Stray Chapter 70: Return

I don't know how long it has passed...

I finally felt the correction from the world in the muddled...

I seem to be losing the will and strength to stay in this world, and I can't feel the connection of the contract...

Probably because, the magician like the lasagna has left this world now, right?

Saber raised his head and glanced at Xue Ye, pursed his lips, and accepted the fate that he began to leave the world.

She didn't have any resistance to this, she just knelt quietly on the snow, waiting for the final moment - all of this may be a long and euphemistic punishment for the "King who doesn't understand people's heart" , she deserves it all.

She is always right and she believes in it. Despite this, she still ignored the anguish and troubles of too many people, just as she ignored Lancelot and Guinevere's pain.

She can't figure it out, and she doesn't understand why she can't figure it out, this is the limit of Arturia, the king of knights.

Could it be that Kamrancho's tragic situation was not a trick of fate, but an inevitable consequence of her governance?

"Wow..."

At the moment when she gradually lost contact with the real world, she could not help sobbing, letting the tears flow on her face, her eyes were hazy.

Because she is about to die soon, no matter what she thinks or does, it will not be recorded in history. She also doesn't have to assign herself the title of king, it doesn't matter even if she shows weakness, it doesn't matter even if she loses face.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... people like me..."

Although she understands that her apology cannot be conveyed to anyone's heart, the girl still repeats her repentance, towards the unfulfilled ideal, towards the people who could not be saved, towards everything that vanished because of her being the king.

I thought that one day, after crossing the endless battle, I would be able to obtain the Holy Grail. At that time, all the mistakes that he has committed can be erased through miracles.

But the pain endured, the unceasing hatred, the glorious future...then, even the only hope that could be pinned on it was taken away.

She has nothing to lose now. She can only cry and repent in the moment called eternal, in the accusation called rest, and suffer in the endless punishment...

Should have been -- it was.

"It's too expensive, why is a saber so expensive...Are you charging me with my points? Just charge me as much as you see me?"

Familiar voices came from the front, and there was a feeling of gnashing of teeth.

"And I see other people's spiritual bodies, etc., they can be brought back directly when they are in hand. Why should the servant of my contract be charged?"

“…”

“…”

Waking up from a dream on the other side of time and space, Arturia, who had been kneeling in depression, unwilling to see the desolation and misery around her, raised her head subconsciously and slowly looked around.

She thought she would see a familiar scene—

The sunset sky is bloody.

The ground in front of me is also bloody.

The corpse that fell to the ground is the people who once believed in a young girl and supported her as king, offering her a triumphant song together. They were divided into two factions because of the instigation of the traitors. They regarded each other as enemies and slaughtered each other, and then fell together on this battlefield.

Also known as King Arthur's final place of death, at the foot of Kamran Hill.

Because she entrusted her posthumous soul to the "world" and embarked on a journey in search of miracles, her time was frozen before her death. Unless the contract is fulfilled, she can only return to Kamran Hill again and again, repeating that scene over and over again.

This battlefield will forever blame her and torture her—

That's why Artoria, who thought that she had returned to the battlefield under the setting sun again, was reluctant to look at the surrounding scenes.

What's so good about it? Her courtiers, her knights, and her friends all fell on this **** battlefield, and even the tragic son of Mordred, who was a traitor and inherited his own bloodline, fell on her. In front of her, she was pierced through the heart.

Because of a love-hate relationship, she lost everything.

However, what appeared in front of Artoria at the moment was a huge platform, surrounded by a dark and dead void like the depths of the universe, and the platform seemed to be suspended in this empty universe.

Above the platform, there is a soft white light sphere, like the only sun in this space, the light emitted as a light source dispels the surrounding darkness and illuminates the entire platform.

Not far away, there is a lonely wooden door standing on the platform, and in front of her is the back of the magician, who is extremely annoyed and talking to the light ball in the air, arguing about something.

For a split second, Arturia felt that she might be hallucinating.

"What's this...where?" she muttered to herself, her mind so confused that she couldn't react at all.

"Saber, you're awake, I just thought you've been motionless, you're falling asleep..." Xia Ran turned around, stopped her pointless laning behavior with the ball of light, and looked at The knight girl behind her.

"Where is this place? Why am I here?" The knight maiden asked again, staring at him.

"Hum, that's a good question."

Xia Ran sneered, and her voice was lowered all of a sudden, and there was an ultra-low pressure that seemed to be able to make the air temperature drop dramatically—

"This is a game. It's not a test of who made this game. Maybe it's gods, maybe it's demons, it's more likely to be aliens or future humans. In short, you are now one of the game's players. A member of the game, or has become a member of this game now. Putting a choice in the city feels confused, and feels that they are in front of corrupt people. When they choose this game, they will be sent to various horror movies. In the scene..."

“…”

“…”

Artoria did not speak, just stared at him closely.

"Cough, okay, as you can see, this is the outer side of the world, the Heroic Spirit constellation beyond the dimension and time axis..."

Under the girl's bright eyes, Xia Ran couldn't hold on any longer, so she pretended to cough twice and said this with a sincere face.

"The beings who have become Heroic Spirits will be freed from the constraints of time and move here..."

"You said this is the Throne of Heroes?"

Alturia was stunned for a moment, not sure if Xia Ran was lying, or if she was telling the truth, after all, as an exception among exceptions, she had never been to the Heroic Spirit Seat.

Without investigation, there is no right to speak. Since I don't know anything, there is no way to confirm Xia Ran's statement now.

"Well, at least...probably...maybe...maybe...it should be of a similar nature, I think this example can help you better understand..." Xia Ran stretched out an index finger and scratched her cheek , laughed a little awkwardly.

"Why do you use so many uncertain words?" Saber was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this person was unreliable.

"Let's put it this way, think about it carefully, it should have told you the corresponding information..." Xia Ran thought for a while and said.

saber frowned, but also subconsciously began to retrieve her own memory, and then as if some mechanism was triggered, a strange piece of information flowed into her consciousness...

The next moment, her expression froze, and within two seconds, she came back to her senses, biting her lower lip and staring at Xia Ran.

"Why do you look at me like that? This should be a win-win situation, right?" Xia Ranqi said, "Are you planning to go back to the battle of Jianlan to hug and cry? You will never be able to fulfill that contract?"

He sighed, and pointed at the ball of light in the sky: "You are willing to believe in the mechanism of Alaya that is basically lending usury to get you into the game, why are you unwilling to believe that it can really give you The promised land of infinite possibilities?"

"The Land of Infinite Possibilities... Promises Everything?"

Artoria was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, this is the center linking the worlds, a collection of infinite possibilities. It corresponds not to one world, but to an infinite universe of time and space. The miracle you seek also exists in other worlds, even more Advanced concepts."

Xia Ran said this confidently, with a delusional tone in her tone, as if she was deceiving people when they came in for pyramid schemes, brainwashing the other party and saying how bright the future of her and others' careers is—

"What the Holy Grail can't do doesn't mean that no other person or thing can do it. You were originally determined to cross the endless battle, and then get the Holy Grail to realize your wish? Now there is no change at all. , or is it more reliable than the Holy Grail, which is full of black mud?"

"..." Arturia was stunned, it seems that this is really the truth?

Because she hated the demise of Britain too much, she refused her own redemption. No matter what the price was, and how long the battle was, she would change the outcome of her rule.

Two times for one failure, three times for two failures... As long as she is still conscious and able to act, she will fight desperately for this goal...

The reason why she was so heartbroken before was because she found that she was determined to get the Holy Grail, but there was no way to realize her wish, and it was all Hei Xiang, so I won't talk about it, and her wish was too involved. big.

To change the history of the millennium length unit, so that the entire human nature changes...

Even with the power of the Holy Grail, there is absolutely no way to achieve that level of miracles.

What she is afraid of is not failure, but the cruel fact - even if she succeeds, she will not achieve her goal, which is what she is most afraid of.

In this case, the behavior of the magician in front of her still gave her a new dawn in despair, telling her that there is still possibility, but she needs to continue to fight and pursue...

"Really... there's still a chance of success? What if you can't find it anyway?"

The knight girl asked subconsciously, her tone so urgent that it seemed like a little girl who was worried about losing.

"Why not? In your world, isn't the concept of magic a miracle that turns the impossible into a possible miracle?" Xia Ran laughed dumbly, "If you really can't find it, create it yourself, as long as I don't die halfway through, Sooner or later, I will touch that realm!"

“…”

“…”

"Are you going to be a magician?" Saber stared at him suspiciously.

"Not just a magician." Xia Ran smiled slightly.
