Infinite Begins with Giants

Chapter 446 Questioning
Kotomine Kirei, nicknamed "Father Mapo" in the Jianghu world, has seen blood in the eight consecutive swords of the black key, and Bajiquan has already entered the room.

Renn is actually very interested in him, but limited to his camp and position, he has no chance to talk to him.

"Kotomine Kirei, he has been trained under his father as a probationary trainee since he was a boy. He is excellent in all aspects. After joining the Eighth Secret Society of the Church of the Holy Church, he quickly became a first-class proctor.

However, no matter what he chooses to do, such as exercising hard, fighting against heretics, marrying a wife and having children, learning magic...but he still doesn't feel any sense of happiness and fulfillment, and is essentially an extremely empty man. "

Renn told some of Ma Po's experience in a flat tone. Before being induced by the King of Heroes to join the Tax Evasion God Sect, Ma Po's behavior was considered righteous.

Although doing good deeds would not make Ma Po happy, he did not do anything bad. If he hadn't come to participate in the Fourth Holy Grail War, maybe Father Mapo would have spent his life in such a well-behaved way.

"Extremely empty?" Emiya Kiritsugu frowned.

Empty, lonely and cold, looking for a woman, why are you staring at him, maybe Kotomine Kirei did something to him... Father Kiritsugu felt a sudden chill.

As a hunter and killer, the most fearful thing is that he becomes the prey, and he doesn't know enough about the enemy. This is the situation of Father Kiritsugu at present.

He took a deep look at Ren, and continued to ask:

"You seem to know him very well. Do you know why he came to participate in the Holy Grail War? Why did he focus on me?"

"He doesn't know why he was chosen by the Holy Grail, but he thinks he can find the answer from you.

Perhaps in his view, you are the same person as him, and you are also very empty. Knowing why an extremely empty person like you wants to pursue the Holy Grail, he will be able to get the answer. "

Ren narrated unhurriedly.In fact, this is just a misunderstanding, Father Mapo and Emiya Kiritsugu are not the same kind of people at all.

But from the surface behavior point of view, the two are surprisingly similar.

As a first-class agent of the church, Ma Po has been fighting against fallen magicians, dead disciples and other heretics, but not for justice and faith.

As a magician killer, Emiya Kiritsugu has been hunting down those evil magicians who disregard human lives, or active in war-torn places as a mercenary, but not for money.

Their methods of fighting the enemy are very ruthless, and logically speaking, they have no reason to pursue the Holy Grail. On the surface, they do look similar.

It's no wonder that Ma Po mistakenly thought that Father Kiritsugu was of the same kind as him.

"I see."

Emiya Kiritsugu felt thoughtful when he heard the words, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and the tense expression on his face also relaxed a little.

What he was afraid of was actually not Kotomine Kirei, but the unknown.

Now that he knows why the other party came, even if the enemy is strong and the reason is ridiculous, he will not be afraid.

The rest is just - how to kill the enemy.

Next, Ren revealed Ma Po's fighting style to Father Kiritsugu:

"You are definitely not his opponent in close combat. At the same time, you must be wary of the black keys he throws. The agent's robe is bulletproof material, and it has solidified defensive spells to resist small-caliber firearms..."

This allowed Father Kiritsugu to have a clear understanding of Mapo, and Ren drew a few runes on the clothes on his arm, telling him the effect of the runes.

Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy can help you win a hundred battles.

After doing all this, Emiya Kiritsugu did not choose to leave, he looked at the setting sun, and asked inadvertently:
"Wu Ming, you don't seem to like your former self very much. Wouldn't it be nice to be a hero or a partner of justice?"

In fact, when Wuming told his background, it touched Emiya Kiritsugu quite a bit, and he was keenly aware of the self-mockery in Wuming's tone.

Father Kiritsugu didn't think Wu Ming's experience was as simple as he said.

Ren smiled slightly, and said with a little emotion:

"When I was a child, I dreamed of being someone special and feeling unique, and I was no exception.

I thought about becoming a famous hero, creating a legend, and being admired and praised by the world.

I did it, and after failing twice, I gave up. "

"So, you don't think you are a hero now?" Father Kiritsugu's gaze flickered, staring at him and questioning.

Ren nodded, with a flat face:
"No, I'm not made to be a hero. Every time I lose, it's a disgraceful loss."

Even though a year hadn't passed, the experience in the giant world was like a dream.

However, he still failed, leaving only confusion and loss in the end.

I no longer have the blood and passion to be a hero, and now I am just living my own life.

"After only failing twice, you gave up?"

The girl's clear voice came from behind, and King Dumao looked straight into Ren's eyes, as if he was asking questions.

Seeing this, Father Kiritsugu left directly. On the balcony of the castle, under the afterglow of the setting sun, there were only two servants left.

Ren turned his head to look at Saber, chuckled lightly:
"King of Knights, how dare you say it, what do you mean by only failing twice? Maybe one day, after you fail twice, you will give up saving Britain."

"It's impossible! No matter what, I want to save my country." Arturia immediately retorted.

She will never give up, and she doesn't like people who give up lightly like Wu Ming.

Looking at Saber, who was full of fighting spirit, as if she would never give in, with extremely firm eyes, and thinking about her endings, Ren was silent for a while.

Three lines and five endings, none of which she succeeded, and the best thing was to lie under a tree and die.

Ren sat directly on the floor tiles, put his arms behind his head, leaned against the city wall, and said slowly:
"Knight King, do you know that the time for a person to devote himself to his ideals is limited, and human beings will eventually grow old.

At the age of 8, people can call out that I will be a hero without any scruples, admiring those heroes in Tokusho dramas, cartoons or novel legends.

Maybe I will imitate some classic moves and shout a few passionate slogans.

However, at the age of 18, maybe he is still in the second grade, with passion and blood in his heart, vowing to become a great person, but he will not be so naive.

At the age of 28, it is worth thinking about how much blood and passion is left; at the age of 38, it should be almost worn out; at the age of 48, you may have long forgotten what you looked like when you were young...

Who's going to say I'm going to be a hero when I'm old? ! "

The last bit of sunset has also faded away, Saber was silent for a while, staring at his face:

"Perhaps, but I think you are very young, and you haven't reached the point where you can't devote yourself to your ideals?"

"Not as young as you, you look like a little girl." The corner of Ren's mouth raised. He is about 20 years old now.

His teasing tone made Saber snort coldly, and she couldn't help scolding:
"Caster, I'm the King of Knights! I'm not a little girl, if you call me that again, it's provocation."

Oh, it's really scary, why don't you cut me with a sword.

After complaining in his heart, Ren smiled lightly, ignored her threat, and said in a flat tone:
"Knight King, I heard that after you pulled out the sword in the stone, your body stopped growing, and you will remain young forever.

So, is anyone afraid of you?When they find out you don't age at all? "

It sounds absurd that someone would be terrified of the Dumb King.

But in fact, this is true. If you are old and find that your childhood friend is still a teenager, you will definitely think that the other party is a monster.

Saber was slightly taken aback, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Some people may feel fear, but more people regard this as a miracle possessed by the king."

"Really? You won't age, but the people will, the people around you will. Even if the Knights of the Round Table are very powerful, they will also age until they can't keep up with you in the end."

Saber's eyes widened, and she said in doubt:
"Caster, what do you mean?"

"It's simple, you are forever young, you are tireless, you can keep fighting for your ideals, but they can't.

You who are frozen in the girlhood, can you really understand the changing of the years, the exhaustion of blood, the wavering and changing of beliefs, as well as aging, escape and weakness? "

Ren stared at Saber who was still young, beautiful and full of vigor, and said in a slightly erratic voice.

"You...you mean, I don't understand people's hearts?" Artoria's whole body turned cold, and her tone couldn't help trembling.

"Knight King, have you tried to think from the perspective of ordinary people? If you try, maybe you will know." Ren sighed softly, and said with self-deprecation, "For example, I am an ordinary person, and Give up your ideals, not as strong as you."

This time, Artoria didn't question him, but fell into silence, her eyes were a little blank.
