045 Small Talk with Elijah
"That's right! Speaking of which, where did you get that golden glitter from Kiri? Sakura said you went to the church to seek refuge, but why didn't we see you when we passed? ”
Bai Ze secretly said in his heart, "It's finally here", he had always thought that someone would ask him about the origin of the Hero King, but he didn't expect that he would not be mentioned by Rin Tosaka until today, which made him a little surprised. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Speaking of which, he did not do his job properly in those days, even if he concealed it, it was useless, after all, if he wanted to investigate, for the magician and the few people present from the local wealthy family, there was really nothing they couldn't find out, plus he also thought that what he did at that time was indeed a bit too heartless, even if he was scolded, he deserved it, so Bai Ze was also very frank and straightforward.
"What?! You actually went to a manga shop to read the manga for three days during such an important Holy Grail War? Why don't you die! ”
As soon as Rin Tosaka heard Bai Ze mention his unscrupulous black history, he immediately became angry, if it weren't for the fact that Shirou Emiya was half-pulling and half-hugging him, he might have come up and tore Bai Ze alive at this moment!
"Senior Sister Tosaka, I think it's more important at this moment to figure out why Father Yanfeng has the problem of the previous generation of Archer in his hands, right?"
Although Sakura was also dissuading the double ponytail at the moment, the reproach revealed in the girl's gaze from time to time at the young man still made Bai Ze, who knew that he was wrong, like a pins and needles - but unfortunately his injured thigh gave him nowhere to escape, so he had to stay here obediently and accept the blame.
"Okay, okay, it's all over, didn't Shinji come to help us in the end? And I don't think the hero king is very obedient, and even if he came at the time, he probably wouldn't be able to command that person, right? ”
Emiya Shirou also started a round, and after he said it was true, Rin Tosaka, who was still angry, swallowed this breath alive, but the gaze she still slashed at Bai Ze like a knife showed that her anger could not be eliminated so easily.
Speaking of which, Bai Ze can be quite understandable, after all, if she had appeared earlier, maybe her Archer would not have been killed in order to resist Berserker, and it is normal for her to have a grudge against herself, after all, this means that she has lost the qualification to compete for the Holy Grail at this moment.
"Let's talk about our future goals, in order to complete the Holy Grail War, we must defeat three more Heroic Spirits, and our first goal is to choose the Assassin of this generation at the gate of the Willow Cave Temple."
The few people who made the decision immediately went back to their rooms to pack up, and Bai Ze was pulled into a dark corner by Rider and sucked enough blood, so that she could replenish the loss caused by the two large-scale magic expenditures during this time, and even when she came out, because of her too ruddy and shiny face, and Bai Ze's pale and haggard appearance, it attracted many people's suspicious eyes - if it weren't for that time, it was too short, It's really easy to wonder if something discordant happened between the two.
The three masters took the two heroic spirits towards the Yanagi Temple, and successfully saw the assassin Sasaki Kojiro who was bound by the great spirit veins under the Yanagi Temple and could not leave the mountain gate at all.
This time there is Rider out of the horse, different from the previous situation where Saber came to fall into a bitter battle because of his inferior skills, after Rider canceled the "self-sealing" and cast his own petrified magic eye, he easily solved the ancient swordsman who did not have magic power at all in one round, so that the opponent's peerless sword skills that had become transcendent and holy had no room to play at all, which also made Saber, who kept telling how difficult this swordsman was on the road, turned blue with an iron face- It seems that if she can travel through time, she will definitely strangle the self who kept talking not long ago!
This goal was solved so smoothly that the morale of the few people who had already been more or less war-weary and cowering because of the three days of hard fighting in a row was also high.
After all, as long as one more Servant is killed at this moment, the Holy Grail will come, and this Holy Grail War will truly end!
It's a pity that Lancer's whereabouts have been unknown all along, and the Hero King doesn't say his identity as Bai Ze Servant at the moment, even if there is no such relationship, everyone present together may not be the opponent of the other party for a few rounds, so he didn't think about going to the other party's trouble for the time being.
At the same time, Illya, who did not travel with the team because of her poor mental state and the loss of her heroic spirit, and Bai Ze, who had to wait for everyone to return because of a thigh injury, did not all stay in the room to sleep - at the moment, the two of them were sitting around the low table watching TV together like brother and sister.
Although Illya is still that listless and dazed, judging from the fact that she is in the mood to sit here and watch TV, her mood at the moment has almost adjusted, and from time to time she even hides her mouth and chuckles because of some interesting plots in the comedy show, and next to her, there are two maids in black and white maid clothes cleaning and delivering tea and snacks, this scene is so harmonious that Bai Ze, who is sitting opposite the short table, can't help but feel weird in his heart, and looked at her sideways from time to time.
"Big brother of the sea leader, why does your expression look so strange?"
After staring for a long time, it was naturally impossible for Illya, who was already very keen, not to notice it, so she turned her head and asked suspiciously with her big bright eyes.
"No—I just can't understand that you, who had just happened yesterday and had obviously been hit hard, should still be lonely and sad at the moment, right? Why was it possible to pick yourself up so quickly? ”
Although he didn't want to touch the other party's scars, if he didn't understand this question, it really made Bai Ze even more restless, so after a second of silence, he still opened his mouth to ask.
"Why?"
Illya looked very confused and asked a rhetorical question, which made Bai Ze feel a little confused.
"I don't actually feel too much grief, do I? Berseker was indeed defeated, but this was a very natural thing in the Holy Grail War, and Berserker didn't actually leave me in the real sense, so although he was a little reluctant to let go of it, it was not that he couldn't let go of it - as for the moment, even though it was raining outside, it was still the sea head sitting next to him (Bai Ze: Hey, I can't take this as if I didn't hear it...... But I don't actually have anything I want, isn't it? Even though it's just sitting together like this, I feel a little happy for some reason...... Because, it's better to feel warm than being alone, right? ”
Although from Illya's words, I could hear the loneliness and loneliness that had accumulated in my heart and were difficult to resolve, but at this moment, there was no trace of gloom in her expression, which made people marvel at her strength.
Seeing that the blow to Illya didn't seem to be as big as he had imagined at the beginning, Bai Ze felt a little relieved for some reason, and suddenly remembered a secret story that was recorded in the notes by the Jian Tong Dirty Inkstone, which mentioned that the participants of the Einzberen family have always served as masters, but also shouldered the function of storing the souls of the heroes who died in battle, if the Great Holy Grail is the existence of providing energy and realm support for the servants, then if you want to open the vortex of the root, you must have the existence of the Little Holy Grail, In order to return to the Throne of the Immortal by releasing the souls of six Heroic Spirits at once, a large enough "hole" can be opened in the iron wall of the plane to form a stable channel, of which Illya, as a small chalice, is an indispensable "stabilizing device" in this system.
In other words, the souls of the few heroic spirits who have died now should be in Illya's body at this moment, so it seems that her servants are actually with her, no wonder she regained her calm so quickly, but the heroic spirits who have lost their spirit core cannot be restored at all, but there is no need to worry about when the girl in front of her suddenly resurrects that extremely tricky demigod hero again.
"Well, you're strong, Illya."
After sighing softly, Bai Ze found that although he could understand the other party's thoughts, when this kind of thing fell on him, he did not have the confidence to be able to "see" like Illya.
Looking at Illya, whose main attention has been focused on the programs broadcast on the TV, and who is chatting with him without a match, Bai Ze has a sense of disobedience at the moment, you must know that just a few days ago, it was this girl who saw her servant who seemed to be able to see her, and she did not hesitate to order her to launch an attack on him on the spot, at that time, her words and deeds were basically the most standard and exemplary "magician" posture, but when he came into contact with him today, found that she was actually not so bloodless and tearless, cold and withdrawn, and even no different from ordinary girls.
"Speaking of which, Illya, you're from the Einzberen family in Germany, right? It's too much for your people to send such a young man here to participate in the Holy Grail War, didn't your parents say something about it? ”
Because Illya's appearance is extremely delicate and immature, and her figure is far more petite and slender than ordinary people, she looks as if she is only in the upper grade of elementary school, so it is naturally easy to arouse the protective desire of others, even if a person like Bai Ze has been unreasonably attacked, it is easy to dissipate the hostility towards her - after all, the more pure the mind of the person, the more cruel and decisive she often acts, because she does not even have the correct concept of good and evil and ethics in her heart, just like a madman who kills people does not violate the criminal law, if she is unfortunately implicated, I can only consider myself unlucky.
Speaking of which, Bai Ze is really curious about the situation of Einzberen, an alchemy family that is said to have been inherited for thousands of years, he has heard of the system and concept of "Holy Grail War", which actually originated from this ancient family, you must know that the Tosaka family is regarded as providing spiritual veins and land, and the Jian Tong family has only perfected the restraint mechanism of the imperial envoy Heroic Spirit, to put it bluntly, the real core part has always been in the hands of the Einzberen family, If it weren't for the fact that there weren't so many first-class magicians in this family who could participate in the operation of this system, there would have been no possibility and necessity for others to get involved.
- Although it seems that this Holy Grail War is only about ten years away from the last one, and the previous Holy Grail War is said to have fought each other extremely fiercely, there are almost no ten participants at that time, and even the only survivor died of a recurrence of an old injury within a few years, especially cultivating a magician not only to see talent but also to see the ownership of magic markings, so it is not surprising that after the death of the previous signboard holder, there was a lack of green and yellow in the middle.
But after all, it is a big family with a thousand-year-old history, and it is impossible to have too few people in his clan, but this Holy Grail War, which has placed the long-cherished wish of the entire family for thousands of years, is now in the hands of a child, and there are only two girls who don't look very old as guards, which can't help but make people feel that the people of this family are a little too unreliable.
“——————”
In response to Bai Ze's inquiry, Illya fell silent and did not respond.
