Chapter 173 The king doesn't understand people's hearts
Chapter 173 The king doesn’t understand people’s hearts (second update)
Light screen image, not long after, Kuu Maiya arrived, and directly called Irisviel and Saber to go somewhere together.
During this period, several people had a conversation, and from the conversation, it was known that Irisviel and Saber came here because of Emiya Kiritsugu's arrangement, because the Einzbern Castle has been exposed and even has a defensive barrier.
All were broken.
The damage there is now serious. Even if it can be repaired, it will take a long time. During the Holy Grail War, it is not worth the gain, so we simply give up and move to another secret base.
With the character of Emiya Kiritsugu, how could there be no safe house?
Therefore, he had already used the assets of the Einzbern family to purchase real estate in Fuyuki City, and made preparations in advance to build a private house into a secret base.
This residence is a Japanese-style courtyard, quite large, and because it is located in the old city, it is also a house for wealthy people. In addition to the residence, there is also a dojo and a warehouse.
Then, the narration subtitles intimately explained that Shiemoniya Kiritsugu acquired this mansion from a local Yakuza family.
After people in the real world learned about this situation, they couldn't help but sympathize deeply with the Yakuza family. After all, Emiya Kiritsugu's performance so far did not look like someone who would be happy with the Yakuza family.
There is a high probability that this place was obtained through some extraordinary means, and it is even possible that the Yakuza family is finished.
After all, Emiya Kiritsugu is a ‘partner of justice’.
Although this so-called partner of justice looks more despicable and shameless than a normal villain, he is a partner of justice after all, and he may not be the same as the Yakuza family.
Of course, since the things this righteous partner does are always surprising and all kinds of crazy, it is possible for a righteous partner to really make good friends with the Yakuza family, gain their friendship, and get them at a low price.
Get off this mansion.
It’s not that Kuroe Miya Kiritsugu was deliberately targeted, it’s mainly because what he has done since the beginning of the Holy Grail War makes it difficult to associate him with the word ‘justice’.
Anyway, the current public opinion in the real world has made the important noun and adjective "justice" very strange because of Emiya Kiritsugu.
In the light screen image, shortly after Irisviel and the others arrived at this new base, Emiya Kiritsugu also arrived.
After arriving, Emiya Kiritsugu made a surprise: "I have solved the master of Lancer and the master of Assassin, and now there are four groups of participants in the Holy Grail War left. If nothing else happens, the Holy Grail will be held in these two days.
The war should end."
The sudden words made Saber and Irisviel stunned. They were obviously shocked by these words.
How long has it been?
How long did it take for Bluebeard and the Roshan monster to be solved? Was it an hour?
Moreover, everyone is working together tonight, and they are temporary allies. Is it really okay if they fall out and stab each other in the back just after the cooperation ends?
Saber's expression suddenly became very ugly.
She doesn't mind using some methods in the Holy Grail War, but these methods also have a bottom line. Backstabbing her allies is undoubtedly challenging her bottom line!
Irisviel also felt that Emiya Kiritsugu had gone too far, and couldn't help but ask weakly: "Well, Kiritsugu, is this really okay? That Mr. Kenneth, and Kotomine Kirei, did it before
They are all important partners for us to defeat Caster and that big monster..."
Hearing this, Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at Irisviel, then at Saber, who looked very ugly, and then said in a deep voice: "8 people died and 145 people were injured."
Hearing this, Irisviel and Saber were both stunned.
Emiya Kiritsugu: "These are the casualties tonight. The Holy Grail War has only been going on for a few days, and it has already caused a lot of damage. So, Airi, I want to end the Holy Grail War as soon as possible."
Without too much explanation, Irisviel already understood this.
The considerate silver-haired young woman immediately adjusted her mentality. Although she couldn't bear it, she still nodded: "I understand, Kiritsugu."
Without words, the couple didn't need too many words to convey their feelings.
Saber next to her still had an ugly expression, but she didn't say anything, because as Emiya Kiritsugu said, the Holy Grail War caused many casualties to innocent people.
No matter how complete the rules of the Holy Grail War are, no matter how many restrictions there are, it will inevitably cause casualties to innocent passers-by.
If she wants to end this situation, she must end the Holy Grail War as soon as possible. Moreover, although Emiya Kiritsugu's behavior makes her despise her, she also understands that it is natural to use certain methods in war.
As King Arthur, he still understands these things.
It's just that this really went against Saber's will, making her very conflicted and her expression very ugly.
Staring at Emiya Kiritsugu, Saber seemed to see 'himself' in a trance, and a flashback appeared.
In front of the solemn but dimly lit round table, the king sat in front of the round table, looking at the quarrel of the knights of the round table in front of the round table with a somewhat gloomy expression.
The content of this quarrel is a battle in which the enemy is numerous and we are outnumbered, the enemy is strong and we are weak.
In order to win this battle, the girl as the king chose to sacrifice a village, and finally achieved a great victory with minimal casualties.
However, this way of sacrificing the people to win, although it minimizes one's own casualties, is unacceptable to those upright Knights of the Round Table, so the boss won, and the Knights of the Round Table also because of this incident
Got into a quarrel.
Some people support King Arthur, some express indignation, and some choose to remain silent.
This quarrel took place in front of the legendary Round Table. The huge Round Table, which represents the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, was displayed in front of the world through light screen images.
People in the real world were surprised to realize through this video that the Knights of the Round Table and King Arthur were not as united as in the legend, and the Knights of the Round Table did not support King Arthur as mindlessly as in the story.
The most important thing is that the king who was portrayed as extremely perfect actually had a "black history" of sacrificing his people to win.
This is so subversive that many people in the real world are confused.
Especially people from the Holy British Empire found it even more difficult to accept this situation. Many people even shouted that it was slander and slander, and were completely unable to accept this subversive development.
As a result, this attracted ridicule and gloating from many people from other countries. After all, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table were not liked by everyone, especially the feuding Napoleon Empire, which made countless people laugh like pigs.
Nothing pleases some more than having the image of a saint destroyed.
There is no doubt that this is definitely a good thing for some people, especially those powerful people in the Holy British Empire.
They were afraid that their power would be taken away by the reincarnation of King Arthur. After seeing this scene that proved that King Arthur was not perfect, they were even more excited. They had planned to use the power they had to increase publicity of this scene to criticize King Arthur.
To discredit the image.
After all, a king who sacrifices the people of his country in order to win is not a good leader for those common people.
The butt determines the head. Although these guys actually think that King Arthur did the right thing, and even went too far than King Arthur in doing it, this kind of thing must never be exposed.
The so-called ZZ correctness means that the slogan must be loud and the superficial skills must be in place.
Once this situation is exposed, it will become an excuse for the enemy to attack.
Politicians have always understood this kind of thing, and every one of them is a master in this aspect, so they took action directly.

At Yaoguang-Chaldea Headquarters, Morgan frowned deeply and subconsciously looked at the mobile phone next to her. The pretty face of Arturia during the video call also fell into her eyes.
She was worried that Artoria would find it difficult to accept King Arthur's dark history, and she was also worried that her sister would be attacked by public opinion because of this memory.
As someone who has been exposed to ZZ filth since childhood, Morgan knows more than Arturia, who is very dark in this regard.
After seeing the light screen image, Artoria had a slightly stunned expression on her face. Obviously, the inherited memory she had mastered did not include the current content.
Therefore, his expression quickly became a little uncomfortable.
However, it is within an acceptable range, because when she was beaten in various ways by the black King Arthur in the promotion to the Holy Realm (training space), the Black King Arthur said many times that King Arthur is not as holy as he appears.
Wuxia does have a dark side, and her existence is proof of that.
Obviously, the dark side mentioned by Black King Arthur refers to the situation in the light curtain image.
but……
Although it was an image of destruction, I had an inexplicable and wonderful thought, "Oh, it turns out that King Arthur also has shortcomings." Suddenly, I felt that King Arthur was no longer so illusory, but a living person.
————
The three handsome and elegant teachers at Tianwang International High School, Gao Wen, Trace and Lant, all had ugly expressions.
However, the three of them did not feel uncomfortable because King Arthur's image was ruined.
On the contrary, the three of them all have a deep understanding of history, and the youngest of them is thirty-five years old. They do not have such naive ideas.
No matter how wise and powerful the ancient kings were, they all had obvious shortcomings.
Therefore, a little dust on King Arthur's perfect image will not change the three people's views on King Arthur - it is absolutely impossible for the fan-like admiration to change because of these small problems.
The reason why the three of them had ugly expressions and were obviously in a bad mood was simply because of the quarrel between the Knights of the Round Table in the light screen image.
The three of them felt that the Knights of the Round Table inside were really noisy. Since they were the king's knights, they should unconditionally support the king's decision!
Although sacrificing his people to gain victory is not a just choice, is that what the king wants?
Would the king have made such a decision against his will if it were not for the purpose of preventing excessive casualties on his own side and protecting the precarious country?
You scumbags, even if you don't understand the king, you still dare to question the king! It's really unforgivable! Bastards!
Especially the Knight of the Round Table, whose voice is very similar to Trace's, you are the noisiest! Shut up!
————
The light screen image seemed to hear the voices of the three Cowherd-level teachers. The knight with a voice similar to Trace stood up and left the table.
The footage of this scene was covered up by a shady cover, so it was impossible to see the knight's appearance clearly. We only knew that he seemed to be wearing silver armor.
As he left the meeting, he said something that made many people's blood pressure rise.
"I will quit the Knights of the Round Table because the king does not understand people's hearts..."
The second update today, there will be no third update. It was already five o'clock when I got home from the hospital in the afternoon. The doctor said that I may have been too stressed recently and pushed myself too hard, which caused my blood pressure to not come down. I must keep relaxed.
Otherwise, if you remain in a state of anxiety, big problems will arise.
My family members also advised me not to write anymore at night, otherwise no one knows what will happen. I think so too.
Therefore, I will update during the day from now on. After the treatment in the past few days, I will enter the time to concentrate on coding during the day and work and rest like normal people.
In this way, you can maintain your health while staying updated.
