Chapter 841: Ode to Fate, Decaying Gold 1
Where the girl was looking, a small knight doll was leaning against a tree, as if it was having a series of beautiful dreams that lasted endlessly.
Artoria: "If this is the soldier Caster summoned, he should be a very powerful opponent."
Qiong: "A super ancient evil god figurine?"
"I've never seen a toy like this before. For the first fifteen years of my life, I spent most of my time raising horses and practicing swordsmanship. During my downtime, a magician named Merlin would appear in my dreams and teach me about ruling a country.
Master, what about you? How did you spend your childhood? I have never thought about your own experiences for you.
"I don't remember much about the past... I vaguely remember being awakened in a space station."
"Is that so... No wonder, the Master's personality is somewhat free-spirited. Is it because he is not bound by the past?"
"From the time I can really remember, I have boarded a train bound for the stars and made many like-minded friends. Although I don't have a past, I have a future, and I have become the person I want to be."
"It's truly... Even in the face of hardship, you continue your beautiful journey. I wish I could have been like that in my lifetime. Once upon a time, I also wanted to be someone. I wanted to save this land beneath my feet and the people who live within it from the scourge of the humble King Vortikon, who transformed into a white dragon. I wanted to liberate people from the iron rule of foreign races.
I want to be the ideal king that everyone hopes for, the one who saves Britain. To achieve this, I can give everything."
Star Railway Robin: "Ms. Altria once also wanted to become an ideal king. I wonder if she succeeded?"
Fate Altria: "It's a pity that I failed. We can become the ideal king."
Fate Iskandar: "Although she can be naive at times, he is still an excellent king in my opinion. There is no need to blame herself for the past."
Genshin Impact's Zhongli: "In life, there are always many things that are beyond our control. All we can do is try our best to do our best."
Altria: "The magician told me that if I pulled out the chosen sword from the stone, I would get what I wanted. Everyone thought that Britain would be saved."
Qiong shook his head and said, "There is no eternal royal power."
"Yes, no. I once believed that when I killed Vortigern, expelled the foreigners, summoned the Knights of the Round Table, and built the impenetrable city of Camelot, a peaceful paradise would come to Britain.
But it was only a fleeting dream. My knights deserted me, and some challenged me... Britain was once again engulfed in war. Merlin had warned me of all this before I drew the sword of the King-Choice...
He said that once the sword was drawn, there would be a tragic end, hated by all. He had told me this at the height of the nation's prosperity... Britain would one day end, and its current prosperity was built on the king's suffering.
I thought that if I could shoulder the country's suffering in exchange for a happy life for the people, even if it ended in tragedy, it would all be worth it."
"You remind me of Sunday..."
Afterwards, Qiong told Altria about a dream that happened at the Pinoconni Harmony Festival: a man wanted to maintain the heaven on earth by himself.
Fate Gilgamesh: "It's interesting to think that you can maintain the kingdom of heaven on earth by yourself. I am interested in this Sunday."
Honkai Impact 3rd Kevin: "Come to think of it, the experiences of Arthur and Ms. Altria in our world are very similar, right?"
Honkai Sansu: "Yes, but the gender is still different. The Arthur here is indeed a boy."
After hearing what Qiong said, Altria couldn't help but sigh, "Miss Mockingbird's brother... Indeed, what I thought and did at that time was very similar to him.
But when I solemnly described the ideal country to everyone, in the end all I left on the British land were endless wars, bloody soldiers and hungry children.
It is I who should be destroyed, not my country and my people, and that is how it should be."
As they walked along, they saw a long sword stuck in a stone in front of them. Qiong asked curiously, "Is this... the Sword in the Stone?"
"I have imagined countless times what it would be like if I hadn't drawn this sword, if there was someone more suitable to be king than me... If I hadn't become king, would Britain have become a true utopia? What kind of life would I have led?
Pull out the chosen sword and become king: or give up, stay in my hometown and live out the rest of my life. Now, she brings me back to the moment of choice..."
"Saber, do you want to stay?"
"Master, I'm just... a little tired. I really want a mount... to ride across this plain before the sun sets..."
"Saber!"
Qiong called out, but the lingering sound didn't reach the Servant's ears. When she hesitated at the moment of making her choice, everything was already determined - in fact, you had never been here from the beginning. What remained here was just you, trapped in the Noble Phantasm, a shadow lingering in the dreams of others.
Honkai Impact 3rd Sinadia: "It's over, it's over. Miss Altria, is she really in trouble?"
Fate Emiya Shirou: "This Miss Note's ability is really tricky. The British affairs have always been Saber's heart knot, and now it has trapped Saber."
Space Wanderer Gao Xuan said: "Besides, the Pioneer Qiong entered Altria's illusion. I guess Asuna will take action to stop Qiong in a while."
At this moment, Miss Note appeared: "He is just an ordinary girl. It is painful enough for him to play the role of king. Why should he be forced to continue to hold on to the illusion of the heroic spirit?
It is better to lay down your swords, forsake your glory, and become an ordinary person, watching the joys and sorrows of others from the audience. I will help you gradually remove the heroic makeup of your roles, until your original choice is erased, and the suffering you have endured along the way is also erased."
Miss Note's figure kept changing around, making it impossible for Qiong to grasp her location.
"I have arranged a mediocre and happy life for everyone - and you are no exception, Qiong."
"So, you want to stay? New here."
When the screen suddenly went black and then lit up again, it was the space station staff asking Qiong a question.
Geographical Science Section Officer: "For a guy like you, just being able to squeeze into the Black Tower Space Station has already used up all your luck in life, but I still want to confirm it symbolically.
You know, the work of the Geography Department is not as easy as you think."
Star Railway Pioneer Qiong: "No, what's the point of this? I didn't appear at the Black Tower Space Station, did I?"
Genshin Impact Abyss Prince Kong: "This is a story-driven story. You are the same as Xing in the story, but from the video it looks like you didn't choose to join the Star Train."
Star Dome Railway Big Black Tower: "We've reached the space station this time. I wonder if it will be more interesting."
