Frankly speaking, Medea's appearance is not part of Solstice's current plans.
At least at this stage, he did not include summoning Medea into his imagination.
Because Xia Zhi was originally not very sure whether he could successfully summon Artoria. Looking back on the past, many attempts to summon heroic spirits in this British fairy country basically ended in failure.
——Except for the inexplicable time when the "Forbidden Index" was summoned.
Therefore, he currently only plans to test it to see if he can successfully summon Artoria. If it goes well, he will then find an opportunity to test whether he can summon different heroic spirits with other regional attributes...
This is why he had only reserved positions for three new employees.
However, perhaps because he has the function of the Great Holy Grail, he is too advantageous in summoning heroic spirits. When summoning, he subconsciously locked onto two favorite objects, and he happened to have the record of the last time he summoned them...
The huge circuit in the body naturally connected the summoning array, and directly fired the double yolk egg, pulling out the two favorite SSRs...
emmmmm, let’s assume that both are SSR levels, right?
After thinking about it, this doesn't seem to be very important. Anyway, Xia Zhi feels that these two are SSRs in his mind, whether it is the ancient British knight king holding the holy sword, or the ancient Greek witch with superb magic skills.
Therefore, this unexpected double summoning was still a gratifying thing after all, even though it somewhat disrupted his original plan.
But it doesn't matter at all. Xia Zhi is really not panicked at all. There is nothing to be afraid of. Although he did use a little strategic "art" against Medea in the Fuyuki Holy Grail War not long ago. Processing”…
But that was a last resort.
Presumably, Miss Witch must be a tolerant person and not be so upset about this. She has probably completely forgotten about such a trivial displeasure...
——Yes, that’s what it is.
With such a natural thought, he stepped forward without any psychological burden, preparing to get to know Miss Medea again... Let the past pass, and everyone should look forward to the future. Only in this way can we truly move forward.
"It seems that I met an incredible Master this time——"
Medea quietly examined the individual in front of her, smiling calmly on the surface, but she couldn't help but feel a bit of surprise in her heart. The faint and faint fluctuations of magic power hidden in the opponent's body were like a giant mountain in the abyss, exuding a terrifying sense of coercion.
"I am Caster, my real name is Medea, a witch from Greece. I am happy to serve you."
She suppressed her thoughts, stretched out her hands and gently lowered her hood, revealing long light blue hair and pupils, as well as pointed ears that were different from ordinary people.
The strange thing is that when she wears the robe, she looks like a charming and dazzling witch; but once she takes off the hood, she appears as a simple beauty. This strong contrast is particularly eye-catching.
"It turns out to be Miss Medea. It's our first time meeting you. Nice to meet you..."
The young man's smile was extremely hearty, as if he had no suspicion at all because of the name, as if the name did not arouse any doubts in his heart, and he extended his hand frankly and sincerely.
"My name is Xia Zhi. From now on, we will advance and retreat together. I look forward to our happy cooperation."
"..."
"..."
Medea examined the expression on his face intently, then smiled softly, and gracefully stretched out her delicate hand to shake it gently, although it was just a touch and let go: "As you wish, my Master. "
The Master in front of him was obviously extremely sincere and didn't care at all about her past reputation, although this was probably because of his confidence - judging from the terrifying magic power reserves, ordinary servants would probably not even be able to do it. It is difficult to withstand the strength of his fingertips...
However, none of this matters anymore.
No matter what the reason is, as long as you can trust yourself, that is the most precious quality.
"..."
"..."
Arturia looked at her from the side, looking at her nose and heart, without making any comments.
Although she did feel that something was not right, the current situation was still within the acceptable range. What's more, she was completely unaware of the previous entanglements between the two parties, so it was naturally inconvenient for her to make any rash comments.
There is also an unavoidable thought in my heart that since it all happened in the last Holy Grail War, maybe there is no need to bring it to this summons...
So, she chose to remain silent.
"This one is——"
Medea cast her gaze at her at the right time, with a hint of exploration in her tone, and a strange brilliance flashed deep in her eyes. At this moment, she noticed that the girl's figure and temperament were extremely eye-catching and difficult to ignore.
To put it simply, it was to make her happy and suddenly arouse some special interest.
A kind of curiosity and some special desire quietly grew in her heart.
"Ahem, this is Saber, and her real name is Artoria, the king of knights in ancient Britain..." Xia Zhi coughed lightly and introduced Miss Witch directly, so that the two of them could get to know each other again.
In other words, let's get to know Miss Witch again.
The swordsman girl was not needed, she was summoned with the memory of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City.
To her, that was something that happened not long ago, so it was certainly not unfamiliar at all.
"Hello, I'm Artoria. It's an honor to meet you, Miss Medea..." The King of Knights bowed slightly in greeting. Although she was slandering her current master, she still gave her face and said politely. Cooperate with the Master's introduction.
She just bowed in greeting, but she didn't notice that there was a strange light shining in the eyes of the witch opposite.
The summer solstice keenly captured this subtle sign.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and thought back to that night.
At that time, when Saber was defeated from the hostile camp, Medea also showed a similar strange excitement. He originally thought that this was the witch lady's joy because her tactics had succeeded and she had successfully controlled a powerful servant. .
However, at this moment, seeing Medea showing such inadvertent excitement again, he began to have doubts about this interpretation...
Could it be because of what happened to Medea during her lifetime——
Were you so shocked that you changed your sexual orientation?
After thinking about it for a while, this possibility seems not small. He quickly reviewed the story of Medea in Greek mythology. Under the mercy of those inconspicuous gods, the life of this witch lady was undoubtedly full of tragedy.
Under that kind of drastic turn of fate and impact, maybe it can really make a qualitative change in a person's concept...
But—why Artoria?
Xia Zhi glanced at the swordsman girl next to her, and saw that her skin was soft and white, with shawl golden hair, green pupils, and a face that was very pretty without makeup...
This awe-inspiring beauty is undoubtedly a first-class beautiful girl.
And the most important thing is that this appearance and figure are completely similar to Vivian.
——Medea will be attracted to Artoria...
——Then there’s no guarantee that she won’t be attracted to Vivian too…
When Xia Zhi thought of this, she immediately paid the highest attention to the matter and decided to wait for an opportunity to confirm it with Medea.
"Okay, so now we all know each other..." Clapping his palms to attract the attention of the two ladies, Xia Zhi casually glanced at the summoning array on the ground, maybe he could use it again.
But let’s leave it at that for now, everything should be done step by step.
It was enough to successfully draw the two desired cards in the first summons.
"Then, let me tell you about the reason why I summoned you. You should be able to guess that this is not a Holy Grail War. It is purely because I need more power, so I summoned you..."
"..."
"..."
Arturia and Medea looked at each other without saying a word.
——This person still needs strength?
——Judging from the extremely abundant and powerful supply of terrifying magic power that can fully support the continuous firing of their Noble Phantasms, what kind of power does this guy need?
"First of all, I want to tell you one thing. This land...is an island called Britain. Well, that's Britain." Xia Zhi smiled slightly and directly revealed this bombshell news, at least for Artoria. information.
"What-? How is this possible!"
The swordsman girl blurted out almost in shock, losing control of her expression for a moment.
She looked around in disbelief, looking around at the land around her. This terrible atmospheric environment, a land with such a high concentration of magic power, could it be Britain?
"This is the fact, but the situation is somewhat different. As for why there is such a deviation, I still don't understand. I can only tell you that a long time ago, an unknown disaster occurred in this world... "
The young man began to talk about his understanding of the origin of the British Fairy Kingdom, which was also a pavement to incite Arturia. He felt that after his strong medicine went down, the girl would be able to stimulate at least 100% of her power. The mobility of two hundred.
With this kind of foreshadowing, he could be more confident in persuading Vivian and letting her accept the existence of King Arthur.
——After all, judging from the current signs, Vivian is very likely to be the Morgan...
——Although theoretically speaking, in this world, there is no legend of King Arthur, no King Arthur, no Knights of the Round Table, and there should be no Morgan or anything.
——But for some reason, Vivian seems to have a very clear self-awareness of her other identity.
"...That's basically it. Although there are many differences, there is no doubt that this fairy country is the Britain of this world."
After summarizing the current information, Xia Zhi looked directly at Artoria and showed a meaningful expression.
"And I happen to know someone who was born with the mission of saving Britain. However, it is still very difficult to rely solely on her strength. She needs more help to save the future of this island..."
"...!!"
Artoria's pupils suddenly shrank to the extreme, and her mind recalled the night not long ago like lightning.
After he also expressed his intention to give up the Holy Grail, the man in front of him found an opportunity to talk to him alone, specifically asking him why he wanted to get the Holy Grail and what kind of wish he had.
And I also told the other party clearly, maybe with a little extravagant hope...
However, this person just told himself that he might be able to provide himself with such an opportunity to try, and then walked away. And until the contract is naturally terminated, she is exiled from the world and returns to the Throne of Heroes——
Neither of them saw what the other party did.
She wasn't too hopeful at first, but now, Artoria suddenly realized that this was the opportunity the other party mentioned.
This land is the Britain of this world...
This Britain is also facing its darkest crisis...
And there is also a person who was born with the mission of saving Britain...
This is so similar, just like the situation Artoria faced back then, Britain needed a savior to step forward. And she did step forward, pulled out the sword in the stone, and became the King of Britain.
However--
Not long ago, the girl had just experienced the last battle in her life and witnessed the destruction of her kingdom. The girl hated her own stupidity extremely.
She regretted it.
The king hated Britain's destruction so much that he refused his own salvation.
If she could avoid this death, no matter what price she had to pay, it didn't matter, so she chose to sign a contract with the primate's restraining power and exchanged her death for an opportunity to seek the Holy Grail.
No matter how far she goes, what she longs for is to go back to the day when the king was chosen, change the past, and change the history of becoming the king.
If it were not himself, but another person, Britain would be able to avoid this fate of destruction, right?
——That’s probably what she thought.
And now, there happened to be such an opportunity in front of her. It could not be said to realize her wish, but it could provide a simulated opportunity to a certain extent, allowing her to see what it would be like if another person took the lead. What will the future of Britain be like...
Her heart suddenly became extremely excited, and the swordsman girl bit her lip tightly.
She didn't want to give up this opportunity.

In the camp.
Vivian, who was concentrating on making the doll, heard the movement outside and frowned slightly.
Two strange smells are approaching...
Who did that guy bring back?
She pondered for a moment, put down the tools in her hands, stood up and left the temporary magic workshop.
After waiting at the camp for a while, she soon saw three figures slowly walking back from the night outside. The camp suddenly became quiet, and even the two little lolita, Index and Tetlot, looked confused.
They looked at Vivian standing in the camp, and then at the "Vivian" the young man brought back, with big question marks in their little heads.
Same appearance, same posture.
Even the temperaments are so similar and awe-inspiring——
"Vivian, do you have sisters who are so similar?" Tetrot showed a surprised expression and subconsciously poked the blond girl standing quietly next to her. She was thinking this of course.
Vivian was also a little shocked. She frowned when she heard this and instinctively wanted to retort: "I don't have any sisters..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of a possibility, and her expression suddenly darkened.
She does have a sister.
"Let me introduce, this is the servant I just summoned, King Arthur from another world, Artoria Pendragon..." At this time, the guy opposite was also introducing everyone with a smile, about The origin of the blond girl he brought back behind him.
next moment--
Arturia was originally looking at the girl opposite her in surprise, but then she saw the look that looked like someone was murdering someone.
