Even the shameless and ruthless Lin Qingping felt a little embarrassed.
Meanwhile, Artoria and Irisviel also renewed their contract.
They were standing to the side, waiting for Lin Qingping's instructions.
Meeting the slightly expectant gaze of Saber, Lin Qingping pondered for a moment and said, "I know Lily, you want to use the Holy Grail to change history, but that's impossible."
"why?"
Artoria's personality is notoriously stubborn.
They won't turn back until they hit a brick wall, and they won't give up until they reach the Yellow River.
Even now, she was still unwilling to give up and pressed on, "Kiyohei-kun, the Holy Grail's magic is enough to allow both Master and Servant to make a wish together."
"I know that as the defeated, I have no right to ask for anything. But I am willing to give anything in exchange for the right to make a wish! If you, Kiyohira, grant my request, whether it be the Sword of Excalibur, or Avalon, or even..."
With a slight blush, Artoria, who had always considered herself a man, gritted her teeth and said, "Even if you want me, that's fine! I only have one wish: to go back to the day of the king selection ceremony and have a new king ascend the throne!"
As for who this new king is, Artoria doesn't care.
She felt that she had done a mediocre job, and that someone else would have done a better job!
"That's not the problem."
Lin Qingping explained, "First of all, I must tell you that because of the Einzbern family's irregularities in the Third Holy Grail War, the Holy Grail has been tainted by the evil of this world."
"It's completely unusable. Even if you make a wish, the Holy Grail will only use the most vicious methods to grant it. For example..."
Lin Qingping gave an example: "If you wish for world peace and an end to war, the Holy Grail will immediately kill everyone to indirectly fulfill your wish. After all, once humanity is extinct, there will indeed be no more wars in the world, a permanent solution."
"You can ask Irisviel about this; she should have heard about it too."
Hearing this, Artoria was almost on the verge of collapse.
what is this?
I worked so hard for so long, even selling my soul and making a deal with Alaya, only to receive a corrupted Holy Grail in return?
Then wouldn't everything I did and everything I sacrificed before become a joke?
Artoria couldn't accept reality; her pupils were trembling!
Tears welled up in her eyes.
She didn't cry when she went to the battlefield.
She didn't cry when she was misunderstood by the Knights.
She didn't even cry when Mordred rebelled.
But now, Artoria is truly on the verge of collapse.
After finally finding hope to change everything, it turned out to be just a scam?
Alaya!
Do you even have a heart?
brute! ! !
While cursing the ruthless restraint in her heart, Artoria looked at Irisviel with pleading eyes.
Hopefully, I can hear something different from what she says.
However, Irisviel remained silent for a long time before shaking her head and saying, "I don't know if the Holy Grail has been corrupted, but Saber, the Einzbern family did indeed use illegal methods during the Third Holy Grail War."
"They summoned the evil god Angra Mainyu, who is the innocent one who bears all the evil of this world..."
At this point, the wife shut up.
Because there's really no need to continue talking about it.
Everything matches up!
This is sufficient proof that Lin Qingping was not lying.
At this moment when hope was shattered, Artoria became eerily quiet.
It's like the calm before the storm.
"Lily."
Lin Qingping sighed and called out to Dai Mao.
Mainly because he is a long-time FGO player, and also a half-Type-Moon fan and a King fan.
I really like Artoria, and I don't want to see her break down like this.
So, out of kindness, he told her some things she didn't know.
"You may not know this, but after the Battle of Camlann, Lancelot's son, the Grail Knight Galahad, actually found the Holy Grail."
"It is not the Holy Grail created by magicians, but the Holy Grail that the Church has been searching for, the one that contained the blood of Jesus."
"But even the true Holy Grail cannot change the history of Camelot. You yourself should know this clearly: the decline of the Age of Gods is a choice made by human reason."
"No one could have changed the outcome and allowed the Kingdom of Camelot to continue to exist. In fact, as a king, you have done quite well."
Don't be fooled by the so-called Three Kings Meeting in the anime, where Iskandar the Conqueror and Gilgamesh torture Artoria together, and think she's unfit to be a queen.
In fact, compared to these two, Artoria is truly a wise and virtuous ruler!
The so-called kingship of the conqueror king was nothing more than banditry. What's the difference between him and Genghis Khan, who conquered all of Europe?
They robbed and looted a batch, then headed back home.
What remains besides death and disaster?
Can this kind of behavior be considered kingly?
In any case, from the perspective of traditional Chinese values, it can hardly be considered a sage.
At most, they were just armed bandits.
And what about Gilgamesh?
Hilarious! He's just a village chief in a tiny little place!
Moreover, he was a tyrant in his youth, causing immense suffering to the people of Uruk.
If it weren't for the fact that this guy is a demigod, he could rival an entire army by himself.
The superhumans below have already rebelled!
Is this what you call a qualified king?
Emperor Yang of Sui was a hundred times better than him!
On the contrary, the elderly wise king truly resembled a sage monarch.
If it were a wise king to torture Artoria, it would make some sense.
Young Gilgamesh was simply not qualified!
Artoria was truly a remarkable woman who was appointed to a critical mission and saved the day from collapse!
Just think about what Camelot was like back then.
King Uther is dead, and the various regional kings have divided the land and declared independence.
They completely ignore the central government.
Outside, Vortigern led the Saxons in burning, killing, and looting, causing Camelot's army to howl in despair.
The adversity couldn't be more dire!
Not to mention, Camelot at that time was the last land of the gods.
As the age of gods declined, food production decreased in various regions, and the climate became harsher.
The Celts are starving, and people are dying of hunger everywhere!
Natural disasters, internal strife, and external threats.
The three essential factors for the downfall of ancient dynasties have all come together!
When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he had to hold Artoria's hand and say, "Little sister, you've had it tough too!"
But the result?
Despite this incredible start, and despite being betrayed by Morgan, Artoria first defeated the island's lord, the White Dragon Vortigern.
Later, Camelot was given another life, managing to survive until the Age of Gods almost completely disappeared.
That's all? What more could you want?
Would Iskandar and Gilgamesh necessarily do a better job than Artoria?
Lin Qingping, however, thought it might be a different story!
Artoria's main problem is that she's too responsible and a bit too attached to things.
It's just a small flaw: not being able to accept reality.
But in the end, isn't this all King Uther and Merlin's fault?
They were the ones who nurtured Artoria toward becoming the ideal Holy King.
In the end, they said that the guy with the ahoge (cowlick) wasn't suitable to be king?
What's the difference between this and crossing the river and then destroying the bridge, or eating from the bowl and then cursing the cook?
In Lin Qingping's opinion, Artoria had already reached her limit.
unless...................
"Unless a powerful being appears who can disregard the decline of the Age of Gods and forcibly take Camelot to ascend, history cannot be changed."
As Artoria's eyes suddenly brightened, Lin Qingping said, "Otherwise, even if Camelot survives the final hurdle, he will be cut off by the Awakened One and turned into a Lostbelt 0 with no potential... It would be better to just destroy him."
Yup!
Lin Qingping's words awakened Artoria.
Just because the Holy Grail can't do it doesn't mean that others can't!
Speaking of people whose power is so great that they can ignore the fading of the Age of Gods and prevent the Awakeners from cutting the world line...
Isn't there one right in front of me?
Artoria couldn't help but look at Lin Qingping, and Irisviel and Scáthach also looked at him.
Lin Qingping's face darkened: "Why are you all looking at me like that? You don't mean you want me to help save the Kingdom of Camelot, do you?"
"Please, my king!"
Artoria knelt down in an instant, drew Excalibur, and raised it high before Lin Qingping with both hands: "I offer everything to become your knight!"
Ah, this.................
Lin Qingping was numb.
Am I going to become the king of Camelot?
Although it feels a bit far-fetched, it doesn't seem like it's impossible to actually become a king.
This would perfectly resolve Artoria's emotional distress and allow her to establish her own base in the Type-Moon world.
If anything needs to be done in the future, there will be people under my command, right?
After a moment's thought, Lin Qingping accepted this side story.
It just so happens that he is also quite interested in Type-Moon Gods.
At that time, there should still be a very small number of gods remaining in the world?
"Ok."
Lin Qingping took Artoria's sword and placed the blade on the shoulder of the boy with the ahoge (a type of hair sticking up).
"Since that's the case, then I won't refuse. From now on, you will be my chief knight."
"I obey the king's orders!"
Artoria was overjoyed, a bright smile spreading across her face, instantly shedding the burden of being King Arthur.
She no longer wanted to be a queen!
