"I've sat down as you commanded, can you answer my question?"

From the preoccupation at the beginning to a slight relaxation, from a slight relaxation to a surprise, and then from a surprise to a surprise, one after another, the brain of Emiya Shirou was exhausted, and even the breath began to weaken when he spoke......

Facing this silver-haired royal sister, it always feels like facing a certain demon Lori

"Hehe, although I have guessed a few points from the way it looks, but it is even more interesting than I imagined when I actually tease~"

"Ha ?!!"

"No, it's okay to get back to the point." Stretching out his white hand to cover his small mouth, when Yi Ai took his hand away, his delicate face had been replaced with a strict expression that was different from the kind of play just now, but a real god, "Just like you can fight with a bow and arrow, and you can manipulate time, as one of the three main gods, in addition to being in charge of water and intelligence, I also have various abilities." For example, predicting the future is one of my abilities. ”

"Foresight?! So you knew I was going to be in this day and now, and I'm going to come to you for help?!" Emiya Shirou looked at Ai with wide eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in his clear pupils.

Although it has long been heard that some gods have the ability to predict the future

But if even such a detailed thing can be predicted, then what is the difference between Ai's zài and cheating?

"Well, of course, it's not as accurate as you think. What I see is very vague, and I can clearly understand it, and even a tenth of it may not be said to be a foreknowledge, in fact, it is like a dream," Yi Ai pointed to his head, then brushed his long hair, and continued, "You should have heard about the demon snake near here, right?"

"Ahh You mean the serpent that will corrupt the surrounding area, right?"

"Yes. No, with its strength that is comparable to the gods, it can't actually be called a demon snake anymore, it's better to call it a monster. The monster was actually a pet raised by the god king of the gods, Arallus, who was older than us, before Anu became the king of the gods, in the abyss of the underworld. At that time, whenever a god made a mistake, Allul would throw that god directly into the abyss of the underworld, and if the god could escape, he would be acquitted, and otherwise he would become food for the serpent. Perhaps because there were too many gods to eat, over time, by digesting the power of the gods, the snake also grew head after head, tail after tail, and finally became what it is now. Originally, when Anu overthrew the old gods, the gods had worked together to seal the snake in the depths of the underworld, but" the tone was still so calm, but as he spoke, a hint of taboo appeared on Ia's face, "I don't know why, a while ago, the seal of the gods suddenly collapsed and disintegrated rapidly, and by the time we noticed, the monster had gone from the depths of the underworld to the world to do evil." ”

"However, if the opponent is such a powerful monster, shouldn't we gather the power of the gods again and try to destroy it in the shortest possible time? Why are you the only one here to suppress him?"

"There's no way, the so-called gods, in fact, are very different from your human imagination. Most of them are guys who only know how to covet their current status, strength, and life, and don't care about anything else. Coupled with some internal contradictions between the gods, it is simply not feasible to expect them to make a move. Even I, who came here of my own free will, had the order of "Annu and humanity to fend for themselves until the serpent really invaded the gods," and left nothing to chance," and after a pause, Ai pointed his finger at Emiya Shirou, "and then I dreamed of you while I was trying to figure out how to persuade Annu to make a move." ”

"Dreaming of me?"

"Hmm. To be precise, I dreamed of a man with long silver hair like me. Intuition told me that this person was the key to solving the demon snake, but unfortunately, in the dream, his face was very blurry, and he could barely see anything except silver hair. But there was one thing that stood out to me, and that was that the man was holding a golden key in his hand, and the tip of the key gave off a strong light, pointing in a certain direction, and then, at the end of the light, there was a girl in golden armor."

“”

"That's pretty much the end of the dream. There isn't much to see, but it's certain that the girl should be the son of God, the king of men. After all, in addition to having the ability, there are not many people who like to wear golden armor~"

Indeed, there is a little bit of magic about her aesthetic. Well, even though I like to wear a kimono and a trench coat at the same time, I'm not qualified to say that."

"That's exactly the case~ Thanks to the unique taste of the son of God, I finally know the clues of the people of fate. When I woke up, I immediately used my power to reflect the condition of the Son of God in the nearby pool using the nearby droplets as a medium. If I'm not mistaken, it was when she and Enkidu joined forces against the Guardian of the Forest, Fenbaba. At that time, the battle was really fierce, the children of God were already quite tired, and Enkidu was in a small crisis. Just as I was thinking about whether to help, the man of fate rushed to the scene in a hurry. With your support, the Children of God quickly defeated Finbaba and seeing your strength, I am even more convinced that you are the one I am waiting for. Since then, I've been observing you in reflection, and that's when you learned about your agreement with Enkidu. ”

"You're a strict intrusion on other people's privacy, if it's in my time, I can sue you?" Sighing softly, Emiya Shirou looked helplessly at the royal sister in front of him, and his eyelids twitched unconsciously.

It turns out that it's not just an agreement with Enqidu, and this royal sister has been observing herself since she met with her mother!

Anyway, this feeling of déjà vu, this royal sister really has something to do with that stupid Lori, right?!

"Great husband, in this day and age, the gods have the power to judge. As one of the three main gods, I hereby declare me not guilty~"

"Is this the case that there is no way to tell the truth?" Rubbing the silver hair on his head vigorously, Emiya Shirou raised his head and looked directly into Yi Ai's eyes, "In other words, in front of me, my strength is on par with Jill's." Are you sure I'll be able to kill that snake?"

"Well, if you don't try, how do you know?" Without a positive answer, Ai smiled softly, "All in all, the Son of God should have rescued Ista by now." If Ista really proposed to the Son of God, he would definitely refuse with the character of the Son of God, right? And with Istta's character, he will definitely hold a grudge, and time is starting to run out. Because I've been watching you, I know exactly what you're trying to do. Leave the materials and finished products, and I'll be responsible for the manufacture of the dolls, but on the other hand, you have to solve this demon snake in the east, okay?"

"Deal."

Without even thinking about it, Emiya Shirou categorically agreed to Yi Ai's construction.

Originally, it was more suitable for him to directly copy the guy and fight the enemy. Since Yi Ai is willing to take care of the work that he can't do, it makes sense that he in turn helps Yi Ai deal with the things that the other party can't solve.

"Tell me where the snake is. I went and beheaded him. ”

His tone was full of determination, and he slowly turned around, and Emiya Shirou looked at Ai with a sideways face.

"I'd like to warn you beforehand that snake has a lot of miasma. Although it is not fatal enough for you, but just in case, I still recommend that you bring the jade that was originally intended to be given to the son of the god with you" After saying that, Yi Ai waved his hand lightly, and a gate appeared out of thin air in front of Emiya Shirou, "This gate can allow you to return to the bottom of the mountain in an instant, and after that, keep walking eastward When you feel the miasma, then you will naturally know where the other party is." ”

"Ahh

Without saying a word, he stretched out his hand into the other space, and when Emiya Shirou pulled his hand out, there was already a lot of material on the ground, and there was also a slightly curved jade in his hand, showing the shape of a comma. Hanging the jade around his waist, Emiya Shirou slowly stepped through the door that Ai had opened for him

"Is the conversation over after a long absence?"

Emiya's figure had completely disappeared, and looking at the place where he had once stood, Ai sighed softly

How long has it been since you spoke to someone as normally as you did just now? Hundreds of years? Or is it thousands of years?

Because of her status, it's only natural that others will be intimidated when they see her

Needless to say, ordinary people are ordinary gods, and when they see her, in addition to being submissive, there are only fearful songs and praises, and the only ones who will not be affected by her identity are probably only Anu and Enlier, the two main gods who are basically equal to her, right?

However, not to mention that Yi Ai himself does not like these two guys who always put their own interests first, and when the two of them saw Yi Ai, they only knew that there was no point of contact between the three of them except for proposing.

Originally secluded at the end of the sky, a certain Cheng dù just wanted to avoid this annoying brother

After staying at the end of the sky for a long time, there is less contact with others, and even she is about to forget the fun of talking

"Although he himself may not be aware of it, he has a rare heart and a rare pure soul and a present god from the future."

has the strength to be on par with her, and what is even more rare is that she has a pure heart that will regard her friends as more important than her own life, and it can be said that she is unique among the high gods.

Coupled with the funny reaction when teasing him, I always feel that if I get along with him, my life can become interesting

"Well, that guy won't die this time, anyway. Isn't it time to think about how you can survive into the future?" Thinking of the last question that Emiya Shirou asked himself just now, Yi Ai couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.

Although, Emiya Shirou's side is indeed ready for the death consciousness to meet the battle with the demon snake, but it seems that this is not the case at all on Ai's side.

In fact, there is one thing that Ai did not tell Sù Emiya Shirou, that is, her dream did not end immediately after seeing Niang Shiro. Before she woke up, at the end of the dream, she saw a scene that she will never forget

In the final scene of the dream, the eight-headed serpent let out a heart-rending cry, and beside it, a man with long silver knife and long silver hair stood there.

The red coat had long since been tattered, and blood stained his whole body, staining the man's hair red, and the man's white clothes. There was no doubt that the man was badly wounded, but even so, at the last moment, he swung his long knife and cut off all the heads of the serpent in one blow!"

The whole dream was very vague, except for the scene that was particularly clear

Truth be told, from Ia's point of view, it's just a battle to win.

"Uh-huh!!" Slowly standing up straight, Yi Ai stretched hard. Eventually, he turned his attention to the materials left behind by Shirou Emiya, "Let's finish it quickly." ”

P.S.1: Well, I finished this chapter in one go. The next thing is to cut the snake and fight the boss and then end the journey to ancient Mesopotasia, and this part is over. And the third volume is basically halfway through. After a bit of daily drama (mainly laying the groundwork for the Holy Grail War), it's officially the Holy Grail War.

P.S.2: In addition to the Fourth Magician, there is actually another setting for Shirou that was already set at the beginning of writing the book (there will be no more similar things here). The earliest foreshadowing seems to be in the first volume, right? After that, I repeated the relevant foreshadowing as a reminder every once in a while, and after too long of the guide, I could hardly remember what the foreshadowing was related to before. But if there is one of the most obvious foreshadowings, it is definitely this chapter. It's not fun to be completely spoilered, this chapter has five key places, combined with an important place in the previous chapters, do you want to try to guess it?

P.S.3: Speaking of which, the dividing line between Book 3 and Book 4 is quite blurred
