Observe all that I say to you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Thou shalt not speak of the name of another god, nor let thy mouth spread it.
Whoever commits a transgression will be put to death. and every sloth shall be cut off from among his people.
- The Exodus
There is a local saying in China that group fights rely on brothers, and struggle depends on cannon fodder. This kind of Holy Grail War with many strongmen, I am afraid that if you show up at once, you will face the end of being beaten by the group, and at this time, a companion who can help you pull hatred is extremely important.
At the Makiri house, Caster and Shirou sat on one side of the heavy mahogany dining table, while Rider sat on a leather sofa.
"Is it okay to drink coffee?"
"Hmm."
"Ah, okay, thank you."
"Milk?" Caster asked.
"I'm sorry, no."
There was a coffee machine in the corner of the dining room, and Sakura poured the steaming-looking delicious coffee into four cups, and then placed it in front of the three of them, and sat down in front of Shirou with the last cup.
Caster seemed to like nothing more than milk, and instead of touching the coffee in front of him, he continued to speak.
"The most important thing for us Servants is to get the Holy Grail - it's not that the Master wants to summon the Holy Grail and summons the Servant, it's that the Servant responds to the call because he wants to fulfill his wishes.
The eventual winner is only a pair of rivals, and any alliance is fragile...... This is probably the fundamental reason why the Holy Grail War has no allies. However, unlike Shirou, we don't have any wishes that need to be fulfilled by the Holy Grail. ”
Shirou nodded, maintaining the humility that long-time priests had cultivated, and took Ccater's words: "Promise not to let the Holy Grail fall into the hands of those who have shallow desires for themselves, and bring the Holy Grail back to the Church after the Holy Grail War is over." Other than that, the church does not have any orders. ”
In this case, it doesn't hurt to give up the Holy Grail, but the victory or defeat of the Holy Grail War is not only the Servant, but also the Master...... To be honest, in this master, the most optimistic is the young lady of the Tosaka family, and if the winner is decided in the end, she will probably be the winner. ”
As she said Tosaka, Sakura's pupils shrank slightly, and Caster continued.
"It's because of the Master...... There are too many opportunities to turn this game around, but as long as people build up their positions, it will be difficult for other Servants to invade. If you don't even get rid of the weakness of [Master] being killed, with your strength, victory is within reach. ”
Caster concludes: "Together, there will be no contradictions, and it will be good for us. You can't buy a loss, and you can't buy a fool, it's a limited-time discount, and you won't lose money. ”
"Are you a salesman somewhere?" Hearing these words, Rider held the teacup in one hand and laughed: "In other words, you already know who I am and what my wishes are, don't you?" Magician. ”
"Of course, since ancient times, the king's wish has usually been that." Caster was not afraid to face this king of kings, and said lightly: "Conquer everything and reach the end of the world...... Then reign forever, and all you ask for is an infinite lifespan. Right? His Excellency Ramses II. ”
"Exactly."
Rider said proudly, "King, you should be born into the world to rule all things, and let my light shine on the heavens and the earth." On the day when I receive the holy relics, I will conquer everything and accomplish feats that Menes (the founder of the ancient Egyptian dynasty) cannot match. ”
His words were filled with a fighting spirit and unwavering self-confidence—like a saint who jumped out of the Bible, in Shirou's eyes...... No, it's the tyrant of the Bible.
"—yet."
Rider turned, his piercing eyes swept over Shirou, and then stared at Caster.
"So, magician, I am a war-loving king, and I am utterly incompatible with those who serve the Lord, and I hate Christianity very much, and I and your Master are incompatible from the beginning.
- Also, how did you find out who I was right away? Are you ready to be reduced to ashes when you know who I am and dare to appear before me with someone who serves Jehovah? ”
Rider's question hit the nail on the head, as Caster had just identified him as Egyptian, probably based on Rider's skin color and physical features. Moreover, if we know who he is, we should understand how much the great pharaoh had a dislike for the Jews and the church.
However, it was expected that he would ask this question. Caster reaffirmed the answer he had been thinking about all night last night. Ramses II didn't have the skills to see through lies, but he was an unusually smart guy after all, and now that he was so murderous, Caster had to think about his words.
There are only two people who will believe him.
"No, I was even more convinced when I saw you in person, and as Moses said, you are not a tyrant."
“……”
Her words seemed to make Rider extremely interested, and for a moment Rider's eyes became interesting when he looked at Caster.
Moses broke with you not because you hated each other, but because you both agreed with each other, and simply opposed your understanding of peace. You advocate for the domination of the strong over the weak, the life of trampling on the weak, and the maintenance of a dangerous peace of hostility between the two sides—and Moses' peace of not abandoning anyone. Even you don't know who is right, so he leaves, and you ...... It was deliberately made to let him go. ”
Rider's eyes were fixed on something that didn't seem to exist, as if looking into the distant past, Moses, one of the names he would never forget in his life, and now that name and his own name are etched in the Bible.
"War arises because of the mechanics of necessity, not because of stupidity or greed, but because man has been such a creature since the beginning of his life—and because of this is why the miraculous time of peace is so precious. War is for peace, conquest is for tranquility...... This is the miracle that you and Moses have worked together for thousands of years, Rider, and think of us as the power of your dear friend Moses who has come to help you over thousands of years—"
"So so, did you know me from Moses? - Ha, is that what Moses told you about the purpose of Nawu and Moses? Magician. ”
Rider regained his laid-back appearance and didn't seem to waver in the slightest. Caster shook his head and denied it.
"No, I have seen Moses, and this is something that only the natural kind, because people perceive the same smell from Moses and you."
- From Caster, Rider did not feel concealed or deceived, but truthfully expressed his emotions.
"Definitely. Everything is as you say. ”
As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to Shirou, who was sitting on the side, and said.
"-- Church vicarators. Unwavering in the face of my murderous aura, although young, it seems that he is indeed an excellent fighter. Teach those people to be as tame as a dove and act as a snake...... I see, it seems that you are no exception. ”
(Note: Matthew 10:16 – Be as clever as serpents and docile as doves.) )
RIder said with a deep smile as he stood up, arms outstretched exaggeratedly.
"I'm not much interested in the tricks that the mediocre people imitate, but it's good, Caster—well, I'll agree to this alliance."
ps: "Exodus" is the story of Moses leaving Egypt with the Jews in the Bible, the pharaoh in it is Rabi, and the great man Moses is Rabi's best friend, of course, the image of Rabie in it is also the same tyrant as Shining. There, Raji disobeyed God's commands in the same way as Shining, and even went against God......
Of course, here, I must revise the matter of pulling down two and Moses, and pulling two as a human being against God, you can imagine how crazy and cool and handsome ** blow up the sky.
