Chapter 105: Siege Oara, Gathering Storms (2)
The place where the Lion and Mordred woke up was not in the catacombs of Fass, but in the rooms of a small remote hotel outside the city of Sighisoara. For the sake of prudence, they did not rent the room in their own name, but took the room rented by others by implication.
After receiving Shirou's summons, the lone duo temporarily retreated from their original hiding place of Toliface to the vicinity of Sighișoara.
As a necromancer who has been on the battlefield for many years, Lion's eye for war is unusually sharp - it doesn't take any further confirmation or wait and see to know that the Red Berserker is going to die.
Now that the opponent is outnumbered, Black cannot be given a chance to extend his advantage. Wait here until the two sides make any further moves. At least here, the other party does not occupy the geographical advantage, and Father Shirou is also nearby, so he can watch and help in case of danger - I don't know what Shirou and his party think about the lion robbery that has been transferred.
Scratching the itchy scar on his face, Lion Raid sat up from the couch, his face still bearing the effects of his dreams.
Mordred, who was playing with the wildcats, glanced at her matron and scoffed.
"Did you start having nightmares when you moved from that catacombs to this hotel? Necromancers are really troublesome. ”
To the girl's surprise, in the past, she would definitely sneer at her or explain the lion robbery indifferently, just looking at her silently. That inexplicable sad look made her feel uncomfortable.
"What are you doing, it's disgusting. ”
"No, it's okay, let's go eat. Avoiding Mordred's gaze, the lion got up and walked out.
Although Mordred was a little concerned, when he heard about the meal, he immediately put all doubts behind him - as the only child of King Arthur, although he did not have the right to inherit the throne, he inherited the king's extradimensional stomach bag, referred to as the king's stomach.
"Oh, eat, eat, what are you going to eat today?~"
Picking up the wildcat, Mordred hummed a song and followed behind the lion.
"What a simple guy. The lion shook his head and muttered quietly.
……
Casually found an open-air café, the lion robber looked listlessly through the newspaper, and Mordred devoured it with great interest, and the contrast was stark. When there is no fight, the two usually pass the time in such harmony that they almost write on their faces - "It's so boring, I want to make trouble." ”
Perhaps God heard them, and an inconspicuous gray dove descended from the sky with a note. The note reads in upright handwriting - The Black lancer is in Sighisoara, and no other Black Servants have been found.
Although it was only a short sentence, the lion had already understood what Father Shirou was trying to convey.
Red loses berserker, Black should lose one of them, whether the lancer is a decoy or not, and since it's here, don't think about going back.
"Hey~ It seems that you want us to be pioneers. "The lion snatched away the newspaper," indeed, this is the most appropriate choice. ”
"What's wrong, Master?" asked Mordred, looking up in a daze, and asked indistinctly.
"The Black Lancer is nearby. ”
"Really, that's great news, fill your stomach and get some exercise. ”
Mordred thrust her fork into the sausage, seemingly mistaking the sausage for a black lancer.
"I say, it's daytime, and you're going to fight in a place like this—Lord King?" said the Lion.
"Hmm-" Mordred was struck by lightning, and to her anger, the wild cat had secretly taken the biggest fish on her plate.
"Ah, that's what I specially saved for the last to eat, give it back to me!"
How could a wild cat give up food to its mouth and run away.
"Don't run!" Mordred sprawled out and chased after him, just like a wildcat.
The lion pushed down his sunglasses and watched the scene speechlessly.
This guy, is it because his IQ has degenerated into a cat? Well, humans can't degenerate into cats, it should be...... (That's right, Xiao Mo hit the Hou-style alkali method, no, the monkey-style intelligent subtraction method.) )
◇◇◇
The "eyes and ears" of the Thousand Realms Tree clan are all over Romania, and Sighisoara is no exception, although it is not as pervasive as Tulifas, but it is still okay to focus on key people.
When Mordred, who looks fierce and looks like a vicious criminal, enters the city with a pineapple head, hot pants and a small suspender to look like a bad girl, the news is sent to Fiore's desk - because of the Assassin's activity, Danick handed over half of the intelligence network of the Thousand Worlds Tree Clan to Fiore.
Combined with the information she had received about the Ruler and the presence of another unidentified Servant in Sighisoara, Fiore couldn't help but let out a similar exclamation as Semiramis.
"What's going on? All of them...... Is there something going on in Sighisoara that we don't know about? What is it?"
With her left hand rhythmically tapping on the armrest of her wheelchair, Fiore fell into deep thought. Unfortunately, the Servant's strength far beyond that of humans doomed him to be difficult to obtain, and the existing information alone was not enough to draw conclusions, at least not Fiore herself.
"Maybe the Assassin can see something. ”
Since you can't see it yourself, then ask someone to help. The first thing that comes to mind is Shinji, who was born as an assassin and has an extraordinary sensitivity to intelligence, which can be seen from his previous performance.
However, as soon as the idea arose, Fiore pressed it. The embarrassing incident the night before had caused her to not be able to face her servant properly, and when she saw his face, she became helpless and didn't know what to do.
"It's not going to go on like this, we have to change this bad situation. ”
Fiore bit her lip and was about to call her servants through the contract. However, before the thought could be sent, she flinched again.
"Well, I still can't, I'm really ......"
After complaining to herself for a while, Fiore regained her spirits.
"Don't think about it yet, it's important, it's important - since the assassin can't do it,—— he can't do it. ”
As the second person on the Black side, Charon is positioned as a military advisor, and his ability and wisdom are undoubted, but he is now helping the Assassin in special training, and notifying him is equivalent to informing the Assassin. With Fiore's understanding of her own servants, she will definitely have to follow her when the time comes, and maybe it will make the already stiff relationship even worse. (Actually, no, Fiore thinks too much, so she says girl.) )
Next, Fiore excludes Corres (too familiar to know what he would say without asking), Serenicke (not on the war), Astolford (prisoner, evaporation of reason), Spartacus (prisoner, no dealing), Gold and Siegfried (the two went out early in the morning and didn't know what to do), Roger and Avisbrom (who stayed in the workshop all day and didn't communicate with the public).
In the end, only the patriarch and half-teacher of Danik and the leader of the black side, Vlad III, remained.
Sweeping away the dissatisfaction in her heart, Fiore drove her wheelchair to the top floor of the castle.
