Or, why don’t you find another savior?

Gray raised her hand at this time: "Actually, I know a little bit..."

After all, when she first stayed at Shiomi's house, she wanted to contribute more because she was living under someone else's roof, so she learned a lot.

"Me too." Kallen nodded.

"...Are we the only ones who won't get the result?" Ritsuka asked the director and Mashu.

"That's about right." Olga Marie couldn't deny it.

Siduri encouraged everyone at this time: "Let us work hard together with Lord Ereshkigal!"

"oh--!"

Chapter 65: Starlight

From the top of the sacred tower, you can see the light coming from the side hall. Just by looking from a distance, you can tell that it is very lively there.

Xi Jian couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.

Compared to the deserted Uruk at night, that light might be the meaning of the battle he would be engaged in tomorrow.

He raised his head and looked at the starry sky of the Age of Gods. The light of the Milky Way was so clear and beautiful.

"If you don't mind, how about showing up and chatting with me, old man?"

A breeze blew across his body, and after sensing a certain presence, Shiomi invited him in a calm tone.

Then, the first generation Hassan Sabah slowly walked out from the night.

"Thank you very much." Xi Jian said softly, but did not stand up.

Because the other party does not care about such subtle etiquette and will only show up for the people he should meet, the words he should say, and the things he should do.

The same is true at this moment.

"Have you made up your mind?"

"Beast II, I know very well what it means that the primordial mother Tiamat has appeared in this class." Shiomi put away his smile and looked seriously towards the Persian Gulf in the south of Uruk. "I just want you to stop for a moment and let me handle the matter of Tiamat... your mother."

He had read the information about the Clock Tower at the London singularity, and after returning to Chaldea, he also privately exchanged information on this with Romani.

The heroic spirit calls.

The embodiment of the top seven classes in human history, summoned by the restraining force only to deal with special disasters.

And that disaster is the Beast.

Now that this first-generation assassin has appeared here and Tiamat has awakened, Shiomi understands the connection even more clearly.

Grand Assassin and Beast II, the old man is here to solve this problem that even Romani said is impossible.

The only solution to the problem of the non-existence of the concept of "death".

"We servants respond to the call of the restraining force and come to this world for the continuation of primates. If your thoughts can communicate with the will of the original mother and retreat the tide that erodes the earth, I will not wield the sword in my hand." The old man replied.

Xi Jian smiled and said, "Do you agree?"

"You are also one of the last humans, and I will listen to your request. But if what you ask cannot be fulfilled, I will fulfill my duty at that time," said the old man.

"That's enough." Shiomi nodded. "I don't think it's wrong to abandon the original mother. But... if there is a better way, if my idea is correct... there should be a better result between humans and their mother."

Shiomi's voice melted into the night wind, but there was no response.

The figure of the old man in the mountains disappeared into the inky night, and Shiomi only noticed him after he left.

Therefore, it was Morgan who responded to his words instead.

"The choices made in human history represent the general will of mankind, and their purpose is to ensure the continuation of primates. But it does not mean that everyone needs to be completely consistent with it," Morgan said. "So my husband can naturally choose other options."

"Yeah." Xijian nodded.

A pair of cold and round arms wrapped around his neck and chest. Morgan bit Shiomi's earlobe affectionately, and his long silver hair fell to his chest.

"Who are you talking to?" Morgan also noticed.

"Grand Assassin, the first generation of the Old Man of the Mountains." Shiomi told the truth.

"Is that so? The appearance of the Grand Servant may have already doomed Tiamat's awakening." Morgan understood and could only sigh, "Will you feel disappointed, as if everyone's efforts were completely in vain?"

"No, maybe this is a good opportunity for me to face myself now." Xi Jian held the back of her hand, "No matter as a person or as something else."

Morgan couldn't help laughing: "My husband is really amazing. In order to confirm his own existence, he actually chose to face the original mother directly... Will he get the answer you want that way?"

"You'll know only when you see it in person." Xi Jian tilted his head slightly and whispered in her ear, "Whether you're facing a god or a human, you can't communicate with someone you're angry with. So—"

"So we need to fight and weaken Tiamat's power as much as possible. Only in this way can we avoid being swallowed by the opponent's anger." Morgan smiled.

"Thank you." said Shiomi.

"Ah."

Although she wanted to say that he didn't need to be so polite, Morgan knew that he was not being polite, and his thanks always made her heart flutter every time they echoed in her ears.

"It feels like time is passing so fast..." Xijian said suddenly.

"Yes, when the work in this singularity is finished, we will have to face the false Magic King." Morgan rubbed his cheek with the tip of his nose, feeling the transfer of their body temperature.

"Thank you for accompanying me all the way here. Thank you for your hard work." Xijian said with emotion.

"It was very hard, but I was also very happy. Although there were a lot of people getting in the way, it was a great experience to be able to embark on this journey together."

“Uh, hahahaha…” Xijian could only laugh.

"Why is my husband afraid? He didn't have this reaction even on the battlefield?" Morgan teased Xi Jian leisurely, "You are also a father, how can you be so timid?"

Shiomi looked up at the sky, as if she was going to die soon: "Because now you can break my neck with just a little movement. It takes a lot of time to come back to life. It would be bad if I missed the battle."

"Hehe~" Morgan lowered his head and kissed the side of his neck.

"Huh...it's a little itchy." Xijian shrank his neck.

"I was just imitating my husband's daily behavior. Are you so ticklish?" Morgan was surprised as if she had found a new toy.

After all, she doesn't need to spend any effort to please him. They are happy together. She doesn't actually know some of his "weaknesses".

"I can't say I'm ticklish, I just feel weird, like I'm going to become a waste." Xi Jian explained cheerfully, "I'm the type who indulges in pleasure and forgets about responsibilities and ambitions."

Morgan became interested: "Well...if my husband becomes that kind of person..."

"You're probably going to leave me soon." Xijian's sad kiss was quite artificial.

"No, I think it's pretty good. After all, it's a very fulfilling thing to personally polish the man you love until there is not even a single edge left." Morgan smiled happily.

"Your personality is indeed a bit bad." Shiomi teased.

"It's too late to notice it now." Morgan leisurely tightened his arms and hugged him tighter.

"Then let me stay late forever, until the end of this planet." Shiomi laughed happily.

"It will remain the same even after the planet ends."

Morgan also let out a stubborn hum, as slow and gentle as the wind blowing across the Mesopotamian plains at this moment.

Chapter 66: Drinking

The throne that originally belonged to the King of Uruk has lost its previous appearance and has been completely transformed into a throne of a different style.

In front of the throne, the key Twelve Holy Lance were set up. Once activated, they would undoubtedly become extremely powerful defensive weapons.

What is more crucial is the idea of ​​transforming the divine tower into a large-scale magic ceremonial costume.

There is no doubt that Morgan is a top talent as a magician.

"What a groundbreaking design concept... You are worthy of it." Xi Jian couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart, "I am even a little jealous of your talent, Morgan."

He stroked the throne carefully, fearing that he would accidentally destroy this perfect structure.

What do you mean it was a hastily completed work... Even if Xi Jian was given ten times more time, he might not be able to do it so well.

"It is indeed unprecedented. She is indeed a magical genius who is superior to all others." Scathach's voice sounded.

Xi Jian was stunned: "Why is Master here?"

The throne has been completed, and the only things left are the details, which will be automatically completed using the completed ritual.

Originally, Morgan was supposed to personally see to the completion of these details, but now Shiomi was staying behind, and Morgan was persuaded by Shiomi to take a rest.

After all, I lay down for ten days in a row, and after coming back in the afternoon, I lay down for at least three hours again.

Even if Xi Jian wanted to sleep, she couldn't.

"Like you, I don't feel like sleeping, so I'm looking for someone to drink with me." Scathach shook the pottery pot, and held two wooden cups in her other hand. The pottery pot swayed slightly, and it was known that it was full of beer. "My beloved disciple, are you willing to drink with Master?"

"A small drink is no problem at all." Xijian smiled.

Then the master and disciple sat in front of the throne and drank beer.

The throne, which originally faced north, now faced south in order to face Tiamat coming from the Persian Gulf directly, and allow Morgan to accurately activate this secret weapon after Tiamat finally entered Uruk.

"But having said that, it really surprises this master that my beloved disciple would sometimes be jealous of others in magic." While pouring the wine, Scathach whispered to him teasingly.

Shiomi almost spilled the beer that was about to reach his mouth. "It's just a metaphor. Besides, I'm not the most talented disciple around Master."

"Not necessarily. You have indeed practiced with me for a longer time than any of my past disciples, but that doesn't mean you are less talented than those guys." Scathach clinked glasses with Xi Jian. "The fact that you have gained power by your own efforts alone would make Master jealous of you."

"...That seems to be true." Xijian sighed.

He reached out his hand and put it around Scathach's shoulders, caressing her arms and waist unintentionally. Scathach also naturally snuggled in his beloved disciple's arms and filled his glass with wine.

"The night view of Uruk has become so deserted." Xi Jian sighed, "When I first came here, the city was still lit up even at night."

Scathach raised her glass and pointed towards the Persian Gulf: "The Mother of Monsters is there, and the people of Uruk... or Mesopotamia, are all gathered at the northern wall for refuge. As long as we win, the city will wake up."

"Yeah." Xijian nodded, and he got closer to his master.

Although the night was not cold, it still made people want to get closer.

"In fact, I was also scared when you were carried back covered in blood ten days ago." Scathach said, "The children thought you were just injured, but I knew what happened. I had to remain calm and comfort them so as not to shake the morale of the army."

"Are you going to blame me?" Xijian asked.

Scathach sipped her beer and said, "No, I just want to let my beloved disciple know that the master does not care about you."

"I already know." Xi Jian's heart softened. "In fact, if I woke up during the day and saw Master beside my bed, and there was a war on the northern wall, I would probably rush to the battlefield as fast as I could."

Knowing that his master and Altria were on the northern city wall, Shiomi was able to have some time to remain calm and quickly reach the battlefield.

"So Morgan has no choice but to stay." Scathach smiled and drank the beer sip by sip.

Shiomi caught a glimpse of his master's throat moving slightly. His master had almost finished the pot of beer by himself, but Shiomi himself had only taken a sip of the second cup.

"Master said he wanted to drink with me, but I seem to be drinking alone."

"No, you can't drink that much. If you drink too much, I'm afraid you won't be able to set off on time tomorrow." Scathach grabbed the flagon and poured it into the cup, but found that it was empty, with only a little bit of residual wine falling into the cup. "So Master can only enjoy this beer from the Age of Gods for you."

"Then you might as well not look for me." Xi Jian curled his lips, and he picked up the wine glass, "I won't share it with Master, this glass is mine."

"Well, it's yours." Scathach watched Xi Jian sip the beer, and then suddenly called out, "Wait a minute, don't swallow it yet--"

"?" Xi Jian had wine in his mouth and couldn't make a sound. He could only look at his master in confusion.

Then Scathach came up and pried open his lips.

Shiomi felt that the beer in his mouth was being plundered bit by bit, and in the end, less than half of it actually went into his stomach.

“…Master…” Xijian also smiled.

"Hmm...it doesn't taste too bad. Maybe it would be better if we drank it this way." Scathach seemed to be seriously judging the way of drinking.

"It's a waste to drink like this." Shiomi looked at the master's clothes that were soaked with beer, "and the smell of beer will be everywhere. People will misunderstand that the master is a drunkard."

"A first-class warrior must be good at drinking." Scathach stared at Shiomi with her red eyes.

"Well, I'm not good at drinking, so I can't be considered top-notch. It's a disgrace to my master." Xi Jian put on an expression of enlightenment.

"Being able to drink is not a necessary condition for being a first-class warrior." Scathach wiped Shiomi's chin with her fingers, "Besides, a warrior like you who has the courage to attack the master can also be considered first-class."

"The standards are so casual." Xijian sighed.

"It depends on the individual and we should teach according to the student's aptitude." Scathach explained calmly.

"Please teach me something good... I only learned how to kill people from my master." Xijian made a joke.

"I also taught you how to be a man," said Scathach.
