My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 682 Who do you think I am?

Since the king has given the order, there is no reason not to obey.

Under the curious or friendly gazes of the citizens, four people in strange costumes met at the gate of the palace and then walked side by side on the street.

“Mmmmm…”

The girl with long braids and wearing martial arts uniform has been staring at the young man with white hair and golden eyes since the moment they met, puffing up her little face and unable to hide her fighting spirit.

She always felt bad about not being able to chop off the red dragon's head, and thought it was a big stain on her current life.

"But you can't be like a child and have your emotions written all over your face, right? You're so childish. We're colleagues from now on, right? You should take your work seriously."

"This... Lord Shuoyue, it seems inappropriate for you to say this, right?"

"Hmm?" Shuoyue looked up in confusion, with the sweet honey cake still on the corner of her mouth. Her left hand held the wine glass, and the amber wine rippled with it. "What's wrong?"

Seeing the young man's unconscious look, not only Benkei, but even Tomoe Gozen twitched their lips, looking at Sakutsuki who looked more like he was out shopping than working.

Why didn’t I realize before that Lord Shuoyue is such a relaxed person?
As if he had misunderstood their expressions, Shuoyue thought for a moment, smiled brightly, and took a handful of sweet dates from his pocket: "Do you want to eat?"

"Thank you, but thanks..." Benkei waved his hand subconsciously, but then he heard a voice beside him.

"Give me!"

The girl's movements were so fast that even Sakutsuki was stunned for a moment. When he reacted, all the dates he had exchanged from the roadside vendor fell into Ushiwakamaru's hands.

"Lord?" Benkei asked in confusion, while Ushiwakamaru proudly fiddled with the candied dates he had snatched, then picked up one and put it in his mouth. After chewing for a while, his eyes lit up slightly.

"It's delicious. You have good taste, Red Dragon!" After taking two bites, the girl swallowed the date pit and looked at the puzzled young man and said seriously, "Since you apologized, I will forgive you!"

"...Red Dragon?" Shuoyue repeated these two words in disbelief.

"You are right. Since it is the order of the wise king, I should obey it." Ushiwakamaru threw another candied date into his mouth. With a crunch, the juice overflowed. "Since this is a battlefield, all personal relationships should be put aside. I, Ushiwakamaru, will do my best to assist you, but--"

The girl's face was bright, but when she looked across her eyes, a sharp look emerged.

"When I am free, I, Ushiwakamaru, will come forward with my sword in hand and ask for your advice again!"

Following her declaration, the famous sword Bo Lu hanging on her waist began to hum, full of fighting spirit.

And after being stunned, Shuoyue's eyes showed a hint of smile.

He just likes this aspect of heroes: they are straightforward and honest, and even when they have a disagreement they still act heroically and never drag their feet.

Besides, who wouldn’t want to experience the story of King Chana’s wanderings?
"Okay, I'm always ready to challenge you...By the way, do you want figs? I bought a few from the merchant."

"Oh, thank you so much!"

Tomoe Gozen was stunned. He looked at the two people who were at loggerheads a few seconds ago, now chatting and laughing while sharing snacks. He began to doubt from the bottom of his heart whether he was too old and couldn't keep up with the times... And Benkei had to get used to his lord's roughness. He opened his mouth and changed the advice that was about to come out of his mouth:

"My Lord...don't forget to leave some for me!"

"No, hehehe."

While playing, the four of them moved quickly and arrived at the central square of Uruk in a flash.

There were many people coming and going in the square, but it did not seem crowded. Unlike the citizens of Uruk who lived and worked in peace and contentment, the people settled here were refugees from other cities. Although they were not starving or freezing and could live in thatched huts under the order of the wise king, they had experienced the invasion of monsters and were displaced, and it was still difficult to conceal their mental depression.

When you look around, you can feel the dead air spreading in the square.

Tomoe Gozen couldn't bear such a scene: "Lord Shuoyue, what should we do?"

"Don't get the point wrong, General Ba." Shuoyue ate the fruit by himself, calm as ever, "We are not here for a momentary kindness, but for a longer-term plan."

Because they couldn't bear to see the miserable plight of the victims, they sent cartloads of fruits and vegetables, held their thin hands, and comforted their weary souls with complete sympathy.

and then?
Fruits and vegetables will be eaten up, and compassion will be consumed.

But time still pushes people forward, and in the torrent, those who cannot stand firmly will be washed away.

"They can only save themselves, and we can only let them find a way out with their own hands." As he said this, Shuoyue's eyes flickered slightly, and with the power of the third law, he saw the gray hidden in people's souls.

It is fear, confusion, and panic about not knowing what to do in the future.

But as long as you peel off the gray shell, you can see the star-like light twinkling inside.

That is hope, something that everyone has. You don't need others to give it to you. You just need to look within to get this light.

“This is what we should do.”

Afternoon tea time was over and the short spring outing also came to an end. Benkei, Tomoe Gozen and Ushiwakamaru clearly felt that the young man next to them had restrained his laxity. When those pupils were filled with platinum-colored light, his demeanor was almost identical to that of a wise king, causing the people around them to lower their eyes in awe.

One would almost think that it was the monarch of Uruk himself.

"Ushiwakamaru, Benkei." "Ah...here!"

"Gather all the refugees in the square, gather them together, and use these anchors to mark their range."

"Yes!"

"Tomoe Gozen."

"exist."

"You are responsible for calming the people's emotions."

"Eh... me?" The silver-haired, red-eyed general subconsciously raised her hand to her forehead, and then realized that she had not activated the demon blood. "But, Tomoe is not good at this kind of thing..."

"That's fine." Sakutsuki looked at Ushiwakamaru and Benkei's departing figures, and his tone was slightly joking. "It's better than this master and servant who only think about beheading and can only make black jokes."

Tomoe Gozen thought about it and couldn't help but smile: "I see, it seems that I, a ghost, will have to take over."

"Well, please."

The girl chuckled and nodded: "It's okay, but Lord Shuoyue, since you plan to rebuild the battle city, how do you plan to do it?"

Simply gather the people together, then tear down the makeshift thatched houses, and rebuild the streets and houses bit by bit?

But how big was Uruk? Even the square that accommodated thousands of refugees was just a tiny part.

How much time would it take to do it this way?

"You don't think I would do that, do you?" Sakutsuki saw Tomoe Gozen's thoughts at a glance and couldn't help laughing: "The third magician, the miracle worker who controls the three major magics, would actually be like an ordinary person, honestly building walls and tall buildings?"

Tomoe Gozen also knew that her worries were unnecessary, and her fair face turned red: "Sorry, Tomoe was worrying too much..."

"It's normal for you to think so. After all, most of the skills that Servants possess are used in combat. It's fine for fighting on the battlefield, but after retreating from the killing field, it's easy to become at a loss."

Shuoyue was about to explain a few more words when he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the crowd.

"Let me go, you bastard, what are you trying to do? Don't point that knife of yours at me!"

Before Shuoyue could react to whose voice it was, he saw a burst of raging flames erupting in the center of the crowd.

"You forced me to do this! Rush, the fire of the bush! Rashomon is full of resentment!"

Amid the screams of the people, the flames condensed into ferocious giant claws, covering the sky, as if the sun had become its fuel, almost turning into a burning Five Finger Mountain, enveloping the gathered people.

It’s about to fall!
"Oh no, how dare that guy!" Tomoe Gozen's pretty face turned pale in an instant. She already knew the identity of the person who was shouting, and she was also extremely aware of what terrible things would happen if that guy and Ushiwakamaru got together.

No, it should be said that it has already happened.

"That Berserker actually released his Noble Phantasm among the crowd!"

Tomoe Gozen was extremely anxious, because that was a Noble Phantasm, the winning trump card of a Servant. Not to mention that it was a Berserker's Noble Phantasm with a very large range.

If it really falls... everyone will die!

Not only the innocent people, but also their followers will not be able to escape blame!
But it's too late!
There is no way that Ushiwakamaru and Benkei would release their treasures, otherwise the energy collision would kill a large number of people. Moreover, they do not possess the power to offset this threat!

How to do how to do? !

Anxiety and fear intertwined in his eyes and finally turned into determination. Tomoe Gozen took a deep breath, and a barely detectable golden spirit rose from his body. His body tensed like a female leopard, and he was about to rush forward.

But before that, a hand grabbed her shoulder.

"Where do you want to go?" The young man's voice sounded, and then Tomoe Gozen was shocked to find that his spiritual base, which had collapsed on its own initiative, instantly recovered to its original state, and the accumulated power was completely dissipated.

Anxious, the girl turned her head to look at Shuoyue, her eyes like candles: "Sir, the only way now is to let Ba sacrifice himself to save them, and only Ba can save them!"

"I said, what do you think of me? Just a more powerful servant?" Shuoyue didn't look at her, but stared at the giant ghost fire claw that was constantly expanding in the air, his eyes deep.

"If that's all, then you're looking down on me."

Facing the oncoming wave of fire, Shuoyue raised his hand without changing his expression and locked onto the demonic shadow that was powerful enough to destroy the entire square.

Open your hands, then clench them.

"Great Magic: Replacement."

There was no destruction, nor death. As everyone watched in disbelief, a deep blue crack appeared in the air. It rose from the bottom to the top like a brand new sky, swallowing up the Berserker's treasure.

Then, the sea will be peaceful and the river will be prosperous.

——It was as if there had never been any danger.
