple sentence completely shattered the strength that Emiya Kiritsugu had just built, he knelt on the side of the bed with a thud, clutched his wife's hand tightly, didn't even dare to raise his head, just kept saying: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
"Fool, why do you say you're sorry?" Alice Phil gently stroked Emiya Kiritsugu's head, "You haven't done anything wrong, I'm the one who should say I'm sorry." I'm sorry that as a wife, I am so useless and make you make such a painful choice. β
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" he couldn't think of anything other than to apologize.
"Now, you know? I'm actually very happy! I'm just a tool that was made, but I can escape that cage and see the world as it is. I've seen the sea, I've seen the beach, I've seen the sunrise beautifully, and I've seen the starry sky. What's more...... I also have a family, a husband who loves me dearly, and a beautiful daughter! And all of this is because of you! Artificial humans will be closer to human beings if they have love, right?"
Alice Phil took her husband's hand and put it on her lower abdomen: "I'm sorry, I can't mobilize my magic anymore, so I need your help with me!"
Emiya Kiritsugu's hands were trembling, his throat was dry, as if a fire was burning, and he said in an extremely hoarse voice, "Ellie, I ......"
"I love you, Kiritsugu!" Alice Phil interrupted her husband, smiling and shedding tears, "Help me take care of Illya, don't let her become like me!"
After a brief silence, a golden glow appeared on Alice Phil, and the enamel blue scabbard slowly emerged from her body and fell into the hands of Emiya Kiritsugu.
Alice Fell closed her eyes as if she were asleep.
"Have a good rest, Ellie, I'll be with you when it's all over!" Emiya Kiritsugu gently covered the quilt for her, and then wiped the tears from the corners of his wife's eyes with his fingers: "...... I, too, love you!"
Saber woke up, sat up from her bed, and was surprised to find that her injuries had healed.
"Are you finally awake? It's been a little longer than expected!"
A male voice rang out, and Saber turned her head, it was none other than her Master, Emiya Kiritsugu. The other party was sitting at the table, sorting out the large and small firearms with a blank face.
"Emiya...... Kiritsu?"
"Ah, yes, I'm right. So Saber, how are you now?"
"I'm ......" Saber jumped out of bed, stretched out his hands, clenched and released, "It's surprisingly good, the injuries are healed, and the magic is endless, did you do something?"
"Nothing, just returning what was yours. β
"What belongs to me?" Saber was stunned, then startled, as she hurriedly summoned her weapon. Sure enough, this time, in addition to the Broken Steel Sword wrapped in the Wind King's enchantment, there was also a blue scabbard hanging from his waist.
"Is this, Avalon?!" Saber was in ecstasy, and the scabbard was gone, and the joy was indescribable.
"Yes, it's Avalon, the ideal place away from the world!" "Emiya Kiritsugu stopped what he was doing, stood up and said, "Then the king who has the strongest sword and the strongest shield, can you bring me the final victory now?"
"Of course!" said Saber confidently, "victory will be upon King Arthur!"
"Very well, let's get started, it's been two days, and some things still need to be prepared in advance!" Emiya Kiritsugu picked up the huge gun bag and walked out the door.
"Wait a minute, Alice Phil, don't you need to protect her?" Saber looked left and right, but saw something on the table, "Also, that thing called cigarettes, you forgot." β
Emiya Kiritsugu's footsteps paused for a moment, and then became firm again: "I've quit smoking!"
