When Shinji, Gold, and Ziegefy returned to Mirenia, there were already people waiting in the parking lot, and the three of them were immediately asked to meet Vlad III.

In this regard, Gold showed obvious dissatisfaction. Even if he was scolded by Shinji once, he still couldn't get used to Danik's practice of serving Vlad III, thinking that it was a disgrace to the entire Thousand Worlds Tree.

"What a useless housekeeper. Gold looked at Siegfried, who was expressionless and staring. Compared to Vlad III, Siegfried is obviously much better, and of course my level as a master is higher.

On the contrary, Shinji admires Darnik. Find out the character of the servant, and reach a consensus with the servant in the most appropriate way. In order to stimulate the subjective initiative of Vlad III, he did not care about personal honor and disgrace. In the end, it is a monster that can make the old insect suffer, and it is more than a hundred times stronger than the fat man around him who can't recognize the situation.

Regardless of what the two of them feel in their hearts, whether they want to or not, Danick is the patriarch of the Thousand Realms Tree, and Vlad III is the leader of the Black side, and their orders cannot be disobeyed, at least not for now.

Later, between the kings, the three of them met Vlad III, who was sitting on a jade throne, and Danic, who was standing beside him.

Vlad III asked, "Assassin, report on your actions last night." ”

This question has been anticipated. His mission last night was to further survey the Thousand Worlds Tree Clan's defenses, but he showed up on the outskirts of Tulifis and encountered the Adjudicator that Black wanted to woo, which was not curious.

Of course, Shinji also prepared a reply in advance, and he said with a straight look: "At 20 o'clock last night, I left the city of Mirenia and headed in the direction of Tulliface to conduct a second survey of the enchantment along the way. According to my estimates, the survey will last at least four hours, but I didn't expect it to go unexpectedly. Not only did I not see any new problems, but the previously discovered vulnerabilities were well resolved, which is supposed to be the work of Archer. ”

Speaking of this, Shinji paused deliberately, and after seeing Danick nodding, he continued:

"He is worthy of being a great sage, and he knows so much about magic. Thanks to him, the survey work ended at about 22:20 last night. My lord Fiore's rest time was around 11 p.m., and I judged that there was no point in returning to the city of Mirenha. So he took it upon himself to go to Tulifas, where he had not yet been to investigate. ”

"At 11:30 a.m., the topographical survey of Tulifis was completed and continued to advance towards the periphery. On the road outside the city, I found the ruler. I think it's an opportunity. ”

"The Ruler has the privilege to dictate the course of the war, and if it is used by us, the red side will surely lose. Even if it can't be used by us, you should make a good impression on Ruler so that she doesn't get wooed by Red. ”

"She didn't come back with you, presumably because the wooing was unsuccessful. Vlad III put his hands on the armrests of the jade throne, and there was no joy or anger on his face.

As the Grand Duke said. Shinji bowed his head slightly to express regret, "Ruler has a noble temperament, a firm will, strictly adheres to the principle of justice, and is determined to keep a distance from both sides. Although the wooing was not successful, I think this result is not unacceptable, at least we can't, and the same is true for the red side. ”

"Do you know Ruler's real name?" asked Darnick.

"Ruler has no secret that she is the Joan of Arc. ”

"It turned out to be the saint of France. "Danik clearly knows something about Joan of Arc's saga.

"Because she strictly follows the rules and doesn't overstep them, I have a new idea - to use my job skills to lurk around Ruler, and I can catch people on the red side by surprise as soon as they appear. ”

"Nice strategy. ”

Vlad III affirmed Shinji's idea.

"No one would ignore the existence of the Adjudicator, and no one would have thought that there would be an assassin ambushing the Adjudicator, but alas-"

It's a pity that I think of Red didn't even think about wooing Ruler, but wanted to get rid of her. I thought that Ruler would join forces with me to sanction the Red Lancer, but she was even more stubborn than I thought, and rejected my proposal on the grounds that the battle between the Red and Black and the attack on the Ruler were different events, so I had no choice but to fight the Red Lancer. I should have known that I should have let Ruler and Red Lancer fight first, and then come out to pick up the bargain at the end. ”

This is certainly not true. Although Joan of Arc is strong and privileged, Shinji still doesn't think she can defeat Karna, and Karna's golden armor also determines that Shinji's sneak attack cannot cause fatal injuries. Wouldn't it be nice to stand up and make a good impression on both sides instead of doing useless work?

Before saying this, Shinji had already determined that the observation magic of Mirenia City could only transmit images, not sounds, and the people in the castle did not know what Shinji and Joan of Arc said, and with Joan of Arc's character, they would not follow the castle and expose it to their faces.

"No need to be upset, Assassin, even Yu, will make the same choice as you. ”

Vlad III not only did not blame Shinji for his mistakes, but gave him a rather high evaluation.

"I don't dare to be so praised as a grand duke. Shinji's head pressed even lower.

"Excessive modesty can make it feel hypocritical, and you've proven your worth with your exploits - tell me what you think of the Red Lancer. ”

"Yes, Grand Duke. The strength of the red lancer is not below the black saber, whether it is as a heroic spirit or a servant, it is the top of the top, and he also has the same immortal body as saber. ”

"Saber, what do you think?" Vlad III turned his gaze to Siegfried.

Siegfried glanced at his Master, and seeing that he had no intention of objecting, he spoke, "What the Assassin said is correct, the Red Lancer Karna really deserves such an evaluation. ”

"Karna!" Vlad III and Danic looked at each other, the former paying attention, the latter as if he were facing a great enemy, "Are you sure?"

It has been confirmed by the red lancer himself. ”

"He doesn't care about that kind of pretense. ”

Shinji and Siegfried spoke almost at the same time.

Darnick snorted heavily, his face cold without the slightest wrinkle: "It will take two days at most to prepare such a catalyst, Rock Belferbon—although he is the Minister of Summoning Science, he alone should not be able to do it... Allies of Belferbon... Elmeloy, and Sophia of the Séance, the three departments have joined forces, and the Magic Association is really determined to destroy us. But one Karna is still far away! we have the Grand Duke, the Saber, the Archer, and the Assassin, and the victory will be ours. The Grand Duke—"

Vlad III understood: "The next time you meet the Red Lancer, Yu will fight with Saber." ”

Siegfried frowned slightly, and quickly let go. As a warrior, he wants to have a life-and-death duel with Karna, but now it is not a one-on-one competition, but a war, and it is the most common practice to concentrate superior forces to knock down opponents.

Shinji also had a similar expression, but his brows were furrowed and he didn't let go, he took a step forward and said in a deep voice:

"Grand Duke, Patriarch Danic, can you listen to me. ”

PS: Since the Holy Grail War, the servants are rampant, the world is strife, the society is in danger of being tired, and the living beings are in urgent need of being overhanged.
