Chapter 397 When Shabi Is Here, the Background Music Is Always Cheerful
Chapter 398 With Shabi, the background music is always cheerful
For the residents of Sighisoara, this may be an ordinary day. They wake up in the bright morning, toss and turn in the daily necessities, and wait until the moon is bright and the stars are sparse before lying on the bed and closing their eyes to end the count of time.
They don't know that in the church standing silently on the hillside, a meeting that can change the present and the future is taking place.
"...Are you a Servant?"
Shirou, or Shiro Tokisada Amakusa, with white hair and golden eyes, stared at Shuoyue and asked seriously.
Under Shuoyue's revelation, his identity is no longer a secret: During the Third Holy Grail War, the Einzbern family had two cheating methods, one was to summon the most destructive Avenger class in theory, and the other was the more tactical Ruler class.
In Apocrypha, Einzbern chose the latter and summoned the boy in front of him: Ruler Shiro Tokisada Amakusa.
As a servant, Shiro Amakusa is not strong, but the ability given to him by his job, "True Name Seeing", still gives Aijia a great advantage in the intelligence war, and the possibility of victory is also quite high... It's a pity that the head of the Thousand World Tree, Danic, led the Nazi invasion and took away the Holy Grail, and the war ended in vain.
However, Amakusa came into contact with it before the Holy Grail was taken away, and took on a human body. The supervisor of that battle, Kotomine Risho, secretly brought this "saint" into the Cathedral Church and became a priest of the Eighth Mystery Society. With the convenience of his position, Amakusa collected holy relics in the Middle East and prepared for the return of the Holy Grail for a full sixty years.
And all this was for his wish--
Looking at Amakusa, Sakutsuki did not tell his last secret. The secrets he had told before were all traceable, but only Amakusa's wish... that was not something that could be said directly.
Just like putting chips on a scale, Shuoyue can neither put too little to get the recognition of the red side, nor too much to force the red side to fight.
Balance is the most important thing.
"You want to know why 'True Name See Through' can't get my detailed information, right?" Shuoyue answered Amakusa's question with a rhetorical question, "Just like 'Red' Saber Mordred?"
"Mordred... rebellious knight?" The woman in the black dress next to Amakusa was startled, and quickly reacted to Shuoyue's intentional revelation, "So Red Saber is the son of King Arthur, the traitor who subverted Britain?"
"Mordred's mother is the demon concubine Morgan, so that's it, so you and Red Saber have the skills to hide information."
Amakusa stared at Shuoyue solemnly, as if thinking about what else he knew, but Shuoyue was prepared to interrupt him.
"Don't try to ask me where I come from or what I know. I'm just a worker in the Magic Association. You just need to know that I have only one goal - that is to help the Magic Association defeat the Thousand World Tree and win."
Throwing so many chips and creating such a tense first encounter, the intentions, personality and behavior patterns deliberately shown by Shuoyue have been placed in front of the Red Side.
As the "leader" of the Red Side in secret, will Amakusa Shiro Tokisada accept such a person?
Silence slowly flows in the church, Amakusa's face changes, and finally, he still sighs and chooses to give in first.
"The Red Side will not reject such a powerful Servant, but I'm sorry, because of your special background, we lack the necessary trust, so in terms of intelligence..."
"Ah, I understand." Sakutsuki stood up and shook hands with Amakusa with a smile, "I will handle the intelligence. I don't pay much attention to you on weekdays. Just call me when you fight."
"... Well, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you, Mr. Sakutsuki. By the way, is your job Assassin?"
"Yeah, of course."
"Then, may I ask you and Hassan..."
It can be seen that Amakusa wanted to communicate further with Sakutsuki, but unfortunately, as the door of the church was opened, someone broke in rudely.
It was a flashy man, wearing medieval European-style clothes, walking through the nave with a staggering gait, opening his arms and shouting to the sky:
"--A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse! (A hourse! A hourse! My kingdom for a horse!)"
Faced with this uninvited man, Amakusa and the empress remained silent, only the black-robed young man who had just been recognized raised his lips and spoke with joy.
"Oh, here you are! Shabi... No, Shakespeare!"
Perhaps after getting permission from Amakusa, he no longer had to disguise himself; or perhaps after removing his fighting posture, this was the nature of the man named "Shuoyue". The black-robed young man smiled and walked forward, bowing exaggeratedly and comically, saluting the flashy man in front of him.
"Stand back, my king, I'll help you onto the horse."
"Oh, so there are still people in this era who understand us!" The flashy man praised with a moving tone, and then took over Shuoyue's lines with great interest, speaking in a tone like the ugly and arrogant Richard III himself.
"Minion! I have already gambled my life, I would rather go all out and decide the outcome. I thought there were six Richmonds on the battlefield; I have killed five today, but I didn't kill him——"
At the end, Shuoyue stood up, smiled at each other, and shouted the last line together:
"A horse! A horse! My throne for a horse!"
This impromptu and seamless performance was so shocking that the two onlookers were stunned for a long time, until the two lunatics laughed and hugged each other as if they had met too late, and then they came to their senses. Amakusa swallowed his saliva and said hesitantly:
"Caster... Do you know Lord Shuoyue?"
The man called Caster was disappointed when he heard this, and he lowered his shoulders and sighed: "Incredible! You are living in the world, but you don't know my masterpiece drama! Master! Please be sure to read the book I wrote!"
As he said, he handed over a thick hardcover book. It seems that he went to the bookstore to buy his own works, and the title of the book is "The Complete Works of Shakespeare".
"Red" Caster, William Shakespeare. He is the most famous playwright in the world, and anyone who has not heard of his works will be accused of ignorance. It is no exaggeration to say that if you trace the origins of all modern literary works, you will inevitably involve many works of Shakespeare.
However, there is one thing in the lines just now that cannot be ignored. Caster, he, called Shirou "Master". Father Shirou's Servant is an assassin, but Caster calls him "Master". If what he said is true, then Shirou has already led two Servants.
This may be possible, but it is still a bit abnormal. In the past Holy Grail Wars, there was no precedent for a Master leading two Servants at the same time. At best, it would only lead to death due to exhaustion of magic power, but if this is true, it is hard to imagine how much magic power this man named Shirou has accumulated in his body.
"Even if it is the Holy Grail, it will not give me all the knowledge related to your works. At most, I only know that you are a 'famous writer in history'."
The empress looked dissatisfied, and secretly excused the embarrassed Amakusa.
After hearing what Assassin said, Caster sighed to the sky:
"Oh, Queen of Assyria. Please don't say such sad words. For me, Shakespeare, this is equivalent to the denial of my personality!"
To prove it, Shakespeare pointed his finger at the smiling Shuoyue: "Look, this Servant, didn't he pick up my lines very smoothly?"
"That's because he was born in the era after you, right?" The Queen said unhappily, "Let's get back to business, Caster, you deliberately materialized and ran over here, what happened?"
After hearing Assassin's question, Caster sighed exaggeratedly and suddenly stopped. He coughed and said a little embarrassedly:
"Hmm, well. It's said that "Lovers and madmen have such seething brains", and Berserker can occasionally do things that are unimaginable with reason-"
"Is Berserker going crazy again?"
Faced with Amakusa's question, Caster denied it repeatedly.
"Speak human language, Caster." The empress rolled her eyes unhappily. Until then, Caster showed a happy smile like a court jester and said loudly:
"Berserker, started walking towards Tulifas. It seems that he has identified the enemy that should be eliminated."
"What-"
"... Oh, this is really difficult."
Assassin was speechless for a moment, while Shirou muttered in a leisurely tone.
For the red side, this may be an unexpected situation.
However, none of them noticed that a young man leaned against the wall and smiled as expected.
Sakutsuki knew that after the blue team joined the battlefield, the gears of fate had begun to move forward irreversibly.
"Say, to be or not to be, that's the question..."
Glossary · Incarnation: Servants are originally spiritual beings, and they need magic power to stay. If they want to stay in the human world for a long time, they can rely on the Holy Grail to obtain a body, that is, incarnation. FZ's Flying Tiger and FA's Amakusa obtained their bodies in this way.
As for why Amakusa has lived for sixty years without aging, it is because of his Noble Phantasm, the left arm · Tianhuijipan has the effect of immortality.
