Chapter 16 The Alliance Under the City

My name is Lin Hao,

Kiritsugu seems to be planning to form an alliance with me?

257:55:36

Kotomine Kirei believes that everything in the world can be divided into two parts, one divided into two and one divided into eight.

For example, 80% of the world's wealth is in the hands of 20% of people, and of these people, 80% live in chaos, and only 20% are working hard for world development. Unfortunately,

, 80% of the directions of these efforts are wrong.

If you don't talk about big topics and just talk about yourself, Kotomine Kirei is not interested in 80% of the things in the world, but he doesn't know what the 20% is, so he has been pursuing it tirelessly.

, from this we can confirm one thing - he is interested in the act of finding things he is interested in.

Kirei is not a genius, but he has qualities that make others look like geniuses: He only needs to put in 20% of his efforts to achieve 80% of the results, but if he wants to get the remaining 100%

Twenty percent of the results require eighty percent of the effort.

Generally speaking, he gets as much reward as he pays. He can't be called a genius in any case, but after he achieves 80% of the achievements, he can always find that this thing is not what he wants, and then he will do it without hesitation.

Turn around and leave, and the impression you leave on others will naturally only be four times as rewarding.

Whether he skipped a grade because he studied beyond the scope of his studies, whether he mastered the talents related to becoming a team leader and was elected as the student council president, or even finally entered the Holy Church where his father belonged and tried every job because of his ability.

He still hasn't found anything similar to his interest. Before he was sent to be a student of Tokiomi Tohsaka, Kotomine Kirei was running around as a substitute. Fortunately, he was not interested in killing and torture.

As the agent of the original crusade against magicians, Kotomine Kirei was not very impressed by the "prey" who became his disciple. He only had some expectations for the magician's related skills, but in the end he was disappointed. Alchemy, seance.

, summoning, divination, and all kinds of magic. He is very good at it. He is even better than his master Tosaka Tokiomi in terms of healing. However, even though his father and Tokiomi praised him for his excellence, he was not happy.

The last thing I placed my hope on was the legendary heroic spirit, but it turned out to be boring. A schizophrenic ancient assassin, and a pretentious ancient king. The other masters should have recruited similar legendary figures, so what about the Holy Grail War?

Yes, it would be better if it ends as soon as possible. He will continue to look for things that interest him.

Kotomine Kirei poured gem solution into the last stroke of the summoning circle and stood up.

"Junior Brother Kirei~Thank you for your help~" Ryunosuke Uyuu walked into the summoning room holding a stack of documents: "I have also sorted out the information collected by Emil."

This "senior brother" is really easy to understand. It is initially judged that he is the kind of person who provides help to others to gain a sense of satisfaction and superiority. In other words, he is a good old man.

At present, except for Gilgamesh who has an eye above his head and Tohsaka Rin who is targeting him for some reason, Ryunosuke Uyu is almost unfavorable in interpersonal relationships - yes, he and that little girl's Assassin

She was able to talk to her, and even gave her a Sumerian name like "Emile". I don't know if she wanted to please the king.

No, he's teasing Assassin again, who is always grabbing his clothes.

"Is Emil good?" "Look what uncle brought you?" "Do you like it?" "Uncle has eaten it, Emil is so good~"

Amy...Assassin's superficial personality can't speak at all. It's a shame he can complete the communication.

Kotomine Kirei sat on the sofa and looked through the information handed over by Ryunosuke. Oh, it turns out that Emiya Kiritsugu participated in the Holy Grail War for such a stupid wish as world peace? So where did he appear in that war?

The reason why it ended so quickly is also clear, but he actually caught Caster's master before the battle, so he was somewhat capable.

And this master named Lin Hao... I was originally wondering why Caster occupied a hospital that couldn't be kept secret at all. Is this the case?

Transferring other people's diseases to yourself through magic... What could be the motivation?

She has been paralyzed for many years due to a magic accident... Could her wish to pray to the Holy Grail be related to this?

Judging from the medical records of the patients who were discharged from the hospital due to her, she was transferred to more than one disease each time, and when symptoms that would never have been possible at the same time appeared together...

Kotomine Kirei's thoughts were interrupted for a moment.

What pain did she feel?

244:43:1o

"it hurts!"

Irisviel pushed the door open and walked into Lin Hao's temporary ward. She saw the girl using a poor floating magic to move herself from the bed to the wheelchair next to the bed. However, she was frightened by the sound of the door opening, and the magic failed and she fell to the floor.

,Fortunately, all rooms in Einzbern Castle have thick carpets.

His strength was so poor that Emiya Kiritsugu looked at his wife who hurried over to help the girl and shook his head helplessly.

The girl probably didn't know that without the permission of the castle owner, she wouldn't be able to use any magic in a workshop full of magic barriers. In other words, as long as she used magic, Irisviel would be able to detect it, and a

Thoughts can stop it.

Although Ellie has probably agreed to everything.

"Is she the one you want me to see? Master." A solemn and stern voice sounded beside him.

With dark golden serious eyes, upright and delicate handsome facial features, a gorgeous antique black evening dress, slightly white gold silk, and a sassy and majestic noble temperament, this servant can be said to completely match the expectations of Arthur Pende, the King of Knights.

Everything about Lagon, except that she is a sixteen-year-old girl.

When Emiya Kiritsugu saw two sabers of different shapes appearing before, he had already completely surmised the reason for their appearance based on the history he knew.

Saber·1i1y is in the process of training to become a qualified king, so she is relatively weak and naive, while saber·a1ter comes from the cold and ruthless side of the noble king - if she does not follow chivalry and rules by force

A hypothesis.

As for the reason why they appeared at the same time, Kiritsugu also imagined that his wife Irisviel was actually the Small Holy Grail used by the Einzbern family to collect the defeated heroic spirits in the Holy Grail War.

After the heroic spirit soul, it will lose its current form and become an object called the Holy Grail.

In a sense, she is the Holy Grail itself. It is not impossible to summon additional heroic spirits on the premise that she also participates in the war. And because they use the same holy relics and summoning arrays, the two in King Arthur's life experience are different.

The two best states of human nature are transformed into different images.

As for the trivial matter that the legendary King of Knights turned out to be a girl, there is no need to consider it for the time being.

However, the current situation is still a bit troublesome. For example, the two Sabers dislike each other.

"I will never become like you in the future" and "You can only express your naive thoughts now" similar verbal exchanges dozens of times, which destroyed Kiritsugu's plans for the two heroic spirits to cooperate.

budding state.

The final solution is to let them each follow their own demon master without arranging cooperation, and formulate a battle plan based on this.

"Ah, that's right," Emiya Kiritsugu leaned against the door frame, looking at Irisviel and Saber·1i1y who were helping Lin Hao get back into the wheelchair, without looking at Saber·A1ter who came in afterward, and said calmly: "

This is Caster’s master who we accidentally discovered and captured while collecting intelligence before the war.”

"What do you mean?" Black Saber looked at the command spell on the back of the girl's hand.

"According to my approach, I will kill the seventh Servant after she appears and the Holy Grail War officially begins." Kiritsugu reached into the inner pocket of his coat, but found that Saber Bai had already stood between him and Lin Hao, with a look in his eyes.

It's full of denial and condemnation.

It seems that the Holy Grail has also instilled the concept of firearms into the Servant, Kiritsugu thought indifferently, then took out a cigarette from his pocket and held it in his mouth:

"It seems that you are opposed to it, so why don't you put forward other opinions?"

"Should..." Saber was about to say something, but hesitated and closed her mouth.

Yes, what should we do? Emiya Kiritsugu thought mockingly, let her summon a Servant for a head-on confrontation? Not to mention that the girl would definitely refuse to summon Caster because she values ​​Caster more than her own life. You, a Saber, want to fight Caster

A head-on confrontation? This is basically a threat, right? Let her go after a master has fully understood the internal situation of Einzbern Castle? Caster has the ability to create a position, and the corresponding position destruction ability is not small.

The enemy is not such a resource, an ally? When she didn't tell Saber the girl's wish, she definitely couldn't think of this method, so the only option left was to kill her.

"I am a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals," Emiya Kiritsugu lit up his cigarette, and then Irisviel looked at him, so he put it out again: "In order to achieve the goal of 'saving the world,' a mere six magicians

A teacher’s life is acceptable.”

Instead of causing a situation in the future when Saber discovers his own tricks in the battle, it is better to take this opportunity to clarify the positions of both sides, and the main purpose of these words is the lily-like girl knight.

The black knight next to her did not express any objection or intention to stop her after hearing her plan. From this, it seemed that she was indeed summoned based on her own nature.

"Let her go." Saber in the white dress hesitated for a while, and finally said firmly: "I swear with the honor of a knight, if this place is attacked, I will protect you and my wife with my life."

"That is your duty." Before Emiya Kiritsugu could speak, the black-dressed Saber snorted: "If you insist on letting her go, promise not to raise any objection to any of our actions in the Holy Grail War.

how?"

Did you use the word "we"? Emiya Kiritsugu nodded slightly with satisfaction. If he said that, if he really summoned the original Saber, he would probably be tit-for-tat with him and refuse to obey his orders.

"I, I agree..." saber·1i1y hesitated for a moment, and finally answered reluctantly.

"Don't be fooled, he is a killer." Probably because he heard the words about killing her, the character in the topic, Lin Hao, stared at Kiritsugu with a look that looked like a bad guy, even though Irisviel was smiling and comforting him.

It's no use either.

"Yes, yes." Kiritsugu didn't intend to get along well with her. After all, the identity of the magician killer was basically impossible to wash away. He took out a golden sword scabbard from the long relic box he carried with him, and placed it in the forest.

The look of shock in his eyes was directly sealed into her body.

"That's..." "Avalon?" The Sabers naturally recognize their own scabbard, but it has been lost in history, so Arturia in all forms cannot hold this precious phantom.

"Well," Kiritsugu looked back at his black servant and said, "Come here and touch her."

Avalon, an ideal land far away from the world, can provide powerful defense and healing. If used by King Arthur himself, it can even reach the point of absolute defense and the flesh and bones of the living dead.

It is common sense that holy relics cannot be given to heroic spirits who appear as servants. Otherwise, if the main body on the heroic spirit throne takes it back on a whim, although it can be used next time it is summoned, for the owner of the holy relics

The loss will be huge.

"You will kill her if you do that, Master." Saber A1ter manifested an unknown black long sword in the palm of her hand, with several bright red rings and lines across the sword body: "Appear in this posture.

I, who is in the world, will turn Avalon into a powerful destructive Noble Phantasm the moment I stir it up."

"I'll do it," Saber·1i1y, who was in an inexplicably better mood, walked over and touched the shoulder of the girl in the wheelchair with a surprised expression of "How did that thing get in?"

Buzz——

Following a certain resonance, a bright and gentle golden light emitted from the girl's body, and the faint sound of something being steamed could be heard.

"Thank you..." Lin Hao said softly, her voice still a little dry, but the next second she glared at Emiya Kiritsugu: "I'm not telling you."

Emiya Kiritsugu, who had no intention of listening at first, took Avalon back and handed it to Irisviel, which made Saber·1i1y who still wanted to say something very depressed.

"Are you still pursuing things that don't belong to you? It turns out I was so boring before." saber·a1ter sneered.

"Hmm..." Ignoring Saber who was arguing again, Irisviel pressed Lin Hao's arm, and a faint halo appeared in her palm: "... strange."

"What?" Emiya Kiritsugu, who was about to leave, saw Irisviel's expression change from relaxed to serious, so he asked.

"Xiao Hao's other diseases have disappeared, but the paralysis is still not cured." Irisviel frowned slightly: "It shouldn't be."

"Normal." Emiya Kiritsugu looked at Lin Hao's face with a "Let's see what you can tell" expression and said, "She borrowed the power of caster to transfer other diseases from the patients at Fuyuki Hospital. Even if they are cured,

It doesn't matter, but the paralysis existed before she came to Japan, and I'm afraid it's a generational experience. If curing her will cause another person to become paralyzed again, then Avalon will do nothing."

"Uh, no, it's not." Lin Hao looked like he was right.

"What a noble spirit of sacrifice." Saber·1i1y, who seemed to understand something, praised and bent down to hold Lin Hao's hand: "Please call your servant, I believe she must have noble qualities similar to you."

"No." Lin Hao still looked at Kiritsugu with eyes that looked at evil people.

"Hate." Emiya Kiritsugu turned around and left the room impatiently. Saber·A1ter glanced at the girl in the wheelchair and left.

"Kiritsugu decided to form an alliance with Xiaohao before he summoned you," Irisviel said to Saber in white, following Lin Hao's head: "It's just that he's not very good at words, and he only plans to treat this treatment as a meeting gift.

It’s much better with you here.”

"Please rest assured," Saber·1i1y said solemnly, trying to put on a serious expression: "Although I am immature, I will do my best to win for you in this Holy Grail War."

The white princess and the knight looked at each other and smiled.
