Four hundred and ninetieth chapters under the moonlight
Chapter 495 Under the Moonlight
Standing in front of us is a woman covered in a cloak. Even most of her face is covered by a gorgeous hood. Well, this scene reminds me of the original Viska. I don’t know that girl.
Do you still have a hobby of collecting cloaks?
From the moment he appeared until now, the other party hasn't said a word, he just confronts us with silence.
To be honest, at first I thought we needed to go through a battle first. After all, the heroic spirits in my impression should be the kind of characters who speak with their fists first. The other party was able to obediently come to meet us according to Lin Xue's request.
The Pandora sisters, who had already begun to hold back their energy and prepared to kill everyone, were quite disappointed.
"Are you the magician who summoned Sasaki?"
Tohsaka looked at the woman in front of her with a very surprised expression. The strange situation made her confused, "But..."
"Yes, she is a Heroic Spirit, and her class is caster. Because she is also a 'Magician', she took advantage of the Holy Grail system and can summon Heroic Spirit Servants by herself. Sasaki was summoned using this foul method.
," I tilted my head and explained to Tohsaka, "But because it was the product of a foul, Sasaki can only be restrained in front of the mountain gate of Ryudou Temple. Of course, due to Sakura's transformation, this restriction is gone now."
"Wow, is this okay?" Tohsaka immediately protested, feeling very unfair.
Hearing her secret being revealed so easily, the woman with her whole body covered under the cloak finally reacted. The lips hidden in the shadow moved slightly, but the voice was sent to each of us:
"I didn't expect that someone could go deep into this red moon world. I originally thought that it would be safe to stay here."
A conservative course of action?
This is really in line with Caster's character. As a magician who is not good at frontal attacks, perhaps due to her personality, it is normal for her to choose this conservative strategy in the Holy Grail War. And according to my understanding,
Rather than fighting head-on, the woman in front of her is better at setting up positions in advance and using the advantages of the positions to achieve final victory. Therefore, from the beginning of the Holy Grail War to the present, it is understandable that she has been hiding in the inner world without appearing.
Seeing Sasaki standing among us, Caster was of course very concerned, and more importantly, he was still deeply puzzled. According to common sense analysis, the contract between the heroic spirit and the summoner is bound by the power of the Holy Grail, unless the summoner dies.
This connection cannot be eliminated by conventional means. Of course, a certain treasure in her hand has the function of eliminating all mysterious effects. Using that thing can also break the contract between the heroic spirit and the summoner, but it is obvious that Sasaki now
This is not the case.
There was no sign of the contract being broken, or in other words, the half of the contract in her own hands was still intact, but the heroic spirit in front of her had completely transformed into another existence. Although she could feel the other party's magic power, the magic power was mixed with it.
Another thing made the contract power he controlled completely lose its effect.
To use a more curious metaphor, you bought a large Sony color TV and sent it to Lao Wang downstairs for repair one day. When you came back, you found that your remote control did not work, so you could only open the casing of the color TV and
I was devastated when I saw the words "asking for fart" in front of me, and I was shocked to death by a fake movement.
Well, this metaphor is really classic.
Sasaki, who has transformed into a nether energy, is no longer a product of the fate system. He has nothing to do with the two major inhibitory powers. It is like the TV whose movement has been replaced. Although the appearance is the same and the contractual relationship still exists,
Sasaki's essence is already a certain leaf of the Dingdong World Tree. Unless Caster can understand the system of another world, she will never be able to use the Command Seal to order Sasaki to do anything.
"I'm sorry for taking away your heroic spirit." I noticed that the cloaked woman's eyes were focused on Sasaki, and I naturally knew what she was thinking. "But it's more important to do business now. We want to find out some information from you, and you have the right to ask
Protest, but we'll pretend we didn't hear you."
The good boy next to him, Emiya, was once again stimulated by this unrestricted speech, and raised his hand to his forehead: "Is it really okay to say such a thing so naturally?"
Caster was also stunned for a moment, and then looked thoughtfully at the large group of intruders in front of him. There were four heroic spirits that could be identified through magic, a super eye-catching giant, a tall man in red clothes and white hair, and a purple
The silent woman with hair reaching the floor, and the dull-haired girl wearing silver skirt and armor with a serious expression. This combat power alone is an overwhelming advantage. God knows how they stand together in such a harmonious manner, and the plan is
In addition to this visible and imaginable combat power, and the two girls with obvious magic fluctuations on their bodies, there are a lot of other talents who cannot see the depth at all. They should be more vigilant. Caster with an IQ of 200 can
Not that brainless Shenji, she would never have thought that a helpless ordinary person would appear in this place.
Through the shadow under the hood, I could feel the other party's scrutinizing gaze, and I could naturally guess what kind of trade-offs she was making. Sure enough, after a moment, the other party broke the silence.
"There is no comparison in terms of strength. It seems that I have no chance to resist."
As smart as she is, she would not stubbornly choose to resist to the end in this situation.
"But before I cooperate with you, I hope you can clear up my confusion first." Caster suddenly raised his head, revealing his beautiful face that can be described as stunning, "Who are you? I think you are the same as those who participated in the Holy Grail War.
Magicians are very different."
Hey! I like this question!
We almost rushed to answer on the spot: "Do photography enthusiasts know? Do you know Centaur? Do you know that traffic accidents occur frequently due to the rampage of wild Ultraman in the universe? We are from..."
"Ahem!" Tohsaka decisively interrupted us by casting a spell before we came up with the theory of the invincible photography enthusiast. "This is not important. They are just my foreign aid. I am a participant in the Holy Grail War. This does not matter.
Question?"
Caster was stunned when we all suddenly started to rush to answer questions. At this time, he nodded sluggishly, only to find that no one had answered his question after working on it for a long time.
And she will soon discover even more sadly that she has a problem communicating with these inexplicable guys.
"This desolate place is a good place to hide." I looked around. On the distant horizon, a large amount of earth and rocks were slowly rising due to the movement of the red moon. "How did you find a way in?"
"What if I say I don't know?"
Caster replied, while carefully observing our reactions. It was obvious that although she acted very calmly, she was still very nervous when facing such a combination of intruders that could crush her a dozen times, but it was very obvious that she
I have no intention of telling the truth.
Of course we will not be satisfied with such an answer. Sandora snorted coldly, and then cast her sight in a certain direction in the distance.
"There's a human there."
Just this sentence made Caster's face change drastically.
In such a desolate place, it is simply too easy for Sandora to find the fluctuation of human thoughts. She does not even need a life radar scan. She can use her instinct to point out the location of the man who was properly placed by Caster.
"We have no intention of embarrassing you, nor do we have any intention of harming you or your master," Sandora looked at Caster coldly, and the invisible mental shock caused blood to ooze from the corner of the latter's mouth, "But that is based on your cooperation.
Your courage to appear in front of us alone is commendable, so I will graciously allow you to deceive the first time, but the second time, the punishment will not only fall on you."
Tohsaka and others looked at Sandora with surprised eyes, as if they were meeting this blond girl in front of them for the first time who suddenly exuded a noble and cold temperament. I smiled bitterly and shrugged at them: "This is what Sandora really looks like.
.”
"It's Kotomine Kirei!"
I don't know whether it was the pain of burning soul or Sandora's threat that played a role. Caster did not hesitate to tell his secret this time.
"That human gave me something so that Soichiro and I can enter this space."
Breathing violently, Caster finally recovered from the pain of burning her soul. She looked at the noble girl in front of her with frightened eyes. Just one look from her could almost kill her as a heroic spirit. In this way
The weird and terrifying strength shocked her.
"False priest?" Tohsaka immediately whispered in surprise. She was not expecting the name of Kotomine Kirei to appear here, while Emiya let out another exclamation: "Souichiro? Could it be?
Kuzuki-sensei?"
"That's right, Soichiro Kuzuki," I patted Emiya on the shoulder, "Young man, learn to face all the incredible things. Your girls can now transform into floating colossus soldiers, so don't worry about the details.
Something like that..."
Emiya's face was full of confusion and he nodded speechlessly.
Only now do we know that Kotomine Kirei actually knew about the existence of this other world from the beginning. What he handed to Caster was a black crystal dagger. That thing seemed ordinary to me, but it had the same effect as the sky.
The energy fluctuations that the red moon faintly caters to are like a simple formula that can unlock the entire code. People with crystal daggers can use this to enter the other world. After Sandora's warning, Caster finally cooperated a lot
, and it seems that she has no good impression of Father Kotomine. If she hadn't wanted to expose the secret of herself and Soichiro Kuzuzuki entering this world, she might have just taken the initiative to hand over the black crystal dagger to us.
"I don't like being used as a pawn," Caster said frankly why he didn't like Kotomine. "I can see that he has a purpose in 'helping' me and Soichiro."
However, Caster failed to give us a clear answer as to why Sasaki is stronger than ordinary heroic spirits and why his weapons have mutated. Even she herself does not know how all this happened. The only clue that can be used is,
It was during the summoning ceremony that she was in the other world. In other words, the secret of Sasaki becoming stronger and the only explanation for the psionic energy contained in his weapons were related to the other world.
"If there is anything worth mentioning," Caster saw our dissatisfied looks, fearing that the authoritarian and strict blond girl would do something drastic if she was unhappy again, he quickly added, "The summons ended at that time.
In an instant, the red moon in the sky suddenly turned blue."
Wow, it turns out that the moon not only keeps changing its gravity, but also its color?
Is it still the fucking moon?!
Unfortunately, although Caster was in the inner world during the summoning process, the Holy Grail system restricted Sasaki to be "born" in the outer world. The latter had never seen the scene here, and naturally could not help his former master.
Testified.
The blue moon, this is definitely a crucial clue. Various things that happened in the past tell us one thing. When a world discovers the relics left by the Xiling apostles, whether it is incombustible garbage or one or two sad and angry people,
The Absolute Avenger means that huge trouble is coming, so as long as it can explain the source of the psionic energy in Sasaki's weapon, we must not let it go.
"Xue girl, can you see the blue moon?"
I established the spiritual connection with Lin Xue, whose eyes were observing the past and the future at the same time. If the blue moon had appeared before and might appear in the future, it should not escape her observation.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see it at all." Lin Xue's answer surprised me, but her subsequent explanation made it clear to me, "Do you think it is so easy to bypass the world structure and observe a space that exists in a concept?
Something? And even if I’m a prophet, there’s something I can’t see with my power, right?”
Sorry, I forgot about this.
From Caster, we finally learned about another character hidden in the shadows, Kotomine Kirei. Although we thought he was a deeply hidden guy at the beginning, we didn’t expect that he could be related to this other world, and
, he allowed Caster to enter the other world and indirectly helped the latter increase the possibility of winning the Holy Grail War. What was his purpose?
Caster said frankly that the red moon here can gradually increase her power. Something similar to magic, but more effective than a catalyst is contained in the red moonlight, which is of great benefit to a magician like her. Saber
After concentrating, I felt this obscure power, but Tohsaka didn't feel anything. This shows that this magic power is only effective for heroic spirits. Since Kotomine Kirei can have a "key" that can open the door to the other world, then
There is no reason for him not to know the secret of Red Moonlight.
The more clues, the bigger the mystery, and that's how I feel right now.
But at least now we know who to turn to to solve this mystery.
"It seems that's all you know," I shook my head. I thought I could reveal the secrets of the other world from Caster, but I didn't expect that the other party was just a pawn. "Excuse me, it's getting late.
Let's go back first. You and Kuzumu don't be too tired and go to bed early..."
There was a rumble and a sound of collapse.
"Hey! Uncle alien monster!!!" Tohsaka was so angry this time that he even refused to obey the more polite "uncle", "Is this the end of you?"
The person who is even more petrified is Caster. She was prepared to die generously today, but the man in front of her who led a group of heroic spirits and thugs to destroy the place turned out to just ask a few incomprehensible questions like a census, and...
gone?
"Are you kidding?" Tohsaka and Caster asked at the same time.
My expression straightened: "I am a serious person who never jokes!"
"But..." Tohsaka still wants to say something. Even though things have developed into a very bizarre branch plot, the girl's dream of the Holy Grail still stubbornly remains, "At least, she is a hostile heroic spirit... Okay,
I give up, I admit defeat, how this Holy Grail War develops has nothing to do with me!"
This time it was my turn to be surprised. I originally thought Tohsaka's stubbornness on this issue would persist until the end of the world, but I didn't expect it to fall apart so quickly?
Well, not too fast. After all, the Holy Grail War, which was harmonious and friendly at the beginning, has really changed beyond recognition.
"Wait, you just left like this?"
Seeing that we really turned around and were about to leave, Caster suppressed the dumbfounding feeling in his heart and hurriedly asked again. I shrugged her shoulders: "Nonsense, I didn't sleep well last night. Why don't you let me go to bed early today?"
"
As soon as I finished speaking, Shandora next to me blushed and secretly poked me in the waist - thanks to her strengthened body, Shandora's fingers made an air-explosion sound when she poked them. How shy is this girl?
Not heavy?
"I mean," Caster took a deep breath, "Aren't we enemies?"
"Oh, you mean, we should kill you now?"
The cloaked woman in front of him was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"In other words, you came out on your own initiative in the hope that after we kill you, we can let Soichiro Kuzuki go, who is no longer a threat?"
I asked quietly. The answer to this question sounds cruel, but it is true. Facing four heroic spirits, one Sasaki who betrayed me, and a large number of thugs of unknown strength, there is no guarantee that Caster is not fighting like this.
Ideas come to us.
After a few seconds of silence, the woman hidden in the cloak nodded slightly: "Although I don't know why you know so much, if you kill me and you let Soichiro go, then do it. Of course, even though the strength gap is like this
It’s huge, and I won’t sit still and wait for death.”
I stared blankly at the woman in front of me who used her life as a bargaining chip for her "master". For a long time, I suddenly laughed: "Tohsaka, you can lead everyone back first. I have some things to talk to her about."
