"I knew you'd come......"

Until Qianyu and Xiao Hei approached the ancient city, the figure of a middle-aged man hidden in the shadow of the city gate slowly emerged.

He took a puff of the cigarette in his mouth and exhaled a cloud of smoke before he raised his eyes and calmly looked at Qianyu and Xiao Hei who were walking over.

"Dad...... Father. ”

Xiao Hei opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't know what to say.

Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at Xiao Hei, and the cigarette between his fingers seemed to be deformed suddenly because of his excessive force, and then he was silent for a moment before whispering to Xiao **:

"It was my fault back then."

Xiao Hei shook his head, holding back the tears that were almost dazzling, and said, "Those things...... It's already in the past. Mom, she's already explained everything to me. ”

"Elie ......" Emiya Kiritsugu muttered, and then walked to the side of Lu Bu, who was sitting on the war horse with a cold expression, and didn't look up at Lu Bu, who was more than a meter above him, "Lancer, I want to talk to Beat alone first, you wait......"

Lu Bu lowered his head and sneered a few times: "Master, I hope you had better hurry up, my patience is running out." ”

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't answer, but walked directly towards Chiyu, his hands in his pockets, silent without any defense.

It wasn't until he crossed Qianyu's side that he said flatly, "Xiao Hei, don't come with me." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Hei was stunned for a moment, but still hesitantly stopped wanting to turn around.

Qian Yu hesitantly glanced between Xiao Hei and Lu Bu, and then heard Weigong Kiritsugu, who had already walked away, say lightly, "Lancer won't do it." ”

Qianyu thought for a moment, but still followed Emiya Kiritsugu into the distance.

After reaching a certain distance, Emiya Kiritsugu stopped, removed the cigarette butt that had already been in his mouth, flicked it to the ground, and stepped on it a few times to extinguish it.

Then he turned around, looked at Qianyu from a distance of a few meters, sighed, and said, "Beat, do you know why I want to talk to you first?" ”

Qianyu thought about it for a moment and shook his head.

He had very little to do with Emiya Kiritsugu, and he couldn't think of anything they needed to talk to alone from others.

"It's her." Emiya Kiritsugu's next sentence almost made Qianyu stop breathing and look at Emiya Kiritsugu in a daze.

"She?" Qianyu hesitated as if in confirmation.

"That's right, about 'her.'" Emiya Kiritsugu nodded.

Qianyu's originally calm expression became extremely serious: "How much do you know about her?" ”

"How much do you not know?"

"Nothing." Qianyu replied without hesitation, "Who is she?" Why create this Holy Grail War? Why is it that I need to defeat all seven Immortals at the same time to grant my wish? I don't have any answers to these questions. ”

Emiya Kiritsugu was silent, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath in his mouth, and exhaled a cloud of white smoke, which was quickly blown away by the desolate wind.

"I'm someone who lived through a Holy Grail War, so I can vaguely guess some of the oddities." Emiya Kiritsugu stared at the cigarette in his hand in silence for a long time before speaking.

"She's definitely not the one I've seen inside the Holy Grail......" Emiya Kiritsugu paused and skipped a certain word, "This Holy Grail War, not the Holy Grail War. ”

Qianyu heard it inexplicably: "What do you mean?" ”

Emiya Kiritsugu directly flicked off the cigarette he had only smoked: "In other words, she is just using the name of the Holy Grail War to create such a war that is completely different from the Holy Grail War in order to achieve her goals." ”

"Do you know her purpose?"

"No......" Emiya Kiritsugu shook his head, but nodded again, "I don't know, but I understand something." ”

"She's a being above the world, something she wants...... In other words, the purpose can naturally eliminate countless possibilities. ”

"If there is anything to do with her, it is only you who are treated differently."

"Me?" Qianyu pointed at himself in surprise, but what Emiya Kiritsugu said was not unreasonable, so he couldn't find any rebuttal.

To be able to summon the Heroic Spirits of different worlds and fulfill the wishes of the Heroic Spirits of seven different worlds at the same time is to say that it is above the world.

However, Qianyu was treated harshly, and if he wanted to realize his wishes, he had to erase the wishes of the other heroic spirits one by one, and desperately strive for victory.

So her purpose is really related to Qianyu and him, and it's not unexpected.

"But...... What does she think of me? Qianyu muttered softly, his hands gradually clenched.

"Judging by how easily she was able to fulfill the wishes of the Seven Heroic Spirits, we were insignificant to her...... And you're a special being, so I've been thinking about ......"

"Perhaps, this Holy Grail War will exist only for you."

“…… This is the Holy Grail War for you alone. ”

The words of parting with her echoed in his mind again, and Qianyu immediately gritted his teeth, and before he could answer, he saw Emiya Kiritsugu speak: "If you can really defeat the seven heroic spirits and achieve the final victory, then you may be able to know who she really is and what kind of relationship she has with you." ”

Qianyu pondered for a long time before nodding slowly, and then asked, "Then what is the purpose of telling me this......

"To make up for the mistakes I made in the past......" As he said this, Emiya Kiritsugu glanced in the direction of Xiao Hei, "If you lose at the hands of Lancer, then Xiao Hei will naturally be able to go back safely; But if you can really keep going, then I have a piece of advice for the secrets you are hiding that you don't even understand......"

"What?"

"Be careful, it's not just the Heroic Spirits."

"......" Qianyu opened his mouth, but said nothing.

"Go back, Lancer probably can't wait." Ignoring Chiyu's puzzled expression, Emiya Kiritsugu stepped past Chiyu's side and walked towards the Tiger Prison Gate.

"In the end, for this battle, my wish is no longer pinned on the Holy Grail, so I will not interfere in your battle, and you can not worry about the existence of me and Xiao Hei."

"But ......"

"In the face of the real 'Wushuang', the chances of winning are very slim."

Qianyu watched the back of Emiya Kiritsugu slowly walk away, and finally just sighed, and followed Emiya Kiritsugu step by step towards the figure in front of the Tiger Prison Gate.

Although Qian Yu always had to face multiple enemies in the previous three battles, and this time there was only one enemy for Lu Bu, for some reason, there was a vague sense of foreboding in his heart that was far greater than before.

This time, it may well be his toughest fight.
