Dragon of the Root

In the evening, Millennia Fortress, meeting room.

Everyone sat in their seats and looked at Wu Ming who was analyzing.

"Black Assassin does have the ability to erase his memories and information. This has been confirmed." Wu Ming clasped his chest with both hands and looked at everyone.

"But I can feel that the Black Assassin has been injured by me, my sword says so and if the opposing Master is an ordinary person, then the Black Assassin will definitely attack again, because he wants to increase his magic power."

Caules placed the archived files on the table and said: "According to our investigation in Japan, the place where our original Master Black Assassin Sagara Hyouma was killed, no <sacrifice> was found."

"The traces of Rikudou Reika death and Sagara Hyouma hands show no signs of transferring Command Seals.

"It can be concluded that Rikudou Reika was automatically selected as Master by the Black Assassins during the summoning process."

"After the Black Assassin was summoned, she killed Sagara Hyouma. This is information related to Rikudou Reika."

"In other words, the other party will definitely come out and attack people again, right," Astolfo said.

"Yes, what we need to do now is to wait and let the Black Assassin appear on his own," said Wu Ming.

"In addition, the Black Assassin triggered my Magecraft trap and there are marks on its body. As long as she is close to a certain area around me, I can detect her."

"But, how to attract Black Assassin?" Fiore asked.

After a short break, since Fiore was unharmed, and as the current patriarch of Yggdmillennia, she still came to this gathering.

"I can act as bait." Sieg stood up and said.

"This is too dangerous, Master, you are not Servant at all, and you can't survive an accidental attack." As Sieg Servant, Astolfo immediately retaliated.

"That's right, Sieg, even though you want to help everyone, you are too fragile as a human."

Although Sieg body was no different from an ordinary human as Siegfried heart and Magecraft circuits were also of high quality and superior, it could even be said that his physical strength surpassed that of an ordinary person.

But Sieg was a human from any point of view. To defend against attacks from Servants hiding in the darkness, even if the Assassins are weakest, this is not a good plan.

That doesn't mean that Sieg is weak, nor does it discriminate against Servants, but the clone of the Heroic Spirit, Servant, is too strong.

"Don't worry, Master Rider, since I came here, I can withstand the aura of being a Servant," said Jeanne.

"And I will accompany Jeanne, I have an item that can hide aura. Nothing will go wrong, rest assured." Wu Ming said confidently.

"Yes, I see," said Sieg with a bit of disappointment.

Wu Ming looked deeply at Sieg, then ignored him.

"Astolfo is in charge of observing from the sky, Chiron is shooting from Fort Millennia, and Soderlake and Jeanne are acting as bait," said Cailes.

"Then it's decided. In order to prevent the Black Assassins from attacking ordinary people at night, let's act tonight." Wu Ming stood up and said grandly.

"Yes!" answer everyone.

.....

After the meeting, Wu Ming did not choose to eat with Jeanne, but walked to Sieg side and said, "Talk to me, Sieg."

"Un!" said Sieg and Astolfo.

Within a minute, Jeanne led Astolfo to the restaurant, while Wu Ming and Sieg walked up the walls of the Millennium Fortress.

"Sieg, do you think that you are useless?" Wu Ming spoke first.

"Sir Soderlake… I really want to repay you, but…" Sieg said quietly.

"Siegfried is willing to give you his heart, not only because he wants to help those who need help in front of him, but because he wants to help those who ask for help and those who don't give up."

Wu Ming stood on the edge of the millennium fortress wall and looked at the endless meadows.

The prairie that was originally the battlefield of the Black and Red factions had been repaired with Magecraft, there wasn't even a trace of damage.

"Despite that, I haven't been of much help to you. I have asked for help. Everything depends on you. It's also a save for my team-mates."

"Miss Fiore was attacked by a black Black Assassin. Miss Jeanne is also used as bait. Don't say it helps, I might just make the situation worse." Sieg lowered his head in frustration.

"You underestimate yourself, Sieg."

Sieg did not speak, but looked at Wu Ming with doubt.

"Don't say that you, as a Homunculus possess the highest quality Magecraft circuit. You are now the Master of Rider!"

Wu Ming turned around, looked at Sieg, and continued.

"Master Servant cannot become any Magus, moreover you still rely on bonding with Servant to become a Master."

"Even though he saved you because of the consciousness of a hero, he was willing to sign a contract with you because he saw your character, your morals, and Astolfo saw it, and he recognized you as a human."

"You have conveyed your wish to me and to everyone in Yggdmillennia, otherwise, even I myself would not be able to change their view of you."

This was true, at that time Wu Ming told everyone about Sieg thoughts to Yggdmillennia. After listening to this, they were silent for a long time, and Gold was a little uncomfortable, but under Wu Ming pressure, he still didn't say anything.

"There's also that Homunculus, I'm sure they're very grateful to you now and helping them gain their freedom."

After that, Wu Ming turned around.

Wu Ming looked up at the vast night sky and said, "Let's take the example in front of you, Heroic Spirit. Look at Astolfo, his strength is weak among the Servants, some strong Magus can defeat him, but have you ever seen him despair?"

"You know Astolfo story, his strength in the legend of Charlemagne is far from that of other paladins, but he can still be one of Charlemagne twelve paladins, you know why?" Wu Ming asked.

"Sorry, I don't know..." Sieg answered, it was too complicated for a newborn Homunculus.

"That's because he has the power of heart."

"Th…the power of the heart…" Sieg thought.

"Is it from <Casseur de Logistille> (Declaration of Complete Destruction) that can destroy all Magecraft obtained from Magus"

"There is also the Trap of Argalia (Down with a Touch) which is the spear belonging to Argalia, a knight and prince of Cathay."

"And a Hippogriff (Otherworldly Phantom Horse) to protect against the evil Magus Atlante. Astolfo had survived adversity with the power bestowed by others.

"And Astolfo has a strong mind and has an easygoing and honest character, he is entrusted by so many people and it is precisely because Astolfo doesn't really care about these external powers that he has the ranks of Noble Phantasm. With a strong mind is the real power thing."

"A strong mind… is true power…" Sieg mumbled his words and thoughts.

"This is what the grandmother who adopted me said. I always remember what he taught me."

Then, not only thinking about something, Wu Ming said: "Anyway, protecting you is not only because of Siegfried request, but also because of my admiration for you, and since you have received Siegfried heart, then you must have obtained its power, it's just that it hasn't been triggered. "

Wu Ming turned around and was about to leave. After all, he couldn't stand it if he didn't leave. Very hungry.

"Think about it, don't worry about us tonight, but believe in the strength of your heart."
