I Will Be the Son of Man

Confused in Artoria's heart, she accelerated her sword moves, making them more swift and powerful, and the changes began to emerge.

But to her surprise, it seemed that due to the similarity of the moves, after she used the sword moves that she had learned from that person and understood on her own, the opponent quickly adapted to the rhythm, and appeared to be similar in form and spirit. , All shapes and all gods are used.

Are you learning and evolving at the same time? !

Shocked by Hill's talent, Artoria did not take it lightly.

Innate divine power, coupled with such talent, indeed, in terms of martial arts, it is enough to compete with followers in hand-to-hand combat.

Abandoning the last sliver of contempt in her heart, Artoria became completely serious.

The sound of the sharp collision of the sword blades was sometimes hasty, and sometimes it sounded slowly, making the empty street no longer so quiet.

Diarmuid watched Arturia and Hill's fighting posture and habits, and narrowed his eyes.

--genius.

The main focus was on Hill, and Diarmuid came to such a conclusion.

The heart is as pure and innocent as a child, and the eyes are as sharp and precise as a beast. He is simply a born warrior.

At this moment, Diarmuid fully understood where Hill's confidence in challenging the followers came from as a master.

An existence like the other party, even if placed in his own era, is still a character who can become a hero.

However, is it because of the age, the skills in some places are still a bit stagnant...

Observing Hill's footsteps, as well as every move and gesture, Diarmuid found that although the opponent had considerable martial arts skills, he didn't know if it was due to his inexperience. A sense of craftsmanship.

It's not, it's the feeling of completely mastering skills and honing them to perfection.

However, at the age of the other party, it is already quite remarkable to be able to achieve the level in front of him.I shouldn't judge by my own martial arts level now.

Diarmuid couldn't help smiling, and his heart became hot with every sword strike between the two in the field.

On one side is a swordsman with sharp swordsmanship and pure breath.

One side is a young man with extraordinary talent and the seed of a brave man.

No matter which side you will fight against in the future, then tonight's trip is worthwhile.

However, the only strange thing is that the sword moves of the two seem to be... exactly the same.

It wasn't because of the boy's "evolution", but because from the very beginning, the foundation of the two swordsmanship was exactly the same.

It's like, mastering from the same school.

Sure enough, it was neither an illusion nor a coincidence.

Artoria finally confirmed this point, she withdrew a certain distance back, and said suddenly.

"Wait a minute, before we continue the duel, may I ask a question, Hill?"

"question?"

Seeing this, Hill slightly lowered his blade, stayed where he was, and looked at Artoria.

Arturia hesitated for a while, and then spoke uncertainly.

"Sill, your swordsmanship seems to be very similar to mine. Can you tell me who taught you?"

"fencing......"

Hill was stunned for a moment. Although he was aware of this fact, he didn't pay much attention to it.Seeing that Artoria specifically mentioned it, he also felt that there was nothing to hide, so he replied simply.

"It's Merlin."

"Eh?"

Hearing the unexpected answer, Artoria froze for a moment.

Chapter 011: Senior Sister and Brother

At night, Fuyuki City, warehouse street.

"Huh? Merlin? But, isn't that..."

Hearing this name, the first thing that came to mind was not Artoria, but Irisviel.

Because, she knew that Saber Artoria's true identity was actually the legendary king of knights in ancient Britain, King Arthur.

And the person with the name of Merlin is the rumored great sage who assisted King Arthur.

Eyes full of confusion, Irisviel couldn't help looking at Arturia who seemed to be dead in front of her.

Just a coincidence of the same name?

Merlin?A sage in the days of King Arthur?

Diarmuid looked at Artoria, who was obviously in a daze because of this name, and he couldn't help guessing in his heart.

Will react to this name, in other words, Saber is very likely to be one of the knights of the round table......

Silently collecting and analyzing information, however, in Diarmuid's view, it is most likely a coincidence that the name was revealed from Hill's mouth.

After all, if it is really the legendary sage who taught him swordsmanship.Doesn't that mean that the sage has survived to this day, or that this young man has lived from that era to the present...

Furthermore, that sage is a magician, and his sword skills are completely nonsense.

Diarmuid shook his head repeatedly, feeling ridiculous for his absurd guess at that moment.

But at this moment, to Diarmuid's surprise, the voice of his Master rang in his mind.

——【Lancer, after that, find the right opportunity to work with that boy to finish off Saber.And, during that time, I allow you to use the Noble Phantasm. 】

【However, my lord, it is really a little bit...】

——【Lancer, this is the Holy Grail War, not a glorious duel between knights.Have you forgotten your promise to dedicate the Holy Grail to me? 】

【No... I understand, my lord. 】

His face became darker, Diarmuid took a deep breath helplessly, stroked the spell ribbon wrapped around his gun, and looked at Artoria in the field, apologizing slightly.

Sorry, Saber...

Is it just the same name?No, it's not.

Artoria finally recovered from her astonishment, and the way she looked at Hill gradually became complicated.

If it was just because of a name, she would not be like this.

However, the fact that Merlin knew swordsmanship and was her swordsmanship teacher was something that only a few people in that era knew.

In that case, the problem is back to the original point.

How did the other party get Merlin's teaching?

Is it an existence living in the same era as yourself?

impossible.Because in terms of breath, the other party is undoubtedly the living.Moreover, during the time spent with Merlin, Artoria never heard from Merlin that he had a second student.

But if that's the case, where did my "junior brother" come from?

Could it be that Merlin was looking for another student after him...

After much deliberation, she could only come to the conclusion that Arturia didn't know whether Merlin was still alive.

But thinking about it, that man who was a little frivolous but actually quite reliable probably lived comfortably somewhere after that incident.

The corners of Artoria's mouth curled up slightly, and on the basis of the goodwill she had received from Hill's clear temperament, it would be a little more intimate.

"That person, is he okay now?"

Not in a hurry to continue the duel, Artoria asked with a smile.

Knowing that the other party's words should be referring to Merlin, Hill frowned and recalled.

"I don't know, he suddenly disappeared."

Recalling what he learned from Lixiang back then, according to what the other party said, when Merlin was in Uruk, he seemed to have returned to the place that belonged to him because he had exhausted his duties.

"...Heh, you really have that person's style."

Arturia couldn't help but chuckled, but she immediately restrained her expression.

"Although I didn't expect to meet that person's student in this era, but I won't let it go, Hill."

After regaining her stance, Artoria gave Hill a slightly different feeling from before.

It's not that her own temperament has changed, but her attitude towards herself seems to have changed slightly.

Although Hill was a little surprised by this, he didn't relax his vigilance either. He held the silver sword in both hands, raised it up, and once again put on the same posture as Artoria.

It was as if they were two people in a mirror image.

boom!

The ground was crushed again, and this time, both of them rushed towards each other at the same time.

However, just as her blade wrapped in the Wind King barrier was about to touch Hill's sword, an unexplained sense of danger suddenly appeared in Artoria's mind.

In the next moment, a red spear, like a poisonous snake spit out a snake letter, scuttled out from the side and headed towards her abdomen.

(③42967465)

Under the momentum, it was impossible for Arturia to stop her figure at this time.

She frowned tightly, and could only try her best to shift away her vital points, exposing her waist to the other party, in exchange for a chance.At this time, the blade in her hand also deviated from the original slashing trajectory due to her own movements, so she could only make a parry, preparing to defend against Hill's attack.

However, to Artoria's surprise, Hill's sword suddenly changed direction at that moment, as if realizing that she had no intention of rushing forward, and slashed towards the scarlet spear, sparking a burst of sparks.

In the same way, he also forced the gun back and let it be retracted.

After missing a single hit, the three pulled away in tacit agreement and looked at each other.

"Lancer, you were just..."

Arturia breathed a sigh of relief, and gave Hill a grateful look.She turned her head to look at Diarmuid, who had suddenly intervened in the one-on-one duel just now, with sullen eyes.

However, when she saw the apology on the other party's face, she roughly understood it.

"Is it your master's order?"
