Chapter Twenty-Four: The Swordsman's Admonition

Knock knock

With the rise and fall of his chest, Kuyu Maiya's heart beat violently.

Her right hand was scratched, hiding behind a cement pillar, her nerves and most of the muscles and muscles in her body were highly tense at the same time.

Originally, according to Kiritsugu's plan, she was lurking here, preparing to snipe the magician who might escape through the window after Kiritsugu blasted down the Hyatt Building where Kenneth was located.

However, a long time has passed, and Kiritsugu has not yet contacted him - not only that, but Kiritsugu's biggest opponent in this Holy Grail War, or more accurately, the enemy, has come to his door at this time.

As a former Templar practitioner who has killed countless heretics and magicians, the other party is undoubtedly superior in combat power to himself who can only be regarded as an elite soldier at best—as evidenced by the results of the battle in an instant, as Kuyu Maiya himself retreated, while the other party chattered like a cat and mouse

She knew very well that if there was no external interference, she would inevitably be killed by this man if she lost her weapon, or become his prisoner, and then be used as bait to lure Kiritsugu.

However, even if she knows that she is invincible, she has to do her best?!

“Saber?”

Although he couldn't see the outside scene because he was hiding behind the pillar, with the surprising words he heard, and the fierce wind that suddenly blew just now, Maiya Hiyuzu had already made a judgment in his mind in an instant-it was Saber coming?

"Come out, Maiya-san."

Again, the emotionless voice made her confirm her judgment once and for all—it was indeed the voice of Mr. Saber.

So, it was Kiritsugu who asked him to come over?

With this in mind, she slowly stood up and stepped out from behind the pillar.

And then

Under the light of the moon and stars, the man in silver-white armor, carrying a black trench coat on his shoulder, looked at her expressionlessly.

“”

A bad premonition instantly filled her mind.

"Emiya Kiritsugu is dead?"

As if he had seen something unbelievable, the former practitioner, who had been calm and leisurely just now, said with difficulty the words that had been brewing in his head for a long time. At the same time, it was what she wanted to say.

"Yes, dead—killed by Lancer."

The silver Saber glanced at him and replied expressionlessly.

“”

Looking at this man who seemed to be a little unsteady on his feet due to the impact of the death of Emiya Kiritsugu, and the six black keys in his hand that were originally used to defend himself also slowly dissipated, Yan Feng saluted. The silver swordsman's expression melted slightly.

Although he once thought that this guy was just a happy priest, he also fantasized that if he participated in the Holy Grail War, he would be the first to kill him, so as to prevent this guy from harming society in the future. However, now that he saw a real person, he didn't have much killing intent - even though he had the power to kill the other person with his hand.

Just as he wasn't surprised by the death of Emiya Kiritsugu and didn't have much desire to avenge him.

-- After all, this man is just a young man who has lost himself on the path of life.

He remembered the description of the man in the original book: 'For as long as he can remember, he has never felt that any idea can be called sublime, nor has he experienced the slightest pleasure in his explorations. Nor did I get peace of mind from any entertainment. It is fundamentally impossible for a person like him to have such a thing as a sense of purpose.

Why is there such a big deviation between my feelings and the values of ordinary people in the world? Even this reason he did not understand. In general, in any field, Qili has not found anything that would allow him to take a positive attitude and inject all his enthusiasm into making it successful.

But even so, he believed in the existence of God. It's just that because I'm not very mature yet, I don't see anything truly sublime.

One day, he can be guided by the sublime truth and saved by the divine gospel, which is the faith in which he still lives. Take this hope as the only bet, and life depends entirely on this hope.

But deep down, Qili has understood. You can't be saved even by God's love. ’

Unable to rely on God's salvation, he embarked on the path of self-redemption - though later he was completely led down the wrong path by the tyrant of the Golden Shining Tyrant.

And if it weren't for Jin Shining's seduction (teaching) and a series of coincidences in this Holy Grail War, maybe he would have been lost on the road of life for the rest of his life, and he would have been confused until death; It is also possible to discover the meaning of another life at a certain stage of life; It is even possible to become a happy priest without a teacher

In any case, these are things for the future, and he can't do it because of something unnecessary.

So, since you see it, let me do my best to mention him a little bit - let's think it's a good deed every day.

Besides, he also can't get used to the guy who sees other people's lives as a clown's show!

Thinking like this, his gaze fell on the man again, completely ignoring the Kuyu Maiya behind him and the assassin who had just arrived and was incarnated around him.

"Yan Feng Qili," he called the young priest's name, "what do you think is the biggest difference between humans and animals?" ”

"Rational?"

Although he didn't understand why the Servant, who was supposed to be on a hostile side, asked himself such a question, the young priest, who had recovered a little from the shock just now, still answered according to his own thoughts after thinking about it.

"So, do you think the moral norms of this society are correct?"

“”

This time the thought - or rather the confusion was a little longer, but the black priest nodded.

"Hmm." The swordsman nodded—although his face was still expressionless, there seemed to be something more in his eyes, but if he looked closely, it still seemed to be the same as before.

"Stick with that affirmation, and one day you'll find the answer you're looking for—though it may be a long time later."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at the woman who looked like the walking dead, and his face became more and more expressionless.

"Let's go."

“Saber?”

As soon as his words fell, another voice full of doubt, confusion, and inquiry came from behind.

"It's up to you to find your own answers." The silver figure with its back to the priest paused before saying something like this.

"Also, don't trust Gilgamesh - that guy has the highest intelligence among men, but not all of them can be approved of him.

If you are treated as a plaything by a tyrant who sees everyone as a bastard, you will end up in a miserable situation - although he may be able to find a seemingly correct answer to your question. ”

With that, the silver swordsman and the woman in black departed, leaving the priest standing in vain, stunned and confused, pondering the swordsman's words, until the seemingly unbearable assassin materialized in front of him, and his thoughts were interrupted.

"Didn't I say don't just materialize outside?"

Frowning his brows, the young priest said with some displeasure.

"I'm so sorry, but I have something very urgent to inform you about - Caster's traces have finally been caught."

Hearing this important news, the young priest kept the conversation in his heart and listened intently to the assassin's report.

If you get the chance, let's see Saber again

Perhaps, this Heroic Spirit will find a way to help him find the answer

In the priest's heart, such an idea secretly germinated, very small.

PS: If Kiritsugu is the type who doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back, then Mapo is the type where anyone can go up and draw a few strokes - as long as the level (plug-in) is high enough.

In the end, I still ask for recommendations, clicks, and collections for the sages of the other world on the main site.

PS1: When I was diving in the group yesterday, I suddenly found a remark that had a lot of slots and made us depressed - the new RBQ book of Constellations is not very good, but FZ is quite smooth

Suddenly I don't know whether to be happy or sad.
