Public executions started with King Adonai

It is possible.

From the brief glimpse of Ort's appearance shown on the screen, although the other party looked like a big spider, its actual body gave people a very sci-fi metallic texture.

Coincidentally, the bodies of the monsters eroded by Honkai energy will also magically become metal, giving a feeling of evolving from carbon-based life to silicon-based life.

In this case, it seems quite reasonable that Ort, the Devourer of Planets, is also a creation of Honkai?

Of course, all of this is just speculation. Whether it is true or not still needs to be verified, and the light screen image needs to expose more content.

……

The image on the light screen was accompanied by a clear and crisp BGM.

The scene gradually changed. It was on a city wall, with the setting sun in front and the distant scenery was blurry. The only thing in front was the lonely king standing on the city wall.

That was the king in the form of a 'girl', the king wearing a thick blue cloak, the king familiar to everyone, holding the Holy Sword of the Star.

King Arthur.

Behind King Arthur is Bedivere.

The Knight of the Round Table looked at King Arthur and felt that the king's back was so lonely, and he also thought of what had happened to the Knights of the Round Table recently. Some scenes such as Tristan leaving the Knights of the Round Table, the attack of barbarian enemies, and the sacrifice of the Knights of the Round Table flashed by.

Bedivere clearly felt that King Arthur was very sad about this.

Even though nothing was said, it seemed as if everything was said.

Looking at the king's lonely background, Bedivere's heart was filled with sadness, discomfort, and deep self-blame.

He blamed himself for not being able to help the king and for not being able to solve the king's problems.

This self-blame made Bedivere ask, "King, why did you choose someone like me as a Knight of the Round Table?"

Obviously, I am so useless.

Hearing Bedivere's question, King Arthur was stunned for a moment, then turned back and asked, "Why do you ask that? Do you feel that you are inferior to others and unqualified?"

The straightforward question made Bedivere lower his head and say, "Yes..."

The direct answer made King Arthur shake his head: "Is that so... Actually, I am also not qualified."

Upon hearing this, Bedivere suddenly raised his head and said, "King, how can you say that? How can you be the same as a useless person like me? Please take back this evaluation!"

King Arthur looked at the sunset and said calmly, "We cannot judge the relationship between people by simple strength or weakness."

The images on the light screen began to show all kinds of things in Camelot City, showing the patrolling and diligent soldiers, and showing the people who lived and worked in peace and contentment in the city.

"This Camelot is a city forged from people's dreams."

"'One day, humans will build such an ideal city with their own hands.'"

"This city barely survives by relying on dreams like these..."

Chapter 908: A Journey of Atonement Spanning Over Years

"Our country, our city, Camelot, is a city that carries the ideals of countless people."

"She has been subjected to countless threats since her birth."

"That's why we need knights like you—knights who fully understand the people's lives and are attentive."

King Arthur said these words, and this is what she expected of Bedivere.

We don't need military force, but knights who can truly improve people's livelihoods.

When people in the real world heard this, many of them said – you actually need a civil servant with expertise in public welfare.

However, this is just a complaint. The era in the screen images was an era of despairing ignorance, with an illiteracy rate of over 99%. It was also a remote and impoverished country like Britain, so it was really difficult to find a suitable civil servant.

Don't be fooled by how powerful Holy Britain is today, and don't be fooled by the huge influence of the legend of King Arthur. But in the fifth century AD, Britain was actually only slightly stronger than the barbarian land.

In such a damn place, can we find any qualified civilian staff?

What a joke!

Don’t underestimate those who were able to study and learn in Western Europe at that time!

That was an era when anyone could become the prime minister of a country just by reading a few books!

In the image on the screen, Bedivere was slightly stunned by King Arthur's words, and then his mind seemed to remember a lot of things according to King Arthur's words, and a smile seemed to appear on his face.

"I also like Camelot and the smiling faces of the people in the city."

“When I see the smiles on people’s faces, my heart is filled with joy and satisfaction.”

Hearing this, the camera turned to the side of King Arthur's mouth, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Yeah……"

“Seeing you live a fulfilling life…”

He slowly turned around, with his back to the setting sun, and looked at Bedivere with a relieved smile on his face.

"I'm relieved too."

At this moment, King Arthur is picturesque.

Then, Fujimaru Tachibana woke up.

It turned out to be a dream.

"Uh...was that...Mr. Lucius's dream? That beautiful girl is the former King Arthur?"

"Hmm... It's exactly like the King Arthur recorded in Chaldea. Moreover, compared to that simple simulation data, the dream has a more beautiful feeling."

Muttering to himself, Fujimaru Tachibana sat up and subconsciously looked outside.

I saw that although the sky was still dark, the skyline was already turning pale.

Apparently, it was dawn.

So, Fujimaru Tachibana got up without hesitation, washed his face, sobered himself up, and took a bottle of sobering potion.

There was no way. Although he slept, he only slept for three hours. For Fujimaru Tachibana, a human, this time was not enough to fully recover his energy.

However, there was no more time for Fujimaru Tachibana to rest. All she could do was try to keep herself awake.

When he came out of the room, he saw Mashu who was already prepared. Seeing this, the latter couldn't help but ask with concern: "Senior, don't you want to take a rest?"

Fujimaru Tachibana shook his head: "No, this little sleep is enough."

"Anyway, there's plenty of time to rest once we solve the singularity problem."

As she spoke the last words, she subconsciously glanced at Lucius who was preparing for battle in the distance.

The scenes in the dream seemed to overlap with reality, making the girl very clear about what kind of torment Lucius was carrying in his heart under his calm appearance.

It was the longing and guilt for the king, as well as the determination to make amends and save the king.

Furthermore, Fujimaru Tachibana seemed to have discovered something and could not help but ask, "Mashu, tell me, is there a way for a living person to disguise themselves as a Servant and sign a contract with a Master?"

Mashu was stunned. "Uh, is this even possible?" After thinking for a moment, she shook her head. "Sorry, Senior, I can't imagine such a thing. After all, disguising oneself as a Servant is easy, but if you want to sign a contract with a Master, you need to establish a contractual relationship. That would be difficult to disguise, right?"

"Is that so..." Fujimaru Tachibana murmured softly, "If it's the ultimate illusion, it should be possible, right? After all, if it can even deceive other people's cognition, then simply disguising oneself as a Servant isn't that incredible."

Mashu was even more confused when he heard this: "Senior, have you discovered something?"

Fujimaru Tachibana smiled at Mashu again: "Nothing, just a little emotional, after all, we've been through so much..."

Mashu nodded, not quite understanding, and without dwelling on the topic, she said, "Well, let's eat something now! The battle will begin soon."

Fujimaru Tachibana nodded, didn't refuse, and went to eat immediately.

But to people in the real world, what Fujimaru Rikka said clearly showed that she had noticed Lucius's abnormality.

Or perhaps Fujimaru Tachibana had discovered it a long time ago. After all, there were too many problems. However, she didn't say anything about it because she trusted Lucius.

I mention it now, probably just because I dreamed about Lucius' past, so I feel a little emotional.

The reason she mentioned illusions and the like was because Ramses II told her that her current appearance was that of 'Fujimaru Ritsuka', and that changing other people's perceptions was Merlin's doing.

Since even such a thing could be done, it wouldn't be strange to put a disguise on Lucius.

However, when one thinks about Lucius living until now with such a heavy sin, just asking for a chance to atone, one can't help but feel distressed and sad.

Moreover, Ramses II also said that in the first timeline, because he asked King Hassan to take direct action, even this opportunity to atone was taken away, which made people feel even more uncomfortable.

Perhaps, this time, is Lucius' only real chance.

Thinking of this, Fujimaru Tachibana felt that it was time to have a good talk with Lucius.

If some things are not made clear, there will be no chance.

Thinking of this, Fujimaru Tachibana found an opportunity to come to Lucius: "Mr. Lucius, can I talk to you alone?"

Lucius was stunned when he heard this, then nodded in agreement and went to the side with Fujimaru Tachibana.

Then, Fujimaru Tachibana got straight to the point: "Mr. Lucius, you are not actually a Servant, but a living person, right?"

Lucius's eyes suddenly widened in shock, and then the knight looked apologetic: "You figured it out... I'm sorry for deceiving you about this..."

Fujimaru Tachibana shook his head: "Although it was indeed concealed, Mr. Lucius, you have always been helping and protecting us, haven't you?"

"In my opinion, this is enough. Everyone has their own secrets. Mr. Lucius, you have done nothing wrong to us."

"Rather, I'd like to say thank you very much for your help these past few days!"

As he spoke, he bowed to Lucius to express his gratitude, fully demonstrating the bowing spirit of the Yingzhou people.

After seeing this scene, many people in the real world suddenly remembered that Fujimaru Tachibana was actually from Yingzhou.

This sincere attitude stunned Lucius for a moment, then a smile appeared on the handsome knight's face. He saluted Fujimaru Tachibana with his hand on his chest. "No, I should say that I am grateful for your care and help these days. Because of you, I have the opportunity to truly approach the King and complete my final mission."

After hearing this, Fujimaru Tachibana was silent for a moment, then said, "Mr. Lucius, can you tell me what exactly you want to do with the Lion King? If you simply want to get close to the Lion King and defeat him, that wouldn't be redemption for you, would it?"

Lucius hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then he felt relieved: "At this point, there's actually nothing to hide."

"What I am about to do is my sin, something I should have done but did not do because of hesitation and uncertainty in my heart."

"Something I should have done, but didn't do..." Fujimaru Tachibana muttered, then suddenly realized it, and her eyes widened. "You mean... return the holy sword!?"

Lucius nodded, his magnetic voice filled with the vicissitudes of life and memories: "Yes, this is my unfinished mission, and it is also the atonement I must make. With the remaining life and time I have left, I will use the Holy Sword—"

"Return it to the king!"

The shocking words made Fujimaru Tachibana open his mouth. After being stunned for a long time, he suddenly realized: "In this case, I can understand..."

"No, it should be said that this kind of development is only natural."

"For Mr. Lucius, no, for Mr. Bedivere, returning the Holy Sword is the only necessary atonement."

After a pause, she asked again, "So, the holy sword, the sword of sworn victory, is with you, right?"

Lucius nodded and stroked his silver arm with his right hand.

Seeing this action, Fujimaru Tachibana seemed to have thought of something: "Could it be that your silver arm is..."

Lucius hummed, "I have never possessed the Silver Arm of Nuada, the Celtic god of war. This is merely a disguise created by Merlin, transforming the holy sword into the form of a silver arm."

"Only in this way can a sinner like me be qualified to wield the power of the Holy Sword."

"Only in this way can I, with the power of the Holy Sword, continue to live on even though I should have been reduced to ashes long ago."

"All of this stems from the power left by the king."

"Too……"

"The sins I bear."

……

In the real world, at Su Yun's house, Artoria's eyes widened, and then a look of sudden realization appeared on her face: "So that's how it is, no wonder..."

Tokisaki Kurumi: "Liya, have you discovered it a long time ago?"

Altria shook her head. "No, I just felt that the golden glow was very similar to the power of my Holy Sword when Bedivere used the power of the Silver Arm. I thought the properties of the Silver Arm were the same as the Holy Sword."

"Now I understand the truth. The Silver Arm was originally a holy sword, so its power attributes are naturally the same as the Sword of Promised Victory."

Tokisaki Kurumi also suddenly understood: "So that's how it is..." Then, she looked at Su Yun, "Su Jun, you actually knew about this a long time ago, right?"

Su Yun spread his hands: "Well, I already knew it. However, you know me, and if you don't ask, I will not take the initiative to say it most of the time, otherwise it will always be a spoiler, and the movie-watching experience will not be very good."

Tokisaki Kurumi and Altria were speechless for a while. After looking at each other, they both chose to ignore Su Yun, the idiot.
