Are All Ancient Britons Blind?

The Light Screen image has begun once again!

In an instant, official agencies all across the globe sprang into action.

Having learned from yesterday's experience, every official agency with even a shred of power was well-prepared; all manner of detection instruments, high-definition cameras, and various so-called experts and professors had been assembled.

Although the Light Screen image appeared quite suddenly this time, the well-prepared official agencies acted immediately.

In fact, beyond the official agencies, many powerful corporations, large conglomerates, and prominent families were also prepared, taking identical actions in the face of this sudden appearance of the Light Screen.

Walking down the street, Su Yun munched on a cookie made by Butterfly Kanae, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. He found a spot to sit down, joining everyone else in enjoying his own creation.

As for school or other such matters, there would surely be many people late today, so there was no need to rush at all.

Soon, the Light Screen image began, and a line of text emerged.

[Holy Grail War: Day One.]

In the Light Screen image, an international flight landed at Fuyuki Airport.

A silver-haired beauty in a white coat and a "handsome youth" in a black suit stepped off the plane.

These two were none other than the woman named Irisviel and the existence known as Saber, suspected to be King Arthur, both of whom had appeared in the Light Screen image yesterday.

Although the information revealed yesterday was limited because the Light Screen image was too short to record much content, this world has never lacked clever people. Thus, many had long since deduced important intelligence from those few scattered words.

Heroic Spirits can be referenced against the Valhalla of Norse mythology; deceased heroes, kings, and powerful warriors are brought into Valhalla by legendary Valkyries, ascending from then on into immortal Heroic Spirits.

Of course, the situation in the Light Screen image is likely not exactly the same. After they manifest as Heroic Spirits, they enter a place called the Throne of Heroes. It is somewhat similar to Valhalla, but it is certainly different; after all, Valhalla is limited to Norse mythology, while the Throne of Heroes seems to encompass the entire world.

Therefore, following this line of reasoning and based on the content exposed by the image, the possibility that the Maiden Knight known as Saber is King Arthur holds up.

It is just that this result is too shocking, completely subverting history and common knowledge, making it hard to believe. After all, according to the records of the Pendragon Family, the direct bloodline of King Arthur, King Arthur was a man.

If King Arthur were a woman, wouldn't that mean the Pendragon Family is not the true bloodline of King Arthur?

This is a major event that subverts orthodoxy.

Therefore, although everyone had guessed it, no one spread it casually. After all, in this world where Mystery Calamity sweeps across the globe, every nation is like the world during the Cold War, shivering under the pressure of the Soviet Union and huddling together for warmth; even if they have petty, devious thoughts, they must suppress them.

At the very least, before the Mystery Calamity is resolved, the traditional human talent for infighting can still be kept in check.

For now, it is better to continue watching the Light Screen—in fact, several major powers share intelligence regarding Mystery.

The intelligence that the Songstress attacked the Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Office last night and was then slain by Artoria, who manifested as the Maiden Knight, has already been shared among the high-ranking officials of the five major powers.

Of course, it is not that the Flame Kingdom is truly so selfless; it is mainly because Artoria's identity is very sensitive. She is a member of the Britain royal family and, to the Flame Kingdom, represents a friendly nation.

Even if such a person displays extraordinary power, Yingzhou cannot detain her; they must respect her wishes.

Since that is the case, it is better to share the intelligence openly according to the agreement, which also demonstrates the magnanimity of the Flame Kingdom as a major power.

Now, Artoria already possesses the identity of a suspected reincarnation of King Arthur. After all, the cameras last night captured the situation when King Arthur appeared, and those cameras also had audio recording capabilities, so the words spoken were also recorded.

"I ask you, are you my reincarnation?"

This sentence has already been memorized by everyone who has watched the video.

Many questions have now arisen, but at the same time, it has stirred the emotions of everyone. In the face of Mystery, humanity is no longer unilaterally enduring; they can truly fight back and kill powerful Mystery.

This is an incredibly important matter!

In the Light Screen image, Irisviel and the Maiden Knight Saber, having walked out of the airport, boarded a taxi.

Along the way, Irisviel was like a little girl out for the first time, looking at everything on the street with curiosity and great joy, occasionally letting out "Ooh" sounds of wonder.

This appearance was truly adorable, giving many of the viewers watching the image a feeling of warmth, and their favorability toward Irisviel continued to rise.

As for Saber, she remained calm throughout, seemingly unimpressed by these modern sights.

After the two got out of the car, Irisviel curiously asked, "Saber, you don't seem surprised by these things from the outside world. You must be from ancient times, right? Why is that?"

Upon hearing this, Saber calmly replied, "My lady, although I am from ancient times, when I responded to the summons of the Holy Grail and descended into the world in the body of a Servant, the Holy Grail instilled modern social knowledge and common sense into me, including modern languages and local scripts."

"This is shared by all Servants participating in the Holy Grail War, so although I have never seen them, my understanding of modern society is sufficient."

"So that's how it is... that feels really amazing." Irisviel's expression cleared, followed by a look of wonder.

In fact, the people watching the image were also full of wonder. This ability to directly instill knowledge is practically cheating. If humans in modern society mastered this technology, they could mass-produce scientists, raise educational efficiency by N levels, and directly trigger a super technological explosion in the development of human civilization.

Perhaps, by then, so-called Mystery could also be easily resolved.

Unfortunately, these are magical means, and the principles are completely unknown; otherwise, they would definitely find a way to get their hands on it.

In the image, Irisviel and Saber strolled through the streets, and the time in the image was also revealed.

1994!

Fuyuki City in 1994.

However, just as the conclusion reached yesterday suggested, no Holy Grail War occurred in Fuyuki City at that time, and there were not even any related traces.

In fact, even the architecture was somewhat different.

After it was revealed yesterday that the location of the Holy Grail War was Fuyuki City, official agencies from various countries immediately pulled out all relevant data from the past few decades in Fuyuki City to compare with the scenes that appeared in the image.

Today was merely a matter of verifying the intelligence gathered yesterday.

The power of the state apparatus in motion operates with an efficiency far beyond what the public can imagine.

Because of this, the Fuyuki City that appeared in the Light Screen—so similar yet subtly different—left everyone with a burning question: why did the Fuyuki City in the footage differ from the one in the real world?

Was the footage fake? Or was it an event that occurred in a parallel world?

Or perhaps...

Just as the Light Screen footage stated at the very beginning yesterday, this was a modified and forgotten history. With everyone kept in the dark, relevant records had been erased, triggering a butterfly effect that caused the world to diverge from the events recorded in the Light Screen.

If it were the latter, it would be truly terrifying, for it would mean that certain individuals or factions possessed the horrific power to alter the world itself. This completely transcended human imagination, proving even more frightening than the Mystery Calamity.

Because to alter the world meant that those who wielded such power could erase countless people without anyone ever knowing; the disaster level of such an act would surpass even the Mystery!

At the very least, even when the most terrifying Level 7 Mystery struck, even if humanity were to die or be destroyed, they would still know how they met their end—unlike the third hypothesis, where one would have no idea what had transpired.

As time passed in the Light Screen, Irisviel and Saber arrived at the seaside, and the time in the footage shifted to night.

Under the bright moonlight, Irisviel happily kicked off her shoes and socks, revealing her fair, long legs. She stood by the shore, playing with the gentle tide, letting out joyful laughter as she splashed through the water, creating crisp, rhythmic sounds.

Her childlike innocence and those beautiful, long legs captured the hearts of countless viewers; the world's many perverts were all wearing expressions of pure delight.

After a while, Irisviel stopped and said softly, "Being accompanied by a [gentleman] while walking through a strange city—today has truly been a joy, Saber."

Upon hearing this, Saber smiled. "Are you satisfied with me as your [gentleman]?"

Irisviel immediately turned to look at Saber, clasping her hands behind her back and offering a cute, beautiful smile. "Impeccable. Today, Saber is the best knight ever!"

Hearing this, Saber bowed elegantly. "I am deeply honored, Your Highness."

This scene made the hearts of countless women flutter. Even though they knew Saber was a woman, her high-tier looks made her undeniably handsome!

Moreover, the trope of a knight guarding a princess was an enduring romantic epic, possessing an unparalleled lethality for women.

Of course, it was a different story for the men; many wore subtle expressions, as they were reminded of the footage from yesterday showing Irisviel's husband, Emiya Kiritsugu, and his assistant, Hisau Maiya, cheating.

Was this... a case of mutual infidelity and mutual hurt?

Afterward, Irisviel began to chat with Saber about the sea. Saber remarked that she did not like the ocean, for during her lifetime, the other side of the sea held her enemies and the barbarians who constantly sought to invade Britain—it was the place where her foes resided.

Irisviel nodded in realization. "That's true. After all, you are King Arthur. That era was completely different from this one."

With these words spoken, it was an explicit confirmation that Saber's identity was indeed King Arthur, leaving countless people stunned and incredulous.

Although yesterday's Light Screen footage had already touched upon this, it had been done through subtitles and other subtle hints, leaving people to wonder if it were truly the case. Now, however, it had been laid bare for everyone to see.

This Maiden Knight was the legendary King Arthur!

King Arthur could not possibly be a girl!

Countless people were struck by this thought at that very moment, experiencing a violent cognitive dissonance due to the revelations of the Light Screen.

Everyone was desperate to know how this could be. Why was King Arthur a man in history? If King Arthur were truly a young girl, were the ancient people of Britain all blind? How could they fail to notice that such a beautiful monarch was actually a girl!

During the new book period, the editor has restricted me to a limited number of updates per day, so I am temporarily limited to two chapters daily. Once the book is officially published, these restrictions will be lifted, and I will aim for 10,000+ words a day.

To be honest, I want to update more as well. Being capped at 5,000 words a day is truly agonizing; I have no choice but to keep stockpiling chapters...
