Chapter Seventy-Eight: Arhcer's Helplessness (Part II)
As Vlad III said, it is not only Siegfried who is helpless, but also the red archer who has no way to take Siegfried, but also the black archer, the great sage Charon.
To be precise, he was the most helpless of them all, so much so that even his master, Kaures, who was with him on the city wall overlooking the battlefield, had a clear feeling.
"Archer, what's wrong with you?
"No, the situation is generally in our favor. ”
Through the B+ clairvoyance he had trained as an archer, Caron could clearly see that the Golem of Avisbroon had sealed the Red Berserker firmly. On the other hand, although the Assassin is lagging behind, he does not show a defeat. The only thing he did was use a telepathy-like skill to inform Sieg Fei of the location of the Red Archer.
"And why are you?"
"I know him because of the Red Rider. ”
Hearing Charon's words, Corres didn't react for a while.
"Isn't that the first time that Red Rider has appeared——??
"No matter how hard you try to hide your real name, there is still common sense in this world that no matter how much you struggle, you can't overturn it. That's right, if you have known each other well before you die, it is natural that you will know the real name of the other party. ”
Corles asked, "Is he?"
"Achilles. ”
Achilles ...... That Achilles of the Trojan War!"
Charon nodded.
"I remember he was your—"
"Ah, yes, he's my disciple. "Even if it's not a regular form, as long as it's a Holy Grail War, it's not impossible for this to happen...... This so-called fate, sometimes even we who have passed away are unwilling to let go, which is really ironic. ”
When Achilles was young, his mother Thetis returned to her homeland under the sea due to a feud with her father, Peleus. So Peleus asked his old friend, Charon, who had trained many heroes, to serve as Achilles' teacher.
Since then, Achilles has spent nine years with the Caron life and arts. It is no exaggeration to say that Achilles did not spend as much time with his parents as he did with Charon, let alone the most sentimental teenage years of human life.
The relationship between the two has long gone beyond the relationship between master and apprentice. For Charon, who had a long life, Achilles was both his disciple, his son, and sometimes a mischievous younger brother.
Even after Achilles came out of school, Charon was still silently watching him.
Learn about the countless legends of his exploits in the past that correspond to the praise of the top hero.
I also know that he is likely to be the top outstanding servant in this Holy Grail War.
He has been sincerely blessed by the gods of Olympus, and has an invincible body capable of neutralizing all attacks.
Only a son of a god who shares his origins, a person with divine skills, or a god-made treasure infused with the power of the gods can inflict damage on him.
Of Black's seven followers, only one of them has divinity.
When he received Gold's request to capture the array and recognize Achilles, he was really worried about the assassin on the battlefield. If it weren't for the fact that the Assassin had a god-made artifact and wounded Achilles, he would have cleared the siege.
From then on, he opened his bow several times, lowered it several times, and until finally, Achilles drove away without firing a single arrow.
Is it because there is no chance?
No, it's not. With what he knew about Achilles, it would not be difficult to shoot him when the latter was unguarded.
Excluding those opportunities that only expose himself and have nothing to do with the big picture, he has at least three chances to make a move, one of which has a good chance to kill Achilles directly.
However, he missed both.
That's right, that's right, he missed, not to give up. He knew when to make a move, and he predicted what kind of results he would achieve, but when he drew his bow and arrows, there was always some hesitation in his heart, after all, it was his disciple. This hesitation is a fleeting opportunity.
Regret it? A little bit. But the relationship with teachers and students is only a small part of the insignificance.
His face changed with his mood, which seemed to Corres to be an incredible thing, because the biggest impression that Charon had given him during this time was that he was calm and calm, as if nothing could shake him, until now-
"Archer, are you alright?"
"It's fine. ”
Charon closed his eyes and exhaled, as if to exhale all his emotions.
"It's just remembering the time I spent living with Achilles. Seeing his current appearance, you must not think that he was the same as Roger when he was a child, he was not strong at all, his fists and feet were soft, and he had no strength. ”
Listening to Charon's voice and recalling the legend of Achilles, Caures couldn't help laughing: "There is such a past, maybe as a teacher, you know - you can train him to be a hero of world civilization, you are worthy of the best teacher." ”
"He was also the best student. ”
"Charon, this time the Holy Grail War, you teachers and students—" Not Servant Archer, just Charon.
"Don't worry, Corres, since he has been on the battlefield, there are no fathers and sons, there are only enemies and enemies, I will not show mercy to him because he is my disciple, and I also want to see how much he has grown since he left. ”
Caron opened his eyes again, and at this time he still did not regain the peace and composure of the sage state, but instead had the unparalleled spirit of a hero, like a full strong bow, ready to shoot an arrow that cut through the sky at any time.
My disciple, you are still as proud as ever, this is your most fatal weakness as a warrior. Although because of your overwhelming strength, you have not exposed this weakness once.
Only this time, that arrogance will become deadly poison - because your enemy is your master, myself Charon!
This time, I will let you go, and next time, you must be enlightened, otherwise even you will die.
"By the way, Archer, since the Red Rider is your disciple, can you be like the Red Berserker-"
"Impossible. Caron shook his head firmly, "He is no longer the immature him he was when he was a child, now he is worthy of the name of a hero, he will not switch sides because of me." On the contrary, knowing my existence, he will definitely gamble everything to fight me—because this is the only way to show his growth and prove that he is worthy of my disciple. ”
Admittedly, the educational philosophy of Karon is different from that of Skaha, which is relatively relaxed. But there is one thing that the two have in common, that is, the dignity and expectation of being a teacher - a disciple should not look up to the teacher, but should go beyond the teacher and step towards a broader sky.
"That's a shame. ”
Since Charon said so, Cowles didn't ask any more questions. Just as Fiore trusted Shinji, he trusted Charon very much.
"Go back, the battle is over. ”
"Hmm. ”
Just as the two of them were about to leave the city walls, a huge communication technique rose from the inside of the castle and quickly spread around.
"Announce to all the Thousand Worlds Tree Masters that Rider has escaped with an android, and that android is an important body, and he must be captured alive. ”
Charon's steps abruptly paused: "Rider, Ziggy, I hope you have a smooth journey." ”
PS: Today, the editor was merciful and gave me a big push, so I will add a more to celebrate.
