Chapter 359: The Caster Who Greets the "Holy Maiden".

"Saber, someone has invaded Ein Belen Castle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The barrier was destroyed, and Alice Phil, who was inside the castle, naturally felt it, and immediately told Artoria beside her.

"Someone invaded?" Artoria, who was dressed in a black suit and looked heroic, asked with a straight face.

"Yes, the barrier has been destroyed, this sign of directly cutting off the magic reaction is not like a human, it should be the lancer with the red rose that breaks the demon."

"It seems that he can't wait to compete with me when he recovers from his injury, or defeat him to lift the curse on his left hand, so that my 'Sword of Oath Victory' can be released, then I will have a great confidence in Rider and that archer." As he spoke, Saber immediately turned and walked out the door.

"Saber, what are you going to do?" Seeing that Saber was going out, Alice Fell immediately stopped her.

"What else can you do, of course it's going to fight! The lancer has all broken in, how can I be scared! Artoria rightfully said.

"......," Alice Phil thought for a moment, then reached out and put on her coat, and said, "In that case, let me go with you, and let's go together!" ”

"Hmm!"

————

The two of them left the castle and hurried in the direction of the intruders. But to their surprise, the first thing they saw was not the expected lancer, but ......

The man in front of him was wearing an old-fashioned luxurious robe, the pitch-black texture was dotted with blood-like crimson patterns, and the unusually large eyes were reminiscent of nocturnal animals. And if you don't look at these strange places in time, such a person at such a time and place must not be an ordinary passerby, then it should be a heroic spirit, it seems that in addition to Lancer, there are other people who have invaded this forest.

“…… saber？ ”

Saber quickly analyzed the current situation, and then said to Alice Field.

"Follow me for a while, and don't stay too far away from me."

Saber put on his face vigilantly, and the figure in front of him was unlike anything he had seen before. If it's a servant you haven't encountered yet, it's a caster or an assassin...... Saber thought.

Saber and Alice Phil, who don't know what happened in Tosaka Mansion that night, can't rule out the possibility of Assassin now, of course, but the servant in front of him who neither escaped nor hid but stood in front of him should not be Assassin, so from the exclusion, in the end I can only get one conclusion, that is-the figure in front of me is Caster.

But......

Is the expression of a warrior about to fight on his face?

The bewildered Knight King observed the other party's appearance again.

The other party was laughing, laughing for no apparent reason. And it wasn't like the smile of a warrior who died generously. Why is this caster smiling like that? It was like a long-lost brother reunited, and a flawless smile sparkled on his face full of joy.

And just when Saber was confused, the caster in front of him made an even more puzzling move.

Caster bowed his head respectfully, knelt on the asphalt as if he had met the king's courtiers, and said:

"I've been waiting for a long time, Your Highness"

"Huh......?"

Saber was getting more and more confused. Although she had received the bowing gifts of countless heroes and heroes as a king, she had no impression of the man in front of her. There was no such man among her former courtiers.

First of all, the title "Holy Maiden" is very strange. When it ruled Britain as King Arthur, it did not reveal its true identity as a woman until the end.

Alice Phil then followed, hiding behind Saber who was nervously on guard, and quietly watched Caster.

"Saber, do you know this person?"

"No, I don't have the slightest impression of him-"

As if hearing the whispers of Saber and Alice Field, Caster looked up and said:

"Oh, how can you say that. Don't you remember me? ”

For his even more marginal words, Saber said unhappily:

"Anyway, it's the first time I've met you — maybe you've made a mistake, you've mistaken someone."

"Oh oh, woo woo woo ......"

Caster whimpered as if he was very sad, clutching his hair with both hands. The expression that had been very dramatic just now suddenly changed very dramatically, and he looked extremely embarrassed and depressed. From this alone, it can be seen that he is a moody and dangerous person.

"It's me! I am your faithful servant, Gilles de Les, forever! I have been looking forward to your resurrection, and I have been waiting for the day when I will be able to see you again, and I have come here for this purpose, Joan of Arc! ”

"Gilles de Les ...... Les?"

This is already the fourth servant to bear his real name in front of them (the first three are Iskandar, Nightfall, and Arthas). It is unknown what his intentions were, but the name was indeed a prestige worthy of the caster of the present world.

But for Saber, I just want to clear up this misunderstanding.

"I don't know your name, and I don't know what Joan of Arc is."

After hearing Saber's answer, Caster said in even more confusion:

"How...... Have you forgotten them all? Have you forgotten everything you did when you died? ”

Saber grew a little tired of the inexplicable situation, so he looked at Caster seriously and said:

"Since you have given your name, I will also tell you my real name as a knight. My name is Artoria, son of Uther Pendragan, King of Britain. ”

Caster still stared blankly at the girl in front of him who puffed out her chest and proudly reported her name, and was stunned for a moment before crying out.

"Ahhh......h Oh whoa, ah......hhh

- Caster screamed desperately and pounded the ground unsightly.

"What a sorrow, what a sigh! Not only did you lose your memory, but you also lost your mind...... You...... You! God, why are you so cruel to my beautiful woman?"

"What the hell are you talking about, I wasn't-"

"Joan of Arc, it's understandable that you don't want to admit it. I was more pious than anyone else, and I believed in you more than anyone else. But you were abandoned by God, and God did not give you any help and salvation when you were judged to be a witch and put to death. It's not for nothing that you're doing this now. ”

Saber suddenly felt a disgusting sensation that was completely different from fear. The hairs all over my body stood on end.

The man in front of him hadn't heard Saber at all, or had never intended to hear it in the first place. For Saber, he just made a conclusion based on his own fantasies, and was convinced of it. Caster, who was dominated by this thought, did not listen to Saber at all.

"Wake up! Joan of Arc! Confused no more! Thou art the Holy Lady of Orleans, Joan of Arc, the Savior of France! ”

"Alright, alright! You're in moderation! ”

Saber, who couldn't take it anymore, scolded Caster with a look of disgust as he knelt on the ground.

"I'm Saber. And you're the caster. We are all servants fighting for the Holy Grail. We met here because of this relationship. ”

“…… saber。 It's useless to say anything to this man. ”

Alice Fell said to her behind the Knight King's back.

As a saber, Artoria has traveled through time and space to the present as a heroic spirit, and of course does not know what happened after his history. Therefore, it is natural that you will not know the crazy legend of Count Gilles de Les, who is known as "Blue Beard".

Although Gilles de Les rose to the throne of marshal as the hero of France's salvation, on the other side of his glory he indulged in black magic and lust, and even tortured and killed hundreds of teenagers. Known as the "Divine Monster" - Bluebeard! This is also known as the green beard.

Jill's final tragic fate has a lot to do with the death of Joan of Arc, the heroine of the middle school he fought with. So his dedication to Joan of Arc has been brought into the current Holy Grail War. It's impossible to know how much Saber and Joan of Arc have in common, but they must be very similar. Regardless, Jill Caster was convinced that Saber was the one he was missing, and would not allow any doubt.

"Joan of Arc, please stop calling yourself Saber and stop calling me caster. We will soon no longer be bound by the shackles of this so-called servant. The Holy Grail War is coming to an end! ”

"That's just wishful thinking on your part."

This time it was Alice Phil who retorted to Caster in place of Saber, who was already too angry to speak.

"Hey! Marshal Jill, since you said the war is over. So what's going on with the Holy Grail now? ”

"Needless to say, the Holy Grail that can grant all wishes is already in my hands."

Caster said proudly with a satisfied smile.

"My only wish is that Joan of Arc will be resurrected. And now that wish has come true! I didn't even have to fight with anyone, my wish had already become a reality! I didn't even need to fight, the Holy Grail had already chosen me, Gilles. ”

A terrible sound of "ding" sounded. Suddenly there was a chill in front of Caster's eyes.

It is Saber's Wind King Enchantment. Although Caster couldn't see it, it could also feel the sword qi in front of it.

"If you dare to be disrespectful to our Heroic Spirit's treasures again—I'm going to be unkind. caster！ ”

Although Saber tried to control his words, his voice was still full of sharp murder.

"Come on, stand up. A knight cannot strike at a kneeling person. If you're a servant, put away your sophistry and rely on decent fighting to claim the Holy Grail. Let me be your first opponent. ”

The frenzied flame in Caster's eyes vanished suddenly.

His face, which had been distorted by the excitement just now, gradually regained its calm. Caster looked up at the saber, and the strong willpower in his vision showed no sign of waning.

This is a look of secret determination, he just replaces his attachment with a firmer will.

"It seems that it is not enough to just say it with your mouth...... Is your heart still closed? Joan of Arc"

There was no longer a sigh in Caster's gloomy voice.

"I'm sorry about that. It seems that it is necessary to impose compulsory treatment on you. Anyway - I'll be sure to get everything ready for you next time. ”

The black robe drifted backwards at once, a long distance away from Saber. Caster, who stood up again, and the appearance of kneeling on the ground and wiping away tears just now are almost like two people. He exuded a domineering majesty that seemed to be able to stain the entire earth red with blood...... Not only the Heroic Spirit, but even the Tyrant will feel the oppression of fear.

The man in front of him was definitely not an easy enemy to deal with - his instinct told Saber standing in Caster that he was absolutely right.

"I promise you, Joan of Arc! The next time we meet, I'll be sure to ...... To save you from God's curse! ”

"Didn't you hear what I said? Pick up the sword and fight with dignity! ”

In response to Saber's indifferent answer, Caster silently lifted his materialization and disappeared into the night.

After a long sigh, Saber was relieved of his state of readiness. Alice Phil, who had collapsed, was also exhausted and leaned against the tree.

"Fight against an opponent who doesn't understand what to say...... It's really tiring."

"That's true, but cut it the next time I haven't spoken to him - I'm going to throw up if I stay a little longer."

Even though Caster was gone, Saber said indignantly.

"Do you regret letting him run away so easily?"

"Uh-huh. He ran away when I was about to make him pay for the gibberish he was talking about here."

A strange look suddenly flashed on the angry Saber's face, and then she said with a casual frown.

"But frankly, Caster's retreat was a fluke for me tonight."

"Huh? Really? ”

Alice Phil was surprised to hear Saber say such discouraged words.

For an opponent like Caster, who is good at magic warfare, Saber, who has the strongest anti-magic ability, is its toughest opponent. If the two sides do make a move, Saber should win by a landslide.

But Saber shook his head with a wry smile on an expression that he didn't fully understand.

"That caster...... Something different. Or maybe he's a little different from an ordinary magician. I'm not sure either...... However, with my left hand sealed now, it feels too dangerous to fight him. ”

Saber's sixth sense is also strengthened to a certain extent due to the nature of his rank. Since it was an enemy that even she felt was in some danger, Alice Phil had to re-evaluate Caster.

"Anyway, first of all, what about the lancer......"

"Yes. The next step is to face Lancer again, but luckily, Lancer is also a noble fighter. Neither run away nor hide. He's looking forward to a duel with me, too. ”

Although they are rivals, Saber resonates with the spirit of Lancer. Even so, Alice Phil still felt a little uneasy. After all, no matter how chivalrous the servant is, his master is not necessarily the same as him.

And the knight king, who was shackled by the servants, fought with the honor of the sword...... Thinking of this, Alice Phil couldn't help but be pessimistic. (To be continued.) )
