When Natasha and Pepper returned to Avengers Tower dragging a pile of clothes bags, they happened to see Arturia in a white skirt and armor sitting upright on the sofa.
The girl was like a delicate lily, with a clean aura about her body. She was naturally calm even though she was in an unknown place. When she and Natasha looked at each other intensely, Natasha found that there was no panic in her eyes... This is interesting, Natasha thought.
Little Pepper on the other side obviously didn't distinguish that much. She saw at a glance that the clothes bag on the table next to the girl happened to be the label of the store where Stark often went to customize clothes for his female companions. She looked at it again... very good , blond and blue-eyed, she is definitely another girl dated by her cheating boss... Oh my god, did he actually bring all his female companions to Avengers Tower? !
Artoria didn't expect that her R would have such a habit. She simply thought of the tin can that just led her in and said "this is my place", so she put down her guard and bowed her head politely reflexively. Smiling lightly: "Hello, beautiful ladies, I'm glad to meet you. I'm -" She suddenly realized that she didn't know R's name at all, and continued with a little guilt. "I am the person brought by the master of this place...I am Artoria Pendragon."
"..." Little Pepper was dazzled by Artoria's sincere eyes and face. After a few seconds of silence, her anger level increased by another point: Look at this sincere eyes! Look at that clean smell! She must have been deceived by her boss! Oh my god, my boss’s limit is getting lower and lower! Even a beautiful girl as purple as a lily was fooled! I didn't expect you to be Stark!
Artoria, who had a conditioned reflex to put on a sincere and holy face as King Arthur: ㄟ(▔,▔)ㄏIt’s my fault.
After Tony Stark finished changing his armor and programming, he complained to Jarvis and came to the lobby, where he saw Pepper Natasha and the unknown girl he summoned sitting side by side watching a TV series.
"...Wait," Tony Stark looked confused. "Aren't they suspicious? Suddenly a stranger entered the Avengers Tower?!" He was still expecting Natasha to come up with something.
"Yes sir," Jarvis answered calmly. "Their response was calm and Miss Pendragon was very polite."
Pendragon? It sounded familiar...Tony blinked and realized that it was the last name of the girl he had summoned.
Artoria felt the approach of the magic source when Tony walked downstairs. This R, who knew nothing about the situation that summoned her, unexpectedly had a lot of magic power, but this magic power was like stagnant water. There is no reaction at all when she extracts magic power. She turned her head and stood up, greeting Tony gently: "R, you're here."
Arturia carefully looked at Tony from head to toe, and recalled the costumes of Pepper and Natasha. She confirmed that turning herself into a tin can seemed to be her exclusive hobby. She was pleased to feel that the aesthetics of people in the future would still be the same. There is help.
However, the moment Artoria said "r", Pepper glared at Tony as if he were a pervert. Tony even felt that he could hear what Pepper was saying - "I didn't expect you to be such a star." gram!"
...Wait, why?
But there are obviously more important things now... Tony walked towards the girls, grabbed a bottle of wine and a glass, and looked at Artoria with interest: "Do you recognize me? Why? I'm obviously wearing clothes The armor goes inside."
As expected, he was a layman... Artoria lit a candle for herself in her heart, but the smile on her face remained unchanged: "It's magic power." She explained. "My existence depends on your magic, because I feel the magic of the same source approaching... and it belongs to you."
"..." It always felt like she was deliberately turning a corner when she spoke to tease people.
But Natasha quickly asked: "Magic power? Tony Stark has magic power?!"
I don’t know much about these superheroes. I know everything about magic from novels and movies. Pepper: "Huh? Tony has magic? Can he use magic?"
Artoria nodded: "Yes, generally speaking, people with magic can use magic... Of course, in this era, it seems that the once powerful magic can no longer be used. They call these magics now magic."
"Magic?" Tony looked a little disgusted.
Artoria pretended not to see it at all and continued to explain with gestures: "Yes, although it is called magic, it is completely different from what you think of magic. For example, 'projection magic' is to use magic to project weapons , like swords, and 'jewel magic' is to infuse magic power into gems. You can turn gems into flowers, and you can also throw them to make them explode."
"Projection... Jarvis!" Tony waved his hand, and an image of a sword immediately appeared in the kitchen next to him, which could even be zoomed in and out. "so?"
"...No," Artoria shook her head. "The projection magic I'm talking about means that the projected sword can actually be held in your hand and used or even hurt."
Only then did Tony finally become interested: "Wow, that sounds good—how to do it?"
Artoria shook her head and said with an upright face: "I don't know."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Trying to swallow the words "Are you talking nonsense?", Tony felt that if it weren't for the fact that he saw the appearance of the girl's fantasy with his own eyes, he would have felt that the other party was cheating on him. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Then how do you know this?"
Artoria smiled and tilted her head: "That is the knowledge given to me by the Holy Grail, which comes from this world."
"...Holy Grail?" Tony and Natasha looked at each other quickly, and then Tony asked: "What is that?"
Unexpectedly, Artoria was not the first to reply.
"The Holy Grail is a treasure that can produce miracles in Christian legends. It is said that if you drink the water contained in it, you can live forever or be resurrected from the dead. In the legend of King Arthur, it symbolizes royal power, and there is also a corresponding Holy Grail knight."
Natasha keenly noticed that the girl's eyes were dazed for a moment when she heard the last sentence.
"——Yes," Artoria answered immediately. "However, the Holy Grail I am talking about is a miraculous object created by magic, which can achieve impossible things. And every sixty years, those who have a strong wish to be realized will be selected by the Holy Grail to participate in the Holy Grail War. , using holy relics or phase summons to summon heroes from ancient times to fight together."
"Among them, the heroic spirit determines the suitable class according to its characteristics, and is then summoned to the corresponding class. The class suitable for me is only saber, and Hercules, who is proficient in all weapons in the legend, can become a person except r All basic classes. The classes are basically divided into sword knight (saber), spear knight (r), bow knight (archer), rider (rider), magician (r), and assassin (assassin). There are seven types of berserkers and berserkers. Because classes are not allowed to be repeated, all seven participating in a Holy Grail War are of different classes. Heroic spirits and summoners will kill other heroic spirits and summoners, and the final winner will be Only then do you have the qualifications to make a wish.”
A brutal, life-trampling war. Arturia thought in a daze.
