Gate of the Cross

Chapter 189 Relians Research Tower

"Does Ashafu like me?"

Xinjie heard Rin Farsaka's words and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Tosaka Rin carefully observed Xinjie's expression. After finding that he only showed a little surprise and no other superfluous expression, he could only sigh and say, "Xinjie, you are really unexpectedly dull."

"I agree." Saber also nodded and said.

"I thought you would be happy when you heard the news." Rin Tosaka added another sentence.

"Happy, why?" When Xinjie heard Rin Tosaka's words, he felt that it was more inexplicable than hearing that Xiafu liked him. Why should he be happy?

Seeing that Xinjie's expression did not look fake, Rin Tosaka could only shake his head, "Really... I don't know what to say about you, Xinjie, let me ask you, what do you think of Ashif?"

"Well, he is an excellent magician and a trustworthy person as a partner." Xinjie said honestly, "She is the greatest magician in the legend."

"Yes!" Rin Tosaka patted his hands, "Don't you feel proud and happy that such a great magician likes you?"

Rin Tosaka said naturally, "What's more, the other party is still such a beautiful beauty. As a man, shouldn't your first reaction be happy after hearing such news?"

Xinjie didn't say anything. If you think about it carefully, what Rin Tosaka said doesn't seem to be wrong. From the perspective of a girl, there is no need to question the beauty of Ashafu. As a magician who has been famous for thousands of years in history, there is no need to say about Ashafu's strength, even the mentor of the magicians of the Kingdom of France today - the witch Dilsia. It is also publicly admitted that although she believes that she is already the first magic tutor in the mainland, she still has a long way to go compared with Ashiafu.

"It makes sense."

Xinjie nodded.

"Well, I knew that men are all like this." Rin Tosaka said to Saber, "Thanks, we have been talking to him just now."

Unexpectedly, Xinjie's next sentence made Rin Tosaka almost swallow her words back: "But what does it matter to me?"

"What people like is you!"

"How do you know?"

"It can be seen from her tone of voice that this is too obvious! And in the end, she has been watching you say 'You must survive!' If you don't like you, you will believe it!"

"Saber, what do you think?"

Xinjie did not answer, but turned to Saber. Saber heard Xinjie's words and thought about it carefully before answering, "Although I don't understand what's going on, I think what Lin said makes sense, and I can also feel the girl's trust and concern for Xinjie."

"Look, should I believe it now?" Rin Tosaka has the posture of a winner.

"Even so, there is nothing to be proud of." Xinjie shook his head, "She and I live at different times. What she likes is me who fights side by side with her, not me who goes back to thousands of years ago."

Xinjie's calmness surprised Tosaka Rin, "How dare you think so? But she clearly said it was you, Xinjie!"

"Yes," Xinjie nodded, "So now let's go to the Rollens Research Tower as soon as possible and tell you everything I know about here on the way."

On the way to Lorenstad, Xinjie told Saber and Rin Tosaka of his conversation with Palukes and Riyong, and also told them his own guess, "... So we should be on the eve of the battle with Imperial Prime Minister Roens."

"If this is the case, haven't we traveled through four thousand years of time and space?"

Although she was very dissatisfied with Xinjie's opening the topic about Ashafu, Rin also felt that what happened to her was strange enough. She, who was participating in the Holy Grail War, was teleported to a different world that was thousands of miles away, a country without a Holy Grail, and then came to this world for 4,000 A few years ago, it was just like a novel.

"It's not impossible. That stone tablet is as powerful as the Holy Grail. Xinjie, we must find that stone tablet as soon as possible. I can feel that it is the key to our return to the future."

"Well, that's what I think." Xinjie nodded, "By the way, give me some bread and water."

"Ah!"

Saber remembered that Xinjie had hardly eaten anything after that battle, and hurriedly took them out and handed them to Xinjie.

"Xinjie, this is my dereliction of duty. I won't let this happen in the future." Saber looked a little ashamed.

"It has nothing to do with Saber." Xinjie said a short sentence and began to focus on dealing with these foods. He was really hungry and thirsty. Just now, he temporarily forgot about it because he was shocked by the sudden arrival of four thousand years.

"Lord Xinjie, you are finally here!"

Along the Village of Destruction, of course, it is not yet called by this name. Now this is the underground of Arthurian, the capital of the empire. After walking for about half an hour, several people arrived in front of the tallest building here, Lorenstad.

As soon as I approached, someone greeted me.

This is a man dressed like a soldier. He quickly saluted after seeing Xinjie. "I'm Perus, the captain of the first team of the First Army of the Imperial Resistance Army. Lord Yeka has already left first with some people. He told us to follow your orders after you come here."

Perus only saluted Xinjie, completely ignoring Saber and Rin Tosaka behind him. He thought that these two should be Lord Xinjie's attendants. Since he followed Xinjie, there was nothing to ask. So my eyes just swept over the two of them, and I didn't even want to see what they looked like.

"Is this Lorensta?"

Xinjie looked at the towering building and asked.

"Yes, this is the way to the Palace of Loreens." Perus replied, and then sighed: "As long as this battle is over, the country will return to peace, right? Finally... the final battle is coming!"

Xinjie nodded. It seemed that the captain named Perus knew himself as well as everyone else and respected himself.

"These medicines and food were given to you by Li Yong."

Xinjie motioned to Saber, and Saber came forward and handed the food and potion they gave to Perus.

Feared by Saber's amazing beauty and forceful momentum, Perus was shocked first, then came to his senses and quickly took over these things: "Thank you for your hard work! Lord Xinjie, as long as we have these foods and medicines, we should be able to hold on. The previous battle Falken made us suffer enough. This time, with Lord Xinjie leading us, we will definitely be able to defeat him!"

"Snooker, distribute these potions and food immediately!" Perus turned around and ordered to one person, and then turned around and asked, "So Lord Xinjie, are we leaving now?"

"How long has Yeka been away?" Xinjie asked.

Perus thought for a moment, "About an hour."

"Well, let's go now. Are you ready?"

"We have been ready for a long time! It's our honor to have Lord Xinjie lead us!"

When Perus heard Xinjie's words, he stood straight, made a military salute to Xinjie, and shouted behind him, "Pay attention and follow Lord Xinjie!"

"Forward!"

The voices of dozens of people sounded at the same time, regardless of each other, neatly and uniformly seemed to be the same person.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be quite good. These people seem to respect you!" Rin Tosaka touched Xinjie with his elbow and whispered to him.

"The military appearance is good, and the morale is available. It's very good." Saber also said simply.

Xinjie doesn't know what to say. He can also feel the trust of these people in him, especially this man named Perus. His eyes are full of worship, but Xinjie doesn't know where their respect comes from. It seems that he has won the trust of many people in the rebel army, as Li Yong said.

"Let's go."

In the end, Xinjie just said something lightly and stepped into Loreesta.

The Rhodes Research Tower was originally a tower built by the Prime Minister of the Empire, which spent a lot of human and financial resources on academic research. It is said that Rhodes himself is a famous scientist in addition to being the Prime Minister of the Empire. For his enthusiasm for research beyond ordinary people's imagination, he has done a number of studies with the help of the divine secrets brought by Rebelius. The return of soul beads and magic devices connecting different time and space are all from his handwriting. As a scientist, his achievements have undoubtedly reached the peak.

But today, when the empire collapsed, it was transformed by him into a stronghold to prevent the rebels from advancing towards the empire, and sent his general Falken to guard it.

For the rebels, they have to do a simple job, defeat Falken, destroy the boundary, and clear the way for the advance of the large army.

The research tower of Rollens is full of science, which makes Xinjie almost think that he has returned to his own world, and all kinds of chemical instruments fill every corner of the tower.

After seeing these things, the soldiers rushed up and smashed them without waiting for the instructions of Xinjie and Perus.

"What is this?"

New Jie couldn't help asking when he saw that Perus did not stop them.

"Your Excellency, these are the remnants of the empire. According to Lord Liyong's order, all the remnants of the empire must be eliminated!" Perus replied righteously.

Xinjie shook his head, "These are just ordinary chemical instruments. Maybe they will be useful in the future. There is no need to do this. Let them stop."

Xinjie originally didn't want to stop them, and hating the house and Wu are not incomprehensible. If that's all, it's impossible to let these soldiers vent.

But Xinjie saw completely negative emotions in the eyes of these soldiers, which is no longer just a kind of vent, but a naked desire, destruction and destruction.

"Why? Are these all things of the empire? Perus asked puzzledly.

Hearing Perus also say so, Xinjie suddenly felt that he needed to do something. He didn't know whether he was right or wrong, and he didn't know whether it made sense for him to do these things, but he knew that since he came here, some things had to be done.
