Chapter 288
It can be said that Kiritsugu Emiya's choice was completely beyond everyone's imagination.
After all, although Emiya Kiritsugu's previous act of killing his biological father violated human ethics, it was still within an acceptable range, because Emiya Norika was indeed the main source of the appearance of Dead Apostles. If he was not eliminated, there would be more victims in the future.
However, this time, Kiritsugu Emiya killed Natalia with his own hands, which can be said to be directly unacceptable to a large number of viewers.
If most people were faced with such a choice, I'm afraid most would choose to save their familiar friends and relatives, and not care about the lives of strangers.
Kiritsugu Emiya's choice completely violated this most basic human nature, which greatly irritated the nerves of ordinary people and made the contradiction of this choice even stronger.
After all, this is essentially a trolley problem. The moment a person places himself at the control console of the trolley track, he is doomed to be unable to make a reasonable choice, because the choice itself is a mistake.
There has never been a trolley problem that has been theoretically disseminated in the world before, so when "Fate Zero" presented the concept of the trolley problem, everyone was suddenly confused and started a heated discussion.
…
In major cinemas across the empire.
"I think Emiya Kiritsugu did the right thing, because once that plane lands, so many contagious Dead Apostles and those dangerous Demonic Bees will claim the lives of thousands of people. The harm caused is simply too great."
"But I think we shouldn't make a choice so easily. Emiya Kiritsugu's behavior is too cold-blooded. He didn't even consider the possibility of Natalia's survival. Instead, he made up his mind to kill Natalia from the beginning. Is this behavior worthy of Natalia's upbringing?"
"Compared to the grace of raising her, more innocent people will be attacked. For this reason, we can only sacrifice Natalia. There is no other choice."
“What do those innocent people have to do with Emiya Kiritsugu? Even if many innocent people may die because of this, it was only the Demon Bee Messenger who caused all this, and it has nothing to do with Emiya Kiritsugu!”
"Since Emiya Kiritsugu has the ability to save all of this, if he doesn't do it, then why do you say it has nothing to do with him?"
"If I see someone fall into the water and don't save him, can it be considered that I have killed him?"
"If you didn't even call for help and just walked away pretending you didn't see anything, then what you did is no different from murder!"
"My goodness, when has the Empire's laws ever stipulated such a thing? You are just making up excuses!"
"You are making specious arguments. If everyone was as indifferent as you, the empire would have been completely destroyed at its inception."
"Stop arguing, everyone. In fact, I think Emiya Kiritsugu should consider a win-win solution, such as evacuating the airport in advance when the plane lands, or using a large number of flamethrowers to block the surroundings of the plane in advance. In short, there are always more solutions than problems. It depends on whether you dare to think and do it."
"... ..."
All of a sudden, all kinds of opinions were expressed by the audience, and the plot of the movie allowed countless ordinary people to have ideological collisions and baptisms.
For this reason, the orc prophet who saw this scene opened his mouth in slight surprise.
As the wisest person in the Orc Empire, the Orc Prophet actually had a rough understanding of the fictional nature of the movie after watching it last time.
But even if it is fiction, he feels that there must be some truth behind the movie. At least many concepts cannot be proposed out of thin air if they are not designed and prototyped.
Of course, at that time he still thought that the role of movies was only to spread and entertain, to express deep-level creations with simple pictures, and he did not think of other more complicated things.
But now, when he saw so many people discussing a topic and bringing up their own shallow but occasionally constructive topics, he suddenly realized the more essential charm of film as a tool for disseminating information.
If human beings can be viewed as a whole, then in the past only a very small number of people were able to understand wisdom and develop divergent thinking through books.
But now, when more visually appealing movies and TV shows appear, the vast majority of people, even those who originally lacked self-thinking awareness, have gradually formed their own ideas about the content of the movies.
This collision of thoughts, and the explosion of ideas to a greater extent, made the orc prophet see an evolution taking place.
Although this may sound a bit exaggerated, he did feel some amazing changes brought about by the advancement of communication tools.
Of course, the Orc Prophet didn’t know what this change meant at the moment. He just watched the movie in front of him and felt the charm of movie as a cultural product from the bottom of his heart.
... ...
Imperial School of Magic.
Seeing the plane crash and explode completely, the magicians all looked regretful. After all, they wanted to study this magical aircraft more and wanted to know what kind of structure could allow such heavy steel to fly.
"I think there should be a lot of wind element arrays engraved on the entire fuselage. With the propulsion of wind elements, it should be possible for such a large fuselage to fly."
"That's not right. Even if it's a wind element array, where does the magic power come from? It's impossible for the plane to fly for such a long time just relying on a self-charging array, right?"
"Perhaps there are some anti-gravity spells engraved on the fuselage?"
“I think the answer may be even simpler.”
“… … .”
The magicians were talking.
At the same time, even the great sages at the top of the Mage Tower could not help but engage in a heated discussion on this issue.
Just when the great sages couldn't understand how the plane took off, Sage Wharton, who had not offered any constructive suggestions, suddenly said:
"Looking at the structure of this plane, I wonder if it will release high-powered explosion magic from the tail end of the plane, relying on the propulsion of the explosion to push the plane forward, and after breaking through gravity, relying on inertia to fly?"
After hearing what Sage Wharton said, the great sages who had originally sneered at his words and did not believe that this great sage who only knew explosion magic could come up with any constructive suggestions were all stunned.
After all, if you think about it carefully, maybe the method to create this kind of aircraft might really be what the other party said.
Chapter 289: The final episode of "Fate Zero" is released! (VIII)
Chapter 289
Amid the audience's discussions, the content of the movie "Fate Zero" continued to develop.
After ending Kiritsugu Emiya's memories of the past, the movie finally begins the official content of the Holy Grail War.
…
In the fresh morning air, Emiya Kiritsugu stood in front of the door of an abandoned house in Miyama Town.
"Do you want to see the lady?"
Emiya Kiritsugu nodded silently in response to his assistant Maiya's remarks.
"Her current condition..."
"I know, but I've already realized it."
As he spoke, Emiya Kiritsugu walked into the messy warehouse.
In a corner of the dim warehouse, the beautiful Sleeping Beauty was lying in a magic circle where magic power was quietly stirring.
"Ah, it's Kiritsugu..."
Irisviel stretched out her slender hand and lightly touched Kiritsugu's cheek with her fingertips, but even such a simple action was extremely difficult for her.
"Is this a dream? Are you really...really coming to see me..."
"Yeah, I'm here."
"I feel... so happy... falling in love... being loved by you... having lived with my husband and daughter... for nine years... you have given me everything... all the happiness in the world that I could never have dreamed of..."
"I'm sorry, there are so many promises I can't keep."
"It doesn't matter. None of this matters anymore."
"If there is any happiness that I have not been able to obtain... then give it all to Illya, to your daughter, our most precious Illya. Please bring Illya to this country in the future and let the child see everything... things that I have no chance to see. The flowers of the cherry trees, the white clouds in summer..."
"I see."
He nodded, a hint of determination flashing in Kiritsugu's eyes.
And Irisviel suddenly placed her hands on her chest, and her empty palms suddenly burst into a golden light, warmly illuminating the dim warehouse.
“I have to return this… to you…”
As Kiritsugu watched with bated breath, the light gradually changed shape and formed an outline.
That is a golden scabbard.
"Ellie."
"From now on... the person who needs this thing... is you. When you face the final battle... it will definitely come in handy... "
As she said this, Irisviel handed the scabbard for summoning Saber to Emiya Kiritsugu.
…
At the same time, Webber and rider Iskandar were staying in a deep mountain.
Weber tied himself up tightly in a sleeping bag, while Iskandar chose to transform into a spirit for the first time in a long time and did not show his physical body.
"You should know where this is, right? This is where you were summoned. Although the spiritual energy here is not the best, it is still pretty good, and the magic circle from that night has not been lifted yet. For you, this is the most suitable spiritual vein in the entire Fuyuki, right? The efficiency of recovery should also be higher."
From Weber's words, it can be sensed that Iskandar's current condition is not very good. The lack of magic power has put him in a bad situation.
In response, Iskandar said with a wry smile:
"Hahaha, if you've discovered it, just say it right from the start. I only realized afterwards that I've already seen through it... How should I put it... Well, I'm really a little embarrassed."
"Idiot! You're the one who should have confessed earlier! If something happens and you can't move, I'll be the one who suffers!"
Afterwards, the two discussed Iskandar's current magical condition, and finally came to the conclusion that Iskandar could only use the King's Army once more to fight other Heroic Spirits.
At the same time, Iskandar also rarely expressed his views on the Holy Grail.
"Although everyone is furious, there is no evidence at all that the Fuyuki Holy Grail is the real thing."
"I have fought for something I didn't even know existed before. I wanted to let the world see the sea at the end of the world. I used this as a banner and made a fuss all over the world, killing many fools who followed me. Until the last moment, they were still dreaming of the sea at the end of the world I talked about."
"I no longer wish to cause others to die because of such groundless rumors. If you really know where the Holy Grail is, I am willing to reward your willingness to risk your life... Unfortunately, we cannot be sure yet. Perhaps the truth hides an unexpected betrayal, just like this round earth."
After talking about his views on the Holy Grail, Iskandar described his desire to fight Saber.
He believed that he had to personally shatter the other party's illusions and correct the other party from the wrong path, otherwise nothing would change.
Although Weber wanted to say something, he ended up saying nothing and could only let the other party make such a decision.
…
The plot of the movie gradually begins to unfold, and all the audience can feel the smoke of war gradually gathering in the Holy Grail War.
As for the Saber group and the Rider group, most people actually have feelings for them and hope that both sides can get a good result.
But unfortunately, there is only one Holy Grail, and there will only be one winner in this war.
"Irisviel looks so strange. Why can't she move at all? I think I mentioned this setting before, but I have no recollection of it."
"At this time, Emiya Kiritsugu took away the scabbard. Wouldn't Irisviel's situation become even worse?"
"But Irisviel doesn't need to fight after all. Emiya Kiritsugu and Saber are enough to complete the rest of the confrontation. In contrast, the King of Conquerors can only use the King's Army once, which means it will be difficult for him to win this war."
"Alas, I still like this free-spirited King of Conquerors. I really hope he can obtain the Holy Grail and fulfill his dream of becoming a hegemon."
"But to be honest, even if he obtained the Holy Grail, he wouldn't have much of a chance to become the Overlord, right?"
"Anyway, since Rider's next target is Saber, the two groups will definitely decide the winner first."
"… "
The audience was talking like this.
While the plot hasn't gotten more intense yet, they try their best to exchange all the information revealed in the current plot and speculate on the changes that might happen next.
In this situation, the content of the movie changed unconsciously, and a development that no one could have expected appeared in front of everyone.
The door of the warehouse where Irisviel was was suddenly broken by a powerful force.
The figure outside the door is none other than King of Conquerors Iskandar!
Chapter 290: The final chapter of "Fate Zero" is released! (9)
Chapter 290
The sudden appearance of Iskandar caught everyone off guard, including Kiritsugu Emiya on the other side of the movie.
Since he had left a mark on his assistant Maiya, when she was attacked, he immediately used the Command Spell to send Altria to Irisviel's side.
When he finally arrived after great difficulty, the entire warehouse had been reduced to ruins.
Maiya's body lay on the ground. This woman who was Emiya Kiritsugu's assistant met her death in that instant.
Elsewhere, neither Altria nor Irisviel had been found. It seemed that the latter must have met with some misfortune, and the former had set out to rescue her.
For this reason, Kiritsugu could only suppress the sadness and anxiety in his heart and take action immediately.
…
