Chapter 913: Reply
The young man's cold sweat kept coming out of his forehead, and his body trembled and tightened because he smelled death, "That --- isn't okay?" ---" he replied with a giggle, his uncontrolled facial muscles making him even giggle when he spoke.
Seeing this, Qing smiled slightly, and then put away the momentum oppression that can only be used to bully and bully the weak, "Hahaha~~ Just kidding, don't worry, you're too nervous, Shirou." As he spoke, he waved his hand to disperse the barrier that blocked the area in front of him, and the wooden house hidden and protected by the barrier appeared in the woods deep in the barrier, everything was intact, and it was obvious that the whole project of repairing the wooden house had been completed, otherwise the barrier would not have operated as usual.
The stride pointed straight at the two of them, a calm step, a calm breath, with a smile on his face without a trace of murderous intent. Artoria's pupils contracted urgently, and he stepped in front of the young man, but Qing naturally bypassed them and walked into the enchantment, turned around and said to the two with a smile, "Don't be so nervous Saber, or maybe it's me who should be nervous, I have found such a good workshop that I hid in the future, so what safe place can I hide from now on." ”
"So you're ready to be killed?" Artoria said coldly, but she was thinking, although ordinary people couldn't see her subtle movements, but as a former best friend, she knew her every move. She was rejecting the meeting, she was resisting the battle, the sorrow between her brows, the grief in her pupils, these were the motivations for her to fight, the catalyst for her to desire the Holy Grail, and the fear of defeat---
Qing slowly looked away, "If I were going to kill you, you would have been dead a long time ago, if I'm not mistaken, it would have been the best time when you were defeated by Berserker last night, but I thought about it, I think you'd be a little more alive than a corpse, wouldn't it?" Artoria was silent for a moment, obviously recalling the tragic fight, and there was no doubt about the defeat, "What are you thinking?" ”
Faced with the question of his former best friend, Qing shook his head silently, "You're slower than before, Artoria." You have to ask your opponent such a simple question, hehe~ Or do you look down on me? I'm sorry, but I can't answer that question, because you know it in your heart, but you just don't want to say it. Quietly looking at the blonde girl, it's a pity that she has no words, it turns out that she actually understands, it is impossible for her not to understand the truth after being on the battlefield and never defeated.
Qing stretched his waist and leaned on the edge of the enchantment with one hand, looking at the two people in front of him, this coincidence couldn't help but be a little strange, how did they bypass the dispersal technique to find this place? But now is not the time to pursue these things, and there are only two ways in front of us.
The first is to start a war, and their important stronghold is discovered, so it may be countless troubles to come down, just like Caster who has exposed her traces in Liudong Temple, she can go to her trouble anytime and anywhere, relying on the powerful leylines of Liudong Temple as a position and workshop, she can't easily transfer the base, so she can only be a backhand, and can only endure the opponent's harassment and attack from time to time, and she can only blindly respond to the battle, Because more than half of Caster's combat strength depends on the position and the workshops and foundations prepared in advance.
The second way, this is actually an unwise option, that is, to use the policy of tenderness, because the two sides still have some friendship no matter what, on this basis, everyone maintains an ambiguous relationship of enemies but not attacking each other, so that the crisis can also be said to have been alleviated, but at the same time, they must also ensure that their tone is strict enough, if the information of their own stronghold is leaked, then it may not only be Caster who comes to attack him, There might even be a terrifying monster like Berserker!
"So, since they're all here, do you want to come in and sit down? Shirou. After thinking about it for a while, Qing had already made up his mind and calmly sent out the application, because if the second way can be implemented, then as a basis, they will definitely accept the invitation, which shows that the friendship still exists, and this is the most important bridge of the second way. As for why you don't choose the more secure first path, it's because there is an immeasurable factor in it, and that is the treasure! Although Artoria's physical indicators are not good now, what she is holding in her hand is still the ultimate holy sword, and if it really reaches the point where it is irretrievable, she is very likely to use the treasure----
Emiya Shirou fell silent, hesitating, for the invitation placed in front of him was so far away that he might not understand all the truth, but the crisis was self-evident. At this time, Artoria did not participate in the interference, which is somewhat surprising, but she should be waiting for the Master's decision, whether to be an enemy or a friend, as a Servant she will raise objections about how to fight when fighting, but the decision to affect the future direction of the entire faction, that is up to the Master.
Looking at this silent scene, Qing said that he was not in a hurry, because anything suddenly had to make a major change in a short period of time, thinking was essential, even when Artoria was alive, Artoria would gather many ministers and knights and nobles to discuss when she encountered this situation, and even a round table, so she had an experience, and it was not strange to encounter this kind of thing, but it was quite anxious to wait for the result to come out.
Nearly five minutes had passed, and Emiya Shirou raised his head with a determined expression, thinking that he had already made a decision. Qing saw this and smiled slightly, raised his hand indifferently and invited again, "So, do you want to come in and sit down?" If you've already thought about it, give me an answer. ”
The boy looked at Saber, and the other man nodded to indicate that it didn't make sense, so the boy made up his mind, "Well, let's go Saber, let's go in and have a look, if it's okay here, then you can rest easy." Shirou said and bowed respectfully towards Qing, Qing smiled and nodded and made a gesture of please, "Hehehe~ As the owner here, it is my honor to have someone come to the house, so you can rest assured, as a courtesy of the friendship of the landlord, I will put down all the enemies and enemies in the Holy Grail War, in this enchantment of mine, you are guests, and I am just an ordinary host who invites you to be a guest."
