Public Executions Start From King Arthur 55

Of course, even though it will appear on the light screen, the character that Lux wants to create on the light screen will only be a supporting role.
He won’t forcibly add a role for himself just because he created the light screen.
In fact, even though he revealed his identity as an operator of Counter Force to Artoria, he doesn’t intend to stay out of touch with the authorities forever.
It’s indeed inevitable to continue to be a big boss hidden behind the scenes, but being a big boss hidden behind the scenes doesn’t mean that you have to be a transparent person without a sense of presence on the surface.
Just like a certain stylish big boss is just a bespectacled man who has no sense of presence when he appears on the surface, it doesn’t mean that he is not the big boss behind the scenes.
On the contrary, if he has a suitable identity on the surface, he is more suitable to play the role of the puppet master behind the scenes.
All of the above possibilities are what Lux is thinking about. It’s not serious nonsense. After all, if he has to fight against almost invincible mysteries, any foul means will make sense.
A truly happy person should treat himself as a happy person.

Artoria is also a smart girl, and her brainstorming doesn’t stop: “So, your appearance and mine on the light screen are also known to Counter Force, and it’s even possible that the appearance of the light screen is related to Counter Force.”
“As a combat operator, I’ve already joined the official organization, so as a liaison, being found by officials and joining the official organization should be the next thing that Counter Force will arrange, or even something that has already been arranged.”
“So, Lux, when you showed your cards to me, did you receive instructions from Counter Force?”
Lux: “…Yes, allow me to choose whether to join Chaldea.”
Artoria’s eyes lit up: “You already know the name of the new organization that hasn’t been officially announced. Should we say it’s fate? So, Lux, do you want to join?”
Lux: “You want me to join?”
Artoria was a little surprised when she heard this, then said a little shyly: “If Lux doesn’t mind, it’s actually better to join. After all, you can get support from official resources, and in Chaldea, transcendent people like us have a lot of autonomy, our freedom of life won’t be restricted, and our welfare benefits are also very good.”
“So, actually it’s also good to join. Well, this is just a suggestion. The key is up to you, Lux.”
At the end of the sentence, Artoria nodded as if confirming, afraid of appearing as if she really wanted to work with Lux.
Seeing this, Lux smiled and said: “Then I will join. Actually, I’m also inclined to join. You’ve also seen that I appeared on the light screen. Although it was just an inconspicuous close friend, I still suspected that I would die when I appeared, but who knows if there will be a reversal later?”
“If I have another appearance later, with an official attitude in doing things, they definitely won’t leave me alone. So rather than being invited for tea at that time, it’s better to take the initiative to show off so that I can get better results.”
After a pause, he added, “Besides, although I don’t know what the senior officials of Counter Force are thinking, they have also issued clear instructions. When contacting officials, I can reveal relevant content from Counter Force. There’s no need to hide it, tell them everything I know.”
Artoria nodded thoughtfully: “Won’t Counter Force hide it? So… Then, Lux, let me talk about this matter!”
Lux was stunned: “You want to do it?”
Artoria nodded seriously: “Compared to you, I have gained more trust now. If I bring it up first and explain it, then I can gain more trust, and when the time comes, I will introduce you, then as an operator of Counter Force, you don’t have to bear much unnecessary doubt and pressure from the beginning when you join Chaldea.”
“Although this kind of thing is inevitable, the review will definitely be much looser, and I guarantee that after you join Chaldea, you will immediately gain the greatest freedom and autonomy.”
“Lux, this is something that the official organization will definitely worry about. It’s not that they really don’t trust you, so I hope you don’t mind Chaldea for this.”
It’s obvious that Artoria seems to regard Lux as a complete novice who is different from the rules of this official organization. After all, Lux is an ordinary sixteen-year-old boy on the surface, he must not understand many things.
Artoria grew up in such an environment, easily accepting these rules and regulations and facing them. She also wants to help Lux solve all kinds of problems in advance, to avoid the negative impact of Lux’s attitude towards the official organization.
On the contrary, the girl is very eager to work with the boy. After all, for the girl, fighting side by side with the boy she likes is full of romantic feelings.
Especially after gaining transcendent power, Artoria clearly feels that the difference between herself and others is getting wider, and she also feels admired and alienated by others, so she feels more lonely in her heart.
At this moment, Lux suddenly became transcendent, and they also have the same fate, which made Artoria find a strong sense of belonging, and she is very eager to truly work with Lux and become a real and ideal ‘best partner’.
Of course, her thinking can be considered to be putting aside this issue – after all, Lux planned to get a vest for himself from the beginning.
“Then, this is a very happy decision! Lux, you can continue your daily life today. I will contact the senior officials of Chaldea.”
“Also… thank you Lux, I’m so happy, thank you for fighting with me!”
Artoria showed an angelic smile at this moment, and for a moment, Lux’s sturdy heart was slightly touched.
Or rather…
Slightly healed.
Unintentionally, in the terrifying scene of total chaos and madness in his spiritual world, an undetected crack suddenly appeared, and a faint but warm soft light shone in.

The third round of the light screen video ended, leaving the world with countless topics and noise.
Countries have conducted more in-depth research on Servants and Mages, and they also have a deeper understanding of transcendent power.
There is no doubt that if humans really mastered the combat power of the powerful Servants on the light screen, then the battle against mysteries would no longer be passive defense, but could take the initiative to solve the problem.
Although there is now Artoria, the power she showed is very strong, except for level five mysteries, although the power displayed is usually far beyond ordinary people, but when it comes to the terrifying mysteries in that material, they are simply sent away.
According to Artoria, it’s the power of King Arthur’s relics. It can only be used once, and cannot be used again after that.
If there is no lie in this statement – at least according to the analysis of psychologists and negotiation experts brought in, it’s true – based on this, the actual power Artoria possesses is what is currently reported in intelligence.
Although it is beyond human reach, if they encounter a powerful mystery or one of the Servants on the light screen, there is a high probability that they will be beaten or even killed instantly, and this intensity is far less than what human civilization can achieve.
Therefore, after Chaldea has been established, it is now time to let go and fight for more transcendent individuals.
In fact, there are already other transcendent people in Chaldea, to be precise, they are victims.
In the last level five mystery attack, Yukinoshita’s sisters who were contaminated by the mystery unexpectedly controlled the erosion of the mystery, and already have power beyond ordinary people.
Although far from comparable to Artoria, there is no doubt that this is indeed ‘superior’ in a sense.
Transcendent caused by distortion and misfortune.
Now, the two sisters have chosen to join Chaldea, because they have suffered a huge blow after waking up and understanding everything, and they also have hatred for mysteries.
When Murata made the invitation, the two sisters agreed after thinking about it for a while, which also means that they are completely cut off from their daily lives in the past.
In other words, it’s impossible to stop them, after all, they are already half-mystery creatures and can no longer return to the past.
While the human side is taking active action, on the mystery side, the gathering of high-level mysteries has begun.
❀❀❀
In an unknown place that even Lux can’t explore, more than a dozen high-level mysteries have gathered here.
These mysteries used to have the same identity as humans, because Mystery itself does not have high intelligence, but creatures that are corroded and distorted by Mystery will have human characteristics that the original Mystery does not possess.
Only humans understand humans, and only advanced mysteries transformed from humans know how to bring humans to ruin.
This is not the kind of destruction where everyone throws nuclear bombs together and plays it.
Such a blank space is not what mysteries want.
All elements of mystery are erosion, chaos, and madness.
On a lifeless planet, all of this will not exist, so it’s meaningless.
Therefore, the group of people who obey mystery, worship mystery, and do not behave under the ‘holy grace’ that is the greatest enemy of mankind.
The greatest enemy of mankind is mankind itself.
