Chapter 321 King Arthur Doesn’t Understand People’s Hearts

Sunshine, grass, and dilapidated European-style buildings

“How does it feel to visit your own grave?”

Jiu Xing, dressed in modern clothes, looked at the girl in a suit beside him and spoke.

In front of him and Altria was a piece of grass, but in front of the grass stood a tombstone.

There is also a plaque next to the tombstone recording the life story of King Arthur.

“If you don’t speak, no one will think you are dumb.”

Altria didn’t look at Jiu Xing, but just looked at her own grave in front of her with a little melancholy.

“Tsk, have you thought about what to do next?”

Jiuxing took out a mint candy from his pocket, peeled off the sugar coating, and put it in his mouth.

“…I’m going to Fuyuki City.”

Altria’s words made Jiu Xing look sideways.

“Still thinking about your Holy Grail?”

Upon hearing this, Altria nodded but did not speak.

“Now, look.”

Jiu Xing pointed around.

This place has become a tourist attraction. As King Arthur is a legendary king in the history of the British Empire, many tourists come here to visit.

“What are you looking at?”

Altria looked at the sparse tourists around her and felt a little confused.

“Look at someone, are you looking at me?”

Jiu Xing felt a little helpless about this naive person beside her.

“people?”

Altria continued to be confused.

“This was your country.”

“Perhaps the ruler has been replaced by someone completely different from the original one.”

“But Altria, what is the wish you want to fulfill with the Holy Grail?”

Jiu Xing put his hands in his pockets and looked calm.

“I want… my country to stop being destroyed…”

Altria spoke hesitantly.

“You are really silly and cute.”

Jiu Xing chuckled and ignored the other party’s dissatisfied look, and continued:
“My real identity is actually an ordinary person.”

“I don’t know why, but it was like I opened and closed my eyes and came to the world where Xun was.”

Altria looked at Jiu Xing in astonishment. She didn’t understand why the other party said this to her.

“In my original world, there is such a saying.”

“The general trend of the world is that if it has been divided for a long time, it must be united, and if it has been united for a long time, it must be divided.”

“Altoria, you are so persistent that the country will not fall again.”

“Look around here.”

Jiuxing pointed around, and the girl’s emerald green eyes looked in the direction Jiuxing pointed.

“Has this country truly been destroyed?”

Altria did not speak, but remained silent.

“This…is not my country…”

Listening to the girl’s words, Jiu Xing revealed an inexplicable smile.

“I didn’t expect you to be so ambitious.”

Altria looked at Jiuxing blankly. She didn’t understand what Jiuxing was talking about.

“You want to build a country that won’t fall.”

“For eternity, for generations to come?”

Listening to Jiu Xing’s words, Altria almost subconsciously denied:

“No, that’s not what I meant. I just wanted to…”

“You just don’t want the country to be destroyed in your hands? Or, you don’t want it to be destroyed before you die?”

“Or can I understand it as, after I die, who cares if there’s a flood?”

Listening to Jiu Xing’s words, Artoria couldn’t help but frown and said angrily:

“You are lying!”

Jiu Xing put on an innocent look, spread his hands and said:

“No way, this is obviously what you meant.”

“I, I just… want… I want the people of my country to live in peace! Everyone can have enough food… and warm clothes…”

“Right, that is it!”

Altria spoke hastily, as if to prove herself, but her words became quieter and quieter, and she even emphasized it herself afterwards.

“Do you think that people in this country are not getting enough to eat and not getting warm clothes?”

“Or does it mean that the people of this country can only have peace, be well fed and well clothed under your leadership?”

“Altria, to be honest, you are not fit to be a ruler.”

Jiu Xing’s words hit Altria’s heart like a hammer.

She couldn’t help but take a step back, looking at the man in front of her in confusion.

At this moment, she couldn’t help but start to think about why she was participating in the Holy Grail War.

“Actually, look.”

Jiu Xing pointed at the tourists around him again.

“In this era, even if there is a war, due to the existence of a certain force, no one dares to start a large-scale war easily.”

“Even if there is a war, it is limited to a certain range.”

“Many people can come here from thousands of miles away to enjoy the scenery they have never seen before.”

“Enjoy the beauty of peace.”

“And this piece of land.”

Jiu Xing looked at the girl in front of him with a smile in his eyes.

“It is also one of the five most powerful countries in the world.”

“Is there anything else you are not satisfied with?”

Altria pursed her lips tightly, she knew that Jiu Xing was right.

but……

but……

But did I do something wrong again…

Merlin…what should I do…

Altria couldn’t help but feel a little confused, she couldn’t get over the hurdle in her heart.

“Actually, do you know what I was thinking when I first suggested that Xun build an empire?”

Jiu Xing walked forward step by step, and the girl named Altria followed behind him.

Sitting down casually on a bench, Jiu Xing patted the seat next to him and motioned for the other person to sit down.

Seeing Altria sitting down, Jiu Xing continued:
“The world where Kaoru, Nao, and I are.”

“The war has been going on for a thousand years.”

Upon hearing this, Altria’s eyes widened slightly.

“I already knew this when I first suggested that Xun build an empire.”

“There is no lasting peace in the world.”

“My thought at the time was, even if it was 300 years, 200 years, 100 years, or 50 years.”

“When peace comes, everyone will know what peace looks like.”

“In this way, people in the future will know how precious peace is.”

“Even if there are wars in the future, there will always be people who stand up.”

“Unify that world once again, and let peace come once again.”

Jiu Xing looked at the fallen leaves on the ground, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he continued:
“I can’t achieve permanent peace anyway.”

“I don’t have that ability.”

“This is the only stupid way.”

Altria stared at the man beside her in a daze, with mixed feelings in her heart. She looked at Jiu Xing and couldn’t help but whispered:

“Jiu Xing, you are a noble person.”

“No, I don’t think I’m that noble, it just makes me uncomfortable.”

Jiu Xing interrupted Altria’s words and said jokingly:
“So, Artoria, instead of dwelling on those regrets that have already disappeared into history, why can’t you look forward?”

Altria was a little depressed.

Jiu Xing was right. The homeland she was standing on now was a peaceful and tranquil country, and it had enough power to protect itself.

It seems that this country no longer needs me.

But now I am left alone in this world. What can I do?

It won’t be long before Jiu Xing disappears too.

I am alone in this world…

Altria suddenly felt a little… lonely.

He should have been dead long ago, but he remained in this world because of the evil of the Holy Grail.

Is this God’s punishment for my stubbornness?

“You two are here…”

Sora ran over panting, followed by a white-haired loli with a stubborn look on her face.

“I’ve been looking for you for a long time.”

Sora relaxed his somewhat rapid breathing and then spoke:

“Kennedy has been waiting outside for a while, preparing to process Illya’s admissions procedures.”

“Would you like to go and have a look together?”

The admission procedure is naturally the admission procedure for the Clock Tower.

As the Lesser Holy Grail, Illya’s talent for magic is naturally needless to say.

If the Holy Grail War still exists, then as the Lesser Holy Grail, it is essential for her to participate in it.

Then the ability to protect oneself is a must.

“I don’t want to go to school!”

“Illya wants to go home!”

Illya, who had been here for five days, shouted unconvinced.

“And you, a human trafficker, when will you disappear?!”

Illya stared at Jiu Xing fiercely with her gem-like eyes.

She already knew everything, and also knew that Kyuuki was the one who defeated Emiya Kiritsugu.

That is, her biological father.

But my mother wanted me to follow Jiuxing.

So Illya was very conflicted at the moment.

On one side is the bad guy who defeated Dad, and on the other side is Mom’s expectations.

This left her with no choice at a young age.

It’s like someone asking a child whether he likes his father or his mother.

“You hate me so much?”

Jiu Xing chuckled and rubbed Illya’s white fur, but no matter how Illya dodged, that hand was firmly on her head.

She was so angry that she grimaced and wished she could bite the evil hand above her head.

But when he thought about how he had bitten the other person before and Jiu Xing was not hurt at all but also caused his teeth to hurt, he could not help but suppress the thought in anger.

“Yup!”

“Hate hate hate hate hate!”

“I hate you so much!”

Illya could not help but stamp her feet in frustration.

Jiu Xing couldn’t help but laugh out loud when he saw the silly and cute look of this little girl.

Altria couldn’t help but smile when she saw Illya like this.

“Let’s go and see together.”

Jiu Xing wanted to hold Illya’s hand, but the white-haired loli hid directly behind Sora and made faces at him.

“Okay, let’s go.”

Sora rubbed Illya’s head and spoke with a smile.

“Illya seems to like Miss Sora very much?”

Altria looked at Illya and spoke.

“Well, this kid is cute.”

Sora chuckled as he held Illya’s hand.

Upon hearing this, Illya pursed her lips and said nothing.

“Let’s go find Kennedy.”

–

A black sedan was driving in the center of London. Jiu Xing sat in the passenger seat, looking at the European-style buildings outside the window boredly.

Kennedy was driving, and Altria and Sora were sitting in the back with Illya.

“We’ll arrange for Illya to stay in the Clock Tower later. Sora and I can also take care of her. You can rest assured, Jiuxing.”

Kennedy spoke while driving the car.

“It’s not my child, why should I worry about it?”

Jiu Xing said indifferently.

This sentence made Illya behind him bared her teeth again.

“Can you use my sealing technique?”

The wind outside the car blew Jiuxing’s red hair, and her gray-brown eyes were full of calmness.

“Yes, I am now able to use the Diamond Blockade.”

“But the derived Bowei God is still not enough.”

Kennedy’s words made Jiu Xing look sideways.

This guy is truly a genius. He can use the King Kong Blockade in just five days.

“Even for me, God of Wave, it took me four years to master it.”

“Just practice diligently. While I still have time, ask me if you have any questions.”

Kennedy smiled and said:
“In that case, I won’t be polite.”

Kennedy then asked Jiu Xing about the problems he had encountered in the past few days one by one, and Jiu Xing told him everything without hiding anything.

The car drove on the road and soon arrived at an quaint European-style building.

Several people got off the car, and thanks to Kennedy’s relationship, Illya was successfully enrolled in school.

However, the names of Kennedy and Sora were filled in the guardian column.

“Humph!”

Leaving the admissions office, Illya crossed her arms and was obviously dissatisfied with the arrangements made for her.

“What are you humming for, little one?”

Jiu Xing poked Illya’s forehead.

“Ah! Stinky Jiu Xing, so disgusting!”

Illya was about to pounce on Jiu Xing again, but was hugged by Sora.

Sora looked at Jiu Xing helplessly and said:
“You are already a grown-up, yet you still bully children.”

“Hahaha, isn’t it fun to watch this little guy?”

Jiu Xing pinched Illya’s face again, which almost made Illya blush again.

“Hi, hi, hi…”

“Then you guys chat, I’ll go out for a walk by myself.”

Kennedy looked at Jiu Xing’s departing back and was silent for a moment.

Even though he had used three Command Spells to increase Jiu Xing’s magic power on the last night of the Holy Grail War, after such a long time, the magic power of those three Command Spells had long been exhausted.

Moreover, Jiu Xing not only fought with Archer Gilgamesh, but also fought with the evil Altria.

The magic power consumed in the battle was almost enough to make Jiu Xing exhausted.

This can be seen from the other party’s increasingly frivolous attitude.

Several people have seen Jiu Xing turned into a child due to lack of magic power.

The more eccentric the other person’s personality is and the younger they look, the weaker their magic power is.

Until finally he turned into a child and disappeared from this world alone.

“Liya… go and take a look…”

Sora looked at Altria, who was standing indifferent beside him, with some concern.

Altria tilted her head, somewhat confused as to what Sora meant.

Jiu Xing was about to disappear. Wasn’t this something he had been mentally prepared for long before?

Why do you have such an expression now?

Sora couldn’t help but sigh when he saw Altria looking confused.

King Arthur did not understand human nature.

“Forget it. If we go there now, there’s nothing we can say.”

“Jiu Xing does not need this kind of charity-like pity…”

　Forget it, I’ll just go back and write about the fifth war. Some people want to watch Code Geass and some want to watch Re: Zero. I’m a bit conflicted.

I will sort out the rider class Jiu Xing and the caster class Jiu Xing later. In the fifth battle, just fight the two Jiu Xings.
