After cleaning up the unpleasant gang of ** elements, Purple was in a very happy mood.

But the joy didn't last long.

The demon sent news that Alice Phil and Saber had been transferred from the castle.

At first glance, it seems that it is just a shift in the Einzberen family, but after the departure of the three servants, Alice Fell is still healthy and active, which is obviously a perverse phenomenon.

"The container of the Holy Grail has become Elijah." As the initiator of this matter, Purple deduced the truth without thinking.

"Elijah...... Well, that little girl that Xiao Zi snatched, right? ”

Erquit searched his memories and found the corresponding plate from his vague impressions.

"Yes, she might have been the Little Grail of another Holy Grail War, but now she's a substitute for her mother......" Purple replied softly.

Could it be that Elijah's qualifications are too good?

Before the fourth war, Alice Phil's function as a container for the Holy Grail was adjusted to the best, but in the case of both her and Illya, it was Illia who operated the function of the Little Grail on her behalf...... Isn't this too cruel for Elijah?

"Xiao Zi's face is very bad, do you regret it?" The girl stared at Purple's expression and asked inquiringly.

"It's not so much regret as sympathy. I thought it would have been better to have Illya see her parents in a dangerous battlefield instead of staying in that cold castle and being abused by the old-fashioned magicians, but it always didn't work out as expected. Purple sighed.

The world is unpredictable and fateful.

The tragic fate faced by the artificial people of the Einzberen family, Purple can't change it, even if it doesn't become a container, the lifespan of the artificial person is also very short, before fate, Purple's best healing magic is to temper to the extreme of the mortal realm, and it looks so powerless.

"Of course, there are a lot of unsatisfactory times, isn't it that Xiao Zi often gets angry because something doesn't go well?"

“…… That's not what I'm talking about! Purple's expression froze.

True Ancestor Maiden always interprets topics from strange angles.

"Isn't it? Well, I don't know anything about the container of the Holy Grail, and if there is an accident, then it's time to change the strategy, right? ”

Erquit thought about it and proposed to build yì.

"It's so quick to change the subject, is it a self-taught skill, Erquit...... Still, a change of purpose? ”

The first half of the sentence was arranged in his heart, but after Erquit said this, Purple also began to seriously consider the relevant changes.

Ilia becomes the container of the Holy Grail, which means that the pressure on the side of Einzberen will increase, and Alice Phil will become a dispensable bargaining chip, and there is a problem...... Alice Phil, can you really bear to watch Illya die slowly?

Just like Sister Orange and Sister Aoko, Purple must choose between them, so between the ideals of her husband Kiritsugu Emiya and the extended life of her daughter, which side will Alice Phil fall towards.

Violent banging sounds were constantly resounding in the hotel.

In the inn, where the service was stopped, no one would disturb the intruders and the guards who were stationed there.

"The lowly mercenaries of Einzberen, in the name of the ninth generation of the head of the Aqipolud family, carry out a crusade against you!"

Kenneth, who played the role of an intruder, explored the interior of the hotel with a grim expression.

Under his delicate magical manipulation, the Moon Spirit Liquid destroyed the walls and furniture of the inn, and used the heat to search for the breath of its prey.

The dense water in all directions is pervasive, and each line of mercury is as thick as chopsticks, and it can also change the thickness and attack mode according to the gaps and obstacles, which is very useful. However, in order for the Moon Spirit Liquid to exert such a powerful function, the master's manipulation of magic power and familiarity with ceremonial clothes are also essential, and magicians who can do subtle operations of Kenneth's level are extremely rare in the clock tower.

Boom Boom!

The traps set up by Emiya Kiritsugu were also triggered and destroyed one by one under Kenneth's unreasonable violent destruction, and these trap mechanisms such as steel balls and bombs that seemed to be about to kill people made Kenneth's killing intent even stronger.

Kenneth had experienced the despicable tactics in the forest, and the magician killer who fought with mortal weapons would do anything to calculate his enemies.

Before the Holy Grail War, Kenneth was naturally dismissive of mortal firearms, but now his mind has changed, magicians are not omnipotent - Kenneth admits this, but unfamiliar territory is not difficult for Kenneth to overcome, so he has done his homework on the firearms used by Emiya Kiritsugu.

"It's hard work, despicable mercenary......"

Kenneth found the room where Emiya Kiritsugu had been there for a few minutes.

The cardboard box of the uneaten fast food burger was thrown in the corner, and the map on the wall was not destroyed in a hurry, and only some patterns were erased, proving that Emiya Kiritsugu had just left in a hurry.

Kenneth looked at the map and markings that Emiya Kiritsugu had carefully drawn, and his eyes flashed with admiration, but then they were replaced by disgust.

This vile and filthy rat is indeed quite attentive to intelligence gathering, but the more this happens, the more it becomes a scourge.

It turned out that he still underestimated this magician killer specially recruited by Einzberen, he was like a hunter in the shadows, usually hiding his whereabouts, silently collecting information, and showing his fangs at the right time...... Sora is a victim of his fangs.

Kenneth's face was clouded with a layer of grayness, and his magic power caused the Moon Spirit Liquid to transform into a silver tentacle-like form, which swept over the wall, destroying the efforts of Emiya Kiritsugu.

At the same time, the sound of violent machine-gun fire also suddenly rang out.

"You dare to show up, I don't know if it's recklessness or courage."

The moment the bullet landed next to Kenneth, the place where he was standing was encased in a semicircle of silver.

Kenneth is surrounded by a watertight film of mercury, which is less than a millimeter thick, but with the power of magic, the tension of the film can reach the strength of a steel plate. The bullets fired from the machine gun, which could only make a clanging sound under the defense of the mercury, were scattered on the outer floor of the mercury film.

This is the automatic defense mode of the Moon Spirit Marrow, especially under the sparring of Purple, Kenneth regards the automatic defense magic as the top priority, which can open a powerful defense film in an instant.

After a barrage of shots emptied the magazine, the man in the darkness pulled out a single-shot rifle and fired a shot at Kenneth.

Its bullet velocity was more than 2.5 times the speed of the previous submachine gun's bullet, and its destructive power was equivalent to seven times that of the latter, but Kenneth's Moon Spirit Fluid was not broken as he thought, but successfully blocked the bullet.

"It's very surprising, after being hit by carelessness last time, I'll guard against your weapon, firearms are not difficult equipment to understand, but just mortal toys, once exposed, your means will be useless!"

Kenneth said triumphantly.

Even Emiya Kiritsugu quickly escaped, and he didn't catch up.

Following Emiya Kiritsugu's escape route with mercury, Kenneth smiled silently, a red light flashing across his arm.

Calculating the time for Emiya Kiritsugu to recover and change bullets, Kenneth turned the corner of the corridor with a haughty expression at the right time to meet Emiya Kiritsugu who jumped out.

Emiya Kiritsugu did as he wished, and shot out his magic dress.

The bullet went into his mercury.

Even if he had been prepared, the moment the bullet hit, the feeling of the magic transmission being cut off was faithfully fed back into Kenneth's nerves, and the pain burned on the back of his hand, burning the stigma.

The spell Kenneth used to provide a source of mana was struck by the Origin Bullet and disappeared after completing its mission.

"Scalp!"

Kenneth activated another spell, using the fluid magic technique unique to the Achipolude family, to form a smooth mercury blade and draw it towards Emiya Kiritsugu.
