"In other words, do you want to be respected?" Wu Jian took a sip of wine and asked lightly.

"That's right!" Saber replied as a matter of course.

"How can a group of long-dead kings want to gain the respect of people who have nothing to do with those nations and who do not regard the king's identity at all?"

depend on

What they are proud of is the identity of the king, but in the face of Wu Jian, they can't take this out, otherwise they will be teased by Wu Jian. So no matter how dissatisfied the three of them were, they were just silent and would not show the identity of the king.

"Wu Jian, you guy, obviously recognize my way of king, but don't recognize my identity as a king?"

Saber said through gritted teeth, while looking at Wu Jian with a dark expression. Seeing this, Wu Jian just sighed and said, "The choice just now is just a choice made based on the king's way." All things considered, if you really want to choose, you can only choose Rider. ”

"Oh?"

I didn't expect Wu Jian, who had degraded himself so badly just now, to say this, and the steady Rider couldn't help but let out a questioning voice.

"For what?" Saber said after glancing at Rider.

"Because you're just a fantasist, aren't you?"

Wu Jian's words were taken for granted, like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Saber, who was slashed, took a few steps back, with an expression of being hit by the facts on his face.

"Although the ideal is good, but you don't have the ability to realize it, this will only make things develop in a bad direction, and of course you will not be chosen to be the king." Wu Jian continued.

"That's why I'm going to be"

Saber lowered his head, his hands hanging limply.

"You don't understand at all!"

At this point, Nero interjected, and this sentence made Saber look up suddenly.

Under Saber's questioning expression, Nero asked, "You said you want to change history, so what are you going to do specifically?" ”

"Give up my throne and pick out the right king."

Saber blurted out something that caused both Gilgamesh and Rider to shake their heads.

"What's wrong with that? Since my ability is insufficient, wouldn't it be better to let the capable king ascend to the throne? Saber looked left and right at Gilgamesh and Rider and almost yelled.

"A capable king is indeed good."

Saber almost burst into tears when she heard Nero's approval, but she couldn't rejoice.

"But who is the right king? Don't tell me that it's those rebels who can't convince the crowd, no matter how good their intentions are. Not to mention, none of them have a compelling reason anymore. ”

"Whew"

Looks like Saber really wanted to say that. However, even so, Saber will not give up easily.

"As long as it is left to the people to choose"

"Are you an idiot? How could the people at that time have the consciousness and ability to choose the king? On the one hand, they say that the people need the king's guidance, and on the other hand, they say that everything is left to them, King Arthur, do you really understand what they are doing against you? ”

"That's because I'm not good enough," Saber whispered more and more, until at its worst it was almost inaudible.

"Tell me why!" Nero yelled.

"Oh, that's me, I don't understand people's hearts"

It took Saber a long time to think of this one reason, but how could this satisfy Nero?

"Huh? Is this a specific reason? Isn't it normal for the king not to understand people's hearts? If you don't know the truth, let me tell you. The so-called subjects are creatures that will obediently obey you as long as the benefits are well distributed. Especially the aristocracy, power, money, and beautiful women, you have to satisfy them! ”

"Nero, don't compare my subjects with yours!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Nero, but also Gilgamesh and Rider all had such expressions, which also made Saber grit his teeth even more.

(Sure enough)

At this time, Saber still had the idea that he was incomparably high, but

"Saber, I believe that the Knights of the Round Table under your command are indeed as high as you." Nero agreed, but also denied: "But can you guarantee that all knights are the same?" For those under your nose, you can indeed guarantee it, but for those middle- and low-level officials, large and small, and aristocrats, can you guarantee that they will not be consumed by profit? It doesn't matter if you admit it or not. After winning the war, especially after the founding of the country, it is the distribution of interests. The people, the officials, the aristocracy, were all bound together by interests – especially in those times. As a king, you must divide all the benefits well. Before you became a king, you were a saint who was followed by everyone, but after the founding of the country, you were betrayed, which also means that you can't protect their interests! ”

At first, the clenched fist relaxed, but that didn't mean that Saber had given up: "Nero, what you said may be right, but it also shows that my ability is insufficient, so I have to choose the right king." ”

Saber's painful expression was really pitiful, and I saw Wu Jian stand up and walk up to Saber, stretched out his hand as if he wanted to touch her face, and said: "At that time, the situation in your country should have all kinds of problems, and we outsiders have no way of knowing. But "

Wu Jian's voice became stern: "Are you going to throw that mess to the new king, and you don't care about it?" There's a limit to irresponsibility, Artoria! Even if you succeed in going back in time and electing a new king, I'm afraid you'll still regret it, right? Even if a king is capable, he is still a mortal, and it is impossible to solve a problem that only King Arthur can solve. At that point, you will still regret choosing the king for what you wanted, and then you will fight for the Holy Grail again. ”

"No, it's not me"

Saber shook his head and kept backing away, as if to avoid Wu Jian's touch.

“Saber。”

Ellie's voice rang out from behind Saber, who realized that she had retreated in front of Ellie.

"Wu Jian, after saying so much, what is your wish? We are speechless by you, and if your wishes do not convince us, we will not let you go! ”

At this time, Rider also stood up, and his tone was very unkind.

"Wishes? No kidding, just with the rags of the Holy Grail, you want to say that you want to fulfill my wish? ”

"It's a bit complicated to say that what we're fighting for is rags. However, what is it that you, who have been summoned as a Heroic Spirit, have said that you don't need the Holy Grail? ”

"Rider, don't be tempted, don't you think I haven't noticed anything changed in you? What kind of existence am I, you should have a bit of a bottom, right? ”

"So, you're not going to compete with us for the Holy Grail? But what about Nero? ”

Rider had to ask cautiously, because even with the intervention of the inhibition force, it was still up to them to make the decision, and he really didn't want to confront Wu Jian and Nero unless necessary.

Wu Jian nodded, and Nero waved his hand as if he was saying whatever you want, and said, "What my lord means is my will." ”

"Yes." Rider replied softly, then said to Gilgamesh and Saber, "That's all for today, since none of us can come up with a convincing reason, let's take the Holy Grail by strength." ”

After saying that, Rider summoned the ox cart, beckoned Webb to come up, said "I'm leaving" and drove the ox cart away.

"Humph!"

Gilgamesh just snorted, turned around and disappeared without a trace.

As for Saber, Wu Jian didn't bother to pay attention to what she thought now, and after hugging her back, she went back to the room with Nero.

On the way, Nero suddenly said, "It's strange that these regular Heroic Spirits don't want to do anything with us. ”

"Yes, although their thoughts are normal, but if that's the case, why should they take action? Isn't it just a problem for me? ”

Wu Jian shook his head, looking puzzled. And for this problem, Rider and his Master from afar are also discussing.

"Are you angry with that Rider?"

Looking at Rider's grim face, Webb was on the verge of crying when he asked this. However, as the master of Rider, he still mustered up the courage to ask.

Rider was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "It's a lie to be said to be like that, and to say that you don't want to be angry, but boy, it's okay if you laugh at me, because I'm afraid, I'm afraid that even the three of us Heroic Spirits joining forces are no match for them, so I can't even test it - if he doesn't say he doesn't want the Holy Grail." ”

"Is this true? They have no interest in the Holy Grail. ”

"It should be true, and that's why I didn't make a move. After all, what I want most is the Holy Grail, and I would be better off if I didn't make enemies of them. ”

"That Rider, I think that's normal! Even if you are a conquering king, you can't fight a battle without a chance of winning! What's more, their strength is so strong, and their body is unknown."

Webb tried to comfort Rider, and Rider put his hand on his head and shook it vigorously, smiling as if to say, "You kid has grown up too."

"Boy, there's something weird, have you noticed it?"

"Huh?"

Because Rider kept shaking his head, Webb could only ask a question.

"I just found out that it's not just me, it's Kim Shin and Saber who have been inhibited. But the question arises, for what inhibition force should be done to do this. If Wu Jian really didn't belong to the existence of this world, the action of the restraining force would be understandable, but he didn't force us to attack Wu Jian, and I couldn't figure it out anyway. ”

"Rider" Webb wants to solve Rider's puzzles, but Rider can't figure out what he can explain.

"Forget it, no matter. Since there is no limit to mana, and there is no restriction on movement, then we just need to grab the Holy Grail! ”
