I don't want to be a heroic spirit

"I'm sorry, I've gone too far."

Looking at Artoria again, Vlad III's fierce expression also softened a little.

"It doesn't matter, his doubts are not unreasonable. After all, King Arthur is indeed not a god." Artoria nodded, with a calm expression on her face, "Although the blood of the red dragon flows in my body, as King Arthur, I am indeed not a god. , but a complete king of people.”

As King Arthur?

Everyone present captured this word keenly.

Could it be...that something else happened after the legend of King Arthur?

Many conjectures flashed through their minds, and then they began to wait.

Waiting for me to give them the answer.

"That is to say...after King Arthur returned the holy sword, there was a follow-up? You didn't die because of it?"

Vlad III touched his chin, and it was obvious that he was also very curious about this.

"The real King Arthur did die after returning the Holy Sword... At least that's the case in the legend of King Arthur that you are familiar with, and if I exist... well... it's a bit complicated to explain."

Arturia showed a troubled expression, and after thinking for a while, she said: "You can think of me as one of the possibilities of King Arthur. It was after King Arthur returned the Holy Sword and picked up the Holy Spear Lungominiad. form."

"The holy spear Lungominiad gave me divinity, becoming both Arthur, the king of men, and the goddess Lungominiad."

"However, standing before you now is the Ruler of this Holy Grail War. He is neither Arthur, the king of men, nor the goddess, the owner of the tower. I will fulfill my duties as a Ruler and not favor anyone. One side.”

"So, whether as a king or a Ruler, I cannot accept your invitation, the noble King of Romania."

Until Arturia finished introducing herself, many people present still had not recovered from the shock.

King Arthur returned the holy sword, drew the holy spear, and became a god.

Everyone never expected that the Ruler in front of them would actually exist like this!

Even among all the heroic spirits, King Arthur is undoubtedly the one standing at the top of the pyramid.

Both the holy sword of salvation and its worldwide popularity prove its power.

Some people even say that if King Arthur or Hercules were summoned in the Holy Grail War, victory would be basically guaranteed.

However, the person in front of him was King Arthur who had become a god.

They would not foolishly think that the opponent would become weaker than before after losing the Holy Sword. The opponent's record of easily repelling the red Lancer has proved her strength, otherwise Vlad III would not be so eager to kill her. Conquered.

"Have you become the god of King Arthur? Then you are indeed qualified to refuse me. This is really regrettable..." Vlad III sighed and sat back on the throne. "However, I am lucky enough to meet that person." The perfect king, I don’t seem to have anything to regret, hahaha!”

Vlad III suddenly figured it out and laughed happily again.

Chapter 181 The calculation of restraint (16/31)

"Although I haven't been joined by a king like you, Yu's castle still welcomes you. I hope you can stay here and let Yu show off the beauty of Yu's country."

It has to be said that Vlad III has a very outstanding personality charm. It is no wonder that so many followers of Black are willing to lower their arrogant heads when facing him and take him as the leader.

Everyone was the most shining hero of that era, and they all had their own arrogance. However, Vlad III convinced them one by one with his own personality charm. This is the most rare thing.

"I would also like to visit the red side's base camp later... But please let me disturb you for today."

Arturia did not reject Vlad III. After all, she had just rejected his invitation to form an alliance. If she refused again, it would be a disgrace to him.

"Do you want to go to the red team's base camp?"

Vlad III was slightly surprised, then touched his chin and said: "As far as I know, the red side's attitude towards you, Ruler, shouldn't be very good, right?"

Vlad III said it a bit euphemistically. If there was anything bad about this, he would kill them all directly.

"Oh! I understand." Astolfo showed a smile that was sweeter than the blooming flowers, and guessed: "Do you want to take revenge on them? If you hit them unreasonably, even if you hit them back, it's okay. Of course! Do you need me to help you? I can help you... uh... forget it, I'm very weak, so I probably can't help you, right?"

"Hmm... It should be to find out the reason, right?" Chiron touched his chin and thought: "It is very strange that the red side suddenly launched an attack on Ruler. Ruler must have wanted to know the reason why they attacked him. You might want to meet in person to understand the reason, right?”

"But, wouldn't that be dangerous?" Fiore, the girl in the wheelchair who is Chiron's master, said worriedly: "No matter what the purpose of the red side is to be hostile to Ruler, if Ruler is allowed to If people go to the red team's base camp, Ruler may face a dangerous situation of one to seven. "

"That's it, Ruler. It's too risky to go to the red side's base camp alone."

Danik spoke. The head of the Yggdmirenia family was also the one who cheated and stole the Holy Grail in the last Holy Grail War and led to this Holy Grail War. If Artoria hadn't understood the other party's character, Just by looking at the other person's expression, she thought that the other person was really worried about her.

"Taking unauthorized action on the referee of this Holy Grail War is undoubtedly a violation of the rules. All of us on the black side are angry about this, so if you insist on going, we are willing to help you."

Artoria took a deep look at Danik, unable to see any flaw in his expression.

Then, she withdrew her gaze and said something that surprised everyone present.

"I already know the reason why the red side is hostile to me."

The master of Assassin on the red side, the white-haired priest, is not actually a human being, but a servant.

Moreover, he was the Ruler in the last Holy Grail War. His real name was Amakusa Shiro Tokisada. He possessed a body due to accidental contact with the Holy Grail, and lived in the world for sixty years hiding his identity until this time. Holy Grail War.

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada is a Japanese saint and the leader of the Shimabara Rebellion. He once led the miserable Shimabara farmers to launch a large-scale rebellion.

His intentions are actually good, and he wants to seek a better life for the people gathered around him, but no matter how hard he tries, he can never change the cruel world, and will inevitably lead to his demise.

Because he witnessed the cruelty of war with his own eyes and watched all 37,000 people around him being killed by the shogunate army, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada came up with the idea of ​​​​saving the world and all mankind after being summoned.

To achieve this goal, the only thing he can use is the Holy Grail known as the "Universal Wishing Machine".

Of course, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada did not directly make a wish to the Holy Grail to realize the "salvation of all mankind." After all, the Holy Grail is, to put it bluntly, a huge source of magic power with the third method [Celestial Cup] as its core. Although it can be called The "omnipotent wishing machine" is definitely not an "omnipotent wishing machine". It also has limits. At least the wish of "relief for all mankind" is impossible.

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's plan is to use the third method of the Holy Grail [Celestial Grail], or [soul materialization], to give all human beings an immortal body.

There will be no more death, no more illness, no more hunger. Amakusa Shiro Tokisada believes that in this way human beings will lose the reason to fight and achieve true world peace.

But to be honest, Artoria didn't think very highly of him.

As the Master of Chaldea, she knows more about this world than anyone else.

Once Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's wish comes true and the "soul materialization" of all mankind is truly achieved, then the world will most likely become "a world that loses the possibility of differences", which is the so-called "cutting phenomenon" or " Lostbelt].

Even Artoria has to admit that Amakusa Shirou Tokisada is a truly noble person. Although his power is not as powerful as most of the followers, in Artoria's eyes, he is stronger than most of the followers. All are dangerous.

Courage, determination, awareness, forbearance, strategy, ruthlessness... Amakusa Shiro Tokisada has all the qualities that a person who achieves great things should have.

Although he lost to Sieg and Joan of Arc in the end, Arturia was more willing to believe that the reason for his failure was actually the arrangement of the suppression force than the so-called "protagonist halo".

The previous conversation with Da Vinci also proved Artoria's suspicion.

In this Holy Grail War, the restraining force also arranged another Ruler.

That one should be Joan of Arc, the "Princess Fair".

A Ruler who is not chosen by the Holy Grail, but appointed by the restraining force.

Including in the original work, Siegfried handed over his spiritual foundation to Sieg. It was most likely done by the restraint force, but none of the parties involved knew it.

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense, but there is no evidence, so these can only remain conjectures.

However, Arturia didn't care about this.

She is very clear about her position. She is just the Ruler of this Holy Grail War. It is her duty to uphold the rules, and everything else has nothing to do with her.

Whether it was to ruin Shiro Amakusa Tokisada's plan or to create obstacles in his inhibitions, she had no idea.

Really, she originally felt that her personality was relatively indifferent and she didn't seem to be very interested in anything... After fusing with Chi Dai's spiritual energy, her symptoms became more serious.

Chapter 182 The ability to see the future? (17/31)

Arturia thought a lot, but she had no intention of telling others about it.

After all, these involve her secrets, which are difficult to explain clearly. Most of them are just her guesses.

"I will have a good talk with the master of the red camp."

Now, most of the masters on the red side should be controlled by Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, right? That's why Karna launched an attack on Artoria without saying a word, because he received the order from Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.

Artoria was a little curious. If Amakusa Shirou Tokisada knew her thoughts and knew that she did not intend to stop his plan, what would the other party plan?

Should he give up being his enemy? After all, his main enemy is still the black side, and his combat power, which is not inferior to Karna, cannot be ignored. If possible, he would definitely hope that there are as few enemies as possible.

Of course, this is only on the surface. Just like a gun will be alerted even if it is on safety, Artoria will definitely be alerted by Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.

Seeing that Artoria seemed to have made some arrangements, Danik and the others could not continue to ask if she needed help, and could only send her blessings.

As for whether the blessing is sincere... no one cares, right?

Artoria nodded to Vlad III, and then turned around to leave.

"Ruler, I have another question, I hope you can give an answer."

Artoria, who had already taken two steps, stopped because of Vlad III's words and turned to look over.

"Do you... want to place a wish on the Holy Grail?"

Vlad III stared straight at Artoria's face, and his deeply sunken eye sockets made his expression even more terrifying.

If a naive little girl looked into the eyes of Vlad III at this moment, she would probably be frightened to the point of bleeding from all seven orifices or even exploding to death by this frightening look.

However, Artoria was obviously not frightened by this mere look.

"No."

There was no confusion or hesitation, as if this answer was a matter of course.

"If you want to ask about the 'wish placed on the Holy Grail', then I can answer you with certainty - no."

After all, there is a Holy Grail in her body at this moment. For her, the Holy Grail that everyone dreams of is not actually very attractive.

"But if your question is 'what wish you want to fulfill'... I will answer 'yes'."

"I also have a wish I want to fulfill, although I can't remember it clearly at the moment... but I clearly remember that I have a wish not as a god but as a human."

"But, that wish... cannot be fulfilled by the Holy Grail, I am sure of that."

After answering this question, Artoria left the main hall without looking back, while Chiron pushed his master away together, because he had to arrange a room for Artoria.

And Vlad III did not stop Artoria again, because he had already got the answer he wanted.

After Artoria and Chiron left, the people present did not leave, but started the next topic.

"Koles."

"Here!"

Koles stood up after hearing Danik's name, and did not show stage fright even though he was stared at by most people present.

"Since you brought Ruler back... then let us hear what you saw and felt."

"Yes!"

The Yugdomrenia family is the owner of this land, so they can monitor the battle between Altria and Karna.

Moreover, they discovered Ruler's arrival earlier than the Red Team, so they could see Ruler earlier than the Red Team's servants.

In the previous battle between Altria and Karna, they also wanted to see every detail of the battlefield clearly, so as to get more information... But this is obviously impossible. The battle at the servant level is too far away for the magician, and most monitoring methods cannot observe that battle, so they want to get information from the only bystander at that time.

So, Corles told his encounter with Altria, the process of the battle, the content of the chat, and the other party's performance in great detail.

Especially Altria's previous statement that only Saber and Lancer on the Black Team can fight Karna, Corles emphasized it and also expressed his own guess.

"The ability to see the future..."

It has to be said that this conjecture of Coles is too shocking.

If this conjecture is true, then Altria is definitely the most difficult enemy, making the people present more afraid of her.

"But...haven't you heard that the legendary King Arthur has the ability to see the future?" Gold wiped his face, his face a little ugly, "If it is King Arthur's court magician, the magician among magicians Merlin, it is normal to have the ability to see the future...but King Arthur has no related anecdotes and legends?"

"I think my conjecture is very likely. After all, we are not facing the real King Arthur, but King Arthur who has been sublimated into a god because of the Holy Spear Longomyniad. If it is a god, it is understandable that he can see things that mortals cannot see."

On the way here, Coles has never stopped thinking, and since he has put forward his conjecture, he naturally has reasons to believe it.

"And if Ruler can really see the future, then that would explain how she knew why the Red team suddenly attacked her... because she 'saw' it with her own eyes."

Gold wanted to refute, because he didn't want to believe this kind of thing either rationally or emotionally, but he couldn't think of a reasonable reason to refute the other party, so he could only look at Danic next to Vlad III with an ugly face.

Perhaps he felt that Danic, who had the highest attainments in magic, would be more convincing? He didn't take Colles, a young magician, seriously at all.

Or, in other words, Gold looked down on everyone except the head of the family, Danic. His pride was the technology of making androids obtained from Einzbern. It can be said that all the androids outside were his work, which made him second only to the head of the family, Danic, in the Yugdomirenia family.

Then, in this Holy Grail War, he also summoned Saber (swordsman), known as the "strongest class", and the dragon-slaying hero Siegfried, which made him overconfident and floated. Even the head of the family, Danic, almost ignored him and thought that he was the winner of this Holy Grail War.

However, he didn't know that his mentality was all seen by Danic.

But Danic didn't bother to care about him. This kind of idiot who couldn't even hide his inner thoughts was the easiest type to control in Danic's view, and it was also the easiest to deal with.
