-833- A servant of the same origin

Thanks to Rozen's gift, the previously desolate basin underwent a complete transformation, becoming a paradise. The indigenous people, on the brink of death, were either healed or fed, filling the air with joyful sounds.

Common-style shikigami continued to prepare deer meat in various corners, and indigenous people formed lines to receive food. As they tasted the meat, they were immediately moved to tears.

It's easy to imagine how desperate the situation was for these humans before.

Now, these people's lives were saved, preventing this singularity from completely deviating from human history and causing chaos. It was truly a great thing.

Even the injured people, including those previously near death, were treated by the shikigami under Rozen's orders.

Observing this scene, anyone would feel that the earlier desolate basin was like an illusory dream, utterly unreal.

As for Rozen and the others, led by Karna, they entered a very remote tent.

In this tent, on a blanket, a person lay.

"Ugh..."

Slight groans of distress unintentionally escaped from the person's mouth.

It was a youth who appeared to be around the same age as Rozen, with a hint of childishness. He had long, silky, bright red hair and wore exceptionally noble attire. A menacing blade was at his waist, and his hands seemed to be transformed into large, fierce metallic elements, resembling both hands and weapons, giving an intimidating impression.

Unfortunately, at this moment, the youth had closed his eyes tightly, as if trapped in a nightmare, looking very distressed. His body also displayed a bloody and severely injured appearance.

"Who is he?"

Mash expressed some surprise.

"He's seriously injured, and several wounds are fatal. It's not easy for him to endure until now."

Scáthach assessed the situation after observing him.

On the other hand, Rozen, before expressing anything, saw the communicator on his wrist light up.

"We've got a Servant response!"

Roman's voice came out, revealing the identity of the youth.

Undoubtedly...

"He's a Servant."

Roman warned with a solemn tone.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Karna.

Facing everyone's eyes, Karna spoke without any hesitation.

"I found him a few days ago while I was out looking for food."

In one sentence, he clarified the entire situation.

In other words, Karna didn't know this Servant; he just happened to come across him, lying injured, during his search for food.

"No wonder he's the 'Hero of Charity.'"

Da Vinci's somewhat emotional voice sounded from the communicator, gaining unanimous agreement from the group.

Karna truly lived up to the title of the "Hero of Charity." He not only silently guarded the indigenous people, protecting the last embers of this era but also didn't abandon a suffering Servant, even if the person was unfamiliar and his origin unknown.

However...

"He carries a familiar aura. If I'm not mistaken, this young man should share the same origin as me," Karna added, leaving the others somewhat enlightened.

In other words...

"He is also a hero from Indian mythology?" Olga Marie's voice concluded the result from the communicator.

It was because of this connection that Karna brought him back.

Of course, even if they didn't share the same mythological system, Karna wouldn't abandon a suffering Servant without a valid reason. If they were enemies, it might be a different story; Karna would calmly accept the situation if there were justifiable reasons to forsake them.

This is what people call the "Hero of Charity."

"I believe he is a neutral Servant, summoned to this era just like me," Scáthach speculated.

"However, when it comes to neutral Servants, the Celtic warriors from the North unanimously choose to exclude and eliminate them. This young man probably suffered severe injuries either from the Northern Celtic Servants or, for some reason, got wounded by the Southern Greek Servants. Who knows?"

This wasn't an unusual occurrence. In the current state, the North American continent had already been divided between the two major pantheons, with the indigenous people disappearing from sight. One could say that the Celtic pantheon had achieved a great victory.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Greek pantheon Servants, this singularity would have collapsed due to the complete domination by the North.

As a result, as neutral Servants summoned by the Holy Grail to balance the opposing factions, they became targets for the Celtic Servants. At least, according to Scáthach, many neutral Servants have been killed on this North American continent, leaving only a handful, including herself.

Karna was one of them, and this young man faced a similar situation. However, he was currently in a precarious state, at risk of dying at any moment. This was the reason why Karna wanted Rozen's help.

"Although Servants possess extraordinary physical constitutions, and as long as their spirit core is intact, and their spiritual foundation is complete, they can recover from even severe injuries. But this kind of recovery requires magical energy," Karna explained, looking at Rozen.

"This young man seems to have gone through a fierce battle, depleting his magical energy earlier. Afterward, he fell into a deep slumber due to severe injuries, with no strength left to heal himself," Karna continued, expressing his desire for Rozen to intervene and treat the young man.

This makes everyone can't help but feel...

"Mr. Karna is truly a kind person," Mash involuntarily expressed her inner thoughts.

Isn't he?

To be able to do this for a stranger is really not easy.

Regarding this...

"This is just a misunderstanding on your part," Karna calmly said, "I saved him not out of kindness, but because I felt a connection with this young man, who, like me, once fell on the deserted land. It's a kind of fate."

"Once fell on deserted land?" Mash was suddenly stunned.

Not only Mash, but even the people in Chaldea were also surprised.

Rozen raised an eyebrow, seemingly having guessed something a long time ago.

And Scáthach, while observing Karna, spoke like this.

"So, you are a Servant from the faction which align with the natives that was destroyed before."

Scáthach revealed this secret.
