I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

"Next, I will use all the strength I have accumulated as a thank you gift to you."

Shinji smiled as he pulled off his already torn shirt, revealing an unobvious but explosive upper body that was as well-proportioned as a cheetah.

In an instant, everyone felt that the young man in front of them was different.

Although he had a terrible record of killing twenty-seven ancestors before, there was nothing special about him except for his handsome appearance and slightly arrogant attitude. When not speaking, everyone's eyes would be focused on Erquet, Lorelaia or the female warrior, while subconsciously ignoring the young man around them.

Now, the boy is still the same boy, but the sense of existence erupting from his body actually overwhelms the three women who have already transcended common sense. Like a terrifying prehistoric beast, it wakes up from its slumber and displays its majesty.

That was the aura that a strong man who killed twenty-seven ancestors should have.

Feeling this momentum, the female warrior held the sword to her chest, displayed the etiquette of an ancient warrior, and asked in a solemn voice:

"Young man, tell me your name. This is the honor a warrior should have."

Shinji returned the favor with the courtesy of a long weapon, but shook his head.

"I refuse because you didn't tell me your real name."

You treat me with the courtesy of a warrior, and I will treat you with the courtesy of a warrior. This is a ritual inherited from Scathach. On the other hand, since you conceal your real name, I will not follow the etiquette of a warrior and declare my family name.

If Shinji had said this before the battle, the female warrior would have regarded it as an insult to a real soldier, and would have slashed at her without hesitation. However, she did not do this in front of another warrior who was qualified to talk to her as an equal. That was an insult to herself and the other party.

The female warrior hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why do you think I'm not Hephaestion?"

"The Conquering King Iskandar has commanded countless heroes. Seven of them are the most famous and most trusted by him. They are known as the 'Seven Attendants' in later generations. I once met the 'Seven Attendants', although they were a bit far away. , although I can’t match their names with people one by one, but I can be sure that you are not among these seven people, because they are all men!”

Even if he put aside the script, Shinji can be sure that these seven people are the closest to Iskandar in the king's army, and they are dressed differently from the surrounding warriors. Who else could it be if he weren't the seven valet?

After hearing Shenji's answer, the female warrior was silent for a few seconds before replying: "I didn't lie, Hephaestion is indeed my name."

"So far—"

Halfway through speaking, Shenji suddenly thought of something and looked strange.

"Ah - could it be that you are actually a man and changed your gender when you were alive? Wow, I have long heard that Macedonia has a bold style -"

"No!" A trace of anger flashed in the female warrior's gold and silver eyes, "I have not changed my gender, and I have never heard that heroic spirits can change their gender."

"That's because you are ignorant. Leonardo da Vinci, a famous artist in history, has a record of appearing in the image of Mona Lisa. The reason seems to be that he thought it was the ultimate beauty and a body worthy of his genius."

It seemed like I heard some big secret - by a group of bystanders.

There are actually such people? ——The female warrior showed such an expression and denied.

"I haven't changed my gender. I was this way when I was alive."

"I think I know your identity."

A voice rang out from the crowd of spectators, and Weber walked out.

"You are not Hephaestion. You may have used her name, but you are not him, at least not in terms of summons."

"So, who do you think I am?" The female servant's body trembled slightly, she asked with a cold face and a gloomy voice.

"I once summoned Iskandar during the Holy Grail War. However, the appearance of 'him' did not match the legendary Iskandar. In the legend, he was short in stature, but what appeared in front of me was that he was over two feet tall. A tall muscular man. Even if it may not have been the case when he was young, his hair and eye color were obviously vermilion, which is far from the legend. According to the literature, Iskandar's hair color was golden or black. His eyes were It is also described as one eye being as deep as the night sky, and the other eye being like a gold and silver demon pupil (Hecterochromia) reflecting the blue sky.”

"...That's not true!!!" Gray gasped as she followed Weber, never leaving.

"Yes, this is the woman I'm talking about. I should call you Iskandar when summoning. That holy relic cannot summon other heroic spirits. But because of the different summoning classes, the summoned one is different from the real Iskandar. The specious existence of Kandar is an existence that naturally appears next to the ancient royal family who are associated with assassinations and wars.”

Weber stretched out his hand, pushed up his glasses, and pointed at the female servant with his finger.

"You are the afterimage of the king - the shadow warrior of Iskandar."

The term Kagemusha comes from Japan. During the Warring States Period in Japan, life was like a dream, and life was precarious. However, the life safety of a country's lords could affect the death of their own people, so the lords looked for people with similar looks everywhere to serve as their substitutes to protect their own safety. life safety. This type of lord substitute is called a shadow warrior.

Of course, similar existences have existed for a long time. From ancient times to the present, it is not uncommon to see them from east to west.

For example, the female version of Uesugi Kenshin and Kenshin's sister Naoe Ai in a parallel world - ahem, it seems that something terrible has been exposed, so cross it out and start over.

For example, the female version of Uesugi Kenshin and Kenshin's sister Aya Gozen in a parallel world often play interchangeably - well, this seems to be exposed.

Forget it, never mind, in short, many celebrities in history have Kagemusha, and many artistic creations were born from this.

Iskandar in the moon-shaped world also has such a shadow warrior, but it is not out of his own will. Such a bold and straightforward king, who lives more vividly than anyone else, would never take the initiative to choose a shadow warrior to replace him. Take risks.

Everything was arranged by Iskandar's mother, Olympias.

She was an extremely terrifying woman, an ambitious conspirator, an unfathomable witch, and a temptress who had many things in common with Morgan and Semiramis!

This woman had everything planned out before she married King Philip II of Macedon. First, through some unknown method, I asked Zeus, the king of gods in Greek mythology, who had an extremely chaotic life style, to borrow a seed to conceive the son of god. This child became the conquering king Alexander III and Iscan who later conquered all nations. Dahl.

After becoming pregnant with Iscandar, Olympias used Zeus's name to start building momentum. Before the child is born, let the impression of the Son of God, the born King, sink into the hearts of the people. After the child was born, she began to teach him various emperor studies in order to make him an unparalleled king.

Not only that, Olympias also secretly prepared a right and left hand for Iskandar, for which she chose a pair of twins.

PS2: Come on, veterans, do you all know those two exposures? In fact, there is one who cannot be counted as a Kagemusha.
