Chapter 41: The Dark Tide (continued)
Looking down from the top floor of the Hyatt Regency Winterwood City, the 32nd floor. There was no taller building in the entire city of Winterwood, but even living in such a luxurious suite that ordinary people would not dare to imagine, Kenneth's depressed mood was not alleviated in the slightest. Kenneth sighed anxiously as he tapped his fingers lightly on his slightly headache head.
The long-awaited opening of the Holy Grail War, and the first battle that is fully prepared. However, in terms of results, there is a considerable gap between them and expectations.
Kenneth has been called a genius since he was a child, he has become better than other children since he was young, he can appear to be more outstanding than other peers in whatever he does, no one has ever doubted his title of "genius", and there has never been anything that threatens his status as a "genius". So he needs neither pride nor arrogance, but just enjoys the title of "genius" as a matter of course.
Kenneth has never hit a wall or struggled with limits, and in the world of young Kennes, he is the master of everything. However, Kenneth was very dissatisfied with tonight's first battle, and he had a feeling that there were people outside the sky, but the pride in his heart did not allow him to admit that others were better than him.
"Lancer, come out." "Yes, master, I'm on standby." No sooner had Kenneth's impatient and disgruntled voice than the handsome Heroic Spirit appeared in front of Kenneth as if he were the most loyal servant.
Kenneth gave Lancer a series of reprimands, and Kenneth was disappointed with his performance tonight. was first strongly suppressed by Saber, and then when Saber's Master and Archer were fighting, Lancer took the opportunity to help Berserker get rid of Saber, but he didn't do his best, and finally completely wasted a great opportunity.
Kenneth saw Saber's ability value through Master's dialysis ability, and Saber's Master performed well, which was undoubtedly a very threatening combination, but Lancer didn't take advantage of this opportunity, and he was sneered at by Rider, how could this make the arrogant Kenneth not angry.
There is another thing Kenneth doesn't admit, and that is that he sees Ye Wuyue who is better than him, and he has a hint of jealousy. And there is a saying that "other people's things are always the best", and Kenneth already has a distrust of Lancer in his heart, believing that Saber, Archer, Rider, and even Berserker are stronger than Lancer.
Kenneth had always been a self-centered man, and he imagined that the combination of Nightless Moon and Saber last night was what he should be, rather than being sneered at and then walking away with his ass between his legs and humiliation.
And adding fuel to Kenneth's anger and jealousy is his fiancée. While Kenneth reprimanded Lancer and vented all his frustration on Lancer, his fiancée spoke up for Lancer. Instead of taking his side, his fiancée spoke for Lancer, which also made Kenneth feel more aggrieved and angry.
An invisible crack was slowly appearing in the middle of the pair, and although Lancer felt the effort to remedy it, Kenneth's personality was clearly out of step with him, and Lancer was struggling in vain. It's just a pity that a loyal and brave knight has such a master, and he can only blame Lancer for his bad luck.
Originally, there should be some amateur shows at this time, and Kiritsugu PAPA should have some explosions to help the fun, but now Emiya Kiritsugu still thinks that Saber is disturbed by Lancer's curse, and he naturally can't sneak attack Lancer's pair, and then let Saber recover, if it's really like the original book so stupid to sneak attack Kenneth, Emiya Kiritsugu is really having a problem with his brain.
There is also a pair that has fallen into a crisis of confidence, that is, the pair of Jin Shining and Tosaka Tokitoki. Although in the original book, the pair eventually broke down, but this time it may break a little faster.
The appearance of the night without moon undoubtedly brought the golden glitter's anger value to the peak, not only mocking himself but also hurting himself, how could he be calm when he was as arrogant as the golden glitter. It's just that Tosaka Shichen forcibly recalled him with a spell for fear that Jin Shanshan would expose his hole cards, and it can be said that most of Jin Shanshan's anger at that time was transferred to Tosaka Shichen's body, and even at the moment of return, Jin Shanshan directly released his killing intent unabashedly to Tosaka Shichen.
In the end, although there was no final break, the relationship between this pair simply dropped below freezing, and from the deep gaze of Jin Shishi, he could already see his dissatisfaction and murderous intentions for his master, and Tosaka Tokitomi didn't know that he also summoned the Grim Reaper for himself when he summoned the strongest Heroic Spirit.
……
While the other pairs were awkward and continued to prepare for victory in the Holy Grail War, the Caster duo were completely indifferent.
Caster's wish had come true in his mind, and now all he could do was to visit his saint without stopping. However, the enchantment arranged by Ye Wuyue himself was like a gutter that prevented Caster's thoughts, even the Caster rank, which was the best at magic, could not be said to break Ye Wuyue's enchantment when the difference in strength was relatively large.
But I have to say that after all, he is a class that is good at using magic, and Caster is looking forward to Saber too much, and this guy is also directly outside the temporary residence of Night Moon for an hour.
"Are you Caster? Are you here to declare war?" Night Wuyue and Saber left Caster dry for a long time, and he appeared after he finally succeeded in breaking the enchantment, feeling the cold and disgusting aura of Caster's body like a snake, Saber frowned and directly pulled out his sword and pointed at Caster and said.
Caster bowed his head respectfully, knelt down on the road as if he had met the king's courtiers, and said, "I have been waiting for a long time, Your Highness. ”
Although Saber used to be King Arthur and also had courtiers to meet her, there was absolutely no information about the person in front of her in her mind, he could not be her former courtier, and Saber also noticed the words in Caster's mouth, "Holy Maiden"
"I am your faithful servant, Gilles de Les, forever! I have been looking forward to your resurrection, to the day when I will be able to see you again, and I have been here for this purpose. Joan of Arc! Seeing Saber's puzzled look, Caster said to Saber with an excited expression, and even wanted to step forward and grab Saber's hand. But before Saber could act, Ye Wuyue had already placed a sword between the two of them. (To be continued.) )
