Zongman: Picked up Medea at the beginning

"The so-called Holy Grail is just a kind of magic, right? Since it is magic, then as a magician, I naturally have a magician's way."

Joan of Arc nodded as if she understood. Merry thought of the relationship between Roland, Alaya and Gaia, and felt very relieved.

Mordred didn't react much, but was actually having a private chat with Altria using the God Group Communication.

Bazette, Toosaka Rin, Arizuma, and Illya looked at Roland with dazed eyes.

They knew Roland's talent for magic, and they also knew how long he had studied magic. Illya could actually change the rules and rituals on the Holy Grail, but that was part of the Third Law, and they didn't expect Roland to be able to do it.

At this time, they also realized that although Roland did not participate in the Mecha God manufacturing plan, his magic level did not remain unchanged at the time when he first became a magician.

"Okay, anyway, Bazette and Yuzu, you two can go now without any worries, and leave the rest to us."

Roland supported his chin with his crossed hands, with a smile on his face as he said this. He did not feel nervous at all about the so-called enemy's attack.

Bazette and Youzhu looked at Roland and nodded. Without asking any questions, they turned around and left the meeting room to go to the Holy Grail.

Although Mordred had been asking Altria all kinds of questions in the God Group Communication, she was still a little surprised when she saw that Roland said something and the others carried it out without hesitation, and no one questioned Roland in this regard.

She was somewhat interested in matters concerning the king and the administrator, so the topic she asked Altria began to move towards Roland.

After Bazette and Youzhu left, Roland looked towards the empty space among the crowd. Then, as his eyes focused, a section of chanting was completed, and a simple projection spell appeared.

"During the time we were transporting the Holy Grail, our enemies had already made preparations and were now rushing towards the positions I had set up earlier."

On the light screen formed by the projection technique, the servants of the red and black sides appeared one after another.

The last one to appear was Jack the Ripper, the only heroic spirit besides Mordred who was not found by Sieg.

"Jack, don't worry about her. Her existence is rather special. I will solve her problem - and the remaining enemies..."

The image on the screen changed again, and this time it was Sieg who appeared on the screen in a black robe.

"...He's the only one."

Roland did not mention any of the heroic spirits other than Jack. He just smiled and said this while looking at Sieg on the screen.

"Our only enemy is a poor man who was captured by someone in a parallel world, Mr. Zigg."

....

181. Mary: Oh no, I’m the only one having fun!

Roland had already sensed what Sieg was doing, so those heroes were not enemies at all. Roland did not discuss issues related to the heroes at the meeting, but only focused on Sieg with the people present.

He didn't say much about Bai Yasha, only saying that she was a visitor from outer space.

It also said that Sieg was one of the collectors of the parallel world created by this alien.

He also said that the restraining force had begun to deal with such special existence, and then indicated that he was going to deal with Sieg here.

Hearing Roland say this, Mordred frowned slightly.

She felt that Roland was being too concise.

There is no mention of what benefits will be gained from dealing with Sieg, nor is there any mention of the necessity of doing this.

Although Mordred had also heard his father talk a lot about Roland in the God Group Communication at this moment, he had never experienced it after all, so Mordred's attention subconsciously fell on other people.

She was new here, and she wouldn't do anything to attract attention before she fully understood the situation.

But what about everyone else?

Wouldn’t you be dissatisfied?

With this thought in mind, Mordred first glanced at his father, and then he found that Artoria had no objection at all. However, after hearing that Roland was going to get rid of Sieg, she seemed to be preparing to kill him!

Except for Altria, other members of the gods had the same reaction.

There was no doubt as Mordred had expected!

This surprised Mordred very much, and then he began to gradually understand what kind of place this so-called group of gods was.

The so-called group of gods is not the same as the kingdom that Mordred imagined...

There is a round table meeting in Britain, and every knight of the round table is qualified to express his or her opinion at the meeting. Based on the rough modern knowledge that Mordred obtained after the advent of the heroic spirit and the historical knowledge that she actively learned after her advent, other countries may have different systems from Britain, but one thing remains unchanged.

That is, the country carries out the will of the people rather than the will of the king.

The king can guide the people's will, divide the people's will, weaken the people's will, manipulate the people's will, or even ignore the people's will - but it is the people's will that determines the direction of the huge system of the country.

Because the people make up the country, only the people are the real masters of the country.

The king is a representative and a leader, but he is by no means everything, nor is he even necessary.

This is something Mordred has only recently realized.

But Roland's group of gods is different...

The direction of this group of gods seems to be completely determined by the will of Roland, the center of the group and the helmsman!

Roland's will is above all else!

The gods will unconditionally carry out Roland's will!

No matter right or wrong, no matter the reason, no matter the benefit...

The members of the God Group are like Roland's hands and feet.

This structure was novel to Mordred.

It also made her more curious about Roland.

After experiencing such a dream, Mordred would inevitably pay more attention to Roland.

After learning about some of Roland's deeds, she became more interested in him.

Plus the current curiosity...

Unconsciously, Mordred's eyes were completely on Roland, and he was inevitably attracted to him.

After Roland noticed Mordred's gaze, he also looked over.

"It was my personal idea to deal with Zieg's case. After all, the parallel world they accepted was too harshly converged, which would make them, the convergers, become more extreme, and this extreme behavior would be fed back to the alien."

"I'm going to meet that alien later and deal with her affairs, so before that I plan to cut off these parallel world collectors."

“It will be safer and make things easier.”

Roland looked at the explanation given by Mordred. It was obvious that this explanation was for her alone.

Then Roland looked at Joan of Arc again.

"Joan, strictly speaking, we are just partners, so if you don't want to get involved in this matter, then you don't have to get involved, and there is no need to feel any psychological pressure."

When Joan of Arc heard Roland say this, she and Roland looked at each other and then let out a long breath.

"Since we are in a cooperative relationship, then include me in it. At least now we are comrades-in-arms. I believe you will not do anything meaningless, so please use my power."

"Okay, thank you very much."

Roland smiled and nodded to her, then planned to continue making arrangements.

And it was at this moment that Mary spoke.

"Wait, what about me!?"

"You explained to Mordred who just joined, and asked about Jeanne's wishes. What about me? Don't you need to ask me?"

Hearing Mary say this, Roland glanced at her.

"What do you think Alaya asked you to do?"

"After all, isn't this supposed to be your job? Do I need to ask you about this?"

After seeing Roland's response, Mary was immediately certain that the relationship between Roland and Inhibition was even closer than she had imagined... because she could tell from Roland's attitude that Inhibition had basically told Roland everything.

This surprised Mary.

Because inhibitions rarely do that.

The inhibitory force is extremely aloof in front of these tools... oh, no, in front of the guardians and heroic spirits. It would be good enough if they could give you an answer after asking you for a long time, let alone introduce the task to you in detail and give you an explanation.

but...

Now it seems that Inhibition will be more patient when facing Roland.

After realizing this, Mary pretended to blush and spoke to Roland awkwardly.

"Hey, is it really okay to say this here..."

"Didn't Lord Alaya ask me to warm your bed?"

According to Meli's idea, Artoria was also there, and she could also see that Illya and Toosaka Rin had some feelings beyond friendship for Roland, so she would probably be able to fool them by saying this.

And if you're lucky, you might even have some fun watching it.

But just as Mary was looking forward to this, Roland made a look of sudden enlightenment, and then nodded at Mary with some understanding.

"I see. Alaya didn't even tell me. If this is your mission, then come to my room tonight."

Roland said this directly, and then turned the topic back to the task arrangement, not giving Mary a chance to react, and directly finalized the matter, Uncle!

This made Mary a little confused.

She looked at Altria who showed no reaction, then looked at Illya and Toosaka Rin...

Oh no, I’m the one having fun!

....

182. Sieg: No one knows Honkai energy better than me!

After being captured by the parallel world, Sieg did things in an extreme way, but he is not stupid.

So even though he said he wanted to share the status of Semiramis and the others with all the Heroic Spirits, he still had some reservations.

After all, sharing this state is troublesome and requires him to spend some effort, and the result is that all these heroic spirits have unlocked the restrictions on their magic power and Command Spells. This is in line with their personalities - they may make efforts to recover the Holy Grail, but they will never execute orders completely according to their own will.

He looked around and even found quite a few troublemakers.

This allowed Sieg to add a layer of insurance when constructing the shared state technique.

"Sieg, the energy you use to construct the spell doesn't seem to be magic... Come to think of it, the energy you used in the previous battle wasn't magic either, is there such a magical power in this world?"

When Semiramis saw the spell constructed by Sieg, she frowned slightly and then asked a question.

The other heroes also looked over.

Seeing their reactions, Zieg just nodded silently.

"It's not magic, but a kind of power called Honkai energy. It's a type of energy that has gradually risen with the rise of technology. It's not mainstream in your era and hasn't even received attention, so it's normal that you don't know it."

All the heroes present were heroes. Although not every hero had a lot of experience, it was not difficult for them to tell whether Sieg was lying or not.

In addition, the modern knowledge they obtained after descending as heroic spirits did contain a rough description of Honkai energy, which made them all nod their heads to show that they understood.

While Sieg was explaining, Avisbron studied the technique and confirmed that there was no problem.

Then they used this technique to start sharing the contract status of Semiramis and the others.

In this way, all the heroic spirits present severed their original contracts and connected the contracts to Semiramis and their masters, allowing them to directly supply magic power.

Sieg watched this scene, and then he heaved a sigh of relief.

Although Semiramis said before that the Holy Grail might be the one providing them with magic power, this was just a guess by Semiramis after all, and Sieg would not directly believe this guess.

But now when he saw that this source of magic power could indeed sustain the magic power consumption of so many heroes at once, and there was no sign of consumption at all, he was convinced that Semiramis's guess was true.

Because apart from the Holy Grail, there is probably no other source of magic that can do this.

Then it can only be the Holy Grail.

And now they all used the previous technique made of Honkai energy...

Zieg felt relieved about this.

Of course he saw Avisbronn's previous little tricks, and the reason he didn't stop him was that Avisbronn was a magician, and he didn't know anything about Honkai energy!

After Sieg was captured by the parallel world, although his memory was messy, he also realized from the broader perspective of the parallel world how great the potential of the universal energy of Honkai energy was!

Among the parallel worlds in his mind, there is a world that uses Honkai energy instead of magic to drive spells.

The androids in that world also use Honkai energy as energy to maintain their activities.
