Frustration.

For the first time, Saber tasted the bitterness of defeat, something he had never felt before.

A fair duel between knights, one-on-one heads-up, she was defeated head-on by others, and she lost without the slightest room for argument.

Artoria couldn't understand one thing, why a Caster would have inherent skills related to swordsmanship.

Even if Wuming has an unpredictable background and many identities, he was once a knight, a swordsman, and a magician......

But when he came down to the rank of Caster, how could he still retain such a strong melee ability?

When she asked this question, Wuming just told her very calmly - he was a mage, and mage is a melee class.

He also said of course that if he couldn't beat the knight in close combat, then what kind of mage should he be, just go to the circus to perform magic tricks.

Silly King: "........."

Wren squatted down, looked at Saber, whose face was not very good-looking and was a little depressed, and stretched out his palm:

"Technique—Starlight Guardian."

Countless points of light flew out of his palm like fireflies, and Saber was slightly surprised, staring at the hand in front of him like a whirlpool of light, and the fluorescent swirls around her.

It's like being dispelled by the warm sun, the pain in the body quickly disappears, the tired muscles are rejuvenated, and even the spirit is lifted.

The effect was immediate, and the healing magic that Wu Ming cast was even stronger than Alice Phil.

"You're ......" Saber's mouth opened slightly, surprised.

She was about to say that you are very good at magic, but she remembered that the other party was Caster, and closed her mouth again.

"Don't be surprised, it's just healing, and a lot of magicians do." Wren smiled and stood up.

"Then why didn't you use magic when you just fought? It's just agreed in advance that you can't use the treasure, are you looking down on me? ”

The injury was almost healed, and Saber immediately stood up, glaring at Wuming with a little displeasure in her tone.

"Since it's a duel between knights, of course you have to use a sword to fight it out."

"Hmph, you wait, I will lose today, I remember!"

Artoria looked like she would beat him next time if she had the chance, and she wouldn't throw in the towel easily.

Looking at her competitive appearance, Wren is not surprised, she is the kind of character who is unwilling to admit defeat, otherwise if she changes people, she may have accepted the fact that Britain is destroyed.

However, he still said a little proudly:

"Saber, let's talk about it later, this time I am willing to gamble and lose, it's okay to listen to my arrangement, right?"

This battle was also quite enjoyable, and as a knight, he defeated the stubborn Dull King.

"Well... bar. ”

Although she really wanted to defeat Rider to strengthen her beliefs, she lost the bet this time, and she couldn't afford to pay for it.

"If we have the chance, we'll fight with all our might!" Saber stared at him, his emerald eyes burning with flames.

Wren knew what she meant, and used his treasure to fight with all his might.

He just nodded slightly, not to mention that they might not have a chance to fight each other in the future, but there were......

On the other side, watching the battle that had already come to an end, everyone had mixed reactions.

"A knight who defeated the famous Knight King, this is inevitable... It's weird. Jian Tong Yanye shrugged and said, saying strange words, but the tone was very flat.

Yan Ye knew that Wu Ming was not only able to project other people's treasures, he also had three treasures.

Not to mention the C-level Demon Hunting Knife, the "Infinite Sword System" didn't seem to be simple, although he didn't know what type of treasure it was.

The most terrifying thing is the treasure "Endless Thunder".

Aside from the rank, Yan Ye also didn't know what it was, but he instinctively felt that the treasure was terrifying.

Kiritsugu Emiya next to him didn't say anything, and to be honest, he didn't think Saber could beat Wuming.

Even he himself put the final bargaining chip of victory on Caster, and the holy sword of the Knight King is a treasure of the city, and its power is undoubted.

But with the Holy Sword Excalibur, can you defeat the Hero King?

At least judging from the performance at the King's Banquet, only the unpredictable Wuming can really compete with Gilgamesh, and even Rider is inferior.

Alice Phil was about to say something, but her eyes suddenly became blurry, and the sounds and images around her seemed to be completely distorted for a moment, and she only felt that the world was spinning, and her consciousness gradually fell into darkness.

"Madam, you ......"

"Alice Phil!"

Before she lost consciousness, she seemed to hear the worried voices of Maiya Kuyu and Saber, and she felt very sorry in her heart.

………

In one of the bedrooms in the castle, the atmosphere was very oppressive.

Alice Fell was like a sleeping beauty, lying quietly on the bed, and anyone with a keen sense could see that her life characteristics were as fragile as the candles of the cold wind.

Berserker, Lancer, and Assassin have been eliminated one after another, and the androids of the Einzberen family have reached their limit.

The more servants are eliminated, the little chalice in her body will gradually take shape, which is like stuffing a large metal cup into her heart, and the pain can be imagined.

has been able to persevere until now, and my wife is strong enough.

"Kiritsugu, why is this happening?! How could the Einzberen family do such a callous, indifferent to life, and use man as a tool? ”

Saber stared at Emiya Kiritsugu with an unbelievable look on his face, and his heart was filled with unspeakable pain.

Just now, Emiya Kiritsugu had already told her that the little chalice was not kept by anyone, it was actually in Alice Phil's body, and Alice Phil was technically just the shell of the little chalice.

Daddy Kiritsugu sat on the edge of the bed and took his wife's cold hand.

His face was still expressionless, and he glanced at Saber, who was grief-stricken, and remained silent without speaking.

No one knows what's going on in the mind of the magician killer.

Yanya and Maiya stood quietly to the side, they had just learned the truth and didn't know what to say.

Kiritsugu's paralyzed face and silent posture completely ignited Saber's anger, and she asked sharply:

"Kiritsugu! Alice Phil is your wife, and you just watch her die indifferently and indifferently?

I thought you just hated me, and you still loved your wife and daughter deeply, but now you can even ruthlessly sacrifice your relatives for the sake of the so-called ideals? ”

Just like when Kim Twinkle laughs at her, this is the true wrath of the Knight King.

In the face of Saber's distressed eyes, Emiya Kiritsugu looked away, and said in a voice without a trace of emotion:

"The day is coming, and she's ready."

"You ......" Looking at the seemingly indifferent Emiya Kiritsugu, the Dumb Hair King couldn't help but go up and punch him.

Wren watched Saber silently from the sidelines, who was about to fall out with Kiritsugu.

He knew that the Dull Hair King was not simply angry with Kiritsugu, but also angry and deeply guilty about himself.

Saber and Alice Phil don't just have a good relationship, they also have a "vow" between them.

When she first arrived in Fuyuki, it was the first time that my wife had left the city of midwinter in Germany and entered the outside world.

When Saber learned of her experience, he swore in the name of a knight that he would be Alice Fair's guardian knight, just like a male knight guarding a princess.

This is no joke, a sacred oath that will be valid as long as Saber stays in this era for one day.

Even if she regains her status as a woman at this moment, the Dull Hair King is still willing to protect her princess.

But now, fate has played a cruel joke.

The more servants she kills, the closer Alice Phil gets to death, and as long as the Dull-Hairy King intends to pursue the Holy Grail, it is equivalent to pushing his wife step by step into the abyss of death.

Originally, Yan Ye was fooled by Father Mapo, and took advantage of Wild Lan to "not be for his own glory", disguised as the emperor and robbed his wife.

That was not good for the situation, but relatively speaking, it also prevented Kiritsugu and the Dull King from watching Alice Phil die.

But now, because Wild Lan was the first to be eliminated, and with the existence of Rennes, it is impossible for anyone to snatch the wife from the castle of Einzberen.

Saber was a little shaken at the moment, Wren had said so much, she was holding on to the idea that she must win the Holy Grail, but now she hesitated, hesitated......

After a long time, Saber's face was slightly decayed, she stared blankly at Emiya Kiritsugu, and asked in a dry and deep voice:

"Kiritsugu, if we don't fight...... The Holy Grail War is over, and leaving with Alice Phil now will save her life? ”

As soon as these words came out, Yan Ye and Maiya showed a ray of surprise, and Ren raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised.

For Saber, it meant giving up the Holy Grail and saving Britain, and you can imagine how determined she was to say this.

In fact, even Wren doesn't remember some details.

Originally, after Saber had to kill Wild Orchid, his desire for the Holy Grail reached an unprecedented peak.

But when she actually saw the little grail, the first thing she called out was Alice Phil's name, mourning for her.

Hearing the words of the Dull Hair King, it was Emiya Kiritsugu who really shook in his heart, he held his wife's hand and trembled imperceptibly, and his mood was very complicated at this moment.

Saber's choice moved him and made him even more painful.

For a moment, he really wanted to give up everything, no matter what world peace, everyone's wish for happiness, and take his wife away to fly away.

But he... There was no turning back, from the time he killed his father, Emiya Juxian, with a gun, there was no way back.

This path can only lead to victory or the destruction of loneliness.

Daddy Kiritsu's lips moved, and he forcibly suppressed the throbbing and hesitation in his heart, and said in a voice as plain as possible:

"It's useless, it's already ...... It's late, and the little chalice is at work. ”

He didn't lie, in fact, before the first servant was eliminated, it was still possible to escape.

But now, even if the Holy Grail War is stopped immediately, the hope of saving Alice Phil is very slim, because her body is on the verge of collapse.

The role of the Little Chalice is to temporarily store the souls of defeated Servants.

Without the Little Grail, the Servant's dead soul will return directly to Valhalla, and it will not be able to be used by the Great Grail.

This is also the reason why Alice Fell rushed to Fuyuki City from Germany immediately after the Holy Grail War began, and if it was too far away, the little Holy Grail would not be able to collect the soul of the servant.

In other words, if Emiya Kiritsugu chooses to run away from the beginning, or if he doesn't even come to Fuyuki City or even the island country, he can save his wife's life.

But now...... It's late.

Saber's face turned very pale as if she had been struck by lightning, and her fingers clenched.

Looking at Alice Phil lying unconscious on the bed, her vitality as weak as a candle in the wind.

Thinking of the oath to protect her, all of this stung the heart of the Dull Hair King, and she felt guilty and painful, because in a way, she was also one of the reasons for her death.

The atmosphere in the room was very oppressive, and you could hear pins falling.

Jian Tong Yanye subconsciously touched his stomach, and the implanted "magic heart" was working to maintain his life.

He looked at Wuming, who was leaning against the wall with a calm face, and asked tentatively:

"Wuming, you're Caster, and it seems that too... Proficient in creature alchemy and some alchemy, can you try to save her? ”

After these words sounded, Maiya glanced at Ren, and Emiya Kiritsugu and Saber were both stunned, and then stared at him.

Saber grabbed the last straw like a drowning man and hurriedly asked, "Wuming, can you save her?" ”

"I thought Kiritsugu and Saber would ask this question first, but I didn't think it was you, Yanya."

Wren on the side clasped his hands to his chest and showed a faint smile.

Seeing this, Jian Tong Yanye couldn't help but shudder, recalling his experience of being dissected that night, and he still has some psychological shadows.

He endured the pain a lot, how much he suffered when he was tortured by the worms, but because the anesthetic didn't work, he still felt a little numb in his scalp that night when he felt himself disemboweled.

The experience is extremely poor and makes people crazy.

Saber immediately walked up to Wren, raised his small fist, unceremoniously smacked his arm, and asked loudly:

"What about you, tell me quickly, can you save her?"

Yo, this stupid hair, gave him a punch for no reason.

But looking at her earnest gaze, Wren forgave her, and finding that everyone was looking at him, he explained:

"Strictly speaking, the little chalice is the core of Alice Phil's life, even more important than the heart of the human body, and she is only a shell in itself.

Although it was difficult, in theory, as long as there was something to replace the little chalice, it was possible to save her. ”

"Can you find something to replace the little chalice?"

The Dumb Hair King hurriedly asked, and Emiya Kiritsugu also stared at him.

"There should be, Wuming, the miniature alchemy reactor you implanted for me last time can be used as a heart." Jian Tong Yanye said after thinking about it.

In the expectant gaze of everyone, Wren took out a red agate-like thing from the storage ring.

A strong vitality emanated, this is not a gemstone, there are even vein-like lines on it.

"This is an artificial biological heart made of alchemy, similar to a magic furnace heart, after implanted in the human body, that person can breathe and absorb a small amount of large sources from the atmosphere, which is not enough to release magic, but it is enough to sustain life."

"Great!"

Saber was sincerely happy, looking at Wuming's eyes extremely hot, I didn't know if I thought she was interesting to him.

Daddy Kiritsugu was relatively calm, because he didn't feel easy when he saw Wuming's expression.

"Girl, don't be too happy, do you think it's easy to change your heart? Come on, this isn't a hair cut.

For Alice Fair, the little chalice is more important than the heart, almost as much as the heart of an ordinary person and half a brain. Wren pouted and poured cold water on him.

Saber's smile quickly faded, and he stared at him deadly, biting his lip and saying:

"I know it's difficult, but can you do it?"

Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Wren shrugged:

"It's easy to simply take out the little chalice, but it's very difficult to save her life and replace it with an artificial heart.

At my current level, the success rate is less than 30%. ”

The reason why he said it so late was related to the plan, but it was also because he was not sure, and he was a little hesitant in his heart.

It's easy to kill people, and it's easy to rob banks.

But it is not easy to go to jail after killing someone, and to swagger out after robbing the bank.

It is very easy to take out the small chalice in Alice Phil's body, it can be said that the movement is precise, and it can be done by a magician,

You can dig it out directly, without a little technical content,

Refer to Golden Flash and Iliya (UBW line).

Ilia: Berserker is the strongest!

Mr. Kim, a Warm-hearted Citizen: Illya, come here, I want to say a few heartfelt words to you.

However, it is very difficult to take out the little chalice in advance and save the life of the android.

In particular, the wife is not as functional as Iliya, and it is actually more difficult to take out the little chalice in her body and save her life.

Regarding alchemy and biological transformation, Wren recently learned a lot of theoretical knowledge in the world of steam.

But he didn't do it, Yan Ye was the first guinea pig, and the operation on him was not very difficult. However, he was almost killed by him that night.

However, it is also a matter of accumulating some experience, which is gratifying.

For this reason, after Wren successfully implanted the magic furnace for Yan Ye for the first time that night, he deliberately took it down and repeated the knife again, which can be regarded as accumulating experience.

Of course, there is no need to tell Yanye about this kind of thing.

"........."

This time, Master Wren intends to continue to do it, and he has no advantage not getting up early, certainly not out of all good intentions.

However, he gave Kiritsugu the opportunity to choose:

"Emiya Kiritsugu, you need to make a choice, declare in advance, the probability of successfully taking out the little chalice is one hundred percent.

But saving Alice Phil has a three-in-ten chance at most, and be mentally prepared to fail. ”

Saber's lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything after all.

Emiya Kiritsugu gave his wife a deep look and didn't hesitate for long.

The success rate is a little low, but if you don't do this, your wife will definitely die tomorrow night, and there is still a 30% hope for trying.

Needless to say, what choice should be made in this case.

Emiya Kiritsugu stared at Wuming with a pleading expression, at this moment, he was not some magician killer, he took off all his disguises, without any disguise and performance.

No matter how pessimistic he usually is, but when he really wants to lose her, he realizes that he is not so strong.

Emiya Kiritsugu's voice was a little hoarse and low, and he said with an unprecedented sincerity:

"Wuming, please."
