Chapter 52 Team Expansion (Ask for Collection Recommendation)
Thinking of the shortage of manpower, Liu Yuan couldn't help but glance at Marda, and smiled apologetically at her, "Speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Liu Yuan, and I am the master of Enqidu." Truth be told, we're looking for available staff, if we can...... Could you please join us for a while? ”
"Huh?" Surprised to hear this, Marda said, "Aren't you afraid that I will suddenly betray you?" ”
She had already made it clear before that although she had gotten rid of her frenzied state, the contract with Heizhen's side was still not broken, and if they used the spell to order her to attack Liu Yuan and the others, it would be difficult for Marda to resist.
Out of rational judgment, no one would want to put such a remote-controlled bomb that is not strange to explode at any time in their team, right?
But Liu Yuan smiled and said, "I believe in your self-discipline. You are the saint Marda, and even when you are under the influence of madness, you can keep your senses in talking to us, and I believe that even the Master's spell will not command you. ”
“........ That's an optimistic judgment. ”
"Well....... It's often said. Liu Yuan scratched his head embarrassedly.
Liu Yuan is a person who is good at finding fun in bad things, otherwise he has experienced the tragedy of his parents, the departure of his lover, and the cancer in just two days, how can he maintain his sanity, and if he is an ordinary person, he would have found a place to commit suicide by himself.
At that time, he ran out on the road to save the girl, which was actually an accident, and he didn't want to use saving people as a reason to run to suicide.
But fortunately, Liu Yuan, who died in that world, was reborn in the world of FGO. Not only has the fact of death been eliminated, but even the symptoms of stomach cancer have ceased to occur, and even in this world, a new bond has been obtained, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I have gained a second life.
In response to that sentence, if Liu Yuan hadn't rushed out to save people at that time, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to cross here. Liu Yuan never thought that he would encounter this kind of plot that he thought would only happen in novels, but he still did what he thought was right without hesitation.
Now Liu Yuan's mind has not changed.
Killing Marda here, or inviting her to join the team, what these two choices will lead to, just like whether to save the girl, Liu Yuan has no way of knowing the answer - after all, he is not a prophet, and he does not have a foul clairvoyant like Solomon or Gilgamesh.
All he knew was that Marda was no longer hostile to them, and that killing her at this time would definitely make him regret it, and it would also make the other heroes feel cold.
Since you don't know what the future holds, you don't need to dwell on it and just make the choice you like.
What remains in Liu Yuan's head now is such a simple idea.
Hearing Liu Yuan's answer, Marda looked at him fixedly, as if she saw a familiar shadow.
It used to be the person she admired, and it was also the existence that many people admired, but compared to others, Marda was a little luckier. She had not only seen him, but had spoken to him, understood his thoughts, followed his teachings, and gradually became a figure known as the Holy Maiden.
But Marda knows that she is not strong and tolerant enough to be called a 'saint', she is also a flesh-and-blood human with seven emotions and six desires, jealousy and annoyance.
It is precisely because she knows that she has flaws that she yearns for 'perfection'.
Smiling at all times, keeping a tolerant heart even towards the offender, leading people to be kind – yes, Marda has seen 'perfection' before.
Now, she vaguely saw the shadow of that person in Liu Yuan's eyes.
- Yes, trust.
What Marda saw in Liu Yuan's eyes was trust in her.
It's not for no reason, but more like seeing through her as a person, a sense of trust in her nature as a 'human', rather than a blind worship of the title of 'saint' or 'saint'.
This flattered Marda, and even caused a hint of shame.
DIO once said that people live in this world and pursue a sense of security. But Marda didn't feel it in the group of people in the Black Chastity camp, it was completely contrary to her philosophy of action, and no one who thought she was good would want to join that group of madmen. But at that time, due to the constraints of madness and the Servant Contract, Marda had to resign herself to the Black Virgin.
But now, the limits no longer exist, and it's time to find a master, or rather, a 'master' who is truly worthy of her service.
Marda smiled at Liu Yuan in line with the title of 'Holy Woman', bowed slightly, and saluted him:
"I think you think too highly of me, and as a servant, it's hard to refuse the order of the spell. Still, thank you for your trust. I, Marda, even if I fight for my life, I will not betray this trust, and I swear to you in the name of 'saint', Liu Yuan....... No, my Master. ”
"Then, the contract is established."
In this way, Liu Yuan added another fierce general to his team.
Don't look at what Marda shrunk in Enkidu, in fact, her real strength can be firmly in the top three in the team, although she can't beat Enkidu, but she can also wrestle with Medusa.
Incidentally, Mary and Mozart later greeted Liu Yuan and the others, and joined the team of the 'Black Virgin Crusade' like Marda, and Matthew and Roman then began to talk to them about the crisis that the Chaldean existence and human reason were now facing. Marda and the others reacted to this in the same way as Joan of Arc - that is, shame for themselves, and with it a burning determination.
Definitely take back the Holy Grail and put an end to this peculiarity!
Just when the three 'newcomers' and 'old-timers' introduced themselves to each other and communicated their feelings, Liu Yuan suddenly discovered a problem in hindsight.
“....... Camila seems to be gone. ”
"It's running." Olga Marie glanced at him with disdain, "Seeing a servant of Enkidu's level coming, if you don't run away, is it because you want to die?" ”
"Well, that's right....... By the way, how long are you going to hold on to my clothes? ”
"Qi."
"Hey, you just smacked your lips, didn't you!?"
Olga Marie brushed aside her blushing face and ignored him.

Time moved forward a little by more than ten minutes, and Marshal Jill was waiting in the luxurious palace that was the stronghold of Heizhen and the others.
When Camilla and the others came into contact with Liu Yuan, Marshal Jill, who noticed that the magic consumption of the servants was abnormal, used a crystal ball that could reflect the image to monitor the battle situation of Heizhen and the others. When he saw that Heizhen and Enki were both invincible, Marshal Jill decisively used the spell to summon Heizhen back.
In an instant, Hei Zhen and the evil dragon she was riding moved thousands of miles away to the main hall.
