Shen He and Artoria first met in the world of Akagi Zan.

At that time, she was still Heida.

It was a bit wrong to say that he helped her a lot. After all, it was not Artoria's responsibility to save the only people left in the world of Akagi Zan.

She just brought her feelings for her homeland into that world.

But now.

Artoria helped to improve his great image, and Shen He naturally wouldn't say anything.

Mordred was obviously a little shocked.

The difference was too big.

Not only did she not help her father, she even betrayed her father in the end, while Shen He helped her a lot in the mouth of her father.

Unexpectedly,

when she met her father again, the traces of others had been deeply imprinted on her father, whether it was his character or his heart.

They had all been changed by other people.

And what surprised her even more was still to come.

No effort was wasted.

It was really a complete smooth push all the way.

Any enemy, even those servants that she had to admit were threatening, and even the mastermind behind the scenes, seemed to be completely non-threatening in Shen He's hands, and was defeated very easily.

He didn't even have time to say anything harsh.

And looking at the calm look on his father's face,

he was obviously used to it.

Until the end, when the Lightning King simply disappeared in Shen He's hands, Mordred had to admit it.

"In terms of strength alone, you are indeed qualified to be your father's master." Her expression was complicated.

"It's not just strength." Shen He shook his head, "It was me who helped Altria get over her knot, and it was me who made her accept the fact that the kingdom was destroyed, but in fact, my power has the ability to prevent the destruction of the kingdom."

"What——!" Mordred was obviously shocked.

"Time is also under my control." Shen He stretched out his hand, "I can create a new timeline in which her kingdom is not destroyed."

With the current strength, it is indeed possible.

It is not a difficult thing to do.

Even when he first met Altria, with the help of the enhancement card, he could even let Saiki Kusuo travel through time.

But——

"That's meaningless." Altria said softly, "It's just self-consolation. My kingdom has been destroyed. Even if I create a happy kingdom again, I can't forget the eyes of those unfortunate people. This pain is what I should bear, Mordred, just like you can't forget the pain of betrayal. All we can do is bear it."

"..."

Mordred's expression was a little unbelievable.

But looking at her father's expression.

She knew.

What her father said were all true thoughts.

It's no longer possible to save it. All the pain and regret can only be borne by herself who sat down and did it all.

"Mordred." Altria suddenly looked at Mordred and stretched out her hand, "The Master taught me one thing. Although everything in the past cannot be made up, he gave me the future. If you want to seek more possibilities, then accept the Master's contract."

"Future..."

Mordred stared at his father's outstretched hand in a daze.

Just like the day she was canonized as a knight.

Heroic spirits have no future. They are just the remains of history, the dead of the past, and will always live in the past.

However, if there is really a future.

Then her future.

Naturally, she hopes to continue to follow behind Altria.

"I accept. I will always serve you and listen to your teachings." Mordred knelt on one knee and grabbed Altria's hand.

Shen He looked at all this and was a little surprised, but it seemed natural.

He knew it a long time ago.

As long as Altria spoke, Mordred would definitely agree.

However.

Altria's opening now was not for his wish to contract Mordred.

But for Mordred's future.

As Altria said, the future is the only way to calm everything. If you want to alleviate the pain of the past, you can only do it in the future. For the heroic spirit, as long as you are in Valhalla for even one day, there is no such thing as a future.

Contracting with Shen He.

Is the only way to have a future.

"Then make a contract, I will summon you."

Shen He smiled. Although he was able to summon Mordred, he was still a little disappointed.

Because, he didn't see Tamamonomae.

That queen nine-tailed fox.

It seems that the situation has changed.

Shen Yun opened the system and wanted to see the up card pool after summoning Mordred in front of him.

Suddenly, he was shocked.

The up card pool of this singularity was not Mordred, but Tamamonomae.

That's right, it was Tamamonomae who should have appeared but didn't.

What's going on?

Shen He couldn't react for a while.

Although there is no rule about what kind of servants will be in the up card pool of the system activity, the appearance of Tamamonomae who didn't even appear still made Shen He feel strange. Could it

be that...

the system has also begun to listen to his own voice?

Shen He tried in his mind, trying to make the up card pool become Mordred in front of him.

The result...

It really changed!

It was the first time that Shen He saw the up card pool change according to his own situation without summoning.

Why did he suddenly feel like he was the real master of the system?

Shen He couldn't figure it out.

But the system didn't notify him, and he couldn't get any answers.

"Hey, where's the contract? Where's the summon?" Mordred was not very polite to Shen He.

But he was soon hit on the forehead by Altria's hand.

"Call me Master!" Altria looked strict, "I don't remember asking you to be a person without etiquette."

Mordred covered his head.

A little aggrieved.

Is this the fatherly love she has always hoped for? It feels a little different from what she imagined.

But at this time, a voice suddenly came from his mind.

"Did you hear it? The summon has been sent."

"Oh."

Mordred was a little strange. This seemed to be different from the servant summon in his memory.

But he still chose to agree.

The next moment, in the eyes of everyone, in front of Mordred and in front of Shen He, two identical teleportation array halos suddenly appeared.

Mordred was sucked in by the one in front of him, and came out from the one in front of Shen He.

"Summoning, is this how summoning works?"

Gudako felt that there was something wrong with the knowledge she had learned.

"No, it shouldn't be like this." Mashu shook her head repeatedly, "But, regarding the matter of Lord Shen He, I always feel that anything can happen."

"Even Mashu said so..."

Gudako decided not to dwell on such things.

On the other hand.

After Mordred digested the news in his mind, his face was obviously happy.

He patted Shen He's shoulder in amazement.

"I didn't expect you to be such a powerful person. From now on, you will be my master."

"Mordred."

Altria next to him spoke again in an angry tone.

Mordred couldn't help but shrink his neck.

She originally had a fearless personality, but this was her father.

"Hahaha, it's okay, Altria." Shen He waved his hand and said with a smile, "Mordred already has this kind of personality, so don't be too critical of the child."

"I knew it would be like this..." Altria muttered.

At this time, because everything had been resolved, the singularity began to collapse.

"You guys go back first." Shen He looked at Gudako and the others.

He still had one thing to do - hurry up and extract Tamamonomae.

The next up servant at this time was Tamamonomae, and he immediately clicked on the ten-consecutive summons one after another, and the summoning stones seemed to be free.

That is, thirty stones were used up.

The summoning was successful.

Another teleportation formation appeared in front of him.

"If you have anything, you must come to help! Your trustworthy fox priestess, caster is coming!"

With a lively voice, Tamamonomae, wearing a sky blue Taoist costume, jumped out of the teleportation formation.

Then there was an exclamation.

"Hey, this time I was summoned by the great Master? Wow, am I liberated? Have I gotten rid of Valhalla?"

Just the information that appeared in her mind made Tamamonomae understand what she was facing at the moment.

Summoned, and then completely bound.

She suddenly came to Shen He's side, with a smile on her face, and her tail swaying.

"In the days to come, you will be my eternal Master. Please give me more advice. I can help you no matter what it is!"

"Now is not the time to talk about this." The big sword in the hand of Altria next to her suddenly hit the ground, "This place is about to disappear, aren't we going back? Master!"

The last two words were bitten hard.

"Go back, go back immediately!" Shen He looked at Tamamonomae, and then at Mordred, and felt super satisfied in his heart.

With a thought.

The figures of three people appeared directly in the castle.

There are two new heroic spirit partners.

Shen He only felt that this dungeon activity might be for him to summon these Heroic Spirits. There were so few Heroic Spirit Servants before, but now it is more and more like the real Chaldea.

"Here, where is this place?"

Mordred looked at the castle in front of him with some surprise.

The information transmitted into their minds did not have anything about this castle.

"Let me explain it to you. You still have a lot to learn." Shen He said with a smile, feeling very satisfied.

Mordred and Tamamonomae.

These two Heroic Spirits are both of the type with super high cooking power. Even if Chaldea does not need their combat power now, how can summoning be based on combat power? Of course, it depends on true love.

After discovering that he could change the up servants in the event card pool, Shen He began to look forward to the next singularity.

However, he soon tasted the evil deeds.

After Jeanne found that there were two more female Heroic Spirit Servants, and one of them was the daughter of Altria, she immediately gave Shen He an angry expression.

"Don't be angry." Shen He finally got rid of Tamamonomae, and then he pulled Jeanne back to the room. He hugged her gently, with a look of having done something wrong on his face, "I didn't mean to only summon female servants, it's just, just..."

"It's just that you liked them before." Joan of Arc snorted cutely, "If you hadn't met me first, I'm afraid I wouldn't necessarily be your wife."

"How could that be!" Shen He said seriously, "No matter when I met you, I was sure that you would definitely be my wife. This is our destiny."

"...Shameless." Joan of Arc blushed a little.

Even though she knew that Shen He was just talking about love, she couldn't help but feel a little excited when she heard such words.

However, she was just angry that Shen He summoned these female servants, but in fact he just had the idea of ​​collecting them.

He might not really like Tamamonomae and Mordred that much. He

just liked them before, so after meeting them, he thought about summoning them as servants.

"No matter what." Jeanne sighed in her heart and hugged Shen He with her backhand. "Since you have summoned them, you have to take responsibility. Whether it is life, strengthening, wishes, or even the future, it all depends on you."

"It doesn't matter." Shen He was speechless. "I may not have enough energy, but I have enough time."

He certainly knew that summoning servants to become companions is not just a matter of summoning.

The future is the most critical.

And with the current number of servants, he obviously can't do the same as in the past, and not every servant has to devote energy.

But he can devote time.

On this day.

Continuing with Nero before, Chaldea's castle once again held a clothing change dinner to welcome new friends.

This time, even Lelouch, who was far away outside the star field, came back.

Although some servants did not come.

But it can be regarded as the most gathered Chaldea servants.

And this is obviously not just a dinner.

Shen He stood in the center of the hall, holding a glass of wine, so that all the servants would focus their attention on him.

"Everyone, our team has gathered so many companions now." Shen He's eyes swept over every servant, "Some of you are even very unfamiliar with me, the Master. This is my fault, but no matter what, our future destiny and time are all closely linked together, so I hope that everyone can cherish this bond." Shen He's

eyes were very sincere, and he received responses from many servants.

Chaldea now is more like a company than a team.

A company whose performance is to protect the world.

Among the servants present, there are veterans who joined first and experienced the early days of the business with Shen Yun, and there are also newbies who joined later and still need time to integrate.
