There was no hesitation in Roland's eyes. When he sensed Enkidu's will to fight, everything was already decided.
The seemingly powerful Chains of Heaven is actually a double-edged sword. It is almost invincible when facing gods, but in front of ordinary people, it is just a normal chain.
Although most powerful heroes have some divinity, there are exceptions, not to mention Roland?
He is not a native of Type-Moon, and he wants to use the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the officials of this dynasty. Moreover, even if he wants to make it up, he is a demon wizard, not a god. Those eight immortal gods born of righteousness can be compared with him.
While being bound by the Chains of Heaven, Roland took a deep breath. On this red road of fire, the earth was melting, the air seemed to be boiling, and the trees disappeared.
Enkidu was caught off guard and took the blow. Even if he didn't die, it was enough for Roland to achieve his goal.
Coming in front of Darnic, Roland flicked his hand casually, exposing the scene on Darnic's chest before his eyes.
"sheep?"
Seeing the familiar pattern, Roland shrugged and was not surprised.
After confirming that Darnic had the talisman on him, combined with his performance, this was the only one that fit the bill.
But soon, he frowned.
The outside of the sheep talisman was wrapped in a mass of chaotic souls. Although it had no effect on the talisman itself, the feeling was like having a small advertisement suddenly pasted on your car, which was disgusting.
At this time, Enkidu, who had been knocked away, came back and looked at Roland, who had already held his master's life in his hands. He did not feel nervous. On the contrary, he showed a relieved expression.
Roland silently retracted his action and turned his gaze to Enkidu.
"You didn't even make a symbolic threat, and you're just going to sit back and watch me do whatever I want to your Master? This talisman is the key to his maintaining his personality."
Although the wisdom of the thousand has been almost worn out, the speed of relearning is still quite amazing with the experience and knowledge retained from the past. With Roland's current attainments, it is enough to see Darnic's core of magic.
"Without it, your Master will become a homunculus with only instinctive consciousness. Is that okay?"
"It shouldn't matter," Enkidu tilted his head slightly and suddenly smiled, "Instead, I think this might be better for the Master."
"I see. Darnic didn't sign a contract with you, but just took advantage of a loophole. So, what did this guy do before, and why did he come to Fuyuki City?"
Roland reached out to the talisman, but did not take it off immediately. Instead, he touched it lightly and poured his magic power into it.
"But even if I ask him, I probably won't get an answer, so... I'd better look at it myself."
Even if it has not been activated, the power displayed by the talisman in his hands is far greater than that of other talismans.
Although the Sheep Talisman may seem ordinary, its true owner can develop many abilities, such as controlling the souls of others and modifying their memories by extending their dreams.
It was through these analyses that Darnic made some achievements in the field of soul, although it was difficult to accomplish such a thing when the talisman was unlocked, not to mention that the talisman was now out of power.
But for a poor creature who had given up even his own existence and completely relied on the sheep spell, he could only let Roland do what he wanted.
If Darnic was still awake, he would be horrified to find that the memories in his mind were constantly flashing back, sometimes blurry, sometimes clear.
The memories of the human named Darnic were playing quickly in front of Roland like a movie, and Roland kept picking out the useful ones, absorbing the necessary knowledge like a sponge.
"Hmm—"
After a while, Roland frowned deeply.
He easily acquired the rare knowledge of the Grand Master Magician, including the changes in spells, the techniques of casting spells, and all kinds of forgotten technologies. For ordinary people, their personalities would probably be overwhelmed, but for Roland, who possessed a thousand wisdoms, they were just a drizzle.
After finishing reading, Roland's eyes lit up slightly.
He already knew all the secrets hidden in the Third Holy Grail War, and he also had a clear view of how Darnic's cautious attitude towards spells turned into obsession.
He let go of his hand and did not take back the sheep charm. Instead, he stood up and looked at Darnic with strange eyes.
He also got an explanation for why the other party had signed a contract with him so readily. Although Darnic also did it, he would not have to fear the idea of being bound by a contract after completing the ultimate goal of this Holy Grail War.
But in conclusion, he did want to abide by the contract.
——Because his goal in participating in this Holy Grail War was not the Holy Grail at all.
"Take your Master away, he will wake up soon."
Roland said calmly, and headed back towards the direction of Einzbern City.
"What on earth are you planning?"
There was no emotion on Enkidu's face, but his eyes darkened slightly. As a weapon, he would not actively resist his master, but after trying his best, it was different because of the enemy.
Unexpectedly, this alien monster actually let Darnic go and even did not take away the precious talisman. This was completely beyond his expectations. In this case, he could only shoulder the responsibility of a Servant again.
"Yes, why? I am also looking for the reason." But Roland just turned his head and smiled slightly. "By the way, when he wakes up, tell him a message for me."
After Roland left, Enkidu walked carefully to Darnic's side, keeping an eye out for Roland's sudden return attack, but he did not find any remaining traps.
"This is..."
Enkidu stared at Roland's back, picked up his Master, and quickly left the forest.
Just after placing the Master on the sofa in the base, Danic raised his heavy eyelids again.
"Lancer? Where are we…"
As he spoke, Darnic ignored the pain in his body and subconsciously touched his chest. Even though he knew that being conscious meant the talisman was still there, he still had to use primitive movements to confirm this.
"Roland let us go? What does that guy want to do?"
"He only asked me to tell you one thing." Enkidu looked complicated and imitated Roland's hoarse and low tone.
"——No one can stop their nails from growing, and no one can suppress their innate nature, so just do it."
These words made Darnic's pupils shrink. He subconsciously observed Enkidu's expression, and spoke slowly after finding nothing unusual.
"Didn't the guy tell you anything?"
"No."
"I see."
Has Roland seen through my intentions? Or does he want to use me to get the Holy Grail?
No, I can't hesitate! I want to do big things, big things!
The three Command Seals are still there, the talisman has not been taken away, and Lancer is still the lamb that cannot resist in my hand, a sacrifice to be slaughtered.
I am the Master, Darnic! My position remains unshaken!
When I become one with the Servant, the outer shell of this talisman will be shattered, and the power within it will be released. With the help of the spiritual connection, I will become the first host of this power.
At that time, no matter what your plans are, I will have nothing to fear with this divine power.
