223. Kenneth withdraws
"Unexpectedly, in the end, the one who insisted on walking with me turned out to be the lancer I had always disliked. No, should I call you by your first name, Dilumudo Audina. β
Kenneth said with some emotion.
"No, from the day I conclude the contract, I swear that I will regard you, Lord Kenneth, as my master, and be faithful to the death."
"Help me to my feet, Dilumudo. Also, in the future, you don't need to add the word 'adult' to the end, just call me Kenneth. It's kinder that way. β
Dilumudo held Kenneth, who couldn't move, and barely stood on the ground.
"Why?! Why would you rather be loyal to this wretch than be with me? If you look at him pitifully, wouldn't it be better if we two gave him the Holy Grail after we won it? Why don't you want to accept me? β
Sola asked hysterically.
Dilumudo exhaled slowly, and replied in a soft but firm voice:
"Lord Sora, the so-called oath is not such a simple thing, it means a long and difficult trial, and entanglement between those involved in the vow. The biggest regret in my life is the vow. I kept my promise with Grania, but I betrayed my oath with my lord Finn. I made a pact with the Holy Grail, not to come here to find new feelings, but to appease my own heart. β
"On the night I was called, I made a pact with Master Kenneth that I would honor him my master and offer him a holy grail. As long as I remain loyal to my lord, Lord Kenneth, I will have my desires granted. In that case, how can I accede to your invitation, Lord Sora? β
Jian Tongyanye, who had been watching from the sidelines, spoke:
"Miss Sora, I'm afraid you're thinking too much about a love story. You should know the legend of Dilumudo, but people already have a confidante like Grania, if he combines with you, won't it be a betrayal of Princess Grania? Do you think that your charm is far greater than that of Princess Grania, who can make Dilumudo renounce his knightly vows and break his promise with his lover to elope with you? β
"You...... You guys! β
With tears in her eyes, Sora ran out of the factory.
"Aren't you going to chase your fiancΓ©e?"
Faced with the question of the wild goose, Kenneth shook his head with a wry smile:
"Sora still doesn't love me after all. What's the use of me just catching up? β
Kenneth sighed softly and said quietly:
"Sora is the daughter of the Sophiali family, but she is not the heir. The magic mark of the magician family can only be inherited in one line, so there can only be one heir. Sora is not an heir, and can only be used as a breeding tool for eugenics to determine her marriage. Therefore, everything she has received since she was a child and everything she has learned since she was a child has no room for love, even if she is old, she is still a young girl who is just beginning to fall in love, and it is reasonable that Dilumudo is so handsome that she will be liked. β
Dilumudo said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, Master Kenneth, it's all for my sake."
"It's not your fault. How can it be the fault of the loved one to be loved by others? And you're helpless, aren't you? The black mole on your face comes from a fairy's blessing or a curse. Sora is not very good as a magician, and she can't stop the curse of that black mole. β
Jian Tong Yanye also sighed, as if he was talking to Kenneth, and as if he was talking to himself:
"You're still in love with her, aren't you?"
Kenneth laughed self-deprecatingly:
"I don't know, after all, I'm in a similar situation to Sora. I have been regarded as a prodigy since I was a child, and the attention I give to love and marriage may not be more than one percent of magic......"
Kenneth looked up, and outside the window of the factory, a crescent moon hung high in the sky:
"I just, I don't want her to be hurt, I want her to be happy, I want to make her wish come true. Even when she said she wanted my spell, I wanted to say yes to her. Obviously a magician who pursues the roots, it is so irrational, and I am really enough. β
"It turns out that the great magician of the clock tower will also be trapped by love, and sure enough, no matter how mysterious he is, no matter how much he emphasizes that he is above the mundane, the magician is still a human being, some people's seven emotions and six desires, and some people's joys, sorrows, and sorrows. Kenneth, you, the magician killer Kiritsugu Emiya, who seems absolutely rational, your fiancΓ©e Sora, who just ran away, and even me, who became the master in an evil way. β
Jian Tong Yanye shrugged his shoulders and said a little ridiculously:
"Speaking of which, the three of us are really alike, although the situations we encounter are different, but we are all disgraced by love."
"I am in love but not in love, and Dilumudo is the dilemma between love and loyalty, what about you? The Master of the Berserker? β
Kenneth asked with amusement, despite being mortal enemies, there was now a rare open conversation between the two masters and the two servants in the abandoned factory.
"Ha, my situation is actually quite common. The person I like, married to a good man who is not me. β
"Hmph, it's not easy for you."
Kenneth smiled, as did Dilumudo and Makiri.
"Yan Ye, Yun Shu thinks that if a person can tell others about his unspeakable experience, and still laugh at it as a joke, it means relief in itself, right?"
"Berserker, didn't you tell you not to talk in front of others and hide your identity? Why did you suddenly speak! β
The night was slightly blamed, but not angry.
Kenneth and Dilumudo were surprised, and Kenneth said:
"With a rational berserker who can communicate normally, the master of berserker, your luck is really good."
"My name is Wild Goose Night, and I don't need to be called that by the Lord of Berserker, the Lord of Bersererk. As for my servant, I think I'm really lucky to be able to summon him. The suggestion for me to come in and observe the situation was also given to me by him. This is an over-spec Servant with Caster-level intelligence, Saber or above panel attributes, Rider's mount, Lancer's weapon, and berserker's destructive power, right? β
Kenneth shook his head, his smile fading:
"Okay, that's all for now. berserβ¦β¦ Since you've found this place, it means you're here to take my life, right? β
The wild goose was silent.
Seeing the demeanor of the wild goose, Kenneth nodded and said to Lancer beside him:
"Dilumudo, my luck has always been bad, the strength of the berserker, especially the strength of the sane berserker, you should know better than me who has fought against it. I'm afraid there won't be any miracles today. If nothing happens, this battle is your last battle as Lancer, do you have any complaints? If so, this is the last chance to scold me, so say it. β
"Nope. Being able to protect the lord and die with the lord in battle, Udi Lumudo regards it as the glory of a knight. This is something that I once asked for but could not get. Regrettably, Dilumudo did not bring the final victory to the sovereign. β
"What do you care about that until now? I only have one request, to show your strongest martial arts, since you are a hero, you need a most gorgeous curtain call. I also have three spells here, which are directly converted into magic power, enough for you to make a big fuss, let me see how powerful you are, Dilumudo! β
Dilumudo opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, but without hesitation, he got down on one knee and spit out:
"Yes!"
"That...... It may be a bit of a shame for me to say that, but ......"
The wild goose scratched his head in the night, attracting Kenneth and Dilumudo's eyes:
"Although I did want to take the opportunity to rule out the Lancer from the Holy Grail War, now I have another idea, Kenneth, if I make a deal with you, would you accept it?"
"Deal?"
"Yes." Jian Tong Yanye touched his chin, the stubble that had not been trimmed for a few days was a little prickly, "Kenneth, with your current state, the possibility of obtaining the Holy Grail is actually very small. Even if she was able to escape from here this time, she would not be able to dodge the attacks of the other masters and servants in the end, especially Saber, whose left hand was affected by Dilumudo's treasure 'Immortal Yellow Rose', and she was unable to exert her full combat power. In order to restore his full combat strength, Saber, especially Saber's Master, will definitely pursue by all means. Kenneth, you're unlucky. β
"I think Kenneth understands this and decided to fight me to the death here, right?"
Kenneth did not speak, and the night of the wild goose continued:
"On the other hand, the near-death counterattack was the most dangerous, and in the face of Dilumudo, who was determined to consume all three spells and free all his combat power, I was confident in Berserker, but I couldn't guarantee that Lancer would leave the field unscathed. If you have caused me serious harm, you will benefit the other masters and servants. β
"Now, I'm willing to give another solution. With the magician's self-enforcing testimony as a testimony to the contract, I pledge that I and my servants will not do any harm to you, Kenneth, and that I will protect you during the Holy Grail War in my own power. On this condition, I would like Kenneth to transfer your three Commandments to me and withdraw from the Holy Grail War, and I would like Dilumudo you to do me a favor, and I promise that what I have you to do will never harm your Lord Kenneth or his interests. Can you accept such conditions? β
"Self-Mandatory Testimony ......"
Kenneth pondered for a moment and asked:
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Rest assured, all the above conditions and obligations will be written into the self-compulsory testimony, and some detailed things can be raised if you have any doubts, and I can modify them as I see fit."
The night of the wild goose agreed very refreshingly.
The so-called "self-imposed testimony" is the most absolute guarantee made by magicians to prevent the breach of the contract when they conclude a contract that cannot be broken. The contract is generally based on a parchment scroll, including the binding technique, the object of the bondage, the formal content of the oath, the conditions for the fulfillment of the oath, and the signature of the person who made the oath (the bound person).
Using the power of his magic mark to inflict the curse of "force" on the caster, the effect cannot be lifted by any means. Once the magician signs the certificate and fulfills the conditions of the pledge for the certificate to take effect, even if the person who made the pledge is dead, even the soul of the deceased will be bound as long as the magic mark is inherited to the next generation.
Jian Tong Yanye took out his self-coercive testimony as a guarantee, which greatly increased the credibility of what he said.
Kenneth hesitated, while Dilumudo asked:
"Mr. Makiri, may I ask what you are telling me to do?"
"It's nothing, I just want you to help me kill someone, I promise this person is definitely not a good person, I heard that knights also abide by the principle of 'punishing evil is promoting good', this matter will never violate your knighthood. I'll explain the details to you later, and if you don't feel right at that time, you can also refuse at that time. I'm not going to force you with a spell. β
"Then Dilumudo has nothing to ask. It's up to Master Kenneth. β
Dilumudo's oath is loyal to Kenneth, so it is also in line with Kenneth's oath to serve others with Kenneth's consent.
Kenneth thought about it for a long time, but no matter how he thought about it, the suggestion of the wild goose was a good choice for him, who was now a wasted man.
After a long time, Kenneth finally sighed:
"Okay, I accept."
"Great, in that case, let's make a contract now. How should this self-imposed essay be concluded? Kenneth can you teach me? β
Kenneth was so shocked by the words of the night that he almost fell to the ground, he really fell to the ground, his body is basically in a semi-paralyzed state now, if it wasn't for Dilumudo's support, he wouldn't be able to stand up at all.
"Isn't it a night, you don't even know how to write and conclude a self-compulsory testimony, so you said you want to conclude a compulsory contract with me?"
Jian Tong Yanye rubbed his hands and said with some embarrassment:
"After all, it was a temporary idea, I just knew that there was such a thing among magicians. In addition, I am only a fake magician who forcibly obtained the qualification of the master by pulling seedlings, and I have not learned these subtle knowledge in detail before. β
"Forget it, but I know you better this way. Okay, come here, I'll teach you. β
After some tossing and discussion, Kenneth and Jian Tong Yanye wrote a testimony, and Jian Tong Yanye signed his name on the testimony.
"Alright, this is the completion of the contract between us. Next, as long as Kenneth withdraws from the Holy Grail War, transfers the Spell to me, and makes Dilumudo my Servant for the time being, the contract between us will take effect, and my Servant and I will not be able to harm either of you. β
Speaking of this, Jian Tong Yanye suddenly remembered something, and said:
"Speaking of which, Kenneth, I have one more request to take a personal stand."
"Oh?" Kenneth raised an eyebrow, "What request?" β
"As a lecturer at the Clock Tower, you are still very good at teaching, and you can teach me how to conclude a self-compulsory testimony so quickly, would you like to come to our house to be a tutor for a while? After the Holy Grail War, I have a junior who needs a teacher who can teach her magic, and I think you're pretty good. Salary can be talked about again. β
"Let's talk about this matter when you fulfill your agreement."
