A few minutes later, Rogen and Matthew had left the tower and returned to the burning town.

It was too conspicuous to continue to stay on that tower, and Luo Zhen could only let Matthew take him away, find a temporary stronghold as quickly as possible, and hide in it to avoid a second attack.

That being said, the so-called stronghold is actually just one of the buildings in this ruined town.

But no matter what, the two at least have a chance to catch their breath.

It's just that when they came back to their senses, the two looked at each other, and they both fell into indescribable complex emotions.

"That's... Are you okay? Predecessor? ”

“…… Well, nothing is a problem. ”

"That's... Is there anything abnormal in the body? ”

"Probably not, right?"

"That's... That's good. ”

"Hmm..."

After a very brief conversation, both men fell silent.

Luo Zhen raised his eyes, looking at the girl in front of him, who had changed greatly from the past, and looked awe-inspiring and a little uneasy, he couldn't help but sigh and took the lead in breaking the silence.

"Anyway, let me know the situation first." Luo Zhen asked Matthew in a calm tone, "If I'm not mistaken, Matthew, you have indeed become a servant, am I right?" ”

This is already an irrefutable fact.

Luo Zhen, who had already escaped from the sudden situation, had long felt what he had been ignoring before.

That's the slightest connection with Matthew.

This connection is like an invisible passage connecting himself and Matthew, so that Luo Zhen can easily send his magic power into Matthew's body, and he can even give orders to Matthew through the spell on the back of his hand.

Luo Zhen knew very well what that meant.

This means...

"You've made a contract with me as a servant, right?"

Luo Zhen made such an inquiry word by word.

In response, Matthew nodded, shook his head again, and made corrections.

"I did make a contract with my predecessors, and I did get the power of a servant, but I am not a regular servant in this state."

Speaking of this, Matthew's tone paused slightly, and then he said this.

"I've become a subservant now."

Hearing this, Luo Zhen's first reaction was not surprise, but a wry smile.

"Sure enough... Is that so...? ”

———— "The Subservant".

This is not a special Servant, but something created by human hands.

The so-called Servants, although they have inhuman power and can provide amazing combat effectiveness, they are heroes, legends and fantasies of the past, all of them have extraordinary will and faith, and it is a bit unrealistic to want to carry out arbitrary service as an envoy.

In other words, the Servant is likely to betray the Master, and is more likely to violate the Master's orders, disobey the command, and even endanger the Master in turn, so that the summoner will steal the chicken and rice.

It was to prevent this from happening that the spell was created.

The spell is a kind of command power that is three times, there are three strokes, each stroke is an order, and the original intention of its creation is to force the slave to dominate and make the servant obey the command of the master.

The Chaldeans reworked this command system to work with the Immortal Summoning System, so that the Master of the Servant Contract could also have the Command Spell.

It's just that the Chaldean mantra does not focus on the aspect of "domination", but is specialized in the aspect of "support", abandoning the coercive command power, and has a miraculous effect on the reinforcement and healing of the servant, and the domination of the servant is at best similar to the effect of "curse".

Of course, if you use all the three spells at once, then if you want to force the order of the servant, it is also not impossible.

Anyway, with the magic of Chaldeans, the masters can get a spell every day, and they can return to the spell in three days, and when it is time to use it, it can still be used.

However, if the servant does not obey the command and has to use the spell every time to drive it, it will also cause great trouble, and it will not be conducive to the battle at all.

Coupled with the fact that the Servant itself is a spirit body, and existence itself requires the consumption of mana, in order to make up for all kinds of shortcomings, Chaldea launched an experiment.

"The merging of humans and heroic spirits..."

That's right.

The fusion of humans and heroic spirits.

This is one of the studies that has been going on for more than a decade, and it is the sixth experiment of the Chaldeans.

"By merging with the Heroic Spirit, the experimental subject can not only obtain the power of the Servant level, because it is not a spirit itself, and it does not need to consume mana if it only exists, and what is even more valuable is that it will obey orders and can avoid all kinds of disadvantages, which is ———— Sub-Servant."

Luo Zhen looked at Matthew and let out a somewhat bitter voice.

"Has this experiment been completed now?"

The experiments of the sub-servants were launched more than ten years ago, but they have not been successful so far.

Luo Zhen didn't expect that this experiment would be completed under such circumstances.

That's what Matthew said.

"After all, I'm here for that in the first place."

Matthew's words, without the slightest fluctuation, made Luo Zhen clench his fists.

Now, there is no need to even say it.

Matthew is one of the subjects of this experiment.

This is Matthew's past, and the fate and life he had two years ago, before he appeared in the Chaldees.

It wasn't until two years ago that she was finally liberated because of the failure of the experiment, and the girl who could openly appear in Chaldea still became inhuman after all.

"It's... Damn it...! ”

Luo Zhen couldn't help but scold.

After a while, Luo Zhen's clenched fists were clenched by a pair of soft hands.

"Please don't be so angry, senpai."

Matthew used his hands to gently wrap Luo Zhen's clenched fists.

There was also a quiet smile on his face.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

Matthew's straightforward words echoed all around.

"At least, now I have the power to protect my seniors, and I feel very happy to be able to fight with my seniors as a servant of my seniors."

This is definitely not a lie.

The girl named Matthew must be grateful from the bottom of her heart for the current situation.

"If it were me now, I would have the ability to fight."

Matthew smiled at Rozhen.

It's just that this girl didn't know that her smile made Luo Zhen feel distressed.

(What do you mean by having fun?) ）

Luo Zhen recalled the look in Matthew's eyes he had seen not long ago.

In addition to the trust as always, there was something else in the eyes.

That kind of thing, it's called fear.

(On the one hand, I am happy because I have the strength to fight with me, and on the other hand, I am afraid of the battle itself...) ）

Luo Zhen held Matthew's hand instead, and while exerting force, he nailed a determination in his heart.

(I'm definitely not going to leave her alone...) ）

(Absolutely...) ）
