I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Particles of light converge.

A fresh breath like a forest, a grassland, or a wilderness blew through the dark and cramped underground cell. Under the cleansing of this breath, the disharmonious atmosphere of blood, death, charm, etc. caused by Serenikei was swept away.

By the time the light particles had completely gathered into human form, Shen'er and Astolfo had regained their composure and looked at the third visitor tonight - Chiron, the Black Archer.

"Sorry, if Assassin and I had worked harder, you wouldn't have been treated so harshly."

When Vlad III and Avisbronn imprisoned Astolfo, Chiron wanted to plead for mercy, but Astolfo stopped him with his eyes.

"No, no, there is no point in splitting the camp into two for such a boring thing. I will be reprimanded and punished for this matter. If this can solve the problem, of course it would be the best. And -"

As one of Charlemagne's twelve warriors, Astolfo knew exactly what role he should play in this matter as a king and a lord. Regardless of whether this approach is right or wrong, it cannot change the fact that he disobeyed orders. In this case, Vlad III, as the Grand Duke, must punish him.

On the way back to the city, Astolfo was already prepared for this realization. Although he did not expect that the Grand Council would directly sentence him to death, he was a tyrant after all, so it was not incomprehensible to do so. In order to save themselves, Archer and Assassin have already contradicted the tyrant once. If they continue to contradict the tyrant, they may cause conflicts or even divisions between Black. This is what Astolfo is most worried about.

Vlad III was the commander, Chiron was the strategist, and there were supporters on both sides. The war is coming, and there cannot be any dispute between the coach and the strategist. So that's fine, one reckless knight being punished solves all problems.

Astolfo is such a bad guy. Even if he is irrational, he will instinctively think about his friends and doesn't even care what happens to himself.

"——This is not the first time that I have been imprisoned. I was arrested by His Majesty, imprisoned by Roland, and turned into a tree by a witch. I have a lot of experience in prison."

"What's there to be proud of?" Shenji scratched his hair helplessly, "Well, seeing you so energetic and optimistic makes me feel relieved."

"This is my greatest strength." Astolfo chuckled, "It's up to you to defeat the guys on the red side."

"That's natural." Chiron said firmly, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Is he still safe?"

"Well, probably, as long as he can reach the village safely."

"It will definitely be fine. Maybe you will have a chance to meet again." Shenji had such a premonition. After all, he is the protagonist of "Fate apocrypha", the son of fate in this world, how could he die so easily.

"Don't, it's so sad to finally escape and get involved again."

Astolfo looked sad, and Shinji couldn't help but hit him on the head.

"No one can say for sure about fate. Maybe after the war, you survive and reunite with him. Wouldn't you like that?"

"Ah, that's it. I am willing, very willing." Astolfo's face immediately changed from gloomy to sunny, "Okay, it's decided. I must survive and then go see Sieg!"

"That's between you two." Shenji narrowed his eyes.

To be honest, before meeting him in person, he didn't really like Astolfo's disconnection, but after getting to know him for a long time, he found that he was indeed a good person, and he couldn't bear to ignore him.

That's all, if everything goes well, I will finally help you obtain a physical body, help Sieg strengthen his body, and then send you two to the Netherlands to get married.

Well, that’s it. I suddenly feel very excited about it.

Astolfo's question interrupted Shen'er's wild thoughts: "By the way, why do you want to help Assassin?"

"Who knows, just think that my rationality has evaporated like you." This is not perfunctory, because the last weight that overwhelms the balance of choice is your own sensibility.

"Where's Archer?"

"In the final analysis, we are just fleeting undead souls without physical bodies. For us - it would be great if we could engrave such an existence on the world." Chiron's voice sounded very gentle. But it contains ardent expectations and unwavering faith.

Shenji showed a smile and said silently in his heart. What you will engraved, your knowledge, your teachings, your influence will be engraved, not only on this world, but also on another world.

"I think you are the one who should become the king." Rider said something that would definitely cause a big commotion if Vlad III heard it.

Chiron just shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm not good at standing in the wind."

After hearing these words, Rider couldn't help but sigh, "Oh~" and at the same time muttered in a low voice, "Sure enough, things in the world are always not what people want."

"Then work hard to make things go as you want. Now that I'm gone, I should go back and help Fiore prepare the medicine soup. I'll see you again tomorrow."

Shinji waved to the two of them, turned around and walked out of the dungeon.

"Aren't you going to ask about the Black Lancer?"

"That's an excuse to deal with your master. Brother Fei has already said what needs to be said."

"Wait a minute." Chiron said in hindsight.

Unfortunately, Shinji has turned into a spirit and left the dungeon.

Astolfo asked: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just want to remind him not to go to Miss Fiore at this time to avoid embarrassment."

Chiron said, about to contact Shenji using a method similar to induction. But on second thought, he gave up again.

"Forget it, this is also an opportunity to deepen the relationship between master and slave."

"I have no idea what you are talking about." Astolfo was confused.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. It's not an important thing. Tell me about the Black Lancer. I want to hear your evaluation."

"Oh, that is a very powerful and handsome female knight..."

◇◇◇

On the other side, after leaving the dungeon, Shen Er took the familiar route to the medicine warehouse, picked up the medicine according to the process he had already memorized, and then went to the kitchen to prepare the medicine.

Because it is just a medicine to relieve pain, the preparation process is very simple and does not require any special techniques. With Shenji's current hands-on ability, he can easily complete it as long as he prepares the medicinal materials and remembers the process.

Half an hour later, Shinji knocked on Fiore's door with a teacup filled with green soup.

"Fiore, it's me."

"A-assassin? No, no, you can't come in now!"

"???"

Wait, that’s the wrong reaction.

PS: In "Fate apocrypha", only Chiron used "Talk" to contact other followers. It is speculated that it is his exclusive skill, otherwise Black would not have been so bad in some battles.
