Xingyue: The protagonist I recommended died again

Chapter 187 The simplicity of holding a grudge

The thick smell of gunpowder smoke lingered in the slightly salty air for a long time. From the dark red night, which was intertwined with conspiracy and fighting, there were only a few shipwrecks that sailed out safely, like endless rafts in the morning sun, floating alone on the blue waves. On the sea, drifting with the wind and waves.

呲味——

Accompanied by the sound of electricity, a blurry image appeared in front of the girl who was resting on the stern of the boat above the water.

At the same time, Olga Marie's voice sounded.

"Mash! Mash! Call, call! What happened last night? Are you okay? Where did Hinako go? I can't contact her..."

"Be quiet!" The man, who was resting with his eyes closed, impatiently interrupted Olga Marie, who looked anxious in the image.

This is Leif.

Whether it was before or after the betrayal, Olga Marie's impression was that this was the first time she had seen Leif like this.

The usual calmness disappeared without a trace, and it seemed that only fatigue, full of resentment and unwillingness were left.

The hair is messy, the clothes are ragged, and the face is gray.

Although she didn't know what the other party had gone through, such a scene really made Olga Marie feel a tingling pleasure in her heart.

After a long silence, Leif stood up.

"Instead of that woman."

Next to Olga Marie, Rin immediately changed places with Olga Marie, knowing that she was talking about him.

"Professor Leif, is there anything we in New Chaldea can do now? And if possible, can you tell us what happened last night so that I can better assist you."

Unlike Olga Marie who was always chattering and making people upset, Rin's words were just right. She lowered her attitude but not completely. She was not as strong as Olga Marie and did not cause any anger. Any resentment from my husband.

By the way, since the communication was unexpectedly disconnected in the middle of the night, Rin also waited anxiously in the control room all night.

Finally, he glanced at Mash who was leaning aside and kept muttering the word "Master" even in his dream. Leif said calmly: "Be prepared to receive Mash Kyrielet. At this singularity, she has now It’s of no use anymore.”

Knowing not to rush, Rin nodded, and then quickly issued the order to recover Mashu.

Seeing that Mashu was transferred by the spirit child and recovered by New Chaldea, Leif finally breathed a sigh of relief.

...Then he cursed because he thought about what happened last night: "Damn Merlin!"

The bloody last night kicked off with the murder case in the secret room of the ship.

The first one to have an accident was the servant Galba whom Leif had summoned before. By the time Leif arrived at the scene when he realized something was wrong, Galba had already died gloriously.

Although everyone present had sufficient alibi, Leif immediately identified the suspect through some clues: Merlin hiding in the dark!
Just because there were two pink petals left at the scene!
After that, Leif scolded Merlin for being despicable and unworthy of martial ethics. In order to prevent the same thing from happening again, he placed a barrier around the entire ship to prevent enemy invasion and provide early warning.

But what I didn't expect was that the enemy was even more despicable than imagined!
Why did emperors such as Caesar, Goddess, and Caligula fall into madness where they could not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy?I think it must be because of Merlin's methods!
Otherwise, why would they all shout Merlin's name when they went crazy and have two pink petals on their heads?
Despicable Merlin!

At that time, faced with the sudden betrayal and sneak attack that caught people off guard, if Octavian and Bayi, who were not affected by Merlin's magic, had not stepped forward at the most critical moment...

In short, the assassination of several people was a near miss because Octavian and Bayi sacrificed their lives to save them.

Then came the fight against the rebellion.

With the help of Octavian, Bayi, Mathew, Red Rabbit, Nero and the two Berserkers on the human side, the rebellion of the emperors was finally quelled.

However, before he could relax and re-summon to replenish his fighting power, the cunning and despicable Merlin actually invaded while he was busy suppressing the rebellion and had no time to take care of the defensive barrier!

In short, the result was that the group was almost destroyed.

The Master of Chaldea, Akuko, set up an ambush nearby on Leif's order, and her life or death is still uncertain.

Bayi, Matthew, and Nero were attacked by an unknown sneak attack and were seriously injured and dying, unable to recover.

Then, the two Berserkers and Octavian were all attacked by unknown means and without defense.

Leif originally wanted to use the Holy Grail to summon new followers to deal with this situation, but faced with Matthew who might die in the next second, he struggled repeatedly and finally chose to use the Holy Grail on Matthew.

And he transformed into the Demon God Pillar, guarding the whole night without retreating, until the darkness faded and dawn came and the sun rose.

By the way, the attack that Matthew suffered was extremely weird. It was not a fatal blow, but more like some kind of slow poison, which caused the little life force to flow away uncontrollably at an extremely fast speed.

Recalling this, Leif suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled.

"Hahahaha! Merlin! I, Lef Lenore, admit it, you are so despicable, cunning and cold-blooded that you will do whatever it takes to protect the people!"

Merlin, who was far away in Avalon and had no concept of time, had a strange expression after hearing these words mixed with magic.

Young man, what's going on in your head?

As long as the petals appear, is it my fault?
Then this pot is too easy to carry, right?
And what happened to those Roman emperors?If you rebel, you will rebel. Why do you call me by my name when you rebel?Are you still holding my flower petals on your head?Did I provoke you to provoke you?
By the way, you should be smarter in your frame-up methods!
If you can frame me in such a simple way, doesn't it mean that any blame in the future can be easily thrown on my head?
Please, this makes me look wronged!

And that young man (simplified), Heaven and Earth Ming Jian, although it looks like I did it, it really wasn’t me who tricked you!
And to take a step back, even if I really tricked you, would you tell me that you would let Artoria shout my name with petals on her head and activate the Noble Phantasm towards the Demon God Pillar?
Two Noble Phantasms, and each time Arturia is asked to add my name as a suffix to the EX curry stick. Isn’t this a bit unconscionable?

And the key is, if you do this with Octavian, how can I go to the singularity to help you in the future?
It is estimated that Leif will be crazy to target him as soon as he reaches the singularity point!

So bad, you two are so bad!

For Merlin, looking at the whole thing, there was indeed fun, and a lot of it, but there was only one thing that he couldn't bear, and that was that after eating, he ended up eating "himself"!
In fact, it is very possible that this incident will suddenly deprive him of the possibility of appearing in the future!It’s simply unbearable!

Unable to hold back, Merlin also cursed.

"I*****!"

On the other side, there is an open space along the river.

After listening to the reports of Artoria and Medusa who had just returned, it was inevitable that Octavian would be a little surprised by his confidence.

To briefly summarize what the two said: when a few people arrive at their destination at sea, things there will basically be over.

Although he had expected it, he didn't expect that Octavian could accomplish this so perfectly by himself. Not only did he almost destroy Leif's power in one fell swoop, but he also forced the other party to use the Holy Grail on Matthew!

Of course, Jian Jian still has some doubts about the last point.After all, according to what the two said, the attack that Mashu suffered was not the most direct attack, but some kind of snatching of life force.

To achieve this, the only thing Jian Jian could think of was Bayi's precious phantom that could strip away the enemy's vitality bit by bit.

In addition, Octavian did not target Bayi, but allowed Bayi to survive at the end of this conspiracy...

"Could it be that…"

Jian Yan immediately thought of a possibility, that is, Octavian had united with Bayi, and Bayi cooperated in last night's operation!

Thinking about it, even Octavian would have been hard-pressed to make things so perfect without anyone's help.

"What a scary (reliable) guy..." Jian Jian couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, Octavian was on her side this time. If he were on the opposite side...

Jian Yi didn't dare to continue thinking about it. He was good at strategy and scheming. He would hide his purpose before the opportunity came. When he saw the opportunity, he would not hesitate to act decisively. He could even easily see through a person's human weakness. In this way If someone is your enemy, it will be difficult to win.

It can only be said that Leif did summon an extremely rare and difficult gold card this time. Unfortunately, he failed to fully utilize the effect of this SSR, and finally let himself pick the peach.

"Princess, I doubt Merlin is really hiding on that ship."

At this time, Artoria frowned and spoke.

"Huh? Why do you say that?" Jian Jian asked curiously, handing over the breakfast prepared by Matou Sakura, who had been watching eagerly from the beginning.

"If there was no one else on that ship, what was going on with the original locked room murder?"

"What could be going on? It's a suicide that was faked as a murder scene. If Leif can be more careful, he will definitely find something wrong." Jian Yan said casually, and he could get the answer to such a simple question with just a little thought. , but precisely because of this, Jian Yi also admired those Roman emperors for being able to give up the second life that he had finally obtained so calmly.

Many things cannot be realized until they are lost, and life is the best among them. For a follower, being summoned to the present world is equivalent to having a miraculous second life.

However, they are willing to give up their hard-won second life for the same purpose. How can we not be admired?

"I see." Artoria nodded, and while sitting down next to Jian Yi, she suddenly thought of something, "Speaking of which, Jian Yi, why do you hate Merlin so much?"

It's okay for Artoria not to mention this, but when she mentions this, she can't help but want to greet Merlin's family.

Because of this, Jian Jian left a deep psychological shadow at this singularity, and now she doesn't dare to mess around even in her dreams!
Just like the dream I had last night when I was taking a nap, facing my sister-in-law who teased me until my body was filled with heat and anger, I couldn't tell the difference between reality and reality and endured it until I woke up!I'm afraid it's Merlin's fault!
"Anyway, don't ask. Believe me, for my sake and yours, it's absolutely right to chop him to death when we meet."

Fufu, who rarely guarded Mashu but came back with Artoria, nodded with deep understanding.

"Fu~fu~! (Merlin must die!)"

In this way, one man and one woman reached a consensus that it didn't matter if they fought in a team battle, Merlin must die, and formed a united front against Merlin.

By the way, the only ones who came back were Medusa and Artoria, Jing Ke Boudica and others all disappeared because of the disappearance of the Holy Grail.

Because the remaining magic power was used by Leif to save Matthew, after replenishing Matthew's life force, the Holy Grail disappeared due to lack of magic power.

But why didn't Stheno, who was also summoned by human inhibition, disappear?

Looking at Stheno, who was dangling her little feet that were so white and tender that it made people feel strangely excited, Jian Jian couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Bayi does not seem to have disappeared. Jian Jian has a guess, that is, Leif most likely did not use the magic power of the Holy Grail when summoning Bayi, but summoned him with his own magic power.

But what about this one?

Seemingly noticing Jian Yan's gaze and the confusion in Jian Yan's eyes, Stheno raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then stretched out his white little feet in front of Jian Yan.

"You are so callous~~Don't tell me that you have forgotten that you are a hateful man who defiled the goddess and possessed the goddess..."

"Huh?" Jian Yi was stunned. At the same time, Artoria also became alert because of Stheno's words, and her hair instantly stood up!

"Didn't you agree to be my servant forever?"

"When did I say..."

Before he finished speaking, Jian Yi immediately reacted, widening his eyes and looking at Stheno in front of him with horror.

"Wait a minute, that...is actually you..."

At the same time, a certain arrogance and moment burst out from Artoria's body, shrouding Jian Yi and Stheno.

Sensing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Jian Yan looked back and realized that what she was most worried about had happened. The curry stick in Artoria's hand had been raised high and had even begun to charge up!

"Altoria, calm down! I can explain it! It's all because of Merlin! I was really framed!"

"Who would believe such a thing!!"

"ah--!!"

fluttering--

The sound of a group of frightened birds flapping their wings and chirping and fleeing covered up the simple screams.

About 10 minutes later, in the empty space by the river with no one else around, Jian Jian knelt down on the pebbled bank, eyes closed, holding up four fingers, as if he would be struck by thunder if he told a lie.

In front of him was Artoria, who was holding her hands and looking coldly, beside her was Stheno who looked indifferent, and Medusa, the family member of the client who felt that she had to stay.

"Artoria, whenever I tell a lie, you just kill me with a knife. If Merlin hadn't stood in the way, deceived, and attacked an innocent young man like me, I would never have committed such a big crime. fault!"

"Is what he said true?" Arturia turned her head and asked Stheno.

Stheno acted very calmly and said lightly: "Speaking of which, I remember that he kept calling your name at that time. I thought he just had that habit, so I cooperated a little bit."

Hearing the sound, Jian Yi's eyes twitched.

Good guy, this goddess doesn’t blush at all when she lies!

At that time, she had clearly noticed something was wrong and raised an objection. It was she who insisted on admitting that she was the King of Knights!
Now that it's in her mouth, it has become a special habit to match him!
Arturia, who got the affirmative answer from Stheno's mouth, only felt an unknown fire that had no place to release, and finally poured all this unknown fire on Merlin's head.

Merlin, I always thought you were just playful, but I didn't expect you to be so playful!
