  Chapter 838 The Glory of Heroes and the Choice of Saintess   For the desire for survival displayed by artificial humans, Lucia is completely indifferent.

Survival is the instinct of all living things. There are billions of human beings in the world, plus trillions of animals and Insects. Ninety-nine percent of them don’t want to die. How many of the world’s lives can want to die?

It's not wrong not to want to die, but unfortunately, Lucia never asks if he wants to die, and kills if he wants to kill.

Since he was a killer, he has a lot of lives in his hands, but he has never left his hands once. It doesn’t matter whether he is good or bad, he doesn’t ask about his difficulties. As long as he thinks he needs to be killed, he kills. No matter how you don't want to die, it has nothing to do with him.

In view of this, Lucia had to knock the artificial human out without the slightest hesitation.

"Slow...slow!"

After the robot was hit in the back of the head and passed out, Astorfo, kicked out by Lucia, struggled to get up. , Although his face was blue, he still stood in front of Lucia stubbornly.

"You...cough cough, there's no such thing as...cough ha, the glory of a hero!"

He stood up with the root of the broken tree on the side and turned towards Lucia questioned loudly.

"If you are also a hero, don't you understand? Helping others, punishing the strong and helping the weak, and helping those who need help. This is not as it should be by rights for the hero. Is it!"

Being indifferent to Lucia and even doing it the other way around, he was obviously quite incomprehensible and angry.

"Do I look like a good person?"

Lucia lifted up the collar of the robot, then looked towards Astorford, "Unfortunately, I It's not a hero, and the so-called glory of a hero in your mouth refers to the generosity of others?"

"Huh?"

Astorford was taken aback for a moment. , His face was unclear.

"This man-made man was made by the Yugdomirenia clan. In other words, it is the property of this clan. It is true that he was born of self, but his life is given by this clan. Yes, as their biological parents, can't this clan ask for contributions from him?"

The expression on Lucia's face remained unshakable, and his eyes looked flatly at Astorfo.

"And your behavior as a hero is to take away the property of this clan without the consent of your master, and release it from life. It is called your glory as a hero— —At least in their eyes."

It has nothing to do with ideas, it's just an ethical view that's all. In the eyes of a magician, this seemingly inhuman thought and style is actually Shang is the mainstream.

"This..."

Astorford suddenly didn't know how to refute it.

From his own point of view, he did help the life in need, but from the perspective of the Yugdomirenia clan, he is undoubtedly the thief who robbed his own property. .

"Not only that, if this clan really wants to get this man-made, it’s useless to take him wherever you go. It will definitely be retrieved by this clan afterwards, and then continue to be consumed. It may even involve innocent people on the way."

Lucia came to Astorfo’s face with the artificial human, her face still cold.

"If you really want to save someone, what you should do is not to take him out, but to negotiate with Dane to turn this artificial person into your own possession, and then do you want to release it or not? No one will stop you."

"..."

Astorfo was dumbfounded immediately, unable to say a word.

Although his rationality has evaporated, he is only too emotional to think about the consequences, but it is not because he has lost the ability to think.

He disagrees with Lucia's previous statement, but in the latter half of the passage, he also has to admit that what he said makes sense.

Although Lucia saw him in his eyes, he only saw the word "idiot".

"But, what should I do to make this child my possession...Wait, what are you doing?!"

Astorford is thinking Then, suddenly cried out in surprise, watching Lucia's hand stretched out with a look of alertness.

"Bang!"

Lucia ignored his vigilance, extended the hand with lightning speed, knocked a knife on his head, making him suddenly His eyes turned white, and after the cyborg, he passed out and was caught by the collar by Lucia's old tricks.

"What are you doing with me?"

Immediately, Lucia turned around and looked behind her.

Under the moonlight.

The girl with a banner in her hand walked out of the forest.

The bright moonlight shines on her body, making her look pure as the Goddess of the moon, and the whole body is full of holy radiance.

This girl, surprisingly, came to Saintess Joan with Lucia.

"Sorry, I just care a little."

Joan apologized to Lucia, and then a little helplessness appeared on her face.

"To be honest, when I saw the humanoids in the castle, I had the idea to rescue them from the Sea of ​​Bitterness, but I didn’t put them into action after all, so I heard about the black Rider’s I was very surprised when I did what I did, so I came to have a look."

After all, it is Saintess. Seeing the hardship of the artificial people, it is also as it should be by rights to want to help.

It’s just that because she still has a brain and her brain is still sensible, she didn’t really do that kind of thing, but she didn’t do it when she heard that Astorford did it. After the incident, I will naturally become very concerned about it.

"Please rest assured, I won't stop you."

Under Lucia's gaze, Jeanne shook the head, "I do hope that child can escape here. But I will not shoot for him. This may also be some kind of sad luck... I am only a follower, only to protect the fairness of the Holy Grail War, and will swing my sword, and will abide by modern rules."

" That's fine."

Lucia took a look at Joan, then turned around, took Astorfo and the cyborg in her hands, and then jumped up towards the direction of the castle. Hurried away.

"Oh."

Jeanne was long sighed, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

She does have the idea of ​​saving people, but it is just an idea, and this idea is obviously contrary to her duty of guarding the fairness of the Holy Grail war.

That artificial man is innocent, and everyone knows it.

But it is clear that the reality is that a trade-off must be made.

In the end, between the cyborg and the rules of the Holy Grail War, she chose to abide by the rules and not protect the innocent cyborg.

Just like back then, she chose to defend France on the battlefield of the Hundred Years' War between England and France, while swinging a butcher knife on English soldiers.

For this Holy Grail War, fairness is above everything else. She must give up other things to guard.

Joan turned around, not towards Mirenia, but towards the town of Tulifas at the bottom of the mountain.

She will not try to save people, but she will engrave this incident as a regret in the heart.

Thank you Zhongtian Arctic Ziwei Star for your reward! There are still two shifts today, and his head is still a little groggy, and three shifts should resume tomorrow.
