Chapter 236: Wishes and Appeals (Part 3)
There are four real kings sitting on the circle now, but three of them have rejected Artoria's naive idea!
This is no longer just a matter of Holy Grail questions and answers, it also casts great doubt on the King of Knights’ royal ways!
In response to the three emperors' denial, Arturia frowned and retorted in a sharp tone: "Iskandar, the empire you created was eventually split into four parts. Are you unwilling at all? Don’t you want to do it again to save the country?”
Compared with [Archer] who only knows how to constantly laugh at her and Ying Zheng who is not a participant in the Holy Grail War, [Rider] who fundamentally denies her chosen royal path should argue with him.
"In no mood."
The Conqueror King's answer had no thought process, it was entirely his truest thoughts coming from his heart.
He slowly straightened his sitting posture, straightened his chest, and looked directly into the King of Knights' stern eyes: "If my decision and my ministers lead to such a result, then destruction is inevitable. I will mourn and shed tears, But I have no regrets.”
"Not to mention trying to subvert history! Such stupid behavior is an insult to all humans in the era I built!"
Regarding the words of the Conqueror King, Arturia shook her head and denied: "You only said this based on the glory of the warrior. The people will not think so. What they need is salvation."
"Save?" The Conqueror shrugged and laughed, "I don't understand! What's the point of this kind of thing?"
This time it was Artoria's turn to show off her eloquence: "This is the duty of a king, what a king should do! Correct rule and correct order are what all subjects expect."
"Are you the 'right' slave then?"
"You can say that. Only those who devote themselves to their ideals deserve to be king." Without a trace of doubt, the young knight king nodded, "People can understand law and order through the king. The king should not be the kind of person who will follow the rules." It is something more noble than something that disappears with the death of the king.”
Looking at the still resolute [Saber], the Conqueror King on the side put down his wine glass and shook his head as if pitying her: "This is not the path of survival that people would choose."
"Yes. Since you are born a king, you cannot expect to live the life of an ordinary person. King of Conquerors, people like you who only care about yourself will not understand my beliefs. You are just an overlord who is blinded by desire! "
This was carried out by the girl named Artoria from birth to the end of her life.
As a king, she is inhuman!
But Artoria's remarks made the Conqueror King feel a little angry. It was not anger, but anger, pure anger.
"A king without desires is worse than a vase. [Saber], you just said 'sacrifice yourself for your ideals'. Indeed, you used to be an incorruptible saint, so holy that no one can match it. But who wants to expect to be martyred for their ideals? And Who would think day and night about the so-called saint, who can only comfort the people, but cannot guide them. Only by showing desire and singing the ultimate glory can the country and the people be guided to the right path."
"As a king, you must have stronger desires than anyone else, be bolder than anyone else, and be more irritable than anyone else. He should be a human being that contains purity and turbidity, and is more real than anyone else. Only in this way , Only then can the ministers be impressed by the king, and only then can the people have the vision of 'It would be great if I were the king' in their hearts!"
"" (omitting the sermon of the conquering king, a total of 3,900 words)
The series of words from the conquered king pierced her heart. Arturia's originally determined heart showed a little confusion, and her face also showed a rare vulnerability.
She wanted to refute, but she couldn't because the scenes of that day kept reappearing in front of her eyes.
What I witnessed that day at the sword fence was that corpses lay everywhere and blood flowed like rivers.
There lay her courtiers, her friends, her relatives, and Mordred, whom she stabbed to death with the holy spear.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked to her right. Mordred was still sitting obediently, but her body was trembling, full of anger and hatred.
Seeing this, the conquering king picked up the wine glass again, shook his head and said: "You blindly 'save' your subjects, but never 'guide' them. They don't know what the 'king's desire' is. You left the lost ones behind." Subjects, you are intoxicated by your own petty ideals with a sacred attitude, so you are not a qualified king. You just want to be a 'king' who cares for the people, and you are a little girl who has trapped yourself in order to become that kind of idol. That’s all!”
After leaving these last words, the Conqueror King did not look at her again, but looked at Mordred with his wine glass, and said: "Then you are the only one left, [Berserker], your wish has been renewed. What is it?"
The moment these words reached Mordred's ears, the command spell's binding force on her instantly disappeared. She turned to look at her master and received a gentle smile.
Of course Zhao Chen didn't care about command spells. He had already studied them thoroughly the moment he acquired them!
Of course, it's not that he has studied it thoroughly, but that the store system has studied it thoroughly.
Even if he runs out, relying on the store system, Zhao Chen can make three more, thirty, or three hundred more
But there is one thing, that is, these command spells can only be used on one's own heroic spirits, even if they are stripped away, probably because those command spells are based on the three paths in Zhao Chen's hand.
After regaining her freedom, Mordred managed to calm down, and the armor on her body turned into light particles and dissipated.
Then she answered the King of Conquerors' question with a grim smile: "My wish? Of course, it's to become the king!"
"Do you want to rely on the power of the Holy Grail to become the king? That seems to be changing history as well!" The King of Conquerors touched his chin and continued to ask.
Mordred shook his head and responded to the King of Conquerors' words in a sad tone: "No, that's wrong. I don't want to rely on the power of the Holy Grail to become the king. If that's the case, even if I ascend the throne, no one will recognize me. My wish is to challenge the Sword of the Chosen, that's all!"
Hearing this, Altria suddenly looked up at Mordred, not knowing what he was thinking.
The King of Conquerors asked curiously: "The Sword of the Chosen? Is it the Sword of the Chosen prepared to confirm the king - the Sword in the Stone [Caliburn]?"
"That's right!"
Mordred nodded. If there is any other way to obtain the throne besides inheritance, there is only one way to go there.
Moreover, obtaining the throne in this way is undoubtedly the most advantageous way to prove that she is stronger than Arthur!
Because when his father was young, he also pulled out the sword that no strongman in the country could challenge successfully, thus obtaining the qualification to become the king!
At this time, Gilgamesh, who has fully understood various modern legends, shook the wine glass, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "What an interesting idea, if the Holy Grail fulfills your wish, but you don't pull out the sword, what should you do?"
