Eighty-Nine - The Mystery of Life
"How ?!!"
The blood-like gem was clasped in the center of the silver-white chain, glowing a strange red in the dim light.
The body of the gem exudes a faint magic, even after many years and years, it still does not dissipate, showing how brilliant the gem was in the past! Even if it is not a famous treasure, it must be an heirloom of a famous family!
Just, if it's a little sharp-eyed and interested in magic? Those who know a little about magic have already discovered that the light emitted by the gem at this moment is actually only a product of the reflection under the light. The accumulation and baptism of years and months left only a trace of smoke and haze that lingered on the surface, and as for the inside of the gem, there was not much magic left.
"It's impossible," said Rin, who involuntarily took two steps back from his feet, but his eyes never took off the necklace in Archer's hand.
She knows.
She knows this necklace!
With such a design, this size, color and type of gemstones, coupled with the sense of time and years, she is very clear and undoubted, this necklace that Archer took out from the collar is exactly the gemstone necklace handed down from the Tosaka family! At the same time, it is also a relic left to her by her father! She herself intends to rely on the trump card for the final victory in the Holy Grail War!
Just why, exactly? Why on earth was the gem that should have been on her body but Archer took it out of herself?
As if to confirm, Rin Tosaka slammed his hand into the collar of his coat, then flipped it over and pulled out a necklace encrusted with crimson gemstones. And this crimson necklace is exactly the same as the one in Archer's hand!
Seeing that the situation had reached this point, everyone in the hall could no longer react. All of a sudden, whether it was Illya in Archer's arms or Hercules, who hadn't paid much attention to listening since he had nothing to do with himself, everyone's eyes were focused on Rin Tosaka and Archer.
The red light of the gemstone, many years later, is still the same as in the past, as if it reflects the past. Staring at the necklace in his hand, the pretty face that resembled Emiya Shirou showed a nostalgic expression, but the gaze in Archer's eyes was already tinged with sadness.
Yes, how many years has it been?
How many years has it been since we saw so many important faces come together?
How many years has it been since I wandered around the world like a lonely ghost without anything to rely on?
Obviously, everything has passed, but he once again gave himself a chance to start over in life. When everything is the same as in the past, but I am the only one who grows old alone
The old man is still the old man, but he is no longer himself. A qiē go forward!
Maybe at this point, only the bastard who hid in the dojo would feel the same way as himself
As soon as he thought of this, the feeling of being alone disappeared a lot. Archer's eyes rolled, but his mouth had already said softly, "There should have been only one heirloom necklace in the world, but at this moment, two have appeared??" Do you understand what that means?"
Being stared at by Archer's gaze, Rin Tosaka's heart lost his mind, but then his mind turned, but he had already thought of something, but his lips moved slightly a few times, but he didn't say anything after all.
Seeing Rin's reaction like this, she knew that she had already thought of the right way. There is no longer any need to waste time, and Archer slowly says, "The so-called heroic spirit is a general term for people who have made immeasurable achievements in their lives and have been sublimated as heroes after death."
"To put it bluntly, it's just an alien between humans and gods. To reach the realm of God in a non-divine body is to speak of us. Picking up Archer's words, Saber added with his eyes closed.
"That's it. Then, since there are words from the Heroic Spirits of the past," Archer paused, his gaze swept over Hercules next to him, and then continued, "Then there will naturally be Heroic Spirits from the future. ”
The clues and hints are clear, the matter has come to this, and there is no doubt at the moment, Rin Tosaka blurted out dumbly, "You are the future Shirou!!"
As soon as these words came out, they were all overshadowed by everyone else present!
Admittedly, Archer and Emiya Shirou are very similar.
But like and really the future of each other, it's a completely different level of things!
It's better to say that before the future and the present, Archer and Emiya Shirou are not even the same gender!!
"No, it's a bit of a no-no-yes to his and my age, not all. And I don't know his gender, or maybe I'll start from the beginning. Seeing that everyone had generally thought of the direction, but the details seemed to be a sign of a hundred and eight thousand miles, Archer pondered for a moment, thinking about how to explain, and after changing the beginning of several statements, he finally shook his head slightly, smiled bitterly, and decided to start from the beginning, "To put it simply, whether it is me or the idiot who has run to the dojo now, neither of us is the original us. ”
"The original you?"
"Hmm. Don't you think it's weird to see that guy? Why does a young man who is only seventeen years old have a strength and outlook on life that is completely inconsistent with his age? Don't you feel that way sometimes? Compared to the appearance of a teenager, that guy is more like an old man or something. Capable and mature for your own age, haven't you ever felt this way after staying with him for so long?"
Although when speaking, there is no specific object in itself. But at the end, the sigh that has almost become a rhetorical question is directed at Rin Tosaka and Sakura Makiri, who have been friends with Emiya Shirou the longest time here, besides Saber.
The two sisters looked at each other, but they were horrified.
Archer's sigh, which was like a rhetorical question, was a straight answer to the question that they had not been able to solve for many years!
