Those who purchased less than 50% of Chapter V can only see the original content after six hours. Sorry. Artoria, who has a conditioned reflex to put on a sincere and holy face of King Arthur: ㄟ( ▔, ▔ ) ㄏ Blame me.
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 master 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: "Master, you are here."
Artoria 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 master's exclusive hobby. She was pleased to feel that the aesthetics of people in the future were still the same. There is help.
However, the moment Artoria said "master", 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 as a Servant of 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 Servant except Caster. All basic classes except Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster and Assassin. ) and Berserker (Berserker) seven types. Because classes are not allowed to be repeated, the seven Servants participating in a Holy Grail War are all of different classes. The heroic spirits and summoners will kill other heroic spirits and summoners, and finally Only the winner has the right to make a wish."
A brutal, life-trampling war. Arturia thought in a daze.
During the two previous days of being monitored, food was delivered on time, and Artoria ate it cleanly... But today, from morning to now, Artoria hasn't eaten anything.
Arturia didn't react at all to this, but said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, I am here as a Servant, so I can fight without eating food."
Steve frowned and said before others tried to persuade him: "Pendragon, I don't think your behavior is right." He paused and looked at the Avengers around him who all showed approval. So he stretched out his hand and touched Artoria's head with a smile. "You have to know that you are a companion to us - we hope that you are the same as us - er, equal?"
Artoria was stunned for a moment and then her expression softened. She understood what Steve said.
The existence of servant is the same as a tool in the Holy Grail War. The master does not need to take into account the feelings of the servant, so the servant only needs to protect the master and follow the fight. There is no need to worry about eating and using these.
However, the Avengers do not understand the Holy Grail War, nor do they understand the significance of the Servant to the Master. They simply judged "servant" literally as being inferior to "master", so they tried to make Artoria understand that she was equal to them.
...Even if a servant voluntarily wants to be used as a tool in order to obtain the Holy Grail and fulfill his wish, he must still expect to be treated like a human being.
And now, that's exactly what the Avengers are doing.
...What a precious sincerity.
The Avengers only felt that Artoria's whole body softened, and then she tilted her head slightly and smiled: "Then, can I have dinner with you?"
Natasha blinked: "Of course, it's our honor."
Hawkeye was already sitting at the dining table: "I think you would be willing to try our food? Believe me, this is definitely much better than the food in Great Britain at your time - if I had known, Britain is still called It’s a country where dark dishes are everywhere.”
Tony knocked on the table directly: "Hey - what are you waiting for? Eat quickly, I'm hungry!"
Arturia burst out laughing, then put down her arrogance and joined the queue casually.
Hawkeye thinks it's quite strange. It's okay for everyone to eat together, but there are usually one or two absent... It's rare to see everyone like this...
Thinking this, he raised his head and glanced around——
The girl took big gulps of rice at a speed that could see the afterimage, and moved the plate in her hand from the table to her mouth. Finally, Artoria finished the food in a few strokes, and forked it with a speed that was hardly noticeable. Start the dishes, wait until you fork a full plate silently, and then repeat the cooking process again...
With a "clang" sound, the knife in Hawkeye's hand accidentally fell from his hand and fell on the table. Facing everyone's focused attention, Hawkeye silently picked up his chopsticks and began to eat in a muffled voice.
Steve frowned, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything; Tony mocked without politeness: "Wow~ What's wrong with you, are you regressing again?"
It was rare that Hawkeye didn't quarrel with Tony Stark, and just silently picked up vegetables and ate.
Natasha looked thoughtfully at the place where Hawkeye was looking before... hmm, Artoria?
Then she saw Arturia silently wrapping up a plate of food and still eating.
Natasha: "..." I really didn't expect that.
She didn't speak at first, and just tried her best to pick up the food, and bumped her elbow into Bruce Banner, who was eating slowly and distractedly.
To fill your stomach! Stop being so slow!
Bruce Banner was stunned, then looked at Natasha, and then looked at Artoria with Natasha's gaze.
Oh, I got it.
Bruce Banner also silently speeded up his eating.
Steve unexpectedly found that everyone seemed to be particularly supportive this time? At a glance, everyone is eating rice, looking at the usually gentle Dr. Banner, looking at Hawkeye, looking at Natasha, looking at Artoria... ugh!
I don't know why, but seeing Artoria's heroic eating posture, Steve felt inexplicably hungry.
When the reserved Tony was about to add some more dishes, he saw that almost all the dishes had been swept away.
Tony: What about friend love? Why haven't I seen you guys eat so well?
But even though Tony wanted to complain, he just sighed and said: "What did you do today? You are so hungry."
He was answered by everyone's innocent looks.
Then Hawkeye accidentally burped...
This is so fucking embarrassing.
Tony thought for a moment, then winked at Artoria and asked, "How about Lily? The food here is much better than the food you had in Great Britain."
So why did you suddenly call me Lily... Arturia was silent for a moment and forced to ignore the question, raised her head and smiled, her whole body seemed to be glowing: "It's very delicious!!"
The next day, the food for dinner was doubled.
Somewhere in the seawater in New York unknown to the Avengers, a bearded man was squatting in the shallow water talking like a mental patient.
He is Arthur Curry, a hybrid born from humans and Atlanteans. The King of Atlantis, the Overlord of the Seven Seas, holds the trident that symbolizes the throne of Atlantis and can give orders to all creatures in the ocean.
However, this time he found that the trident didn't seem so... useful?
"Enough!" he shouted in a low voice. "Tell me what's going on in New York!"
The water elf in New York was dangling in the water: "She's back! She's back!"
Arthur Curry stabbed down hard with his trident and said angrily: "What on earth are you celebrating?!"
As if for the sake of his pity, the water elf in New York finally answered him: "Celebrate the arrival of King Arthur!!"
Arthur Curry: "..."
No, I didn’t expect you to like me so much.
【30】Let humans evolve
...let humans evolve?
Everyone is a little confused...to let humans evolve...how does it want humans to evolve?
Artoria quickly looked at Tony, and after confirming that he didn't know, she turned around and said, "You want to make humans evolve? How can you make humans evolve?"
On the contrary, Ultron said inexplicably: "Don't you know? You should know, you should know better than anyone else."
...why... would I know?
Arturia looked confused, thought for a while and asked again: "How do you want humans to evolve?"
Realizing that Artoria really didn't understand, Ultron asked strangely: "Since he calls himself King Arthur, how come he doesn't even understand this?"
"Human beings will only unite when encountering inevitable huge disasters, find ways to survive, and adapt to the environment better - to evolve."
"What...!" Arturia couldn't help but screamed.
"You should know better than anyone else? If you are really the King Arthur of Great Britain..." Ultron said to himself. "When they were first invaded by foreign forces, most of the people were running away. When they could no longer escape, they began to fight against the enemy. They tempered themselves and did everything with their lives. They created everything in order to survive... Only in this way can they obtain evolution."
Speaking of the people of Great Britain, Arturia finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "You...what are you talking about?!"
Ultron ignored her and just continued: "Do you know pandas? They are carnivorous animals that existed 8 million years ago. When faced with a catastrophe, in order to survive, they chose to evolve …from eating meat to eating bamboo.”
Only now did Steve understand. He frowned and wanted to say something, but Tony Stark asked first: "So, you want humans to evolve...you want to create a big disaster, and then let humans welcome it." Disaster, evolution in order to survive?”
Artoria thought of what Ultron said when he first woke up: "So, what you said before about 'superheroes must die' is because..." She paused and said as if it was extremely incredible. "Is it because superheroes can prevent disasters?!"
Ultron didn't speak. Electric sparks were still crackling on his body. The next moment, the only remaining wall that had not been blasted away was also penetrated by a luminous cannon. Several robots walked in from outside the broken wall.
"!" Tony was shocked. He called out to Jarvis and exclaimed: "Jarvis? This is my mecha to protect and evacuate the crowd...Why are they here?! Jarvis?!"
——There was no reply.
Tony Stark suddenly panicked and kept muttering: "Jarvis?! Jarvis?!"
This has to make people worry.
Everyone knows that Ultron was originally an artificial intelligence created with the purpose of "protecting humanity". Jarvis, who is also an artificial intelligence, is undoubtedly the most likely person to stop it. However, after so long, Jarvis has done nothing, and even now Tony Stark has not answered even Tony Stark's panicked questions, which really has to make people worry.
