I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

"Uh, sorry to interrupt, Saber, you are really at fault."

Just when Saber cleared up her confusion due to Scathach's guidance, Shinji suddenly said this.

This disgraceful statement made Irisviel glare angrily, and even Scathach couldn't help but glare at his master.

"No one will think you are dumb if you don't speak."

However, Saber's expression remained unchanged and she asked in a deep voice, "Why do you say that? What did you do wrong?"

Shenji narrowed his eyes, looked at Saber's face with a little surprise, and sighed softly: "This is the expression that King Da Mao should have. As expected, Lao Xu is a bit too dark."

"What?" Saber naturally couldn't understand such unclear words.

"It's nothing, just talking to myself."

Shinji waved his hand, signaling Saber not to pay attention.

"Don't get me wrong, I have no intention of disparaging your kingly ways. On the contrary, the one I admire most among the four kingly ways tonight is your kingly way. And the current mainstream values ​​are that politicians should give up their selfish desires and be selfless. Of course, no one can do that. ”

"Then in your eyes, Archer and Rider are the ones who are wrong?"

"No." Shenji scratched his head in distress, "King of Knights, there is rarely absolute right or wrong in this world. Different perspectives on things lead to different conclusions."

"What is a king? The lord of a country, the leader of a country. What is the kingly way? The way to lead the subjects. Therefore, whether the kingly way is good or not should actually depend on what the people being ruled say."

"Of the four kingly ways, Assassin is not the leader of living people, let's not talk about it for the moment. The remaining three, Archer's are my ways, all self-centered, only self-centered ways. Rider practices hegemony, the way of the hegemon, with Suppress others. You are practicing the holy way, abandon personal feelings, abandon selfish desires, serve the country wholeheartedly, and put the country as the first consideration in everything."

"The royal way itself is not superior. The so-called royal way magnifies a part of human nature, and which kind of royal way you support is also based on the instinct of "seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages" in human nature."

"Let's put it this way, if I were the king, I would support Archer, because that way I can live the most comfortable life and do whatever I want."

"If I were a minister, I would support Rider, because he has goals, ideals, visions, and motivation. Following a king like that, maybe one day I can become a king too?"

"If I were a citizen, I would support you. What the people long for is nothing more than stability and prosperity. If you can make them live a good life, I will naturally support you. I am a citizen now, and I have no ambition to stand above ten thousand people. I have no ambition. The doubt is on your side.”

"The people are the most numerous in the world, so your support rate is the highest. But no matter in which era, a few people always have the most say, so Rider's dominance is also very marketable. As for Archer, everyone has that in their hearts. A kind of wanton impulse, so although no one wants to have such a boss above their heads, they cannot completely deny him."

"Since there is no superiority in the way of kings, and the kingdoms of kings have passed, it can only depend on the king's own will. Rider did not get angry because Archer said that the Holy Grail belonged to him. On the contrary, he acknowledged this and decided to use his Archer is not angry because Saber said he was crazy, nor is he angry because Rider said he wanted to seize his own 'treasure'. It's just that his words are not illegal, but once you are ready to seize the Holy Grail, he will not do anything. Punish without mercy."

"In contrast, Saber, you were angry because of Archer's words, and were shaken by Rider's belittlement and the 'King's Military Power'. Archer and Rider recognized the nature of the king's way, but you didn't - this is the first mistake you made tonight. This mistake has made you the biggest loser in tonight's 'Holy Grail Quiz', do you admit this?"

"I admit it, but there won't be another time." Saber, who had returned to her normal state of mind, was calm. "You said this is the 'first', is there a second one?"

"Yes, and it is fundamentally wrong - your wish is wrong."

Having said this, Shinji stared at Saber's expression carefully and found that although her expression changed slightly, she had no intention of speaking. It seemed that her mentality had indeed recovered and even became stronger.

"You're not messing around, that's good. When I say your wish is wrong, I'm not saying that there's something wrong with your wish itself. The country has been destroyed by itself, and there's nothing wrong with wanting to start over and save it. It doesn't matter if it's Rider or Archer. Fortunately, the country is destroyed after death. They may not understand your feelings. Of course, I can't either. I am telling you this purely as a king chef for ten years and with a little whim. "

Saberb didn't understand what a king's chef was, but that didn't stop her from understanding what Shenji meant. Shenji paused for a moment before continuing.

"What I mean by 'wrong' is because you have no way to realize this wish."

"The Holy Grail is omnipotent, but it is not omnipotent. The Holy Grail is just the crystallization of magic power. If you want to use it to realize your wish, you must have a way to realize your wish. I hope Britain will be saved, and Britain will be saved immediately. This skips the process directly. There is no Holy Grail of ferocious ability that produces results. There are only two ways I can think of, do it again and choose the king again, or do you have other methods?"

Saber shook her head, and Shinji continued:

"I don't think you can do it again. As long as you are still you and the King of Knights, you cannot change the outcome."

"Saber, do you remember what you just said? In this life, you have no regrets. Yes, no regrets. There is nothing wrong in everything you do. You can be called the perfect king. Even if you really let If you were to do it over again, how would you change the outcome?"

Saber was stopped by Shinji.

Yes, I don’t regret everything I did. Whether it was not recognizing Mordred, not punishing Lancelot, or even marrying Guinevere earlier, she would not regret it. Even if she did it again, she would still do it.

At the end of this road, is it still unavoidable that Britain will be destroyed?

Before Saber could answer, Shinji spoke again.

"The Holy Grail is omnipotent, but it is not omnipotent. It is just the crystallization of magic power. It can shorten the process, but it cannot completely abandon the process. In other words, the person who makes a wish must first think about how to achieve it before making a wish. After all, it is the same Different ways of realizing a wish have different results. For the simplest example, if I make a wish for money, then depending on my definition of money, I may get gold, silver, Japanese yen, US dollars, etc. However, if I make a wish for money, If I don’t know which one I want, the Holy Grail will not be able to fulfill my wish. The same goes for your wish. Although you said you want to save Britain, have you thought about how to save it specifically? If not, you just said you want to save the Holy Grail. I won't respond to you. There are only two ways I can think of, do it again and choose the king again, or do you have other ways?"

"But then again, what I know about that era is only through legends and stories. No matter how many people know about it, they can't reach one ten thousandth of that era. Maybe there are really better people than you. Uncertain. Of course, as for the odds, I can only say that instead of placing hope on that illusory figure, it is better to hope that you can do it again, and Mordred suddenly died of illness before the rebellion. "

"Moreover, choosing this method means that the path you have traveled, the efforts you have made, and the struggle you and your subordinates have all been covered. This is not only an insult to you who have dedicated everything to Britain, but also an insult to you. To the Knights of the Round Table who will fight with you."

"Saber, do you want to deny them? Deny them who have gathered under your banner to fight for you and for Britain?"

"I-I-" Saber turned pale, swallowed the bitterness in her heart, and finally said those three words, "I don't want to!"

She may not care what happens to herself, but she cannot deny the companions who have fought with her, her irreplaceable comrades-in-arms. "what should I do?"

Weakness and helplessness appeared on Saber's face again.

Shen Er couldn't bear it, but he had to harden his heart.

"I can't answer you. The answer can only be found by yourself."

PS: Daimao scolded Winky for destroying his kingdom in the fifth war. According to the explanation of "Fategrandorder", it was not destruction at all, but this guy was looking for a child-rejuvenating drug. No one cared about the country, so the people ran away, leaving only He married a chief priest (who was very beautiful, and was also the right-hand man and most trusted person of Shining in Chapter 7) just to scold him. After scolding him, Shining began to revive the country and became a true wise king.

PS2: Damn mushrooms, the chief priest is so cute, what the hell are you, what the hell are you. Forget about the traitorous young man, the ending of the chief priest is more cruel than any so-called cruelty in any previous chapter, so I won’t spoil it for now, just wait. The National Service Party was tortured to death.
