"Senior..."
Feeling Luo Zhen's hand caressing her head, Ma Xiu felt relieved and guilty at the same time.
"I'm sorry for making you worry."
Matthew said this with some disappointment.
Obviously, what Luo Zhen just said is indeed a fact.
Ma Xiu was indeed blaming himself for not being able to protect Luo Zhen's situation.
That's natural, right
Ma Xiu has always regarded himself as Luo Zhen's shield. He does not expect to be able to exert powerful combat effectiveness, but only wants to protect Luo Zhen so that Luo Zhen can act at every singularity with peace of mind.
For this reason, Ma Xiu also persisted in training for half a year, just to be able to come in handy when Luo Zhen needed it.
"We've obviously made an appointment..."
Half a year ago, when Luo Zhen left Chaldea, the two of them made an agreement to grow together and continue on the path of laying the foundation for human ethics.
As a result, half a year later, Luo Zhen had indeed grown to an extremely astonishing level. Starting from the second singularity point, he frequently came up with various methods that surprised Ma Xiu. He even made rapid progress in magic and showed extraordinary achievements. Human quality and knowledge have broken through three singular points in just half a month and reached this fifth singular point.
On the other hand, although I have also grown, I am not only inferior to Luo Zhen, but I am still unable to protect Luo Zhen. Even in the place closest to Luo Zhen, Luo Zhen was still hit by Cu Chulainn's magic spear. If it weren't for Luo Zhen's own superb abilities, perhaps, Luo Zhen would be dead by now.
When he thought of the consequences, Ma Xiu couldn't turn a blind eye no matter what, and the feeling of self-blame kept emerging in his heart.
However, Matthew did not show it and always concealed it well in front of others.
Who is Keluo really
"I have known you for more than a day or two. I can tell what you are thinking at just one glance."
Luo Zhen shrugged.
It would be better to say that even if he didn't see Ma Xiu, Luo Zhen could guess what Ma Xiu was thinking just by relying on his understanding of Ma Xiu.
Otherwise, Luo Zhen would not have come here immediately.
"Senior..."
After learning about this incident, Ma Xiu not only did not receive comfort, but became even more disappointed.
"Am I useless? Senior?"
Even Mashu's voice became very weak.
"Why do you say that?"
Luo Zhen felt somewhat dumbfounded, but rarely asked patiently.
"Because, not only did I fail to protect senior, but I also made senior worry so much. I am obviously a follower of senior, and I should solve senior's problems."
Matthew's loss seemed to be out of control.
Regarding this...
"You are wrong." Luo Zhen shook his head and said: "The existence of the servant is not to help the master solve problems, and the master does not enter into a contract with the servant to get a helper who can solve problems, but to Servants will be summoned only when we fight together.”
If you just want to solve the problem, there are many ways.
However, in the face of a battle that burns away even human reason, human power is limited no matter how hard we try, and we must rely on the power of the heroic spirits who are the guardians of the world.
The original "Summoning of Heroic Spirits" was to protect the world and contend with the catastrophe that could destroy primates. Only then did the world itself summon the Seven Heavenly Messengers.
Therefore, the existence of heroic spirits itself is the defense mechanism of the world, and it does not appear to solve the master's problems.
At least, Luo Zhen doesn't need this kind of help.
"I am a Master. What I lack are partners, familiars, and servants who can fight together. If I just try my best to think and solve difficulties, I can do it myself. Just because there are some things I can't do by myself, That’s why I need to make a contract with you.”
Luo Zhen said to Ma Xiu like this.
Although there are some elements of comfort in it, basically, this is indeed what Luo Zhen thinks.
If he could do everything, then Luo Zhen wouldn't need to summon any familiars and servants.
It is precisely because he needs to rely on the power of his familiars and servants that Luo Zhen needs to practice the "Summoning Technique" diligently to the end.
Of course, this is only a trivial reason.
The reason why Luo Zhen practiced the "Summoning Technique" diligently to the end was ultimately to explore the mysteries and master the miracles. Fundamentally speaking, this was the idea of a very orthodox magician.
However, right now, there is no need to say this, otherwise it would be too inconsiderate.
Even though Luo Zhen was far from being considerate, when facing Masuo, Luo Zhen had always unconsciously become accommodating and gentle.
In this situation...
"But, I was obviously by your senior's side, but I almost caused him to be killed..."
Matthew finally told what was brooding in his heart.
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it, right?" Luo Zhen said helplessly: "Cu Chulainn's magic spear is indeed too deadly for us humans with heart vitals. It is more terrifying than any treasure. The cursed magic spear that can reverse cause and effect will definitely hit the heart and cannot be defended. Even if Mr. Scathach is by my side, it may not be able to save me under the circumstances at that time."
This is also a fact.
"No matter how you say it, your opponent is also the Celtic King, the legendary Son of Light in Ulster, the son of the Sun God Luger, the great demigod hero, and you are only an Asian who has only received the power of the Heroic Spirit for less than a year. Servant, if you can make it all the way to this singularity, that is enough to prove your excellence, there is no need to be depressed just because of this."
Luo Zhen rubbed Ma Xiu's head savagely, and while Ma Xiu exclaimed, he smiled and spoke.
"Besides, compared to you, the Golden Crow is closer to me. It's better to say that it is on my body. In the end, it failed to react and protect me in time. The most annoying thing is it."
This is also a fact.
Afterwards, Jinwu was indeed very angry that he had not been able to react and protect Luo Zhen from the magic gun. In addition, the opponent was just the son of the sun god, the son of light of the demigod, symbolizing the sun itself. Being treated like this by the other party made Jinwu extremely furious.
If Luo Zhen hadn't allowed it, the Golden Crow would have appeared directly at that time, using all the power as a god to explode on the spot.
At that time, all the followers present will not be spared, Luo Zhen's magic power will be completely drained, and all the aborigines will die on the spot.
Luo Zhen naturally wouldn't let the Golden Crow do this, and it took a lot of effort to appease it.
"So, it doesn't mean it's useful if you're close. That's the power of the magic gun. It doesn't mean you're lacking in ability."
Luo Zhen comforted Ma Xiu bit by bit.
"If you really can't let go, then try harder next time." Luo Zhen looked at Ma Xiu and said: "The first failure is normal. What we have to do is not to let the second failure happen. Is not it?"
Hearing this, Ma Xiu's eyes brightened slightly.
"Don't let a second failure happen..."
Mashu murmured in a low voice, and then showed a firm expression.
"Yes, senior." Ma Xiu said extremely seriously: "I will not let a second failure happen again."
If there is a next time, I must protect my senior and my master.
The loss in Matthew's heart was gradually replaced by such determination.
Seeing this, Luo Zhen smiled with satisfaction.
