A brisk and rhythmic knock on the door interrupted Hiroki Sajo's thoughts. He quickly arranged his appearance and put the cold black tea aside.
"Come in."
"Good evening, Master Shatiao."
Unexpectedly, it was Mikael who came. According to Aige, he was the Saber of this Holy Grail War. I thought that with the support of two Servants, the Sajo family should sweep this Holy Grail War, but in recent days,
, neither Saber nor Assassin made any big moves, they were just planning something.
"Do you have any information to report? Mikael-kun."
Hiroki Shajo rubbed his brows, and felt an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart. It seemed that something big had happened without him knowing.
"Well, the Holy Grail War ended just now."
"Wait, what did you say?!"
Hiroki Shajo suspected that he was hallucinating.
"The Holy Grail War is over."
Mikael sat opposite Hiroki Shajo, picked up the teapot with black tea familiarly, and poured himself a cup.
Hot steam rose above the tea cup, and the already cold tea returned to its temperature again. There was no trace of magic or other mysterious traces, as if it should be the case, but Hiroki Sajo's mind was still in a strong state of shock.
, did not notice this strange scene.
"How could...the Holy Grail War just...end?!"
It was clear that before tonight, the Seven Riders were still in a stalemate, and Rider's advantage was obvious. Hiroki Shajo was still planning how to unite other Masters to deal with Rider. Unexpectedly, the Holy Grail War ended just after midnight.
Already.
This is really not a funny joke.
"If we get rid of all the other Servants, won't we win the Holy Grail War?"
He shrugged, his words showing a very relaxed look, and he took a gentle sip of the black tea in the cup, feeling the mellow aroma explode on the tip of his tongue, immersing his taste buds.
"Is it the Lapsang Souchong produced in Wuyi Mountain, China? It is said that this kind of tea tree grows on the edge of the cliff. Monkeys are needed to pick the tea leaves, which is expensive. I didn't expect the Shatiao family owner to have such a treasure."
Mikael gave a reasonable evaluation and looked at Hiroki Sajo's dazed expression with interest.
Soon Hiroki Shajo reacted and stared straight at Mikael.
"So we are the final winners?"
His heart was beating violently, his throat was a little dry, and his voice could not help but become hoarse. Hiroki Sajo's body was trembling slightly, and he could hardly suppress his excitement, waiting for the obvious answer.
"No, there is no winner in this Holy Grail War, because the Holy Grail has been destroyed by me."
The airy reply filled the air with a deathly silence.
"The Holy Grail was destroyed? Why?"
The unbearable excitement in my heart suddenly fell silent, as if a large bucket of water had been poured on a newly ignited flame. Such ups and downs made Shatiao Hiroki almost unbearable, and his heart began to hurt violently.
"Why are you doing this, Mikael...!"
He stood up suddenly, clenched his fists involuntarily,
"The Holy Grail is the bridge to the source, our sad wish for thousands of years, and our hope that will continue for thousands of years! You actually - destroyed it!"
The anger contained in the voice almost set the world on fire, the magic circuit opened unconsciously, and the magic mark glowed slightly.
"Quiet."
Mikael stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers casually.
There was no sign of any spell unfolding, not even a trace of magic power. Hiroki Sajo's magic circuit went silent, and so did the magic mark, completely turning into an ordinary person.
Feeling the changes in his body, Hiroki Shajo took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
Only then did he realize that the young man in front of him was not something he could resist.
"Sorry, I just can't accept this reality."
After quickly adjusting his mentality, Hiroki Shajo said in a deep voice.
He did not doubt that Mikael secretly used the Holy Grail to realize his wishes, because the activation of the Holy Grail required the souls of the seven knights, and in the end, only the magician as the master would realize his wishes.
"It would be understandable if it were another magician, but if it were you, there is absolutely no need to sacrifice the near and the distant."
Listening to Mikael's words, Shajo Hiroki frowned slightly. This sentence was a bit confusing and confusing. Although he was only a canon magician and it was passed down from his family, he had no idea about the origin.
The pursuit is not inferior to others.
"After all, your daughter, Shajo Aige, has been connected to her roots since she was born."
"…………"
a brief silence,
Hiroki Shajo picked up the teacup and took a sip of the warm black tea. Too many things happened tonight, too much for him to accept. Not only was the Holy Grail destroyed, but even the magicians suffered.
The great wish that I have been pursuing so hard has been connected with my daughter since she was born...
The mellow black tea in his mouth was unexpectedly bitter. He shouldn't have believed this ridiculous statement, but if it was true, it would explain all the weird things that had happened over the years.
The inexplicable protection given to my wife when she was pregnant, the talent of my eldest daughter Ai Ge that far exceeds the inheritance of the family, those magic spells that have nothing to do with the family... everything, if it is connected to the source and favored by the world
, no matter how incredible things are, they will become natural.
"So, what do you mean...?"
He looked at Mikael in front of him, and while calmly, the hand hidden under the mahogany desk quietly touched the secret box. There was a pistol-shaped magic ritual, which contained special alchemy bullets.
With the aid of magic, it is possible to crush the servant's spiritual core at this distance while it is unprepared.
——As long as he shows his desire to study love songs.
Sajo Hiroki is well aware of the temperament of magicians, especially when it comes to things related to the root. If they know that the love song is connected to the root, there is a high probability, no, it should be said that she will be set as a [seal]
Designated], which is euphemistically called "protection", but in fact it is dissected for research, and in the end the various organs of the body will be preserved in formalin, or the soul will be imprisoned in the seance department for proper "protection".
He didn't want his daughter to end up in such a miserable state. It would be better to die than live like that. And although he himself was also pursuing the root cause, before he became a magician, he was still a father. If someone wants to hurt
His own daughter stepped over his own body first, even if he was facing a legendary hero.
