Chapter 87 Selflessness and Selfishness
"What did you say? This little girl has the greatest ambition! Hahaha, don't laugh so hard. I thought you were a hero and must have a unique vision, but I didn't expect you to say such ridiculous things."
Archer on the side heard Hui Jin's words and laughed loudly. He looked at Hui Jin with contempt and an interesting look on his face, "Tell me, why is this little girl the most ambitious? I want to hear your jokes."
Looking at Archer lightly, Hui Jin took a sip of wine and said to everyone, "Have you ever heard of such a saying, the so-called most selfless people are the most selfish people. This little girl in front of me is the one who is selfless and
The epitome of selfishness.”
"Oh, it's an interesting point of view to be selfless yet selfish, but I'm not a philosopher. What you said needs to be more specific." Rider made a grimace and looked like he didn't understand at all.
Saber also asked angrily, "Ashes, what are you talking about? When have I been the most selfish person!"
Ashes pressed his hands and said slowly, "Don't be so excited, I will tell you slowly. Now, Rider, let me ask you, if you want to get a body and conquer, what do you want?
The result or the process of conquest?”
The rider frowned, squeezed the bar and pondered for a moment before replying, "I... what I am fascinated by is the process of conquest! Not the so-called results! Although the more results, the better!"
"Yes, that's it. Otherwise, if you just made a wish to get all the treasures in the world, and become the co-owner of the world, would it be over soon? Why do you want to get a body? Mental stimulation is more exciting than physical stimulation.
People are fascinated, and it becomes even more difficult to extricate themselves." Ashes shrugged and said to everyone.
"Archer, too. He has all the treasures in the world, but do you really know how to use them one by one? No, the pleasure of just getting them and being proud of everyone is irresistible to you, right?
"
"Humph, how can a mere cultivator understand the king's feelings?" The Jin Shining who was being talked about tilted his head arrogantly, not knowing whether he didn't want to look at Ashes or wanted to put his ear closer to listen more carefully. He didn't deny it.
It means you are right.
"That's no problem. It's the same with Saber, but she's more important than you. You still care about the feelings of your subjects during the conquest and the opinions of others, but Saber doesn't. She lives in her own world.
Live in your own ideals and impose your own ideals on everyone." Hui Jin looked around and said with a smile to everyone.
"Nonsense! I...I didn't do this!" Saber shouted angrily at Ashes, her angry look looking very interesting.
But Rider and Archer on the side nodded slightly and invisibly. Rider looked at Ashes, laughed and said, "Hahahaha, continue, I am interested in your remarks."
Ashes glanced at the angry Saber and said to her calmly, "You said you didn't? So good... Let me ask you, you said you wanted to change the tragic history, have you asked about history? You said you wanted to change the country's history.
Destiny, have you asked about destiny? You said you want to save your country, have you asked the country? You said you want to save your subjects, but have you... asked them? Have you asked them if they need your rescue?
And I have always firmly believed that people who don’t know how to save themselves are not worth saving!”
"I...I..." Saber, who was speechless, couldn't help but take a step back. Ashes stood up unforgivingly and approached Saber step by step. As he walked, he said, "You live in your own world. Do you think you are right?"
Since it is the truth and the norms that others should abide by, and to impose it on others, it is the greatest selflessness for you to sacrifice for the country, but you want to change your wrong past, make yourself unblemished, and make no mistakes in your life.
This is your greatest selfishness! You who think you are noble are the most disgusting!"
Saber was asked and stepped back repeatedly. Finally, she tripped over the steps behind her and fell to the ground. However, Saber had no intention of getting up. She stared blankly at Ashes who was glaring at her, and a sentence echoed in her heart:
King Arthur doesn’t understand people’s hearts.”
These words were spoken by one of her respected Knights of the Round Table, the very powerful and very loyal Tristan. Arturia never knew why these words were said to her, until today...
Rider and Archer applauded from behind. Although there were only two people applauding, the applause was thunderous. "Well said! I finally understand what you mean by selfless and selfish. That's right! This is the best evaluation of the little girl.
!" Rider shouted hello to Ashes loudly, and even whistled twice.
Archer also applauded this scene, "Wonderful! It's really wonderful. You are called Ashes. You are such a cruel bastard! Hahaha, you woke up a poor little girl from her dream and asked her to face it.
Cruel reality! It’s truly the best show! I’m starting to like you!”
Ellie, who was behind Saber, looked at Saber worriedly, and glanced at Ashes angrily. They are all comrades in arms. Although what you said makes sense, you can't destroy her confidence at this time!
Hui Jin shook his hair and let out a long breath, "Huh! I said it's cool. Actually, I'm not targeting you. It's just that the ruler of my previous place had almost the same problem as you. But he was more selfish than you. They all had their problems.
Sent out of feeling, just out of feeling..."
The rider heard the words and smiled evilly, "Oh, then your life must not have been a good one before. Hahahaha."
"It's not that it's not beautiful, but it's like being in hell!" Ashes turned his head to face the dull-eyed Saber and continued, "Destruction is always accompanied by rebirth. Nothing is eternal, not even people, countries, the world...
Yes. Blindly saving things that should be destroyed or have been destroyed will only lead to more tragedies."
Leaving Saber sitting alone on the ground, Ashes returned to the wine glass, picked it up and drank it in one gulp, exhaling happily, "Hey, drinking after scolding someone is really fun! Huh?"
Suddenly he became angry and weird, the few people who were laughing became serious, and the dull people also instantly became on guard.
Saber couldn't care less to continue thinking, and ran to Ellie's side in an instant and said, "Ellie, be careful, there is something nearby."
One after another, black shadows appeared from the flower beds and the road, surrounding everyone in the center. It seemed that there was no chance of escaping.
Rider turned to Archer and asked, "Jin Pika, is this your arrangement?"
"Damn Tokiomi, you are really deserving of death for using such lingering means to disturb my pleasure."
Ashes also pulled the fireproof girl to his side, squinted his eyes and looked at the Assassin who appeared in front of him, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
The rider suddenly raised his wine glass and said to the many assassins, "Come on, your blood is with this wine, come and drink this cup with us!"
Archer raised his eyebrows and asked, "Rider, can these garbage also join our party?"
"Of course, the king is speaking to all the people. Regardless of whether we are friends or enemies, everyone should come and listen..." Before Rider could finish speaking, a flying knife flew over and knocked over the wine in Rider's hand. Rider's face was gloomy.
He came down. Assassin's laughter came from beside him.
"I see, I should have said that your blood is with this wine. Since you accidentally knocked over the wine, I won't be polite." Rider slowly stood up and looked at the many assassins with evil intentions.
, exactly like I am surrounding all of you by myself.
Before Rider could get angry, a hand was placed on his shoulder. Rider turned around and saw Hui Jing looking at him with squinted eyes and a smile on his face, "I know you are unhappy, but... can these bastards be allowed to go away?"
Give me?"
Rider was furious and said to Ashes, "But, this is my banquet, I should..."
"Personal grudge" Hui Jin opened his squinted eyes slightly, and Rider saw only boundless killing intent in the small crack.
"Okay, okay, hatred is greater than heaven. You have the final say if you have hatred." Rider shrugged helplessly, turned around and sat down again, picked up the wine glass and drank unhappily.
Ashes opened his hands slightly, looked at the Assassin beside him, and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, the troublesome guy disappeared by himself. I can finally vent my anger on you, and that guy named Kotomine Kirei."
