Chapter 243 The Return of the Knight King
"King! King! King!"
The cheers of his subordinates and the laughter of his subjects made the king on the high platform chuckle.
"We will win this battle!"
She is back.
She once again ruled Great Britain.
This time, with the Holy Lance raised, Great Britain will finally be glorious!
"Did she succeed?"
Weber was trembling with fear.
Although he didn't understand who Altria had signed a contract with, he was able to use the Holy Grail to travel through time and space and change history.
But, at present.
It seems that nothing has changed in his memory.
Great Britain is still heading for destruction, and the British Empire is finally the afterglow of the setting sun.
So, did she fail?
Even if there is a chance to change history, there is still no way to reverse the fate of the anchor.
Or is it because of the protection of the gods that he can maintain his original memory.
Now the outside world is already the world of the British Empire? !
"She succeeded halfway."
Luke said.
"She returned to her own timeline and changed the fate of a small area, thus opening up a new timeline."
"New timeline?"
"Is it because of the Holy Lance?"
The King of Conquerors touched his chin and pondered.
After Saber's identity was exposed, some obvious information was basically exposed.
According to the "Legend of King Arthur", King Arthur used the Holy Lance to kill the rebellious knight Mordred at Camlann Hill.
And now, before Saber was sent away, this god reminded her to choose the Holy Lance.
Is it because the Holy Lance can bring a better ending?
The perspective of God is far beyond the scope of what mortals can understand.
He should have seen the better past.
That's why he reminded her.
Just like the revelation of the gods to mortals in the past age of gods.
He, the King of Conquerors, understood this matter.
If Zeus had not left the earth, it is estimated that Iskandar would be promoted to one of the gods sooner or later.
"Wait until she comes back, and ask her, and you'll know?"
"She can come back?!"
Weber was a little surprised.
"Didn't I say that she was only halfway successful, and she will return to Valhalla in the end."
As he spoke, the golden light shone again.
The King of Conquerors looked up.
The golden hair draped over his shoulders, and his pair of emerald green eyes were calm, as if nothing could touch this dazzling king.
The gorgeous armor of white and gold showed a noble and majestic temperament.
She has grown up.
In any sense, this knight king has grown up.
Enough to gather people's hearts.
The legendary King Arthur stopped developing after he drew out the holy sword, and he stayed at the age of 15 forever.
However, if Altria's usual weapon was not the sword in the lake, but the holy spear.
What would happen?
Luke smiled.
"How?"
The saint-like king also smiled, breaking the majestic impression just now, but adding a "human" breath to her.
"We have always been together."
"Yes, I thought you would be completely assimilated."
Luke praised.
There are also multiple paths in the timeline of picking up the Holy Lance.
If she takes a wrong step, it may not be her who comes.
Altria shook her head.
"I have a chance to start over again. Too much greed will only lead Great Britain to destruction."
She picked up the Holy Lance.
Walked on a more difficult road.
Fortunately, she succeeded.
She developed naturally and her mind became calmer and more mature. She eventually grew into a more perfect king who was more in line with the concept of human beings.
However, she also kept in mind the revelation told by the god before.
If the normal historical process deviates greatly, the whole world will be cut into the Lost Belt by human reason and perish.
So, she changed her wish as she became more mature.
She did not choose to force the whole country with her personal will, and then lead the whole world to doomsday.
The grown-up Altria is more in line with the concept of "Holy King".
Therefore, she was more tolerant of civilians.
Although she eventually experienced the Battle of Camlann, she finally chose to let go, returned the Holy Spear, and became a Heavenly Heroic Spirit who returned to the earth.
Let the destined destruction turn into a peaceful destruction.
This is what she can do, and it is the only thing she can do.
Luke was quite satisfied with this.
Plant a King of Dai Mao, and harvest a White Spear Dai.
"Have you thought about what to do next?"
Luke was still smiling.
The White Spear Dai was willing to come here instead of choosing to return to Valhalla directly.
It has proved her idea.
"My duty as a king is over."
So, it's time for me to experience the fun of being a human.
Luke made an invitation
"Walk with me? There are still many rare scenery in this endless parallel universe."
"It's an honor."
Luke smiled.
"My Lord God, then we will leave first, goodbye!"
The Conqueror King drove the ox cart and hurriedly left here with the panicked Weber.
Kenneth opened his mouth to say something.
He was originally thinking about whether the two groups should go together.
But, from the looks of it, the King of Conquerors seems to have other ideas.
A heroic spirit living in modern times.
Hmm. Those people in the Clock Tower will have a headache.
At this time, with a click, Diarmuid knelt on one knee.
Of course, he was not proposing to Sora.
The one kneeling was his real Master, Kayneth.
"It is my fault that I failed to win the Holy Grail War for my Master!"
"If there is a chance, I will definitely bring you victory the next time we meet!"
Diarmuid knelt on one knee and performed the knight's salute.
Seeing him like this, Kayneth was also slightly touched.
Although he did not get what he wanted in this Holy Grail War.
However, Kayneth still saw and remembered Diarmuid's heroic and measured performance.
Although Sora's performance embarrassed him a little.
But fortunately, Sora did not get what he wanted.
The brave and righteous knight did not make his old mistakes.
He is an excellent knight.
To be honest, no matter how bad Sora's magic talent is, there is a certain foundation.
"Love Tear Mole" is only a C-level skill, and the effect is not so great for a female magician like Sora.
In other words, Sora really fell in love at first sight.
But the wise knight has always maintained his rationality.
He paid no attention to his admirers, and only wanted to help his master Kayneth win the Holy Grail War.
And Kayneth is a loyal dog of Sora.
Even though he knew this fact, Kayneth did not give up his love.
From this, we can draw a conclusion.
Three dogs can form a stable and eternal closed loop.
"Lancer, you are the best knight I have ever seen."
He hesitated for a while.
Finally, he opened his mouth and said this sentence.
Lancer's face showed a happy smile.
"Thank you for your praise, I am unworthy of it."
As he said, Diarmuid's body gradually began to photonize.
Sora's eyes dimmed.
She wanted Diarmuid to wish to stay.
But she knew that this was impossible.
If she did so, she would not only fail to gain Diarmuid's love, but she might even lose the love of Kayneth.
At that time, what awaited her.
But there would be only a "hell" treatment.
The Sofiali family had no shortage of "political tools" for marriage.
But if you can't even be a "political tool", then you can only serve as a "consumable" for other magic families.
Thinking of the ending of her former sisters, Sora rarely recovered her sanity from "love" and remained silent.
After all, Kayneth was not bad.
No one present knew Sora's complicated thoughts, and no one cared.
This was a good ending for everyone.
Kayneth gained a lover who returned to his heart, Sora was able to avoid the fate of serving as a "family consumable", and Diarmuid had the experience of forgiving himself.
Everyone has a bright future.
"Master, I'll wait for you in Valhalla."
After that, Diarmuid's body completely photonized and disappeared.
He returned to the Hall of Heroes with gratitude and satisfaction.
In this Holy Grail War, the most miserable pair had the most perfect ending.
Hearing Diarmuid's last "last words", Kayneth was originally happy.
He thought that it was right to praise him.
Unexpectedly, Diarmuid finally said "See you in the Hall of Heroes", which made people feel a little uncomfortable.
The Hall of Heroes, in fact, should be called the Throne of Heroes, is the place where the souls of those who signed a contract with Alaya or the heroes who died in the legend in the Type-Moon world are located.
But to put it bluntly, this is a place where only the dead can go.
Is Diarmuid cursing himself to death with this sentence?
Kayneth was full of black lines.
However, he can understand Diarmuid's thoughts.
After all, not everyone is qualified to become a Heroic Spirit.
Even Kayneth, who is known as a child prodigy, may not have the confidence to guarantee that he can leave his name and legend in history.
For the time being, let's take this sentence as a compliment.
Praise him that Kenneth has the talent of a heroic spirit.
Kenneth shook his head.
Throw away these messy thoughts.
"Great God, thank you for your generosity, I will take my leave."
Kenneth bowed.
Luke nodded slightly.
Kenneth immediately took Sora's hand, and the two left here side by side.
At this moment, Sora was honest, lowered his head and said nothing.
If she has any emotions, she can go back and make a fuss.
In front of a god who knows no depth, it is best for an ordinary magician like her to put away any of her little ideas.
Stop tainting the god's thinking, and then being killed by the god's finger.
If that happens, there will be no place to cry when the time comes.
Luke watched the two people leave.
The Holy Grail in the air did not dissipate, and it was still as stable as an old dog.
The colorless power lingered, and it seemed that there was still some residual energy.
In theory, the Holy Grail that used so much magic power at one time should have been directly drained.
But in fact, it can't be counted that way.
On the one hand, it is because the magic power of the Holy Grail is actually a bit too abundant.
The three great families held three Holy Grail Wars, but none of them succeeded.
The so-called universal wishing machine has naturally never been verified. Although most of the accumulated magic power has been consumed for various reasons, it has been consumed a lot.
However, the part of the magic power left each time is accumulated continuously, which is terrifying enough.
Therefore, it can withstand the consumption of four wishes.
On the other hand, the wishes made by the four people actually do not consume much at all.
Kenneth and Weber only improved their qualifications a little, and did not ask for anything else.
Especially Kenneth, his qualifications are almost at the top.
There is not much room for improvement.
You can't directly upgrade him to the level of the crown and become the next Solomon, right?
The Holy Grail is just something expanded through the third law.
Don't make it difficult for it.
It's not a super dragon ball.
As for the remaining two, the King of Conquerors simply asked for a body, and the consumption was not large.
The only wish that requires a lot of colorless power is Altria's wish.
However, to pay this "bill" for traveling through time and space, the way to go is the way of restraint.
It has nothing to do with the Holy Grail.
In the end, it was only when Altria traveled through time that she spent some "special effects money".
The Holy Grail said that this job was too easy.
Of course, the wishful idiot Emiya Kiritsugu was not included.
"Respected God."
"Stop, just call me Luke." Luke stretched out his hand to stop him, "I'm not a god."
"You also saw how I got the status of a god."
Altria was stunned.
Then she recalled the scene in the misty space that she remembered deeply.
The red dragon devoured the white emperor, ascended the noble throne, and embarked on the road to deification.
Rather than saying that he is a god, it is better to say that he is a godslayer.
It was also because of this act of persecuting gods that the Hero King chose to commit suicide.
The Hero King, who was in his youth, had reached the peak of his disgust for God.
Altria smiled slightly and nodded.
"Luke, where are we going next?"
Her tone was slightly excited.
After being a Holy King for so many years, she was finally able to release her true self.
Moreover, a journey with the gods is bound to be full of adventures and surprises.
This reminded her of her youth.
She had followed Merlin's teachings and traveled around the world incognito.
At that time, she had not yet become a king.
But she was a good adventurer.
Or you could say, a warrior.
"Go underground."
Facing Altria's smile, he said so.
At the same time.
Ryutoji Temple, a large cave under Mount Enzo.
This is where the core of the Holy Grail War, the Holy Grail of Heaven, is stored.
A huge and terrifying magic circle is drawn on the surface of the mortar-shaped rock.
The surrounding area is covered with products that are one kilometer in diameter, like the surface covering the crater, and are wriggling like living things.
That is the magic circuit.
It is also the Winter Saint Justisa.
The androids of the Einzbern family are essentially a bunch of magic circuits.
After hundreds of years of expansion and proliferation, the dismantled Winter Saint gradually evolved into this horrifying appearance.
A small universe made up of a human body.
This is the truth of the Holy Grail ritual.
The Winter Saint Justisa is the living sacrifice of the Holy Grail ritual.
