Many people know that King Arthur's right-hand man, Gawain, has the title of "Knight of the Sun", and there is almost no one under the sun.

But few people know that Gawain enjoyed the protection of the sun and King Arthur the night. Although there is no substantial bonus, King Arthur's presence at night is indeed stronger than that during the day, and that awe-inspiring quality combined with the beautiful appearance of the girl gives people an inexplicable shock.

The knight girl smiled at Shinji, "I'm back." ”

Shinji was also smiling and was about to speak, when he heard Skaha suddenly say, "Are you hurt?"

This sentence instantly interrupted everyone's movements.

Shinji's response, Illya and Alice Phil's rise to greet her, Kiritsugu and Maiya's questions, and Sakura and Medusa's curiosity were suppressed.

Shinji's gaze quickly swept over Artoria's body, and sure enough, he found that there was a trace of blood faintly between the gaps in the silver armor, and her face was a little paler than when she was first summoned, but it was hidden by the moonlight, which was difficult to notice.

While carving the healing runes as fast as you can, you turned your gaze:

"Illya, where's the scabbard?"

"Mom—"

Illya looked sideways at Alice Field, who pressed her chest to take out the artifact that had armed the concept.

Artoria shook his head: "No need, it's just a small injury, just use healing magic." ”

So the mother and daughter began to perform healing magic together, and Shinji put down his hand, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Who is it? Berserker or someone else. ”

"It's Berserker. ”

"Sure enough. "Hercules was forcibly transferred by the Curse because of her.

Artoria was ordered to find the Imperial Lord, who was hiding in nearby Einzberen, and capture him alive. After leaving Emiya's house, she immediately began to look for someone.

Although she has little experience in this area, she has excellent mobility and intuition, and even if she doesn't know how to find it, it doesn't take much time to search through the streets with the clumsiest methods, and Einzberen is also not good at hiding and dodging.

As a result, it was really found for Artoria.

Because of the experience of the previous Holy Grail Wars, Einzberen has learned a little wiser. I didn't send out all the manpower, and I specially left a few combat androids to protect the safety of the Master.

However, androids can't compare to servants after all, let alone top servants like Artoria. Miss Knight King didn't even draw her sword, and with a few random punches, she knocked the android who was blocking the way unconscious and knocked him down.

But it also bought enough time for the Master to activate the spell, and the giant with a huge axe and sword descended from the sky. At the same time, the Lord of Einzberen also began to retreat - knowing that he had to run when he should run, which was also Einzberen's growth.

Artoria was certainly reluctant to let go of her target, but Hercules stood in front of her like the hardest wall in the world.

In the next moment, the civil war of the "Three Shines of Europe" began again.

The outcome of the battle is strikingly similar to that of one of the original worldlines, with Artoria liberating the Wind King Barrier at close range, taking Hercules' life. When he was secretly relieved and chased in the direction of Einzbelen's retreat, Hercules was actually resurrected.

Because of his early departure, Artoria did not know the effects of Hercules' Noble Phantasm. Although she managed to dodge attacks from behind thanks to the Instinct skill, she was at a disadvantage, and with increased patience for slashes and the Wind King's Barrier, Artoria finally had to pay for a shoulder injury, allowing Hercules to fly herself out of the hurricane-like onslaught.

Just as she was about to regroup and fight again, Hercules suddenly retreated, presumably because the Master had moved to a safe place, knowing that it would be difficult to eliminate the two traitors surrounded by many servants, and finally gave up the operation.

Considering that he was injured and in poor condition, Artoria did not choose to continue the pursuit and returned to Emiya's house along the same route.

This story is reasonable, I don't know the details of Hercules, it's really easy to suffer such a loss, and the final choice is also very wise, the whole process is nothing worth noting, only one point-

"You have met the Lord of Einzbellen?"

Because he stole Illya, who was supposed to be the Little Grail and the Master of Einzbelen, Shinji was extremely sensitive to this aspect. After all, to purify the Great Grail, you need to open the path to the Great Grail, and the Little Chalice is the only key.

The manufacturing technology of this key is only available in the central system of Einzbelen, and neither Euthesa nor Alice Phil knows that the original body of Alice Phil, which can be used as a sample, has been destroyed by Artoria with the holy sword to the point that there is not even a scum left - well, there is still a piece of slag, which is enshrined at home as a relic of Shi Chen, and it is this residue that caused Shi Chen's death.

In other words, if Shinji wants to achieve his goal, he must first hold the contemporary Little Holy Grail in his hands, whether it is in human form or some other form. According to the consistent practice of the Einzberen family, the Little Chalice should be with the current Master, and finding the Master is equivalent to finding the Little Grail.

Artoria didn't disappoint Shinji, and she nodded.

"See. ”

"Describe the characteristics specifically, do you have anything to bring? ”

"He didn't carry anything, but his features were obvious, he had red eyes and long white hair like Alice Field, but he was a man and looked like he was in his seventies. ”

"Wait, male, or old age?"

Isn't Aijia a friend of otaku, specializing in making young and beautiful female androids? When did it change to make men? and it's not the Mujik family of dead fat (Gold). Unless it's—

Shinji frowned and looked at Alice Phil, who looked at Kiritsugu with a strange gaze.

"Is it ——??"

"That's right, it should be him. Only Ahad in the entire family met this trait. ”

"Is it really him?"

Ahadion, on is an honorific title, and his full name is Jubstakuhaid von Einzberen. The eighth patriarch of Einzbellen, who lived for nearly two centuries, has led the Einzberen family since the time of the Holy Grail Quest, the only authority in the family, and the old antique who has experienced four Holy Grail Wars.

In the past, I only specified the strategy and did not directly participate in the war, so why did it happen this time? Is it because I lost Illya?

The Einzberren family never seemed to want to keep one more hand, all the cards were in the open, and they only made one small chalice, and they didn't know how to make one more spare.

With the loss of Illya, the sole Master, and the gap between the Holy Grail Wars changing from sixty years to ten years, they may not have time to prepare a new Master, and they can only be sent by veterans who are "experienced as patriarchs".

PS: Speaking of which, Gawain is still not domineering enough, the so-called "sun" should be the only —— in the sky and the world, but this time there is no sun bonus under the moon to blow a wave of crazy rivers.

PS2: That's why it is said that androids don't understand people's hearts, if Ahad Ken took out androids for sale, or set up a company to accept employment or something, Einz Bellen would have been the number one in the world - think about it, wife, Illya, maid Liz and other girls are up to you, obedient, can do magic, and can also implant fighter aircraft or other functions, wouldn't you be impressed? (We will not discuss the complex proposition of whether artificial humans are human beings or not, and whether they have human rights.) ）
