CHAPTER XXXIV
There is such a saying - people who are better than you are not terrible, what is terrible is that people who are better than you work harder than you.
Fiore was such a "terrible" person. She has good enough qualifications and works very hard, which makes her a prominent figure in the new generation of clock towers. When the Thousand Worlds Tree Clan raised the banner of rebellion, many of the Clock Tower's instructors felt sorry for her, she could have contributed more to the magic world, and she should have a brighter future. It's a pity that the Thousand Realms Tree Clan to which she belongs is destined to perish because of the wrong choice.
Such a voice could still be heard even from far away in the city of Mirenia. However, she regretted it, whether it was the rebellion of the Thousand Realms Tree or the fact that she became the Master to participate in the Holy Grail War, it was her own choice. Even if she is an enemy of her former classmates and teachers, even if she ends in failure and ushers in the end of her life, she will persevere.
Her life hasn't changed, as she did when she studied at the Clock Tower, and how she did in Mirenia City, and the same when she summoned the Servant.
Wake up before half past six in the morning and routinely do a magic loop training. She has inconvenient legs and feet, and this kind of training is especially important. Relying on magic tricks and her own dresses, she washes and changes clothes independently, and she will meet her brother Corles, who takes care of her, for breakfast together. Sometimes in Corres's room, sometimes in Fiore's own room, and occasionally in the castle's dining room.
At 7:30 a.m., Corres arrived at his sister's room. Unlike in the past, today Corres did not come alone, he also brought his servant, the Black Archer Charon.
Corles's attitude towards the servant is very similar to that of his sister, and the two do not really regard the servant as their subordinate because they have concluded a master-slave contract, condescending and commanding. They treat their servants as partners and treat them with respect.
After the early morning summoning ceremony, Corres quickly arranged a room for Caron, and took him to breakfast in the morning to enhance the communication between them.
After taking his seat, Corres looked at the empty spot opposite Keron and asked his sister, "Isn't the Assassin there?"
"He's nearby, I'll let him know. ”
Just as Fiore was about to summon Shinji through the contract, Shinji appeared at the door.
"No, I'm here. ”
"You're holding ——?"
"Last night's results. ”
Shinji casually put aside a long scroll and a document bag in his hand.
"I've walked around the castle and tested the defenses of the Thousand Worlds Tree Clan. I've compiled the problematic points, and plan to let His Excellency the Great Sage verify them first, and then let you pass them on to Patriarch Danic. ”
The long scroll was a detailed topographical map of Tullyfas, and the bag contained a report written by Prudential Hands, "On the Defects of the Defense of Mirenia."
Since he had spent so much magic outside under the guise of being familiar with the terrain, it was really unreasonable not to make some achievements, and the tyrant of Vlad III and the old fox of Danik who made the dirty inkstone suffer were not easy to fool.
Hence this report.
The report shows Shinji lying on Yustisa's chest...... Ahem, it was already conceived when I was hiding in the center of the Great Holy Grail to recuperate.
The Great Holy Grail is fused with the spiritual veins in the area of Tullyface, and Featheredsa can easily sense the changes in Tulifis's magical power, and it is not difficult to find the shortcomings of the Thousand Worlds Tree Clan. Carefully select a few loopholes, add a little advice of your own, and by the way, make a little arrangement that is useful to you, and a report mixed with private goods is completed.
Hearing Shinji's answer, Fiore's water-colored eyes showed obvious surprise: "In the middle of the night?"
"Of course, don't underestimate the agility of an assassin. Shinji naturally sat down at the table, "I already said yesterday, I am your servant, and it is only natural to do these things. ”
"Assassin, haven't you remembered your real name?" asked Corres.
Shinji shook his head: "No." ”
"What about the wish to lodge in the Holy Grail?" Fiore asked.
Shinji put on an open-minded look: "No." From what I know about myself, I only remember it when I get the Holy Grail, and if I am unfortunate enough to lose, then follow the fate of an assassin and die nameless, which is not bad. ”
"Wasn't you confident before?" Fiore's mouth narrowed a little.
Shinji smiled: "I'm just as confident now, but I also know that I'm not invincible, at least sitting opposite me, Your Excellency the Great Sage, I don't have much confidence in winning the battle." ”
"It's over. Charon's voice was as breezy as the smile on his face.
"Okay, don't talk patronizingly, breakfast is going to be cold, and I'm hungry too. ”
Caures said and grabbed the sandwich, Fiore glared at his brother, straightened his face, and was about to preach, but saw that Shinji was also like Caures, grabbed the sandwich, gobbled it up, and said intermittently while eating.
"I'm hungry too, I've been running all night, so it's no wonder I'm not hungry. ”
Two-on-one, Fiore could only swallow back the words, and unconsciously puffed out her mouth.
Seeing this, Cowles and Shinji glanced at each other, and a sense of identity was born in his heart that he climbed out of the dormitory wall in the middle of the night when he was in school and went to the Internet café for the night.
And Charon was still that calm and breezy appearance, and only the people he was most familiar with would notice that the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened.
With Shinji and Corres, two unruly fellows, this breakfast is destined to have nothing to do with elegance, despite the impeccable gestures of both Fiore and Charon.
During the meal, Fiore asked her questions:
"If my memory is not wrong, Lord Charon should not be a human, but a centaur, how can it be?"
"As you say, I should have been called in an inhuman form. ”
Charon - taught many great heroes led by Hercules, the leading sage of the centaur tribe, and the most famous sage in Greek mythology.
Born with a human upper body and a lower half a horse, he was a fully deity with Kronos, the god of the earth and farming, as his father and the goddess Philullah as his mother. However, after mistakenly hitting Hercules' poisoned arrow, he gave up his immortality in order to escape his suffering. However, at this moment, his full divinity was lost along with his immortality, and he became a being who could be summoned as a heroic spirit.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with being summoned as a servant in the original posture of being half human and half horse, it's just-
"It's just that just by seeing that gesture, the real name will be deduced, and it's really helpless to do so. ”
Half-man, half-horse, the moment you see this posture, no one can't think of a centaur. If you want to talk about famous heroes, the first thing that comes to mind will undoubtedly be Charon. This is especially true if you still have a bow and arrows. After all, Charon is a heroic spirit who is the original form of Sagittarius of the zodiac.
Thus, when Caron was summoned, he took on a human form. Although some abilities were downgraded at the expense, the use of the bow was not particularly affected.
The current Keron, from the outside, there is nothing that can make people see that he is the world-famous sage. However, everyone present, including Shinji, no one would doubt his strength.
His breath is vast and profound. On the other hand, no matter where you are, you will have the illusion of being in the middle of a vast forest.
This is Charon the Great Sage, Black's most revered hero, there is no one!8)
