"It's really clear that the two of us have negotiated such a serious matter, but we only use black tea to entertain guests, you little ghost is really stingy~ Although your tea is also very delicious." Seeing that the business is over, he no longer deliberately puts on a serious appearance. In an instant, he put away his solemn expression, and his face returned to the kind of immodesity that he was familiar with Emiya Shirou, and Zelrich raised his glass and drank it all.

"That's a faux pas. However, minors can't drink alcohol, and I don't have the habit of hiding alcohol, so I have no choice but to replace wine with tea. As Zelrich drank the tea, he drank the tea in his hand as he drank it, and Emiya Shirou put the cup back on the table.

"Huh? Underage?" As if he had heard some shocking secret, he almost poured the black tea he had re-poured and drank from his mouth one after another. Coughing a lot in a row, finally stabilizing the condition of his throat, Zelrich looked Emiya Shirou up and down, looking like he was hell.

This guy is underage? Just kidding, right?

Indeed, judging from the appearance, not only did he once appear as a child, but Emiya Shirou's current appearance looks like he is in his twenties, and the possibility of rubbing the edge of the minor is not ruled out

However, there are many people whose age is not proportional to their appearance. Not to mention anything else, Kurohime Naniko is the best example, she looks like she is only about a dozen years old, but her real age is almost more than fifty times her appearance. Moreover, although there are not many methods that are circulating among magicians and can be kept young, it is not difficult for a strong person of Emiya Shirou to develop it from scratch, and it is simply a bunch of them.

So, appearance is not enough to judge age, because that can be retouched. However, the steady temperament, mature gaze and experience of a hundred battles are not imitations that can be imitated.

That attitude, which is more stable and mature than that of ordinary adults, is difficult to cultivate unless you have considerable experience. In addition, coupled with the vicissitudes and feelings that can occasionally be shared with him, it doesn't look like something that a minor person can have!

All right. Take 10,000 steps back, just when Emiya Shirou has been out of the protection of his parents since he was five years old, going out to practice alone, and often experiencing great joys and sorrows, he has finally forged his incomparably mature mind and strategic vision. So, where did the combat experience come from? Don't tell the old man, I started holding a knife when he was five years old! In other words, does a five-year-old really have the ability to hold a knife?

Ah, but with this abnormal guy, maybe it's really possible?

"I'm a minor by law, and you should know that I have a guardian, right? You even turned out my family tree" frowned and quietly watched Zelrich's expression change and was silent for a long time, after all, he couldn't help but interrupt the rude thought in the heart of a certain old man, Emiya Shirou held his forehead and sighed softly.

"Ahh Listening to what Emiya Shirou said, Zelrich clapped his hands in a sudden realization. Indeed, in his investigation, Emiya Shirou should have only been eleven or two years old, and his father, Emiya Kiritsugu, also entrusted Emiya Shirou to an acquaintance of the female name before his death.

If I'm not mistaken, it seems that some big river is saying that this guy is really only eleven years old. Sure enough, it is worthy of being a storage zài who mastered the fourth method at a young age, and there are really enough perverts

Huh? But the first time I met him, old man, was a thousand years ago

"Really, if you want to think of something rude, please hide the expression on your face a little, okay?" Seeing that Zelrich's expression in front of him began to be wonderful again, Emiya Shirou frowned tightly and sighed again, "The household registration is not forged, and the family tree is also true." The reason why you met me a thousand years ago is purely the function of the law of time, and I owe Zhu Yue a favor in private, do you understand?"

"Huh?" In an instant, Zelrich's expression became more serious, "That means that you went back to rescue Zhu Yue that time." Can even history be changed? Really handy ability"

"No, have you seen me change history?" Deliberately accentuated the word history, Emiya Shirou tilted his head and looked at Zelrich with half-closed eyes

"Huh? What are you talking about? Didn't you save Zhu Yue slowly! You said "history" reflexively wanted to refute Emiya Shirou, however, he interrupted only halfway through the sentence, as if he had thought of something, and completely put away his playful expression, Zelrich looked down seriously.

"If there was a past, it was what happened. But what has happened is not necessarily "history". What happened is what happened, and the "past" is objective. However, history is written by human beings, and no matter what the "past" is, it is only "history" that is accepted and passed down by people."

In other words, just like in order to weaken the faction loyal to Zhu Yue among the Dead Apostles, no matter whether she is dead or not, as long as it is confirmed that she has lost her traces, the forces led by the Templar Church will still declare her dead to the outside world. And because they announced that Zhu Yue was dead, as long as you have a way to keep Zhu Yue from appearing in the next time, then you don't violate the simplicity of "history", your ability can only change the objective "past", but not the subjective history?"

"Yes. Once accepted by the vast majority of people, it will become the only "truth", regardless of whether it is true or not. If "history" were to be forcibly altered, the result would be that it would overturn the world's existing perceptions, and although there is no solid evidence, there is no doubt that something that would have such a large-scale impact would be more likely to change the way the world was to be changed than an intervention that would cause inhibitions. The former is a matter of my own life and death, and the latter is a matter of the survival of the world. If it's not necessary, I don't plan to try it."

However, there are so many variables that travel through time and space, and if one is not careful, it is not only the "past" that changes, but also the world and the world will be in danger. Empty sitting on the treasure mountain but can't enter, empty ability but can't be used?"

"Yes. This is my interpretation of my own ability at this stage" Without saying anything more, Emiya Shirou took a sip of black tea without saying a word

P.S.1: This is the second watch on Monday, which is said to make up for the day I broke off last Saturday because I had something to do, and it will be updated tomorrow (Tuesday) as usual.
