However, when the android heard that Ling Wuji wanted to encourage the natural saint to participate in the Holy Grail War, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Since that person has failed to summon, you can actually ask her to use our holy relics to summon King Arthur, right?"
Ling Wuji thought for a moment and said, "Of course you can, but what does it have to do with me? Since her summoning failed, she naturally has no reason to continue participating in this Holy Grail War. If you want her to help you get revenge, you can go and ask her yourself. As for whether she will agree or not, that has nothing to do with me."
The female android puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction and a bit childishly, but soon calmed down.
"That's it."
Seeing that she knew nothing, Ling Wuji was too lazy to continue to argue with her. There was still no news about the holy relics he wanted to find. No matter whether it was the flying painting shadow or the items related to the Yue girl, no useful traces were found. At this time, all parties were almost ready. Even Lu Yinghua had heard the news that Luo Hao had successfully summoned Rider Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng. However, it seemed that the two tyrants did not get along well. According to Lu Yinghua, Qin Shihuang was very confused that she was nominally the co-leader of the mysterious side of southern China but only lived in a corner of Mount Lu.
Moreover, as soon as Qin Shi Huang arrived, he quickly learned about the current situation of the mysterious side of China being divided into the north and the south. As a ruler who seemed to like coloring maps, he could not tolerate this situation at all. He even wanted to use Luo Hao's name to recruit personnel from the mysterious side in the south to fight against the real person in the north, so that the mysterious side could be unified again under the same voice.
He is indeed a tyrant.
pure.
When Ling Wuji heard the news, he was immediately glad that he was not in China, otherwise he would not know how to react if he met such a person.
He was not afraid of Qin Shi Huang.
However, from a historical perspective, he has a good impression of this historical figure who ended the chaos that lasted for hundreds of years from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and unified China again. But he himself does not like such overly self-centered characters. He even suspects that if Qin Shihuang and Luo Hao really defeated the real person in the north, this energetic tyrant would definitely find ways to win the Holy Grail War so that he can linger in the world, and then he will definitely reach out to the secular side, and maybe even want to dye the map of the world into one piece.
But Luo Hao did not obey him in the end.
Rather, it is fortunate that the Holy Grail system has something like Command Seals that can issue compulsory orders to servants, which is why she has been able to live in peace with Qin Shi Huang until now.
Although from Lu Yinghua's description, he felt that sooner or later the two people would erupt into an unprecedented conflict.
After all, both of these men are tyrants by nature.
"Forget it, why think so much..."
Although the records of the person he wanted to summon are vague, he may not be an easy person to get along with. For example, the battle between Zhuanxu and Gonggong caused "the pillar of heaven to break, the earth to break, the sky to tilt to the northwest, so the sun, moon and stars moved there; the earth was not full in the southeast, so floods and dust returned there." In other words, since the battle between the two men, the "Buzhou Mountain" which served as the pillar of heaven collapsed, making the whole world completely different. Is such a person really a good man?
Therefore, Ling Wuji actually prefers to summon that Yue girl.
Although he was somewhat interested in Zhuanxu's ability to change the world, his true energy was obviously not enough for him to do so.
In comparison, on this ancient and mysterious planet, the legend of the Yue woman can be regarded as the earliest expounder in the history of Chinese swordsmanship. In his opinion, the reason why Xuanyuan or Zhuanxu used swords was only because it could demonstrate their majesty. It didn't matter if they changed weapons, as long as they could not lose their majesty, they would naturally change.
The Yue woman was the first person to truly expound on swordsmanship.
Although from a rational point of view, Ling Wuji felt that swordsmanship or techniques, like Go, would be better in the future than in the present and better in the present than in the past. If the best Go player in the Middle Ages came to the modern era, let alone AlphaGo, he would probably not be able to compete with normal professional players at all, because in the ancient times, information exchange was too inefficient, and even the carrier of text was not widely popularized, and it was still bamboo slips. But in the modern era, more people are studying the same thing, and more experience of the predecessors can be inherited, instead of hiding in the mountains to study alone, and having a little trick can dominate the world -
Of course Ling Wuji himself knew that this was not a world where everything could be explained by rationality.
If we talk about it purely rationally, there are too many unreasonable things in this world.
So he was also looking forward to whether the real Yue women and the real swordsmanship of the pre-Qin era could surpass today's swordsmanship? If they could, what was the basis for that? Was it really as Zhuangzi said in "The World" that "people of later generations are unfortunate enough to not see the purity of heaven and earth and the great principles of the ancients"?
Will Taoism tear the world apart?
Ling Wu Ji thought leisurely in his heart.
Strictly speaking, his expectation for the Holy Grail War was not to reduce the number of God Slayers, although he would try his best to do so if possible, but he had no animosity towards those people. Perhaps Luo Hao was an exception, but his feelings towards Luo Hao were actually quite complicated, not entirely hostile. As for other God Slayers, he had only heard of them, and the only ones he had seen with his own eyes were those few, like Vauban. You could say that he had a way to die, but people in high positions were arrogant enough, and this was also the attitude of most superiors towards such things as taking human lives lightly.
They don't care about being right or wrong.
They only care about whether they can get the results they want by taking human lives.
In their eyes, human life is just a tool that can be consumed. Essentially, they do not think that they are the same as the human lives they disregard. They just regard themselves as "human" and others as ants.
Ling Wuji certainly didn't say that he would acquiesce to this matter, but there are definitely not only Vauban like this. Even the magician mentioned by Aozaki Orange is a similar person to some extent. Even Qin Shihuang is such a person. If Ling Wuji were to take action against Vauban and others for this reason, then his enemies would probably range from "Ireland to Khitan". And to say that he has any good feelings towards these people is of course overthinking.
Volume 4: Where is Penglai: Chapter 3: Meeting
The moral standards of each generation apply to different people.
Ling Wuji himself was also well aware of this fact.
For example, Confucius, who has been revered as the most holy teacher for thousands of years in the feudal era of China, said "Do not impose on others what you do not want others to impose on you", but the people he defined would definitely not include barbarians, or even common people who also wear Chinese clothes. After all, he also said, "Punishment does not apply to officials, and courtesy does not extend to common people." In other words, in his eyes, only scholars can be regarded as human beings, and other people are definitely not covered by the moral concepts he constructed.
In the same way, for those godslayers or magicians, perhaps only their own kind can be called human beings, and other people, in their eyes, must be equivalent to gorillas in the eyes of ordinary people.
"So you're going to imitate Char and throw down an Axis?"
Of course, for the other side of the world, the game called "Heavenly Man" is no less significant than Axis being thrown to Earth.
This is also one of the means for Wu Ji to transform the world.
Although Ling Wu Ji had no confidence in what the situation would turn out like.
"Well, Your Excellency?"
Just when Ling Wuji was daydreaming by himself, the artificial man had not gone far and was still sitting opposite him.
"What android? Don't you think that's too rude? I should have introduced myself, right? I'm Irisviel von Einzbern," said the woman with red hair and red eyes, who looked mature and in her twenties, acting a little childish and slightly angry. "Please call me by my name. That's more in line with your status."
"Status?" Ling Wuji said, "If a person is in a high position, he can do whatever he wants. Why should he care about etiquette?"
"The reason why nobles are noble is because their duty is to protect the people they rule!"
Ling Wuji really didn't want to communicate with this kind of young lady who lived in seclusion.
Is this idea of hers the result of reading too many knight novels about King Arthur?
Ling Wu Ji suddenly thought of the scabbard of Avalon in her hand.
However, he was not in the mood to care about her. He just waved his hand casually and wanted to leave, but the other party stopped him. His purpose was to ask him for Kamiya Kaori's contact information. Ling Wu Ji just casually reported the residence of the natural saint. Anyway, this news was not a secret at all in the mysterious side of Tokyo. In addition, the man was actually a mechanical idiot and could not use any high-tech products at all, so mobile phones and other communication methods were not often used. Letting this android go to meet her directly was the best way.
……
As a member of the Holy Church, although her current status is somewhat similar to that of Yang Jian in the Heavenly Court system, which means "he obeys orders but not proclamations", her treatment in the Holy Church has always been very good. After all, she is a living saint, and for religious organizations, she is simply the best propaganda tool that can't be better. Although she now has a tendency to get out of control, it is obvious that the Holy Church was powerless to do anything about the current situation in Japan before, and naturally has no good way to deal with Ling Wuji now.
And Kamiya Kaori's roots are basically in Japan.
At present, someone's status has basically been tacitly accepted in Japan.
In addition, she was the former female pope of the Amakusa-style Cross Church.
Therefore, her residence in Tokyo is already the goal that most people strive for throughout their lives.
The Einzbern family's android Irisviel actually only lived in the Einzbern Castle and was not familiar with the outside world. Even if she got the specific address of Kamijou Kaori from Ling Wuji, she had no way to get there quickly. She even acted too naive when asking for directions, which made passers-by wonder if she had escaped from a mental hospital.
Although it is indeed rare for a mentally ill person to look like this.
There were also passers-by who were attracted by her appearance.
After all, her appearance looks like she is cosplaying.
But how do you say that?
Fucking a retard is against the law!
So the male passers-by she talked to didn't think much of it in the end. They just told her how to take public transportation such as buses, subways and taxis, so she was able to arrive that night.
It was a cloudless moonlit night.
Although in the bustling urban area, no one noticed the state of the full moon in the sky. After all, there were too many light sources and too many flashing lights to dazzle people, so naturally no one cared about the full moon above their heads. However, Kamiya Kaori's residence was in a secluded residential area, and they even dug a pond in the courtyard in an ancient way. From afar, one could hear the sound of "deer power" when the water fell into the bamboo and it was full and suddenly fell.
It was on such a dreamlike night that she met the natural saint.
Logically speaking, Kamisaki Kaori actually has many reasons to reject this android.
After all, as Ling Wu Ji said, since her summoning failed, she had no reason to participate in the Holy Grail War.
However, after hearing the other party's purpose, she finally opened the door, welcomed the woman in, and took her through the courtyard to a reception room. Kamisaki Kaori treated this android strictly in accordance with Japanese etiquette, but it was obvious that Irisviel had little contact with the outside world, so she could only ignorantly learn Kamisaki Kaori's kneeling posture. Kamisaki Kaori saw her looking around uneasily on the cushion, and it was obvious that this sitting posture was not comfortable for her.
However, Kanzaki Kaori still followed the etiquette and made tea for her before she began to speak: "Are you saying that your Einzbern family wants to cooperate with me?"
Irisviel nodded.
"Let's first talk about what kind of cooperation it is."
She was unmoved.
Even though she joined the Holy Church to avoid bringing misfortune to Amakusa's companions, and even though she was not as old as Ling Wuji had imagined, Ling Wuji had always believed that she was not really only nineteen years old. He felt that the reason she looked like this was probably because she was born a saint. However, asking a woman's age has always been a taboo, and Ling Wuji did not dare to say what the result would be if he guessed wrong, so he never really asked, although in fact, this kind of thing can be confirmed by asking around -
But she is, after all, the former female pope of the Amakusa-style Cross Church.
Although the current Amakusa-shiki is just a small organization with only a few dozen people left.
But after all, she has been famous since she was a child, and she has already had experience in dealing with related matters.
Volume 4: Where is Penglai: Chapter 4: Relationships and Attitudes
"You mean, you want to provide me with the holy relic so that I can summon King Arthur?" After hearing this, Kanzaki Kaori just frowned and said, "Let's not talk about whether I can summon him or not, but what are you seeking in this matter?"
She suddenly remembered the feud between Danic, the founder of the Thousand World Tree Family, and the Einzbern Family, and said, "Could it be that the Thousand World Tree Family was destroyed? So you just want revenge? In that case..."
She thought that the other party should go find Ling Wuji.
With Ling Wuji's personality, he might not have any good feelings towards the magician family.
Although the Einzbern family is also a family of magicians, it is a family built by artificial humans and there are too many ethical issues that deserve discussion. People like Ling Wuji don't like to sort out such a mess of moral issues. Therefore, even if many technologies and concepts in the Einzbern family are obviously problematic, Ling Wuji may not choose to intervene.
However, she remembered the problem that Ling Wuji had to face. A heroic spirit of King Arthur's level might not be able to match the servants summoned by the God Slayer, right?
Moreover, the summoned King Arthur was very likely to be of the Sword Rank, and would most likely occupy a spot in the Holy Grail War with the best-looking data panel. She had also heard of Ling Wuji's plan. If he could really summon Zhuanxu, the most suitable rank would obviously be the Sword Rank.
Of course, in Ling Wuji's opinion, Archer is actually a more suitable person.
After all, the legend of the Tengkong Sword is "If there are enemies in any direction, this sword will fly there, and if it points to the direction they are headed, they will be defeated." It looks like an Archer template no matter how you look at it.
Besides, don’t say anything like the sword class has the best-looking panel. Isn’t the archer class the most popular class throughout history?
Although in a certain game, the most versatile class is actually the Art class.
However, in reality, Caster's main method is to build a magic workshop. After all, only in a magic workshop can Caster exert his combat power to the maximum level. But others also know that he will do so. Therefore, in the Holy Grail War, the most hated are actually the casters. As long as others find out that they are building a magic workshop, they will definitely rush over and focus their fire on them immediately.
So Kamiya Kaori thought about it and decided to refuse.
"why?"
Of course, Irisviel didn't have high expectations for this matter.
Although she had little contact with the outside world, the genes inherited from the Winter Saint gave her a smart brain, so she also understood Kamijou Kaori's position. In addition, she also heard from the Einzbern family that the Holy Church had already arranged a candidate for the supervisor of this Holy Grail War, so it would not be her. If she wanted to participate in this Holy Grail War, she could only do so in her personal capacity.
This is the embarrassment of her in this incident.
But if she had refused with firm conviction from the beginning, Irisviel would certainly not have had any problem.
But this natural born saint obviously refused after asking.
So Irisviel wanted to find out why she was like this.
Kanzaki Kaori hesitated for a moment, but finally told her the reason why she was worried that King Arthur's spiritual base was not up to standard.
No matter how naive Irisviel was, she suddenly understood and said bluntly, "You're not worried about whether King Arthur's spiritual foundation is good enough. You're just worried that you can't help him, right?"
