When a strong man who is over 2.1 meters tall and weighs 130 kilograms has a conflict and confrontation with a cute little girl who is about half his height in a downtown area, what will be the consequences?
The answer is naturally to attract the attention and discussion of passers-by.
Especially due to the general tendency of group psychology to help the weak and to do things they consider to be good, many people began to point fingers at Iskandar, and even spoke ill of him.
Especially the older women who were bewildered by Little Annie's appearance and overflowing with maternal love, their verbal attacks were full of power, and all kinds of insults, accusations, and demeaning words were endless, enough to make the blood pressure of anyone who heard it skyrocket.
Some simply call the police directly, hoping to have the police arrest this foreign barbarian who comes from nowhere.
In short, it took only a few minutes for the conqueror to break through his defenses and start waving his fists and shouting that he wanted to duel with the ordinary people who attacked him with words.
When the men who were still watching the show saw that the other party was bullying their wives, daughters, girlfriends, mothers, and sisters, they also joined in and began to condemn.
After a while, the civil fight tended to escalate into a physical fight, and the two sides even began to push each other at close range.
Little Annie, who had always taken advantage of her appearance and age to pretend to be pitiful, was no longer as strong as before. Instead, she looked like she had been greatly wronged and sobbed and shed tears.
Anyone who sees this scene will subconsciously think that Iskandar is being unreasonable and bullying a poor little girl.
Seeing more and more pedestrians gathering around, the situation was about to get out of control, and as the master, Weber Velvet's whole body was about to explode.
He never dreamed that just by taking his followers out for a walk to experience modern society, he would end up getting so out of hand.
what to do?
What do I do now?
Just when the young man was completely going crazy in his heart, Anastasia suddenly showed a joking smile on her face, walked straight up to her, covered her mouth with one hand and whispered: "Rider's Majesty
Lord, I think you don’t want to see your servants in the news for fighting with ordinary people, right? Since the Holy Grail War stipulates that it must be conducted secretly, does that mean that once your servants cause trouble?
Will it lead to corresponding punishment?”
Due to the very close distance between the two, Weber Velvet could even feel the hot breath coming from the mouth of the beautiful girl exuding a noble temperament in front of him.
As a young boy, he couldn't stand this kind of stimulation. His face suddenly turned red and he was so nervous that he even stammered when speaking.
"You...what do you want to do?"
"It's very simple. I can help you get through this crisis. But in exchange, you have to tell me that you know all the secrets about the Holy Grail War, including its origin. How about this? Isn't this condition too harsh?"
Anastasia calmly stated her request.
Generally speaking, things like this are basically handled by the Master who summoned the Heroic Spirit.
But little Annie obviously knew nothing about it, and the only knowledge she had came from the notebook written by an unknown magician.
So she eagerly wanted to have a comprehensive understanding of the Holy Grail War, and by the way, find out who were the participants this time.
The most important thing is that Webber Velvet looks like an absolute rookie at first glance, and is simply the perfect target.
If it were another scheming Master, Anastasia would definitely find an opportunity to kill the opponent without hesitation, rather than risk being misled to obtain information.
"Don't you know about the Holy Grail War?"
Weber Velvet was obviously stunned.
Because in his opinion, the beautiful girl with long silver hair in front of him looked like a lady from the moment she appeared, and he thought she came from an ancient family of magicians.
After all, except for magician families with ancient heritage and generally more conservative cognition, few powerful families in modern society can produce such young people who exude aristocratic aura from head to toe.
Anastasia smiled and replied: "No, of course I know about the Holy Grail War, I am just interested in its origins and related information. In addition, I must remind you that if you don't make a decision quickly, the police can
We’re almost there.”
Hearing these words, Weber Velvet's face suddenly changed. Apparently he heard the sirens in the distance, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay! I agree!"
After getting the reply she wanted, Anastasia immediately showed satisfaction and turned back to little Annie, whispering in the latter's ear: "My dear, it's okay, let's call it a day.
I think the conquering king must have suffered enough, and it may not be a good thing for us to continue to entangle him."
"You mean to let him go like this?"
The girl blinked her big watery eyes, and it was obvious from the expression on her face that she was unhappy.
"I have negotiated terms with the other party's Master. He will tell us all the secrets about the Holy Grail War. Only by knowing these secrets can you get the method to reach the root at the most appropriate time."
Anastasia obviously knows what her little master cares about most, and at the same time, she fully demonstrates her high IQ and high EQ, which she has honed in the Russian court.
You must know that although she is a princess, she is not a good baby in the traditional sense. She is closer to a "little devil" that causes headaches. She is the record holder for the most punishments among the descendants of the entire tsarist family.
Especially when she was playing with her peers as a child, she would often win by deceiving, scheming, kicking, scratching and other means.
So despite the fact that Anastasia looks like a noble lady on the surface, she is very similar to little Anne in her heart. They were both very troublesome characters to their parents when they were children.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact, you can get a glimpse of this aspect from the ritual process of summoning heroic spirits.
There are usually two ways for a Holy Grail War Master to summon Servants.
One is to use something with symbolic meaning from the heroic spirit's lifetime as a medium. This item is also called a "holy relic". The advantage is that it can directly summon designated powerful followers.
Taking the Fourth Holy Grail War as an example, Tohsaka Tokiomi, Weber Velvet, Emiya Kiritsugu, and Kenneth all used this method.
So they summoned top servants such as Gilgamesh, Iskandar, Artoria Pendragon, and Diarmuid Odina.
Three of them are the three most powerful knights in the Holy Grail War, and the other one is Rider, who is second only to the three knights.
However, the disadvantage of this method is that if the personality of the servant is too different from that of the master, the result may be an irreparable rift between the two parties.
Among them, Gilgamesh deliberately guided and allowed Kotomine Kirei to kill his master when the Fourth Holy Grail War was coming to an end;
Artoria has always regarded Emiya Kiritsugu as a villain and an enemy;
Diarmuid Odina was betrayed by his master and ultimately committed suicide under the control of a curse.
Only Waver Velvet was lucky enough to summon a conquering king who was more compatible with him.
As for the other method, it does not use holy relics, but directly uses itself to randomly attract heroic spirits to come.
Although this method has many shortcomings, such as not knowing what will be summoned at all, and it may even be so weak that it cannot compete head-on with other servants.
But there is a crucial advantage, that is, the servant will most likely match the master's personality very well.
Ryunosuke Ubu and Gilles de Rey are good examples.
One of them is a twisted and perverted murderer, and the other is a French marshal who is known for his bloodlust, promiscuity, and addiction to black magic. Their mental states are completely different from those of normal people. They are a match made in heaven.
So the same goes for Anastasia who was summoned by Little Annie without using the holy relic.
It's just that as the latter grew older and witnessed his family, servants, and pets being tortured and killed, and himself suffered inhuman torture before his death, he gained an additional layer of camouflage derived from a psychological self-protection mechanism.
.
But in fact, the two princesses have many similarities in personality.
"okay."
Little Annie was obviously convinced by her servant and waved the [Warlock King's Scepter] in her hand.
moment!
A piece of psychic magic that could influence the thinking and will of everyone around him fell from the sky, and the chaotic situation that was still filled with fierce quarrels, curses, accusations and pushing each other suddenly became quiet.
Everyone seemed to suddenly remember something more important, and they all ignored Iskandar, who was standing there with a confused look on his face. He turned around and disappeared at the end of the pedestrian street at an extremely fast speed.
"This...how is this possible?!"
Weber Velvet's eyes widened in shock.
In his opinion, such a supernatural power that affects hundreds of people at once is obviously beyond the scope of "magic" and is almost like "magic".
You must know that in this world, there is a very clear distinction between magic and magic.
Although the former is also a kind of supernatural power, it is defined as something that can be accomplished with manpower, material resources, technology, and a certain period of time. Even if it can be accomplished in a short time using magic power, it is considered magic.
On the contrary, if something is impossible to accomplish no matter how much manpower, material resources, technology and time are spent, it will be classified as magic.
So far, there are only five types of known magic.
With the current technology in this world, is it possible to quietly influence hundreds of people at once?
The answer is obviously no.
As a student of the Clock Tower, Webber Velvet had never seen or heard of magic like it.
As for the relatively close hypnosis magic, it can usually only be used one-on-one, instead of just waving your hand and letting hundreds of people fall into the trap without realizing it.
Of course, just because today's magicians can't do it doesn't mean that Caster, who appears as a heroic spirit, can't do it.
