Chapter 192: Illya's Obsession
The little girl who woke up looked around with curious eyes and asked, "Where is this?"
Luo Wei walked over and looked at her body as if she was generally fine, it should be fine, and Berserker didn't have any special reaction, which was also worry-free. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"This is Italy, we are in the middle of the forest near Rome. ”
Illya looked at Rowe, obviously not knowing who the man in front of her was, but considering that Serra, Liz, and Berserker were all around, she didn't show any fear.
"Eh, so this isn't Fuyuki City, so how do I go back?"
Illya's words were a bit unexpected for Rowe, returning to Fuyuki City?
"Illya, listen to me first, the Holy Grail War in the Far East is over. Rowe then began to explain to Illya what had happened, including that they had been resurrected by a magician who had wandered the sea, and that it had been long since the end of the Fifth Holy Grail War in the Far East.
Rowe can also understand Illya's performance, although she has not seen it through historical back, but since she died in that Holy Grail War, which means that her memory only stays at the moment of death, for her, the Holy Grail War is just a matter before sleeping.
"Eh, liar!" Illya looked at Rowe with a little disbelief in her red eyes.
"Then let Serra and Liz explain it to you again. "Compared to someone she didn't know, the android who was also Einzberger was obviously more convincing to her.
Sierra and Liz gathered around Illya, explaining to her what was going on, and in the middle of it Rowe could hear a girl crying, he didn't look at it, he just didn't want to see it, and as for the reason why Illya was crying, Rowe could think of it.
After Lahad made adjustments, Illya's meaning of existence became to win the Holy Grail War, although it is not clear how Illya now defines Emiya Kiritsugu as a father, but from the fact that she was ordered to kill the betrayer, it is more important to win the Holy Grail War than her own father.
But the most important thing, which is enough to be called the meaning of Illya's life, ended more than ten years ago, after all, she is still a little girl, and it is normal to cry.
But when Serra spoke of the situation, Illya suddenly stopped crying.
"Serra, are you saying there's a Holy Grail War going on here right now?"
Sierra nodded.
"That's right, Eliya, your Berserker, and Mr. Rovi's servants, were all summoned on the premise of the Holy Grail War. ”
Although there were still tears on her face, her mood had stabilized, and then Illya wiped the tears from her eyes, stood up, and walked over to Rowe.
Luo Wei also turned around, and it seemed that Illya had something to say.
"Your name is Rowe Hidley?"
"That's right. ”
"Can you tell me a little bit about the current Holy Grail War, Sierra and Liz don't seem to be very familiar with each other. ”
Sierra and Liz were not participants in the Holy Grail War, but simply knew that there was a Holy Grail War taking place here, so many details could not be clarified to Eliya.
"Until then, I want to ask a question. Rowe crouched down, keeping his eyes on level with Illya. "Do you want to participate in this Holy Grail War because you want to participate in this Holy Grail War, or simply because of the concept that androids have been given?"
Luo Wei didn't know anything about Illya after participating in the Holy Grail War, the Holy Grail War can really change a person, even if it is an artificial person, although this can be known through historical backtracking, but Luo Wei hopes to understand these by asking, and he can also shorten the distance with Illya by the way.
Although it is not clear to Rowe whether the android can distinguish between his own consciousness and the consciousness given by his functions.
"I'm going to participate in it myself, even if the previous Holy Grail War has been lost, but it doesn't prove anything, I want to prove through this Holy Grail War that Berserker and I are the strongest. ”
Although his voice was still a little immature, his tone had the feeling of an adult, which made Luo Wei laugh.
"yes, it looks like you're acting on your own terms. ”
In fact, Rowe also guessed the development of this possibility, just like Sierra and Liz, if according to the will left by Lahad, Illya should have given the Wandering Sea something as experimental materials, but they violated this will and wanted to rescue Illya, so Rowe wondered if the consciousness of the android himself could surpass the consciousness brought by the function?
Now it seems that this is indeed the case.
"So, one last question. Rowe took a deep breath, knowing that the next question should touch Illya's minefield, but he still wanted to figure it out.
"Why do you want to kill Emiya Kiritsugu? Isn't he your father?"
This is something that Rowe can't understand, although he has seen Lahad transformed Illya through historical retrospection, but what exactly he did, Rowe didn't know, whether he directly expelled the concept of Emiya Kiritsugu's father from Illya's mind, and then gave him the name of a traitor, or something else.
Sure enough, after Rowe said the question, Illya lowered her head, a little gloomy.
Sierra and Liz tried to come up to comfort her, but were stopped by Rowe with a gesture.
"That kind of thing.... Isn't that of course..."
Illya was crying, but it was different from the feeling it had before, it was just crying with sadness, and now it was still with a little resentment.
"Daddy, Mommy, they said they would come back, but no one came back, not even to see me, that kind of guy, of course a betrayer!" Illya spoke unexpectedly fluently, only with a choked feeling.
Rowe frowned.
This is a little different from what he knew, Illya should have seen Kiritsugu go to the castle to look for her, and recognized the other party, but now she said no?
Rowe quickly figured it all out.
It seems that Lahad deleted part of Illya's amnestics, that is, the memory of bringing Emiya Kiritsugu to the castle, although it is okay to give orders through the center, but then the artificial people will know very well that this is the concept issued by the center, according to Illya's previous infatuation with her father, directly telling her that Kiritsugu is a betrayer, obviously not achieving the best effect.
So delete part of the memories about Kiritsugu in Illya's mind, and then tell her that Kiritsugu betrayed the family and never returned, so that there is no need for Lahad to give any orders, and Illya herself will have a hatred for Kiritsu.
It has to be said that this is a despicable and effective means.
Rowe put his hand on Illya's shoulder, trying to soothe her and tell her the truth, but he didn't want the little girl to open Rovi's arm and lift the cheek that was a little crying.
"Why do you want to leave me? Can't you take me to a dangerous place! I'm scared when I don't have my father and mother!"
What follows is a simple cry of a little girl who loves her parents.
"After my father and mother left, I was the only one who slept in bed every day, dreaming that I had become a huge cup, and several strands of black stuff had penetrated into my body, but no one would come to hug me when I cried, and no one would greet me.
"I can't get out of the castle, I want to go outside and play, I want to sit on my father's shoulder and pick branches, but I can't do anything. ”
"Serra, Liz, and Liz only came to take care of me because of the orders from the center! I want my father and mother to come and see me, why do we have to separate!"
Luo Wei couldn't help but be silent, unlike when he lost his parents when he became an adult, Illya lost his parents when he was a child, so of course it was impossible to accept the truth as quickly as he did.
Perhaps the reason she participated in the Holy Grail War was just to see her father again, so even if she didn't connect with Berserker in the first place, she insisted on going to the final test alone.
"The Holy Grail is something that can grant any wish, right?
Rowe reached out again and touched her small head, and this time the little girl did not refuse.
This is Illya's obsession, wanting to win the Holy Grail War, not only to prove that she and Berserker are the strongest, but also to hope that her parents will return to her side and return to the happy time of the three of them.
"I see, Illya, so don't cry. ”
Gently wiping away the tears from the corners of Illya's eyes, Serra and Liz on the side also walked up and hugged Illya.
Unlike what Illya said, Rowe knew very well that Serra and Liz definitely didn't come to take care of Illya simply because of the center's instructions, they also attached great importance to Illya, but in Illya's eyes, their parents were more important.
Although her thoughts are mature and her tone is very similar to that of an adult, after all, Illya is still a child, and she and Sera Ritz are hugging each other and crying, venting some kind of emotion.
Luo Wei got up and walked out of the stalactite cave and looked at the starry night sky, a scene that was easier to see in the mountains than in the brightly lit metropolis.
There was no lightness on his face, after all, he knew the truth about the Black Grail, it was not some almighty wishing device, it was simply something that existed as a key to a place.
Rowe was a little confused about how he should tell Illya about this.
Revealing the truth about the Black Grail to Illya is a sign of ruining her dreams of being reunited with her family.
