I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Treasures have many forms of classification, such as level, category, scope of action, and the one I want to talk about now - characteristics.

According to different characteristics, Noble Phantasms can be divided into two types.

A kind of ordinary treasure. You can't tell it when you hold it in your hand. Only when you know the real name can you know who its owner is.

Another kind of Noble Phantasm with very obvious characteristics, such as Vlad III's "King of Execution" and Arturia's "Sword of Oath of Victory". This type of Noble Phantasm does not need to be liberated by its true name. It can be recognized as long as it is seen in real form.

Indra's Thunder (a common magical weapon in Buddhism, which may be used by heroes who have something to do with Buddhism. A specific example is the gun class Gen Laiguang. The precious phantom is the Vajra or the genuine Thunder God Vajra), Ish Tal Gun (there are too many heroic spirits who use guns, and there are also many heroic spirits who have magic guns), Goddess Scepter (although there are not as many staffs with healing power as those who use guns, there are still a considerable number, especially with Divine Scepter) Heroic spirits related to religion, belief, possessing a staff blessed by God or knowing one or two healing skills are normal) and belong to the first type.

The Pegasus Pegasus and the Shield of Athena belong to the second type, and their characteristics are extremely obvious. This is why Shinji will never use Pegasus unless absolutely necessary, and he will use the Shield of Athena secretly. Once this kind of treasure is exposed, it is basically equivalent to confirming the true name - even if it is not, he will associate it with it, so Only Shinji would say such a thing.

After hearing this explanation, Fiore and others also accepted Shenji's statement, but a certain doubt in their hearts still lingered, and that was——

"You are not Perseus but you possess his Noble Phantasm. Who are you?"

"This... we can't know until we get the Holy Grail."

Sorry Fiore, I really can't say it now. If you still want to know the answer when everything is over, I will give you an explanation. I hope you won't be disappointed by then.

"Well, I'll look forward to it." Fiore never saw Shenji's expression and smiled innocently.

"It still doesn't work. The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment -"

——After all, I am just a faker, just like a certain archer in red.

Shinji sighed and turned his gaze to Corless.

"How are the others doing?"

Corless replied: "Archer is still alive, Caster..."

"Teacher, it's okay... but half of the golems have been destroyed, and the rest have varying degrees of damage. Only the ones farther away and those inside the castle can still function normally."

Luo Xie felt extremely sad that the golem he and Caster had worked so hard to create was smashed to pieces. However, he still confirmed the fact that Caster, whom he cared about most, was still alive.

After hearing this, Shenji nodded secretly. If he remembered correctly, the loss should have reached 80%, but now it has dropped to half. The battle damage of the androids should be smaller than that of the golems. The tactical framework formulated by Chiron and Astolfo is that the golems serve as human shields and rush to the front line, while the android troops intersperse to fill in the positions. In this way, most of the attacks will be shared by the golem, and then it will be the android's turn. The battle damage ratio should be below 50%, and all of his efforts were finally in vain.

"There can be no problem with Saber." Gold's attitude was as proud as ever.

"The same goes for the Grand Duke, where is Rider?"

Danik, who was standing by the bed, turned to look at Selenikai. Astolfo and Shinji jointly took on the task of sending Spartacus to heaven. Although they left early, the Hippogriff had already accumulated considerable injuries at that time, and it was unknown how far it could run.

"Ah, Rider is fine, it's just——" Selenika broke the whip in her hand with all her strength, her voice filled with strong unwillingness and anger.

"……ah."

Shenji turned his head and glanced at the projection in front of Serenike, and the expression on his face froze at that time.

I saw Astolfo riding a Hippogriff, limping along the wilderness that was completely wiped out by the explosion, without even a trace of ups and downs. One of the Hippogriff's wings was broken and his right front paw was also injured. Fortunately, its owner was basically intact. At most, his hair was a little messy and his face was stained with dirt.

This is certainly a happy thing, but it is not enough to make Shenji show such an expression, because he knows very well the true ability of Hippogriff.

The phantom horse that does not exist in this world (Hippogriff)

Grade: B+

Type: Anti-army Noble Phantasm

Distance: 2～50

Maximum capture: 100 people

A magical beast born between a griffon and a mare. The upper body is a griffin, and the lower body is a horse. It is a fantasy beast that "cannot exist" in the first place. Its level is inferior to that of the gryphon, a beast from the Age of Gods, but the crushing attack caused by its dash is comparable to an A-level physical attack. It can fly at a speed of four hundred kilometers per hour.

However, its real trump card is not its sudden attack on the enemy, but its hidden function called "Dimension Jump". After liberating the true name, when the eagle screams, the eagle and its rider will switch to a vague posture and disappear, evading all forms of observation in the world, and even reappearing in other places. Even if it is an attack so powerful that it can destroy both gods and Buddhas, it will never be able to harm a single hair on it.

As its name suggests - the Hippogriff, which does not exist in this world, its existence is very vague, and it is not even clear whether it exists or not. Because as long as the griffin still regards the horse as food, it is impossible for the two to unite and give birth to a hippogriff. Therefore, the more the true name is liberated and the more its power is revealed, the stronger the recognition that it is an "insubstantial existence" becomes stronger. This means sublimating from this dimension and erasing one's own existence. Since Astolfo, as the rider, is a physical existence, whenever the Hippogriff is about to disappear in a blur, the physical rider will pull it back, and they cycle between disappearing and appearing, so The effect is only momentary.

Because of his absolutely harmless cheating skills, Shinji dared to let Astolfo resist the first wave of Atalanta's Noble Phantasm and deal with Spartacus, who had turned into a monster.

It may seem like a fluster, but it's actually as steady as an old dog. This is Astolfo, who is already known as "weak", but he ranks among the Twelve Warriors of Charlemagne with Roland, Leonardo and other strong men, and is famous in history. one of the reasons.

Only Shinji and Astolfo knew the secret of the Hippogriff, and no one else, including Serenekai, knew about it. But this is not the reason why Serenekai is angry. After all, she did not ask, and Astolfo's character will not take the initiative to confess. The reason why she is angry is because she rides with Astolfo. The person sitting behind him.

The short, ear-length hair that is darker than beige, the ruby-like pupils, and the exquisite appearance that has been artificially polished all illustrate his identity as an artificial human.

And the clothes on his body that are completely different from those of the Thousand World Tree clan indicate that he does not live in the city of Myrenia. Coupled with Astolfo's affectionate attitude, the answer is ready to come out.

At this moment, a question kept repeating in Shenji's mind: "Why did Sieg appear here?"

PS: Other treasure phantom categories:

Qingyun Sword belongs to the first type. There are more heroes who use swords than guns, whether Chinese or foreign, unless you recognize the runes on the sword.

Hades' cloak belongs to the first type. There are many people wearing cloaks, and there are also many Noble Phantasms that can make them invisible. Siegfried has an invisibility cloak, but he is restricted by the job agency and cannot carry it.

Feather shoes belong to the second type. There is only one shoe that can fly, but like the Shield of Athena, no one will notice it if you cover it up - after all, there are many people who can fly magic.

The Snake Scythe belongs to the first type. The iron sickle with a long wooden handle looks very ordinary. You can just take off the long wooden handle and cut leeks. Of course, hitting the target and causing damage is another matter.

PS2: Astolfo’s Noble Phantasm Supplement: The Hippogriff only exists in oral tradition as a philosophical symbol. However, in "Crazy Orlando" where Astolfo and others appeared, because the author had the intention of "since the Hippogriffs have appeared, it will not be surprising no matter how absurd things happen." Therefore, the Hippogriffs are included. Still showed up. Astolfo even goes to the moon to save Roland in Orlando.

PS3: It’s very confusing whether the master can know the detailed information of the Servant’s Noble Phantasm. Some masters know it very well, such as Danic and Illya, but some masters are very vague, such as Tohsaka. Lin, Weber. The traitor has temporarily set the Noble Phantasm information according to FZ and FSN to be very simple. Even his master cannot see the specific information. He knows that the servant actively told the master or used it in front of the master.
