Chapter 77
Chapter 77
Sighişoara, the former residence of Vlad III, is a town with medieval architectural style as its selling point.
In the world of magicians, this town also belongs to Ugdomirenia in principle—that is, in the Fourteen Holy Grail War with Romania as the background and Tulipas as the main battlefield, the "Black" As a representative color, the Thousand Worlds Tree clan that attempts to break away from the Magic Association to stand on its own.
Of course, during the Holy Grail War, this tourist town, which is actually managed by the Thousand Realm Tree Clan "Tulifas" as a construction sample, will also be covered with eyes and ears for surveillance by Yogdo Mirenia, and encounters from other forces... …For example, the Magic Association and the Church of the Holy Church, which organized the "red" side to participate in the war, have infiltrated and monitored people both openly and secretly.
This also ensured that after Emiya and his party flew from London to Romania, and then came to Sighişoara disguised as passengers, the Second King could immediately obtain the latest information: such as "the red side Saber has already played against the black side Caster indirectly", and "The red Lancer tried to kill Ruler, but was intercepted by the black Saber", etc., two battle messages between the red and black camps.
Of course, it will soon be a three-way melee.
Because the Second King left with the main excuse of "more than half of the external magicians hired by the Magic Association have lost contact", and it was a report that was sent back after everyone else had arrived in Romania.In this way, I still consider that I have to continue to borrow the power of the Magic Association in the future, otherwise the second will dare to play and disappear.
──Have any questions?Okay, please wait for the missing persons to come back and then solve it!
Throwing aside the surveillance, Shi Jiejieli, a necromancer hired outside the Clock Tower, and the red Saber who responded to his call with the fragments of the round table as a holy relic—the rebellious knight Mordred, are walking side by side on the tin Gishwara is full of medieval style streets.
Although for Mordred who wants to see modern architecture and modern entertainment facilities, such a landscape is too boring.
Although for the pedestrians and tourists around who noticed this suspected father-daughter combination, a burly villain uncle with sunglasses and three obvious scars on the left side of his face, a cool girl with cute hot pants and a bright red coat walked in the street. One piece, it looks a bit eye-catching and weird.
However, the master and servant of the red Saber, who had received the instructions from Elmeloy II, still found the agreed restaurant and opened the door to enter without subjective or objective influence.
"White hair, white hair... oh, there is a Master! There!" Saber with a high ponytail turned her head left and right, and quickly glanced around the restaurant where there were not many people. In the new instructions, the target person who will meet with them on behalf of the Magic Association.
The original words at that time were: "A man with white hair and brown skin, who looks like a young man." There was an additional sentence after that: "He has a special partner. As long as you see someone, you will definitely not mistake him."
Originally, Lion Jie wondered why he was so sure?Now seeing with his own eyes the man who raised his eyes after hearing the sound, with a calm expression but exceptionally sharp eyes, he immediately understood.
When the other party looks over, his partner will also look over!
Although the representative of the association is full of aura, but compared to his ability to attract attention, it is obvious that his partner who can control the contrasting colors of blue hair and red eyes is even better.
In addition, the high-spirited spirituality that ordinary people can't discover, and at best, the sensitive ones find it particularly stressful to get along with each other is not concealed at all... If Shishi Jie still can't recognize that it is a Servant, maybe he should consider mobilizing himself. Surgery to replace the eyeballs.
The red Saber master and slave exchanged a look, and walked over while maintaining their superficial composure.
A few minutes later, on the four-seater table, there was an extra cup of sundae, a cup of coffee, and two cups of black tea.By the way, the next door to them is alone but also occupies four seats. Due to the back of the sofa, it can only be seen that it is a blond man. After they served the meal, they also ordered a sundae—even the taste was similar to Maud's. Same as Reid's.
"Don't watch Lao Tzu furtively."
It was uncomfortable to be stared at with scrutiny eyes all the time, and Cu Chulainn was not pretentious. He immediately decided to interrupt this kind of onlooker behavior with words, and said bluntly: "ServantRuler──I am the third arbiter. Hey, This unprecedented Holy Grail War is really a big problem, forcing me to find a Master only option."
"what?"
The sudden amount of information was a bit large, and Moredre raised his eyebrows, squinted his eyes and tilted his head, with a big "bewildered" on his face.
This expression can also fully represent the mood of its master Shishi Jiejieli at this time.The external magician of the clock tower, who couldn't react for a while, was still talking to himself: "Ruler is not Joan of Arc..."
Although he is an externally hired magician, there are also information channels in the Magic Association other than Elmeloy II. He knows that the red Lancer was ordered to attack and kill Ruler, and he also knows that Ruler claimed to be Joan of Arc, but What about the third one, Ruler?Will the number span be too large?
"It can't be wrong. Ruler has the class skill to see through his real name. I just need to see that Amakusa Shiro from a distance." It was still Cu Chulainn who said.
Emiya savored the black tea calmly.
The class skill "Real Name Discernment" has also been added to Cu Chulainn this time, but unfortunately, the inherent skills such as "Revelation" and "Saint" can't be helped. The fundamental reason why Cu Chulainn is a fake Ruler is it's here.
What's even more regrettable is that Mordred has the ability to hide information. He can't compete with others in lucky value with a lucky E. When he sees through his real name, he is equivalent to Xiao Mo who has not taken off his helmet and is directly disarming his concept. He can read everything. No, no way to try something new.
Of course, I have never seen such a thing as Amakusa Shiro.
Their source of information was the comprehensive record. Shizijie and Mordred had actually met the priest who was the overseer and joined the Red Square on behalf of the Church of the Holy Church.
Cu Chulainn played Emiya's tricks, bluffing people with off-the-shelf intelligence sources.
"Not Kotomine Shiro?"
"Amakusa Shiro Tokisada. In the Third Holy Grail War, Einzbern represented the Ruler summoned illegally." Putting down the teacup, Emiya added with a serious expression of "We did our homework."
The guardian's serious and unflawed resolute face looks particularly convincing as long as his brows are slightly frowned.
Lion Jie Jieli didn't speak.
He picked up the coffee cup, and regardless of the high temperature of the coffee, he stubbornly took a big sip to let the bitterness fill his taste buds, and help his mind to be more clear by the way.
"The priest named Kotomine Shiro, the real identity is the previous Ruler... Shouju? Then the privilege of Ruler..." Speaking of worry, Shishi Jiekai is now only worried about Ruler's class skill "God's Judgment". In other words, it is a Command Spell that can exercise command authority over all Servants.
That priest, the first meeting gave him a bad feeling; Mordred even rejected the other Servant, saying that the red Assassin whose real name was Semiramis had a smell similar to her mother's queen.
"You can rest assured about this. Amakusa Shiro was the last Ruler, and this time, he won't have extra Command Seals."
"Ah, but you have it!"
Moredre, who straightened his ears and listened after the restart of the thinking module, seemed to strengthen his momentum, and his voice suddenly increased.
The red and blue heroic spirits did not deny this.
"Didn't you say that? I'm the third Ruler. The second Ruler has 28 Command Spells, and it becomes forty... two? 42!"
... What are you surprised about?Is there a lot of them?Because of the number 42, the red Saber master and slave appeared on their faces, and the expression of surprise, which was close to shock, was suddenly overshadowed by curiosity.Who is the Magician and Ruler on the opposite side, who looks more surprised than them?Isn't that terrible number of Command Seals wrong?
So is it more, or less?
"Is it 42? Why do I remember it's 44?" Cu Chulainn didn't think he had hidden amnesia that he didn't know he had just counted on the plane.
"No. It is indeed 44. In addition to the seven new riders added by our side, there is an extra rider that is not in the information."
Emiya originally frowned slightly to match her expression, but this time it really turned into a pimple.On the plane, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this number. After all, there were so many servants participating in the battle this time, and he had expected that the number of Command Spells of Ruler would be an astonishing number... Was he still not sensitive enough to numbers in the end?
"Wait a minute! You said seven new riders... No, what's the matter with eight new riders?"
"Don't be nervous, Master. It doesn't matter if you have 21 knights, 22 or [-] knights, no one will stop the orthodox successor of the King of Knights from winning the Holy Grail!"
Mordred clenched his fist violently, as if he had already grasped the Holy Grail in his palm.She still wants to challenge the chosen sword!
Unexpectedly, what greeted her with an imposing declaration was the strange reaction of the opposite master and slave with subtle expressions and four eyes that seemed to want to observe the rear.
The man who occupied the four-seater behind them coughed softly, stood up, and walked around the decorative stained glass above the back of the sofa chair to their table.
The man has blond hair and green eyes, exactly the same as Mordred.
Lion Jie even felt familiar looking back and forth twice, that mouth shape, almost couldn't help but want to "Oh"; don't mention him, Mordred was very ambitious and said to challenge The chosen sword, who claims to be the "orthodox successor of the King of Knights", is also widening his eyes at this moment, as if he is witnessing an incredible miracle──
"Arthur Pendragon. I am..." His eyes flicked to Emiya and Cu Chulainn.
"gold."
"Well, only gold. The color of the sun, the color of gold."
"──I'm Golden Saber." Arthur continued without any hindrance, "It's another father in your parallel world. Can you go over and have a chat?"
He reached out to the seat next to him.
Lion Jie Jieli stood up consciously, and Mordred stared sideways at this man who was indeed eight or nine points similar to the father and king in his memory, and the only difference was in gender, his expression changed between hatred and anger...More Rumu, whom he hadn't noticed for a while.Then, she stood up with her coat in her hand, and followed without saying a word.
Seeing this, after sitting down again, Lion Jie Gui asked in a low voice: "...that is the main purpose?"
"Ah. They just have to talk now." Emiya admitted.This was the main condition for Arthur to agree to join the team!
Lion Jie rationally didn't ask what did the Clock Tower do?To be able to temporarily join a team of seven knights and bring Ruler in the Holy Grail War that has already started.
It's easy to talk to smart people.Shishi Jie didn't ask much, and Emiya was happy to skip it, and directly picked what the Second King said that he could explain: "The other thing is to tell you some important information. For example, you are already the representatives of the Magic Association in the early stage, and the only thing left is normal contact. A group that."
"Oh. The others were taken down?"
"Even if the Command Seal hasn't changed hands yet, they're probably already captives. The red Assassin has the oldest legend of poisoning. It shouldn't be difficult for her to figure out a cockroach that controls people."
Lion Jie agrees with this point of view.However, now he wants to find out more about Jin Fang's attitude towards this Holy Grail War?So taking advantage of the friendly atmosphere, he asked bluntly.
The answer was Cu Chulainn.The blue heroic spirit said very bluntly: "It's about the position! It's very simple. We don't pursue wishes, but whoever wants to make a wish, that wish must be approved by our Qiqi. Selflessness like Amakusa Shiro is selflessness , but if it’s not practical at all!”
"You know his wish?"
"That man wants to save all mankind. Hmph, it is indeed in line with his wish of being a young saint. It sounds very nice." The red heroic spirit... It can be said that he has been working hard for similar ideals before and after his life, and never thought of turning back even when he was at the end. The guardian smiled, with a cold smile.
"He believes that using the third method to materialize the soul and allow all human beings to enjoy immortality in disguise is a relief. But in a world that will not progress, what will be left in the end except walking dead? Anyway, lying down and sleeping all day can survive, A society that is gradually becoming sick will only slowly lose competitiveness and enthusiasm until it becomes a deserted ghost town! It is ironic, but human beings are creatures that need to compete with each other and stimulate each other in order to pursue progress. Don't trust humans!"
That's all for this.
The Guardian lowered his lids over his piercing steel-gray eyes.
"So if you want the Holy Grail, do your best to grab it! At least as far as I can tell, it's more realistic for Red Saber's wish to have flesh and blood."
Having said that, Cu Chulainn couldn't help being a little curious, so he turned sideways and looked back through the stained glass.Fortunately, there didn't seem to be any signs of pinching over there, but Mordred's expression was not very natural. In one sentence, he looked like a brat kid arguing; but Arthur was very proficient in the enchantment of the Wind King!Block out the sound.
The Red and Blue Heroic Spirits decided to leave without waiting for the father-daughter meeting to end.Of course, as the Master of the red Saber, the Lion Tribulation Realm is definitely not far away.
It happened that he also needed time to sort out the new information, so Shi Shiran sat down and ordered another cup of hot coffee.
"Are you paying the bill?"
"Anyway, it's the King of Heroes' money." Emiya settled the bill on her behalf.leave.
