Chapter 497: Use the Beauty Trap on Amakusa
All matters have been dealt with. Although the four knight servants have been lost, two new servants have joined, one of which is the famous King Arthur. In a sense, the biggest difficulty has been overcome now.
Heroic spirits are unruly, straightforward, and noble, and at the same time they do not hesitate at all. When they first reported their true names, it was reasonable even if they were killed.
However, there are still many ups and downs waiting for him in the future. Who is the real culprit who killed the Master? Did the murderer choose to use this method to stop him after fully understanding Hong Fang and understanding his wishes of Amakusa Shiro?
Amakusa sat down on the throne that originally belonged to Semiramis and looked at the sky in the distance. The sadness in his heart made him unable to find peace.
"So, Master, how does it feel to sit on this throne?"
I don't know when Semiramis suddenly appeared in physical form. Amakusa said "I'm sorry" and was about to leave the throne, but the empress gently held his shoulders, walked around behind him, and touched her delicate red lips. Whisper into the boy's ear:
"It doesn't matter, you just continue to sit. How does it feel to sit on the throne? You can imagine the scene of heroes bowing to you. It must be an unparalleled pleasure, right? Don't you feel like a king? Arrogant? Don’t you want to indulge in that feeling of joy that dominates everything?”
Amakusa shook his head wordlessly, then held the hand on his shoulder and stood up slowly and firmly.
"Unfortunately, dominating others doesn't seem to suit me very well. It's better for you to take this seat."
Hearing what he said, the empress showed a slightly dissatisfied expression, but she still sat on the throne.
"It's really boring. Since you are my master, I allow you to say 'this world belongs to me'."
"If I were that kind of Master, I would probably be dead a long time ago. You would definitely kill me while saying, 'There is no need for two kings in this world,' or something like that."
Seeing that Amakusa casually revealed this fact, the empress clicked her tongue without any regrets:
"Hmph, have you discovered it?"
As Amakusa said, his purpose is to relieve itself, and what happens next is not in his list of plans. Whether Semiramis becomes the empress and rules the world or does anything else, it has nothing to do with Amakusa Shiro Tokisada who fulfilled her wish.
"I mean, it's okay for you to be the king after that?"
"Well, let's wait until then to decide."
Amakusa smiled, said he was going to take a look at the Great Holy Grail, then turned and left. Looking at his back from a distance, the empress' beauty was covered with a depressed expression.
"There's really no way around it. It's really difficult to deal with a desireless person. Not only is he not interested in money, he's also indifferent to power. He can't even be moved by women."
To the Assyrian empress, men were just toys, and countless people lost everything because of her instigation.
At the same time, for her, women are limited to their own existence. Of course, it is necessary for a female to exist in order to get pregnant, but it is her privilege to exist as a woman and be able to manipulate men as she pleases.
——From the beginning, she could only live that kind of life.
Looking back, that was when she was just born. Although her memory was very vague, she still clearly remembered the back of the woman who hurriedly fled into the river after abandoning her.
Her mother, the fish god Dilicit, had an affair with an Assyrian man and became pregnant with a daughter. And that child was Semiramis.
You are my disgrace, she said; having a child with a human being is her disgrace, and the goddess made this clear.
What a stupid woman, Semiramis thought later, you are the one who failed to resist the temptation of men.
Her mother abandoned her like this, and her father was killed for this. However, she survived under the care of pigeons, who wrapped themselves in their wings and fed her milk in their mouths.
Semiramis grew up like this, and then ten years later, she was discovered by a man herding herds.
In this way, the future empress entered the human world, but her inner being was already complete.
She hates women—even a god will show no mercy to lazy and cowardly women who are manipulated by men.
She laughed at men - they always bully women, but in fact they are just full of animalistic desires, and they should be the ones to be played with.
That was her philosophy, her understanding of the world. So, how should we understand our current master, Amakusa Shirou Tokisada.
"Neither a woman nor a man...it's such an unclear existence, really."
He was not moved by his charming smile, and refused the temptation of power without hesitation. Human beings are originally creatures full of desires, but that boy had no selfish desires. The relief of all mankind cannot be summarized in terms of "desire" alone.
If you really want to describe it, there is no doubt that it can only be described as "crazy". It is precisely because of this that the empress finds it very interesting to be with him.
It would be great if sixty years of long-cherished wish came true.
But if you lose due to lack of strength - that would also be interesting. She is also very interested in the scene of how despair a saint will fall into after his dream is shattered, and how he will end up.
"So, which one is more interesting?"
Semiramis smiled to herself for a while, then suddenly stopped daydreaming. Her eyes were empty, connected to a monitoring ritual somewhere in the courtyard.
——In the picture presented by the ritual, a natural and beautiful woman in a green dress approached her master.
"Six-leader Reika..."
And the next moment, she lost the sense of the monitoring ritual.
————
The Holy Grail still maintains its incorruptible glory. Although the rough method of Sakutsuki caused damage to it, it was not enough to cause a problem.
The former judge, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, was very familiar with this Holy Grail.
Tosaka, who abandoned the Holy Grail and tried to trace the source from another direction; Makiri, whose family was in decline and only passed on the Holy Grail verbally, Amakusa spent a lot of money to buy information from these two families, and also mastered information about the principles and functions from Einzbern.
After sorting out the information obtained from the three great families, it was learned that the Holy Grail's ability to fulfill wishes was only secondary. Its true nature was to sacrifice the heroic spirits of the past and thus pierce a small hole leading to the outside of the world.
And this was the reason why he sought the Holy Grail.
Unconsciously, cold sweat broke out on the palms of both hands. Amakusa Shiro Tokisada slowly raised his arms. The hands that had created many miracles had now become his treasures, and at the same time, they were the key to his opening the Holy Grail.
There were footsteps behind him, and the boy immediately dropped his arms and turned around.
"It's you, Miss Sixth Master Reika, what's up?"
"I'm sorry, I just heard the conversation between you and Red Assassin between the kings." Sixth Master Reika bowed, her tone respectful but straightforward, "You should have felt that the empress has a special feeling for you."
"This is not a question we should discuss..."
"If you are worried about your servant, it's okay. I have blocked the surveillance of this room just now." Sixth Master Reika looked at Amakusa with shining eyes, making it difficult to tell whether it was out of female curiosity or another test as a magician.
However, if he didn't answer seriously, the woman would not let him go, right?
After realizing this, Amakusa tilted his head slightly and whispered: "... I can't respond to this feeling now."
Sixty years ago, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, who got a body and a second life, was destined to live for "humanity", and the love of a saint cannot be specific to a certain person, even if it is an empress above ten thousand people.
"Really?" Lingxia smiled sweetly, thinking about something, but Amakusa didn't want to discuss this matter anymore, so he hurriedly changed the subject.
"What are your plans next? Although I am very grateful for your joining, it is also a fact that our strength is insufficient."
"I know." Playing with her hair, Sixth Master Lingxia casually threw out her trump card, "So I plan to bring Black Saber back."
Black Saber, Siegfried?
The dragon slayer who can be an enemy of Karna, the prince of the Netherlands, Siegfried? !
Bring it back... Could it be that!
Amakusa was startled. He was about to say something when he heard hurried footsteps approaching from afar. The empress in a black robe appeared beside him, stretched out her hand to protect Amakusa, and looked at Lingxia vigilantly:
"What did you do? Why did you destroy the monitoring technique in my courtyard?"
"Calm down, Assassin, I'm fine." Amakusa hadn't recovered from the information revealed by Sixth Guide Lingxia. He subconsciously pushed Semiramis away and looked at Lingxia with a serious face, "Are you telling the truth?"
In response, Sixth Guide Lingxia just responded with a sly smile, leaving enough room for suspicion to ferment, and then turned around and left the sight of Amakusa and the empress.
As soon as she left, she heard the empress's angry questioning and Amakusa's helpless explanation.
"A woman who wants to protect you with all her heart but is pushed away at the first time is hard to coax~~" Sixth Guide Lingxia, who was a little black when she was cut, thought with a bad taste. At the same time, she activated the communication and informed Shuoyue about what happened here.
"Take Siegfried away... Well, the timing is right, send little Jack out too, I need her." After talking about this, Shuoyue suddenly teased, "But, seeing how nervous the empress is, she doesn't really care about Amakusa, does she?"
"Do you need me to test it?"
"You?" A chuckle came from the other end of the communication, "Is this a honey trap?"
"Ala, if this is a compliment to me, I will be shy, Mr. Shuoyue?"
"...I'm kidding, you won't really do this, right? Hello? Hello!"
