Skadi, returning to infinity

Looking down and stroking Eileen's mane, Artoria's tone became dejected.

Even knowing that, I still want to try...

"after all......

Skadi interrupted her when she heard her say that.

“Saber, I’ve told you about Lancelot being the Black Knight, haven’t I?”

When she asked this question, Artoria looked up at her and nodded gently: "I know."

She knew about this during the Type-Moon era, which is why she kept her distance from the Black Knight.

After all, she didn't know how to face the Black Knight, especially after the Black Knight also became Skadi's Heroic Spirit.

Rather than becoming her enemy and putting Skadi in a difficult position, it's better to pretend you don't know anything.

Although this was not an easy or pleasant thing for her.

Because she harbored even more resentment about what had happened in the past than Lancelot.

But at this point, it's difficult to let go of some things, even if you don't want to.

Moreover, doing this is a good thing not only for herself but also for Skadi.

Skadi raised an eyebrow at Artoria's calmness and then smiled.

"And you know why Lancelot participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War, right?"

Her question wasn't meant to embarrass Artoria, since she was already somewhat aware of that.

"I know."

Artoria hesitated for a moment on the question, but still answered.

“Lancelot... if we put that aside, he would be a perfect knight.”

"After all, he is the leader of the twelve Knights of the Round Table, and can be said to be the strongest being in Great Britain besides you, Artoria."

"His loyalty and his strength are one of the reasons why you, Artoria, have been able to overcome so many obstacles so smoothly."

"Plus, his personality is also very good. When it comes to being likable, he surpasses even you, the taciturn, seemingly inhuman king, in fact..."

It's something I can't understand.

"His mistake was that he shouldn't have been involved with Guinevere, and he shouldn't have fallen in love with someone he shouldn't have."

"In the end, this wrong path turned him into an unfaithful and unjust person."

"No matter how later generations embellish it, what's done is done, and what's wrong is wrong. It was the last and greatest stain on his knightly career."

point."

Skadi commented on Lancelot, praising him highly but also clearly aware of the mistakes he had made.

"The perfect knight from France."

"Yet in the end, he was disloyal to his monarch..."

"Isn't it ironic?"

Skadi saw that Artoria didn't speak, and continued talking to herself.

"The greatest principle of a knight should be loyalty to his lords, and everything else should come second."

"However, among the most well-known legendary knights in Europe, very few could accomplish such a feat."

"Artoria, do you think that was your mistake?"

When Skadi saw that she still didn't speak, she asked again.

"Everything I do is for my country and my people."

"I may have many shortcomings and flaws, but I have never deviated from this goal."

"If, in the process of achieving this goal, some problems arise that are beyond my control, leading to unpredictable outcomes, then..."

"Then I don't think what I did was wrong."

Artoria may doubt herself, but she never doubts her goals and ideals.

Because she knew it was the right thing to do, she just hadn't done it well.

Seeing her like this, Skadi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she hadn't been too upset, which was good.

"So, you don't need to avoid her anymore. You're right, and he's wrong."

"Why should you avoid something that's wrong when it's right? If it dares to attack you, just beat it up."

After saying this, Skadi couldn't help but chuckle to herself, clearly very happy.

Seeing her smiling so happily, Artoria suddenly frowned and asked the only question she had left.

"So... why was Lancelot so calm after meeting Master?"

"Because he mistook me for your queen, Guinevere."

This was originally a very awkward answer, at least given the current status of the two people.

But Skadi cleverly said it in a light, almost joking tone.

Upon hearing this, Artoria first widened her eyes, then lowered her head.

Guinevere...

How could she not know who this was?

She remembered Guinevere's appearance very clearly.

She does resemble Skadi somewhat, but she's definitely not like her.

Hearing her say this at this moment, and that even the Black Knight mistook her for Guinevere, made Artoria feel both embarrassed and somewhat awkward.

If Skadi is "Guinevere," then her relationship with Skadi is...

"Don't overthink it. Lancelot will mistake me for Guinevere mainly because of my abilities."

Skadi didn't shy away from telling her about the special abilities associated with the title "Peerless Beauty".

"So Lancelot mistook Master for Guinevere because of this ability, is that right?"

Artoria breathed a slight sigh of relief; her fears were indeed true.

If that were really the case, she wouldn't know how to face Skadi.

"That's right, I've never been to your era, so how could I possibly be Guinevere?"

Skadi was somewhat guilty when she said that.

She actually went to Artoria's time, and she really did go.

Through the roots of Type-Moon, we travel to her era and experience a long and complex story.

Moreover, the character she was impersonating was "Guinevere," except that Skadi had already guessed something at that time, so she modified her appearance.

I made some changes to make it the same as Guinevere in Artoria's memories.

Although she went there, she couldn't change that history.

Because it has already happened, it has affected the modern history of Type-Moon, and it cannot be changed.

However, she projected herself onto Guinevere, which affected those who "knew" her.

This is why the Black Knight later mistook her for "Guinevere".

It wasn't just the title of "peerless beauty" that had an effect; it "corrected" Lancelot's perception of Guinevere.

If Lancelot weren't a Berserker, he wouldn't have had this memory correction.

Unfortunately, he is a Berserker, so he can only bear this part of the modified memories.

Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing is unclear, but at least for Skadi right now, it's important to distance herself from "Guinevere".

of.

Because she is who she is, not someone or anyone from my memory.

"I have a feeling that you're hiding something from us, Master."

Medea listened to their conversation from the side. Because she had been observing Skadi the whole time, she was somewhat skeptical of what Skadi was saying.

"You're overthinking it, absolutely not."

Even if such a thing exists, it should never be spoken of.

"Yeah?"

Looking at her suspiciously, Medea had several thoughts running through her mind, but in the end she buried them deep inside.

In any case, it's already great that Skadi can say these things to them now.

"Hmm? Wei Yanwu has reconnected the communication. Let me check the situation."

To avoid their questions, Skadi looked at the screen.

Just then, Wei Yanwu called, and she answered the call.

"Doctor, we've already spoken with the people in Da Yan. They've asked you to show them the specific appearance of the aircraft, and they'll notify the cities along its route."

The military camp allowed you to enter.

It was still Lady Wenyue who spoke; Wei Yanwu was probably dealing with other matters and was not present.

Although she was curious about what had happened to Wei Yanwu, it was his private matter, and as long as it didn't involve what she had done, she didn't want to pry.

"What exactly does the aircraft look like...?"

That's right.

After Xiao Ai took a picture of them riding on the rainbow unicorn, I looked at it.

There are nine photos in total, all of them from the side or front. Some are of them alone, and some are of them together.

The photos captured the three unicorns from the front, side, top, and bottom—everything they looked like.

This was arguably the most professional filming ever done, and even Skadi couldn't help but praise it.

"Xiao Ai is really a professional."
