Next, Shen Er, what's your business?

Chapter 411
Then again, although Vlad III is dangerous and difficult to get along with, regardless of Astolfo, the option of watching him be executed by Vlad III has never existed from the beginning.

Shen Er's purpose is to seize the Holy Grail, but it is not enough for him to seize the Holy Grail alone.Therefore, he needs allies, and Astolfo is one of the ally candidates he has set.

What kind of allies are best?The answer is simple, two points:

First, it is not easy to betray.

Second, there is no demand for the Holy Grail.

Astolfo fits the above criteria perfectly.First of all, he was born as a knight and obeyed the knight's creed.As long as you gain his trust, you won't betray - the best evidence is that one person has resisted all the crimes before.

Secondly, he has no regrets in his life, he has no desire to entrust the Holy Grail, and he doesn't even know why he responded to the summons, and he often says "ah, since you have been summoned, enjoy your second life".

If it wasn't for the fact that this guy was too off-line, he would definitely be the best ally, not the current ally candidate.Of course, after freeing Chigurh and blocking two more attacks for Astolfo, he was already Shinji's ally.Next, as long as you make the best use of the situation, you can tie him to the warship.

But before that, you have to get through the current hurdle.

Just when Shen Er was thinking about how to let Vlad III temporarily spare Astolfo's life, Chiron had already spoken first, not to the Grand Duke on the jade throne, but to the caster who had remained silent from the beginning to the end. Avis Bron.

"Caster, you said just now that the android has a 'heart' that can be your Noble Phantasm?"

The magician whose face was always covered by a mask hummed.

"Just maybe? Not necessarily?"

"You can't make a conclusion without doing an experiment."

Avis Bron is a pure researcher. In this regard, he has always adhered to the principle of seeking truth from facts and never falsified.

Chiron continued to ask: "So - there is also the possibility that it cannot be used as a 'heart', right?"

Avis Bron nodded.

"Thank you." Chiron turned around politely, and said to Vlad III, "Grand Duke, you heard it too, it's just a possibility, not a certainty. If that artificial human doesn't have the qualifications to be a hearth, then the rider will just follow his own Will to deal with an artificial human. If I remember correctly, we wait for the command of an artificial human."

"Archer is right." Darnic said.

"So, you can't execute an important member of our party for a possible crime, what do you think? Grand Duke."

"..."

"Wait a moment--"

Before Vlad III could reply, Luo Xie stood up.

"—The teacher is just being rigorous. According to the data analysis we collected with other artificial humans, that artificial human can definitely be used as the 'heart'."

To say who is most dissatisfied with Rider letting Zieg go, it must be Avis Bron, followed by his master Luoxie.Luo Xie highly respected Avis Bron, and tried his best to learn from him and help him complete the treasure called "primitive human being".

Now, all the preparations have been done, only the "heart of the furnace" is missing, but the "heart of the furnace" was let go by his own followers, how can Luo Xie not be angry?After all, he was only 13 years old, and he couldn't be as absolutely rational as Avis Bron—if he lost a possible "heart", he would just find another one. There was no point in being angry, it was just a waste of time.

It's a pity that a child like Luo Xie, who is ignorant of the world, is no match for Chiron, so he was blocked with a single sentence.

"It's still just speculation, isn't it?"

"Yes, but—"

Just when Luo Xie didn't know what to say, Vlad III slapped the armrest of the throne and drank: "Enough. Archer, even if, as you said, that artificial human cannot become a 'heart', it cannot Cover up the fact that the rider is rebellious."

At first, the dispute about the cyborg was only between Avisbron and Astolfo. At best, it was just a conflict caused by different opinions, and it was not a big problem.However, Avis Bron reported the matter to Danik, and after Danik gave the pursuit order, the nature of the problem changed.

It would be fine if Astolfo handed over Zieg at this time, but not only did he not hand over, but he also broke through the interception of Gold and Siegfried and sent him away. This is undoubtedly a rebellious act .

"Traitors must be punished!"

Vlad III's words were loud and undeniable.

"Grand Duke—"

"Your Excellency is right!" Shen Er clapped his hands in front of Chiron, interrupting the latter's subsequent rebuttal, "The rebels must be punished."

Hearing this, Astolfo's mouth immediately pouted, and Chiron's expression became more puzzled, even Vlad III was a little surprised.

"Since I agree with Yu's point of view, why stop Yu?"

"Because there are many ways to punish, the Grand Duke chose the most wasteful one." Shen Er said, turned to look at the two of them, and threw out a calm look.

Vlad III asked: "Why did you say that?"

"After all, this is the time of war, and it is still the initial stage of the war. Although our side won the first battle and gained a certain advantage, this advantage is still far from establishing a victory. If you execute the rider at this time, it is tantamount to harming yourself and benefiting others. It's a waste of the advantage you just gained."

"In your opinion, how to deal with it."

"It's very simple. Death on the battlefield. Rebellion is a serious crime, and death must be an apology, but there are many ways to die. Death is death when assassinated by the Grand Duke, and death is death on the battlefield. Why don't you create some value for us? Suggestion, give him the most dangerous task for the next battle, and put him where the most dangerous. For our side, it will not waste combat power, and for him, dying on the way to charge is not a big deal. dishonor his knighthood."

Changing the immediate execution of the death penalty to a reprieve is Shen Er's goal.Both Shinji and Chiron are very clear that a tyrant like Vlad III cannot confront him head-on, and can only take it slow with a gentle approach.Chiron has already proved with practical actions that the method of "telling the truth with reason" is not enough, so he can only use another kind of "lure for profit". As long as he saves his life, there will always be a turning point.

With Chiron's wisdom, he understood what Shinji meant when he said "waste".He had already thought of two sets of rhetoric, but only wanted Astolfo to suffer less, so he chose "Knowledge with Reason".Now that his proposal was rejected, he immediately followed Shen Er's footsteps to "lure him for profit".

"I agree with Assassin's suggestion. Although we got the Red Berserker, according to Saber's description, our Lancer doesn't seem to be on our side. We have to guard against it."

Mentioning the female knight who was evenly matched with Siegfried, Vlad III's anger finally calmed down—it was indeed a big hidden danger, which must be taken seriously.

"Okay, Yu will follow your advice and give rider a chance."

Hearing these words, Shen Er's hanging heart was finally relieved.On the surface, he bowed again calmly, but he was sneering in his heart—the strength has become stronger, but the brain is not as good as it used to be. Let you be proud for a while, and you will be unlucky later.

Semiramis, Amakusa Shiro, don't let me down.

PS: Grand Duke—why do you think I am so unlucky?It really is a heartbroken song, where can I find a bosom friend.
