"Roman, why did you come to see me?"
This is a question that Shinji must figure out.
No matter what name he uses, it cannot change the fact that his core is King Solomon. Others who don't know the truth may be deceived by Roman's harmless appearance, but Shinji will not.
At this time, he no longer cared about how Roman avoided his mental scan. This was the Magic King Solomon, who was at the same level as the two golden servants who were fighting fiercely over there, or even better. Even if he revealed his true identity in the next second, Shinji would not find it strange. Anything could happen to this person. Maybe he was the one who caused Medea's detection spell to fail. Medea was indeed the best among magicians, but Solomon represented the upper limit of magic.
There must be a reason why such a person suddenly appeared and suddenly found me.
Hearing Shinji's question, Roman scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I have never seen the food in your hand. I am a little curious, so..."
"What I have in my hand..." Shinji glanced at his left hand and then his right hand.
Coke, popcorn.
...
...
...
Doctor, are you kidding me
You showed up in this way, and it was hard for me to rack my brains, just for these two pieces of junk food that cost less than 1,000 yen in total. Even if you were an ordinary loser, you wouldn't be so funny.
Perhaps because Shinji's blank gaze was too scary, Roman took a step back cautiously and said in a very weak voice: "... Can you let me try?"
Shinji was going crazy.
Brother, please stop doing this. You are the king of magic, the king of wisdom, the ruler of angels and demons, the greatest king of Israel - my fragile heart can't stand your naughtiness. You are not your father, King David, who likes to talk nonsense, or is this just your nature
Seeing that Shinji still didn't respond, Roman took another step back and said in a weaker voice: "Is it not possible?"
"Sure, of course." Shinji immediately stuffed the popcorn into Roman's hand, took out a can of Coke from his bag and handed it to him, saying weakly, "Eat as much as you want. If it's not enough, I have more."
"Thank you, thank you very much."
Roman said this repeatedly, picked up a piece of popcorn lightly and put it in his mouth, chewing it carefully, then opened the Coke, took a sip as if he was tasting black tea, closed his eyes and sighed with happiness on his face.
"It's so nice, it tastes like freedom."
The taste of freedom... Uh, that shouldn't be the taste of bananas... Ahem, just kidding. It's not that someone doesn't respect themselves, it's just that Roman's intoxicated expression is too damaging to his image, just like the magic of eating food that glows or explodes clothes.
Unconsciously, Shinji's tense nerves relaxed involuntarily - could this person really be here to eat and drink for free? Considering his experience in his previous life, it was not impossible.
However, while Shinji's mood had improved, Olga Marie on the other side was on the verge of collapse.
The reason is simple, Rua, it's so embarrassing.
Idiot, out of touch, weak, these are nothing, Miss Olga Marie is kind and generous, and is unwilling to care. But if it is like this in front of outsiders, it is another matter, this is not only embarrassing Roman himself, but also embarrassing Olga Marie.
"I must make him pay. I must make him pay when he comes back." The girl hiding in the cave gnashed her teeth and cursed angrily.
Roman was oblivious to this and continued to sit next to Shinji, drinking Coke, eating popcorn and chatting.
"Shinji, why are you here?"
"Watching a play."
"Do you need to bring something like this to a play?"
"This is a modern standard. Especially when watching action movies, and the fight between these two is more exciting than any action movie."
"Action blockbuster? What's that?"
Roman asked curiously. The modern knowledge given by the Holy Grail War is just a rough foundation, and many specific things are not involved. Many ancient servants would show varying degrees of amazement and curiosity when they saw modern technological creations, and Roman was no exception.
"A type of movie. Humans perform a play, then record the sound and image using a method similar to recording magic tricks, and then show it in different places for people to watch - that's pretty much it."
Shinji thought about it and explained in a way that was as close to Kamishiro as possible.
"Hmm, I see. Is that so?"
Roman said as he waved his hand, projecting the battle scene in the distance.
"Yeah, almost."
It’s amazing, 3D projection, with sound, he is worthy of being the Magic King.
Shinji said while secretly frightened.
"Action blockbusters are a type of movie that specializes in using extremely fiery and intense fighting scenes as a selling point to give people a strong impact."
"Indeed, their fight was indeed fierce and intense." Roman nodded seriously, "However, I should be insulated from such scenes, as that is the specialty of the fighting Servants."
"Haha, Roman, you really know how to joke." Shinji couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"I'm not kidding, I'm serious. I'm Caster. Do you think this is a class suitable for hand-to-hand combat?"
"Those two over there are Archer, aren't they also engaging in close combat?"
As he spoke, Gilgamesh pulled out a large axe from the treasury and collided head-on with the golden bow in Karna's hand. The resulting shock wave caused the ground around the two to collapse more than ten centimeters.
"It seems that no one has stipulated that Caster cannot engage in hand-to-hand combat. Come to think of it, I have also heard that the three magicians with the title of Grand Master are not actually best at magic, but at close combat. It is said that there are also the names of 'British Sword Master', 'Uruk Axe King', and 'Israeli Fist King'."
"Ahahaha, there is such a thing, I didn't know that at all. It seems that I am completely out of touch with the times. In the past, there were no such interesting things as movies, popcorn, and Coke. It's a good thing."
Roman's laughter inexplicably sounded lacking in confidence, and he abruptly changed the subject afterwards. I don't know if he felt guilty after his trump card was exposed, or if he had other concerns.
"Yes, it is very good indeed."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Just because Olga Marie doesn't understand doesn't mean Shinji doesn't understand.
Yes, the world is indeed getting better.
And it all stems from the decision you made in the end, Solomon.
In the Age of Gods, gods ruled everything, and humans were merely vassals, with a status not much higher than that of livestock.
Only after you returned God's gift and personally severed the connection between man and God did the world truly fall into the hands of man.
It was at this moment that humans became free and began to carve out their own future.
Many magicians complain about why you let the mystery decline, but they don't know that compared with human freedom, the decline of mystery is nothing.
Thank you, Solomon.
PS: Some people have raised the issue of human principles being burned, but there is no need to worry about this. Because King Solomon was not summoned, but King Solomon was summoned to save humanity. The reason why human principles were burned was probably the birth of Mashu, which made Leif say that humans are hopeless.
PS2: If the connection between humans and gods is a big tree, Shanshan was the first to chop it with the axe, and later generations followed suit. Solomon was the most ruthless, directly inflicting a fatal wound. Although it was not broken at the time, it could never be repaired. After the beginning of the AD calendar, all the gods rolled into the inner side of the world, and those who were left became elves.
