I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Hearing Semiramis's words, both Achilles and Atalanta showed puzzled expressions at the same time. Shakespeare, who understood the characteristics of this Noble Phantasm, smiled even more happily when he saw the two people's reactions, while Karna still maintained a calm posture. Shirou, the only Master present, said to Semiramis with some anticipation:

"Assassin, stop being so pretentious and let us experience it ourselves."

"Hmm... Master, you seem to be quite passionate."

"Because I'm a man."

That’s it—Semiramis expressed his understanding, and then pressed his hand on the gem set in the armrest of the throne. Instantly, the ground began to tremble slightly.

Is it an earthquake? The followers all looked at each other. However, the vibrations began to gradually increase...and then suddenly stopped.

"Haha, look outside."

As Semiramis laughed, everyone except her ran out of the throne room and came to the outside. The earthquake just now was obviously a phenomenon intentionally caused by Semiramis. But for what reason?

"What--!?"

Achilles and Atalanta were speechless, while Shakespeare was moved. Even Karna, who had always been calm, opened his eyes slightly and looked down.

The stone-paved floor upon which they stood—beneath it only a vast space opened.

In other words, they are in a state of floating in mid-air - this vanity garden is literally floating in the air!

"Are you surprised? Of course, in terms of speed, it can't be considered fast."

Assassin instilled a hint of pride in these words.

Assyrian queen Semiramis. Her Noble Phantasm, "Vanity's Sky Garden", is like a sky fortress. But it is impossible to manifest it through magic. First, materials such as stone and wood from a specific area must be collected.

After collecting the materials, Assassin performs a long ritual before the Noble Phantasm is fully formed. This is because the historical Empress Semiramis did not actually build the Hanging Garden.

She had never actually seen the Sky Garden. However, she knew that this had been engraved in her memory as a fantasy, and she also had this physical feeling. Although it was a mysterious phenomenon that was repaired later, the impression of "a sky garden built by the world's oldest assassin and the legendary empress" was so strong that I acquired this Noble Phantasm.

In order to manifest this precious phantom, it is first necessary to collect real materials based on this real world - the wood, stone, minerals, plants and water of the land where she used to live.

She reassembles the collected things and uses rituals to achieve the real fantasy. That is false reality, a Noble Phantasm that is absolutely impossible to exist.

Therefore, it was given the name "Vanity". To those who know the truth, it will only become a subject of ridicule. But vanity doesn't necessarily mean vulnerability. No, at the moment when materials are collected to complete the Noble Phantasm, at least in this era, vanity has turned into reality.

However, this garden wrapped in a fantasy coat is much more exaggerated than reality, almost to the point of absurdity.

"Well everyone, the general attack time is set for this evening, please be prepared."

Everyone was silent. Of course, it's not because of fear. Just because they felt that the war was coming, their hearts surged with raging fighting spirit.

◇◇◇

Unlike the masters and slaves on the red side who are ready to do something big, the daily lives of the masters and slaves on the black side are still so orderly.

The Fiore team and the Cowles team were resting in their respective rooms after a hard night's work.

Vlad III and Darnik were playing chess among the kings while talking about last night's battle.

Gold flew to the forest outside the city with Sieg again, and he was so mysterious that he didn't know what he was doing.

Roger and Avisbron still stay in the workshop and continue their work of making golems.

Luo Xie never doubted that his side would win this Holy Grail War. In his opinion, this battle had absolutely no suspense.

Black Berserker, Black Saber, Black Archer, Black Assassin, plus the combination of himself and Caster - with this lineup, he has the confidence to defeat the opponent no matter who he is. To be more precise, he should be confident that he can create a golem that can defeat his opponent.

Black's masters have a very low opinion of the golem. Of course, the golem was indeed shattered by Red Saber's blow. However, those are just golems used as sentinels. Although it is no worse than other golems in terms of ability, its main purpose is to detect and report after all, rather than being a combat-focused type. If it were a golem that could display its original fighting ability, it would never be defeated so easily.

Of course, they will still be defeated in the end, but after all, there are hundreds of demons. If there were only ten or twenty golems, Saber might not be injured, but what would be the result if she was attacked by more than a hundred golems?

Although he knew that thinking this way was just an idea on paper, the possibility was definitely not low.

However, in fact, if he wanted to use the golem to capture Saber alive, this expectation would be too high - he himself knew this very well.

The problem lies in Caster's anti-war noble phantom "Crown·Light of Wisdom". Of course, Caster's Noble Phantasm is speculated to be a golem. But when it comes to its specific stance, Caster is unwilling to say it clearly for some reason.

That's because I'm immature - I hope that's the case. However, from his words, it can be inferred that it is a being with a huge body. Then, Caster told himself this.

——That devil is by no means an invincible being.

——On the contrary, it must be engraved with the method of death.

——The golem I made will gain life. Because of this, there will also be death.

——The golem is not just a technique that makes the clay doll move. Golems are creations of life...that is, imitations of primitive humans.

That is the existence that Caster regards as his target. For Luo Xie, who only thought about how to create a more powerful golem, the impact of Caster's idea was too great.

I really want to help him, and if I can't, I at least want to be there to watch. To be honest, the Holy Grail War was nothing more than a hindrance to Luo Xie. However, without the fight over the Holy Grail, he would not have been able to personally experience the miracle of summoning heroic spirits, and of course he would not have been able to meet the Black Caster, Avisbronn.

Therefore, there is no way to fight. However, he clearly wanted to learn more knowledge from him, but the time for the Holy Grail War was too short - for this reason, Luo Xie had already decided on his wish.

Let the Black Caster gain a physical body——that is his wish. And Caster also has a wish that he wants to realize in this world. In this case, as long as I can help him, I will be satisfied.

Black Caster listened to Luo Xie's wish and said "thank you". The bland attitude remained unchanged, and the teaching methods did not become softer.

However, only the minds are connected. Just understanding this is already a great gain for Luo Xie.

Until now, he had never thought that communicating with others could be so interesting. What's more, the other party is a being that I respect from the bottom of my heart, which makes this feeling even stronger. Luo Xie's parents have always been indifferent to him. No, although the tradition of the Freyn family is to raise children with golems, there is nothing that can be done about it, but other than that, he does not feel the love from his parents.

Maybe that's necessary for a magician. Love for family can sometimes become an obstacle on the road to exploring magic. In this case, it would be better not to give him such a thing from the beginning - at least this is the policy adhered to by the Freyn family.

Moreover, Roche is the most talented child since he was incorporated into the Yggdomilenia clan.

Luo Xie himself also has this understanding. When he was interpreting the many secret books passed down by his ancestors with painstaking efforts, he felt incomprehensible as to why it took so long to explain such a simple thing.

Then the genius was called upon. Luo Xie was impressed by the other party at first, and then regarded the other party as an object of worship. That was on the same level as himself... No, maybe he was just a super genius who deliberately lowered his status to cater to his own level.

It's really disrespectful to use him or something. You are the one who must accept his guidance. Then one day in the future, I must see with my own eyes the scene when his wish is finally realized.

In order to achieve this goal, I am willing to do anything. If a human life is needed, no matter how many, it will be found for him. Even if it is something that will harm the interests of the clan, he is happy to do it.

Because there is nothing we can do about it. It’s all about what we have to do to achieve our dreams as teachers….

Just like that, the youngest Master looked at his servant and smiled longingly. But he didn't know that he actually didn't understand Avisbronn who was right in front of him. That man had never thought about things related to humans from beginning to end. All he cared about was completing the Noble Phantasm, and for this he would ignore anything. Sacrifice hesitantly.

◇◇◇

As for the last Master, she was furious.

——It’s so hateful.

Serenekai twisted her exquisite beauty angrily and walked forward with clattering footsteps in the corridor. No matter how much she tortured Astolfo, he always showed a playful smile, which made her feel extremely depressed.

Although the delicious food was right in front of her, she had no luck enjoying it. Not only was it impossible to eat, but even when I stabbed it with a fork, it was so hard that I couldn't even bite it.

For Serenekai, who was raised by old women who were black magicians, patience and torture are completely synonymous. The only thing she can tolerate is magic-related things.

If there was anything that could distort that straight face, it would be bringing back the android that Rider let go. If Rider could gouge out his eyes, cut off his arms, cut off his tongue, dig out his intestines and let him eat it himself, Rider would probably lament in despair.

I really want to see that expression on his face. Anyway, I'd love to see it. As long as she could see Estolfo, the cutest of the famous twelve warriors of King Charlemagne, with a twisted expression of despair, she didn't care even if she died.

——At the same time, she felt that the android who completely stole Rider's mind was extremely hateful.

Ever since the Black Rider was summoned, Serenekai had something that she couldn't get no matter how much she desired it.

That's probably what's called love. To be dear, to be loving, and to be joyful because of it - was a completely incomprehensible emotion to Selenikai.

Why doesn't he turn this thing on himself? It's really hateful that there are only lives as fragile as mayflies.

Originally, she wanted to launch a thorough search. Selenike not only has strong magic skills, but also has the trait of being more persistent than anyone else in the Yggdomilenia clan. Now, to her, the androids were no different than vermin. Moreover, it is a type of pest that must be completely eliminated and eradicated.

However, no matter what, it is impossible to go all out just to find a homunculus. Using Selenikai's black magic, it is actually not impossible to find him. But a considerable amount of preparation work needs to be done for this, and the most fatal problem is that the missing artificial man is also an excellent magician.

As the saying goes, a mouse with no way to escape will bite a cat. It is no joke if the other party bites him in the end. As for artificial humans, we can only wait until this war is over.

Seeing Rider's depressed expression, she wanted to do something extreme even more. I really wanted to ravage him, really wanted to humiliate him, really wanted to drive him into despair - Selenikai finally suppressed this evil impulse. As long as this war is over, as long as this war is won, there will be no problem.

After defeating the red side, he simply gave up his wish and fighting, and used three command spells to torture Rider until he died.

Probably because she was too anxious, she bumped into an android while walking. The boy who was responsible for delivering meals looked down and said "I'm sorry" with a vacant look in his eyes.

Just use him - Selenikai decided.

"You, follow me for a moment."

An android has no right to refuse, and Serenekai will certainly not show mercy to an android who is a servant. Furthermore, consumption is a virtue of the magician.

So, Selenikai decided to vent her accumulated sullenness with a wicked entertainment method that even magicians looked down upon.

PS: Come on, the market is open, what kind of ending do you hope this girl will have? ——Please think in the current strict environment of online articles and give reasonable suggestions.

PS2: Of course, the concept of phantoms is not the nonsense of a treacherous young man. It is well documented that Shakespeare can create phantom puppets. These are all products that appear in FG0 Chapter 1.5, Chapter 1, and it is also in this chapter In this chapter, Shakespeare's combat effectiveness has been qualitatively improved. Those who are interested can take a look at the plot. There are full dialogue translations online. Although most people's eyes are focused on Heidi and Heizhen after changing their costumes, the traitor still finds these new concepts more interesting.
