Chapter 167 A Confrontation with the Saber King
However, Saber was unmoved by Lin Yu's words; her primary goal remained protecting Shirou Emiya.
Soon, the two people and two Heroic Spirits entered the room, and Rin Tohsaka began to introduce some common knowledge about the Holy Grail War to Shirou Emiya, while also taking him to the church.
As for Shirou Emiya summoning Saber, she wasn't envious. Compared to Saber, her Archer seemed to be better.
Rin Tohsaka's Servant will only be Archer (Red Archer). Besides Lin Yu, Shirou Emiya's Servant will also only be Saber (Artoria Pendragon), because Saber's scabbard is inside him.
.........
"Don't you think this is really bad luck, Saber?"
Lin Yu and Saber were waiting for Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya outside the church, but Saber didn't understand what Lin Yu meant.
This Archer is also a bit eccentric, but like the Lancer from last time, she has a very strong charm, though she really doesn't know Lin Yu.
"Bad luck? I don't think I know you, Archer."
"Don't think that just because you're handsome you can flirt with her at will," said the clown in an annoyed tone.
"Of course we don't know each other, I'm talking about someone else."
Lin Yu looked at Saber, who was wearing a raincoat, and said that she had to wear a raincoat because she could not become a spirit.
"what do you want to say in the end?"
Saber felt something was off. Even if it was flirting, it shouldn't be like this. He came up to pull out her idiot king right away, and now he's saying she's unlucky.
"You probably haven't forgotten the surname Emiya, have you? Like that man..."
Om-!
After Lin Yu mentioned the name Emiya, Saber immediately drew her invisible sword and assumed a fighting stance:
"Who are you? How do you know those things!"
Saber was a bit confused. She didn't remember this Servant from the last Holy Grail War, so how did she know about that man?
Saber didn't know that, apart from her being an exception who wasn't completely dead, the Heroic Spirits summoned in the Singularity also had memories; only the regular Heroic Spirits didn't have memories.
Lin Yu struck a pose again and said:
"Since you have asked so sincerely, we will mercifully tell you that in order to prevent the world from being destroyed, to protect the peace of the world, and to uphold the righteous role of love and justice, I am the man who walks through the river of time and can see through the past and the future."
He struck an exaggerated pose, waiting for the Saber King's reaction.
"As expected, it seems to have a skill similar to the Mystic Eye? No wonder I knew about it."
Saber had always felt that Archer was acting strangely, and it seemed that the side effects of the Mystic Eyes had made him brainless.
Yes! You truly live up to your reputation as the King of the Ahoge (cowlick).
Lin Yu made a victory sign, and Saber actually believed him.
“Since you have such ability, then I accept your explanation, Archer.”
Saber, returning to normal, said something that seemed absurd, but as a Heroic Spirit, everything was understandable.
"So you know my identity now."
Lin Yu watched as Saber's ahoge (cowlick) kept turning in alarm.
"Of course, Artoria Pendragon, right? She also has a very good royal appetite and loves food."
"you!"
Saber's cheeks flushed instantly when she heard "Wang Wei" (王胃). She thought she knew a lot about Wang Wei's identity, but how could he even know how big her appetite was?
This Archer's perverse sense of humor really makes me want to punch him. I don't remember the last Archer having this kind of perverse sense of humor.
"Ahem! It seems you are indeed very capable."
Saber coughed tactically, trying to change the subject and guess Lin Yu's identity, but it seemed impossible to guess.
"The Holy Grail War is over! Want to come with me for some delicious food? All you can eat!"
"No... wait, what exactly did you mean just now?"
Saber instinctively wanted to agree, but then she realized what was really going on and asked about the important matter.
"Don't you think it's really bad luck that this person is connected to that man?"
"You're saying Shirou Emiya and Kiritsugu Emiya are father and son? Impossible, Kiritsugu Emiya only has one daughter."
Saber also had some doubts, but more than that, she thought that Shirou Emiya and Kiritsugu Emiya were just surnames.
"Although we are not father and son, he is an adopted son. After you destroyed the Holy Grail, the evil that flowed out of it destroyed half of Fuyuki City. This new city district was rebuilt from the ruins, and Shirou Emiya was a victim."
Lin Yu's words left Saber momentarily speechless, but she understood the father-son relationship between Emiya Shirou and Emiya Shirou.
"What exactly do you want to say?"
Saber didn't understand why she destroyed most of Fuyuki City after destroying the Holy Grail. What did the Holy Grail have to do with destroying Fuyuki City?
"It seems you don't know what happens after the Holy Grail is destroyed, Saber. The Holy Grail itself won't be affected, but what if it's corrupted?"
"How is that possible? Who has the ability to corrupt the Holy Grail? What you're saying is utterly absurd!"
Saber had some doubts. Was this man lying to her, trying to obtain the Holy Grail for himself? Otherwise, what he was saying seemed too outrageous.
"A pipe dream? Your Master is a survivor and someone who knows the inside story. You can ask him about the disaster in Xindu," Lin Yu continued.
"And you shouldn't have forgotten the previous Master either. He was determined to be a 'partner of justice,' to eliminate all the conflicts in the world and make everyone happy. But after obtaining the Holy Grail, he desperately made you destroy it."
Lin Yu continued, but these words struck a chord with Saber, something that Saber herself had never understood.
She didn't know much about Kiritsugu Emiya, but she knew that he would be willing to lose everything to achieve his goal, and in the end, he used a command to force himself to destroy the Holy Grail.
Although incredible, the claim that the Holy Grail was corrupted does provide an explanation.
"So, this Holy Grail cannot be used to make a wish?"
Saber was a little lost. If her wish couldn't be fulfilled, what should she do about it?
"That's not quite right either. The corrupted Holy Grail can also grant wishes, but the wishes will be granted in a very extreme way."
"Just like if you wish for world peace, the Holy Grail will kill everyone or turn them into puppets, thus bringing peace to the world directly. That's what happened to Kiritsugu Emiya. He found that his wish was different from his own thoughts, so he asked you to destroy the Holy Grail."
Saber's head was smoking. Is this the power of the Mystic Eyes? It can understand the cause of events so well. Does that mean it also foresaw the outcome of this Holy Grail War?
