Chapter 302: Rescue and Follow-up Arrangements
Zheng Shu finally didn't agree to go to the banquet directly, after all, there are too few influence factors that can be obtained by directly participating in the banquet, and it is a bit too boring to listen to the tirades and braggings of these three people.
However, he agreed to fight with Iskandar at the end of the banquet, and it can be seen that the conquering king is still very confident in his "king's army", and it is estimated that he is fighting the strategy of defeating Zheng Shu through attrition.
In a sense, the method chosen by Iskandar is indeed the best, and with Zheng Shu's combat ability so far, there is indeed no very good method for the crowd tactics of "King's Army".
And Zheng Shu is also very excited about the opportunity to kill Iskandar and Baixiang Hassan, not only may he get additional influence factors, but after killing these two servants, plus the spirit base of Berserker, which has been imprisoned in Zheng Shu's body and has not been put back in the Little Holy Grail, the minimum number of spirit bases that can make the Little Holy Grail manifest is achieved.
At that time, as long as the small chalice is shattered at this moment, relying on the connection between the small chalice and the great chalice, the great chalice will flow out a part of the stored magic.
According to the situation of the original book, this level of loss of mana allows the Great Holy Grail to accumulate for almost ten years before starting a new Holy Grail War again.
In order to prevent errors in the loss of magic power of the Great Holy Grail, Zheng Shu even arranged the order and number of deaths of the servants, as well as the time of the appearance of the Little Holy Grail, as much as possible as in the original book.
And most importantly, Zheng Shu still has two problems to solve, one is how to save Alice Phil, and the other is how to avoid the damage to the city caused by the magic flowing from the Holy Grail as much as possible.
The latter one is good to say, Zheng Shu already has a solution.
Although the former one has a way, it will take a certain amount of time, and it just so happens that Iskandar will delay the battle until tomorrow, which is also an acceptable good time for Zheng Shu.
"But...... I'm sorry, Sakura, but I was busy all night, but I didn't get any results. Zheng Shu was a little embarrassed in the face of Jian Tong Sakura.
After all, I was boasting about Haikou, and I planned to attract all the others and solve it in one go, but for various reasons, I didn't get anything.
Although Sakura herself agreed, for Zheng Shu, he did break the appointment.
Should it be said that he is really worthy of the name of the conquering king, Iskandar still grasped the key point through his past performance despite the serious lack of information about himself, and successfully delayed the time and made things develop in the direction that was most beneficial to himself.
Compared with such a guy, Zheng Shu feels that the way he arranges the plot is simply the level of a child's play.
But then again, Zheng Shu has discovered that whenever his strength reaches a certain limit, he will become less fond of using his brain, and will become more adept at using his muscles to deal with problems.
In fact, not only Zheng Shu, but also the heroes of the god generation, including Hercules, have such a trend, obviously Hercules has shown amazing wisdom when he is in the twelve trials, but after his strength reaches a certain point, he becomes more like a reckless man.
However, Zheng Shu can also understand this phenomenon, after all, who is willing to use his brain with a fist.
Just like in Iskandar's situation this time, he exhausted his mental strength and successfully dragged everything to the most favorable state for himself, but Zheng Shu can still be sure that the final winner tomorrow will definitely be himself.
This is the absolute self-confidence that comes with absolute strength.
According to the characteristics of Zheng Shu's golden fingers, instead of trying to improve his brain, he should find a way to improve his muscles.
At this time, Zheng Shu suddenly felt that the little hand holding his palm suddenly clenched a little, and this time he could clearly feel the temperature coming from the palm of Jian Kiri's right hand, which was different from the cold palm like a dead corpse before, as if her body had suddenly regained its vitality.
Looking down, Sakura was timidly raising her head and looking at herself, "Berserker, is my decision making you angry?" ”
Zheng Shu was stunned for a moment and suddenly understood what Tong Ying meant, and then squatted down and stared at her eyes very seriously: "No, I'm not angry with you." Didn't I say that? As the Master, I will support all of your decisions, and I just feel a little sorry that I couldn't do what you asked me to do because of my selfishness. ”
Sakura tilted her head to look at Zheng Shu, and suddenly opened her hands and wrapped her arms around his neck: "It's okay, Berserker must be the strongest!" ”
Zheng Shu smiled, simply let the cherry blossom sit on his shoulder, then stood up and walked in the direction of the residence: "That's right, the master, we are the strongest!" ”
……
……
Halfway through, Zheng Shu looked at the forest that was about to leave and suddenly stopped, and Jian Tong Sakura was just a little curious about why Zheng Shu stopped here, and then heard a strange sound.
In the sound of leaves, the wild goose suddenly walked out of the darkness on the other side.
At this time, his image did not look very good, although the disability on his body had been completely cured, but his face was blue and purple, and the clothes on his body had become tattered, and there were traces of burning by the flames.
But although it looks embarrassed, the expression of the wild goose is unexpectedly comfortable.
"Looks like you're happy?" Zheng Shu raised his eyebrows.
"It's you." After seeing that it was Zheng Shu and Ma Tong Sakura, the original vigilant movements also relaxed.
And after hearing Zheng Shu's question, his bruised face still couldn't help but smile: "Yes, I also want to thank you for the treasure you gave me, so that I could have the opportunity to beat that guy from Tosaka Shichen hard." ”
Seeing him like this, it should be because he vented the evil breath in his heart, so that his heart finally returned to balance.
The corners of Zheng Shu's eyes twitched unconsciously, but he didn't refute him, because according to his speculation about the magic content in his potion, even if most of the power was consumed when treating his body, the residual magic power was enough for him to fully recover from his serious injury twice.
Although Zheng Shu didn't see the situation at the scene, but with such a recovery ability, the scars on Jian Tongyanye's body are still clearly visible.
It can be seen that Makiri's night was completely inferior in the battle with Tosaka Tokitomi. This guy's so-called "hard beating" probably relied on the recovery ability of his body, and he forcibly carried the bombardment of Tosaka Shichen's magic and gave the other party a punch.
If it is calculated in this way, it is really not certain which of the two will suffer in this battle, but seeing Tong Yanye's expression, Zheng Shu will not really refute him boringly.
But...... Zheng Shu suddenly raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised.
Should it be said that he is worthy of being a member of the Kirito family? Although it stands to reason that his tube of potion can activate all the theoretically largest magic marks of a person, this amount is not a bit too much.
You must know that the night of the Tong Yan did not inherit the mark of the old bug, and this number of natural engravings is ...... If it is known by the clock tower, it is estimated that it will be directly closed.
But fortunately, the Tong family is also a well-known old magic family, and it can be hung up in the clock tower, although there are a lot of engravings on the night of the Tong Yan, but it is basically considered to be the number of generations passed down by the family......
"Uncle Yanye, you've become the same as before." Jian Kiri, who was sitting on Zheng Shu's shoulder, suddenly spoke.
Although the tone still sounded a little stiff, Ma Tong Yanye still felt a little bit of care from it.
Zheng Shu also glanced at Sakura with some surprise, he knew that what the other party said about changing back to the same as before did not refer to appearance, but to personality.
Judging from the original book, at the beginning, Ma Tong Yanye was still an ordinary person, but since he was tortured by Jian Tong Dirty Yan, in order to be able to persevere from that inhuman torture, Jian Tong Yan Ye can only continue to find a goal for himself to survive, so that his personality has become more and more extreme.
Now, after the old bug was killed and he beat Tosaka Shichen with his own hands, the knot in Jian Tong Yanye's heart has been untied, and he has finally returned to his previous character.
Strictly speaking, until now, Jian Tong Yanye was finally "rescued" by Zheng Shu.
Jian Tong Yan, who was praised by Ma Tong Sakura, stayed in place for a long time, and it was not until Zheng Shu and they were about to leave that he reacted, and hurriedly asked loudly:
"What's your plan? Is there anything I can do to help? Also, where are you going to take Sakura when it's over? ”
"The only thing you can do to help is to live well, after all, Sakura will be sad if you die." Zheng Shu waved his hand without looking back, "As for Sakura's words, didn't I already promise her to help her find a new place to stay?" Don't worry, I'll take care of it! ”
After saying that, Zheng Shu didn't care about the silent Yan Yan who was standing in place, and left here straight away with Ma Tong Sakura.
And Jian Tong Yanye looked at the figures of Zheng Shu and Jian Tong Ying, one big and one small, and didn't know what to say.
In his feeling, everything in Zheng Shu, the man who suddenly appeared, was a mystery, obviously appeared from the ritual of summoning the servant, but he did not follow the law of the servant at all, and he could survive even without the magic supply of the master.
The strength is terrifyingly strong, and even those heroes from ancient times cannot gain any advantage in his hands.
But he never showed any desire for something, even the Holy Grail that other magicians coveted, and if anything, it was probably more important to take care of Sakura than to get the Holy Grail.
Could it really be that as the man said when he was first summoned, his goal was only to save Sakura from that hell from the beginning to the end?
Or is it really the gods who heard their call and sent this person here?
Looking at Zheng Shu and the two of them, who had gradually lost their backs when their figures were far away, a smile finally appeared on the faces of the night, maybe for Sakura, this is the best result......
……
……
"Berserker, are you going to abandon me?" A little trembling voice came from the ears of the heat stroke, and Zheng Shu could even feel the body of the cherry blossom trembling slightly on his shoulder.
Glancing at the little girl sitting on his shoulder, Zheng Shu smiled and touched her head: "Why do you think so?" ”
"Because Berserker just told Uncle Maki that he was going to send me to someone else's house......" There was even a hint of crying in Sakura's voice.
"Hahahaha!" Zheng Shu laughed loudly, and the hearty laughter also reduced the fear in Jian Tongying's heart a lot, "Don't worry, I won't abandon you until you can live completely independently." ”
"Really?!" Sakura was happy again.
"Hmm. But ......" Zheng Shu nodded, hugged Sakura from his shoulder, stared at her eyes and said very seriously, "Don't think that you can indulge yourself with me, Sakura, you have to learn enough knowledge during this period to make yourself a qualified magician...... There is still a long way to go between you and a qualified magician! ”
"Learn magic, ......" Kiriri's surprised expression immediately dimmed.
It's not just because of the child's natural aversion to learning, but also because as soon as Sakura heard about learning magic, she couldn't help but recall the torture she had suffered at the house before.
Zheng Shu naturally saw what she was afraid of: "Don't worry, with me, I will find you a good enough 'school'." Tosaka Toshitomi is still too rigid, and he cares about the so-called face, otherwise you would actually be more suitable to go to your distant relatives, who are quite happy after hearing about your birth. ”
"Relatives?" Sakura was a little dazed, for the first time she had heard that she had relatives.
"Yes, after all, that distant relative is much better than the Tosaka family, and it just so happens that they also have a suitable heir......" Zheng Shu said eloquently.
Immediately, he noticed that Sakura's expression was still a little resistant, so he smiled and touched Sakura's head: "Of course, if you really encounter a situation where they want to bully you, you can call me by my name directly." With the spell in place, I can teleport to you at any time to save you from all danger. ”
Zheng Shu is not lying, every time he is idle and bored in the past few days, he will inject magic into the "Spell" in Jian Tong Sakura's hand.
Although it was only a pure magic crystal, with the accumulation of such a huge amount, Zheng Shu was able to know the situation around the spell to a certain extent, and when necessary, he could mobilize it to form coordinates.
Although Zheng Shu's current body looks like a human, it is actually made of magic power, and after obtaining the coordinates, he can even reshape a body directly next to the spell through the huge magic power stored in the spell.
"That'...... Okay......" Sakura was still a little depressed.
However, she didn't ask why Zheng Shu didn't go with her, because even a child like Sakura knew that every kind of magic was precious to a magician, and it was impossible for outsiders to look at it casually.
As for the existence of the magic family that can let her go to learn, Jian Tong Sakura has full trust in Zheng Shu.
(The addition is complete, and the final battle will begin tomorrow.) )
