Chapter 434 Teachings on Freedom and Happiness
Chapter 435 Teachings of Freedom and Happiness
Joan of Arc and Artoria left. In the royal room, Danik looked at Vlad III.
"Lord, are you going to let her go like this?"
"Let him go?" The Grand Duke on the throne laughed, and the sound was like a fire burning in the shadows. "Danick, maybe you have never met such a person in your life?"
The Lord of the Thousand Realms Tree, Darnic, has been wandering around in intrigues and desires all his life. How can the people attracted by his destiny be noble or even innocent?
Wasn't even Vlad III himself a gambler lying in the mud of misery, struggling to reach out to the wish machine?
"But... I know that such people exist."
Dazzling and sacred, they are the light that walks on the bloody battlefield, and they are the fallen white wings of the Lord that redeem the miserable world.
How could such a person be bound by desire-ridden people like them?
Ah, if there had been such a person to govern the country with me, maybe I, maybe Wallachia wouldn't have...
"Oh God……"
Chewing on the loss and envy in his heart, the former Grand Duke of Wallachia prayed lowly, and only he knew the mood contained in it.
————
In the heavily guarded city fortress, two figures walked side by side.
One is a young adjudicator with a saintly appearance wearing a silver skirt and armor; the other is an assassin hidden in a cloak, whose stature is almost the same as that of his companions.
"Excuse me, you seem to be very curious about me...?"
More than once, Jeanne d'Arc noticed the scrutinizing eyes around her. She turned her head and looked at the black-robed assassin frankly. Her body trembled, shocked that her blatant voyeurism was exposed, but she still concluded. stammered:
“Well, well, I want to ask you a question.
"Of course, please tell me." For some reason, Joan was very fond of the assassin's voice.
"The thing is like this..." Artoria organized her words and told everything about what happened after capturing the red Berserker Spartacus.
The Black Rider who firmly believes in his own morality and escapes with the androids; the Black Saber who sounds far from a hero story, almost like a saint; the conspirator who suddenly appears and lends a helping hand to the dying person... ...Then, the nameless girl (artificial human) who was saved by them was finally taken away by the conspirators and embarked on his own journey of freedom.
"Do you think she will be happy? Even from the beginning to the end, it was us heroes who were doing everything wrong. It was we who rescued her from a small cage (Black), but then locked her into a larger cage (Holy Grail War)... …”
"I understand how you feel. If you are right, then she is purely a victim. As long as she does not want it, no one should interfere too much with his actions."
"But what if Shuo... what if the conspirator instilled faith in her and prompted the child to return to the cruel battlefield?"
"Then it depends on what the servant who took away the artificial man was thinking. Whether his belief is good or bad, I think we can only judge it by personally witnessing it, right?"
For Joan of Arc, what she cares about most at the moment is of course the young man in black robe who suddenly appeared. That is the key to her 'revelation', and it is also what the Lord told her in the dark, to 'save' this... An important factor in the Holy Grail War.
Thinking of this, Jeanne looked at the black Assassin who had experienced the whole process. Her amethyst-like eyes seemed to be able to speak, shining in the dim corridor.
"So...tell me, where did they go?"
That was the news that Arturia was not allowed to leak because of Shuo Yue's three orders.
Since the thought transformation of artificial humans is to be carried out, it should be done thoroughly. Joan of Arc Darhk, who truly led the artificial humans in the original work, naturally should not appear in front of Shuo Yue.
However, recalling what her Master had done before, Artoria hesitated for a long time, then sighed bitterly and spoke with difficulty:
"They walked toward the mountain road, and there was a small village there."
————
She felt her heart beating.
The blood flowed in the blood vessels and passed to the limbs and bones. She felt the breathing in her lungs, and then she smelled the cool smell of the night and heard the rhythm of the distant earth.
She felt her hands, and then her feet again.
The fear of dying became clear again, and the android opened its bright red pupils exactly like Einzbern, panting violently, spitting out the death and pain remaining in his lungs, and breathing in the vitality of the forest oxygen. Uncontrollably, he let out a low moan.
She is still alive and functioning like a normal person.
"Oh, I finally woke up."
Someone spoke in her ear, and the android realized that she was being carried on someone's back. During the constant and steady movement, air began to flow, turning into a breeze and brushing her cheek.
"Ah..." He made a painless sound. The android was stunned and forgot all about what he wanted to say.
She never imagined that breathing in and out would bring her such comfort.
After enjoying the trivial things for a long time, the artificial man spoke again: "Thank you..."
"No need to thank me." The young man carrying her was unexpectedly cold, "I am not qualified to accept your thanks. Only after understanding this can we continue to communicate."
"Oh..." The android nodded as if he understood, but soon remembered something else, "Where is Rider? Where is she (note that the person here is correct)."
"He returned to his own camp. Although he rescued you, Rider, as a servant summoned by the black side, still has to run and fight for the Holy Grail War until this life is burned out."
Do you feel mocking this way of survival? A sneer flashed at the corner of the young man's mouth:
"Including the black Saber who knocked the master unconscious and wanted to take out his heart to save you. He is also destined to become a victim of this Holy Grail War."
The black side, the Holy Grail War, Saber and Rider...
Although he only knew a little about the information revealed by Shuoyue, it was natural that the android's heart seemed to be tightly strangled by something, and he felt a sharp pain.
"This feeling..."
"This feeling is called sadness. Remember, this is another emotion you have learned besides the pain of dying." The young man's tone was still calm and playful. "These two emotions will accompany you throughout your life until you die."
After a long silence, the android whispered: "Is life always so painful?"
"Always." Even when talking about gloomy topics, Shuoyue's steps were still firm and never stopped. "Even if the heroes tried their best to let you get freedom, what are you going to do after that?"
"What to do?" The android was at a loss.
"If I have to say, it's probably about my ideal life." The young man replied, "Although everyone's path is different, we have to take steps after all. What do you want to get and where do you want to go? This is a proposition for lifelong exploration."
After listening to Shuoyue's words, the android tilted his head and thought seriously: "I don't really want anything... I just want to live well."
Spend a happy life?
Shuoyue stopped, put the android down, stared at her tender and pure eyes, rubbed the android's silver hair after a while, and sighed helplessly.
"It's very difficult." The young man said, "It will be very difficult for you."
More difficult than immortality, more troublesome than building a hegemony, more luxurious than money and beauty, the so-called happy life has been more unattainable than the sky garden from the beginning.
What's more, the back of the android's hand has been printed with the command seal. Even if she avoids talking about it, the shadow of war will find her sooner or later. After all, this is her "destiny".
But obviously, although the gender has changed, the character of the android is still as stubborn as in the original work: "Then let me try, I can't disappoint Rider and Saber's hopes."
"Really? Then you have a lot to learn."
"... Can you please teach me?"
"Of course." Shuoyue raised the corner of his mouth, took a step, and motioned the android to follow.
"This is the obligation entrusted to me by Astolfo and others."
