Chapter 35: Their Respective Wishes
A pair of legs.
A pair of beautiful legs.
The skin is as smooth and delicate as the finest white marble. The legs are also very beautiful, slender and well-proportioned. Subtracting one point makes you look thinner, and adding one point is a bit too plump. The beautiful bare feet were a little stiff because of the gaze of the three opposite sexes, but this not only did not damage her softness, but added a unique charm.
Don't get me wrong, the owner of the three eyes is neither foot control nor hentai, they are looking at this pair of beautiful legs with a very serious attitude.
The owners of the three eyes are Corles, Shinji, and Charon, and the owner of the legs is Fiore.
Yes, Fiore, it's hard to imagine that she has such beautiful legs with a lower body disability, which makes people feel extremely sorry.
And the purpose of looking at these legs is also for Fiona's leg disease.
Corles brought Charon to see Fiore not just for breakfast, but for a more important reason - to see Fiore.
Charon is known not only for his bow and arrows, but also for his knowledge and talent. Legend has it that he is almost omnipotent and omniscient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, bows, arrows, knives and guns, boxing and sumo, heaven and earth, including medical skills. Asclepius, the ancient Greek god of medicine and the prototype of Ophiuchus, came from his disciples.
Although Charon said that Asclepius had surpassed him in medical skills, there was no doubt that Charon was able to teach a disciple like the god of medicine.
Fiona was the first to choose Charon as her servant, and also planned to use Charon's medical skills to treat her legs. Corles also knew this, so he asked Charon to see his sister after breakfast.
Fiona, who has been plagued by leg problems since she was a child, of course will not refuse, so there is a scene of three big men staring at a woman's legs.
Looking carefully from his knees to his toes, Charon whispered, "It's rude." β
After receiving Fiore's acquiescence, Charon reached out and pinched Fiore's ankles, and her already wise eyes grew deeper and deeper, as if to see her bones and muscles directly through Fiore's skin.
After a few more seconds, Charon began to exert force, and suddenly a red mark appeared where Fiore had been pinched, and Fiore's face turned pale.
Noticing Fiore's change, Charon asked, "Is this it?"
Fiore let out a painful "um".
Charon reached out his free hand and pinched Fiore's other foot. This time, he changed his approach, but Fiore's face still didn't improve.
Caron withdrew his hand, nodded at first, then shook his head, and finally fell silent.
"How's that, Archer?" said Corres's voice.
"The cure is treatable, it's just-"
Caron's solemn expression cast a shadow over Corres's heart.
"Just what?"
"It's just that in order to heal Miss Fiore's leg, the magic circuit on her leg must be removed. β
Hearing this answer, Caures sighed, and Fiore lowered her eyelids, seemingly unsurprised.
Fiore had known this treatment for a long time, and that the problems caused by the magic circuit could only be removed, which meant that she would have to give up living as a magician.
Fiore learned ergonomics and sΓ©ance, and mastered techniques to replace them despite the toil of not being able to move her feet. It can be used to replace its immobile feet by descending to make it work, and it can float in the air on a broomstick, but it is not your own foot after all. Moreover, as the heir of the Velvegi family, he cannot and does not want to give up magic.
Therefore, one can only pin one's hopes on the miracle of the Holy Grail.
"Retrieving the function of my feet while maintaining the magic circuit is my wish. β
Caron understood: "I see. Because I didn't want to sacrifice anyone, I had to hope for a miracle. β
"Doesn't that sound selfish?"
Fiore's heart is very conflicted, she is not lying, she is determined to be a magician to take the Holy Grail of the Almighty Wish Machine, there is no need to use weak words to win sympathy.
However, she still cowardly and lacks confidence to say what she wants, and this is her character. She hates herself like this, and hates herself who subconsciously shows an attitude of winning the sympathy of others.
"It's selfish, indeed. Shinji, who was lying on the side of the bed, suddenly spoke.
"Hey, Assassin!" Caures's face turned cold, as a servant who didn't comfort his own master, he didn't care, and he actually said cool things.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm telling the truth. And there's nothing wrong with being selfish, how many humans can be truly selfless? I don't remember what my wish was, but I'm sure it must be selfish. But so what, selfishness is selfishness, aren't we all participating in the Holy Grail War because of selfish desires?"
Fiore looked up at her servant. Once again, this guy who doesn't play cards according to common sense has surprised her.
Whether it was comfort, silence, or changing the subject, Fiore was mentally prepared, but she didn't expect that her servant would directly put "selfishness", which is by no means a positive human nature, and admit that she was also selfish.
Really, I really don't know what to say, but I feel a lot better.
"Indeed, as the Assassin said, my wishes are also full of selfish desires. Charon agreed with Shinji.
"What's that?" the Flvegie siblings wondered what the wise sage's wishes were
"I want to get back what I have deposited with God. β
This is the most famous legend of Charon, whose parents are gods, has an immortal body. One day, however, he was caught in a conflict between his disciple Hercules and his fellow centaurs, and his knee was struck by the poisoned arrow of Hydra (Hydra) shot by Hercules.
Hydra's poison is the most poisonous poison in Greek mythology, and it is claimed that there is no cure. Due to his immortality, Caron could not die, and could only endure constant torment from toxins. In the end, Charon could not bear the torture day after day, and entrusted Zeus with the immortality to Prometheus, and then he was reassured. Zeus was reluctant to give up, so he made him ascend to heaven. It is said that it is the constellation Sagittarius hanging in the southern sky.
"It's not that I don't want to die, but my immortality is a gift from my parents. If I had left this behind, I would not have been able to call it a real Charon. β
The man quietly expressed his admiration for his parents.
"-But archer, you-"
Fiore realized that she had lost her words and hurriedly closed her mouth.
Fiore, who had collected the Caron Catalyst, investigated all the myths and legends related to the Caron. That's why she has questions, and that's why she realizes she's lost her words.
Because if you continue to talk about it, it will be an insult to him. Legend has it that his father, Kronos, took the form of a horse and married to his mother, the goddess Philullah, who gave birth to Charon. However, Philura lamented when she saw the upper half of her body as a human and her lower half as a horse, and she became a linden tree.
In other words, he knew better than anyone that her parents had poured any love into him in the first place.
His expression was still serene, but there was a little more guilt in his words:
"It's true that I wasn't loved by my parents, but I still wanted to get it back like a proof of blood. I'll admit it's selfish. After all, even if you don't die now, it won't help. Even so, thoughβ"
- Even so, for Keron it was a weak bond with his parents.
Silence once again enveloped Fiore's room, and no one knew how to comfort Charon. Even Shinji has nothing to say, and in desperation, he can only change the topic.
"Cowles, everyone has said it, so tell us your wishes. β
"My wish. Cowles pondered for a moment, then said weakly, "Actually, I haven't decided yet. β
Then she was glared at by her sister, and Charon and Shinji also showed surprise, what kind of Holy Grail war did the guy who didn't want to participate in?
Corres scratched his head apologetically: "It's not for nothing. Don't look at me like this, I'm also a magician, and of course I have the mood to reach the vortex of roots. But I always felt like I had something else to desire. β
Can even the Almighty Holy Grail reach the root so easily? Of course, it should be possible to carve the first step in order to get there, but that road is too long.
"In short, it's impossible to understand if you're not actually in a situation. For example, if my sister dies and I have to resurrect you after the war, will I? More important to me than the roots, who don't know when they will arrive, is the sister in front of me. β
"Corles, you-"
The younger brother's declaration once again puts Fiore in a contradiction, on the one hand, the affection of the sister and brother, and on the other hand, the cold and rational education that magicians should receive from childhood. She asked herself, if her brother died, would she be able to give up her original wish?
Just as Fiore was struggling, Shinji took her words.
"-It turned out to be a sister control. Well, I can understand that Fiore is smart, beautiful and gentle, and if I had such a sister, maybe I would become like you. β
"Assassin!" Cowres' face immediately turned red, and he stared at Shinji viciously.
Shen Eryi squinted his eyes: "I was annoyed and embarrassed by what I said, looking at your appearance, it seems that you want to beat me, do you want to fight? I let you put your hands and feet." β
"Are you a servant talking to me?" said Corres, sneering.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, isn't it normal for the assassin to trouble the master?"
"You ββ!" Kaures was angry for a while, but fortunately he had a flexible mind and quickly found a way, "I can't beat you in direct combat, but in another battlefield, you may not be able to beat me." β
"What battlefield?" Shinji was interested.
"In this era, the battlefield of young people - video games, do you dare to compare with me?"
"Why don't you dare!"
Shinji was silent on the surface, but he was about to laugh in his heart - are you sure you want to play games with me? and a senior otaku?
PS: Fiore's relict to Corres is the arrow that Heron shot in the knee by Hercules, which should theoretically be summoned by both of them, but considering that it is stained with Charon's blood, it is still the most likely Caron.
