Chapter 288 - Chapter 287: Arrival

As the plane landed at the airport in Romania, the screens in the terminal were continuously playing scenes of the beautiful scenery of this not-so-large country. It had to be said, the vast grasslands and forests, or the clusters of houses filled with an ancient atmosphere, gave people a feeling that was so primitive and peaceful.

It was hard to imagine that in the distant past, an unknown number of people had been impaled on stakes and placed along the enemy's necessary path to deter them. The blood seemed to have been forgotten in the distant past.

Even Aslan, after seeing such a promotional video, wanted to have a good tour of this country. Of course, this was not the time to play with everyone. After all, the Holy Grail War was coming, and this time it was a Great Holy Grail War. Darnic was not an existence who would care about the consequences. If one were to truly lose their life because of the Great Holy Grail War, he imagined that the organizer, Yggdmillennia, would not offer any compensation.

Compensation from Yggdmillennia? Dream on. Yggdmillennia itself probably didn't have many assets left. Especially now that Yggdmillennia and the Mage's Association were at odds. With its own position being challenged, how could it be possible for Yggdmillennia to develop so smoothly? Compared to letting Yggdmillennia develop, at this point, they were probably still suppressing Yggdmillennia's various industries. Otherwise, after this Great Holy Grail War, Yggdmillennia would not have been prepared to be reduced to a third-rate small family. But even as a third-rate small family, it was still a height that ordinary people could not reach. After all, with such a large castle, simply selling it could fetch a lot of money... However, in the original world line, this castle was also more than half destroyed because the Holy Grail was forcibly taken away. The price of a complete castle and a castle that was more than half damaged were not on the same level.

But that was also the Yggdmillennia family's business. After all, after Darnic had integrated a large number of magus families, there were now many problems buried within this family. Perhaps after the failure of the Holy Grail War, being reduced to a third-rate family was also a form of protection.

"Lord Aslan, this way!"

A young voice called Aslan's attention over. A young priest with dark skin and white hair was holding a sign. He wore a red church cloak. After seeing Aslan look over, a smile appeared on his face, and he gently waved his hand. He looked just like an ordinary young man coming to greet his good friend.

Of course, the surrounding people were also a little surprised. Such a young man could actually wear that red church vestment. In Romania, a country that believed in Christ, it was normal for a young person to become a believer and join the Church. But to wear a vestment at such a young age definitely showed that this young man was extraordinary.

Of course, Amakusa Shirou didn't care what other people thought. He just waved at Aslan, and then prepared to take him to eat first, before returning to his church here.

Of course, in the process, Aslan also discussed the wish for the "salvation of humanity" with Amakusa.

After hearing Aslan's thoughts, Amakusa Shirou frowned slightly. He had always wanted to save humanity, but he had really never thought about what kind of situation it would be if all of humanity were to be saved. If everyone were to be sublimated, then this world would indeed be equivalent to not having changed.

Amakusa was a youth until his death, and when he was summoned as a Heroic Spirit, he was also a youth. A youth's dream is impulsive, naive, and at the same time, persistent and flawed. Although Amakusa Shirou was not recognized as a saint by the public, as a Ruler who was summoned, he naturally also had his own pride. He would not listen to just anyone's words.

But fortunately, Aslan was an acknowledged Son of God, a saint, a Holy Knight with widely circulated stories in this land. Plus, Aslan was not denying his ideal, but was just raising questions about the loopholes in his ideal. This naturally also made Amakusa Shirou sink into his own thoughts, and begin to think, was his ideal really that perfect?

But no matter what, the most urgent task was to take back the Holy Grail from the hands of Yggdmillennia. Otherwise, everything was just an illusion. If they could not take back the Holy Grail, once the Grail's magical energy was sufficient, Darnic would surely be the first to make his own wish to the Holy Grail. How could a person who had been entangled with the German army back then be a person with a heart of justice? His wish must be related to his own desires. What's more, according to the investigation, that bastard Darnic had not shown any signs of aging for several decades, more than half a century. Based on this point, one could more or less guess some of Darnic's wishes. At the same time, Amakusa Shirou could also be sure that while Darnic was妄圖 (wàngtú - futilely attempting) to achieve long life, he must also have other ambitions, such as surpassing the power he currently possessed, or an even larger power?

In short, what was certain was that Darnic absolutely could not be allowed to realize his long-cherished wish. Otherwise, this world would surely face an unimaginable disaster.

Aslan just casually mentioned this. Anyway, after obtaining the Holy Grail, when the Grail could grant wishes, that would be the time for him to open a space-time channel and return to his own world. As for whether this world would come to an end because of this young priest's wish, that had nothing to do with Aslan. To fight against the direction of a world with one's own strength was not a simple matter. All those who were willing to stand bravely before destruction when the world was about to be destroyed, and then take back the world, were worthy of affirmation and praise.

Furthermore, Aslan couldn't help but constantly lament that the characterization in the anime world line was really infuriating. In the novel and the FGO world, Sieg was portrayed as a little angel, but why did he look so much like a little rogue in the anime? The efforts he made from his own beliefs seemed to be a bit weaker than Amakusa, who was the "villain."

Should he exclaim, "as expected of the magical Higashide"?

After arriving at the church, just as they pushed open the door, Aslan raised his hand and directly pinched a black whip that was lashing out from the side. This black whip was actually a black chain composed of magical energy. The powerful magical energy was enough to prove that this was not an ability that an ordinary magus could display.

Aslan's palm exerted force and easily crushed this chain made of magical energy into powder. Melusine, in turn, thrust out at the first moment, her sharp blade stopping in front of a black-haired woman.
