Chapter 432 Past, Present, and Future

Chapter 433 Past, Present, and Future

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. There were black birds flapping their wings and chirping, blending into the deep night like ink.

Everything was dark, the thick earth was dark, the dead branches in the forest were dark, and the outline of the city in the distance was also dark.

But when the footsteps sounded, they became clearer and clearer, and the fantasy light shone on the horizon. The silver swordsman, the bright cavalry, and even the assassin hiding under the black robe were surrounded by the cheering blue wind and mist.

"Ah, it's so slow. If this goes on, when can we go back~~"

Along with the master's complaints, his pink ponytail also swayed unhappily, and with a snap, it slapped a fat man's face.

Master Gold, it was because of him that the servant could not return in spirit form, and could only walk back with him.

"Rider." Siegfried reminded in a low voice, carrying his master on his back and avoiding Ah Fu's "attack".

"Ah, sorry, I didn't mean it."

"At the current speed, it won't take long to reach Mirenia Fortress." Artoria manipulated the strengthened Wind King barrier to push everyone forward, "But, Mr. Gold hasn't woken up yet?"

"Uh..." Siegfried's expression froze, "Sorry."

At that time, he knocked out the master with the determination to die, and the force was mixed with some "personal grudges". After such a hard blow, it would not be surprising that Gold was unconscious until the next day.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, at least everyone is happy with the result, right?"

Astolfo enjoyed the time of returning side by side with his companions. The reason for complaining was because of "rationality evaporating", and he didn't take it to heart at all. He turned his head and looked behind him, and suddenly sighed.

"... Well, in that case, the Master should be fine on her own next time."

No need to say more, everyone knows who Ahfu is worried about, and Altria comforts him: "It doesn't matter, after all, Shuo... the Red Assassin will help him."

"That's right." Ahfu patted his head, and his worry turned into joy, "Speaking of which, I have always misunderstood the Red Assassin. Well, how should I put it, I always thought he was a guy who likes fighting and is powerful."

"Although I don't know his real name, he is indeed a hero." Even Siegfried, who was forced to sign the "sell contract", nodded and praised Shuoyue for saving Sieg.

And he should also add resourcefulness, no, cunning. After all, you two idiots have been given the greatest benefit by Lord Shuoyue, and you are also happy to help him count the money... Altria shook her head helplessly, unable to bear to look at these two companions who were kept in the dark, but she couldn't help but raise a curve at the corner of her mouth.

Shuoyue was praised, and as his king, Altria was proud of it.

Speak of the devil, the causal line between the master and the servant was pulled, and the calm voice of Shuoyue rang in Artoria's heart:

"Everything is going well here. I am taking Sieg, the android, to the village. What about you?"

"Still on the way back, and I haven't encountered any obstacles." It made Artoria feel a little fresh and exciting to secretly talk to the master between Ahfu and Fei Ge. She smiled and teased, "But do you know? Rider and Saber are praising you."

When she said this, she couldn't help but imagine Shuoyue's reaction. Was he surprised, or showed a fox-like cunning smile?

But the master on the other side was just silent for a moment, and said calmly:

"Very good, this trust will bring convenience to my future actions.

"...That's it?"

"That's it, what else?" Shuoyue asked back, "It's a scam, do you want me to be happy for this false praise? "

That being said, it's a bit too cold... Artoria curled her lips, but stopped gossiping: "In this way, you can divert the attention of the black side to you, then what about the homunculus of Master Rider? What do you plan to do with the child?"

"Since she has been caught in the vortex of the Holy Grail War, she will never be able to escape. I will guide her on the way and let her return to the battlefield with her own will."

"Wait... return to the battlefield?" Artoria couldn't believe it, "But what we expect is not to let her gain freedom?"

"When did I say this? What's more, if returning to the Holy Grail War is her own will, isn't this a kind of freedom of choice?"

"How could she do that! "

"Why not? "Shuoyue asked, "The longing and gratitude for the servants who saved him; the guilt and sense of responsibility for escaping while his fellow tribesmen are still suffering - these precious qualities, aren't they the first color left on her by you great heroes?"

Because of longing and gratitude, the androids will unconsciously look forward to seeing Astolfo again.

Because of guilt and responsibility, the androids will take the initiative to return to the black side and raise the banner of resistance for their suffering fellow tribesmen.

And all this is the reason why Shuoyue saved her, and it is also the future that Shuoyue expects.

"..." Artoria was silent and speechless. As if he didn't feel the emotions of the servant, Shuo Yue continued, "Right now, Saber Siegfried, Caster Avisbron, plus Caster Shakespeare on the red side, me, little Jack and you, Blue Fang already has six followers, but it is obviously not enough to fight against the red and black sides. "

Not only was it a matter of quantity, Shakespeare and Little Jack were also unable to compete with top or even first-class servants in terms of quality.

"Black Lancer Vlad III could not escape death when the red team invaded. Archer Chiron and Berserker Frankenstein did not have obvious weaknesses, and they were more inclined to exclude than to instigate rebellion. In other words, Black team There are no more followers to win over.”

Shuo Yue's analysis was so smooth that even the sulky Dumao couldn't help but listen carefully.

"I'm planning a big one on the red side. If possible, everyone except Amakusa and the Empress will defect to the black side. However, there is still one group excepted. After all, they are outside the red side's front. Even Amakusa will restrain them. Not to them."

Without letting Da Mao think about what he would do on the red side, Shuo Yue directly named the group: "Red Saber Mordred, at this stage, she is the most likely person to join our blue camp,"

Red Saber? Indeed, in terms of strength and closeness to the camp, she is indeed the most suitable member for our side... Wait, there seems to be something wrong...

When Dai Mao finally realized it, she opened her beautiful eyes wide, and the emotions of panic and escape flashed away from her blue eyes:

"Wait, Lord Shuo Yue? What are you talking about? That's Mordred, that annoying knight!"

A certain King Arthur, whose heart had been resolved but whose grudge was still lingering, protested loudly: "Even if I don't care, she will draw her sword and chop at me the moment she sees me!"

"Aren't you father and son (mother and daughter)? If you have a conflict or something, why don't you just have a fight?"

"Fight?" Dai Mao's tone was faint, "Shuo Yueqing, do you want us to wipe Romania off the world map? What's more, doing so will definitely expose your real name?"

"...Didn't the main body of Chaldea's servant receive the memory?" Shuo Yue was confused, but soon relieved, "That's right, with Ritsuka's level, it would be difficult for Artoria to die, let alone Caleb. The food is definitely better than Avalon.”

After the death of the servant, the memory will return to the Heroic Soul Seat. In other words, the heart-to-heart talk between Shuoyue and Daimao on the island was unknown to Artoria who came into her own body.

But Assassin's Shuo Yue is not considerate enough to consider Dai Mao's mood.

"Detailed plans will be discussed with Lingxia tonight. The next step is the last thing, which is the issue of your real name."

Although Dai Mao has been wearing the degraded version of the 'Hades cloak' projected by Shuo Yue, he has always concealed his identity, and it is difficult to win people's trust after all.

What's more, the intensity of the upcoming war will not allow Artoria to use the 'Wind King's Barrier' to deal with it.

"As the master, I order you, Artoria, to allow you to release the Noble Phantasm in the next battle." Shuo Yue said, "As for the magic power consumption caused, Black Fang's artificial battery system can be used. I have to admit, That fat guy Gold did a great job in this area.”

Sakutue saved the androids, but indifferently regarded her fellow humans as firewood and simple magic blocks to fill the Noble Phantasm.

This is not a contradiction, because in Shuo Yue's eyes, the act of rescuing the artificial man is not motivated by morality, but simply to find a useful chess piece.

Artoria sighed inwardly, completely understanding the Assassin's style of dealing with things.

...Try not to use the Noble Phantasm as much as possible. Even if you use it, just use your own magic power to pay for it.

With this thought in mind, Artoria responded in a low voice.

"Understood, my Master."
