The Knight of the Second Generation of Demons Re-enacts

The latter's face was mostly obscured by the shadow cast by the hood, and the part that could barely be seen was also blocked by the mask.

Mashu could only tell from her plump figure that she was a woman. The occasional white skin that could be seen under her coat seemed to indicate that she looked very young in her prime.

In addition, for some reason, after Mashu focused her attention on the other person, she always felt that the other person gave her a somewhat familiar feeling, but she could not find the source of this feeling.

In the end, Mashu didn't think much about it and expressed her friendship to the other party.

"Hello."

"..."

The female heroic spirit stared at Mashu quietly for a while. This scrutiny with a hint of alienation in her gaze made the latter feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity again.

However, when Mashu tried to find the source of this feeling again, a hoarse voice came into her mind.

"Assassin, Lanling King, please give me your guidance."

"So it's Prince Lanling?"

Without doubting the truth of the other party's words, Mashu smiled knowingly.

"No wonder he's wearing a mask!"

Lanling King Gao Changgong, like Jing Ke, is a heroic spirit from the real history of the Celestial Empire. During his lifetime, he was a military general who served the State of Qi during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. He was praised as the military god of Qi because of his bravery and beauty that could rival that of a woman.

One of the most famous characteristics about Lanling King is that he often wore a mask to conceal his charm because of his gender-transcending beauty.

Mashu combined this rumor with the woman in front of her who claimed to be Lanling King, and couldn't help but think in her heart.

——So that’s how it is. The legendary beautiful appearance is because Miss Lanling Wang is originally a woman! Now it makes sense! 】

"That makes no sense at all!"

In the real world, on the distant Throne of Heroes, a handsome young man wearing a golden mask was almost suffocated by anger.

As the real King of Lanling, he was very concerned about his stunning looks that rivaled those of beautiful women, and even felt full of resentment about it.

Now, with this video, not only the Type-Moon world, but probably all the worlds will think that Lanling King is really a woman.

"Don't do this kind of thing!"

Seeing some shameless guys in the forum shouting "wife" to "Lanling King" in the video with ugly faces, Lanling King felt a chill all over his body for a moment.

And the worst thing is that Lanling Wang couldn't come out to clarify in the video that the person was not himself.

Because he had discovered that the guy who impersonated him was none other than an old acquaintance of his, one of his few friends.

Why did she choose to hide her identity and why did she subconsciously borrow her own name?

Prince Lanling knew everything, so he felt uncomfortable all of a sudden.

On the one hand, he could understand his friend's reasons for doing so, but on the other hand, he really didn't want to be treated as a woman by the world from now on. In short, he was very conflicted.

"About a friend who wore my vest to hang out, and I witnessed the whole thing."

Lanling Wang's state of mind at this moment is enough to be published as a light novel.

In another world line, in the Qin Lostbelt, the girl with glasses, who was in a similar mood, avoided the sharp gaze of her servant guiltily.

——What should I do?

——What should I do?

——Why was I summoned by a Heroic Spirit? Am I not immortal?

All kinds of doubts flashed through her not-so-bright brain one by one, a drop of cold sweat ran down her pretty face, and finally she focused on the most serious problem.

——Speaking of the me in the video, you won’t reveal your true identity, right?

Although Miss Jie Hinako had already had a vague premonition when Lord Xiang Yu (Huiji Zero Type) appeared in the plot, when she thought that after this plot was over, everyone in the world might know that her identity had been exposed, she couldn't help but let out the same cry as Lanling King.

"About the fact that I hid my identity for billions of years, but was suddenly exposed by a video. "

"Don't do this kind of thing!"

However, the video will not stop playing just because of other people's cries.

[After Lanling Wang (his so-called) finished his cold self-introduction, Mashu and Romani also spent some time to summarize their current combat power.

According to legend, there is the military talent of Lanling King, who was able to break through the encirclement of tens of thousands of enemy troops with only 500 cavalrymen and accomplished the feat of defeating the strong with the weak; Mordred, who has excellent individual combat capabilities and obvious strength; plus the assassin Jing Ke who has the ability to launch a special attack on the First Emperor; and the combat power of two Kamen Riders and 14 Eye Soul Heroes.

Although such a lineup is still not as strong as the Qin under investigation in terms of hard power, it is not without a chance of winning. If it is managed well, it can even directly reverse the current disadvantage.

Of course, Romani and others, and even most of the audience, do not know now how much of a surprise Miss Lanling Wang, whom they have entrusted with the important task of military advisor, will bring them in the future.

At this moment, they only felt that they had hope for the future. While Fujimaru Ritsuka and Himiko had not yet returned to the team, Emiya Shirou, who had been waiting for a long time, received a message from Sakamoto Ryoma's familiar.

In a village 20 kilometers away from the base, rumors of ghost hauntings have recently begun to spread.

Legend has it that every time the hour of midnight arrives, evil spirits holding sharp blades will roam the village, snatching away the souls of beautiful women.

679: Teenager (4k)

[Due to time constraints, after confirming the division of labor in the cave, Shirou Emiya and Miss Lanling Wang, who volunteered, followed the information left by Ryoma Sakamoto and arrived at the village with strange rumors at noon the next day.

"Is this the village mentioned in the intelligence?"

Using a telescope to observe the village that was very characteristic of the time, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but ask questions.

It’s no wonder that the red-haired young man is a little suspicious. No matter who comes from Chaldea, it is inevitable that they will have doubts about the current situation.

After all, after arriving at the Qin singularity, Chaldea and his party witnessed the Kuaiji Zero, a product that went beyond common sense. It was natural that they would subconsciously misunderstand and deviate from the current technological level of Qin.

The current environment of the village is far from showing the level of technological advancement that Shirou Emiya and his group from Chaldea had imagined, with all the conveniences of technology to enjoy. Not to mention any novel technological products, most of the houses in the village are still built almost entirely of thatch and fragile wood. Even though the materials used for several important facilities in the center of the village are more advanced, most of them are made of stone and mud, and they only look a little better than ordinary houses.

This gap in technical level made Emiya Shirou feel a little disconnected, and he had to look at the two people who came to support him in the hope of getting an answer.

Beside him stood a young man with his long black hair tied into a ponytail and a tall woman with long straight black hair. They were Ryoma Sakamoto and his wife Ms. Along, who had brought back the news.

However, Sakamoto Ryoma could not give an accurate answer to Emiya Shirou's question for a while. In fact, when he disguised himself as a wanderer of this era and collected information in several villages, he also asked these villagers similar questions indirectly, but he did not get an accurate answer.

At least at the civilian level, the villagers' level of knowledge is still very consistent with modern people's assumptions about this era.

Far away from the center of the country, most of the villagers devote their entire lives to farming and labor. Except for a few rich people and clan members, most people cannot even read or write.

Born, work, raise offspring, grow old and die, this is their life. No matter how advanced the technology the superiors master, the most advanced technical talents the people below will see in their entire lives are professions such as carpenters and blacksmiths.

"According to the investigation conducted by Aaron and I, the only place that has truly achieved a technological leap in the past three years is the capital of the Qin Dynasty, Xianyang. The First Emperor does not seem to intend to pass on the technology he has acquired to anyone. He only sends an army composed of mechanical devices to provide disaster relief when natural disasters or man-made disasters occur."

Recalling what some worldly-wise villagers called the "Imperial Army," Ryoma Sakamoto tried to summarize this phenomenon.

"The emperor must be restricting the spread of knowledge, so that the people under his rule can be kept in a state that is easy to control and satisfy."

"This……"

Shirou Emiya frowned slightly. The First Emperor's practice of restricting education made him, a modern man living in the 21st century, feel a little uncomfortable.

"This is a normal thing."

But Lanling Wang, who was also an ancient person from the Celestial Empire, spoke at this time.

“The First Emperor was indeed a being with a transcendent vision, but he ultimately did not escape the constraints of the long river of time. He was a human being active in this era.

Since he is a living person, his way of thinking and behavior will still be influenced by the mainstream of the world. And for a king like him, the knowledge that flows to his people has always been something that must be strictly controlled. "

As he spoke, Prince Lanling looked at a few children playing at the entrance of the village. The smiles on their faces did not diminish because of their ignorance.

"Under the leadership of the emperor, knowledge is not a necessity for the common people to survive. As long as they know how to farm, even if they don't understand the principles, they can still be the gears of the country and live happily and worry-free.

On the contrary, the birth of different ideas often makes the people have unnecessary ideas, making it more difficult to control, and it is natural to impose restrictions. The other party is the emperor who committed the atrocities of burning books and burying scholars, isn't it? "

Prince Lanling withdrew his gaze and looked at Shirou Emiya.

"Boy, I know that you, who come from the future, will not stand the monopoly of knowledge by the upper class, but this is the status quo of this era, and it is not something you can change. For now, it is better to take care of our own business."

"……you're right."

After a brief silence, Emiya Shirou shook his head and began to prepare for the next action.

According to prior arrangements, since Lanling King cannot take off his mask and it would easily attract the attention of people of this era, he will be on standby outside the village during this period of time. Sakamoto Ryoma and his partner, who are already familiar with the people in the village, will lead Emiya Shirou in disguise to enter and conduct an investigation.

When Sakamoto Ryoma was disguising and putting makeup on Emiya Shirou, Miss Along, who was standing next to Lanling King, couldn't help but look at the former.

"what happened?"

Perhaps feeling a little irritated by the gaze of a stranger, Lanling Wang looked back at A-long's light red eyes with a somewhat cold and stiff look.

"Nothing, Miss Aaron, I just feel that you give me a strange feeling. Are you really a human?"

"Humph, what can I do if it's not?"

Lanling Wang's tone seemed a little irritated about this question.

"You are the same, aren't you? Stop trying to pry into my secrets. To me, you are clearly a non-human mixed with humans. You are much weirder than me."

"How rude! It's only natural for Miss A Long to hang out with Long Ma. After all, Long Ma can't survive without Miss A Long. Miss A Long has to protect him well."

Aaron put one hand on her waist, made a "V" sign to Lanling King, and then shrugged. She herself didn't really care about anything other than Sakamoto Ryoma, and she just asked casually because she had the chance.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it. Anyway, now all you need to know is that you are my companion."

As she said this, she naturally put the conversation with Lanling King out of her mind and trotted a few steps to catch up with Sakamoto Ryoma who was calling her in disguise.

Instead, Lanling Wang looked at the other person's receding back, and a hint of unknown meaning flashed in his eyes beneath the mask. 】

However, this conversation between her and Aaron, which contained a lot of information, diverted the attention of the audience who were still discussing Daqin enthusiastically the previous second.

Baiyin's fried noodles today: What? This Lanling King is not only not a man, he is not even a human being?

Demonic appearance: 6.

Chaos Evil Gudako: I feel that the ancient heroes of the Celestial Empire are more and more strange.

Little Eggplant: Well, that’s true. It’s hard to refute.

Cancer of the Earth: Speaking of which, why was Sakamoto Ryoma summoned with his wife? Is this one Heroic Spirit or two?

Pirate Twins: I guess it counts as one. Some heroic spirits like us are often summoned out because of their deeds and stories, sharing the same heroic spirit base.

We can't study together: But, there is no famous story between Ryoma Sakamoto and his wife, right?

Restoration Dragon: Well, actually you can think of Ms. Long as my treasure.
