Journey to Salvation from Chaldea

"What are you thinking about? You're so preoccupied, I've called you three times." The two men showed curious expressions.

"Ah, nothing. Just some small things about myself." Yue Ye shook her head.

"Understood." The two rituals didn't ask much, "Can you walk with me, master?"

"Yes, yes, but... is your body okay? Tomorrow you will..."

The two shook their heads: "It's okay, my body is a little special, thank you master for your concern. But, did master consider his own health before agreeing to my willful request?"

Yue Ye showed an indifferent expression: "It's okay. Before you came, I was used to staying up all night or even all night in Chaldea. That guy Olga Marie pushes everything on me, and there is no overtime pay, and no supper. If I don't provide it, I'm like a social animal..."

"Hehe~ But you still take good care of her." Liang Ri covered his mouth and smiled lightly.

"After all, although she is a bad boss, she is a good manager. It's a pity that my magic skills are immature, otherwise I could let her act in the singularity with a spirit body." Yue Ye felt a little regretful.

"Eh? Speaking of magic skills... what is the purpose of the master's magic practice?" Ryoji asked.

Yue Ye thought for a while: "Probably because I want to better understand the world and myself? Part of the reason why I left the Clock Tower was because I couldn't stand my colleagues there. What they think about every day is not family and friends, but how to find a way closer to the root."

Yue Ye shook her head: "I don't understand their thinking. I have spent countless hours in my life, and I have given up so many things in exchange for the hope of taking a small step forward. Even if there is progress, I just stay with myself In the family. Some people even become selfish and ruthless, I am a little disappointed in them."

"Does the master have no expectations for the root?"

"There must be, but I don't force it. Although the root is all 'reason', I still prefer this world a little more. Controlling everything, understanding everything, and changing everything are things God does, and people have limits. Well. I just need to be a person who feels this world. Although it’s a bit embarrassing to say it, I love this beautiful world deeply.” Yue Ye looked very relaxed, “Ah, but if it’s possible, I want to see what the root looks like. What is the so-called vortex of the root? I am very curious."

"Master has already seen the appearance of the root." Liang Ri smiled, "or, you have already seen one of the roots."

"Huh?" Yue Ye was a little surprised.

"Hmm... It's not right to say it's one of the roots. To be precise, it's the person who connects to the roots."

"……you?"

The two ceremonies are still smiling: "That's right, how about it, do you want to 'study' it carefully?"

"...Let's go back and rest."

"Eh? Obviously the master said before that he wanted to see the appearance of the root vortex!"

"...Go back and rest."

"Is the master shy?"

"rest!"

The two rituals smiled softly and mischievously, and followed the moonlit night.She suddenly said: "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

Yue Ye froze for a moment, then blushed slightly, and responded in a low voice: "The wind is also gentle."

The two ceremonies were a bit unexpected, and then there was a hint of satisfaction in the smile.She quickly followed Yue Ye and hugged his arm.

###Chapter 38 Before the Final Battle###

A few hours ago, Orleans.

"Is Jill there?" the Dragon Witch asked, her voice tired.

"Yes, I am here!"

"How is Sanson?"

Jill shook his head: "He's still receiving treatment. But his spirit is almost exhausted. He maintains the state of the spiritual shell, so he can no longer be used as a soldier."

The Dragon Witch said in a low voice: "Hmph, that man's mouth is as powerful as his means."

Then she added: "Giorgios escaped from that city. We could have made it if that man hadn't bought them time."

"I see. Did the opponent get a new teammate?" Jill nodded.

"It's a failure. Not only did I fail to stop them, Sanson was made like this. Although we have no shortage of manpower here to deal with them, it is still very unpleasant. Continue to search for their whereabouts."

A voice interrupted her: "Hey, this may not be necessary anymore."

The Dragon Witch raised her eyebrows: "Saber? Didn't I order you to be in charge of the southeast search?"

Saber repeated: "There is no need for this anymore, Master. They are heading straight to Orleans. It seems that they plan to provoke a decisive battle. Is this what you want?"

The Dragon Witch was not surprised at all: "They are no longer running around. That is to say, they have a certain chance of winning."

Saber agreed: "The opponent has a lot of followers. And if that man really beats you in a head-on battle, then they really have a good chance of winning. Although there are still dragons on our side, it must be Let's have a fight."

The Dragon Witch keenly sensed Saber's suppressed emotions: "Are you looking forward to it?"

Saber said naturally: "Of course I am looking forward to it. Who made me mentally abnormal. For me, destruction or being destroyed is what I pursue. Alright, give me an order, Master."

"Prepare for the decisive battle. Jill, you summon the servants and them."

Jill bowed his head respectfully: "Yes. Let's gather the dragons scattered all over France."

Not long after Jill left, Saber also left, and only the Dragon Witch was left in the huge living room.

"...Our victory will mean the destruction of the world. But even if we fail, the result will not change. The world has already perished. Even if this era is restored, there is still an endless journey to meet them." She Muttering to himself, "Even so. Even so, do they and 'I' still affirm the world?"

She pulled out the long sword and looked at her own face reflected in the sword.The face on the sword has a pair of eyes revealing confusion. "If that's the case, it's up to me to crush them. Never let them maintain the world. This is my expectation, and it is also Jill's expectation. ... No, not mine... No, it should be, it must be, it must be My expectations."

She didn't dare to look at herself again.She sheathed her sword and got up from the main seat, ready to check Fafnir's condition.Passing a mirror on the way, she couldn't help but glance again.The girl's face in the mirror is still beautiful, but she is still confused.The Dragon Witch looked at the face that was exactly the same as Jeanne's, and suddenly showed an expression of fear and disgust. She suddenly pulled out her sword and hit it on the mirror. The flames blackened the bronze mirror until she could no longer see her. just give up.She let out a heavy breath, and continued to walk towards the garden where Fafnir was.

"At present, we are outnumbered. Wyverns all over the sky are really annoying." At the pre-war meeting, Yue Ye said, "But our purpose is also very clear. We only need to defeat the enemy's leader. So let’s discuss tactics centered around this goal.”

Matthew said: "There are at least six confirmed enemy servants, namely Assassin Camilla, Lancer Vlad III, Assassin Sanson, Saber Mad Archer, Mad Saber and Dragon Witch herself, plus The Gilles de Rais speculated by the seniors and the phenomenon of temporary summoning that may appear, what we have to face is a plurality of Servant Wars."

"Leave Fafnir to Mr. Siegfried, is that okay?" Yue Ye asked.

"No problem, Fafnir will be shot down again."

"Okay, then Lixiang and Matthew will assist you. After shooting it down, we can attack Orleans."

"Hey, puppy, there's a guy I have to beat up, can you hand her over to me?" Elizabeth said suddenly.

Yue Ye frowned: "What did you call me? Camilla, right? No problem."

Elizabeth stuck out her tongue: "Thank you."

"Then Amadeus and I will deal with Sanson? I have something to say to him."

"Yes, but you still have to be careful. To be honest, Miss Mary, Sansong has already been hit by me once. I'm not sure if this person is mentally normal. Please be careful." Yue Ye nodded.

"Then I... just spray fire at Lord Anzhen's side. After all, there is an old saying that a moth flies to a flame, if you dare to disturb me and Lord Anzhen, I will spray him to death." Qing Ji supported Said the face, blushing abnormally.

"No." Yue Ye refused this time, "I need to trouble you to protect Li Xiang. I and Shi, and Joan of Arc will rush directly into the Duke's mansion, and I need someone behind to protect Li Xiang."

Qing Ji pouted: "Okay, okay, since it's Master An Zhen's request..."

"I told you I'm not An Zhen..." Yue Ye complained, but it was obvious that Qing Ji would ignore such words.

"Then I'll help clean up some wyverns. When you confront the enemy leader in the city hall, I promise I won't let any creatures disturb you," Giorgios said.

"Then come and help after dealing with Fafnir." Siegfried said, "You just need to concentrate on negotiating."

"Leave the surrounding investigation work to me." Dr. Roman also joined the discussion, "Success or failure depends on one move. I have already prepared a large bucket of nutritional drinks!"

Matthew complained: "Doctor... This will only backfire. Later, you will have a stomachache and can't drink at all...?"

Doctor Roman forcefully explained: "Maybe it will refresh your face if you splash it on your face!? Anyway, leave it to me!"

"This place is still a certain distance from Orleans. I would like to remind everyone that our whereabouts are under the control of the other side. The enemy must have been mobilized by now. We are likely to meet the enemy's vanguard on the way. Everyone, check yourself last. ready to fight!" Yue Ye stood up straight and looked in the direction of Orleans, "I swear by human principles, we will definitely bring this chaotic era back on track!"

###Chapter 39 Man and Machine###

(Thanks to Fu Xizang and Wang Hassan for their 100-point rewards, the boss is very generous, I wish the boss good health ~ from the author of Tomato)

"Confirm that the Mad Archer has been eliminated!"

As the opponent turned into magic power and disappeared, the blood on Karasuma disappeared without a trace.

"This feeling is really bad. I don't like crazy opponents." Yue Ye dismissed Karasuma, "It's not fun to fight at all, it's like fighting a beast. This method of transforming a heroic spirit is not a dragon witch." I can figure it out."

"That is to say, Mr. Yueye's guess has one more verification." Li Xiang handed over everything.

"If there is really a mastermind behind the scenes, how will Senior plan to deal with him?" Matthew asked curiously.

"Kill him." Yue Ye didn't hesitate at all, "People who don't respect life don't deserve life at all."

Matthew froze for a moment.She looked at Li Xiang, but although the latter did not speak, he revealed the meaning of agreement.Seeing that no one objected, she nodded silently.

"Are you wondering if there is a better solution?" Yue Ye stroked Matthew's head.She is as pure as a piece of white paper. After getting along for so long, Yue Ye can probably guess what Matthew means.

"……Um."

"There is a saying in my hometown, which is 'repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue? Repay grievances with straightness, and repay virtue with virtue.'" Yue Ye said, "I hate violence, because pure violence can't solve any problems. But sometimes, Violence is indeed one of the essential elements of problem solving."

Looking at Matthew's still puzzled expression, Yue Ye smiled: "Well, when we confront each other, I will give you the right to choose. After the communication, you can decide what to do."

He ruffled Matthew's hair twice. "But don't think so much now, cheer up. There are still several battles to come."

"That's right." Dr. Roman said, "According to my scan results, Fafnir seems to have departed from Orleans! In other words..."

"Everyone, prepare for battle! The main force of the enemy is coming!"

The giant dragon soon appeared in everyone's sight, and it flew in front of them carrying the Dragon Witch and other followers.I don't know if it's an illusion, but Yueye always feels that Fafnir is a little afraid of herself.

"Hello, my residue." The Dragon Witch on the dragon's back said condescendingly.

Joan shook her head: "...No. I'm not a residue, and besides, I'm not you at all, Dragon Witch."

The Dragon Witch asked back: "You are obviously me. What nonsense are you talking about?"

Joan shook her head regretfully: "...No matter what I say now, you can't listen to it. After this battle is over, I will say as much as I want to say."

Before the Dragon Witch could refute, Yue Ye sighed: "Oh, it seems that you didn't think about the question I raised, what a pity." But he looked carefully at the face of the Dragon Witch again, and suddenly smiled : "No. No. Ha, so that's the case, did you give up thinking? You are really easy to understand, just like a little girl who is angry."

The Dragon Witch's arrogant expression froze for a moment, and then she said angrily, "Shut up! I know who I am! I also know what I'm doing!"

"But is this what you want?" Yue Ye smiled softly, staring directly at the Dragon Witch with a pair of clear eyes.

The light words made the Dragon Witch's determination greatly shaken.

Yue Ye shook his head: "What a poor child. Like a machine, it has been input with instructions since birth and acts according to the wishes of others. The result is like this, and I don't even know the meaning of my own existence. Yes, you do know Who are you, you are the Witch of Dragons, you are the Destroyer of France, you are 'Jean of Arc', you have the Holy Grail in your hands, you can be anyone, you can do anything. But the only thing you can't be is independence Oh, now I hate the 'guardian' behind you even more. Don't let me find him out, or he will die a terrible death."

The Dragon Witch's eyes seemed to be filled with confusion for a moment, but she quickly suppressed it with her will.She waved her flag heavily, and said, "Stop talking nonsense...! Look at this dragon! Look at this horde of dragons! France is now a den of dragons! Dragons will eat everything up , turn this France into barren land! Then this world will end. Then this world will collapse. What is left is the endless internecine killing between dragons. Endless war, endless predation." She He raised his voice: "This is the real Hundred Years' War, the Hundred Years' War of the Evil Dragon!"

"Boom!" There was a cannon sound from a distance.

"What...!?" The Dragon Witch turned her head to look in the direction of the cannon fire.

Coming from afar came the remaining French troops.Under the command of the marshal in silver armor, they are attacking in an orderly manner.He shouted: "Fire! It's up to now to keep France! Full fire! Don't stop! Don't leave a shell! Don't be afraid! Don't lament! Don't back down! All my phratry, this is the day Desperate for a moment! I say it again! Don't be afraid!"

He glanced at Joan from a distance, and shouted with certainty: "Because beside us...the saint is with us!"

Joan was a little moved: "...Jill...!"

The Dragon Witch said disdainfully: "...Hmph. It's really a firm belief, it's so disgusting. Fafnir! Burn this saint, this army, this France (motherland)! Let's burn them all!"

A deep male voice froze Fafnir's flame-breathing action: "Ha. I never thought I would see you for the third time. But maybe in other time and space, in other worlds, we will exist in different forms Get involved!"

The Dragon Witch's eyes widened: "Siegfried...!"

Siegfried pulled out Balmonger: "Fafnir! Evil Dragon! I am here! I am Siegfried! I swear to my justice and my faith, I will definitely drive you into the world again. Twilight of the Gods!!"

"Fafnir... is afraid!"

The red skylark appeared on Yueye's shoulder at some point.He fired a magic bullet with all kinds of things, and shouted: "Everyone, buy time for Siegfried!"

"My servants, go! Don't let Siegfried get close to Fafnir!" The Dragon Witch also ordered.

Four figures jumped down from the dragon's back.

Crazy Saber.

Mad Assassin, Camilla.

Crazy Lancer, Vlad III.

Crazy Assassin, Henry Charles Sanson.

"Senior, they are here! The French army has helped us contain the wyvern, and our place is the key to victory." Matthew raised his shield.

"Okay, according to the plan, destroy them one by one!" Yue Ye shouted, "Everyone, spread out and open a way for Siegfried! Mash, protect Lixiang and Siegfried! Lixiang, please!"

"Leave it to me! Mister Moon Night!"
