Infinite Begins with Giants

Chapter 513
The warm afternoon sun shines softly on the outer walls of the ancient temple rooms, and the sun slowly sets from the blue sky.

The air in the room was still cool and quiet, only a little light came in from the small skylight, making the room shrouded in the faint darkness of the setting sun.

It's almost evening.

Glancing at the scenery outside the window, Saber, who was kneeling on the carpet, got up from the room, feeling an unspeakable feeling in her heart.

The Holy Grail is about to come, and the almighty wishing machine is within reach.

Eagerness, anticipation, excitement, fear, hesitation...

Thoughts were churning, and she couldn't calm down for a long time, and Arturia couldn't understand what happened to her.

She should have had nothing but pure joy.

It is undeniable that the Einzbern family, which currently has two servants, has an absolute upper hand. Not only does it hold the Lesser Holy Grail, but the Liudong Temple has also set up a magic workshop. The probability of finally getting the Holy Grail is very high.

But after coming to this era, the scenes she experienced flashed through Artoria's mind quickly.

Warehouse Street, Matou's House, Abandoned Factory, King's Banquet... She seems to have been led by the nose, counted many times, and has not won several battles.

Saber also realized that she didn't perform well, and her relationship with the master was also poor, and she was passive every time.

On the contrary is her teammate, the Caster who still seems to be enigmatic.

From the time when Hassan's existence was exposed on Warehouse Street, he designed the melee at Matou House, and cooperated with Kiritsugu to kill Lancer... He seems to have been leading the rhythm of the Holy Grail War.

For the strategy and force shown by Wuming, she admired and was not convinced.

Pushing open the door, Saber in a dress glanced at the sun in the sky, and entered the courtyard of the temple.

She got rid of distracting thoughts, stopped thinking about it, wandered casually, and found someone under a tree.

Wu Ming lay casually on the grass, leaning against a big tree with his arms resting on the back of his head, as if he was resting.

Saber thought that the other party was just closing his eyes and resting his mind, but after walking in, he found that he was really asleep.

No matter what time, he is still so careless.

King Dumao was quite speechless in his heart. After pulling back the hem of his skirt, he sat on the grass and stared at his face with beautiful eyes.

Breathing evenly, with a leisurely expression on his face.

Wuming who fell asleep gave people a very ordinary feeling, with a gentle temperament, like the big boy next door.

With his appearance and temperament, he doesn't look like a magician at all, nor like a knight or swordsman.It gave her the feeling of ordinary young people in those rural towns she met when she was living on a farm.

Saber sighed, looking at him complicatedly.

Sometimes Wu Ming gave her the feeling of facing her stepbrother Kai, with a very poisonous mouth, but also caring for others, and sometimes she gave her a temperament similar to Merlin, loose and free, as if she didn't care about anything in the world.

At certain moments, Wu Ming will give her a feeling that is very similar to herself, or completely opposite to her.

Very contradictory.

Maybe he didn't even realize it himself, his character is complex and changeable, full of compromises with the world, but also hides amazing toughness and sharpness.

Such a Heroic Spirit must have had a complicated past.

She was still a little curious, but when she thought about Wu Ming losing her ideals and name, she also knew that it must not be a pleasant experience.

So Saber didn't delve into it, didn't ask, because it might be exposing his scars, just like she didn't want to tell her own story to others...

The dreamlike beauty was shattered, and consciousness returned.

When Ren opened his eyes, what greeted his eyes was the mottled old wall, the fiery red sunset, and Saber wearing a sky blue dress on the grass beside him.

It feels like a world away.

Looking at the familiar girl in front of him, the corners of Ren's mouth curled up slightly. After listening to that guy Merlin's nagging for a few days, he even developed a sense of intimacy towards her.

"It's good luck to see a beautiful girl when I wake up. Girl, how long have you been staring at me like this?"

Ren yawned and said lazily.

Saber withdrew her gaze, and said naturally: "About half an hour, once I see you rest."

I don't know why, just watched him quietly for a long time.

"Are you fascinated by my handsome appearance? It doesn't matter. If you confess to me, I'm not as hypocritical as someone, so I accept it on the spot."

Dumb Mao Wang snorted softly when he heard the words, got used to his nonsense, and put his words behind him without thinking much about them.

She turned her head away and warned, "If you don't want to be slashed by me, then don't hold back your mouth."

"Aha, someone seems to be Karen Reinhardt's defeated opponent. I really want to ask her, as a famous knight king, how does she feel when she is defeated by an unknown knight?"

Ren showed a funny expression and couldn't help complaining.

He could feel that after defeating her last time, the competitive Dumao King was quite dissatisfied and always wanted to get back his position.

hateful!

Saber's face turned dark immediately, she lost to a knight for the first time in her life, she was naturally heartbroken.

Subconsciously clenching her small fist, flames ignited in her green pupils, Saber said coldly: "Wu Ming, don't be so proud, let's duel again if we have a chance!"

"Crazy girl...cough, young girl, I actually rarely do tricky things. Last time I cut you like that, I still feel a little guilty."

Oops, I said the wrong thing again, Ren was startled, and quickly waved his hands, as if coaxing the little girl.

Mad woman, this is the second time.

Saber gritted her silver teeth, trembling with anger, plus flat chest, short legs, counterfeit banknotes, and the fiasco not long ago... She hasn't forgotten any of these things!

This guy is simply too hateful, he resisted the urge to draw his sword and cut people, and Dumb Mao Wang stared at him fiercely:
"Wu Ming! Do you know? I really want to beat you up!!"

"Tsk tsk, do you know? I like it most when people see me as upset, but act like I have nothing to do."

Shrugging his shoulders, Ryan looked very flat.

"Wu Ming, you... you try to say it again?!"

Anger was about to overwhelm reason, Saber's body surged with a surge of magic power, and she looked at him murderously.

"Ah, that's fine, girl, please maintain this state of wanting to cut others into eight pieces! The way you were so preoccupied and hesitant just now is not very good."

Ren said something flat, projected a reclining chair, lay on it directly, and threw another chair to her.

He's not that bored yet, trying to make her angry on purpose.

Mind-wandering, anxiety, hesitation... The Holy Grail is about to come, and King Dumao's mentality is out of balance. This time, because of his existence, she is obviously affected more.

Saber was taken aback when she heard this, and restrained her momentum. After a moment of silence, she also realized that she was indeed out of shape.

She sat on the chair, still staring at him with unfriendly eyes:
"Hmph, thank you for reminding me, but I still feel very angry, and I will settle accounts with you later!"

Having been bullied by him many times in the past few days, Saber was filled with anger and unwillingness, and she always had the urge to press him to the ground and rub against him.

If you don't beat him up, you won't be able to calm down!
"Women are really stingy, a few truths... Cough, it's just a slip of the tongue, I remember it for so long." Ren curled his lips, realizing that she was still angry about those things at the beginning.

Saber can't remember how many times she was irritated by him, she looked at Wuming angrily with a sullen face:

"Do you have to fight with me?"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I apologize to the beautiful Miss Knight Wang." The scary look in her eyes, aware that she might go crazy, Ren didn't dare to provoke her anymore,
It's enough to bully her once a day, not all the time.

After talking with Merlin, he already knew the temper and character of King Dumao very well, and he could judge her state in a few words.

"If your tone can be more sincere, maybe I will forgive you." Saber pouted and said, she felt very tired for this ally.

Her affection for Wuming is as strong as her dislike.There are times when I like and admire him very much, and there are times when I hate and dislike him very much.

Even she herself didn't know which one was more, but both were very impressive, and she didn't deny that the way of contacting and getting along with him was unprecedented.

He is not her teacher, not the Knights of the Round Table, not her people, nor is he currently an enemy, nor even a friend in the general sense.

She really didn't know how to get along with him.

Under the setting sun, Ren and Saber were silent for a moment at the same time.

They are always like this, no matter how long the communication time is, as long as it comes to the end, most of them end in quarrels.

"Artoria, I'm sorry, I accidentally made you angry again just now."

After Ren spread his hands, he suddenly showed a bright smile.

After the magician of flowers told the story of the king, he had "unnamed memories", plus his own impression of her before, he knew exactly what she was thinking.

Seeing his sunny smiling face and sincere tone, Saber subconsciously moved away from staring at him.

"It's a bit strange. I obviously have a lot to say to you, but I don't think it's necessary. I always feel that you are very familiar, although it's just my one-sided feeling."

Ren continued, his tone much gentler, and he immediately stood up and walked towards the temple.

He couldn't bear to bully her anymore, and the longer he got along, the more so.

At the beginning, he was basically merciless, and he was merciless when he chopped her down, but now, especially after obtaining the memory of "Wu Ming".

Once I made her angry, I subconsciously wanted to apologize.

He knew that he had been affected by it, and there was nothing he could do about it. If he completely absorbed a person's memory and power, of course it would affect him.

It's not bad now, it will take some time to get used to it. When he received the memory of "Ren" in the giant world before, he was a little schizophrenic.

"Hey, Arturia, why are you in a daze, it's time for us to prepare dinner, come here and help wash the dishes."

Saber has been silently watching him go away, until this sentence floated, her eyes lit up, and she immediately chased after him.

"Wait, I'm coming!"

Don't think too much, anyway, after the Holy Grail War, she won't be able to see this strange guy.

It's better to eat first... It's important to replenish your strength and energy first.

The two were busy in the kitchen for a while, and dinner was quickly prepared.

The time is actually less than six o'clock in the afternoon. It's a bit early for dinner, but if you don't eat now, you won't have time later.

"This may be the last meal, do you have anything to say?"

At the dining table in the living room, Emiya Kiritsugu picked up a piece of fried beef with chopsticks, and asked in a flat tone.

Saber was engrossed in destroying food, and ignored Father Kiritsugu.

Ryan glanced at the absent-minded Kariya: "Kariya, Tokiomi is dead, but you don't seem very happy."

"Um... I should be very happy, but..." Kariya sighed, a little speechless.

Tokiomi was killed by his disciples, it had nothing to do with them, even if Kotomine Kirei poured dirty water on Emiya Kiritsugu, there is a way to clarify afterwards.

Logically, he should be happy.

But at this moment, there is only loss and bewilderment in his heart, as if his strength has been drained, and he has lost his goal and support.

At the dining table, Kariya put down his chopsticks and sighed:

"I actually know that he is better than me. I have always been jealous of him. I was impressed by his rescue of Sakura that night. This proves that he still cares about family affection...

If...he didn't focus on pursuing some illusory root, he should be a good man..."

Kariya talked a lot without hiding his emotions and thoughts.

Inner inferiority complex, jealousy of Tokiomi, undying heart for Aoi Tohsaka, sympathy for Sakura... Among them are the kindness of ordinary people, the dark thoughts of wishing for the death of a rival in love, the sense of justice to save others, and those with impure motives. Guilty, anger over Sakura's tragic fate...

He fully revealed the emotions and mentality of an ordinary person who was robbed of his childhood sweetheart by "Gao Fu Shuai" out of various scruples and hesitation.

Everyone just listened silently, listening to an ordinary person telling his love and hatred.

It took a long time for Matou Kariya to calm down. While he was relieved, he felt empty in his heart.

Saber stared at Kariya, as if she felt something in her heart.

The other party's action to save Sakura made her admire, and her dark thoughts of killing her rival and wife made her frown again.

Ren nodded lightly. Tokiomi was blamed a lot, but according to the virtues of magicians in the Moon World, he and Director Ken can be regarded as more humane magicians.

Of course, Tokiomi is not without black spots, he originally chatted with Matou Kariya on the rooftop across servers, Kariya was insane at that time and did not tell what happened to Sakura.

However, the two talked about Sakura and Rin's future.

Kariya said that they belonged to different families, and in the future the sisters or their descendants might kill each other for the Holy Grail.

Pot King Tokiomi actually said, this is just right, if you don't put all your eggs in one basket, your chances of winning will be greater.

It's okay for sisters to kill each other.

Those who win reach the root, just to fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Tohsaka family, and those who lose die with honor, adding honor to the family.

What the hell!

Ren felt dumbfounded. What kind of thinking pattern is this?

However, Tokiomi is fairly normal among magicians, he really doesn't like the magicians in the Moon World.

Some people say that Kiritsugu's old man has a middle school illness, but in fact, he is a person who cannot bear the concept of a magician, and is also a victim at the same time.

He has seen too many magicians who don't treat ordinary people as human beings. They kill and experiment at will. This is the origin of Emiya Kiritsugu's idea of ​​saving the world.

"Matou Kariya, Wuming is right, you shouldn't have come to participate in the Holy Grail War, you have the mentality of an ordinary person." Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at Kariya, and suggested, "I think you can leave here now gone."

He already understood Matou Kariya's character.Kariya is not like a magician, neither the level of magic nor the mentality is up to standard.

He is just an ordinary person with a somewhat extreme personality.

Both the bright and dark sides of a person are vividly expressed in him.Of course, like most ordinary people, there is more to the good side.

Compared with the real good guy, Matou Kariya has more dark and extreme places, but he is not a villain, he has courage and kindness, so there is no need to criticize him too much.

No matter what, he has more conscience than the old bug and the crooked Matou Shinji.

Arturia stared at Kariya, her lips moved slightly, she wanted to say something, but finally chose to shut up.

If it was before, she would definitely praise the other party's behavior of saving others first, and then scold him for his dark and dirty side.

But now, she somewhat understood what Wu Ming said.

Human beings are actually impure.

Purely good people and purely evil people are very rare, and most people have both. Bright and kind thoughts, dark and dirty thoughts are unavoidable for human beings.

But Saber still firmly believes that guiding people to order and kindness is more important than advocating cold-blooded, cruel, selfish, dark... these things.

She didn't reprimand Kariya.

Withered and white hair, thin body, and one blind eye, this is what this man looks like now.

Having paid such a price, there is no need to criticize him anymore, Kariya now understands what he is doing.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Matou Kariya raised his arms and showed the two Command Seals to the Magician Killer:

"Emiya Kiritsugu, you should understand. People who are for their own interests and emotions, no matter whether they are kind or evil, their actions are controllable.

But Kotomine Kirei is different! "

Kariya glanced at Wuming, he learned who Kotomine Kirei was from him, and then he continued to stare at Emiya Kiritsugu.

"Tokiomi is dead, but I don't want to hand over the Holy Grail to Kotomine Kirei, because I'm not sure what a person like him who doesn't care about good and evil and only pursues pleasure will use the Holy Grail.

I'm not trying to be brave and want to stay here, I still have two command spells, if something goes wrong, I can summon Wuming back to Liudong Temple in time to deal with emergencies. "

"Kariya, you are really confident in me." Ren smiled slightly.

Saber's small mouth pouted, a little dissatisfied, Matou Kariya was obviously worried about her, and didn't believe in her strength.

Emiya Kiritsugu showed a rare smile, staring at Kariya:

"You are somewhat enlightened as a master now, but you can safely hand over the Holy Grail to me? Or do you want to avenge Tokiomi?"

He didn't want to chase Kariya away, but just hoped that he would be mentally prepared.

"Kiritsugu, at least you still care about your wife and have the emotions of a normal person. Kirei Mine is a guy who will feel happy after seeing his relatives and friends die tragically, or even killing them with his own hands.

He is too dangerous.

Don't get me wrong, I won't be sad when Tokiomi dies, and I'm not standing up for justice to stop Kotomine Kirei.

I'm just afraid that he and the King of Heroes will do crazy things with the Holy Grail, even if I leave this will be affected, and I firmly believe that my followers are stronger! "

Kariya said calmly, he has already gained enough awareness.

Father Kiritsugu nodded in approval, Ren grinned even more, and patted Kariya Matou on the shoulder:

"Very good, as expected of my Master, your last sentence is right, I am the stronger now!"

Ren understood that Kariya's thoughts were not wrong.

This time the situation is completely different from the original, if he and Saber lose, the consequences are really unpredictable.

For a guy like Kotomine Kirei, after knowing that the Holy Grail has been polluted, he will definitely find a way to let the "evil of this world" be born.

As for Mr. Jin, even if he hadn't bathed in black mud to wash his brains out, he might not stop Ma Po.

At that time, the entire Fuyuki City and even the surrounding cities may not be safe.

"Hmph!" Saber pouted and snorted softly.

She was a little annoyed that she was always underestimated, but unfortunately she really didn't have any record, so she didn't refute.

"Very well, everyone is fine now."

Emiya Kiritsugu took out his lighter and lit a cigarette. After his wife and Maiya left, he was at his best.

Kariya just smiled lightly, while Saber nodded slightly.

Her mentality was a little out of balance before, but after all, she is a knight king who has experienced many battles, so she quickly adjusted.

As for Ren, he was always ready, and no one asked him any questions at all. The three of them had different perceptions of him, but no one questioned his state and strength.

Everyone gathered around a table, looked at each other, and all smiled. So far, there is no need to say more.

Ren stood up first. He glanced at the bloody setting sun outside the door, and the smile on his face gradually widened:

"Hehe, very good, the scenic spot of Liudong Temple is now officially open to the public! Tickets are free, and we are ready to pick up guests!"

　Accidentally interrupted for a day.

　　The weather was too cold. Last night I hid under the covers and used my mobile phone to type. After writing [-] words, I was a little sleepy and typed a ton, and I didn’t wake up until midnight.
