There was a creaking sound in his ears, and the dull sound of heavy objects stepping on the grass echoed in the empty forest. Gold watched in amazement as Saber walked back to him with a sullen face, but the sword in her hand was still tightly grasped, standing quietly beside Gold like a stone statue.

Gold watched Saber approach him step by step. The astonishment on his face had not yet completely disappeared. He was wondering why Saber was so obedient today when Saber's voice suddenly came from the causal line:

"I don't understand why you want to show off in front of that person, but I understand your feelings."

A trace of warmth rose in his heart, and the corners of his eyes were a little sour. Realizing that he was different, Gold snorted to cover up his loss of composure, but was afraid that he would be looked down upon, so he replied unwillingly:

"Just a Saber."

"After defeating the Red side in the civil war, I will be the first to attack Rider."

Saber's reply was just as quick, and Gold's tears were all held back before he could even finish two seconds of being moved by Minechelle's words.

——This is indeed normal.

Gold thought about it and agreed readily.

At this time, Danic and the other servants surrounding Danic slowly approached, and the puppet warhorse ridden by Lancer quickly attracted Menechel's attention.

"Gold, didn't I ask you to take Saber to recuperate?"

Just by getting close, Danic could smell the thick smell of blood in the air. Danic frowned and said, "You are not needed here."

Gold seemed to be hesitant to speak. He opened his mouth several times to defend himself but nothing came out. Finally, he lowered his head in annoyance and quietly accepted Danik's scolding.

"We didn't come here on our own initiative." Menechel couldn't bear to see Gold's cowardly attitude. He stepped forward and stood in front of Gold. "My Master and I happened to run into the fleeing androids on our way back. They were worried that their whereabouts would be exposed. Seeing that I was seriously injured at the time, they wanted to kill me to silence me. It was only natural that they were subdued by me."

"You bullshit!"

Almost as soon as Menechelle finished speaking, Rider at the side could not wait to refute. There were still traces of blood in the corners of his eyes, as if he had just cried, which was very unpleasant: "It was you who showed up unreasonably and wanted to..."

“Shut up! Rider! Aren’t you ashamed enough?” Rider’s Master Serenika rudely interrupted her servant’s speech. A terrifying light flashed in her eyes and a cruel look appeared on her face.

She was the only Master who followed Danic here, and Rider's defection must have caused her a lot of trouble. She snapped her fingers, and the black forbidden spell climbed up Rider's face and covered his mouth. It was a magic that Rider could break free if he opened his mouth slightly, but Rider did not do so. He just looked at Ruler who was standing beside him for help.

And Ruler did respond to Rider’s expectations. The Saint took a half step forward and was about to speak when she heard the sarcastic voice of Black Saber: “Ruler, as a neutral mediator, you should not speak out something that you have not seen and are only imagining as a fact just because of your own preferences, right?”

The words on Ruler's lips paused as she recalled the scene when she arrived at the scene - she did not witness the outbreak of the conflict with her own eyes.

Although her intuition told her that Saber must be making it up, her duty as Ruler forced her to tell the truth: "When I arrived, I only saw the two black servants fighting each other. As for who started the fight first, I didn't see it."

Ruler's words made Menechel curl his lips. He deliberately dismantled his armor to show the hideous bloody hole in his chest to everyone. Danic ignored Saber. Since he learned that Saber's real name was the notorious villain knight in the legend, he would not trust the other party's words.

He fixed his eyes on Gold: "Gold, what happened?"

Two gazes were cast at the same time, and finally Gold gritted his teeth and responded under the constant persuasion of Menachere on the causal line: "It is indeed as Saber said."

Menechel looked at Gold with a look of relief. He turned to Danic with a proud attitude of "two to one, you know who to trust now", but Danic respectfully stepped aside. Lancer, who had remained silent, rode his high-legged puppet horse slowly to the front of the entire team. He looked at Ruler and said, "Ruler, I heard from Saber that you were attacked by a red Servant. As a believer in God, I would like to invite you to stay in my territory for a while to avoid being harassed by the red scum in the future."

"No, in order to ensure the fairness of the Holy Grail War, I will not favor any side, nor will I stay in the base of any side. Thank you for your kindness, Black Lancer, but I still have to answer like this." Ruler's answer was righteous and stern. Lancer just frowned slightly when he saw this.

"I see."

Lancer did not continue to persuade. He readily gave up the idea of ​​persuading Ruler. Lancer turned his attention back to the android that Ruler and Rider had been protecting from the beginning.

"It's just that Ruler, I have to reclaim that thing."

"Excuse me, even if they are artificial humans, they should not become victims of a war that has nothing to do with them from the moment they are born."

Lancer's frown deepened, but Ruler still stood firm, holding the flagpole and standing in front of the android.

"Is that so? Then let's end this meeting here."

Lancer closed his eyes and gave in. He turned his horse around and headed towards his castle.

Serenike also ordered her servants to leave in a harsh tone.

Rider stood up with a silly smile and turned around to look back at Ruler and the android. Ruler couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter was finally coming to an end.

In the long-lost relaxing atmosphere, a chill suddenly shot up from her spine, and a cold light suddenly flashed in her peripheral vision.

The sword was swift, and the dragon sword, stained with countless blood, did not drag at all, and slashed down with an arc that had been experienced hundreds or thousands of times.

Something warm splashed on Ruler's face. Then the artificial head that had been thrown high in the air rolled down to the ground.

Blood dripped down Ruler's delicate face onto her hands. The saint stared blankly at the headless corpse that slowly fell to the side under the treetop, and the unruly knight with blood on his sword.

The knight noticed Ruler's gaze, and he grinned at the Saint, his smile full of mockery. Unlike the exaggeratedly large sword, the other party's voice was very soft. Amid the noisy cries of Black Rider, it was as if he was whispering in Ruler's ear. Ruler heard clearly what Black Saber said:

"Now you can take his soul."

"Besides, there are more than one android like him in Yugdomireia. If you can save him, please save him for me."

Actually, I expected Sieg to die in another way. That is, when the red team and the black team were fighting, Sieg sneaked into the black team's castle and released all the androids to start an uprising. When they were halfway through being beaten, the enraged Mina, who had no magic left, rushed back and chopped them into pieces. But I was afraid that it would not pass the review and that some people could not wait.

Chapter 159 Gold: He Can Replace Me

Inside the room, Minashel lay on his side on the sofa, supporting his head with one hand and fiddling with the fruits on the plate with the other hand, but he was slow to pick out any.

The door was pushed open, and Gold walked into his room with heavy steps. He immediately spotted Saber occupying her own exclusive seat.

Perhaps because he could not find the fruit that suited his taste, Minechel raised his head slightly and looked at Gold who was standing motionless at the door.

"Isn't this Gold? Come in, don't be polite, how about having some fruit."

"Thank you..." Gold was so frightened by Menicher's momentum that he didn't come back to his senses for a while. When he sat on the guest chair, he frowned and realized that things were not simple. He stood up angrily and pointed at Menicher who continued to pick fruits: "Why are you acting like you are the owner of this room!"

Menechel sat up. He did not continue what Gold said. Instead, he said as if it was a matter of course, "You were scolded?"

Gold snorted twice and sat down again. He looked at Minashel with disdain and said in a buzzing voice, "You killed Caster's important experimental materials. Now the clan leader doubts whether I have the ability to stop you."

"Didn't I call you Master in front of him? You can't handle him?"

"Who cares about the name? What's important is the result. The fact is that you killed an important homunculus and destroyed the friendly relationship between Yugdomireya and Ruler. Most importantly, I was scolded by the clan leader!"

As he was talking, Gold suddenly realized that the atmosphere was not right. Saber did not argue with him this time, which was rare. He could not help but get worried, suspecting that his tone just now was too harsh and touched Saber's self-esteem.

Gold, who had calmed down somewhat, coughed awkwardly. He stubbornly did not apologize and his tone slowly slowed down: "Although Ruler's behavior is quite uncomfortable, Saber, you will make big mistakes if you act impulsively."

Gold believed that Saber had fully understood this point. After all, it was because of his character flaws that Saber lost to King Arthur at the last moment.

"I didn't kill that android on impulse." Menechel suddenly spoke up, motioning Gold to sit down. Rarely, he showed no displeasure at Gold's words. He said, "I killed him to silence him."

Gold's mouth opened wide, and he remembered the lie Saber had encouraged him to tell. His voice became even softer: "The clan leader wouldn't really waste time questioning a cyborg just to verify the truth."

"It's not about such a small matter - isn't Ruler going to take him away?"

Gold was a little surprised when he heard what Minechelle said. But it was in line with Minechelle's image that she wanted to kill someone she cared about in revenge for her personal grudge against Ruler.

"Although you can sense the location of the android, I guess your perception won't last long given that you can get lost. If Ruler takes your android away, it will be hard for you to find the lost android... If your technology is lost, even Gold will be troubled."

In fact, these were all excuses made up later. Minachell simply didn't want to fulfill Ruler's idea.

Gold listened to Minechel's explanation in a daze, and suddenly he felt that the anger in his chest dissipated a lot in an instant, and even his voice became a little lighter.

"Even so, this is equivalent to forcing Ruler to the enemy side."

"Ruler?" Menechel chuckled. He picked up the legendary picture book that Gold had placed on the table. On it was written "The Legend of King Arthur". Menechel flipped through the book casually, not looking for any particular page. He just glanced through the contents of the book.

"Gold, since you have read the story about me, you should know that I have never sought the support of neutral nobles from the beginning to the end."

Gold looked at Menechel's sudden serious expression and was also infected by it and sat up slightly straighter. He hesitated for a moment and nodded hesitantly.

“I think that’s unnecessary behavior.”

"Perhaps you think it is necessary to win the side of neutral parties, but since neutral parties will side with you because of your persuasion and actions, they will naturally side with your enemies for the same reason. Those who are not in the same camp will never work together."

"So rather than letting such an unstable factor join, it is better to get rid of it first. The same goes for Ruler."

Gold was a little overwhelmed by what Menechel said. He frowned and thought it made a lot of sense at first, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt something strange was at first.

"As for you being punished." Menechel put the book down, sneered and stood up, patting Gold's shoulder to stop him from getting up. Disdain flashed in his eyes: "You have drawn the strongest trump card. It is you who have formed a master relationship with me, not Yugdomirea. Now they need your help. If that Danic dares to cause trouble with this, you can just defect to the Red Team."

"Unlike Rider's sneaky approach, even if we are discovered by all the Black Servant, I can still take you away from here... I guess I can get your android back later."

Although there was a smile on his face, that cold smile did not reach his eyes. A sharp light flashed faintly in Menechel's dark red pupils.

Although they were only dealing with Rider and Lancer on the red side, and the red Saber who looked like Mordred, the gap in strength between the two sides was already apparent.

His voice grew colder, falling on Gold's soul like fine snow, causing Gold to shiver.

"Even if Black Lancer and I each blocked the enemy's strongest Red Lancer and Red Rider, what about the rest? I don't think it's necessary for me to lead a group of burdens to victory. I only need to lead Gold to victory."

Gold was so shocked by Menechelle's sudden and outrageous statement that his mouth opened wide. His pupils dilated rapidly and the light in his eyes disappeared.

"As long as you nod, I can take you away now."

"you……"

Gold pointed at Menechel and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He angrily slapped Menechel's hand off his shoulder.

"Don't be ridiculous!" Gold stood up. For the first time, he faced his Servant head-on. He took a few deep breaths to overcome the uneasiness that almost rose from the bottom of his heart. He gritted his teeth and spoke word by word:

"Although I have a wish that must be fulfilled by the Holy Grail, I will never betray the clan leader and join the running dogs of the Magic Association. When my family was in trouble, the clan leader Danic helped me. I don't understand why he helped me. I don't know what his purpose was in helping me, but one thing I know very well is that he has kept me alive until now. If you want me to betray him in exchange for victory, then -"

Gold said this, raising his hand holding the Command Seal. He looked at Menechel, and this time he was not timid at all. A determined light gradually appeared in his eyes.

"——Then, Saber, I can only use the Command Seal to make you commit suicide here."

The air froze as Gold finished his last sentence. Menechel looked at Gold with a strange look in his eyes.

"What... Isn't this a very decent expression?" Minesher suddenly laughed out loud. He patted Gold's shoulder with satisfaction. As Gold's eyes gradually turned confused, Minesher said, "If you had agreed to my proposal just now, I would naturally take you away, but I would not approve of you like I do now."

He looked at Gold, and the inexplicable light in his eyes became more intense.

——It really looks alike.

"Then for now I will assume that you have the ability to command me."

Gold blinked in confusion, and his outstretched arm was held down by Menechel's hand.

"Also, don't say things like revenge to my face. It would be safer if you hide quietly and use the Command Spell to make me commit suicide when I'm not around."

"Don't let your emotions get the better of you, Gold."

Chapter 160 Gold surrenders to Minae in his dream

"If you don't come out, my Mujik family will never have a peaceful day." Gold wiped away the tears from his eyes, then bowed his head to the knight in front of him. He held up the knight's medal that he had carefully kept in his chest with both hands and raised it above his head: "If you really insist on not helping, then please accept the last relic of my family. After that, Gold will live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and never seek to revive the family!"

"Why is this!"

The knight immediately stood up, took Gold's hands with both hands, and helped him up. Gold took the opportunity to hold those hands and burst into tears: "I have seen many extraordinary people in the world, and none of them can compare to you, sir."

"I am grateful for your kindness. Lord Gold is an alchemist respected by the world. I have humbled myself to ask you several times. If you do not mind, Mina will serve you as my master and will serve you wholeheartedly to win the Holy Grail War."

Seeing Menachele bow his head and acknowledge his master, Gold was overjoyed. He cheered and tightly grasped Menachele's hand. He couldn't wait to take a step towards the door: "I have Minachele, which is like a tiger with wings. Who among the heroes of the world dares to fight against me?"

Gold stepped into the air and felt as if he was falling into an abyss. He looked up at the retainer he had just recovered in shock and said, "Minai, save me!"

Menachel said nothing, folded his hands and sneered.

How hateful! I actually forgot that this thief is a traitor and should not be trusted!

"what!"

Gold sat up from the ground, rubbing his face which seemed a little numb from falling on the ground. He held on to the sofa with his other hand to support his body and climbed up. Only then did he realize that what he had just done was just a dream.

I stayed up so late last night discussing future strategic plans with Saber that I fell asleep on the sofa without realizing it.

Gold held his head, which was swollen and painful due to the poor sleep quality, and stood there for a while. He frowned slightly. Although it was very common for the Master to dream about the Servants during the Holy Grail War, shouldn't it be a dream about the past of the Servants? How did he go to Longzhong?

Could it be that I was thinking of making Minachell surrender in my heart?

Absolutely absurd!

"Hey, Gold, you're awake so early."

Hearing Minechel's voice, Gold immediately shifted his attention back. At this time, Minechel no longer wasted his fruits, but instead inspected the bookcase where he stored his books.

Gold had no hidden secrets there, so he was fearless and puffed out his chest and belly to let Minechelle fiddle with the bookshelf.

Being stared at by Gold, Minesher stopped what he was doing. He glanced at Gold suspiciously: "It's not even daybreak outside yet, are you really not going to get some sleep... If you don't have a physique like me, you will die from not getting enough rest, or..."

As Menachel spoke, he looked at the bookcase next to him. Could it be that there was some unspeakable little secret in there?

Menechel, who was originally a little surprised because there were only some biographies and myths on the bookshelf and no books related to magic, now couldn't help but become interested in the bookshelf.

Gold didn't say anything. He sat back on the sofa, took out the knight's medal that was placed close to his body, leaned against the cushion and stared at the medal without blinking, as if he was recalling the scene when someone had just sworn allegiance.
