In an unknown space, two invisible beings are communicating in a special way.
Existence 1: "Marda failed, what should we do next?"
Existence 2: "Disasters of all sizes are still happening in countless parallel worlds. We cannot put too much energy into one of them."
"Send another guardian to Fuyuki to try to eliminate the intruder. If it fails again, we can only temporarily abandon the elimination plan and closely monitor his every move."
Existence 1: "No objection."
…
Lu Xiao
Strength:30
Agility:40
Constitution: 22
Spirit:24
While waiting for the start of the Holy Grail War for a year, Lu Xiaolu gradually allocated the remaining 13 free attribute points to agility and strength, and then digested all these increased attributes through exercise.
Coupled with the attribute bonus of the assassin job agency, Lu Xiao's agility panel in Xingyue World has reached a terrifying A+ rating.
The magnificent first night of the Holy Grail War has passed, and all the forces have gained a certain level of understanding of their competitors through successive high-intensity collisions.
On the first day, no regular servants were eliminated. Some of the masters were injured, but everyone was still alive and healthy.
The biggest loser of this night was the Fuyuki Church, which thought it had a right to justice.
Martha, one of the twelve saints of Christianity, came as a ruler as the referee of the Holy Grail War. The Holy Church respected Martha's instructions and called on the masters who participated in the Holy Grail War to jointly defeat the "Lord"'s enemy, Assassin.
However, the results of this joint operation backfired.
Due to the selfish nature of the magicians, with the battle provoked by the Lancer Master as the trigger, the masters started fighting among themselves before they cooperated to encircle and suppress Assassin.
Ruler Malda was defeated in a two-on-one battle with Saber and was killed by Assassin using his Noble Phantasm.
Saber, who was extremely chivalrous, ignored her master's dissuasion and conveyed the news that Martha revealed before her death to the Holy Church as agreed. Then the depressed Kotomine Rimasa informed other masters of Assassin's part of the information.
"Crack!"
Kenneth, whose left shoulder was bandaged, looked angrily at Diarmuid, who was half-kneeling in front of him with his head lowered, and his right hand hit the armrest of the chair in the temporary workshop.
"Saber! What on earth are you thinking!"
"Ruler has withdrawn. Assassin's secret information should belong to us alone. Why should we pass the information to the Holy Church?"
Compared with himself as a Lancer, Diarmuid as a Saber does not have the magical charm of the tear mole, and will not uncontrollably release passive charm magic to women.
But on the other hand, Saber Diarmuid is better than the Lancer in the spirit of chivalry. He cannot tolerate violating the orders of chivalry and will make some arbitrary decisions based on his own judgment.
Although he still bowed his head and showed an attitude of surrender, Diarmuid did not regret at all for his actions in keeping his promise.
"My Lord, as a knight of the Fiona Knights, I must abide by the instructions of the dying person. I..."
"Shut up! I will... hiss at your knight!"
In his excitement, Kenneth's body subconsciously leaned forward, and the left shoulder injured by Emiya Kiritsugu's large-caliber sniper bullet once again felt severe pain.
"Tsk! Damn heretic in the magic world!"
Seeing that Kenneth was temporarily interrupted by his pain from scolding Saber, Sora, who was watching, took the opportunity to stand up and smooth things over.
"That's enough, Kenneth, Saber has his own ideas. This is the condition he put forward when he responded to your call. One of the twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower will not just break his promise, right?"
"But……"
Facing his fiancée Sola, Kenneth could no longer see the arrogant expression on his face. He defended himself somewhat tangledly: "Sora, you have to know that what we are facing is a war. Even knights cannot fight in a war."
Don’t you need some pragmatic means?”
Sora crossed his arms in front of his chest and snorted in displeasure: "Although the Holy Grail War is called a war, in the final analysis it is just a small-scale secret battle between seven magicians manipulating their familiars. Is it necessary to go online like this?
"
"Kenneth, you are the monarch of the Clock Tower. In name, you are the highest-ranking magician in the Clock Tower. You may even have a chance to win the title in the future. Don't you feel confident that you can win this battle in a remote area?
"
To the magicians of the Clock Tower, the war held in Fuyuki City was just a small magic ceremony that took place in the Far East. Kenneth only participated in this war with the idea of broadening his horizons.
Although he has some interest in the so-called universal wishing machine, his participation in the battle is more to prove his ability as a monarch.
Achieving final victory is his main goal, rather than pinning his hopes on the Holy Grail itself like other Masters.
After thinking about it for a while, Kenneth reluctantly listened to Sora's persuasion, but when he saw Sora's peach blossom eyes that seemed to sparkle when he looked at Diarmuid, Kenneth couldn't help but snorted coldly.
"Okay, Saber, you can go down first. I don't want your disobedience to happen again."
"Thank you for your understanding, my lord."
As Diarmuid turned into a spirit and left, Sola's face clearly showed disappointment. Seeing this scene, Kenneth frowned tightly.
‘Diarmuid from Saber Agency does not have any innate charm. In other words, Sora fell in love with him through his own will?’
For the ladies of the magician family who have been kept in a small circle for many years, novels about knights and wizards have been their reading to pass the time since childhood. It is natural that handsome young men who uphold the spirit of chivalry will have a fatal attraction for the harems.
Considering the legend of Diarmuid "seducing" the lord's wife, Kenneth felt very resentful.
He knew very well that Sola's behavior could not be blamed on Diarmuid, but as the victim, Kenneth's opinion of Diarmuid inevitably declined. This was a very common anger.
"Magician Killer, Emiya Kiritsugu!"
Kenneth, who was already in a bad mood, had a ferocious smile on his face: "Wild dogs begging for food on the battlefield, I want to show you how terrifying a real high-end magician can be when he goes all out!"
…
Kenneth suffered some minor injuries, and Emiya Kiritsugu also suffered a severe overdraft during the battle with Kenneth, and immediately fell into a coma after returning to Einzbern Castle.
The small-scale battle between Lancer and Archer failed to determine the winner. When Kenneth summoned Saber to his side, Emiya Kiritsugu gave Lancer the order to retreat on the way to escape.
Archer ignored Tokiomi Tosaka's advice to pursue him and returned to Tosaka's house on his own.
When he summoned Gilgamesh, Tokiomi thought he was sure to win, but after getting along with him for a while, he realized that his thoughts were too optimistic.
Gilgamesh, who has the ability to act alone at A+ level, has too strong personal opinions. Even if he expresses respect for him as a minister, Gilgamesh still acts in his own way, causing Tokiomi Tosaka a headache.
On the other hand, when Berserker and Rider were fighting, Kotomine Kirei alone found the sniper point where Kuon Maiya was hiding and launched a sneak attack.
Just as Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't understand Kotomine Kirei's behavior, Kotomine Kirei couldn't understand Emiya Kiritsugu's often unintended behavior of rushing into the center of the battlefield.
Different from Kiritsugu's fear, Kirei, who has been unable to share the joys, sorrows and joys of ordinary people since childhood, became interested in the true meaning behind Emiya Kiritsugu's strange actions. He wanted to know more about Kiritsugu and solve his own longing through studying him.
Years of doubt.
With stricter arrangements in advance, Kuon Maiya did not fight with Kotomine Kirei and used smoke bombs to temporarily obscure his sight, and successfully escaped from the elevator shaft of the building.
The battle between Berserker and Rider also ended without a winner. When Rider was about to take action to liberate the Kamui Wheel, a disappointed Kotomine Kirei ordered Berserker to retreat first.
"Oh~ Is this the battle of heroic spirits?"
Da Vinci, who was sitting in the workshop, used a crystal ball to watch the entire process of the siege against Assassin. Rin and Sakura also watched with interest.
The thoughtful Da Vinci jumped up after the battle: "Very good, I have an idea!"
"Master, when Assassin comes back, help me tell him that I will be in seclusion for a period of time to design and manufacture special magic tools for heroic spirits."
Sakura smiled and nodded: "Okay, caster, it's up to you."
