I'm really not an old sword

"Or do you prefer living in the basement?"

What's wrong with this guy? He's so rude!

"Don't you need to sleep?"

As long as a servant has enough magic power, he doesn't need to eat or sleep.

Lin Qingsu then remembered this.

However, his two Masters were very humane, and he was used to being a human in the real world, so he couldn't change when he suddenly entered the simulation.

Just when he wanted to tease her and change the subject, another woman's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"I think it's better for her to live in the basement."

Morgan walked in from outside, and Altria immediately gave him a bad look.

Lin Qingsu said awkwardly: "You're awake."

He had originally planned to put Altria to bed and then wait at Morgan's bedroom door before she woke up.

Seeing Morgan come in at this time, I always have the illusion that I was caught cheating.

Seeing Morgan staring at Altria, Lin Qingsu stood between them and said, "There's no need to argue with her."

What do you mean she doesn't need to bother with me?!

Did I offend her in any way?!

He used despicable means to spare me from killing my Master, and threatened me with the life of my Master's fiancée before he committed the crime. He imprisoned me in a dark basement and tortured me day and night.

How come you're saying she's on par with me?!

Even though she knew he was speaking for her, Altria was still so angry that she almost exploded.

"It seems you like her very much."

Perhaps because she felt guilty, Lin Qingsu always felt that Morgan's tone was a little unfriendly.

"I just feel pity."

Lin Qingsu winked at Altria, then stepped forward and gently took Morgan's hand.

"Let's go. You're not well yet. I'll take you back to get some rest."

Morgan was not wearing a veil, and her face was still very pale.

The same is true.

After waking up, Morgan didn't see Lin Qingsu by the bed. He sensed that Lin Qingsu had returned with Altria, so he dragged his weak body over.

Morgan was still very angry about the man's breach of trust.

But when he saw him and saw how carefully he was coaxing her, Morgan's anger subsided.

Without saying anything more, he glanced at Altria, whose face was ashen, and smiled as he let Lin Qingsu help him leave.

However, as the two of them reached the door, they heard Altria's annoyed voice.

"stop!"

Lin Qingsu wanted to pull Morgan away quickly, but Morgan stopped.

There was no other way, so Lin Qingsu could only turn around and ask first: "What's the matter?"

"I have nothing to say to you."

Altria stared at Morgan unkindly.

"Where's Sora?"

With his full strength unleashed, the weak Morgan had difficulty breathing, but his expression remained calm.

"Artoria?"

Lin Qingsu really couldn't understand.

Although he would normally stand up like a lion if he teased Artoria a little, it was obviously a joke.

In fact, she can remain calm in most things.

At this time, he must coax Morgan away first. Artoria's Command Seal is in her hands, and no matter how you look at it, he and Morgan are closer.

If a fight really breaks out, she will definitely be the one who gets hurt.

Wouldn't it be better to let her take Morgan away and then do whatever she wants?

"What do you want to do?"

When she saw Lin Qingsu blocking her way, Artoria's eyes became even colder.

"Step aside!"

Lin Qingsu thought that Morgan might not give in, but she never thought that Altria would get angry.

"Calm down."

"Why should I be calm? I'm just a pitiful creature in your eyes anyway."

Artoria raised her hand and grasped Longominid.

"Let Sora go, or today either I die or she dies!"

So angry.

Although Lin Qingsu often made her angry in the past few days, it was actually within her acceptable range.

Artoria was certainly annoyed, but she wasn't very angry. Lin Qingsu always controlled her temper.

But now, Altria looked really angry.

And it sounded like he was just saying "poor" to comfort Morgan?

Lin Qingsu didn't quite understand.

Morgan could just listen to that, but she couldn't take it seriously. Even if she did, she wouldn't be so angry that she would lose her mind.

"idiot."

Morgan sneered, and the Command Seal on the back of his hand dissipated slightly.

"Kneel down."

The "Command Seals" have the absolute power to command the Servants to obey, and are the exclusive seals of the Master.

If you give an instant order or a specific order, it will have a high coercive power.

Even if it's an outrageous order like suicide, Servants other than those in the Saber class who possess extremely strong resistance to magic have no choice but to obey it no matter how unwilling they are.

Altria's knees couldn't help but bend.

With the spear in his hand planted in the ground, he relied on his B-rank anti-magic power and willpower to barely keep his knees slightly bent.

The green eyes were full of resentment.

Even if Morgan used the Command Spell to make her commit suicide, she would feel more relieved.

But kneeling down is such a humiliating order...

Morgan didn't care at all, instead his interest grew stronger. As he repeated the command, the last stroke of the Command Spell on the back of his hand also dissipated.

"Kneel down."

Altria made the decision almost the moment Morgan gave the order again.

He gave Lin Qingsu a last hateful look, then raised the gun and stabbed himself in the heart without hesitation.

That's where her soul core is.

Similar to a human heart, if it is destroyed, the Heroic Spirit will lose its 'support' and even the most immense magical power will be unable to save it.

But the order was given the moment he made the move.

The spear in her hand fell to the ground, and feeling her body kneeling uncontrollably, Artoria closed her eyes in despair.

However, the feeling of kneeling on the ground did not come, but instead I fell into a warm embrace.

Artoria opened her eyes and saw the man's chest close at hand;

"There's no need for this."

Holding Altria in his arms, Lin Qingsu looked at Morgan helplessly.

"Are you on her side or on me?"

"Morgan!"

Lin Qingsu didn't want to make the same mistake again after just making it once.

Morgan didn't continue to pester her.

"I'll wait for you in the room."

It’s the same principle as Lin Qingsu wanting to treat everyone equally.

Even if she continues to side with herself and pester me, what does it matter even if she knows that Lin Qingsu will choose her?

If it was just her and Altria arguing, it would be fine.

So what if I kill him?

Her real 'enemy' wasn't Artoria, and she wasn't sure she could imprison him at the moment.

Watching Morgan leave, Lin Qingsu lowered his head. Altria was lying in his arms in a daze.

His legs were still hindered by the Command Spell, and he unconsciously wanted to bend them. He could only grab Lin Qingsu's shoulders tightly and hug him tightly. Because he was hugging him too hard, his plump body was almost stuck to him perfectly.

"You have to stand out, and you'll get humiliated."

"kill me!"

"He said 'kill me' but he actually hugged me so hard."

Altria gripped his shoulders tightly, digging her fingertips into the flesh.

Lin Qingsu endured the pain and teased, "Are you angry?"

No answer, but the fingers gripped even harder.

Seeing that she was still struggling with the Command Spell, Lin Qingsu picked her up in a princess hug.

Her knees relaxed, and Artoria did not struggle. She lowered her head and let Lin Qingsu carry her to the bed.

"Don't forget those flowers I told you to take to heart. I was just trying to appease Morgan."

"But you're cute when you're angry..."

Having no experience in coaxing girls, and with Altria not responding, Lin Qingsu didn't know what to say and just babbled nonsense.

"Anyway, I'll make sure she's safe as far as Sora's concerned."

"Just live your life honestly, and I'll have a good talk with Morgan."

"If you ever really can't stand me anymore, then tell me and we can work out a plan, whether to let you go or something else. Or if you really want to fight me to the death, I'll accompany you. But for now, just rest up. Understand?"

There was no answer. After a long time, Altria suddenly bit his arm.

Lin Qingsu took a breath and asked, "Are you born in the Year of the Dog?"

After biting hard for a long time, Artoria finally let go of her mouth, pushed Lin Qingsu away, and curled up on the bed.

Enduring the pain, Lin Qingsu covered her with a blanket.

"Good night, have a good rest."

Chapter 34: Artoria's Self-Reflection

After Lin Qingsu left, feeling the empty room, Artoria gradually calmed down.

Thinking back to what she had just done, Altria suddenly felt inexplicably ashamed.

"What the hell am I doing?"
