Chapter 279: Expectations
The battle in the rear is very hot, and Ichijo Yuki-e also shows off his melee ability as a magician, combining runes and fighting techniques in their entirety and using them to the extent that they can be used at the same time! Hundreds or even thousands of incantations make the seemingly monotonous sanda fighting strange and ever-changing!
It's a pity that these green ones didn't pay attention, and not far from him, Assassin was standing in front of him very calmly. Motionless, even with a short sword in his hand, Qing just didn't feel the murderous aura. It's not that Assassin hid it, but it wasn't.
"Assassin--- yes. There are so many of you that you can be called a team, and I don't think you should mind if I call you that. But then again, your master seems to be in a hard fight, don't you think you should do something? ”
A snow painting has been fighting for a while, and at first Yan Feng Qili still had the upper hand a little, but was quickly pulled back into the situation by a snow painting. It was obvious that Yan Fengqili, who was not very proficient in magic, would soon fall into a disadvantage, but unfortunately Assassin was unmoved. It's not so much about waiting for the right time, it's more about simply waiting!
"You don't bear the name of Assassin, Caster. You were once a knight, and I am a pure Assassin, and we live our lives for our own names. For us, it's a pride, far above any glory. Lurking in the darkness, waiting for instructions to erase tyranny and government one by one. ”
Cold, calm This is the voice of the Assassin, Qing can't hear the pride he is talking about, maybe that's how they were called Assassins. They are not alone, there are men and women, old people and children, like cold machines, storing cold assassination techniques.
"So even if you pay the blood of your companions, you have to complete the task perfectly? Actually, at first, I really wondered if you still have a human side, or maybe you are just hiding, as you said, hidden in the darkness. Or after a long time, even forget about yourself. ”
Qing crossed his hands over his chest, leaning against the trunk of a tree and looking at the person in front of him. They are people to admire because they have not forgotten their duty even when they have died. Resurrected from the bleak dead, he still did not show his desire to live in the sun. That's why Qing Cai asked, whether they still retain their humanity.
"I can think of this as your provocation, Caster. However, the Assassin will not kill anyone without instructions. Just like the short sword, the name of Assassin will always be with us, cold-blooded is the blade, humanity is the handle, you should know that the hilt of the sword can't kill people. It's too blunt. ”
A very clear monologue, even if it is just one person speaking, but it also represents a whole, and no one refutes it, not even a trace of emotional abnormality. They just stood and waited, some in the dark, some in the moonlight. It's like blending in with the surroundings, and only the bright dagger indicates the location.
"Maybe that's true for you. Abandoning humanity can give you strength and even courage, but as you say, you can't control people without a handle. I think that's the best answer you've ever given me. But I don't really want this to be your standard answer. ”
Qing leaned against the tree and talked and laughed, but the back was in dire straits. The sound of trees being broken by fists, the muffled grunt of hitting the flesh, the sound of the body being suppressed and smashed, are all thrilling for anyone. But it's basically the same, neither side has called for Servant to intervene in the fight!
"Na~Assassin. Just listening to your master's voice, it seems that he can still hold out for a while, but I don't see any anxiety on your face. If you don't care more than your own life, isn't it even your own master? ”
Qing looked at them with a smile, his master would be fine, and Qing naturally didn't need to worry. But the Assassin's calm didn't tell that they were worried, even anxious. Everyone is in a very quiet state, like a robot without a battery.
"We Assassins don't live for any individual, and Assassin was a religious sect long ago. The help of King Xian can bring beauty to the world, but unfortunately there is no king in this era, and although the political system can continue to improve, the world no longer needs us. So now we only follow the instructions of the Lord, and in the same way we do not kill anyone for our own desires. ”
Qing's eyes touched, and this was the only word from the Assassin that made Qing feel touched. Although that ridiculous skull mask obscured their expressions. But that invisible sadness cannot be hidden. Maybe when they encounter despair that day, they will lose the strength to resist!
"--------- hum~. Sure enough, it was a good experience to be able to participate in this Holy Grail War, in fact, in my eyes at first, most of the Assassins were murderers hidden in the dark, and it was really refreshing to be able to meet an opponent like you. I believe that it will not be long before we can fight properly and stand in the perspective of life and death! ”
Qing put away her indifferent smile and looked at them calmly. Of course, they can be admired, but the essence of this battle is impossible to forget. Fighting, that is unavoidable, because only one of the eight factions can win. The loser, only death, or give up the fight--------
The night was still long, and the forest looked dull and desolate in the moonlight. The battle of a snow painting is still in full swing, as if concentrating one's fists is not one's own. The Assassins watched the battle in silence, unable to see their expressions or their moods.
Qing can rely on the magic of perception to look at the area, and in the other direction of this engagement, Artoria's battle is also coming to an end. The layers of monster attacks have been torn apart, and it is believed that it will not be long before Black Caster is defeated. This time, as a Servant, Qing was honored to be a spectator, but unfortunately this was not what Qing wanted.
The woman suspected to be Artoria's Master and another woman suspected to be a mercenary never left, as if they were afraid of Yan Feng Qili's approach to the castle. So that is, Artoria will get here as soon as the battle is over.
'It's a long time difference, Master. You can't take out the Assassin Master yet, so you should think of something more useful before you run out of mana. ’
