The illusion cracked and scattered, and the knight's iron boots stood on the wooden floor again.

She heard Alice Phil's call.

Although it was only for a brief moment, Alice Field's voice seemed far away.

There is also anxiety in the tone.

"Saber, you're alright."

"It's not a big deal, it doesn't affect the battle...... Alice Phil, are you hurt?! ”

Artoria's expression was in a trance for a moment, and after instinctively replying to Alice Field, she saw the silver-haired woman lying on the ground.

She hurriedly leaned down and picked Alice Fell up while keeping an eye on her surroundings.

But there were only Alice Fell and the two of them in the room.

The intermingling of illusion and reality affected her reflexes, and she didn't know when Purple and Elquit left, but according to the sense of breath, it didn't take long to leave...... Wait, it's only two people, so ...... Elija?

"Saber, I'm fine...... Elija was taken away by the magician...... "Alice Phil was just knocked to the ground, scraping a little skin, and neither Purple nor Elquette had no intention of hurting her, so they didn't hit her hard.

"It's all my fault, if I had reacted sooner, Illya wouldn't have been snatched away......," Artoria looked annoyed.

This is the second time Purple has taken Illya.

To say that the first time she and Alice Fell left Einzberen that Aozaki Zi saw the vacancy, this time it was an undeniable frontal defeat, with her ability to resist the great magic power, she was not spared from Purple's illusion, but with her knowledge, the structure of this illusion is not very much like a regular magic eye, but similar to some special abilities......

"Don't blame yourself, Saber, the Aozaki family is a family with a magical heritage, and Kiritsugu also reminded you to be careful of him......"

Alice Phil soothed her softly.

"Magician? It's just that he hasn't mastered magic..."

Artoria couldn't help but think of the illusion in which Purple appeared in the form of Merlin.

Her mood was chaotic, ideal and reality, past and present, Holy Grail and Alice Field, as if the messy threads were tangled into a dead knot and blocked in her chest.

But there is still one thing that the girl needs to be a priority.

“…… Alice Phil, we need to hurry up and rescue Illya. As soon as she got down to business, Artoria became extremely calm, suppressing all her personal emotions.

Illya is Alice's daughter, and the container of the Holy Grail, and neither one can tolerate her falling into the hands of outsiders.

No matter what kind of enemy she has, she will fight for victory.

“saber…… He said he would find a way to save Illya. ”

Alice Phil looked hesitant and poured down a basin of cold water.

“…… The enemy's lies cannot be believed. Artoria was stunned and admonished Alice Phil.

I don't know, but he said that even if Elijah was sacrificed, Kiritsugu's dream would never come true. His sister is the Fourth Magician, so she probably knows better. Alice Fell whispered.

Artoria then understood why Alice Fell had not been very anxious.

Alice Phil had already developed doubts about the Holy Grail.

Although between Kiritsugu and Illya, Alice Phil reluctantly chose her husband, but Purple's kindness to Illya and the message before leaving that day really made Alice Phil shake.

The husband and daughter are at both ends of the scale, even if they are more loyal to their husbands, but the belief in protecting Illya is not much lighter than this loyalty, and even after Purple forcibly took Illya, Alice Phil actually had such an idea.

"Alice Fell, it's not safe here, we're leaving, but I'll definitely bring it back with Illya!" Artoria hesitated for a moment, but she didn't want to force Alice Phil either, so she offered a compromise first.

"Well, it's all my fault, and I'm embarrassing you...... I, I'll fight alongside you. ”

Alice Fell looked at the girl apologetically.

"Thank you, Alice Phil."

The maiden knight held her hands and sighed inwardly.

◇

Purple and Elquit, who were in the shadows of the city, slowed their pace.

"Ah, I really didn't chase after me, isn't this little girl a very important Holy Grail?" Elquit was surprised.

"I'll still look for it, Artoria won't give up easily, but Alice Phil has dragged her for so long, and it seems that she is not so ruthless to Illya." Purple rubbed the corners of her eyes.

After using the MAGIC Eye for so long, his eyes were sore, and his mind felt like a fire was burning, and Artoria's memories were not without effect on him, making his head even more swollen...... However, he also knows the side effects of the magic eye, as long as he doesn't use it frequently, he can recover after a night's rest.

Although it was a little uncomfortable, considering the ability of the magic eye, there was such an easy price, and it was still earned.

Although there is no direct lethality, and the method of cracking it is very simple, once it is activated, even a heroic spirit with extremely high magic resistance like Saber will also fall directly into the illusion. I'm afraid his magic eye can't be classified as magic at all...... Ignoring the special illusion of anti-magic and the difference in strength, such an ability, in the words of Orange, can only be attributed to special superpowers. Considering that the Aozaki family doesn't have a special bloodline, I think it has something to do with that.

"Xiao Zi, do you have a way to save her?" Erquit remembered what Purple had said to Alice Phil and asked casually.

Illya's breath was already faint when Purple took her away.

"I'm not sure, but I guess I'll do my best."

"Now, isn't that just lying?" Elquit tilted his head and said with a big grin.

"It can be regarded as a white lie, she can only be used as a sacrifice in Emiya Kiritsugu, and I can still think of something for her...... Since it's a variable that I've caused, I'm going to take care of it. Purple pressed her left hand on Illya's forehead, constantly pumping magic power into her to repair her damaged body.

Since the opening of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, the souls of four servants have been absorbed by Illya, and except for the caster, the remaining three have arrived in just one day, and Illya's function as a human being has almost completely lost after containing the soul, and the moment when Illya is completely unconscious, it is the moment when her personality is swallowed by the evil of this world.

It's just the personality of an eight- or nine-year-old girl, and it is absolutely impossible to resist the erosion of the evil of this world. The scabbard of the holy sword is still with Alice Phil, and Purple can only use the magic of healing to keep Illya alive.

"Is that so, Xiao Zi is not such a warm-hearted person." Elquit's instincts told her it wasn't such a simple reason. Purple is generally not concerned about things that are beyond the reach of her power, as long as she does not involve herself.

"It's been discovered, Elquit......" Purple gave a slightly embarrassed expression, and then turned calm. Naturally, it's not all because of guilt, but also because of the greater research value of Illya after becoming a little chalice," Zi paused, and continued: "Moreover, I decided to save her, if I give up here, when I encounter similar obstacles in the future, I will never be able to get over it again, and when the joke of fate inadvertently comes, the illusory luck is not enough to rely on!" ”

Erquit looked at Purple in silence, looking at Purple's eyes. In the ice-blue pupils, there is a color of indomitable perseverance.

Elquit had never seen such a look on Purple, although Purple's temperament was not soft, but her attitude had always been gentle and polite, calm and calm, such a firm look made her a little uneasy.

Purple's voice lowered.

"After a few nights of rest, the other masters are refreshed. The truce passed so fast. So far, four Heroic Spirits have returned to the throne, will there be a winner for the rest? ”

Purple raised her head and looked at the sky.

A figurine-like elf flapped its wings and landed on his shoulder, biting his ear.

Purple listened to the information from Sylv, and her expression became solemn, and after a while, Silf flapped her wings and flew around Purple and Elquit a few times, and after a few flashes, she melted into the breeze.

Artoria still persuaded Alice Phil to find Illya's whereabouts in Fuyuki City, and it was very targeted to investigate the four spiritual places where the Holy Grail Ceremony could be held one by one.

Purple has several plans for Illya's situation, but she doesn't dare to grasp whether it will succeed or not, but time waits for no one, and there is less and less time left for him, even if you let Erquit come forward to drag it out, Purple must also prepare for the worst.

"Artoria is on the move." Purple sighed softly.

"Are you worried about me? Know, I'll cover Xiao Zi, my knowledge and experience are richer than Xiao Zi! Elquit said nonchalantly.

"Uh-huh." Purple's face was full of helplessness.

I don't know if Erquit really doesn't care, but although Erquit looks innocent and direct, he can still distinguish the weight, so Zi won't say much.

After casting the magic that Sister Orange taught him to reduce his sense of existence, Zi silently calculated for a while, during which he also used magic to carefully probe the condition in Iliya's body, and checked it three or four times before stopping.

Useful plans were eliminated in his analysis, and the last one was extremely risky and had a very low success rate, but if it did, even a small one, it would be enough to save Elijah's life.

There was a hesitant look on Purple's face, and then she turned resolute.

Illya ran out of time, and hesitating was wasting what little vitality Illya had left.

He quickly ran towards the outskirts of the southwest.
