Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

"I said... how long do you plan to eat here? Although considering that Ai Ge will get carried away and make a bunch of things, there should be some time, but I don't have any free time."

Roland played with the straw in his hand casually, looking at the table filled with cakes in front of him, and the orange-haired young man who was devouring the cake with a fork in each hand.

Shajo Aige's unique identity undoubtedly made Roland's refusal very convincing. Faced with this powerful reason, even though he once had eyes that could see through everything, the young man named Romani Akiman couldn't help but Coughed a few times.

But he didn't look like he was going to stop, he just used more greedy movements to destroy the dessert in front of him.

"I can't help it... Compared to the fake body I had when I was a heroic spirit, only as a human can I truly feel the beauty of strawberry cake. The sugar is really irresistible. If there is another Holy Grail War, I will definitely do it. Make a wish to have more strawberry cake than you can eat in a lifetime!"

"Then in a few years I can go to the funeral where your life ended prematurely because of your overeating."

Roland ruthlessly broke Romani Ajman's illusion and shook his head.

"After seeing your appearance before, this kind of behavior is really disillusioning. Can this be called King Solomon?"

"I didn't want to be a king or anything like that. Now I'm just an ordinary human being called Mr. Roman. You guys were deceived by the legend. You obviously know the inside story, but you're still so innocent. Roland, you are really young."

After winning, Solomon still chose his simple desire to become a human being, gave up everything in the past, and had a place in the world as a free human being.

Compared to his exhaustive appearance, this gentle yet weak character with a sense of inferiority is the true character of Solomon.

"Really? Then I, a young man, will go home to have dinner with my mother. Let's meet again next time we have a chance."

"That's just nonsense caused by too much excitement due to too much novelty. Please forgive me for my stupidity!"

Looking at Roland who was about to leave, Roman quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake, without the dignity of the past.

"Besides you, I really can't think of anyone else who can help me!"

"The human body is just incinerated. Do you need to be so panicked? You are already just an ordinary human being. You can just leave it to the suppression."

Solomon's wish for the Holy Grail was to become a human being, not to have a physical body, so the power and noble phantoms he had as a heroic spirit have disappeared, and now he is just a human with past experiences.

As Roland said, he can't do anything now. Without the wisdom of God, he can only be regarded as an ordinary person with excellent talents. He doesn't need to worry about major crises such as the incineration of human nature.

But Roman smiled bitterly.

"If you didn't see it, that's it. It just appeared at the last moment before my power disappeared, and it was still an unidentified image. Even if you want me to not doubt that it is not my fault, I can't do it. "

He subconsciously rubbed the last ring on his hand, and the scene of the raging fire destroying all history seemed to appear before his eyes again.

Knowing that this scene would be born, Roman was only filled with anxiety.

In order to gain the freedom of life, he doesn't mind giving up his almighty power, but if the price of his freedom is harming others, Roman would rather stay in the eternal shackles.

"As a human evil, you should be the main force behind the incineration of humanity. You should also know the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes. Since you said that after I make a wish, the ending will still be happy, but the process will be much more difficult, then There has to be something I can do, right?”

Roman raised his head and looked at Roland.

Although when he first saw the scene of the incineration of humanity, Roman couldn't help but have a flash of the idea of ​​Roland being the mastermind behind it, but the divine wisdom that had not yet left him simply rejected this possibility.

If Roland were to do it, the ones that would be burned would definitely not be gadgets like human beings.

"That's true, but are you sure you want to get involved?"

Roland looked at Roman with some amusement, "You will play a vital role in this process, but the prerequisite is that you have to give up your hard-won freedom for this matter. Doesn't it matter even then?"

"It's okay," Roman, who had always been very casual before, did not show a distressed expression because he was caught up in another mission. On the contrary, he had a relieved smile on his face.

"It turns out there is still a chance for me to make amends...it's really great."

Although he had lost his wisdom and strength, Roman, who logically had nothing to do with King Solomon, showed the same determined gaze as before.

“No matter what I have to learn and how much effort I put in, I will overcome it!”

"Very well, this is my friend."

Roland nodded with satisfaction, but his smile became more teasing.

"But before you start fighting to save humanity, you should first cross the threshold of reality. Whether you are pursuing further studies in academia or surviving in such a big city, there is a more critical element than will, Roman ……Do you have money?"

Roman's smiling expression completely froze.

Because Solomon was so indifferent, he did not consider this issue at all.

Roland, who was already very proficient in this process, once again carefully introduced his contract. In the end, in order to save money and seize all available time, Roman had to sign a strict contract with tears.

After completing the task of saving humanity, he would work for Roland for the rest of his life.

Damn it... If I had known earlier, I would have made a wish to become a human with a lot of money!

"Well, I originally thought that if you refused, I would not pay the bill for this meal and let you wash the dishes here to experience the hardships of the world. I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."

"Then without further ado, I just have a job that suits you. Come with me to report in the next two days. You can study in your spare time. I will pay the fees in advance. After all, you There’s no salary.”

The look of Roland regretting while putting away the debt made Roman's face darken.

"Are you a devil?"

"Let's forget it for now," Roland straightened his face and raised his eyebrows, "Then, as an investor, this is over. Next, I will give you free help as a friend. You are so helpless. The look is really uneasy."

"By the way, I forgot that I can ask you for power directly. Do you want to make me your dependent?"

Roman's eyes lit up. Because of his wish, as an ordinary person, he did not have magic circuits and clairvoyance. How to play his role in saving humanity was what bothered him.

But with Roland's help, it was different. Even if he was just an ordinary person, he could give himself powerful power.

"But let's make a deal first, I won't give you pure power directly."

"Hey, why?"

Roman was stunned.

"Because it's useless. If I hadn't personally taken action, even the combat power of one or two top-level heroic spirits would not be able to help this journey. It would only irritate the enemy and make the situation get out of control in advance."

Roland's voice was slow and steady, with a feeling like a breeze, which calmed the tension on Solomon's face a lot, and he listened carefully to the other party's words.

"What's more, your greatest advantage is not strength, but...knowledge."

Although he no longer has the omnipotent query device of God's Wisdom, Roman has experience beyond ordinary people, whether it is magic or handling of situations. This is a trace left by the memory of his previous life.

"I see... Do you want me to be the one responsible for guiding those saviors?"

Roman immediately understood Roland's intention. In legends, there are often people who know their destiny, but cannot reveal it for various reasons, and can only give clues to lead the protagonists of the story forward.

Some of them are wizards, some are fairies, and some are mysterious prophets.

Give clues when the hero is at a loss, tell the hero the enemy's weaknesses when he encounters an insurmountable dilemma, or simply give him powerful weapons.

Although they may not be as dazzling as the brave men, these people are still an indispensable part of the epic.

Such a role can indeed maximize Roman's power, but even if he loses his wisdom, it does not prevent Roman from realizing a problem.

"So, how can I become this kind of character? Even if I am an unreliable guy like Merlin, he is also a famous wizard in the archipelago. How can I, who is not even a magician, do such a critical thing? Gain trust!"

Roman leaned on the table and made a sound of distress.

In his previous life, he only had many experiences showing miracles, because he knew that this kind of irresistible power would only intensify the alienation of the people. Because of this, he also knew the attitude of most magicians towards ordinary people.

After all, knowledge and experience are two different things. If you can't play your role at the critical moment, you will only be regarded as a clownish clown.

"The help I gave you was to solve this problem."

Roland said calmly, with a mysterious smile on his lips.

“—The wise seek strength within themselves.”

"Although its upper and lower limits are extremely unstable and it is not convenient in daily life, it may be miraculous when difficulties arise that even the agencies responsible for saving people are helpless."

——

"The Holy Grail War is over... Even though you know there is no result, you still have to argue with other monarchs. This is the so-called politics."

In his office, Weber sighed and poured a cup of black tea for the silver-haired young man in front of him.

"No one can truly escape from the secular world, so we can only weigh the pros and cons."

Maris Billy picked up the tea cup, but he was very calm.

Although he often turns his back, compared to Weber, who became a monk halfway, he is still very accustomed to the way the Clock Tower monarchs get along with each other. After all, Chaldea cannot completely escape the secular world.

But he also agrees with Weber.

"This matter is over. My personal arrival has made Animusfia's attitude clear. The rest will be left to those guys from the noble faction."

"Oh, I really envy you."

Weber said from the bottom of his heart, rubbing his forehead in distress, remembering the information displayed on today's topic.

An entire fleet was destroyed, there were nightless spectacles for several consecutive nights, Shinjuku was completely dug up and damaged, large and small. The most important thing was that no matter how elite the magician was, when he entered that city On that day, all traces that can be captured will be lost, as if it is a bottomless pit.

Roland was indeed right. The scale of this time was beyond his ability to participate in. Both the power and the traces of the heroic spirits were too exaggerated. The Clock Tower's move to pursue this matter made Webb even more horrified.

Although I don’t think these people can find any traces, what if they really find something?

It's not as simple as giving up certain benefits in exchange for the government's help in covering up public opinion. Maybe the world will be turned upside down.

Therefore, Weber can only deal with it as much as possible, silently using his own efforts to save mankind.

"It's just each other. I don't know if the Lord is satisfied with Chaldea's results. Today's appointment is too sudden."

Marisbili did not act so relaxed. Although he had been working hard on the construction of his grand blueprint, no one knew what kind of weird demands the party A who provided the money would make.

Just when both of them fell into silent worry, a clear voice interrupted their thoughts.

"I've noticed that when I talk to you lately, there are always a lot of people with grimaces on their faces."

Roland opened the door and waved to the two people who hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"Long time no see, Weber, Maris Billy, but I'm not here to chat this time."

He cast his gaze on Maris Billy, turned slightly sideways, and let the figure following him come over.

"Today I am mainly going to introduce you to a person. He is DR Roman, the supervisor of Chaldea. I have entrusted him with full authority."

Weber moved his gaze behind Roland and looked at the young man with long orange hair tied into a single ponytail and wearing a white coat. Although he was imitating Roland and trying his best to smile brightly, the movements of his eyebrows were still exposed. of his weakness.

He seems to be just a weak, pessimistic, and downright good guy. Is there anything outstanding about him that deserves Roland's trust?

However, this guy has very good qualities. As long as he has some abilities, he is still very suitable to be a useful tool... No, isn't this the same person he was before!

Weber, who trusted his own vision very much, made a quick judgment, and couldn't help but look at Roman with a little pity.

Marisbili didn't have so many entanglements. He had already anticipated the arrival of this candidate.

"Welcome, Mr. Roman, I am the current director of Chaldea, Maris Billy. After the visit, you can decide which department you will be the head of."

"Okay...ok."

Roman nodded unnaturally, thinking about the name Chaldea, and prepared to respond to Maris Billy's friendly handshake.

"Regarding this matter, we can postpone it for a while. Roman still needs to study for the time being," Roland paused. "However, before that, I hope that he can get deeply involved in the internal affairs of Chaldea... I I mean, the real plan.”

"Lord Roland, you know, this is not because I want to hide my secret, but ordinary people are really not suitable for spiritual experiments."

Maris Billy's eyes flickered a few times, then gradually lit up with a strange light. He looked at Roman carefully.

"With all due respect, if Mr. Roman was involved now, he would probably die here if he got involved."

He was not worried about Roman's life, nor did he care about Roland's level of interference, but if he delayed his plan because of the chain reaction caused by this incident, it would be too late to regret it.

"We've already reached the stage of summoning the spirit son. That's just right. Roman can play a key role in this aspect that you didn't expect."

Roland, who had not paid much attention to Marisbili's submission of information on time, was also a little surprised, but still had no intention of changing his words. He looked at Roman next to him and raised his eyebrows.

"So, don't you mind showing your worth, Roman?"

"..."

Hearing Roland's evil voice, Roman's expression froze. Although he wanted to strike, he had already learned about Chaldea's effects from Roland on the way here, so he couldn't keep silent like this.

Therefore, in the weird eyes of Weber and Maris Billy, he smiled wryly at himself, took out a straight lizard stem from the pocket of his white coat, and recited the incantation he had just learned yesterday.

"You monsters and ghosts leave quickly, monsters and ghosts leave quickly!"
