Chapter 53
Chapter 53
The Linglong Mansion is a Western-style mansion, with a front yard and a backyard forest, covering an extremely wide area.From the iron gate on the side of the main street, it takes at least 5 minutes to walk to the main house... In other words, the front yard of Linglong House is very suitable for PK field during the Holy Grail War.
Lancer is now sitting on the front steps of the main house.He had a lit cigarette in his mouth, but he was not wearing a casual suit, but his own conceptual armament—a full-body light armor with fur, rather than the tights that Celtic spearmen and heroic spirits often used.
The weapon wrapped around his arm and leaning on his shoulder is no longer a pile of modern handicrafts ordered by Linglong's house, but his own treasure, the crimson magic gun Gae Bolg made of sea animal bones.
He should be happy to get back his beloved treasure.However, Lancer's mood was not much better, not only was it not good, it even added a little bit of seriousness.
The curse that his Master, Linglong Guan Meisha Ye had been carrying since childhood began to strike!
Although it can still be suppressed with the help of the magic formulas arranged in the magic workshop, people are still imprisoned in the house and cannot go anywhere.
Such a strong girl who sealed his Noble Phantasm by saying, "Using a trump card in the first place lacks elegance", changed her original intention and returned the gun to him... Well, by the way, she also mocked him for not using her own Noble Phantasm It's useless, plus sweeping him out of the house to look at the gate.
"...I really became a guard dog..."
He let out a puff of smoke irritably.For the first time in the world so far, I am tired of ranks.
Lancer is not like Cu Chulainn in the real world, he can play Ruler as Caster! Lancer is Lancer, and the scope of his rune magic is limited by his class, so he can't make too complicated changes at all.As a result, he couldn't do anything except grab the Holy Grail as quickly as possible and meet the conditions for breaking the curse!
But the so-called "taking the Holy Grail to lift the curse", both Lancer and Meisha knew it well, it was nothing more than self-deception.
This is indeed the way to go during the incubation period of the curse.Although the time is tight, it is not necessarily impossible to fight against the clock!But that kind of efficiency is already approaching the limit, if the time is compressed again...there is probably only a chance for them to succeed in their imagination—there is never enough time in reality!
"Tsk, come again."
Is now the time for all of Tokyo to know it's time to throw stones at someone?Caster and Berserker, who looked abnormal and polluted by something just now, who is it this time?
...a total of six people, four of whom have powerful magical powers.How worthy of him!If you don't come, if you come, it's all about gang fights!
But what kind of "Kulan's Bulldog" is it? Lancer stood up and pinched out the cigarette butt, holding the gun in his hand, his red eyes, which were brighter than the gun, stared at the art gate in the front yard.
Sure enough, after a while, a figure appeared on the other side of the Longkong gate.The two Masters and four Servants—the Rider who had been fleshed out intentionally revealed his identity—were exactly the same as what he had sensed.
And they are acquaintances!The silver one, and the gold one!There are others... There was a sudden change in his expression, and Lancer's eyes that had already glanced over were pulled back!Face to face again with those vertical pupils that are very similar to him, full of ferocity.
The instinct of splitting spirits made Lancer believe that the blue-haired heroic spirit grinning at him was the real body of "Cú Chulainn", even though there were actually two heroic spirits under the name "Cú Chulainn". Sagittarius, that's not his real body.
"He noticed."
"what."
This time the face-to-face meeting is inevitable, and Emiya and Cu Chulainn have long been mentally prepared.There was no such record to refer to before, and now they can see this sensitivity for themselves.
"What do you notice?"
"The main body." Standing at the gate of someone else's mansion, Cu Chulainn pointed at himself, which immediately surprised Saber's master and slave.Seeing this, he couldn't help asking: "Didn't you mention it that night?"
The answer is obviously NO.Sajo Ayaka's head was almost shaking like a wavy drum.
"That night, it was mainly about the reason for the invitation to form an alliance. No such details were mentioned." Arthur added, all the while glancing at Emiya.
Only the world can serve the heroic spirit itself.This is not limited knowledge that only magicians know.Now a magician has done it contrary to common sense. Even if this person is not the incarnation of the world, he at least represents the will of the world, right?
"I am not the world."
Looking back lightly, Emiya only denied this, but didn't intend to elaborate more.After all, now is not the right time to talk about all kinds of trivial matters.
"But we can find another time to speak more clearly." Cu Chulainn followed Emiya's words, adding that the former had no intention of saying anything.
Cu Chulainn had noticed Emiya's problem many times.This venomous tongue and chattering talk more than anyone else, but every time it comes to an important moment, important things are stuffed in his heart and he doesn't say a word!
He also said that he didn't want to cause trouble to others!Do you know that just being bored like this and not saying anything makes people feel headaches and troubles?So occasionally Cu Chulainn would feel that he was quite sick, and he was fascinated by this kind of self-inflicted trouble, thinking that this was also a manifestation of the charm of his lover.
He squinted his eyes and scanned Emiya from top to bottom, especially focusing on the latter's thick and plump pectoralis major. The elastic touch will be like being branded once enjoyed, which is unforgettable.Thinking about it this way, asking for trouble is actually nothing!Facing difficulties with your heart is the truth!
Cu Chulainn retracted his gaze calmly, and by the way, observed the color of Emiya's ears at the last second before pulling away, and then expanded his smile in satisfaction.
"I noticed it earlier." He muttered.
"..." The communication partner ignored him.
On the opposite side of the art gate, two large magic dogs trained by Linglong's house as familiars heard Lancer's whistle, ran up to fiddle with the lock and opened the gate.
The crowd rushed in.
The moment they stepped into the courtyard of the Linglong Pavilion, they understood Lancer's choice to open the door to welcome guests: the courtyard has an enchantment, most of which are aimed at ordinary people.
That is to say, even if there is only an iron gate, the supernatural events in the courtyard will not be noticed by ordinary people outside the gate of Likong Art.
Even if the sky has not yet darkened, in such an environment, it is still possible to fight without getting to the point of demolition!
Lancer was standing in front of the steps of the main house at this time, pointing the tip of the magic gun obliquely at the ground, while maintaining a posture that seemed to be loose, but in fact could explode into trouble anytime his muscles tensed.
He didn't speak, obviously waiting for any one of the uninvited guests to speak, so as to preliminarily determine the purpose of the group on the opposite side.
"We're not welcome in? Maybe one of us can solve your Master's problem." Emiya took on the job without hesitation──
"You can think about it slowly. We have plenty of time. This is not a kind charity. Our condition is that no matter what method is used, as long as the problem with Linglong Guan Meisha is solved, you must join our action."
Lancer thought about all kinds of possible beginnings, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so straightforward, directly stating that they were a conditional invitation to form an alliance. The conditions were not biased and stepped on his weakness, making him unable to refuse even if he wanted to be strong!
Of course, Lancer didn't have the conditions to guess if he wanted to. The reason why Emiya stepped on it accurately was because there was another Lancer in Chaldea in another world line, who could remember all the Holy Grail Wars he had experienced.It's the bottom of this guy who was originally from the same root and wants to fry each other!
He is more inclined to pin the blame on "the body that is not his own body".
In any case, everyone is Cu Chulainn. Even if there are incompatible key differences due to different choices in life, Lancer still has reason to believe that such a guess is the closest to the truth.
"Two Masters...magician, who is your Servant?" Lancer didn't rush to make a statement, but instead asked seemingly irrelevant questions.
"Ruler."
──It doesn't matter who is the master-slave relationship, the important thing is which class is Cu Chulainn in the real world?So Emiya pointed to Cu Chulainn and revealed the answer directly.
Anyway, it's not a dark secret.
"Oh. It's unexpected." Lancer couldn't help laughing, twirling his wrist and fingers dexterously, the magic gun was erected immediately, with the tip pointing upwards.Holding the gun, he stepped up the steps in a few steps.
"I accept the conditions. If you are brave enough, you will follow me in." Said the much younger Celtic hero.
Lancer's resignation was also straightforward, which was already unexpectedly smooth, and Emiya naturally had no objection; Emiya had no objection, and Cu Chulainn also would not find fault with nothing, that was Gilgamesh's preference.
Luckily there's only Jill here.
Also the King of Heroes, this relatively young king is obviously not very interested in the door behind Lancer. Hearing that Lancer invited Ruler to be his master and servant, he immediately sent the same invitation to the King of Knights next to him: "What a good timing—whether you win or lose How about I promise to protect Ayaka? Let me tell you who is the strongest! Saber! Hahahaha!"
"I thought I promised an alliance."
"If there is an alliance, there can only be one of the strongest!"
The two golden retrievers confront each other, and Jill obviously won't be easily persuaded to compromise this time.In other words, those who know how to take into account the overall situation must give in; Arthur, who unfortunately has the Master by his side, is the one who must take into account the overall situation this time.
"I'll just stay and watch them duel." Perseus half-raised his hand, and assigned himself a job: "If I get too good at it, I'll call you."
Then the command spell ceased. Emiya understood.
"We're fine here..."
"──The Penetrating Crimson Spear (Gae Bolg)!"
The two people's voices came out almost at the same time, which made Ruler's master and slave, who looked back at the farce behind him and communicated with Rider, startled.It doesn't even take a minute to turn your head and talk, right?
Thinking about the same thing, Emiya and Cu Chulainn quickly turned their heads, just in time to see the scarlet magic spear that Lancer used as the opposite Noble Phantasm to blast open the gate of the mansion!
Yes, just the door, plus a slight crack in the wall around the door frame.
The two immediately realized that something was wrong!
When did GaeBolg become so weak?Even if it is used as an Anti-Personal Noble Phantasm, its lethality will not even knock down a wall.
"It's an alien barrier."
Cu Chulainn first noticed the edge of the wall that lost the gate, the friction phenomenon caused by the competition of different types of magic power, the small sparks, like miniature lightning.
"Something went wrong." Emiya nodded in agreement.
The Ruler team was about to follow up, when Lancer, who had broken into the house, shouted angrily: "──It's you again! Stop me, Caster! Go away, Berserker!"
The only response to him was a beast-like roar!In that inhuman roar, there was even overwhelming negative emotion, enough to drive the cowardly into madness!
There is no need to look specifically at it, just by feeling the malice and listening to the noise of various objects being smashed inside, you know that Lancer has already fought Berserker!
Who to reach out to help is out of the question.To put it bluntly, this enemy attack came at just the right time!It's like a specially arranged God teammate.
Looking from the door, Lancer's situation inside is not very good. It's not that he lost to Berserker or something. In fact, everyone can see that it's only a matter of time before Lancer kills Berserker—— Berserkers who exchange their sanity for power always have such All kinds of shortcomings like that.
But Caster was walking towards the house, and Lancer didn't have the capital to slow down with Berserker.
"I'll create an opportunity for you to intercept Caster."
Listening to the whisper of his lover and Master, Cu Chulainn nodded slightly, and he had already held another red magic spear in his hand.
He lowered his body, and with the reaction force of kicking the ground, the blue figure with conceptual weapons flew out.
"Traceon."
All kinds of swords and treasures, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, were projected and suspended in the sky behind Emiya, which immediately gave the young hero king a particularly strong sense of déjà vu.
"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
Intervention found, Berserker immediately demonstrate!The roar was ferocious, but ironically it also became a signal for Emiya's batch of projection treasures to show off their power.
Either through the main entrance, or directly through the window, dozens of projection treasures flew towards Berserker faster than Cu Chulainn!Half of the sharp blades that shone with metallic cold light blocked the way, and the other half plunged into Berserker's pitch-black torso that seemed to be wrapped in black mist without exception, splashing blood flowers under the feet of the black beast with a curved back.
The Son of Light, who is lean and strong, passed by the crazy beast like a whirlwind──
