My name is Alaya,
This time it was Emil's dream...probably.
? ? :? ? :? ?
【When other men blindly follow the truth, remember. 】
【nothingtrue. 】
Kotomine Kirei found himself falling from a high altitude, his dark robes rustling with the wind pressure generated by the rapid descent.
Although he was very confused about the situation at this time, Kirei still quickly made a judgment on the current situation.
Not when encountering an enemy, no one can carry him to a high altitude and throw him down without alerting him. If he had that ability, wouldn't it be faster to kill him directly.
He is not subject to any restrictions, magic, physical skills, and command spells are all available, but his connection with Assassin has become very vague.
Below, the destination of his fall was a castle halfway up the mountain. The surrounding open fields were dotted with farms and pastures, all of which were very old-fashioned.
Combined with Teacher Tokiomi's unclear explanation of the Heroic Spirit's dream some time ago, and Ryuunosuke's very proud showing off, Kirei can already tell that this is the memory of Assassin, and he has replaced a character in their impressions to deal with that dream. Experience this piece of history first hand.
However, the first thing to solve is the problem of falling. It seems that the person who was replaced likes to appear from the ground.
————
"call--"
The rapid fall stopped the moment it was close to the ground. The pair of jet-black wings formed by the command curse and the powerful protective robe borne most of the impact. Kirei did not feel any discomfort, but was blown by the wind pressure of the landing. The other two were not so lucky. One of them was covered in dust from the old castle.
"Bah!" the assassin who had eaten a mouthful of ashes shouted, "I will teach you a lesson sooner or later! 'Send the Death Messenger'!"
"If you can do it." Kirei replied calmly and folded his wings.
Not only can they move at will, but the people in the dream don't care about the wings that appear inexplicably? It seems that this dream is not rigorous, and——
Kirei took a serious look at the two assassins beside him. They were not wearing the iconic black clothes and masks. Instead, they wore a strange white coat with a wide hood covering their face and many tool pockets.
As for the one who eats dirt, his voice should be "Zeid of the Base" - although the assassins usually use pseudo-voice when speaking, as their master, Kirei can still hear the original tone.
"Don't argue, 'Basic'." The assassin who had shrewdly avoided Kirei's landing position came over and separated the tense two people: "The mission is important, the target will arrive soon, and the method of 'making' is almost impossible It left traces of someone coming in, and the mountain man also praised it."
"Hmph, it makes those of us who came in advance to set up traps and clean up the traces look like fools." Zaid turned and walked away angrily.
"'Strange arm'?" Kirei asked, looking at the arm of the person who was trying to stop the fight, which was much larger than an ordinary person and was tightly wrapped in a strip of cloth.
"It's the 'Curse Wrist'," the dissuader burst into laughter from under the faceless hood: "When it comes to assassination, I'm much better than that stupid guy, hehehe——"
"Oh," Kirei acted as if he had heard the name before and nodded casually: "So, what is the mission?"
"..." "Curse Wrist" was stunned for a moment before replying in a strange tone: "Assassinate a leader of the Templars and seize the treasure he holds - even if you have never cared about the mission goal, you have to pay a little more attention this time. For a moment?"
It turns out that even if you do something that is inconsistent with your identity, your dreams will automatically correct you, and you will be regarded by others as "he is what he is." If you have the opportunity, you can test the bottom line of this effect.
"So what about the leader, does he have a longer heart or head than an ordinary knight?" Kirei suddenly popped out six black keys between his fingers.
"More annoying 'favors'," "Curse Wrist" looked at Kirei's black keys, shrugged and walked to the other side where Zaid left: "Remember to attack at the same time, and also, keep the leader's heart. Give me."
————
"God's grace? Haha..." When soldiers wearing red cross-emblem armor drove a cargo carriage into the castle courtyard, Kirei also saw the "Knight Leader", who was thicker than the other soldiers. Armor, holding a sword and shield, a snow-white cloak, and a full-face helmet, but in Kirei's eyes, what was more obvious was the faint golden light that enveloped him.
That is the so-called "divine grace" on him. It is actually the lowest level of [sacred magic]. The caster is completely isolated from the outside world. He is not affected and cannot exert any influence. If someone attempts to assassinate him, after an accidental failure, His stupor was enough for other soldiers to kill him.
"Hand over your heart!" "Curse Wrist" suddenly jumped down from high altitude, and the arm has turned into a huge claw that attracts attention: "[Delusional Heart Sound]!"
In terms of attracting attention, it was perfect. Kirei looked at Zaid who had changed into Templar armor at some point and was almost unnoticed walking through the group of soldiers approaching the knight leader. Without that [Sanctuary] technique], it is probably considered a success.
"Zheng!!"
Zaid's dagger stabbed the knight leader's back, but was blocked by a sudden golden wall of light. The knight leader directed other knights to besiege the "cursed wrist" while turning around and looking at the surrounded people. Zaid.
"It turns out that you are the ones who have been causing us trouble lately," the knight leader's voice sounded very proud: "You have confirmed that the goods are genuine, but you think this is not a trap? Under the surveillance of our informants, you two have nothing to hide. shape."
"Tch, I'm really unwilling to let you take the credit again." Zaid looked at the leader's back angrily.
"Do you think I will believe it?" The knight leader said without looking back: "If there is a third person ambushing in this abandoned castle, unless he flies in!"
Pfft, tsk——
The Holy Domain spell burst like a bubble, and the knight leader's throat was slit by three claw-like sharp weapons.
You - the knight leader covered his throat with his hands and fell to the ground unwillingly. He stared at Kirei who appeared behind him with wide eyes. Since he could not speak, he could only express his doubts with his eyes - who is it?
"Affiliated to the Burial Authority of the Holy Church, the chief representative of the Eighth Mystery Society," Kirei said, "'The Messenger of Death.'"
It's impossible - but we are - that the knight leader died in confusion and shock.
"Well done," "Curse Wrist" killed the Templar knights in front of him like chopping melons and vegetables without a commander. "The editor's identity is also very reasonable. In order to punish them, he collected and engulfed them without permission." The Knights Templar of the artifact fragments, the agents from afar.”
"If you pretend to be them, will there be a real agent coming?" Zaid also cleared away the knights who besieged him.
"Witches have been in the spotlight recently, and the church guys are busy dealing with them and the Magic Association. How can they care about us 'barbarians' who use cold weapons to fight?" "Curse Wrist" sneered.
The will of the world in this dream is a bit too easy to talk about. Kirei put away the black keys and thought silently,
? ? :? ? :? ?
[When other men are limited, by moral law, remember. 】
【Everything is allowed. 】
That castle attack was just the beginning. In order to seize the artifact fragments collected by the Templars, Assassin's assassins began an all-out war with them. Although they had no frontal combat effectiveness, various sneak attack methods made them difficult to guard against.
Kirei also found "Swift" Macul, "Strange Wrist" Gozier, "Hundred Faces" Melty, and other seventy-two ordinary assassins who had impressions in Assassin's castle base.
But Emil was not found, and no one had any impression of this name - it was originally named by Ryuzosuke, how could it exist in history?
In addition, during the battle with the Templars, Kirei's reputation as "The Messenger of Death" became more and more famous, and he himself was on the wanted list of felons within the control of the Templars - but the bearded man with the hood was who?
As Kirei's reputation grew, some powerful assassins such as "Imaginary Poison Needle", "Shadow Lantern" and "Tranquility" also took the initiative to offer olive branches to seek cooperation. After all, his "ignoring all divine favors" trait was too great. Conveniently, the goals that they originally needed to fight for a long time could be solved with a single sword.
As the fragments of the artifact named "Garden of Eden" were seized by the assassins one after another, the shape of the artifact that was combined became clearer and clearer. The thing looked like a golden goblet that needed to be held in both hands to pick up.
After many appraisals, it was confirmed that this treasure is called the "Holy Grail" and will make the holder immortal. However, if you lose it, you will die instantly. This means that if you want to live forever, you must carry it with you at all times. This is for those who need it. There is absolutely no point in the arrival of fast-moving assassins. Perhaps it can be handed over to older assassins who have retired but have not yet imparted their skills and skills.
However, Kirei, who has never found Emil, feels that the function of this Holy Grail is probably similar to the one in Fuyuki City. After all, every piece of the artifact recovered represents the death of at least one Templar elite. It can be regarded as a battle with only assassin. The Holy Grail War that Saber participated in, especially the different types of "favors", were almost the same as inherent skills.
When the Holy Grail was finally put together, the assassins decided to give the Holy Grail to the original assssin, the "mountain man". After all, he always wore heavy armor. As long as the Holy Grail was fixed inside the armor, there would be no problem. The "death messenger" who has been fighting at the forefront was given to him.
"Well," Kirei took the tray with the golden Holy Grail and finally decided to give it a try, so he said to the Holy Grail, "My wish is to find Emil."
Phew—the "Death Messenger" disappeared out of thin air along with the Holy Grail.
27:28:17
【we workthe darkserve the light，】
【we are assassins】
[nothingtrue, everythingpermitted. 】
Well...I will be considered a traitor now.
After realizing that he had woken up, Kirei did not open his eyes, but thought silently.
He originally wanted to find Emil in the dream, but was kicked out of the dream. Emil was indeed in reality, but does this mean that the method of realizing wishes with things like the Holy Grail is a big trap?
