My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 402 Chiron’s unexpected visit
Feel the strong swaying.The magic is drained from the stripped nerves.The soul is melting, melting, dissolving.Although his consciousness is clear, he cannot think.The weak instinct was telling something sadly, but to "him", it was just a subtle beast's cry.

Unable to recognize, unable to think.Completely unable to construct logic.Unable to assert oneself, unable to even determine whether one is alive.Only innate knowledge can turn the elusive feeling like clouds into words.

——I am living.

Simple facts.It was a fact that even a crying baby could subconsciously understand, but until now, he still didn't know what it meant to be alive.

He is a creature created based on magic circuits. While his understanding of knowledge is quite amazing, he also lacks a sense of reality.

No matter how deformed a creature he is, his five senses still operate faithfully, and his organs called 'ears' receive sound waves from the outside world.

"Is he still alive?" It was a clear voice.

"Yes, it's just...it's very difficult to live seriously. I'm afraid I can only save three years of life." The deep voice said this.

What followed was silence, a voice he was no longer familiar with.

During the long days in the magic supply tank, all he could hear were these empty echoes, meaningless silence.

So he broke the glass trough and forced himself out of there, just to get rid of the illness that almost crushed him to suffocation.

It didn't take long for those two voices tore through the gradually closing curtain.

"...I'm so sorry for soiling your bed."

"It doesn't matter...but let me ask a question, why do you want to save him?"

Why save me?
So, was I saved by him?

Suddenly some kind of power was injected into his heart, and the delicate android once again ordered himself to go against his instincts, forcefully opened his eyelids, and turned his head.

What came into view was a handsome young man with a pink ponytail and light armor, and a muscular blond man standing next to him with a slightly troubled expression.

"Ah, I'm awake."

Astolfo noticed the movement on the bed and answered Chiron's question while waving enthusiastically towards the android.

"Because I want to save him."

There was no momentum in his words.Just save because you want to save.Simple and natural.Because of this, this is an act that is difficult for anyone other than Rider to do.

However, Astolfo's next words made Chiron change his expression.

"What's more, I'm not the one who really saved him, right?"

"……What's the meaning?"

"Ah, yes, after all, I was the one who brought him to your room - actually, I didn't discover this child, but the sixth director, Miss Lingxia, entrusted it to me."

"Sixth Director Lingxia? In other words...the Osare clan?"

The android heard the blond man inhale slightly, seemingly quite surprised. After a moment of silence, he said to himself:
"It seems necessary to ask for clarification."

"Well, what did you say?" Astolfo did not hear Chiron's whisper, and it was obvious that the great sage did not intend to let the paladin know his thoughts, so he turned to discussing things about artificial humans.

"Caster seems to be chasing him?"

"Ah haha, who cares about him?"

Astolfo smiled and raised his hands in the air. Although Archer sighed, he believed that his judgment must be correct.

It is true that winning on the battlefield is important, but the current situation does not lead to a situation where the duty of a heroic spirit is forgotten.Saving him and letting him go should be allowed and should be done.

"...I'll leave this room for a while. No one will come. Even if someone knocks on the door, don't answer."

"Thank you. Then, let me stay for a while."

Just before leaving the room, Archer suddenly looked back and spoke to the android:
"Tell me about your wish."

"Chiron..."

"Call me Archer, the Rider of Black." Chiron removed his gentle smile and looked at the newborn in front of him with critical eyes like a strict teacher. "My room is not safe. As long as you stay in Mire Nia Fortress, Caster will find you sooner or later - tell me, what is your wish?"

"Ah, of course -"

"Please don't talk, Rider. It's him I'm asking about. I need to see his soul and will."

Regardless of whether he likes it or not, the moment the sixth director Lingxia handed the artificial man to Astolfo, the artificial man fell into a strange whirlpool of fighting.

For a great sage, rescuing those in distress is a normal behavior. However, this time Chiron is holding the bow as Black's Archer. He must be responsible for the Millennium World Tree and his master Fiore. .

Perhaps today’s artificial man is still very ignorant, immature, and confused, but he still has the power to think, make choices, and decide his destiny—this is the biggest difference between humans and props.

We can help you, but first you can't give up on yourself.

If you are not satisfied with the answer, I'm sorry. As Black's strategist, I must nip your risk in the cradle.

Under Chiron's gaze, the android began to think.Wishes, wishes, wishes - after all, do you have the right to turn your wishes into words?He has no strength, no possessions, and no accumulated history.It's just a device that supplies magic power... But he even gave up on this task.However, he still has a desire that is not commensurate with his status.That was the desire and dream hidden in his body.He never thought it would happen.However, it should be fine just to talk, he judged.

open mouth.Using a vocal organ that he had hardly used until now, he managed to say his 'wishes' even though it was a painful task.

"Please help...save me."

Archer relaxed his face after hearing this wish, nodded gently to the android, closed the door and left. Rider opened his arms, hugged the android tightly, and answered in a brisk tone:

"I know, I will save you."

For this artificial man, how lucky he was to meet the "black" Rider, Astolfo.

On the suspension bridge built underground, Shuo Yue looked at the magnificent Holy Grail with the help of little Jack's eyes.

Perhaps because of its roots in Romania, the shape of the Great Holy Grail has changed - there is no simple golden cup shape, instead there are three statues engraved with the Virgin of Winter, like works of art, like trees rooted in the golden on the shell.

But Shuoyue can still feel the familiar resonance and call. Obviously, even if Darnic spent 60 years, he could not break through the Holy Grail system jointly created by Makiri, Tohsaka, and Einzbern, and modify its internal underlying permissions.

Otherwise, there would be no Holy Grail War.

"Mother Shuo Yue, are you okay? Jack wants to sleep with mother Lingxia."

No matter how novel the scenery is, it would be boring for a child. Deep in his consciousness, little Jack made a weak protest.

"Shh, Jack is a good baby. As long as you wait for Shuo Yue's mother... ahem, Mr. Shuo Yue is done, you can come back."

I definitely wanted to talk about Shuoyue’s mother just now, Lingxia!
Shuo Yue, who was far away on the other side, had a face full of black lines, blocking the interaction between Lingxia and Jack, and continued to use magic to interfere with the system of the Great Holy Grail.

Although he comes as Assassin, magic is not like martial arts, which requires repeated practice and formation of muscle memory. Once you know it, you can master it. As long as your consciousness and memory remain unchanged, you can perform it.

Of course, so does magic.

Shuo Yue, who had fought with the Heavenly Grail in the four battles, had already figured out the system of the Great Holy Grail. As long as the key of the third method is still there, no matter how hard the Thousand World Tree tries to increase disguise and concealment, , Shuo Yue can easily open the door lock and sneak into their 'treasures'.

Thousand World Tree, your Great Holy Grail tastes really good~
In the attempt to use the third method, Shuo Yue came to three conclusions.

One: Under the special circumstances of the Holy Grail War, the conditions for fully activating the Great Holy Grail have not changed - investing in the souls of seven knights, and if the job description is different, more will be needed.

Second: The Great Holy Grail cannot be taken away secretly. Although the Thousand World Tree cannot open the lock, it does not prevent them from setting an alarm on the door - as long as Shuo Yue pries the Great Holy Grail, they will definitely sense it.

This also means that Sakuyue's plan to secretly take away the Great Holy Grail failed.

As for the third conclusion, that is, although Shuo Yue cannot take away the Holy Grail, Shuo Yue can secretly create a manager (GM) account and penetrate into the underlying system of the Great Holy Grail.

Although it is impossible to do such outrageous things as forcibly repatriating heroic spirits and adding command spells to oneself, if the conditions are met, Sakutsu can designate a new Master and have the Holy Grail recognize it and hand over the command spell!
This is undoubtedly a good backup method for the 'blue' camp that is short of manpower.

"Although I don't want outsiders to get involved, when it comes to the last resort, I will use this authority..."

Talking to himself like this, Shuo Yue was just about to control Little Jack to return, but there was a sudden fluctuation on the side of Sixth Director Lingxia.

"What's wrong, Lingxia?"

"There's someone knocking on the door...Miss Artoria said it's the Black Archer, Chiron!"

Chiron?
Why did Black's great sage come here at night?
Was my and Little Jack's actions discovered?

Although Shuo Yue was frightened, he quickly gave instructions: "Disconnect and open the door. Sixth Director Lingxia, follow what was rehearsed on the plane, and you must not make Chiron suspicious!"

That is the resourcefulness of the black camp. If the secret is exposed in front of him from the beginning, the situation of the sixth leader Lingxia will be extremely difficult in the future!

"But... Mr. Shuo Yue's magic power will not be enough in this case!"

As the intermediary for Shuo Yue and Little Jack to share their vision, Sixth Director Lingxia takes on a large part of the nodes for the circulation of magic power. If she withdraws, Shuo Yue will consume more than a hundred times the magic power to connect with Little Jack!
"There's no time, hurry up, in the worst case, I'll use the Command Seal to replenish my magic power!"

With a command, the will of Sixth Director Lingxia was immediately cut out. Shuo Yue, who was sitting on a street lamp somewhere, groaned, and the magic power poured into the distance like a flood gate.

Damn it, Assassin's physique...

Cursing in his heart, Shuo Yue remained calm on the surface, but spoke much faster.

"Lingxia's mother is in danger, so little Jack, you have to try your best to match my rhythm."

"Okay, Mother Shuoyue, little Jack will be obedient!"

Sensing the anxiety in the atmosphere, the little Loli agreed seriously, turned into a ghost again, and quickly rushed upward.

The sacred light like gold gradually faded away, and Shuo Yue did not look back, but silently swore in her heart.

When we meet again, you will definitely belong to me.

Great Grail.
