On the top of Enzang Mountain.
Liudong Temple stands silently.
Xia Zhi completed the kidnapping plan perfectly. Taking advantage of the swordsman girl's slight negligence, she suddenly appeared and kidnapped Shirou Emiya, and easily brought him back to his home base.
At this moment, in a corner of the temple courtyard, a figure with two ponytails in red clothes and black hair was crossing his arms with a cold face, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.
"..."
"..."
Quiet, silent, and dead atmosphere spread silently in the air.
It wasn't until after a while that the girl finally spoke and broke the silence.
"Emiya, it's been a long time no see..."
Rin Tosaka said hello with a sullen face and an unkind look on her face. Her eyes were like sharp knives, slashing back and forth on the red-haired boy.
"I didn't expect you to participate in this Holy Grail War and summon Saber, right..."
"..."
"..."
"Tohsaka..."
Shirou Emiya was at a loss for words for a moment. He glanced around subconsciously and saw that the heroic spirit who had just kidnapped him had quietly retreated into the depths of darkness. In front of the simple and solemn temple gate, there was a heroic spirit in ancient costumes waiting. .
In the front, Tohsaka stood proudly, with her arms crossed on her chest, looking at herself with a cold expression. Behind her, there was a female heroic spirit wearing a dark purple robe, standing quietly without making a sound.
Such a gorgeous and powerful lineup is undoubtedly staggering.
There are at least three heroic spirits hidden in this Liudong Temple!
You have to know how many heroic spirits participated in the entire Holy Grail War, but it was only seven.
This undoubtedly shows that the real magic family has a profound background, which is in sharp contrast to myself, an ignorant beginner. Before I could understand the situation, the other party had quietly controlled almost half of the Holy Grail War.
Based on the basic pattern revealed by this glance, Emiya Shirou immediately and wisely gave up the idea of looking for an opportunity to escape. Faced with such a dangerous situation, even if he had two more legs, he might not be able to escape the fate of being unable to fly.
It was indeed a wise choice not to come over for the appointment before.
Now he can only hope that Saber will be more sensible, be fully prepared to rescue him, and not act recklessly and come alone to take risks.
——This is obviously a trap.
"Why aren't you talking?" Tohsaka Rin narrowed his eyes slightly, taking in the awkward expression of the classmate opposite him. This guy is really a rookie. He might have been involved without knowing anything at all. during this war.
"..." Emiya Shirou looked struggling. Facing this classmate with whom he was not very familiar, he couldn't find a suitable attitude for a moment. After all, he was really unfamiliar with Tohsaka Rin, and he hadn't had much contact with her before.
The two sides probably only have a superficial relationship of "classmates".
With such a shallow relationship, in this Holy Grail War, which is always life-and-death, it probably doesn't deserve Tohsaka to show mercy to him, right?
Emiya Shirou took a deep breath, forced himself to think calmly, and then began his explanation with a solemn expression: "Tohsaka, actually I never thought about becoming your enemy. It was a complete accident to get involved in this war. I didn’t know this at all before…”
He has no strong and persistent pursuit of the Holy Grail War, and his involvement in it is still shallow.
There is no wish that must be realized, and there is no goal that must be pursued through the Holy Grail, so naturally there is no determination to go through fire and water.
"totally no idea?"
The black-haired girl with twin ponytails had an expressionless face.
"I really don't know, and no one has told me that there is such a thing. If Saber hadn't been summoned out of nowhere, I wouldn't have known that the war had started..."
Emiya Shirou tried his best to lower Tohsaka-san's level of vigilance and hostility through frank words. Although strictly speaking, he was telling the truth. That was the truth and there was no hidden secret.
Emiya Kiritsugu probably thought that he had personally put an end to the Holy Grail War, so he did not leave much information to his adopted son in this regard.
After all, according to the man's prediction, the "tumor" he created would cause the collapse of Mount Enzo in thirty or forty years. Combined with the calculation that Fuyuki City's Holy Grail system restarts every sixty years, Emiya Shirou's life trajectory should be completely insulated from the Holy Grail War.
In theory, everything should have gone this way.
However, things are unpredictable, and the gears of fate have quietly and subtly shifted.
"Saber was summoned out of nowhere?" After hearing Shirou Emiya's explanation, Tohsaka Rin's expression suddenly became more gloomy.
However, Emiya Shirou's observation skills are a bit low-level, or should be said that he has strong observation but low understanding, and is slow to respond to kindness and hostility, so he nodded straightforwardly and continued to say indifferently:
"Yeah, I don't know why, but I just went to the warehouse to pack things that night and summoned Saber directly..."
"..."
"..."
The girl with black hair and twin tails lowered her head, her expression obscured by the shadow under her bangs. She lowered her arms and silently clenched her fists.
On the opposite side, Emiya Shirou swallowed hard. He also noticed something was wrong. This was a little different from what he expected. Shouldn't Tohsaka's expression have softened?
He thought he had spoken out and stated that he had no intention of truly competing for the Holy Grail, nor did he intend to be an enemy of the other party...
He didn't have much enthusiasm for this war. Not only did he know nothing about it beforehand, but he also made no preparation at all. He simply summoned Saber "casually" and "without warning"...
——Isn’t this all very clear?
——There should be room for negotiation, right?
"Do it!"
The next moment, Tohsaka Rin finally raised his head and waved his hand coldly.
Her eyes burned with a kind of disgust and indignation originating from the depths of her soul, just like Africans who have resolutely awakened after experiencing suffering and blows, and clearly understood what class struggle is and what class enemies are!
Sure enough, there should be no moral ethics with this kind of European emperor.
Just listening to the other party talk makes me angry to death!
Thinking about his shocking financial deficit and the stone he had saved for ten years, Tohsaka Rin's heart was bleeding. When he said "do it", he also had some personal emotions. smell.
"Hey! Wait, I'm here to discuss what you want to do..."
Shirou Emiya was so frightened that he subconsciously wanted to run away, but then his body was forcibly fixed by some kind of magic. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not move. He could only watch the female heroic spirit approaching step by step.
Medea finally took out a magic knife with an extremely weird and twisted shape. The ominous magic power on it made the red-haired boy tremble with fear.
There was no suspense, and there were no passionate dramas such as breaking out in battle or awakening from a desperate situation. The witch lady walked directly in front of Emiya Shirou, raised the knife in her hand, and inserted the twisted magic dagger into his chest.
"...!!"
————
————
"...!!"
Her blond hair was fluttering in the night wind, and she was holding an invisible holy sword. The swordsman girl had just broken through the entanglement of the Dragon Tooth Soldiers on the mountain road and was about to rush up in one go.
At this moment, her pupils shrank suddenly, and her whole body froze in place as if struck by thunder.
After a while, the girl seemed to come back to her senses. She raised her palms and looked at it in disbelief, biting her lower lip tightly, as if she could not accept something that had just happened, but she had to believe it. .
Just like the Dragon Tooth Soldiers that once flocked to her in a steady stream, they have quietly fallen silent and are no longer making any sound.
She even noticed that in the quiet woods around her, a Dragon Tooth Soldier took a few steps and then staggered back into the depths of the forest... The magic position that had been hostile just now now directly judged her as one of its own, belonging to Friendly units.
The swordsman girl's heart sank to the bottom, and her whole body trembled with anger like a strong wind. She clenched the hilt of the sword tightly, and walked forward like a lead with every step. She walked the last mountain road with great difficulty, and finally saw that A mountain gate stands in front of you.
Holding a five-foot-long monogan pole, the heroic spirit named "Sasaki Kojiro" was sitting alone in front of the mountain gate of Ryudou Temple, holding a cup of hot tea, and did not stop her.
"..."
"..."
At this moment, the swordsman girl had an urge to die together, or to make a big fuss, and would rather be broken into pieces than destroyed.
Unfortunately, she couldn't do this.
Moreover, the scene inside the mountain gate was unobstructed. Her former master was being held hostage. He was not seriously harmed, but he was unable to move or even speak, as if he was waiting for her rescue.
"You should understand what happened, Saber, and it would be wise to join us. As a sign of sincerity, we will promise not to harm your former Master..."
When the swordsman girl appeared in front of the mountain gate, a confident smile flashed in Medea's eyes. The magic dagger she just used is actually her Noble Phantasm. Its performance as a weapon is equivalent to nothing, so it will not cause substantial damage.
However, in terms of the nature of magic, it can break all laws——
Whether it is an object enhanced by magic, a contract based on magic, or a life form born using magic, they can be reset to the state before the magic was used.
It can be said to be the ultimate anti-magic treasure.
It was with the help of this Noble Phantasm that Medea cut off the heroic spirit contract between Saber and Shirou Emiya in a direct and efficient way, and directly made her her own by relying on her almost superb magic skills.
"mean……"
The voice that should have been clear and clear was now trembling.
Self-blame and humiliation tore her heart apart. The swordsman girl couldn't help but think of the last Holy Grail War. At that time, she failed to protect Irisviel, which resulted in her being kidnapped and then brutally killed. She was never seen for the last time. arrive.
And now, she also failed to protect the Master this time...
"How can this be called despicable?" Tohsaka Rin retorted calmly from the side, "The essence of the Holy Grail War is a fight of life and death. If it were another opponent, with such an advantage, I am afraid that he would use a more ruthless and ruthless method. I'll deal with you in a different way. In comparison, my methods can be considered mild."
This was what Xia Zhi had said before when he persuaded her to take action. After hearing this, she felt that it made sense.
After all, this is not a distortion of the facts. Judging from the facts, this is indeed the case. Compared with those who ruthlessly and ruthlessly eliminated other contestants, Tohsaka Rin felt that the methods she adopted were much milder.
Imagine if it were someone else, in such a situation, Shirou Emiya would probably understand what true cruelty is.
Although Saber was indignant about this, she had to agree with the other party's statement. She stared at the girl with twin tails, took a deep breath, looked at Shirou Emiya who could not move, and was unable to let go:
"I will join you, but you must promise not to harm my previous master..."
"Don't worry, we are not spending so much effort to get a Servant who is alienated from us." Tohsaka Rin said in a very determined tone. This was originally her idea, and it would be best to use this to win over Saber. .
Although the heroic spirit contract itself comes with some kind of mandatory constraints, if the heroic spirit always has a strong sense of rebellion, the binding force of the contract is not safe enough.
She couldn't use all her precious Command Seals to suppress Saber, right? Would that enhance her own combat effectiveness, or would it hinder the team's performance?
"Congratulations Master..."
Seeing that both parties had basically reached an agreement, Medea also chuckled, with a hint of strange excitement in her eyes.
After bringing back the information about Saber from Assassin, she had already been vaguely interested. Otherwise, she would not have volunteered to help the Master take away Emiya Shirou's servants.
It can only be said that Saber's image and temperament inspired some special interest in Medea. She was attracted by Saber's figure and was so greedy that she even wanted to control Saber to realize some strange desires of her own.
Hmm...but these are probably paid plots.
It was not appropriate to discuss it at this time, so the witch girl suppressed her thoughts for the time being.
Emiya Shirou regained mobility, but felt empty in his heart. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. He could only lament that his Holy Grail War was really short-lived, as if he had received an experience ticket. look.
"Welcome to the team, Saber...can you tell me your real name?"
In the villain scenes just now, Xia Zhi tried to downplay her presence as much as possible, and it was only now that she reappeared.
He showed a decent and upright smile and took the lead in welcoming his new colleagues. At the same time, he took the opportunity to ask questions that he was more concerned about, intentionally or unintentionally.
Saber had no idea about this. He just thought that as a comrade, the other party wanted to know his identity so that he could cooperate in future joint operations. She glanced at the young man in front of her and pursed her lips. She didn't have much dislike for him.
After all, in her opinion, the other party was just following orders.
In addition, Medea and Tohsaka Rin were undoubtedly the main characters in the scene of coercion and temptation just now, and they undoubtedly attracted more emotions from her.
With such a comparison, the image of the Assassin in front of me is naturally better.
"My real name is Artoria Pendragon...a knight from ancient Britain." She spoke in a low voice, revealing her identity.
Not Vivian...
It's not like a different time and space body...
Xia Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly felt a little disappointed. After all, his original guess was mainly in this direction, so he was so concerned about it.
"Wait! King Arthur? You said you are King Arthur?!" Tohsaka Rin rushed up from behind with a look of disbelief on his face, looking at Saber with an extremely strange look, "It's incredible, the legendary King Arthur is actually a girl?"
King Arthur…
The legendary King Arthur...the enchantress Morgan...
The young man's expression suddenly became a little strange, and some clues connected together like lightning.
Could it be... Vivian is Morgan? But related to the legend of King Arthur, shouldn’t the name Vivian be more likely to refer to the character of the Fairy in the Lake?
"Enemy attack!!"
At this moment, Medea sounded a warning as if she was facing a powerful enemy.
At the same time, a shining light appeared in the sky, and behind the layers of dark clouds, a seemingly ancient and advanced... spaceship appeared slowly.
The huge hull rolled with huge magic power, and slowly descended above Ryudong Temple with a terrifying sense of pressure. The ancient nuclear warhead loaded on the hull was aimed at the magic position below, as if it was about to use the power of the Noble Phantasm at any time. Form, launch a nuclear attack on Fuyuki City...
Gas explosion warning!
