[FATEFGO] Master's Note

At night, Roja took Martin and Shenmu Xiao to the home of Martin, the original young Martin, and arranged for them to stay there overnight.He originally wanted them to live in his own house, but his room was too small, and there was no way to squeeze out any space for them to sleep.

Roja has never told anyone about Martin's death.Martin Luther King is based on this body, and also has the memory left in his brain. Even if he told others that Martin was dead, not many people would believe him. After all, Martin is the most agile here. , the young man with the greatest strength.

And Mrs. Robert, Martin's mother, was not young.Her health has always been poor. If she heard that her most beloved flesh and blood died, or was tortured to death by the Southern Army, it would be like stabbing a sharp knife directly into her heart.

After much consideration, Roja decided to hide the real situation and pretend nothing happened. After Shenmu Xiao recovered the Holy Grail and everything returned to normal, he would tell everyone the truth in another way.In this regard, the party Martin himself also agreed.

The house where Robert's family lived was a little far away, halfway up a small hill. Fortunately, the mountain road was not steep, so it was quite easy to walk.

There is no light in the house, and it is pitch black from a distance. With the wind in the forest at night, it looks like a haunted house.

The closer they got, the faster Martin's heart beat.Not because of fear, but because of a strange and indescribable sense of belonging.

The door was unlocked, so Roja pushed the door open and went in.

"Mrs. Robert, are you there?" he called into the room.

"Well, hearing this voice, it should be Roja."

A middle-aged woman held a candle, and with the other hand leaning on the wall, walked down the stairs slowly.

The range that the tiny candle in her hand can illuminate is limited, and only when the candle light is brought close to the object can it be seen clearly.Before she could go all the way down the stairs, she asked Roja anxiously, "Is Martin back?"

Roja choked for a moment, then quickly replied: "That's right, he came here with me."

Hearing Roja's words, Mrs. Robert's pretended calmness and traces of worry that were concealed were completely thrown away by her.She smiled so that her eyes narrowed, and the wrinkles carved by her early years were even deeper.She quickened her pace.

Mrs. Robert was not slender, she could even be said to be a bit bloated, and her body had not been in good shape. When she walked quickly to Martin's side, she was already out of breath, and she seemed to have exhausted all her physical strength.She threw her arms around Martin and squeezed his hands tightly.

"Today, my heart was beating weirdly, which made me always have a bad premonition, and I was scared all day long. But seeing that you are fine, I am relieved!"

Martin felt an inexplicable sense of guilt, but it didn't come from the guilt of invading the young man's body, but from seeing the atrocities committed by the three white Confederates but being helpless and unable to do anything.

The only thing he can do now is to hold Mrs. Robert's hands back, show Martin's usual smile, and softly say "I'm back".

Roja was afraid that Mrs. Robert would see something, so he hurriedly talked about the purpose of coming here.As for Shen Muxiao, he described him as a lost stranger.At this moment, he couldn't help but rejoice that Gilgamesh and the earl had already transformed into spirits and disappeared, otherwise how to fabricate their identities would be a big problem.

Mrs. Robert has always been hospitable. Hearing what Roya said, she immediately expressed her willingness to pay attention to Mu Xiao living here for a while.

In fact, this old house on the mountainside was originally just an old house that had been abandoned for a long time and no one lived in it. It did not belong to Robert's family. It was assigned to her after Roja decided to station the stability camp there.Although rudimentary, it was still livable after some repairs, and the vacated room was used by Mrs. Robert as a residence for black slaves who had nowhere to go.Just a few days ago, a female slave had found a place to move away, so Mrs. Robert arranged for Shen Muxiao to live in an empty room on the second floor.

When she reached the second floor, she caught a glimpse of several children curled up in the dim candlelight, reading books together.

"This place is really..."

As soon as Akatsuki stepped into the room, Gilgamesh couldn't wait to express his opinion.But probably because the environment here is so bad, even the hero king who has always been the best at picking and choosing is at a loss for words.

Shenmu Xiao secretly rejoiced that Gilgamesh was still in the state of spirit body in a sensible manner at the moment, and no one else could hear what he said except himself.She pretended not to hear anything, and was free only after the enthusiastic Mrs. Robert had left.

"The wall is all black, and there are so many cracks, A Xiao, aren't you afraid that the wall will suddenly fall down—well, although I will probably rescue you before it overwhelms you. There is also the floor, step on it It's crunchy when it goes up, and it can probably be made into a tune, but this king doesn't bother to listen to such vulgar music..." Gilgamesh was still talking to himself.

Shen Muxiao sighed: "It's better than living in the wild."

"Compared with the dungeon in Chateau d'If, this place can be called heaven." The count muttered to himself.

"This king isn't talking to you, why are you interrupting!"

Just by hearing the tone, one can imagine Gilgamesh's angry eyes.

"I'll give you back that too—I'm not talking to you either."

The familiar atmosphere of the Shura field pervaded again, and Shen Muxiao was completely used to this situation, and even didn't want to interfere in their relationship anymore.If she could find a button to block the sound of the two arguing, she would gladly press it.

After spending the night on the hard wooden bed, Shenmu Xiao was awakened by the crowing of a rooster.Putting on her coat, she went to the yard, took a deep breath of the morning air, sat down on the threshold, and watched Mrs. Robert working in the chicken coop.

Not long after Roja came to visit, seeing that his face was a little bad, his eyes were bloodshot, and Shen Muxiao guessed that he hadn't slept for about a night.After he greeted Mrs. Robert, he pulled Shenmu Xiao and Martin to a small corner to discuss the next plan.

The south is heavily defended, and the stone men Roja said are also wandering around Pennsylvania—this is one of the reasons why Pennsylvania and its north can persist for so long—it is not easy to go deep into the south, let alone the capital Richmond found out.

"I had contacted people from the Federal Army earlier, and I heard that they also had the idea of ​​a massive counterattack, so I discussed with them that the men who volunteered to join the army in the stability camp should be incorporated into the Federal Army to recover the lost ground together. Last night I learned that the Federal Army had already Leaving New Jersey, it is estimated that we will arrive here in two days. With the chaotic situation of the war, it should be relatively easy for you to enter the northern border. We did not have the power of heroic spirits, so we were always at a disadvantage, but this time you will join the battle , we will surely turn the tide of the battle.”

It sounds like a good idea to sneak under the eyes of the enemy when they are anxious about the battle, and the feasibility seems to be very high, but...

"After we leave, won't you who have lost the power of heroic spirits be beaten back to your original form?" This is the question that Shen Muxiao is worried about.

Roja had expected that she would ask this question, and he was thinking about this question last night.But he didn't find the answer.

He pursed his lips and pretended to be relaxed and said: "No matter how bad it is, we can last for a few days. If there is no other way, we will naturally retreat. Although you don't have enough time, I still hope you can solve it as soon as possible. everything."

His answer did not reassure Shenmu Xiao, but she still nodded.She thought it would at least reassure Roja.

The day when the federal army arrived at the station was a little earlier than Roja expected.The young men who are going to join the army have already prepared. When they pass by the army, they will pack their bags and follow the tail of the team, following the pace of the team.There were not many women in the station. Seeing that their family members were about to leave, they reluctantly followed the team for a long distance. They didn't wipe away the tears from their faces until they could no longer see the figure of that person.

Katina didn't cry, she probably believed that Roja would return safely.Martin's younger siblings huddled together, hugging Martin tightly, not wanting his beloved elder brother to leave, Mrs. Robert had to pull their clothes hard to let go.

Martin knelt down and kissed the foreheads of the children one by one, without saying a word.He didn't think he could make any promises, so he might as well stop talking big.

Gilgamesh finally reappeared as a materialized body after a long absence. Under the strong request of Shenmu Xiao, he reluctantly changed his most cherished golden armor and changed into an inconspicuous black clothes .

"I didn't expect you to look handsome in such clothes!" Shenmu Xiao said half-seriously and half-flatteringly.

Gilgamesh chuckled contentedly, and most of the slight dissatisfaction about being forced to change his clothes disappeared.For him, compliments are never enough.

After following the army day and night for two days, they finally arrived at the "land where the stone people live" as Roja said - the border of Gettysburg.

The moment you stepped into this area, the atmosphere changed instantly.The surroundings were terribly silent, and almost everyone subconsciously held their breath and slowed down their pace.

The early morning mist has not dissipated yet, through the gaps in the forest, Shenmu Xiao can see the dilapidated city walls beaten by the stone men.Obviously, this has become a decoration, and everyone knows that this kind of wreckage cannot resist the invasion of enemy troops.

"How much strength does it take to destroy the city wall like this?!" Shen Muxiao couldn't help but marvel, and she even became afraid of this "enemy" she had never met before.

Contrary to her confession, Gilgamesh didn't take the stone man to heart at all.

"It's just an idiot who can only use brute force. This kid Edmond can easily destroy them. It's not worth the king's use of the king's treasure."

At the same time as his words fell, the ground began to vibrate slightly, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from outside the city wall.Everyone squatted down and hid their figures behind the tree.

After a while, the sound was getting closer and closer.

All eyes were fixed on the southern wall.

A black figure broke through the mist, followed by a huge humanoid creature made entirely of off-white rock blocks.It's slow, but its size is intimidating enough.Coupled with a ferocious face, it can be described as a real monster.

Finally able to get a glimpse of the true face of the "stone man" that Roja spoke of, Shenmu Xiao couldn't help being a little excited.But her gaze was attracted by the target the stone man was chasing.

That black figure carried her familiar aura.

Avenger's unique breath.

"It's really a big trouble that can't be shaken off." Joan of Arc, who was running with all her strength, was speechless and muttered.

The author has something to say:

I heard the girl in the dormitory next door knocking on the door and shouting "Fu Wenpei open the door, don't hide inside and keep quiet" and asked her roommate to open the door for her hahahahahahahahahahaha
