22 - On the Importance of Deception and Selling Teammates (2)
"Huh? No, no! Nothing. β
Hearing his friend's concern, Fang Fang was shocked to realize that he had inadvertently expressed what he thought on his face. Enqidu waved his hand to Niang in a panic to show that he didn't have any special problems.
Although it only appeared for a moment, Enqidu was sure that he was not dazzled by the person in front of him just now, holding a backup key that was controlled by Niang Shishi, and there should have only been one!
As the owner of the king's treasure, in fact, there is no need for a key at all, Niang Twinkle only needs to wave her hand slightly, and the king's treasure will naturally open the backup key As the name suggests, it is really just used for emergencies.
I still remember that when I asked about this backup key, Niang Shanshan once said with a smile, "Originally, as the king, you can open this treasure house as a matter of course with a raise of your hand." Although it was originally made with the idea of just in case, but now it seems that it is redundant, perhaps, the role of this backup key is probably just to give away. If you're interested, why don't you give it to you? After all, in this world, you are the only one who is qualified to touch the king's treasures with your hands. β
Although in the end, Enqi still shook his head and rejected Niang Shining's kindness, but only this first time he saw this key, he was very impressed.
Since then, the eldest bridesmaid has been shining so far, and it has been no less than ten times since she saw her mother sparkling bored and took out this backup key to play with it, if you talk about the depth of your understanding of this backup key, in addition to Niang Twinkle herself, there is no doubt that Enqi is the most familiar with it.
Because of this, just one glance is enough to judge that what is in Emiya Shirou's hand is not a fake. However, at the same time, Enkidu can be 100% sure that Niang Twinkle has never given the backup key to the king's treasure to anyone else! And now, this backup key should be on Niang Shining's body!
There is only one in the world, it is unique, and the holder never leaves the body, so why is there an identical backup key for the second one? And although the reason is unknown, the Emiya Shirou in front of him doesn't seem to want Niang Shinshin to know this, otherwise, he won't deliberately go to this position before revealing the key.
Intuition sues SΓΉ Enki that he has to figure out the whole thing, and judging from the fact that Emiya Shirou rescued him and his attitude all the time, he doesn't seem to be hostile to himself and his mother
For no reason, you are not polite to a strong man who is not hostile, except for being unwise, there is probably no more suitable word to describe this move.
Enki is not stupid. On the other hand, as a god-made thing, her IQ is smarter than most people, and this is just one more reason why she can't make a move against Emiya Shirou!
Considering that Niang Flashing pointed out that Emiya Shirou was in charge of time, Enkidu privately had an uncertain speculation that the key might be given to this person by the future Niang Flash. In this case, the question of why there is only one object in the world can appear in two at the same time can be answered
I don't think anyone can snatch the key to this treasure trove in the hands of Niang Shining. is to take 10,000 steps back and say that the key has been robbed, without the approval of the main owner (Niang Shanshan), the key will only be a useless piece of broken copper after all.
Presumably, no one would go to such great lengths to snatch a piece of waste from an unbeatable person, right? Therefore, assuming that Emiya Shirou really came from the future, compared to Emiya Shirou snatching the key from Niang Shining's hand, Enki is more convinced that Niang Shin Shin will hand it over to the other party
Strong and not hostile, and it is very likely that he will have a shallow relationship with Jill in the future, it will naturally not work
In that case, the only way to do this is to go with the flow and wait until Niang Shanshan is not by his side to ask him
"Say, since this gentleman has said so, do you want to do what he wants?" Having made up his mind, he pretended to pull out the sword that had been crutched to the ground, and Enkidu took a few steps forward gently, standing only a few steps away from Emiya Shirou. Then quietly moved his gaze to Niang Shanshan, waiting for her instructions.
As a friend of Niang Shining's friends for many years, Enqidu is naturally very clear about her proud character
Or for other smart people, this kind of thing is just an old-fashioned method. However, for Niang Shanshan, who is accustomed to doing things that she knows she can't do, and doesn't even obey the will of the gods, there is no easier way for her to be fooled.
If his own speculation is true, presumably, the Emiya Shirou in front of him is also familiar with Niang Shining's personality, so he deliberately said this, right?
"Humph! As a king, the king still has the proper bearing, put away his weapons! Enkidu. "As a result, it was just as Enkito and Emiya Shirou had expected. Despite the slight reluctance on her face, Niang Shanshan gently waved her hand to Enqidu. It's just that, on the other hand, when he looked back on Emiya Shirou, it was as if he had written it, and Niang Shining's face was full of dissatisfaction, "So, it's time for you to answer my question, right?" Half-human. β
"Understood. You mean where I came from, right?"
In terms of the result, I don't know whether I made a profit or a loss. However, he didn't have time to complain so much, and after sorting out his thoughts a little, Emiya Shirou began his big plan.
"Below, it's not a god, it's a forger who specializes in helping Wang you repair treasures." Without blinking, Emiya Shirou moved out of the position that he had learned from Young Flash, and pressed it on his head that Niang Flashing wanted to do by himself.
Well, in fact, Emiya Shirou is not entirely lying. If Twinkle breaks something that day and takes it to him to fix it, he will really volunteer to help the other party repair the object.
After all, there are forgers or something, and there are full-time and part-time details, so it's good to skip it
"Huh? Are you kidding? Don't let this king say the same thing a second time, this king doesn't remember that his people have a strong man like you!" The mother raised her eyebrows reflexively.
If it's said that it's an ordinary strong person, it's okay to say, maybe you might really miss it. However, in addition to being in charge of time, you are also in charge of space. If you go to the level of Emiya Shirou, I'm afraid you can already match yourself if you go all out, right? Such a strong person will not be able to find out on his own? It's a fantasy!
"No, no, you're not lying, are you?" Seeing that the mother's shining tone began to reveal distrust, Wei Gong Shirou hurriedly waved his hand, and then pretended to be helpless and sighed, "Well, but seriously, it's no wonder that Wang You don't remember After all, it's been so many years." β
"Go on." Hearing Emiya Shirou talk about temporality, Niang Shishan was obviously silent.
To be honest, if Emiya Shirou had used some other reason, Niang Shining would undoubtedly refute it immediately.
However, only mentioning "temporality" is the only area in which she cannot firmly refute it
For the rest, there are only extremely vague impressions, not to mention the accuracy of everything, even if you ask her what life was like when she was a child, she can't answer
"It was many years after now, when I met the king who was still a little girl on the street somewhere. Then after a period of time, because you saw Zaixia's ability, Wang You said that you wanted to recruit Zaixia as a forger to repair treasures."
Embellishing the words, he selectively recounted the events of the first time he and Flashing Flash met (about 5,000 years later), while projecting the black sword that had just been used as an arrow, and at the same time breaking down the black sword into raw materials, and finally, only an unnamed piece of metal and some unknown powder lay in the palm of his hand.
Emiya Shirou blew lightly, and the powder drifted into the air and slowly scattered, and then, Emiya Shirou gently put the metal block on the ground, and then raised his head to look at Niang Shining.
"Presumably, with the king's all-knowing and all-powerful star, he must be able to see that my ability is not an ordinary copy of a fake, right? In addition to copying, it is more important to extract the raw materials of the finished product separately, or directly disassemble it back into the raw material, and finally re-forge new treasures. To put it simply, it is a forging master who does not need capital. In addition, you can also transform or strengthen the original treasure, but the success rate of the process of reforging is a bit low," said Emiya Shirou rubbed his hair helplessly.
Although the helplessness at the beginning was pretended, but now this is from the heart
It doesn't matter if you strengthen the treasure, the success rate is actually quite high. But the success rate of reforging the treasure is really low
As a forger who basically didn't have to collect raw materials, Emiya Shirou had theoretically saved a lot of time compared to other forgers. However, in the years since his rebirth, there have been very few treasures that have been successfully made in his hands.
If you really want to count, there is probably only the nameless long knife in her hand, the necklace given to Karen at the beginning (which has been transferred to Young Shining), and then the amulet given to Karen to gradually heal her physique, and the bracelet that was given to the body of the two ceremonies not long ago (mainly for her father and the old immortal of the Liangyi family) can be said to be a successful product
To be honest, what he wanted to do most was something that would automatically activate the Seven Rings when the wielder was in danger, but unfortunately, he hadn't succeeded so far
"Indeed, regardless of the fact that I have never seen you when I was a child, seeing such a convenient and practical ability, compared to curing your crime of using counterfeits, I should be inclined to recruit you to be the king's forger."
The results observed with the all-knowing and all-powerful star were the same as what Emiya Shirou said, and as Emiya Shirou spoke, Niang's shining face gradually became kinder. In the end, Niang Shanshan nodded lightly in agreement, and the initial dissatisfaction was gone.
It's just that suddenly, Niang Shixing seemed to think of something, and the next moment there was a hint of gloom on her pretty face.
"But since you only appeared now, that is, did you reject this king at that time?"
As a rather proud king, Niang Shanshan naturally doesn't like others to refuse her invitation.
Apricot eyes widened, Niang Shining glared at Emiya Shirou fiercely, and her pretty face was full of "What's going on, if you don't answer well, I'll give you a good look" However, if you really want to compare, compared to the distrust and vigilance at the beginning, Niang Shining's attitude at this moment is more than the dissatisfaction of a girl with high self-esteem when she is rejected.
Seeing that Niang Shining's attitude had softened significantly, even Enqi, who had retreated to the side, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Emiya Shirou didn't say something wrong, it would probably be fine
"Well, actually, I didn't say no. It's just"
"Just?"
"It's just that not long after you invited me, my friend (Kurohime) was attacked by an unknown creature (ORT), and after the king defeated the creature with the help of the king, I have been living with my friend (two ceremonies, etc.)."
"Then your friend now"
They paused, and Emiya Shirou's voice became slightly heavier, "Not in the world (not born yet)." β
"I see" Hearing Emiya Shirou's voice became slightly heavier, it was natural to misunderstand that his friend had passed away, and Niang Shin looked away embarrassedly, "Okay, as a king, I still have the demeanor I deserve." I will forgive you for this. As for after that"
"Just let this gentleman follow us, shall we?" Seeing that Niang's tone softened significantly, and seeing the opportunity, Enqidu, who was standing on the side, immediately jumped out and raised his hand.
Hearing that her friend had no objections, with an inquiring look, Niang Flashing turned her head to look at Emiya Shirou.
"I am willing to serve the king."
Flicker success!
Suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, Emiya Shirou bowed lightly.
P.S.1: Because I wanted to solve it in one go, I got more and more yards, and I ended up reaching this number of words for the first time in a long time
