Seven Hundred and Ninety-Six In the Desire to Shirk Responsibility?

(Thank you very much for the rewards of 'The Song of the End of the World', 'Windless Sky', 'Book Friends from Bent'!)

Saber's words really surprised Noah.

chat?

with myself?

The relationship between Noah and Saber is not good enough to be confided in private.

The relationship between Noah and Saber is, at best, a common front of some kind of cooperation.

Even if they are not considered companions, let alone friends, it is only because of Matou Sakura's relationship that they have come together and acted together.

Under such circumstances, Saber would take the initiative to chat with herself in private, Noah was quite surprised.

Of course, accidents are accidents, but Noah has no reason to refuse.

"It doesn't matter to me, but is there any problem with you?"

Through the hands of Illya, Saber started to sign a contract with Tohsaka Rin and Matou Sakura from the daytime.

Now, is it done?

"Ilyasviel's attainment in magic is indeed quite amazing." Saber gave such a sentence directly.

"I've definitely received magic power from Rin."

Hearing this, Noah didn't ask much, and directly opened the privilege of r to check Saber's ability value.

...

Class: saber

Master: Matou Sakura (summoning), Tohsaka Rin (actual demon provider)

Real name: Artoria Pendragon

Attribute: Order? Good

Ability value----

Muscle strength: a

durable: b

Agility: a

Magic: a

lucky: a

Noble Phantasm: a++

...

immediately.

A rather considerable ability value was converted into data and flowed into Noah's mind, allowing Noah to clearly know what state Saber is in now.

Although the current Saber is not as strong as the magic power provided by "Avalon" after Noah replenished the magic power. But the difference is also negligible.

In this state, Saber's combat power can be displayed at 100%.

Under Noah's gaze, Saber walked into the room slowly, and also came to the window, but instead of looking at Noah, she looked at the night sky outside the window.

"Actually, ever since I found out that 'Avalon' recognizes you as the master. I've always been curious, how did you become the master of 'Avalon'?"

It can be heard from Saber's words. Saber really cares about this issue quite a lot.

Noah didn't answer immediately, but, like Saber, also looked out at the night sky, as if recalling the scene of the day when he got "Avalon". Said lightly.

"same as you."

"Same?" Saber repeated in a questioning tone.

"what does it mean?"

"Didn't you get the holy sword and scabbard from the elf of the lake?" Noah neither concealed nor said such an extremely profound response.

"Like you, I also got 'Avalon' from someone else."

There should be more or less perfunctory elements in such an answer, right?

But just like what Noah said, Saber also got the holy sword and "Avalon" from the lake elf.

Therefore, Saber understood better than anyone that this answer was actually enough.

"Really?" Saber's eyes looking at the night sky became gentle.

"You have also been blessed by others..."

bless.

It is indeed a blessing.

Because the Noble Phantasm called "Avalon" possesses extreme protection power.

If someone gave such a treasured treasure as a gift, besides wishing that the other party could be protected from the bottom of his heart, what other reason would he have?

therefore. Saber, who was also blessed by the Spirit of the Lake, can understand the weight of these words.

It's a pity that, like Noah, Saber also lost the scabbard that represents protection and blessing.

the difference is. Noah, who lost the scabbard, rescued Matou Sakura by chance and found the scabbard again.

But Saber, because of the loss of the scabbard, lost the power of protection, and fell to a tragic death.

"Since you have found it again, don't lose it again." Saber's tone became quite distant. These words are as strong as hard work.

"Next time. Maybe it won't be so easy to get back."

Hearing this, Noah did not answer, but after being silent for a while, he asked such a question.

"Hey, Saber, you will respond to Sakura's call, what is the reason for participating in the "Holy Grail War"?"

Saber also fell silent immediately, making the atmosphere of the scene quite heavy all of a sudden.

After a long time, Saber gave an answer in a resolute tone.

"I hope to get the 'Holy Grail'."

Saber actually gave the most popular reason.

"Get the Holy Grail?" Noah asked in confusion.

"In other words, do you have any wishes that you want to achieve through the Holy Grail?"

"Yes." Saber said without any hesitation.

"I hope the 'Holy Grail' will do it all over again."

Saber's words made Noah's mind flash about the life of the legendary Knight King.

The King of Knights named Artoria was the King of Britain, the child of King Uther before he became a king.

Although she is a descendant of the king, Artoria is a girl, destined not to inherit the throne.

However, after the death of King Uther, the British knights hoped to elect a new king through the famous sword of choosing the king -- the sword in the stone.

Under such circumstances, Arturia, who concealed her true gender, pulled out the sword of the king's election stuck in the stone without hesitation under the watchful eyes of everyone, and has since become the king of Britain.

After inheriting the throne, Artoria made countless feats and won twelve major battles in a row in ten years, making Britain stronger than ever.

However, during this period, because of a duel that violated chivalry, Arturia's sword in the stone broke and completely disappeared in the long river of history.

It was for this reason that Arturia came to the holy lake and got the holy sword and scabbard from the lake elf, but later, she accidentally lost the scabbard.

Taking the loss of the scabbard as an opportunity, the unprecedentedly powerful Great Britain began to perish.

Just as Arturia led the expedition, the knights in Great Britain took the opportunity to lead the army to rebel.

In this rebellious battle, Artoria was seriously injured and fell down.

This is the battle that led to the demise of Great Britain - the Battle of Jianlan.

The legend of the King of Knights came to an end here.

"I can't prevent the destruction of the kingdom, I am an incompetent king."

As if restarting the already ended legend, Saber closed her eyes, and the voice came into Noah's ears.

"If I get the "Holy Grail", I hope that the "Holy Grail" can fulfill my wish and prevent me from drawing the sword in the stone and becoming the king. I should not be the king. The person who drew the sword at that time should not be Me, but someone else is right."

As soon as the words fell, an extremely depressing atmosphere filled the scene.

Noah's brows were already deeply wrinkled.

"In other words, you're going to pass the buck, aren't you?"

"Shirk responsibility?" Saber reacted, also frowned, and looked at Noah.

"What does this sentence mean?"

"What do you mean? It means literally!" Noah let go of his frowning brows and sighed.

"Sorry, I probably can't understand your wish."

"..." Saber raised her willow eyebrows, and looked closely at Noah.

"Let me hear your reasons."

"Since ancient times, no country has been able to last forever, right?" Noah met Saber's gaze.

"The prosperity must decline, and the decline must perish. This can be said to be the foundation of the natural law. As the king of a country, while shouldering the glory of making contributions, he must also bear the responsibility of destroying the country, just like life. Similarly, you received glory enough to make the whole world tremble during your lifetime, and you were obviously proud of being a knight or a king, but you just chose glory instead of taking on your sins. Isn’t this shirking responsibility? "

Noah's short words, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, shocked Saber's beautiful eyes to their maximum, staring at Noah in a daze, unable to recover for a long time. (to be continued)
