Chapter 442 Each of Them Set Out, Lion Jie's Dream
Chapter 443: Everyone sets off, the dream of Lion Tribulation
A name is the shortest curse in the world.
Just like what Seimei said to Minamoto Boya in "Onmyoji", the shortest curse in the world is 'name'.
Name means existence; from nameless to famous is the process from nothing to possession.
Whoever you believe you are, you are likely to become; if you continue to define a certain 'name' for your future, your future will be affected by this curse and develop in that direction.
Such a philosophical theory is also applicable to the android girl, Sieg. Since she admires the great hero and chooses to imitate his name, it means that Sieg's life is destined to be extraordinary.
In the original work, the artificial man who inherited this name returned to the battlefield, and eventually transformed into a dragon, bringing the Great Holy Grail to the inside of the Holy Grail. Is it also because of the influence of this name? "
Sakatsuki didn't know, but since he was determined to treat her as a pawn to mess up Black, he shouldn't have given her a name.
Perhaps it was a closed loop of fate. In the short period of time he left, the android girl became Sieg again under the guidance of Joan of Arc.
Looking at Qi Ge with silver hair and red eyes and a delicate face, Shuo Yue sighed helplessly and said straight to the point: "I plan to leave."
He and Lingxia had already made preparations to lure both the red and black parties to Sighisoara. As the mastermind behind the scenes, it was time for him to set out to coordinate the overall situation.
"But Sieg, you can't go with me next."
The artificial man opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Shuo Yue: "Don't forget, you are the master of the black side now, and I, as the red side's camp, am hostile."
"Wait a minute." Jeanne sounded wrong, "Zig hasn't decided to go to Black yet, has she? Did she just escape from there?"
However, as soon as Jeanne finished speaking, the artificial man raised his hand and said weakly:
"Well, Miss Joan of Arc, I thought about it and decided to go back."
"Why?" Joan was in disbelief, "You have already achieved a stable life? This village will not be affected by the war of the Holy Grail War. You can even use that place as a springboard to travel to other countries and travel the world. , but why..."
Why choose to return to the cruel battlefield?
"Because my wish is there. Facing the judge's gaze, the android named 'Zig' lowered his eyes and stared at the command spell on the back of his hand. "I know that as long as I take one step forward, I can do it. Get days like that. You can survive, you can gain something, or you can find hope in it. "
It was for this step that a hero healed himself, and a hero gave her life and walked side by side with him.
Everything is leading up to this step.
However, in the process of pursuing freedom, the artificial man discovered that he had been changed unknowingly.
"I feel sorry for the heroes who saved me, but my wish is not just to survive."
As Siege said this, she thought of the compatriots Shuo Yue mentioned to her on the road.
Existing as consumables, facing meaningless death as if this is their only way back...
"Soaked in the rotten juice, you can only be worried all day long. Death is a certain event in the future, which is common to all living things, but if it is stipulated that nothing can be done even in the process of reaching death, then it is really It’s so unreasonable and so sad.”
It was unimaginable that Sieg, who technically only had a few days to live, would speak his thoughts so frankly in front of Joan of Arc and Shuo Yue.
"Just as I was saved by Rider, I will also save them. In that case, I feel that even if I reunite with Rider and the others, I will feel free from guilt. I can stand tall and say that I helped everyone who is seeking freedom——"
"Besides that, you also want to reunite with Black Rider, right?"
Joan of Arc stared at Sieg intently and saw the shy smile she showed after mentioning Rider.
Ah, how could she ignore the most basic emotions of a human being?
"The longing for that girl knight (note: the title is correct)... is such a precious emotion.
Joan of Arc, who was talking to herself like this, could not help but darken her face.
This is not what Astolfo, the Black Rider, wants the android to do, right? However, putting aside unnecessary emotions, she is running in this Holy Grail War as a Ruler.
"In this case, I will not stop your actions, Miss Sieg. You are born to be associated with this Holy Grail War. Of course, I hope to respect your intentions and hope that you will be rewarded in your future actions. wish.”
Having said this, Jeanne turned her head and looked at Shuo Yue, who was smiling with satisfaction, and couldn't help but pout.
"As for Mr. Shuoyue...why are you smiling so happily?"
Naturally, it’s because Sieg’s actions are in line with my expectations... Shuo Yue put away the expression on her face and looked at the artificial man who was about to set off seriously: "Since you have made up your mind, as a teacher, let me Let’s teach you another lesson.”
The afternoon sun was warm and warm. The young man stood in the shadow outlined by the house and whispered softly:
"You need to make your status clear, Sieg. You are not the protagonist who saves the world, but a pioneer who stands up for the survival of artificial humans. That's all."
"Life is not special. Once we stand on the battlefield, we are also likely to be consumed."
"Don't die before your wish is fulfilled, Sieg." Shuoyue looked at the command seal on the back of the android's hand and said meaningfully, "Hold the power in your hands, so that you have the qualification to stand on the field."
————
Sieg went out. He will go to the black side to save his compatriots.
Jeanne left. As a judge, she was destined to move towards the place where the heroic spirits gathered.
And Shuoyue, after bidding farewell to old man Celshu, also took a step and headed towards Sighisoara.
But at the end of the road, the young man looked back with a sense of feeling. What happened in the small house still fluttered like a beautiful butterfly, stirring up a storm in his calm heart.
"A lovely and easy-to-bully saint..."
He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, and then wiped it away with dissatisfaction. The ruthless and indifferent assassin lifted his black robe, and the white and golden spirits floated away, and disappeared in a moment.
Along with the wound that has never healed.
And even Shuoyue didn't know that this morning, a mercenary who had experienced blood and fire had a dream.
In the dream, he saw Great Britain in the distant old times.
Participants in the Holy Grail War usually have dreams, probably because there is a deep spiritual connection between the Master and the Servant.
They read each other's past in the form of dreams. This phenomenon often occurred in the Third Holy Grail War and the Subspecies Holy Grail War.
——So, even if Shizi Jiejieli found himself on the battlefield suddenly, he was not surprised at all.
"... Well, this situation will also happen."
This should be the past of his Servant Mordred. When he came to his senses, she was standing beside him. In her hand was her favorite weapon that was also used in this Holy Grail War - the shining and shining sword of the king (Clarente).
Originally, this was not her weapon. This was a sword that belonged to King Arthur and was kept in the armory. It could be called a symbol of the throne.
Mordred took the sword, declared herself king, and triggered a large-scale rebellion. Now, she held it in her hand and challenged King Arthur alone.
"So, this is Camlann?"
Yes, this is Camlann Hill - the battlefield where the rebellious knight Mordred and King Arthur had their final battle. The gorgeous knight story ended with this tragic war.
The arrows shot pierced the soldiers wearing light armor. But Mordred, who was covered in steel, ignored all the attacks and rushed forward blindly.
King Arthur unified Great Britain with his unparalleled leadership. But why did so many soldiers support Mordred's rebellion?
The great cause of unification was about to be completed, and the war-weariness in the country spread - this was one of the reasons.
The scandal between Lancelot, the "Knight of the Lake" who was praised as perfect, and Queen Guinevere led to the collapse of the king's authority - this was one of the reasons.
The knights have a strange fear and even slander towards the king who is too honest and has no private feelings - this is one of the reasons.
However, there is another point, that is the knight who rebelled against the royal power.
Staring at the battlefield, Lion Jie knew very well that Mordred's fighting style was very barbaric. The swordsmanship that the knights were proud of was as fragile as a dead branch in front of her.
It was like letting instinct drive, but it was the most appropriate and efficient killing method. The morale of the soldiers following behind her was also very high. It was a melody that expressed human instinct. The steps forward made a magnificent sound like a huge drum.
—— Just like a natural disaster like a tornado.
Her strength is undoubted truth, and her strength contains a little madness. But on the battlefield, this madness is the most praiseworthy existence.
As strong as a monster, sweeping the enemy like a storm. The soldiers followed her back like crazy.
—— Where can this crazy warrior go? I really want to witness it all.
The fanatical belief in the "new king" was the motivation of the soldiers. However, no matter how high their morale was, their strength was still limited. The number of soldiers decreased one by one, and one hundred, one thousand were annihilated one after another.
Mordred never looked back. As long as she won, the soldiers - no, people would naturally increase. It seemed to her that this was the case.
Under the beast-like sword, the bodies of the miscellaneous soldiers piled up like a mountain, but Mordred didn't take them seriously at all. She only cared about her father - King Arthur, only one person.
"Where is King Arthur! Where is the Knight King!!"
The roar of the rebellious knights echoed for a long time on the hill of Camlann.
So, the holy Knight King appeared as expected.
