Chapter 117: Signal
The weather in Fuyuki City this night was very abnormal, and it was unprecedented. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The north wind, which had lasted for several days, came to an abrupt halt as if it had never happened.
At night, instead of dropping, the temperature rises in a straight line, the snow melts, and the humidity of the air rises, causing a mirage that should never have occurred during this season.
This kind of hot and humid weather is confined to a very small area centered on Fuyuki City, and even the weather announcer cannot explain the reason, which makes the strange premonition that the citizens already feel stronger and stronger.
Several incidents of urban guerrilla warfare, as well as tragic murders of wives and children, and the disappearance of young children are still shrouded in fog and have no clues. In the absence of any time when martial law will be lifted at night, and in addition to the industrial wastewater disaster that occurred in Fuengawa the day before yesterday, people have been nervous and physically exhausted by the strange events of the past few days, and even the abnormal weather feels like a harbinger of greater calamity.
Only those who have experienced war know that it is a sign of the coming of a great war, the final calm.
Saber silently drove the Mercedes-Benz that had been reserved for Alice Phil, and Kiritsugu sat in the passenger seat without saying a word, smoking cigarette after cigarette.
Saber didn't like the smell of smoke, but she didn't stop Kiritsugu, because she knew that her lord was using this to ease her anxiety, forcing herself to stay calm and think about her next step.
Now that Alice Phil and Maiya Kuyu have fallen into the hands of the enemy, Saber can only hope that his master will come up with a good solution.
......
Tosaka Tokitomi opened the treasure chest that had been passed down from generation to generation of the Tosaka family, which was the "magic box" made by the teacher who bestowed the Tosaka family with gem magic, and the highest magician who is still active today, and the second magician Zelrich. On the outside, it looks like a box with nothing special, but in fact, the interior is inflicted with the "second magic" of spatial folding, and the volume far exceeds the volume. There is also a discrepancy in the flow of time inside and outside the box, and an hour inside is equivalent to a day outside, so it was used as a safe by the Tosaka family to store the most precious magic costumes and magic books, and the magic costumes prepared by Toshitomi for today are also stored here.
It is also a magic wand from the great master Zelrich, and the top is inlaid with the now-extinct magic gem, which can greatly increase the effect of gem magic.
The gemstone pendants and gemstone rings made by Shi Chen himself store the magic that Shi Chen has accumulated since childhood.
There are eighteen magic bullet gems, each of which is a high-grade magic gem, which seals the A-level magic trick and belongs to a one-time limited magic dress.
The rest of the magic gems are more than 20 and sealed with different levels of magic.
The suit, which is specially made to cooperate with the gem magic, not only incorporates a certain degree of physical and magical defense, but also sets up hidden pockets to store gems in various parts of the body, so that Shichen can use gems in various situations.
Leather shoes that reduce gravity are attached, and it can move at high speeds beyond the limits of humans in case of emergency.
After putting on these equipment one by one, Shi Chen finally tidied up his appearance in front of the dressing mirror to ensure that he would not insult the name of the Tosaka family.
Gilgamesh sat in the seat belonging to the Shichen, holding a goblet and drinking alone. Although he has some dissatisfaction with Shi Chen, he admires Shi Chen's seriousness and commitment to his duty - at least he is a qualified bastard, and this king will respond to his request, as a king.
......
It's really just a coincidence that Webber and Rider weren't there when Kiritsugu and Saber blocked the door.
Rider used the trump card "King's Army" for two nights, and did not draw additional mana from Weber, such chaotic behavior caused a great burden on his magic and spirit base, so that as soon as the battle ended, Rider entered the spirit body, and did not maintain the entity as usual.
Although Rider didn't say anything, the attentive Webber still saw Rider's weakness and led him to a patchy forest somewhere in the corner of Winterwood City, where Webb summoned Rider, and Rider would recover faster here than anywhere else.
A few days ago, Webb seized the future here.
Now, Webb hears Rider's heart here.
The great king of conquest reflects on his dreams, doubts about the Holy Grail, cares for Weber, and is determined to bring down Archer and Saber - the former is a covenant of kings, and the latter is a sincere desire to change that sad belief and want Saber to join his army and shine on the battlefield.
When Rider was back to being able to use the King's Army again, Webb returned to Old Man Mackenzie's house, a small old wooden house that made him more and more reluctant to leave, because it had the warmth of home that the magic world did not have.
To Webber's surprise, the old man Mackenzie actually knew the fact that Weber was not their grandson, and his hint magic had long been cracked, by an ordinary old man who had nothing to do with magic at all.
The old man said to Weber, "Who are you?" It doesn't matter who you are, though. Although I really don't understand why Martha and I treat you like a grandson. But we have all lived for so long, and the strange things in the world will only be regarded as incredible things, and will not be investigated...... All in all, in the case of our grandson, you usually behave too kindly. β
Webb asked the old man, "Aren't you angry?"
The old man shook his head: "Well, although it stands to reason that I should be angry...... But Martha was really smiling happily this time, which was something that was unimaginable before. For that matter, I'm grateful to you. And it doesn't look like you're here to do anything bad to us. You and that man named Alex are both upright young men who are rare these days. What exactly are you doing this for, I guess it's hard for us to understand. β
By Webb's standards, the old man is too guarded and sluggish. In the academy of the Clock Tower, even the white rats used for experiments are more clever.
Weber didn't understand why the old man didn't hate him or reproach him. Weber only understood the workings of the small world of the clock tower, and for him, the old man's tolerance was completely beyond his comprehension.
"I don't understand your business, I don't know if I can ask you like this...... If so, can we continue like this for a while? Leaving me alone, Martha doesn't seem to notice it for a while. We don't know if it's a dream or what, but for us, it's a treasure of all kindness, a treasure to spend with our kind grandson. β
Webb's heart was filled with sorrow, and he looked down at his hands.
He was convinced that these hands would one day achieve the mystical truth, and that he would have the ability to do so, even if he was denied by the world, at least as long as he did not give up on himself......
That's the possibility of sticking to the belief for a long time.
But what about the result.
Even hypnotic suggestion is not a success, even if it is unlucky or accidental. His magic can't even sustain the normal effect of a good old man who asks to continue to deceive him.
A trivial matter of this magnitude, if it were a man, he would only have to take the initiative to come to the door and drink a few glasses of wine with a smile.
Webb Wilwitt's magic is not even to that extent, and he is still sympathetic.
Webb was so remorseful that he even found it a little funny, and he thought he was a clown.
He never realized what was in front of him, only looked at something that didn't exist, and used his favorite self-portrait as a mirror. Now he could understand what was going on in the minds of those who had previously laughed at him in the clock tower, and Webb himself wanted to join them in mocking his stupidity.
However, now he can't laugh. GΓΌlen McKenzie and Martha were not expecting a comedy, they had come to Webber for a reason they could. Come to think of it, this may be the first time that someone has asked him to play another role other than being the object of ridicule.
ββ¦β¦ I'm sorry, I can't say yes. Because I can't guarantee that I will be able to return here safely. β
"So, are you doing something that is life-threatening?"
"That's right. "After a battle between the Servants, Webb was deeply aware of the fragility of human beings.
Old Man Gulan did not speak, and was silent thoughtfully for a moment, then nodded heavily.
"I don't know how important that kind of thing is to you, but I hope you will listen to me, man, after living a lifetime, looking back on this life, in the end there is still nothing that can compare with life. β
This admonition is the exact opposite of Weber's youth-wasting truth.
The so-called demonic path begins with the acceptance of death - to the realm that can only be reached by burning one's own life. Before today, that should have been his code of belief.
But if you are looking for a lifestyle that suits you, the words of this kind old man may be the truth.
With an indescribable sense of loss in his heart, Webb stared at the bright starry sky.
Suddenly, he felt a slight but clear shock.
It was a similar signal to the Templar Church when they called the Master.
PS: Equipment is sometimes more important than the strength of the magician himself, Director Ken showed not all his strength to Kiritsugu, a large number of high-quality dresses he carried were blown up by Kiritsu, and only the "Moon Spirit Liquid" he carried with him was left, and Shi Chen was fully equipped to fight.
Ps2: Iskander: Saber, me.
Saber: First of all, ask my Knights of the Round Table if they say yes.
Round Table Light Artillery Regiment: Why don't you say another thing?
The Emperor's Friends led by Hephaestine, Ptolemy, Seleucus, etc.: Try it. (The Emperor has a few Heroic Spirits under his command who can fight better than him.) οΌ
Merlin planted flowers in the Court of Avalon and watched the play: oh oh oh, the fight started, the fight started.
PS3: The Knights of the Round Table really can't beat the Emperor's Friends, because there are many people on the Emperor's side, and there are only more than a hundred people at the Round Table, which contains many knights who are not as meritorious as Xiaobei to become Heroic Spirits, and the number of Heroic Spirits under the command of the Emperor is definitely more than five figures.
