Chapter 282: Shaken
Early in the morning, next to Alice Field's room, Artoria, who was closest to the Master, turned over and got up.
She wasn't good at dressing up, so she woke up with a simple comb of her hair, tied a single ponytail behind her head and went out.
She thought that she was the first person to get up in this villa, but when she passed by the courtyard, she found that Liu Yuan had actually gotten up earlier than her, and was holding a sword in the open space of the courtyard to practice in the morning, sweating profusely, and it seemed that she had been practicing for a while.
Seeing that there was no one around, Artoria rarely had a little mischievous thought in her heart, and after putting away the traces of her magic power, she walked towards the courtyard and approached Liu Yuan, wanting to see if he recognized which Artoria she was.
But unexpectedly, Liu Yuan recognized at a glance that she was not his own heroic spirit.
"Ah, it's Saber, it's early."
Liu Yuan will only call his servant by his real name, and he will call her 'saber' to show the difference.
"Do you get up so early to practice?" Artoria said.
"yes."
"It's really diligent."
Artoria gave a word of appreciation.
No matter what era it is, hard-working people are always more liked, which proves that they have a strong sense of self-motivation, and this kind of person will inevitably pull out the gap with most ordinary people in society, because the effort they put in between them is not a quantity.
Artoria looked at it for a while, and found that Liu Yuan seemed to be suppressing his magic power to the limit, not using magic to increase his body, but constantly repeating the action of 'spreading out' and 'condensing into a strand', opening and clenching like a fist, while exercising his body, he exercised the condensation speed and micro-control of magic power.
Morning exercises of this intensity are simply unheard of in Artoria.
"Why are you working so hard, wouldn't it be nice to leave the matter of fighting to your servants." Artoria couldn't help but ask.
Liu Yuan paused for a moment and said:
"It's because I'm not good at using my mind that I have to use the strength of my body to make up for my shortcomings....... However, you are also right, what am I doing, and the master's ability should be reflected in how to properly manipulate the servant, I have understood this truth from the beginning. No matter how strong I become, I will never be able to defeat the Heroic Spirit and participate in the real battle....... Maybe I'm just kidding myself by being afraid of the 'do nothing' thing itself. ”
"Don't be presumptuous, no drop of sweat is meaningless, today's efforts will one day become your help."
"Needless to say, this kind of false big empty words, you can succeed just by hard work? The world is not that simple. Liu Yuan smiled bitterly, "After all, I'm a fake." ”
"What?"
"Sorry, nothing, just some self-talk."
For the first time, Artoria saw the dazed and inferior complex on Liu Yuan's face, as if she saw herself from him.
Doubts about oneself and even denial of the past.
But for some reason, Artoria didn't want to empathize with Liu Yuan, but had a strong urge to open her mouth to refute and cheer him up.
But as a monarch of a dead country and a failed king, what position does she stand on, and what qualifications does she have to say such things?
She didn't.
If you want to affirm Liu Yuan, then you must first affirm your past self, and deny yourself as the reason why you have become a heroic spirit to travel through the era to participate in the Holy Grail War.
This is contrary to her goal of pursuing the Holy Grail.
It shouldn't be like this.
Isn't that how kings should be?
Knights shouldn't be like that, right?
Artoria Pendragon, shouldn't it be like this?
Artoria's thoughts spread, beyond the present and into the past.
When you see someone in need, draw your sword to help, this is the rule of knights.
The country was in crisis, so at that time she drew the sword in the stone, which symbolized the 'king'.
But Camelot was ruined by her hands, and she failed to fulfill her duties as a king to protect the happiness of the people and the country.
Is it her fault? Yes.
Should she regret it? Yes.
Should she change the past, deny herself, and deny the subjects who believed in King Arthur until the end?
When she first arrived in Fuyuki City, she would say 'yes', and for the sake of this ideal, she could abandon everything to pursue the Holy Grail, even if it hurt the people she valued. Ideas and principles are such things, and she will not be easily shaken.
But in the face of the confused person in front of her, she suddenly understood that she didn't really want to be that kind of person, and she didn't want Liu Yuan to be that kind of person.
The ideal king, the ideal king, will not and cannot deny the past and deny themselves, because this is the fundamental reason why they are standing here.
By denying the past, the future is also being denied, so the past cannot be changed.
She should have understood.
And from a realistic point of view, would it really be better for Camelot to change a king to lead the people?
In fact, she already knew that there were only a handful of talents who could govern the country at that time, and all forces were coveting that position. Only with the blood of King Uther, there is enough
She is qualified to lead the country, so as not to cause Camelot to have civil strife for the empty throne and bury herself quickly.
If this problem can really be solved perfectly, it will undoubtedly be a miracle that the Holy Grail can produce.
But this possibility was also overturned by the words of Liu Yuan and others last night, and when she saw the confused Liu Yuan, Artoria also denied denying herself.
Blindly pursuing the Holy Grail, she is undoubtedly getting into the horns, just like the loser who shouts to give me another chance, a sign of escapism.
She has lost her country and can no longer lose her character as a knight.
Seeing someone in difficulty, drawing a sword to help is the principle of a knight, and it is also the foundation of a knight.
Artoria, I say, you are wrong.
Liu Yuan, I want to say
"That's right, you are an ordinary person, a magician family with no origins, no strength and wisdom that is superb enough to surpass the servants, and you can hardly play much role in battle."
Artoria smiled lightly, "But it is precisely because you are an ordinary person that you can comprehend the powerlessness of human beings, the greatness of human reason, and the vastness of the world. Only by recognizing the vastness of the starry sky can the courage to move forward be more precious. ”
"I still stick to my previous opinion, no drop of sweat is meaningless, and it has nothing to do with the real thing or the fake, whether it is a genius or a mediocre person. Do what you have to do, the last hope of human reason, step by step, down-to-earth, just like the navigator who explores the New World. Your life is not over yet, don't slack off and keep learning. ”
"That's it, you work hard, I'll go and urge Sera to cook."
Liu Yuan's eyes widened, dumbfounded, unable to believe that this was what Artoria could say before the Five World Wars.
But looking at that free and easy back, Liu Yuan suddenly understood that Artoria seemed to be really relieved.
Really, he accidentally untied Artoria's heart knot?
"The one at home hasn't understood yet, and someone else's family is fine, what's going on......." Liu Yuan muttered speechlessly.
Liu Yuan didn't understand the reason for Artoria's relief, nor did she understand what Artoria wanted to say to him, but her desire to encourage her was transmitted.
Liu Yuan thought about it for a long time, but he didn't know the essentials, so he didn't think about it anymore.
