A few minutes later, Luo Zhen and Ma Xiu had left the iron tower and returned to the burning town.
It was too conspicuous to stay on that iron tower, so Luo Zhen could only let Ma Xiu take him away, find a temporary stronghold as quickly as possible, and hide in it to avoid a second attack.
That being said, the so-called stronghold is actually just one of the buildings in this ruined town.
But no matter what, the two of them at least had a chance to breathe.
However, when they came back to their senses, the two of them looked at each other, both falling into indescribable complex emotions.
"Um...are you okay? Senior?"
"... Well, no problem."
"Then...is there anything abnormal about your body?"
"I think should not be?"
"That...that's good."
"Um…"
After a very brief conversation, both of them fell silent.
Luo Zhen raised his eyes and looked at the girl who looked awe-inspiring and a little uneasy. He couldn't help but sigh and took the lead in breaking the silence.
"Anyway, let me understand the situation first." Luo Zhen asked Matthew in a calm tone: "If I guessed correctly, Matthew, you have indeed become a servant, am I right? "
This is already an irrefutable fact.
Luo Zhen, who had already escaped from the unexpected situation, had long felt something that he had ignored before.
That was the vague connection between him and Mashu.
This connection is like an invisible channel connecting himself and Mash. Ling Luo can easily send his magic power into Mash's body, and he can also use the command spell on the back of his hand to control Mash. Xiu ordered.
Luo Zhen knew exactly what this meant.
this means…
"You have made a contract with me as a servant, right?"
Luo Zhen asked this question word for word.
In response, Mashu nodded, shook his head, and made corrections.
"I did make a contract with my seniors, and I did gain the power of a servant, but in this state, I am not considered a regular servant."
At this point, Ma Xiu's tone paused slightly, and then he said this.
"I have now become a ."
Upon hearing this, Luo Zhen's first reaction was not surprise, but a wry smile.
"Sure enough...is that so...?"
.
This is not a special Servant, but something created by human hands.
Although the so-called servants possess inhuman strength and can provide amazing combat effectiveness, they are heroes, legends and fantasies of the past. Each one of them has extraordinary will and belief, and wants to serve as an agent. It is a bit unrealistic for the devil to do whatever he wants.
In other words, the servant may betray the master, or even disobey the master's orders, disobey the command, or even harm the master in turn, causing the summoner to steal the chicken but lose the rice.
It is to prevent this situation from happening that the Command Seal came into being.
The command spell is a three-time command power. There are three strokes in total. Each stroke is a command. The original intention of its creation is to forcefully control the followers and make the followers obey the master's command.
Chaldea then redesigned this command system to cooperate with the Heroic Spirit Summoning System, so that the Master who contracted with the Servant can also possess the Command Spell.
However, Chaldea's command spell does not focus on the aspect of control, but is specialized in the aspect of support, abandoning the power of forced command, and plays a miraculous effect in strengthening and healing the servants. The control over the servants is, at best, similar to a curse.
Of course, if all three command spells are used at once, it is not impossible to force the followers to command.
Anyway, with the magic power provided by Chaldea, the masters can obtain one command spell every day, and the command spells can be fully recovered in three days. They can still be used when it is time to use them.
However, if the servant does not obey the command and has to use the command spell every time to control it, it will also cause great trouble and is not conducive to the battle at all.
In addition, the servant itself is a spirit body, and its existence itself requires the consumption of magic power. In order to make up for various shortcomings, Chaldea launched an experiment.
"The fusion of humans and heroic spirits..."
That's right.
The fusion of humans and heroic spirits.
This is one of the studies that has been ongoing for more than ten years, and it is Chaldea's Experiment No. 6.
"By merging with the heroic spirit, the experimental subject can not only obtain the power of a servant level, but because it is not a spiritual body, it does not need to consume magic power just to exist. What is even more rare and valuable is that it can obey orders and avoid various disadvantages. This is 〈subserver〉.”
Luo Zhen looked at Ma Xiu and made a somewhat bitter sound.
"Is this experiment actually completed now?"
The experiments on sub-servants were carried out more than ten years ago, but so far they have not been successful.
Luo Zhen never expected that this experiment would be completed under such circumstances.
Matthew said so.
"After all, that's what I was born for."
Mashu's words without any fluctuation made Luo Zhen clenched his fists.
Now that things have happened, there is no need to even say it.
Matthew is one of the subjects of this experiment.
This is Mashu’s past, and the fate and life he had two years ago before he appeared in Chaldea.
It was not until two years ago that the girl was finally liberated due to the failure of the experiment and could appear openly in Chaldea, but she still became an inhuman body.
"What the hell...!"
Luo Zhen couldn't help but cursed.
After a while, Luo Zhen's clenched fist was held by a pair of soft hands.
"Please don't be so angry, senior."
Ma Xiu used his own hands to gently wrap Luo Zhen's clenched fist.
There was also a peaceful smile on his face.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with that."
Mash’s straightforward words echoed around her.
"At least, now I have the power to protect my senior. I feel very happy to be able to fight with my senior as his servant."
This is definitely not a lie.
The girl named Mashu must be grateful for the current situation from the bottom of her heart.
"If it were me now, I would be able to fight."
Ma Xiu smiled at Luo Zhen.
However, this girl didn't know that her smile made Luo Zhen feel distressed.
(What do you mean by being very happy?)
Luo Zhen recalled the look in Ma Xiu’s eyes he saw not long ago.
In addition to the usual trust, there is something else in those eyes.
That thing is called fear.
(On the one hand, I am happy because I have gained strength and can fight with me, but on the other hand, I am afraid of the battle itself...)
Luo Zhen held Ma Xiu's hand, and while exerting force, he made a decision in his heart.
(I will never let her face all this alone...)
(absolute…)
