Chapter 243: King Arthur's Tutoring
At this dinner, Artoria ate with a satisfied face.
Shen He seemed to see the sign of +1 opinion constantly appearing on the top of her head.
Sure enough, you just need to feed.
Until the end of the dinner, when Shen He took her to her room, he packed a lot of food by the way.
If it weren't for the Heroic Spirit, he would definitely be fat and a pig if he was so greedy.
"Anyway, thank you for your hospitality tonight."
Artoria stood in the doorway, holding Shen He's palm with a grateful face.
It's been a long time since she's had a full meal like this.
"This will be your own home from now on, what is there to thank for." Shen He smiled, "You don't have to be restrained here, we will take you to this world tomorrow to have a good time." ”
"The Lord is such a good man." Artoria sighed, "It is my honor to serve a master like you. ”
"Uh." Shen He was stunned, smiled, and didn't say anything more.
Now in the white dumb hair, who has not even experienced the four battles, there is still a rigor and rigidity that belongs to the knight king.
Take your time.
But...... The four battles that were taking place in the Moon World were indeed a bit of a headache for him.
Originally, according to Shen He's thoughts, he rushed over, grabbed Lori and ran.
But Artoria is still obsessed with the Holy Grail.
When Shen He returned to his room and lay on the bed, his eyes were still open, thinking about how to make proper arrangements in his mind.
"What are you worried about?"
Joan of Arc on the side squeezed over, and her smiling face could be clearly seen in the soft light.
"Thinking about Artoria."
Shen He thought about it for a while, and simply told her about the Dull Mao King.
"That is." Joan of Arc fumbled to hold Shen He's palm, "Because Artoria was able to free herself from self-denial and remorse in her original destiny and accept her failure as king, the Lord also hopes that she can get the same salvation from us, right?" ”
"yes, that's it." Shen He was a little surprised.
Because Joan of Arc summed up his mind completely.
Artoria's fate began to truncate from him.
If Emiya Shirou could do what he couldn't, it would undoubtedly make him feel uncomfortable.
Joan of Arc leaned on top of him, smiled like this, lowered his head and looked at Shen He and asked:
"What does the Imperial Master think about my current life compared to the fate you know?"
"It's definitely better." Shen He replied without thinking, "It's countless times better." ”
"That's it."
Joan of Arc lowered her head and buried her little head beside Shen He's neck, and the sound came into her ears with the sound of exhalation.
"The Imperial Master has that confidence, Artoria...... She does have a lot of similarities with me, so I can understand how she feels, and it's hard to accept defeat when she abandons everything to chase her goals, but it's enough for the Master to let her slowly understand your feelings......"
"If only there was more time." Shen He was a little helpless, "Of course I want to take my time." ”
But now, the fourth war is imminent.
Shen He is not a guard Shirou, and it is impossible for him to be a guard Shirou, so it is difficult to say that in such a short period of time, Artoria can feel the emotions of being a human being, rather than the persistence of being a king now.
"Then, use the Master's own methods to help her." Joan of Arc said suddenly.
"My method?"
"Yes, forget the fate you know, use your methods to bring her a new destiny, no matter what that destiny is, we will accompany her ......"
Joan of Arc's voice became softer and softer, as if a person was humming a ballad in his ear, but it flowed all the way to Shen He's heart.
Shen He realized that he was indeed a little obsessed with Artoria's original fate.
Why do you have to compare Emiya Shirou, why can't you do better than him.
The thoughts in my mind gradually became clearer.
Shen He couldn't help but sigh, if he was alone, his mind would be more likely to fall into stubbornness, and if there were people around him, he would be more open.
Sleep, sleep.
The next day, Shen He fulfilled his promise.
Take Artoria, Joan of Arc, and Violet to the busy city streets and experience the modern city.
"Although I got the modern just from the contract, I really didn't think ......"
Artoria was wearing a full-length women's suit, but she was holding a child's ice cream in her hand, and she looked around with a novel expression.
Such a gesture should have attracted the attention of everyone.
But under the effect of magic, a few people were able to wander around like ordinary people.
"Didn't Artoria go shopping much before?" Joan of Arc held hands with her like a best friend.
Shen He, on the other hand, took Violet's little hand and followed them, a short distance apart.
"Yes." Artoria nodded, "Before I became king, I had been educated by kings, riding horses at most, patrolling the city, and after becoming king...... Time is also tight. ”
"That's too cruel." Joan of Arc glared, as if a little indignant, "To do this to a girl." ”
"I don't think there's anything wrong with that." Artoria licked the ice cream, and also missed her previous life a little, "Those days were the most fulfilling time I have ever had. ”
Although it was hard, I could feel my growth every day, and I was very spiritually fulfilling.
"As for me, until I was sixteen, I lived the life of an ordinary country girl." Joan of Arc snapped her fingers, "Every day I do farm work, take care of my younger siblings, and sometimes roll on the straw pile, if it weren't for the British...... Ah, I'm not blaming your country. ”
"I know." Artoria's voice was slightly low, "Even when I was in power, I did things to invade other countries for the sake of my own country. ”
"Is this what you have received, the king's education?" Joan of Arc asked.
"Hmm." Artoria replied softly.
"I don't think that's right." Joan of Arc's tone was casual, as if it was just an ordinary chat, "When I was on the battlefield, even if it was a hostile soldier, there were many people who didn't want to fight, they were no different from us, they all had parents and families, and they were attached to life, so ...... What exactly do humans want to hurt each other? ”
Artoria licked the ice cream silently.
She thought about the final destruction of her kingdom, and until the last moment, she didn't understand why those soldiers would rebel against her.
"Perhaps, it's because of profit." She thought of Mordred's final question.
"That's right, interests." Joan of Arc nodded, "But, it can also be said that the human heart, whether it is desire, emotion, joy, or pain, they are all part of the human heart, so I have been thinking, Wang, you can't not understand the human heart." ”
"......" Artoria suddenly stopped.
Joan of Arc's words were different from her education, her vows.
She believed that a king could not rule under human emotion.
"I'm just complaining as a country girl." Joan of Arc stuck out her tongue a little embarrassed, "A commoner like me would have thought that it would be nice if the king on high could know people's hearts. ”
"Is it ...... human heart" Artoria was a little dazed.
"Okay, okay, I know there's a cat café here, let's go together." Zhen dragged Artoria forward, not forgetting to wave to Shen He behind her.
Although at a distance.
But with Shen He's hearing, he can actually hear their conversation clearly.
When Jeanne d'Arc first heard that the British were coming in, he was startled.
Look at Artoria's appearance, though.
Joan of Arc's words, a saint who is respected by the people, still have some effect.
Will the king know the hearts of the people?
I have to say that the British people of that era were a bit low-end to Wang's education, and even thought that Wang needed to be iron-faced and selfless.
Perhaps Artoria should be given a look at Huaxia's imperial mind.
Well, there's a bookstore right in front of it.
When Shen He came to the café, he was carrying a thick bag of books in his hand and piled them up in front of Artoria.
"This is my gift to you."
"Gifts?"
Artoria's eyes lit up at first, and then she was a little disappointed when she found out that it wasn't a food magazine.
But the perfect cultivation still made her solemnly put it away and apologized to Shen He.
"I thought about it yesterday and how to save your country." Shen He put on a look of talking about business.
"......" Artoria blinked.
"As I said, in those days, no one could do better than you, but you still failed, that is, the only way is to make yourself better." Shen He patted these books, "These books gather thousands of years, the history of countries around the world, I believe that after you read it, you should have a sufficient understanding of how to be a good king, and then-we will go to grab the Holy Grail, so that you can return to the moment when you have not drawn the sword in the stone." ”
"I see......" Artoria looked at the pile of books, and suddenly a little hot.
All she had been thinking about was erasing the history of her becoming king through the Holy Grail, and she never thought about what the kingdom would be like after that.
Shen He was right.
It is true that she has failed, but if she wants to go back in time and change everything, she must at least understand the reasons for her failure.
"If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me." Only then did Shen He smile, "If I don't understand, then I will invite the best teacher of this era for you, so come on." ”
"Don't worry, Master."
Artoria felt like she was back in her childhood, studying hard.
Even directly in the bookstore, I opened the first book and read it.
She naturally knows English, and although she knows ancient English, she can quickly learn how to use modern English.
Shen He looked at her and suddenly realized that he might have made the most correct decision.
Let King Arthur have modern knowledge and vision.
"Tony." He secretly sent a message to Tony, "Help me gather some of the best professors, and ask for sociology, history, psychology, and political science, fast." ”
"No problem." Tony replied directly, without asking why, "In the past, there were many of the best scholars in the world in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy. ”
Those professors of S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, after the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D., basically went to major schools to teach.
The biggest advantage of letting them come is that they all know the rules of confidentiality.
So, when Shen He and the others went back, what they saw was that some old scholars had been taken to the Sky Garden.
"This is your student." Shen He pushed Artoria out, "She is the legendary King Arthur in British history, summoned as a heroic spirit, and my request is to let her understand the reason for her failure within five days." ”
"It can't be!"
One of the scholars shouted directly with gray hair.
"I've been looking for evidence that King Arthur is real, but how could he be a girl."
"I'm just hiding my true identity." Artoria still has a lot of respect for scholars, "If the people knew that I was a woman, they would lose trust and prestige. ”
"Even so......"
The scholar from England blushed, and the fact that King Arthur was a woman seemed even more unacceptable to him than the fact that people appeared in front of him 1,500 years ago.
"Alright." Shen He waved his hand, "Artoria is not the Arthur King of this world, the specific situation involves the secrets of Chaldea, in short, you have all signed a confidentiality agreement, and I will always observe the entire teaching process." ”
He expected that in about five days, the people of the Fourth Holy Grail War would gather and officially start fighting.
So time is still tight.
The reason he asked to sit in was because he didn't want to miss Artoria's transformation.
He wanted to see it with his own eyes.
The whole "Arthurian Re-education" begins with Artoria telling her history, from her harsh childhood, to drawing a sword in a stone, to building brilliant feats, and finally to the civil war.
Although Shen He has known this general process for a long time, listening to the girl's story, he can also feel the magnificent life and some unknown things.
For example, at the moment when the sword in the stone is drawn.
She was still scared in her heart.
Because the magician in the dream prophesied that she would meet a tragic death in the hatred of the people.
She is not afraid of the end of the road, but afraid of the real future that she will not be able to bring to the country and its people.
For another example, when she learned that her titular princess, Gnavel, had an adulterous affair with Lancelot, the Knight of the Round Table, she only thought that this was just a choice made by Gnavelle to protect the secret of her gender, and even though she understood and appreciated, she still pushed Gnavelle to the gallows in accordance with the king's code of conduct.
I have to say that compared to the story of King Arthur's legend, Artoria's version is even more shocking.
After pulling out the sword in the stone, she was no longer human, her appearance was fixed, and she was invincible.
The only one who can defeat her is her replicant, Mordred.
"That's it." After Artoria finished speaking, the scholars discussed, "Let's start with the basics of social psychology, in the feudal era of the West, if you are bullied by a strong enemy, you will need a strong king to guide you, this is the desire of people, but when you settle down, ......"
Shen He was also listening.
These scholars are indeed the best mentors, and the process of explaining them is easy to understand and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
