863. Sometimes the greatest obstacles can grow in unexpected and ridiculous places
After making sure that there were no living people in the tower, Xingji tapped his wand, and the seemingly indestructible tower collapsed in an instant, turning into invisible dust and returning to the earth...
It's as if there was no such tall tower that violated common sense of physics from the beginning and existed only for the sake of bad aesthetics and mystery.
"Huh? Mrs. Ally, are you feeling sad?"
After taking care of the tower and burying the stone slab to deceive the archaeologists, Xing Ji saw Irisviel's expression sad because of the separation.
"Hmm... a little bit better, right?" Irisviel shifted her gaze from the empty ground to look at the stars, and said: "No matter what the beginning is, and what kind of process it is, there will always be a feeling of sadness when you leave.
Empty.”
"I see..." Xingke nodded to express his understanding.
This is a common characteristic of all people. Even if you have plans and preparations in your heart, when the inertia of your daily life is actually broken, you will always feel an inexplicable sense of loss and emptiness.
"But the option of staying in the same place all the time is unrealistic. Even as powerful as I am, I haven't realized the luxury of [settling in one place permanently]... So, the best way is to [get used to it], right?"
Just like the four people present now, only the youngest Irisviel showed obvious emotions. The other three people all had a hard-hearted heart that had been through a lot and had become insensitive to their emotions. They all seemed calm.
"Yes, that's right. You can't stand still. Little Gis is indeed a mature adult." Irisviel smiled again.
"Ah... well..." Xing Mo seemed to be in pain when he was told this and didn't know how to answer.
Just then, he saw a peeping onlooker in the distance, and Xing Ji changed the subject:
"Mrs. Ellie, look over there. Don't you want to say goodbye to those children? Basically, you are the only one in charge of them, right?"
Irisviel turned around and quickly caught sight of some small figures looking cautiously under the shadows of the houses in the distance.
Seeing them, Irisviel was slightly surprised, but after thinking about it, she shook her head.
"No, no." Irisviel seemed to no longer feel the sadness just now: "Those children can muster up the courage to come here, which means that what I want to convey has been conveyed. This is the best they can do now.
Answered."
"Huh? Really? I don't quite understand." Xingke said that he didn't quite understand this kind of bond that belongs to others, and he didn't care:
"So, final confirmation - Emiya Kiritsugu-san, do you have any regrets? As long as you leave, it will be difficult to return to this point in time."
Emiya Kiritsugu, who was named, seemed to have begun to show his presence at this time. He had an aura of his own. Looking at the surrounding settlements that were not very large, he said:
"It's enough. If we do anything more than this, a nation may really become [domesticated animals in the zoo] and lose the ability to survive independently in the wild."
"Well, Kiritsugu-san..." Xingke said with a deep expression on his face: "Although I have wanted to ask you for a long time, I never had a good chance. This time I have to leave this era. From now on
Maybe I won’t have a chance to ask, so I’ll ask now——
What has it been like for you to transform into this intellectual-like way of speaking over the years? Where did you learn the cultural knowledge from?"
"...Ordinary school, please don't worry about it." Emiya Kiritsugu pushed up his glasses, looking a little embarrassed as Irisviel snickered.
"Well, forget it." Xingke also felt that teasing Emiya Kiritsugu, a grown man, should not be too harsh, and then said seriously: "You are worried that this small civilized settlement will lose the ability to develop independently. I agree, and even feel that until
The current interference is still a bit excessive.
But, Kiritsugu-san, don’t forget——
For such a small place, looking at the long history and geography, it is natural for it to be eliminated, annexed, and integrated. It is a natural process in development. This is a world where eating and being eaten are normal.
.”
Hoshikatsu said and turned around, opening the [Time and Space Gate] while turning his back to Emiya Kiritsugu and said:
"Now it seems that all we did during this period was see the injured chick, benevolently put it by our side and take care of it for a few days, and now we have to release it back into the forest...
After it returns to the forest, it is normal whether it will naturally decline or be eaten by natural enemies."
Stepping through the door of time and space, Xingji opened his eyes again. It was still the same sky and earth, but time had changed to the point in time that originally belonged to him - [2023 AD].
Looking at the original settlement where the location had not changed, but the scene had changed, Xing Mo felt that the three Emiya family were following in his footsteps and saw the same scenery...
"Look, this is the place we just left, this is the land, and the development of that settlement over the past few decades - is there anything you want to say?"
Just like seeds planted in spring, they originally had to wait for a summer to see the harvest in autumn, but Xing Ke used magic means to control time and harvested in ten minutes. A thing that could have been completed just now【
Open ending], a black screen with white subtitles [decades later] was abruptly added, and a very realistic [talk about it later]——
The original dilapidated adobe houses have long been replaced by more modern and stronger reinforced concrete, and the roads have long been transformed into smooth cement slabs.
On the central square where they are located, there is a stone pillar that is very characteristic of the national style of this land. The relief carved on it is something that no tourist would really believe. It is a legend about the coming of the devil...
The surroundings were bustling, and at a glance, 90% of them were people of various skins dressed as tourist travel companions. Although it was not too crowded, it could still be considered very lively.
"Has this... become some kind of tourist attraction?"
Illya looked at the tourists passing by her. They were all followed by a small floating camera, which automatically captured their various strange postures.
Muggle technology seems to be developing very quickly and looks very magical.
"It's not incomprehensible to say that when we messed around at that time, no matter whether we were regarded as devils or gods, no one except those involved at the time would believe it... The stories became more and more mysterious as they spread, and they were regarded as strange religious beliefs.
It's natural.
