Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

The only remaining Servant that Black can use now is Astolfo.

Darnic was well aware of this. Even though Astolfo had changed his Master, he was still a Servant of the Black Faction and belonged to the Yggdrasilia clan. If he wanted to obtain the Holy Grail, he had no other choice but to rely on Rider.

Chapter 184 Post-War Reconstruction

Danic had also considered changing Astolfo's Master again, to himself, or to another magician of the Yggdrasilia clan, who would be easier to control than the homunculus.

However, Sereneka also mentioned that Astolfo possesses a Noble Phantasm called the Magical Omnipotent Guidebook, which allows him to reach Rank A in magical resistance.

If you want to command it to take action, you must use two Command Seals to make it obey.

Therefore, forcibly transferring the contract in this way will only result in the loss of the Black faction's last remaining strength to seize the Holy Grail.

The other magicians of the Yugdorg Mirenia clan, unaware that Astolfo possessed such a treasure, naturally wouldn't understand what Danic was thinking.

Gordes, who had lost his Servant, looked down on Astolfo's Master, believing that such a homunculus becoming a Master was an insult to mages.

Then------

Then he was subjected to passive-aggressive treatment by the other androids.

At least now, whatever he wants to do, the androids basically pretend not to see it. Even if he comes looking for them, the androids will use other things to make excuses.

However, there are indeed other things as well.

Gold was naturally furious, but it was to no avail.

They only had these few androids left, so Gordes couldn't hit or scold them, since the territory was so small, and even characters like Shirou Emiya and Jeanne d'Arc were there.

He could only swallow his anger and resentment.

At that time, he faced the controversial magician of the Yggdrasilia clan.

The android, with a appearance many times more mature than before and eyes that contained a stronger, more distinct will than other androids, spoke these words.

"The reason I made a contract with Rider is that I don't want to see him disappear because he lost his Master."

The android looked at Darnic. As an android created by the Yggdrasilian race, it naturally knew who was in charge of deciding everything.

"We came back for only one purpose: to give my companions freedom."

His tone was extremely firm, as if nothing could shake his conviction.

Danic pondered for a moment, looked at the homunculus standing next to Astolfo, and then glanced at the homunculus tending to the wounded, before speaking and making his statement.

"Leaving aside other matters for now, now that you have become the Rider's Master, we hope you can lend us your power."

Darnic's general idea was that he could grant his companions, those androids, freedom, but he needed Darnic to win the Holy Grail War for them.

This is perfectly normal.

Currently, the Black side is suffering heavy losses.

The Holy Grail War is still ongoing.

In order to counter the Red team, the Black team needs Astolfo's strength no matter what.

Therefore, in order to gain Astolfo as a fighting force, Danic disregarded the thoughts of the other magicians of the Yggdrasilia clan and decided to make a compromise.

"The supply of magic to the androids is basically meaningless now. If you agree to lend your combat power, the matter of liberating the androids is not out of the question."

Fiore continued along with Danic's line of reasoning.

She thinks much deeper and further than Gold, and the Black side cannot afford to lose such a force.

Moreover, if they didn't bring them in, they wouldn't have any Servants at all.

If that android insists on taking the others away, they are actually powerless to stop it.

Even if Astolfo is weak, he is still a Servant, and it is basically impossible to stop him.

In reality, the Yggdrasilian race is still at a disadvantage when facing this homunculus.

As for the matter of offering sacrifices to demons, there is basically nothing wrong with it.

The greatest use of the Homunculus for the Black faction is in supplying mana; apart from that, you cannot assume that the Homunculus has combat power comparable to that of a Servant.

In the eyes of Servants, homunculus is nothing more than a string of numbers, as evidenced by the number of homunculus who died in this war.

It's important to know that no Servant was specifically designed to target the Homunculi, yet the Homunculi were almost completely wiped out.

Currently, within the Black faction, only Shirou Emiya, a magician, requires a supply of magic power, meaning they essentially lack the advantage of utilizing the androids to provide magic power.

With no Servants left, having a large amount of magic power is of little use.

Rider (Astolfo) has formed a contract with the homunculus, and he now provides all the mana he needs. Moreover, Rider's mana consumption is not high, so he does not need any mana from the other homunculus.

Assassin (Jack the Ripper) is basically not a servant of the Yggdrasilia clan, has his own Master, and even has countless hearts, so he would never need the magical power provided by the homunculi.

As for Shirou Emiya, Fiore plans to help him activate all his unactivated magic circuits, so that Shirou Emiya might not even need the homunculus to provide him with magic power.

It can be said that at this point, the homunculus had lost all its usefulness to the Gdomireian race in this Holy Grail War.

Moreover, liberating these androids doesn't mean they can't be recreated in the future; the technology for androids has always been in Danic's hands.

Although it is Einzbern's artificial human technology, now that it is in my own hands, isn't it my own technology?

After weighing the pros and cons, and under pressure from Danic, the magicians of the Yggdmillennia clan remained silent.

Only Gold couldn't accept it and started yelling, then stormed off in a huff.

If we're only referring to Masters, aside from Fiore, Gordes, and Darnic, there's only Corles.

Koles naturally had no objection to his sister's situation, but the Yggdrasilia family was capable of fighting against the Magicians' Association, and it wasn't just these few magicians who were capable.

“Although the castle has been destroyed, I still have a villa on the other side of Tulifas that can be used as a temporary workshop. We can move there. Mr. Emiya, Lady Saint, and Mr. Shishikai, please make sure you come with us.”

After resolving the Astolfo issue, Danic naturally didn't forget Shirou Emiya, who performed exceptionally well in this Holy Grail War, the arbiter of this Holy Grail War, and Kairi Shishi, the Master of the Red Saber.

Astolfo is an essential asset for Danic, while Shirou Emiya, Jeanne d'Arc, and Kairi Shishikate are assets that need to be recruited.

After all, those three people didn't have much connection with his Yggdmillennia clan.

Emiya Shirou, Jeanne d'Arc, and Shishikatsu Kairi had no objections to this.

Emiya Shirou doesn't belong to this world, and he has nowhere else to go. Moreover, he has always harbored the idea of ​​ending this Holy Grail War, in addition to what Kotomine Shirou said to him.

He still wanted to get involved in the Holy Grail War, even though his own servants had been eliminated.

As the adjudicator, Jeanne also wanted to ask Danic for some information about Kotomine Shiro. She couldn't possibly travel all the way to the Magicians' Association to investigate Kotomine Shiro.

The only way to get information from the black side is to try to find out more information from them.

Moreover, Jeanne d'Arc needed allies to deal with Kotomine Shiro's actions, and the Black Faction, which was opposed to the Red Faction, was obviously the best choice.

As a mercenary similar to Kiritsugu Emiya, Shishikatsu Kairi was actually just invited by the Mage's Association.

Now that I've withdrawn from the Holy Grail War, it's not a bad idea to take on another job.

"Remember to pay the fee."

"Of course, Lord Lion's Robbery."

Danic gave a perfectly standard bow.

Given the current dire situation, Danik must find ways to increase his side's combat strength.

After resting briefly at their temporary base, they moved to the villa of the Yggdmirena clan.

Chapter 185 The Changes of the Artificial Human

This is a villa located on the hillside of Tulipas.

The villa was quite luxurious. In terms of size, it might not be as large as the castle of the Yggdmirena family, but it was still a large estate that could accommodate nearly a hundred people.

The magicians and homunculus of the Yggdrasilia clan moved here together and settled in this villa.

This made Shirou Emiya sigh with emotion. If it weren't for the Holy Grail War, he might have properly explored this medieval villa.

However, the entire villa seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, devoid of any sign of life, filled with a sense of deathly stillness.

Even before entering the villa, you can feel a wave of dust coming towards you.

It will probably need some tidying up before it can be truly moved in.

However, before Shirou Emiya could make a move, the androids had already begun tidying up the villa.

Meanwhile, the mages of the Yggdrasilia clan were also busy, setting up a new barrier around the villa to prevent the red team's mages or Servants from breaking in.

This villa originally had a certain protective barrier around it; otherwise, it wouldn't have been left untouched for so long and wouldn't have been discovered by ordinary people.

Another reason is that this villa is very remote from the city and is located on a mountainside. Ordinary people would not go to such a quiet villa for no reason.

Who knows, it might turn into an adventure into the witch's house (laughs)

The barrier may not be able to stop the Servant's attack, but it's better than doing nothing.

At least it allows for a quick reaction when a Servant attacks.

With Caster Avisbronn gone, these matters now fall to the magicians of the Yggdrasilia clan.

Homunculi were not given much knowledge about barriers, as they were primarily intended as cannon fodder and energy suppliers in the Holy Grail War.

As Shirou Emiya walked down the corridor, he looked at the busy figures below and wanted to go and help, but then he realized that all he knew was projection magic and enhancement magic, so he could only sigh.

Going down there myself might only make things worse.

"Mr. Emiya!"

While Shirou Emiya was pondering this, a homunculus walked over with a weapon in hand and greeted him.

Emiya Shirou didn't hold back his smile either, waving in response to the homunculus.

Although the androids are still patrolling with weapons in hand, they have changed a lot compared to before, when they were indifferent to their surroundings and acted like machines.

This is not a change in appearance, but something more fundamental.

These androids are gradually becoming like real people, beginning to develop their own emotions. Their sense of presence is also constantly increasing.

If the homunculus hadn't greeted Shirou Emiya, he probably wouldn't have even noticed it.
