The castle in this forest was hidden by countless magic arrays and illusions. Ordinary people could not approach it.
Zou Xu followed Alisfall into the empty castle, and this castle welcomed the first person in many years who was not from the Ainsberm family.
Although there was no human smell here, the servants seemed to have prepared everything before they arrived.
After bringing the brewed black tea to Zou Xu, Alisfell finally asked,"
"So, what kind of cooperation does the First Emperor want to reach with us? One had to know that there was only one victor in this war.”
Altoria stood behind Alisfel in her battle dress. Although Zou Xu had not shown any hostility, he was still a contender for the Holy Grail.
Zou Xu picked up his teacup and took a sip before frowning. It seemed like he was picky about Sakuya's cooking.
After gently putting down the teacup, Zou Xu held Weier and helped her tidy up her silver hair.
"Didn't I say that I will tell you when the real master of Altoria arrives?”
Alisfall narrowed her eyes and smiled."Your Majesty, you really know how to joke. I am Saber's master.”
"Oh?" Zou Xu smiled meaninglessly and slowly looked at Alisfall.
“!”Facing that pair of golden snake eyes, a chill rose from the depths of her heart and instantly filled her entire body. Alice's body began to tremble unconsciously, and her red eyes became increasingly dull.
"Ying Zheng!" Altolia, who had Intuition, stepped in front of Alisfel and blocked Zou Xu's vision. Alisfel, who had finally escaped Zou Xu's gaze, held her chest and breathed heavily. Cold sweat covered her forehead.
Zou Xu looked away and smiled." I came here with sincerity. I hope Madam can understand how great an honor this is."”
Alisfall sat in her seat with her head lowered. She was a little afraid and did not dare to look at Zou Xu. Right now, her mind was in a mess and she could not concentrate.
Just as Elisfall was at a loss for what to do, Zou Xu suddenly looked up and said,
"It seems that the main person is not an unreasonable person.”
"Eh?" Alisfall looked up in confusion and saw a black-haired man in a trench coat standing quietly in front of the door. She didn't know when he had entered, but he didn't make a sound.
"Qiesi…" A blush appeared on Alisfall's fair face. No matter what happened, as long as he was here, there would be no problem.
Aimiya Qieti walked to her side and nodded at Altoria. Altoria also returned to Alisfell and stared at Zou Xu, afraid that he would explode.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Magician Killer.”Seeing the arrival of the main character, Zou Xu looked at him with interest. This was the person who sacrificed his family for love in the original novel.
Aimiya Qieti stood beside Alisfall coldly. His body seemed to protect Alisfall behind him as he looked at Zou Xu quietly.
"What is your purpose for coming here? Or, who are you?”
Weigong Qiesi glanced at Zou Xu's right hand and asked coldly.
"Who am I? Ha..." Zou Xu couldn't help but laugh.
"As the master, didn't you already know my real name the moment you saw me?”
Emiya Qietsu frowned slightly. Indeed, the moment he saw this follower, his real name appeared in his mind, but this could be the effect of some magic.
"Is that so? So what class will you descend as, Caster?”If the other party was Caster, then this effect was most likely some kind of magic.
"Master, on our way back, we met Caster. He called himself Gilderay.”Altoria couldn't help but say.
“... It wasn't Caster, but Lancer, Rider, Archer, and Saber.”
"If you're not Caster, then your rank should be Assassin.”Weigong Qiesi spoke slowly as if he had confirmed Zou Xu's identity.
Zou Xu held Weier in one hand and waved his other hand slightly. A dark red screen was displayed in front of everyone, and what was recorded on it was the Servant's Attribute Panel that only the Master could see!
Putting aside the fact that Zou Xu's Basic Attributes were extremely powerful, everyone was shocked when they saw the rank recorded on the map.
“BeBerserker？!？!”Alice covered her mouth and said.
Weigong Qieti was the first to recover. He looked at the follower in front of him who had revealed his attributes, rank, and even precious artifacts with a smile on his face.
"As a Berserker, he can still be rational? Should I say that he is indeed the world's first emperor?”
Emiya Qieti shook his head with a bitter smile. The gap between them was too great. Not only were their Basic Attributes far behind Saber's, but their Treasured Artifacts were also far superior to Saber's. Whether it was their invincible defense or the legendary army that they had never seen before, it was very likely that they were hiding some unknown trump cards.
Most importantly…This follower was the master, so the assassination that Amiya Qietsi was best at was like a joke. He did not want to use his Origin Bomb to test the city wall that had stood since ancient times.
How was he supposed to defeat such a cheat-like opponent? Soulless!
"Although I really don't want to admit it…However, we really can't do anything about your strength. Could you please explain your purpose of coming?”
Aaloria clenched her fists and loosened them after hearing Aemiya's surrender. Indeed, her doppelganger was no match for Zou Xu. Perhaps only her real body could fight him.
" It's very simple. It's for the Holy Grail." Zou Xu said softly with his eyes closed.
" As expected?" Weigong Qiesi gritted his teeth unwillingly.
" However, my goal is different from yours. I want the Holy Grail not to make a wish, but to purify it.”
"Purify?"
" Purification?!"
Zou Xu's words made everyone present question, and the one who had the biggest reaction was Artolia.
Wei Er, who was in Zou Xu's arms, seemed to have been woken up by their voices. She sat up in Zou Xu's arms and rubbed her eyes in a daze. Her cute appearance was very attractive.
However, no one was paying attention to Wei Er at this moment. Everyone present was attracted by Zou Xu's words.
"What do you mean? The Holy Grail needed to be purified? That was the Great Holy Grail! It was a miracle caused by the second spell!”Emiya Qieti shouted excitedly. It didn't matter if it was his wish or the thing in his wife's body. If the Holy Grail was contaminated, then Alice!!
Zou Xu rubbed Weier's hair and slowly opened his eyes…This time, it was no longer a pair of golden snake eyes, but a pair of crystal blue eyes that seemed to contain the endless mysteries of the universe.
Everyone who saw the pair of eyes lost their luster and stood rooted to the ground as if they had lost their souls.
All of this did not last long. In just a breath, Zou Xu closed his eyes again.
"I'm a little exhausted…"
'Please be careful, Master. Although Master's body is now a spiritual clone formed by the spiritual foundation, his spirit is still Master's own.'
Zou Xu smiled when he heard Sakuya's blaming voice in his mind.
"Why…'Why…' Why, why, why…" The first one to recover was Altoria. She looked at the ground in a daze and sat on the ground as if she had lost all her strength. She kept repeating the words.
Just now, she had seen many things. She had seen herself being ordered by her master to break the Holy Grail and commit suicide in extreme anger. She had also seen many other images, but the final result was the same…She stood in the Camran Hill that was filled with corpses and personally used the holy spear in her hand... It pierced through Mordred's chest and stood alone on the hill.
Zou Xu's heart skipped a beat when he saw Altoria's face. He walked to her and slowly squatted down.
"So this is what you look like after seeing your own fate, Altoria, Pendragon.”
Artolia hid her expression under her bangs. She didn't respond, as if she hadn't heard anything.
"Do you know, I know a young girl, a girl who sacrificed everything for her people, just so that the people could obtain happiness and smiles.”
"I will never forget the scene where she unhesitatingly abandoned her human identity and pulled out the King-Choosing Sword just to make more people smile.”
Artolia trembled slightly. She sat on the ground and said softly,""Then she failed…Britain was destroyed, Camelot was gone, and the number of people who died was incalculable. He killed his own son with his own hands…"
"I... I didn't make anyone happy…I... A failure."
"Yes, you do." Zou Xu unconsciously reached out his hand and caressed Altolia's face.
"Do you still remember how the citizens crowded the streets and welcomed you with laughter? Do you remember how your knights, soldiers, and citizens looked at you?”
Artolia seemed to have started to recall…Yes, she still remembered the citizens standing on the streets cheering and jumping for joy.
He still remembered the trust in his knights and soldiers 'eyes when they looked at him.
His dull eyes seemed to regain some light, but in the end, they dimmed again.
"But in the end…I still failed."
Zou Xu took back his hand and stared at Artolia.
"Are you willing to believe me?"
"Ai?" Artolia raised her head and looked at the stranger in front of her. However, the stranger knew her past, and his eyes…That gaze was filled with kindness, determination, and some kind of indescribable emotion.
Looking into Zou Xu's eyes, Artolia was silent for a while before she slowly said,""I'm willing."
"Then go…Go and fulfill your wish."
'Master! Borrowing my power frequently will make your spirit...'
"It's alright." Zou Xu smiled. It was the most genuine smile.
'I understand…'
"I'm sorry, Sakuya, but please let me…Be willful for once."
Artolia looked at the first emperor in confusion. He seemed to be communicating with someone, but she quickly drew her attention back to what was happening to her.
Golden light dots started to radiate from her body as if she was leaving, but she could feel that…He felt that there was a place calling out to him. That familiar feeling…It was Camelot!
"Go, fulfill your wish…Very soon, I'll go to Heroic Spirit Seat to pick you up and leave…My king."
The golden light was getting brighter and brighter. Artolia looked straight at Zou Xu and smiled."Is that so…I'm really curious about your true identity.”
Most of Altolia's body had turned into spiritual particles and was transferred away. When she disappeared completely, Zou Xu suddenly heard a soft moan."Don't forget…Your promise."
Watching the last spiritual particle slowly rise into the sky and then disappear, Zou Xu closed his eyes."Of course…"
