But that would be too tiring.
Limuru raised her cheeks and looked deeply at Saber's face, until she was a little flustered and dissatisfied and called again: "Master".
Limulu let out a long "um—" and suddenly said: "Then Saber, this war is not a country-to-country war. Although it is indeed a battle based on the country and territory, in essence it is It’s a battle of ideas, something like ideas, it’s impossible to eliminate the other side, so I will take the second step and pin the hope of peace on the negotiation of each taking a step back.”
"As for me not participating in the war, it is also because I have another identity besides being the magician of the clock tower."
Limuru evoked a smile, looked at Saber's expression, and said softly: "Did you hear that too? The white knight, and the ones in this world who dare to call themselves white knights..."
"Only the guards of the dead king."
Looking at the gradually shocked face of the other party, for some reason, Limulu flashed a gleam of joy in his heart, shook his head happily, raised the corner of his mouth and said, "So... now you know? It's not that I didn't participate in the war, but... ...It's just on the opposite side."
He is not afraid that Saber will know these things, because after following for seven years, there are some things that Saber must know and not say, and even if Saber knows, Limuru also believes that with Saber's character, it is impossible to betray him, even... ...She doesn't agree with her, and she won't betray him despicably. Even if she betrays herself, she will explain it to herself first, and then leave or stop herself.
From this point of view, saber seems to be a good card, but also, a bad card.
Chapter 092, Unrecognizable Saber and... Alaya Consciousness.
The era in which Saber lived was the end of the legendary age of gods, which was about to disappear after the decline. In that era, although the gods could no longer stand on the earth, phantom species were rampant on the earth, and fairies did not only exist in the fairy forest.
Therefore, although the modern knowledge instilled by the Heroic Spirit System does not include the current situation of the Dead Apostles, Saber has some knowledge about the secrets of those ancient ancestors, and in Limuru's explanation, he quickly understood the so-called What kind of force is the Dead Apostle?
"Although blood-sucking species can be equated with vampires in your era, the high-level vampires are still the first batch of true ancestors." Limulu's faint voice fell with the flickering candlelight: "And now the dead The disciples, just like the human beings who resisted the gods at the beginning, betrayed the true ancestors and stood on this land in the name of vampires, and therefore, they no longer need to shoulder the mission of the true ancestors."
"But Master, even so, I still can't understand what you're doing." Saber looked puzzled, and even felt a little annoyed: "As a human being, but helping the enemies of mankind..."
"Saber." Limuru lightly interrupted Saber's questioning, silently looked at the grapes on the table, and suddenly smiled: "If I explain to you and get your understanding and support, you will be willing to go against your chivalry?"
"...I don't understand what you mean, master."
"You can call me Limulu." Limulu smiled lightly: "It means, if I tell you and convince you that I am a saint-like existence for the survival of all mankind, will you support me?"
"When..." Hearing this, just as Saber was about to speak, Limuru raised his hand and interrupted: "Even though I planned this war against Britain, for my plan, I killed 52 people overnight. Tens of thousands of civilians, turning the entire Cornwall peninsula into a dead zone?"
"What... what?"
A trace of astonishment suddenly flashed in Saber's green eyes: "Are you kidding..."
Seeing Saber's clenched fists suddenly, Rimuru understood, smiled helplessly, and shook her head.
"Let's stop discussing this topic here. It's time for Youzhu to come back." Limulu got out of bed, summoned two little birds made of flames to fly out of the door, and lit the candles in the corridor. It was established 60 years ago. Although the electric light had been invented at that time, it obviously has not reached the level that it can be used everywhere for the extreme east. This has led to the fact that all the facilities in this foreign building The lighting tools are all kerosene lamps and candles, which made Limuru a little unaccustomed at first. For this reason, he specially learned this because it has no flame attribute and has no lethality. It is simply a small flame used to light cigarettes and candles. magic.
"Master! Forgive me for sacrificing 52 people just for an unwarranted future...especially...this is just to influence a direction of your plan...the future of the 52 people who sacrificed Woolen cloth……"
"An unwarranted future?"
Hearing this, Limulu who walked to the door turned back helplessly, and explained: "Perhaps, the end of my plan is uncertain, but I understand that if I don't do it, there will be no reason for it." The future will become a future in which mankind is doomed to perish, Saber, if you knew that Great Britain was doomed to perish, would you want to do your best to change it?"
"... Even so, I will not sacrifice the people, I believe there must be other ways!"
"Yeah, for example, looking for the Holy Grail War after death?"
"Master!!!" Saber looked at Limuru angrily, and Limuru lowered her eyes slightly, and said seriously: "I don't intend to make fun of you, Saber."
"It's just that I understand the ideal in your heart and your loftiness, so I will not comment on your behavior and thoughts, let alone stop you."
"So, I have explained so much to you, and I just hope to gain your understanding. I don't expect to get your approval and do my best to help me. I just hope that you will at least not misunderstand me because of this."
After finishing speaking, Rimuru walked out of the room, ignoring Saber's clenched fists, and walked towards the spiral staircase not far away. According to his perception, Kuonji Yuzu had already completed his visit to Tohsaka's house and walked to the In front of the mansion.
Really, I planned to go out to meet Youzhu...
Rimuru, who was standing on the edge of the stairs, sighed, and saw Kuonji Yuzu slowly take off the black velvet hat on top of his head, and exhaled a little white mist: "Look at you, you have quarreled with Saber again."
"It's not a quarrel, is it?" Limuru stretched out a finger helplessly, scratched his chin, looked at Yuju Kuonji who was walking up slowly, and said with a chuckle, "How was the result?"
"Patriarch Tohsaka has no objection to the result of the handling, and is willing to recognize Matou Kariya's inheritance rights."
Kuonji Yuzu nodded calmly, and then there was a sound of tight footsteps coming from Rimuru's room, Saber rushed out and said, "Then Master, haven't you considered using the Holy Grail?"
Seeing Saber's undulating chest and panting breath, Kuonji Yuzu silently glanced at Rimuru—isn't this a quarrel?
"If the Holy Grail can do it, I don't mind using it." Limuru didn't explain too much, just smiled: "But I'm used to being prepared for everything, Saber, if you only pin your hopes on the Holy Grail above, then if it doesn't work, I'm a sinner for all mankind."
"..." Hearing these words, for some reason, Kuonji Yuzu felt the urge to roll her eyes, so she silently turned around and walked to her room—speaking of which, Rimuru seemed to attach great importance to this follower , Is it my own illusion?
But is a follower worth his time and effort to explain again and again?
Her delicate thoughts made the girl keenly aware that something was wrong, and exuded an aura of dissatisfaction.
"Well, I don't care about all human beings." This made Rimuru also notice Kuonji Yuju's mood swings, and his strong desire to survive made him helplessly spread his hands: "But there are people I care about among all human beings. They, I can't let this kind of thing happen, I have no choice but to use any means."
Only then did Kuonji Youzhu's quiet breath calm down a bit, he glanced at Limuru lightly, then turned and walked into his room.
"Huh." Looking at the back of Kuonji Yuzu, Limuru blinked in relief, and looked at Saber who was still in deep thought. She frowned tightly on her resolute face, as if she was thinking about how to organize her words to refute Limuru , which made him helplessly sigh again.
For the first time, I felt so tired.
Rimuru thought.
Is it because the other party is the kind of object that cannot be persuaded?
"What about troublesome people like Touko Aozaki's teacher?"
Inole?Then you really overestimated Saber, great sage.
"At least in terms of results, your demagogy and influence seem to have completely lost their effectiveness."
Having said that, the reason why Inole won't be persuaded is because the other party has absolute confidence and judgment, and believes that his actions are "correct", but Saber...
Limuru snorted helplessly, and said with a bit of pity and disdain—just because of his rigidity and stubbornness.
"But no matter what, she still insists on her ideas, you said that, right?"
"Ah... Those who stick to their ideals should be respected, whether it's Bai Yigong or Saber." Limulu nodded lightly, so...he looked at Saber.
I still have some extravagant hopes for her...
"If you can't agree with it, don't force yourself to think about what's wrong, because sometimes, things that conform to your own ideas are not necessarily correct." Limulu said: "In the final analysis, neither morality nor three views are the will of human beings themselves. It's a desire that comes from our very nature as individuals."
"Whether it is good or bad, all human beings desire is to survive."
In other words, the most basic instinct of a creature is to reproduce and survive, which is the most fundamental instinct that every race must have.
……
In the rootless white world, the dense white clouds and mist exude a misty and flooding state, slowly covering the blue that is not much...
It seems to be the blue sky and white clouds, it seems to be the sea of roots.
Floating white ice collided with the glacier, and in the blink of an eye, the world turned upside down and was covered by white mist, and there was no trace of the Sea of Silver anymore.
Guardians... functioning normally...
The Hall of Valor... is functioning normally...
The current number of Guardians executing... 327 world lines... 17...
The clouds and mist form the trajectory of the world, and each spirit particle seems to be running precisely according to the system. One by one, vague and simple, seemingly incomprehensible, and easily comprehensible existences form the trajectory of the world until— ——The originally ever-changing white world seemed to be a little stuck, and suddenly...a consciousness suddenly produced an emotion called doubt in its ignorance.
Why...there are Heroic Spirits who came to this world in the form of Servants for no reason...
I couldn't find the conditions for the spiritual spell, and I couldn't find the content of the contract...but it's true...the servant himself seemed to have signed a contract with an unknown existence...
But this contract itself has not passed the judgment of this ignorant consciousness itself...
Strange... so strange...
With the more curious exploration of the ignorant consciousness, its consciousness fluctuations became more active, and in the trajectory of the world, an existence like Gaia slowly opened its eyes.
In the white clouds, distorted and heterogeneous ideologies gradually condensed, and the complex information state formed a white mist-like consciousness that swept across the entire world——
"Whether it's good or bad, what human beings desire... is only survival...." The ethereal and somewhat indifferent and cold voice floated gently in this boundless space, and the huge breath passed through the bodies of one guardian after another. With the passage of time, the shape of the white mist-like consciousness gradually became more and more detailed, slowly condensing the limbs, body, and finally—the lifeless face was simulated by him from the distorted and transparent ancient god's motley body. He finally chose to gallop above the world in the form of a human being.
"I am... the consciousness set of human beings... Alaya Consciousness...."
Alaya raised his hand expressionlessly, opened his mouth in an unwavering voice, and took a deep look at the ever-changing world behind him—there was another existence like him, or more For the older being, the Earth Consciousness of the Mother of All, Gaia.
However, compared to Gaia who was able to talk to Zhu Yue thousands of years ago, his formation time seems to be a bit...too late, but fortunately, since his birth, he can borrow the ambition and great power of human beings Created a mechanism similar to Gaia's fantasy species, it can also be said that human ambition and will itself gave birth to the existence of the Hall of Valor——
……
The sudden mighty power made Saber, who was in deep thought, startled suddenly, and the green eyes that were originally slightly angry swept into the body at that moment, and the will that suddenly disappeared aroused a burst of astonishment—it seemed like a moment of physical shock. Not belonging to her, the feeling of suddenly falling weightlessly but disappearing in an instant is like a sense of crisis between life and death. When she was in a cold sweat, she couldn't help moaning softly.
This instantly eased the atmosphere between the two from the original tension, and also gave Limuru an opportunity to change the subject: "What's wrong? Saber."
Saber raised her arm strangely, stretched and stretched her right hand a few times, but she didn't find anything unusual—she sank her eyes slightly, and suddenly said: "It's nothing, master, I'm a little tired, so I'll step back first, Miss Kuonji I'm still waiting for you, just call me if you need it."
After finishing speaking, she slowly turned into a wave of spirits, and dissipated into the air again, leaving only Limuru with a puzzled face, raised her eyebrows, and pinched her chin in thought for a while.
Interesting, what happened at that moment? Saber almost liberated reflexively——
As the master, he could feel it. At that moment, Saber seemed to want to mobilize the magic power, but the time was very short. In just a moment, Saber seemed to prevent her own reflection and stop the use of magic power, but Even so, a small amount of mana has been consumed and supplied to Saber.
"Great Sage, haven't you found anything?"
"Maybe it's Saber's intuition that she sensed killing intent or misfortune?"
"If that's the case, Saber won't hide it from me..." Limuru thinks that she still understands part of Saber's temperament. If there is danger or other existence, Saber will definitely warn herself, not herself. Active spiritualization.
"Sorry, I can't find any relevant information from the world, and the changes in Saber's body, in my perception, are only the transfer of spirit particles and the mobilization of magic power—"
"Hmm... there's no need to apologize, it's not your fault... something must have happened just now, otherwise, it's impossible for a royal majesty of Saber's level to make that... cute voice out of composure?" Thinking of this, Li Mulu smiled lightly and said, "But since you can't detect it, it means that the degree of mystery has reached a certain level—could it be..."
"No, it shouldn't be. At this time, it is impossible for him to interfere in the world..."
Alaya's interference in the world can only be through the heroic spirit, and he can't even interfere with the choice and actions of the heroic spirit!
Chapter 093, the relationship between the master and the servant should be like this.
The master and the servant have an extremely close relationship.
At least as it should.
Because during the Holy Grail War, the master whose life is in danger at any time not only needs the intimate protection of the servant, but the servant who has become a spirit son can be said to be inseparable from the master, and during this period, it can be said that if the servant is that kind Curiosity is relatively strong, so everything the Master does can hardly be hidden from the followers, and the magician himself can see the life of the followers through dreams, as well as...nature.
Although a magician has magic and perception methods for spirit particles, that kind of technique is extremely troublesome and requires the assistance of a spirit particle detection device—so this makes the relationship between the master and the servant particularly important.
Once two people get along day and night, if the compatibility is too bad, then the contradiction will eventually be exposed.
If there is pressure from the Holy Grail War and the enemy, maybe both of them will suppress this contradiction in their hearts, but if there is no such pressure...
This is what Limuru is most worried about.
But the good thing is, compared to other servants, Saber is at least reassuring in some things, such as when Rimuru and Kuonji Yuzu need to talk about certain things, even if it is Saber in the spirit son state, Rimuru can also be sure that as long as he gives the order to stay outside the door, the other party will not eavesdrop on such behavior.
But if you have to be on such guard against your own followers all the time, it will be a kind of barrier in itself, and it will also make the followers feel dissatisfied.
Therefore, Limuru sincerely hopes that Saber will understand him and become a qualified master and servant of a team. At least for now, Limuru has no plans to change another servant.
For Rimuru, Saber who followed him to obtain the Holy Grail and finally discovered the truth of the Holy Grail may still end in tragedy, but at least it is better than the end of following Emiya Kiritsugu. Rimuru doesn't care, and has never thought about saving Saber , but just like when the president of a certain country can only choose one of the two, and when there is no object of support, people will always choose one of them with a slightly higher favorability, it seems that only Saber can control the seven existences in the Holy Grail War Let him take the initiative to give something.
Limulu lightly raised the delicate white porcelain teacup with golden silk patterns, took a sip of the steaming black tea, gently brushed the long hair of her face with a small hand and put it behind her head, revealing her ears, holding her chin He opened his indifferent eyes from deep thought, and glanced at the closed door, as if he had cast a thick wall and saw Saber waiting outside, his eyes flicked slightly.
"So, you have to return to the clock tower ahead of time." Kuonji Yuzu calmly drank black tea, looked down at an old magician's record, and Limuru glanced at it, it seemed to be called... "The Witch's Journey" .
Strange... Limulu's eyelids twitched slightly, showing a helpless wry smile, and stretched out a finger to scratch his cheek...
Youzhu obviously didn't look at her, where did this unwarranted pressure come from...
Invisible pressure begins to spread, but things in life are like this sometimes, and they will always give you unexpected surprises or surprises.
"Ah, but monarch meetings are usually on weekends, so there are still two days left." Rimuru said shyly. At the beginning, he told Kuonji Yuju about...a one-week trip...
"Hmm..." Jiu Yuanji Youzhu nodded, and raised his eyes slightly: "Don't delay."
"Ha, of course, in these two days, how about we take a good tour of Fuyuki City? I heard that the hot springs in Fuyuki City are amazing!"
"I don't like going out."
If it wasn't for special matters and necessary cleaning work, Jiuyuanji Youzhu could stay in the mansion forever, which is a veritable stay at home.
But this is not a good habit... Limulu blinked, and suddenly said: "Then you want me to go shopping with Saber?"
"..." Jiuyuan Temple Youzhu slightly paused his page-turning hand, and raised his eyes: "I'll accompany you."
……
Three days later - London, Clock Tower.
In the monarch's meeting room, on the quiet and slightly empty round table, Lidelle is sitting on her seat with her legs crossed and her cheeks resting like a queen—because it is not a very important meeting, and the topic has been decided from the very beginning The main event is to participate in the battle to support southern Europe, so many monarchs who are not interested in this simply don't come, such as the Animsfia monarch of the astronomy department, and he has never been interested in this kind of thing, never The mysterious and famous Brisisan monarch with easy hands.
Hmm... Is that old Uriface guy still cleaning up ghouls on the battlefield?That's right, only that gloomy old guy would be interested in corpses.
