Chapter 687 - Persuade to surrender

Tristan controlled the silk thread and followed the black-purple ripple, trying to catch up to Wu Ming, who was swallowed up by the black-purple ripple, and then...

He was stabbed in the back.

"Pfft!!" The sound of a sword cutting flesh came from behind Tristan.

"What!?!? Pff---" Tristan was shocked in disbelief, and then a mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth.

He really felt that a Noble Phantasm-like attack slashed at his back, and even if he couldn't see his back, Tristan could still feel it, the slash slashed from the back shoulder diagonally, part of his lower back.

The "invincible" Tristan fell, and then he turned his head with difficulty and looked back.

Two black and purple ripples, just like where Wu Ming had been before, appeared behind Tristan.

In one of the ripples, countless threads belonging to Noble Phantasm Tristan also followed, but these threads all entered the second purple ripple.

As for where the thread that entered the second ripple went, Tristan had no idea.

However, he now knew how Wu Ming was behind him and dodged his Noble Phantasm that penetrated into the purple ripples.

"You should have heard some rumors, I'm not human."

Tristan's Noble Phantasm lifted, and Wu Ming also closed off three black and purple ripples.

Tristan nodded with difficulty and surrendered.

"Well, yes, I did hear rumors that Sir Vero was not human." Tristan started using pronouns.

And since Tristan said it, it meant that he really knew about Wu Ming.

"However, so what, you and the king are still the most respected people by our Knights of the Round Table." Tristan's tone began to soften as if it was "a dying man speaking well."

However, Wu Ming kicked Tristan unhappily.

"Okay, it looks like you are about to leave the arena, but I hold my hand. I didn't hurt your spiritual base."

Even though Tristan was slashed in the back with a Noble Phantasm, and a lot of blood was sprayed, Tristan's spiritual base was unharmed.

Servants are formed by condensing magic power. Whether it was blood, bones or anything else, they were all composed of magic power. As long as the most important spiritual base is not destroyed and has sufficient magic power, then the Servant will not leave the stage.

Generally, when a Servant is injured, he replenishes his magic power from the Master. Even though Tristan was a Servant summoned by the Lion King, his Master was not the Lion King, and he was a Masterless Servant summoned by the Holy Grail.

And not only Tristan, but all the Knights of the Round Table, including Tristan, were all masters and servants. The reason why they were under the Lion King was because they were originally King Arthur's knights. If they wanted to become criminals, the Lion King without command spells could not control them.

This is why the Lion King initially let these knights choose, because the Lion King is not the master, so they have the right to choose.

Whether to become the king's sword in the hand of the lion king, or become the sword that stabs the lion king.

Some people choose to be the sharp knife in the hands of the Lion King, and some people become death counselors. After that, the Lion King's sharp blade will slay the death advisor who wields the death sword.

Because of that, Tristan who was the Lion King's sharp blade, wasn't the Lion King's servant, and he didn't have the means to replenish magic power, so even if the spiritual base wasn't damaged, it would just end up off stage.

"Are you going to save me?" Tristan asked, confused.

Wu Ming nodded his head naturally.

"Since your spiritual base is unharmed, as long as I give you magic power, you can recover."

However, Tristan's face was still full of confusion.

"Sir Vero, you defeated me, I must be dealt with by you, but don't try to use me to deal with the king, in that case, I will use my Noble Phantasm for a while after you heal me."

Tristan chose to side with the Lion King because he was also the source of King Arthur's tragedy.

Although jokes from his previous life were not the direct cause of King Arthur's death, King Arthur's death also had a lot to do with Tristan. Therefore, when he appeared in this world, Tristan decided to stand by the Lion King's side no matter what. Speaking of which, it really became the sharp knife the Lion King needed.

Guessing Tristan's thoughts long ago, Wu Ming naturally wouldn't let Tristan deal with the Lion King.

"You and I are also co-workers. I don't have to use my co-workers to deal with the king. I need your strength, just for you to help me snatch the Holy Grail from the Sun King in the west."

That's right, although Wu Ming felt that he also had the ability to win the Holy Grail of the Sun King, but now he had found traces of Gudako.

When Wu Ming and Tristan fought, due to the constant movement, Wu Ming found Gudako hidden in the distance.

Why did Wu Ming come to this singularity, not just to help Gudako repair the singularity?

And why did Wu Ming go to the desert in the west to find the Sun King, wasn't it just to retrieve the Holy Grail?

The purpose of taking the Holy Grail is to fix the singularity for Gudako.

By the way, it could also stop Artoria's stubborn thoughts.

When the singularity is fixed, even the gods will not be able to influence it here.

After all, the era has eliminated the gods, and the goddess Rhongomyniad will also be eliminated by the restoration of the era.

Although Artoria's accident also caught Wu Ming's attention, she was not someone who put the carriage in front of the horse, and her main goal was still helping Gudako fix the singularity.

And now that Gudako was discovered by chance, Wu Ming would definitely act with the other party.

Looking at Gudako and the others, it seemed that they had just come out of the desert, so Wu Ming was not sure if the other party would return to the desert.

Therefore, Wu Ming needed a helper now.

"I want you to stand in the desert first, to prepare me to seize the Sun King's Holy Grail."

Wu Ming's words made Tristan ponder.

As a loser, he wasn't killed by the opponent, so he wouldn't be a knight if he didn't pay him back, and the opponent didn't do anything to the Lion King, so it didn't seem acceptable.

The words that followed Wu Ming became the final straw that broke the camel's back.

"Don't forget, the Sun King is also the Lion King's enemy. If you can help me get rid of the Sun King, then you've done a great job."

"I accept your offer, Sir Vero."
