[FATEFGO] Master's Note

Suddenly being dragged above the clouds without any warning, Shenmu Xiao choked his throat in fright, not to speak a complete sentence, he couldn't even make a whimper.

She is not afraid of heights, but being taken up into the sky without any protective measures, no matter who she is, she will feel terrified.

It was unavoidably cold at high altitude, and her fingertips were so frozen that she lost her sense of touch.When the beating of the heart was no longer so crazy, Shenmu Xiao tried to raise his head, trying to see clearly who was sitting on the back of the giant bird.However, the fluffy gray-black feathers of the giant bird were everywhere, completely covering the figure of the man.

But vaguely, she seemed to see the man's dark red cloak being lifted by the wind.

But it's really impossible to judge the identity of that person just by this cloak.

In order not to let his voice dissipate in the gust of wind, Shenmu Xiao raised his voice and asked: "Hey, who are you..."

"Shut up." He interrupted her coldly.

In order to keep Shenmu Xiao from making a sound, he simply dropped the scabbard and hit Shenmu Xiao's head impartially, making her faint in a very rough way.

The giant bird swooped down and brought back the fallen scabbard.

He took the scabbard from the bird's beak, patted the giant bird's head, and praised: "Well done, Hippogriff. Fly faster, and hurry back to the emperor."

As if it understood the words, the giant bird gave a long cry and accelerated its speed.

It was blank, and her existence could not be found.

As if all senses had been cut off, Gilgamesh couldn't feel the presence of Akatsuki at all.

Ordinarily, as long as there is an existence between the master and the servant, it is not difficult for Gilgamesh to perceive where Shenmu Xiao is.Even if there is really a considerable distance between the two, Gilgamesh can more or less estimate which area she is in.

But he couldn't feel anything.Probably something called the inherent enchantment is quietly causing trouble again.

Gilgamesh really hated the inherent barrier.

In vain, he circled around in the air for a long time and still got nothing, so he had no choice but to return to the original place angrily.The clay figurine that appeared out of thin air turned into a small pile of clay as if receiving orders after Shenmu Xiao was taken away by someone of unknown origin, and stopped moving.

As if to vent his anger, Gilgamesh stepped on those mounds of dirt casually.

Liu Xiu, who hadn't seen Gilgamesh for a long time, was worried that Gilgamesh had also been taken captive with Shenmu Xiao, and seeing that he finally appeared, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and walked towards him.

"Have you found Ah Xiao?"

She leaned forward and looked behind him, but there was no one there.

Gilgamesh said nothing.His mood was so bad that he didn't even care about what Liu Xiu called Shen Muxiao anymore.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Liu Xiu became a little anxious.She pushed Gilgamesh and said anxiously, "Hey, you are Acher! Use your clairvoyance to see?"

"If I can see it, I'll go find her, my lord. Can you keep talking beside me?"

Liu Xiu pursed her lips and stopped speaking.Gilgamesh was right, she couldn't refute it.

Gilgamesh glanced at her.

"This king thinks that Ah Xiao can only be in Xianyang."

"Then why didn't you chase after Xianyang, but came back instead?" Liu Xiu asked him back.

Gilgamesh coughed twice, without changing his face, he said, "I don't know which direction Xianyang is in."

Liu Xiu was momentarily at a loss for words.She raised her right eyebrow and asked with some uncertainty, "So you asked me to lead the way?"

"exactly."

"You guy..."

Liu Xiu gritted her teeth angrily.

Dare Gilgamesh regard her as a guide?Hey, hey, she's a king after all, isn't she shameless?

Liu Xiu wanted to have a good argument with Gilgamesh, but when she thought that Shenmuxiao was still missing, she chose to put this idea behind, after all, finding Shenmuxiao is the most important thing now.

"Then let's go, I will take you to Xianyang."

When Shen Muxiao woke up, what he saw was darkness.

If it wasn't for a cluster of dancing flames, she really thought she was blind.

She struggled to get up.The place where the back of her head was hit by the scabbard hurt badly. She raised her hand to touch it and found that place was slightly swollen.

She sighed helplessly: "What a rough guy..."

The straw under his body was a little damp, and there was a damp and rotten smell in the air.The coldness penetrated into the bone marrow, Shen Muxiao shuddered, she stood up quickly, and barely stabilized her body.

This place is obviously underground.

After her eyes gradually became familiar with the dim environment here, and she could see things a little more clearly, Shenmu Xiao began to explore the surroundings.

She seemed to be locked in a small cell about two meters square, with no bed and no windows.Under the straw was a slightly damp soil floor, not covered with green bricks, nor cement floor—but it seemed that there was no such thing as cement in this era, she thought.

There is muddy ground under his feet, which is good news for Shen Muxiao.This meant that she could dig a tunnel to the outside world, as the Earl had done.

However, the Taidao that she has been carrying around seems to have been taken away, and she does not have any sharp weapons on hand, which means that she does not have any tools to dig the ground for the time being.

What's more, she didn't know how far the tunnel should be dug, and whether there were soldiers stationed outside.

The most important thing is that the tunnel in the Chateau d'If took several years to dig out with the joint efforts of the earl and priest Faria.It is estimated that before Shenmu Xiao dug a hole, he would have died here.

Thinking of this, Shenmu Xiao still chooses not to choose the way of escape by digging a tunnel to escape in a whimsical way.

Leaning her back against the wall, she sighed weakly: "Oh, what should I do..."

"you're awake?"

Accompanied by a familiar voice, the footsteps of Xisuo came.

Shen Muxiao trembled suddenly, she immediately stood up straight.

Akatsuki Shenmu would never forget this voice—she would not easily forget the guy who knocked her unconscious with the scabbard.

The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, step by step, as if stepping on her heart, Shen Muxiao couldn't help feeling a little flustered.She took a deep breath, trying to calm her irregular heartbeat.

He stopped outside the cell and lit a torch.The flames were actually not bright, but to Shen Muxiao who was used to the darkness, it was already very dazzling.Subconsciously, she raised her hand to cover her eyes.

He inserted the torch into the iron groove on the wall, dragged the chair beside him a little closer, and sat outside the cell, watching Shenmu Xiao's every move.

With such a living person closely monitoring his actions, Shenmu Xiao felt awkward at first.She deliberately stood in the corner, lowered her head to avoid his sight, trying to give some sense of security.

Being in such a small cell, Shen Muxiao's every move could not escape his eyes, in fact, Shen Muxiao himself knew this.

I don't know how long this stalemate lasted, Shenmu Xiao felt that his legs were so sore that he could no longer support his own weight, so he changed his consciousness and sat on the ground.

Akatsuki Shenmu was somewhat curious about the appearance of this rough man who was watching him.She raised her eyes and looked at him without any trace.

The more she looked at Shenmuxiao, she always felt that this face was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, but Shenmuxiao was sure that she had never seen such a person.

Could it be because his hairstyle is somewhat similar to that of Joan of Arc, so it gave her this illusion?

maybe.But his looks are really too familiar.

If his hair color were not gray and white, then he would erase the sternness in his eyes and add more smiles at the corners of his mouth, he would be exactly the same as someone from Chaldea.

But the one in Chaldea, why did he come here out of nowhere?What's more, Fujimaru Tatsuka has always been a little strict with her servants, and she would not easily allow them to go around easily.

Shen Muxiao tried to refute his own thoughts, but it was undeniable that the looks of the two were too similar.

"Are you... Charlemagne's Twelve Warriors, Astolfo?" She asked tentatively in a low voice.

He looked straight into Shenmu Xiao's eyes, but didn't say anything, obviously he didn't want to answer this question.

"Isn't it?"

He still doesn't speak.

His reaction made Shenmu Xiao feel that the direction of his guess was correct.She asked unwillingly: "Astolfo, I have been in contact with you. But I always feel that the you in front of me are different from Astolfo in Chaldea."

"Of course it's different—how can I be like that guy whose rationality has evaporated."

His tone was so flat that it was almost indifferent, with some sense of sarcasm mixed in.

"You guessed my name, but I'm not that Astolfo."

Shen Muxiao had a bad feeling.She has also encountered this kind of person who denies herself.

To be precise, generally followers with Alter traits will have preferences that deny themselves.

"Are you kidding, Alter version of Astolfo?"

He stopped answering her questions.He stood up and put the chair back in place.

"Working hours are over. He's coming soon."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left the dungeon, even though Shen Muxiao yelled again, he didn't look back.

The Saber-order Astolfo Alter is the opposite of the Rider-order Astolfo—a symbol of absolute rationality.
