Lost Narrative Poetry

"What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Under the blue sky in the early morning, in the quiet and quiet forest, Xia Ran, who was walking in front with great interest, stopped, looked behind him, and asked.

Although his tone was questioning, he seemed quite determined.

"Yes, one thing, Master, it feels like the time when the Sword in the Stone was broken. I always feel empty in my heart. Something is not right..."

Arturia hesitated for a moment, but still said it honestly. The girl was clearly empty-handed and traveling lightly, but she seemed to be very awkward and uncomfortable.

The main reason is naturally because of the loss of the Sword of Victory——

Although in order to preserve history, she also knew that this was necessary, and the holy sword must be returned to the Fairy of the Lake. Although she was very reluctant to part with it, she saw it very clearly and did not feel that the holy sword must remain in her hand.

It is indeed time to return the property to its original owner. There is no way around it.

But to understand is to understand, to see through is to see through, but there is no way to solve the problem of habit at once. Just as the development of a habit is accumulated over time, changing a habit also requires time to adapt.

Although she doesn't always carry the sword with her, she uses the storage space assigned to her by Xia Ran to conveniently place things that are not used temporarily. Anyway, it is just a matter of thought, and she can switch immediately. come out.

This way, you don’t have to keep everything at hand or carry it with you. I don’t know how convenient it is.

But whether it is available and whether it is available or not are two completely different concepts. It doesn't really matter whether you go out and drive or not. After all, you know that you actually have a car. But if the car is suddenly stolen one day, it is not a choice whether you go out and drive...

It was probably for this reason that Arturia felt a little empty in her heart.

——After all, it was the Holy Sword that had been with her for a long time, and it was just returned, and it would most likely never come back again. How could this not make her feel a sense of loss?

I always feel uncomfortable all over. Even with my hands empty, I still have an awkward feeling, as if it is incompatible with the familiar state before.

"This is indeed a problem, but who is to say that you are not a real heroic spirit or a servant? The noble phantoms are all real and tangible, not imaginary copies..." Xia Ran shook her head in amusement.

He pondered for a moment: "Actually, it's not a big problem. If you are really worried, we can go to the Fairy in the Lake to get the sword back later..."

"Let's forget about this. After all, it wasn't mine in the first place, and it really shouldn't always belong to me, Master..."

Arturia answered with a strange expression.

"Who says it's not yours? The fairy in the lake is just a custodian. The sword was prepared for you from the moment it was forged inside the planet. I haven't heard of anything else about it. Owner……"

Xia Ran waved her hand casually.

"But it's up to you to decide. Anyway, we have more time. We can get it back before we leave...or it's okay if I make a new holy sword for you. I guarantee there won't be any difference in performance."

"This..." Artoria thought for a while, but finally shook her head. She looked at the scenery around her and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, Master, what are you planning to do? Are you planning to visit every inch of Britain? ?"

"Yes..." the magician admitted frankly, "This island still retains the air and mystery of the Gods. Although this is the characteristic of peninsulas and islands, the farther away from the mainland, the more isolated it is from the mainland. The easier it is for the mystery to remain.”

"But it's already the fifth century AD, and the air in Britain still remains in the remnants of the Age of Gods. This is a bit too much. From a mystical point of view, it is like the navel of the planet, equivalent to Heartland.”

"So no matter how you say it, my magic workshop or your Tower of Glory must be located on this island. This is the last relic of the mythical age, and it can also become the fulcrum that subverts the world."

Listening to what he said, the girl's emerald green eyes showed a trace of confusion.

She naturally knew about this kind of thing, but she still felt that something was not right. The Holy Spear Lungominiad was supposed to be a spiritual equipment to prevent this kind of thing from happening and to fix the era of mankind.

How come it suddenly reversed and became a catalyst for this incident to happen, and even became an important pillar in this incident, and in turn became a pillar that nailed the Age of Gods to prevent it from ending... This is very strange.

But it just feels a little awkward, and I still have to do it as I should.

She once wanted to find the Holy Grail and use miracles to maintain the mystery. Now it is the same if the Holy Grail is replaced by the Holy Spear. And according to Xia Ran, the next step is the incineration of human nature, and a breaking point will be entered into this historical node.

She has two choices. One is to follow the advice given by Xia Ran and take this opportunity to restore the glory of Camelot;

The second option is to fight against the collapse of history, pick up the holy spear to pin the next human era, and prevent the burning of human nature.

But the second option is actually not realistic at all——

Even if she is willing to give up her wish for the so-called righteousness, once again shoulder the responsibilities that are not hers in the first place, and even completely obliterate herself for a long time, her mental structure will be changed by the characteristics of the holy spear, and she will become an existence with divine values.

However, this so-called righteous act is actually of no use. It can only slightly block the collapse point that appears in this era, just like hiding one's ears and stealing the bell.

If Goetia finds that human nature cannot be burned in this era, then it will just avoid this era. In the long history of human nature, there are actually far more than seven turning points in history. It can choose other turning points and turn them into new ones. The breaking point is etched into history.

It simply has too many choices. Anyway, as long as it has enough calories for three thousand years, Artoria can't change anything.

Choosing this option is actually just a matter of doing some hard work, earning a sum of points and Karma Crystals, and then returning directly. People still have to burn what should be burned. The most is that she influenced her era and prevented this short history from being eroded.

——That’s all.

If the unprecedented great cause of the incineration of humanity is not stopped after this, then this record will eventually be reduced to nothing, overwritten and replaced by the Demon King's act of re-evolving the earth as a celestial body and rewriting the Book of Creation.

However, the changes made by Artoria are really likely to cause the failure of Chaldea and others' human psychology restoration project. After all, it is impossible to say that any change has only advantages and no disadvantages, right?

For example, if the sixth singularity is no longer related to Camelot, but is replaced by another copy that is more hostile, maybe Chaldea and his party will fail there?

This is very possible.

Of course, there is another option, which is to ignore everything and do nothing, which is not a bad idea. But this is probably the worst thing. Not only did I give up my long-standing obsession, but I didn't do anything else...

In the end, King Arthur chose to follow his master's advice and take this opportunity to fulfill his wish and continue the glory of Camelot.

At the same time, you can also control the upcoming singularity in the hands of yourself and others, completely seize the initiative, and at the critical moment, you can also give a wonderful assist in the human body repair business.

After all, according to Xia Ran, there is a way to get the best of both worlds, and she chose to trust her Master.

"It seems pretty good there..."

The magician walked out of the forest, and the trees in front parted, revealing an open scenery. His eyes lit up and he looked at the towering mountain peak in the distance——

"How about building a tower on it? Then look at the plain over there. You can build a city as the new royal city of Camelot, the heart of the new kingdom. Your subjects can also see that glorious tower."

"Is it there? From a military point of view, it is not a suitable choice for the capital..." Arturia looked at it and found that the empty plain was open and there was a faint white river meandering in the distance.

She raised her eyebrows slightly and commented subconsciously, but before Xia Ran could say anything, she reacted on her own:

"But this is for secular war. If it is from a magic point of view, this is not a big problem."

Just like ordinary people cannot threaten the magic workshop at all, no matter where the magician's position is set up.

But if there are enemies that can threaten the magic workshop, such as other hostile magicians, servants or dead disciples, then even if it is a hanging garden floating in the clouds, they can invade it, fight it up or bomb it down. .

In comparison, influencing factors such as topography and geography can indeed be ignored.

If a conflict such as an ordinary secular war could threaten the career they were about to build, then both Artoria and Xia Ran could just find a piece of tofu and kill them head-on.

If it can threaten the tower and holy city to be built in the future, it must be a huge danger that transcends the secular level and overrides human beings. In this case, geography is not a factor that needs to be considered.

"Since I have no objection, let's make this decision."

Xia Ran blinked: "From now on, I will be responsible for the design and construction of the magic workshop. There is no difficulty in turning it into a mage tower in form. The tall and upright structure itself makes it easier to gather magic power..."

"Then what should I do, Master?" Artoria asked.

"Gather your subjects, gather the people on this land again, give them protection and food, and let them cultivate and work. As long as they can live and work in peace of mind, society will be able to function again..."

Xia Ran replied without thinking -

"The Battle of Sword Fence has just passed. Your subjects must have regretted and feared it now. Moreover, the barbarian invasion will continue. It is when we need you... But remember not to use your previous identity."

Because King Arthur is dead.

This happened not long ago.

And at this time, there are still some of her acquaintances still alive, such as Bedivere, such as Lancelot...
