30 Definitely…

A few minutes later, Luo Zhen and Matthew had left the iron tower and returned to the burning town.

It was too conspicuous to stay on that iron tower, Luo Zhen could only let Matthew take him away, find a temporary stronghold as quickly as possible, hide in it, and avoid a second attack.

That being said, the so-called stronghold is actually just one of the buildings in this ruined town.

But no matter what, at least the two of them had a chance to catch their breath.

However, when they came back to their senses, the two of them were looking at each other, and they were both caught in indescribably complicated emotions.

"That... are you okay? Senior?"

"...Well, no problem."

"Then... is there anything abnormal about your body?"

"I think should not be?"

"That... that's good."

"Um…"

After a very brief conversation, both of them fell silent.

Luo Zhen raised his eyelids, looked at the girl who had changed drastically from the previous image, looked awe-inspiring and somewhat disturbed, couldn't help but sighed, and broke the silence first.

"All in all, let me understand the situation first." Luo Zhen asked Matthew in a calm tone: "If I guessed correctly, Matthew, you have indeed become a follower, am I right? "

This is already an irrefutable fact.

Luo Zhen, who had escaped from the sudden situation, had long felt something that he had been ignoring before.

That is the slightest connection with Matthew.

This kind of connection is like an invisible channel connecting himself and Matthew, so that Rozen can easily send his own magic power into Matthew's body, and even use the command spell on the back of his hand to control Matthew. Xiu ordered.

Luo Zhen knew very well what this meant.

this means…

"You signed a contract with me as a follower, right?"

Luo Zhen made such inquiries word by word.

In this regard, Matthew nodded, shook his head again, and made a correction.

"I did sign a contract with senior, and I did get the power of a follower, but I am not a regular follower in this state."

Speaking of this, Matthew's tone paused slightly, and then he said this sentence.

"I've become a now."

Hearing this sentence, Luo Zhen's first reaction was not surprise, but a wry smile.

"As expected...is that so...?"

———.

This is not a special Servant, but something created by human hands.

Although the so-called servants have inhuman power and can provide astonishing combat power, they are heroes, legends and fantasies of the past, and each of them has extraordinary will and belief. It is a bit unrealistic to use demons to perform arbitrary tasks.

That is to say, the servant may betray the master, and is more likely to violate the master's order, disobey the command, or even harm the master in turn, so that the summoner can steal a lot of money.

It is precisely in order to prevent this from happening that Command Spells came into being.

The Command Spell is a three-time command power. There are three strokes in total, and each stroke is an order. The original intention of its creation is to force the servants to obey the command of the master.

Chaldea reworked this command system to cooperate with the heroic spirit summoning system, so that the master who contracts with the servant can also have the command spell.

It's just that Chaldea's command spells don't focus on the aspect of "domination", but specialize in the aspect of "support", abandoning the compulsory command power, and strengthening and healing the servants. It has a miraculous effect, and the domination of the servants is at best similar to a "curse" effect.

Of course, if all three command spells are used at once, it is not impossible to force the servants.

Anyway, with the magic power provided by Chaldea, the masters can get a command spell every day, and the command spell can be fully recharged in three days, and it can still be used when it is time to use it.

However, if the servant does not obey the command and has to use the command spell to drive it every time, it will also cause great trouble and is not conducive to the battle at all.

In addition, the servant itself is a spirit body, and the existence itself needs to consume magic power. In order to make up for various defects, Chaldea launched an experiment.

"The Fusion of Humans and Heroic Spirits..."

That's right.

The fusion of humans and spirits.

This is one of the studies that has been going on for more than ten years, and it is the sixth experiment of Chaldea.

"By merging with the heroic spirit, the experimental body can not only obtain the power of a servant, because it is not a spirit body, it does not need to consume magic power if it only exists, and what is even more rare is that it can obey orders and avoid various disadvantages. This is ———."

Luo Zhen looked at Matthew and made a bitter voice.

"Is this experiment actually completed now?"

The experiment of sub-companions started more than ten years ago, but it has not been successful so far.

Luo Zhen never expected that this experiment would be completed under such circumstances.

That's what Matthew said.

"After all, that's what I'm here for."

Matthew's unwavering words made Luo Zhen clenched his fists.

So far, there is no need to even say anything.

Matthew is one of the subjects of this experiment.

This is Matthew's past, and also the fate and life he had two years ago before he appeared in Chaldea.

It was not until two years ago that she was finally liberated due to the failure of the experiment, and the girl who could openly appear in Chaldea became an inhuman after all.

"It's... hell...!"

Luo Zhen couldn't help scolding.

After a while, Luo Zhen's clenched fist was held by a pair of soft hands.

"Please don't be so angry, senior."

With her own hands, Matthew gently wrapped Luo Zhen's clenched fist.

There was also a peaceful smile on his face.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

Mash's straightforward words echoed around.

"At least, now I have the power to protect the senior, and I feel very happy to be able to fight with the senior as a servant of the senior."

This is definitely not a lie.

The girl named Mash must be grateful for the current situation from the bottom of her heart.

"If it were me now, I would be able to fight."

Matthew smiled at Luo Zhen.

However, this girl didn't know that her smile made Luo Zhen feel distressed.

(What do you mean very happy?)

Luo Zhen recalled the look in Matthew's eyes that he saw not long ago.

In addition to the trust as always, there is something else in the pair of eyes.

That thing is called fear.

(On the one hand, I am happy because I have gained power and can fight with me, on the other hand, I am afraid of the battle itself, and I am afraid of it...)

Luo Zhen held Matthew's hand instead, making a decision in his heart while exerting force.

(I will never let her face all this alone...)

(absolute…)
