[FATEFGO] Master's Note

Shen Muxiao said Gilgamesh's eyes looked over, only seeing layers of forest and leaves, but did not see any figure.

"I always feel that he can't be a bad person..." she muttered, "poisoned the soldiers on the city wall and cut off the hemp rope hanging Roja. Since he appeared, he doesn't seem to have done anything bad. If you're really worried, why don't you go and have a look?"

"Let Monte Cristo go, my king doesn't have that much time to spare." Gilgamesh twitched his lips, "You have time to think about this kind of thing, why don't you go and bandage the wound quickly. Hurry up, don't go again At the doctor's place, don't want your hand."

He said, nudging her to move on.

"understood."

She quickened her pace.The count appeared and walked towards the place Gilgamesh had looked at earlier.However, Avenger obviously didn't understand the true meaning of sneaking like Assassin, he directly approached the forest to investigate—in fact, the Earl also did some work of hiding his body, but it didn't have much effect.

The result of his aboveboard search was naturally predictable. The mysterious heroic spirit holding the bow had already fled to nowhere.The earl had no choice but to go back angrily.

After simple disinfection and bandaging, Shenmu Xiao's wound was temporarily stopped bleeding.Her injury looked scary, but in fact it was not serious enough to the terrible level described by Gilgamesh that "if it is not treated in time, it will lead to excessive bleeding and muscle necrosis".

Maybe it was because she didn't sleep all night, before the wound was fully bandaged, she fell asleep lying on the table.She was so dazed that she didn't know how long she had slept, when she suddenly felt that someone was patting her on the shoulder.

She sat up straight suddenly, and the blanket draped over her shoulders slipped down. Fortunately, Gilgamesh caught it in time to prevent it from falling to the ground.

Shen Muxiao rubbed his eyes vigorously.Her eyelids were terribly swollen, and she could barely keep them open.

"Awake? Then come out, it's time for cremation."

Gilgamesh said, and walked outside.Shen Muxiao hurriedly stood up from the chair, trotting behind him.

Shen Muxiao originally thought that he just slept for a while, but he didn't expect to find that it was already dusk when he got out of the tent.Following in the footsteps of Gilgamesh, she came to an empty plain.

A pile of logs was erected in the middle of the plain, and the bottom layer of logs was scorched black, as if it had been burned several times.There were also burn marks in several places on the grass.

Roja was lying in the middle of the wood pile, the blood stains on his body had been washed away, and the blood-stained military uniform had been taken off, and he was changed into a plain white robe.

Without the cover of blood stains, the wounds on his body looked more prominent.Shen Muxiao turned his eyes away, unwilling to look.

Joan of Arc and Martin had returned at some point, and were standing opposite each other.Black Joan held the flagpole tightly, and she stared at Roja's body with a terribly dignified expression.

In fact, the keel soldiers have already been wiped out, and the tragic ending of the entire army's destruction has been avoided at the checkpoint.But on the way back, they encountered a huge barrier that blocked their way, and finally succeeded in smashing the barrier under the continuous attack of a group of flying dragons.

After returning, he got the news of Roja's death.

Gilgamesh folded his arms around his chest and said, "The rest of the corpses have been incinerated, and he is the only one left. I guess that with your character, you will definitely want to come and have a look, so I woke you up."

"Thank you..." Her voice was too soft to hear.

Gilgamesh squinted at her.

"Nothing." He said lightly.

Akatsuki Shenmu boldly looked up at Roja's body for a while.

"So, what is the cause of Mr. Roja's death?"

"Being tortured, he lost too much blood, and died of torture." Gilgamesh spit out these words word by word, and suddenly sneered, "I heard that covering up black people is an unforgivable original sin, that's why he was treated like this. This kind of excuse for his own tyranny, it just makes me laugh."

Shenmu Xiao couldn't laugh like Gilgamesh, she couldn't even control her facial muscles, she could only freeze her expression.Something seemed to be stuck in her throat, and she couldn't speak.

Soldiers poured oil to support the combustion and set fire to the woodpile.The flame rose instantly and rushed towards Roja with an irresistible momentum.

The air was filled with acrid black smoke, and the jumping flames were as scarlet as the western sky.

Black Joan's eyes were still focused on Roja, but her eyes seemed a little hollow.She bit her lower lip tightly, not letting that memory—that memory that didn't belong to her, but was equally real, appear.

Burning firewood crackled harshly.

It wasn't until late at night that the flames died down.Black Joan went to various places, and Martin and Shen Muxiao each held a soft brush and a wooden box to collect ashes.

"It turns out that the ashes are not like powder, but fine bone fragments. It seems that I was deceived by the TV series-raising the ashes by the sea and watching them drift away with the wind. Such a scene seems unreal."

The movement of the hand is a pause.

"Mr. Roja's ashes, send one to Brant's house in Virginia, and one to Katina... Ah, how should I tell her the bad news, she is still pregnant..."

"...Do you want to take a break? Master, you don't look well." The count asked aloud.

Shen Muxiao shook his head.

"Get out of your depression quickly! You may face this problem soon." Gilgamesh said sternly, "Invading Richmond is just around the corner."

Shen Muxiao was taken aback for a moment, but after carefully chewing his words, he suddenly laughed.This may be the truth, or it may be just what Gilgamesh said to coax her, but it doesn't matter.

Importantly, their target is Richmond.Nothing could be more foolish than staying in the present moment.

"I've been waiting for this day!"

Her eyes that were swollen from crying were extremely clear, and there was no longer any haze.Gilgamesh pursed his lips in satisfaction.

The ashes of a person are much more than expected, almost filling the two wooden boxes.Martin removed the pile of wood, and walked back to the barracks with Shen Muxiao holding the urn.

Back at the barracks, Martin was about to go to the general to discuss the next battle plan, but he was called by the general first.Even Akatsuki Shenmu, who had never had much contact with the general, was called over.

Shen Muxiao was surprised, but also a little alert.It was rare for her to bring the earl and Gilgamesh at the same time, and followed Roja to the general.

Beside the general stood a strange black woman.She covered her head and most of her face with a piece of red sackcloth, making it difficult to see her face clearly.

Seeing that the two had arrived, the general first invited them to sit down, and then introduced the origin of this woman: "She claimed to be from the village that Roja was in charge of, and other soldiers also proved this. She traveled for a few days, riding a horse When I came here, I asked her if she was okay, but she concealed and refused to tell me. She only told me that she wanted to see Roja and you two. You know, Roja has... so I can only come to you .”

The general shrugged helplessly.

The woman gave the general a slight nod, thanking him for explaining her origins.

She removed the sackcloth, revealing the blue tattoos on the sides of her cheeks and on her chin.In the memory of young Martin, she is a woman who lives in the east of the village, but she has always been taciturn and dislikes socializing with others, so young Martin does not know her name.

She kept kneading the linen nervously, avoiding everyone's eyes, and whispered: "I bring a piece of news, which may be useful to you."

Her gaze turned to Shenmu Xiao, but she quickly retracted it.

"Actually, I am a wizard—although it may sound like a lie to you, it is indeed true." She continued, "If you don't want to believe it, that's all. But next, I It must be said!"

Just by her tone of voice, you could tell she wasn't joking.

"I would like to hear the details." Martin said seriously.

"Is such that……"

The wizard took out an old and yellowed parchment from his pocket, covered it on the map, and took out a small cloth bag and a few candles.

She lit candles and placed them around the map.Then, she pinched a small handful of black/fire/powder from the cloth bag and sprinkled it on the parchment.

The surrounding temperature inexplicably dropped a few degrees.

She said a spell.With the loud voice, the candlelight began to flicker violently, and the black/fire/powder on the parchment actually moved slowly across the paper with her voice, and finally stopped at a point.

The wizard stopped the spell and blew out the candles.She made a shallow mark where the black/fire/powder was last piled up, and put away the black/fire/powder and candles.

Everyone was shocked by this action.

The wizard calmly took out the map under the parchment, and drew a cross at a certain point on the map with a pen—it was the corresponding mark on the parchment.

"Here—in the southern valley, there lives a wise man." She pointed to the cross on the picture, "He will be the best assistant and the key to winning this melee. If you can find him, it will be like won."

The last sentence was said to Shen Muxiao.

Her eyes as deep as obsidian seemed to be able to see directly into Shen Muxiao's heart.Shen Muxiao was startled, and asked back: "How can you be sure? Who is the wise man you speak of?"

"I can't figure out his identity." She shook her head helplessly, "but he is a powerful person. It is precisely because of his existence through divination that I decided to come and tell you."

Martin stared at the map for a long time.The location drawn by the wizard is at the junction of Denver and Virginia, not far from where they are now, but the location is too broad, and it is really difficult to find it.

Moreover, God knows if what she said is also one of the Southern Caster's tricks.

They have been played by the southern caster more than once, so they are naturally a little wary of anything.

"The wise man...the mysterious caster..." El-Melloi II murmured in front of the screen.

The news has been conveyed, the wizard bowed and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, she seemed to have thought of something, and said to Shen Muxiao: "Victory will belong to you—as long as you recognize yourself. This is also one of the results I have obtained from divination." She paused, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "But I'm old, maybe the result of the divination may be biased, so I'd better rely on myself, little girl."

She turned around to go, but was stopped by Shen Muxiao.

"Wait a minute, I have a gracious request."

"Ok?"

"The news of Roja's death, please don't tell others... please..."

"My old bones are fine and I don't want to bother Katina."

After saying this with a smile, she stepped on the horse and disappeared into the night.

The author has something to say:

It’s almost time to write about the caster in the south, and I realized that the original candidate was not suitable in all aspects, so I had to overthrow and re-elect emmm, I’m an idiot

Gentlemen, let’s guess who the wise man is, and if you guess right, send a red envelope slightly larger than usual~
