Chapter 241: New Servant of the Contract
"One hundred percent." Shen He replied without pause.
"It's good to be confident." Artoria was completely unconvinced, "But if it fails, all hope is vain." β
"Of course, let's go." Shen He just smiled, he didn't explain, and if he explained, it wouldn't be called a surprise.
It wasn't until Artoria and the Knights of the Round Table followed Shen He to the edge of the barrier that she noticed that he was the only one on Shen He's side.
"What about the rest of your servants?"
"They ......," Shen He touched his nose, "Anyway, I'll leave everything to me." β
Originally, he wanted to take the rest of the people with him, but Joan of Arc said that she would not bother him to recruit new followers......
The look in his eyes when he spoke, as if he was going somewhere to pick up his sister.
But recruiting new followers...... can't be considered a flirtatious girl! The relationship between the master and the servant,Can it be considered flirtatious?
"If only you had a good idea."
Artoria said this, and then fell silent.
She looked back at the city behind her.
Although this is not her kingdom, she was summoned here and felt a calling.
She couldn't save Britain, at least, she had to save it.
Shen He looked at Artoria's resolute gaze.
It's a little embarrassing.
I always felt that the joke might have been made, but along the way, I opened my mouth several times to explain, but I didn't know what to say.
On the contrary, the fighting spirit on Artoria and Tristan became more and more intense.
Finally, the group approached the giant tortoise.
It is completely inappropriate to say that it is in front of you, because for everyone, it is like reaching the bottom of a majestic mountain, and the sole of the foot alone is enough to cover half of the imperial capital, and it is really difficult to connect it with the real living thing.
The giant tortoise didn't seem to see everyone.
Who will pay attention to the dust under their feet.
"Shen He." Artoria held the sword in her hand, "You should have a plan. β
"Nature." At this time, Shen He already had an idea, "Artoria, you should be in an incomplete state of heroic spirit at this time. β
"......" Although it was a little strange that Shen He asked this question at this time, Artoria still nodded, "Not bad." β
It's different from ordinary Heroic Spirits.
She did not become a Heroic Spirit after death, but at the last moment of defeat, at the moment of dying, she signed a Heroic Spirit Pact with the will of the world, Alayya.
So her summoning, which is essentially a time jump, will return to her Arthurian era once she is victorious in the Holy Grail War and captures the Holy Grail.
And change everything with the Holy Grail.
"Do you really think that the Holy Grail can save your country?" Shen He turned around and asked as if inadvertently.
β......β
Artoria didn't speak.
Whether it is her in a normal state or she in a blackened state at the moment, there is only one wish to become a heroic spirit.
Save the Kingdom of Britain with the Holy Grail.
"I've been through a lot of worlds." Shen He stared into her eyes, "It's not impossible to reverse what has already happened, but it's just another timeline, and it's a lie to deceive yourself." β
"Are you laughing at my struggles?"
Artoria glared at Shen He, she was a little angry, no, it should be said that she was very angry.
"What if...... If I were you, I might struggle more than you. Shen He didn't look away, his expression was very serious, "I don't care if it's true or false, even if I know that the world after everything is just a lie, I will deceive myself and let myself live in this false world, but...... Do you really think so? β
Artoria hopes to return to the day she drew the sword in the stone, change her fate, and erase her existence as king.
Although this is an escape, there is nothing wrong with it.
But here's the problem β
"You're not this kind of evasive character at all." Shen He didn't want to give her a chance to breathe, and almost pressed step by step, "If you are, I will help you, but in my eyes, this choice is just your self-denial under extreme sadness, and that wish has really come true, and you will not be redeemed in that false world." β
"It doesn't matter what happens to me."
Instead of retreating, Artoria took a step forward.
She didn't care what would happen to her.
Only care about the fate of Britain, the fate of those people who died because she became king.
"That's right, you're not important at all." Shen He naturally could not admit it in such a simple debate, "But you blame yourself for the destruction of the kingdom, which is a very ridiculous idea, because it is not the heroes who make history, but the people, and even without you, Britain will also go to destructionβor even earlier." β
"It can't be!" Artoria couldn't accept this theory, "You have no idea how Britain perished, it's all me......"
"But I know no one can do it better than you." Shen He interrupted her, "Have you even denied your own merits?" β
"......," Artoria took a deep breath, "what exactly do you want to express?" β
"You're expecting the Holy Grail wrong." Shen He slowed down his voice, and he took out his holy grail from his backpack, "There is no regret medicine in the world, this, just like the sword in your hand, is just a tool to help us chase our goals, just like ...... It's the same now. β
As the words fell, the moving behemoth suddenly stopped slowly, lowered its body, and fell to the ground with a bang in the spectacular scene like a mountain shaking the ground, stirring up a large cloud of dust.
"This, you, you ......" Artoria was completely speechless.
Because she had already guessed what Shen He had done, but she was filled with a shock and emotion that she had never felt before.
Why didn't she think of it.
Even if Shen He and the others didn't appear, she could use the Holy Grail in her hand to sacrifice fewer people and control the giant tortoise.
But whether it is the white dumb hair king or her, from the beginning, all she thought about was to fight, or to escape, these two choices.
Just as she was king.
"Don't you want to come up and have a look?" Shen He stretched out his hand.
β......β
Artoria subconsciously reached out her hand.
Shen He pulled her and ran on the body of the giant tortoise, climbing all the way to the top of the flat head along the smooth scale armor.
Then, the giant tortoise slowly lifted its head, even over the mountain on its back.
A round of rising sun appeared in front of the two.
"The fate of another world has been changed." Shen He stretched his body lazily, "Every time I come to this time, I can always feel fulfilled and proud, and it is the same feeling when you led Britain to victory after victory." β
"What if ......," Artoria looked at such a beautiful view, but her voice was bitter, "what will you do if you fail?" β
"My words ......," Shen He asked his heart, "it will be very painful, very sad, and it will cry a lot...... But, Joan of Arc, Saiki, my companions, will comfort me and bear with me. β
"It's ordinary." Artoria muttered.
"yes, that's what ordinary people do." Shen He turned his head to look at her, "No matter what kind of failures you encounter in life, after crying and shouting, you can only accept yourself like that." β
That's nice.
An insignificant sigh seems to be heard.
In the corners of Artoria's eyes, a faint trace of crystal.
But it was soon covered by brilliance.
In Shen He's gaze, a white light surged from her body, and the pitch-black clothes turned into silver-white armor and a blue cloak in this light.
Dull, it's growing back.
"Artoria ......" Shen He was half excited, half nervous.
Artoria in front of her, compared with the previous Black King, has less coldness and more gentleness between her eyebrows.
"Shen He." She turned around and held out her hand, "Here's for you." β
"It's ......"
Shen He looked at the thing he handed over, it was a golden cup.
The Holy Grail that appears in this world.
"I've caused you so much trouble before." Artoria placed one hand across her chest and gave a standard knightly salute, "I'm sorry." β
"No trouble, no trouble."
Shen He waved his hand again and again, and he suddenly felt a little restrained.
"Now it's all over, that ...... Artoria, the matter of signing the Servant Contract......"
Although the dumb king and the black king in front of him share memories, after all, their personalities are different, and if the previous favor is all in vain, it will be a miserable loss.
"Thank you."
Artoria lowered her gaze slightly, with a hint of dazedness, and Shen He's heart tightened.
"It's just that the reason why I became a heroic spirit is to have a chance to change the fate of Britain, if everything is irreparable......"
"Then let's try it." Shen He stretched out his hand, "If there is any way, let's try it together, whether it is the Holy Grail, or anything else, the relationship between the servant and the master is originally to help each other, and your wish will also have a part of my responsibility." β
β......β
Artoria looked at Shen He's smiling face in a daze.
In front of a world that seems to have been miraculously saved.
The armor on his body was scattered.
Put the white palm into the palm of Shen He's palm.
If it is something that even the Holy Grail can't do, the man in front of him may really, be able to perform miracles again.
"In this way, we will be companions who share honor and disgrace from now on."
Shen He suppressed the excitement in his heart and the urge to put a ring on this palm, and took out the unsurprising forced contract card from the gold box he had just obtained in his backpack.
The contract of the servant began to be established in the souls of the two.
Since it just started, this time the event dungeon world has also ended.
Although he only harvested a dozen summoning stones, being able to summon Artoria was the biggest surprise, not to mention that there was also an Estes.
"Let's go, Tristan is still waiting below." Shen He pulled Artoria around.
"Master, ...... hand"
"That's right." Shen He suddenly turned his head and stuffed a cute lion doll from his backpack, "This is a gift for you." β
"Lion." Artoria took it with her other hand, somewhat surprised.
It turns out that it is not just a lion, but also a backpack with all kinds of delicate pastries in sealed bags.
At this moment, he even forgot that he was still holding the hand by Shen He.
