Fight Magic with Magic

He made a helpless joke, and Siduri smiled.

Some kings would send their people to their deaths willingly, while others would have their people fight alongside them against powerful enemies.

Although the ways of expression differ, indifference is an element of governance for these kings. In the process of governing the country, people will inevitably die, and they will simply carry these spirits on their shoulders and continue to move forward with the nation.

But Rovey - Siduri sensed that this person would not let anyone die in his place or take his place; instead, he would shoulder the burden of others.

This was the first time she had ever met such a leader; he was very peaceful and approachable.

"If the world hates you, it will hate me first..."

Without realizing it, Siduri seemed to have a sudden realization and blurted out such a sentence.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Siduri was distracted, Rovey asked her.

"No... it's nothing."

Siduri smiled slightly, then extended her hand and said to Rovey, "Please come with me, Mr. Rovey. The King asked me to arrange accommodations for you."

"Um."

Rovey glanced at the palace below and Uruk in the distance, now shrouded in darkness and utterly silent, then nodded to Siduri and followed.

After running around, Merry and Merlin arrived at the place arranged for Rovey, or rather, they had been waiting for a long time.

Siduri led Rovey to an adobe house, which was rather narrow inside and had a classic style.

She invited Rovey into the house, showed him the layout of the entire room, and gave him her contact address, saying that he could ask her anytime if he had any questions.

Rovey nodded.

However, after all this was explained, Merlin Merry a bunch of fruit that seemed to have come from nowhere on the table, Siduri still asked a question out of curiosity.

"Um, Mr. Rovey, what exactly is the relationship between you and Wang...?"

Without hesitation, Rovey said, "Enemy, opponent, we fought once."

"Huh? Enemies...?" Siduri covered her mouth, her expression incredulous.

"But you two don't look alike at all..."

Hearing Siduri's question, Merry popped up happily, then put her arm around Rovey's and smiled, "Haha, Siduri, just think of their relationship as Gilgamesh and Enkidu. They were enemies before they fought, but after they fought, they became friends. It's just that they're both too awkward to admit it."

"Is that so, Lady Avalon ..." Siduri asked, somewhat surprised.

"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes. When Gilgamesh lost the fight, he was still talking about how he couldn't let go of Rovey."

Merry patted her chest and made a promise.

In her view, the current relationship between Rovey and Gilgamesh is definitely the rudimentary form of the relationship he had when he met Enkidu and started fighting. It's a relationship that's more than friends but not quite best friends. Don't be fooled by their constant bickering; Gilgamesh actually admires Rovey a lot and used to ask Rovey every day when he would come.

If one side is truly in danger, the other side will rush over as quickly as possible to mock them and then offer assistance.

The relationships between men are so strange... and so awkward.

Fortunately, she is now a completely female, and doesn't understand boys' matters.

"Really? That's wonderful... This is truly wonderful... After Enkidu left, is there finally someone who can understand the King again?"

After hearing Merry's explanation, Siduri, like an old mother worried about her son's inability to make friends, burst into tears of joy. In the end, she even grabbed Rovey's arm and said earnestly.

"Thank you so much... Rovey Love... The King has a very difficult temper, but he is truly a good person. Please be patient with him... Ever since Enkidu died, he has been isolating himself, and no Human Order him since. The King now carries the weight of this era... but he is all alone. He is truly lonely. It has been a long time since he has been able to fool around with someone so freely... Thank you, Rovey Love."

"..."

Looking at the weeping Siduri in front of him, Rovey frowned slightly, then said calmly.

"There's no need to thank me. I'm not that close to him. His only true friend has always been Enkidu. Of course, as long as that guy doesn't cause trouble for himself, I won't bother him either."

"At least you were able to make Wang smile, and that's enough. For that alone, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude."

Siduri said, "And I believe you will definitely become close friends."

"——"

After saying that, Siduri smiled and left.

After Siduri left, Rovey found a small amount of food among the computer parts on the desk, then promptly hung that perverted Merry by the door to reflect on her actions. He and Anna then went to rest in separate rooms. Their rooms were next to each other, separated only by one wall.

The reason was that Rovey had to be wary of the perverted Merry, Anna had to be wary of Merlin, so the two of them formed an alliance. Merlin and Merry could sleep downstairs. Rovey also chatted with Anna for a while and told her that he estimated he would be leaving Uruk soon to find someone and make some preparations, and asked if she was interested in coming along.

Although Anna was somewhat resistant to humans, after a brief encounter she realized that Rovey was different from other humans, and she felt uncomfortable being alone in the city, so she decided to act with Rovey and agreed to Rovey proposal to form a temporary contract. After all, Servants need the cooperation of their Masters to unleash their full power, and Anna didn't dislike Rovey, so she didn't refuse.

As the night deepened, Rovey prepared to rest for a while. Just then, a group of people suddenly arrived at the small house.

"Hey, Ms. Merry, what happened to you hanging by the door?"

Soon, a melodious female voice rang out in the darkness.

Chapter 236 Defeating True Magic with True Magic

A lively and melodious female voice suddenly rang out from the entrance of the post station at night.

"Hey, isn't this Ms. Merry? How come you're hanging here after only a few days? Are you experiencing levitation or simulating flight?"

A short figure stood in front of Merry and said with a smile.

"Oh, it's Ushiwakamaru... Quick, give me a hand and put me down." Hearing the lively female voice in her ear, Merry, who was tied up and hung at the door by Rovey, hurriedly opened her eyes. After seeing the person's true face, she immediately began to ask the girl in front of her for help.

"Oh well!"

Because Merry usually acts quite decently in Uruk, she isn't as universally disliked as Merlin. Therefore, when Merlin asked for help, the girl named Ushiwakamaru was quite willing to help.

Only--

Brush!

"Wait a minute!!"

Seeing the blinding white light flash before her eyes, Merry hurriedly shouted, but Ushiwakamaru had already drawn the sharp knife from her waist, and the next moment he easily cut the chain made of light.

Bang--!!

"Ughhh!!"

The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground, along with a pitiful scream from Merry, woke up the two people living upstairs from their commotion.

"Merry, what are you doing now..."

Soon after, Rovey's somewhat angry voice came from upstairs.

Inside the palace on the other side—

At this moment, Gilgamesh was still continuing his daily routine, which he had repeated for who knows how long, constantly flipping through and dealing with the piled-up clay tablets.

Merlin, who had been fooling around outside for a while, suddenly appeared from behind Gilgamesh's throne. Gilgamesh, as if he had expected this tuft of white hair that suddenly appeared in the darkness, merely glanced at him lightly.

"It's so late, why are you here to see me? What brings you here?"

"Oh dear, oh dear, yes, there is indeed one."

Faced with Gilgamesh's question, Merlin reached out and scratched his hair, then made no attempt to hide anything and went straight to the point, asking Gilgamesh, "Is it really okay to be so decisive? Putting aside their abilities, you didn't even wait for them to arrive before speeding up the process, intending to finish everything quickly. Won't this cause problems?"

Although he was indeed a legendary candidate for Grand Magus, his opponent, Gilgamesh, was also a candidate for Grand Magus, and on top of that, he himself had been summoned by Gilgamesh in this era, so their relationship was not exactly equal. Of course, he could also form a contract directly with Rovey like his female counterpart, but there was no need; Gilgamesh's Greater Grail was more than enough to supply him with magic.

"You mean waiting for the so-called last Master of humanity to arrive?"

Upon hearing this, Gilgamesh glanced at him and then said indifferently, "Merlin, you seem to like them quite a bit..."

"However, I must admit that their abilities are indeed quite impressive. If it were at the beginning, I would have had the same thought as you, wanting to see for myself what kind of surprises these Chaldea guys could give me. But now it seems unnecessary. After all, I don't have time to assess their abilities or character, and it's more important to resolve the current situation as much as possible rather than waiting for them."

"The current situation is indeed much better than before."

Merlin nodded, which was also a major reason for his relaxed demeanor.

With the situation so favorable, it's time to relax a bit!

"I have already examined this Tablet of Destiny from another world, and it records quite a few interesting things. However, there are some discrepancies between what I remember and what I recall, especially the part about Evils of Humanity. This means things are getting interesting. And since the future has changed, the original plans should be changed quickly. Pay attention, Merlin, the enemies after this Singularity are more numerous than you imagine... and the grand scenes that follow will bring you unpredictable surprises."

Gilgamesh thoughtfully and said.

The clay tablet he lost should have recorded the future of Tiamat and Uruk, the future of Tiamat, the Beast of Return. But the tablet that Rovey returned to him recorded the future of another Evils of Humanity, the Beast of Mercy, Goetia ...

This means that, in addition to the Beast of Return they were originally going to face, they now have a Beast of Mercy added to the mix, making the scene look like a painting of hell. Are both of these Evils of Humanity going to be in the Seventh Singularity?

This development caused even Gilgamesh, who had always firmly believed in the future, to frown.

Changes, changes... things have changed so much.

What's even more worrying is that because of that kid, the future is now completely out of sight, which makes Gilgamesh nervous and prompts him to decide to speed up the plan.

Although I don't know what to do, I can only take it one step at a time.

If two Evils of Humanity were to appear simultaneously, then he would need to consider a new solution. Under no circumstances could he allow [Return] and [Compassion] to appear in this world together and launch an attack on Uruk, because if that were the case, there would be absolutely no way to resolve the situation.

Therefore, Gilgamesh could only accelerate his plan, determined to resolve the problem of the Primal Mother before the Beast of Mercy appeared; or at least ensure she wouldn't appear when Goetia arrived. And now, the only way to deal with Tiamat seemed to be through that very being. But this was only the first step. Even if they turned the chaotic battle into a war of attrition, they absolutely couldn't withstand the successive attacks of two Evils of Humanity. Therefore, they had to find a new solution.

"These are truly turbulent times..."

Thinking about this, Gilgamesh sighed helplessly at the turn of events and continued to ponder.

"Truly a wise king, he has already given this much thought. I'll go back and touch it then—"

"You come back here!"

Gilgamesh grabbed his sleeve, then placed his long axe against Merlin's neck, and said with a face full of resentment, "Although these are indeed extraordinary times, and we may encounter all sorts of unexpected events on the road, you took a full ten days longer than expected, and in the end you still didn't find the clay tablet I lost. How do you intend to atone for your sins, Merlin?!"

"Huh? But didn't we bring the clay tablet back to you?"

When Gilgamesh asked him this, Merlin could only answer with a blank expression.

"Can't you understand what I'm saying?"

Gilgamesh rolled his eyes at him and then said, "I was referring to the piece that I lost, not this one."

As he spoke, he placed the completed Tablet of Destiny on the table, pointed to it, and said, "This is only half a piece. It only records part of the content about the Beast of Mercy. The other piece about the Beast of Return is still missing. The matter remains unclear. So what do you have to say about your incompetence?"

"Um, please give me three seconds to think about how to explain this."

Looking into those narrowed, scarlet eyes, Merlin broke out in a cold sweat. He suddenly had a bad feeling, a feeling even worse than when he heard that the Beast of Mercy was coming.

"No need to explain, just work overtime, and then continue the business trip to look for it."

"...Okay." He replied with a look of utter despair.

"So you'd better do your job well. Compared to that utterly awful Merry, you're much better suited for overtime. I don't want to turn Uruk into that guy's Britannia for her amusement. Remember to keep an eye on her, and stop her from doing anything bad she wants to do."

"That's true. Although she's the same person, she's changed so much that she's almost become an independent individual, detached from Merlin. Sometimes even I can't figure out her personality." Merlin rubbed his hair and then said thoughtfully, "If I had to use an analogy, although she has her own feelings, her moral compass is completely twisted. She's the type who can watch Uruk be destroyed and then raise her hand and shout how beautiful the fireworks are. Apart from Rovey, no one can control her. If left unchecked, it's indeed going to be bad."

"Why did I become so wicked in another world... And yet, it was this kind of person who truly learned human emotions and became the only individual most like a human being."

When Merry mentioned Merlin, his tone was full of envy.

"Ha, isn't this the emotional changes and the unknowns of fate that you're pursuing? So it's true that heartless monsters can never gain emotions, because once they do, they always distort the original meaning with their twisted morality, just like those damned fairies—forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Don't look so gloomy. Overtime work can be addictive, so enjoy it."

Gilgamesh rarely showed a wicked smile.

"Oh dear, I might suddenly die. I still have a task to keep an eye on my other self."

Merlin shrugged.

"Can't you just let me go slowly?"

On the other side, Merry, who was sticking her butt out and head down, had a close encounter with the ground. She used her hands to support herself as she got up from the ground, while looking at the nimble figure in front of her with some resentment.

"Haha, sorry, sorry. After all, you just told me to put you down, so I was a little anxious."

Ushiwakamaru laughed heartily, then reached out and pulled Merry up from the ground. Seeing Merry's resentful eyes, she helplessly apologized, but Merry didn't see any remorse in her eyes.

This guy is the kind of person who gets things done quickly and decisively, and doesn't fuss over details; he's a very pure martial artist.

"Merry, what are you doing now..."

Hearing the commotion below, Rovey came down the stairs and happened to see the petite figure chatting with Merry below. It was a girl holding a samurai sword, dressed very boldly, and with a mysterious tail— Ushiwakamaru.

"Oh dear, there are still guests here?"

"It's been a long time, Lady Avalon."

Soon, besides Merry and Ushiwakamaru, two more distinct voices came from the doorway. Following the sound, they saw two large men dressed differently, one of whom was wearing very little clothing and exuding a Sparta philosophical aura.
