[FATEFGO] Master's Note

The part of the Rhone River in France that ends at Lyon.As an important military location for several generations, even at the end of the Rhone River, Wei Palace has already seen the checkpoint blocking the middle of the river from a distance, and there are also troops patrolling on the river bank, obviously surrounding the city of Lyon.

"Hey, Mr. Wei Gong can actually see so far away?" Shenmu Xiao said with some admiration.

You know, even if she stood on tiptoe and tried her best to lean out, all she could see was a horizontal line.

"I'm an Archer after all." He smiled and said very flatly.

After some observation and thinking, the earl said: "If you pass the checkpoint on this huge ship, it will be too eye-catching, and it may cause unnecessary vigilance. I think that before they notice it, change to a different ship." A small boat, or simply walking into the city of Lyon is a better choice."

"Can the count see that far? Wait..." Shen Muxiao suddenly thought of a sad fact, "Is it just me, an ordinary person, who can't see anything?"

Everyone was silent, but the sympathy in their eyes was undoubtedly the best answer to this question.

Shen Muxiao wailed, shook his head and sighed again and again.Gilgamesh couldn't bear to see her battered appearance, so he quickly comforted her.

"Master, you don't have to feel sad. As your servant, everything I can see with my eyes is what you see."

"That... Thank you Jill for your comfort. I just regret that I didn't bring the telescope here, and I didn't think about other things..." Shen Muxiao replied cautiously, for fear of accidentally stabbing his heart.

Fortunately, Gilgamesh didn't feel any embarrassment, but he was relieved that Shenmu Xiao didn't fall into depression.

After all, he didn't feel any embarrassment after he uttered his embarrassing so-called confession last night, let alone now.

Drake considered the earl's suggestion for a while, and finally chose to walk.

Of course, for Drake, abandoning the Golden Hind and choosing to walk to Lyon would definitely not be the best choice, and it would not even appear in her schedule.But compared to driving a small boat on a river that is not wide, of course she chose the former without hesitation.

"How uncomfortable it is to drive a small boat!" She said.

Now that the captain had made such a decision, it happened that the others had no objections, so Drake immediately parked the boat on the shore.After everyone disembarked, the Golden Deer disappeared into the air in an instant, leaving no trace of its existence, as if it had never appeared before.

According to the estimation of the Earl and Wei Gong, it takes about four to ten minutes to walk from the docked position to the heavily guarded place, which is not considered a long distance.

Before setting off, Shenmu Xiao stared at Artoria, thought for a while, and said, "Your attire seems a bit inappropriate."

"Oh? Can you tell me more about it?"

"Wearing armor and riding a horse will inevitably cause misunderstandings for those soldiers. It seems better if you can change into regular clothes."

There is also the crown on the head, but this is harmless, so Shen Muxiao didn't bring it up, because they can say that the crown is an oriental headdress, anyway, the soldiers wouldn't understand if they made it up.

"You are very thoughtful, and I understand what you mean."

While speaking, the armor on Artoria's body exuded silvery white and yellowish.In an instant, the black armor that originally wrapped the body turned into a dark purple sleeveless dress.The design of the skirt is very simple, but the decent tailoring and the high-quality fabric make this skirt look luxurious.Through the tulle at the hem of the skirt, Artoria's perfect leg shape can be vaguely seen.

But the beautiful legs are not what Shenmu Xiao pays the most attention to. Her restless gaze keeps going upwards, staying at an indescribable position.

Is there such a big difference from a girl to a woman?

Emiya subconsciously glanced at the same place.

Now he can be sure and won't call Arturia by the wrong name again, because... this is definitely not his cute Saber sauce! [strike out]

In the silence, Artoria spoke: "In my impression, this was the dress I used to wear. How about it, will it attract attention?"

It will probably be beautiful enough to attract attention.But Shenmu Xiao didn't dare to say this.

"This outfit is perfect. Alright, let's go!"

After saying that, Shenmu Xiao immediately turned his eyes away, and strode straight forward without looking back.

Looking at it further, she might be regarded as a hentai.

When they approached the checkpoint guarded by the soldiers, everyone stopped and decided to ask the serious French count to find out the news first.As for foreigners like them, let's observe carefully and secretly.

Suddenly it began to rain, and they simply stood under the tree to shelter from the rain.Although the rain will still fall from the gaps in the leaves, it is much better than standing unobstructed in the rain.

Before leaving, the count suddenly took off his cloak and put it on Shen Muxiao, not forgetting to put He's hat on her head.

A little too surprised, Shenmu Xiao choked all of a sudden, faltering and hawing, unable to say a word.

Seeing her wide-eyed and flattered look, the count couldn't help laughing."As a leader, it's important not to let the cold get worse," he explained.

"Well... thank you..."

Shenmu Xiao was quite moved—it is simply a fantasy to be cared about by idols!

Gilgamesh folded his arms on his chest, glared at the count fiercely, his little face was a little puffy.

Doesn't he know how to do such a simple trick as sending clothes?

Well... just... his clothes... are just a little small...

The count didn't notice the black air emanating from him, and he left in a hurry without even looking in the direction he was standing in.His inadvertent neglect made Gilgamesh even more angry. You must know that he had never been treated like this in his childhood, or in his adulthood.

Shen Muxiao accidentally caught a glimpse of his expression, and joked, "Are you sulking again?"

Gilgamesh raised his chin and replied arrogantly, "No!"

After waiting for a long time, the count returned.He brought extremely useful information.

Lyon is now managed and ruled by a revolutionary group called the Farentines. Recently, the national army has begun to attack Lyon in an attempt to capture it.Originally, due to internal and external troubles, the national army was unable to match the revolutionary army in terms of numbers and morale, but this time, the national army sent strange giant stone dolls as siege weapons. Every time the national army attacked, The Farentines were miserable.

"Big stone puppet? Maybe it's a puppet." Shenmu Xiao speculated, "Then, there is no doubt that Louis XVI has the support of followers. Are we allowed to enter the city of Lyon?"

The Count nodded.

Shen Muxiao didn't want to wait any longer, so without saying a word, he immediately set off.

Lyon is a troubled city, devastated roughly as much as Washington, D.C., or New York in a superhero movie.However, compared to the dilapidated scene seen last time, Lyon in this era is much better.

The speed of walking was really horrible, they simply bought a few horses, and in the evening, they finally came to the city wall at the junction of Lyon and Burgundy.

At the gate, there are many soldiers patrolling back and forth, and the army is also stationed in the nearby fortress.Roman told them that there was a residual magical reaction here, and he wanted to come here to the place where he had fought the puppet many days ago.

Seeing the tight defense, Shenmu Xiao couldn't help wondering whether they could leave the city smoothly.

The ground vibrated slightly, and the horses they were riding on became restless, pacing up and down, calling constantly.The patrolling soldiers on the city wall blew their horns, and Roman's panicked voice came from his ears.

"300 meters ahead, a large number of puppets are attacking!"

Hearing the sound of the horn, the scattered soldiers immediately gathered together, and a man in military uniform galloped out of the barracks on horseback and came to the front of the formation.He held a banner in his hand, which made Shenmu Xiao think of Joan of Arc.

The city gate opened slowly, and at this moment, the loud noise made by the puppet walking was already clearly audible.The man didn't say much, just raised the flag, kicked the horse's belly fiercely with both feet, and ran straight out of the city, and the soldiers followed his footsteps.

"At times like this, we should help them, master?" Gilgamesh asked knowingly.

"Of course."

Just as the soldiers closed the city gates desperately, they also left the city on horseback and followed the footsteps of the army.

The puppets sent by the national army seem huge and terrifying, but in fact they are not very flexible. They can only do some simple offensive actions. The only advantage is that they are extremely strong. Under the attack of the heroic spirit, nearly 100 puppets were all turned into stones.

"The magic power reaction disappears, and the puppets are confirmed to have disappeared."

After Roman said these words, the battle was declared over.

The soldiers stationed in Lyon were dumbfounded.They have only fought against the puppet two or three times, and they haven't figured out the puppet's attack routine yet.Originally, this time, they decided to put all their eggs in one basket and risk their lives to fight the puppet.Unexpectedly, the enemy has already been dealt with by a group of strangers before he even made a move.

The leading man with the banner approached and asked about their identities and the purpose of the move.

The Earl, who was the spokesperson, naturally wouldn't tell him the truth, and only said some half-truths and half-false words to prevaricate.

"I am George Fallentine, the leader of the Fallentine faction." The man introduced himself, "Thank you for repelling those stone men. It is getting dark and it may be dangerous to continue on the road. If you don't mind , you can spend the night in our army’s barracks.”

Shen Muxiao once speculated that his identity might be a general, perhaps a bold military adviser, but he never considered the possibility of a "revolutionary leader".With his courage alone, Shenmu Xiao thought that he was a trustworthy person, so he agreed to his proposal and returned to the border of Lyon City with him.

Along the way, they dug out a lot of useful information from George.

With Paris as the center, the national army has recaptured the surrounding areas originally occupied by various revolutionaries, including Burgundy, and exerted heavy pressure to exploit it openly. It is heard that the people are miserable.Georges was originally a member of the Girondists, but he didn't like the indecision of the Girondists, so he resolutely created a new revolutionary group based in his hometown of Lyon, but he hadn't had time to expand his power. He experienced the death penalty farce of Louis XVI and received the attention of Louis XVI.

It can be said that it is very unfortunate.

When asked what was different about Paris, George said he was not very clear, but he heard from his cousin who had served in the court that before Louis XVI’s anomaly occurred, the minister who had been in charge of the chamberlain for more than 20 years was suddenly replaced by a A man in his 40s with strange clothes.

Not long after sending this message, his cousin was put to death by the king for an inexplicable impeachment.

Shen Muxiao pretended not to be interested, but quietly wrote down this paragraph in his heart.When the soldiers fell asleep at night, she quietly slipped out of her room and called other people, including Roman, to discuss under the tree not far from the barracks.

According to George, the occurrence of the change is most likely from the "new Minister of Internal Affairs".Since the national army has golems, there is no doubt that there is a caster in Paris, but of course it may also be a magic assassin or archer?

Shen Muxiao tended to believe that there were at least two servants behind the king making trouble.

"I really want to fly to Paris!" Shen Muxiao exclaimed after some analysis.

"Don't even think about it." Roman shattered her illusion.

"I'm just talking casually..." She muttered softly, "But it should be possible to summon heroic spirits here, right?"

"Yes, yes, but what do you summon the heroic spirit for?"

"The border of Lyon is not peaceful. I want to send a Heroic Spirit to guard here. However, we don't have many people here. If we allocate one, it will inevitably be a bit difficult to get to Paris, so I plan to summon one here."

Shen Muxiao knew that her thoughts might be a little naive, and she couldn't help but be a little selfish - in other parts of this country, the flames of war were still spreading, but she didn't propose to place followers in those places to maintain balance.

Gilgamesh spoke before Roman said, "You can leave me in Lyon..."

"No." Shen Muxiao interrupted him, "You are my follower."

He froze for a moment.That's right, he still wants to be her shield, so he can't stay too far away from her.In order to show off for a while, I actually made a fool of myself.

There was no objection to the proposal to defend Lyon.Under Roman's guidance, Shenmu Xiaomian barely drew a very imperfect summoning array with branches.

Looking at the distorted circle on the ground, Gilgamesh considered it for a while and said, "Master, if you want to become an excellent magician, you must master the skill of drawing circles with your bare hands."

"I know!" Shen Muxiao wailed.

The temporary summoning at the singularity is not as rigorous as the summoning at Chaldea, but the spell must be recited.

Without a catalyst, there is no guarantee that any heroic spirits will be summoned.However, Roman assured her that such things as magic dresses would definitely not appear.

In the bitter night wind, seven pairs of eyes were fixed on the summoning array.

The smoke was blown away, revealing a small human figure.

"Assassin, Jack the Ripper is summoned. Mother."

"Please don't call me that!"
