Lost Narrative Poetry

The outside world.

A land of the dead that accepts the dead and their souls, a world of death where shadows spread in all directions and sunlight never penetrates.

In the heart of the Kingdom of Shadows, this area is truly empty. Even the countless undead that are filled with it do not dare to set foot in this area easily, because they do not dare. After all, this is the residence of the master who controls this area. .

Standing on a desolate and precipitous mountain peak is a majestic and uncanny shadow castle. On the watchtower on the top floor of the castle, a queen with smooth and smooth dark purple hair is quietly looking into the distance. In a certain direction, he frowned slightly without any trace.

She noticed that Assassin's aura reappeared, approaching the demonic realm she controlled.

It's just that compared to before, his condition has obviously dropped a lot, and he seems to have weakened all of a sudden...

Of course, she knew what was going on, because although she didn't have too much hope, after noticing the other party's movements, she had been continuously observing through her clairvoyance, paying attention to the other party's actions throughout the process.

Therefore, it is natural to know very clearly about the trouble that the black-robed swordsman encountered... Although what happened in that tower was ominous, it was a fact that Assassin, who used the big sword, almost broke his sword in it.

Clairvoyance itself is an eye that can see very far away——

Low-level clairvoyance only emphasizes the good degree of vision, being able to capture distant targets at very long distances, including the improvement and strengthening of dynamic vision, etc., while high-level clairvoyance emphasizes the ability to see into the past, present, future, etc.

In other words, after reaching a certain level, clairvoyants will often have the ability to see the future, the past, or see through the present. In turn, it shows that if you can see the past and the future, you must also be able to see very far away.

Therefore, Merlin's clairvoyance, which claims to be able to see all over the present, is the most useless clairvoyance EX... After all, it stands to reason that A-level and above clairvoyance can already predict the future to a certain extent, and can also see extremely far away. things happening outside.

Knowing the world without leaving home is not much different from looking at the present. Anyway, you can only see what is happening in other places now...

The same is true for Scathach. Although she cannot directly see any corner of the world, there is no problem within the scope of Europe. She can also see farther away, and the British island is naturally within her sight. Inside.

"Did you really fail?...Forget it, at least you survived. Being able to escape has already proved your title."

The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows slightly frowned and sighed, but she did not prevent the black-robed swordsman from landing on the Isle of Skye, passing through the gate of the Demon Realm, and entering her own Kingdom of Shadows. She also opened the door that she had deliberately sealed. Kouzi.

Just like before, she specially opened the sealed door of the Demon Realm to let the other party leave the Kingdom of Shadows. Although strictly speaking, Scathach actually felt that Assassin's behavior was unreliable, but he also held on to some unrealistic hope.

After all, no matter what the other party said, he was still a crown-level assassin. He was a legend at the top of this class. It was not completely impossible for the other party to do what he couldn't do... Anyway, there was no harm in giving it a try.

——As for the possibility that the other party will die directly and be sent back to the Throne of Heroes, this outcome is not considered a disadvantage in the Queen's opinion.

If it succeeds, all the problems can be solved easily. If it fails, it will only lose the combat effectiveness of a riding servant... What kind of loss is this?

It's not like the combined combat power of himself and others would give him a chance to defeat the magician who entered the realm of magic. Because no one is missing, the loss of a servant is a fatal impact.

The fact is that even if the seven crowned heroic spirits come together, it is impossible to say that victory is certain. Therefore, it should be defeated or defeated. So there is no fundamental difference if there is one more and one less.

Instead of forcing the Assassin to stay and use it as a frontal combat force for the decisive battle, let's bet on whether a miracle can happen during the final stud.

It is better to let him try to use his best field and the most professional method from the beginning to see if he can directly solve the problem through beheading tactics! No matter how you look at it, the success rate of the latter is more worth looking forward to, right?

——This is what Scathach thinks. She looks at the entire problem from a more rational perspective than humans.

Just after he opened the door that he had sealed, he watched the black-robed swordsman relax and let out a sigh of relief the moment he entered the Kingdom of Shadows. At this time, Scathach also noticed the slight movement from behind.

So, she gathered her thoughts, as if nothing had happened, turned around slightly and said with a smile: "It seems that you have resolved the conflict. Have you finally reached a consensus..."

"Miss Scathach..."

Even though he deliberately walked softly, Fujimaru Ritsuka was easily noticed when he heard this, and immediately smiled bitterly. For such a situation, this girl also felt very anxious.

Fortunately, what I didn't expect was that after the fifth North American singularity last time, I actually saw Miss Scathach again in the sixth singularity and got her help. Otherwise, I don't know how it would end.

This is why everyone can get temporary peace. Knowing that this is the Kingdom of Shadows, they can sit down and discuss it.

The girl let out a long sigh, not hiding her headache: "It's not a resolution of the conflict. They are still very wrong with each other. Now it can only be said that they barely understand the situation. Before the ultimate goal of restoring human nature, they are holding on. Nose just put aside the grudges for the time being..."

"Isn't this enough? How far do you want to go? The person you want to follow is not a loyal slave or servant."

The queen with long dark purple hair just smiled.

"Although they are still high-level familiars in essence, they are not tools that any magician can use at will. They all have their own personalities and ideas. Even if they cannot continue to make history, they are indeed the same as when they were alive. Both..."

"I know this. I have never regarded servants as tools. I have always felt that they are the most trustworthy comrades and companions." Fujimaru Ritsuka hurriedly explained.

"That's right, this is the path you choose, so you have to face these problems."

Scathach said casually, she also admired the temperament of this last master of mankind, who never gave up hope even in the face of fear, and always trusted and relied on his servants, based on the principle of exchanging sincerity for sincerity. Go make friends.

This is probably why she has so many connections. She may not be a qualified magician or warrior, and her qualifications can only be said to be better than nothing, but as a Master, she is unprecedentedly outstanding.

After thinking for a while, the queen warned seriously: "If you want to restore human nature, you cannot do it alone. You must rely on the power of those heroic spirits. And situations like this will definitely happen again in the future... "

"...I understand." The girl bit her lower lip gently and smiled helplessly.

She knew what the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows meant. Heroic spirits were heroes from other eras, heroes in legends, but they were often not the protagonists in a one-man show. That was when all the heroes came together to perform and compose a magnificent epic. period of historical legend.

But it often means that the interpersonal relationships between heroic spirits are very complicated and can often involve many people, and their entanglements during their lifetimes are often very confusing... and some grievances are not so easy to let go of.

The small fights in the past often just passed away. The hearts of the heroic spirits can be said to be very big and majestic, not so small-minded... But they can swallow any anger, which is a complete death. There are always some that they don't care about. Something that is absolutely unforgivable.

However, this is a problem that Fujimaru Ritsuka must face.

Because she will inevitably continue to encounter such things in the future. If she cannot be ruthless and decisively choose to take sides every time, cooperate with one party to directly eliminate the other party, and solve the problem in this way...

Then we have to find a way to ease these historical issues and try to get the heroic spirits to put aside their disputes and fight together.

After all, in the face of the ultimate goal and righteousness of restoring human nature, even sworn enemies must first put aside their prejudices, trust each other behind each other, and work together... Only in this way can there be a chance of victory and regain the future of mankind.

The enemy who calls himself the Magic King Solomon is not a piece of shit that can be easily dealt with. If the heroic spirits themselves still have their own agendas and intrigues, then there is really no hope.

"It's not that this kind of thing has never happened before, but I think... they probably know their priorities and have a bigger picture..." After carefully thinking about what happened at the second singularity, Fujimaru Ritsuka Say this as optimistically as possible.

"Don't take it too lightly, otherwise you will suffer a lot..." Scathach said, "I said, servants also have their own ideas and personalities. They are not robots, and their minds can change..."

"..." The girl blinked in confusion.

"Let's put it this way, do you know about the Holy Grail War?" Scathach asked in a different teaching method.

"I know, what we are participating in now is actually the Holy Grail War, but it is on a larger scale. It is not in a certain city, but in seven different eras." Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded, although she was Ordinary people are just trying to catch up, but after this period of hard work, they 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've heard of it before. It seems that it was originally a decisive battle magic used to save the world. Human beings downgraded this ritual for their own convenience and the summoning system became the Holy Grail War."

"Yes, that is indeed the case, but have you ever thought about it?" Scathach looked at her calmly, "Whether it is selfishness or something else, it is the human race's own business to downgrade that ritual. Why do heroic spirits still respond to the call? , what about participating in the Holy Grail War?"

"this……"

"The simple truth is that not only humans are pursuing the Holy Grail, but heroic spirits are also pursuing the Holy Grail, or something in the Holy Grail War. This shows that they also have wishes they want to fulfill, regrets they want to make up for, and things they want to achieve. Obsession..."
