Zongman: Picked up Medea at the beginning

Because Roland transformed the Holy Grail, Bazette and Yuzu are still at the location of the Holy Grail - their consciousness is still at the source, but it has been a short while since their consciousness arrived.

After Altria's relationship with Mordred eased a little, the two of them now often spend time together.

Eat together, sleep together, Altria teaches Mordred martial arts, etc.

Roland could see that both of them enjoyed this relationship. Even though Mordred kept denying it, he would behave himself after being stared at by Altria with a very gentle look for a while.

But compared to the relationship between them like father and son, mother and daughter, Roland feels that they are more like sisters...

Thinking of this, Roland thought about his subsequent trip to Britain, and the expression on his face became subtle.

Altria and Mordred are in this state now. I wonder how Morgan, Altria's real sister, will react when she sees this...

After joining the group of gods, Meli felt the long-lost freedom. She then jumped up and down in Einzbern Castle all day long, doing things in a playful manner, and was several times more cheerful than before.

If Merlin is a nightmare simulating a human, then Merry looks more like a nightmare simulating a goblin.

However, compared to the fairy, Mary obviously has more bottom line and more sense. She has higher emotional intelligence, but she is not as bad as the fairy.

So Roland saw that she didn't cause any trouble, so he ignored her.

And Illya...

Illya is taking care of the baby!

Illya had been with Irisviel during this period, and it was not known whether she had a sense of mission after Irisviel called her mother, but every time Roland saw Illya, he could see some maternal radiance on her young face, and the smile on her face became more and more gentle - except when facing Toosaka Rin.

Even Roland didn't know why, but even if Illya tried her best to restrain herself, Toosaka Rin always found a way to break her defense. Sometimes it was intentional, sometimes it was unintentional. It was very strange.

And the same is true in reverse - it can only be said that the horoscopes are incompatible.

However, just like Meng's mother moved three times, for Irisviel's sake, after realizing that she could not restrain herself in front of Toosaka Rin, Illya had a discussion with Toosaka Rin while helping Irisviel to establish her worldview. During this period, they reduced the number of times they met each other - instead, they faced off against each other in the God Group Communication!

So under Illya's education, Irisviel gradually began to become like Irisviel from a child.

During this process, Roland also talked with Illya several times. After confirming that she was in good condition, Roland did not interfere in the matter.

Just like the other members have things to do during this period, Roland also has his own things to do.

While Sieg was preparing for the expedition, Roland had been with Jeanne!

During the last attack on the Hanging Gardens, Joan of Arc's feelings towards Roland gradually developed from their original alliance to something else, so Roland had been strengthening this feeling recently, often going out with Joan of Arc and discussing all sorts of random things with her from time to time.

Then when Roland felt that their relationship had made some progress, he called Joan of Arc to the study, and when there was no one else around, he invited Joan of Arc.

"Joan, join us."

Joan of Arc was not surprised to hear Roland say this.

After all, during the discussions during this period, Roland had hardly concealed his intentions, but the relationship between the two parties had not yet reached the current level, so Roland had never said it out loud.

When Joan of Arc first realized this some time ago, she felt a little troubled.

After all, she didn't know much about Roland at that time, and had no intention of joining, but she didn't want to coldly reject Roland as an ally, so she kept choosing her words.

However, during this period of time, Roland and Joan of Arc talked a lot about the God Group, which made Joan of Arc realize what kind of place the God Group is. There are no restrictions on beliefs and no constraints. Even she can join in her current heroic spirit body, and there is no need to worry about the suppression force...

After the chains that originally trapped Joan of Arc were broken one by one, Joan of Arc breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Roland's invitation.

"There's no reason to refuse. Okay, I'll join!"

Jeanne agreed, and then all kinds of information about the gods appeared in her mind, and Roland asked her to go back and sort out these things.

After Joan of Arc left, Roland set up a barrier in the study.

Then he called out his own shadow puppet and asked the puppet to stand in front of him.

After Jeanne joined the group of gods, the number of members of the group of gods became 43, and there were 3 strengthening points.

Roland has only used enhancement points to enhance two skills so far.

One is the Shadow of the Dragon, which he strengthened to +10, the second qualitative change, and also the maximum level.

Another one is gravity manipulation, which he strengthened to +9, just one step away from the second qualitative change.

After understanding the role of enhancement points, Roland knew that if he wanted to quickly improve his personal strength, the best way was to add points to his skills, because adding points to his skills would greatly improve him.

It’s like now, as long as he adds a little more to the gravity manipulation, the gravity manipulation that has been strengthened to the second qualitative change can be further enhanced in power.

By then, Roland might be able to use gravity to manipulate and condense two black holes rotating against each other like those in the center of a supergalaxy.

Perhaps we can even develop skills like the giant seismic source.

But this matter is not of great significance.

Because the improvement of strength is only useful when you need it, otherwise it is enough as long as it is enough.

With his current combat power, it is actually enough.

Even if we suddenly encounter a 1.4 machine god, a wandering planet, or something like that, a supermassive black hole is enough to solve these messy problems.

That's why Roland called out the Shadow Puppet.

After the Dragon's Shadow underwent a second qualitative change, Roland felt that these shadow skills contained the secrets of his simulated Star Creation Chart, as well as the dream he had after killing the Six Dark Lords...

Although three enhancement points do not even reach the seven points required for a qualitative change, it can initially show which aspect of a skill will be enhanced.

Moreover, after the problem with Sieg is solved, by bringing in another group of people, we should be able to directly trigger the second qualitative change of the Shadow Puppet.

Among his shadow skills, the most important one is the shadow puppet.

Therefore, Roland felt that after the second qualitative change of the Shadow Puppet, he would be able to obtain more information that he did not know now.

So...

"System, add more!"

....

185. Roland is just too kind-hearted!

If one wants to initially unlock the secrets of this simulated star creation map, strengthening shadow skills is almost the best option.

Because in addition to strengthening the Dragon's Relic for the second time and giving it the identity of a human being in the final trial, most of the skills Roland obtained by drawing lots using strengthening points are shadow skills.

Roland now has many shadow skills.

Shadow Binding, Shadow Move, Shadow Wolf, Double Shadow Puppet, Dragon's Shadow, Shadow Fusion, Shadow Warrior, Shadow of Yin, Shadow Kingdom, Shadow Mage, and the Shadow Crown that is always worn on the head of the Double Shadow Puppet.

Among these, familiars are the ones Roland uses most often. Permanent skills like Shadow Fusion, passive skills like Shadow of Darkness, field skills like Shadow Kingdom, and group auxiliary skills like Crown of Shadow are all normally used.

On the contrary, the two skills Shadow Binding and Shadow Move are becoming less and less commonly used due to their triggering conditions.

Especially Shadow Binding.

So when Roland first decided to strengthen his shadow skills to obtain information about the simulated star creation map, his first choice was Shadow Binding!

the reason is simple.

Because the skills that Roland could find in other places were different from those of the Six Eyes, after Roland had a certain degree of control over the Simulated Creation Star Chart, he knew that these shadow skills were all built into the Simulated Creation Star Chart 04, or were skills that had been saved on it before.

If it was really useless it would have been optimized away long ago.

It's impossible to stay any longer.

Therefore, this shadow binding must have some other function, or it can further produce better and more convenient linkage with other abilities, or it can produce some additional effects after the second qualitative change - and this can allow Roland to trace the source and make further guesses about his simulated star creation map.

But he finally chose the Shadow Puppet to strengthen himself.

The main reason was that the dragon's shadow that had undergone a second metamorphosis abandoned its original form of Vortigern and gained the form of a three-headed dragon. This made Roland want to see if other shadow familiars would have other appearances after their second metamorphosis.

Especially the shadow puppet that looks exactly like himself!

So Roland looked at the shadow puppet standing in front of him, which was made up of his own shadow and had a shadow crown on its head. He invested his three current reinforcement points directly into it!

There are traces of strengthening and qualitative change.

It’s like gravity manipulation is constantly strengthening the size of the manipulated gravity, and the qualitative change is also a leap in power.

The strengthening of the dragon's shadow is reflected in the attributes of the dragon shadow. After the second qualitative change, it also turns into a three-headed dragon with explosive attributes.

So Roland wanted to see in which aspect the Shadow Puppet would become stronger after its skill was strengthened!

Long before investing in the reinforcement points, Roland had made various speculations.

Strengthen attributes, strengthen skill linkage, strengthen power

But the result surprised Roland greatly.

Because he gave the Shadow Puppet +3, but his Shadow Puppet didn't change at all!

These three enhancements did not appear on the puppet, but appeared directly on himself!

As the three reinforcement points were invested, Roland felt that his aura had undergone some changes. It changed from being an invisible and vague thing to becoming tangible and concrete!

Now his aura can even spread out actively along with his thoughts to shock others!

If I have to describe it...it's like the so-called divine power, dragon power, and domineering aura!

Feeling this change, Roland smiled.

"Because I am the only consciousness of the Shadow Familiar, the enhancement in this aspect falls directly on me along with the consciousness. If you think about it this way, the identity of the final trial of mankind is probably also given to me in this way."

Thinking of this, Roland let out a sigh of relief.

"Good news. These shadow skills seem to be fine. Even though this simulated star creation map may have had a previous owner, it should now completely belong to me."

"Bad news... Such enhancements have little relevance to the simulated star creation diagram, and even the qualitative changes are hard to imagine...

.. "

"The only thing that is certain is..."

Roland muttered to himself, then he closed his eyes again, felt his improvement, and gave further affirmation.

"...This thing is definitely not as simple as Conqueror's Haki. This pressure should have some other purpose."

"This is the only thing I can feel, and I'm sure of it!"

As a newcomer to the group of gods, Mordred has been strengthening his understanding of the group of gods during this period. After Merry and Joan of Arc also joined as newcomers, they gathered together and began to discuss this issue.

Both Merry and Jeanne were given knowledge of the gods, but Mordred was not.

Roland did this on purpose, just to create a basic topic for Altria and her.

So compared to Merry and Joan of Arc who were both marveling at the peculiarities of the gods, Mordred's perspective on the issue was not here.

"The God Group is a force after all, or a small kingdom... but maybe because it's small enough, to be honest, I've never seen such a structure that follows only one will from top to bottom."

"And the feeling Roland gave me was different from the impression I had of a king... He was too kind. Although that's not a bad thing, it felt weird to me that a good person was king, and a king who followed a single will."

Mordred sat next to Altria, looking at Meli and Jeanne who were sitting on the sofa opposite, and said this while frowning.

And Merry and Joan of Arc also began to think about it and then nodded.

"Indeed, Roland has always been a very gentle person."

Jeanne approved, while Merry thought about it a little more.

"That's the case most of the time, and you can tell he's sincere - but there are also a few times when you look at him and it's as if you're staring into an abyss that you can't see the bottom of. At these times, he seems terrifyingly deep."

In fact, Mary doesn't know which one is the real Roland, but if she were to draw a conclusion now, she would probably say that the gentle side is the truest side of Roland.

When Altria saw that the three of them had reached a conclusion, she shook her head and successfully attracted the attention of Mordred and the others.

"Gentle... Although Roland can be gentle at times, using only this word to describe him is definitely not comprehensive enough."

"Roland is a very complicated person."

After becoming Roland's sharp blade, Altria rarely took on the identity of a king again, and then gave Roland an evaluation from King Arthur's perspective.

"If he's a friend, he's reliable, but if he's an enemy, he's scary."

"You mostly see him as a friend, or at least an ally - but he is a completely different person when facing his enemies."

Hearing what Altria said, Jeanne was the first to fall into thought.

Because she had seen it once when she followed Roland to conquer the Sky Garden...

When it comes to his own people, even when facing the willfulness of her ally, Roland will seriously consider her demands, and even understand her and not make things difficult for her, but when it comes to enemies...

Not malicious, but cold!

Now, Joan of Arc recalled what Altria said, and it seemed that since she set foot on the Hanging Garden, or even earlier, Roland had never set his sights on those enemies...

Joan of Arc was thinking this way, and after Merry stopped worrying about which side of Roland was real, she looked at the two sides separately and had some ideas.
