This sudden thunderstorm was summoned by Lu Xiao. He could control the wind direction, rain force and thunder and lightning landing point in the thundercloud area at will. Naturally, he could also use these wind and rain to cover his tracks.
Although the origin of the heroic spirit who plotted against both himself and Gilgamesh was still unclear, Lu Xiao already had a rough guess in mind.
After Lu Xiao evacuates from Einzbern Castle, Lancelot, who has lost his main target, will definitely entangle Arturia. These two people can be eliminated first.
Next was Rider Iskandar. Kamui Wheel had obviously just arrived from the direction of Einzbern Castle. Even if the alliance agreement between the two parties was not considered, the Rider team did not have time to commit the crime.
Excluding the caster, archer and assassin as victims and parties, the only ones left are saber... and a certain guardian without formal organization.
Saber and his master did not attend the king's banquet and were missing all night. According to common sense, there is indeed a high possibility of committing a crime.
But Lu Xiao didn't think that Diarmuid, who had too much chivalry, would hide in the dark and do such a thing, and Kenneth, who had already used two strokes of the Command Seal, couldn't possibly use the last stroke of the Command Seal because of such a thing.
No matter how important the heroic spirits are in history, they are still just familiars in the eyes of the arrogant Clock Tower Lord. Kenneth has the same idea as Tokiomi, and will definitely keep a command spell in his hand just in case.
After eliminating all other options, only one conclusion remains.
The guardian summoned by the power of suppression using the magic power of the Great Holy Grail——Red A.
Since Red A became a guardian, he has helped Inhibition to do countless assassinations. This method of diverting disaster to the east has no psychological burden on him.
From this perspective, Red A has probably guessed the alliance between Assassin and Caster.
That's why he deliberately attracted the King of Heroes, who had the strongest firepower in this Holy Grail War, and prepared to take the opportunity to rescue Irisviel when Gilgamesh breached Caster's workshop.
However, Red A, who was hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity, still miscalculated. He underestimated the defense power of Caster's magic workshop.
Da Vinci relied on the continuous replenishment of the earth's magic power and Sakura's command spell to hold on to Gilgamesh's King's Treasure House until Lu Xiao was called back by Rin's second command spell.
Although the Red A and Lancer groups have most likely guessed their relationship with Caster, other forces including the Saber and Archer camps are still somewhat dubious.
In order not to confirm their suspicions, Lu Xiao used thunder, lightning, wind and rain as cover, and in an instant attracted the thunder of Ba to destroy Gilgamesh's flying vehicle.
Although Gilgamesh is arrogant, he is not stupid. Lu Xiao believes that the hero king should have been aware of the fact that he was being plotted, but he was unable to retreat with dignity due to being attacked by the workshop's self-discipline defense system.
The sky boat Vimana was destroyed. Although Gilgamesh was very unhappy, he had a legitimate reason to retreat. The King of Heroes, who did not want to be used as a weapon for others, took the opportunity to leave the battlefield.
Iskandar, who was on the wheel of divine power, looked at Vimana who had turned into countless fragments with regret: "What a pity. It would be great if this masterpiece of an ancient magician could become my king's possession."
Vimana is a flying tool recorded in the two major narrative poems of ancient India, "Ramayana" and "Mahabharata". It relies on the sun crystal using mercury as fuel to absorb solar energy as power. It is a very excellent flying vehicle type treasure.
.
Gilgamesh's treasury of the king contains the original texts of all the treasures in the world. He said before that all the treasures in the world belong to him, and he is not just bragging. There is more than one treasure similar to the Holy Grail in his treasury.
However, the original canon is just the original canon after all. Without the sublimation of the legend of the owner of the noble phantom, it is impossible to exert their maximum power through the liberation of the true name.
Usually Gilgamesh will use the original treasure phantoms in the treasure house as cannonballs to continuously bombard the enemy.
As the King of Heroes, unwilling to be taken advantage of, evacuated on his own initiative, Lu Xiao also hid in the dark and returned to the workshop to meet up with Leonardo da Vinci.
"Tsk! It actually failed."
Hong A, who was hiding in Yuanzang Mountain and watching the scene with clairvoyance, smacked his lips in displeasure.
"But today's battle should make many people wary of Caster. If Kiritsugu is allowed to operate secretly, maybe..."
…
"cough!"
In the Einzbern Castle, the black-armored knight whose helmet was shattered suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood. The holy spear that pierced his chest no longer looked like it had before, and the gun body turned into a shining golden form of pure energy.
Lancelot, whose spiritual core was destroyed, was finally freed from the shackles of the berserker job. His distorted face gradually returned to calm, and the true glory of the Knight of the Lake was revealed at the last moment.
There was no reluctance or resentment on Lancelot's handsome face, but instead it was full of relief and relief.
"My king, thank you for your help. I can finally... ahem... feel at ease..."
Arturia sighed softly, and pulled out the Holy Spear that had regained its true form from Lancelot's chest. She hurriedly stepped forward to support the Knight of the Lake, whose spirit began to dissipate.
Arturia quietly looked at Lancelot with a smile on her lips, with a hint of self-blame in her eyes.
"Sir Lancelot, I didn't expect that you would always have such deep regret in your heart. It was my fault as a king that I failed to realize this."
"King, please don't...blame yourself."
Lancelot's voice became weaker and weaker, and his lower body began to dissipate.
"To the Knights of the Round Table, you will always be the King of Knights who points the way forward for us. No one will doubt your ability and achievements."
"My affair with Guinevere was the trigger that ruined Camelot. I have been regretting my actions for many years. If...history can be repeated...maybe..."
Before he finished his last words, Lancelot, who was smiling, turned into a golden flow of magic power and completely dissipated.
"Is history repeating itself..."
Arturia closed her eyes and was silent for a moment, and finally shook her head.
"Human beings still have to look forward after all."
…
The third night of the Holy Grail War ended, and the residents of Fuyuki City started a new day with the news of a natural gas explosion as always.
In the heavily damaged Miyama Town workshop, Lu Xiao checked Irisviel's condition and basically confirmed that another heroic spirit was out, and his soul was sucked into the Little Holy Grail.
Based on the situation and battle situation last night, it should be one of the lancers and berserkers who stayed in Einzbern Castle to fight to the death, and most likely it was the berserker who had experienced two fierce battles in succession.
Lu Xiao speculated that King Arthur should have released part of the power of the Holy Spear and defeated Berserker without outside supervision.
Just like Rider Iskandar said, after the banquet is over, he will start to get serious.
Starting from the fourth night, the battle at night will definitely be more intense than the tentative battle in the first three and a half days.
At Miyama Town Kobo Manufacturing Factory, Lu Xiao glanced at the large number of parts stored in categories indoors.
"How's it going? Your trump card isn't damaged, right?"
Da Vinci checked the situation inside the manufacturing facility and breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, although the automatic production line once stopped due to lack of magic power, it has now returned to normal and should be completed within the expected time."
"Oh! That's right."
Da Vinci rummaged around in the corner of the manufacturing facility and found a long black stick, placing it on the workbench in front of Lu Xiao.
"The multifunctional folding longbow you commissioned me to make is completed."
"oh?"
Lu Xiao looked around the seemingly inconspicuous black stick, and Da Vinci picked up the stick and gave Lu Xiao a demonstration.
"As long as the magic power is poured into it..."
"bass!"
The long black stick changed its shape under the influence of magic, and the overall structure curved. Magic strings connected the two curved corners. Da Vinci also tried to pull the bow string.
"You can change your form freely."
"Kacha!"
With Da Vinci's second operation, the bow automatically folded up and turned into a compact short staff.
"The materials you provided are very interesting. One of them has strong ductility and magic conductivity, and the other is amazingly hard. Combining them and calcining them, the final product is like this."
