Chapter 443: The Dream of Being a Mortal
Webb took Rider to the city library early in the morning, then tossed him aside and searched for the materials on his own.
"The king handed over all the control and interests of the land he occupied to the local noble clans, but he himself led the army to continue the eastward crusade."
Seeing this account, Webb was stunned for a moment.
It was the same thing he had seen in his dreams!
Did that guy just want to reach the sea at the end of the world, just to go on an expedition to reach Okeanos?
When he realized that the man who was his heroic spirit was such a great dreamer, Webber felt an incomprehensible anguish in his heart.
Compared to him, the real king, he is just the son of an unpopular magic family, and he has no outstanding magic talent and talent, so there is nothing that can match him.
Such a self has become the master of that heroic character, what is this ......
"Hey, boy, where are you?"
The sudden shouting in the library startled him, but what made him even more flustered was the owner of the voice.
As soon as I closed the book, a person already appeared on the bookshelf next to me.
"Oh, found it, found it. It's so short that I can't see it when I stand between the bookshelves, so it's really easy for me to find. ”
For his kind of remarks that had no common sense at all, but were just self-centered, Weber still suppressed the emotions that had just been stirring in his heart and looked at him coldly.
"Ordinary humans are shorter than bookshelves, stupid."
Webb was a little confused about where he had just gone, but when he learned that Rider had just disappeared, he went shopping. And it was also when I bought a game console and wanted to play a game called "Grand Strategy" or something. Completely speechless.
Does this guy even know that they're in that situation?
It's a battle that even costs your life. And also to be able to harvest a ritual that can fulfill a wish that can achieve anything, for which they can give up everything!
With this kind of game mentality, how can you win?
Is this conquering king in front of him really the domineering invincible king in history? It doesn't look like it!
"I'm not interested in this kind of low-level entertainment."
After the invitation to play games together was rejected, Iskandar was also full of depression, in his opinion, Weber's performance was more like an awkward child, with no energy and adult heart at all. It was a pity for him.
"Well, why do you always like to immerse yourself in your own narrow little world? Don't you want to find something fun? ”
"It's verbose! Instead of wasting energy in useless places, it is better to concentrate on searching for the truth......"
"So, that's what interests you...... This book? ”
Iskandar pulled out the book he had just read and put back.
"Hey, isn't this my biography?"
Seeing that he found himself looking up information about him, and that all the big truths he had said before had turned into useless prevarications, Webber's face couldn't help but start to redden, and he looked like a child who had been caught in the handle.
Iskandar didn't notice his delicate psychological changes at all, and looked at him in puzzlement.
"How strange you are, I myself stand in front of you. Is there anything I can't just ask? ”
Annoyed and angry, Webb snatched the book from his hand and shouted menacingly, "Okay." I'm asking you, it's okay to ask you, right? ”
Although he questioned the vague things he had noticed by reading the records before, Weber found that the history books were not purely true.
But he was even more surprised by the fact that Iskandar in front of him was laughing without the slightest displeasure in this erroneous account.
"Aren't you angry when people write like this?"
"Huh? I don't really care, isn't it? ”
Weber felt even more incomprehensible: "No matter what era the people in power, they all strive to make their name in history, right?" ”
Hearing his remarks, Iskandar thought for a moment: "Well...... If you can write your name into the history books, it can be regarded as immortal in a sense. If I could live my name in the book for 2,000 years, even if I could give it one percent, I could use it to prolong my life. ”
"The rumors of his untimely death in his early thirties......"
"Well, that's true."
After being confirmed, Webb felt that he could not see through this person even more.
It was nearly dusk, above the Grand Canal in Fuyuki City, Ryunosuke Yuyu looked at Caster standing on the water below on the bridge, his face full of excitement.
"Sir! I'll ask you to have a spit that will surprise the gods, sir!! ”
Caster responded equally happily, "Stay tuned, Ryunosuke. Come and enjoy this most ~~ cool show! ”
"Really? I'm going to look forward to it! ”
Seeing that he was looking forward to it so much, Caster was satisfied to open the magic book treasure in his hand, the Luoyan City Textbook, and began the craziest summoning performance.
At this time, Webb and his party, who were about to go home on the side of the road, were in addition to unexpected contradictions.
However, it is a contradiction, and Weber is just making an awkward mess.
"Why don't you speak?"
"It's nothing, I just think you're boring."
"What, are you still bored? Then don't make a fuss and play the game. ”
"Not really!"
Webber was even more annoyed by his arrogant attitude, "Like you, it's a matter of course to win, even if you capture the Holy Grail for me, I won't have the slightest sense of accomplishment." It didn't make sense to make a contract with the Assassin in the first place. ”
Rider thought about it for a moment, "That's too messy, I guess you'd have died a long time ago." ”
"Die or die!"
Webber was outraged, "If I could fight to the death for myself, I would have no complaints!" It is because of this idea that I participated in the Holy Grail War! But ......"
"Even if you say that, it's useless."
Rider was also a little distressed by his thoughts, "If the wish you put on the Holy Grail can fascinate me, then even if I conquer the king, I will not hesitate to go to the trouble for you!" It's a pity that your long-cherished wish is just to grow taller. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, okay!"
"Don't worry."
Iskandar patted him on the head, and his tone rarely softened.
"Anyway, this war shouldn't be the biggest stage in your life."
"What did you say!?"
Webber opened his hand, and his words seemed to negate his determination to bet everything on this war. Obviously, he gave up everything, just for the sake of victory in this war!
But in the end, he didn't have to put in the effort, just because he got such a powerful Servant to win or something, it was pointless!
"One day, you will find a path in life that you will truly be proud of and proud of. At that point, you will fight for yourself, whether you want it or not. It's not too late for you to look for your own battlefield. ”
"I'm not the only one who is dissatisfied with this contract, right?"
Webb instinctively felt disgusted by his long preaching, as if he had been counted out by those who claimed to be honorable when he was in the magic academy!
"Shouldn't you be dissatisfied? Someone like me became a Master or something, and if I had contracted with other Masters at the beginning, I would have won a hundred times easier, right? ”
"Hmm...... Maybe. ”
Although it was true, when he heard him admit that he said it, Weber felt even more unhappy!
But Iskandar saw the crux of his mind at this time, took out a book from the backpack behind him, and turned to the page of the world map.
"Hey, boy, you might as well try to draw the two of us next to this enemy, and remember to draw me and you in the same row for comparison."
"It's too ......"
It is inherently impossible to draw the existence of two "people" on the world map mountain, let alone compare the appearance of the same row accurately.
"Can't do it, can it?"
"In the face of the strong enemy in front of you, whether it is you or me, it is just a very small "point". What's the point of comparing us with our stature? ”
"But that's why I'm excited! Incomparably weak, incomparably small? That's exactly what I want! My ambition is to rise above the world with a body smaller than a grain of sand! This roar in my chest is the heartbeat of my conquering king! (To be continued......)
