My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 525 Assassin Shuo Yue’s sense of oppression

Shuoyue left, and the empress leaned on the throne, turning to look at Amakusa, who was frowning in thought.

"Hey, you agreed to Shuo Yue's alliance request so easily?"

After Sakuyue revealed the third magic, Amakusa nodded and agreed to cooperate without much hesitation - the third magic did have such energy, but in Semiramis' view, Amakusa would not do it anyway. Just get carried away.

Faced with the empress' secret concern, the young priest chuckled and said instead:

"Don't be fooled Assassin. Since Shuo Yue chose the bright card, the situation of this Holy Grail War has become a melee between the three parties. It should have been our chance to defeat the strong with the weak, not to mention the blue and black sides. The combat power is not even close."

"On par? But Achilles and Karna..."

"It is true that Black has the advantage in terms of numbers, but don't forget that Rider, Lancer, and Archer's masters are all dead, and Lancer Karna has lost his immortality. They can continue to survive with the help of their spiritual veins, and they can still play How much power does it produce?" Amakusa analyzed, "On the other hand, the blue side now has King Arthur of Britain, Siegfried the dragon slayer of the Netherlands, Avis Bronn, the creator of Kabbalah magic, and killed the Royal The mysterious servant of the Lord, and...Shuoyue."

Only Sakusuki and Amakusa did not add any prefixes. The name itself was a threat that could not be ignored in this Holy Grail War.

Kill Frankenstein, kill Flanders III and the leader of Thousand World Tree, Danik, kill the Master, take away the Holy Grail, stir up chaos on the red side, and now plot a secret conspiracy on the black side. .

If Shuo Yue hadn't been afraid of the judge or for some other reason, and finally decided to take to the stage, Black and Red would probably have been kept in the dark until death. Such an enemy... is really terrifying.

If Shuo Yue had been prepared, he would have spoken out his wishes endlessly. Even if he was caught off guard, with his strategy, he would have been able to fool him by stating specious ideals.

[Oh, let me tell you. The faction I belong to is Rainbow Blue, my job description is Assassin, and my real name is Shuo Yue. Thank you for your help. Please allow me to retire first. 】

——It was obviously a vague and cryptic answer, but Amakusa Shiro was convinced at this moment that Sakuzuki was not lying.

"It's not an alliance, it's just an exchange of information with members who once belonged to the red side."

But the young man was silent, and after a while, Amakusa heard his voice.

"Have you ever thought that this is a lie made by that guy, a trap set to deceive you?"

"No, it won't be, Assassin." Thinking of the young man's eyes at that time, the white-haired priest and the saint from the far east laughed from the bottom of his heart, "That must be Shuo Yue's true words, I am so She believed in him—as if she believed in her own path."

Only heroes who truly want to save the world and realize human relief will hesitate at the most critical moment, hesitating again and again, lest they cause all mankind to bear losses due to their own faults.

"Exchanging information?"

After a pause, Amakusa continued: "What's more, Sakuyue's purpose is the same as mine. This is the reason why I chose to cooperate with him."

The memory of the recent past is still clear. The young man holding the miracle looked at Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, who was known as the 'Miracle Son', and spoke so frankly.

[If the great source of a world has been exhausted, then can we use the Holy Grail and the royal power on the moon... No, it's nothing. 】

"Yes, for you, he and I are both unreasonable beings." Amakusa blinked and suddenly said, "By the way, you gave the communication technique to Karna, right? It just happened. , help me contact Black."

"Well, I want to know more about Shuo Yue's existence before the decisive battle." Feeling the warning in his mind, Amakusa nodded without changing his expression.

"???" Semiramis said in surprise as he unfolded the technique, "Didn't you decide to form an alliance with Shuo Yue... and Lan Fang? You tried to take both sides in front of the sage of the forest, but... It will be a huge loss."

However, out of the priest's obsession, or some kind of subtle comparison mentality, Amakusa asked a question:

[So, what does your ideal world look like? 】

After the memory ended, the empress looked at Amakusa's relaxed face and said with a wry smile, "I really didn't expect that in a Holy Grail War, I would see two ridiculous lunatics at the same time."

[That’s good, I promise you, Shuo Yue, let us both fight together. At the end... can you tell me your real name? 】

[Our purpose is the same, Amakusa, you participated in this war for the relief of all mankind and to lift mankind to the height of eternity; as for me, I also chose to stand here in order to redeem the world—— It makes no difference between you and me who uses the Holy Grail. No matter what, I will record the data of this feat. 】

To be fair, the conditions proposed by Shuo Yue as the stronger party are too generous. As long as Amakusa nods, he can get help from Blue Fang for free without paying any price.

[It’s okay if you don’t believe what I say, but compared to our ambitions, Black’s desire to seize the Holy Grail seems out of place, right? How about we work together to exclude them and then consider fighting each other? 】

Few people know that Amakusa, as a saint from the far east and a hero who came as a judge, also possesses an inherent skill called "Revelation", and like Joan of Arc, her level is as high as A-level.

It's just that (in my opinion) it's baseless, so I can't explain it to others properly. In the original work, this ability was not described in great detail, so even Shuo Yue subconsciously ignored the power of this ability.

But for the confusing Lan Fang and Shuo Yue himself, this skill is an unreasonable and excellent winner. Amakusa was secretly surprised by the results deduced based on intuition regardless of logic.

That young man would actually destroy 'this' world before saving it...? !

Considering that Shuo Yue showed no abnormality and the results of the revelation were too vague, Amakusa did not give up cooperation with Lan Fang, but he also retained a hand and set up insurance in disguise by leaking intelligence.

But at the moment when the technique was switched on, Amakusa suddenly thought of a question.

With Shuo Yue's strong character, if he wanted to negotiate with him, he should have blocked all his paths and left him with only cooperation - as if he had used some unknown means to kill the Master and force him to Contrary to Achilles and others, they are irreversible, even if the murderer is found out, it will not help.

With his advantage of lurking in the dark, even if the red side discovers the abnormality of the sixth leader Lingxia, they are still unable to conclude that he is the mastermind. In this case, Shuo Yue can completely sit back and reap the benefits, or even take the initiative to create opportunities to seize chestnuts from the fire... Why does his action this time feel like he is deliberately letting go of water?

It's a pity that Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, this too noble saint, still doesn't understand Sakatsuki well enough. If Arturia puts herself in his position, she will immediately understand that what Amakusa thinks Sakusuki is deliberately letting go is actually another kind. Way of address——

That is condescending arrogance.

----

After finishing the meeting with the red side and successfully signing the alliance, Sakutue said goodbye to Reika, Artoria and others, and returned to the black side's Mirenia Fortress.

In any case, on the surface he is still a servant who defected to Black. What's more, after defeating Red, he should also check what kind of fruits he planted in Black.

"Lord Sakutsuki."

"Hello, Lord Shuoyue."

"Lord Shuoyue..."

Walking in the corridor, the androids passing by stopped in unison and greeted the mentor of the android hero, the hero who redeemed them. Shuoyue returned the greetings one by one, then arrived at the destination and knocked on the door. .

"Are you there, Sieg? I have something to talk to you about."

"Teacher? Wait a moment, I'm coming."

The door opened, and Sakuyue glanced past the somewhat excited android girl and glanced into the door.

I didn't notice Astolfo's aura, which was good. It seemed that I didn't need to take Sieg to the courtyard to have a private chat.

"Please come in, teacher, what can you do?"

"Well, it's about tomorrow's decisive battle..."

The door was closed, and the figures and conversations between the two people disappeared. On the opposite side of the room, another door closed quietly.

In the room opposite to Sieg's room, a tall and handsome warrior turned around with a solemn expression.

"Shuoyue is back and he entered Qie Ge's house."

"Well, judging from the conversation, he probably wants to get Sieg's help. If Sieg agrees, it means that the Black Rider will also switch sides."

The son of the Sun God, Karna leaned against the wall, thoughtful, and suddenly looked up at the forest sage sitting cross-legged on the bed, exuding a natural and gentle aura.

His name is Chiron, Achilles' mentor, Black's absolute strategist and navigator. After finding the real culprit in the case in the Sky Garden and returning, Achilles and Karna immediately approached the sage for guidance, and received a summons from Amakusa before discovering Sakutsu.

In other words, they already understood that the mysterious assassin in the Holy Grail War was lurking behind the scenes.

"What do you think? Black's Archer."

Under Achilles' expectant gaze, Chiron did not disappoint him. He just pondered for a while and then gave his answer:

"If the information about Amakusa, the priest on the red side, is accurate, I'm afraid that the events from the birth of this artificial man, including the time when he contracted Rider during his escape, and finally returned to the black side and liberated the artificial man, were all events of Sakutsuki. Planned by one hand."

"But, this sounds like a good thing. Helping artificial humans gain freedom or something...is there any problem?" Achilles was puzzled. In response, Chiron sighed:

"This is the smartest thing about Shuo Yue. His behavior of weakening Black has become an irresistible conspiracy."

Achilles was still a little confused, but Karna understood something and took the initiative to explain:

"Due to the awakening of the artificial man's consciousness, Thousand Worlds Tree cannot instruct the artificial man to go to the battlefield at will. Instead, it must control the number of sacrifices. However, the Dragon Tooth Soldiers made by the Empress of the Red Side are almost infinite. This means that in a head-on war, the Black Side In bad situation."

"Not only that, the battery system made by Master Gold also requires the sacrifice of the androids." Chiron added, "But now that Sieg is also on the black side, do you think she will allow the servants to squander magic power and consume the androids life?"

"Not to mention, compared to Black, Shuo Yue's kindness is obviously heavier. Although Sieg holds Black's servants, there is a possibility of rebellion at any time. Even if he continues to stay with Black, he will have to suffer unnecessary Once there is a conflict, the newly eased conflicts between artificial humans will intensify again."

Karna and Chiron exchanged words with each other, leaving Achilles speechless. Although he was straightforward, he was not an idiot who did not understand the current situation. But it was precisely because he understood the horror of Shuo Yue's plan that the great hero doubted his life.

You know, when Shuo Yue was still on the red side, he naively thought that Shuo Yue was just a stronger servant, with better cooking skills and more flexible brains. Compared to him, Achilles, he still had some abilities. disparity.

But even if he tried hard, he wouldn't be able to come up with such a plan that would cover thousands of miles!

"One... one arrow and three eagles? Such a powerful guy is almost as powerful as Odysseus... no, even more powerful than him. I really want him to compete with Odysseus on the battlefield. Let's see. Which one is more powerful..."

"Is now the time to say this, Achilles?" Chiron reminded with a serious look:

"You must know that this assassin, who is both civil and military, is our enemy."
