Next, Shen Er, what's your business?

Chapter 608 The Truth of the Trial

"Trial? You mean this Holy Grail War?"

"Yes. Don't rush to show me face, I know you are upset, but listen to me."

Shirou waved his hand, signaling to Shen Er to stay calm.

"It's true that you're progressing very fast, but at your current speed, even if you were given 1000 years, you wouldn't be able to catch up with your teacher."

"So exaggerated?"

"It's just that exaggerated. Indeed, improving your strength is like climbing a mountain. The higher you go, the harder it is to walk, but the difficulty of walking does not mean standing still. Your teacher is not a fantasy species who has nothing to do all day and sneaks into the nest to sleep. Although she said "Where is the person who can kill me", but still insist on exercising every day, even if you only get stronger a little every day, you are still making progress. Don't say that you haven't reached her height yet, even if you have, Do you think you can walk faster than her?"

"..." Shen Er had nothing to say, and shook his head after a while and said, "I can't."

There are several major elements that determine the speed of strength improvement, talent, character, hard work, and luck.Except for the last point, Skaha is more than a bit better than Shen Er, and luck is too illusory, which can be met but not sought.Unless you are really lucky, let alone 1000 years, 1 years will be useless.

"So, if you really want to defeat her, conventional methods won't work. You must use something unconventional, such as origin and magic. Origin is the power that accumulates continuously, which can greatly shorten the time gap between you and your teacher. And magic It is a mystery beyond the standard, with infinite possibilities, Zhu Yue planted in the hands of the old man Gem is the best example."

"You are a little too cautious in your cultivation. You are not sure whether you have an 'origin' as a traverser, and you are afraid of being dominated by the impulse of origin, so you have been unwilling to dig deeper into this aspect. But you don't know the contract with Yustisa And Perseus's spirit descending has already activated your "origin". And your "origin" is related to the third magic, if you don't deliberately refuse, maybe there won't be so many twists and turns."

What Shirou said was sincere, but Shinji was not satisfied.

"So, what you did before was all for me to awaken 'Origin'? To comprehend my own magic? Then there is no need to use such an excessive method. It can be said well, as long as 'Jewel Man' speaks, I will definitely do it. "

"He—? He won't tell you. Just look at his abolished disciples and you will know his character. If you can't reach it, you are stupid—and it's not just about 'origin' and magic."

As he spoke, Shirou's expression sank.

"Before you were more like a madman who relied on the prophet's advantage and went on a rampage. You didn't suffer much, and you had a condescending sense of superiority. But you are not invincible after all, and those old monsters who have lived for thousands of years are also It’s not rubbish. If things go on like this, when the advantage of the prophet no longer exists, you will have problems sooner or later, and it will be a big problem that can kill you, and even your whole family. Do you think those old things can’t be done? No Everyone is as open-minded as the jewel old man."

"I……"

Shirou's words made Shen Er's face seep a layer of cold sweat.

Recalling my previous behavior, it was really like this.Perhaps at the beginning, because of his own weakness and uncertainty about the development of the situation, he was still cautious and quite vigilant.But later, with repeated calculations, his own strength and influence gradually increased, his mentality inevitably relaxed, and his actions became more and more casual. The survival of his subordinates made his mentality swell to the extreme, completely forgetting that without the secret help of the "jewel man", he might have died.

Continue to develop in this state, once the bigwigs among the 27 ancestors really pay attention to it, what will happen to me?You know, the world of Xingyue is far less beautiful than it looks in anime novels.

Looking at Shen Er's frightened look, Shirou finally showed a smile.

"do you understand?"

"understood."

Many times, people are so cheap that they can't listen to anything when they feel good about themselves.Only by beating up violently and shattering one's illusions and pride can one calm down and truly grow.

"It's good to understand. If you understand, you will pass this trial."

"What if, I mean if, what if I don't pass?"

"I didn't pass. Then I'm afraid that's all you can do for the rest of your life. You'll never reach the height of your teacher. At most, I'll let old gemstone look after me to keep you safe forever."

Shen Er lowered his head, his expression constantly changed, sometimes angry, sometimes depressed, sometimes sad, sometimes crazy, and finally turned into: "Thank you."

As Shirou expected, after passing this hurdle, there will be no hatred, at most resentment and dissatisfaction.Maybe the two can't be friends, but they won't be mortal enemies either.

"No need to thank you. Although the intention was good, I did a little too much in the process, maybe because I adjusted my mentality to be 17 years old. Speaking of it, I should thank you for not chopping me up just now. "

"I still have to say thank you, even if not for me, but for the home that doesn't have me."

A child who hasn't graduated from high school is going to work part-time, but why is it in Shirou's shop?The salary was also remitted to the parents in the previous life?Is it possible without Shirou's secret help?
This point just hit Shen Er's weakness.After all, he was not open enough to be flattered or humiliated. Even if Shirou was really doing it for his own good, he really couldn't accept this method.Even if there is no way to get him now, he will definitely come back with revenge in the future.

But with the kindness of secretly taking care of his parents, Shen Er will never retaliate, that is his biggest concern for his previous life, the family relationship he will never be able to part with, he hopes that they will be safe and happy, even if he is no longer around.

For the thank you this time, Shirou just smiled: "Didn't I say that? Good people get rewarded. You are a good person, so you have crossed over. She is a good person, so I will help her. I have helped you, and I have done it." Did something nice, so it paid off."

"Your return?"

"Yes, this store has special meaning to me, so I need a trustworthy person to take care of it when I am away. I originally wanted to call my sister over, but her existence form... Anyway, that girl saved me Lots of things. As for you—your very existence is a reward."

"Well, I'm a little confused."

"Listen to my slow explanation, and you won't be confused. As you know, there are many world lines in the moon universe, such as the world you are in that is paradoxical to "Fate zero", such as the "Fate apocrypha" outside, For example, the world of "Fate/Extra" where Mooncell is located. Some of these world lines are very similar, and some will have different developments, but no matter how they develop, for the earth and for human beings, they will usher in a common end— —”

Shirou poured wine into his mouth helplessly, while Shinji swallowed involuntarily, and said the name of the end in unison.

"——'Steel Earth'!"

PS: Although Xingyue World advocates love, friendship, and justice, the original "Tsukihime" and "Fate" games have far more badending than happyending.

PS2: FGO has mentioned the example of the ever-increasing master's strength. Today's big dog can kill the master of the year. However--the master has grown again, so the big dog has another tragedy.
