Chapter 271: Heroic Spirit (End)
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.
"Hmm. 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. The trespasser will be executed on the spot. The spirit then returned to the room, where the servant, Archer, reappeared as a physical entity, standing proudly beside his master with a satisfied expression on his face.
If you look closely, this person is dignified, dressed in golden armor, his hair is blonde hair that stands upright like a burning flame, and his face is dignified, and he is a beautiful young man who is incomparably beautiful. The eyes that were as bright as blood and were absolutely extraordinary radiated a mysterious light 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, you should be respectful to the master who summons yourself out. But Tosaka did not hesitate to be so humble with the servant he had summoned. Because he was the heir to the noble bloodline, Tosaka Tokitomi was often conceited that his "noble bloodline" was far superior to others. But why did he treat the Heroic Spirit he summoned to win the Holy Grail War so politely, not only did he not use it as a servant, but treated him like a guest.
That's because this man appeared in the world as an archer. It was none other than the legendary "Hero King" Gilgamesh. The demigod and half-human king of ancient Mesopotamia. Has the longest history as a hero and is the oldest king in the human world.
Tosaka Tokitomi's credo is to respect what is noble. No matter how much you have the power to control the spell, or what kind of contract you have made, you can't turn the high and the low upside down. Therefore, even as his own servant, this golden-colored young man in front of him 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."
Archer nodded in agreement with Shi Chen's judgment. Such a respectful and respectful attitude as Shi Chen is rare in the current era. As a hero king, he can also understand this.
"Let's let the beasts fight each other for the time being, and then we'll see which one is the lion worth hunting. In short, wait a moment before you find your prey. ”
"Well, let's take a casual walk to pass the time for boredom. It's an interesting time. ”
Hearing Archer say this, Shi Chen was a little confused by him.
The servant he summoned was indeed the strongest of the Heroic Spirits. But the Heroic Spirit's intense curiosity and the resulting self-indulgence were a great headache for him. Since he came to this world, he has not been honest in his mansion in Tosaka for a single night. Even tonight, in order to deal with the Assassin's attack, he asked Archer to stay on the roof. It also took Shi Chen a lot of effort to convince him.
“…… Do you like it? This modern world. ”
"Irretrievable ugliness. But whatever. All I care about is whether there are any treasures in this world that are worth adding to my collection. ”
After reining in the smile on his face. Archer's red eyes were full of divine majesty, looking at Shi Chen, and slowly asked.
"If this is a world where there is nothing worth collecting
-- It's a great 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 out for myself. …… Still, forget it. For the time being, let's do as you say. All the treasures in this world are mine. Whether it's 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.
"I'll look forward to the lion you mentioned for the time being. Shichen, 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"
Until the coercion of gold is completely gone. The magician let out a long sigh.
For servants, in addition to the unique abilities of their Heroic Spirits themselves. They will also gain abilities according to their rank in the present world. Assassin's "Breath Cut" and Caster's "Position Making", Saber and Rider's "Ride" all belong to this category. Similarly, the Archer rank of a Living Servant 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 unable to provide enough mana to the servant due to injury. However, there are pros and cons that the Master does not fully control the Servant.
As an archer, Gilgamesh possesses the equivalent of Class-A in solitary mobility.
Needless to say, this level of ability wants to maintain its existence in this world. Even battles and the use of Noble Phantasms can be carried out completely 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. They have no way of knowing exactly what their servants are doing.
For Shi Chen, who is not interested in anything other than his own world, why is the man who is the hero king so immersed in the mass business of walking. He couldn't understand it at all.
"Forget it, for now, just leave these things to Qili. -- Everything is going according to plan. ”
