Chapter 718 Father and Son

The spiral sword Karadboga is the magic sword owned by the Celtic warrior Fergus. Normally, the probability of summoning Fergus with it is higher, but when there is a limitation - it was stained with the blood of King Arthur ten years ago, it is different.

After all, it is the prototype of the Sword of Promised Victory. The two are cumulative, and the probability of drawing the two cards is roughly half and half, just like what Gilgamesh said.

But Ji Xing knew that it was unlikely that he would draw the other half, because Altria's state was very special - she was not a heroic spirit after death, but stayed at the moment before death. She signed a contract with the planetary restraining force Alaya. She would die and become a guardian only after obtaining the Holy Grail to fulfill her wish.

The battle was interrupted ten years ago. Now she must be very actively responding to the call of the Holy Grail. Let alone a holy relic with a directional index of 50%, even if it is a holy relic with a directional index of 1%, she may jump out with a whoosh.

Therefore, the probability is 99.9%!

Ji Xing found that he suddenly got Shirou Emiya's script.

Then, the question is whether to take it or not.

Seeing him staring at the spiral sword on the ground in silence, Rin Tosaka, who thought this was one of the best solutions, suddenly thought of another question.

If it is said that Li Xing's parents died in the battle of the Miyuan River ten years ago, then in a sense, doesn't it mean that Tong Yuan, King Gilgamesh, and King Arthur are his enemies?

The relationship here is too complicated.

She turned her head with a headache: "King Arthur is not okay, the golden hero king, let's change someone. The battle ten years ago destroyed Li Xing's home, although I don't know the details..."

"It's not her. Although I don't care about the life and death of the bastard, I won't be bored enough to deliberately slaughter some ants. With the power of that clown alone, I won't affect the shore." Gilgamesh didn't care at all that this was a disguised admission that it was probably done by himself and Tong Yuan.

Rin Tosaka glanced at Ji Xing and knew that this was a mess that could not be traced. If you really want to trace it, I'm afraid it will be traced to the construction of the Holy Grail War system.

She didn't know how to comfort him, so she just said to the shameless Jin Shanshan: "Weren't you the first to be killed? How do you know that Tong Yuan and King Arthur didn't fight fiercely afterwards?"

"... Humph, little girl, are you deliberately provoking the king's anger?" Jin Shanshan paused and said arrogantly: "The king's gift is only once. If you don't accept it, the king doesn't have to assist a clown who calls himself the king!"

"You will get angry when you tell the truth, and you can't even accept your own failure. What kind of king is you."

Tosaka Rin didn't go too far, just muttered again, and then changed the subject: "You heard it all, Lixing classmate, whether to choose King Arthur as your servant, you decide for yourself."

Ji Xing was silent for three seconds, as if he had finally made up his mind, raised his head and said: "Then I have to trouble you again, Tosaka classmate."

"It's not a big deal." Tosaka Rin let out a sigh of relief: "In fact, apart from the fact that Lixing classmate is a complete rookie, it is also a good thing to have an ally like you who can be trusted."

Although I don't know what my father would think.

"Don't trust me too much. After the camp war, won't your own camp also have to decide the winner?" Ji Xing said, "I will fight for the Holy Grail seriously, and we may be rivals then."

Tousaka Rin was startled, and found that she didn't seem to fully understand the boy in front of her. Yes, before I knew he became a magician, I didn't seem to have talked to him alone in the two years of being in the same class.

He has been living independently since he was seven years old, so he probably won't be a completely shy and introverted person.

So she smiled sweetly, with her beautiful face that could fascinate boys of the same age, stared at Ji Xing and said, "Then just come over, Li Xing classmate, don't die before the decisive battle with me!"

Golden Shanshan stood with his arms folded, the king was aloof.

...

Ji Xing's house

Mordred wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth with his arm and commented: "It tastes good. It's a waste of talent for that boy to be a magician. It's better to be a cook. Then Master, let's formulate a strategy now."

"Don't be impatient."

Shizi Jie Li responded, saying: "To be honest, too many things happened last night. We haven't talked about it properly and haven't seriously understood each other's past and wishes."

"Hmm?" Mordred was startled, turned to sit down opposite Shizi Jie, crossed his legs and said: "Ask if you have any questions."

"Hmm... If it involves questions you don't want to answer, you don't have to answer." Shizi Jie scratched his head: "About 'rebellion'..."

"I knew you were concerned about this."

Mordred's face darkened: "There's nothing I can't say. Yes, I did rebel, but that was because my father never recognized my talent from beginning to end. It's obvious that my sword skills and political skills are equal to hers, no, they have surpassed her! But just because of my background, she completely denied everything about me!"

Sword skills are two things, political skills? Lion Jie looked at Mordred in front of him and said, "So your wish is to become king?"

"No, if I become king in that way, she still won't recognize me! I just want to get the chance to challenge the sword of the chosen one, only this way!"

Legend has it that King Arthur was chosen as king because he pulled out the sword in the stone that all the strong men failed to pull out when he was a teenager. If Mordred can do it, it can indeed prove his qualification as king.

But what if the Holy Grail fulfills your wish but you can't pull it out?

Lion Jie had such doubts, but did not ask further questions. He just hummed and said, "In fact, I have been thinking about a question since last night. Since King Arthur became a servant of the Fourth Holy Grail War, it proves that she must have a wish to realize. What is it?"

Mordred was stunned.

A question that made her feel that her soul was boiling and her heart was about to jump out began to jump.

Could it be... did my father regret it?

Although she insisted at the last moment that "I don't have the capacity to become a king", did she actually regret not recognizing me? !

…

The basement of the Tosaka family.

With the storage of the Tosaka family, the materials for carving the summoning magic circle are not worth mentioning. Ji Xing also easily mastered the process under "Tosaka Rin's narration" and completed it.

So, under the observation of Tosaka Rin and the King of Heroes, after a dazzling glow, the beautiful girl with an extremely exquisite face appeared in the world again and descended to Fuyuki City!

King Arthur, Altria Pendragon felt that she had a long dream.

Ten years ago, Lancer Tong Yuan, who participated in the Holy Grail War with Irisviel and Emiya Kiritsugu, summoned his real body from the Throne of Heroes and obtained a power that she could not resist at all. In the end, her master Emiya Kiritsugu took the initiative to abandon her and "ally" with Tong Yuan.

This was not considered a betrayal, but she returned to Camlann Hill alone and felt very unwilling to end the Holy Grail journey inexplicably.

Even if she knew that the Holy Grail was only the third method and not an omnipotent wish-granting machine, as a king, she would always verify it herself before giving up.

Sitting on the hill with the broken sword, time seemed to have lost its meaning to her until this moment, when she saw the light in the sky again.

She knew that this was the Holy Grail's summons again, and she stretched out her hand to the light with all her strength. In the familiar sense of summons, she received the information given by the Holy Grail that this time was a special seven-on-seven battle.

Then the eyes suddenly brightened.

She saw the figure of the boy in front of her and felt the connection of magic. The supply of magic seemed to be less than one-fifth of that of Emiya Kiritsugu, but the loyal Knight King would not frown for this and asked the words of inheritance: "Let me ask, are you my Master?"

Then she was stunned.

The nearby Toosaka Rin was just a little familiar, but the other one was deeply remembered by her. She was immediately on guard in armor: "Hero King?!"

"Oh?" Jin Shanshan smiled: "You actually retained your memory? Then there is no need to talk too much. Don't be so nervous, clown who calls himself the king, this time you are honored to follow me and fight with others.

When the victory or defeat of the camp is decided, I will continue the unfinished battle with you ten years ago."

The same camp? The red servant? The opponent last time, but this time it's a teammate? !

"So beautiful~" On the side, Toosaka Rin made an exclamation that didn't seem to be praising a warrior, and there was clear envy in her words.

With the participation in the Holy Grail War as a prerequisite, she hoped that the Saber in front of her would become her Servant rather than the difficult Hero King, even if the Hero King would be stronger!

Sighing with melancholy in her heart, she mustered up her spirit and said, "King Arthur, I am the Hero King's Master, Rin Tosaka. Come up and sit down, let's discuss tactics briefly."

It was eight o'clock when Ji Xing entered the Tosaka family, and it was ten o'clock when this series of events ended. He entered the Tosaka family alone, and when he came out, he was followed by a delicate-looking blonde girl.

Rin Tosaka, who had told them about several important matters in the back, watched the two leave, and then looked at the Hero King beside her, her eyes full of disgust.

Altria took off her armor, put on the dress she wore ten years ago, followed Ji Xing step by step, and observed her Master.

At the Tosaka family, she learned from Rin Tosaka the origin of this special seven-on-seven Holy Grail War, and also knew what happened after she left the stage ten years ago.

Kiritsugu was just taking the blame. She knew this better than anyone else, having heard it with her own ears. Tong Yuan decided to attack the clock tower a long time ago, and it had nothing to do with all the evil in this world that polluted the Holy Grail.

She had even heard Tong Yuan's words, "All the evil in this world has been trying to escape from my body," and knew that all the abnormalities came from him.

The King of Heroes seemed to understand this as well. When Toosaka Rin said this, she uttered a cold hum twice. So it seemed necessary to guard against Tong Yuan's reappearance in this Holy Grail War.

He would never go to the clock tower to die, and he shouldn't be purified so easily.

In addition to this, the current situation also made her feel a little tricky.

The Master was indeed a little weak.

The supply of magic power greatly affected the combat effectiveness of the Heroic Spirit. Ten years ago, Kiritsugu Emiya's magic power was enough for her to release five Noble Phantasms, but this time, the Master might not be able to maintain her existence after releasing one.

She was still a special Heroic Spirit who could not transform into a spirit body. This was a challenge for both of them. They had to find a way to change this terrible situation.

But what could they think of?

As a rookie who has only been in contact with magic for less than a month, this supply of magic power is actually quite good, but it is not enough to support her to compete with the Hero King and other Heroic Spirits.

"The magic power currently supplied to you is from one of the auxiliary circuits of the magic circuit in my body."

Just as she was considering how to communicate with the seemingly taciturn Master, a voice suddenly sounded, as if it was floating out of thin air. If it weren't for her keen perception, Artoria would not even be able to determine that it came from the person in front of her.

Auxiliary circuit? One?

"Master, you..."

Ji Xing turned around and smiled: "Currently, I have a total of 30 auxiliary circuits. In order not to affect my own combat effectiveness, under normal circumstances I will only unlock the magic power of the auxiliary circuits for you. You should first get used to the feeling of having 30 of them taking effect at the same time."

There was no time to ask any more. The next moment Arturia felt a surge of energy pouring into her body! The quality and quantity were far beyond those of ten years ago, and it even made her almost lose control of her power for a second, and she was exposed abnormally on the street!

Her body trembled slightly and the blush on her face disappeared. When Artoria looked at Ji Xing again, she was completely shocked: "Master, what on earth are you..."

"As you can see, King Arthur, I am a powerful magician in 'pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger'. I want to pick up the pieces in the Holy Grail War. My wish is the third magic that exists in the Holy Grail."

Ji Xing smiled and said: "Does this conflict with your king's pride? In the confrontation between the two armies, it shouldn't be too much to use a little strategy, right?"

"..."

Another Emiya Kiritsugu type Master? !

No, the boy in front of me is not as gloomy as Emiya Kiritsugu. At least he is willing to communicate with me. This kind of behavior can indeed be called a strategy. King Arthur is not a rigid person who doesn't know how to adapt.

But, but...

His behavior of concealing it even from his teammates was a little un-chivalrous. More importantly, what was going on with this magical power that was so abundant that it far exceeded Emiya Kiritsugu several times or even ten times? Or is it just the auxiliary circuit?

Just like a magician from the age of the gods!

After a short period of filling, the magic water pipe leading into her body quickly turned back into a needle.

"In order to hide under normal conditions, I only give you one circuit. When you face the need of combat, I will give you sufficient battery life in a clever way." Ji Xing said: "One more thing, please keep it a secret for me first and pretend I'm just a newbie magician who doesn't know anything."

Arturia was silent for a few seconds. Although the shock had not subsided, she still gave a positive answer. No matter what he thought, the King of Knights as a servant would set the master-slave relationship upright.

There is no doubt about this!

This is why Ji Xing did not refuse to summon her as a servant after considering it.

Neutral and stable.

Regardless of whether there are more or less positive gains, King Arthur will never be a hindrance.

Except for Mordred.

But bad things may not turn into good things.

"Master, can you explain more to me? For example, why you have such magic power, and how far you want to achieve in this Holy Grail War, together with Tohsaka Rin of the class and her servant Hero King Do you want to hide it to the end?”

"These, let's pass on the senses. I'll tell you while we're shopping for groceries (edited)."

So in the vegetable supermarket, everyone buying vegetables saw a wonderful scenery.

The boy who looked like a high school student was picking fruits and vegetables with a very skillful and professional manner. The girl who was following behind him was as beautiful as if she had stepped out of a comic book, but she seemed to be sleepwalking. She nodded suddenly from time to time, showing expressions of shock or thinking.

In Artoria's eyes, her Master this time has become someone who accidentally picked up magic books after losing her parents at the age of seven, who knew the truth about the Holy Grail War and kept hiding herself, who discovered that she has superb magic talents while practicing silently, A magical character that was only slightly revealed before the Holy Grail War and is only waiting for a blockbuster in the Holy Grail War.

After walking out of the vegetable supermarket, Ji Xing looked at Artoria who was looking embarrassed and thinking, and smiled: "Oh, one more thing, I may have left a surprise for you at home, but in order to make the performance more realistic, I won't let you know for a while. Tell you what it is."

Artoria:?

…

My servant is broken.

This is what Lion Jie Jieli is thinking in his heart at this moment. Ever since he 'awakened' Mordred, the other person has been sitting on the sofa, sometimes thinking solemnly and sometimes smiling stupidly.

There is no mention of going out to seek out enemies.

‘Well, it’s 10:30, aren’t you back yet? If this continues, there will probably be no free lunch... No, I almost forgot that we were in the Holy Grail War. ’

Lion Jie Jieli tapped his temple and suddenly saw Mordred sitting upright.

The broken look faded away instantly, revealing a guarded expression. Lion Tribulation immediately understood that there was probably only one situation that would make Mordred like this.

"Are there any followers nearby?"

"Ah, be careful, Master."

"Outside? Don't worry, it's probably the chef who has completed the summons."

Lion Jie Jieli made a gesture, walked slowly to the window and looked out with half-hidden body. Servants have different strengths in tracking enemies. Mordred can feel the other party, but the other party may not be able to feel them.

Through the window, he could easily see Ji Xing walking on the street in the distance, and the beautiful blond girl following him with her pocket in hand.

"Really...a super beautiful girl, what's her rank? Caster?"

He murmured in his mouth, and the next moment Lion Jie Jieli felt a chill pressing towards his neck again. This was closer than the sharp edge that almost caused him to drive headless last night, almost cutting into his flesh and blood!

"Hey..." He swallowed dryly and looked at Mordred, who almost killed the master with Hengjian, and saw a face that contained countless emotions such as shock, surprise, and hatred.

Even Mordred's body was shaking.

An idea exploded in his mind like lightning.

"No way..."

The other party is my father? !

Is it such a coincidence? !

At the same time, Altria also sensed the breath of the servant. The bag in her hand fell to the ground. She half-lying in front of Ji Xing looked at the window and then opened her eyes wide.

This... is a surprise? !

"Mordred..."

She looked back at Ji Xing, but only saw a confused face. The perfect emotional performance made her feel like she was sleepwalking before.

'Hey, something big is going to happen! 'Looking at Mordred's spirit body, the lion Jiejieli ran out in a hurry.

Ji Xing quietly took a step back.

Mordred appeared in front of King Arthur.

The father whose biological age is always 15, and the son who grows fast because he is a clone and looks to be in his twenties but is actually only 15 years old, this father and son who basically died together, reunited across thousands of years!

"Mordred..." Altria whispered again, wearing armor and holding a sword, with a complicated tone: "Saber of the black side, is it you?"

Mordred was not wearing armor, but stared at King Arthur in front of him with complex emotions such as excitement, expectation, and even shyness.

"King... you still regret it after all, right? Regret not recognizing my talent back then, and want to change everything through the Holy Grail?!"

King Arthur was silent for a few seconds.

"No." She shook her head: "My judgment has not changed. I rejected you only because you don't have the capacity to be a king, Mordred."

"What I want to change through the Holy Grail is my incompetent self. I, who led Britain to destruction, also don't have the talent to be a king."

Mordred was stunned.

The air around him seemed to stagnate for this.

Ten seconds later, the armor of steel was on, and the dark red magic tore the ground apart!

"What did you say?!"

"Do you think you are unworthy of being a king?!"

For Mordred, this sentence made her ten times more angry than the previous one!

5k5.

All day long, I was struggling whether to let Sakura be the master of King Arthur or Ji Xing, but in the end I decided to stick to the original plan. The reason for choosing King Arthur as Ji Xing's servant was not because of popularity or the original work, but because of 'neutral and stable'. Ji Xing's servants are indeed easy to play tricks, but it feels like putting the cart before the horse. Only when the servants are neutral and stable can Ji Xing have a chance to perform.
