Upon hearing this, El-Melloi II immediately stood up excitedly. If Saber possessed her past memories, then perhaps Iskandar did too...
“Only Saber is an exception, Waver. Just as Miss Theresa said, the Heroic Spirit was summoned back to the mortal world without any previous memories.”
This time, Shen Qiu changed the title of El-Melloi II to Weber.
It was as if they had all returned to seven years ago.
Aki Matou, Ryunosuke Amuro, Kariya Matou, Kiritsugu Emiya, Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald, Tokiomi Tohsaka, Kirei Kotomine, and Zouken Matou.
"So that's how it is..."
The young master, whose eyes had just been shining, sat back down in his original seat after hearing Shen Qiu's unquestionable tone.
But an indelible sadness still lingered on her face.
"As for Saber, is she still clinging to her previous obsessions? Mordred has found a new life, made new friends, is no longer attached to the past, and is living a new life."
"Saber, are you still standing still?"
"I don't know either. It's all like a phantom: Britain, the Round Table, Lancelot, Bedivere, Agravia, Gawain..."
"However, the Fifth Holy Grail War is imminent, and I truly, truly don't know what to do..."
"It seems that the battle with Mordred has given you some inspiration, Saber. You've become different from before."
As the boy spoke, he lightly brushed the corner of the knight king's blond hair.
"It's...different from before?"
The Knight King looked at the gentle boy opposite him with some confusion, his hands tightly gripping the Earl Grey teacup. Yes, things were different; the boy in front of him was different from before.
At that time, he looked like a child, with long, light blue hair. He always exuded coldness and murderous intent in front of himself and Kiritsugu, which was completely inconsistent with his age.
Now, he has become even more handsome, and his hair has turned completely white, but he still retains a youthful charm that he can't shake off.
However, it adds a touch of gentleness and maturity.
"...It's all like an illusion, Saber."
"Just like the scenery that is constantly left behind by this train, whether it is the Holy Grail War, the meeting with Mordred, or the reunion with me, everything stops in an instant, and only the shadow remains in the present moment."
Looking back at the Fourth Holy Grail War, what was Artoria like back then? In Shen Qiu's words, she was practically a madwoman who had gone completely mad.
She had placed all her hopes and dreams on that false Holy Grail, but now she was showing confusion and bewilderment, and she herself began to question whether the path she had taken was correct.
Did her battle with Mordred wake her up?
"Instead of wasting time fighting to the death with you here, I'd rather go find Uncle Lion Robber and have a nice big drink. This is so boring."
That was Mordred's original statement at that time.
“Am I right, Weber?”
The only similarity between Waver and Artoria is that both of them have their time frozen at a certain point in the past, and their lives after that point are filled with deep obsession.
"Glory begins there."
After hearing Shen Qiu's words, the current Lord of the Modern Magic Department took off his glasses and looked out the window with Artoria at the scenery that was constantly being thrown down.
“Saber, I still want to say that I cannot give you the real answer. The real answer can only be found by yourself, just as Mordred has already found the answer to her life.”
"So, where is yours?" (Shu)

"Dong dong dong."
It's a knock on the door.
The timely knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
“Mr. Matou Aki, I am the acting manager of this train. The auction has ended. Thank you for stopping this farce and protecting the Mystic Eye Collection Train.”
"At the same time, I apologize again for my previous disrespect. This is a gift we prepared. Please accept it if you don't mind, although you may not need it. It's just a small token of our appreciation."
After saying that, the azure-blue Dead Apostle handed Shen Qiu a pair of demonic eyes that were sealed within high-grade sealing materials.
"The Eye of the Rose, Gem-grade".
"In that case, I'll accept it. If there's nothing else, you can go now. By the way, now that the auction is over, the Magic Eye Collection Train should be heading to its final stop, right?"
"Yes."
"So, the final destination is—"
"London."
Having received the answer he wanted, the boy waved to signal the somewhat sensible apostle to leave, as he no longer needed the gem-grade Rose Eye.
But I'd probably be interested in oranges.
"Let's leave that topic behind, Saber. Weren't you curious about that little girl?"
After speaking, Shen Qiu turned his gaze to Grey, who was still trembling in the corner.
"That's right, I can't understand why she has the same aura as me."
A tuft of hair appeared on the head of the bewildered King Arthur. (600)
Does that mean I left behind a child? And then the child's child's child's child...?
Thinking about this, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. Something wasn't right. She wasn't married at all. Wait, let alone married, in order to maintain the image of a queen, she didn't even have a boyfriend or girlfriend.
“Grey, take off your hood. Isn’t this a good opportunity for you to face yourself? Haven’t you been questioning your existence and why you came into this world?”
"Now, the person who can answer your question is right in front of you. Why don't you go and ask her? If you have her answer, you won't be hiding in the corner like this forever."
“Hey, Gray, that guy’s right. Think about it, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. From the moment you left that little village, weren’t you constantly questioning yourself?”
"Now, it's time to solve the problem, Grey. Stand up, lift your head, take off your hood, and let everyone see what you look like!"
Yad kept encouraging the girl from the side.
El-Melloi II also looked at his protégé, awaiting her final decision.
Finally, after a long while, the girl, who was covered in gray dust, took a deep breath, turned her face, took off her hood, and sat down next to El-Melloi II.
"It looks exactly like me!"
"Hey? You too! You look exactly like me!"
The two of them exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
"This brings us back to the source of all evil, Morgan LeFey."
After downing his cappuccino in one gulp, Shen Qiu sighed deeply. Bad people are always like this; once they start being bad, they can stay bad to the very end, to the point that they can even leave a legacy of harm for thousands of years.
"That damn woman."
Upon hearing the name Morgan le Fay, the King of Knights' face showed a rare expression of anger. If Tokiomi Tohsaka was the source of all evil in the Fourth Holy Grail War, then her sister was the source of all evil that led to the destruction of Britain and the disintegration of the Round Table.
Despite being a son of King Uther, this sister was extremely dark and wicked, and in order to achieve her own goals, she gave birth to Gawain, the Sun Knight, and Agrave, the Iron Knight.
She originally intended to use her son to overthrow her own sister's dynasty, but unexpectedly, both knights were won over by King Arthur.
Left with no other choice, they had to use magic to gender-swap Artoria to obtain her genetic material, which they then used as a model to create the android Mordred.
And in the end, as she wished, Britain was ultimately overthrown by her own hands.
But that's not enough.
A thousand years ago, she came to a small village in Wales and gave a magical artifact called "Golden Blade" to the villagers near the tomb of Blackmore, giving them the task of resurrecting King Arthur.
After centuries of failures, one person finally succeeded in being born, giving the villagers a glimmer of hope for King Arthur's resurrection—that person was Gray.
From the moment of her birth, Grey was prepared to be the physical body for King Arthur's rebirth; all that was needed was for the right time for Grey's personality and soul to vanish.
"And you will be reborn into the world once again, Saber."
Shen Qiupo told the Knight King a story with amusement, but in response, Artoria got up angrily.
"Enough, enough, enough, I've really had enough of that guy."
"Insidious, vicious, cunning, and ruthless, they will stop at nothing to do evil. They even tried to resurrect me in this way, and wanted to take the life of an innocent person for no reason in this manner."
“Mr. Shen, tell me where that village is, and I will raze it to the ground with this sword of oath and victory in my hand!”
"Um, Saber, calm down..."
Seeing Artoria's eyes filled with rage, Shen Qiu and Gray were both stunned, never expecting the Knight King to react so strongly.
"No! So many of my old friends still live there..."
At this point, Grey's eyes dimmed. Since her appearance had changed, her friends had drifted away from her one by one.
In the end, only the gravedigger Belsak was still willing to listen to her, and after arriving at the clock tower, only Yad and his master were there.
But now, everything is alright.
There was Flat, there was Sphinx, and there was Miss Reines.
They were all willing to listen to me.
"Lady, listen up."
With eyes blazing like fire, the Knight King looked firmly at the "heir" who was only a few centimeters shorter than him and said firmly.
“You are no substitute for anyone. You are not me, you are not King Arthur. Even though that guy was so insidious and ruined your appearance like this, you are just yourself. I hope you will always remember that.”
