Chapter 22: Sunset
Between each of the masters and servants involved in the Holy Grail Wars, there is something called the Command Spell that firmly binds the actions of both sides, which is a form that has gradually developed in the first few Holy Grail Wars - after all, as heroes of ancient times, not many are willing to be subservient to the weak.
However, the spell between Zhao Mian and Sakura is actually in name only, and only the last use of the identity of the two is left. This situation is mainly due to two reasons: first, when Zhao Mian responded to this girl at the beginning, he actually replaced all the magic of the Holy Grail and replaced it with an ability that had never appeared in this world- Holy light,This makes the dominant figure in the summoning ceremony at that time not Sakura.,It's not the Holy Grail that hasn't been seen yet.,But Zhao Mian who has paid a lot of energy.,So at that time,Sakura's power as a MASTER has been weakened;Second,The girl has just undergone a major operation.,In that operation,All the marking worms in her body were removed.,Some residual fragments and other objects were also completely cleaned up.,For Sakura,In the long run, it's naturally beneficial and harmless.,But the magicians in this world are using the so-called magic circuit in their bodies to create magic. , and then unleash those magic tricks - Sakura's body has been undergoing transformation since she was a child, which has made her original body full of holes, and the magic circuit is naturally the most important thing - that thing basically has no part of it that can be connected. Naturally, the damaged body that was gnawed away is slowly recovering, but unfortunately Azeroth doesn't have any magic circuits, and it can only be slowly recovered by Sakura's own body. Sakura, who has no magical powers, naturally can't use any magic or similar abilities - including manipulation spells.
THE MOST BASIC PURPOSE OF THE SPELL BETWEEN THE OTHER MASTERS AND SLAVES IS TO MAKE CONTACT, ARCHER AND RIN TOSAKA ARE A GOOD PAIR OF REPRESENTATIVES, THE RED-DRESSED AND WHITE-HAIRED ARCHER ALWAYS DOESN'T KNOW WHERE A PERSON HAS RUN AWAY MANY TIMES, AND IF TOSAKA-SAMA IS DISSATISFIED WITH THE BLACK TEA MADE BY EMIYA AT THIS TIME, OUR ARCHER CLASSMATES WILL SOON EMERGE FROM A CORNER OF THE ROOM WITH A POT OF FRESHLY BREWED BLACK TEA IN THEIR HANDS.
Of course, please don't care about this example, the reason why I explain this is only because Zhao Mian was staggering back to the Wei Gong Mansion, but he didn't find the noisy picture he imagined: Miss Fujimura, who has always been very energetic in the past two days, has now been well placed aside, she seems to have been fainted by some kind of spell, and Zhao Mian can feel the magic that still remains in her body. And the room was quiet, and the three masters were all sitting next to the low table with sad faces-it seemed that during the time when Zhao Mian was out, something unexpected must have happened in the Wei Gong Mansion.
"SO WHAT ABOUT THE THREE OF YOU, SSABER AND ARCHER?" ZHAO MIAN LOOKED AT THE THREE PEOPLE WHO LOOKED AT HIM IN AMAZEMENT, AND ASKED WITH A FROWN, "AND WHAT HAPPENED TO MISS FUJIMURA, I CAN FEEL THAT SHE SEEMS TO BE ATTACKED BY SOMEONE USING MAGIC OR SOMETHING, AND THE REMAINING MAGIC POWER IS STILL EMANATING." ”
"Well, that's good news, the worst didn't happen. Without answering Zhao Mian's question, Rin Tosaka turned his side back again, patted the head of the very decadent-looking husky who he didn't know where he got it, and said in a tone that seemed to be relieved.
"It's okay, you're okay. Sakura was really relieved, she motioned for Zhao Mian to sit down, and then whispered, "Just now, a woman in a purple cloak kidnapped Fujimura-sensei, and then took out a dagger and stabbed SABER ...... when the senior went to help Fujimura-sensei who she suddenly threw down."
"It's all my fault. As if blaming himself, Wei Gong over there whispered, he lowered his head, his fists clenched tightly, and a trace of blood dripped down his fingers on the floor of the room, "If it weren't for my ......"
"I can't blame you!, fool!" As if swearing, or self-deprecating, Miss Tosaka retorted with a frown, "We have been a little careless these days, we all think that there are already three servants and three masters in this room, and after arranging such a large and solid barrier, no enemy should choose to attack here, so we all let our guard down a little, and as a result, the enemy has taken advantage of the loophole today!" I don't know who the last fool is talking about, or if it's everyone in the room.
"Can anyone tell me more about what happened? After waiting for a while, after Rin Tosaka said something as if venting, Zhao Mian suddenly found that Sakura, who was about to explain what happened, also pursed his lips tightly, gave up the next words, and asked a little helplessly.
The room was silent - if you ignore the husky who didn't know where he got it, he called from time to time after Rin Tosaka spoke.
Emiya gritted her teeth and thought about something, Rin Tosaka was frowning and soothing the husky, and Sakura seemed to be a little unable to stand the heavy atmosphere here, so she went to the side to prepare tea. Zhao Mian sighed a little helplessly, and when he was about to speak again, Rin Tosaka raised his head and looked at Zhao Mian and said, "Let me explain." ”
Concise and to the point, the school's grades are very good in any subject, and Rin Tosaka used concise language to explain the whole thing in detail. Here's the thing: while Zhao Mian was wandering the streets alone, the three MASTERS who had been out of school for a long time took ARCHER back to the Weigong Mansion. THEY WERE JUST LIKE USUAL, EMIYA RAN TO THE WAREHOUSE TO FIX THE MESSY MACHINES, RIN TOSAKA WAS DOING SOME DAILY MAGIC EXERCISES, SAKURA WAS PREPARING ENOUGH FOOD FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY TO EAT, SABER WAS SITTING IN THE LIVING ROOM, AND ARCHER DIDN'T KNOW WHERE HE WAS HIDING ALONE. This should have been a very normal scene - except for Fujimura, who didn't arrive because he hadn't arrived yet, and Zhao Mian, who was still walking slowly on the way back because he ran too far, this was a normal situation.
But there was something that wasn't normal. Fujimura was kidnapped on the way to Emiya's house, and the prisoner was Caster, which was inferred by Zhao Mian after listening to Tosaka's explanation of the other party's appearance. As an ordinary person, although she is always full of action and spirit, Fujimura Taiga is still just an ordinary modern person, and she does not know about the things that are hidden within the world - and has no ability to resist. CASTER UNLEASHES A VERY CLEVER SPELL OF CHARM - WHICH WAS LATER TESTED BY TOSAKA - AND SHE SECRETLY CONTROLS FUJIMURA AND KNOCKS ON THE DOOR OF EMIYA'S HOUSE, BECAUSE "SHIROU, OPEN THE DOOR, I DON'T HAVE THE KEY!"
NO ONE SENSED THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG, AND EMIYA TOOK SABER AND THE TWO TO OPEN THE DOOR - WE CAN EASILY GUESS WHAT HAPPENED NEXT.
"WHEN SAKURA AND I RUSHED OVER, WE WERE ONLY ABLE TO SAVE EMIYA AND FUJIMURA-SENSEI FROM SABER WHO WAS STILL RESISTING CASTER'S COMMAND - THEY WERE ALERT AND DISAPPEARED INTO THIN AIR WITH SABER AS SOON AS THEY SAW US. Rin Tosaka sighed, and said inmoruly, "The other party should be Medea, the great magician of the gods, who betrayed the witch Medea, and that dagger is her treasure, which can break the talisman of ten thousand laws." In this Holy Grail War, there are already two known ones of the God Dynasty alone?"
"Well, I have one more question. Zhao Mian ignored the last complaint, pondered for a moment, and asked, "You just said that you and Sakura rushed over, so what was ARCHER doing at that time? As an archer with clairvoyance, shouldn't he be the first to notice that something was wrong?"
"ARCHER......" The expression on Tosaka's face suddenly stiffened, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and then she suddenly smashed herself on the low table as if she had given up on herself, and patted the husky lying next to her with her left hand, "I searched the whole house but didn't find him, and finally I finally found him in the corner of the atrium after sharing his vision, and he fell off the roof." As he spoke, Rin Tosaka pushed the husky the low table, "If you want to ask where he is, this is it!"
