Chapter 478: Enlightenment

With the loss of the scabbard of the Sword of Kings, Great Britain went into decline, and it was the rebellion of the famous Knights of the Round Table Mordred and Morgan during Artoria's expedition to Rome.

In this rebellion, Artoria was seriously wounded, and this is what led to the destruction of Great Britain - the Battle of the Sword Railing!

At this point, the legendary life of the Knight King came to an end, and all Artoria's efforts were in vain......

When Artoria collapsed in the pile of countless corpses, at the last moment of her death, she made a pact with the "Will of the World" Alayya, even if she paid the price of eternal reincarnation, she would return to the day of the "King's Choice" and prevent herself from pulling out the "Golden Sword of Victory" sword in the stone!

This is also the reason why Artoria cannot be spiritualized, because she has a contract with the "will of the world", which is also known as the "law", and without a huge supply of magic power, she cannot be spiritualized like other servants.

After Saber slowly said his wish, everyone's mood couldn't help but be a little solemn, only Sikong Xu sighed.

"Hey, okay, then I'll explain it to you here." Sikong Xu glanced around, and then said, "I'll tell you everything I know." ”

"Actually, the Holy Grail as you know it has been contaminated."

"Contaminated?" X5

Listening to the surprises around him, Sikong Xu seemed to have expected it, and he said calmly, "Do you know why Gilgamesh would want to attack Illya, and the Kiriri Dirty Inkstone would tightly wrap around Sakura?"

Everyone shook their heads when they heard this, and to be honest, apart from Sikong Xu, the only person who knew a little about the nature of the Holy Grail Ritual was Artoria.

However, Artoria still didn't know that the real Holy Grail had been tainted, and in her memory, she only knew that during the Fourth Holy Grail War, she used two spells to force herself to destroy the Holy Grail.

"The Holy Grail as we know it today is no longer the Holy Grail of the Holy Church of Christ that can grant any wish."

After saying this, Sikong Xu deliberately looked at Artoria, and the other party also stared at Sikong Xu tightly, waiting for him to continue.

"During the Third Holy Grail War, the Einzberen family used special means to summon the eighth Servant (Avenger) in addition to the seven rank Servants, and it was since then that the Holy Grail was contaminated, and the entity that was the Holy Grail was destroyed.

As a result, if you want to summon the Holy Grail in the future, you must use the 'Little Grail' as a container, and Illya and Sakura are the containers used as the 'Little Grail'!"

"No wonder that guy will keep pestering Sakura!" After listening to Sikong Xu's explanation, Rin Tosaka couldn't help but say in an atmosphere.

However, Artoria on the side asked strangely.

"But what does this have to do with the Holy Grail being contaminated, doesn't it still have some ability to grant wishes?"

Artoria said this, Sikong Xu couldn't help but sneer, and then, instead of answering Artoria's question directly, he asked her a question instead.

"Saber, if your wish is based on the fulfillment of tens of thousands of lives, then do you wish to fulfill such a wish?"

"What do you mean by that?" Artoria frowned, her delicate face had been frowning since the beginning.

"Literally, Saber, do you know why Emiya Kiritsugu would go out of his way to ask you to destroy the Holy Grail in the first place?"

Hearing Sikong Xu's words, Artoria's whole body suddenly shook.

During the Fourth Holy Grail War, being forced to destroy the Holy Grail by Emiya Kiritsugu using a spell has always been a pain in Artoria's heart.

At that time, the Holy Grail was obviously so easy for Artoria to reach, and the order she received from her own Imperial Guard Kiritsugu, did destroy the Holy Grail.

In this way, all of Artoria's hopes were dashed again, and all she finally got was endless darkness and despair.

Without the blessing of the Holy Grail, Artoria, as a Servant, could not remain in the present realm, and could only return to the Throne of the Immortal, to the sword bar where she was dying.

However, a glimmer of hope shone on Artoria's face again, and she saw the dawn of her summoning herself once again in the Throne of the Immortal, where there is no time difference!

And then, it's time to meet Sikong Xu.

"Xu, how much do you know?" Artoria looked at Sikong Xu, she really couldn't understand why her master seemed to be young, but he was able to know so many secret secrets.

Sikong Xu shook his head and did not answer Artoria's question, but continued: "It was precisely because Emiya Kiritsugu knew the truth about the contamination of the Holy Grail at that time, and he didn't want the Avenger (Avenger) in the Holy Grail to appear in the world, thus bringing endless disasters to the world, so he ordered you to destroy the Holy Grail, and Gilgamesh wanted the contaminated Holy Grail to come to the world and bring disaster to mankind, so he would attack Illya." ”

After listening to Si Kongxu's words, Artoria fell silent, and it had always been her obsession to return to the original "day of the king's choice" through the Holy Grail.

However, the justice she adhered to as a knight did not allow her to cause countless sacrifices because of herself.

"Actually, Saber, even if you could go back to the day of the Chosen and stop you from pulling out the sword in the stone, wouldn't Great Britain perish? Don't kid yourself, Saber!"

Artoria opened her mouth in the face of Sikong Xu's questioning, but she couldn't say a word, Sikong Xu could know so many secret things, so it was not strange for him to know his experience.

"You're just running away from the past, Saber."

"No, I didn't, I just ...... I just feel guilty about my kingdom and my people. ”

"Guilty...... Sikong Xu shook his head, "That is, Saber, do you regret becoming the king of Great Britain?"

"Yes, my country is what happened to me because of me."

Hearing Artoria's words, Sikong Xu sneered.

"Saber, have you ever wondered what you would do if no one but you could pull out that sword in the stone? Perhaps, Great Britain will perish sooner. ”

"......" Artoria didn't speak, just quietly lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Speaking of which, Sikong Xu no longer plans to continue, there are some things, if you can't figure it out and keep drilling the horns, no matter how others persuade and enlighten you, you can't do it.

"Forget it, these things are for the time being, don't mention them, let's talk about what to do next, and Illya's going." At this time, Rin Tosaka, who felt that the atmosphere was wrong, stood up and said to everyone.
