My Destiny Illustrated Book of Shape Moon

Chapter 125 So, let’s tell a story about a king...

Faced with Sakuyue's abrupt interruption, Rider frowned unhappily:

"Master Sakuyue of Caster, before you speak, think about your position and identity - are you judging the achievements of our two kings as a modern human being thousands of years later?"

Before Shuo Yue could speak, the golden heroic spirit on the other side of the seat suddenly stopped laughing, tapped the edge of the table with his wine glass, and uttered warning words from his mouth:

"Attention, King of Conquerors. The person in front of you is not a simple human being. If you continue to use those fallacies to fool people, even I, the King, will not be able to save you."

"Archer?" Iskandar didn't expect that it would be the most arrogant king who would speak out. After a brief silence, he let out a long breath, and the oppression on his majestic body gradually dissipated.

"Let's hear what you have to say, little brother Shuo Yue."

"Oh? Then should I say thank you to the King of Heroes?" Shuo Yue smiled, then took the jug, filled the wine glass, drank it all, and said in a leisurely tone:

"Then, let's tell a story about a king..."

The overly familiar tone made Saber's hair curl up, and Archer and Rider couldn't help but listen quietly.

That is an epic story that is still passed down to this day.

————

In the 5th century AD, the blood of the King of Britain, the ideology of Britain's incarnation as the red dragon, and the female blood to perfectly blend the two were mixed to create a mother's womb. In this way, the legendary King Arthur, Arturia Pendragon, was born quietly.

When Uther Pendragon died at the age of 15, Arturia Pendragon pulled out the sword in the stone that represented the qualifications of the new king - the Golden Sword of Victory (Caliburn). Immediately, the long river of time was frozen for the king. The king's body and appearance stopped growing and aging, and stayed at the moment when he was 15 years old.

After defeating Vortigern, King Arthur began to revive the destroyed fortress city. Due to the return of the holder of the Holy Sword, the city also regained its original mystery and was reborn as the chalk city of Camelot.

The years of King Arthur's reign over Britain refer to the ten years between the completion of Camelot and the campaign to Camlann's Hill. That could be said to be the last era of romance on this planet. The twilight period when the island still retains mysteries, magic, fairies, and sanctuaries.

Mysterious dusk.

Planets change the laws of physics depending on the life on their surface. The era that used to be full of mystery and magic came to an end as humans became the largest force on the surface and gradually declined. Nature, which had personality in the past, became a mere natural phenomenon, and the ether in the atmosphere disappeared.

After the death of Solomon, the King of Magic, the rate of mystical decline accelerated.

Five hundred years ago, the age of mythology completely ended. This planet became independent from nature and became a world separated from the natural cycle.

But this island is different.

This island still retains the air and mystery of the mythical age. After all, the more isolated it is from the mainland, the easier it is for the land to remain mysterious.

Britannia is particularly important, after all, it is like the navel of the planet.

This is the last relic of the mythical age, and it can also become a fulcrum that can overturn the world.

——But to put it another way: this island is a mysterious wreckage, a heresy on the planet.

In the glorious future of mankind, such a lingering shadow cannot be allowed to exist.

The age of mystery is long over.

Next comes the age of civilization, the age of mankind.

King Arthur's basic power cannot be tolerated by humans. As long as the king lives, Britain will have no future.

It is precisely for this reason that during the reign of King Arthur, this island has always been a year of violence - this is not due to the king's misconduct, but simply because the world and the way of heaven are suppressing this last mystery. Just land.

Britain will be destroyed.

And King Arthur, the radiant ideal king, delayed this inevitable destruction for ten years.

————

After the young man drunkenly told this distant story, a suffocating silence fell among the kings.

Whether it was the most inexperienced artificial man, the magician who was still learning the mysteries, or the conquering overlord and the more ancient hero king, they all sat motionless.

Only the protagonist in the story, the king who is still a girl, poured himself wine in silence and took a small sip. His holy green eyes were empty, wondering what he was thinking.

Finally, Rider took a long breath and broke the silence.

"Are these stories true, Saber?"

"Except for describing me very well... everything else is basically the same as what Merlin said." Saber nodded low, her tone a little dull.

For others, this may be a magnificent epic, the honor and praise of a king's life. But to her, this is just a scar that bleeds when it is torn open.

Although she was surprised that Sakuyue knew so much about her past, judging from Saber's droopy hair, it was obvious that she had no interest in talking at all.

However, Rider's next words made her raise her head in shock.

"I see... then, I apologize for my previous recklessness, Saber."

Facing the astonished Saber, Rider bowed his head sincerely and expressed his apology.

"Frankly speaking, in my thirty-three years of life, I have never encountered such a desperate situation as you - Shuo Yue is right, my tyranny can only be spread over a vast territory, and something like this is fragmented The islands can only be mended with your skillful hands."

"It's such a boring and sad experience for a little girl to have to shoulder such a situation." Archer rarely spoke in a tone that avoided ridicule with a sigh.

At this moment, he suddenly realized the difference between this girl and his best friend.

Although he also stretched his hands to a height that did not belong to humans, Enkidu only had one person in his heart, while Saber had a whole kingdom in her heart.

Even the red dragon of Britain would moan overwhelmed when faced with such a heavy burden, right?

However, this girl not only held up Britain for ten years in this inhuman way, but also after the country ushered in its inevitable end, she sincerely hoped that someone could replace her and change the unfortunate ending.

To be able to save that country.

To make people laugh.

For this reason, everything she once owned was insignificant, and even her freedom after death could be given up.

Saber is different from Rider and Archer, who were born kings. After taking off the mask of the ideal king, what is hidden under that glory is the unique sadness and regret of a girl.

If it weren't for me...

If someone else had pulled out the King's Sword...

Her royal ways, her beliefs, her life, her ideals, her dignity - were shattered the moment Britain declared its demise.

‘Using the Holy Grail to change the fate of Britain’s destruction’ is not because Saber denied everything around her——

It's just that the girl Artoria believes from the bottom of her heart that the knights who follow her light deserve a better ending.

Rather than fighting against each other because of the king, starting a rebellion because of the king, and regretting your whole life because of the king.

So, the Holy Grail.

Please save my hometown and change the fate of Britain's destruction.

Britain will end one day, but it should be a more stable, sleep-like ending.

It is enough that the only one who will be destroyed is oneself, and that the one who will meet the death of stupidity is only the King of Foolishness.

I hope that the people of Britain will laugh from the bottom of their hearts. I hope that our round table will run around Britain and spread the virtues of knights to every corner.

Even if it costs me peace after death, even if the girl "Artoria" is erased from history... please save my country, save the land I love so much.

This is the true wish of the girl Artoria Pendragon.

It is also the last sacrifice of the king named "Arthur".

Personally, I combined it with the interpretation of the Court of Avalon. After all, Lao Xu did write Du Mao in fz in a way that is hard to describe...
