The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

"Is it something related to King Gilgamesh?"

"Well, after all, it seems that Miss Siduri is very curious about this order. As a feedback for the previous explanation, I will tell you what I know."

Lin Qiao nodded, then cleared his throat and said in a deep voice.

"It is said that in the distant 2k era, a secret battle called the 'Holy Grail War' was taking place in Fuyuki City..."

At the same time, Gilgamesh, who was far away in the palace, shuddered and felt a chill on his back.

-I always feel that someone is saying bad things about me behind my back...Is it an illusion?

Thinking so, King Gilgamesh is still working overtime.

Chapter 633 A world where only Merlin is injured

As Gilgamesh's order was issued, Uruk began to celebrate this hard-won victory.

Although under the pressure brought by the monsters, Mesopotamia is now in a wartime state, and the entire city naturally cannot be played in a big way and just let it go.

But it is still okay to relax and cheer up the citizens - it is better to say that this can release the pressure that people have accumulated in the past six months.

Uruk at night is shrouded in a festive atmosphere.

Music with the characteristics of the Mesopotamian region can be heard in the streets and alleys, and the air seems to be filled with a faint aroma of beer.

Even in the hotel called the "Chaldean Embassy", it is the same.

Whether it is delicious food, the funny tricks of the leopard man and the facial expressions of the feathered serpent god, or the bare-handed skull-smashing kill that gambles on the former's life, the happy atmosphere fills this small hotel before the Common Era.

And Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu are also telling stories about various singularities.

For example, after Lin Qiao's "Singularity F/Z", they met Altria in "Singularity F" again... I thought it was a long-awaited reunion, but the next second the other party started to chop up.

In general, the atmosphere of the scene reached a climax and was full of various joys.

- Although this is only a superficial phenomenon.

Compared to others, Quetzalcoatl was still secretly on guard against Lin Qiao... After all, why would this thing appear on Earth?

But in general, with the support of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu, this big sister still maintained superficial harmony.

Of course, some small episodes were inevitable during the whole process.

"Eh hey hey——!?"

Mashu, Ritsuka and Roman on the other end of the communication all stretched their throats and made unbelievable sounds.

And what appeared in front of them was the picture of Lin Qiao and Merlin standing face to face.

"Wait! If Qiao is here, then Merlin is the real Merlin?"

"It turns out to be Merlin. I thought Qiao was playing some weird Merlin role-playing game before, but I didn't expect it to be real."

"Fu!"

"....."

Just as others were still amazed, a half-nightmare who was once a magician in King Arthur's court had a stiff expression on his face.

"..... Well, if a person is too famous, sometimes there will be some counterfeit products, pretending to be my kind and touching big brother."

"Oh, this is probably the trouble of being a celebrity."

Big Fufu had a far-fetched expression on his face, and laughed dryly to find excuses for himself.

And Dr. Roman, who knew everything about him on the other side of the communication, said "huh".

As for why Fufu, who had seen through everything, did not reveal the news to Mashu and others as before...

As an old acquaintance, if it is said that suffering a loss is a blessing, then Fufu naturally wishes Merlin good fortune like the sea of ​​stars and a long life like fireworks.

Not to mention that although it was unexpected, I, Fufu, just want to see your expression!

"Speaking of which, I was very curious before, why did Qiao call himself Merlin?"

At this time, Ritsuka asked.

And her words also made the scene a little quiet.

Except for the leopard man who was still making a fuss because he couldn't understand the atmosphere, and was punched by Quetzal Coatl and flew two streets away, everyone else focused on Lin Qiao, as if waiting for his answer.

"This... is not a special reason."

Putting down the beer in his hand, Lin Qiao thought for a while and continued.

"It's mainly because it doesn't feel good to use your real name when doing bad things, and if you use other people's names, you will inevitably feel guilty."

"I see..."

The others nodded in approval.

Although it is different from the reasons expected by everyone, this unexpected but also unexpectedly reasonable statement is not a big problem, at least it is still reasonable...

But except for one person who doesn't think so, or it would be more appropriate to use half?

"....."

Looking at Lin Qiao who was getting along happily with others, Merlin's expression was completely frozen.

Good guy, you are worried about causing adverse effects on yourself and others, so you don't have any burden to use my name?

Big brother, have you ignored my opinion so much?

I am still alive!

But unfortunately, no one on the scene cared about Merlin's thoughts - the small inn was filled with a happy atmosphere.

But happy times are always short-lived.

Especially since this is the era before BC, all kinds of entertainment methods are far inferior to those of later generations. It is better to say that in this era where even lighting conditions are quite limited, people's only entertainment method is to have children at night...

Fortunately, Gilgamesh had considered this in the stronghold assigned to Chaldea, so it did not cause too much psychological stimulation to the two minors, Mashu and Ritsuka.

And as the night progressed, the originally lively streets gradually became quiet.

The sun rises and sets, which is the norm for people in this era.

It is quite rare to be able to celebrate so late like this.

"But although it's still early before dawn, it's already this time. Aren't you still going to sleep, Ritsuka?"

At night, sitting on the roof of the hotel with a stack of clay tablets beside him, Lin Qiao looked at Ritsuka Fujimaru who was walking up.

"Although once or twice is nothing, it is undeniable that staying up late is not good for the body."

"And what happened during the day has made you very tired, right? It's better to go and rest early."

Unlike him who had no need for sleep at all and just regarded it as a way to pass the time, the orange-haired girl had a faint look of tiredness on her face.

Obviously, although the Gorgon attack during the day was resolved, physical and mental exhaustion was inevitable.

Faced with Lin Qiao's concern, Li Xiang scratched her head: "Actually, it's about the daytime matter... It's not that the deputy director hates you, and so does Minister Matou..."

"If that's the case, I won't bother you to enlighten me."

"I have a pretty good idea of ​​their situation. It's just that those two guys are not mentally prepared yet."

Lin Qiao smiled, obviously not paying too much attention to what happened during the day.

The only thing that was a little unexpected was that they had already passed several singular points, but the two of them still didn't do a good job in psychological construction...

How guilty are these two guys?

"But when you come to me at this time, you shouldn't just be here to say good things to Kiara and Sakura."

"this...."

Ritsuka looked like "I really can't hide it from you" and laughed dryly.

"How should I put it? I just want to ask about something Shiqiao said to King Gilgamesh during the day..."

"That kind of thing, even if you ask tomorrow morning, I will still answer you. There is no need to waste sleep time."

Despite what she said, the orange-haired girl had no intention of going back to sleep. Instead, she looked at Lin Qiao firmly. The meaning was very obvious.

——If she could, she would want to know now.

Chapter 634 The real enemy

For Ritsuka, who has experienced six singularities, she naturally knows how important information is.

Although she also understood that rushing about some things would be counterproductive and required patience, if possible, she still wanted to get the information in Lin Qiao's hands now.

"I see. It seems that I can't make you go back to sleep until your curiosity is eliminated."

Putting down the clay tablet in his hand, Lin Qiao shook his head as if "I really can't do anything to you."

"So? What is the problem that makes you, the last master of mankind, stay awake at night to come to me... Although I really want to say this, I already know the answer."

"Uh, really...?"

Ritsuka smiled dryly and scratched his orange hair. It felt so good to be able to predict the future.

——If you have this ability, I think the exam should be easy.

But now is not the time to be envious.

"I happened to tell King Gilgamesh before that because of the relationship with the restraint trade, the purpose of your coming to this singularity is to conquer Tiamat, right?"

"Well, that's true. Is there anything unclear about it?"

"No, there is no problem with this... It's just that the target is "Tiamat", not "Gorgon", is that right? "

"It seems that you have noticed some problems with this singularity..."

As Lixiang finished speaking, looking at the solemn expression on her face, Lin Qiao showed an interested look on her face.

And the latter also understood that he seemed to have found the right direction.

However, Lin Qiao did not directly announce the answer.

"Just think of it as a mutual exchange. Tell me, when did you discover this."

"If you really want to talk about this, it will be today."

Ritsuka answered without any hesitation.

Leonidas' revelation of Gorgon's identity is one thing, and the other is that Medusa and Anna have surprisingly consistent appearances with Gorgon.

The latter is still young and is still wrapped in a black cloak. If Medusa's appearance is unrecognizable, he should really dig his eyes out.

Tiamat and Gorgon——

One is the creation mother goddess in Mesopotamian mythology, and the other is the monster and hero killer in Greek mythology.

Although I don’t know how the two were related and what unknown things happened in the middle, there is definitely no equal sign between Gorgon and Tiamat.

And if we follow this logic, then Gorgon calls himself Tiamat, and has the latter's ability to create monsters... This whole series of things is very problematic when you think about it.

"So where do you think the problem lies?"

"This..."

After thinking for a while, Li Xiang answered uncertainly: "Maybe it's Merlin. Although I don't think Merlin has any ill will towards us, the various signs after coming to this singularity show that he did hide quite important clues from us..."

After all, it's hard to think that it's wrong to say "It's the Master's responsibility to protect Merlin"!

"Not bad, although it's still a little short of the fire, but you can deduce to this extent, you are already very close to the truth."

As he said, Lin Qiao clapped his hands.

The next second, Medusa and Anna appeared on the field with confused faces... In order to avoid being caught by Lin Qiao and lifted up high, the latter hid behind Medusa at the first time.

It's obvious that neither of them slept, and from the actions transmitted, they seemed to be eavesdropping on the conversation between Lin Qiao and Li Xiang.

"You two, since you are interested in what is going on and the person you are talking about is the real person, then stop hiding and eavesdropping...Others have already seen through it, so there should be a limit to how much you can deceive yourself."
