A few minutes later, Rozen and Matthew had left the Iron Tower and returned to the burning town.
It was too conspicuous to continue to stay on the Iron Tower. Rozen could only let Matthew take him away, find a temporary stronghold as soon as possible, and hide in it to avoid a second attack.
That being said, the so-called stronghold was actually just one of the buildings in this ruined town.
But no matter what, the two at least had a chance to catch their breath.
However, when they came back to their senses, the two looked at each other, and both fell into an indescribable complex mood.
"That … are you okay? Senpai? "
"… Well, there's no problem."
"Then … is there anything wrong with your body?"
"I don't think so?"
"That … that's good."
"Well …"
After a very brief conversation, both of them were silent.
Rozen raised his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him who had changed greatly from her previous image. She seemed awe-inspiring and a little uneasy. He couldn't help but sigh and take the lead to break the silence.
"In short, let me understand the situation first." Rozen asked Matthew in a calm tone, "If I didn't guess wrong, Matthew, you have indeed become a servant, am I right?"
This was already an irrefutable fact.
Rozen, who had escaped from the unexpected situation, had long felt something that he had ignored before.
That was the faint connection between him and Mashu.
This connection was like an invisible channel connecting himself and Matthew, so that Rozen could easily send his magic into Matthew's body, and he could also order Matthew through the command spell on the back of his hand.
Rozen knew very well what this meant.
This meant …
"You signed a contract with me as a servant, right?"
Rozen made such a question word by word.
In this regard, Matthew nodded, shook her head, and made a correction.
"I did sign a contract with senpai, and I did get the power of a servant, but my state is not a formal servant."
At this point, Mashu's tone paused slightly, and then she said such a sentence.
"I have now become a Sub-Servant."
Hearing this sentence, Rozen's first reaction was not surprise, but a wry smile.
"Sure enough … is that the case …?"
Sub-Servant.
This was not a special servant, but something created by human hands.
Although the so-called servants had inhuman power and could provide amazing combat power, they were heroes, legends, and fantasies of the past. Each of them had extraordinary will and beliefs. It was a little unrealistic to want to be a servant and do whatever he wanted.
In other words, servants may betray the master, and more likely to violate the master's orders, disobey the master's commands, and even harm the master.
It was to prevent this situation from happening that the command spell came into being.
The command incantation was a kind of command authority that could be used three times. There were three strokes in total, and each stroke was an order. The original intention of its creation was to forcibly control the servants and make them obey the master's command.
Chaldea remade this command system to cooperate with the Heroic Spirit Summoning System, so that the master who contracted with the servant could also have the command spell.
However, Chaldea's command spell did not focus on the aspect of "domination," but on the aspect of "support," abandoning the coercive command power, which played a miraculous effect in strengthening, healing, and other aspects of the servant. To dominate the servant, at best, it had an effect similar to a "curse."
Of course, if all three command spells were used at once, it was not impossible to forcibly command the servant.
Anyway, with the magic provided by Chaldea, the masters could get a command incantation every day. In three days, they could restore the command incantation. When it's time to use it, they could still use it.
However, if the servant did not listen to the command and had to use the command incantation every time, it would also cause great trouble, which was not beneficial to the battle.
In addition, the servant itself was a spiritual body, and its existence itself needed to consume magical power. In order to make up for various shortcomings, Chaldea launched an experiment.
"The fusion of human and heroic spirit …"
That's right.
The fusion of human and heroic spirit.
This was one of the research that has been in progress for more than a decade, and it was Chaldea's sixth experiment.
"By fusing with the heroic spirit, the experimental body can not only get the power of the servant level, but because it is not a spiritual body, it does not need to consume magical power to exist. What's more valuable is that it will obey orders and can avoid all kinds of disadvantages. That is, a Lesser Servant."
Rozen looked at Matthew and said bitterly.
"This experiment is actually completed now?"
The experiment on the Lesser Servant had been carried out more than a decade ago, but it had not been successful so far.
Rozen did not expect that the experiment would be completed in this case.
Matthew said so.
"After all, I originally exist for this."
Matthew's words made Rozen clench his fist.
Now that things had come to this, there was no longer any need to say anything.
Matthew was one of the subjects of this experiment.
That was Matthew's past, the fate and life she had before she appeared in Chaldea's body.
It was not until two years ago that she was finally liberated because of the failure of the experiment. The girl who could openly appear in Chaldea's body became a non-human body.
"What the … hell …!"
Rozen couldn't help but curse.
After a while, Rozen's clenched fist was held by a pair of soft hands.
"Please don't be so angry, senpai."
Matthew gently wrapped Rozen's clenched fist with her own hands.
On her face, there was a quiet smile.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with this."
Matthew's straightforward words echoed around.
"At least, now I have the power to protect senpai. I feel very happy to be able to fight with senpai as senpai's servant."
This was definitely not a lie.
The girl named Matthew must be grateful for the current situation from the bottom of her heart.
"If it's me now, then I have the ability to fight."
Matthew smiled at Rozen.
However, this girl didn't know that her smile made Rozen feel distressed.
(What do you mean very happy?)
Rozen recalled the look in Matthew's eyes that he saw not long ago.
In addition to the usual trust, there was something else in those eyes.
That thing was called fear.
(On the one hand, she was happy because she got the power to fight with me, on the other hand, she was afraid of the battle itself …)
Rozen held Matthew's hand and made a decision in his heart.
(I will never let her face all this alone …)
