Chapter 10: The Perspective of Memory

Tosaka sat on a loose and comfortable easy chair in his room, listening to the roar of countless treasures outside as they cut through the skin and pierced the earth deeply.

"Hmmm! It's a good place to start......

The golden glow that shone outside reflected the silhouette of the magician talking to himself.

The golden figure seemed to be able to dispel all dark light, executing the intruder on the spot, and then returning to the house as a spirit, and the Servant, Archer, who appeared as a physical entity again, stood proudly beside his Master with a satisfied expression on his face.

Looking closely at this man, he was dignified, dressed in golden armor, with blond hair that stood upright like a burning flame, and a dignified face, a young man of incomparably more beautiful beauty, whose eyes were as bright as blood, and which exuded a mysterious brilliance that was not angry and self-threatening.

"It's really bothering me with some trivial things, Shi Chen."

Shi Chen stood up from his chair and bowed respectfully and gracefully.

"I'm so sorry, my king of kings."

As a Servant, he should be respectful to the Master who summoned himself, but Tosaka Toshitomi did not hesitate to be so humble to the Servant he summoned, because he is the heir of the noble bloodline, Tosaka Toshitomi is often extremely conceited with his "noble bloodline" that is far superior to others, but why is he so courteous to the heroic spirit he summoned in order to win the Holy Grail War, not only did he not use it as a servant, but treated him like a guest.

That's because the man who appeared in the world as Archer is the legendary "Hero King" Gilgamesh, the demigod and half-human king who ruled ancient Mesopotamia, has the longest history as a hero, and is the oldest king in the human world.

Tosaka Tokitoki's creed is to respect noble things, no matter how much you have the right to control the spell, or what kind of contract you have made, you can't turn the noble and the low upside down, so even as your own servant, the golden young man in front of you should be treated with the highest respect.

"All this is done tonight to save some unnecessary trouble in the future, I believe that after they have seen the power of the 'Hero King' tonight, those miscellaneous pieces will not dare to add to the chaos again."

"Hmm!" Regarding Shi Chen's judgment, Archer also nodded in agreement.

Such a respectful and respectful attitude as Shi Chen is rare in the current era, which he can understand as a hero king.

"Let's let the beasts fight each other for the time being, and then we'll see which one is worth hunting, and in short, wait for a while before we find the prey."

"Okay, let's take a casual walk to pass the boring time now, this era is also quite interesting."

When Shi Chen heard Archer say this, he was a little confused by him.

The Servant he summoned was indeed the strongest of the Immortals, but the Immortal's intense curiosity and the resulting unauthorised actions were a great headache for him.

Not a single night in the Ensaka mansion had been spent in the Ensaka Mansion since he came to the world, and even the fact that he had to keep Archer on the roof tonight in order to cope with the Assassin's attack had taken a lot of effort to convince him.

“…… Do you like it? This modern world. ”

"Irretrievable ugliness, but whatever I want, all I care about is whether there are any treasures in this world that are worth adding to my collection." After reining the smile on his face, Archer's red eyes were full of divine majesty and looked at Shi Chen, and slowly asked.

"If this is a world where there is nothing worth collecting,—— it would be a heavy sin to summon me for no sense, Shi Chen."

"Rest assured, the Holy Grail will surely please you, the King of Heroes." Shi Chen didn't feel uneasy, but replied confidently.

"I'll have to check it myself to find out...... However, forget it, for the time being, just do as you say, all the treasures in this world are mine, whether it is the Holy Grail or anything else, I will never let go of anyone who wants to take them away without my permission. ”

After releasing such a bold statement, the Hero King was released from his physical state, and his figure gradually disappeared like a burst of light.

"What you said about the lion or something, I'll look forward to it as a pastime for the time being, Shi Chen, I'll leave the details to you."

Shi Chen lowered his head and listened respectfully, until the aura of the Heroic Spirit completely disappeared in the room, he maintained that posture without slacking off at all.

“…… Oops, oops, ......"

It wasn't until the coercion of the gold had completely disappeared that the magician let out a long sigh.

For the Servants, in addition to the unique abilities of their Heroic Spirits, they will also gain abilities according to their rank in the present world.

Assassin's "Breath Cut", Caster's "Position Making", Saber and Rider's "Ride", and so on all belong to this category.

Similarly, the Present-World Servant who exists in the Archer rank gains a special ability known as "Acting Alone".

This ability to maintain a certain level of freedom of movement without relying on the Master's mana supply is especially important when the Master wants to consume all of his mana to activate the skill, or when the Master is injured and is unable to provide enough mana to the Servant.

However, there are pros and cons that the Master cannot fully control the Servant.

Gilgamesh, who is an Archer, possesses the ability to act alone equivalent to Tier A.

Not only can this level of ability be maintained in the present world, but even the battle and use of the Noble Phantasm can be carried out without relying on the support of the Master...... The Hero King was very satisfied with this, so that he could not worry about the meaning of the ministers at all, so we could often see him swaggering around Fuyuki City.

And Shi Chen, who has never established a magic circuit with the Servant, has no way of knowing what his Servant is doing.

For Shi Chen, who was not interested in anything other than his own world, he couldn't understand why the man who was the hero king was so immersed in the mass business of walking.

"Forget it, for now, just leave these things to Qili. - Everything is going according to plan now. Shi Chen smiled slightly as he looked out of the window at the courtyard downstairs.

Around the corpse of the Assassin who sneaked in, the sand and gravel that had been splashed by the over-attack were scattered and piled up, presenting a scene even more tragic than a bomb explosion.

……

"Ahh Next to the corpse of the vanished Assassin, there were two people standing arrogantly, it was Naraku, but all of them turned a blind eye to them.

No, it's not that they turn a blind eye, it's that they can't see the figures of the two, can't hear the words of the two, can't feel the breath of the two, and can't recognize the existence of the two.

"Is this man dead?" The girl among the two asked with some curiosity.

The two are none other than Naraku and Zig, who came to this world a few days ago.

After coming here, Naraku didn't wander around with Zig, instead, they found a big hotel to stay in, and then talked to Zigge about the power composition of this world and the [Holy Grail War] they were about to mess into.

They came here today to let Ziggy see the atmosphere of the real battlefield, and then see the so-called heroic spirits, their strength, so that Qige could be mentally prepared.

Although Ziggy has memories of her ancestors roaming the battlefield, it is only a memory that has been passed down after all, and it is not something completely her own, so Naraku asked Ziggy to experience the atmosphere of the battlefield for himself.

"Well, this is the cruelty of this battlefield, there is only life and death, there is no peaceful solution, I told you before."

"Well, but it's still a little hard to accept."

"However, there is no need to sympathize with them, they are no longer living people, and this figure is not their original figure, it is just a replica pulled down by the Holy Grail, and it is only a short life of seven days, it is almost a one-time labor!"

"It's a little pitiful!" Ziggy showed a sympathetic look for what happened to those Servants, because Naraku told her everything he knew, so Ziggy also knew what kind of existence these Servants were, and because of this, Ziggy felt sad about these Servants, even if they were replicants, but they were completely different from Fett, only a few days to live.

"You're so gentle, but you don't need this kind of thing on the battlefield, you should understand that! Of course, what kind of battlefield needs to be ruthless needs to be thought about by yourself, you don't need to dwell on the memories of the past and the like, what we have is the present, and what we are facing is the future, the past is just experience, and it is your own choice to treat him as a burden or something else, but don't forget, I have always been by your side. ”

Naraku's words are very realistic, and there are no false ingredients, but these words are really not suitable for Zigg, after all, he is still just a girl, unlike Naraku, a teenager (pseudo), although he has inherited the memories of his ancestors for hundreds of years, but in the end he has not experienced it personally.

It's just the images stored in your head and the experiences you've experienced, it's a completely different thing.

"Hey, Narokusan, by the way, one more thing, why are we standing here like this, they can't even see us."

"Of course this is my hand, well, compared to what I said, let's take a look around first!" Without answering directly, Naraku just smiled and opened his hands, allowing Ziggy to look around for himself.

"Huh!?" Ziggy looked away from Naraku with confusion at Naraku's words, and it was then that she realized that the surrounding environment was completely different from before, except for the ground beneath her feet.

The surrounding space has distorted at some point, and the space except for the earth where Naraku and Ziegy are standing has turned black, like a black hole-like infinite space.

"This is ......"

The earth beneath his feet began to move, moving through the space at a speed that Ziggy's eyes could not observe.

"Another Dimension (AnotherDimension)......" Naraku explained with a smile, "compressing space with great force, distorting time and space, creating a space to the other world, and banishing one's opponents to an unknown world that does not belong to this universe." If the enemy can't find the exit, they will drift to trillions of light-years away, leaving the opponent forever doomed, and it is a space skill that can easily eliminate the enemy from the battlefield, and it can also be used to move or dodge the teleportation terrain, etc., well, it may not be of much use to people who are also proficient in space. ”

After saying that, Naraku spread his hands and made a joke.

If this move in the different dimensional space is so easy to break, then it will not become the stunt of the Gemini Gold Saint Seiya, not to mention that there are not many people who are proficient in space manipulation, that is, Virgo who can freely enter and exit all spaces, after this trick, although he quickly ran back from the other dimensional space, but it also took a lot of strength, and even suffered a lot of injuries to succeed.

"If you want to learn, I can teach you, but with your strength now, it may be a little difficult to use, ah, by the way, you have already eaten the Divine Spirit Fruit."

After receiving Ziggy's acknowledgment, Naraku continued.

"The consumption of people who have not reached a certain level to use this trick is very large, after all, the quality and quantity of energy are a little different, but for you now, it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Well, I'll work hard to get stronger!" There was a look of determination in Ziggy's eyes, the look of a man determined to do something.

Incidentally, after eating the fruit of the Spirit Tree, Ziggy was also shocked by the effect, but to Naraku's delight, she was not confused by the power-enhancing effect of the Spirit Tree's fruit.

"Hmmm! It's good to be determined, but don't break your body. Naraku said with a smile, "I'll teach you first, as for how much power you can exert depends on your own efforts." ”

"I'll try!" Hearing Naraku's permission, Zieg looked back with a determined gaze.

"Ah, but, even so, don't be reluctant, if this move is used with magic power, it may take several years of practice to succeed, or it may take longer, it will be very hard!"

"I'm not afraid, I'm going to be strong and protect the important people I have now, and one day, I'm going to stand in the same place as Narokusan."

"Really? Then I'm looking forward to it. Looking at Zig who plucked up the courage to say this, Naro showed a gentle smile like a big brother, he was really very relatable at this time, but not too many people could see this kind of expression......

"It's late today, and from tomorrow we start our first fight, so we have to rest well in the evening." At some point, they were back in their hotel rooms.

This is the presidential suite, and with Naraku's financial resources, it was very easy to book, well, he didn't deny that he used some improper means, after all, he was a black household without a hukou in this world.

"Hey!" After answering, Ziggy obediently walked to the bathroom.
