Chapter 239: Departure (or Two in One)
In the evening, Shinji was forced to wake up from his sleep by the technique that had been buried at the head of the bed, and in a matter of seconds, he dispelled the remaining sleepiness.
"It's time. β
Spit out these words with special meaning in a voice that was so calm that he was surprised that he could not sleep again after the burst of his liver, and the man who had slept in the dark after the burst of his liver moved his muscles and bones while embodying a pure white robe woven by the third magic.
There was an expected knock on the door, along with Little Jack's voice.
"Dad, it's time, wake up. β
"It's coming. After straightening his hair in the mirror, Shinji opened the door.
"Dad. β
Little Jack pounced on him conventionally, Shinji skillfully caught it, and the two rubbed their foreheads against their foreheads.
"Come on. β
"Ahh
"Come on, Shinji. β
Lingxia also opened her arms and hugged the father and daughter together.
"Jack and I are waiting for you to come back. β
Shinji didn't say anything, silently hugged Jack and Lingxia for a while, and turned to the last person outside the door, the knight who would go to the battlefield with him no matter what happened, the king of knights.
The master and slave who are getting more and more tacit don't need to say anything, they just need to make eye contact to read each other's meaning.
Let's go!
Yes, master!
A detailed battle plan was issued in the morning. At this point, everyone should meet in the square of the city of Mirenia, first drive to the capital Bucharest, and then transfer to the large transport golem prepared by Avisbron and go straight to the sky garden hovering in the open sea.
When Shinji arrived at the parking lot, there were already quite a few people who had already arrived first.
"Listen, your task is to drive the car to Bucharest and then return here, and don't do anything superfluous. β
Gold raised his face to the ears of the two cyborg humans.
"If you are seen by the magicians of the guild, you will never come back. Although it is only some inferior products, it will also affect my reputation if it is consumed meaninglessly. β
"Hmph, you don't have any comments to speak of for a long time. Dur, the leader who accompanied him, said unceremoniously.
"Please don't say that, Miss Doerr. Siegfried, who was standing on the other side, said, "Master is worried about you too. β
"What, how could I worry about them?"
Gold went crazy for a while, and then there was the familiar bickering performance.
Not far from them, by the flower bed, the lion was half-crouching and spitting out the clouds, smoking one cigarette after another, as if he was planning to smoke the whole pack of cigarettes in one go.
It wasn't long before there were only two cigarettes left in the box, and the lion robber lit them with the lighter that he had so lovingly hidden in his arms, and the smoke that had just dispersed spread again.
βMasterβ¦β¦β
"Take it. β
Sensing Mordred's intriguing gaze, Lion Raid pulled out one and handed it over.
"Oh, I've wanted to try it for a long time. β
Still dressed in hot clothes, the rebellious knight grabbed the cigarette between his fingers and held it in his mouth as he could.
The lion robbed her and helped her light it.
As she took a deep puff of her cigarette, Mordred gave her an indescribable expression.
"Ahem, what, this. β
It was her expression that the lion robbery was waiting for, and she laughed unscrupulously:
"It tastes terrible, doesn't it? β
"Master, do you think it tastes good?"
"Of course it was bad to smoke it for the first time, but it's good to get used to it. β
"Why do you want to get used to this kind of thing? β
"Stupid, I've forgotten about this kind of thing for a long time. β
"It's terrible, like this thing. β
Mordred coughed a few more times, but instead of throwing away the pesky cigarette in his hand, he became more and more cautious.
"After all, isn't it just like our lives? β
"yes. β
Both understood what the other was saying. He had seen her dreams, and she had seen his past.
The more desperately you thirst, the more you can't get it, and in the end it's just an empty one, swallowing the bitter fruit alone, just like this choking cigarette.
"Master, I won't dream of the chosen sword anymore, because my dream has come true, but you ......"
"It's okay for me because I'm ...... I've found what I want to do. β
"What do you want to do?
"Secret. β
"Tell me, master. β
Mordred habitually patted the lion on the shoulder, and the lion had long been guarding against this hand, dodging one by one, and running away.
"If you can't say it, you can't say it. β
"Don't try to run. β
Where is Mordred willing to put it, chasing after him with teeth and claws. But before he could chase a few steps, he saw Artoria standing quietly beside him, and suddenly the mouse saw the cat and stood in place at a loss.
"That, that, father...... I ......"
"It's okay to relax before the war, but don't go too far. β
"I see, huh?"
I thought that my father, who had a serious personality, would scold him, but I didn't expect it to be just a light reminder.
"Also, cigarette ......"
"I'll pinch it off right away. β
"Forget it, although it's not a good thing, there's no need to waste it, just this one. β
Once again, Artoria's reaction exceeded Mordred's expectations, and she couldn't help but nod her head with joy.
"Uh-huh, my father is the best, eh, hey, hey, hey, hey......"
Seeing Mordred, who was full of smirks and looked like a child, the lion took two puffs of cigarette.
If that kid were still around, he would be as old as Mordred. Will she play with herself like that?
Definitely not. That kid has a quiet personality, most likely she won't be so lively, and she won't let her become like this.
However, no matter which one it is, they are all so dazzling, and they are all people they cherish.
The kid was gone, and he couldn't come back even if he made a wish to the Holy Grail, so at least, let Mordred ......
The eyes behind the sunglasses became firm, although half of himself had died because of the death of that child, but what could the remaining half do, and at the end of the day, he could still recover what he had lost before.
That is the root of human beings, and it is the emotion necessary for human beings to dominate this world.
This battle must be won, and it will definitely be won.
His empty hand unconsciously reached into his pocket and grasped the newly completed syringe, which was his greatest effort and indispensable for Black's invasion of the aerial garden.
On the other side, Achilles and Charon stood side by side, the former carrying a meteor gun and aiming it at the sky:
"It's been a long time ago to act with teachers like this. β
The corners of Charon's mouth also showed a nostalgic smile: "Yes, you were only so tall at that time, and you always made mistakes." β
Atalanta glanced at Achilles with some surprise, and the latter said with a little embarrassment:
"At that time, I was not sensible, but now I don't. My desire is to exist as a hero, and I must be worthy of the title of 'hero'. Do you want to compare? Eldest sister and teacher, see who has more enemies to defeat. β
"I'm fine. I just don't know what kind of way that hateful woman and eccentric priest will meet it. β
A hint of concern appeared on Atalanta's face, and Achilles swung his gun hard.
"It doesn't matter what way you go, we can't let their plot succeed. β
"You've really grown into a great hero, Achilles. Charon sighed softly, "Well, I've accepted the challenge. β
Achilles was instantly full of fighting spirit: "Then take a good look." Big sister, I will definitely surpass my father. Teacher, I will definitely surpass you. β
"Don't get too carried away, I haven't lost a single test against my students. β
"Then I'll let me be the first time. β
"It's good to be determined, but don't rush too much and put an unnecessary burden on the master. β
Hearing Charon's reminder, Caures hurriedly waved his hand.
"Don't worry about me, it's not just your fight, it's mine. I'm not good enough as a magician, but I'll try not to hold you back. Whether it's running with all your might, or using the Noble Phantasm, I won't have any restrictions on you, and there is only one goal, to win!!"
"Well said, Master, let's make a big fuss. β
"Master, don't be too forced. β
Achilles laughed, and Charon shook his head a little helplessly.
Seeing this, Atalanta remembered her master, and she turned to look at another man who had the same affiliation as her, and whispered:
"MasterβFiore, is she still locked herself in her room?"
"Hmm. Shinji let out a sigh, "Artoria has gone to see it, but there is no reaction at all, presumably still angry with me and Corres." β
"It's natural to be angry, and what you're doing is really cruel to her. β
"yes, but I don't regret it. Someone has to stay here, and she, the patriarch, is the most suitable person, and besides, her character is not suitable for the cruelty of war. It's just the opportunity to fulfill my promise to her, after all, no one knows if I will come back alive. β
As the patriarch of the Thousand Worlds Tree Clan and the current first responsible person, she is naturally ready to lead by example and go to the front line, and she has been actively preparing for this.
However, just this morning, when Caron issued the battle plan, it was not Fiore's share.
At first, Fiore thought it was a missed preparation. But when I asked, I found out that a group of people didn't plan to take her there at all.
Fiore strongly objected to this, but was strongly suppressed by Shinji and Corres. Regardless of the authority of the patriarch, sister, and master, he was directly knocked unconscious and sent to the operating table, and began to remove and reconstruct the distorted parts of the magic circuit.
Although the operation was not long and the scale was not large, due to the change of the magic circuit, Fiore became very weak, not to mention fighting, and even the movement became very difficult.
Naturally, such a physical condition could not go to the front line, and Fiore hated the two initiators because of this, and did not say a word to the two, nor did she come out to send them.
"You don't need to worry about the mana supply, I have already linked most of the mana paths to my body when I was doing the operation, and you can draw them freely. β
"I know, I'm just a little envious of them. β
"I'm sorry. β
Capturing the loss in Atalanta's eyes, Shinji said apologetically.
"It doesn't matter, you didn't do anything wrong, as long as you survive, you still have a chance. β
"Well, cheer each other on, for ourselves, for the world, and for Fiore. β
As they spoke, Roger and Avisbronn also appeared at the meeting place, followed by a bronze golem. The golem has a dark object on its shoulder that looks like a large clod of dirt.
There is a gap at one end of the clod, through which a pale face, eyes full of hatred, and a mouth that keeps opening and closing. Judging by the shape of her mouth, she must have been cursing constantly, but because of the magic blockade, no one heard her voice.
Soon, her former servant Astolfo and her most hated android Zieg also arrive, and their appearances are always indispensable.
Astolfo ran in front and Zieg chased behind.
"Hurry up, master, we're going to be late. β
"Don't, don't run so fast, rider, I, I can't keep up. β
"Ah, everyone's already here. β
"yes, I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long.
"It's all my fault, I accidentally overslept. β
As always, Achilles, who is also a rider, complained:
"The Servant will oversleep, no, it is correct to say that the Servant should not need to sleep. β
"But it's really comfortable to sleep, especially with the master in my arms. β
"What a fool I'm talking to you about. β
Achilles Exposed-_-!!! and others are no exception.
"I say, little brother Ziggy, you are in charge of him as the master. β
"Well, I really can't help it. β
Ziggy scratched his side face in annoyance. Although he has only been born for a short time, he does not lack common sense. He had planned to have the Servant incarnate or move freely in the castle like the other masters, but when he said this, Astolfo cried, "Are you saying it would be better if I wasn't there!?" "Only by sleeping with the Master will I become motivated." "That's the case.
In the end, Ziggy had no choice but to compromise. He was born as an android to supply magic, and the quality of the magic circuit was so high that it would not be much of a burden to keep Astolford in a materialized state.
"Well, well, don't worry about these details. Thanks to the master, I'm in great shape right now. Let's fight with the bad guys who want to destroy the world. β
Seeing that Astolfo is so scrappy, and the others can't say anything more, saving the world now is the most important thing.
Joan of Arc, who had read the battle plan again in the passenger seat, stepped out of the car and said to everyone:
"This battle is not limited to formality, there are no restrictions on conditions, even if you are one step ahead of the Great Holy Grail to realize your wishes. There is only one purpose, to defeat Shiro Amakusa Shizhen and prevent him from destroying the world with the power of the Great Holy Grail. Guys, are you ready?"
Someone responded loudly, someone nodded quietly, someone took up their weapons, albeit in different ways, but all expressed the same will.
"Out of battle!"
The roar of the engine resounded throughout the city of Mirenia, and a curtain somewhere nearby quietly lifted a corner.
A pair of beautiful eyes are hidden in the dark, and the eyes are full of water, I don't know whether it is the color of the pupils themselves or the mist that spreads from the corners of the eyes.
"Abominable, bastard, traitor......"
"I will definitely take revenge on you, I will definitely ......"
"So, you must come back, or I will never forgive you. β
"Shen Er, Kaules ......"
