Saber's firm declaration caused everyone present to fall into a strange silence.
The Emperor and Twinkle both suspected that they heard wrongly and did not react. Ren just drank and ate in silence, waiting for the three kings to fight.
Therefore, the first person who was a little confused was King Da Mao. She could understand that Ren didn't speak. After all, they had talked about this topic many times and had said everything that needed to be said.
But why didn't the others say anything?
Although her speech was indeed very strong, the other two kings were not so shocked that they could not speak.
The meaning of her words should be very clear. They should have some reaction at least. Are they too shocked or difficult to understand?
After a while, the emperor had a puzzled expression on his face:
"King of Knights, when you said you wanted to save your country, did you mean you wanted to overturn the past history?"
"Yes, but if the Holy Grail is really omnipotent, it will definitely save Britain!" Saber's words were sonorous and powerful, and her attitude remained firm.
At this time, she looked around and realized that except for Wu Ming who kept eating, the Conqueror King and Hero King in front of her all had expressions of low interest on their faces.
"Saber, let me make sure first... that country called Britain perished during your time, right? Was it when you ruled?"
"That's right! That's why I can't accept it. I hope to change the ending! It's all because of me..." Saber was a little confused about the reactions of the two of them.
She also discussed this topic with Wu Ming, and he at least expressed understanding.
But Wuming insisted that she had done well enough and there was no need to do it again, or pointed out that she was too idealistic and selfless, and that she should take care of herself and learn more about the thoughts of her subordinates.
But one thing Saber didn't realize was that Ren was not a king. He could give opinions, but he did not have his own "kingly way" to compare with her "kingly way".
But Emperor and Jin Shining have it, so of course they will compare.
"Hahahaha, ahhahahaha..."
The scene suddenly burst into laughter. It was none other than Mr. Jin, an enthusiastic citizen. He almost laughed like a pig.
The smile was very nasty and unscrupulous, a ruthless mockery that kicked away all etiquette and respect.
Saber's face froze, and the unbearable humiliation made her emerald pupils dyed with anger.
This was completely different from Wuming's teasing of her. He had never ridiculed her ideals, but the title "little girl" made her a little uncomfortable at first.
Next to Saber, Ren looked at Jin Shining who was so unscrupulous and laughing so hard that his stomach cramped, and he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
Although he had angered Artoria several times, even if he added the words "crazy woman", it would not be half as harmful to her as Mr. Jin's smile at this moment.
Saber was really angry, not the kind of anger that was superficial, but the anger that really came from deep in her heart.
She asked with a cold face:
"King of Heroes, what's so funny about this?"
Jin Shining completely ignored Saber's glare, laughed so hard that he was out of breath, and said happily:
"A person who calls himself a king and is respected as a king by the masses actually feels regretful?
Hahahaha! How can people not laugh at this kind of thing? It’s amazing, Saber! You are such a funny clown!”
Mr. Jin was so happy that he became a little interested in King Da Mao.
The Emperor beside him also frowned, looking at Saber with a serious expression, and his tone was a little unhappy:
"King of Knights, when you say you want to save Britain that has perished, do you want to deny the history you created?"
"That's it. Surprised? Is it funny? The country that I dedicated my body and soul to protect as the king has perished, and I mourn for it. Is it funny?"
King Da Mao's face turned completely cold and he asked.
She was answered by Mr. Jin's loud laughter again.
"Hey, hey, did you hear what she was saying? Rider, Caster, this little girl who claims to be the King of Knights, actually said something about dedicating her body and mind to the country. Hahahaha, I laughed to death!"
Twinkle kept laughing wildly, this was the happiest time he had ever been in this era.
The Emperor was silent for a while, and the expression on his face became increasingly serious. He discovered that Saber was very seriously ill and needed to be cured!
"King of Conquerors, King of Heroes, what do you mean? As the leader of a country, you should wholeheartedly hope that the country you govern will always prosper!" Saber tried her best to suppress her anger and said loudly.
"No, you are wrong." The emperor retorted firmly and seriously, "It is not the king who dedicates himself, but the country. The people must dedicate their wealth and life to the king. It is definitely not the other way around!"
"What did you say?!" Saber's voice became hoarse due to excessive anger, and she reprimanded, "That is simply the rule of a tyrant, you──"
Suddenly, Saber's words stopped abruptly, her body trembled, and she turned her inquiring eyes to Ren.
The kingly way of a tyrant can also unite people's hearts, and tyrants are also heroes recognized by history. These are what he told her.
But──
Wu Ming also said that she has done well enough.
The Emperor noticed this and looked thoughtfully at Ren, who was wiping his mouth with a tissue:
"Wu Ming, you should have talked to her, aren't you going to say something?"
A smile appeared on Ren's face, and he first glanced at Mr. Jin, who was laughing wildly:
"Jin Pika over there, that's about it. Please pay attention to the occasion. You still need to have some quality as a person."
Mr. Jin snorted coldly when he heard this, and his smile gradually faded as he stared at him. The eyes of the emperor and Saber also stayed on him.
Ren coughed lightly, leaned gently on the chair, and said calmly:
"Saber, you should understand this time. Although they are all kings, you are not the same as them.
When you discuss the right way with them, it is just a chicken-and-duck talk. Don't be angry, you have done a good enough job, and they don't need to acknowledge your right way."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Saber was slightly stunned, thoughtful, and she admitted that she was still a little moved.
The emperor on the side frowned: "Wu Ming, what do you mean?"
"It's okay, you and her are on two different paths.
The Knight King is a king who rises when the country is in crisis. She suppresses unrest, resists foreign invasion, prays for stability, and hopes for the prosperity of the country.
The King of Conquerors is a lord of overlords. He invades and expands all the way, provokes wars, plunders treasures, and conquers large areas of territory along the way. What he prays for is continuous conquest.
The king who hopes to bring peace to troubled times and the king who himself causes troubled times.
The royal ways of the two are almost completely opposite. How can they agree with each other?
The Hero King on the other side was the slave owner of Uruk in ancient times. He took life, death and possessions from slaves, so he naturally believed that slaves should dedicate everything to their masters.
He, the king who possesses all the wealth, said something to him about selfless dedication, serving the public wholeheartedly, and devoting everything to the country. Naturally, he laughed wildly and dismissed it.
In this case, Saber, there is no need for you to say anything to them. They are both tyrants and can understand each other, but you and them are not the same person."
Ren narrated in a calm tone, and everyone had mixed reactions.
Saber nodded slightly, and the tense expression on her face relaxed a little.
She was a little impatient just now, eager to prove herself in front of other kings, so she lost her sense of proportion.
The Emperor and Shining looked at each other, and Shining frowned but said nothing. The Emperor coughed lightly and said:
"Wu Ming, having said that, do you think she is right? Especially the act of trying to subvert history."
"I didn't say that, I advised her to give up the idea.
But King of Conquerors, before I say this, I have to remind you that you can point out her shortcomings, but don't try to impose your royal ways on her.
The era she lives in and the situation she faces are different from yours, and Britain is not the Macedonian Empire. No matter how good your plan is, it may not work in Britain."
Ren looked at the King of Conqueror with sharp eyes. Unlike the malicious Twinkle, the King reminded Saber out of good intentions.
Maybe it wasn't intentional, but the emperor subconsciously mixed it up with his own personal gain. He tried to impose his royal way on King Dumao, and he used some strong words.
"I see."
The emperor touched the fiery red beard on his chin and nodded slightly. Well, he admitted that he was a little excited just now.
"However, I still don't approve of her attempt to subvert history."
Saber was about to answer when Ren explained it to her first.
"King of Conquerors, please be a little considerate of her tragic wish. Although the Macedonian Empire soon fell apart after your death, you were always very prosperous during your lifetime.
I don’t say whether you have any regrets in your heart, but at least you didn’t witness the demise of your country.
But she watched helplessly as the country she worked so hard to build was destroyed step by step. The mountains and rivers were shattered, the wind and rain were in turmoil, and all the people were devastated. In the end, only mountains of corpses and seas of blood were left.
Iskandar, can you understand this feeling? The people, subordinates, relatives and friends... almost all passed away before our eyes. Just their piled corpses could not be seen at a glance.
Faced with this tragic situation, the idea of trying to save something arose in my heart. Is it difficult to understand?
Remember! You are different from her! She is kinder than you and can be considered a wise king. Don’t use the bullshit theory you and the King of Heroes have that ‘the king will never regret it’.
Everyone may regret some things in their past, but who says that the king cannot regret it?"
That scene flashed through Saber's mind again.
At dusk, the hills are stained with blood.
In the endless river of corpses and blood, the lives that ended there were once her courtiers, friends and relatives.
Her body trembled, she took a few deep breaths to calm down, and looked at Wuming with a somewhat complicated look.
Artoria also realized that she had always been biased and hostile towards him.
After all, Wuming was a "negative teaching material" to her who had given up her obsessions and ideals, so she subconsciously rejected him.
From being a hero to not being a hero, from drawing a sword to fight for others, to drawing a sword and living for yourself, this is what he said.
Wuming's stance is actually quite objective, but she doesn't like some of his ideas very much.
The Emperor fell silent upon hearing this, and his mood was quite heavy. After a moment, his lips moved, but he didn't really make a sound.
He wants to say that the country is destroyed, and he will mourn for it and shed tears, but he will never regret it.
But as Wu Ming said, she is different from him!
He forced this set of thoughts into his mind without considering her feelings at all.
Moreover, after Wu Ming's reminder, he also believed that it would be too cruel to witness the destruction of his country with his own eyes.
To a certain extent, the story of King Da Mao is not romantic at all, but is full of tragedy and a cruel sense of fate.
It was only when Ren came to this world that he realized that maybe it was the difference in the parallel world. The Artoria he knew was much more serious and old-fashioned than he remembered.
There are far more times when I am like a king than like a little girl.
The heavy pressure makes her rarely show her lively and cute side, but more of her tenacious side as the King of Knights.
The emperor took a deep breath and his eyes became deeper:
"So, the destruction of Britain was due to a problem with Saber's rule? Or was it because of her lack of ability?"
This question is very acute, and it can be said that it goes straight to the core essence of a king.
Saber's expression changed, and she suddenly lowered her head, her face a little frustrated, and her words were full of self-blame and guilt:
"That's right, it's all because I didn't do well enough that Britain..."
"Don't take everything on yourself, it has nothing to do with you." Ren snorted and interrupted her rudely.
Why was he a little angry? King Daimao was stunned for a while. The emperor asked meaningfully:
"Wu Ming, it has nothing to do with her, so why did Britain perish?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "An era is coming to an end. This is just an inevitable result."
"The end of an era?"
"Yes, since the death of the Magic King Solomon, the mystery has begun to fade. As an island, Britain has declined further than the mystery on various continents.
But the end of the Age of Gods is inevitable, and in the era of Saber, the remaining mysteries of Britain will inevitably withdraw from the stage of history to complete the change of the times.
This trend cannot be stopped by humans.
Just like the King of Heroes over there, the era he lived in was the time when humans and gods were separated. He was the wedge of heaven, and Enkidu was the lock of heaven.
But I believe the King of Heroes knows the final result very well."
Sure enough, when Ren said these words, not only did the emperor look surprised, but his golden and bloody pupils stared at him.
Ren's expression remained unchanged and he continued:
"Under the general trend, who can single-handedly prevent the change of the times?
The chains of heaven are broken, people return to people, and gods return to gods.
Britain died, the Age of Gods ended, the dragon species disappeared, and the elves disappeared... Human beings became the protagonists of the world, and the laws of physics gradually covered the entire planet..."
Although this kind of thing is not a top secret, people in later generations may not be very clear about it.
A trace of surprise flashed in Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes. He had never thought that the story of the little girl from the King of Knights was so complicated. Weber also looked curious.
Saber's expression became very strange. She was the creator of the story and a witness to the end of the age of gods.
She always felt that Wu Ming knew that era very well and was familiar with Britain, Camelot City, the Knights of the Round Table and her.
If she hadn't really had any impression of him, she would have suspected that he was actually a certain magician of that era.
"Wu Ming, who are you in history? You claim to have met me many times, and you recognized my identity the first time you met.
Now I believe that you are not lying, so, what is your background?" Jin Shining suddenly asked, he narrowed his red eyes and stared at Wu Ming.
But no matter how he looked, he didn't find anything unusual.
Only Wuming's vague sense of threat proves that this Caster is absolutely very powerful.
When Wuming released his breath just now, it even caused him a lot of pressure. For him, this was a very rare situation, proving that he could really challenge him.
This kind of strength cannot be unknown.
But after he thought about it carefully, he really couldn't find any famous magician in history who could match up with this Caster.
The emperor and Saber also looked at Wu Ming curiously, feeling that he actually had a lot of background, but until now, they don't know his specific origin.
"An unknown person, a second-rate mage." Ren explained lightly, and this was the answer to everyone who asked.
He didn't hide it intentionally, and there is no legend about him in this world. Even "Wu Ming" came from a parallel world.
Jin Shining frowned, but did not ask further questions. For the first time, he had some unexplainable feelings.
King Da Mao snorted lightly, this liar was mysterious and made such perfunctory statements again.
Disappointed once again, not being able to know the details of Caster, Emiya Kiritsugu and Weber were also a little disappointed in their eyes.
The emperor shook his head and suppressed his curiosity about Wu Ming's identity. There was nothing they could do if people refused to tell him.
He turned to look at Saber, his eyes full of doubts:
"Then, King of Knights, you must also know that Britain is bound to perish, so why do you say you want to save it?
Even if you make a wish with the Holy Grail, you can't stop the change of times, right?"
"this……"
Arturia opened her lips slightly, and the scenery of the past on the Kamlan Hill overlooking the corpse mountain and the sea of blood reappeared in front of her eyes.
If she thought about it carefully, when she pulled out the sword in the stone, someone had predicted that the future would be a scene of destruction, and she should have been mentally prepared for it.
But even if you have realized it.
When she actually witnessed that scene, she couldn't help but think about it and have the thought of praying.
She hoped for a completely different possibility that could even overturn the magician's (referring to Merlin) prediction.
But──
Now she has no such ambitions, and just wants to bring Britain to a gentler end.
Rather than a cruel ending that is as tragic as purgatory on earth.
When Saber said that she hoped someone could pull out the sword in the stone for her and give Britain a gentler ending.
Except for Ren who sighed, everyone was dumbfounded.
