Sajo Ayaka slowly opened her eyes and found that the top of her head was an endless blue sky that looked as if it had been washed by water.
She supported her body and stood up slowly. She saw the endless wilderness in front of her eyes. The mountains and plains were covered with small white flowers. The gentle breeze lifted her hair, and a faint floral fragrance lingered on the tip of her nose.
.
Of course, the most important thing is the tall tower that reaches the sky, standing not far from me, seeming to be waving to me.
She tried hard to recall, but she only remembered that after escaping from Linglongguan's house, she inexplicably lost consciousness halfway, and then she didn't know anything.
"Lily."
Sajo Ayaka subconsciously called her servant in a low voice, maybe her servant knew something.
"Master——"
Lily's figure slowly solidified with the radiance of the spirit child, and then she hugged Sajo Ayaka and let out a whimpering sound.
"I'm sorry, Master, it's because I'm too weak. If I were stronger, I could protect you. I'm really an immature knight."
Feeling Lily's slender figure trembling slightly in her arms, Sajo Ayaka gently patted her back and said in a serious tone,
"Don't blame yourself so much. Look, I'm fine."
"But, Master, you were still injured."
"Then I have forgiven you."
"This is just a dream. I actually wanted to ask the Master in the dream to forgive me. Ah, I really can't be forgiven."
"?"
With a question mark on her face, Sajo Ayaka supported Lily's shoulders and looked at her little cat-like face,
I didn't expect that the usually serious White Knight Ji would have such a side. She suppressed her smile and asked,
"Is this a dream?"
"Isn't this a dream?"
Lily asked back, as if she suddenly thought of something, her fair face quickly turned red, she quickly wiped away the tears on her face, and said stutteringly,
"Well... no, that's right, this is a dream. Just wake up, wake up and you'll be fine."
【——Lily, don’t deceive yourself】
Sajo Ayaka complained in her heart, but looking at Lily with her head lowered and her face full of shyness, she couldn't help but have a strange feeling in her heart, and suddenly wanted to tease her.
But after thinking about it, she finally gave up the idea. After all, understanding the current situation was the most important thing.
"Since we are not dreaming, where are we now?"
Lily shook her head blankly. She didn't know how she appeared here. In her memory, she had been staying by the Master's side. Then she suddenly heard the Master's call in her ears, and when she realized it, she was already there.
Appeared here.
"Hey - this tower is...?"
At this time, she also noticed the tall tower. After all, there was only such a conspicuous building in the endless wilderness.
"At least it's definitely related to the Holy Grail War."
Sajo Ayaka took a long breath, and her mood calmed down inexplicably.
"Maybe we can find the answer to the question if we enter that tower."
"Don't worry, Master, I will definitely protect you this time, risking the honor of the knight and the future King of Britain."
Lily said confidently.
"Well, I believe Lily."
Sajo Ayaka also nodded, and Lily came to the high tower and put her hand on the door.
As a result, before they could exert any force, the door in front of them slowly opened, revealing the passage leading inside. However, the passage was shrouded in a flowing heavy golden mist, making it difficult to see the scene inside clearly.
Sajo Ayaka and Lily looked at each other, then held hands and walked into the fog door together.
The moment she crossed the fog gate, Sajo Ayaka felt that time seemed to have lost its meaning. Maybe a long time had passed, maybe a few seconds had passed. The only thing that could leave her with a real feeling was the hand she held tightly.
Lily's hand,
Bright light shone on her body, and Sajo Ayaka opened her eyes. She found that she actually appeared in a narrow area. There was only a road with a width of about eight lanes leading to the castle not far away, and at the entrance of the passage.
On both sides, there is an abyss with no bottom as far as the eye can see.
The sun hanging in the sky was blood red, exuding an icy temperature, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, as if many people had just died.
——But in fact it is indeed the case.
In this relatively narrow passage, the remains of soldiers were piled up in various directions. Some broken spears were stuck on the ground. The rough stone ground was covered with blood, and the original color could not be seen.
Sajo Ayaka's face turned ugly. Even though she was a witch, the most she had done was to kill pigeons as magic sacrifices. How had she ever seen such a scene?
She subconsciously took a deep breath, trying to calm down her mood, but she almost spat it out with the strong smell of blood.
【So where exactly is this place?】
The building you see is sturdy yet gorgeous. It seems to be a building from a certain period in the West, but at least it cannot be from the Far East.
She turned around and looked behind her. The fog door was indeed still there, but when she stretched out her hand to touch the fog door, it was blocked by the flowing fog as expected.
At the same time, using magic power to enhance her vision, Sajo Ayaka saw the existence of a gate on the opposite side of this passage.
Then it is already clear that he needs to go through this passage and go to the location of the gate.
Subconsciously raising her wrist and seeing the bracelet given to her by her sister, Sajo Ayaka felt inexplicably relieved.
Take it as it comes, don't you have to prove yourself to your father? Then you just need to move forward, solve it if you encounter difficulties, and have faith in your followers.
"Unknown Master and Servant——"
The majestic and hoarse voice echoed in the air, like the sound of an ancient bell, waking up the battlefield that had been silent for a long time.
"Manipulated by foolish greed, you also want to get the Holy Grail?"
The next moment, a dark figure jumped down and landed in front of Sajo Ayaka and Lily. The ground shook, and the huge impact set off air waves, carrying broken weapons and debris and flying to all directions.
"Master, be careful——!"
Lily stretched out her hand and pulled Sajo Ayaka behind her. The dazzling Sword of King Selection appeared in her hands, the pure white silver armor stomach appeared on her body, and the Dragon Furnace's heart beat violently, entering a fighting posture.
She waved the holy sword and slashed out a sword light, cutting away the air waves to avoid hurting Sajo Ayaka behind her.
"With the sword drawn, are you ready to fight?"
"Then the fire, including the fire, should be put out."
"I, the Guardian of the Holy Grail, execute it immediately."
