Condensed air, stiff silence, the whole forest was very quiet, punctuated only by the occasional birdsong. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The sky illuminated by the bright moon, the old trees that give people a sense of sacredness, and the young branches that exude a fresh breath...... The beautiful scenery of nature will naturally make people feel refreshed; But the metropolis made of steel and concrete is also full of artificial beauty.

Just looking at the night view of Dongmu City from the edge of the forest, this handsome man with a sturdy figure, Ziggy, almost had a sense of joy bursting out of his chest.

What a blessing...... Ziggy thought as he walked, thanks to the attack of unknown people, he easily escaped from the underground cell of Einsbelen Castle. Thanks to this sturdy body, I didn't feel tired at all after walking for hours in one go, and I didn't feel a trace of chill at all when I was wearing such thin clothes in winter.

Ziggy understands that this is because his body is such "one thing".

No ancestors, no brothers and sisters, a sturdy body far beyond the average human, a first-class magic circuit, an artificial man made by alchemy magic, another [masterpiece] made by Einzberen that can use the Heroic Spirit - this is his true face. Even his name, Siegy, was taken from the name of the great hero Siegfried at his disposal.

Moreover, compared to Angelica, who could only use only a part of the [King's Treasure], Ziggy showed far more adaptability than Angelica, and when he used the "Heroic Spirit Dependence", it can even be said that he summoned Siegfried completely with the power of the Heroic Spirit.

The reason for this lies in the three jet-black coats of arms on the back of Ziggy's right hand...... Something called the Dragon Commandment Spell.

The great hero Siegfried is the prince of the Netherlands. Siegfried received the famous sword Balmung from the Nibelungen, and obtained the Body of Steel by killing the evil dragon (Fafnbar) and bathing in its blood. A true hero with both an invincible sword and an invincible body, his only weakness is a place on his back covered by Bodhi leaves when bathed in dragon blood.

Legend has it that after he was stabbed in the back and died, the treasure of the Nibelungen also sank in the Rhine, originating from the German alchemy wizard family Einzbelen, who also spent a lot of effort to find Siegfried's treasure.

They did find something very valuable...... That is exactly the blood of the evil dragon Fafnir.

As you can imagine, it is a magical thing that can be compared to the scabbard of King Arthur, the fossil of the skin shed by the world's first snake. Out of their obsession with the Holy Grail, the old men of Einzberen did not hesitate to use it on Ziggy, who was very thin at the time, hoping to make this artificial body more powerful, after all, unlike Angelica's Noble Phantasm, Siegfried's Noble Phantasm has a very large load on the body.

This has proven both successful and unsuccessful.

The reason why it is said to be a success is because the dragon's blood has made a great change in Zig's body. The flawed artificial human body, which originally had a lifespan of only three years, became a strong body, and even received a three-way sigil called the [Dragon Decree Spell].

His Heroic Soul Dependence barely needs Miyu's magical powers, but through the use of the [Dragon Command Charm], the Dragon Slayer of the Netherlands returns to the present world on this artificial body, so that the physical information is reflected in the appearance, the combat experience is accumulated, the inherent ability is materialized, and the Noble Phantasm is reproduced - in short, Siegfried is completely reproduced in the form of a Heroic Spirit.

It was the dragon's curse that accomplished this miracle, and it was the dragon's blood that allowed this transformation, hence its name the dragon curse. However, every time the [Dragon Command Spell] is used, Qi Ge will consume a lot of life force, and after using the spell three times, it is equivalent to exhausting all the life energy, and the reappearance time is a short three minutes each time.

This is a unique miracle in the long history of alchemy. Einzberen was ecstatic about the result, but the euphoria did not last long.

Ziggy is not an android servant who is loyal to Ainzberen like Angelica, he is not a hero who gives up everything like Miyu, and he is not a hero with a noble personality like Siegfried. As an artificial human, he has a strong obsession with "wanting to live", full of love for life, and he neither wants to kill nor fight.

As a mass-produced pure industrial product, but want to live a free life? Impossible, obviously like garbage, how could he be integrated into the world - it was incomprehensible to Einzberen, who had lived in the frozen castle for many years.

In their eyes, Ziggy's idea was a rebellion, and if it weren't for the fact that Ziggy was a very precious [sample], he would have been dismembered long ago. Darius locked him in the basement of a Japanese castle, intending to release him only during the battle, and completely use Siggy as a [pawn of the dead man].

It's just that Emiya Kiritsugu's invasion was completely unexpected by Darius, and the betrayer of Kiritsugu almost destroyed the entire castle, and Zigg also took the opportunity to escape, and because Kiritsugu destroyed the forest barrier, Zige's escape was not discovered by Darius - although they did not meet, Zige was very grateful to the intruder.

Turning over this hill, Ziggy has already seen the road, and as long as he walks into the city of Dongmu, which has a population of tens of thousands, it will be difficult for Ainzberen to find himself.

Next, as long as you manipulate the human consciousness through suggestive magic, you can create a false identity and live the peaceful daily life you desire, and even use Togi as a springboard to travel to other countries.

As if to say goodbye to the past, Ziggy exhaled a long breath, and was about to walk towards the highway—

"Please wait!"

Pursuers?! Ziegy hurriedly turned his head to follow the voice, and at the same time, for a moment, he froze.

“――”

Even the exclamation could not be uttered. He saw a young girl standing there.

The girl's hair, swaying gently in the light of the dawn glimmer through the cracks in the trees, was as beautiful as a golden silk. The pair of amethyst-like eyes staring at him were incomparably clear, making Ziggy involuntarily feel an inexplicable sense of guilt.

Ainzberen also gave Ziggy the basics of the Holy Grail War, and in Ziggy's opinion, the girl in front of him was wearing armor and should be a Servant - but unlike Berserker, she didn't have that huge magical feeling on her body.

Or maybe it's a state of being fascinated by art. Before Ziggy knew it, he walked towards the girl's side. Just as he was about to reach out and touch the cheek of the girl who was crouching there, the sword hanging from his waist sounded as if it were a warning.

The two sides were silent, their eyes intertwined, and Zieg couldn't help but feel a little confused in his head.

"You...... What the hell is ...... What the? ”

The blonde girl asked with a confused frown.

PS: Ziggy is finally out and begins his journey to Joan of Arc's sisters, which is considered to be a ...... Wait, RIDER doesn't seem to have come out yet......
