Chapter 296: Trust
Unlucky.
As the saying goes, people who are unlucky will stuff their teeth when they drink cold water, and he Su Shu is real person will know what bad luck is, and he lost a cute spell and a spell for discipline, in exchange for a crippled servant who has no fairness at all.
In the world of the Immortals, is it fair that there is no Noble Phantasm?
Su Shu didn't blame Avenger, he only blamed himself for being too incompetent, and at the same time disgusted that the world had inflicted so much injustice.
Seeing him expressionless, Avenger was very apprehensive, at first he thought that he could have a place among the servants with his own strength alone, but he didn't expect to lose even his own strength to an unknown cavalry like Rider, not to mention that she would face Saber and Archer, who are good at fighting in the enemy team in the future, and she couldn't get out of the illusion that Caster had created just now.
Can you really get the Holy Grail?
Avenger was already a little disheartened, and only felt that the future was bleak, just like Chongzhen who had been powerless in the past for seventeen years, she couldn't do anything, except to vent her emotions frantically, the rest was just sitting alone on the dragon chair and waiting for death.
Could it be that God gave her a chance to start over, but she still couldn't do anything?
A single setback nearly shattered Avenger's confidence.
Su Shu saw it in his eyes, neither enlightened nor reprimanded, but didn't say anything, just stared at her.
Does he need something to get her confidence back?
Useless.
Avenger is too similar to his temperament, equally extreme and suspicious, no matter how hard he struggles, he will only mess things up, he will not listen to others, and in the same way, she will not listen to persuasion.
But doing nothing is absolutely not okay.
Su Shu's heart moved, and he stepped forward to hold Avenger's cold hand, but he couldn't bring the slightest warmth, because his hand was also cold.
Cool on cool, does it make any sense?
Of course.
As a fellow traveler with a similar personality, he understands best what Avenger needs most, not some high-sounding words of comfort, but a trustworthy and reliable person to relieve his inner loneliness.
So, is he trustworthy to look reliable?
As the master who almost has the power of life and death over the servants, if he is not trustworthy and reliable, then she might as well hang herself again.
Throughout her life, Avenger has never really trusted anyone else, and she can't rely on anyone, after all, she is the emperor, and she is a dead king who has been abandoned by her ministers, although she has always refused to admit that the Ming Dynasty died at her own hands, and has always shifted the blame to her courtiers, and she cannot change the fact that she is essentially incompetent.
Walking on the road of madness and death, no one wants to stand with an incompetent person like her, if there is, it will only be Su Shu at this moment, because he has no choice, and he is also an incompetent person.
"You ......" Sure enough, after his hand was unusually held by him, Avenger hesitated and slowly looked up at him, "Are you still willing to trust me who is so unbearable?" ”
Su Shu nodded without hesitation.
Just kidding, if he doesn't trust her, can he still change his servant?
"Thank you." Avenger whispered his thanks and buried his little head again.
The hands are beautiful.
Moving his gaze down to Avenger's slender and white little hands, Su Shu wondered if he would add another special hobby? No way, he'd never seen such a beautiful hand, even Emilia with elven blood didn't have such a beautiful hand, probably this is the unique dragon claw, right? And what about Dragon's Foot......
Su Shu immediately dispelled this stupid thought, the dragon is untouchable, and only Xia Lan is the object that can be touched alive.
Speaking of which, are Xia Lan's hands good-looking? He really hadn't observed it carefully, he only knew that Xia Lan's foot shape was the most beautiful he had ever seen in his life, and he even wondered more than once if he was slowly thinking about Xia Lan because of this.
Off-track.
Su Shu reluctantly let go of Avenger's little hand, but his acting skills were very exquisite, even if his mind was full of cranky thoughts, he still maintained a cold surface posture, and did not let Avenger, who was a servant, notice the slightest abnormality.
"I don't know what the outcome will be, but I will continue to work hard. Thank you, Lord Mistress. ”
This is a guarantee made by Avenger, and it sounds very unreliable.
Why?
Because Da Ming died of her toss.
Of course, Su Shu would not say such hurtful words that were not beneficial to himself, all he had to do was to use his understanding of the Holy Grail War and the advantages of his thinking as a modern person to correct her mistakes step by step, which was the responsibility of the Imperial Lord.
Suddenly, for a moment, he was glad that his servant was Avenger, although the other party was indeed incompetent, but after contact, his personality was unexpectedly very compatible, which was not just because of the spell, but because of the personality problem, or the mysterious point to describe it, they were good with each other.
He could put up with her impotence to a great extent, because he was not qualified.
Her nature is too naïve, and he can fool to a great extent.
If he were to be replaced by another servant, he estimated that he would most likely be stabbed in the back.
Backstabbing is not uncommon in the Holy Grail War, and although it may be exaggerated, if it is placed in a trial, it will be exaggerated to become a fact.
Never underestimate the ambition of the Servant, in essence, this is a group of hungry dogs who will be happy when they see bones, especially the Servant who says that he does not pursue the Holy Grail, then he is more likely to become a vicious dog that eats people and does not spit out bones!
Su Shu has experienced a lot, and his ideas will inevitably be overkill or even extreme, but as long as he does not deviate from the essence of the facts, nothing else matters.
So the crux of the question is, do you want to chase the Holy Grail?
The answer, of course, is that it must be, and that the Holy Grail must be seized by any means necessary, not for the sake of the so-called almighty wish, but to continue to survive.
Is there any benefit to living like this?
If he could, he wanted to see with his own eyes what was the culprit who triggered the trial? That's all.
But if the price is to sacrifice Xia Lan, then he chooses to sacrifice everything by any means, and he must let himself and Xia Lan survive at the same time, or die at the same time, there is no other choice.
He would never let himself and Xia Lan live alone in a contradictory situation, and he would even rather ruin such a chance to survive.
The human heart is the most untestable, if one person lives alone, no one can guarantee that the other party will not forget themselves, what if they gradually forget? Then, the sacrifice of the other party will be worthless.
It's scary.
It's not that this kind of future is terrible, but he himself feels that his heart is really terrible, but this is just human nature, and the Avenger in front of him is the most typical example, before she hanged herself, she also killed her family with her own hands, and no one was humiliated and no one lived alone.
However, isn't this the only common thing that only madmen have?
Su Shu and Avenger looked at each other, and their eyes were very similar, not looking alike, but being able to read each other's crazy emotions.
"Su Shu!"
The meeting of eyes was interrupted by a sudden, pleasant voice.
Su Shu immediately withdrew his gaze and turned his head to look, the person not far away had a familiar face, but his clothes were white.
It doesn't get any more disappointing than that.
