Chapter 55: Dialogue

Wren's words gave Artoria a thoughtful look, and it wasn't that she couldn't accept other people's opinions.

It's just that she has so far firmly believed that her concept of "kings are not human" is not wrong, but the demise of Britain has always been a deep scar, which inevitably makes her have some wavering and doubts.

"So, Caster, do you think the king is not alone?"

Saber looked at Wuming, and she certainly wouldn't easily deny her philosophy.

Wren shook his head and closed his laptop:

"I didn't say that, there are many lonely kings in history, and they didn't choose to blend in with the crowd."

"And what do you mean by those words?" The Dumb Hair King was stunned and asked with a frown.

"Lonely kings, or lonely kings, are actually very common, and no one stipulates that kings should mingle with the people or courtiers, but that doesn't mean they don't understand people's hearts.

Whether it is a tyrant or a virtuous king, the Emperor's Mind is a basic skill.

can figure out the thoughts of the courtiers, be able to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and properly handle the various interests of the country in order to give full play to the royal road. ”

Wren recounted as he began to clean up the leftovers on the table, and Saber offered to help when he saw this.

The two of them walked towards the kitchen together with the dishes, chopsticks and plates, and when they arrived, Wren began to wash the dishes, while Saber frowned and stood by in deep thought.

"Knight King, I want to know, have you tried to put yourself in other people's shoes and figure out what others are thinking?

Like Lancelot, Tristan, Guinevere, and even Mordred, what are they thinking? ”

Wren put the cleaned plates one by one and said unhurriedly.

It's quite interesting to say, including the bear child Xiao Mo, the Knights of the Round Table are actually the king's chefs.

But in the end, many people still parted ways with the Dull Mao King, or even became enemies, but it wasn't that they had opinions about her.

It's just that some people don't agree with her philosophy, or some people don't want her to continue like this, and even hope that she can give up and make herself better.

Saber looked a little dazed, and after a moment, she said in a low tone:

"The right idea, the right rule...... Coupled with the fact that the king himself dedicates everything to the country, this is the way to govern the country, I ...... I think so. ”

"However, the Knight King, you must know that humans are strange creatures, and it is not your actions and ideas that can guide them."

"What do you say? The right idea, the right way...... Why can't the people be led ?! Saber looked stunned and asked, "Since everything is correct!" Isn't it true that a country should be stable and prosperous for a long time? ”

Wren shook his head slightly, did not answer for the time being, and after washing the dishes, he took off his apron.

He greeted Saber, and the two servants walked together onto the balcony of the castle.

Call~

The night wind blew the hair of the two of them with a little coolness, and everything was silent, only the bright moonlight poured down, dyeing everything with a layer of silver glow.

Wren looked up at the starry sky, smiled, and said:

"Knight King, you overestimate the good or positive part of people, and you underestimate the ugly or dark part of human nature.

There is no difference between the two in essence.

Human beings are the kind of people who know that one thing or some things are wrong, but because of interests, grievances, beliefs, and viciousness...... There is still the existence of repeating mistakes. ”

Saber frowned, instinctively trying to retort, but Wren stopped her by raising his hand, projecting two chairs and inviting her to sit down.

Crossing Erlang's legs, Wren narrated in an indifferent tone:

"In this day and age, a lot of ideas are so correct that you can't fault them, but a lot of things are still a mess.

People know the importance of peace, but this does not prevent arms companies and capitalists from fanning the flames and provoking wars in order to sell guns and ammunition.

People know that everyone is equal, but that doesn't stop everyone from discriminating against each other. Rich and poor in society cause discrimination, skin color causes discrimination, and sex causes discrimination......

People know to take care of the environment, but that doesn't stop me from discarding the bins when I think they're too far away. We also want to protect wild animals, but isn't the meat fragrant?

Human beings are the kind of beings who know what is right, but when they actually choose, they don't mind always 'making mistakes'.

From ancient times to the present, it is not good and evil that guides and drives people, but desire! Then the winners write history, and the difference between them and the losers is that they win and lead more people. ”

Saber's eyes widened slowly, and he looked at Wren with a little anger, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Wren didn't care about her anger and asked:

"In addition to you, there are two kings in this Holy Grail War, the conqueror king Iskandar and the hero king Gilgamesh, are they tyrants from your point of view?"

"Of course!" Saber said unceremoniously.

"I also think they belong to tyrants, and it is undeniable that they are all kings praised by the world, and they are equally great.

And what about tyrants? They are also recognized and worshipped by the world, and their deeds are still circulating today, which is fascinating. ”

Saber's lips moved slightly, but she didn't refute, but her expression was a little lonely, even if she didn't agree with their ideas, she couldn't deny that they were all famous kings.

"Take the King of Conquest Iskandar, for example, who was the lord of the hegemonic army, invaded everywhere, provoked wars, and caused countless lives to be lost.

But more and more people are following in the footsteps of his victory.

What about plundering, what about trampling, following him, money and beauty, power and territory...... can be pocketed.

None of these acts have any justice at all, but they are equally attractive to people, and in the end, they can leave a name in history and make countless heroes and heroes fascinated by ......"

The corners of Wren's mouth rose and he slowly narrated.

One morning a few days ago, he met the Emperor in a bookstore, and the other party said that he would recruit him, and the treatment was to make him vice president of the United States in the future and conquer the world together.

Didn't the Emperor know how many casualties the conquest of the world would cause? But he still had no intention of giving up.

To put it mildly, if the FΓΌhrer had won World War II, he would have been the supreme king of the world, and I am afraid that he would have been praised in the history books.

This is a "great achievement" of unifying the whole world.

As for how cruel the methods were, and how much evil he did and how much blood he stained, what was he in front of this unique cause?

"Saber, you should understand that those you don't like can also make a difference with what you think is wrong, and who can deny the greatness of the Macedonian Empire?"

Saber couldn't help but stand up, looking at the sky a little distracted: "I can't do it...... Go be a tyrant. ”

Didn't she not think that if she trampled on Britain with domineering, would she be able to lead to a better ending in the end?

"Knight King, I didn't say that you should be a tyrant, and I don't think there is anything wrong with your royal way, I just want to remind you.

Don't ignore the complexity of the human heart and the two-sided nature of desire.

There is no difference between being too lofty and idealistic and being too brutal and cold-blooded, and people will end up unbearable. ”

Master Wren jumped on the wall, his hands on his chest, standing in the cold wind, the wind blowing his gray hair.

He looked down at the Dull Fur King, and his voice fluttered:

"Girl, tell you something.

The real rulers can't make people's lives too miserable and hopeless, and if they can't live, they will rebel.

Of course, they can't be too comfortable and too happy.

It's the kind of people who live harder, but they can persevere, and they still have a little hope for the future.

It's the best state to be.

On the surface, the idea of guiding the people with relatively correct but somewhat compromising ideas, and secretly, suppressing dissent with absolute violence, so that the rule can be more durable.

And no matter what way, you have to understand the human heart, that is, what people think. Not only the positives of beauty, goodness and justice need to be eulogized loudly, but also the negative aspects of greed, evil, and darkness must also be taken care of secretly.

Don't ignore the latter, it has a lot of weight in people's hearts.

Of course, I'm not a king, I'm just talking on paper, don't take it to heart, it's just a humble opinion. ”

Saber's body shuddered and he gritted his teeth and was silent for a moment.

Then she slowly raised her head, and the pair of green eyes stared at him deadly, and she said word by word:

"You guy, you really annoy!"

"I think so too, you guy, it's really awkward!"

Wren stared at her as well, his gaze deep.

Saber's beautiful eyes burned with anger, and she was very angry at Wren's words, and she wanted to cut him with a sword.

But in the bottom of my heart, I have to admit that he is not completely talking nonsense.

She had never considered before, in her opinion, that "wrong" or "not so correct" ideas could actually unite people and dictate people, which is why tyrants can do their job.

But she didn't want to accept those views.

Saber and Wren looked at each other, the two sides did not give in to each other, the atmosphere was even a little tense, and the contradictions of ideas or values made them unable to recognize each other.

It's not something that can be solved with a single meal.

Wren is not the "partner of justice" Emiya, and some of his ideas and arguments are difficult for Artoria to accept.

He's not as extreme and aggressive as he used to be, but he's a realist, and Dumb Hair King is an idealist, and she's actually quite extreme.

"Caster, are you not a hero, you have given up your ideals, and now you have become a villain or a villain?"

The Dumb Hair King had a serious expression and a sharp look in his eyes.

She recognizes and admires "Wuming" who once sacrificed himself to save others.

Therefore, she had an unspeakable anger in her heart for him who chose to give up at this moment, she wanted to ask this question for a long time, but she just chose to press it down before.

"Hero? Villains? I don't know, but it's certainly not a hero. Wren smiled, not at all worried about annoying her.

From the beginning, he didn't plan to attack the dumb Mao King, and she was not his thing, so it was almost the same to be replaced by "gun nerd".

Compared to a girl, she is still more attractive than a royal sister.

Now her emotions are a little out of control, in fact, it also proves that his words have had a great impact on her.

As long as he achieved his goal, he didn't care if he would make her angry.

"Caster, I'd love to fight you." The Dumb Fur King snorted coldly when he heard this.

She didn't want to kill her allies, and after the contract was signed, Wuming gave up making a wish with the Holy Grail and was no longer her enemy.

But she still wanted to use her sword to teach him a lesson.

Wren stood on the wall with his hands in his hands, his red coat rustling in the cold wind, and he said in a clear voice:

"No problem, I'd love to fight you too, but only after I kill Lancer and you're back to your prime."

"I'm so conceited, you don't think I'm your opponent right now?" Artoria was a little unconvinced.

She could feel the strength of the other party, but she would not be afraid.

"I'm sorry, but that's true."

Wren said calmly, and before Saber could say anything, he jumped up from the wall and plunged into the forest.

How can a man give up an entire forest for the sake of a tree.

Therefore, he is going to plague this forest, and in a few days, the area of this forest will be greatly reduced.

"Caster, you wait, I'll teach you a lesson!" Saber watched him disappear and shouted.

"Okay, cute little girl, remember to keep this fighting spirit, otherwise it will be too boring to educate you."

The wind sent Wren's very sloppy words, which made Artoria in the castle tremble with anger, and the fellow said that she was a little girl.

Beat him, you must beat him viciously!

She didn't hate him, and Wuming didn't do anything that made her feel unbearable, but that guy's mouth was too poisonous, and he repeatedly provoked her, which was really inadequate.

Anyway, the two of them have decided to have a competition in the future.

………

An hour later, Emiya Kiritsugu returned, and he came to the room where Kirigoya was located and knocked on the door.

Squeak

The door was opened, and Yan Ye invited him in, then picked up the book of the puppet ministers on the table and handed it to the other party.

After Daddy Kiritsui took it, he didn't leave directly:

"Jian Tong Yanye, you are the master, but you completely give the dominance to your servant, why?"

"No, I left Fuyuki City that day, and after calming down and thinking about it, I realized that if it weren't for Wuming, I would have died, and my death would be worthless."

Yan Ye laughed at himself, of course he knew that Wuming was using him, but that didn't stop him from being grateful to the other party for saving his life, even if the process wasn't pleasant.

"Out of gratitude?" Daddy Kiritsugu lit a cigarette.

Yan Ye sat on the chair and shook his head:

"I'm not a good decision-maker, and when I first started the Holy Grail War, I didn't even know who my enemies were."

He himself thought it was incredible, he didn't realize that the old bug was the root of the problem.

Daddy Kiritsugu asked in a flat tone, "You trust him very much?" ”

"At least make sure he doesn't hurt me, that's enough." Yanye suddenly laughed, looked at Kiritsugu's father and said, "You know, seeing you, I am sure of one thing. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" Daddy Kiritsugu asked.

"Wuming is right, you guys are all monsters, and I, an ordinary person, want to compete with you for the Holy Grail, and I can't help myself."

Father Kiritsui shook his cigarette when he heard this, and was silent.

Jian Tong Yanye picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip, and continued with a smile:

"If someone else had invited me, I would have refused to come back and continue the Holy Grail War, and even if I had come soon, I would have regretted it.

Like Wuming said, from the beginning, I shouldn't have been involved in this matter. ”

"But now that you're here, you're so confident in him?" Daddy Kiritsugu put down his cigarette and looked at him.

"You'll find out tomorrow night." Yan Ye drank a glass of red wine and said in a flat tone, "No need to tempt, although there is no such thing as his deeds in this world, he ...... It's scary. ”

"Thank you for the reminder."

Daddy Kiritsugu glanced at Yanye and walked out of the room.
