Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

The knight muttered to himself as he used his exquisite swordsmanship to dismember the skeletal soldier into eight pieces.

The opponent's technique was skillful and swift; he was clearly a seasoned and powerful knight.

"Ah, no, isn't that wrong? It was you who woke me up. Even though the structure clearly can't actively use magic, you still did it anyway. You really care about your master."

The knight looked down at the large scythe in Gray's hand, and said with a hint of helplessness.

[Grey: "Um, who are you?"]

The knight shrugged, his tone suddenly becoming familiar yet sharp.

"Hehehe! You actually asked me who I am? That's too much! We've known each other for a long time, slowpoke Grey!"

Upon hearing this voice, Grey froze.

[Because the all-too-familiar voice didn't come from the Ard she held, but from the knight's mouth.]

Rin Tohsaka: "Ah! Could this guy be Ador?!"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "No, his words just now have already shown that he is not Ador."

"Oh dear, because we slept together for so long, the mixture has become a bit mixed."

The knight raised his hand and slapped his head hard, saying with a hint of helplessness, "It wasn't originally like this, but oh well, there's no need to insist on imitating the original. Accepting change while adapting is more in line with human nature."

[The knight then turned and swung his sword, and another skeletal soldier fell.]

Although he seemed somewhat distracted, he was actually very alert, keeping a close eye on everything around him, and the skeleton soldiers couldn't get close to him at all.

"You seem to be my peer, but you both look so pathetic. Please spare me."

The knight patted his chest lightly, bowed, and said, "In any case, remember the name Kai."

In a daze, Grey seemed to see a smile on the knight's hazy face.

At the same time, he also realized the identity of the knight before him.

[After all, this person's voice was among the thirteen seals she heard when she broke the Holy Lance.]

[The third seat of the Knights of the Round Table, Sir Kael'thas, King Arthur's sworn brother.]

Artoria: "Kay...brother, it really was you..."

Rebellious Knight: "Ah! I knew he looked familiar, it's that guy Kai!"

Lion Jie Li: "It seems you don't get along very well with him."

Rebellious Knight: "That sharp-tongued monster, everyone who sees him gets furious."

Lancelot: "Kay..."

Waver: "So he really is a Heroic Spirit, but why is he like this?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Didn't he say before that he was forcibly summoned by Ador, so his spirit origin is probably not complete?"

Rin Tohsaka: "But how did you do that? You even saw the summoning circle!"

Kenneth: "Looks like there's another mystery now."

With Kai's help, the situation on the field instantly turned around, and the crisis was averted.

However, due to the sheer number of skeleton soldiers, Kai was unable to kill them all, so they couldn't pursue the masked woman and had to retreat back into the tunnel.

Besides the steps they initially descended, the tunnel actually led to many branching paths. Using these paths, they finally managed to shake off the pursuing skeleton soldiers.

"Phew...finally safe."

The Second Prince, panting heavily, stared at the knight whose face was indistinct.

[Kay: "I'm not suited for this kind of street performance with swords and guns. All I care about are the hands used to hug women and the tongues in my mouth. Just being able to clear a path through that pile of depressing skeleton soldiers and escape back to safety should be considered a rare stroke of luck."]

Webber: "Uh, what a dashing knight."

Shizi Jieli: "I have a feeling that he and Lancelot must have a very good relationship."

Rebellious Knight: "Hahaha, you guessed right on that point."

Lancelot: "..."

Artoria: "..."

My king now wishes he could rush into Avalon and tear that bastard to pieces.

Look at him, look what he's done to his sworn brother.

【"..."】

Grey was still somewhat bewildered, not understanding how a Knight of the Round Table had suddenly appeared within the ranks of Yad.

[Second King: "You just said you were Sir Kay, didn't you?"]

[Kay: "Oh, you address me as 'Sir'?"]

[Second King: "That's right, if you really are King Arthur's sworn brother."]

Kai smacked his lips, somewhat dissatisfied, and said, "It's a pity I was the one who came out."

"That being said, it's understandable to feel disappointed after actually encountering such a thing. It's like seeing stars shining in the night sky, only to find that most of them are just rocks when you actually touch them. Although some stars might have enough brilliance to make you feel that the truth is irrelevant, that kind of boring stuff just doesn't suit my taste."

[Second Hokage: "...The Holy Grail grants its summoners modern knowledge. So, for other Heroic Spirits, is knowledge bestowed upon them by the world?"]

[Kay: "Ha! Magicians always seem to have a bunch of useless stories in their heads, no matter when or where. I think you're like an old book, covered in booksickness!"]

[Second Generation: "Perhaps that's right."]

[Kay: "Your deduction is a 30 out of 100 in terms of the answer. I am neither a servant nor a Heroic Spirit. Since I do not come from the Throne of Heroes, the world has no reason to impart knowledge to me. The message just now was knowledge engraved in that miser's sealing Mystic Code."]

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Hmm? Not from the Throne of Heroes!"

Weber: "Does he mean that he's been inside the Holy Lance all along?"

Wife: "Saber, do you know what's going on?"

Artoria: "I'm sorry, when I passed away, Kay was still alive and well."

She died even earlier than Kai, so she knew nothing about what happened afterward.

Hearing the other person's words, Grey's heart tightened, and she stepped forward, saying, "How is Ad! Why isn't he responding to my calls! Is he broken?!"

This was perhaps the first time in her life that she had pressed someone she had just met for answers.

Kai tapped the surface of the scythe with his fist and shook his head, saying, "It's not damaged, it's just temporarily out of service."

Chapter 241: The Exposure of True Nature

[Kay: "I was able to materialize like this only because I used up all the magic power I had accumulated over time; it's kind of a secret technique. Of course, the environment here is also a good factor."]

Waver: "So, you're saying that Ad's slumber was a process of accumulating magic on its own, and that it had anticipated this would happen?"

Shiki Jie Li: "After all, it's the Holy Lance; it might have unknown abilities."

Rebellious Knight: "Hmph, that broken gun..."

[Grey: "Cease operation..."]

How long will this last? A day? A month? A year? Or longer?

However, since Kai didn't explain, it means he didn't know either.

Grey could only force herself to calm down and ask some meaningful questions.

"So, why did you come from inside Yad..."

[Kay: "I think the magicians over there generally understand this question, right?"]

After a long silence, the Second Prince said, "Your personality model was originally you, wasn't it?"

"The personality model referred to here also includes the details of the physical body and equipment. Because personality is by no means solely determined by the mind... However, I don't understand why you can materialize it in this way."

[Kay: "That's roughly how it is."]

[Grey: "Personality Model?"]

"It's that gun you're holding."

[Kay explained, "Strictly speaking, I am the personality model of the Mystic Code used to seal this Holy Lance."]

"This village was the first place where that guy's remains and the Holy Lance were transported. Then, when it came time to seal the Holy Lance, I was chosen as the most suitable personality among my relatives. Because unlike the other foolish knights, I'm not interested in martial arts or mysticism, and I wouldn't do something as stupid as trying to break the seal after it's been sealed."

"Those kinds of people who are unbearable to look at should, if they can sleep, sleep as soundly as possible."

Grey was confused, but the guy Kai was referring to must be King Arthur.

Webber: "So, King Arthur's remains are also in this village!"

Rin Tohsaka: "Another bombshell."

Artoria: "..."

Lancelot: "Was the king's body brought here by Kai...?"

Rebellious Knight: "Could it be that bastard Merlin who sealed the Holy Lance?!"

Lancelot: "Probably not. I don't think Kay would cooperate with that woman Morgan."

Waver: "Then, the one who wants to resurrect King Arthur, isn't it Merlin?"

Lancelot: "No, he wouldn't do such a thing. It would definitely be that woman Morgan who would do something like this."
