My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 680 I am just an ordinary magician, I don't have the same power as you
"This is what happened... This is roughly what happened."

"So, let me summarize. You turned into a dragon and attacked the city of Uruk, causing panic among the people, stalling various projects, and even issuing an emergency evacuation notice... Everything was planned by King Gilgamesh. Hmm, conspiracy? Are you just an ordinary worker?"

"I didn't want this to happen," the young man shrugged, "but there's nothing I can do about it my friend, life is just like that sometimes."

Looking at the innocent-looking Shuoyue, Amakusa was almost laughing out of anger: "I don't believe that King Gilgamesh would use a red dragon that he can't defeat anyway to shake the morale and spirit of the Uruk army. You can't afford to lose in the end, right?"

"What do you mean I can't afford to lose? I didn't lose at all, you're slandering me, Christmas Island Mask!" Shuoyue's eyes widened and he retorted in a loud voice, "If it weren't for that Jin Shanshan chirping in my ear, you wouldn't even have the chance to hurt me in the first place!"

"Why don't you say that the earth's rotation distracted you? And what the hell is the Christmas Island Mask?" Amakusa was also helpless. This guy really hasn't changed at all from then to now.

Fortunately, Ushiwakamaru was adjusting the battle line with Leonidas, otherwise these two competitive guys would definitely have started a fight.

Next to Amakusa, who was in charge of the interrogation, stood three servants: Benkei, Fuma Kotaro and Tomoe Gozen. Among them, Tomoe Gozen had the most complicated expression.

The young man who had once joined forces with her to fight the enemy, beheaded the Scorpion Sage in the northern city, and returned triumphantly with the survivors, but suddenly transformed into a world-destroying red dragon that invaded Uruk. Even if she used her full power to activate her demon bloodline, she could not defeat it.

The scene of swallowing his own treasure in one gulp was enough to shatter Tomoe Gozen's three perspectives.

If Lord Shuoyue had this level of strength, wouldn't it mean that at that time, he had been restraining his strength and actively cooperating with me?
If the young man had not been worried about his teammates being affected, he would have probably swept away all the monsters with the momentum of a whirlwind.

Ahhh... so embarrassing.

The shame she felt belatedly even overshadowed her small complaints against Shuoyue. The silver-haired, red-eyed girl general blushed slightly and quietly walked to a corner, facing the wall to reflect on her mistakes.

Benkei was not familiar with Sakutsuki. He looked up and down from the city wall, chasing the running figure of his lord. Fuma Kotaro was not used to such scenes. He just looked around at Sakutsuki, with a hint of doubt flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Seeing that the servants had nothing to say, Sakutsuki stretched his body, propped himself up with both hands and stood up from the city wall: "Alright, tell Ushiwakamaru and the others not to count the damage to the city wall. We have to tear it all down and rebuild it anyway, so let's just put up with it for one night."

"Start all over again?" Amakusa looked over sharply, "Wait, what did King Gilgamesh tell you?"

"A capital city that needs to be rebuilt, an emperor eager to recruit talented people, and a magician who can do almost anything except give birth to children..." Shuoyue moved his arms with a leisurely look, "When these three things collide, guess what interesting things will happen?"

Without waiting for others to reply, the young man turned around and walked towards the royal castle with ease. Tomoe Gozen, Fuma Kotaro, and Benkei looked at each other and then looked at Amakusa.

"I think Uruk is doomed... He should hurry back to the Throne of Heroes, or find a chance to steal the King's Holy Grail..."

After mumbling a few words, Amakusa raised his voice helplessly: "There is no other way. Let's go to the throne and see what King Gilgamesh is up to."

----

It was a sunny morning, and the soft sunlight painted the quiet palace into a brilliant golden color.

Like fragments of light, the dust particles danced in the room, ethereal and sacred.

It is as empty as a temple in the underworld, yet it does not seem desolate.

If you were to ask why, the gentle scolding voice of a woman was slowly filling the palace.

"My king, can you please not do this next time? Do you know what will become of Uruk after you leave? Not only the people, but even the soldiers will be too sad to hold their weapons."

"Moreover, you actually allowed the red dragon to attack the city just because you were unhappy for a moment. Even if you are willful, there must be a limit. I thought you had restrained your temper after failing to find the elixir of immortality, but now, I need to consider inviting the priests who preached the scriptures back to educate you again."

"No... Please spare me this one, Siduri. You should know that those scholars have more important duties to do besides gossiping."

Just like the myth of Pygmalion, the king, who was just a handsome sculpture a few minutes ago, woke up from his deep sleep. As he opened his scarlet snake eyes, the entire palace seemed to have a soul, and even the magnificent murals were flowing with joy in their colors.

The king of Uruk has awakened from the underworld.

He did not dare to argue with Siduri for even a moment. When his followers arrived, the wise king immediately turned his attention to them. As soon as he opened his mouth, he started to scold them.

"That's really outrageous of you! I allowed you to visit Uruk, not to let you travel with a clear conscience. Are your brains broken like Berserker's?"

"It's just a red dragon! I gave you freedom, power and soldiers, and even entrusted my future to you - I don't want to see you helpless!"

Facing the king's rebuke, the servants lowered their eyes and did not refute.

It was not because he was the Master or any other superficial reason, nor was there any thought of quibbling. As generals guarding Uruk, they failed to stop the attack of the Red Dragon New Moon - this was an indisputable fact.

If you lose, you must admit it; if you get beaten, you must stand at attention.

The pride of being a hero is not something they can use to reject the truth.

but--

"But! You also did a great job!" The wise king changed the subject before they could speak. "Even though your enemy is the pinnacle of fantasy species, the red dragon that only exists in legends, and at the same time a priest of the underworld, a magician with dragon blood flowing in his body - even though he was defeated by him with his extraordinary power in the end, you still offered a wonderful battle for Uruk!"

"You have overcome fear and the unknown, and bravely raised your swords to face the enemy! This alone is enough to prove that the spirit of Uruk has never been extinguished, even if you were defeated by despicable means!"

"Hey, isn't that too much? Why do you have to diss me for every sentence?" The heroes' expressions eased a little, but Shuoyue was dissatisfied, "This is outside my scope of responsibility, right? I can't bear to be asked to destroy Uruk or something, okay?"

You just acted like the destruction of the world had nothing to do with me, right?
Amakusa really wanted to complain, but he held it back. Putting aside personal grudges, he was actually very happy that Shuoyue had joined.

"After all, if Shuoyue helps in the battle, the pressure on the battlefield will be much less."

The saint whose fifty-year-old plan was overturned by someone from the Assassin agency has a say in this.

"Yes, if it is Lord Shuoyue, it will definitely become the most indestructible barrier in Uruk!"

Tomoe Gozen's eyes lit up too. She was the one who wanted Sakutsuki to join the most. Even though she had been rejected before, she finally got what she wanted after many twists and turns.

"Sure enough, Lord Shuoyue still cares about the innocent people of Uruk!"

"Hmm... You two actually agree so much." Benkei looked at Amakusa, then at Tomoe Gozen, and finally his gaze fell on Sakutsuki. He couldn't help but shudder, "But it's true. After all, he was the man who almost broke down Uruk's defenses by showing his red dragon form."

"I also support Lord Sakutsuki's joining." Even Fuma Kotaro said so. "Compared to me who can only conduct reconnaissance and assassination, Lord Sakutsuki's combat power is what Uruk needs most at the moment."

Although the servants expressed different opinions, they all came to the same conclusion in the end.

Rather than a welcome, it would be more accurate to say that Uruk is longing for Shuo Yue to join.

However, facing the expectations of the Servants, the young man responded:

"Eh? I don't think I told you that I'm in the support position, right?"

Facing the stunned looks of the servants, Shuo Yue smiled and said:

"I am just an ordinary magician. I don't have the same power as you. I am just here to help with the construction of Uruk City. Besides."

He paused and gave a small reply to the wise king on the throne.

"Even if I am willing to help, the one sitting up there can't afford to hire me."
