Chapter 555 Unable to Betray (Continue Two in One)

"It's ugly."

In the shadow of the entrance of the altar, Semiramis crossed his arms and frowned tightly, as if expressing his dissatisfaction in this way.

"What are 'Shadow Servants'? They're just puppets with empty power. They're called 'Shadows of Servants'."

"It turns out that it is indeed a more appropriate title."

The golden spirit disperses, adding some light to the dark space.

Hearing this voice and seeing this brilliance, the empress's face showed obvious mockery.

"It's really rare that you would leave that room."

The room Semiramis mentioned refers to the former five masters of the red party——Lotwell Berzinski, Kim Ram, Pantier Brothers, Fender Vol Senbe The room where Lun rests.

Before the servants were summoned, they were fed poison and fell into the world of madness while maintaining a normal state of thinking. They were induced and manipulated by shirou and Semiramis until shirou took them away. command spell.

They are all first-class modern magicians, and there is no shortage of mental defense methods.However, these methods are no different from paper armor to the oldest poison killers.As a result, they were not killed, nor were they given freedom, but were left alive as they are now, no different from waste.

Even so, Karna still guarded them. When he didn't receive orders, he would stay in the room and accompany them silently, just as he had promised earlier.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't regard Shirou as the master, and obeying Shirou's orders was only in this way to better protect the group of trash.

Although there is no difference in the result, there is a hidden danger in this way-if his Master wakes up and gives instructions, Karna will undoubtedly betray, no matter what the situation is at the time.

Before depriving the Command Seal and the contract, in order to prevent the servants from noticing the abnormality, any direct damage is not allowed, and even the amount of poison is reduced again and again.Even Semiramis, the oldest poisoner in the world, still failed to achieve satisfactory results under such harsh conditions.That is, they don't know when they will wake up.

If it's okay to wake up after the dust settles, if before—

In order to prevent hidden dangers, Semiramis thought about getting rid of these five people more than once.But she had to worry about Karna's mood. This is the last member of her side who can charge forward.

This kind of dilemma made Semiramis very dissatisfied, and naturally he would not have a good face towards Karna.

"You'd better give up, Lancer. They won't wake up during this fight, and you're under no obligation to obey their orders."

"The relationship between the master and the servant is not an obligation, but a contract, a bond. Assassin, you probably didn't assist Shirou Kotomine out of an obligation."

"Of course, the relationship between me and him is based on the contract between the master and the servant. But Lancer, your master should be Shirou, not these guys."

It was a provocative smile that was full of ridicule, and an ordinary hero would never be able to bear it.But facing Semiramis' smile, Karna did not show the slightest disgust, but nodded in a serious and earnest manner:

"What you said is indeed true, Assassin. The master-slave relationship concluded in the most proper way, you are the only one in this camp. The master is using you, and you are using the master. But , but there is dedication and trust to each other. You can't betray him, at most you can only think about it in your heart."

"—"

These words left Semiramis speechless.

Didn't this heroic spirit point out "something" hidden in the deepest part of him in an incomparably direct way just now?

After a period of silence, the Empress slowly spoke:

"... Just now, what did you say, what did you say?"

"I didn't say anything. You can't betray the master, and because the other party has placed full trust in you, I'm just praising you as the most ideal master-slave relationship."

Semiramis stared hard at Karna.Karna, on the other hand, showed a perplexed expression as if he felt bewildered.

He was indeed praising himself, at least in his own eyes.But this statement—

"You are... talking stupid things."

"I didn't say anything stupid. As a master and slave, you are in the most ideal state. You will not betray him, and he will not betray you. It is not because you will retaliate against the betrayer with the greatest punishment, but because he is very Understand that not to betray is the most important and the most appropriate means."

—He will not betray.

This sentence sounds very noble.

Ignoring Semiramis' wavering, Karna continued:

"I won't ask you to forgive me for this, but you can at least accept my actions, Assassin. The law of the world is the law of the jungle——that being said, we are not beasts. We should have a cloak beyond our instincts. The shell of human relations, and that is the ethics that is different for each person. Now, it is this layer of ethics that will not let me betray my Master—because that is how I am constituted. I will be here Protect them, that's all I can say."

"...Is that so.... Well, do as you like."

"Thanks a lot Assassin."

Karna bowed his head deeply.

Semiramis snorted and activated the magic of space transfer.

Just before her body was about to disappear, she asked again:

"—Do you really think I won't betray you?"

"Of course. Assassin, are you the kind of paranoid who wants to kill the person you love?"

Hearing this answer, Semiramis showed unprecedented panic and disappeared in a gesture of fleeing for his life.

Karna stood alone on the spot and let out a soft breath.

"Hmm—this way, Assassin won't be planning to kill the Master and the others."

Unlike his relief, Semiramis, who returned to the throne, looked bewildered.

——You can’t betray him, at most you can just think about it in your heart.

What absurd nonsense that is.It was only now that some kind of emotion similar to anger began to surge violently in his heart.

The blood is also extremely hot as if it is about to boil.

"You actually said that I can't betray? I am Semiramis, who relied on betrayal to kill the queen who controlled the Assyrian Empire!"

It's just ridiculous.The reason why I didn't betray was just because it was fun to be on the same side with him.

If he bored him, she could betray at any time.

Lancer, that guy is so ridiculous.Of course I can betray, but there is no need to betray for the time being.

Or I can betray you right now, snatch everything he is obsessed with, and turn it into nothing.

That's right, I don't need to cater to that boy's wayward thoughts at all.Just grab it.As has been done more than once in the past, with words, fingertips, and sweet poison, make everything your own.

You can imagine his expression when he was betrayed.Shocked as if in a daze, his face will surely distort into an angry shape as he gradually understands the facts before him.And then, the next thing I will definitely cry out in grief——

"...No, that's not right. That guy wouldn't show such an expression, no matter how he thinks about it, he won't let himself fall to that point."

He always looks at ease, as if he has endless means, as if nothing can trouble him, even his own poison can't help him.

Although I haven't used Hydra's poison, which even the most powerful heroes can't bear, can it really be useful?

If it doesn't work, can relying on magic, deception, seduction, etc. really be his hindrance?

No way.

Certainly not.

From the very beginning, when he resisted his own poison, he vaguely realized that he followed him not only because it was fun, but also because he had nothing to do with him.

It's really ugly, the dignified Assyrian empress has nothing to do with a man.

"However, you are wrong about one thing, Lancer. From the time I was taken away by Ninus, no, from the time I was abandoned by my mother, I will not be tempted, so it is absolutely impossible to have a favorite object."

No way! ! !

Impossible.

absolutely impossible...

The empress leaned on the throne with blank eyes, holding a trace of loneliness as cool as a thin cloud, repeating the same words over and over again.

"Is it really?"

A female voice suddenly appeared in her head without any warning.

"who!!!"

Semiramis woke up instantly, holding powerful magic power in her hands, which could be transformed into great magic at any time.

At the same time, various detection magics were spread among the kings, looking for the source of the sound.

"Sorry, I seemed to scare you."

The voice sounded very sincere, with an inexplicable affinity.

But the owner of the garden, the Empress of Assyria, not only did not relax, but tensed her body, as if facing an enemy.

During the time that voice spoke, she had already isolated the space between the kings, and scanned it many times with magic, but found nothing abnormal.

This shows that the enemy either has the ability to break through the blockade of the garden space and directly transmit the sound to her mind; or it can perfectly avoid her detection and come and go freely in her home field and her domain.

No matter which one it is, it means that this enemy is very scary.Although she was a little reluctant to admit it, it was indeed not something she could handle alone, and she needed reinforcements.

Just as she started the communication technique, the voice rang again.

"Please don't be so nervous, I have no hostility, let alone the ability to hurt you, I just want to talk to you."

"Talk about it? Okay, since you want to talk, at least let me see you, so that you can be considered sincere."

Semiramis rolled his eyes and was not in a hurry to activate the communication technique.To be honest, she was very curious about the owner of the voice.

"I'm sorry, that, I really want to appear in front of you and have a face-to-face conversation with you. But no, I am far away. What is here is just my thoughts, without a body, let alone a way to materialize .I'm really, really sorry."

So what she has is the ability to break through the space blockade from a long distance.No, it is also possible that they are lying, creating false appearances, and letting me relax my vigilance.To be on the safe side, it is better to inform Shirou.

Semiramis responded while thinking in his mind.

"That's right, then there's nothing I can do. You and I have nothing to talk about, please leave. If you don't leave, I will regard you as an enemy."

"Please, please wait, I'm really not your enemy."

The voice in my head was a little more anxious.

"I won't take up much of your time, please trust me."

Semiramis was a little confused.She, who is good at playing tricks, has long been used to speculating others with the greatest malice, but this time she really didn't feel a little bit of malice - there is more than one way to let her guard down, and there is no need to lower her posture so low.

It's not like harming someone at all, but begging for someone.

Well, let me see what tricks you are playing.

Thinking so, Semiramis dispersed the communication spell in his hand.

"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Tell me about him."

"he?"

"That's right... Shirou Kotomine, your Master."

"Shirou?" Semiramis thumped in his heart, "What happened to him?"

"What's wrong with him, what's wrong with you - you just said that you won't be tempted by him?"

"Hmph, so what?"

"That's not what you really mean."

"What do you want to express? I like him?" Semiramis' voice became sharp, "Don't be kidding, everyone in the world is just my plaything, and I can turn them into unintentional puppets at any time."

"Including him?"

Her Majesty the Empress really wanted to answer yes, but she knew she couldn't do it, so she could only sit on the throne resentfully.

"It's just that I haven't found his weakness yet. One day I will..."

"Hehe, that's right."

The smile in the voice made Semiramis feel a little disobedient.

"You... seem to know him very well."

"Well, I understand very well. There is probably no one in this world who understands him better than me."

Hearing such words, Semiramis felt a little more irritable for no reason.

"So, you are his old friend? I'll call him here now to see if what you said is true—"

"Please do not do this."

"Why, are you deceiving me?"

"I didn't lie to you, but if he knew that I was secretly projecting my thoughts over, we might never have the opportunity to communicate like this again."

"Eh?"

"Even if you don't want to trust me, at least let me finish my sentence. I don't want you to regret it in the future."

"Regret, dare to say, you know me very well?"

"I don't know if this counts as understanding, but I have been watching you all the time, since the appearance of this garden between illusion and reality."

"You..."

While Semiramis was horrified, he also had uncontrollable curiosity.

"Who the hell are you?"

"I am his..."

"what!!!"

Hearing that insignificant word, Semiramis' empress image collapsed.

PS: The traitor is very curious, how to deal with these five mentally handicapped eaters.
