Even though he was attacked by the three cavalry servants, the Linglong Palace family still had no intention of fighting back. There was no light inside the mansion, and the dark windows were like a bottomless abyss, or like the malicious eyeballs of a monster.
Lancer and Archer walked side by side, standing in front of the gate of Linglong Pavilion. The heavy carved metal gate was easily cut open, and the wide hall came into view.
The smooth marble floor can be used as a mirror. Whether it is decoration or anything else, it reflects the luxury and self-cultivation that a famous magician should have.
Archer stepped into the mansion without hesitation. He had confidence in himself. With the help of ncer and berserker, even if he entered the magic position that caster had built in advance, he could at least escape safely.
Following the spiral staircase in the hall to the second floor, he didn't feel any strange magic, not even life. The whole mansion was as lifeless as a mausoleum.
Soon, NCER explored the Linglong Hall mansion without encountering any obstacles. Soon, they came to the basement and saw the scene in front of them.
………
"Elsa, something happened here. The owner of the Linglong Pavilion is dead."
Archer's voice sounded in Elsa's mind, and at the same time, Kurono Tatsumi also received Berserker's message.
"The head of the Linglong Pavilion is dead? How is that possible?!"
Kurono Tatsumi and Erza couldn't help but look at each other, seeing the shock in each other's eyes. With the [Temple]-level magic workshop built by Caster, even the strongest Rider among the current Seven Servants cannot remain silent.
The caster's base camp kills his master, even the most proficient assassin can't do it.
If it had not been for the fact that Kuraino Sunda and the others were determined to end the Holy Grail War and attack the Reilongkan family, no one would have discovered it until the end of the Holy Grail War.
“I always feel like I’m involved in something particularly troublesome.”
Kuruno Tatsumi couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows and showing a wry smile. If the head of the Linglongkan family dies, ending the Holy Grail War will become too much trouble, and it is likely to bring greater harm to Tokyo.
.
Besides, he is just an ordinary high school student. Does anyone really think that a mere high school student can save the world?
"I need to confirm."
After pondering for a moment, Elsa made a decision. Although it might be a trap set by the owner of the Linglong Pavilion, she had to get into this trap. If the life and death of the owner of the Linglong Pavilion could not be determined, the subsequent strategy formulation would also be greatly affected.
Big impact.
"You stay here."
"Eh--?"
Kurono Tatsumi was stunned for a moment when he heard Elsa's words, but he soon understood that if a battle really happened, Elsa, as a magician, would still be able to fight, and he would be just a dragster.
, dragging everyone back.
"alright, I got it."
So he nodded, indicating that he was obeying Elsa's instructions.
"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."
Seeing the disappointment in Kureno Tsumi's eyes, Elsa reacted and quickly apologized to him.
Kurinotsumi waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he really didn't care about this.
"If you encounter danger, you must call Berserker, and don't be stingy with command spells. Saving your own life is the most important thing."
Elsa warned again and again, then took out the pistol from the shoulder bag at her waist and handed it to Kurinotsumi.
"Take this first, a firearm-type magic gift. Inject magic power into it and then shoot. The power of the alchemy bullet can be comparable to two measures of magic."
"This is...a pistol?!"
Kurano Tsumi looked at the pistol that was handed to him, and took it in a daze. Feeling the coldness of the part that touched his palm and the heavy weight, he couldn't help but shudder.
"I really can't use this..."
He carefully held the handle of the gun, as if he were holding a wild beast that could break out and hurt someone at any time. The muzzle of the gun was pointed toward the ground, and he did not even dare to put his finger near the trigger.
"Very simple."
Elsa came over and guided Kurano Tsumi hand in hand, "First, break off this safety device, then turn your body sideways and take a step forward."
"You really don't know how to get angry..."
Kurono's voice trembled slightly, and sweat ran down his cheeks like his shirt. He just felt that his body was extremely stiff, as if it didn't belong to him.
"Bend this arm a little, wrap the gun handle, so that the center of gravity of the body will be on the forefoot, then straighten the hind legs, keep an eye on the crosshair, and finally fire, it's very simple, right?"
"Yeah, yeah."
Kurono Tatsumi nodded repeatedly, with even more sweat on his face. He was so nervous that he didn't even remember what Elsa was saying.
"Then I'll go to Linglongguan Residence to confirm first. I guess it won't take too long."
Elsa took out another pistol from her shoulder bag and skillfully checked the condition of the firearm and magazine. As a war correspondent, being proficient in the operation of modern thermal weapons is not a big deal.
"Come on, young man. I'm optimistic about you."
She smiled and waved to Lai Yexun, then opened the door to the rooftop.
[If there is indeed a trap set up in advance at the Linglong Pavilion, at least you can survive.]
The door closed behind her, and the smile on Elsa's face disappeared, replaced by solemnity and solemnity. She fought with the head of the famous magic family in the far east. If she could survive, her father would definitely teach her a lesson for her recklessness.
She thought to herself, and then walked down the stairs into the darkness below without hesitation.
………
"It's actually a real pistol..."
Kurano Tatsumi sat on the ground, leaning against the wall, carefully looking at the firearm in his hand. The safety device had been snapped back, but even so, he still felt like it could misfire at any time while holding it in his hand.
"I don't know what the situation is like with the owner of Linglong Pavilion."
He placed the pistol on the ground beside him, looked at the night sky above his head and took a deep breath. Not even a single star could be seen tonight, and most of the moon was covered by dark clouds.
"I don't know if Xiaohuan is home yet, and I haven't even called her. It's really worrying."
Kurino Tatsumi suddenly thought of his sister who was taking the Shinkansen home at noon. The heavy weight in his heart was relieved a lot. He couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face, "It seems that my brother is not qualified to talk about her."
"Indeed, what qualifications does a scumbag who has fallen into a Death Apostle have to preach to others?"
Before he finished speaking, a roaring sound broke the silence of the night. All Tatsumi could see was the flash of silver light. He grabbed the pistol beside him and rolled it forward.
Qiang——
The sharp sword blade woven with magical power sank easily into the cement wall, leaving only the dark hilt shaking violently outside.
"Tsk, I actually let you escape. You are really lucky."
Along with the sound of footsteps, a man hidden in the shadows walked out, his words full of disdain for killing. Kurano Tsumi looked at this man and couldn't help but widen his eyes with a look of disbelief on his face.
