Although Chu Xuan's combat plan seems ordinary, it includes tricks such as bait, chain, fusion, and long distance, and near attack. It is a great trick, but in the end it is not lost, so it is very consistent, so it is very suitable for Artoria's appetite.

As an excellent commander, Artoria did not reject the use of strategy, but the word "despicable" was absolutely unacceptable, because there are many things in this world that are more important than victory and life - that is morality and justice.

Artoria thought carefully and believed that this basic combat plan was quite mature and persistent, and had many back-ups. In the situation of the enemy and us, it should be the best way to deal with it. She nodded with satisfaction and initially recognized Chu Xuan's status as a "military advisor":

"I couldn't think of a better solution than this. It would be my luck to be able to fight side by side with a master like Chu Xuan.

If I had listened to Merlin carefully, maybe I wouldn't have…”

Artoria accidentally mentioned Merlin again, but when she was halfway through her feelings, she realized something was wrong with her and immediately stopped talking.

"If there is no such thing as this world, everything is inevitable by chance.

Perhaps in a parallel world, you listen to Merlin's words more, but because of your knowledge, experience and personality, there will be no changes in your behavior and the judgment you make about something-at least there will be no changes in your own personality.

The only thing that can be completely changed is some real accidents, but in fact, most accidents are also composed of the necessity of others, so even if you do everything again, your destiny, Merlin's destiny, the destiny of the Knights of the Round Table, and the destiny of your country. There will be basically no change.

You can think that this is the limit of your ability, you can think that this is your destiny, you can think that this is the limitation of the times and the destiny of everyone.

——Unless you have spent your whole life and returned to your childhood with memories, you can really change something.”

Chu Xuan pushed down the reflective glasses expressionlessly, and said to Artoria as if he was pointing out.

After hearing Chu Xuan's words, Artoria showed a look of embarrassment and shame. She just gave a casual expression of emotion, but was criticized by Chu Xuan to be worthless. This is really an unpleasant thing.

Although Chu Xuan was right at all... No, it was because Chu Xuan was right at all that made her even more angry!

Seeing Artoria's face a little unhesitant, the kind Alicefil quickly stood up and acted as an atmosphere adjustment machine between Chu Xuan and Artoria. Although these two people are very compatible in terms of personality and habits, there will always be some bumps and bumps when they are together.

"Ah... I went back to my childhood with memories. This could probably be achieved only by the power of the Holy Grail.

By the way, saber, the reason why you can be summoned to participate in the Holy Grail War is that you have a certain wish that the Holy Grail needs to be fulfilled. Could it be that it is to change your... past?"

Alice Fill probably wanted to say the word "tragedy" in the end, but considering the mood of the parties involved, it changed to a more vague statement.

Artoria's face was slightly better. She was silent for a while, as if she was considering whether to express her wishes to Chu Xuan and Alice Fier.

However, as a sex rvant, I told the master that he wanted to use the wish to realize it was a matter of course, so Artoria hesitated for a few minutes. After being mentally prepared, she finally spoke:

"Go back to the past... I do have a similar wish, but it's not to change my past.

If I can obtain the Holy Grail, I hope the Sword in the Stone can re-select the king."

“Reselect?”

Artoria's wish made Alicefil stunned. After thinking for a while, she asked again:

"You mean... to make other people king?"

"That's right."

Since she had already said it, Artoria seemed to have opened her heart a little more. She showed a little self-deprecating expression on her face, and she replied calmly:

"Just Chu Xuan said, even if I am asked to start over from the moment I pulled out the sword in the stone, as long as I don't have any memories of the future, no matter whether it is repeated a hundred times or a thousand times, I will still make the same choice.

This is the limit of my ability. I can only lead the country to destruction. If the person chosen by Shizhongjian was not me, maybe the situation would be very different."

Although Artoria's expression and tone were calm, Alicefil could still feel what a desperate heart was sinking into the deepest part of this stagnant water.

If it weren't for the complete loss of confidence in himself or even despair, Artoria would never have said such a negative, and she would not have looked like a "hero" at all.

"How could it be...as long as you..."

"Your ruling ability is indeed very problematic. You can only conquer the country, but you are not the one who can defend the country."

Alicefil was about to cheer Artoria up, but was interrupted by Chu Xuan's harsh words.

However, although Chu Xuan's truth was very unpleasant, Artoria was not angry anymore, but silently admitted Chu Xuan's evaluation of herself - just like a dead ancient well.

"But, have you ever wondered why Shizhongjian chose you? Did you really choose Shizhongjian wrong?"

At this time, Chu Xuan, who had been belittling her, suddenly raised this question again, which surprised Artoria.

"This is because... the sword in the stone... chose the wrong choice."

Artoria hesitated for a long time and finally said that, but this time she herself was not satisfied with this unfounded answer.

However, she was not good at considering this kind of "philosophical" issue. In the past, this was all Merlin's "scope of work". She just needed to choose to adopt or reject Merlin's suggestions.

——By the way, if she was good at considering this "philosophical" issue, she probably wouldn't have ended up like this.

"Although I don't know the mechanism of the Stone Sword to choose the king, but I can assume it:

The first hypothesis is that the sword in the stone is chosen based on the ‘result’, which can foresee the fate of the person who draws the sword after he becomes the king, his personal, or the entire country.

That is to say, you who draw out the sword in the stone is already the king who can lead this country to the best future.

However, there will be a problem, that is, the person who can draw the sword in the stone may not be qualified to draw the sword; or the king chosen by the sword in the stone is only the person who can lead the country to the best future among the group of people who are qualified to draw the sword.

——If the search range of the Sword in the Stone is the entire country or even the entire earth, then the person who is most suitable to be a king may not even be in your country. He will never be able to run to your country to draw the sword in his life, and even if he comes, you may not let him get close to the Sword in the Stone.

The second hypothesis is that the sword in the stone is chosen based on the "ability". All abilities of the person who draws the sword must meet the minimum requirements of the sword in the stone.

The choice of the king actually depends on the order. Among all those who can be recognized by the sword in the stone, the first person who draws the sword directly becomes the king. Even if the person behind is more capable than the one who becomes the king, he has lost the opportunity.

Since you are the last person to try to draw a sword, you can be sure that your ability is the highest among all those who draw a sword... or the most in line with the requirements of the sword in the stone.

The third hypothesis is that the sword in the stone only responds to specific bloodlines or abilities - such as the Red Dragon Bloodline of the Pandragorn family.

In this way, only the descendants of the Pandragon family can become kings. Choosing the King's Sword is actually just a scam in order to make the Pandragon family always "legally" in order to keep the Pandragon family in dominance.

Among these three assumptions, no matter which one is, it will definitely lead to the Sword of Stone to choose you to become the king, so there is no error in choosing Sword of Stone.

——If the search range of the sword in the stone is limited, then as long as you are not within the search range of the sword in the stone, no matter which assumption it works, the king it chooses cannot be you.

But this is not because there is a mistake in choosing the sword in the stone. Within the range of choices, its choice is correct."

Chu Xuan used words Artoria could understand to speculate the working principle of the Stone Sword, but after listening to Chu Xuan's analysis, Artoria became even more confused. She raised her hand and wiped the sweat beads on her forehead, and asked stammeringly:

"But...what if the sword in the stone was chosen the wrong one?"

"That means that this sword does not play its role in 'choosing a king', or that it chooses only the person who is destined to be the king, and does not care whether the king it chooses has the ability to govern the country well."

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly and continued to analyze without thinking.

"You have made a mistake by using such a sword to choose a king - or, to say, this is the limitation of the times.

If the person who is most suitable to be a king is a civilian, or even a pariah, slave, would you allow him to become a king?

No, you will not even allow him to stand among you and accept the choice of the sword in the stone with you.
