Chapter 284: Do One Kindness Every Day

"Don't stare at me like this, and it's useless to stare at me, no matter how many times you say it, I guarantee that what I said is absolutely true..."

The magician didn't feel any pressure because of the knight girl's gaze, and he didn't feel any psychological or moral guilt. After all, as the saying goes...our Master has no conscience.jpg

Because he really planned to do nothing to Irisviel regardless of Artoria's cooperation or not—

If Saber is obedient, he will not let Irisviel go directly, and if Saber refuses to cooperate, he will not force Saber to submit by hurting Irisviel.

In the end, telling Saber about Irisviel wasn't a threat, it was just telling her the news. Although it wasn't out of good intentions, it was indeed of such a nature in terms of the behavior itself.

Anyway, no matter what choice Saber makes, it won't affect Irisviel's treatment here at Liudong Temple...

In this regard, he really didn't have any ideas, but he said this specifically to make Saber think wildly.Probably because he doesn't want to make any low-level threats, but he can make the opponent point in such a direction to make up for himself, so as to achieve the desired effect.

And just as he expected, Artoria didn't dare to gamble, and she couldn't afford to gamble at all. When she thought that that snowflake-like innocent young woman might be murdered, it was impossible for her to remain indifferent.

No matter how much Xia Ran swears, he will not anger Alice Feier because of Artoria's knowledge or not.

But the question is, does Artoria dare to believe this statement?The answer is naturally no, because no one else can guarantee her this matter except herself.

Rather, the more Xia Ran emphasizes it, the more she believes that this is a threat that is constantly being reiterated. Once she really refuses completely and chooses not to cooperate, then Irisviel will suffer...

This recognition made the blonde girl so angry that even her shoulders trembled slightly. She no longer felt ashamed and mournful as before. Instead, her emerald green eyes seemed to be full of burning The burning rage.

If it was possible, she really wanted to draw her sword violently and cut off the head of this hateful magician in front of her with one sword!

It was really too hateful, with that calm and natural look, as if he was sure to threaten her and expected her to succumb, when she saw it, she became so angry that her white teeth almost gnawed into pieces.

However, this cannot be done.

Not to mention anything else, even her intuition was warning her against this dangerous idea, telling her that if she really did this, there would definitely be no good results.

The magician in front of her is definitely more dangerous than she imagined. Even though she has updated her cognition time and time again, she still hasn't touched the reality of the other party... The other party used layer after layer of routines to take the Holy Grail this time. Not to mention that all the participants in the war were involved, the hole cards revealed now may not be all.

Basically, it can be said that the almost precognitive intuition ability is one of Saber's most important reliance, and it is also the biggest piece of the puzzle in her melee ability.

Even though she doesn't have the "Infinity Martial Arts" that combines mind, skill and body like Lancelot, nor does she have the unparalleled sword skills that reach the height of magic like Sasaki Kojiro, but she can instantly determine "the most suitable action for her" by relying on her intuition. , but can be quite effective in avoiding evil.

It is this cheating skill that enables her to fight with some super perverted terrifying enemies whose mind, skill and body have been tempered to the extreme. Handed over the head...

Intuition has made many meritorious deeds, and has repeatedly helped her be invincible in the face of some difficult enemies, and even seized only one percent of the chance in a bad headwind situation and executed it accurately, turning defeat into victory, so She trusted her intuition very much, and the urge to violently hurt others was finally suppressed under the warning of intuition.

Besides, even if it really succeeded, it would be meaningless, because this magician is not alone, after killing him, everything will be over...

For example, once his followers realize that there is something wrong with their Master, will they blame others at the last minute?Not to mention anything else, that Caster would definitely do such a thing.

In that case, Irisviel is also in danger, and may even fall into fatal danger sooner. Saber can't deceive herself just because she says she can't see it...

So, apart from glaring at Xia Ran, she found in despair and grief that she was so powerless at this moment, unable to do anything... No, there are still some things that can be done, but she needs to be wronged Own.

"..."

"..."

The two just looked at each other quietly, as if time had stopped at this moment, but the scene was not at all charming.

After all, there are no stars and no moon in the sky, and there are no lights in Liudong Temple itself. In addition, this temple is located independently on the mountain. The various residential areas and commercial areas are located under the mountain, so there will be no other lights, so that the whole There is only a piece of darkness in the courtyard that is almost invisible.

If it wasn't for the fact that both of them had extremely powerful perceptions, seeing night as day, and this environment seemed to have no effect on them, then they simply couldn't see where the other was.

In the extremely spacious yard, the cold winter wind blew by, and the two people stared at each other, one calm and composed, the other murderous.This kind of situation is really not interesting at all, if you really think it is, then it must be a brain supplement king in the late stage of paranoia——

Even the swordsman leaning against the mountain gate not far away, closing his eyes and resting his mind, couldn't help but glance over here, then yawned, and muttered something in a low voice.

It's not that Sasaki Kojiro doesn't understand what the two of them are doing, although on the surface, it seems that the Master didn't agree on the conditions, and the new colleagues are unwilling to join the job like this...

But if it is said that the talk has collapsed, it seems that it is not enough for everyone to break up.

The Master is not the kind of person who is obscene, if he says he won't do anything to that woman, he definitely won't do it, but Saber probably won't believe it like that, with her character, it's only a matter of time before she makes compromises...

Sasaki Kojiro naturally knew what kind of means the Master used in this process, but he didn't care too much. After all, this kind of behavior would not rise to the moral level, and objectively speaking, Xia Ran did not lie from the beginning to the end, even There was no threat from start to finish.

Instead, he repeated over and over again that he would never do such a thing...

It's just that the more she reiterated her promise like this, the more upset and worried Saber felt. Xia Ran was just using her psychological routine to trick her, but she still couldn't get out of this vicious circle.

Obviously he couldn't do such a thing, but cleverly used the words to make the other party think about it, and he became more and more worried.I don't really need to break through the moral bottom line, but I can get the results that can only be gained if I break through the moral bottom line... It's probably such a small means.

If I had to say it, I really couldn't find too many faults. After all, Xia Ran was always telling the truth, but the other party didn't believe it and was suspicious. This was the other party's own problem.

Sure enough, as long as you are a magician, your heart is dark... Sasaki Kojiro feels ashamed of himself in this regard.

It may be a blessing to say that I had no hope of an official career during my lifetime. After all, I don't have such a flamboyant heart, so how can I play with those dark and dirty guys?It's not an opponent at all!

Xia Ran didn't know that Sasaki Kojiro was slandering him, and he didn't care about such things. He just looked at the stubborn emerald green eyes of the knight girl for a long time, finally sighed, turned and left and waved his hands——

"Forget it, since you are so resistant, then let's do it, I won't make things difficult for you, you can now..."

"Wait! I can temporarily admit that you are my Master...but you must promise me that you will never hurt Irisviel."

Saber seemed to want to gnash her silver teeth, and the voice came from behind, calling him and interrupting his words.

After all, the knight girl still didn't dare to take risks, and she didn't know if this dangerous magician had become angry because she didn't get the answer she wanted, and was going to give Irisviel a blow first or something...

So she can only bear with it. Although the spirit of chivalry does not allow her to betray the original master, the spirit of chivalry also does not allow her to ignore the cruel fate that Irisviel may suffer... Under such circumstances, she can only Make your own choices.

However, this is not the first time she has encountered such a dilemma, so it is still easy to draw conclusions.

Compared with the former, which just stained one's reputation, it is more cost-effective to choose the latter, saving a lady from the dire straits. Compared with the latter, the former is not worth mentioning at all, at least she doesn't think her own The fact that loyalty is stained is more important than Irisviel's safety.

"..."

"..."

Xia Ran stopped in her tracks, and when she turned around, there was no surprise on his face, and he still looked like a kind person:

"You don't have to force yourself... I have already said that no matter what you choose, I will not force you, let alone threaten you with Irisviel, so you don't need to force yourself for this kind of thing make a choice……"

He seemed to have good intentions, put himself in Saber's shoes, as if he didn't want to embarrass her, but this hypocritical appearance of being cheap and good-looking made the girl feel even more angry.

"Then I really thank you..."

Saber stood up from the ground with some difficulty, completely ignoring the scars and dust on her body, staring at him with a contemptuous look mixed with undisguised anger.

"You're welcome, this is what I should do..." Xia Ran said with a slight smile, modestly.

Then he turned his head and looked outside the mountain gate, as if he had sensed something: "It just so happens that Caster has brought that lady back... If you are worried, you can be with that lady from now on to make sure she safety."
