Chapter 20: EBNER's Preparatory Project

"What is this?"

In the ice castle of the river, the heroic voice echoes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Leonidas had changed back into his golden armor, and his crimson cloak burned like a flame on the balcony. He held a whetstone in his right hand, and the blade of his spear in his left hand was glistening in the moonlight.

Of course, the Heroic Spirit's weapons don't become sharp because of polishing, which is actually just a psychological comfort. It's like hiding from the cat, silently saying "you can't see me" in your heart. If you can change reality just by thinking, then no one will have to work so hard.

With the weapon maintained, Leonidas turned his gaze back to his master.

Last night was so excited that he still wondered if there would be one of those blinding Heroic Spirits rushing in today to try to assassinate his master.

However, it doesn't seem to be......

When there was nothing to do, the night became boring, and in search of a topic, Leonidas asked his master.

After all, what Abner is doing now is not the same as the commonly understood [fighting].

He...... in engraving.

It literally means that with a file and a small hammer, you can hit the stone in front of you one by one, and the sharp file obviously has some kind of magic attached to it, glowing with a cyan glow, and every time you touch the lead-gray stone, it will file the stone like mud......

This level of sharpness is not something that can be prevaricated by [scientific and technological progress] casually.

Abner seemed to be preoccupied with what was at hand, ignoring him. Leonidas could only look for himself and judge for himself.

At first glance, it seems that Abner was going to carve a portrait.

Because you can clearly see the arms and legs with muscular lines.

However, it doesn't look like a carved portrait at all.

Because all the parts are separated.

For example, the upper arm, lower arm, chest, lower abdomen...... Carve the whole human race out of stone......

Although the Spartans did not understand art, they still had the most basic common sense, and to carve a portrait of a person, it was necessary to carve it out of a whole large stone.

Abner was carving the shape of a human head, he was engrossed, his forehead and skin were dripping with sweat, and his sea-blue eyes were full of concentration, staring seriously at what was in front of him.

"Whew-"

After a long time, he let out a sigh of relief, and with satisfaction, he lifted the stone statue head in front of him, revealing a relieved expression.

"So, what is this? Voodoo puppet?"

"Haha, if I use a stone to make a voodoo puppet, how do I stick a needle into it?"

"By magic?"

In the face of Abner's ridicule, Leonidas responded seriously, but at the mention of magic between his eyebrows, the look of disgust lingered, and Abner keenly noticed this, and explained without a trace: "This is a puppet." Or rather...... Golem. It's a special kind of demon. The Magic Society asked me to help them...... Just prevaricate with this. ”

By carving human forms from a variety of materials and inscribed magic on them, you can create warriors who are absolutely obedient to orders, with a hard body, a fearless quality, and a low manufacturing cost. There seems to be a magician who specializes in strengthening [manufacturing], and there seems to be a very good magician in the clock tower, a grand-level puppeteer, but in the era of Abner's birth, she is no longer in the clock tower, which is a bit of a pity.

Now Ebenard was ready to carve several golems and offer them to the Magic Society, and then refused to provide further help on the grounds that "magic drives lancers". Reasonable and reasonable.

"Prevarication...... You don't seem to be paying much attention. ”

Leonidas was very curious, he didn't have any special desire for the Holy Grail, but Albert was different, he made it clear that he wanted to get the Holy Grail, although he didn't have a wish, but he longed for the [Holy Grail] itself, but now a group of outside helpers said that they would help him get the Holy Grail, but he didn't seem to be very concerned......

"yes. If only the Magic Guild and the Templar Church had stopped making a mess. Because...... It's already a mess. ”

Abner sighed thoughtfully.

Suddenly, he asked, "Now, Leonidas, you are one of those heroic spirits who embrace glory." ”

"Of course, every Spartan is a proud warrior. ”

Leonidas puffed up his chest and slammed his fist into his armor with a thud.

"So, if the opponent is a monster without benevolence, he will definitely not let him go, right?"

"Of course. ”

"Hmmm......"

Alberner answered, a hint of displeasure flashing across his eyebrows.

Monsters without benevolence.

He just made this description explicit. Who are they mapping? Is it the impersonal magicians, or is it ...... What about the berserker who killed at dusk?

Through the message sent by the demons, Abner has confirmed that among the participants in this Holy Grail War, the Berserker master is a man without mercy, and the Berserker is also a monster who slaughters like crazy.

If possible, want to prioritize excluding them.

Alberner's heart couldn't help but think of Rin Tosaka. The great predecessor of magic, the old man who loves his granddaughter.

Didn't want to betray her expectations.

As a magician, Abner can only be called naïve. For the sake of their own achievements, they can hurt others without scruples, from obtaining materials to depriving them of their lives, there are too many such magicians, too many to mention.

But Abner is different......

From the very beginning when the strategy was specified, the boring human touch has always occupied a considerable place in his heart. took the initiative to expose his position in order to cover Mina.

After knowing that the Magic Association had sent someone over, the first thing he worried about was whether Mina would be ruled out. So he intensified his search for demons, trying to find out about Mina, or the Magic Association.

After learning that the Berserker was a beast through the demons, the idea of killing the Berserker first arose.

As a magician, this mode of thinking is too inefficient.

His way of thinking is closer to that of an ordinary human being.

Abner, who studied the way of the devil and studied modern science, and was able to dabble in two opposite paths without any hesitation, was actually such a naïve person.

However, perhaps only such a naïve person would have no concept of a gatekeeper faction and resolutely devote himself to science for his dream......

The night became thicker and thicker, and the master and the servant stayed quietly, waiting for the night to pass
