"So, you really persuaded Sir Lancelot?"
After listening to Daniel and Mash's alternating accounts of their experience, Bedivere's expression immediately became exceptionally colorful.
What could he say?
He could only say, 'As expected of Sir Lancelot, his spirit of chivalry is always so flexible.'
"Lancelot, and the Purification Knights under his command... I'm starting to feel our path ahead has become bright," Da Vinci said with a smile.
"And he even gave us a horse... we don't have to give this horse back, right?" Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Daniel and asked.
"He didn't say to return it," Daniel shrugged and replied. "He probably thinks we don't have any food and specifically sent this horse over to be our emergency rations."
"Um, wasn't it so we could catch up faster?" Mash asked, cautiously raising her hand.
"Do you think with this snail's pace, we need to ride a horse to catch up?" Daniel pointed back at the locals who were shuffling along by mechanical body movements.
He and Mash had delayed for so long back there, yet these people had only managed to escape about a thousand meters.
He would never volunteer for rear-guard duty again, even if it killed him!
Human stamina has its limits. Even if they wanted to keep going, the body's self-preservation function forced them to stop.
And the reason... was naturally the pool of water that appeared in the desert at night.
It was about eight meters in diameter. It was a bit wide for a pond, yet it couldn't be called a stream.
It was dotted with a few long-dried-up branches.
It was far from being an oasis.
But the existence of this pool made the locals' previously despairing and numb expressions break into joyful smiles again.
"Water in the desert, the source of life." Murmuring this, Da Vinci stopped the vehicle and chose to camp here.
The locals also gathered together, picking up firewood to start campfires on the spot.
Only Luzelde and Saria were willing to stay with Daniel and Fujimaru Ritsuka's group.
"Now then, can we continue the previous topic?" Romani's screen jumped out from Mash's shield again. "About the truth of the Incineration of Humanity, and the method to defeat that guy."
Daniel didn't reply, only silently watching a certain small animal that suddenly appeared beside Mash to receive her petting.
"What are you doing?" Sanzang's head suddenly entered Daniel's field of vision, interrupting his gaze.
"No, nothing." Daniel shuddered, then waved his hands repeatedly and shifted his buttocks away from Fou.
Perhaps it was because he knew its true identity, but when he first saw Fou appear, Daniel had a delusion that 'if I look away, I'll die.'
However, he couldn't be blamed.
After all, what was wrong with a primate fearing the Primate Murder?
"Ahem, then, let's continue the previous topic." Daniel looked at the people sitting around him. "Please choose!"
"Choose?" Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Daniel with a confused expression.
"Yes, just like an exam. Do you want to know the final answer directly, or do you want to start from the process and reveal the mystery step by step? Please choose."
"In this case, it's better to go step by step." Although Fujimaru Ritsuka was anxious to know the final answer, an answer without a process was like a castle in the air; one would fall hard.
"Mm, a wise choice." Daniel nodded in agreement. "Slowly accumulate knowledge and power. No matter how difficult the path ahead is, as long as you have the things you've accumulated in this process, you will always be able to successfully overcome it."
"Then, let's start by talking about this Sixth Singularity." Daniel stretched his legs, then propped his chin with his hand, looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka with a smile in his eyes. "First, let's talk about what you're most concerned about."
"The Holy Grail of this Singularity is currently in the hands of the Sun King Ozymandias. If you ask him for it without any merit, there is absolutely no hope. After all, he is a King, and a Pharaoh King, Ramesses II, whose name is as great as a god's."
"However, recovering the Holy Grail is no longer enough to repair this Singularity," Daniel continued.
Everyone listened quietly to Daniel's voice; no one spoke to interrupt.
No matter how shocking the content was.
"To repair this Singularity, you must complete two things. Recovering the Holy Grail is only one of them. Most importantly, you must defeat the Lion King and stop her method of 'leading only human specimens to escape'."
"Otherwise, your journey can only end here."
"If you want to defeat the Lion King, then the Sun King's assistance is indispensable. Besides the Sun King's side, the assistance of the Old Man of the Mountain's side is also necessary, as a Grand Servant is living in seclusion there."
"So to summarize, the Lion King's choice is something you absolutely cannot agree with. It is choosing the past, abandoning the present, and wiping out the future."
"As for how to defeat the Lion King... to be honest, if the Old Man of the Mountain still chooses not to be an enemy to her, our configuration definitely won't be able to defeat her." Daniel said, turning to look at Bedivere, "When that time comes, we can only rely on you to complete your mission that has lasted for over a thousand years, Sir Bedivere."
"Ah, I embarked on this journey for the sake of that very mission." Bedivere clutched his right arm and responded with an understanding nod.
"And then there's the Seventh Singularity."
"Wait!" Da Vinci suddenly interrupted Daniel. "Is that all you're going to say about this Singularity?"
"Then what else do you want to know?" Daniel asked back. "The only knight on the Lion King's side who can be won over is Lancelot. The other Knights of the Round Table will absolutely not betray the current Lion King, even if they know the current path deviates from their chivalry."
"Oh, right, I almost forgot to mention the 'Blessings' those Knights of the Round Table received from the Lion King," Daniel said, clapping his hands. "Gawain, you've seen him; the blessing he received is 'Eternal Night.' You should have seen its specific effect—when he draws his sword, a sun appears in the sky, and the sacred number allows him to receive a triple power boost under the sun."
"Tristan's blessing is 'Reversal.' Its specific effect is hard to describe, but anyway, the 'poison' that caused his death in life no longer has any effect on him now."
"Mordred's 'Rampage'... honestly, that one is very dangerous. If she goes berserk, she won't care about her own condition at all when fully unleashing her Noble Phantasm. You could say her mental state or physical condition both become extremely perilous."
"Agravain chose to refuse a blessing. He decided to assist the Lion King based solely on his personal will, but his Mad Enhancement skill boosts the combat power of the Purification Knights."
"Lancelot has already joined our side, so there's no need to mention his blessing for now."
"That covers the situation of the several Knights of the Round Table, excluding the Lion King."
