Chapter 135: The Aerial Garden Activated
Hearing Semiramis's words, both Achilles and Atalanta showed puzzled expressions at the same time. Shakespeare, who understood the properties of this treasure, smiled even more happily when he saw the two of them reacting, and Karna remained calm. Shirou, the only lord present, said to Semiramis with some expectation:
"Assassin, don't be so, let's see for ourselves. ”
"Hmm...... Master, you seem to be quite passionate, too. ”
"Because I'm a man. ”
I see—Semiramis understood, and then pressed his hand down on the jewel set in the armrest of the throne. In an instant, the earth began to tremble slightly.
Was it an earthquake? The servants all looked at each other. However, this shock began to intensify gradually...... Then it stopped suddenly.
"Hehe, look outside. ”
In the laughter of Semiramis, all the people except her rushed out of the throne and came to the outside. The earthquake just now was clearly a deliberate phenomenon caused by Semiramis. But for what kind of reason-
"What ——!?"
Achilles nuclear Atalanta was speechless for a moment, Shakespeare was full of emotion, and even Karna, who had always been calm, opened his eyes slightly and looked down.
The stone-paved floor on which they serve as footholds - below which only a wide space opens.
In other words, they are floating in mid-air – this vain garden literally floats in the air!
"Surprised, right? Of course, it's not fast in terms of speed. ”
Assassin poured a hint of pride into his words.
The Empress of Assyria – Semiramis. Her treasure, the "Empty Garden of Vanity", is like an air fortress. But it is impossible to manifest it through magic. First of all, it is necessary to collect materials such as stone and wood from a specific area.
After collecting the materials, the Assassin performs a long ritual before the Noble Phantasm is fully formed. This is because the historical Empress Semiramis did not actually build a sky garden.
She hadn't actually seen the Sky Garden at all. However, she knew that it had been engraved in her memory as a fantasy, and she also had such a feeling. Although it was a mysterious phenomenon in the nature of later repairs, the impression that it was "an aerial garden built by the world's oldest assassin and the legendary empress" was too strong, and he possessed this treasure.
To manifest this artifact, it is first necessary to gather real materials based on this real world—wood, stone, minerals, plants, and water from the land where she used to live.
Reassemble the collected things, and let her reach the real fantasy through rituals. That's a false truth, a treasure that would never have existed in the first place.
Hence the name "vanity". To those who know the truth, this will only become a topic of ridicule. However, vanity does not necessarily mean vulnerability. No, at the moment when the materials were collected to complete the Noble Phantasm, at least in this era, vanity has changed to reality.
However, this garden, cloaked in fantasy, is far more exaggerated than the real thing, to the point of absurdity.
"Then everyone, the time for the general attack is set for this evening, please get ready. ”
The crowd fell silent. Of course, it's not because of fear. It's just that they feel that the big war is coming, which makes their hearts surge with a raging fighting spirit.
◇◇◇
Unlike Red's minions who are ready to go big, Black's minions are so methodical in their daily lives.
After a night of hard work, the Fiore and Caures groups rested in their respective rooms.
Vlad III and Danic talk about last night's battle while playing chess between kings.
Gold flew to the forest outside the city with Ziggy again, mysteriously not knowing what he was doing.
Roger and Avisbronn remained in the workshop, continuing their work of making puppets.
Roger never doubted that he would win the Holy Grail War, and in his opinion, the battle was simply unsuspenseful.
Black Lancer, Black Saber, Black Archer, plus himself and Caster's combination - with this lineup, he has the confidence to win no matter who the opponent is. More precisely, it should be confident that you can create a puppet that can defeat the other party.
Black's masters have a low opinion of the puppet. Of course, the puppet was indeed shattered in a blow from Saber in Red. However, those are just puppets used as sentinels. Although it is not inferior to other puppets in terms of ability, its main purpose is to detect and report, and it is not a combat-oriented type. If it's a puppet that can show its original combat ability, it will definitely not be defeated so easily.
Of course, they will still be defeated in the end, but after all, there are hundreds of puppets. If there were only ten or twenty puppets, Saber might not be injured, but what would happen if he was attacked by more than 100 puppets?
Although he understands that this is only on paper, the possibility is definitely not low.
However, if he wanted to capture Saber alive with a puppet, that expectation would be too high - he knew that too.
The problem lies in Caster's rival artifact, "Crown of Wisdom". Of course, Caster's treasure is also presumably a puppet. But when it comes to his specific gestures, Caster is somehow reluctant to say so.
That's because I'm immature – I hope so. However, from his words, it can be completely surmised that it is an existence with a huge body. And then, Caster told himself.
- That puppet is by no means invincible.
- Instead, it must be marked with the mark of how it will die.
- The puppets I made will gain life. Because of this, death is also possible.
- Puppets aren't just a way to make clay puppets move. The puppet is the creation of life...... That is, the imitation of primitive humans.
That's what Caster sees as a target. For Roger, who was only thinking about how to create more capable puppets, Caster's idea had too much impact.
I'd love to help him, and if I can't, I'd at least be able to keep an eye on him. To be honest, the Holy Grail War was nothing more than a hindrance for Roger. However, without the battle over the Holy Grail, he would not have been able to experience the miracle of summoning the Heroic Spirit firsthand, and certainly would not have been able to meet the Black Caster, Avisbron.
So, there is no way to fight. However, he obviously wanted to learn more from him, but the time for the Holy Grail War was too short - for this reason, Roger had already decided on his wishes.
Let the Black Caster get a physical body—that's his wish. And Caster also has a desire to fulfill it in this world. In this case, as long as I can help him, I will be satisfied.
Kuro no Caster listened to Roger's wish and said "thank you". The bland attitude remained the same, and the way of teaching did not become softer because of it.
However, only the mind is the same. Just understanding this is a big gain for Rogier.
So far, he had never thought it would be so much fun to communicate with others. What's more, the other party is an existence that he respects from the bottom of his heart, and this feeling is even stronger. Roger's parents had always been indifferent to him. No, although the Fren's family tradition is to raise children with puppets, which is also something that cannot be helped, but in other ways he does not feel the love from his parents.
Maybe that's necessary for magicians. Love for the family can sometimes become an obstacle on the path of searching for demons. In that case, it would be better not to give him such a thing in the first place—at least that's what the Freen family insisted on.
Moreover, Roger is the most gifted child since he was incorporated into the Yug Dominemlenia clan.
Roger himself had this understanding. When he deciphered the many secret books that his ancestors had painstakingly left behind, he wondered why it took so long to explain such a simple matter.
Then, the genius was summoned. Roger was initially impressed by the other party, and immediately regarded the other party as an object of worship. That's on the same level as myself...... No, maybe it's just a super genius who deliberately lowers his status to cater to his own level.
It's disrespectful to serve him or something. I am the one who must be guided by him. Then one day, I must see with my own eyes the final fulfillment of his wish.
In order to achieve this goal, I am willing to do anything. If a human life is needed, no matter how much, it will be found for him. Even if it is something that will harm the interests of the family, I am happy to do it.
Because there's no way around it. It's all about achieving teacher ...... What we have to do to make our dreams come true.
In this way, the youngest master looked at his servant and smiled wistfully. It's just that he doesn't know that he doesn't actually know about Avisbron in front of him, that man has never thought about anything related to human beings, he only cares about completing the treasure, and for this he will not hesitate to sacrifice anything.
◇◇◇
As for the last Master, she was furious.
- It's so hateful.
Serenike twisted her delicate beauty in anger as she walked forward with the sound of rattling footsteps down the hallway. No matter how much she tortured Astolfo with a hippie smile, she felt extremely depressed.
Even though the delicacies were close at hand, she was not blessed to enjoy them. Not only can I not eat my stomach, but even stabbing it with a fork is so hard that I can't even bite it.
For Serenicae, who was raised by the old women of the Black Magician, patience is synonymous with torture. The only thing she could endure was magic.
If there's anything that can distort that dignified face, it's probably the android who let Rider go back with. If you could gouge out Rider's eyes, cut off his arms, cut out his tongue, and dig out his intestines for him to eat himself, that Rider would have let out a desperate lament.
I'd love to see that look on his face. Would love to see it anyway. As long as you can see the loveliest of King Charlemagne's twelve warriors, Estolfo's distorted expression of despair, she doesn't care if she wants to die.
- At the same time, she felt that the android who had completely taken Rider's mind away was extremely hateful.
Ever since the Black Rider was summoned, Serenike had something she couldn't get no matter how much she longed.
That's probably what is called love. Dear, loving, and joyful for it—a completely incomprehensible affection for Serenikai.
Why didn't he throw this kind of thing at himself? It's hateful, he only has a life as fragile as a mayfly.
Originally, she wanted to start a thorough search. Not only is Sereniket a master of magic, but he is also more persistent than anyone else in the Yugdomilenia clan. Cyborgs are no different from pests to her now. It is also a type of pest that must be completely eliminated and must be cut and eradicated.
However, in any case, it is impossible to go out of their way just to find an artificial human. Using Serenikai's black magic, it's not impossible to find him. But there was a lot of preparation that needed to be done for this, and the most fatal problem was that the missing android was also a good magician.
As the saying goes, a mouse with no way to escape will bite a cat, and it is no joke to be bitten by the other party in the end. As for the androids, we can only wait until the end of this war.
Seeing Rider's depressed expression, she wanted to do something excessive. It was tempting to ravage him, to humiliate him, to plunge him into despair—this evil impulse that Serenikai managed to suppress. As long as this war ends, as long as this war is won, there will be no problem.
After defeating Red, he simply gave up his desire and fight, and used the Three Spells to torture Rider to death.
Probably because she was too anxious, she "banged" into an android as she walked. The young man who was in charge of delivering meals lowered his head and said "I'm sorry" with a blank look.
Just use him - Serenikai made the decision.
"You, come with me a little bit. ”
Cyborgs don't have the right to refuse, and Serenikai certainly doesn't show any mercy to androids who are servants. Further, consumption is a virtue of the magician.
So, Serenikai decided to vent his sulking in a way that even magicians looked down upon.
PS: Come on, come on, it's open, what kind of ending do you hope this girl will have?—— please think about the current strict environment of the online article, and give reasonable suggestions.
PS2: Of course, the concept of phantoms is not nonsense, and it is well documented that Shakespeare can make puppets of phantoms, which are all products that appear in Chapter 1.5 of FG0, Chapter 1, and it is in this chapter that Shakespeare's combat effectiveness has been qualitatively improved. If you're interested, you can take a look at the plot.,There's a full dialogue translation on the Internet.,Although most people's eyes are focused on the black nerd and black chastity after the costume change.,But the traitor still thinks these new concepts are more interesting.。
