There were many unexpected situations in this Holy Grail War, and the biggest one was naturally the activation of the emergency system, which changed the ritual of the seven-horse brawl to the mode of the seven-on-seven faction battle.

In addition, there are many small accidents. For example, Joan of Arc the Judge descended as a Sage, and Danick, who was supposed to summon the lancer, summoned Berserker, and for example, the planned Assassin belonging to Sagara Leopard was summoned by Fiore, and there were no additional two bars of spells attached -

As mentioned earlier, the Assassin will generally only summon Hassan Sabah because the job agency itself is a catalyst. Due to the flood of the Holy Grail War of the subspecies in this world, except for the original Hassan, who could not appear in the Holy Grail War, the information of the other eighteen generations of Hassan has been exposed, and once it appears, it will be attacked by the joint efforts of other masters.

In order to capture the Holy Grail, the magicians conducted in-depth research on the assassin position, and finally found a way to summon the Heroic Spirit other than Hassan by preparing the catalyst in advance and attaching a two-bar spell, which Sagara Leopardma intends to use to summon Jack the Ripper.

The best place to summon Jack the Ripper is undoubtedly the birthplace of the rumors, London, England, but that's where the Magic Society's headquarters, the Clock Tower, is located, and being a member of the rebellious Thousand Worlds Tree is tantamount to killing yourself. Sagara Leopard Horse had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and went to Japan, where the rumors were relatively widespread and there was a guarantee of safety.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese side has not yet carried out the summoning ceremony, and Fiore has already summoned the assassin here. When Danick reacted and sent someone to contact Sagara Leopard while collecting lancer's catalyst, this guy was actually missing. What's even more troublesome is that through the secret treasure "Spirit Weapon Disk" collected by the clan, it is revealed that Lancer has been summoned, and this abnormal situation has attracted Darnick's attention and vigilance.

The people who are lurking in Japan have not yet heard of Sagara's leopard horse, and with each passing day, he is more likely to encounter accidents. The worst-case scenario is for someone from the Magic Guild to kill Sagara Leopard Horse and replace him as Master, which means that Red is likely to have two lancers.

It is also driven by this idea that Darnick set a plan to capture the Red Berserker - if you rob me of a servant, I will rob you of one, and no one will suffer, maybe there will be something to be earned, there is no catalyst, and the strength of the lancer is purely based on the face.

Of course, there is another possibility, the summoned lancer has a fierce personality, and he will dominate the master without saying a word, and find another puppet to become a third party outside of red and black.

Either way, the probability that the lancer is a friend or foe is much greater than that of a friend or foe.

The moment he determined the identity of the person, Gold's body immediately tensed, and the anger from the betrayal of the creature was also extinguished.

"Black Lancer !!"

"Exactly. The female knight wrapped in silver armor and silver helmet raised her head slightly, and her eyes swept over Siegfried not far away and Astolfo squatting on the ground, "Black Saber and Black ——?"

This was an oversight on the part of Shinji, who told Altoria the true names of the Black Servants, but did not describe their physical features. Except for ruler, there is no way to directly confirm the job placement between other servants, and can only rely on external characteristics to judge.

Siegfried carried a big sword on his back, and the fighting spirit around him was like a mountain, giving people a strong sense of oppression, and there was no doubt about Saber's position.

And Astolfo...... Although there is a sword hanging from his waist, it is not a treasure, and it cannot be used to judge the position, and there are possibilities for archer, caster, and rider. Although according to the knowledge given to her, Charon, Avisbron, and Astolfo were all men, but with her own precedent, Artoria did not dare to draw conclusions lightly.

Fortunately, Astolford reported himself home in time.

—Rider, whose real name is Astolford, one of the twelve warriors of Charlemagne. Thank you for saving Ziggy, Lancer. ”

"Thanks... Thanks..."Zigger, who was being held by Astolfo, struggled to his feet, trying to squeeze out two words.

"There is no need to say thanks, protecting the weak is what a knight should do. ”

Even after more than 1,500 years, Artoria still adheres to the rules of chivalry. Gold's behavior seemed to her to be undoubtedly bullying, especially for this teenager—

"You don't seem to be the master of the rider?"

"How can a mere puppet be a master? Don't make people laugh. ”

Without waiting for Zieg and Astolfo to speak, Gold spoke first.

"What's going on?"

Artoria glanced at Gold, and the coldness in his eyes made the latter shiver subconsciously.

"He, he's an artificial man I made, and he's supposed to serve me. But not only did he not obey my orders and run away from the castle, but he also wanted to kill me, the creator, and Rider didn't know what he was crazy about, and would help this android to do what was tantamount to rebellion. ”

"No, no, it's not. ”

Still weak and unable to even stand, Ziggy shook his hands desperately and explained.

"I, I, just don't want to die. Stay there and I'll die. I...... Want, live. ”

"Live?" said Gold, as if hearing something incomprehensible, "what a foolish thing to say, I don't remember anything like that was given to you." With only three years to live, it can neither contribute to the world nor leave a trace. What's the point of living such an inferior product?"

"I... I—" Zigger's face flushed, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

Am I not even allowed to live?

"Not really!" Astolfo retorted loudly, taking Zieg's hand, "whether it is contributing to the world or dedicating one's life to someone, it is something that you want to do." If you want to live, it's the right roar of human beings! As long as your heart is beating, you should want to live! You, you must—live!"

The last sentence is already a roar. It's hard to imagine that Astolfo, who is dressed in women's clothes and looks more feminine than a woman, has such a domineering time.

This roar, like the first thunder of early spring, awakened the beast that had been dormant for a winter.

Zigger's eyes widened and he breathed heavily: "I want to live." ”

For the rider who saved me, for the archer who helped me heal, for the assassin who sheltered me, and for myself.

"I, Ziggy, want to live. ”

The determined expression, the burning eyes, and the indomitable will moved Siegfried and Artoria.

"I don't remember instilling that personality in you. Gold was completely speechless.

By now, he can't even bring up his anger, it's normal for one or two defective products to appear in mass-produced things, this should be a defective product, since Caster likes it, give it to him.

"Really, every time, every time, I meet people like that. ”

Artoria was in a slight trance, and she remembered Alice Phil. Like the boy named Ziggy, she is also an artificial human, but she lives more realistically than a human.

"Every time, I can't help but want to help. Is this what Merlin is talking about? In that case—rider, can you lend me your sword?"

"Yes, if you like it, I'll give it to you. Astolfo didn't hesitate for even a second, and handed the sword directly to Artoria, as if it wasn't his own at all.

"Thank you. Artoria solemnly hung her sword at her waist, "You are an excellent knight, and although you have been active in different eras, I am glad to meet you in this Holy Grail War. ”

"Aha, I'm happy too. Astolfo smirked.

"Knight Astolford. ”

"Here!" Astolfo reflexively stood upright, he didn't know why he did it, but he didn't reject the feeling, perhaps the female knight reminded him of his lord, the greatest emperor of Europe.

"Follow through on your beliefs and take this boy named Ziggy with you. ”

"Yes! but, Saber—"

"I'll help you stop them, and swear by the knightly ways that you and I both believe in. ”

Artoria pressed her hand to the hilt of her sword, and a visible magic roared out and enveloped the entire sword.

PS: Ah Fu is this character, and it is not at all whether the treasure is precious or not. Not to mention that it is a sword that is not a treasure, even if it is "a touch and a drop", he also said that he would give it away, and he did it before his death.
