Looking at the young man named Emiya Shirou in front of her, Mapo would naturally think of an old rival from back then. The scene of the battle of wits and courage between the two ten years ago seemed to still be vivid in her mind.

A war without complications is boring, and this Holy Grail War is becoming more and more interesting.

The young man still knew very little about the Holy Grail War, which made the priest's lips curl up, and there was a hint of pleasure in his tone:

"I see, it seems like he really lacks knowledge about the Holy Grail War...Okay, I will teach him. After all, this is the first time you have asked me to ask for your help, Rin~"

The last name was a bit affectionate, but when it came out of Mapo's mouth, it felt inexplicably pleasurable for some reason.

cold:"……"

The girl felt a little chilly, frowned, and looked at the stone pillar next to her.

Kotomine Kirei chuckled lightly when he saw this, and walked towards the two of them.

"Prince Guard..."

Zheng──!

There was a flash of cold light, followed by the sound of swords. Kotomine Kirei stopped moving forward in an instant, and a sword energy cut a gap in the ground pavement in front of his feet!

Father Mapo's pupils shrank slightly, his body tensed, and he suppressed the urge to use the command spell.

He turned his head and saw Archer on the seat next to him with his legs crossed and looking at him coldly.

"Zha Xiu, who allowed you to get close to my master?"

Ren said arrogantly and rudely, holding an invisible sword in one hand. Although he was sitting aside, Kotomine Kirei felt that the other person was looking down at him, an ant.

Mapo: "..."

The way Archer's nostrils turn upward is almost carved from the same mold as the Hero King Gilgamesh.

There was a slight chill on the neck, and feeling the extreme danger of being pointed directly at the blade of the invisible sword, Father Mapo twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly:

"Don't be wary, Archer. As the supervisor of the Holy Church and the guardian of your Master, how could I possibly harm her?"

To be honest, based on Lancer Cu Chulainn's previous report, he initially thought that Ren was Saber.

Until King Da Mao was summoned again...

So by elimination method, although it is ridiculous that an archer can be so strong in melee combat, Rin's servant can only be Archer.

This is why, after King Da Mao came out, Ren quickly confessed that he was not Saber, because he could no longer pretend, so Mapo could rule out that he was a swordsman.

He explained to Miss Rin that pretending to be a swordsman was just to confuse the enemy and hide more information in the early stages of the Holy Grail War...

Although Rin completely didn't understand the so-called strange tactic of "tricking the opponent into close combat, pretending to be outmatched, retreating, and then turning around and shooting him to death with an arrow when the opponent rushes to pursue him," he could only reluctantly accept it.

The most important thing is that Ren has proven his strong fighting ability. Miss Rin thinks that like her father Tosaka Tokiomi, she has drawn an SSR...

SSR is stable. If he is more willful, she can accept it.

Tokiomi:……

"Yeah?"

Ren glanced at Mapo lightly: "So, are you doubting my intuition as a warrior...or do you think your lies can hide from my eyes?"

As he spoke, Ren's pupils lost color, leaving only snow white, as if he had no pupils but only the whites of his eyes.

Facing these strange white eyes, a subtle feeling that even his thoughts could be seen through arose in Kirei Hiramine's heart.

Precognition, revelation, or intuition...are they the most troublesome heroic spirits?

Kotomine Kirei suddenly frowned. This strange and mysterious Archer was too strong and too difficult to deal with. He had defeated a demigod hero like Lancer in close combat, and his long-range attack methods were not even revealed.

For most people, this conversation would be enough to kill them.

But Mapo is Mapo after all, a tax evader all the time.

Even though Ren revealed some malicious intentions in front of Tohsaka Rin, he could still face the scrutinizing and vigilant eyes of Tohsaka Rin and Emiya Shirou with a normal expression.

Father Mapo’s face did not turn red, and his heart did not beat. The villain complained first:

"Rin, you'd better restrain your Servant in the church."

"I'm sorry, my Servant has a very bad character. As a king, he is the only one who has the most respect for himself. Do you want me to waste a Command Seal on such a trivial matter, Kirei?"

Tosaka Rin crossed his arms and looked at Kotomine Kirei coldly.

At this point, even without any evidence, she was basically certain that her father's death was definitely related to him.

Even the probing questions prepared in advance were not used.

The two looked at each other in silence for a few seconds.

Soon, Kotomine Kirei chuckled, raised his hands and took a few steps back:

"Okay, okay, Rin, let me lose to you... the seventh person over there, the Master is not something you can transfer.

The so-called Master is the test given by the Holy Grail. Once you have obtained it, you cannot give up this identity. This pain cannot be released until you truly win the Holy Grail."

"So, I have to participate in this ridiculous game of seven people fighting each other?" Young Hero Wei Gong frowned.

In fact, it wasn't just Ren, he also felt just now that this fake priest had some ill intentions toward them.

"Game? Your understanding is too superficial. Everything in the Holy Grail War is to select people who are worthy of the Holy Grail. The so-called fighting of seven people is just a ritual to accomplish this goal."

"Wait a minute! The Holy Grail isn't really the legendary Christian Holy Grail, is it?"

"Strictly speaking, it's not... but the Holy Grail that came to Fuyuki City is also genuine. Just looking at the incredible existence of Servant can prove it...

And for a Holy Grail that can reach this point, the authenticity of the object is meaningless, because the power it possesses can fully qualify as the Holy Grail..."

In the empty church, the voice of Kotomine Kirei's professional commentary echoed,

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Emiya Shirou argued with Mapo from time to time, and he was still trying to give up his identity as Master.

But unfortunately, after Kotomine Kirei raised the possibility that "evil people will realize their evil wishes if they get the Holy Grail", Emiya Shirou, who dreamed of becoming a "partner of justice", still made his original decision.

Participate in this Holy Grail War as a Master!

"Have fun, boy!"

Kotomine Kirei stood in front of the church door, looking at Young Hero Emiya who subconsciously stopped after hearing his words, and raised the corners of his mouth:

"Emiya Shirou, even if you don't want to admit it, for the partners of justice, evil that needs to be defeated is indispensable. Only when clear evil appears can your wish be truly realized..."

"..."

Emiya Shirou frowned, turned and walked towards Saber, who was standing silently on the street.

Ten years ago, the fire in the Fuyuki Civic Hall was related to the Holy Grail War... Naturally, he couldn't watch the tragedy happen again, even if there was only a slight possibility.

After a moment, Tohsaka Rin turned around slightly. The girl's eyelids were lowered and she glanced back at Kotomine Kirei standing in the dark church with a complicated expression.

This is a farewell look, which means that this man is dead in her heart.

Looking at the girl's graceful back walking away on the road, Kotomine Kirei couldn't help but feel regret and regret on his face.

Based on his understanding of pleasure, someone like Tohsaka Rin, who has perfect character and is quite close to him socially, should be the last to taste the delicacy.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the change, and Kotomine Kirei didn't expect Tohsaka Rin to be able to summon such a powerful heroic spirit.

"He is actually Archer. It's unbelievable... You can imagine how deep he is hidden. Even the golden Pika who has eyes higher than his head may not be stronger than him." - This is what Lancer Cu Chulainn is thinking about.

Comments on Archer a little while later.

Mapo knew that this mysterious "Arthur Pendragon" was definitely the best among the servants.

I just don't know why he is also the King of Knights.

Obviously, what Shirou Emiya summoned was King Arthur from last time...

'It's a bit tricky.'

Kotomine Kirei frowned. With a powerful and mysterious heroic spirit like Archer guarding Rin, it would be a bit difficult to attack her happily as planned.

However, if we can seize control of this male King Arthur, coupled with the existence of the Hero King Gilgamesh, we will definitely win the Holy Grail War this time!

As for how to deal with this male King Arthur, it is very simple. In the end, just use the command spell to make him commit suicide.

This was what Kotomine Kirei had been thinking before.

Unfortunately, this wonderful plan has just been completely ruined. Archer's perception is too sharp, and he is not even allowed to get close to Tohsaka Rin.

He knew that he had completely lost Rin's trust just now.

"There is no other way, Rin. If I have a chance, I can only get rid of you first. Some people also see you as a thorn in their side."

Father Mapo chuckled, turned around and walked into the church.

No matter what, with the power of him, Lancer Cu Chulainn, and the Hero King Gilgamesh, they are still the strongest combination in this Holy Grail War.

…

On the hill outside the church, everything was completely silent. The streets were deserted late at night, with only the cold wind blowing across the lonely road.

Emiya Shirou and Tohsaka Rin both lowered their heads and remained silent, each thinking about their own thoughts. After meeting Father Mapo this time, both masters gained something.

Even though I know it, it's not really good news.

"Archer, what you just perceived...is it true?"
To be continued...
