Chapter 850: DestinyReturn to the Star Ocean (Part )
At this moment, Qiong and Artoria looked at each other, and Artoria said, "I am very happy to respond to your call and travel to this wonderful world."
Qiong: "I'm not good at saying goodbye... Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
"In your dream, I saw your fear... But, Master, please do not pay attention to the emotions that you should have as a human being: the fear of the unknown, the fear of loss, and the regret that you can't do something.
Before becoming a hero, Hercules was really just a child. Even if you are not strong enough now, I believe that one day, you will become a star that illuminates the Milky Way.
"Like you do? And who is Hercules?"
Altria smiled lightly and did not answer, but said: "Master, give my regards to your future self."
The light faded away, and the heroic young knight disappeared, just as she had arrived.
At this moment, at Liumeng Reef, the organizers of the Holy Grail War were enjoying the scenery with great interest...
Old Otto sat in a chair, gazing at the starry sky. "The Holy Grail... is broken, what a pity. People chased it, fought for it, lived and died for it, just like... our Pinocchio."
They poured their dreams into it, making Pinocchio what it is today. So, did Pinocchio respond to their wishes?
Look at this memory black hole. Ten Amber Ages have passed, and of the people who once sat here and built Pinocchio from scratch, only a despicable old man is left.
His friends and his enemies are all gone."
Star Railroad's Poteo: "That old cutie is just being so sentimental. Wasn't this all his fault?"
Honkai Impact 3rd Otto: "Could it be that now that I'm all alone, I'm beginning to miss the past?"
Old Odi of Star Dome Railway: "Hahahahahahaha, an old man like me sometimes misses the old days."
Fate Altria: "To be honest, it's hard to believe what you said."
Old Odi: "I must confess to you two, my wish has come true. No matter how you view me, no matter how much we once hated each other, the Holy Grail has recognized your merits and allowed you to appear as Heroic Spirits...
Don't you think this is a unique reunion of old friends? It's a pity that old Mikhail couldn't be there."
Grady looked at the old man in front of him and said, "Mr. Odi, I am really touched by your wish. If I didn't know you, I would be fooled by your nonsense. Reuniting with old friends? It's just a little extra for your business."
Old Odi: "Greedy... uh, no, maybe I should call you Mr. Rick at this moment? Is the editing of the work finished? ... Such an important job still depends on you."
At this point, Grady had already left, and Mr. Rick took the lead again: "I edited out the content involving the contestants' privacy and retained the most exciting part of this Holy Grail War.
Maybe it’s not an excellent work in terms of art… but commercially, it won’t disappoint you.”
"That's enough. You artists, always thinking of leaving your names on the monuments of your exciting art at all costs... Hohohoho, what a pity, those who get what they want are as rare as the victors of the Holy Grail War, right?
I am different. Apart from monetary rewards, what better way in the world to measure the efforts you put into something?"
"The memories of the heroic spirits of the past are also a reward that satisfies me."
"Oh? The memories of a crappy film director like Grady? Tell me, what's the value of that?"
"When it comes to a filmmaker's memory... its value is indeed as cheap as dust. But when it comes to human memory, it is truly... an incomparable treasure.
Struggling, frustrated, fighting... and finally becoming an unknown passerby, this predecessor is a microcosm of the Pinocchio era, a hilarious clown, and a true hero.
How could I miss such a memory that is as faceted as a gem? However, I am more curious about you. You spent a lot of money and yet you put on such a farce. Aren't you afraid of ending up in disgrace like Grady?
"If a businessman still cares about respectability when he reaches my age, he is a complete failure."
"Then the business is settled. Allow me to take my leave."
After saying that, Rick turned and left.
Genshin Linni: "Hearing that crazy tone, it's indeed Mr. Rick."
Star Dome Railway Gold Dust: "Mr. Grady has left too, but before he left, he didn't forget to mock old Mr. Odi. Just how bad is old Mr. Odi in the eyes of these heroic spirits?"
Fate Red A: "Needless to say? Just look at the performance of the two Heroic Spirits. There is undisguised disgust in the eyes of Grady and Asuna."
Fate Medea: "What do you think? If all the heroic spirits from Mikhail's era were summoned during this Holy Grail War, would they work together to beat up this old man?"
Star Dome Railway Misha: "That's a very interesting question."
After Rick left, Old Odi turned to Asna, who was standing on the other side, and asked, "By the way, it's your turn, Ms. Asna. I will sign a statement relinquishing the trademark registered under your name, as well as all ownership of your creative works... Are you satisfied with this?"
Asna said coldly, "I can't say I'm satisfied, but if you dare say no, I will use all my strength to strangle your invisible neck before I disappear, and watch you die... Although I know that doing so will not kill you at all.
Goodbye, Pinocchio's most successful businessman. I have something I've always wanted to say to you: go die soon!
After saying this, Asuna also disappeared.
Old Odi laughed heartily and said, "Wow! What a touching confession! Asuna, I hope your wish will come true one day."
Zero Zone Lekaan: "This old man, for some reason, suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart."
Ming Chao Zani: "Indeed, it was clearly a curse expressing disgust towards him, yet this old man called it a confession of love. Pretty shameless."
Cosmic Wanderer Gao Xuan said: "He's a successful businessman who's lived through ten Amber Ages. He's used countless cunning and deceitful tactics. How could he possibly care about his reputation?"
Starry Sky Railway Pam: "But the conductor still doesn't like this guy. If I hadn't participated in the Holy Grail War this time, I would have driven the train to kill him!"
Star Railroad March 7: "That's right, but speaking of which, although Pam didn't participate in the Holy Grail War, she did summon a Heroic Spirit. Who could it be?"
