I Will Be the Son of Man

And since the other party is Hill's mother, that is to say, in a sense, she is also her...

Thinking of this, Anna stopped her thoughts in time.

Because, she was worried that if she continued to think about it, she might not have the courage to go to [Chaldea].

But when the time comes, do you want to bring some gifts there?And, specifically, what should I do to make myself behave better......

Anna couldn't help but began to think about something, and at the same time decided to ask her elder sisters first after leaving here.

PS: Ask for a ticket to reward the blade monthly pass!Give me some strength, cuties......

Chapter 044: The Holy Grail

Fuyuki City, Mount Enzo.

In front of the dark void, Hill looked at Hercules in front of him.

"Then, I am ready to sever the bond, Hercules."

"Well, let's do it. This Holy Grail War, I have already lost. In addition......"

Hercules smiled, then turned to look at Hill.

"Illya, please take care of the child before you leave, Hill."

Hill nodded, and then the silver light on his hand shone slightly, and a short dagger appeared in his hand.

Silently and quickly across Hercules' body, the invisible magic line was also cut off at this moment.

Faint light spots of spiritual particles began to gradually appear on Hercules' body, and the moment the magic power supply in his body disappeared, he chose to return to the [Seat of Heroes] without hesitation.

"See you next time, Hill. But next time, I won't lose again......"

"I see. But I won't lose, Hercules......"

The tall and strong figure disappeared in place, and Hill turned to look at Anna, Artoria, and Medea who were standing behind him.

Finally, he set his sights on Medea.

"In this case, can the Holy Grail appear?"

"Well, as far as the conditions are concerned, it is enough. But......"

Medea frowned slightly, she had already observed the spells that constitute the Great Holy Grail here before.

To be honest, with the level of people in this era, it is really commendable to be able to achieve this level.

However, the problem is that the holy grail here seems to be polluted by something......

This function as a collection of a large amount of magical power still exists, but the function of the so-called "universal wishing machine" cannot be guaranteed to exist.

"Sill, this so-called Holy Grail may not be able to help you realize your wish......"

"How is this going!?"

Upon hearing this sentence, Artoria first asked anxiously.

This time, the Holy Grail War finally held the final victory in her hands, but now she was told that there might be a problem with the Holy Grail, which made it difficult for her to accept it for a while.

"Ok, I know."

When he came to the front of this big void, Hill realized that there was something wrong with the Holy Grail.

That smell was exactly the same as what I smelled on Hercules who was in a strange state before.

It was a smell that made him feel uncomfortable.

However, even if the Holy Grail cannot fulfill his wish, Hill must first obtain the Holy Grail.

Because, in there, there are still things left to him by Gilgamesh.

Medea froze for a moment, she wanted to explain, but seeing that Hill understood, she swallowed the words that came to her lips.

However, when she saw Artoria's eager gaze, she spoke again.

"The Holy Grail should have been 'polluted'."

"When I controlled the worm before, I stripped off some of the weird [black mud] that existed on him."

"After the investigation, it was discovered that those things are likely to be a collection of human malice."

"Now it seems that the source of those [black mud] should come from this so-called holy grail."

Seeing that Arturia was still a little confused, Medea continued to explain patiently.

"That is to say, at the moment when the Holy Grail has been polluted, even if it still has the ability to realize wishes, it will eventually be realized in a distorted way under the influence of [Black Mud]."

"It's like, if you want to make a wish like 'want to save the world', it may be realized in a distorted form like 'the extinction of all mankind'......"

Hearing this, Artoria finally understood.

However, it was precisely because of understanding that her expression suddenly became dim.

After all, if this happens, doesn't it mean that her long-standing wish can no longer be realized......

Slightly pursing her lips, Arturia's holy blue eyes were shaken.

"Saber, are you alright?"

Hill noticed Artoria's abnormality, so he couldn't help asking.

"Ah, it's all right..."

With a forced smile, Arturia pulled herself together.

But even though the words were said in this way, there was still no way for her to accept it in a short while.

However, the facts are now in front of us.

No matter how unwilling to accept it, you can only choose to accept it.

Do you have to wait again......

Clenching her fists slightly, Artoria's face darkened.However, she also controlled her expression, after all, she didn't want to show embarrassment in front of her "junior brother".

"Saber, is your wish still to change the ending of Britain?"

Looking at the pair of golden eyes staring directly at her, Artoria froze for a moment, then nodded slowly.

"Well, but looking at it like this, I can only look for other opportunities......"

"Why do you want to change the ending of Britain, Saber?"

"why........."

Artoria's expression became a little more serious, and she looked at Hill and replied.

"Because, I can't accept that kind of ending. Moreover, it's all because of me that it became like that..."

"But, if you want to change the ending, what will it look like?"

Hill recalled the conversation he had with Gawain, one of the Knights of the Round Table, when he was in [Mooncell].

At that time, because of the other party's status as a Knight of the Round Table, Hill asked the knight after knowing Artoria's wish.

——How do you view the final outcome of Britain?And, the opinion on Artoria.

And the other party's answer was——

Although he felt remorse and self-blame for the end of Britain, even so, Gawain could only choose to accept it.

The only thing he regrets is that he failed to protect the king well in the end and watch him till the end.

And when he mentioned [King Arthur], his face was also full of emotions called respect.

"What will become? At least, someone who is more suitable than me to be [King Arthur] can be allowed to guide the group of people."

"At least, at least in that way, Britain may end up in a different ending......"

There was uncertainty in Artoria's tone. In fact, her heart had already begun to waver in response to Hill's question.

"Then, let Britain be destroyed again?"

"Eh?"

Arturia stayed for a few seconds, she didn't seem to think about this issue.

That's right, according to the normal trend of history, even if she really made a wish to the Holy Grail, the ending of Britain may change slightly, but in the end, it will definitely end in perdition.

If not, the modern history based on that past will be completely changed.

And that would contradict what Merlin told her back then, "Britain is bound to be destroyed".

No, maybe Artoria knew the possible consequences of her wish long ago, she just simply didn't want to admit it, and wanted to find another possibility by avoiding it.

"For Hill, don't you want the ending of [Uruk] to change?"

Suddenly, Artoria asked.

The holy blue eyes looked straight at the pure white boy, as if he wanted to find a sense of identity and empathy from him.

And Anna at the side, seeing Artoria mentioning [Uruk], couldn't help but think of the final ending of that city-state.

The slender eyebrows under the blindfold frowned slightly, and Anna looked at Artoria.

"I don't know what the difference will be after the change."

"Jill once told me that the past is the bedrock of the present and the future, and even when it's gone, some things will remain."

"So, [Uruk] has not been destroyed, it has always been here."

Pressing his left chest, Hill's eyes were thorough and serious.

"do you accept..........."

Artoria smiled wryly, then shook her head lightly.

"You're right. No matter how much it changes, Britain may not be able to find another way."

"But, sure enough, I still want to give it a try. After all, it would be too reconciled to just give up like this."

As if she had figured something out, Artoria raised her head, and the haze on her face dissipated a lot, leaving only a little trouble between her brows.

Hill didn't say anything more, because they each had their own insistence, and the reason why he asked like that just now was because of Gao Wen's joking request when he was on [Mooncell].
