Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

Page 224

As Sieg looked at the Heroic Spirits who were no longer bound by magic and began to experiment with their current state, he felt that although his plan had encountered a slight mishap, it was still going relatively smoothly.

These heroic spirits are no longer a threat.

And Einzbern...

Ha, just a family of traditional magicians!

Even if they were truly prepared, and even had the combat power to suppress multiple Heroic Spirits at the Thousand World Tree, what use would it be?

How many Honkai energy bombs could that knight withstand?

Einzbern probably couldn't even recognize that these Heroic Spirits were bombs!

That's true. How could someone who only knows how to use magic understand the greatness of Honkai energy?

Just like those Heroic Spirits who were completely unaware of this...

Zieg's gaze was deep, his face expressionless, but he was laughing inwardly.

At least in this possibility, no one understands Honkai energy better than him!

He won because of this!

183. Mordred's Shock

"Here you go, sit down."

In the evening, after some thought, Mary went to Roland's room.

However, she wasn't really there to do anything shady. She knew that Roland's comments at the daytime meeting were just a way to get her to come over in the evening, which is why she came.

And in fact it is true.

After Mary entered, Roland had her sit on the sofa used for receiving guests, brewed a pot of tea, and poured a cup for each of them.

"Merry, since you're here, you must have thought about this a lot beforehand, so I'll be frank with you—do you want to join us?"

Upon hearing Roland's words, Merry took the teacup and looked at Roland.

"As expected, you seem to be a well-organized, powerful, and structured organization... But don't tell me about those things, since my situation is different from Mordred's and Joan of Arc's."

At this point, Mary still didn't give a direct answer, but instead continued talking to herself.

“There are no traitors among the guardians of Alaya. On the side of the Heroic Spirits, there are often some reckless individuals, but they can never escape the framework itself. Although I am not strictly speaking a Heroic Spirit or a guardian, I am nominally a guardian and a Heroic Spirit. Moreover, I am not dead, I am still alive, I am still a candidate for Grand Rank, and I have obtained the beastly power of manifesting alone.”

"Having multiple identities has its advantages. For a viewer like me who enjoys watching entertainment, having multiple identities means that I can get involved in and observe almost anything, and it can even broaden my horizons. Perhaps some people think that my way of life is very free."

At this point, Mei smiled.

"Compared to those who were driven to the Inner Sea of ​​Stars or forced to leave, I am truly free. Even compared to guardians or heroic spirits, I am freer. Even some villains are not as free as me."

"But... everything comes at a price."

Mei Li's smile was very pure.

There was no smugness, no dissatisfaction, no complaints or sarcasm.

Her smile resembled a lotus flower, a sliver of pure white moonlight falling on the snow.

But Roland understood what she meant.

He was no longer the same person he was when he first transmigrated. Especially after he acquired more and more identities and met more and more people, his horizons broadened, and Roland gradually came to understand some social matters.

For example, this is the way many people in Britain speak.

The things he said earlier were very polite and gentlemanly, but you can just listen to them and leave it at that.

What they really want to express is often placed after a "But," a very inconspicuous expression.

Then Merry's meaning is quite clear.

“You do have many identities within the framework, but these identities also limit you and can give many people a misconception, causing them to overlook something.”

At this point, Roland's eyes deepened.

"So, whether it's you or Merlin, you two are actually prisoners of the world, sentenced to life imprisonment by the world, locked up in one place year after year, and not allowed to come out until the world is destroyed."

"And the identities you use are nothing more than temporary release permits given to you by the world to make you work for them."

"If having more of these licenses equates to freedom, then that is indeed a rather sad thing."

"However, we're not going to discuss freedom today..."

Roland first picked up on what Mary was saying, letting Mary know that he understood her situation, before bringing the topic back on track.

"But I still extended an invitation to you."

As Roland said this, his and Merry's eyes met.

At that moment, Mary, who was very good at deception and was even called a great liar by the Knights of the Round Table, knew very well that Roland was serious.

This made her frown, somewhat puzzled.

"Can you really free me from the two great forces of restraint, from the imprisonment of the world?"

"I can."

"...Why?"

Mary couldn't understand.

"The price to bail out someone like me must be enormous, right? Do I have the value to match that price?"

Although Mary was a fun-loving person, she was very clear-headed.

Therefore, the more lucid she became, the less she could understand Roland's actions at that moment.

Even lust at first sight, which is the easiest thing to make people lose their minds, is impossible!

After all, reality has long proven one thing: for most people, lust can't even overcome wealth and status. It only seems so appealing because it easily makes people lose their minds and anyone can fall into it.

So someone like Roland must need to demonstrate some kind of value...

But what is this value?

When Lan heard Mei Li ask that question, she laughed instead.

“You are a very clear-headed person, which is one of your values, so you must be able to calculate all your value clearly—but people are different, and value is not constant.”

"You don't have unimaginable value to me, nor are you irreplaceable, so if it really takes a huge price to poach you, I won't extend an invitation to you."

So, are you coming to my place?

Roland's words were very straightforward, and his words actually reassured Mary quite a bit.

Even the expression on her face returned to its usual unserious state.

"Oh dear, who would want to stay in prison if they could avoid it?"

"I would agree to change prisons, even just to change my mood."

As soon as she said those words, Roland's [God Group System] gained another member, increasing from 41 to 42, and her enhancement points also increased to two.

Meanwhile, Mei Li also experienced various benefits from the God Group the moment she joined it.

Before inviting Melly, Roland slightly edited this part using his control over the [God Group System], so that various information about the God Group would automatically appear in the minds of members when they joined.

So after successfully inviting Merry, Roland sent her back to organize this information.

During this time, Mary once said with a smile that she was willing to stay. Roland could also see that after gaining a preliminary understanding of what the Gods were and realizing that he could really get out of prison, Mary was serious when she said that.

If Roland really wanted to, then Merry wouldn't refuse; she might even take the initiative.

But Roland chased her away.

Because he still has things to do tonight.

That means going to Alaya and Gaia to ask for people back.

He could just say hello about Melie's matter, but after that, Gaia and Alaya asked him to stay the night.

The next morning, Roland, unusually late for getting up, watched as Mary appeared first as if nothing had happened, followed by Roland, who was carrying a thermos and yawning. Mordred's mind involuntarily began to replay the events of her dream...

In my dream I...

Cough cough, it's the scene of my father's defeat and disarray after he was killed!

How embarrassing!

And Meili... is she really that much better than her father in this respect?

.....deficit..

184. System, add points!

Currently, Einzbernburg and Sieg are already at war, but unlike Sieg, where the Heroic Spirits are preparing with all their might and embarking on an expedition, there is absolutely no sign of war in Einzbernburg.

Most people sleep until they naturally wake up, and then do whatever they're supposed to do according to their own plans.

Rin Tohsaka has almost finished recording all the data about traveling between parallel worlds, and is now doing the final finishing touches.
