Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Witch of Betrayal

Why save?

If the family were ordinary people and had nothing to do with mystery, Caster wouldn't be surprised.

But the Maki family is not an ordinary person. Not only is it not, but it is also a participant in the Holy Grail War and has already summoned a servant, which is strange.

The theme of the Holy Grail War is fighting. Fortunately, there are many ways to protect one's life, such as cutting off the contract and using the Light Order Charm, or directly entrusting the church, but the servants who are not on their own side can only die.

Although the Holy Grail War does not have a requirement that a Master can only make a contract with one Servant, under normal circumstances, no One Master can contract two Servants at the same time for two reasons:

First, the supply of mana. It takes a lot of mana to maintain the existence of a Servant, and ordinary magicians have to do their best to supply one Servant (except for those like Artoria who bring back their own magic), and even a first-class magician can hardly support the mana consumption of two Servants, unless by extraordinary means such as sacrificing life or devouring souls.

Second, the last wish. In the end, the Holy Grail War can only realize the wishes of a pair of masters and slaves, one master and two slaves, how to choose in the end?

In Caster's opinion, it is the most convenient and normal way to kill him while he is weak.

Of course, Shinji knew this, so he turned to Sakura, who was cleaning up the cups and plates, and asked.

"Sakura-chan, why did you save her?"

"The one who saw her fall to the ground alone couldn't help but ......" Sakura involuntarily lowered her head and replied in a low voice.

"Can't help it...... You-" A hint of strangeness flashed in Caster's eyes, which quickly turned to anger, "—are you taking pity on me?"

"I'm ......" Sakura shrank her shoulders, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

"yes, we're just taking pity on you. ”

She didn't say it, someone said it for her, it was her servant Medusa.

"Rider, don't, don't say it. ”

"No, I'm going to say. ”

Sakura hurriedly stopped her, but Medusa didn't listen.

Although they haven't been together for a long time, the relationship between Medusa and Sakura has become very good, and Medusa defends Sakura everywhere, and she is worthy of being a golden partner summoned by her sex.

"You've lost your Master, you're wounded, you've run out of magic, you've had trouble walking, you've made those unseemly sounds along the way—aren't these pitiful?"

"You...... Did you hear that?"

Caster, apparently remembering what he had said, twitched his long ears. This is the only difference between her appearance and that of modern humans, her ears are long, like a fantasy elf.

"Yes, I heard it, I heard it very clearly, every word. ”

"Hmm!" Caster's momentum dropped instantly.

"Everyone calls me a witch, and it ends up like this, I'm clear—"

"Enough, don't say it. ”

This time Caster panicked. It's one thing to reveal one's true feelings before dying, and it's another thing to be retold in person after relieving.

"—just want to go back to my hometown. ”

Medusa still didn't give up.

"That's enough, I'll tell you to stop talking!" Caster, who was stimulated, blurted out, "I don't know anything......"

"How do we know, you don't say?"

"If I told you that I killed my own lord with my own hands, and that I was injured to break the contract with the master, would you still think I was pitiful?"

“……”

Caster's roar silenced Medusa.

Sakura, Fujino, and Kiri-e were also surprised, according to Feathersia's monitoring, it took less than a day for Atram to summon the servant, and he killed his master in such a short time?

Only Shinji, who knows the details of Caster, remains calm: "There is always a reason for killing, and you don't look like the kind of crazy person who kills and plays when he has nothing to do." ”

"Hehehehe, you're wrong, I've always been called a madman, a witch of betrayal, I don't need a reason for betrayal. Caster's voice was high-pitched, and the impression of quiet and innocence was gone.

"The Witch of Betrayal...... I see, you're the princess of Colchis. ”

Combining the knowledge bestowed by the Holy Grail with certain qualities in Caster, Medusa was able to determine her identity. Colchis is a country in Greek mythology, where the famous Argonauts heroes found the Golden Fleece, and the princess of Colchis was none other than Medea, the wife of Iason, who is said to have betrayed her family and then her husband.

"Do you regret saving me?" Medea asked coldly.

Before Medusa could answer, laughter rang out in the room, Shinji's laughter.

"What are you laughing at?" Medea grabbed the sheet tightly with both hands:

"I laugh because of your Master, Atram Gariasta. ”

"You know him?"

"I know, but I don't know each other. I heard Sakura say that his workshop caught fire in the end, did you do it?"

"That's right, it's me, and I burned him to death in the end. ”

"That guy used to compare one of his own magic tricks to the flames you used to burn your rival when you were alive, and then he himself died under such flames, don't you think it's funny?"

However, except for Shinji, no one else in the room laughed, Medea was not in that mood, and the others couldn't laugh. Shinji touched his nose and said with some amusement.

"If your lord were someone else, I might have regretted it a little, and Atram could only say that he did it himself. That guy has a bad mentality, arrogant and inferior at the same time. Specifically, he can't see that others are better than him, and when he sees that the mentality of a god-generation magician like you collapses directly, he probably did a lot of excessive things - maybe add that guy is from the Middle East and looks down on women. Although you say that betrayal doesn't need a reason, but you have a desire to achieve it, and you know the consequences of losing your master, I don't think your so-called 'betrayal nature' is more important than your wish. ”

"......" Medea was speechless.

"And the women and the children. If you're really crazy, why would you let them go? They have something to do with you? No, then the answer is obvious, you're not as bad as you say, and we won't regret saving a woman who saved so many lives -- are you satisfied with the answer?"

Shinji smiled and looked at Medea, but Medea looked down at her palms and didn't look at Shinji.

"You, what are you going to do with me?"

"Let you go—it's impossible. You can continue to stay in this world without disappearing because of the effect of the workshop, and it won't be long before you leave here and you will dissipate because you lose your support. Even if you find a source of dependency and mana in time, I don't want another opponent to compete for the Holy Grail. So, I have a proposal to help us. ”

PS: The UB animation of the problem of demon consumption is very clear.,Rin drags a dull hair.,A Shirou's inherent enchantment has reached the limit.,Shirou himself still has twenty-seven magic circuits for demons.,It can be seen that the consumption is huge.。
