Chapter 402: The Road of the King
"I ruined the fun at the end of the day."
When he came back to his senses, he found that everyone had returned to the "feast" in the castle.
Rider took another glass of wine, and there was a hint of regret in his tone, "We're done with what we're going to say, let's stop it for tonight." β
Seeing Iskandar get up and leave, Saber quickly stood up, "Wait, Rider! I haven't ...... yet."
"You better stop talking."
Iskandar paused, "Tonight is a feast for kings to talk about, but, Saber, I don't agree with you anymore. β
Swinging his sword to summon his chariot treasure, Iskandar looked at Saber with emotion before leaving.
"I said, girl, it's time to wake up from that terrible dream. Otherwise, one day, you will lose even the most basic glory of being a hero. The dream of the king you are talking about is just that kind of curse. β
"What did you say!"
Although Saber tried to refute, Rider obviously had no intention of continuing to communicate with her, and drove away in the chariot.
The figure of the conquering king on the chariot galloping in the night sky is even more majestic.
"You don't have to listen to him, Saber."
Archer, who had been silent, spoke suddenly, but it was a surprisingly agreeing word.
"You're right, go the right way for yourself. Burdened with the royal road that ordinary people can hardly bear, the distress and the entanglement that struggle in pain. It's a great pastime. β
At this time. Gilgamesh's bad character was revealed again.
No doubt. For him, there is absolutely no so-called "comfort" and "recognition", and all his emotions are just recreation.
Rejoicing in the pain of others, Saber regretted the recognition of him that had just risen in that moment.
"Come on, little Nizi named "Knight King". Maybe you'll be further favored by this king in the future. β
In the midst of his haughty laughter, Gilgamesh also gradually disappeared from his figure.
It was originally a lively banquet for kings. In the end, the two kings left freely, but they left an unrecognized king alone, alone troubled and entangled.
Saber stood in place in the moonlight, not moving. It's like reminiscing about what Iskandar said, or rather, reminiscing about what he once experienced.
βSaberβ¦β¦β
Vaguely sensing how much Saber had been devastated by Iskandar's performance just now, Ellie Sophie walked up to her, but didn't know how to comfort her.
Since he is the king. After all, comforting words are just poison to hurt their self-esteem, right?
"I remember."
Saber seemed extremely calm at this time, and there was a hint of loss in his tone.
There was a knight who left the words "King Arthur did not understand the human heart". Leaving the Carmellot Palace. Maybe...... That was also the sentiment shared by the knights gathered at the round table. β
In the cool night, Saber looked at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and his heart was full of thoughts.
Is the path of the king she chooses the ideal hometown that only exists in her dreams, or is it the right one that belongs to her?
If her wish is wrong, then who can tell her what her wish really is?
She doesn't understand.
Therefore, she can only continue to follow her own ideas and cannot turn back.
"Isn't it? Saber was denied the identity of the king? This brain hole is too big! β
"Will it?"
Mo Yu looked at Zhang Heng, who was making a fuss, but he seemed very calm.
"Hey, hey, Saber is the Knight King! And from the moment she appeared, she showed her bearing as a king, and even her wishes were completely promised by the country, how could such a king be denied! β
"Do you think this is really the king?"
Mo Yu clearly knew that he, who had studied the kingship theory with the teacher for a period of time, was definitely not within the scope of their approval for a "king" like Saber.
"That's just a standard knight. Obeying the code of chivalry, bound by the beautiful ideals of martyrdom, dedicated to the people, bound by morality, without ego, without desire. How can such a person be called a "king"? β
Zhang Heng looked at him like a monster: "Hey, hey, don't tell me that you have the same idea as that Rider?" Your small body is too big to be the king of conquest! β
Hearing him say this, Mo Yu's face immediately puffed up.
That's right, in FZ, his favorite, and even one might even say, worship is the conquering king Iskandar.
But what do you mean by his appearance!
"Well, well, well, don't be angry. Okay, I'll admit it's nice to conquer the king, but I still like Saber the most, and it's absolutely fine for me to honor her as king! You can't say she's not a king! β
Mo Yu sighed helplessly: "I didn't say that she wasn't the king." It's just that she, the "king", is a little too idealistic. β
"Huh? Idealization? β
Didn't the conquering king say, Saber was just bound by the ideals of this idol called "king". It is true that a king who is dedicated to the people is what the people expect. But the king is not a slave to the people. β
"Let's give you an example. Throughout our Chinese history, tyrants and faint kings are also endless, but there are very few emperors who can be called "benevolent kings", and the image of King Arthur and "benevolent kings" is also somewhat similar, isn't it? β
Zhang Heng nodded, he also knew that Mo Yu had studied the emperor, and what he said in this regard was not wrong.
"However, there is a clear difference between him and Nioh." The ultimate reason for the series of "ignorance of people's hearts" and "martyrdom" is that Saber is too self-centered. She only walks on the path that she thinks is good for the country, does not listen to advice, and does not observe the feelings of the people. Blindly moving forward, he has established an image like a radiant saint, or "god". β
Such a person has gone beyond the level of a "king" and has risen to the level of "faith". People will have faith, but they will not follow him. Because the two are at different levels. β
Looking at his incomprehensible expression, Mo Yu paused.
Let's put it this way, a country has an ordinary king, but at the same time it has some beliefs similar to those of Western Catholic Christianity. When there was war, did the people obey the king's commands, or did they follow in the footsteps of the "gods" who were so far away from them? β
"Uh...... Probably the king, right? β
"That's right. The path of kings, as Iskandar said, will not be lonely, because the king must be close to the people and make the people feel that the king is with them. That's why the people will follow in the footsteps of the king and never rebel. But if the king rises to the level of an idol, he can only watch from afar, but not up close. That's just one title. β
"Well, well, I see, I see......"
Looking at his sudden realization, Mo Yu also felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart. In this day and age, it is very rare to have the opportunity for him to spread the teacher's "imperial studies", but if he can understand the meaning of the word "king", it will not be in vain that he has talked so much.
"I don't understand at all! But thank you, I'll go to work first. β
Seeing him run out of the smoke, Mo Yu sat in his seat and stared dryly. After talking so much about feelings, he was all blind, wasting his saliva!
"Ah, yes."
Suddenly, another head popped up at the door.
"What's the matter, say!"
"Well, where did you suddenly get so angry?"
Faced with his unangry answer, Zhang Heng was the second monk who was puzzled.
"Well, forget it. I'm here to tell you.,It's not my original purpose to come and watch anime with you just now.,I'm here to help people talk to you.γ β
"Talking? Who? β
"Yunliu."
"Poof......
I just took a sip of water to relieve the anger brought up by this guy, but unfortunately I ruined the computer display in front of me again.
"What's the matter with that guy?"
Seeing Mo Yu's strange reaction, Zhang Heng was also a little speechless. What is the relationship between these two general managers of the two companies who are rumored to be rivals in the outside world?
Every time Mao mentions Yunliu, Mo Yu will overreact?
"Ah, I don't really understand, it was his aunt, that is, Yun Qingyi called, saying that Yun Liu asked you to report to him. Anyway, why is he so arrogant, he actually asked you to report to him...... Uh, no, you're really going? β
Zhang Heng was only halfway through his words, but he found that Mo Yu's face was a little wrong, isn't it, does this guy have any tricks in the hands of others?
"When?"
The words that were almost squeezed out of his teeth were enough to show that Mo Yu was in a bad mood at this time.
"Huh?"
"I asked you, and he said he didn't say the time!"
"Ah...... That, that, it seems to be ......"
"What do you say! I didn't hear clearly, say it again! β
"Yes...... It was yesterday......"
"......" (To be continued......)
