Chapter XVIII: Lancer
Although there were doubts in his heart, Shinji did not express it on his face. The mobile phone has no ads, and it saves the most data. After all, the identity of the servant was not confirmed, and if he recognized the wrong person, wouldn't it lower the evaluation in the other party's heart?
As a Moon Chef and a Moon Chef who fought in the Holy Grail War, Shinji knows better than anyone the importance of a master-slave rapport. The kind of master who doesn't care about the feelings of the followers, treats the other party as a slave, and drives wantonly, few have a good end.
Therefore, Shinji really wants to make a good first impression on his servants. With such a good start, it will be much easier to get along with them later.
I saw Shinji raise his head and raise his chest, and with the fullest posture, he met the pair of emerald eyes hidden behind the helmet, and said loudly: "I am your master, who called you to the world." ”
"You're a servant just like me. The tall female knight stared at Shinji, her gaze as sharp as a spear, as if she had seen through him completely.
"Who said that a servant can't be a master? Who said that an assassin can't be a magician? ”
Shen Er's face remained unchanged, and he was calm. Having been taught by the Queen of the Shadow Country, and talking about the royal road with the Hero King, the Conquest King, and the Knight King, Shinji now has considerable immunity to the majesty of the king.
The young man, who was both a servant and a master, rolled up the sleeve of his left hand, and on his arm, three bright red marks interwoven into a prismatic shape were clearly visible, which was the spell, the mark engraved on the master's body, and the embodiment of the master's coercive power on the servant.
"Do you still have any doubts when you see this, or do you need any other evidence?"
"No need. ”
The female knight shook her head, and the turn of her neck drove the helmet, rubbing against the unison cuirass with a slight creaking sound.
"No matter what way you do it, the fact that you are my Lord will not change. I'll help you with the gun of the end. At this point - the contract is complete!"
When he said the last sentence, the familiar feeling in Shinji's heart was stronger, but he remained cautious and didn't show it.
"I'm glad you recognized the pact between us, please advise, Lancer. ”
"Please advise, Master. The female knight's sharp gaze softened.
"Is there a small request you can make?"
"Speak. ”
"You may not know, but I didn't use a catalyst in the summoning ritual, so I don't know your identity and real name. If you can, could you please introduce yourself, it would be better if I could lift the battle state and let me see the lineup under the armor. ”
Shinji's request is actually very easy to understand, the two people who form a master-slave relationship will become a community of destiny, and some preliminary understanding is necessary. And, in order to dispel Lancer's vigilance, Shinji also specially added a sentence.
"Rest assured, there are no enemies around, and in the name of the Assassin, the two young ladies can be trusted. ”
Most servants will not shirk such reasonable requests, and Lancer is no exception.
The glittering spears and silver armor dissipated into particles of light, revealing the true nature of the female knight under heavy protection.
The scene of removing the armor was so impactful that Shinji's whole person froze.
The female knight in heavy armor and armed with a spear is so majestic and heroic.
And after the armor is removed, uh, uh - what to say, it's hard not to think about it.
Underneath the armor is a dark blue lining - there's nothing wrong with that, there's nothing wrong with wearing armor without a lining, and the feeling of steel rubbing directly against the skin won't want to try a second time after trying it once.
The question is the style of the lining.
Lifting the hips, cinching the waist, and binding the chest, that's all, the right is designed to be convenient for immediate combat.
But what is the matter with the opening of the chest and the upper hemisphere?
What's the deal with the opening of the shoulders, exposing the shoulders and smooth armpits?
There are no leggings on the lower body, and the skirt with a high slit is used to directly expose the two straight and round thighs?
Is this especially sure to be the lining of the knight's armor, not some **** clothing, or a special clothing for Cosers who specifically attract otaku?
If it weren't for the fact that the beautiful face that was not inferior to that of Silkisa and Skaha, I am afraid that no one would have thought that this was a knight.
However, what attracted the only man in the room was not this highly revealing costume, or the female knight's fiery figure than the sixth guide Lingxia, but her hair, to be precise, the center of her forehead, which happened to be a small handful of hair.
Blonde, no matter what happens, it doesn't sag, as if gravity doesn't exist at all - "dull hair".
Seeing this strand of dull hair, Shinji finally confirmed the identity of the female knight, and also knew where the familiar feeling in his heart came from.
At the same time that Shinji showed a sudden look, the female knight reported her name in a dignified manner, adding a decisive proof to Shinji's answer:
"King of Britain, Artoria Pendragon, this Holy Grail War is the Lancer of the Black!"
"King of Britain... That knight king, King Arthur, is actually a woman?"
Sixth Dao Lingxia let out an exclamation.
No wonder she was so surprised, to this day, the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is one of the most famous legends in the world. Legends describe this as a heroic man, but who would have known that his real body would be a woman? In the face of such a striking fact, it is not a child like Little Jack who does not know the name of King Arthur, but only someone like Shinji.
"The truth of history is often more bizarre than the legend - can you think that little Jack could be that Jack the Ripper? ”
"That's true. ”
Hearing Shen Er say this, the sixth guide Lingxia was relieved. Compared to the serial murderer "Jack the Ripper", who calls himself "Mom", King Arthur's real identity is nothing as a woman.
Moreover, after going back and forth between life and death today, and experiencing so many unbelievable things, knowing the secrets hidden in the darkness such as magicians, Holy Grail wars, summoning, heroic spirits, etc., she would not feel strange even if someone told her that the earth would explode tomorrow.
"But how did Miss Artoria's figure disguise herself as a man?"
"Because she wasn't what she is now. ”
After confirming the identity of his own servant, Shinji's whole person relaxed, and the image deliberately created in order to leave a good impression on the servant was gone.
"That's ——?," Sixth Dao Lingxia said curiously.
Shinji smiled but didn't answer, and looked sideways at Artoria, who was also looking at him, with more curiosity in his eyes than Sixth Guide Lingxia.
"Master, you- seem familiar to me?"
