Chapter 198: The Dust Settles.
In the tent, Egarlu, who had come back to his senses, looked up at the overly calm and clear eyes of the king on the throne.
Looking at such calm eyes, for some reason, Egaru had the illusion that the situation was reversed, and the offense and defense were changed.
Nero's life is still in his own hands, and the Holy Grail in his body is still providing him with a steady stream of magic, so why does he look so confident, even though the reality has not changed?
Because of the eyes that seemed to have judged themselves to lose, a faint anger grew in the heart of Egarus.
No, I haven't lost yet!
Even if he was a pawn that was used from the beginning and didn't know it, just like in the original time and space, he didn't lose yet!
Thinking of this, a fierce flash flashed in Egarus's eyes.
Feeling the surging magical aura on Egarlu's body and the killing intent and anger against Nero, it was easy to understand in an instant, even if he learned the truth, the other party still refused to admit defeat and was ready to give it a go.
A flash of madness flashed in Egarlu's eyes, that man didn't have a helper, he was just an ordinary person, and he still had a chance!
What if it's exploited from the start? As long as Nero dies, this peculiarity can never be repaired! Everything will be settled!
However, just as Egarus was about to succeed, the figure that flashed in front of him in a short moment made him stunned for a moment.
Looking at the simplicity in front of him, Egarlu's wide-eyed eyes were full of stunned that he had been slow to go online.
"How could you..."
Before he finished speaking, Egaru suddenly felt something again, looked down, and found that a strangely shaped and somewhat familiar dagger had been pressed against his lower abdomen.
At the same time, a simple whisper sounded in his ears.
"Inferior replacement, release ......"
Egarus had seen such a dagger before, not long ago when a man (Red A) had assassinated him.
But at this moment, Egaru could clearly feel that the two were not using the same hand, or that the prototype was in the simple hand.
Seeing the connection between the Holy Grail and himself being severed by this strange dagger, and the filthy Holy Grail leaving his body, it was not until this moment that Egal Lu knew the true power of this dagger, and finally knew that this time he was simply led by the nose from the beginning.
From the beginning, his hole cards were not those servants he left outside the barracks, let alone Drake, but himself!
It's not just the strange dagger that he used to change his appearance with the replacement magic technique, but also the strength that he has never shown to be weaker than that of a first-class servant, and the most critical ...... Myself.
His own carelessness is the key to his successful sneak attack.
Perhaps, from the very beginning, he decided that he would not defend an ordinary person like him, and it was his carelessness that created an opportunity for him to succeed in a sneak attack! In other words: he took advantage of his carelessness!
In order to be able to succeed in one fell swoop without being noticed by himself, until now, he has been committed to putting all kinds of smoke bombs on himself, so that he can mistakenly think that his hole cards are something else!
He's always trying to divert his attention! Leaving the Servant outside, and coming alone without fear, just to make himself wonder what he had done outside.
Ling Chen's denial was to make himself mistakenly believe that he was relying on some existence in the barracks!
And then there's the final lore, which is to use the conversation with Draco just now to make himself think that his dependence is Draco!
Not at all!
His dependence has been himself from the beginning!
After all the steps in front of him are realized, he will not think that his hole cards are actually himself!
At this time, Egaru, who had only gained insight into the truth, had to admit that Jian Jian was the smartest man he had ever seen, and after a few rounds, he completely diverted his attention.
Egarus believes that in the same situation, anyone will never be able to detect the real hole cards until the last minute!
This is the real plan for the sake of the foolproof!
However, compared to the emotion, the bitterness in Egarus's heart was heavier.
"You... You lied to me..."
Jian shook his head, turned away, and looked at the Holy Grail that was hovering above the tent, with its own apocalyptic aura, and every time it appeared, it would add a doomsday color to the neighborhood, and it was constantly spilling filth and black mud.
"No, I've always been just an ordinary person, and this power is just the power that my girlfriend entrusted to me before she got angry and returned to my mother's house and temporarily lent me the power to protect myself."
Previously, Artoria did not want to pay attention to Jian Jian for the time being because she was angry, and chose to go back to her parents' house, and also put down the cruel words not to summon her if she didn't fix the mess left by Merlin.
But as a servant and husband, Artoria can't ignore simplicity, after all, the peculiarity is dangerous. Ruoyi finally lent his power to Jian Jian through the last spell, and he returned to his parents' house because the spell disappeared.
It's worth mentioning that, in fact, even Simple didn't expect the spell to have such an effect.
In addition, there is a subtle feeling that only herself and Artoria can achieve such a miracle of borrowing power through the spell.
At this time, Ega found that a golden holy sword appeared in Simple's hand from nothing.
With a wave of his hand, several sword lights flashed, and in the next second, the entire tent turned into countless tent fragments, and the fragments of the tent were blown away with a whirlwind that emerged from the curry stick sword.
The sky lost its color, as if the black sun connected to the endless hell hung high above the sky, and below, it was like a holy grail held in the air by an invisible hand.
In the next second, the ground below the barracks began to shake violently, as if something was about to break through the ground!
Soon, a ferocious purple octopus with red barbs all over its body burrowed out of the ground.
Pseudointelligence room Laulos.
Because as soon as it appeared, it began to wreak havoc, and the entire barracks was filled with the panicked shouts of soldiers.
Jian Jian was just about to step forward to meet the enemy, and he thought of something.
"It's over, give up, I've lost the Holy Grail and now I can't go back, I don't want to kill you before dealing with that, I'll take your life, but it's better not now."
The simple tone was always calm, but Egaru sensed Ling Ran's determination in it.
Although his feelings were very complicated, he didn't feel anything unacceptable, because from yesterday to now, he had given himself several chances, but in the end he chose to give up.
Having said that, he gave himself a chance several times in that situation, and he was really a gentle man.
The more alone one is, the more clearly one can see himself and everything around him, just like Agalus at this time.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything more. I went to gather the soldiers to help. ”
Glancing back at Egaralu, he read from the other's lonely eyes that the other party was not lying, and turned his head and walked forward.
"There's no need, organize them to evacuate, there are enough innocent lives scattered in this peculiarity."
……
The golden light dispelled the evil aura of the sky.
Whether it was the Demon Beast He, disguised as the Demon God Pillar, or the Holy Grail, they all disappeared under the Sword of Victory of the Oath.
The tiny flickering golden light that fell was like a star, like a small lighthouse one after another, dotted with simple figures.
Immediately after, the first rays of sunlight shone from the eastern horizon, and the first rays of light were not violent, but more like a delicate golden ribbon draped over the simple body.
At this moment, Egarus only felt a trance, and for a moment he couldn't tell who was the radiant and hopeful sun.
At the same time, Jian looked down at the curry stick in his hand that was gradually disappearing because the time limit had expired, and in addition to this, the power of the Knight King was also gradually disappearing.
As the Knight King's strength completely disappeared and left the simple body, the simple figure couldn't help but shake because of the sudden loss of strength, but fortunately, he stabilized his body in time and did not fall.
"Ma De, it's clear that they're all colleagues and it's real, and no one is watching, won't you play fake games?"
Simply muttered in a low voice, the Demon Beast He disguised as the Demon God Pillar in the battle just now did not show any mercy to his subordinates at all, and he didn't know whether to say that it was realistic, or if it was not acting at all.
If it weren't for the simple tried mechanism, looking at the opponent's attack gap, and taking the opportunity to release the treasure and force a wave with the Holy Grail in the air, I am afraid that it would overturn the cart.
Calming his breath, he turned around and looked at Egarlu, who was waiting for him not far away.
I don't know why I have an inexplicable sense of responsibility that I have to send the other party off the other side to end it all.
Maybe it's because all of this can be regarded as self-inflicted.
Not only Egalo, but also the soldiers of the United Empire.
The former is because he doesn't know what he shows and has a strong interest and possessiveness in himself, while the latter is because he has let them see the light for a while.
They could have endured the darkness, but they themselves had led them to think they saw the light.
Jane didn't know how to describe his feelings, and although it wasn't his fault, he had the urge to do something for the soldiers who had been killed by Egara.
Not for "legitimate" reasons like revenge, but just to reassure one's conscience.
Bending down to pick up a sword from the ground that the soldier had accidentally left behind when he fled in a hurry, he walked unhurriedly and step by step in front of Egarlu.
However, it seems to be unhurried, but in fact it is also very entangled in my heart, for people who live and grow up in a society governed by the rule of law, it is not so easy to really take the life of another person.
It's just a few dozen steps, but it's simple, but it seems like walking for a long time.
When the tip of the sword in Jan's hand pointed at Agalu, Agalu came back to his senses and realized that it was all about to end.
However, there was not much fear of death in Agalu's eyes, on the contrary, there was a little more peace than before.
"I don't seem to have been able to see you thoroughly until now, you are hazy like a half-hidden painting, perhaps, I am so obsessed with you because of this mystery."
Jian Jian shook his head, his eyes always looking directly at Egarus: "You are wrong, I am not mysterious at all, everything is as ordinary and simple as my name, it's just that you are too obsessed."
I'm not as smart as you think, let alone our era, even in this era, there are many people who are smarter than me, but the limitations of the times limit them. ”
Simplicity is not self-deprecating, because it is.
There is no difference between the ancients and modern people in terms of IQ, but the limitations of the times limit their thinking, and if they are placed in the same environment and receive the same education, there will be no difference between the two.
Even, even due to the limitations of the times, their wisdom and attainments in many aspects are still beyond the reach of modern people living in the 21st century, and such examples abound.
"So, am I wrong......"
"I don't know that it is inherently unreasonable for people living in the era of human beings to judge the emperors of antiquity. The three views are different, and the right and wrong views are naturally different.
Just like as the emperor of a slave empire, it may be natural for you to accept Rome composed of one percent or even one thousandth of the elite and ninety-nine percent of the bottom cattle and horses, or you can calmly accept the sacrifice of tens of thousands.
But for me, who has received a 21st century education, I can't accept that there is almost no fairness in this society. I can't accept the social form or the customs of life. ”
Why is it simple to use the word living customs, which has to involve the hygiene of Rome in this era.
Let's put it this way, the bottom people of this era, there are many people who have never taken a bath since they were young!
And then, most cities don't have sewers at all!
Every time you go to a city, as soon as you enter the city gate, the strong smell of rice fields will come to your face, except for the old eight and the heart to reproduce the glory of the ancestors of Rome, I believe that there will not be any modern people who really want to stay in such an era after coming here.
"In short, it's true that you want to be in control of your own destiny, but I don't think you have a different view of it because you base it on causing suffering to others.
There are a lot of things that you can accept that I absolutely can't accept, and there are irreparable or irreconcilable cognitive differences between us. Egarus, you love the wrong person. ”
Looking at Jianjian's sword held in mid-air, although there was no obvious shaking, Egaru could clearly feel Jianjian's inner entanglement and hesitation from it.
Hurriedly retracting his gaze, Egarus met his simple eyes again: "But, isn't there something very beautiful in this era?" ”
Jian Jian did not speak, but fell silent.
There are good things in this era.
In the capital of the United Empire, Jane applied a system similar to that of the rural commune in a very extreme sense.
I thought that in this way, there would definitely be a phenomenon that some people were lazy and lackluster, but for two months, Jian Jian did not find even one person who was lazy.
Welfare overflows, obviously lying flat and waiting for death, but no one does that, perhaps because the people at the bottom of this era are too pure, or maybe because they are still immersed in the joy and excitement of thinking that they have arrived in the Garden of Eden.
This is indeed a kind of "beauty" that looks like a dream in a simple way.
Second, the co-performance of the emperors represented by Octavian, in order to deal with Leif's power, was able to give up everyone's hard-won second life without hesitation.
Thirdly, it is the most impressive, even now, a picture that is firmly engraved in my mind.
In the temple, an innocent girl shrouded in holy light closed her eyes and prayed for the blessing of others.
Jian nodded very seriously: "Yes." ”
"What is it?"
"There are many, but the most impressive one is the young priest in a temple who is praying for the safety of the surrounding residents."
Egarus was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, his pupils twitching slightly, and he looked at Jian Jian in disbelief.
"You... Are you talking about..."
"Who knows, it's just a dream."
With that, Simple, who had finally made up his mind, stabbed the blade of his sword into Egarus's abdomen as he continued.
“…… For the girl, and for me, it's just, maybe only I remember. Goodbye, Annus of Brazil (the original name of Eragabalus). ”
At the last moment of his life, Egaru suddenly smiled, with blood in his mouth, showing the same innocent smile as in his dream.
"Thank you." Thanking him, Agalu closed his eyes and fell forward on his simple chest......
When Bayi, Medusa, the eldest sister, and Gamor, who felt the breath of the black cup and rushed to the fire, entered the barracks, what they saw was the body holding Agalu, and his expression was slightly complicated.
Glancing at each other, several of them noticed the shock in each other's eyes, as if they didn't expect that Jian Jian could really solve an enemy that even Leif couldn't handle on his own!
Just when the women were shocked by this fact, Jian Jian took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at the few people very seriously.
"Merlin did it, you testify."
Women: ......
May Someone in Avalon: ......
At the same time, Nero awoke from a coma, and the first thing he saw when he woke up was the simplicity in front of him.
"Queen, are you here to save Yu?!"
As soon as these words came out, all the women present immediately raised their brows, but because they didn't speak, they could only endure it without having a seizure.
He glanced back at Nero, who had just woken up, smiled casually, and then walked to the gate of the barracks with the body of Agalus in his arms.
However, after only two steps, it was discovered that Egarus's body was gradually disappearing, or rather, was about to be sent back to her original era, as if the anomalies had been corrected.
It was at this time that communication with the New Chaldeans was restored.
"Hear please answer, hear please answer!"
"Olga, the anomaly has been repaired by Merlin, and the Holy Grail has been destroyed by Merlin, so get ready for Sakura and me to recover."
As soon as the simple voice fell, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from behind him: "And my new director." ”
Looking back, he looked intact, and even yawned, like the old mustard who had just woken up and the refreshed horse standing beside him, and was simply silent.
This is a touching ...... It's crazy!
