Next, Shen Er, what's your business?

Chapter 342 The new employee of the suppression force

"Master, you seem to be familiar with me?"

Artoria's question caused waves in Shen Er's heart, and the name of the waves is memory.

familiar?Of course I am familiar with it, how could I not be familiar with it?
In the previous life, you were the second most familiar Two-dimensional character to me, even more familiar than the master Scathach.

I remember how amazing you were when you first appeared on stage, and I was also worried about your injury.

When you left, although I was sad, I still hoped that you could find peace.

I remember all your settings, every episode of your plot, all your avatars and career backgrounds.

I can proudly say that among the million chefs, there are only a handful of them who are better than me.

Even now that you have traveled to the Xingyue world and met various characters in person, you can still be ranked in the top ten among the characters I am familiar with.

Without you, I wouldn't be a true Chef of the Moon.

Once upon a time, how much I wanted to see you, whether it was to be your enemy or to be your master.

But now, the last thing I want to see is you, because no matter what kind of position you come in, as long as you are a follower, it means that you have not come out of your sad wish and gained peace as I wished.

Your appearance proves that my efforts in the Fourth Holy Grail War have failed.

Abandoning the human body and carrying the British girl on your weak shoulders, is your time still stuck on the hill of the sword fence?Are you still traveling in various worlds and eras, pursuing the Holy Grail?

Or, after the Holy Grail War that you and I participated in, you still had confusion and hesitation in your heart, and you didn't break the shackles of restraining power, and finally became a pathetic guardian?
Either way, it's not a good ending.

The eyes are changing and the expression is complicated.

At this moment, Shen Er is not an ambitious assassin who is ready to kill all directions; nor is he a cautious master who plans the layout.Now he is just a chef of the moon, a chef of the king, hoping that this woman who has dedicated her life to her country and her subjects can have a peaceful ending-even though this she may not be that her.

"Master?"

The one Shen Er stared at, although she was no longer a girl, still couldn't figure out why her master looked at her like this, it seemed to be nostalgia, it seemed to be regret, and there was more she didn't understand s things.

"What's wrong?"

Artoria's slightly bewildered voice awakened Shen Er from his own world, and he sighed: "It's nothing—Miss Lingxia, take Little Jack out to play for a while, I have something to say to Artoria .”

"Jack, come with Mom, and Mom will play hide and seek with you."

Lingxia, the Sixth Leader who was up and down in the wind and dust, knew how to observe words and expressions, and knew how to advance and retreat. She took Jack's hand and walked out of the room.

"Hide and seek?" The innocent little Jack asked with his head tilted.

"A very fun game, mom will teach you, okay?"

"Okay, okay, I like my mother the most."

Jack hugged Sixth Director Lingxia's arm, smiling happily.

Children's happiness is sometimes so simple, but it's a pity that the children who make up Little Jack haven't enjoyed it, not for a day.

After the Sixth Director Lingxia left with Little Jack and closed the door intimately, Shen Er spoke slowly.

"Artoria, I have some questions to ask you, please answer me."

"Is the answer to the question important to you?"

"It's important, very important."

"I see, I will answer truthfully."

Although a little concerned about her master's strange behavior, Arturia still nodded, her instinct told her that he would not harm her.

"Have you been to a place called Fuyuki and participated in a Holy Grail War?"

As a Servant, Arturia is the most complicated existence of Xingyue, and the saying that "a person's various spirits can fight a Holy Grail War" is by no means false.

Counting various main story and game characters, there are eight people named Arturia.Excluding the two funny characters, there are six people left, and these six people come from three different possibilities of Artoria.Among them, the silver-white armor and lancer Artoria, commonly known as Gundam, and the sword-level Artoria, commonly known as Jiandai, who I met before should be the same person in different worlds, or in other words Different possibilities derived from the same person.

Although they are the same person, their experiences and choices are very different.Jian stays between the gun and the sword and chooses the sword as the main weapon. Whether it is the sword in the stone or the sword of vowed victory, both have the ability to solidify the body, so the sword stays until death is the posture of a girl.Gundam is different, she uses the Holy Lance as her main weapon, and the Holy Lance does not have the effect of solidifying the body, so she has become the Yujie that Shen Er sees now.

Although Jiandai and Gundai are both called Arturia, they are actually independent and different individuals.Theoretically, it is impossible for Gunner to have participated in that Holy Grail War.However, there is still a trace of luck in Shen Er's heart. He and Qiang Dai have neither fate nor cause and effect, and it is even more nonsense to say that they are compatible.The only one who is destined is Jiandai. Jiandai also had a holy spear when he was alive, but he used it less, and it is not impossible to appear as a spear rank.As for the appearance, the summoning of servants is full of infinite possibilities, and any accident may lead to changes in the spiritual foundation of the spiritual weapon-not to mention, it is an accident that Shen Er summons servants as a servant.

Arturia answered without any hesitation: "I have been."

"What occupation?"

"Saber."

Shen Er was overjoyed, his guess was indeed right, this was the dumb hair he was familiar with, but with a different appearance.

The relationship between this world and the world where Shinji lives is Yilian Tuosheng. The two worlds will be classified into the same world line from before the third Holy Grail War. The deterrent force sets a specific point in time for the contract.

Because Artoria, who was stationed at the sword fence, was still alive, she remembered the experience of being summoned every time, and she would not lose the memory of being summoned in the past like a heroic spirit summoned as a servant.

"Who was the winner of that Holy Grail War?"

"From the result, it was me, even though I should have lost the last battle." For the King of Knights, victory is victory, and failure is failure. No matter how he appears in the world, this nobility will not change.

"After that? You go down, no, has your wish come true?" Shen Er finally did not directly ask the question he was most concerned about, but changed the way.

"It didn't come true, because the Holy Grail has been polluted and no longer has the function of a wishing machine, so I destroyed it." When he said this, Artoria's expression was calm, without the slightest regret.

"And then—? You continued to seek other holy grails, so you answered my call?" The trembling at the end showed that Shen Er's mood was far less calm than he appeared.

"No." Artoria shook his head, "Perhaps you won't believe it, Master, but I have no pursuit of the Holy Grail. There are other reasons for the corresponding summon this time."

"other reasons."

There was a "thump" in Shen Er's heart.If she no longer pursues the Holy Grail, she will not stop at the sword fence, and if she can be summoned accordingly, it means that she has not gone to sleep in the ideal land, so there is only one answer——

"You made a contract with the restraining force?"

"Eh? Master, you know?"

Artoria's face showed obvious surprise, whether she was in the posture of a girl or the posture of Yujie, her curious expression was as cute as ever.

"Know some."

"That's really great, I was just thinking about how to tell you, Master—"

Artoria couldn't continue, because she saw Shen Er's eyes, that kind of eyes mixed with unwillingness and distress.

"—Master, why are you looking at me like that?"

Shen Er didn't answer, but just asked: "It's very hard, being the guardian of the restraining force, the scavenger of Alaya, in order to protect the survival of human beings, killing non-stop."

"Master, you are mistaken, I am not the guardian of Alaya."

Arturia's reflexive answer made Shinji frown.

"Isn't it Alaya? Could it be the Gaia of the planet's will? Well, that's right, you hold the holy sword forged by the planet and the star spear that fixes the surface, and it's normal to work for Gaia."

According to the records in the supplementary chapter "Garden of Avalon" (Garden of Avalon) of "Fate stay night", it should be Alaya, a collection of human unconsciousness, who made the contract with Artoria.But it's hard to say, after all, Artoria has a deep connection with the two major restraining forces, and it's normal to work for anyone.

"No, Master, your direction is wrong. It is indeed Alaya who made the contract with me, but not the guardian."

"what is that?"

"It's an observer. This is the first time I've received a request from Alaya."

"Nani?" Suddenly, Shen Er felt that something unexpected had happened.

PS: Guess who is the first?The second master had already mentioned her existence.
