Ryuga was completely indifferent to the desire to survive shown by the Androids.
Survival is the instinct of all living creatures. There are billions of humans in the world, plus trillions of animals and insects, and 99% of them don't want to die. How many of the living creatures in the world want to die?
It is not wrong to not want to die, but unfortunately, Ryuga never asks the other party whether they want to die or not. If he wants to kill, he will kill.
Since he became an assassin, he has taken a lot of lives, but he has never once held back. It doesn't matter whether it is good or bad, he doesn't ask the other party's difficulties. As long as he thinks he needs to kill, he will kill. No matter how much the other party doesn't want to die, it has nothing to do with him.
In view of this, Ryuga did not hesitate to knock out the Androids.
"Wait … Wait!"
After the Androids' head was hit hard and they fainted, Astolfo, who was kicked away by Ryuga, struggled to get up. Although his face was livid, he still stubbornly stood in front of Ryuga.
"Don't you … cough cough, don't you have the honor of being a … cough ha, a hero!"
He stood up with the help of the roots of the broken tree beside him and questioned Ryuga loudly.
"If you are also a hero, don't you understand? Helping others, punishing the strong and helping the weak, and helping those who need help, isn't this a matter of course for a hero? "
He was obviously quite puzzled and angry at Ryuga's indifference and even turned around to attack him.
"Do I look like a good person?"
Ryuga lifted the collar of the Androids, and then looked at Astolfo. "Unfortunately, I am not a hero. Also, the so-called honor of a hero you speak of, refers to the generosity of others?"
"Huh?"
Astolfo was taken aback, with a puzzled look on his face.
"This Android was made by the Yug-Domirenia. In other words, he is the property of this race. It is true that he has given birth to himself, but his body and life were given to him by this race. If it was hundreds of years ago, he would be no different from a slave. Of course, this race can demand value from him."
Ryuga's face did not waver. Instead, she looked at Astolfo coldly.
"And your action as a hero is to take away the property of this clan without the consent of the master and set them free. You call it the glory of being a hero. If this is the glory of being a hero, then it's really eye-opening."
"This … this …"
Astolfo was at a loss for words.
From his point of view, he had indeed helped a life in need, but from the perspective of the Yug-Domirenia, he was undoubtedly a thief who had robbed them of their property.
"Not only that, but if this race really wants to get this Android, it's useless no matter where you take him. Afterwards, this race will definitely find him again and continue to use him as a consumable. They may even implicate innocent people along the way."
Ryuga carried the Androids and arrived in front of Astolfo, her face still cold.
"If you really want to save him, what you should do is not to take him out, but to negotiate with Danek and make this Android your property. Then, if you want to set him free or do something else, no one will stop you."
"…"
Astolfo was immediately dumbfounded and could not say a word.
Although his rationality has evaporated, it is only because he is too emotional and does not think about the consequences. He has not lost the ability to think.
When Ryuga said this, he felt that it was very reasonable.
Although from the way Ryuga looked at him, he could only see the word "idiot".
"But, what should I do to make this child my property … Wait, what are you doing?!"
Astolfo was thinking when he suddenly exclaimed, looking at Ryuga's hand that was reaching over with a wary look.
"Bang!"
Liu Xia didn't pay attention to his vigilance. She stretched out her hand at lightning speed and knocked him on the head, causing his eyes to turn white and he fainted just like the Androids. Liu Xia used the same trick to grab him by the collar.
"Why are you following me?"
Immediately, Ryuga turned around and looked in the direction behind her.
Under the moonlight.
A girl holding a flag came out of the forest.
The bright moonlight sprinkled on her body, making her look as pure as the Goddess of the Moon, and her whole body was full of holy brilliance.
This girl is Saint Joan of Arc, who ran over with Ryuga.
"Sorry, I just care a little bit."
Saint Joan of Arc apologized to Ryuga, and then a little helplessness appeared on her face.
"To be honest, when I saw the Androids in the castle before, I also had the idea of rescuing them from the sea of suffering, but in the end, I didn't put it into action. So when I heard what Black Rider did, I was very surprised, so I came to take a look."
After all, she is a Saint Joan of Arc. Seeing the difficult situation of the Androids, it is natural for her to want to help.
It's just that because she still has a brain and her brain is still rational, she didn't really do that kind of thing, but after hearing that Astolfo did what she couldn't do, she naturally became very concerned about this matter.
"Please rest assured, I won't stop you."
Under Ryuga's gaze, Saint Joan shook her head. "I do hope that the child can escape from here, but I won't do it for him. This may also be some kind of bad luck … I am just a follower, and I will only wield my sword to protect the fairness of the Holy Grail War. I will abide by the rules of modern times."
"That's good."
Ryuga glanced at Saint Joan, then turned around, picked up Astolfo and the Androids in her hands, and then jumped up and rushed towards the castle.
"Sigh."
Saint Joan let out a long sigh, and a wry smile appeared on her face.
She did have the idea of saving people, but that was just an idea, and this idea was obviously contrary to her duty to protect the fairness of the Holy Grail War.
The Androids were innocent, and everyone knew this.
But understanding was one thing, and the reality was that she had to make a choice.
In the end, between the Androids and the rules of the Holy Grail War, she chose to abide by the rules and not protect the innocent Androids.
Just like in the past, she chose to defend France on the battlefield of the Hundred Years War between England and France, and waved a butcher's knife at the soldiers of England.
For this Holy Grail War, fairness overrides everything else, and it is something she must give up other things to guard.
Saint Joan turned around, but instead of going to Mirenia, she walked towards the town of Tulifas at the foot of the mountain.
She will not try to save people, but she will engrave this incident in her heart as a regret.
