Next, Shen Er, what's your business?

Chapter 367 Kill Command
The empress, who had already drank a lot of wine, was half lying on the table in the courtyard, shaking her right hand holding the blue and white porcelain cup casually, completely unaware that this lazy demeanor was more intoxicating than a century-old wine.

Sitting across from her, she was enjoying the drunken beauty in front of her to her heart's content. There was admiration, pity, and relaxation in her half-closed eyes, but there was no possessiveness.He grabbed the wine jar, poured a glass for himself and his partner, and put a piece of preserved egg into his mouth.

"I said, Assassin, do you regret making that agreement with me?"

"You still ask that? Master, your proposal is interesting. As long as you can withstand my poisonous killing, I will not hesitate to help you."

"Even if I don't need the Holy Grail?"

"But you still want to fight for the Holy Grail, don't you?"

Semiramis turned his head and looked at Shirou vaguely.

Shirou nodded: "Because I promised a person to help him make a wish for the Holy Grail to save all mankind, even though I personally don't like this wish. Well, I have received all the rewards for being entrusted with loyalty, and only You can do it to the end, not to mention the influence of consciousness left by that guy, so the saint is troublesome."

"Saint? Consciousness?"

"I can't tell you now, just wait."

Shirou didn't want to say anything, and Semiramis didn't ask too many questions. Many things were just in the glass, and the more mellow the more fragrant:
"If that wish comes true, the new world—"

"—it will be boring, and that's why I don't tell you."

"That's right, the interesting Holy Grail War, the interesting Master, and the boring wish, this kind of contradiction is also interesting. I began to think that even if there is no agreement, it is not unacceptable to assist you——If you can restrain yourself Squeeze your mouth."

"Forget it, I will never change my mouth for the rest of my life." Shirou smiled and raised his glass, "Cheers to the interesting Holy Grail War."

"cheers."

The two wine glasses collided and drank each.

A gray dove landed between two wine glasses, rubbing Semiramis' hand with its small head.

Semiramis raised his head, swept away the drunkenness on his face, and looked at the familiar who came to deliver the message.She is both an assassin and a caster.

"Double Summon"——This is an extremely rare skill that can hold the special skills of both assassin and caster classes at the same time.

Therefore, the red assassin retains the familiars that can only be possessed as a caster.

Semiramis, you were abandoned by your mother when you were born, and the pigeons raised her instead of a wet nurse.Since then, the pigeons have become her forever friends.

"There is a report. It seems that our berserker has just arrived in Tulifas. Archer and rider are also ready as reserves."

"Oh, did the rider go too?"

Archer went to track this matter, Shirou and Semiramis already knew.Now it seems that rider has also joined it.

"He seems to be following Archer—forget it, anyway, it's the rider, probably trying to convince the fellow Archer by the way."

Semiramis' voice was slightly sinister.

Between the bold and upright rider who doesn't even look down on the king, and the Assassin who ruled the world as the empress of Assyria, Shirou can feel the fatal mismatch between the two.If it is not the "Holy Grail War" but the "Holy Grail War", this may be the first combination to clash.

But now under my own unification, at most it is a verbal confrontation, which will not affect the overall situation.

Shaking the wine jar that had already bottomed out, Shirou thought for a while and said: "From the results, you should be right, but the relationship between these two people is far more than simple fellow countrymen, at least it is like this for the rider."

"Is there any hidden secret in this?" Semiramis became interested, and gossip is also a kind of interest, especially the gossip of people she is not used to.

"Indeed, it's okay to tell you. Promise me one thing - you can use it to tease Archer and Rider, but don't say that I said it."

"I promise."

"Archer is the companion of Rider's father. The two of them and other heroes who have left their names in mythology have embarked on various adventures together. If I remember correctly, Archer is the only woman in the adventure team, at least the only famous one. Women are also the goddesses in the hearts of most people in the adventure team, including Rider's father."

"Could something happen between Rider's father and Archer?" Semiramis guessed maliciously.

"I wish something happened, so it would be fun. Unfortunately, no, rider's mother is not easy to mess with. If rider's father dares to mess around, then he will be finished. But although nothing happened, the young man His longing never faded throughout his life, and he even mentioned it to his children more than once. Think about it, when a father mentions a woman full of longing and shyness, what kind of impression will it leave on the child? Is it possible to bury an inexplicable path? What about unknown emotions?"

In a way, shirou is also quite funny.

"I see." Semiramis nodded thoughtfully, "How do you know so well? Could it be——you have a similar experience?"

"Uh..." Shirou paused, "How did you think of this? I thought you would ask me if I was related to them."

"If it's relevant, they should recognize you when they see you, don't change the subject."

"It really doesn't."

"Then how do you know so well?"

"I've seen a lot."

Shirou sighed, and the deepness revealed at that moment made Semiramis ignore the boy's appearance.

"I just look young, but I'm actually older than you."

"You don't behave like this."

"Hehe, you hate judging people by their appearance, why doesn't it apply to me?"

"I don't judge people by their appearance, but by their performance—your appearance roughly matches your age."

"That's because I adjusted myself to a 17-year-old mentality. It's good to be young. Your current mentality is not the same as before you died, right?"

Semiramis was silent, the spirit of the spirits is so wonderful, it can summon the side of the same person in different periods, and now Semiramis is at the most beautiful and strongest age in her life.

After a while, she said, "I'm curious about what you will look like in ten years."

"It's not much different from now. It's just that I have grown taller and more mature. Then I got married and had children. Many things can't be done according to my temper."

"you are married?"

There was a look of surprise on Semiramis' face, and soon a charm that turned his life upside down.

"Master, how is your wife compared to me?"

Shirou answered decisively, without any hesitation: "They are all prettier than you."

"I don't believe it!" Semiramis objected. She has an awkward personality, and she hates other people judging people by their appearance, and also hates beauty being ignored.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you—in my eyes, they are the most beautiful, the world, no, they are unparalleled in the entire multiverse."

"They? You have more than one wife?"

"Yes."

"Hmph, sure enough men are greedy and playful." Obviously, this answer offended Her Majesty the Empress again.

Just when shirou was about to say something, another pigeon also landed.

Semiramis put aside all distractions and listened to the pigeon's report.

"The person you asked me to pay attention to is finally here."

"It's the ruler."

When Shirou heard this, he immediately sat up straight, tapped the table rhythmically with his right hand, and carefully calculated various things.

"Yeah. It's been confirmed that that guy sneaked into Romania."

The network of pigeons spreads all over Romania, and it is thanks to them that Shirou and she can monitor the whole situation without leaving home.

The moment Ruler manifested and infiltrated the Kingdom of Final Battle (Romania), Semiramis' vanguard pigeons smelled a rush of magic power from the Servant that could not be completely hidden.

"How to do?"

"It's not impossible to ignore it, but it will miss a good show."

"Good show?"

"You will know soon, let Lancer test him, it is best to kill him, although it is basically impossible."

"If the rider is here, the two of them can be united." Semiramis lamented.

Among the seven servants on the red side, excluding Saber who was acting alone, there were six remaining.Among them, lancer and rider are extraordinary heroic spirits compared with the other four.In particular, Rider's popularity in Romania is even comparable to that of Vlad III.

shirou shook his head: "Rider will not accept this task. Even if it is the master's order, 'hate what you hate no matter what', he is such a person. Ordinary people can be called stubborn, and it is heroic to appear on a hero .”

Rider is not a rebellious hero like berserker.But he was also a man who was far from being a knight who served the king.Even the king's orders would be blatantly ignored as long as it was not to his liking.He would take up arms again, all to avenge his friends.

It is impossible for such a man to accept the order to kill Ruler together with Lancer.

"Lancer is different. He is a pure 'warrior', and he is absolutely loyal to the identified master. As long as there is an order from the master, he will not even have the slightest thought of disobedience, and will directly take action."

This evaluation made Semiramis think about many things.

"This is also the reason why you can directly deprive Lord Lancer of the command spell, but you don't do it, just let me control him with poison."

"That's right—an announcement to the Red Lancer. Follow the instructions of the Red Assassin and kill the ruler. The release of the Noble Phantasm is up to you to judge!"
