Impulses are just impulses after all, and they are not put into practice.

Giving Ziggy to Darnik or Avisbroon may be enough in exchange for benefits, but there are also many disadvantages.

The first to jump out was undoubtedly Astolford, a guy who had lost his reason and only had only his feelings, and would definitely turn his face from friend to enemy.

The Great Sage Charon is not so clueless, but judging by his behavior of helping Astolford this time, he must also be left behind. With Charon's influence, it is likely that this mustard will spread to Corles and even Fiore, leaving a rift between the trusting relationships that have been built up with great difficulty.

Once the seeds of distrust are planted, it is not so easy to move as freely as you did in the previous two days. Keron's eyesight is famous in history, and Astolford's unpredictable style and ability to do things are the things that Shinji is most wary of at this stage.

Selling the ziggy is in exchange for the future, and not selling is to protect the present,

And whether it is the future or the present, it is to ensure the ultimate goal of "getting the Holy Grail", and for a while, Shinji has a difficult choice, so he is entangled and silent.

Seeing Shinji's solemn expression, Charon and Astolfo didn't bother, just waited quietly.

Until—the boy lying on the bed, the beginning of everything, opened the red eyes of the Einzberen series of androids, and looked at Shinji with a dazed, helpless, confused, and a hint of vigilance.

"You are ——?"

At that moment, Shinji had a decision.

"I'm the Assassin, the owner of this room, and I want you to answer me a question. ”

The boy said "um", which was a kind of agreement.

"My room isn't safe, I'll be found by Caster sooner or later—tell me, what are you going to do?"

"Ah, of course it is-"

"Ah Fu, don't speak, I'm asking him. You can only decide your own affairs. ”

Since the scales are roughly balanced and difficult to choose, let the outside force be the final weight - Zigger's fate is left to his own decision. From the moment he awakened his self-will and escaped from the cultivation tank, he was no longer a puppet, no longer a prop, he was a person.

Maybe he is still very ignorant, very immature, and very confused, but he still has the power to think, choose, and decide his fate - this is the biggest difference between human beings and props.

If his answer satisfies Shinji, then Shinji will side with Astolford and help him.

If not, then I'm sorry, and that's the end of your life that you just started. I gave you a chance, but you didn't take it.

You can call me a hypocrisy, of course you don't necessarily know what hypocrisy means, but who made you appear in front of me? You have influenced my fate, so don't blame me for influencing your fate.

Under Shinji's aggressive gaze, the boy shivered involuntarily and curled up together. He instinctively looked away and asked for help from the people he had first met and who had warmed him up.

However, Charon reached out first and stood in front of Astolford. The wise Great Sage has seen that Shinji has similar intentions to him, and we can help you, but first you can't give up on yourself.

The only person who asks for help is blocked, Shinji's gaze is getting sharper and sharper, and the boy can't tell himself what he has to do.

"I... I... Don't know, what to do. ”

The boy's voice was weak, and his speech was intermittent, but he still tried to speak, trying to express himself.

"But, but, I... I think... Live!"

To live, just to live. Although I can survive, I still want to live.

"Great. This answer made Astolfo feel relieved,

"It is the instinct of life to survive, and it is the prerogative of human beings or intelligent beings to express it in words, congratulations, you are already a real human being. This answer made Charon smile with relief.

"I hope you can live and live well. ”

This answer also shifted the balance in Shinji's mind.

"I'll leave the room to you for the time being, I'll put an enchantment in the room to prevent prying eyes from outside, and this-"

Shinji said, taking out a few shells from his pocket, taking out another carving knife and carving ancient runes on the inner walls of the shells.

This is the simplest teleportation rune, which is infused with magic when used, and then broken to send a one-sentence message to another shell holder. With this, we can also respond in time if something unexpected happens. Unfortunately, Fiore only found the most ordinary shells, and if the material was a little better, I might have been able to make a magic version of the phone. ”

Similar to gem magic, the better the material that carries the rune, the more runic it will be. It's a pity that although the Thousand Worlds Tree has a family that studies Rune, it doesn't store high-quality magic materials in Mirenia City, and these shells are the best materials Fiore can find.

Of course, this is also related to the lack of Shinji's level, let Skaha do it, even the lowest-level materials can make high-level effects, but the outer wall of the Maki house using ordinary bricks and stones has a defensive power no less than the city wall under the reinforcement of runes is the best example.

"No, no, that's good, thank you so much, Assassin. Astolfo pounced with cheers, apparently to give Shinji a hug.

Shinji "swooped" and lifted the carving knife he had borrowed from Fiore and stopped at the center of Astolford's eyebrows, just stopping his flutter.

"It's really unacceptable for a man to do this kind of action, don't think that you are really a woman when you wear women's clothes, give me a little restraint. ”

With that, the graver flipped over and struck Astolford the head.

The latter covered his forehead and had teary eyes: "Woo, assassin bullies." ”

Ah Fu, are you willing to completely destroy my boundary between men and women?

While complaining in his heart, he distributed the newly made rune shells one by one.

Caron smiled and took it, and the young man carefully put it away and said softly, "Thank you." ”

Shinji also responded with a smile: "No thanks, you deserve it." By the way, what's your name?"

"Name," the boy bowed his head, muttering, "I don't have a name." ”

Shinji's smile remained the same, but it had a deeper meaning: "No matter how you do it, human beings must have names, which are used as a symbol of self." ”

"Symbol?" the boy didn't seem to understand.

"Do you want me to get one for you?"

The boy hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Hmm, mm." ”

"I think about it. Shinji held his chin and tentatively said one, "Golden?"

As soon as this name came out, Charon immediately frowned, and Astolfo protested repeatedly: "What kind of name is this, it's too ugly." ”

"So, Roland?"

"Oh, that's a good name, but forget it. Although he felt that it was very emotional to put the name of Charlemagne's first warrior, Astolford still refused.

"Assassin, be serious. ”

Shinji raised his hand in surrender: "Okay, no kidding, Ziggy, I think it's a good name, you see." ”

"That, that, I think it's good, I love the name. ”

Without waiting for Charon and Astolfo to speak, the boy spoke first. After all, it was to name him, and as soon as the person concerned spoke, the dust settled.

"Then it's decided. ”

"Please advise, Ziggy, I'm Astolford. ”

In the end, did you choose this name? Perhaps, this is fate.

Just like my name is Shinji Makiri, and your name is Zig.

At the same time, a certain man officially entered the confines of Tullyfas.
