Under the Root

Chapter 58 Substitution - Artoria

The chest wound was throbbing with pain.

The heart pierced by the long sword twitched, interfering with his thinking.

How long ago was this wound inscribed?

Well.The memory is still quite clear.

That was after the battle of Jianlan, when he signed a contract with the world.Save your homeland, and then participate in the war across time and space.

The end is its own fiasco.Although it is the Holy Grail War on the surface, in fact, the ending has already been decided.

Fate has been sealed.Just like the fate of one's own motherland is irreversible.

This feeling is very painful.

There's nothing more painful than sitting back and watching things happen without being able to do anything about it.

...

And this time...

----

"The third one."

London, inside an unknown villa.

The holy white knight sat on the transformed throne and cleaned his spear.said in a low voice.Throughout the night, his allies lost contact one by one.It is a very surprising thing.

There's nothing wrong with being missing though.In other words, she would be happy to see it all disappear.

But her intuition told her that something different was about to happen.

"The third. What do you mean?"

Staying next to Artoria is Shiki who returned from Chaldea.

Today is a rest day.She is not required to be on duty in Chaldea.And according to what she said, although she wanted to play with Li Lin, that guy stayed behind closed doors.Ignore her.

Hence the return trip.I ran to the Lion King for a meal.

I saw Yamato Nadeko lying on the sofa decadently, flipping through the gossip news in boredom.

"...No, it's nothing." He lowered his head and gave Shiki a strange look with his emerald green eyes.Then the cherry lips parted slightly.

"By the way, Shi..."

"Um?"

"No, nothing."

"... Arturia, you are really strange today. Did someone beat you on the head? If you have any questions, just ask." The voice raised slightly, and Shiki said doubtfully.

...

"Shi, remember that you are born noble."

Taking a deep breath, Artoria spoke.

"Born to be noble?" Shi looked up puzzled, and was stunned for a moment.It suddenly dawned on me.

"Oh, you said connect [ ]. Yes, in theory I can connect to it. What's wrong?"

"Then which step can you do through it?" Arturia continued to ask.

"Emmm, small-scale manipulation of world information, fixed-point predictions. Historical retrospect. That's probably all."

"So weak." Arturia was disappointed.Although it was a very convenient ability, it did not exceed her expectations.

To put it simply, taking into account physical fitness, Shi is weak even if she can't beat her.

"Hey, if you give me enough preparation, I can plot to kill you." Shiki waved his fist dissatisfied.

"Yes, then help me find Mordred."

"Tsk, you bastard." With a light tut, Yamato Nadeko closed his eyes and concentrated on it, although he was reluctant. "Mordred... fell asleep outside."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure. Nothing in this world can't be hidden from【】."

"...Too."

"Then what about Zhu Yue?"

"That guy...well, drunk. Sleeping on the table."

"Skaha?"

"The one next to Zhu Yue is her. It's not wrong to be drunk. It's strange, when did the two of them have such a good relationship."

Shiki tilted his head.In her world, everything is harmonious.

"Anyway, this world is already so strange. No matter how strange it is, it can't be so strange. You are very strange, and I am very strange. Li Lin... is also very strange."

Slowly shook his head.Arturia pondered for a while.Then stand up.
