Chapter 834: The Glory of the Hero and the Choice of the Saint

Lucia was completely indifferent to the desire for survival displayed by the artificial human beings.

Survival is the instinct of all living things. Among the billions of humans in the world, plus trillions of animals and insects, 99% of them do not want to die. How many of the lives in the world want to die?

It's not wrong to not want to die, but it's a pity that Liu Xia never asks the other person if they want to die, and just kill him if he wants to.

Since he has been a killer, he has taken a lot of lives on his hands, but he has never spared his life once. It does not matter whether it is good or bad, and he does not ask about his reasons. As long as he thinks it is necessary to kill, he will kill him. No matter how much the other party does not want to die, he will do it He has nothing to do with it.

In view of this, Lucia knocked the android unconscious without hesitation.

"Slow...slow down!"

After the artificial man was hit hard on the back of the head and passed out, Astolfo, who was kicked out by Lucia, struggled to get up. Although his face was ashen, he still stubbornly stood in front of Lucia.

"You just...ahem, don't have any status...ahem, the glory of a hero!"

He stood up holding on to the roots of a broken tree and asked Liu Xia loudly.

"If you are also a hero, don't you understand? Helping others, punishing the strong and supporting the weak, and helping those in need when you see them, isn't it natural for a hero?"

He was obviously quite incomprehensible and angry when he was indifferent to Liu Xia and even took action in return.

"Do I look like a good guy?"

Luciati picked up the collar of the android, and then looked at Astolfo, "Unfortunately, I am not a hero. Moreover, the so-called hero's glory in your mouth refers to generosity to others?"

"ha?"

Astolfo was suddenly startled, with a confused look on his face.

"This artificial man was made by the Yggdomirenia clan. In other words, it is the property of this clan. It is true that he gave birth to himself, but his body and life were given by this clan. Hundreds of years ago, he would have been no different from a slave, and this family can of course demand value from him."

Lucia's face was unwavering, and she even looked at Astolfo coldly.

"And your behavior as a hero is to do it without the consent of the master.

Taking away the property of this family and releasing them, euphemistically calling it the glory of being a hero, if this is the glory of a hero, it would be really insightful. "

"This...this..."

Astolfo suddenly didn't know how to refute.

From his own point of view, he did help the lives in need, but from the perspective of the Yggdomirenia clan, there is no doubt that he is a thief who robbed his own property.

"Not only that, if this clan really wants to get this artificial man, it will be useless wherever you take him. He will definitely be retrieved by this clan afterwards and continue to be used as a consumable. He may even be implicated along the way. innocent."

Lucia carried the artificial man and came to Astolfo, her expression still cold.

"If you really want to save this person, what you should do is not take him out, but negotiate with Darnik and turn this artificial person into your own. Then if you want to release him or something else, no one will Stopping you."

"..."

Astolfo was immediately dumbfounded and couldn't say a word.

Although his rationality evaporated, he was just too emotional and did not think about the consequences, but it did not mean that he had lost his ability to think.

When Liu Xia said this, he seemed to think it made sense.

Although from the way Liu Xia looked at him, he only saw the word "idiot".

"But, what can I do to make this child my property...wait, what are you doing?!"

Astolfo was thinking about it when he suddenly exclaimed and looked at Lucia's stretched out hand with a wary expression.

"Bang!"

Liu Xia ignored his vigilance, and with lightning speed, she stretched out her hand and struck a knife on his head, making him immediately roll his eyes. After the artificial man, he also fainted, but Liu Xia repeated his same trick. The ground grabbed the collar.

"Why are you following me?"

Immediately, Liu Xia turned around and looked in the direction behind her.

Under the moonlight.

The girl holding the flag came out of the forest.

The bright moonlight shone on her body, making her look as pure as the moon goddess, and her whole body was filled with holy radiance.

This girl turned out to be the Joan of Arc who had followed Lucia.

"Sorry, I'm just a little concerned."

Joan of Arc apologized to Liu Xia, and then a little helplessness appeared on her face.

"To be honest, when I saw the androids in the castle before, I had the idea of ​​​​rescuing them from the sea of ​​misery, but I never took action, so when I heard what the Black Rider had done, I was very surprised. , so I came here to take a look.”

After all, she is a saint, so it is natural that she would want to help when she sees the difficult situation of artificial people.

However, because she still had a brain and her brain was relatively rational, she didn't really do that kind of thing. But after hearing that Astolfo did something that she didn't do, she naturally changed. Very concerned about this matter.

"Don't worry, I won't stop you."

Under Lucia's gaze, Joan of Arc shook her head, "I do hope that child can escape from here, but I won't take action for him. This may also be some kind of tragedy... I am just a follower, and I only want to protect him. I will wield my sword in a fair Holy Grail War and abide by modern rules."

"That's good."

Lucia glanced at Jeanne, then turned around, holding both Astolfo and the android in her hands, then jumped up and rushed towards the castle.

"well."

Jeanne let out a long sigh, with a wry smile on her face.

She did have the idea of ​​​​saving people, but it was just an idea, and this idea was obviously contrary to her duty to protect the fairness of the Holy Grail War.

The artificial man was innocent, everyone knew it.

But if you understand, you must understand that the reality is that you must make a choice.

In the end, between the artificial man and the rules of the Holy Grail War, she chose to abide by the rules and not protect the innocent artificial man.

Just like back then, she chose to defend France on the battlefield of the Hundred Years' War between England and France, but wielded a butcher's knife against the British soldiers.

For this Holy Grail War, fairness trumps everything else, and it is something she must give up everything else to protect.

Joan of Arc turned around and walked not towards Milenia Fortress, but towards the town of Tulifas down the mountain.

She will not try to save people, but she will remember this incident as a regret in her heart.
