"What's wrong? Do you feel unaccustomed to it? ”

Under the blue sky in the early morning, in the quiet and quiet forest, Xia Ran, who was walking in front with great interest, stopped, looked behind him, and asked.

Although it was an inquiring tone, he seemed to be quite determined.

"Yes, there is a point, Master, it feels like the time when the sword in the stone was broken, I always feel like my heart is empty, something is not right......"

Artoria hesitated slightly, but said honestly. The girl was obviously empty-handed and lightly armed, but she seemed to be very awkward, as if she was uncomfortable.

The main reason is, of course, because of the loss of the sword of victory of the oath -

Although in order to preserve history, she also knew that this was necessary, and the holy sword must be returned to the fairy of the lake. Although she was very reluctant, she also saw it very thoroughly, and she didn't feel that the holy sword had to be kept in her hands.

It is indeed time to return things to their rightful owners, which is something that cannot be helped.

However, there is no way to solve the problem of habit all at once. Just as the formation of a habit is based on the accumulation of time, the change of a habit also takes time to adapt.

Although she doesn't always carry the sword with her, she uses the storage space allocated to her by Xia Ran to conveniently put things that she can't use for the time being in it, anyway, it's a matter of thought, and she can switch it out immediately.

In this way, you don't have to keep everything at hand or carry it with you, I don't know how convenient it is.

But whether there is any, and whether there is a belt or not, these are two concepts at all. It's like going out to drive or not, there is actually no problem, after all, you know that you actually have a car, but if the car is suddenly stolen one day, this is not a choice to go out and drive or not......

Probably because of this reason, Artoria felt a little empty in her heart.

- After all, it was the Holy Sword that had been with her for a long time, and it was returned like this, and it was very likely that it would never come back again, so how could it not make her feel lost?

I always feel uncomfortable, even if my hands are empty, I still have an awkward feeling, as if I am out of place with the familiar state before.

"This is indeed a problem, but who made you not a real Heroic Spirit or a Servant, the treasures are all real goods with physical objects, not replicas of fantasy......" Xia Ran shook his head with some amusement.

He pondered for a moment: "Actually, it's not a big problem, if you really can't rest assured, we can go to the fairy in the lake and get the sword back later......"

"Forget it, it wasn't mine after all, and it really shouldn't always belong to me, Master......"

Artoria replied with a strange expression.

"Who said it wasn't yours, the fairy in the lake was just a custodian, the moment that sword was forged inside the planet, it was for you, I haven't heard of it having any other owner......"

Xia Ran waved his hand casually.

"But it's up to you to decide, anyway, we have a lot of time, and we can go and get it back before we leave...... Or I'll have no problem rebuilding a holy sword for you, and I'm sure there won't be any difference in performance. ”

"This ......" Artoria thought for a moment, and finally shook her head, she looked at the scenery around her, and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, Master, what are you going to do here?" Planning to walk every inch of Britain? ”

"Yes...... "The magician admits calmly, "the island still has the air and mystery of the gods, although this is the characteristic of the peninsula and the island, and the farther away from the mainland, the more isolated it is from the mainland, the more the land is prone to mystery." ”

"But now it's the fifth century A.D., and the air of Britain is still a remnant of the gods, which is a bit excessive. Mystically speaking, it is like the navel of the planet, the equivalent of the zone of the heart. ”

"So whatever you may say, my magic workshop, or your Tower of Light, must be located on this island. It is the last vestige of the Age of Mythology, and the fulcrum that can turn the world upside down. ”

Hearing him say this, the girl's emerald green eyes showed a trace of entanglement.

She naturally knew about this kind of thing, but she still felt that something was wrong, and the Holy Spear Lengominiade should have been used to prevent this kind of thing from happening, and it was used to fix the spiritual costume of the human era.

Why is it suddenly reversed now, and it has become an important pillar that promotes this matter, and even becomes an important pillar in this matter, and in turn it becomes a pillar that nails the gods so that it does not end...... This one is weird.

But it also feels a little awkward, and what to do or how to do it.

She had wanted to find the Holy Grail and use miracles to maintain the mystery, and now it was the same for the Holy Grail to the Holy Spear. And according to Xia Ran, the next thing is to burn people, and there is a collapse point that will be driven into this historical node.

She has two choices, one is to follow the advice given by Xia Ran and take this opportunity to reshape the glory of Camelot;

The second option is to fight against the collapse of history, pick up the holy spear and nail the next era of mankind, and prevent the burning of human reason.

But the second option is actually not realistic at all -

Even if she is willing to give up her wish for the so-called righteousness, she once again bears a responsibility that does not belong to her, and even completely obliterates herself for a long time, and is changed by the characteristics of the Holy Lance to become an existence with divine values.

However, this so-called righteous act is actually useless, and can only slightly block the collapse point that occurs in this era, like covering your ears and stealing the bell.

If Gaetia found that it was impossible to burn human reason in this era, then it was necessary to avoid this era, and in the long human reason, there were actually far more than seven turning points in history, and it could have chosen other turning points again and put the collapse point into history.

It simply has more options, anyway, as long as it has enough calorie share for three thousand years, Artoria can't change anything.

Choosing this option is actually a toss, and then earning a sum of points and karma crystals, and you will go back directly. People should still be burned, at most, she influenced the era in which she lived, so that this short history was not eroded.

— that's all.

If after this, the unprecedented cause of human burning is not stopped, then this record will eventually be wiped out and replaced by the Demon God King's act of re-evolving the celestial body of the earth and rewriting the Book of Genesis.

However, the changes made by Artoria are really likely to make the Chaldea and others' human restoration cause fail, after all, any change cannot be said to be only good and not harmful, right?

For example, if the sixth anomaly was no longer related to Camelot, but was replaced by a more hostile copy, perhaps the Chaldeans would have died there?

This is a very possible thing.

Of course, there is another option, which is to do nothing and do nothing, which is not unavoidable. It's just that this is probably the worst, not only giving up the obsession I've always had, but also not doing anything else......

In the end, King Arthur chose to follow the advice of his master, taking the opportunity to fulfill his wish and continue the glory of Camelot.

At the same time, you can also control the peculiarities that are about to appear in the hands of yourself and others, completely grasp the initiative, and wait until the critical moment to send a wonderful assist in the cause of human restoration.

After all, according to Xia Ran, the way to get the best of both worlds also exists, and she chooses to believe in her master.

"It looks good there......"

The magician walked out of the forest, and the trees in front of him parted to reveal an open view, and his eyes lit up as he looked at the towering mountain in the distance—

"How about building a tower on it? Then you look at the plain over there, and you can build a city that will be the heart of Camelot's new royal city, the heart of the new kingdom, and your subjects will be able to see the Tower of Radiance. ”

"Is it there? From a military point of view, it is not a suitable choice as a capital...... "Artoria made a discernment, and saw that the empty plain was open, and in the distance there was a rushing white river winding.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and subconsciously commented, but before Xia Ran could say anything, she reacted by herself:

"But this is for secular warfare, and if it's magic, it's not a big deal."

It's like ordinary people can't threaten the magic workshop at all, no matter where the magician's position is set.

But if they can threaten the enemies of the magic workshop themselves, such as other hostile magicians, servants or Dead Apostles, then even if it is a hanging garden floating in the clouds, they can invade, hit it or blast it down.

In contrast, influencing factors such as topography and geography can indeed be ignored.

If ordinary secular wars and other conflicts can threaten the cause they are about to establish, then whether it is Artoria or Xia Ran, they can directly find a piece of tofu and kill their heads.

If it can threaten the tower and the holy city that is to be built in the future, it must be a great danger to transcend the earthly plane and override the human race, in which case geography is an unnecessary consideration.

"Since there is no opinion, then let's decide."

Xia Ran blinked: "From now on, I am responsible for designing and building the magic workshop, and it is not difficult to make it into a mage tower in form, and the tall and upright structure itself is also easier to gather mana......"

"So what am I going to do, Master?" Artoria asked.

"Gather your subjects, gather the people of the land again, give them protection and food, let them cultivate and work, and as long as they can live and work in peace, society will be able to function again......"

Xia Ran replied without thinking about it-

"The Battle of the Sword Fence has just passed, and your subjects must have regretted and feared it by now, and the barbarian invasion will continue in the future, and it is the time when you are needed...... But remember not to use your previous identity. ”

Because King Arthur is dead.

This is something that happened not so long ago.

And at this time, there were some of her acquaintances still alive, such as Bedwell, such as Lancelot......
