Chapter 93: Artoria is not a knight king

Charles listened dumbfounded to Artoria's words, this plot is not right.

Artoria smiled bitterly and said: "I am the god of war based on his ideas, my image, my ability, my character, my thinking, all of them are copied by him according to his knight king Artoria Pendragon. ”

Charles thought for a moment and understood that the "he" Artoria was talking about was the time-traveler who had "summoned" her.

Artoria continued: "He is my master, and the imprint in my soul makes it impossible for me to disobey his orders. In his subconscious, I want to behave exactly like the knight king Artoria Pendragon in his memory, so everything I have to behave like my prototype. ”

"And what kind of person is he to you?" Charles asked, scooping soup into his bowl. Now that the half-meter-diameter casserole is almost at the bottom, he eats two bowls of soup, two pieces of chicken and three slices of shiitake mushrooms.

"He gave birth to me and at the same time molded me into a useful person, and he was like a father to me. "I'm trying to get in the direction he wants." ”

This development seems to have a bit of a "Pretty Girl Dream Factory" flavor.

"Only later......" a sad expression flashed across Artoria's countenance.

Seeing this, Charles didn't ask any further, but silently fished two pieces of chicken from the casserole.

After a moment of silence, Artoria whispered, "At that time, I always regarded him as a father and a partner. And he used me as a tool, a substitute for Altoria Pendragon in his mind. He didn't allow me to do anything that was contrary to my archetype, and he didn't allow me to have my own thoughts that were contrary to my archetype......"

Charles sighed inwardly, what kind of thing is this.

But if you think about it carefully, you will be relieved, although she is modeled after the Dumb Hair King, but she is also an independent person after all, and while accepting the character of the Dully Hair King, she also produced her own independent personality.

Just like those protagonists whose souls have penetrated and absorbed the host's memories, although they have the host's memories, their way of thinking is still their own.

And her summoner obviously didn't realize this, and always regarded her as the knight king in the second dimension of the "hometown".

In this way, after getting along for a long time, the two will have conflicts. And the contradictions during the period Artoria didn't want to go into detail, Charles didn't ask, and he didn't do anything to expose people's scars.

After pouring the last bit of soup into his bowl, Artoria continued: "At first, I was impressed by the charm of the Knight King in my memory, and I have always been strict with myself with the goal of that Knight King, hoping that I can become the real Knight King in this world. ”

"At that time, I had a dream to return to his world with him and see the place where the Knight King fought. ”

At this time, Charles is about to break out in a cold sweat, are you going to attend the Comic Con? I'm afraid she's going to split the Tokyo Big Sight.

At this time, Artoria shook his head again and smiled bitterly, "Later I found out that everything is fake. ”

"That day I rescued an injured and unconscious traveler in the forest when he was holding a paper bag with my portrait painted on it, and inside the bag were some ......"

Artoria paused for a moment, and then said with some excitement: "It's some unsightly picture album with the Knight King as the protagonist. ”

"Huh...... What a knight king, it's just a plaything fabricated out of thin air to please people. ”

Charles saw a trace of black gas coming out of Artoria's dull hair at this time, and wondered if she might have turned black after seeing her book.

It seems that the old guy who crossed over after buying the book of the dumb hair king is going to end up worrying.

"How so?!" Charles pretended to be surprised.

At the same time, he also extinguished the idea of summoning Lexington and Saratoga and others in the future, they were not reeds growing in the ground, and they would swing whatever the wind blew. They are also human beings when they are called, and they can also think for themselves.

Artoria continued with a wry smile: "It's unbelievable, I thought everything about me was ridiculous, from my soul to my body, everything was false. ”

"During that time, my only thought was to die on the battlefield and let everything go with the wind. ”

Charles said to her, "Although your prototype is fake, everything you do is real, and the people you have helped are real. ”

"yes. Artoria nodded and said, "That's what she said to me after I was defeated by Catherine. ”

Then she said: "So then she threw me into a prisoner of war camp, and every day I had to work with other prisoners of war, eat together, and rest together. ”

"It was the first time I didn't have to live as a knight king. The first time I lined up with other people to eat in the cafeteria, the first time I spent five minutes in the group bath with other female prisoners, the first time I was woken up by someone else's snoring in the group dormitory, because there was a female prisoner who was molested by the male prisoner next door, I took them to find a place, and then for the first time I was collectively punished for starvation......"

"It was a hard time, but it was the period when I had the most laughs since I was born. ”

"Soon after, I became the commander of the women's battalion of the Abyss City POW camp, and before the final battle, I was released early because of my good behavior. ”

Charles shook his head speechlessly and asked, "So you stayed here later?"

Artoria nodded, "Yes, I paid off all his kindness, so I decided to live for myself in the days to come." ”

"On the day I came out of the prisoner of war camp, Philip said to me that the temple could provide me with the power of faith, and that I could understand the meaning of life in this land and be a truly living person. ”

Charles took a sip of the mint water that Amiya had brought in just now, and then asked, "So do you understand the meaning of life now?"

Artoria shook her head, "I always felt like I was close to getting it. Blanche says you have a lot of ideas, so you might be able to give me some advice. ”

Charles could only smile bitterly, although the ancestors took a fancy to you, who had been assimilated by the character of the Knight King, and asked you to take the helm of the nascent prosecution system, but they didn't expect that you would sit in this position for three hundred years.

You've been sitting in that position for the past 300 years, and your life has never changed.

On the construction site, you can also fight wits with Party A and supervisors, and fight with workers who smoke and don't wear safety helmets on the construction site, and you have a fulfilling life every day. Your old man is sitting in the office, who dares to fight you.

Where is such a monotonous life suitable for healing the soul and exploring the meaning of life?

From this point, it can also be inferred that Artoria's ability to adapt outside the battlefield has certain shortcomings. The knowledge she was born with seems to lack some human sophistication.

So, Charles finally said to her, "The world is so big, don't you want to see it?"
