Under the slightly dim withered yellow street lamp, Xue Li and Rin Tosaka stared at each other without blinking.

The atmosphere of the scene was extremely heavy, a little sweat slowly flowed down from Rin Tosaka's forehead, and the majesty that came from Xue Li's body greatly surprised Rin's expectations.

The arrogance that regards the world as ants, the nobility that seems to be innate, and the endless majesty like a god...... All of this was pressing Rin's mind, making it difficult for him to even breathe. But Rin, who was naturally strong, was unwilling to retreat, holding up his trembling legs, and glaring back at Xue Li without blinking.

Rin's reaction made Xue Li feel extremely surprised, although he had long known that the overlord color domineering might not be very effective for a person with magical powers like Rin, but according to his speculation, with his years of training, the overlord color should also be able to make Rin collapse to the ground and unable to move.

But Rin survived with the feeling of not admitting defeat in his heart, and stared at Xue Li's eyes without fear.

You must know that the most oppressive force of the overlord's domineering power is the eyes of the person he releases, even some pirates with a bounty of hundreds of millions of dollars can't formalize his eyes. This kind of Rin made Xue Li nod in his heart, and the more he recognized the girl in front of him who seemed to be weak, but was actually stronger than anyone else.

After thinking about it, Xue Li wanted to withdraw the overlord's domineering coercion, but at this moment, his face suddenly changed, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"Who'!!"

The roar was still echoing, and Xue Li's figure had already disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Rin, and his arm was instantly covered by the color of armament, and he swung out.

The right fist containing the bitter wind collided with the black dagger that came out of thin air and struck Rin.

'Bell-'

The moment the punch made contact with the attacking dagger, the dagger shot backwards at a faster speed than when it came. Straight into the void.

"Hmph—"

A dark figure appeared from where the dagger had disappeared with a muffled grunt, but disappeared in an instant, and was no longer visible.

Xue Li was startled when he saw this, and his brows couldn't help frowning, because the one that suddenly appeared in his domineering perception of seeing and hearing disappeared again. The man just now was only noticed by his sight and hearing at the moment of attack. This can be said to be something that Xue Li has never had. And judging by the appearance of the enemy, he must have been lurking around him and Rin for a long time, waiting for an opportunity suitable for a one-hit kill.

The timing of the selection was also perfect, in the moment when Rin was oppressed by his overlord color and was powerless, he himself was a little distracted, and he went straight to Rin's heart, if it weren't for Xue Li's domineering spirit that had been sensing the surroundings, Rin might have died under the sneak attack in just a moment, which couldn't help but make Xue Li feel scared for a while. I'm glad that I haven't retracted my vigilance just now because of my fear of the blonde man.

"Slave?"

At this time, Rin also came back to his senses from the change just now, and asked with a somewhat ugly face.

Just at the moment when Xue Li disappeared, she thought that her patience was exhausted and she wanted to attack her, but what happened next shocked her, and when the black dagger that appeared out of thin air and Xue Li fought into her eyes, Rin only felt a chill. If Xue Li hadn't made a move, she might have died from that knife just now.

With this in mind. While Rin's face was ugly, he was also apologetic, apologetic for slapping Xue Li indiscriminately before.

"It should be!"

Xue Li looked around vigilantly, his body couldn't help but tense, and the person who suddenly attacked only revealed his figure the moment he was stabbed by the dagger that bounced back. He wasn't sure if he had left. After all, with previous incidents, Xue Li was not very relieved about his domineering appearance.

"It should be the assassin you are talking about, miss a blow, quickly retreat, and wait for the next opportunity to kill with one blow."

After hearing Xue Li's words. Rin's expression changed slightly, but then he looked calm, and in just an instant, he broke out of the shadow of almost death, and observed his surroundings with a vigilant face.

Xue Li, who had been wrapping his domineering spirit around Rin's body, saw this scene, and nodded secretly in his heart, Rin's strength greatly surprised him, and he couldn't help but smile on his face, but he didn't say anything, still vigilantly observing the changes around him.

Time passed bit by bit, and the two of them had been standing in place for nearly ten minutes before Xue Li breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and smiled at Rin: "It seems that he has left." Having said that, the domineering look he saw and heard around Rin did not take it back, after all, it was better to be more wary of the kind of people who were elusive and only existed for assassination.

After hearing Xue Li's words, Rin's tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

'Poof-'

And at the moment when she relaxed, the previous experience of being oppressed by Xue Li and almost dying came back to her heart, causing her to sit on the ground and gasp for breath. I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart: "Sure enough, the Holy Grail War is so cruel, killing the Master will become the quickest way for some people with ulterior motives to win." ”

"Huh?"

Rin, who was in deep thought, was suddenly stunned, and looked at the white palm that appeared in front of him at some point, and then looked up at the owner of the palm.

"Rin, let's go back first!"

Xue Li saw Rin's gaze, and said softly with a gentle smile on his face.

Rin was stunned by the heart-warming smile, and then hurriedly lowered his head, and if he looked closely, he could see that the base of his ears was already flushed.

Without holding the palm in front of him, Rin stood up with his hands on the ground, patted the dust on his body, lowered his head and didn't look at Xue Li's cheeks, and slowly spit out two words in a voice as thin as a mosquito.

"Thank you!"

Xue Li smiled when he saw this, and shook his head slightly: "You don't need to say thank you to me, I was your servant during the Holy Grail War, so I will definitely protect you, unless I am defeated and die, otherwise I will definitely not let people hurt you!" The voice was still soft, but it revealed a rock-solid determination.

Rin, who lowered his head, couldn't help but raise his head, staring at Xue Li's handsome cheeks in a daze, and after half a ring, he suddenly turned around, the roots of his ears flushed again, and then walked in the direction of home without looking back. As he walked, he said: "Hmph, then it goes without saying, you will definitely not die, we will definitely win this Holy Grail War, you will help me to achieve victory, right?" At this, Rin paused. But he didn't turn around, just stood quietly in place, silently waiting for Xue Li's answer.

"It's an honor!" Xue Li smiled slightly, and a sense of determination flashed in his eyes.

Rin nodded and stepped forward again.

"Let's go home!"

"Hmm!"

Xue Li nodded and quietly followed behind Rin, but secretly released his domineering aura to the extreme, always paying attention to the slightest movement around him to see if the assassin was still here. After all, even if the ability to conceal is strong. There would also be traces of it as he walked, which allowed Xue Li to determine if the assassin was still here.

"That girl is my sister, my own sister, so she just had a hot head to do that kind of thing."

And at this moment, Rin suddenly said out loud, and the meaning of his words made Xue Li pause, and asked with some confusion: "Then why are you avoiding her?" ”

"Ten years ago, my father suddenly passed Sakura to the Kiriri family. The reason for this is that the magic mark in the magician family can only be passed on to one person, so the older me became the heir of the Tosaka family. Sakura was passed on to the Makiri family, where the magic circuit in the bloodline was gradually cut off due to the lack of adaptation to the water and soil. Because of me, Sakura was sent out of the house at the age of five and in an unfamiliar environment. ”

Rin's voice became lower and lower, and even at the end it was a little hard, and his tone was slowly full of guilt and self-blame.

Xue Li listened quietly to Rin's story, and couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. He also secretly frowned at Rin's father's approach, but he was a little angry with Xue Li, and he didn't take into account Rin and Sakura's thoughts at all. What is the difference between this practice and selling daughters, and it is another magic family.

Although he hasn't been in this world for a long time, Rin has also told him how magicians exist.

Magicians spend most of their lives with "research". Users who use magic outside of research are in the minority. For example, there are very few people who use magic to work and get paid accordingly. Rather than being treated as an object of study, but merely as a means (e.g., assassins who use magic), such unscrupulous people are called "magicians" and are treated with contempt by magicians.

Magicians have been studying magic tirelessly from ancient times to the present day. However, very few people are aware of their existence. That's because magicians adhere to the iron rule of "never unscrupulously revealing the mystery to the world".

There are not many people who use magic in their daily lives. First, because the "cost" of using magic is high, it is too luxurious to use it only for daily affairs. But the main thing is to "hide the mystery". The Magic Association is extremely forbidden to expose magic to the world, and if you use magic at will, you will be purged by the association.

Because the existence of magicians has become extremely cold-blooded due to long-term research, if ordinary people discover the mystery of magic, they will not hesitate to erase it.

This can be seen from the Holy Grail War, the seven magicians selected by the Holy Grail and the seven Heroic Spirits who are also chosen by the Holy Grail, each magician has a contract with one of the Heroic Spirits, and the other magicians and the Heroic Spirits compete for the Holy Grail, that is, to fight until there is only one group left, so that the cruel war can see the cold-blooded magicians, and they never care about the lives of ordinary people, and the Holy Grail War 10 years ago has caused many innocent deaths.

In such a group, the consequences of sending a child to an unfamiliar environment are unimaginable, and it is precisely because of this that Rin feels so guilty.

After a long groan, Xue Li quickened his pace, walked to Rin's side, stretched out his hand and rubbed Rin's hair, and said softly, "It's not your fault, so you don't need to feel guilty." Sakura won't blame you! ”

Rin, who was stunned by Xue Li's sudden attack, his face gradually softened after hearing Xue Li's words, and he felt the palms above his head that were not too big, but he felt an unprecedented sense of security in his heart.

Rin nodded heavily.

"Go home, get a good night's rest, tomorrow the Holy Grail War should officially begin!"

"Uh-huh!!" (To be continued.) )

PS: Ah, it's finally finished, I didn't update it yesterday, and Xiaojiao apologizes again.

I'm tired from work these days, so I got off work early today, and I forgot to code words because I was chatting with a few bastards in the group. In the end, I was in a hurry, and finally succeeded in coding a chapter before 12 o'clock.

I'm tired, give Xiaojiao a few votes of recommendation encouragement and encourage me!

Rin's strategy is ongoing......
