I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Even if he summoned the strongest class Saber, it would be the same.

Chapter 183 Fiore who worships King Arthur

"We cannot guess the vision of the gods. We humans understand the gods as 'the embodiment of natural phenomena'. They are higher than Heroic Spirits and Elves, the most advanced mystery... We don't know to what extent King Arthur has become a god, so we have no way of knowing whether she can do things like 'observe the future'."

Danik's thoughts, in short, are "I don't know".

Since the end of the Age of Gods, the gods have long disappeared from the human vision. For modern magicians, Heroic Spirits are already extremely advanced mysteries, not to mention gods above Heroic Spirits.

The existence of the goddess Altria is simply challenging the worldview of all magicians present... But the reality is already in front of them, and they can only choose to accept it.

Fortunately, the magicians present were basically outliers among magicians, so their acceptance ability was much better than that of ordinary magicians. If they were orthodox magicians, the kind of magicians who were purely pursuing the [Root], they would probably go completely crazy because of the existence of the gods... No, the existence of the heroic spirit alone could make those orthodox magicians lose their minds.

Danik's meaning was easy to understand. Without basis and evidence, a bunch of people guessing here would not make any progress and would only waste time.

"Even if Ruler really has the ability to see the future, it only proves that her importance is greater than we imagined, and it adds another reason for us to build a good relationship with the other party. What we have to do is no different from before, and we all try to maintain a very good relationship with Ruler, or prevent her from building a good relationship with the Red Team."

"And the good news is that although we don't know the reason, the Red Team's actions will definitely make Ruler feel bad, which is definitely a great thing for us. It can be said that fate is on our side."

Danik's words were agreed by everyone, so the discussion about Altria could be roughly over.

But at this moment, Astolfo suddenly raised his hand because he thought of a question.

"Speaking of which... if Ruler can really see the future, then is it possible that our discussion here can be seen by her?"

Everyone: "..."

The strange silence made the atmosphere around suddenly heavier.

"Ahem! This possibility cannot be ruled out..."

Danik coughed and felt a little embarrassed.

"We don't intend to make enemies with Ruler, so... it doesn't matter if she sees this discussion... No, it's better to say that if she sees it, it will be beneficial to us, at least it can make her understand the goodwill we convey, and it will also facilitate our subsequent negotiations..."

Danik put on an attitude that everything is under control, as if he was not embarrassed just now.

"Okay, let's start the next discussion..."

The next thing to talk about is about another Ruler.

The black side not only invited Altria to come, but also invited another Ruler, Jeanne, and the people sent out were Gold and his servant Siegfried.

But obviously, the invitation failed and was rejected by Jeanne, because she wanted to remain absolutely neutral as a referee.

Like Corles, Gold also encountered a red servant who wanted to kill Ruler, and the other party found Ruler before him.

So, Siegfried fought with the red Rider.

However, unlike Gold's imagination of Siegfried's unparalleled power, Siegfried was suppressed by the other party? !

This is normal, because Siegfried's opponent is Achilles, the great hero second only to Hercules in Greek mythology.

The fastest foot speed among humans - [Comet Run A+], and the immortal body obtained by dipping in the Styx - [The Immortal Flower of the Brave B], these two treasures make Achilles invincible.

Siegfried can fight on par with the opponent, which has proved his extraordinary strength, but Gold does not understand this.

He thinks Siegfried is letting him go, so he orders the other party to get serious and quickly deal with him, but the battle situation has not changed at all.

He wanted Jeanne to fight with Siegfried, but Jeanne refused because as a Ruler she did not intend to favor either side.

Finally, because it was almost dawn, although Achilles felt that he did not fight well, he still retreated angrily under the order of the Master.

Jeanne also refused Gold's invitation and left alone.

Gold, who felt embarrassed because he did not complete the task, had to return empty-handed with Siegfried.

The people in the King's Hall started discussing again. This time the topic of discussion was the Ruler Jeanne and the identity of the red Rider.

The ability to suppress Siegfried made them very wary of the other party, especially the immortality shown by the other party, which made people feel extremely difficult. If the weakness of this immortality is not found, there is no way to make a countermeasure.

The perfect immortality does not exist, otherwise why would it die and become a heroic spirit?

And to find the weakness of this immortality, the first thing to do is to know the other party's real name.

This is the focus of this discussion.

Of course, Artoria was completely uninterested in what they discussed.

After leaving the main hall, Artoria was taken by Chiron to the room prepared by Black.

On the way, Arturia could feel that Chiron's master, Fiore, who was sitting in a wheelchair, would look at her from time to time, but would soon look away again.

"What's the matter? Master of Archer."

"Eh?!"

Fiore let out a very cute exclamation. She didn't look like the kind of magician who would do anything before achieving her goal, but more like the shy girl next door.

"Is...is it that obvious?"

"It's obvious, Master." Chiron's tone sounded a bit like teasing, "It's as obvious as a kitten holding its head in a small hole but leaving its lower body exposed."

"Huh? Wasn't it embarrassing for me just now? Archer, you should remind me! It's a shame I was so nervous for so long..."

Fiore's face turned red and she looked a little embarrassed.

"So, is something going on?"

"Ah, no...how should I put it..."

Fiore patted her chest and said a little cautiously: "Are you a little nervous...because you met your idol?"

"I... I have admired King Arthur since a long time ago. After all, he is the ideal king, so... I didn't expect to see him today. I'm a little surprised."

Chapter 184 I heard that you want to see Merlin?

The longing in Fiore's words cannot be deceived. After all, King Arthur's status in the hearts of Westerners is indeed different, especially in the eyes of magicians in the other world. The significance of the last king at the end of the Age of Gods must be extraordinary. .

However, Artoria felt nothing.

Let's not say that she is not the real King Arthur...or that she is not completely King Arthur. Even if the person standing here is the real King Arthur, she probably won't have any special feelings.

After all, he is the most ideal king who dedicates everything to his country and his people.

"So...are you disappointed?"

Artoria asked suddenly, which made Fiore stunned for a moment, but she quickly realized what she was doing and waved her hands in panic.

"Eh? No, no, no! How could it be possible... I think Miss Artoria is amazing! Just like the King Arthur I imagined."

"Why?"

Arturia began to be puzzled, "It's probably just our first meeting, and we probably don't know each other very well. Why do you respect me so much?"

"Uh...this..."

Fiore was suddenly speechless.

"Sometimes, if you want to see someone clearly, all it takes is one meeting."

Chiron suddenly spoke, which could be regarded as a solution for his Master, "It can be said to be a feeling, intuition, or an idea. Although it is baseless, Ruler, you should also know... Intuition is there In some cases, it is closer to reality than seeing it with your own eyes or hearing it with your own ears.”

"Yes! What's that? A woman's intuition!"

Fiore also took Chiron's words very well.

Speaking of which, Artoria, who is in the Saber (Swordsman) class, also has a skill called [Intuition], which has saved her life in danger again and again. Does this count as "woman's intuition"? Something like that?

"And...and...don't your various deeds also prove your integrity? For example, that round table."

A seemingly ordinary round table, but it has an extraordinary status in the legend of King Arthur, because it truly displays "equality" and "justice", and it still gathered most of the noble people of that era. symbol.

As long as they come to the round table, everyone is equal. Even King Arthur, as the king, must discuss with everyone here and gain their approval instead of acting arbitrarily.

There is no level of power, no level of force. It can be said that the round table is the earliest symbol of "equality" and "democracy". It is undoubtedly epoch-making in a world where monarchy is still prevalent.

Although old FGO players generally call it the dining table...

Artoria didn't take Fiore's praise seriously because she really didn't feel that she had done something extraordinary.

She always ignores the great things she does and only focuses on the things she doesn't do well. This kind of character makes her become better and better, and also makes the burden on her shoulders become heavier and heavier.

"I just did what I was supposed to do, and it doesn't deserve such praise." Artoria shook her head and said: "Also, although I don't know how future generations will evaluate me, but... legend There is definitely a deviation from reality.”

"For example, your real gender is actually a girl?"

"That's Merlin's little magic, because if you want to become a king, being a girl will be very troublesome."

"Oh! I know that Merlin is the legendary court magician who assisted King Arthur and the sage who guarded the Tower of Paradise." When mentioning Merlin, Fiore looked particularly excited, "Ah... I really don't know. What kind of person is he? It would be great if we could meet him. However, the legendary King Arthur is actually a girl, so Merlin must also be a woman, right? "

Female Merlin? Mellie?

It seems that there is indeed a Meili in her Chaldea.

"Well...actually, I'd also like to meet you."

Chiron touched his chin, and his approachable smile was a bit concerned. "Being able to teach such an outstanding king as King Arthur, I always feel that I and that person will have a lot to talk about in terms of teaching people."

If you really meet Merlin, the imagination in your mind will most likely collapse directly.

The chat process was very pleasant, and Artoria felt that her humanity was slowly recovering, which was a pleasant surprise.

Artoria stood at the door of the room, Fiore waved goodbye to her in a wheelchair, and Chiron smiled and nodded. The chat with Artoria also made them feel happy.

The room prepared by the black side for her was naturally the best. Although the Yugdomirenia family, as a magician family, was not valued by the Magic Association, it was because this family had always relied on absorbing foreign magicians to maintain its status. This method was regarded as a laughing stock by the Magic Association that valued inheritance, but the Yugdomirenia family was not short of money. After all, the head of the family, Danik, was very special. He became a "crown magician" by political means, so he naturally had no shortage of funds and means.

Everything in the room is the best, whether it is the carpet, bed, or chandelier. These ordinary people's things are the most unnecessary for a magician.

Altria reached out and touched the white bed quilt. Although she couldn't name the brand, it was indeed very comfortable to touch... She was worried that it would be too comfortable and she would not sleep well.

But thinking carefully, the servants didn't need to sleep, so she didn't seem to need to worry about these.

In the room, Altria didn't feel like she was being spied on. She didn't know, because the people on the black side suspected that she had a pair of very special eyes, so they didn't dare to use various means to spy on her, fearing that they would leave a bad impression on her.

However, even if Altria knew, she probably wouldn't care.

She had a basic understanding of all the people on the black side, so their flattery and disguise were actually meaningless from the beginning.

Altria currently has no goal, but just wants to fulfill her duties as a Ruler and maintain the order and rules of the Holy Grail War.

Of course, there are basically no rules in the Holy Grail War. To put it bluntly, it is a battle royale. When only one person is left, the final winner will have the opportunity to make a wish to the Holy Grail.

If we have to find a rule... then it is probably only "secretly conducted".

But the result is that almost every Holy Grail War will cause a big commotion, resulting in "it is well known that the Holy Grail War is conducted in secret" becoming a meme.

For example, the Marshal's super-sea demon, the Assyrian Queen's sky castle, and so on.

In fact, these are all she has to take care of.

Oh, by the way, I almost forgot about Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.

So, this Ruler who participated in the Holy Grail War as a master... is it considered a violation of the rules?

Chapter 185: Thank you to Avisbron

The battles in the Holy Grail War usually take place late at night. At this time, many ordinary people have fallen asleep, and it is difficult for anyone to find that there are heroes from the past fighting nearby.

It was morning when Altria came to the black side's castle, and now it is afternoon.

Anyway, she didn't have anything important to do, so she stayed here for a day and planned to leave at night.

Then, because she found that getting along with people could help restore her humanity, she wanted to get in touch with more people.

Although the gradual recovery of humanity would in turn suppress her divinity and affect her strength, she still insisted on doing so. After all, she didn't want to become the Lion King. If her humanity was completely suppressed by her divinity, she might no longer be herself.

However, the people on the black side... it would be a bit euphemistic to say that they were difficult to get along with.

Needless to say, those soulless androids, the head of the family, Danik, was too scheming, Vlad III was not a good person to chat with, Gold was too arrogant, Siegfried was a dull person, Astolfo's master, Serenike, was a pervert, tying Astolfo up in the basement all day and night to do some unspeakable things, Frankenstein couldn't speak, Corles was also very vigilant, and Avisbron and his master were always busy making puppets.

In the end, only Chiron and Fiona were suitable.

Fortunately, Fiona also likes to chat with her, and the other people on the black side seem to be happy about this, perhaps because they think it is easier to improve their favorability.

After leaving Fiora's room, Altria met an unexpected person on the road.

He was wearing very strange blue and black striped clothes, a very large cloak, and a mask on his face. His whole body was covered tightly, making people wonder if he was a robot.

The black side's Caster (magician), Avisbron.

When Altria saw Avisbron, he also saw her.
