Chapter 160 This Master is Not Reliable

Wait, this doesn't seem to be a problem at all?

How could the victory of a Holy Grail War possibly be more important than our King?

As long as we can continue to connect with this world, why should we be afraid of not being able to participate in the Holy Grail War?

"How about we use this armor as a relic?"

"Okay!"

Elena had no objections whatsoever. After all, she didn't know anything about the history or mythology of this world, nor did she know the strength or legends of these heroic spirits. She simply wanted to summon a powerful heroic spirit, win, and save the world.

"Although Lancelot's strength is not comparable to that of Gilgamesh and the Conqueror, his overall strength is no less than that of Hassan the Hundred Faces or Diarmuid."

"Moreover, his Noble Phantasm Riders do not die from their bare hands, and they can turn ordinary items into D-rank Noble Phantasms. If they steal another opponent's Noble Phantasm, they can retain the original Noble Phantasm rank and control it. If used well, it is still very strong."

"Moreover, the Holy Grail War is not just a war between Heroic Spirits; Summoners also participate in the battle, so we can make up for any shortcomings in the strength of our Heroic Spirits ourselves."

"If all else fails, we'll ambush and take out their summoner."

Just as Kitagawa Yu was explaining and analyzing, Elena had already impatiently completed the summoning. Since she didn't use any summoning incantations, she naturally didn't grant Lancelot the Berserk attribute.

In a burst of mysterious blue light, the tattered armor disappeared, replaced by a tall, handsome man wearing bright silver armor, with long, dark blue hair that was slightly curled at the ends.

Hmm, this is much more pleasing to the eye than the face revealed when Artoria broke her helmet at the end of the anime.

"I, Lancelot, have come in response to the summons! Are you my master?"

Yes, Lancelot can still speak even when he's not in a berserk state, which makes it easier for Kitagawa Yu to save Artoria.

"Hey, look! It really summoned it! Even though it's an energy entity, it looks almost exactly like a real person. This summoning magic is amazing!"

Elaina excitedly grabbed Kitagawa Yu's hand and said, then slightly raised her chin and said to Lancelot, "That's right, I am your master, the great Gray Witch Elaina!"

After a pause, Elena suddenly seemed to remember something and continued, "By the way, Yu and Chizuka are also your masters, so you have to obey their orders too."

"."

Lancelot's lips twitched involuntarily.

Seeing Elena's childlike excitement, completely lacking any tension about participating in the Holy Grail War, he felt something was off.

And now she's even issuing such an order. Doesn't she know that a knight can only have one master?

Looking at Elena's age, Lancelot could only patiently ask, "What if your orders conflict with theirs?"

“Then you have to decide for yourself! You are a Heroic Spirit, not a mindless puppet! But Yu’s orders are definitely correct, so you must obey his orders first!” Elena said without thinking.

When Lancelot heard the words, "You are a Heroic Spirit, not a mindless puppet," a strange light flashed in his eyes.

The slight resentment in his heart vanished instantly, and he truly accepted Elena's identity as Master.

Then, Kitagawa Yu's next words made him involuntarily shudder, and a complex emotion appeared on his face.

"By the way, in this Holy Grail War, King Arthur also descended as the Saber class—"

"My King, she has also descended? For the Holy Grail?"

“That’s right! It was clearly because of you traitors and your selfishness that Camelot was destroyed, but she still took all the responsibility upon herself. She even believed that she hadn’t done enough, which led to your betrayal. So she wanted to seize the Holy Grail, return to the day of the King’s Selection, change everything, and do better.”

Kitagawa Yu bluntly exposed the selfishness hidden beneath Lancelot's handsome face, causing the latter to clench his fists instinctively.

But after hearing Artoria take all the blame upon herself, he felt as if a sword had pierced his heart, all his strength vanished, and he seemed to become quite dejected.

The claim that King Arthur didn't understand human nature is simply an excuse.

The fall of Camelot was similar to that of the Sui Dynasty in China. King Arthur ascended the throne and ruled the country with the help of the Knights of the Round Table, most of whom were of noble birth.

This is similar to how the Sui Dynasty established itself by relying on the power of aristocratic families.

King Arthur, however, adhered too much to the deceptive chivalrous ideals of equality and fairness. Although he did not deliberately suppress the nobles, he did not give them any preferential treatment.

Nobles oppressing commoners and levying exorbitant taxes is something that many countries turn a blind eye to, but King Arthur, who adheres to fairness and justice, would not hesitate to wield the sword against them.

That's why the nobles feared King Arthur and harbored resentment towards him.

That's why they took advantage of King Arthur's absence on campaigns to incite Mordred to usurp the throne and overthrow King Arthur's rule.

Therefore, the destruction of Camelot was essentially a result of a struggle between the royal family and the noble class, leading to mutual destruction, and not because King Arthur was ignorant of human nature.

"Your selfish defection was merely the fuse that ignited the conflict between the two sides, giving those nobles the opportunity to take action."

"Even without you, those nobles would have made their move against King Arthur sooner or later, and might even have accumulated more power, leading to a successful rebellion."

"So while you bear responsibility, you are not the key factor."

"Even if Artoria can really go back to the past through the Holy Grail, as long as she is still King Arthur who follows the code of chivalry, the conflict between the royal family and the nobles will continue to occur."

"The struggle between the two sides will only temporarily subside when one side completely overwhelms the other."

"But throughout human history, as long as there is a feudal system, this kind of struggle will continue to exist. Because not everyone possesses the noble qualities of King Arthur."

"On the contrary, selfishness and greed are human instincts, and at the same time, they are the driving force of human progress."

Lancelot was deeply shocked after hearing Kitagawa Yu's analysis.

He was a smart man, so he immediately understood that Kitagawa Yu was right. However, being in that era and in that environment, neither he nor King Arthur could see these things.

After a long while, Lancelot came to his senses and couldn't help but ask, "Is there no way to completely eliminate this problem?"

Kitagawa Yu shook his head upon hearing this: "Thousands of years of human history have taught us that as long as there is still rule by man, this problem cannot be eradicated, unless that person is no longer human, but an invincible and fair god."

After a pause, Kitagawa Yu suddenly remembered something and continued, "When you were summoned to this era by the Holy Grail, you should have already been given the basic common sense of this era by the Holy Grail, right?"

“Yes.” Lancelot nodded.

"Then you should know about China. More than two thousand years ago, a king even greater than King Aather emerged in China. According to the normal historical trajectory, after his death, the powerful empire he built also disintegrated."

"But in a parallel world, he changed all of this through his own strength."

"His first priority was to extend his own lifespan, and he eventually gained the ability to live forever."

"Next, he enhanced his own strength, giving him the power to easily crush other classes."

"He is now practically an invincible god."

"Under his rule, his empire lasted for more than two thousand years and still completely dominates a certain parallel world. Its civilization is far more advanced than that of other parallel worlds and even has the ability to explore interstellar space."

"This should be the best way to resolve this kind of class struggle."

That's right, what Kitagawa Yu is talking about is the First Emperor from Lostbelt No. 3, and the Human Intelligence Unification True Kingdom he founded.

However, the First Emperor also had some problems. He treated everyone as tools and suppressed the people's self-awareness too much, just like the Qin state at that time, which implemented a system of farming and warfare. Therefore, it also had some negative effects on the common people.

Of course, if it were King Arthur, who adhered to the code of chivalry, there would probably be no problem.

Lancelot's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and he also believed that King Arthur's noble character would not change.

"So that means all we need to do is grant Wang the power of immortality and invincibility, right?"

“But first she has to go back to your time,” Kitagawa Yu said with a shrug.

"Including the desire for immortality and great power, you need at least two wishes."

"Of course, most importantly, this Holy Grail is actually broken."

"What? The Holy Grail is broken? That's impossible!" Lancelot's expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise.

He was summoned by the Holy Grail, and he needs the Holy Grail to fulfill his wish. How can the Holy Grail be broken?!

“But that’s the truth~” Kitagawa Yu then told Lancelot about the Holy Grail being corrupted.

"In other words, the Holy Grail still has other functions, but because its core has been controlled by all the evil in this world, it will maliciously distort the wishes of those who make the wishes, and after the wishes are made, the remaining filthy magic power inside will turn into 'black mud' and pour out, endangering the world."

Lancelot was pale and it took him a long time to come to his senses.

"Then what's the point of us fighting for the Holy Grail?"

"The point is, words alone are not enough. Others won't easily believe what I'm saying and will continue to fight for the Holy Grail. Just like, if I weren't your master, would you believe what I'm saying?"

“No,” Lancelot said without hesitation.

“That’s it then~” Kitagawa Yu shrugged and said, “So we can only defeat others with force, get the Holy Grail in the end, and then destroy it.”

“I understand,” Lancelot said in a deep voice after a moment of silence.

Although the Holy Grail was broken and could no longer fulfill his wishes, he was still satisfied to be able to see King Arthur again in this era and tell her in person that she was not wrong.

However, even Kitagawa Yu, who was familiar with the plot, did not know that while they were talking, far away in the Einzbern family's headquarters in Winter Solstice Castle in Germany, Artoria, who was with Irisviel and watching Illya happily building blocks like an ordinary child, suddenly felt something, turned her head, and looked in the direction of Fuyuki City as if she had pierced through layers of space and distance.

That's right, Artoria, who was supposed to be summoned a week earlier, has already been summoned.

"What's wrong, Saber?"

Irisviel noticed that the expression on her face suddenly changed from confusion and shock to a very complex emotion, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

"It's nothing. I just sensed the presence of a familiar old friend," Artoria said slowly, letting out a long breath.

Because Lancelot was not berserk and his temperament was not altered, nor did he activate his Noble Phantasm, "Not for Personal Glory," which could change his appearance, temperament, or even his stats, she could still vaguely sense Lancelot's presence and recognize him, even though they were several kilometers apart.

"An old friend?" Irisviel was taken aback at first, then realized what was going on, and her expression became serious with a hint of curiosity.

"Is it a Heroic Spirit from your era whom you've interacted with?"

"Hmm," Artoria nodded gently, seemingly not wanting to say anything more.

Irisviel was not Kiritsugu Emiya. Although she was still curious and worried, she considerately did not ask any more questions, and did not even intend to tell Kiritsugu Emiya.

As a wife, if she had to choose between her new friend Artoria and Kiritsugu Emiya, she would definitely choose the latter.

However, she also believed that if this matter was truly related to the Holy Grail War and crucial to the upcoming war, she would definitely take the initiative to tell Kiritsugu Emiya, her master.

But if this matter has nothing to do with the Holy Grail War, and is just Artoria's privacy, then her friend should definitely respect Artoria's privacy.

After a brief silence and reminiscence, Artoria indeed followed her own code of chivalry and took the initiative to find Kiritsugu Emiya, informing him that one of the Servants was Lancelot and that he should have already arrived in Fuyuki City.
