Volume 1 Chapter 12 Artoria
"The summoning begins!" The mechanical voice echoed once more.
"Ding, database connection failed, player automatically obtains qualification for drawing 'Night of Fate' world, whether to draw?"
Ugh! Can't connect to the internet, can't even access the database?! I'm not familiar with this anime "Fate Night" at all! Don't draw a character I don't recognize! Francis from the previous life and the otaku mage from this life are different, he's more independent, although he still watches anime, but it's not that much! Luckily, this anime is quite famous, so Francis has some knowledge of its characters! "Start drawing!"
"Ding!", "Congratulations, player! You've drawn Saber!"
Wow! Am I starting to get lucky?! Francis thought excitedly, after all, did he really draw a beauty?! He carefully stared at the round disc in front of him, last time Dis was how it came out, Francis didn't notice at all, this time he must study it carefully.
A disc shot out a faint light, and if you weren't careful, you couldn't see it at all. The beam of light shone directly under Francis' feet, forming a complex magic circle about three meters in diameter right in front of him! "It didn't seem like Dis made such a big fuss last time!"
The magic circle emitted a white glow outward, and after a while, a figure rose from the magic circle! "Ah! Here it comes!"
"Servant, I have summoned you! Are you my Master?" The figure's owner wore a blue long dress with silver-gray armor on her hands and chest.
Looking at Saber in front of him, with her golden hair, silver bell-like voice and emerald green eyes, Francis, who had always claimed to have an oriental aesthetic sense and liked black-haired and black-eyed orientals, couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder. The girl in front of him was indeed very beautiful!!
Suddenly a surge of magical power seeped into Francis' body, and Francis instinctively wanted to resist. Before he could even move his hand, the magic had gathered on the back of his left hand!
"Hmm! It hurts so much!" Francis quickly lifted his left hand, on which there was a bright red magical seal.
What? A contract?! Ah! There's another tattoo on my body now!
After seeing the magical seal on Francis' hand, Saber knelt down on one knee, with one hand on her chest. "From now on, my sword will be with you, your fate and mine will coexist, until the end! The contract is complete!"
"Hmm! Everyone has a different way of making an entrance, huh? Francis scratched his head, looking at the serious-looking girl in front of him. "Get up first! And Master or whatever, don't need to call me that next time! Just call me Young Master!"
The saber on his head shook slightly, and he asked in surprise: "Isn't it Miss? Master!"
Francis immediately turned around, took a few deep breaths to relieve his gloomy mood, and silently reminded himself to be elegant in front of the beauty, not to lose courtesy, as first impressions were important. Turning around, Francis smiled at Saber, whose bangs had now become question marks, "Absolutely not, Saber, remember, it's Young Master!"
With a slightly worried glance at Francis for a moment, Saber seemed to understand something, the stupid hair on his head stood straight up, gritting his teeth "I get it, Master is Young Master!"
Francis burst into tears "What have you understood now!"
"Nice to meet you, I'm Francis, Francis De Xue!" Francis politely extended one hand!
Saber was a bit unaccustomed to this way of greeting, and after being stunned for a moment, she stretched out her hand to shake Francis's. "I'm Saber!"
"Know what? That's not the real name!" Francis said with a smile! Just as Francis touched saber, some data appeared in his mind:
Character: Artoria
Occupation: Knight (Knight King), Swordsman
Age: ??????
Noble Phantasm: Victory of the Contract Sword
Skills: Wind King's Seal Magic Release Magic Immunity (Intermediate/Upgradable) Riding (Intermediate/Upgradable) Leadership
Innate: AA
What are these two upgradeable abilities? Leadership, what skill is this? Is it command ability! Ah, no wonder you're King Arthur, even war skills have! And isn't it different from Dis's a bit! Francis thought back to the data of Dis last time, maybe it's because of the world they're in that's different! As for age, do you have to keep secrets about girls' ages? Francis, who doesn't understand the original work well, didn't know that Saber's body has stopped growing, so her age can't be judged!
"Altoria! Is this your true name?!" Francis asked with a smile.
"Ah! Yes!" Saber exclaimed in surprise, and then continued.
"From now on, I'll just call you Lilia! Altoria is a bit of a mouthful!" Francis made the decision without even asking Saber's opinion!
"If young master decides so, I have no opinion!" Saber said with a serious face!
"Haha! Don't be so serious! I'm under a lot of pressure too!" Francis chuckled dryly, not quite used to such a serious girl.
"I understand! Young master!" Saber still has a serious expression!
"......Alright! Let's go first!" Francis grabbed Saber's shoulder, slowly transferring spiritual energy into the wolf head. The next second, the two disappeared in the black space!
In Marco's room, two people suddenly appeared out of thin air. One had golden hair tied back behind her head, and the other had golden hair coiled on top of her head. They were none other than our protagonist and the newly summoned Saber.
"This is where I live now! And there's someone else, I'll introduce you." Francis said to Saber who was looking around, somewhat expecting the meeting of the two.
Just as Francis finished speaking, "Bang" went the sound, and Dis suddenly burst in, punching towards Saber! It turned out that Dis had felt Francis' breath disappear from his small universe range earlier, scaring him for a moment, only to feel Francis' breath again after a while. However, there was also an unfamiliar breath next to Francis, and his intuition told him that Francis' disappearance was related to this breath! He immediately rushed to the room where Francis was, saw Saber, and without saying a word, he punched and charged forward, his small universe telling him that the enemy was not weak!
Francis had just intended to take Saber to meet Dis, so the two could get familiar with each other, when he saw Dis burst in and charge towards Saber. Francis's mental energy was somewhat depleted at this point, his reaction slower than usual by a beat "Wait..." Before Francis could even finish speaking, the two were already exchanging blows.
"Bang!" Saber used her left hand's armor to block Dis's punch, after all, it was Dis who launched a sneak attack first, and Saber, who had hastily raised her guard, was directly blown away! Saber flipped in mid-air, landed on the wall with both feet, and then pushed off forcefully, charging towards Dis. She raised her head with both hands, made a grabbing motion at empty air, and slashed down at Dis! In her view, this guy who suddenly charged in and looked ferocious was definitely not a good person, and his target might be Francis, so she didn't waste any words and directly drew her sword!
Although Di didn't see any weapons in his opponent's hand, he instinctively dodged to the side!
"Whoosh!" Saber's sword sliced through the ground beneath Dis's feet, creating a long gash about two meters in length. Saber retreated immediately after missing her first strike! The two stood on either side of Francis, silently staring at each other without a word. Their first exchange ended in a draw.
Dys looked at the crack on the ground, did he have a weapon in his hand? Why couldn't it be seen? Was it invisible? In that case, it was impossible to judge its length, which was a bit troublesome! Dys quietly operated the small universe, a golden light flashed by, and Dys had already put on the holy clothes.
Saber glanced at Dis's holy clothes and gripped her sword tightly, and the enemy's momentum grew stronger!
The atmosphere became tense again, Francis saw the two stop and hastily said "Wait a minute..."
But as soon as Francis's words came out, the two immediately rushed towards each other, as if Francis's words were a starting gun.
As the fight was about to escalate, Francis knew he couldn't stop them now! Francis closed his eyes and sought out the feeling from last night. Since he put on the ring in front of that tombstone last night, he felt that his originally violent state could be controlled for a while!
It's this feeling! Francis suddenly opened his eyes and disappeared in an instant, "Bang!" Francis appeared between the two of them! His left hand grabbed Dis's fist, and his right hand pressed against Saber's hands holding the sword. Dis and Saber looked at Francis in surprise, Dis was surprised because Francis could now easily control his own strength, while Saber had never thought that his master was so strong! "Dis, don't be tense, it's our own people! This is a new partner! Lila, this is Dis." Francis said after he exited this state, controlling this state was still a bit difficult for him! Dis and Saber also withdrew their attacks, this fight was a bit unjustified!
"This is a surprise, are you one of us? Where did the young master go just now! A new companion? Ah! That space! So that's how it is! Dis thought to himself, sizing up Saber. Not bad strength! Then he turned around and left, without even apologizing for his sudden actions."
"Are you alright, Lila! Ah, sorry about that, Dis is like that, actually a cold-faced but warm-hearted person!" Francis said with a hint of apology. "Nothing much, I didn't ask clearly before drawing my sword either, young master, were you a warrior just now?"
"Hey! Warrior! No way! I'm a wizard! Can't you feel my magic?" Francis asked.
"I can feel it, and during battle I can absorb Master's magical power through our contract to increase my own strength!" Saber said.
"Really! That means, the stronger my magic is, the stronger you are too!"
"It's not entirely possible, if Master's magic exceeds my control range, I won't be able to absorb it!" Saber thought for a moment before saying.
"Then absorb the magic within me and try it out!" Francis said eagerly!
"Yes!" Saber closed her eyes, feeling Francis' magical power trying to absorb some of it, but as a result, Francis' magical power surged endlessly towards Saber!
"What is this? This magical power is filled with a sacred feeling and it's endless!" Saber was shocked by the magical power within Francis!
"Ah! Maybe it's because I'm a Light System mage, so the magic power feels a bit sacred. As for the amount of magic power? My mental strength is relatively high, so as soon as you absorbed the magic power over there, I refilled it myself!" Francis said nonchalantly!
"Is that so!" Saber herself possesses very strong magical power and a recovery speed far surpassing that of ordinary people, so she doesn't pay much attention to Francis's words! However, if there were other magicians here, hearing their conversation would probably make them faint! For Francis to maintain such high-intensity magical output for such a long time, it should be equivalent to having infinite magical power!...
"Right, I was supposed to leave today! Now it's probably impossible! I'll go and say hello to Dice. You sit for a while! When I come back, I'll tell you about the situation in this world." Francis said after thinking for a moment.
"No need, protecting you is my duty! So I'll go with you!" Saber said firmly.
