In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

The moment he heard the name, Ian felt it sounded familiar.

Soon, he remembered.

That was the period before Leif caused the big explosion, and the entire Chaldea was executing its own "Master Watch Plan" - a plan that allowed several Masters to form several groups to protect each other.

At that time, I had seen this name in the information sent by Akai Hinako.

and so--

Is she actually a heroic spirit?

The moment he realized this, Ian felt that something was a little wrong.

And this conjecture was soon verified.

Jing Ke continued, "Alas, I came here to kill Nero... but now I can't see her anyway. It's so painful!"

Hearing this, Ian first stopped Boudica beside him, and then asked Jing Ke in return.

"Do you have a grudge against her? Do you have to kill her?"

"I have no hatred against her." Jing Ke said his inner thoughts very frankly, "But since I have been summoned to this era, I should at least do something for those who are oppressed by the emperor in this era!"

It is indeed a heroic spirit.

Ian realized that this might be the key to breaking the deadlock.

"Jing Ke, do you know who summoned you?"

"I don't know." Jing Ke shook his head very directly, "I just felt that the way she summoned me was not so right, and it could even be said to be a bit crooked."

"But when I think about killing the incompetent emperor, this kind of thing doesn't matter."

"..."

Jing Kexia had her reasons for saying this - she once wanted to assassinate Qin Shi Huang, but ultimately failed.

Now that she has come to this era in Rome, killing Nero may become her way of making up for her regrets.

and……

Ian looked at the dagger lying next to Jing Ke.

If this is the case, Jing Ke appeared to assassinate Nero... then there is one person whose wish obviously fits this idea.

That’s right, that was Agrippina, Nero’s biological mother, a vicious woman who had tried to kill her daughter many times.

This is the person most likely to summon Jing Ke at the singularity.

but--

Didn't she die a long time ago?

and many more.

Memories of his time living in Rome emerged in Ian's mind.

Leif is here too!!!

Although it is not known what means he used to achieve Agrippina's resurrection, since he had been to this era, he would be the most likely person to do such a thing.

Thinking of this, Ian asked Jing Ke another question.

"Then why are you so drunk—so drunk that you don't feel dizzy?"

This question is not asked casually.

There must be a reason why Agrippina could summon a drunken hero.

"How could I be so dizzy?"

Jing Ke held his dagger and appeared very confident.

"For me, alcohol is the best weapon to boost my courage. No matter how much I drink, I will never get drunk!"

"A weapon to boost your courage?"

"Yup!"

Jing Ke looked towards the place where Boudica's chariot was parked, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

"A lot of strange shadows appeared last night - they attacked me at first, but after I finished drinking, they were no longer hostile."

"And then... I met you guys."

"..."

Everything connected at this moment.

These dark shadows that appeared outside Hadrian's Wall were probably related to Agrippina.

The loss of hostility was probably because they recognized Jing Ke.

This vicious woman is truly cruel and ruthless... Even after being resurrected, she still wants to kill her own daughter.

but--

Ian looked at Jing Ke and realized that she might be the key to solving the problem.

He leaned close to Boudica's ear and whispered softly.

"Boudica, I want to discuss something with you."

"What is it?" the Queen responded quickly.

"I say...how about we stay out for another night?"

"what?!"

"..."

Boudica looked at Ian for a long time. After confirming that he was not joking with her, she answered:

“Seneca, are you sure you want to do this… What exactly is the black shadow? We haven’t figured it out yet. If we just stay here, there might be some unexpected risks.”

Ian knew that Boudica was not a coward - after all, she would really lead the charge as the Queen of Britannia.

The reason I say this now is that I just don’t want any unnecessary sacrifices to occur.

However, Ian's attitude was very decisive. He took the hand of his "fiancée" Boudica.

"Yes, Boudica, I know it's dangerous - but sooner or later we will have to face them."

"You should know that it is impractical to defend Hadrian's Wall forever."

"..."

Boudica remained silent.

She certainly knew how torturous it was to maintain such a high level of defense for a long time.

Perhaps because she wanted to stand on the same side as her lover, or perhaps out of her sense of responsibility towards Britannia, the queen finally nodded.

"I understand - in that case, I'll go with you!"

Ian knew how much courage it took for Boudica to say such a thing - this was an enemy she had been fighting for a whole year, and now she had finally made up her mind to explore its source.

The man knows that he can never betray this trust.

His eyes fell on Jing Ke who was standing beside him.

"What do you want to do?"

The girl felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and subconsciously stepped back a little.

"Why are you looking at me like that - it's a bit scary, you know?"

"Well, if you feel that way, I apologize."

"but--"

Ian's eyes became more serious, which was the reaction he would have when he was determined to accomplish something.

"I need your help now, Jing Ke."

"Need my help?"

Looking at the man in front of him who exuded decisiveness, Jing Ke's throat moved slightly.

"You...what do you mean? You should know that I'm not as powerful as you - are you sure you want me to help you like this?"

Although he said he would be ruthless just now, in his heart Jing Ke actually admired anyone who could defeat him in a duel.

after all--

If someone can beat you, it means you are far from reaching your limit and there is still room for improvement.

The more powerful the person who defeats you is, the greater the room for improvement!

"I know." Ian nodded, "But in this situation, only someone like you can help me."

In the next few minutes, Ian told Jing Ke about the shadows in a relatively tactful way.

After hearing all this, the girl in white's expression gradually changed from uneasiness at the beginning to surprise.

"You mean... those dark shadows last night were actually the ones that brought disaster to this era, and I was in cahoots with them?"

"So that's true," Ian said directly. "But if you can help us, then you are not in the same group with them, and naturally you are not a threat to people."

"..."

Jing Ke's face was tense, and it was obvious that these contents had caused her a great psychological impact.

Just think about it, this is not surprising.

The young female assassin, who originally intended to eliminate the evil for the people of this era, finally found herself in cahoots with the evildoer, which was more or less hard to accept.

"You are not lying to me, are you?" Jing Ke tightened his grip on the dagger. "I hate being deceived the most."

"If that's the case, I'll make you pay for it even at the cost of my life."

"There is no need for us to lie to you about this." Boudica said sincerely, "In fact, I have led the people of Britannia to resist the shadow for more than a year."

"Jing Ke, if possible, please help the people of Britannia."

"..."

Looking at Boudica who had just untied him, Jing Ke was obviously shaken.

After a long silence, she nodded, indicating that she had decided to help both of them.

"I understand - in that case, please allow me to lend you a hand."

"That's great!" Boudica was very happy to hear this.

But this emotion didn't last long because she thought of other things.

"Speaking of which-"

The Queen of Britannia looked at her "fiancé" beside her

"What exactly should we do next?"

"Let's wait until night."

Ian's eyes fell on the chariot beside him.
