103 This seems to be a sad story~
After Saber realized that everything about him was a "fake" fabricated by "some people" in order to win, he felt discouraged for a while.
Fortunately, I had a rich meal in the morning, and in the "death fight" with food, I touched a new world that I had never reached before. And an oolong fight with the two little girls, after slapping the two of them around like a ball, also slightly relieved some of the mental pressure. The ensuing fierce battle with the ensuing cat demon temporarily and completely diverted her attention and threw her full attention into the battle - so much so that at this moment, she had basically admitted this reality that was difficult for her to accept.
Saber's thoughts and complicated mental journeys will not be paid attention to by others.
At this moment, after realizing that Saber's existence was basically harmless and that there was thunder everywhere on her body, Qu Lingyun had lost interest in continuing to get to the bottom of her, and shifted her attention to Bai Ze, who made her care and worry more.
Just when Bai Ze was asked by his childhood sweetheart about his recent experiences and felt anxious, Saber, who was still immersed in loneliness and loneliness, did not pay attention to the noise between the two teenagers, came to the side and found a chair to sit down, silently sorting out his thoughts.
Saber's life trajectory is not complicated, as mentioned above, on the whole, it is very consistent with the deeds of King Arthur recorded in the British legend, and the timing of each major event can basically be matched one by one, but there are many differences in details.
Around the 5th century AD, due to the invasion of foreign enemies in the Roman Empire, which was gradually showing the trend of extinction and division, all the Roman legions originally stationed in Britain withdrew from the large island to return to the mainland, so that the British Islands, which lacked the deterrence of the legions, also fell into a situation of self-struggle.
Uther Pendragon, one of the princes of Britannia, had been defeated fifteen years earlier by the Humble King Votiggen, and since then he has been at a disadvantage, and he pinned his hopes on the next generation of new kings, so as mentioned before, Artoria Pendragon, a girl was "made" - normally speaking, if the offspring can only be limited to women, it is basically better to have one by oneself, and no one will accept a female heir in those days, and no one will accept a female king; In addition, because the artificial human technology of the Einzberen clan is to reproduce the "perfect work" that was accidentally created back then, and it only has the manufacturing technology modeled on the third magician who is a woman, so the artificial human created can only be female, which makes it impossible to avoid this biggest flaw that should not have appeared.
After that, until the "appointed day", Artoria's experience was not much different from that of the legendary King Arthur, basically growing up in the house of the old knight Sir Actor, but unlike the original Arthur, who was basically carefree, Artoria was instilled with the memory that she slept only 3 hours a day since she was five years old, and studied and practiced martial arts as a king under the tutelage of Merlin, which lasted every day for ten years, until she was fifteen years old, But normally speaking, this kind of crazy practice of quick success and quick profit is basically the second except for the people of Dongying, and no country will squeeze the time and energy of young children so desperately; And when she carefully recalled the details of the teachings she had received in the past, there was only a blank and pale color.
At the age of fifteen in her memory, Uther Pendragon died, and all the knights were organized by Merlin to carry out the "Rite of Choice", and Artoria, who had come to the appointment, stepped forward to pull out the sword in the stone after everyone had failed, and a voice similar to Merlin sounded in her head: "It is better to think carefully before picking up that thing." Once you pick up that sword, you will no longer be human until the end, you will be hated by all humans, and you will finally meet a tragic death. ”
- Thinking about it at the moment, this should be the first "concept" she was inculcated, which determined the basis for her to fit the legend of King Arthur, and at the same time, this was actually the starting point for the first real formation of her consciousness, and those memories before that were just the "background setting" written later.
And the moment she pulled out the "chosen golden sword", the river of time froze in her body, both her body and her face stopped growing and aging, and she stayed forever at the moment of 15 years old - just like the artificial humans of the Einzberen clan, she was already a teenage girl on the day of "birth", and it will not change after that, after all, for an artificial person with an average lifespan of no more than one year, it is basically difficult to have a chance to grow old.
After that, she hid her true gender, married Queen Gnavelle as king, and had a grand wedding to reveal it, during which Merlin took her to a sacred lake, where Artoria received the sacred sword Excailbur as a gift from the spirit of the lake. Merlin told her to keep the scabbard at least at all times, but she accidentally lost it - in fact, it was when her spirit was first formed and placed in the "Scabbard-Distant Ideal Land" that was used as a "special corpse", an experience that she had personally experienced and revised in her memory to conform to the legend of King Arthur.
In the following ten years, she led her Knights of the Round Table to victory in twelve major battles in a row, making the originally weak kingdom more powerful than ever, and her ageless body terrified many knights, but most of them still regarded her immortal image as a sacred symbol, but less and less paid attention to her real gender - after all, many Caucasian men in their teenage years were indeed extremely handsome and girl-like, and only when they grew up would they quickly become muscular barbarians, but from another perspective, It also confirmed the illusion of her experiences, and although she remembered each battle very clearly, she found that she could not remember what happened in between.
She was seen as a symbol of fairness and selflessness in the eyes of her enemies and the people of her own country, and the king's decisions were always considered correct despite the deaths of both her enemies and the people in the war. Under Artoria's leadership, the army was easily reinvigorated, almost unscathed in the defeat of the invading barbarian forces, and as it swept across the battlefield, the fortress designed to defend against King Arthur was easily crushed and crumbled, and the enemy was torn apart by the king's accession.
However, all victories in war must come at a cost, and ten years of uninterrupted fighting have resulted in the supply of the army for fighting to drain all the villages in the territory she ruled. And in order to win the war, she can not hesitate to implement the policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, and loot all the grain, grass and people in the villages near the battlefield, so as to ensure that they will not be used by the enemy to attack her army.
In this way, a young girl who thinks that the king is incapable of governing the country in a benevolent and indecisive mood, never expresses sad feelings, handles government affairs without deviation, punishes the adversary without impartiality, and calculates the balance of gains and losses with precision and consequentialism. And the invincible kingdom under her leadership made her knights begin to fear the king's ruthless decision-making, and began to question the king's behavior of killing less and saving more, and even thought that it was a defilement of chivalry. Even though everyone knows it's the right decision, they don't think it's the right thing to do.
For example, when a knight of the Round Table named Tristan muttered "King Arthur, you don't understand people's hearts" and left her, all the knights were shaken from their original belief in following the knight king. The powerful lords, who had been repeatedly suppressed in the past, but were intimidated by the majesty of the king and did not dare to move, also secretly conspired with each other to remove her from the throne. In the tenth year of Artoria's ascension to the throne of Camelot, the love affair between Lancelot and Guinevere was exposed, although because of the guilt of not being able to give Gnivevale happiness as her husband, she understood the behavior of the two friends to warm up, but in order to maintain the majesty of the "King of Immortality", who was already regarded as the embodiment of the sacred, Lancelot was forced to flee, and Guinevere was burned at the stake amid the angry protests of the knights.
Later, Lancelot intervened to interfere with the execution, took Gnavel, and killed Garhoris and Gareth in a confrontation, and as their brother, Gawain became angry and vowed to break off friendship with Lancelot, which led to a tragedy in which there was no right or wrong—the Knights of the Round Table, which had been regarded as the perfect embodiment of chivalry, were on the verge of collapse.
As for Artoria's "son" Mordred (actually a woman), in her memory it is an artificial person made by the royal sister Morgan Le Fay based on Artoria, but in fact, in the process of her spirit being cultivated, the backup of the "Scabbard - Distant Ideal Country" is based on her, and in the process of her memory indoctrination and personality shaping, she replaced the identity of the tragic prince in the Arthurian legend, and then intervened in her "life", through her own efforts and Morgan's recommendation, Successfully became one of the Knights of the Round Table.
Mordred, who does not think that she is weaker than her "original body" and feels inferior to Artoria's existence and inheritance of her "throne", takes off her helmet in the "evolutionary space-time" formed by memory indoctrination and personality formation, revealing a face that is very similar to Artoria, informing her background and claiming her inheritance.
At that time, Artoria, who knew nothing about it, was shocked by this fact, and she was instinctively angry and frightened by the appearance of this clone, and she couldn't accept the existence of this "illegitimate child", and in the life that evolved at that time, she thought that the identity of the "knight king who swore victory" on her shoulders at the moment meant endless disasters and suffering, and Mordred, as an artificial person, lacked the most crucial education as a king and the root nature of being born as a king. Therefore, it is not believed that Mordred has the talent and strength to inherit the throne - of course, to put it bluntly, she does not want to be "replaced".
Although she instinctively sensed the threat, she was not equipped to solve it in any way at that time, and if she did it rashly, Morgan, who was hiding in the shadows, would definitely take the opportunity to attack, and the princes and lords who had been waiting for the opportunity would also take the opportunity to weaken her authority. Because of this mutual jealousy, when she went out again, she asked Gawain and her brother Kai to stay behind to take care of Mordred, who was treated coldly by her, but she never thought that when she went out on an expedition to Rome, because Kai went out privately, giving Mordred a chance to get out of control, and with Morgan's instigation and assistance, she took the opportunity to lead an army to rebel, and those princes and lords who had always had bad intentions also joined Mordred's command.
Altoria, who had returned from an expedition to Rome and was already exhausted, was defeated by Mordred in the Battle of the Sword Rail.
She killed Mordred, the "Rebellious Knight", with the holy spear "Rengominiade", and Mordred also used the "King's Sword" to smash the skull of the "Father" and cut off one of the "Father's" eyes before dying—in this battle, although Artoria successfully destroyed the "Replica" Mordred's main body, the "King's Sword-Clarent", but also sacrificed a part of her body, and the "Holy Spear-Rhongomyniad", known as the "Spear Shining Farthest", was destroyedOnly part of the wreckage turned into the "Wind King Enchantment" is still wrapped around her body, and her own spirit body is also dying, if she is not immediately brought into this realm and reshaped through the Holy Grail Ritual, she may fall into a deep sleep of no return.
Another direct impact of this battle was that the sword fence mound that was covered with blood and fire and countless fragments of the "King Sword - Clarent" was left in the "scabbard", which was a low mound under the blood-red sky and full of flames and rust, which left a deep impression on Bai Ze at the beginning.
