While Oberon was changing his lord, the Wei Palace was also bustling.
As the son of the red dragon, Arthur certainly knew the relationship between Uther and Vortigern, but brothers fighting each other is common throughout history. How many relatives have killed each other for the throne?
Arthur was more concerned about the change in Izawa Sugi's condition.
Why did a Servant with emerald green hair turn into King Uther in the blink of an eye?
Ize Shan was confident and patiently explained: "Because my condition will be affected by him."
"Based on the blood bond, you can think of it as a guardian spirit that acts in accordance with the wishes of its brother."
"Guardian spirit? Why?" Arthur's head was full of question marks, "White dragons and red dragons are mortal enemies."
Ize Shan smiled helplessly: "I said it before, we were originally relatives, and we are both dead."
When a person dies, it is like a light going out; all the hatreds in life vanish into thin air.
In his anger, Vortigern drank the blood of the white dragon and became the humble king who destroyed Britain; Uther seized Cornwall and snatched Igraine away, creating King Arthur with the most ancient and noble bloodline.
They had their own destiny and walked towards opposite futures.
But after death, apart from the responsibilities imposed on them, their blood relationship is just a simple family relationship.
"My fight with him was only about Britain's future, but Britain has now entered modern society, and past experiences have become legends. Why should I still cling to past grudges?"
Arthur was silent.
He looked quietly at King Uther in front of him, and suddenly remembered something.
Arthur asked cautiously, "I never had the opportunity to meet you in life, but you look...?"
"Oh, gender? Don't worry about it." Ize Shan waved his hand nonchalantly. "The Arthur that Merlin and I created is a girl. Her name is Artoria. I wonder if you have seen her?"
Arthur nodded shyly: "I was lucky enough to see it once during my pursuit journey."
He did stray into Chaldea once or twice, and even made a pact with the lord of Chaldea, but due to his mission to hunt the beast, Arthur never stayed in Chaldea for long, and rarely saw the female King Arthur and her subjects, not to mention King Uther and Vortigern.
"We didn't communicate much, I mean, neither the other me nor the other my subjects."
Arthur had his own Knights of the Round Table, and his were the best.
"I don't think it's necessary."
Izawa Sugi looked at Arthur quietly and said with a smile: "Do you have any other questions for me?"
Arthur replied subconsciously: "No."
That's right, he has both male and female models, as if it doesn't matter whether King Uther is a man or a woman.
But the next second he came back to his senses, glanced at Ize Shan, and whispered, "Yes, I still have some questions."
"You exist like the guardian spirit of the humble king, so you are not a true heroic spirit?"
Arthur asked, "You said your state was influenced by the humble king, so is this state controlled by the humble king?"
Izawa Sugi smiled and asked, "Why do you think I didn't become a Heroic Spirit?"
Arthur was stunned.
Ize Shan's eyes became deep. "Arthur, both you and Vortigern had unfulfilled wishes. He died with hatred for this world, and you were also unwilling to accept the fact that the Round Table was split because of a mess of fate, but I have no regrets."
He lowered his head slightly, smiling, feeling a little melancholy, a little admiration, and a little emotion.
Izawa Sugi had thought about this before, why the legend of King Uther could not be upgraded to a Heroic Spirit. Maybe King Uther's story really only had a few sentences, but Emiya Kiritsugu could become a Heroic Spirit!
Later he figured it out.
Maybe the story of King Uther is too shallow, or maybe the existence of Izawa Sugi is enough to constitute one side of King Uther, but what is more likely is...
"King Uther entrusted his hopes and future to Queen Arthur without regret, and entered death with a peaceful and relaxed mind."
"Do you think that King Uther will descend into the Holy Grail War as a heroic spirit?"
Besides, if it is just a stored message on the record tape of the pan-human history realm, and is constantly summoned to protect humanity, then it would be enough to let Izawa Sugi come forward.
Think about the mess caused by the Earthly Reincarnation Technique, think about the first, second, and fourth generations who were constantly summoned to work as office workers... Even modern magicians summon heroic spirits and use them as familiars.
With Ize Sugi blocking the way, King Uther on the other side will not be disturbed or summoned at all and can enjoy eternal sleep.
"I have met Al before." Ize Shan paused for a moment and said calmly, "She was very regretful and upset about the destruction of Britain. Even though she knew the ending from the beginning, she hoped that her country would decline normally and naturally, not collapse because of such ridiculous reasons."
Arthur's eyes were a little vague.
He, he thought so too...
"I can't ask her that kind of thing. After all, she is a girl."
Ize Shan looked at Arthur.
Arthur complained: "So you urged the king to ask me?"
If you think about it this way, gender differences are still very important!! If you can’t ask your daughter, why do you ask your son? Damn!
Izawa Shan shrugged his shoulders and said, "You defeated him and killed him. With his death, you became the Lord of Britain. You are the legendary victor. I just let him have some fun and give him some psychological comfort. I still have some brotherly love."
Arthur choked.
That's right, he defeated the humble king, unified Britain, and became the knight king. Even though his Knights of the Round Table fell apart because of Guinevere and Lancelot, the humble king would never have the chance to do so again! He was killed by himself!
But, but…
"Why Merlin?!"
Arthur suddenly fell on the table in the Weigong family's living room, as if he had lost all his strength.
"He actually pretended to be Merlin!!!"
He actually recognized the wrong person! He actually got deceived! Oh my God! If Merlin knew about this in the future, he would be doomed!
Ize Shan looked at Arthur, who had lost his color, with a smile and took out the ribbon.
"Look, it's made of Merlin's braided hair. It's a disguise I gave to my brother. It's normal that you were fooled."
Ize Shan wove the ribbon into the buckle on the inside of the tent. The ribbon hung down naturally and fell in front of his white armor. Most of it was blocked by the edge of the tent, and the scattered tassels and amethysts could be vaguely seen.
"Arthur, Merlin is not only your imperial teacher, but also mine."
Ize Shan straightened his clothes and said with a half-smile, "If you are laughed at by Merlin in the future, just say that this is a personal request from the king. He or she won't be angry, at most they will just make fun of you."
The golden hair on Arthur's head stood up again, and he looked at Ize Shan with burning eyes: "Really?"
Ize Shan nodded with a smile: "Really."
Arthur asked again: "Can you get Merlin to let me go to Avalon to rest?"
Izawa Sugi said regretfully: "This requires you to negotiate with Merlin yourself." After a pause, "Or you can use the Holy Grail to open a passage to Avalon."
Arthur was silent for a moment, then smiled brilliantly and said, "What if I open the door and let the humble king in for a stroll?"
Ize Shan gave Arthur a thumbs up and said, "If you succeed, I will help you bear Merlin's revenge."
"That's settled!"
Great, the motivation for this Holy Grail War is here! Get the Holy Grail, open a corner gate for Avalon, and give Merlin the humble king who likes to pretend to be Merlin. Perfect! !
Ize Shan saw what Arthur was thinking and almost laughed out loud, but he still held himself back.
Stay calm, he is King Uther now, he must be calm and elegant!
As if she could tell that the conversation between Izawa and Arthur had come to an end, Illya suddenly asked, "What about you? If you were the guardian spirit of that Pretender, you would still help him, right? After all this talk, are you controlled by him?"
Izawa Sugi thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "I appear in my current form because Vortigern cannot handle Arthur's holy sword. If I leave Arthur, I will indeed change back."
Izawa Sugi returned from the Sea of Void with Oberon as his location, and Oberon used the ritual of the Greater Holy Grail to strengthen the contractual connection, so Izawa Sugi's current power will be affected by Oberon.
Essentially, Izawa Sugi is still a pretender. If he wants to return to normal, he needs to go back to Avalon and make adjustments without distraction.
Illya said coldly: "That's the enemy."
Izawa Sugi didn't take it seriously, "If Arthur hadn't suddenly come to trouble me, Vortigern wouldn't have plotted against Shirou Emiya."
Arthur's expression was a little subtle: "You mean, the humble king is helping you?"
"We are siblings, so of course we should help each other." Ize Shan said nonchalantly, "In fact, Merlin once sent my Arthur to Vortigern to raise, and Vortigern raised him well."
Arthur: “…”
He must go to Chaldea to interview his other self about his feelings!
Izawa Sugi looked at Illya steadily, and then shifted his attention to another thing.
"…Are you really a cyborg?"
Illya leaned back suddenly and subconsciously raised her hands to cover her chest.
Berserker, who was sitting in the courtyard, also stood up suddenly.
Arthur was stunned, not knowing what was going on. "What's wrong?"
Ize Shan said calmly: "You were created by King Uther and Queen Igraine. I created you alone, so I have some understanding of the technology of artificial humans."
"It's not difficult to make a conscious, or blank, android."
Izawa Sugi said nonchalantly something that would piss off a modern magician, "But putting a dragon organ in there requires a normal human lifespan, the ability to release the power of the Star-Forged Holy Sword, and to record a naturally formed yet complex dragon vein factor... This is very difficult."
King Useul died as a result, and Izawa Sugi entered the realm of the Sage of Six Paths.
Before, Izawa Sugi's attention was mostly on the servants, and the distance was also far. He thought that Illya was an artificially created homunculus like Sera.
Now that I have a closer look, that is not the case at all.
If Matou Sakura was artificially transformed into her current appearance by Matou Ruin, then Illya should have been customized to be the form of the Holy Grail from the very beginning.
She is the Holy Grail.
Just like King Uther commissioned King Arthur.
Izawa Sugira looked at Illya with interest.
"Can you tell me what's wrong with you?"
