Fourteen - Interlude - The state of mind of the hero king

In a wooded area in Europe

A little girl with blond hair, a double ponytail, and a casual dress leaned quietly against a large tree, her eyes gently closed, without making a sound, as if she was one with nature

Losing the lively feeling of the past, only a solemn and complex look remained on the delicate face.

The other party explained that the things he had prepared, those items used to supply magic power were already in place, but it was better to say, just in case, he even prepared more than double the amount, so there was no problem in terms of magic power

As for the technique, although it sounds incredible, the other party really has a successful case, and in addition, he has also verified it with the all-knowing and all-powerful star, perhaps, it is precisely because he can do what should have been impossible, so he can be called a magician, right?

The problem of magic power has been solved, the spell has been studied, and the caster has enough ability to cast spells, and he has also handed over the token and the control of the treasure house to him.

There will be no failure to cast a spell, and when he returns, he can also get help from his former self and his friends

Infallible. Is your long-cherished wish about to be fulfilled?

No

In fact, the situation is far from so rosy. All that is ensured is the bare essentials of success, that is, the ability to go back to the past. As for the development after going back, it is something that even he who has the all-knowing and all-powerful star, and even who has mastered the mysteries that the world cannot touch, cannot predict.

It was a generation of gods and demons.

It must be known that most of the gods are arrogant, although there may not be so many of them, but they have considerable strength. It is precisely because we regard human beings as ants and have no compassion that once we intersect, even if it may be just a trivial matter, we may recognize it as a great shame and do everything possible to take revenge, and we will not die

Considering the strength of the other party, and the repulsion of the gods to powerful humans, things may be further complicated and difficult, in case, if you are really unfortunate enough to provoke the gods, in the worst-case scenario, maybe it will become a situation where the gods of the past unite and send the bull of the sky to deal with themselves, but this time the target will be changed to Emiya Shirou

Originally, to disobey the orders of the gods and save Enkidu would have made Emiya Shirou stand on the opposite side of the gods, and if something really happened, would he really be able to survive this difficulty? Gilgamesh did not have enough confidence to answer this question

Indeed, if you count the diversification of combat methods, the adaptability of the battlefield, and various magic (law) means, Emiya Shirou's combat effectiveness is directly catching up with his own, and even in that era, he will be the best in the front line. However, at that time, he was able to successfully defeat the Heavenly Bull by joining forces with Enki, and even if he provoked the gods, he might not be far from the point of asking the gods to send the Heavenly Bull, a monster that even the gods feared, but even if the opponent was other monsters weaker than him, could Emiya Shirou really defeat them alone?

In addition, demons are generally ferocious, and although their individual strength may be inferior, they are so numerous that they are everywhere. Because of this large number, it is even more inevitable than the gods to encounter demons that regard humans as prey, and if they do, most of them will come in several, ten, or even entire groups. Two fists are hard to beat four hands, and even I have to admit this

Although, Emiya Shirou's ability is more comprehensive, whether it is long-range combat or close combat, he is proficient in both long-range and melee combat, with his multi-faceted magic and the only magic (the fourth method), the combat methods that can be used and the situations that can be dealt with are theoretically more than himself, but if he is really targeted by a whole group of powerful demons, if he is not sleeping, eating, or drinking water for 24 hours and concentrate on dealing with the hunting of demons, he will be exhausted to death before being torn apart by the enemy, right?

What's more, although the creatures of demons dare not say everything, most of them are injured no matter how badly they are injured, their wild instincts will also make them fight to the end without stopping to kill the target and the number of kills is inexhaustible, compared to the gods, it can also be said to be a potential risk that cannot be ignored

Even with the strength of the gods and demons in their heyday, there are too many beings who can threaten the life of Emiya Shirou. What's more, with the character of his former self, even if he has a token, except for Enkidu, will his former self really help obediently, or even just not hinder Emiya Shirou? Gilgamesh still couldn't answer that

At the same time that I asked the other party at the beginning, because I suddenly found a ray of light, I was carried away by joy and hope, and I didn't think of this for a while. However, now after a while, my mood began to calm down a bit, and when I looked back carefully, I gradually realized that in fact, the success rate and the risk to Emiya Shirou were still the least unknown, and it would not be a task that could be achieved lightly.

Moreover, although he planned to let Emiya Shirou use the method he used last time to save Enkidu, that is, to put Enkidu into a state of suspended animation to satisfy "history" to deceive the gods, and then throw her into his own treasury, and then wake up Enkidu after Emiya Shirou returned to satisfy his wish to save her, but if you think about it further, this method is actually not feasible

After all, Enqi was created by the gods, and once the gods had this meaning, she immediately turned back to the specific way of death of the original clay, and made a general fake death that could not deceive the eyes of the gods

Thinking that Emiya Shirou was also aware of this, so even if he didn't bring it up in person to avoid hitting his self-confidence, he had to ask for a lot of materials in the list he asked for later, intentionally or unintentionally, instead of specifically naming the medicine that needed to fake his death, so that he could find another way to rescue Enkidu later.

It's extremely difficult, the risks are extremely high, and the rewards are quite limited, and to be honest, this mission didn't do much good for Emiya Shirou

Will he really come to his aid as promised?

The safety of life is at stake, and this is far beyond the realm of "good people" who can explain it

If he said that he was also impulsive at the beginning, so he agreed to his words without thinking clearly, with his mind, it is impossible not to think of the above conclusion after so long now

Although,It's not unprecedented.,I'm not unfamiliar with the fact that he'll sacrifice his life to help others.,,He will sacrifice his life to save that knight.,There's no denying that the other party is a very important person to him.

If the object is changed to be himself, for the sake of this person who has no deep friendship with him and has little to do with him, will he really be willing to take risks?

I don't know

Gilgamesh could not answer this question either

The mood is becoming more and more irritable and depressed, but there is no way to relieve it

Is the only thing left to do is to continue to wait quietly until the appointed time?

P.S.1: Well, it's totally a transition.
