"Hmph, have you discovered it?"
As Amakusa said, his purpose is to relieve itself, and what happens next is not in his list of plans. Whether Semiramis becomes the empress and rules the world or does anything else, it has nothing to do with Amakusa Shiro Tokisada who fulfilled her wish.
"I mean, it's okay for you to be the king after that?"
"Well, let's wait until then to decide."
Amakusa smiled, said that she wanted to go and take a look at the Greater Holy Grail, then turned and left. Looking at his back from afar, the beautiful face of the empress was covered with a layer of distressed expression.
"There's really no way around it. It's really difficult to deal with a desireless person. Not only is he not interested in money, he's also indifferent to power. Even women can't move him."
To the Assyrian empress, men were just toys, and countless people lost everything because of her instigation.
At the same time, women are limited to their own existence for her. Of course, the existence of a female is necessary for pregnancy, but it is her privilege to exist as a woman and be able to manipulate men as she pleases.
——From the very beginning, she could only live that kind of life.
Looking back, that was when she was just born. Although her memory was very vague, she still clearly remembered the back of the woman who hurriedly fled into the river after abandoning her.
Her mother, the fish god Dilicit, had an affair with an Assyrian man and became pregnant with a daughter. And that child was Semiramis.
You are my disgrace, she said; having a child with a human being is her disgrace, and the goddess made this clear.
What a stupid woman, Semiramis thought later, you are the one who failed to resist the temptation of men.
Her mother abandoned her like this, and her father was killed for this. However, she survived under the care of pigeons, who wrapped themselves in their wings and fed her milk in their mouths.
Semiramis grew up like this, and then ten years later, she was discovered by a man herding herds.
In this way, the future empress entered the human world, but her inner being was already complete.
She hates women—even a god will show no mercy to lazy and cowardly women who are manipulated by men.
She laughed at men - they always bully women, but in fact they are just full of animalistic desires, and they should be the ones to be played with.
That was her philosophy, her understanding of the world. So, how should we understand our current master, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.
"Neither a woman nor a man...it's such an unclear existence, really."
He was unmoved by his charming smile, and refused the temptation of power without hesitation. Human beings are originally creatures full of desires, but that boy had no selfish desires. The relief of all mankind cannot be summarized in terms of "desire" alone.
If you really want to describe it, there is no doubt that it can only be described as "crazy". It is precisely because of this that the empress finds it very interesting to be with him.
It would be great if sixty years of long-cherished wish came true.
But if they were defeated due to lack of strength - that would also be very interesting. She was also very interested in how desperate the saint would be after his dream was shattered and what kind of ending he would end up in.
"So, which situation is more interesting?"
Semiramis laughed to herself for a while, then suddenly stopped daydreaming. Her eyes were empty, connected to a surveillance technique somewhere in the courtyard.
——In the picture presented by the technique, a natural and beautiful woman wearing an emerald green dress approached her master.
"Sixth Director Lingxia..."
The next moment, she lost her sense of the monitoring technique.
The Holy Grail still maintained its pure glory. Although the rough method of the Moon had caused damage to it, it was not enough to cause any problems.
The former judge, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, was very familiar with this Great Holy Grail.
Tousaka, who abandoned the Holy Grail and tried to trace the source from another direction; Makiri, whose family was in decline and only passed on the Greater Holy Grail verbally. Amakusa spent a lot of money to buy information from these two families, and also obtained information about the principles and functions from Einzbern.
After sorting through the information obtained from the Gosan family, we learned that the Holy Grail's ability to grant wishes is only secondary. Its true identity is to enshrine the heroic spirits of the past as sacrifices, thereby punching a small hole to the outside of the world. .
And this is the reason why he seeks the Holy Grail.
Unconsciously, cold sweat broke out on the palms of both hands. Amakusa Shirou Tokisada slowly raised his arms. The hands that had created many miracles had now been sublimated into his Noble Phantasm, and at the same time, they were also the key to the Great Holy Grail.
There were footsteps behind him, and the young man immediately lowered his arms and turned around.
"It's you, Miss Sixth Director Lingxia, what's the matter?"
"I'm sorry, I just heard the conversation between you and Hong Zai Wang." Sixth Director Lingxia bowed and saluted, her tone respectful but straightforward, "You should have felt that the empress has a very special feeling for you."
"This is not an issue that should be discussed between us..."
"If you are worried about your Servant, it's okay. I have just blocked the surveillance in this room." Rokuda Reika looked at Amakusa with shining eyes, and it was hard to tell whether it was out of a woman's natural curiosity or another test as a magician.
However, if he doesn't answer seriously, this woman won't let him go, right?
After realizing this, Amakusa turned his head slightly and whispered: "...I can't respond to this relationship now."
Sixty years ago, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, who gained a body and a second life, was destined to live for 'human beings', and the love of a saint cannot be specific to a certain person, not even the empress who is the most powerful person. no.
"Really?" Lingxia smiled sweetly, as if she was thinking about something, but Amakusa no longer wanted to discuss this matter, so he hurriedly changed the subject.
"What are your plans next? Although I am very grateful for your joining, it is also true that our strength is insufficient."
"I know." Playing with her hair, Sixth Director Lingxia casually threw out her trump card, "So I plan to bring Hei back."
Black, Siegfried?
The dragon slayer who can be an enemy of Karna, the prince of the Netherlands, Siegfried? !
Take it back...don't tell me!
Tiancao was startled. He was about to say something when he heard hurried footsteps approaching from afar. The empress in a black robe appeared beside him, stretched out her hand to protect Tiancao, and looked at Lingxia vigilantly:
"What did you do? Why did you destroy the surveillance technique in my courtyard?"
"Calm down, I'm fine." Amakusa hadn't recovered from the information revealed by the Sixth Director Lingxia. He subconsciously pushed Semiramis away and looked at Lingxia with a serious face, "Are you telling the truth?"
In response to this, the sixth director Lingxia just responded with a sly smile, leaving enough room for suspicion to ferment, then turned around and left the sight of Amakusa and the Empress.
As soon as she stepped forward, she heard the empress' angry questioning voice and Amakusa's helpless explanation.
"A woman who wants to protect you with all her heart but is pushed away at the first moment is really hard to please~~" Lingxia, the Sixth Director who was somewhat stained with black, thought with evil taste. At the same time, she activated the communication and informed Shuoyue of what happened here.
"Pick up Siegfried...well, the time is right, send little Jack out too, I need her." After talking about this, Shuo Yue suddenly joked, "But, look at the nervous look on the empress's face, no Do you really care about Amakusa?"
"Do you need me to test it?"
"You?" A chuckle came from the other end of the communication line, "Is this a honey trap?"
"Ara, if this was a compliment to me, I would be shy, Mr. Sakuzuki?"
I'm kidding, you're not really going to do this? Hello? Hello!"
Chapter 498 Lend me your power
The character of Sixth Director Lingxia...has there been any changes compared to the original work?
In the platinum-colored light, Shuoyue was stunned for a long time before accepting the fact that the call was hung up by his "subordinate".
No, Higashide didn’t write much about her, let alone that she only had little Jack as her companion from beginning to end.
It's natural that she, who has gone through a lot of life, occasionally reveals her dark side besides being a lady, right?
Looking up from his meditation, what was reflected in Shuo Yue's eyes was the boundless rainbow-blue ocean tide.
Shuo Yue, sitting in the white-gold light ball, is like a rock rooted in the sea. Although it cannot be swallowed, it is helpless if it is blocked by someone stubbornly.
"But did he realize that when he tried to stop me, my glory was already reflected on the sea?"
Recalling the assassin's subtle changes, Shuoyue chuckled and closed his eyes, only the sighs still echoing in his soul space.
"The magical third method..."
In reality, the black-robed assassin was being dragged by the Saint Lady and the android girl, knocking on doors from house to house.
Of course, they didn't open the door to check the water meter or anything like that. Their actions at this moment all originated from the conversation between Shuoyue and Sieg a few minutes ago.
"You mean...power."
"Yes, power. In this world, power is everything."
Just when Joan almost thought that Shuo Yue was going to spread some dangerous remarks, she found that what he said was unexpectedly reasonable: "A big fist is the last word, dignity is only above the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the cannon - of course , I’m not saying I want you to become stronger blindly.”
"Social status, money and property, deep connections, and overwhelming power... There are too many things in this world that can represent 'power', and these powers are like chips. As long as the chips you have can suppress the Thousand World Tree, Artificial beings have a chance to be truly free."
"Of course, you can also call the so-called power strength, or something else, but no matter what, they all point to the same goal."
"Power, strength..." Sieg muttered to himself, holding the teacup in both hands. Shuoyue's theory was like a beacon, dispelling the fog ahead for her and making her realize that things were so simple.
The teacher is right. My worries, fears and despair about the future all stem from my lack of strength.
He and Astolfo were unable to fight against the Thousand World Tree, which had a profound foundation, because the strength of the two of them alone was not enough to overturn the Thousand World Tree's accumulation over countless years. That was all. In contrast, the methodology for solving the problem was It has already been understood.
I see, this is what the teacher meant from the beginning!
"Teacher!" The android girl stood up, enlightened, and under Jeanne's surprised gaze, she bowed to Shuo Yue.
"Please lend me your power!"
Facing the extremely sincere Siege, Shuo Yue calmly picked up the teacup.
"it is good."
As the tea smell rose, Siege raised her red eyes. Under the golden sunset, it was like a new picture of the future was reflected in her eyes, slowly unfolding.
When she doesn't have this power, she relies on the power of others - yes, just like she subconsciously sought Shuo Yue's help when she was at her most confused and desperate!
This is the teacher's original intention, so the teacher said, "The method is right in front of me." But I was too slow and didn't understand it at all.
Just realize it!
After some brainstorming, Siege's admiration for Shuo Yue skyrocketed, and Shuo Yue, under the starry eye offensive of Joan of Arc and Siege, had to bear the bitter consequences of being temporarily soft-hearted.
In order to better fight for the liberation of artificial humans, Sieg decided to go one step further and seek help from the heroes.
As the mentor of the leader of the android camp, Sakutsuki was forced to go door to door with Sieg and Jeanne to participate in Sieg's lobbying of the heroes.
I'm so stupid, really.
Why should I say anything more and my wonderful rest day is ruined...
Sitting opposite Chiron, Shuoyue thought expressionlessly, but looking at the girl's slightly trembling figure trying to straighten her back, he finally felt relieved.
At least, this kind of Sieg is much better than the android who is like the author's own son in the original plot. She does not have and does not need the excessive halo of the protagonist, because she is indeed working hard step by step to liberate her compatriots.
Just like the saint who listened to the revelation and stepped forward, the kind master who fought to regain the future, and the heroic leaders who created a new world from scratch, in Shuoyue's view, Sieg, who bravely expressed his demands and ideals face to face with the heroic spirits, already possessed some precious qualities.
The girl who admires the glory of heroes and follows their path will one day grow into one of the countless stars, right?
Thoughts that an assassin would never have were running through his mind, until the sage's words brought Shuoyue back to his senses.
"I understand, please let me praise you, Sieg."
The Centaur Sage looked at Sieg, his eyes gleaming with the gratification that only a teacher could have.
"I never expected that the girl who was rescued by Miss Lingxia has grown to what she is today. Ah, I also want to say thank you to you, Mr. Shuoyue."
"There's no need to thank me. I'm third-rate at teaching and educating people. I'm just interpreting my past life in words." Shuo Yue waved her hand, "So, you agree?"
"Of course." Chiron smiled and said, "Let me lobby the masters. I also believe that my master will extend a helping hand to the androids."
He held out his hand to Sieg, who quickly stood up, thanking the gentle sage with emotion and joy.
"Thank you...Thank you for all the time!"
——The outstretched hand fell into the air. In front of Sieg, who was smiling awkwardly, Achilles was shirtless. His body was extremely muscular after the exercise. The sweat evaporated and the heat wave hit his face.
"Didn't I tell you that I won't help Black with anything? Don't expect me to help you for the sake of my teacher."
As a warrior with near-godlike strength, Achilles' words were as unyielding as those of a god. But when Sieg pulled herself together and said goodbye to him with a smile, Achilles suddenly called her, came forward, and looked at her face carefully.
"Too close, Hong, please keep your distance." Jeanne pushed away with her heels mercilessly, but Achilles didn't care, he just laughed and distanced himself again.
"Although I have no interest in artificial humans, but hold your head high, girl named Sieg! The moment you stand in front of me, you are already a qualified hero. Keep going forward with your life!"
This is the blessing given to Siege by Achilles as a human being.
Artificial human? Come to think of it, I am also the creation of the demon concubine Morgan. "
In the room, Mordred and Lion Zed were packing their bags. After hearing Sieg's request, Mordred stood up and patted her shoulder carelessly.
"Just go ahead and do it, come on, I support you, how can you know the results if you don't try some things!"
"For example, if you wake me up at night and secretly watch a tokusatsu drama, you will be punished by having only vegetables for three meals a day." Lion complained without looking up.
"It's so noisy!" Mordred blushed and got angry. She pushed Sieg out of the door and slammed it shut. Then she complained in the room, "Master, why did you tell others about this?"
The door was closed, and Siege looked at Shuo Yue pleadingly. The young man shook his head helplessly, sighed, and kicked the door open.
"Meow Meow!" Ta Meow, who had stripped down to his underwear, hurriedly transformed into a spirit child, and reappeared neatly dressed, but could not hide the mess of the bed, as if it was a cat messing around.
