My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 404 Persecution from Shuo Yue
Stars, moon, night.

A jackdaw rises in the distance, screams hoarsely, and swoops away.

The air is fresh and empty, and a trickle of light falls on the asphalt highway, protective railings and sparse traffic, and this vast world begins to have the sense of security of civilized existence.

But drivers who drive late at night feel something.If you fix your eyes on the highway sign pointing the way and take a while to adjust to the darkness, you will be able to vaguely make out the presence that is separated from the outline.

The night wind was slightly cold, blowing the black robes, and in the silhouette that was burning quietly like black flames, a pair of golden eyes lit up.The young man reached out and took off his hood. His short white hair was like the cold frost at night. He looked at the dim horizon. After a moment of silence, he suddenly sighed:
"I didn't expect that Black would be in trouble so soon..."

Starting from the awakening and escape of the artificial man "Zig", it was announced that the progress of the war was accelerating. The red and black sides were no longer simply testing, but began to mobilize their troops and carry out round after round of attacks.

For example, the red 'Berserker' that is still galloping towards the Black Fortress, or the 'Sky Garden' that is about to be completed by Empress Semiramis, or... that came due to the abnormality of this Holy Grail War, and has mastered it. Ruler Jeanne d'Arc, the judge with absolute command over her followers.

At this moment in the new moon, a cold wind is blowing, and I am waiting quietly on the Transylvania Highway, the only national road leading to Tulifas.

The original plan was to bury arrangements here in advance after finishing the exploration of the Great Holy Grail to prepare for Joan of Arc's arrival tomorrow night... But obviously, due to Chiron's intrusion, Shuoyue's magic power at this time has been squeezed out. Not a drop is left, and it will probably take a long time to recover.

The plan to ambush in advance was terminated, but it was not without rewards - Lingxia, the sixth guide who was the first to discover and entrust the artificial man to Astolfo, has already stepped into the center of the dark undercurrent, no matter what happens Whatever it is, she has the convenience and right to get involved.

On the other hand, looking back at the 'red side' where he is...

During the process of moving into a spiritual body, Shuo Yue smiled bitterly in her heart.

Perhaps because he was a "shady" himself, Amakusa and the Empress were not particularly wary of him. Even if he deliberately exposed himself to the familiar's sight, Amakusa had no intention of subpoenaing him, as if he had completely surrendered Sakuyue. forget.

Is the way of joining too radical? No, if not, Amakusa would not agree to my joining at all.

In a flash of thought, Shuo Yue came to a conclusion.

Since you want to be radical, let's implement this style to the end.

Approaching the spiritual veins, Shuo Yue accelerated the recovery of his magic power, his golden eyes shining like stars.

Next, he's going to do something risky.

----

Among the seven magicians selected by the Clock Tower to defeat Yggdomirenia - one of them, Father Shirou, the supervisor sent by the Holy Church, was kneeling respectfully in front of the five Masters.

Just like the kings, Shirou and the Masters are far apart.Not only that, thin curtains were also drawn in front of the five people. Shirou's vision was blocked and he could only vaguely see figures.

"……Report."

Shirou reported eloquently to the Masters on the other side of the thin curtain: "...The battle situation is completely to our advantage. Five of the opponent's seven Servants have been defeated, while all seven of ours are alive. The escaped Master is also The capture has been completed, please give instructions.”

What Amakusa said is simply a fantasy. Anyone who hears it will want to laugh, right?However, not long after, vague laughter broke out from the red masters.

Of course, kill, kill, kill.Let us take the head and throw the body to the wild dogs.Internal organs that emit putrid odor are of no use. As long as you have the head, you will get the bounty. "

No one thought about whose head it was, and no one figured out how they defeated the enemy. Indulging in the false victory, Amakusa struck while the iron was hot and said:
"...I know. Having said that, have you considered my suggestion before?"

There was a sudden silence on the other side of the curtain.Unlike the last time when he was loudly rejected, this time there seemed to be more room for consideration.

"We trust you. But there is no need for that. As Masters, we must use those Servants."

"I will take on this task, so there is no need to worry."

"...In this case, it's not necessary, right?"

This question was mixed with feelings that had not been felt until now, and Amakusa did not ignore this.

Timidity, or war weariness, and the comfort of handing over responsibilities to others - "Of course."

After hearing Amakusa's solid words, they secretly whispered to each other across the curtain.The white-haired priest just knelt, waiting for instructions.

"...Forget it, it's still too dangerous. For safety's sake, it's better to spread out."

"understood."

"Just to be on the safe side," they said.After all, it is not something that can be transferred to others.However, that proposal cannot be rejected without reason.Their internal common sense is on the verge of collapse, and they just need to work harder, Amakusa Shiro concluded.

"Then I'll take my leave, and please enjoy your conversation."

After Amakusa bowed, he stood up and left. The Masters hidden behind the curtains immediately started chatting.Even a skilled magician cannot integrate into the world without his human side.They were chatting about magic and life experiences, but they were truly enjoying peace.

...even a false peace steeped in poison and deceit.

No, it would be better to push the situation a little bit... Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, the mastermind behind the scenes, thought this way, and walked towards the door, leaving these masters who were already terminally ill behind.

The Arrogant King's Wine (Sikera Usmu), anti-army Noble Phantasm, grade B+.

The oldest poison killer, Semiramis' second Noble Phantasm can not only give poison attributes to various attacks, but also poison the air and magic power itself. As long as it is a substance that can be called 'poison', This Noble Phantasm can be realized.

——The illusion that makes the masters of the red side fall into delusions and distort their reason and cognition is obviously also a kind of poison.

This Noble Phantasm is one of the reasons why Amakusa summoned Semiramis, and it is also what he relies on as the 'Red Party Leader' to easily order the heroes.

Pushing open the door, the fierce argument suddenly interrupted Amakusa's thinking. He looked forward. His servant, the beautiful empress in a black dress, was standing in front of the door, and she was also wearing a black robe. The young people confronted each other and refused to give in.

Your Excellency Shuoyue?

With an ominous premonition in his heart, Amakusa walked quickly to Semiramis and asked what happened with his eyes.

"Here you are." Semiramis' tense posture relaxed slightly, her eyes still gloomy as she looked at Shuo Yue, "This guy has always wanted to enter the room and take a look."

Enter the room?No, absolutely not.

Immediately, Amakusa understood the reason why Semiramis felt so threatened.

Whether it was the obvious traces of poison in the room, or the additional variable of Shuoyue that would cause the Masters to awaken, or his agility as a representative of the Magic Association, it was decided that this young man would never go beyond this. !
"Sir Shuoyue, I think you also know that it is shameful to break into other people's rooms without permission."

"Oh, is that so?"

Facing the wary Amakusa, the young man responded with an unmoved smile.

"I just want to meet with the members sent by the Magic Association. This kind of thing is not too much, right?"

Did he find it? !
Amakusa was startled in her heart, and subconsciously shook her hand. The church's standard weapon, the 'Black Key', fell into her hand. At the same time, the empress also lowered her hands in cooperation and prepared for the attack.

"How did you know."

"Do you think that the envoys sent by the association will not leave a location token in the hands of the client?"

Saying this, Shuo Yue calmed down the expression on his face, and the gun-shaped general Mo Xie appeared in his hand. With the sound of Qing Yue loading the weapon, the two weapons were immediately aimed at the master and slave pair of Amakusa and Semiramis. .

"Get out of the way, or let me do it myself, deal with you, and then rescue those poor and stupid Masters."

Under Shuo Yue's coercion, the internal battle on the red side is about to break out!
