In the world of Type-Moon, it all begins with becoming Morgan's husband!

After all, he wasn't a good person to begin with.

If he could actually summon a new "Heroic Spirit," it would be perfect for his original purpose.

The man's vision was now fixed on the figure of that light.

He needs to figure out what's going on.

but--

Ian never expected that things would turn out so unexpectedly.

The light particles gradually dissipated.

The first thing Ian saw was a high ponytail of light silver.

This way of tying her hair up is extremely similar to Artoria's.

Then came those blue eyes—Ian would never forget the feeling of seeing the ocean reflected in those eyes.

That only happens when you make eye contact with Morgan.

In terms of appearance, he does indeed have many similarities with Morgan.

No, it should be said that it's Morgan's face after the signs of age have faded.

However, her brows held a courage more akin to that of Artoria.

Who is this?

Ian's mind started racing.

He searched through all the memories he had acquired for the answer to this question.

A name slowly surfaced in his mind.

Mordred.

Her last child with Morgan.

That's why he has silver hair and blue eyes.

If I think about it this way—

It does indeed fit the concept of "related to Morgan, but not entirely Morgan".

"..."

Ian was at a loss for words.

But that wasn't all that shocked him.

Mordred's hair quickly lost its original silver color and was then covered with a layer of brilliant gold, as if dyed.

The blue pupils also changed little by little during this process, eventually forming a verdant appearance like a sea of ​​trees.

Ian was stunned.

Because in this way, Mordred in front of us looks like a combination of Artoria and Morgan.

Why is this happening?

When a "Heroic Spirit" becomes a "Servant", will such a significant change occur?

That's unlikely, isn't it?!

This is a soul that resides in history.

etc--

"Follower"?

Ian suddenly remembered something.

The simulation battle offers three initial "Servants":

Artoria Pendragon (Saber);

Archer;

Cú Chulainn (Lancer).

Apart from Artoria, the other two have almost no connection with Mordred herself.

This means that he was able to connect with Mordred through Artoria Pendragon (Saber).

But in this process, "she" will inevitably have an impact on Mordred.

Ever since——

Thus, Mordred came into being.

"..."

Having sorted out his thoughts, Ian was momentarily unsure how to approach this conclusion.

He even somewhat hoped that his idea was wrong—but for now, it seemed to perfectly explain all the current problems.

"Senior..."

Having witnessed everything, Mashu was now completely at a loss.

"It seems a new 'Servant' has appeared!"

"That--"

Ian forced himself to calm down.

"Mashu, is there a problem with the simulation battle system?"

Upon hearing this question, the girl quickly began to check.

"Huh?" She was a little surprised.

"There are no error messages at all."

"What about the part that displays the name?" Ian pressed. "Is there a problem with that?"

“It’s still Artoria Pendragon (Saber),” Mash replied.

"...the parts that haven't been written to won't be read."

Ian muttered these words to himself, and then gave Mash another command.

"Namashu, could you please ask Lancer to keep Cu Chulainn on the defensive?"

"Oh, alright!"

As Cú Chulainn (Lancer) sheathed his crimson spear and held it in front of him.

Ian is preparing to take the next step.

Now that Mordred is already here, instead of investigating why she came here, we should examine her actual abilities.

just.

Since Cú Chulainn (Lancer) has "Battle Continuation"—

That would be a perfect target.

However, unlike the "Servant" Artoria, Ian had no idea what Mordred was capable of.

Ultimately, his contact with her was practically nonexistent.

Not to mention that even in the simulation battle system, she is still described by the name Artoria Pendragon (Saber).

If it weren't for the memory brought by the simulation, I probably wouldn't have recognized him by now.

So--

The only option left is to issue a command that leans towards "attack".

Fortunately.

Although there is no data other than the name.

However, Mordred seems to have simply been written into the simulation battle, just like the initial three "Servants".

She will still carry out Ian's orders very strictly.

She conjured a silver longsword.

It has a blade somewhat similar to the Caliburn sword.

However, the two are very different in terms of material – the former is silver, while the latter is gold.

This is quite a bit of good information.

At least for now, we know that Mordred retains the same class as Artoria (Saber).

In terms of swordsmanship.

Ian could clearly sense that she had learned it from Gawain.

Because both of them emphasize a powerful, brick-throwing attack style.

However, in the actual simulation, although Gawain learned all the sword techniques, he was still defeated by himself time and time again because of this method.

After all, it has a fatal weakness.

Hmm... indeed, it all matches the content in the simulated memory.

but--

Just as Ian was trying to learn more about Mordred, Mash tugged at his hand.

"senior."

"what happened?"

"The simulation battle is almost over."

"this?"

Ian had almost forgotten about it—when he and Mash arrived, the simulation battle only had one hour left to run.

"Mash, isn't it possible to extend it a little?"
