Stray Chapter 47: This is wrong

Xia Ran watched from the side and did not express her opinion.

But neither Irisviel nor Arturia doubted his intentions to raise this topic.

After all, on the surface, he should take it for granted that Saber, as a Servant on Irisviel's side, should have known about this kind of thing a long time ago, so he said those words so casually, Picked up some secrets.

Irisviel can only smile bitterly at this, although she doesn't know how the other party has mastered these secrets that only the original Yusan family knew, and about the scabbard in her body, but she also has no doubts. ——

Because Xia Ran decided to keep her mouth shut after realizing that Saber didn't know about it and she didn't really want to talk about these things, and did not continue to use those things to attack and slander the love behind her. Ciberen, and her husband, instigated mutual relationship and trust... It should be just unintentional.

It's just that Saber is still very suspicious and staring at Irisviel. From time to time, he looks at Xia Ran, who has an irrelevant expression. It seems that it is not so easy to buy it, but secretly remembers this. thing.

Irisviel noticed it, and could only sigh. She also knew that it was impossible to hide this knight forever, even if she didn't reveal it all the time. When the Holy Grail War came to the end, she contained enough servant souls. At that time, it will begin to disintegrate...

Because she is the "Guardian of the Vessel", when the time comes, her body as an artificial human will collapse, and the golden vessel made of inorganic substances will also come.

The original idea was to keep it hidden for as long as possible. At least in the early stages of the Holy Grail War, Saber could not be let off the chain because of grievances and opposition, but in the later stage, you can play emotional cards—

At that time, even in order to live up to the expectations of the dead Irisviel, Saber could only do his best to fight for the last Holy Grail.

Of course, this should have belonged to the normal development of the original, but now because of someone's random entry, there are some uncontrolled unexpected factors, which makes Irisviel feel very headache.

After talking with Xia Ran alone, the young woman who was under ten years old thought about it, and finally agreed. First, she felt that she had no right to refuse, and she couldn't be in a good mood because of the other party. Those who talk to themselves, have discussions and negotiation, forget that they are in the enemy camp.

Secondly, Xia Ran told her very clearly that Medea would take this opportunity to use magic as much as possible to strengthen her body and maintain her functions. Those targeted repair and reinforcement techniques, like It is a special patch that can better optimize the operation of the android.

Compared to this, although the scabbard is powerful, it is also flawed. After all, it was not a stabilization device specially designed to maintain the "Holy Grail" from the beginning, so it can only be a simple and crude waste of performance.

Let's not say anything else, if Saber is not around, then the self-healing function of the scabbard will become quite weak, it can only be said that it is better than nothing... And in the current situation, Saber can really always be by her side?

Although it is very rude to say this, Xia Ran reiterated the fact that now Arturia's master has been replaced by him. .

Apart from smiling wryly and reluctantly agreeing, what other choices does Alice Phil have?

……

……

Take Irisviel to the workshop specially used by Medea, and then Xia Ran withdrew knowingly. body scene.

And Saber has been staring at him all the time, obviously supervising him, his eyes seem to be sharp enough to directly stab him in the back, it is really insensitive, so he doesn't need to be reminded by the other party, he knows what to do.

"By the way, saber... are you going to have breakfast?"

After leaving the witch of betrayal's magic workshop and closing the door.

Xia Ran looked at the knight girl with bad eyes next to her, her eyes stayed on the furry above her head for a second, and then she decisively chose the correct dialogue option. Although he didn't have any friendship items on hand, he still hoped to seize every opportunity to increase his favorability.

"No, thank you."

The knight girl replied in a very cold tone. She didn't seem to appreciate her face very much. She just stood there without looking away, as if she was going to be a doorman, guarding Irisviel inside. .

Huh? Not quite right, doesn't it mean that Saber has no resistance to food?

Xia Ran felt a little puzzled, but she didn't ask the question. Instead, she glanced behind her and said in a calm tone, "It won't work for you to stay here... If I am true If you want to hurt her, you don't need so much trouble."

"I know this, but I don't have anything to do anyway, so I won't bother you..."

saber whispered, but still didn't have a good look on him.

"There's nothing to do?" Xia Ran repeated this sentence with a weird expression, and then couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "Even if it's me, I think you should have a lot of things to do now, for example, Don't you care about the berserker?"

“…”

“…”

"You don't need to worry about this, Master, I naturally have my judgment..."

Alturia immediately looked around subconsciously, but did not find any trace of the black resentful spirit, so she retracted her gaze and looked at her temporary master.

She bit her lower lip angrily, trying her best to keep her voice from fluctuating.

"If that's the case, of course it's the best. It's not that my knight can't understand it. Although escaping can't solve the problem, it is really useful..." Xia Ran carefully observed the girl's expression, and then seemed to understand Like something, he said with a chuckle.

It seems that the king of knights has actually noticed something, but it may be out of escapism, so he chose to hide his ears and steal the bell.

It's no wonder that she hasn't mentioned the topic of berserker since late last night. It seems that she has selectively forgotten it... Now it seems that she is not big-hearted, but is escaping the truth and does not want to face the cruel truth. That's it.

"What is escaping! A person like you...how can you possibly understand what I'm thinking?" Artoria seemed to be provoked by his light words, her hands clenched into fists and glared at him, It's as if the next moment will go directly to the hands.

By the way, after the contract object was changed to Xia Ran and she got a sufficient supply of magic power, her current ability parameters have also been improved, although agility, durability, magic power, etc. have probably reached the upper limit, There is no way to improve it, it is still A-level.

However, the muscle strength has been raised from B to A, and luck has also been raised from D to A+...that is, the true king of all A. It is true that all attributes are A, including the chest.

If this kind of strong muscle strength gives Xia Ran a punch at close range, it is not a fragrant pink punch.

It's just that the magician didn't care, he looked straight at Saber's emerald green eyes without fear, and said softly:

"Of course I understand, and I fully understand it, it has nothing to do with who I am... Saber, before you were summoned to the Holy Grail War this time, you just experienced life A final battle?"

"W-what? How do you know..." Saber stared at him in disbelief.

"Because I saw it directly after I signed the contract last night..."

Xia Ran calmly explained that he really had a proper reason for this, and he wasn't lying——

"I saw the blood-colored earth, and the blood-colored sunset. The corpses of countless people fell on the battlefield, and you were kneeling on the blood-stained hills and weeping..."

"Shut up! Stop talking"

The knight girl bit her lower lip tightly, her petite body and slender shoulders trembling slightly, as if she was forced to recall the terrible nightmare that happened not long ago because of Xia Ran's words.

For people of this era, it is the "Battle of the Sword Bar" that is talked about with great relish. It is the last battle of the legendary King Arthur. It happened thousands of years ago, and it is still uncertain whether it is true or not. history or fictional legends.

But for her, it happened not long ago. In the time before the end of the last battle, before her death, she signed a contract to become a heroic spirit, and was then summoned to this era to directly participate in Fourth Holy Grail War.

Because the king hated the demise of Britain too much, and refused his own redemption, the vicious miracle picked up her wish, and the will of the "world" was called by the miserable pain, and made a contract with the hero who seeks miracles In an instant, her time was frozen.

She entrusted her posthumous soul to the "world" and embarked on a journey in search of miracles.

Once the contract is not fulfilled, she can only watch the battlefield under the tragic sunset around her again and again in a time that has lost its meaning, a moment equal to eternity, waiting for the next call. Endlessly fighting on the other side of time and space.

Because she was still alive before being summoned as a servant, she was not a normal Heroic Spirit that turned into a real hero after death in reality, so she did not go to the Heroic Spirit Throne at all, but was in the final stage of her life.

In other words, the king of knights in front of Xia Ran actually just experienced the battle of Jianlan not long ago. She saw the demise of her own country and the end of the knights...

It can be said that now is the time when she is most vulnerable and confused. Because of the collapse of the country and the collapse of her family, everything she built with her own hands has been destroyed. This kind of thing even happened to her less than a month ago, in the modern world. This time was not enough to heal the wounds in her heart.

"Well, sorry, I took the liberty..." Xia Ran nodded lightly, sensing the girl's sadness and anger, so she wisely ended the topic.

He didn't say anything else, and turned around to leave here, but at this time, Arturia stopped him: "Wait, the scabbard you mentioned earlier...is it my scabbard? ?"

"Yes." The magician confirmed, and then left freely.

“…”

“…”

Saber stood there, staring at the back of the nasty fellow and disappearing, motionless and dazed.

The scabbard of the holy sword was something she had lost during her lifetime, so she never thought that she would be able to touch it again. If it wasn't for the other person saying the keyword, she couldn't even remember it. According to legend, the loss of this sheath cast an ominous shadow on her life, which ultimately led to the collapse of the kingdom.

At this moment, she recalled those long days in a trance, recalling the girl who never paid attention to the lively arena where the men fought each other and just faced the sword pierced in the rock by herself .

What were you thinking about at that time?

What kind of determination did it take to reach for the hilt of the sword?

The memories have long been blurred, and I can't remember them, but the only thing I can be sure of is that my fault must have been committed that day.

"I'm sorry..."

The girl muttered to herself, as if the figure of the roaring and hating black ghost appeared in front of her eyes. Even though she was beaten very badly by the other party, she still couldn't restrain the urge to apologize.

Although she understands that her apology cannot be conveyed to anyone, the girl still repeats her repentance: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... people like me, me..."

Desperately clenching her lips and suppressing her crying self, she shouldn't be called a king at all.

There's no way to make amends, right? It's like the current self doesn't dare to face it at all, and doesn't dare to confirm the true identity of the other party.

But one day, after the endless battle, I will finally get the omnipotent cauldron that can achieve all miracles. At that time, the mistakes I made could be erased through miracles...

She knew from the beginning that the one who drew the sword would die more miserably than anyone else, and was hated and died by everyone, and she clearly accepted it.

But isn't it the only one who will destroy? Is it not the foolish king alone who will meet foolish death?

So -- it's wrong, absolutely wrong.
