Chapter 165: The so-called king
ββ¦β¦β
Thinking that it was just a joke of his own, Darius III did not expect her to summon him, but when he saw Firena's serious face, which did not look like a joke at all, he was stunned for a moment, looked at her expression changed again and again, and then looked up to the sky and laughed:
"Hahahaha, huh? I'm really looking forward to that day. β
"Well, I believe that one day, you will be summoned."
Nodding, Firena stretched out her right hand and replied in the affirmative.
Seeing Firena's movements, the expression on Darius III's face instantly softened, and he immediately stretched out his right palm, which was comparable to the door, and gently pressed Firena's palm against his palm, which was regarded as making an agreement with her.
"So Firena...... No, master. Since it has been agreed with you, even if it is an overdraft of the future name, it must not matter. Hahaha. β
Hearty laughter echoed through the ruins again, but after saying these words to Firena, a brilliant golden light began to appear on Darius III's body, spreading at a very rapid speed. In the blink of an eye, his body began to gradually become transparent.
Darius III, who knew that he had little time, withdrew his laughter, and then said to Firena and the others with a very serious expression:
"Master, your goal is the Great Holy Grail. And since you can guess my real name, you must know who the Saber guarding by the Great Grail is. β
Seeing Firena, she nodded silently, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of Darius III's mouth, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, being able to know the other party's real name from many channels, and find out the weaknesses from it, is a necessary quality for a master. Obviously, the young master in front of him could be said to have done a very good job, so he immediately retracted his smile and continued to say seriously:
"Although your strength is very strong, I have to admit that in your current state, you are no match for the Saber who has been contaminated by the black mud of the Holy Grail. With her infinite unleashable treasure of the city, if she doesn't have any reservations, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to get close, and you will be killed by her. β
Nodding, Firena knew that what Darius III said was not wrong, because whether in the game or in the anime, the extent to which Black Saber released water in battle can be said to be very serious.
If it weren't for King Arthur's unbearable destruction of his own table, with the strength of the first chapter of Matthew, even if she knew her true name of the Noble Phantasm, she would have launched a city that is still a distant ideal city, and I am afraid that she would not be able to withstand the bombardment of the Black Saber many times with the Noble Phantasm.
And although in the final battle, CΓΊ Chulainn's release of the treasure was a surprise sneak attack, but Firena still seriously suspected that there was a death intent in the heart of Black Saber at that time, otherwise with her strength, she would never be killed by CΓΊ Chulainn so easily.
(Could it be that the black saber guy still retains a trace of kindness?) οΌ
Thinking of Black Saber's every move, Firena couldn't help but draw a somewhat crazy conclusion in her heart. Although the conclusion is a bit crazy, it is not unreasonable if you think about it. After all, as a noble knight king, Artoria was only left with a ruthless side after being swallowed by the black mud of the Holy Grail, but her ideals were still the "ideal king" that King Arthur originally pursued.
She may indeed brutally kill enemies on the path to her ideals, but if you look closer, you'll find that their essence is still the same. Perhaps it was because she knew that the Great Holy Grail could not fulfill her wishes, so she deliberately released the water after seeing Matthew and his party holding the shield.
But those are the black saber in anime and games, and now due to the change in the timeline, Firena doesn't know whether the current black saber will smash his former dinner table angrily after seeing Matthew, so before facing her, you still need to be fully prepared.
"It can be seen from your face, master, that in your heart, you must have been wary of that knight king enough, so I won't bother to say anything to hit your self-confidence."
The golden light overflowed, Darius III's body began to decompose into bits of golden light, and then quickly dissipated between heaven and earth, at this moment, he had completely dissipated in the air below his knees, and the decomposition speed of the golden light points was still further accelerating, and in the blink of an eye, it was already past his waist.
Looking at Firena, who was frowning, Darius III knew very well that at this moment, in Firena's heart, he had already learned enough about King Arthur who was tainted by the Holy Grail, so he didn't say too much, adding too much psychological burden to her.
Then Darius III turned his head and looked at Lancelot, who was following behind Firena, and said with a slight frown:
"The Holy Grail War is really an incredible existence, I didn't expect that at the same time as summoning the Knight King, I also summoned you, who was praised by the Knight King as the ideal knight - Lancelot. Is this providence? I really love to play tricks on people. β
"Perhaps this is the Holy Grail hearing my wish that this unchaste me may come here and accept the king's sanction."
After hearing Darius III's words, Lancelot's hand holding the hilt of his sword tightened at first, then shook his head helplessly, and said with some self-deprecation.
"Hahahaha! Is this your wish for the Holy Grail, and sure enough, as I said, your sword intent is full of clarity, and your heart yearns for light, and you deserve to be praised as the most ideal knight by the Knight King. β
The golden light had quickly broken down to Darius III's chest, but his laughter was still so loud, and after laughing for a while, he looked at Lancelot, who looked a little puzzled, and said boldly:
"Hawkers, I didn't plan to intervene in the matter between you and the Knight King, after all, it was your grudge, but after seeing that you fell into a misunderstanding, I couldn't help but want to say more, I just don't know if you, who are known as the most ideal knights, are willing to listen to the opinion of me, the king of the dead country?"
"I want to hear about it!"
Lancelot was very puzzled by Darius III's evaluation of himself as the most ideal knight after knowing his identity, after all, he could be said to be the real culprit who led to the demise of the whole of Great Britain, and he didn't feel that he had fallen into any misunderstanding.
"The so-called king can be more greedy than the people of the world, more tyrannical than anyone, and more holy than anyone, but no matter how turbid, there should be a tolerant heart, only in this way will the courtiers be envious of the king and be overwhelmed by the king."
Seeing that Lancelot's face was full of confusion, a domineering wild smile appeared on Darius III's face, and he immediately said:
"Think about it, Lancelot. King Arthur, who is famous among knights, has you admired it. How could a king with such noble qualities not have a heart that embraces everything, so the wish you made to the Holy Grail is nothing more than the most childish joke. β
