In his spiritual form, Xia Zhi galloped back at lightning speed. As soon as he appeared, he saw the messy scene at the gate of Liudong Temple.
However, the attacking enemies had quietly retreated, and it seemed that they had not really shaken the defense line of Liudong Temple. Presumably, they had not caused any casualties, which was good news.
This made him relieved. After all, what he was most worried about was this kind of thing. He just went out for a little while, but even the base camp was taken over by the enemy... Fortunately, it didn't come to the worst.
As a Caster class that specializes in building positions, Medea is still very powerful in defensive battles.
"Hello……"
Paying tribute to the ancient swordsman standing outside the mountain gate, wearing a purple kimono with straw sandals, a long dark blue ponytail casually combed behind his head, holding a branch in his mouth, arms folded in front of his chest, Xia Zhi quickly stepped into the willow. Inside the cave temple.
Although he didn't know this strange colleague very well, he vaguely knew where he was coming from.
After all, just when she left the house, Medea had said that she was preparing to summon in violation of regulations - according to the rules of the Holy Grail War, only magicians can summon servants, but the Caster class is strictly speaking a magician.
Presumably this ancient swordsman was the product of the illegal summons of the Greek witch.
But now was not the time to delve into this, so Xia Zhi didn't waste time chatting with the other party and went straight to Liudong Temple.
The temple courtyard has maintained its original appearance as always, and has obviously not been disturbed by the outside world. This is enough to prove that the invading enemies did only inflict abuse on the outer mountain gate. At this moment, a female magician wearing a dark purple robe was standing quietly in the courtyard.
"Is there anything wrong with Master?"
Xia Zhi spoke concisely and to the point, and the first question he asked was about Tohsaka Rin.
After all, the Master is the lifeblood of the Servant. Once the Master is killed, the Servant, no matter how strong it is, will not be able to maintain its own existence... Especially in his situation, he really doesn't want to guess what the consequences of such an abnormal exit will be.
"It's over there. After defeating the enemy, go back to the room...it will be fine, don't worry."
Medea glanced lightly, waving her finger gracefully, pointing in a certain direction to the side.
Xia Zhi looked in the direction pointed by her slender fingertips, and saw the light in the room over there, revealing the figure of a girl with twin tails. He couldn't help but frown slightly, because he didn't see anything like this when he just came in. light and shadow.
"This Liudong Temple has become my workshop. As I gradually deepen the construction of the position, many things - even things approaching magic, will become possible in this courtyard." The witch from Greece said slowly.
Although it has not reached that situation yet, after all, this magic position was just occupied at noon today, and there has not yet been time to carry out comprehensive construction and in-depth consolidation. However, with her skills and abilities, she has been able to achieve many extraordinary things here.
For example, like the current situation, it is not difficult for her to distort the image and position of the Master's location, and it can be regarded as providing a kind of safety guarantee.
"...awesome."
Xia Zhi thought about it carefully and quickly accepted this explanation.
After all, strictly speaking, similar lessons had been learned in school before. The tall heroic spirit who used a chain dagger and wore an eyepatch gave him a good lesson. Before he suddenly got angry, even he Didn't notice where the other person was.
It can only be said that in a space similar to a barrier or a domain, the party as the controller undoubtedly occupies the home field advantage. This is a proper warning to Xia Zhi, making him understand that he cannot rely entirely on his own magic perception.
"Who is the enemy?"
"..."
"..."
"It's Hercules..." Medea's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of heaviness in her words.
"This great hero actually responded to the call with the rank of Berserker. He is probably the strongest heroic spirit in this Holy Grail War. If his master hadn't been unwilling to charge hard, my position wouldn't have been able to stop him. "
She was very familiar with that violent figure. They were both characters in Greek mythology, and they had inevitably interacted with each other because of Jason. It was obviously impossible for her to say that she didn't know Hercules. matter.
Hercules? Berserker?
Is that the origin of that berserker giant?
Xia Zhi reacted quickly and knew who the enemy group that had just come to attack Liudong Temple was, and he was a little surprised. He really never thought that the crazy muscular monster would be the famous Hercules.
The shadow of a person's famous tree, this name is no longer ordinary.
After all, as we all know, there are only two kinds of heroes in Greek mythology, one is Heracles and the other is others.
Looking back at the brief confrontation before, Xia Zhi's face became serious. She felt that it was fortunate that the great hero had gone crazy and his fighting skills were greatly reduced... Sure enough, his plan had to be implemented quickly. If he delayed it any longer, he would probably run out of time.
This is already the third day. According to the plan that the Holy Grail War will end in a week at most, it is already the halfway point of the preset cycle of the Holy Grail War...
Moreover, it may not be possible to fight for a week - who can say that this battle will not come to an abrupt end on the fourth or fifth day, or even earlier?
It's all possible!
It was like he had just met Hercules in the residential area, and then he came to Liudong Temple and launched an attack. Whether there was any coincidence in this, he didn't want to delve into it, because it was meaningless.
Fuyuki City is not too big, not too small. If multiple warrior-level combat forces are thrown into this battlefield, the probability of collision is still too high.
Shaking his head, he thought quickly and deliberately narrowed his eyes to reveal a trace of murderous intent: "If Liudong Temple really can't stop the opponent, can we have a backup plan... About the tumor on the mountain , is there any possibility of using it?"
"Huh?"
A trace of surprise flashed across Medea's eyes: "It's really unexpected. I thought you wouldn't consider using this trick."
After all, she subconsciously felt that this person should be a more upright type of servant.
Mainly because the two parties have less contact and the other party performs well.
"It won't affect others anyway. We have already sent away the residents of Yuanzang Mountain. Besides, even if we don't use this, it will eventually collapse, right?" the young man said calmly.
"That's right..."
The Greek witch thought for a moment and nodded. She didn't like to have her hands tied. Since there was such a crisis, and she happened to have such an advantage, it was natural to prepare an extra trump card to be prepared.
"If you really want to do this, I can provide you with some assistance... At present, I have no skills and can only ensure the safety of Liudong Temple. If I want to take care of other places, I am afraid it will take more time, but the enemy obviously will not Give us this opportunity."
"It's not impossible..."
Xia Zhi seemed to be thinking, and then nodded slowly. After all, he still had to do some superficial work, so as not to make Medea suspicious in the last step.
Fortunately, the other party was not a fairy in paradise like Vivian, who brought her own lie detector machine, and did not realize that her seemingly loyal colleague actually had evil intentions.
In just a few words, the matter was finalized and taken over.
As long as Medea can be successfully persuaded, it will be a matter of course to obtain the exact location of the "tumor" and her technical support. And Medea's busyness was also expected by him, after all, he had learned about her tight and flawless schedule and position building plan.
For Medea, the most urgent task at the moment is to concentrate on building a magic position in Liudong Temple. To this end, she has devoted almost all her efforts, and obviously has no intention of leaving this holy land.
It can be said that all these developments unfolded naturally like the script he had envisioned. Furthermore, since he bluntly stated that the purpose of the action was destruction, the next use of his tactics here seemed reasonable and there was no need for any pretense.
And at this moment, a word came from far away——
"What's going on, Assassin? Didn't that Emiya guy come over?"
Rin Tosaka opened the door to the room and walked out, a little listless. She had just gone back to count her gems again. In the end, she decided with some dejection that she had indeed remembered it wrong, but she still felt depressed.
Seeing Assassin talking to Caster in the yard, and looking like he was leaving empty-handed, the girl couldn't help but ask more questions even though she already knew the result.
"No, the other side is very alert..."
Xia Zhi looked at Miss Master's expression and had some guesses in her mind, but she pretended not to know anything about it.
He doesn't know anything about gems and he shouldn't know at all...
"Isn't it possible? Troublesome guy..." Tohsaka Rin forced herself to cheer up. She looked worried, "Has that guy figured out the situation? Does he really know what it means to fight alone?"
Although there was no actual contact, they were classmates in the same school after all, so she naturally knew Shirou Emiya.
Maybe he didn't know enough about other aspects, but as a magician, Tohsaka Rin could be sure that that guy was definitely unprofessional. He might not even know about the Holy Grail War, and he was just dragged along to make up the numbers.
Originally, she had thought that for Sakura's sake, she could form an alliance with the other party, firstly to enhance her side's strength, and secondly, to protect this ignorant guy in disguise.
Like now, knowing nothing, alone in this crisis-ridden Fuyuki City, I am afraid that I am not a walking experience bag in the eyes of other Servants.
"Master, maybe we can tie him up directly?"
The witch next to him spoke slowly and made a suggestion.
"Tie him here? No!"
Tohsaka Rin subconsciously denied, "That would be directly equivalent to hostility. Maybe we will kill each other first..."
Even if both sides are not harmed, he will probably have to pay a heavy price, and there is no way to hold back in a real fight. If someone doesn't pay attention, he may be stabbed by Shirou Emiya first.
"No, Master, as long as you can bring someone to me, I will be able to help you directly take over the ownership of that person's servant. In this way, it can be regarded as completing the set goal, right?"
Medea chuckled, her low voice sounding like she was persuading or bewitching: "Maybe it's a good thing for that person. He doesn't have this awareness and there's no need to participate in this war. What do you think?"
"Directly take away the owner's ownership?"
Miss Tohsaka was obviously stunned for a moment. Can such a thing be done? A magician from the Age of Gods is so powerful, why can't a modern magic contract bind her?
The eyes of the young man next to him also became strange. He thought about it seriously and felt that maybe he should re-examine his colleague's technical ability. The professional quality should not be said to be excellent, but should be very excellent.
It seems that no matter what I think, the other party can provide technical support.
This is very nice!
"But...but..." At this time, Miss Master still seemed to be a little worried and undecided.
"..."
"..."
"By the way, Master, there is one more thing I want to tell you -"
Xia Zhi thought for a while and decisively told the girl a piece of bombshell information: "The servant on the opposite side should be Saber."
He occupies the class of Assassin, Medea is the class of Caster, and the previous black giant should be the class of Berserker. Then there are not many classes left, which can be estimated through the elimination method.
That excellent panel must be unlikely to be that of Rider, and when he was forced into a desperate situation while fighting the giant, he did not reveal his trump cards such as riding objects.
Among the remaining three cavalry, Archer, as an archer, is strictly a long-range profession and requires powerful shooting weapons or special abilities related to shooting weapons.
Lancer is a spearman, and the qualifying hero is a hero whose main weapon is a long weapon, which doesn't seem to fit the bill.
Then only Saber's result is left, and besides...it doesn't matter even if the result is not, anyway, that's how he reasoned, and it's well-founded. The main point is to give the Master a little stimulation.
"W-what? His servant is Saber?!"
A completely predictable reaction, Tohsaka Rin looked shocked and unwilling to believe.
However, it is understandable that although my own failure is sad, the success of my classmates is even more heart-wrenching... Especially in this situation, Tohsaka Rin has worked hard to save stones for so long just to draw Saber.
As a result, she was under huge financial pressure and risked bankruptcy. In the end, she was unable to get the SSR out of the card pool...
The zero krypton seal next door who didn't know anything actually singled out Miracle?
Who can understand such pain? !
Although she was not distorted beyond recognition because of jealousy, the woman was obviously gritting her teeth: "Tie him up! I must tie up that guy for this lady!"
————
————
Even though we decided to implement the kidnapping plan, we still had to make some preparations.
Taking advantage of the night getting darker, Xia Zhi also carried the materials for Miss Witch's support and came to the location of the tumor on Enzang Mountain.
Collecting materials is very troublesome, but for the sake of back-up preparation, Medea generously shared some of the materials prepared today and provided careful guidance.
Anyway, it is easier to destroy than to build, let alone accelerate the progress of destruction on the work that others have already prepared.
From the witch's perspective, this matter is very simple and can be accomplished very easily.
But Xia Zhi didn't think so. He came to cause destruction, but he didn't come for pure destruction...
Following Medea's instructions, he accurately found the location of the "tumor", which was built at the intersection of several earth veins. It coincided with the terrain and was very secretive. If he were allowed to investigate and explore by himself, he might be Take months or even years.
In the magical field of vision, the flow of spiritual energy in the earth veins of Yuanzang Mountain can be seen almost at a glance, and even the large hole below filled with primitive magic seems to be faintly visible.
Subconsciously simulating it in his mind, Xia Zhi discovered to his surprise that he could use this joint node as the center of the formation to arrange a magic formation full of symbolic meaning, turning the entire mountain into a huge "alchemy furnace" between heaven and earth——
The Great Holy Grail inside is the natural golden elixir!
