Chapter 67: Einzberen's Doubts (Part II)
If Shinji knew Kiritsugu's thoughts, he would wake up laughing in his dreams. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He asked Skaha to come forward to save Kenneth not to disturb Kiritsugu's train of thought at all, but simply to have an intention on Kenneth, but he didn't expect Kiritsugu to lead himself into the ditch.
Skaha's course of action tonight is like this, racing from the city to the foot of the mountain near the Einzbelen forest, and then hiking up the mountain, and as soon as she finds Caster's location, she receives a message from Shinji asking her to check on Justisa's condition.
When Skaha arrived at the back mountain, Yustisa was in battle with Yanfeng Qili, and he did not fall behind.
After Shinji got the news, the big stone hanging in his heart finally let go. He was worried that Justissa would encounter the Servant, Justisa had no job template, and he had no combat experience during his lifetime, even if he developed a new combat magic, he could not be the opponent of the Servant - only in this Holy Grail War, if it was a non-combat Servant like Hans Christian Andersen and Shakespeare, Ustisa still had a chance to win.
But if the opponent is Yan Feng Qili, Shinji is not worried.
Although Qili's combat power is strong, he has not exceeded the boundaries of human beings after all, even if Yusi Tisa can't beat it, it is not difficult to leave, not to mention that there is a trick such as disarming the entity and transforming it into a spirit - the spirit has one of the biggest bugs, that is, the simple physical attack is ineffective, and only the attached mysterious attack can cause damage to the spirit, and Qili has only practiced magic for three years, and he does not carry the church's spirit removal equipment, so he is not a big threat to Yusi Tisa.
Confirming this, Shinji immediately made a decision and changed his goal again, letting Skaha go to the castle, which led to the scene where he rescued Kenneth in front of Kiritsugu and sold favors to Lancer, and brushed Saber's favor by the way.
Alice Phil didn't have as many thoughts as Kiritsugu and Shinji, and her opinion on this matter was also very simple: "Do you want to contact the family, maybe the eldest master (Ahad) knows something." ”
Hearing his wife's suggestion, Kiritsugu seemed a little hesitant.
There is nothing wrong with the suggestion itself, Kiritsugu and Alice Phil can't know more about Einzberen than Ahad who can make a humanoid terminal made by the central system, and asking Ahad is a clue no matter what kind of reply they get.
But Einzbergeren's conservative seclusion made it extremely difficult to contact the family. Einzberen's own house did not have modern communication equipment, and the communication devices made of alchemy were owned only by Ahad, and they could only contact a fixed node at a fixed time, excluding the Einzberen Forest in the Far East.
Kiritsugu has to contact his family and has to go through three transfers. First contact his own intelligence officers, and then transfer to one of the few outlying strongholds in Einzberen, and then go to specific nodes from this outlying stronghold - several nodes are not equipped with modern communication equipment, and completely follow the tradition of the Einzbelen family, through the alchemy device of the node, the head of the family can be contacted Ahad.
The process of contacting Ahad alone takes three to six days, and if you count Ahad's search for information and reply, it is estimated that it will take ten days and half a month, maybe the Holy Grail War is over at that time, and it is useless to ask for answers.
In addition to the difficulty of contact, Kiritsugu was also a little worried about the mysterious woman's reaction. Although that woman is related to the Einzberen family, judging from various performances, she is not on the same front as Einzberen, and even has certain contradictions with her own family. If Kiritsugu rashly contacts the family, there is a good chance that he will anger this woman, and it will be bad if he pushes her to the opposite side. Whether or not she was connected to the Assassin, the sheer sheer combat power made Kiritsugu have to be cautious.
Eventually, Kiritsugu shook his head: "Forget it." ”
"Well, listen to you. Now that her husband has decided, Alice Phil will comply, without even asking why, this is the tacit understanding between their husband and wife.
"Saber, the safety of the castle is in your hands, and I'll go after Kenneth. ”
After saying that, Kiritsugu didn't wait for Saber's answer, and left the restaurant directly, walked out of the castle through the messy city gates, and disappeared into the night. Even if the Assassin rescues Kenneth, he doesn't plan to give up, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve that goal.
Saber wanted to say something, but looking at Kiritsugu's resolute back, she could only swallow the words that came to her lips and lowered her head in annoyance.
Saber's performance Alice Fell saw in her eyes, and she turned to ask the young knight king, who was very close to her, "Why don't you say it?
"Because I need to keep you and Maiya-sama safe. ”
Saber looked down at his left hand, which was covered with a silver ring that held the unconscious thumb in place, and if the left hand was intact, Caster would be dead.
"It's not safe here, Maiya can't move, you need to take care of her, in case an enemy invades while I'm leaving, you're in danger, especially the man who injured Maiya......"
"Yan Feng... "Alice Fell subconsciously said the name that made Kiritsugu feel intimidated.
"I have examined Miss Maiya's body, and most of her ribs are broken, and her internal organs are also broken to varying degrees, and it only takes two blows to cause such an injury, this man is very strong. "Saber gave a very high evaluation to Qili's Bajiquan.
"Strong, Saber, do you say that?" Alice Phil's hands clenched unconsciously, looking nervous.
"Yes, strong. "One of the rules of knighthood is fair, Saber will not belittle the other party because he is an enemy, "According to the knowledge given to me by the Holy Grail, there are not many humans who are stronger than him, but Alice Phil, don't worry, I'm talking about humans, not servants, and my words can easily defeat him even with only my left hand." ”
The last sentence made Alice Phil instantly turn into joy: "Really?"
"Swear in the honor of a knight. Saber gently hammered down her left chest with her right fist, and she would protect the woman in front of her no matter what.
"I trust you, Saber. Alice Fell walked up to Saber and took her hands, "Miss Maiya and I will leave it to you for protection." ”
"Yes, I must. Saber's serious expression and upright posture were worthy of her name as the Knight King, but ...... The posture of such a knight's benchmark was ruined by an undisguised "grunt".
Saber's face turned red all of a sudden, and his mouth was hesitant: "This... That one... I'm sorry, Alice Phil, I don't particularly feel fasting, just that my body seems to need nourishment. ”
"Okay, okay, I got it. The corners of Alice Fair's mouth unconsciously turned upward, "Because there is a big battle with Caster, there is no way to be hungry, you sit here for a while, and I will prepare food for you." ”
"Thank you very much, Alice Fair!"
As soon as she heard that there was food, Saber's eyes lit up, and the three contrasting expressions of heroism, shyness, and excitement were mixed together to look extraordinarily cute.
Looking at Saber like this, Alice Phil was in a better mood.
"What are you going to do today? Salamander soup? How about adding some wasabi, which is very popular with Japanese people?"
That's right, Alice Phil specializes in the legendary dark cuisine!
