Why did Sieg appear on the battlefield and reunite with Astolfo
This story begins a few days ago, the night when the two of them parted.
After watching Astolfo disappear, Sieg randomly chose one of the three forked roads and staggered forward.
One step, two steps, three steps, four steps...
Even though he was exhausted, and still felt the pain from the intense exercise and excessive use of magic power, and even the most basic activity for humans, which required him to concentrate all his energy, he still tried to move forward.
This place is quite far from the castle, and has long been out of the protection range of the barrier. Although the surroundings are still in silence, the breath of living creatures can be clearly felt. The population in the Tulifas area is sparse, and there are large tracts of undeveloped wilderness and forests outside the town, and wild animals can be seen everywhere. Small animals such as squirrels and rabbits are fine, but if you encounter some larger carnivorous animals, you may die in your current condition, so you must get to the human settlement as soon as possible.
If he fell here, he would be sorry for the Black Rider who helped him in despair; sorry for the Black Archer who healed his injuries, taught him to walk down to earth, and taught him the goal of life; sorry for the Black Assassin who gave him a place to stay and recuperate, and who although he didn't treat him well on the surface, actually didn't have the slightest malice in him.
The idea of the artificial man who has never had contact with the outside world and is as pure as a blank sheet of paper is very simple. He wants to survive for himself, for those who are kind and help him, and for his companions who are still in the city of Mirenia.
Driven by this force, Sieg, who had just learned to walk and was not much different from a toddler, managed to complete this mountain road, which was definitely not easy to walk, by his own strength.
Although my steps still seem slow and clumsy, as long as I keep moving forward, the road will become wider and wider.
After crossing the mountain, Sieg spotted a small village in the distance. Unlike Tolyface, it was a place that no magician had ever set foot in.
It probably wouldn't take a day to manipulate the villagers' consciousness through suggestion, which meant that he could completely obtain the stable daily life he desired in that village. Or he could use that place as a springboard to go to another country.
So if I just take a step forward, I can have that kind of day. I can survive, gain something, or even find hope.
Everything is leading up to this step.
But why, why—my own feet refuse to take this step
Sigh. It seems that I really can't get rid of the fog that lingers in my mind. Does living as a human mean that I have to continue in this state for the rest of my life
Even so, he still managed to lift his feet, walked into this unknown village, and opened a new chapter in his life - this was how it should have been, and he did so, and he did not encounter any obstacles. The whole process was unusually smooth, and he did not even use the simplest suggestion magic. The simple villagers accepted him as an outsider.
He lived in an old man's house and led a stable and peaceful life.
There were no orders, no exploitation, and he was not treated as a tool. Everyone he met was very kind to him, and he lived very happily here.
I don't know if it's because the android is a completed individual, but his learning ability is very strong. In just a few days, he has gotten used to walking and can do some simple farm work with the villagers. His body is much stronger than when he was in the cultivation tank, and even using magic has become much easier.
Yes, he spent hours every day practicing magic that was engraved in his body and memory.
It's not out of interest or boredom, but because of the fog that has always shrouded my heart.
It can't be explained clearly.
Instead of dissipating over time, it became increasingly stronger.
Inexplicably, he felt that there was something he had to do, but he didn't know what it was? He felt that someone was waiting for him, but he didn't know who it was
What's wrong with me
It's so peaceful and stable here, and I'm getting the life I want, so why do I still feel uneasy
Because of the wings of a time traveler butterfly, he was not accompanied by a saint, and no one came to answer his questions. He could only be confused and hesitant alone.
Until that day, when a certain aerial fortress protected by magic and imperceptible to ordinary people flew over his head, he finally realized the source of his uneasiness and the location of the fog.
The knowledge he was given told him that it was the Servant's Noble Phantasm, and the direction of the fortress was exactly where the city of Mirenia was.
There was no doubt that an unprecedented large-scale war was about to begin, and his companions would suffer huge losses.
He knew he had to do something, although he hadn't figured out how to do it yet. But he would be unable to accomplish anything if he stayed here.
He bid farewell to the villagers who had always taken good care of him, abandoned the stable life he had finally obtained, and headed towards the place he thought he would never return to and never wanted to return to.
After hitchhiking, walking, and using wild beasts to get around, he finally arrived at the battlefield.
When he saw the tragic scenery unique to the battlefield, when he saw the miserable condition of his companions intertwined with the fragments of the Dragon Tooth Soldiers and the remains of the puppets, when he smelled the thick smell of blood, when he heard the endless sounds of killing and wailing.
He began to experience emotions he had never experienced before, such as anger, sadness, nausea, etc. These emotions, which were currently difficult to understand, also cleared the fog that had shrouded his heart for many days. He knew what was calling him and what he wanted to do.
He closed his eyes and reviewed his life. He had escaped to survive, sought help, and fled to survive. He had encountered crises several times, but he managed to escape danger successfully.
Although it was a very short life, I was blessed by the god of luck many times. I was no different from other androids... Yes, other androids were different from me now. They would all die without exception, but I would continue to live.
There is no way - it is easy to sum it up with this sentence. Just with this sentence, I can easily separate myself from them. However, I must never say "there is no way". In the past, the androids who were my companions clearly received the order to search, but in the end they still let me go.
When I heard about this from Rider later, what was that joyful feeling like? Wasn't it because I felt a bond between partners that went beyond the master's orders
In this case—
My wish couldn't be clearer.
I have been freed. So, I want everyone to be freed, just like Rider, Archer, and Assassin have given themselves freedom.
This is the dream of the artificial man. It has nothing to do with greatness, but it is by no means insignificant. It is just a simple wish for human beings to survive.
PS: The learning and growth ability of the androids can be referred to Mordred. He caught up with his father in a few years.
PS2: So Sieg’s brain is quite good. He immediately thought of the magic of suggestion, although it was never used.
PS3: In the original novel, Sieg's early life mentor was Jeanne. In the animation made by A1, the host of Sieg's boarding house, a certain old man, has a more important role. Not only did he clear Sieg's confusion with a few words, but he also gave Sieg a belt for hanging a sword. Although Toide did not give a clear time, it was at least between 1994 and 2004, which is modern times. The fact that the old man used such a belt when he was young is enough to show that he is extraordinary. Maybe he is a subordinate of the restraining force. Here, Rong Jianshao has a wild imagination. A subordinate of the restraining force, who concealed Jeanne's perception and used a sword - could it be you, the crown assassin, King Hassan!
