I don't want to be a heroic spirit

"Ah... Why did I accept such a troublesome commission? It feels a bit unlike myself."

For a man, his long brown hair is like a lion's mane. There are three very ferocious claw marks on his right face. With black sunglasses, it is not surprising that he is regarded as a terrorist or the leader of the Black Hand Gang.

The man's name is Shizi Jiejieli. He was once arrested by the police as a thug because of his scary appearance, but he is not a terrorist or a Black Hand Gang.

But in fact, it is not much different, because his job is a mercenary.

At the same time, he is also a magician, who is good at necromancy.

The Magic Association issued a commission to him, entrusting him to participate in this Holy Grail War as the master of the red side and win.

Because he is a necromancer, Shizi Jiejieli specially selected a large cemetery as the place to summon servants.

After all, he slept with corpses when he was very young. This place that is too scary for ordinary people is as safe as returning home to him.

The array for summoning had already been drawn, and the holy relic given to him by the Magic Association was placed in the middle.

Although if you summon directly without the holy relic, the servant summoned is most likely to be the most compatible with the summoner, but in that case, the randomness is too great, and it is difficult to summon a strong servant.

The rules and scale of this Holy Grail War are also different from the previous Holy Grail Wars. If the servant summoned is not strong enough, he himself will be in great danger.

The holy relic given to him by the Magic Association this time has an extraordinary origin. Even he, who has been in the battlefield for many years, was shocked when he was told of its origin.

The fragments of the round table in "The Legend of King Arthur".

Needless to say, King Arthur, with his star-made holy sword and the bonus of popularity, is definitely the top servant that can be summoned.

In these years, subspecies Holy Grail Wars can be seen everywhere, and the rules of the Holy Grail War have been explored almost.

Magicians who have participated in the subspecies Holy Grail War widely agree that if King Arthur or Hercules can be summoned, then this Holy Grail War can almost be said to be a sure win.

Even if King Arthur is not summoned, the Knights of the Round Table who have a fate with the Round Table are also very powerful.

Tristan, Lancelot, Gawain...

All are first-class servants.

But... Lion Jie Li is still a little hesitant.

He sat on a protruding rock and quietly lit a cigarette for himself.

The aroma of nicotine always calms his mind.

While the lighter lit the cigarette, it also illuminated the blood-red stigma on the back of his right hand.

That is the [Command Seal], which is the proof that he was chosen as the Master by the Holy Grail.

"Can I... really grasp it?"

Even if the Knights of the Round Table are really summoned, there is no shortage of monsters in the Holy Grail War. Can he really survive this cruel war and get what he wants?

He doesn't know.

Who can say for sure about the future?

When the cigarette was burned to a short piece, Shizi Jiejieli made a decision... or was forced to make a decision.

"I can only give it a try."

It was not the first time that he lived a life of licking blood on the edge of a knife.

Opportunities coexist with dangers.

"Silver and iron are the materials, and the Duke of Stone and Contract is the basis."

"The color of dedication is red."

As Shizi Jiejieli chanted, the magic power of the earth veins was mobilized and gathered under the traction of the magic circle.

"Block the wind of advent with a wall and close the four doors."

"Come out from the crown and keep circulating on the three-way road leading to the kingdom."

The holy marks on the back of his hand gradually became hot, as if they were baked by flames.

"I declare this."

"Your body will be my destiny, and my fate will become your sword."

"Follow the entrustment of the Holy Grail, and respond if you wish to follow this meaning and this principle."

"I swear here."

"I am the one who accomplishes all the good deeds in the world."

"I am the one who denies all the malice in the world."

"You, the seven days of the three great words, come from the wheel of restraint!"

"Guardian of Libra!"

Chapter 174 Altria Pendragon

This is a road to destruction

Before I drew the holy sword and put on the crown, I had witnessed the end of this country with my own eyes.

I saw the pure white city crumble, I saw the knights in glory fall apart, I saw the golden sun fall into the blood-stained hills.

I will die with this country.

I took on the name of king only after I knew the end of this fate.

If the fate of destruction cannot be changed, then just accept it with pleasure.

But before the end comes...

I saw the golden wheat fields, I saw the radiance of hope, I saw the people around me smiling with anticipation for the future.

If it is my mission to lead the fate of this land and bring everyone to that vision, then I will gladly accept it.

"I hope you can think about it again."

My teacher, my friend, my guide, the person I admired, said this to me on the green field and under the dusk.

"Once you pick up that sword, you will no longer be human until the end. You will be hated by everyone and will eventually face a tragic death."

Maybe.

Maybe I will lose myself after wearing that crown.

Maybe I will make many mistakes after pulling out that holy sword.

Maybe I will be isolated, spurned, and betrayed by everyone, and then meet the destined end at the most painful moment.

Maybe, but...

"I can see that many people are smiling."

The wind blowing through the green fields also gently touches the girl's hair that is as bright as golden sand.

"So, I believe that doing this must be meaningful."

…………

The night is always quiet.

The perfect full moon quietly hangs high in the sky, casting the silvery moonlight.

"..."

The tall woman stood on the cliff, but her feet did not touch the ground, letting the silvery moonlight sprinkle on her body.

Her figure is like a goddess... No, she is the goddess.

Her long hair, like golden sand, sparkled in the moonlight. She wore a gorgeous silver-white dress with silver arm and leg armor. The translucent skirt was like the moonlight with a shape. Behind her head, there were two circles of light formed by countless golden light particles.

Altria lowered her eyes slightly, and there was no warmth in her beautiful emerald eyes.

In front of her, a light screen appeared.

"Because I'm the Ruler of this match, you gave me the skill [True Name See]?"

Altria waved her hand and said slowly without any fluctuations: "Although I think I probably won't be able to use this skill."

"I don't have any Command Seals on me... It seems that those should be with another Ruler."

As the referee of the Holy Grail War, the Ruler has two absolute commands for each Servant, that is, two Command Seals, and this Holy Grail War is a bit special. There are not seven but fourteen Servants, which means that the Ruler has a total of twenty-eight Command Seals.

But Artoria doesn't care about those command spells... or rather, she doesn't care about anything now.

"The influence of this spiritual foundation on me is greater than I imagined."

Artoria can feel that her emotional fluctuations are much smaller than when she was Bawanshi and Okita Souji, and her perspective is gradually changing from an individual to the whole of humanity.

"...Is it because of the influence of divinity?"

It is the most foolish behavior for humans to speculate on the thoughts of God, because the perspectives and ways of thinking of gods and humans are completely different.

The final boss of the sixth singularity, the Lion King, was born because Bedivere did not return the holy sword, which made King Arthur unable to die, and finally became the king of the dead wandering in the world.

In the years she wandered in the world, the holy spear Rungomyniad in her hand gave her divinity, and her humanity as a human was gradually suppressed by divinity. Finally, what was born was the goddess Rungomyniad who appeared in front of Chaldea in the name of the Lion King.

Of course, after Bedivere returned the holy sword to the king, the sixth singularity was corrected, and the Lion King disappeared, leaving no records. The Lancer Altria in the game was just King Arthur holding the holy spear, not the goddess Rungomyniad.

Similarly, although Ruler Altria called herself the "Swimsuit Lion King", she was just the Lancer Altria with a modified spiritual base, and had nothing to do with the Lion King.

But even so, the divinity bestowed by the Holy Spear still belonged to her.

This was her first time to become a servant with divinity, and it was inevitable to be affected. I believe that after having experience, it will not be as serious as it is now when she becomes another divine servant in the future.

In particular, some servants are not as simple as having divinity, but are real gods. If you are not careful, it is not impossible for the self as [His Phoenix Feather] to be completely suppressed.

"Da Vinci, Da Vinci... can you hear me?"

Altria called Da Vinci expressionlessly. In the past, Da Vinci would have responded immediately, but this time, Da Vinci did not respond.

"As expected."

Altria's face showed no surprise.

She began to recall the reason why she came to this world...

In the previous worlds, Da Vinci did not talk to her often.

That's because Chaldea discovered the original world, which is called "Type-Moon World" by many people.

However, the danger level of Type-Moon World is unique among so many worlds.

Only in this world, the world consciousness or restraint force frequently intervenes too much in the development of the world.

In many infinite flow novels, Type-Moon World is also one of the most dangerous worlds for outsiders, travelers, and reborn people.

Even though Chaldea was originally from the Type-Moon world, the Restraint of the Type-Moon world did not welcome them like a mother who saw her child return home after a long time of monastic life, so Da Vinci went to communicate with the Restraint.

The Restraint was not on guard against Chaldea, but Altria... or rather, [Her Phoenix Feather].

After all, she can now become all the servants recorded in the Chaldea Spiritual Base Atlas. If one day she becomes an Adventer or even a Beast in the Type-Moon world, then the Restraint will have no place to cry!

Chapter 175 Ruler

Da Vinci said that the things that Restraint negotiated with just need to be handed over to her, and the Master only needs to wait for her good news.

Not long ago, Altria heard that the Restraint had loosened its grip and she was allowed to enter the Type-Moon world, but there was a condition.

"It's a test, Master, you must participate in a Holy Grail War as a Ruler."
