He smiled, looked up at the sky and talked about his past failures. It was said that Astolfo had committed fatal failures as many as his brilliant adventures.
He always lost every time he appeared in the horse riding competition; he fell into the trap of magic several times; the rationality he finally gained on the moon also evaporated unknowingly.
However, Astolfo never suffered a setback. The concept of failure and defeat did not enter his mind at all.
"For example, when turned into a tree, it is very stable, which is unexpectedly good. Birds will fall on my hands without warning, and animals, whether they are deer or wolves, will lean on me."
I'm afraid he's the only one who thinks so, right? Normally people would despair if they were turned into trees. But the paladin named Astolfo has lived an active life like this all the way.
"How do you want to live?"
Suddenly, a difficult question was thrown at him. The android was asked the same question before, but because survival was the goal at that time, he was unable to give an answer.
The dark forest...yes, my life is this darkness itself. Without purpose or goal, even survival is extremely difficult.
The caring voice from the bottom of his heart struck his little soul. It would be great if I could really escape. If possible, I would like to talk freely and at my heart's content, the android thought.
Suddenly, Astolfo stopped. He put strength into his clenched hands, which was a little painful. The android raised his eyes and saw a handsome and androgynous profile, as well as the silver-haired swordsman, the black-robed woman, and the creator in a platinum uniform who created these "consumables".
The magician who created the artificial man became the last hurdle that prevented the artificial man from moving towards freedom.
",, hold it in check, can you do this?"
Without any extra communication, Gold issued the order directly, and Siegfried and Altria stepped forward in silence, restraining Astolfo on the left and right. The mannequin that was leaning on him collapsed to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut, and stared at the human in front of him with its inorganic eyes.
At this moment, no one knew what would happen next, and Artoria, who knew a little about the outcome, remained silent.
She was waiting for the Master who was about to appear.
Before Alfu and the android were captured
"Varied……!"
Vlad III was stunned when he saw the young man standing in front of him, holding his spear tightly.
He could cross a distance of hundreds of meters in an instant, with only a split second of reaction time, and the determination and courage to block the thrust with his bare hands.
The assassin in front of him possessed all these conditions, which allowed him to protect Red and take Vlad III's fatal blow.
If it were him, it wouldn't be enough...
In the blink of an eye, Vlad III drew out his spear, brought out a bloody flower, then thrust the spear and stabbed again!
The last of his magic power was used up in the replacement magic. Shuoyue had lost the possibility of projection and could only rely on his bare hands to take on the piercing again and again. His arms were pierced and his chest was torn apart...but there was no expression on the young man's face. He just stood firmly in place, creating a clean space for the emerald green archers behind him.
Altria's reminder was timely enough, but this body once again dragged down Shuoyue, making him so miserable in the face of the attack of the Grand Duke of Wallachia.
The pain of being pierced by a gun raged in his mind like a tsunami, destroying his nerves and will. But even after enduring such pain, Shuoyue's eyes were still bright. He watched Vlad III's every move, and at the moment when the tip of his gun paused for a moment, he finally projected out a dagger and stabbed it at - himself without hesitation!
puff!
His heart was pierced without any surprise, and blood flowed backwards, forcing Shuoyue to spit out blood, and the blood soaked his black robe. But the young man's arm was still stable, and only his slightly twitching eyebrows showed the pain he was experiencing at the moment.
A servant would die if his heart was pierced. Even if Shuo Yue's dagger didn't touch too deeply, it still pushed him to the edge of death.
"You...!" Atalanta was shocked and speechless. Whether it was Vlad III's sudden attack, Shuo Yue's heroic rescue of the beauty, or his current self-injury behavior, they were all far beyond the archer's ability. Comprehension.
However, opposite Shuo Yue, Vlad III was even more horrified than she was, and even more unbelievable than her!
Because after the assassin stabbed himself, the Archduke of Wallachia could no longer feel the concept of puncture rooted in his body!
As the holder of the "King of Capital Punishment", every time Vlad III's spear strikes an enemy, it will produce the concept of "piercing", and then the stake will appear outward with the heart as the starting point - such an attack is undoubtedly the most deadly.
But the young man in front of him seemed to know all the information about his Noble Phantasm. He used some means to eliminate this concept before he launched the 'Executive King', completely defeating Vlad III's idea of killing him with one strike!
Facing those deep rainbow-blue eyes, even a man as iron-blooded as the Archduke of Wallachia could not help but feel chilled in his heart.
Destroy the 'ghost general who protects the country', eliminate the 'concept of piercing'... How much information does this young man know about 'Vlad III'?
Do I have any secrets or any chance of winning in front of him? !
The attack had failed, and even though the defense line in front of him was crumbling, Hong behind him had already bent his bow, full of murderous intent.
What's more, Hong in the distance had already noticed something unusual, broke away from his own restraints, and sped over.
In the end, Vlad III just looked deeply at Shuo Yue for the last time, and then retreated without any nostalgia, retreating safely under the protection of his spiritual veins.
The contact war that was triggered by Red's rampage tonight came to an end with the failure of Black's attack.

Chapter 426 Lust the cat.jpg
"Sister, are you okay?"
Realizing the crisis, Achilles broke away from Black and rushed to help, but he was still a step too late. Black, who failed in the attack, disappeared into the forest, while the Red, whom he was thinking about, Atalanta, was safe and sound. She just put away her bow, took a step forward, and supported the pale Shuoyue.
"Are you okay?"
Her animal-like claws touched Shuo Yue's black robe and bounced away like an electric shock. After hesitating for a long time, she carefully protected the young man's body to prevent him from falling.
Not out of shyness or anything related to gender, but out of pure surprise and awe.
This black robe has the aura of the Lord of Olympus... and he is the one from Hades.
Although Atalanta is a famous huntress in Greece, even she has only had contact with the four generations of gods such as Artemis and Apollo, such as Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon. The Great God never appeared in her life trajectory.
However, for some reason, she was turned into a lion by the angry Zeus, so she has always been afraid of the major gods.
Is this unknown young man in front of me a descendant of Lord Pluto? But apart from the cloak, he did not show the abilities that a divine envoy should have...
Someone gently pushed away her support. Atalanta came back to her senses and found that Shuo Yue had already stood up. All the injuries on her body healed rapidly, and even her face became rosy again.
Shuoyue's A+ durability parameter is not due to his strong skin and resistance to beatings, but is more reflected in the continuous recovery ability of the third method.
In Ta Miao's view, this ability, which is almost the same as resurrecting from the dead, is in line with the characteristics of the main god Hades.
"Thank you, Hong." Shuoyue expressed his gratitude, and Atalanta shook her head slightly, looking into his eyes seriously.
"I should be the one thanking you. After all, you have helped me three times tonight..." At this point, Atalanta couldn't help but be stunned.
He caught her when she was blown away by the sword energy, and held back Hei on the front battlefield, blocking Hei's attack for her. Even when he was seriously injured, he did not retreat a single step.
It can be said that every injury suffered by Shuo Yue involves elements related to Atalanta.
In the era that Atalanta lived in, which man could do this?
The status of women in Greece is generally lower than that of men, whether it is Io who was loved by Zeus but was turned into a heifer and suffered the wrath of Hera; or Cassandra who was cursed after rejecting Apollo's love; Iphigenia, who was abandoned by Agamemnon as a sacrifice, revealed how unable women were to be independent in Greek social culture.
Even the famous Atalanta was abandoned by her patriarchal father when she was born, and was left on the mountains of Arcadia, becoming an abandoned baby?
Atalanta no longer believed in men, but Shuo Yue, the man suspected of being the envoy of Hades, used practical actions to make her realize how wrong her understanding was.
Thinking of this, Ta Miao couldn't help but look at Hong, Achilles, who was standing beside her. With her experience, she could naturally see that this kid (note: Ta Miao and Achilles' father were contemporaries) admired her, but that was all.
If she and Achilles encountered the same situation as tonight, then the great hero would surely be immersed in the pleasure of fighting a powerful enemy, until Black took her life, and then he would wipe away his tears belatedly and make a scene on Black's side to avenge her, right?
Atalanta did not mean to blame Achilles, because this is a common problem among heroes, they are always intoxicated with conquests and victories, but forget that their relatives and wives are watching over them. In the end, love is neglected, family affection is extinguished, and the tragedy of despair finally leaves heroes with nowhere to escape.
Ironically, the more tragic the fate of heroes, the more enthusiastic and loudly people praise their fleeting lives.
——However, Atalanta is the princess of nature. She does not have the glory and baggage of a hero. For her with animalistic thinking, that kind of pride is just something to feed to dogs.
She values results more than face and dignity; she prefers living freely to dying without guilt.
Because all the men she was attracted to had the same qualities, Atalanta, completely disappointed, swore to the moon god to remain an eternal virgin.
It's just Shuo Yue, he seems different from other men.
"Ahem." Realizing that she had wandered off again, Ta Miao's pretty face turned slightly red. She coughed lightly and got back to the point, "Hong, although I don't know your real name, I will repay you in the future."
In the future? Verb or noun?
Shuoyue was stunned. He knew Atalanta's character. Facing Ta Miao's promise, he could even imagine the fresh prey piled up at his door.
Aren’t these the hunter’s gifts?
The problem is that this kind of reward is useless unless Ta Meow packs himself up and sends himself over (thick fog).
"Forget about repaying something, we are from the same camp." Shuo Yue's eyes fell on Atalanta, and he suddenly had an idea, "Speaking of which, I have always been interested in your body...ah No, your ears and tail to be precise."
To be honest, after traveling through time for so long, Shuoyue already misses the cat he had at home. As a cat owner, he has been working hard and serving the fat cat for so long. Isn’t he just expecting the cat to turn into a woman and come back to repay him?
It's a pity that Shuo Yue has always been deeply sorry for the failure of his business half way through.
And just in time, a large cat lady was standing in front of him.
"So, can you let me touch it?"
So, Shuo Yue made a request that seemed presumptuous to most women, and after a moment of hesitation, Atalanta actually nodded in agreement.
"It's just a symbol of some kind of curse or sequelae. It's not worth mentioning...it's just for a short while."
As mentioned before, Ta Miao grew up in the forest and is not sensitive to matters between men and women. For her, doing this can save her time in hunting prey, so why not do it?
"Sister, this...!" Neither Shuo Yue nor Atalanta had any objections, but Achilles on the side was shocked by the wonderful conversation between the man and woman, but after being glanced at by Ta Miao, he stopped. , stepped aside and began to doubt life.
"Well, let's start now." After sending Ajiao away, Atalanta turned back, let her hands hang naturally, closed her eyes calmly, and waited for Shuoyue to touch her.
Shuoyue was not shy at all. He stretched out his claws like petting a cat and pressed them on the green-haired girl's head.
Although the hair had not been maintained and was left to grow freely, it felt unusually soft and cool to the touch. As Shuoyue's palm moved, the soft, slightly warm animal ears were placed in the palm of his hand, just enough to be held in one hand.
The gentle caressing, the familiar touch, and the right height made Shuo Yue suddenly escape from the battlefield, and she dreamed back to her warm little home.
Every time he returns to the rental house after work, the cat owner lying on the cat climbing frame is Shuo Yue's best source of energy.
After all, no one can say no to a cute and well-behaved kitten, no one (shock sound)!
Memories came flooding back like a tide, the young man narrowed his eyes slightly, and his movements became more and more like the method of petting a cat; and the cat, who was being petted, also gradually narrowed its eyes, relaxed its body, and accepted the inexplicable sense of comfort, from the initial discomfort.
A low moan was heard, the girl's cheeks were slightly red, and she had a lazy expression with half-closed eyes, looking like she was acting like a spoiled child.
After a brief enjoyment, Shuoyue withdrew his hand as promised, but surprisingly, Atalanta subconsciously raised her feet and rubbed the young man's palm, as if she was a cat that was still unsatisfied and asked its owner to continue.
The moment she opened her eyes, Atalanta was startled herself, but Shuoyue seemed unaware. He just smiled and said goodbye to her, then turned around and also disappeared into the woods.
"Strange, aren't you going back to church with us..."
Achilles noticed the movement and walked over, only to find Atalanta grabbing her ears, looking thoughtful.
"Um, eldest sister, what's wrong with you?"
Achilles looked at Atalanta, whose hunter temperament was gone and even looked a little silly, and twitched his lips and couldn't help asking.
"No, it's okay." Ta Miao responded casually, his hands still fondling his animal ears, as if he was testing something, but finally put them down slumped.
No matter what I do, I don't feel as relaxed as before... What's going on?
Atalanta recalled the fleeting feeling of satisfaction and felt lost for a moment.
Chapter 426 The Death of the Artificial Man
Chapter 427 The Death of the Artificial Man
The pleasant time of petting cats is always short. After saying goodbye to Ta Meow and Heel, Shuoyue did not immediately return to the red team's base camp, but followed the location of Altria and chased her all the way.
In the original work, along with Red being captured by the Black side, Black Astolfo also defected with the androids.
Because of Gold's incompetence, this trivial incident eventually turned into a disaster for Black——
The only top-level servant on the Black side (the Archduke's hard power can only be considered first-rate), Siegfried, committed suicide.
His heart was transplanted into an artificial human body, which became an opportunity for him to get rid of the shackles of lifespan and officially enter the Holy Grail battlefield as a supernatural being.
Whether the androids live or die has nothing to do with the Black team. However, Siegfried's death dealt a heavy blow to the Black team's overall combat capability, causing their battle lines to be in a tight spot during the subsequent Red team's invasion. Black Frankenstein was killed by Red Mordred.
Shuo Yue had three purposes for intervening tonight.
One: Keep the artificial man and let him continue to shake Black's relationship.
Second: Keep Siegfried and don’t let this great hero die so easily.
Third: Conquer Siegfried and make him the blue side’s combat power and ▉▉▉.
With countless thoughts circulating in his mind, Shuo Yue's ghostly figure traveled through Romania at night. In his spiritual state, he quickly arrived at the place where Artoria was.
As the distance got closer, he could clearly feel the breath of the servants in the forest, but with the 'Breath Concealment' and 'Hades's Cloak' covering them, no one knew he had arrived.
And Shuo Yue didn't plan to show up immediately.
“If you want to make people despair, you must first give them hope.”
As the assassins move, the trajectory of magic gradually takes shape, surrounding the entanglement between the androids, servants, and magicians.
