The sun is three poles high, and the fiery red sun hangs in the blue sky.
The golden sunshine dispelled the chill of early winter, and there was a hint of fireworks in the originally cold and solemn Liudong Temple.
"Kariya, don't sprinkle too much cumin, remember to add some pepper."
"Wu Ming, I baked that bunch, don't eat it secretly."
"Saber, I got it, I just took the wrong one."
In the center of the temple courtyard, there is a black barbecue grill, the charcoal fire emits red light, and some barbecue grills are placed on the iron grid above.
Chicken wings, beef skewers, fresh fish fillets, mutton skewers, ham sausages, leeks, tofu skin and other meat and vegetable ingredients are steaming and being grilled over charcoal fire.
The fragrance overflowed and gradually spread to the entire courtyard.
Matou Kariya, Artoria, and Ren surrounded the barbecue grill, chatting without a word while enjoying a sumptuous lunch.
The abbot's family has already left for vacation, otherwise they will definitely be stopped. Of course, it is also possible to have extra meals together.
Matou Kariya sprinkled a little cumin on a bunch of chicken wings, blew in a few breaths, and took a satisfying bite.
Chewing the fragrant chicken, he glanced at the incense burner next to him and asked hesitantly:
"It is a pure place of Buddhism. Is it really okay for us to have barbecue here?"
"It doesn't matter, we are not monks, we are just living here temporarily." Ren said with a bright smile while eating ham sausage, "Eat more meat to replenish your physical strength for the battle, Saber, am I right?"
Saber's little face was filled with a happy smile, her eyes were narrowed into crescent shapes, and she looked full of energy.
Britain's foodie king keeps stuffing all kinds of delicacies into her little mouth. Even in this way of eating, her every move still looks very elegant and cute.
After hearing Wu Ming's words, Dai Mao Wang immediately nodded:
"It's not good to do this in a temple, but it's important to eat... to replenish your strength. The monks will understand."
How can some rules and regulations be compared to delicious food?
Ren smiled when she saw this, only at this moment she looked like a girl.
He picked up a cooked spicy grilled octopus skewer and handed it to her: "Saber, try this, it's very delicious."
The Daimao King took the barbecue skewer with his little hand, with a trace of hesitation on his face. He glanced at him and asked:
"Wu Ming, this kind of food seems a bit...disgusting."
"It just looks a little strange, girl, this is seafood, very delicious." Renn took a bite of the beef skewers and handed her a bottle of chili powder. "With the chili, it tastes very refreshing."
After Saber sprinkled a little chili powder on the grilled octopus, she put it to her mouth and didn't know what to do. The rich aroma tempted her, but the appearance of the octopus made her hesitate.
Ren stared at her with a playful smile.
Originally, Artoria was disgusted by the tentacle monsters and sea monsters used by the French marshal, and she has had a shadow since then, and will never eat food such as octopus and squid again.
But now that Marshal Gill's position is occupied by him, these things have not happened.
Master Ren shrugged his shoulders and said slightly narrowly:
"Saber, you have to be brave enough to try delicious food. Did you know that things with tentacles are very popular among girls?
As soon as the beautiful girls come into contact with this, their faces will turn red and they can't help moaning... ahem, they can't help but let out excited shouts of joy. "
Saber had a tangled look on her face, always feeling that his words were strange, and stared at him suspiciously: "Wu Ming, is it really so delicious?"
"Ahem!" Matou Kariya seemed to be choked, coughed twice violently, and quickly drank a glass of water.
"Mr. Matou, are you okay?" Saber asked.
"it's okay no problem."
Yanye waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and then glanced at Wuming who was smiling playfully, feeling quite speechless.
Unable to resist the temptation of delicious food, Saber finally took a bite, and her eyes immediately lit up.
Ren opened a bottle of beer and poured himself a glass: "Saber, how does it taste?"
"The taste is not bad." King Daimao tasted the octopus skewers, nodded first, and then commented, "But it's not as exaggerated as you said, and it won't make you shout excitedly."
"Ahem." Ren coughed twice and said seriously, "It's a matter of size. This octopus is too small and doesn't have many tentacles on its body, which affects the experience."
"Is it better to have more tentacles?" King Da Mao asked curiously.
Although he knew she didn't mean it this way, Ren couldn't help but laugh:
"Of course, the more tentacles, the better. Girl, you are still too young to know the mystery."
Saber looked confused and didn't know how to reply.
"Hahahaha." Yanye couldn't help laughing.
He felt a little funny when he saw Wuming teasing Saber seriously, but she didn't know anything about it.
It was an interesting scene when these two servants were together.
"Mr. Matou, what's wrong with you?" King Daimao was a little confused, wondering why Kariya was so happy.
Ren Shuai glanced at Matou Kariya and said slightly mockingly:
"Kariya, you know so much and you are not honest at all."
"Both each other, Wu Ming, I really didn't expect that you, a heroic spirit, could be so knowledgeable."
Matou Kariya couldn't help complaining that he always felt that Wu Ming and several other servants had different style of painting.
King Da Mao: “…………”
What are they two talking about?
The three of them were chatting and eating barbecue happily.
When Father Kiritsugu rushed back to Ryudou Temple after a long journey, he saw such a happy scene.
"Come on, Saber, try this skewer of squid."
"Mr. Matou, you put too much chili pepper."
"Wu Ming, stop grilling squid and octopus. I'm tired of it."
Father Kiritsugu: "..."
What are you three doing?
Emiya Kiritsugu's head was covered with black lines and he was very speechless. Such a leisurely scene seemed as if there was no Holy Grail War at all and they were just on an outing and vacation.
Seeing that the Magician Killer was back, Ren stretched out his hand to project a small Mazar and said to him enthusiastically:
"Kiritsugu, thank you for your hard work. Come and join us for dinner."
"Are you not nervous at all?"
Emiya Kiritsugu, who was wearing a black trench coat, twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, walked to the center of the courtyard in a few steps, and sat on a pony.
Yan Ye ate mutton skewers and shook his head: "It's useless to be nervous."
"We are replenishing our physical strength to deal with powerful enemies." King Daimao said seriously.
Renn took a sip of the cool beer and smiled: "Come on, you haven't eaten enough this morning, let's have a snack together."
Emiya Kiritsugu was speechless. He picked up a skewer of beef on the grill and took a bite. Hey, it tastes so good... Ahem!
These guys were too lax, and Father Kiritsugu decided to remind them that the Holy Grail War is very dangerous.
With a serious look on his face, he told the information he had obtained in the morning: "The latest information, Tokiomi is dead!"
"Oh, Tokiomi is dead." Matou Kariya seemed to have no reaction and continued to read.
Ren said subconsciously: "Why did Shi Chen rush to the street?"
"Who is Shichen?" King Daimao asked vaguely as he kept stuffing delicious food into his little mouth.
Father Kiritsugu: "..."
This group of people were so lax, it was too much. Just as Emiya Kiritsugu was about to explain something, the three of them suddenly became excited at the same time.
Kariya looked stunned and couldn't help but exclaimed to Kiritsugu: "What did you say? Tokiomi Tosaka is dead?"
"Toki...cough, Tokiomi is dead, it's over, who will take the blame now." Ren curled his lips and complained.
Stopping eating, King Daimao finally reacted: "Kiritsugu, who killed Archer's master?"
Father Kiritsugu: "..."
Are reflex arcs that long?
Emiya Kiritsugu's cheeks twitched and he sighed. None of these pig teammates seemed to be reliable.
One god brings three pits.
"This morning, the Holy Church announced the death of Tokiomi Tosaka. As for the cause of death, they said it was me."
Father Kiritsugu, who was a little tired, told the information again.
"Kiritsugu, how did you kill Archer's master?" Saber subconsciously blurted out. After saying this, she realized something was wrong.
Emiya Kiritsugu explained expressionlessly: "I didn't do it."
He had often squatted outside Tohsaka's house with his sniper rifle set up. Unfortunately, Tokiomi Tokiomi was too stubborn and didn't give him a chance to shoot his head.
"Who did that? Rider and the others?"
Matou Kariya was a little excited. He was planning to wait for Tokiomi to come to Ryudōji Temple to mock him, but he died so quickly.
The stupid king was very puzzled and said hesitantly: "So, Archer has been eliminated?"
Emiya Kiritsugu just shook his head. He was not that optimistic. He stared at Muming with his deep eyes:
"What do you think?"
"The one who took action should be Kotomine Kirei. He has become the new master of the King of Heroes." Ren's expression was calm.
He glanced at Saber subconsciously and made a decision in his mind.
Kariya and Saber were both confused when they heard this. They didn't know Kotomine Kirei, so naturally they didn't understand why he wanted to kill their teacher.
Father Kiritsugu nodded, not surprised by this answer.
After being strengthened with runes by Caster, he is now fearless. Kotomine Kirei is no match for him.
Rather than worrying about his master, Emiya Kiritsugu was more concerned about the situation of his servants. Both the King of Heroes and the King of Conquerors were very difficult to deal with.
Against them, Saber and Wuming may not be able to take advantage.
"Wu Ming, are you okay?" Kiritsugu asked.
"The plan remains as usual, leave the servants to me and Saber, and you and Kariya just prepare what you have to do." Ren waved his hand, indicating that this would not affect the overall situation.
Father Mapo's frontal combat strength is no better than Tokiomi Tokiomi's. Of course, he is much more insidious than Tokiomi. Ren knows this and has already made a decision in his heart.
Seeing how confident he was, Emiya Kiritsugu breathed a sigh of relief.
In his mind, Kariya is half-assed and unreliable, and the King of Knights is also unreliable. His greatest confidence is Wu Ming.
In Kiritsugu's opinion, in this Holy Grail War, only this unfathomable Caster can defeat the famous King of Heroes, and everyone else has to rely on luck.
A few people ate barbecue and discussed the details. After lunch, they began to wait quietly for nightfall.
No one panicked.
After all, no conspiracy or trick is easy to use now. If you want to get the Holy Grail, you must have absolute strength.
In the afternoon, Renn spent some time strengthening the anti-spiritual barrier and reinforced the mountain gate of Liudong Temple.
Then he lay down under a big tree and started to sleep. To be honest, he hadn't had any rest in the past few days.
But for some reason, he suddenly felt a little tired in the afternoon. To be precise, he felt a little dazed.
The servant does not need to rest, but his state is very special. Since he is a little dazed, he should take a rest.
Some unknown changes occurred. Wrapped in the energy of the stars, there were two exquisite scabbards in Ren's body.
Among them, the fake scabbard emits a bright luster because it has the owner's demon sacrifice. On the contrary, the real Avalon's luster is a bit dim and looks plain and simple.
Without any warning, the real scabbard trembled slightly, and golden lines lit up on the surface, releasing a mysterious glow that enveloped the fake scabbard.
The next second, the two gorgeous scabbards approached each other, gradually overlapped, and finally seemed to merge together.
Buzz~
After an imperceptible tremor, the two scabbards slowly separated again. The light of the real scabbard gradually dimmed, and the magic just now seemed to be just a flash in the pan.
The pattern on the fake scabbard seems more realistic, and the level of the Noble Phantasm has quietly jumped to A++ level.
An invisible wave emitted from the fake scabbard, and through the connection between the noble phantom and its owner, it further resonated with Ren's spirit...
Ren fell into a deeper sleep, and a beautiful ocean of flowers appeared in his dream. It was a peaceful plain where flowers of all colors bloomed in unison.
Only the forest that can be seen vaguely in the distance blocks the view. Even if you look around the entire sky, you can only see the equally divided earth and the boundless blue sky.
It seems that because he is in a dream, Ren, who is not very conscious, is walking among the sea of flowers, as if he is going to the end of the sky.
The warm sunshine of spring and the vitality of summer fill the day.
The cool air of autumn and the starry sky of winter surround the night.
Wild flowers are blooming on the earth, the fragrance is fragrant, streams are flowing in the dense forest, and greenery is lingering... The paradise that human imagination strives to depict is nothing more than this.
On the lake in the distance, there seemed to be a group of beautiful fairies living together, but they turned into shadows in the blink of an eye.
"Is there anyone?"
Ren murmured, and then he woke up a little. Looking around at the charming scene that was like a fairyland on earth, he looked confused.
What the fuck?
He can understand dreams, and he can accept erotic dreams, but why does such a charming and beautiful scene appear?
It's like being in heaven.
Ah, what kind of paradise, I’m not dead yet,
Ren's consciousness began to gradually wake up, but he still felt inexplicable. He was surrounded by blooming flowers and there was no reference.
It seemed that he couldn't wake up for a while, so he had no choice but to walk in a certain direction. Not long after walking, a door formed by a pile of rough boulders suddenly appeared in front of him.
Just like Stonehenge, on the other side of the gate is a wilderness that is no different from before, but there seems to be a tower towering vaguely in front of it.
There is a line of words engraved on the door - only the sinless can pass.
This seems to be... Ren was suddenly excited and subconsciously blurted out: "Fairy Country, Avalon?!"
"Hey, do you actually know this place? But it's not accurate. Don't be nervous. This is just an illusion."
A dreamy and clear voice sounded in Ren's ears.
In the endless sea of flowers, some petals surged up, and a humanoid existence suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
A man, he was wearing a robe that looked very simple, but was woven with high-grade fibers. His pupils were like purple clouds, and he had long flowing hair the color of white rainbow.
Give flowers to the earth, dreams to mankind, and a future to history.
That is the characteristic of this man, and it is also his essence. His name is Merlin, the Magician of Flowers.
