Chapter 122: The True Identity of the Female Warrior
"Next, I will use all the power I have accumulated as a thank you gift. ”
Shinji laughed as he ripped off his already tattered shirt, revealing his inconspicuous but explosive, cheetah-like upper body.
In an instant, everyone felt that the young man in front of them was different.
Before, although he had a terrible record of killing the twenty-seven ancestors, there was nothing special except for his handsome appearance and slightly arrogant attitude. When he is not speaking, everyone's eyes will focus on Elquet, Loreleia or the female warrior, and subconsciously ignore the teenager around him.
Now, the boy is still the same boy, but the sense of existence that erupted from his body overshadowed the three women who had long since surpassed common sense, like a terrible prehistoric beast, waking up from its slumber and showing its majesty.
That is the momentum that the strong man who killed the twenty-seven ancestors.
Feeling this momentum, the female warrior held her sword on her chest, put on the etiquette that belonged to the ancient warrior, and asked in a solemn voice:
"Boy, give your name, this is the honor that a warrior deserves. ”
Shinji returned the salute with the courtesy of a long weapon, but shook his head.
"I refuse because you didn't tell you your real name. ”
You have treated me as a warrior, and I have treated you as a warrior, which is the ritual inherited from Skaha. On the other hand, since you are hiding your real name, I will not follow the courtesy of a warrior and report myself to my family.
Before the battle, Shinji said this, and the female warrior would see it as an insult to a real warrior of the miscellaneous soldiers, and she would not hesitate to slash at it with a sword. However, in front of another warrior who was qualified to talk to her on an equal footing, she did not do so, which was an insult to herself and to the other party.
The female warrior hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why do you think I'm not Hephaestion?"
"Iskandar, the conquering king, commanded countless heroes, seven of whom were the most famous and trusted by him, and were later known as the 'Seven Attendants'. I've seen the 'Seven Attendants' once, and although it's a bit far away, and although I can't match their names with people, I'm sure there are no you among the seven, because they're all men!"
Even if the script is put aside, Shinji can be sure that these seven people are the closest to Iskandar in the king's army, and they are dressed differently from the surrounding warriors, who else can it be if it is not the seven close attendants?
Hearing Shinji's answer, the female warrior was silent for a few seconds before replying, "I'm not lying, Hephaestion is indeed my name." ”
"It's still -"
Halfway through speaking, Shinji suddenly thought of something, and his expression was strange.
"Ahh
"No!" a hint of annoyance flashed in the female warrior's golden and silver demon eyes, "I haven't changed gender, and I've never heard of a Heroic Spirit being able to change gender. ”
"That's because you're unheard, and the famous artist Leonardo da Vinci has a record of appearing in the form of the Mona Lisa. The reason seems to be that he thinks it is the ultimate beauty, and the flesh that is worthy of his genius. ”
It was as if I had heard something terrible - by a group of bystanders.
There was still such a person?—— the female warrior showed such an expression and denied.
"I haven't changed my gender, I was like that when I was born. ”
"I think I know who you are. ”
A voice rang out from the crowd of onlookers, and Webb stepped out of it.
"You're not Hephaestion, maybe you've used her name, but you're not him, at least not in terms of summoning. ”
"So, who do you think I am?" asked the female servant's body trembling slightly, her face cold, and her voice dark.
"I once summoned Iskandar in the Holy Grail War. However, 'his' appearance does not correspond to the legendary Iskander. Legend has it that he was short in stature, but what appeared in front of him was a muscular man who was more than two meters tall. Even if this may not have been the case when he was younger, his hair color and pupil color were clearly vermilion, far from the legend. According to the literature, Iskandar's hair color was blonde or black. The eyes are also described as one eye as deep as the night sky, and one eye is like a golden and silver demon pupil (Hecterochromia) reflecting the blue sky. ”
“…… That's not !!" followed Webb, and Gray gasped without leaving an inch.
"That's right, it's this woman. Iskander should call you in the calling, that relic can't call out other Heroic Spirits. However, due to the different summoning classes, they summoned a paradoxical existence from the real Iskander, and it is natural that they will appear next to the ancient royal family that is accompanied by assassination and war. ”
Webber stretched out his hand, pushed his glasses, and pointed his finger at the female servant.
"You are the remnant of the king, the shadow warrior of Iskander. ”
The term Kagewarrior originated in Japan. During the Warring States period in Japan, life was like a dream of yellow sorghum, and the day was precarious, but the life and safety of the lords of a country was enough to affect the death of their own people, so the lords were looking for people with similar faces in various places to serve as their stand-ins to ensure the safety of their lives. This type of lord stand-in is called a shadow warrior.
Of course, similar existence has existed for a long time, and from ancient times to the present day, it is not uncommon to see it from east to west.
For example, the female version of Kenshin Uesugi and Kenshin's sister Ai Naoe in a parallel world - ahem, it seems that something terrible has been exposed, crossed out, and it will be done again.
For example, the female version of Kenshin Uesugi and Kenshin's sister Ayagozen in a parallel world, the two often play with each other - well, this seems to be exposed as well.
Forget it, no matter what, in short, many celebrities in history have shadow warriors, and many artistic creations were born from this.
There is also such a shadow warrior in Iskandar in the moon world, but it is not out of his own will, such a bold and straightforward king, who lives more vividly than anyone else, will not take the initiative to choose a shadow warrior to take the danger for himself.
Everything was arranged by Iskandar's mother, Olympias.
It was a terrible woman, an ambitious conspirator, an unfathomable witch, and a witch who had a lot in common with Morgan and Semiramis!
This woman had planned everything before she married King Philip II of Macedon. First, I don't know how, I asked Zeus, the king of the gods in Greek mythology, the god Zeus, who had an extremely chaotic lifestyle, to borrow a seed and conceive the son of God, and this child was the conquering king who later set foot on the world, Alexander III, Iskander.
After becoming pregnant with Iskander, Olympias began to build momentum under the name of Zeus. Before the birth of the child, the impression of the son of God, the natural king, was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After the birth of the child, she began to teach him all kinds of imperial studies, in order to make him a king like no other in the world.
Not only that, but Olympias also secretly prepared Iskandar's left and right hands, for which she chose a pair of twins.
PS: List of seven chamberlains: Aristonous, Thracian Governor Lysimachus, Medean Governor Peithon, Helespont-Phrygian Governor Leonnatus, partner cavalry commander and consul Paddicas Perdiccas, Egyptian, Libyan and Arab Governor Ptolemy Ptolemy, Hephaestion Hephaestion.
PS2: Come on, old drivers, do you know those two exposures? Actually, there is one that can't be considered a shadow warrior.
