Stray Chapter 28: Questions from the Servants
Outside of the world.
A nether realm that accepts the dead and the souls of the dead, a world of death where shadows spread everywhere, and sunlight never shines.
In the heart of the Land of Shadows, this area is truly empty. Even the countless undead that are full of them do not dare to set foot in this area, because they do not dare. After all, this is the master who dominates this area. 's residence.
It is a majestic shadow castle standing on the barren and precipitous peaks. On the watchtower on the top floor of the castle, there is a queen with smooth and smooth dark purple long hair, who is quietly watching Looking in a certain direction in the distance, at the same time, he frowned slightly without a trace.
She sensed that Assassin's breath had reappeared, approaching the demonic realm she controlled.
It's just that compared to before, the state has obviously declined a lot, and it seems that it has weakened all of a sudden...
Of course, she knew what was going on, because although she wasn't too hopeful, after she noticed the other party's movements, she had been continuously observing through clairvoyance, paying attention to the other party's actions all the way.
So naturally, I know very well about the trouble that the black-robed swordsman encountered... Although what happened in that tower was ominous, Assassin, who used the great sword, almost broke his halberd in it. fact.
Clairvoyance itself is an eye that can see very far-
Low-level clairvoyance only emphasizes the good level of vision, capable of capturing distant targets at extremely far distances, including the improvement and enhancement of dynamic vision, etc., while high-level clairvoyance emphasizes the ability to look at the past, present, future, etc. level.
In other words, after reaching a certain level, clairvoyance often has the ability to see the future and the past, or to see the present. Conversely, it shows that if you can see the past and the future, you must be able to see far away.
That's why Merlin's clairvoyant, who claims to be able to see the present, is the most useless clairvoyant EX... After all, it is reasonable to say that a clairvoyant above A rank can already predict the future to a certain extent, and it can also see the future. something that happens far away.
To know the world without going out of the house is not much different from looking around now. Anyway, you can only see what is happening in other places now...
The same is true of Skaha. Although she can't directly see any corner of the world, she is only limited to Europe. within sight.
"Did it really fail?... Forget it, at least it's good to survive, and being able to escape back has already proved the title of the crown."
The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, who frowned slightly and sighed, did not prevent the black-robed swordsman from ascending to the Isle of Skye, passing through the gate of the Devil's Realm, entering his own Kingdom of Shadows, and deliberately blocking the gate. A hole was opened.
It's like she opened the gate of the demon realm that was blocked before, and let the other party leave the country of shadows. Strictly speaking, Skaha actually felt that Assassin's behavior was unreliable, but he also held some unrealistic hopes.
After all, no matter what the opponent says, he is also a crown-ranked assassin, a legend standing at the top of this rank. What he can't do is not impossible for the opponent... Anyway, there is no harm in trying.
——As for the fact that the other party may die directly, the result of being sent back to the Throne of Heroes is not a bad thing in the Queen's view.
If you succeed, you can easily solve all the problems. If you fail, you will only lose the combat power of a Servant... What kind of loss is this?
It doesn't mean that the combined combat power of yourself and others will give you a chance to defeat the magician who has stepped into the realm of magic. Because there cannot be one less, the loss of a cavalry servant will have a fatal impact.
The fact is that even if the seven champion heroes come together, it is impossible to say that there is no certainty of victory. Therefore, it should be beaten or beaten, and there is no fundamental difference between one more and one less.
Instead of forcing the Assassin to stay, as a frontal force for the decisive battle, bet on whether a miracle can happen at the last stud.
It's better to let him try to solve the problem directly through the decapitation tactics through the most professional means in the field he is best at! No matter how you look at it, the success rate of the latter is more worth looking forward to, right?
——Skaha thinks so, she looks at the whole problem from a more rational than human situation.
Just opened the door that was blocked by himself, watching the black-robed swordsman relax and sigh in relief at the moment he entered the kingdom of shadows, at this time, Skaha also noticed the subtle movement behind him.
So, she restrained her thoughts, as if nothing had happened, she turned her head slightly and said with a smile: "It seems that you have resolved the conflict, have you finally reached a consensus..."
"Miss Skaha..."
Even though she deliberately slowed down her footsteps, Fujimaru Tachika, who was easily noticed, suddenly laughed bitterly. This girl was also feeling overwhelmed by this situation.
Fortunately, I didn't expect that after the fifth North American singularity last time, the sixth singularity now sees Miss Skaha again and gets her help. Otherwise, I don't know. How to end.
This is the reason why everyone can get temporary peace. Knowing that this is the Land of Shadows, you can sit down and negotiate.
The girl let out a long sigh and didn't hide her headache: "Isn't it a matter of resolving conflicts? They are still on the wrong path with each other. Now I can only say that I barely understand the situation. Before the ultimate goal of repairing human rights, And pinching his nose temporarily put aside the grievances..."
"Isn't that enough? What more do you want to achieve? The servants are not some loyal slaves or servants."
The queen with dark purple hair just smiled.
"Although they are still high-level familiars in essence, they are not tools that magicians can use at will. They all have their own personalities and ideas. There really is no difference..."
"I know this, and I have never regarded Servants as tools. I have always thought that they are the most trustworthy comrades and companions." Fujimaru Rika hurriedly explained.
"That's right, this is the path you chose, so you have to face these issues."
Skaha said casually, she also admired the temperament of the last master of human beings, never giving up hope even in the face of fear, and always trusting her servants, in exchange for sincerity Make friends with sincerity.
This is probably the reason why she has so many connections. She may not be a qualified magician or warrior, and her aptitude can only be said to be better than nothing, but only in terms of being a master, she is unprecedented excellent.
After thinking about it for a while, the queen warned seriously: "If you want to repair human rights, you can't do it alone, you must rely on the power of those heroic spirits, and such a situation will inevitably continue in the future. There is..."
"...I understand." The girl bit her lower lip lightly and smiled helplessly.
She knows the meaning of the Queen of the Land of Shadows. Heroic spirits are heroes of other eras, legendary heroes, but they are often not the protagonists in one-man dramas. Heroes work together to interpret magnificent epics. It's a piece of history.
But it often means that the interpersonal relationships of heroic spirits are very complicated, and they can often involve many people, and their entanglements during their lifetimes are often very chaotic... and some grievances are not so easy to let go.
The small fights in the past often pass directly. Heroic spirits can be said to be very big-hearted, not so small... But if they can swallow any gas, they are completely dead, and there will always be some It's something they can never forgive no matter what.
However, this is a problem that Fujimaru Rika has to face.
Because she will inevitably continue to encounter such things in the future, if she can't be ruthless, choose to stand in line every time decisively, cooperate with one party to directly destroy the other party, and solve the problem in this way...
Then we have to find a way to ease these historical problems, and try to let the Heroic Spirits put aside the disputes and fight together.
After all, in the face of the ultimate goal and righteousness of humanistic restoration, even if it is a mortal enemy, you must first put aside your prejudice, entrust each other behind, and work together... Only in this way can there be a possibility of victory, and thus recapture mankind s future.
The self-proclaimed enemy of Solomon, the King of Magic, is not a trifle that can be easily dealt with. If the Heroic Spirits themselves are still scheming and intriguing, then there is really no hope.
"It's not that such a thing has happened before, but I think...they probably still know the priorities and they all have a bigger picture..." After thinking about what happened at the second singularity, Fujimaru Rika said as optimistically as possible.
"Don't take it too lightly, or you will suffer a lot..." Skaha said, "I said, Servants also have their own ideas, their own personalities, they are not robots, and their minds will change. ..."
"..." The girl blinked suspiciously.
"So, do you know about the Holy Grail War?" Skaha asked in a different way of teaching.
"I know, what we are participating in now is actually the Holy Grail War, but on a larger scale, not in a certain city or the like, but in seven different eras." Tatsuka Fujimaru nodded, although She is an ordinary person who was chased and put on the shelves, but after this period of hard work, she can be regarded as knowing a lot of common sense in the magic world.
"It's good to know, then you should know the origin of the Holy Grail War, right?"
"...I heard it before. It seems that it was originally a decisive battle magic to save the world. For their own convenience, the summoning system that human beings downgraded this ritual is the Holy Grail War."
"That's right, that's true, but have you ever thought about it?" Skaha looked at her calmly, "Whether it's selfishness or whatever, it's human's own business to downgrade that ritual, why is the heroic spirit still alive? Will you answer the call and take part in the Holy Grail War?"
"This..."
"It's very simple, not only humans are pursuing the Holy Grail, but heroic spirits are actually pursuing the Holy Grail, or something in the Holy Grail War. The obsession to achieve..."
