Yes, the Holy Grail War has ended. Although it was a very difficult battle, now that it is over, the Command Seal has become meaningless.
“How about you all ask the church to pay the fees? As long as I pay the money and receive the Command Spells——”
The afternoon sun illuminated the hazy smoke in the room and the blurred faces of the magicians, as if the world itself was a bizarre dream.
The meaningless command spell was exchanged for a lifetime of wealth.
This is a high reward that no one can refuse. The church is really stupid and treats such waste as treasure.
Just when the masters were immersed in fantasy and were about to hand over the crucial 'one', ridicule and sneer appeared from nowhere. An invisible familiar came from the other side and easily invaded a certain magician. inside the body.
Destroy his brain, take root in it, transform it into someone's sibling, someone's doll.
"Tuk-tuk."
The sound of knocking on the table broke the meaningless peace. In the warm sunshine, a magician closed his eyes to cover up the dark color flowing in his eyes.
"The Holy Grail War is over, but the servants have not been taken back by the Holy Grail, right?"
Without breaking the illusion woven by Amakusa, the magician controlled by Sakutsuki just smiled, just like thousands of greedy humans who don't know when to stop, and opened Pandora's box:
"If the Command Seal is still there, these highest-level familiars themselves are priceless assets... aren't they?"
Servant, the crystallization of the Heroic Soul Seat, the embodiment of fantasy.
In the modern world, who can stop these monsters?
Everything in modern times, what can’t be obtained with the help of them?
How insignificant is the compensation provided by the church compared to its followers?
Then the peaceful atmosphere disappeared completely, and the magicians no longer concealed the darkness in their hearts. They whispered to each other, tested each other, and used words and ugly behaviors to weave the shadows of greedy beasts. The vicious beasts crossed the sea, bared their fangs and claws, and laughed at the only saint in the field.
Want more, want better.
Killing, looting, and trampling on corpses as they climbed up.
This is the evil of mankind, the essence that no poison can cure.
The smile disappeared from Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's face, and for a moment, he showed his true nature as a saint, revealing boiling murderous intent towards the magi whose smiles had collapsed.
But the saint's angry look disappeared in a flash, and Amakusa picked up the teapot expressionlessly. As the tea poured out, mist mixed with poisonous smoke emerged again, paralyzing the will of the magicians once again.
After drinking all the black tea in the cup, suppressing the burning fire in his heart, Amakusa bowed silently and walked out of this ugly room.
"This is the nature of human beings. You should know it very well."
The empress in black dress was already leaning against the door, casting a lazy look at the young saint: "Although it was unexpected, as a magician, I will stretch my hand to wherever I can get an advantage - haha, about this, So am I."
The empress, Semiramis, was a vicious woman who rose to the throne by stepping on two generations of husbands.
Although he is not good at magic, his essence as a magician has never changed.
I'm just surprised that they haven't been completely controlled yet." Facing the seemingly mocking but actually caring words of the empress, Amakusa laughed and shook his head, "But it doesn't matter, I believe in your treasure, they will fall sooner or later."
Only by wresting the Command Seal from them can Kurenai truly become the one and only one of his, Shirou Tokisada, Amakusa.
The Empress's Noble Phantasm is about to be completed, and when everything is ready - that's when his wish will begin to come true.
After taking one last deep look at the room, Amakusa turned around and strode away without looking back.
As he fantasizes about the future like this, isn't he poisoned by the word "wishes"?
It's a pity that this is the last time he meets these masters.
"Is it originally in the unformed sky courtyard? No wonder it has never been found."
Shuoyue put down the display screen and tapped his thigh rhythmically with his fingers.
Amakusa has been trying very hard to guard against him. Any surveillance related to magic has been cleared by him and the Empress. Even the surveillance cameras that Shuoyue placed in the church with a little luck and temptation were found and destroyed.
Regarding this battle between surveillance and counter-surveillance, neither Amakusa nor Sakuyue mentioned it directly to each other. They just had a tacit understanding of how to deal with each other, and it would not affect their cooperation.
But there is only one winner in the end, and that is Shuo Yue.
In this intelligence battle, he successfully found out the location of the red masters.
"After all, even if you, Amakusa, understand the technology of this era, the science and technology of a few decades later will be much more changed than the mysterious world."
After whispering, Shuo Yue stood up and returned to the restaurant.
At the dinner table, Joan of Arc was chatting happily with the android girl. The first words Shuo Yue heard were:
How about this name, Sieg?"
The android who was asking so earnestly, after noticing the arrival of the new moon, turned his gaze to him and silently asked for his opinion.
Sensing Shuoyue's doubts, Jeanne smiled and explained, "Since you can live a healthy life, you can't live without a name. You can't keep calling it 'artificial man'."
"I've heard your story from last night. Both Hei, who took the child out of the city, and Hei, who was determined to sacrifice himself to save her, fully demonstrated what it means to be a hero. I think it's no surprise that the child named himself 'Sieg'."
Sieg, Siegfried.
Obviously this is the name the artificial man chose for himself in order to commemorate the hero who was willing to sacrifice his life.
"How do you feel, Shuo Yue, does this name sound good to you?"
Master? "
Two expectant gazes fell on Shuoyue, and the young man's eyes hid a little helplessness, but he finally nodded.
"Yes, that's a nice name."
Chapter 442: Everyone sets off, the dream of Lion Tribulation
Chapter 443: Everyone sets off, the dream of Lion Tribulation
A name is the shortest curse in the world.
Just like what Seimei said to Minamoto Boya in "Onmyoji", the shortest curse in the world is 'name'.
A name means existence; from being nameless to being famous is the process from not having to having.
Whoever you believe you are, you are likely to become; if you keep defining a certain "name" for your future, your future will be affected by this curse and develop in that direction.
This philosophical theory is also applicable to the android girl, Sieg. Since she chose to imitate his name because of her admiration for the great hero, it means that Sieg's life is destined to be extraordinary.
In the original work, the artificial man who inherited this name returned to the battlefield, and eventually transformed into a dragon, bringing the Great Holy Grail to the inside of the Holy Grail. Is it also because of the influence of this name? "
Sakatsuki didn't know, but since he was determined to treat her as a pawn to mess up Black, he shouldn't have given her a name.
Perhaps it was a closed loop of fate. In the short period of time he left, the android girl became Sieg again under the guidance of Joan of Arc.
Looking at Sieg, who had silver hair, red eyes and a delicate face, Shuoyue sighed helplessly and said straight to the point: "I plan to leave."
He and Lingxia had already made preparations to lure both the red and black parties to Sighisoara. As the mastermind behind the scenes, it was time for him to set out to coordinate the overall situation.
"But Sieg, you can't go with me next."
The artificial man opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Shuo Yue: "Don't forget, you are the master of the black side now, and I, as the red side's camp, am hostile."
"Wait." Jeanne didn't sound right. "Sieg hasn't decided to go to the Black Side yet, right? She just escaped from there, right?"
However, as soon as Jeanne finished speaking, the artificial man raised his hand and said weakly:
"Well, Miss Joan of Arc, I thought about it and decided to go back."
"Why?" Joan was in disbelief, "You have already achieved a stable life? This village will not be affected by the war of the Holy Grail War. You can even use that place as a springboard to travel to other countries and travel the world. , but why..."
Why choose to return to the cruel battlefield?
"Because my wish is there. Facing the gaze of the Judge, the android named 'Sieg' lowered his eyes and stared at the Command Seal on the back of his hand, "I know that as long as I take a step forward, I can get such a day. I can survive, get something, or even find hope from it. "
It was for this step that a hero healed himself, and a hero gave her life and walked side by side with him.
Everything is leading up to this step.
However, in the process of pursuing freedom, the artificial man discovered that he had been changed unknowingly.
"Although I'm sorry for the heroes who saved me, my wish is not just to survive."
As Sieg said this, he recalled the compatriots that Shuoyue had mentioned to him on the road.
Existing as consumables, welcoming meaningless death, as if this is their only way back...
"Soaked in the rotten juice, you can only be worried all day long. Death is a certain event in the future, which is common to all things, but if it is stipulated that nothing can be done even in the process of reaching death, then it is really It’s so unreasonable and so sad.”
It was hard to imagine that Sieg, who strictly speaking only had a few days to live, would speak his mind so frankly in front of Jeanne and Shuoyue.
"Just as I was saved, I want to save them. If I do that, I feel I can have a clear conscience even if I meet them again. I can hold my head high and say that I helped everyone who was seeking freedom—"
"Besides that, you actually want to reunite with Kuro, right?"
Joan of Arc stared at Sieg intently and saw the shy smile on her face after she mentioned it.
Ah, how could she ignore the most basic emotions of a human being?
"My thoughts about that young lady knight (note: the title is correct)... what a precious emotion.
Joan of Arc, who was talking to herself like this, couldn't help but darken her face.
This is not what Kuro Astolfo wants the android to do, right? However, putting aside unnecessary emotions, she is running around in this Holy Grail War as a judge.
"In this case, I will not stop your actions, Miss Sieg. You are born to be associated with this Holy Grail War. Of course, I hope to respect your intentions and hope that you will be rewarded in your future actions. As you wish.”
Having said that, Joan of Arc turned her head and looked at Shuoyue who was smiling with satisfaction, and couldn't help pouting.
"As for Mr. Shuo Yue...why are you smiling so happily?"
Naturally, it’s because Sieg’s actions are in line with my expectations... Shuo Yue put away the expression on her face and looked at the artificial man who was about to set off seriously: "Since you have made up your mind, as a teacher, let me Let me teach you another lesson."
The afternoon sun was warm and intense. The young man stood in the shadow of the house and whispered softly:
"You need to make your status clear, Sieg. You are not the protagonist who saves the world, but a pioneer who stands up for the survival of artificial humans. That's all."
"Life is not special. Once we are on the battlefield, we are also likely to be consumed."
“Don’t die before your wish is fulfilled, Sieg.” Shuoyue looked at the Command Seal on the back of the android’s hand and said meaningfully, “Hold the power in your hands, so that you will have the qualifications to stand on the field.”
Sieg is out, heading to Black to save his compatriots.
Joan of Arc left. As a judge, she was destined to move to the place where the heroic spirits gathered.
And after bidding farewell to old man Selsou, Shuoyue also set off towards Sighisoara.
But at the end of the road, the young man looked back with emotion. What happened in that small house still fluttered like a beautiful butterfly's wings, stirring up a storm in his calm heart.
"A saint who is cute and easy to bully..."
He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and wiped it away with dissatisfaction. The ruthless and indifferent assassin lifted up his black robe, and the white-gold spirit floated away, disappearing in an instant.
Along with the wounds that have never healed.
And even Shuo Yue didn't know that this morning, a mercenary who had experienced blood and fire had a dream.
In his dream, he saw Great Britain in the distant old days.
Participants in the Holy Grail War often have dreams, probably because they are connected to the deeper spiritual parts of each other.
They read each other's past in the form of dreams. This phenomenon occurred from time to time during the Third Holy Grail War and the Subspecies Holy Grail War.
——So, even if Lion Jie Jieli found himself suddenly on the battlefield, he was not surprised at all.
Well, this kind of thing can happen.”
This should be his own Mordred's past. When he came to his senses, she was standing beside him. In her hand was her favorite weapon that had also come in handy in this Holy Grail War - the shining and glittering Sword of the King.
Originally, this was not her weapon. This is the sword that belongs to King Arthur and is kept in the arsenal. It can be called a symbol of the throne.
Mordred seized the sword, proclaimed himself king, and sparked a massive rebellion. And now, she holds it in her hands and challenges King Arthur in front of her.
"In other words, is this Kamran?"
Yes, this is Camlan's Hill - the battlefield where the rebellious knight Mordred and King Arthur had their final battle. The gorgeous knight story ended because of this miserable war.
The arrows fired pierced the soldiers wearing light armor. But Mordred, whose whole body was covered in steel, ignored all the attacks and charged forward blindly.
King Arthur unified Great Britain with his unparalleled leadership qualities. But why did so many soldiers support Mordred's rebellion?
The great cause of reunification is about to be completed, and war weariness in the country is also spreading - this is one of the reasons.
The scandal between Lancelot, the 'Knight of the Lake' who was praised as flawless, and Princess Guinevere led to the collapse of the king's authority - this is one of the reasons.
The knights had a strange fear and even slander towards the king who was too honest and had no personal feelings - this was one of the reasons.
However, there is another point, and that is the knight himself who rebelled against the royal authority.
