Chapter 17: Guns and Swords (6)
The cold, clear and tense air was suddenly pierced by a thunderous sound. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Everyone inside and outside the battlefield was attracted by the sound, and they all looked up at the southeast sky, and the source of the sound was clear at a glance.
I saw a flying object cut a straight line in the sky, heading straight for this side, and also sprinkled purple lightning sparks in the night sky.
It's a chariot!
Judging by its appearance, it was an antique chariot with two noses. It was not a war horse that was tied to the wheels, but a burly and toned bull with muscles rolling like waves.
Ox hooves tread the void and pull the luxurious and magnificent chariot.
The chariot did not simply float in the air, its wheels roared, and the bull's hooves stepped on lightning instead of the earth.
Every time the hooves and chariots kicked the empty sky, purple lightning flashed its cobweb-shaped tentacles, curling the atmosphere upwards with a deafening sound. The magic of the lightning burst was probably comparable to the single blow that Lancer and Saber unleashed with all their might.
Only the Servant's Noble Phantasm can be so weird and unleash such a huge magical power. Needless to say, this must have been the third Servant who wanted to intervene in the duel between Saber and Lancer, so he appeared.
Saber and Lancer looked nervous and didn't say a word, staring at the sudden arrival of the chariot, and their masters were panicked by the presence of the intruder.
If it was a heroic spirit with such a huge amount of thunder and lightning energy wrapped around its body, it might be a half-body of Thor.
If it is the god of thunder related to the bull, the first thing that comes to mind is the supreme god of Olympus.
Of course, this chariot really can't be called a Heroic Spirit, but even if it is an appendage of a Heroic Spirit, it must be a treasure with great power.
The chariot with thunder and lightning in its feet circled violently over Lancer and Saber, slowing down and landing on the ground. It landed right between the two Heroic Spirits facing each other, blocking the blades and spears of the two men. At the same time as he landed on the ground, he put away the dazzling thunder, revealing the figure of a giant man, standing majestically on the bridge of the chariot.
For some reason, a classic sentence from his previous life came to Shinji's mind: "There was a loud bang in the sky, and Lao Tzu appeared brightly." ”
"Put away your weapons for me on both sides, in front of this king!"
The unhurried roar rivaled the thunder of his speeding appearance in the sky, and his fierce gaze seemed to force back the blades and spears that were facing each other.
Lancer and Saber are both well-known Heroic Spirits, so naturally they can't just scare them with two angry roars. However, this new Heroic Spirit does not appear in this form not to attack them, but only to disrupt their duel. The two of them did not understand his intention to do this, and they invariably chose to respond to the changes by not changing.
After first weakening the momentum of Lancer and Saber, the burly charioteer continued to say in a stern tone:
"The King's name is Iskandar, King of Conquest, and he has been introduced as Rider in this Holy Grail War. ”
Dumbfounded, all dumbfounded, whether it is a servant or a master.
On the battlefield of the Holy Grail, it is impossible for a servant to report his home, and his real name is the key to strategy.
But Rider did just that, upright, without hesitation, just like playing "Fight the Landlord" when "playing the "open card". The difference is that the stakes of the "landlord open card" are doubled, and the Holy Grail War "open card" has no benefit - those who will do this are either fools or real fearless.
"Even if Lao Tzu reports to his family, you can't do anything about me. Rider's subtext was this in the eyes of the calmed bystanders.
The most restless is the short boy who rides in the same chariot with Rider, the boy has short ear-length hair, his delicate face is genderless, and his trembling legs look a little cringe, like a prisoner captured by Rider with brute force, but the spell on the back of his left hand indicates his identity - one of the participants in the Holy Grail War, the master of Rider.
"What are you thinking, stupid!"
Rider's master resembles a hamster challenging a big cat, bluffing and questioning Rider while clinging to Rider's coat tightly.
It's a pity that the hamster's momentum was interrupted by a big cat's brain, and then fell silent.
Rider glanced at Lancer and Saber on the left and right and asked:
"The King knows that you are fighting each other for the Holy Grail, and I have one thing to ask before we fight. Would you like to join our army and give the Holy Grail to this king, so that I may consider you friends and share with you the joy of conquering the world. ”
This is an overly nonsensical proposition. Saber didn't even get angry and froze, and Lancer, who was across from him, didn't know what to say.
The conquering king Iskandar, even if you look at the entire history of the world, is the premier heroic spirit, the conquered land ranks second among all kings in the past, second only to Genghis Khan Temujin, above the "whip of God" Attila, and has the legend of laying the largest country in the shortest time.
At the age of thirty-three, he left behind a legend of endless conquest, and no one in human history was as eager to realize his ambition to conquer the world as he was.
Even so, so what?
Suddenly appearing, saying his real name in the open, and asking others to be respectful to him before he has even confronted others, all of the above actions make people feel that he has no intention of joining the Holy Grail War, this kind of thing is the first time he has encountered such a thing.
"Has the world ever been conquered by that kind of fool?" more than one person came up with such thoughts.
"It's not stupid, it's straightforward, I appreciate such people. That's Skaha's assessment.
"I admire your courage in reporting your home, but I forgive you for not being able to accept your proposal. ”
Lancer shook his head with a wry smile, but there was no smile in his eyes. The mighty eyes like a sharp sword collided head-on with the disdainful eyes of the King of Conquest, and sparks flew everywhere.
"I'll only offer the Holy Grail to my new monarch who swears loyalty to him today, and it's definitely not you, Rider. ”
"Anyway, are you here to interrupt my duel with Lancer just to say such frivolous things?"
Saber asked, following Lancer's words. The expression on her face was different from that of the beautiful Lancer, not even a smile. For her serious personality, Rider's proposal itself was extremely unpleasant.
"King of Conquest, you've gone too far. This was an intolerable insult to the knights. ”
Lancer and Saber cast hostile eyes on Rider together, Rider seemed to be embarrassed and muttered, while unconsciously digging his ears with his little finger, there was a helplessness in his unruly actions, but his majestic posture did not waver in the slightest, this emperor is such a heroic spirit who exudes an amazing presence all the time.
It took a long moment for Rider to drop his finger and reluctantly utter a sentence.
"The treatment is negotiable, isn't it?"
"Enough is enough!" Lancer and Saber refused in unison.
Rider's face was full of disappointment, and Saber was even more disappointed than he was.
"Again, I am also the king of Britain, and no king anywhere can bow down to him. ”
"Oh, the King of Britain?" Rider, perhaps interested in Saber's declaration, raised his eyebrows, "I was so surprised that the famous Knight King turned out to be a little girl." ”
"Then the King of Conquest, do you want to try the sword in the hand of such a little girl?"
Saber raised his sword as he lowered his voice. The left hand was still weak to hold the sword, and the four fingers of the left hand were just resting on the hilt, but the fighting spirit that shook from the blade of the sword was more solemn than when fighting Lancer.
"It seems that the negotiations have broken down, what a pity, what a pity. ”
Rider frowned, let out a long sigh, and for a moment muttered face down, he noticed the resentful look in his eyes that was looking up from under his feet.
"Ahh ”
Because of the pain of the swollen forehead, and more tragic than the pain, regret, the boy's cry swept low into the air.
"What are you going to do? Isn't it disgusting to keep saying about conquest in the end? Do you really think you can beat Saber and Lancer?"
The burly Servant laughed out loud in response to Master's question, without any guilt.
"No, isn't there such a saying, don't you try it. ”
"Isn't it your real name to try it?" the dizzy boy cried out as he struck the upright Rider's chest armor with two powerless fists.
Regardless of the content of the dialogue, just looking at the picture, it is easy to associate the scene of a girl losing her temper with a boy, no wonder so many people call the teenager "princess".
Because of the boy's actions, the tense air was inexplicably relaxed, but it was solidified again because of a complaint that was close to the ground.
"Yes, I see. I was still wondering who had stolen my relics for some reason, but I didn't expect it to be you who wanted to participate in the Holy Grail War, Webb Velwitt. ”
It's Lancer's Master. Previously, he had only spoken out twice, once urging Lancer to use the Noble Phantasm, once for Lancer's healing, and now for the third time, asking Rider's master, the purpose of Webb's arrival.
It was completely different from the tone just now, and this time the voice was mixed with incomparable anger and undisguised killing intent.
The inside story of it, Shinji is very clear.
Rider's Master Webber is a student of Lancer's Master Kenneth, but unlike Kenneth, who comes from a well-known family, Webb comes from the grassroots and has only three generations of the Wilditt family.
The grandmother of the first generation was just the mistress of a magician, and she only learned the initial magic when she whispered on the pillow, and the mother of the second generation only inherited magic at the level of consciousness of "cherishing the important memories of her mother", and it was Weber's generation who really seriously explored magic, so both the number of magic circuits and the quality of magic engraving were extremely poor, but Weber had a great longing for magic, and later after the death of his parents, he scattered his family property to raise enough funds for school, and entered the clock tower penniless.
A magician's magic circuit is largely determined by bloodline, and the strength of the magic mark passed down from generation to generation is generally proportional to the number of generations passed down - and Weber Wilwitt was so dissatisfied with the status quo that the magic world was the first in the lineage that he spent years writing his thesis. But his supervisor, Kenneth Armeroy, known as the "genius", tore up the thesis with just one glance.
This greatly damaged Webber's self-esteem and became the motivation for his participation in the Fourth Holy Grail War, and by chance, Webber stole the "Iskandar's Cloak Fragment", a heroic relic prepared by Kenneth, and went to Fuyuki City, summoning Rider.
Webb did not have a specific desire to participate in the Holy Grail War, but only wanted to be recognized for his exploits.
However, Weber did not expect that even after the "Holy Relic" was stolen, Kenneth, a magical nobleman, still got a new Holy Relic, summoned Lancer, and stood on the opposite side of Weber.
"It's a shame that I wanted to make this lovely student happy. Weber. A mortal like you should have a stable life that belongs only to mortals. ”
The caustic voice seemed to have magical power, which made Webber dizzy, and Webber, who was oppressed by the mentor's perennial power and dazzling aura, was out of breath.
"It seems that I should help you with a special extracurricular lesson on what it means for magicians to kill each other, and it is your pleasure to give you this horror and pain without reservation. ”
The murderous gaze made Weber, who was still in the ivory tower and had illusions about the future, realize the cruelty of the magician world for the first time.
Webb trembled with fear, and didn't even bother to pay attention to the humiliation that this sentence had brought him.
At this moment, something gently but forcefully wrapped its arms around the young man's shoulder, who was trembling alone with fear.
"Hey, magician, it looks like you're trying to replace this boy as my master, right? ”
Rider asks Lancer's Master who is hiding nowhere, and in fact he has a malicious smile of pity on his face, causing his face to smile crookedly.
"It's ridiculous if that's the case. The person who can become my lord must be a warrior who can gallop on the battlefield with this king, and a coward like you who doesn't even dare to show up is not qualified at all!"
Silence fell, and the atmosphere became very awkward for a moment, except for the anger of the unseen Master in the night's air. Of course, Shen Er's snickering is indispensable: "What a great emperor's strength to protect the concubine." ”
Rider burst out laughing, this time facing the empty night sky, laughing as loudly as he could.
"I said, there's someone else, right, someone who is watching us in the dark. ”
Both Saber and Lancer looked surprised.
"What's going on, Rider?"
Facing Saber, who asked him, the King of Conquest smiled and gave a thumbs up.
"Saber and Lancer, the unreserved battle between you is so exciting, and the Heroic Spirit who was attracted by the sound of such a clear sword and halberd is not the only one in this king. ”
Rider wanted to send the deafening sound to every corner around him, and he shouted loudly again.
"Poor! Poor heroes! Don't you feel anything when you see Saber and Lancer showing their grandeur here? It's cowardly to have a real name worthy of boasting, but only to peek in secret, your Heroic Soul is weeping!"
After a loud laugh, Rider tilted his head slightly, the corners of his mouth showed a fearless expression, and finally looked around with a defiant look.
"Heroic spirits who have been invited by the Holy Grail, gather here now. The cowards who are still afraid to show their faces at this moment will inevitably be humiliated by Iskander, the king of my conquests!"
"Offend the audience, taunt the full level. Shinji silently spit out.
"I'm sorry, Shinji. Skaha abruptly severed the empathy between the two, and neither as a king nor as a warrior could afford to watch any longer.
Shinji opened his eyes and smiled trustingly at Skaha, "No need to apologize, I didn't intend for you to fight the way the assassin did. Go, master, don't weaken the queen of the Shadow Country. ”
"As you wish, my little master. "Skaha's peerless elegance blends in with the night.
PS: However, the FEX Emperor lost to Attila, who made Attila a cute girl, a rough man has no human rights.
PS2: At this time, the Emperor can really destroy Saber and Lancer without pressure.
